How To Make a Brownie With an Orange

Brownies are delicious but they’re not usually something you think of when it comes to campfire cooking.

Believe it or not, they’re actually a lot easier to make than you think. With a little bit of brownie batter, and an orange, you can make yourself a delicious snack in about 30 minutes.

How To Make a Brownie With an Orange

What you’ll need

Brownie batter.

An orange.

Aluminum foil.

Knife.

Spoon (you can use the knife too).

Tongs (or something to pull it out of the coals).

1. Cut the top off of the orange

Using your knife, cut the top off of your orange slightly higher than halfway up.

2. Hollow out the orange

Now use your spoon or knife to hollow out the inside of your orange. Be sure to get all of the little strands out as well because they will be baked right into your dessert.

3. Add batter to the hollow orange

Now add your batter to your hollow orange and put the top back on.

It’s important that you don’t fill the orange all the way up or your brownie will spill out of the top as it begins to bake.

4. Wrap your orange in the foil and set it in the coals

Now wrap your batter filled orange in aluminum foil and place it in the coals for about 35 minutes.

Once your brownie is done baking, let it cool for a few minutes before unwrapping.

Then sink your spoon in and enjoy.

How To Make Char Cloth for Fire Starting

Char Cloth is a flammable piece of material which is usually used in conjunction with a ferro rod flint for fire starting.  The Art of Manliness explains that char cloth is created through a process of pyrolysis, which Wikipedia tells us is the “thermochemical decomposition of organic material at an elevated temperature in the absence of oxygen.”

Basically, char cloth is created by combusting an organic material in a way that releases its gasses without burning it up completely.

Having char cloth on you can be a life saver, especially if you’re trying to get a fire started in damp conditions.

Want to make your own char cloth?

As far as survival hacks go, this one is relatively easy.

You will need the following supplies:

Tin can (an Altoids box works great or a coffee can for large batches)

100% cotton (find old jeans, a shirt, or handkerchief)

Cutting tool (scissors or knife)

Puncturing tool (something to puncture the lid. A knife will work too)

1. First punch a hole in the top of your tin

A small nail is the perfect size for a hole punch. You don’t want your hole to be larger than the circumference of a pen because it could allow too much oxygen into your tin during the charring process.

2. Cut your cloth and put it in the tin

Now it’s time to cut up your old jeans or shirts that you want to use for your char cloth. The cloth will shrink during the process so make sure your pieces are large enough. Use your knife or scissors to cut out some pieces out at the size you desire.

If your tin is too small, your fabric will need to be bunched up or folded which will take more time in the charring phase.

3. Set your tin on an open flame

It’s important to do this step outside or in a heavily vented area. The gases coming from your vent hole when this thing heats up will be toxic and shouldn’t be inhaled.

How long does it take?

The amount of time it takes is based on how much cloth you’re using, the size of your tin, and how hot your flame is.

Typically it should only take 10-15 minutes and you’ll know when it’s finished when it stops smoking.

4. Cool down and storage

When your tin stops smoking, remove it from your heat source and let it cool down for a few minutes. If you open the lid immediately, the cloth could still be hot enough to combust, and the sudden rush of oxygen is enough to make that happen.

Store in a waterproof container or bag. Personally, I removed the other items from the EDC keychain and replaced them with my char cloth.

This way I’ll always have dry char cloth to start a fire, even if I’m in the middle of a hurricane.

How To Make a DIY Rocket Stove From a Tree Stump

Campfire cooking isn’t as easy as it looks. You’ve gotta start your fire, get the flames just right, and find a way to set your cookware into the flames so you don’t burn your food. This is fine if you’ve got the time. But if you’re trying to keep a low profile, and a Dakota Fire Holeisn’t an option, you can use this trick to make your own rocket stove.

The Rocket Stove and Dakota Fire Pit use the same combustion principles to produce a hot flame with very little smoke. You can buy portable versions of this stove to take with you, but why not do it yourself?

How to Make a DIY Rocket Stove

What you’ll need:

Tree stump

Scotch eyed auger

Fire starter

Camping cookware or mess kit

Knife (optional)

1. Drill a Hole in the Center of Stump

Use your Scotch Eyed Auger to drill a drill a hole in the center of the stump you want to use.

If you’re going to be starting fires later on, consider collecting some of the shavings to take with you as tinder.

2. Drill an Air Hole

Now you’ll want to make an air hole in the side of your stump. The added air flow provides a lot of heat and very little smoke. Again be sure to collect the shavings and put them in your EDC keychain or Altoids tin. Wood shavings are excellent for fire tinder.

3. Prep Your Stove Top and Light Fire

Now it’s time to light your stove from the side. As the flame comes up out of the hole, place small sticks inside until you get your desired flame size. Note: Both holes will get bigger the longer your fire stove keeps burning.

Add a few small rocks to your stove top so you have a little bit of space between your cook set and the log.

4. Cook Your Meal

Keep in mind that both your fire hole and air hole will gradually expand the longer you cook.  

You can increase air flow by using your knife to widen the side hole.

You never know what you’ll see at Rocky Mountain National Park in Colorado. Emerging from cover after a storm, Ron Hazeloop chased a rainbow to Spruce Lake and just happened to catch a large bull moose standing in the water. Snapping the photo, he called it “a magical moment.” Photo by Ron Hazeloop (www.sharetheexperience.org).

Happy Birthday, America.  

Today we’re not going to talk about surviving the apocalypse, camping in the rain, or how to defend yourself from a home intrusion. Today we’re celebrating America.

And what better way to celebrate?

When it comes to pounds of red meat clogging up large intestines, one country does it better than the rest.
