Camping/Cooking in Wisconsin & Beyond
Bring a chair and join us around the campfire in the back of the Girl Scout building as we discuss getting outside, camping and cooking in the woods. We will have a display of tents, gear and cooking meals using stoves, dutch ovens or an open fire. Bring a drink and your own utensils: plate, fork, spoon, to sample omelets, dehydrated meals, cobblers, foil dinners, s'mores, sandwich pies, hot dogs, maybe even make some ice cream.
Bring your ideas of favorite foods for the campground.
Share some of your favorite camping spots.
Do you have any used camping gear you are wishing to donate? Let us know. We are looking at making this available to others who are just starting on their camping experience, possibly having a gear swap/fundraiser in the future.
Residential heat pumps can be a great way to heat your house or water heater.
Jim Crawford shared his experience with heat pumps on his farm at our February meeting.
