PeterB Posted June 12, 2012 Share Posted June 12, 2012 Event Date: June 21 6:30 (Single Day Event)This workshop will cover the basics of kayak camping: trip planning and selection, gear to bring (ranging from essential to recommended to optional), loading your boat, cooking equipment and camping recipes.This years workshop will be special as it will include a slide show travelogue by Kate Hartland, featuring some favorite campsites and locations. Kates photos and trip reports have been an NSPN favorite over the past few years.We will have a loaded boat to demonstrate packing and unpacking, we'll talk about camp kitchen and recipes, and maybe even cook up a morsel or two. This will be an especially worthwhile evening for those planning to do some kayak camping for the first time. It will also be great for people with camping experience, even hard core veterans, as part of the fun is is when people share their personal ideas, recipes, anecdotes etc.One of the fun things about this workshop is Show & Tell. If you have a favorite piece of camping gear or a personal secret or recipe, bring it along!REI meeting room,(in the back of the store) Reading, MA Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kate Posted June 22, 2012 Share Posted June 22, 2012 Thanks, Peter, for taking on the near-impossible task of organizing this workshop (not to mention bringing your boat and all the camping gear to go in it). I definitely learned from it, and I really enjoyed meeting the other folks. We were having such a good time that REI finally had to kick us out so they could close.Warren, awesome recipes!Kate Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PeterB Posted June 22, 2012 Author Share Posted June 22, 2012 eggplant spread: cook a small eggplant for 40 minutes or less:scoop it out of skin, mash it up (its already pretty mashd and gooey then. add minced/chopped garlic, some tomato base (pureed, crushed/ diced tomatoes ) a tiny bit of olive oil. etc. spices like salt, pepper, dice or puree or otherwise mash up a small bell pepper, too, if you like.
