Camping in the Wood
(Still under construction!!!still need my hubby the old boy scout to add more)
Planning camping for family with children may not be the same with camping without. The preparation will be different and many other things to consider. It is not about providing comfort like the one they get at home. It is camping in the wood. The point is, 'Discomfort' is mainly chunk of its experience.
Food to the kids need to be sufficient. while teaching them to cook with minimal resources, ample supply is the biggest consideration. It is about having fun with the nature. Naturally, when the campsite is by the river, most of the time they are in the water. The only time they come up from the water, when we know they are hungry and get the 'refill' just enough to get into the water again..Food is served at breakfast, lunch but on demand.
My family love to cook. Cooking in the wood will be like 'main masak masak' and will be fun too. All the food supply are dry and are mostly menu for us will be sardine-based dishes. Imagine: roti sardin, sambal sardin with rice, sambal sardin with lempeng, etc,
Maggi mee will be a luxury treat for the kids. huh!
We'll have tuna -grilled not, will do
Having hot coffee, nescafe or teh tarik will be nice when while in the river or to ease us from shivering after dipping. this time dip the crackers or biskut pulau pinang (ada yg panggil biskut lutut?)
