Family camping can mean having to cook. There is nothing wrong with that. I love to cook especially outdoors. Sitting by the campfire enjoying a delicious camp-made meal with my family, laughing and talking about the exciting things we did that day can be a highlight moment for us and our kids. I recently have had the honor of testing out MSR Gear’s Wind Burner Stove System along with a few other camp kitchen items. As you may already know, I love MSR Gear and all of their products. They
