Trailer hook-up Trailer leveling Proper trailer loading (under-carraige stowage) Proper communication with your OMEC on just where all the stuff is stowed Proper trailer loading (interior storage) Proper communication with your OMEC on where you put his personal items: Underwear Pants Toothbrush Fancy Kit (to be explained by your OMEC) Logic of food placement Operation of vital trailer components: Toilet (Pee only; if you need to take a dump use a public restroom or someone else's trailer) Refrigerator Stove Oven Heat Air Conditioning Slide-outs Table-to-bed conversion (though the new TB will most likely be sleeping on the floor if he is allowed to sleep in the trailer at all) Other stuff as your OMEC sees fit Cooking (This is a big, big deal) Restaurants are for wimps -- if you want to eat in a restaurant, stay home! Camp cooking does not start with cleaning fish.  We'll get to that later. Camp cooking starts by making a list for the grocery store before you leave home. Your OMEC will give you a live laboratory experience on this function before embarking on your trip.  (All OMECs are certified to teach this lab class.) Grocery shopping is immediately followed by the Interior storage component of the "Proper Trailer Loading" course. Quality camping is not hot dogs on a stick.  (That's for Girl Scouts.) Broad food types: Bacon Hor d'oeuvres Bacon Eggs Bacon Muchacas Bacon Potatoes Bacon Pulled pork Bacon Ribs Bacon Tri-Tip Bacon Gourmet Hamburgers Bacon Soup Bacon Beans Bacon Salad Bacon Pies Bacon Fish Bacon Home-made (camp-made) Ice Cream Bacon Bacon Bacon Bacon Bacon  Cooking/Food Preparation Classes Bacon Not fried Not broiled For God's sake, not microwaved It is smoked on a Traeger Hors D'oeuvres Virtually all hors d'oeuvres contain bacon, thus the bacon course is a prerequisite to the hors d'oeuvres class Learning to use toothpicks Proper serving of these fine morsels to all OMECs Timing of hors d'oeuvre prepartion relative to other meal preparation Salad It's not just green stuff with ranch dressing It is something to be savored The official cold slaw -- how to make it Hot dogs (just give them to some passing Girl Scout -- they aren't good for much else) Potatoes Pay attention!  This is most likely the first opportunity for the TB to learn something about the proper utilization of spices.  (Potatoes are cheap, so if the TB screws them up it won't create the need for a bank loan.) Potatoes as a desalinization tool. Fried Baked Stuffed Boiled Beans Stirring Tasting Use of ham hocks Why the TB is required to sleep outside any night that beans are served Pulled Pork Preparation for smoking the butt (very advanced class) Pulling the pork Tri-Tip Preparation for smoking the tri-tip (very advanced class) Slicing Ribs Preparations for smoking the ribs (very advanced class) Cutting for serving Pies Crust making 101 Crust making 102 Crust making 201 Crust making 301 Filling creation 101 Filling creation 201 Filling creation 301 Pie smoking Sauces There is only one:  Looney Sauce.  That is all you will learn about it. If you read the line above, you have passed this class.  (Congratulations!)
