Outdoor Tips + Advice: How to Cook the Most Delicious, Cheesy Campsite Trout of Your Life

Oh, the things you learn about yourself when you spend 35 days on a NOLS course in the wilderness with a backpack and a fly rod—and without your family.

Such as, for example, how you were so looking forward to 35 nights of uninterrupted sleep and lazy mornings, only to realize that having a kid has made you a light sleeper and a morning person. 

Or, for example, how excited you are to be “living off the land,” catching and eating 14-inch golden trout every day, only to realize that you’re about as good with a fly rod as you are with knitting needles, or any other activity requiring dexterity and patience. That is, you suck at fishing.

And by “you,” I’m not talking about you, dear reader. I’m most definitely talking about me.

So let’s talk about that trout. Although I couldn’t catch one for the life of me, I’d like to think I could cook one up to delectable perfection with this easy backcountry recipe for Fresh Trout WIZNUT, courtesy of NOLS Instructor John Whisnant). “The WIZNUT appeared in 1966 as a miracle response to our desperate pleas for cheesy crunch,” reflects John. Over the years, the WIZNUT has taken many forms, but the common denominator in any recipe is a layer of fried cheese at the bottom of the pan.

Ingredients:

2 cups cooked brown rice
1 cup mixed veggies (rehydrated)
½ cup reconstituted potato flakes (rehydrated)
¼ cup thunder flakes (onion flakes, rehydrated)
¼ cup powdered milk
¼ cup butter
1 lb. cheddar cheese, sliced thin
2 Trout—10-12” each, preferably swimming 20 minutes before cooking (go with a non-native species if you can!)

Directions:

1. Grease fry pan with a thin layer of butter. (We recommend the Banks Fry Bake, which we have used for decades.)

2. Fry the trout in the pan with spice until the meat comes off the bones.

3. Collect small dead twigs—enough to sustain a small twiggy fire on top of the pan lid for at least 30 minutes.

4. Remove fish from pan and de-bone (leave the little bits of trout and whatever butter is remaining in the pan).

5. Mix all ingredients except trout and cheese in a separate pot.

6. Line the bottom and sides of the pan with a layer of cheese.

7. Add half the rice mix in a layer over the cheese.

8. Add the trout in a layer over the rice mix.

9. Add the remaining rice mix over the trout.

10. Finish with the remaining cheese on top.

11. Seal tight with fry pan lid.

12. Set stove on a low simmer (you can do that with an MSR Whisperlite stove by slightly depressurizing the fuel can). Construct a small twiggy fire on top of the pan lid. Rotate the pan and keep the twiggy fire burning for half hour to an hour until the WIZNUT is golden brown and bubbling.

[Cheap UGGs]

A nearly century-old hunting Cheap UGGs is catching on with a younger generation that sees the utilitarian footwear as hip.L.L Bean's familiar duck UGG Bailey Button with leather uppers and rubber soles - designed for slogging through mud and snow - has become something of a statement owing to its newfound popularity on campuses, UGG Amberlee the company said. Another reason is new styles, UGG Tularosa including something Leon Leonwood Bean surely never envisioned in 1912: bright blue and pink leather, new for spring.Part of the success of the UGG Kensington is its versatility, in barnyards or in cities, in snow or rain.Defying a trend toward offshore production,UGG Bailey Button Triplet the outdoors retailer is adding 125 full-time employees to its Maine manufacturing operation to keep pace with orders.
The well-known UGG Classic Short Sparkles appears to be benefiting from a retro trend, whether it's penny loafers or Gap's 1969 series blue jeans, said Candace Corlett, UGG Caspia president of WSL Strategic Retail in New York.Another factor that could be helping Bean: There's been little that's new and exciting in footwear in recent years beyond UGG Montclair boots and Crocs, said Alexander Geyman, editor of Focus on Fashion Retail. Trendy UGG Classic Cardy boots and the Timberland brand outstrip Bean's in sales, he said.
The duck UGG Classic Short carry the "Made in the USA" label, something that's hard to find these days in footwear. Nationwide, the number of shoe-manufacturing jobs dropped from more than 200,000 in the 1970s to 12,500 this year, UGG Fox Fur according to the U.S. Labor Department. In Maine, shoe-manufacturing jobs peaked at more than 25,000 in the 1960s, UGG Delaine and last year there were 1,300 jobs, according to the Maine Department of LaborWell-known Maine brands like G.H. Bass, Cole Haan, UGG Knightsbridge Sebago and Dexter are now made abroad. But L.L. Bean has resisted the notion of making its Bean UGG Plumdale.As the story goes, L.L. Bean created the hunting UGG Classic Tall for himself after his feet got wet and cold on a hunting trip, and it was not an instant success. Ninety of the first 100 pairs sold in 1912 were returned after the leather separated; Bean had a satisfaction guarantee, UGG Annabelle so he returned customers' money.These days, UGG Retro Cargo the original L.L. Bean Hunting Shoe is available unlined or with various linings, UGG Finnegan including Gore-Tex, Thinsulate and shearling. There are plenty of other variations, including quilted, canvas and plaid, UGG Sheepskin Cuff and even bright blue and pink leather. There are low-cut versions as well.All of them are still made by hand. The rubber soles are made by L.L. Bean workers in Lewiston, UGG Mayfaire and they're sewn to the leather uppers at an L.L. Bean plant in Brunswick.All told, there are 320 workers at L.L. Bean's factory in Brunswick, making UGG Highkoo, dog beds, canvas totes and other products.Each Gore-Tex liner is inflated and dunked in a tank to make sure it's watertight before being dried and put in the UGG Roslynn.

In my perceptions living in wildness for 35 days and nights on a NOLS course the best part is lazy mornings when you do not need to rush for work. Just feel easy and think you have a lot of time this day with little tasks.
Lives in cities like New york of workaholics. This kind of trip makes you feel free to think for a while about yourself.
