From KCRW, I'm Evan Klineen and you're listening to Good Foods first and maybe last camping episode.

You know, I think what most people need to know about camping is that you're

going to get a lot of BS advice from people who style themselves as experts.

I was camping on one of these designated campsites where you're allowed to set up your tent and kind of in a cold a sack of campers.

And at night you have a cluster of neighbors. There's this one neighbor, he didn't have any tent or whatever.

He slept in like a hammock that zipped up into a little cocoon.

We felt so badly for him because I was like does he just not have provisions and so

one night when I had extra food I walked over because I'm a good neighbor and I was

like hey would you like and would you like this meal and it was like, hey, would you like this meal?

And it was like a really sumptuous meal of like pasta

and green beans and bacon and prosciutto and things like that.

And he was like, oh, no thanks.

And he opened up his tiny little cooler.

It was full of peanut butter and jelly sandwiches.

A grown man for days, this is what he ate.

These are the outdoor people who are trying to give you advice.

I like to think of myself as a rugged individual.

I can cook dinner for 50 over 1 propane burner. I drive a pickup truck. I've been known to eat apple cores even when I don't have to but camping let's just say I haven't made it a priority. But a

few weeks ago, few weeks ago, the Good Food team decided to produce a camping show.

And well, how else could we in good faith

suggest to you, dear that camping is a rational way

to spend your hard-earned weekend than if we did it ourselves?
