28 Sep Stella Fong: ‘Roughing It’ with Missouri River Outfitters

Missouri River Outfitters (MRO) changed my view of “roughing it.” My memories of instant oatmeal, ramen noodles, and coffee crystals mixed with hot cocoa and mini marshmallows were replaced by a new vision of camp cooking. MRO’s owner Nicolle Fuguere and her team showed how food cooked in the wilderness does not have to be as primitive as roasting a freshly caught trout on a stick or boiling water on a canister stove to rehydrate freeze-dried beans for chili.
