Civil War - reanactment

[YJJPWrangler87]

being a reenactor,I try to cook when out on the trail as if I was at a reenactment for the weekend.Infact when we have our camp of instruction weekend,I usually teach the newbies how to cook for themselves.
I love salt cured ham.Might not be good for you but man it will keep without refridgeration and can be eaten days after being cooked.So usually first thing cooked for breakfast is a good amount of ham to eat then and later on down the trail.Use the grease to fry tater slices or an egg or even corn meal.
That ham and some bread will cover lunch unless I'm near a fire and then I can boil a tin cup of rice with dried beef(not jerky).The beef and rice takes a little while to cook tho.
I love cooking a pot of black eye peas for dinner.Make a hog out of myself.Sometimes I might string some sliced beef on a ramrod and let it slow cook near a fire.Semi-dried sausage is good anytime of day or night.
Except for the sliced beef,all this stuff can be carried without refridgeration and carried/stored easily.
The only modern thing I miss when out in the field is a good cold drink.Pepsi,coke,mt.dew,it doesn't matter.Water does get a little old after a while.
