We went camping last weekend, mostly just puttered up the trail to a good spot and stayed for a couple days and relaxed. Broke in my newest Dutch Oven properly.

Outstanding! Have a great camp out!
No secret whatsoever. I just browned a pound of country sausage in the DO, added some cayenne. When it was cooked and without removing the sausage from the rendered fat, I sprinkled in some flour, maybe two tablespoons give or take and made sure it browned into a roux. You can add a few tablespoons of butter if the sausage is really lean. I typically take shelf stable milk when camping, although evaporated or powdered milk works just as well. Mixed the milk in, eyeballed it about midway up the pot and tossed in a pinch or two of salt and pepper. The biscuits were a little more involved. They are sourdough. I premix dry ingredients prior to a trip, then cut in lard. (You can use butter, I like using lard because it doesn’t need refrigerated, and stays soft even on a cold morning unlike butter. Heck, I’ve even made them with bacon drippings.) Add in milk and sourdough starter, mix and cut out. Laid them atop the sausage gravy. I pulled the coals away from directly underneath of the oven to just around the edge. On the lid I went somewhat light with coals until the biscuits had about doubled, then heavier to finish cooking and to brown the tops. I’ve made this with Bisquick and canned biscuits also.Biscuits and gravy, if it's not a secret recipe please share. I have to make that next time I get out.
Looks like Big Pines.
Hells ya that's my favorite area to camp! I went hunting a few times up there and found a great jeep campsite off Natty forest land. Man I got to get over there.We went camping last weekend, mostly just puttered up the trail to a good spot and stayed for a couple days and relaxed.
