This book would be great if you a) had never been camping; b)were trying to spend the least possible amount of money on campingequipment; or c) just enjoyed reading about surviving on little or nothing. But for my family (we're mainly car campers, already outfitted with tent, sleeping bags, and Coleman stove) it is nearly useless. I was mainly looking for creative recipes that are easy to fix outdoors, but there are only a few recipes, and about half of them are impractical for us. Lots of info about cooking without a stove, choosing a tent and sleeping bags, etc. OK, but not very useful to me.

This book is super. It has practical and down to earth suggestions for real families, who use the local supermarket for their supplies. Thomas reassures you that you don't have to be a super jock camper or a back packer to enjoy the outdoors in comfort, or with small children.
I especially liked her suggestions for adapting camping tools, supplies and techniques to emergency conditions. It cuts through all the hype and doomsday scenario planning for Y2K with thoughtful and sensible suggestions.
I found her directions for putting together a family emergency kit with specific suggestions for the amount of food, water and sanitary supplies very helpful. In earthquake country we need to be prepared now.
So many of her tips were so simple, but so elegant. The constant hot water tank, the grooming apron and the nifty night time toilet tissue container were worth the price of the book alone. Then add the emergency toilet in a five gallon bucket...and the source phone number for getting a snap on toilet seat, and I was a convinced.
This is a must have book...not just for campers but for all of us that need to be prepared to use what we have around the house to keep ourselves and our families warm, fed and clean when our regular services are non-operable.

"Roughing It Easy", volumes 1 and 2, were originally published in the 70s; this book is a combination of those two books in a "slick" package, but some of the information has been updated very little, if at all, and, in some cases, is still impractical or too complicated for most families. The "completely revised and updated" statement on the book's cover seems to refer to a section on solar cooking (with detailed instructions on constructing a parabolic-shaped solar cooker) and an "updated" recipe for s'mores. Most of the illustrations and several of the cooking/camping techniques are from the original editions of the books, and more than one shows its age - a wooden crate (p. 36 - haven't seen one of these in years); cutting "green sticks" for cooking? (hardly environmentally sound and illegal in all public campgrounds that I know of); aluminum muffin tins for open-fire cooking? (the light-gauge aluminum now available melts too easily for this technique); tent illustrations and other product-content descriptions that are outdated and non-specific (no dome tents? no specifics or name mentions on "synthetics", e.g., Polartec, Quallofill, Supplex, etc.); thread spools on a coat hanger for hot dog, etc. cooking? ( p. 140 In the 70s, wooden spools were available, but they've been plastic for a long time now, and wire coat hangers usually have a coating on them that can be unsafe when in contact with food).
The "new" book also leaves out some of the better recipes that kids like, e.g., "campfire stew", but includes heating a TV dinner! The recipes rely heavily on additive and preservative-laden "convenience foods", and canned foods, and fresh vegetables/fruit are rarely mentioned. And, my favorites, cooking on the car manifold, cooking hamburger on a shovel and hot dogs on a pitchfork!
There IS good information in the book - the old "tin can" stove, fire building, "oven" baking, different cooking techniques, and several other things - but impractical ideas and "equipment-rich" or complicated techniques, e.g., the "vertical spit", pp. 144-145, are too common.
Unfortunately, there are few, if any, books of this type available to the "novice" camping public; the book's continuing popularity confirms this. Perhaps a thorough "update" and revision of the book's material, photographs, and techniques is planned; it would be welcome, in my opinion.

Fun, practical, and full of inventive ideas!
What a great camping resource! It's worth it just for the creative recipes and techniques for cooking in your fireplace. The photos and illustrations are helpful. Lesen Sie weiter...

This was a lifesaver for a non-camper with 5 children
I first read this book many years ago when my family consisted of 5 children between 1 and 10. Having humor to help me out was a godsend. Lesen Sie weiter...

A great guidebook for novice and experienced campers alike.
This little book is filled with information to get novice campers started out on the right foot, and yet has plenty of material to interest experienced campers. Lesen Sie weiter...
