Clay Oven
You can make a camp oven in a clay stream bank.
Hammer a sharp pole, about as thick as your forearm, straight down into the bank about 3 feet back from the edge. Then, a foot or so down the side of the bank, scoop out the size oven you want. The entrance should be narrower than the inside. Dig as far back as the pole, then pull the pole out to form a chimney. Give the interior a hard coating by smoothing and resmoothing it with wet hands. Kindle a small fire within to harden this lining.
When you're ready to bake, pre-heat the oven with a fire, then scrape out the coals and ashes. Lay food inside on stones or leaves. Seal the chimney and front opening. The meal will cook without further attention.
