I've been on multiple backpacking trips where we lived off of only what we could carry (aka lots of meals involving tortillas). But there's nothing quite like cooking in the outdoors or climbing out of the tent on a brisk morning and having a hot cup of cocoa. Good times.... glad you had fun! :) Sounds like a feast!

For 6 adults I bought about $100 worth of 1.5 lb. lobsters. I chopped up the onions and lemons ahead of time and bagged them with the boil spices. We filled up a large enamel canning pot with water, added lemons, onions and seasoning and brought to a boil. We then added potatoes and corn and removed them when they were cooked. We then added the lobster and then the shrimp. You can see a similar camping shrimp and clam boil here - http://readablefeast.clubmom.com/readable_feast/2006/07/state_of_the_un.html - we did that one for my husband's birthday at a campground in the CO mountains.

Some of my best memories are campfire cooking, sleeping in tents & fishing. I could easily retire & live this way! As a kid growing up up in Colorado, we camped many times.
