Cooking or Survival skills?

I have to choose activities for camp and I can’t decide. I have always wanted to learn to cook, and my mom is an amazing cook (amateur), but learning from her I feel too much pressure. However, the survival skills class sounds really fun. You learn to use trail markers, camouflage, practice building fires with just one match, and learn about edible plants. What should I choose? (just in your opinion)

PRESERVING IS BACK, AND IT’S BETTER THAN EVER. Flavors are brighter, batch sizes are more flexible, and modern methods make the process safer and easier. Eating locally is on everybodys mind, and nothing is more local than Heirloom Salsa made from vine-fresh tomatoes or a quick batch of Ice-Box Berry Jam saved from the seasons last berries. Even beginners who never made peach jam or dill pickles in their grandmothers kitchens are eager to pick up preserving skills as a way to save money, extend the local harvest, and control the quality of preserved ingredients.

The step-by-step instructions in Put ‘em Up will have the most timid beginners filling their pantries and freezers with the preserved goodness of summer in no time. An extensive Techniques section includes complete how-to for every kind of preserving: refrigerating and freezing, air- and oven-drying, cold- and hot-pack canning, and pickling. And with recipe yields as small as a few pints or as large as several gallons, readers can easily choose recipes that work for the amount of produce and time at hand.

Real food advocate Sherri Brooks Vinton offers recipes with exciting flavor combinations to please contemporary palates and put preserved fruits and vegetables on dinner-party menus everywhere. Pickled Asparagus and Wasabi Beans are delicious additions to holiday relish trays; Sweet Pepper Marmalade perks up cool-weather roasts; and Berry Bourbon is an unexpected base for a warming cocktail.

The best versions of tried-and-true favorites are all here too. Bushels of fresh-picked apples are easily turned into applesauce, dried fruit rings, jelly, butter, or even brandy. Falling-off-the-vine tomatoes can be frozen whole, oven dried, canned, or made into a tangy marinara. Options for pickling cucumbers range from Bread and Butter Chips and Dill Spears to Asian Ice-Box Pickles. Something delicious for every pantry!

eating a christmas tree – health reaction?

My brother in law eat some pines from a douglas fir as he is a survivalist. He believes it was safe to eat and enjoyed the taste. He is a good cook by the way. His reation to this was like drinking 30 cups of coffee he states. Was it the fir it self? My guess it was the natural sap and his was that the fir was sprayed with chemicals. The hospital gave him atimal (spelling wrong I’m sure) but he was weirded out for 24 hours. So I am asking is it safe to eat pine needle in the wild? There are no safty warnings on christmas trees.
