82 BOY SCOUTS OF AMERICA There is an old adage : Hasty cooking is tasty cooking. Fried meat is dried meat. Boiled meat is spoiled nieat. Roast meat is best meat. This reflects perhaps the castle kitchen rather than the camp, but it has its measure of truth, and the reason why roast meat Camp-roaster is not more popular is because it takes so much time and trouble to make it a success. During my Barren Ground trip I hit on a remarkably suc- cessful roaster that, so far as I know, was never tried before. The usual pot-stick is set in the ground (if no tree be near), and the roast hung by a wire and a cord; where they meet is a straight or flat piece of wood, or bark, set in a loop of the wire.
