just got back from our first ever camping trip without more seasoned campers. had a blast! because we were only going to be there one night, we didn't take the air mattress, but we were so tired, it didn't matter. we slept like logs!
another first, was cooking over an open fire. that was actually fun. i thought i would need to wait until the fire died down, and i had coals. but it turns out, that it's very similar to cooking on a gas stove. you need the actual flame to do much. as i was cooking the bacon, our friends, who we were with, informed me that you could put the bacon in tin foil, and cook it right over the fire, or in the coals. since i was halfway done with it, we didn't do it, but we did try the sausage that way. it worked really well.
i did take stuff for pancakes, but they didn't work real well. i had put everything in a ziploc bag, and was going to mash everything together, like you do for amish friendship bread. great idea, my method was slightly flawed though. i tried to put 3 cups of mix, the eggs, oil, and water in a quart bag. a quart only holds 4 cups. there was no room to moosh it and get the lumps out.
however, we did have fabulous eggs, and bacon and sausage!
i think i could do it again sometime!

I think (emphasis on think, since you saw the extent of my outdoor cooking skills) that you burn down to coals for cooking when you're doing something similar to baking, and leave the flame when you're frying. Maybe? lol
hey, i like your pancake idea! I'll have to try that when we (hopefully) go camping this fall, albeit in a larger bag! ;) Thanks for making the mistake for me! :D
