Put burning charcoal around it inside the trash can then set the can upside down over it put burning charcoal around the outside and bake. Refresh the charcoal as needed. Takes several hours depending on the outdoor temperature. Our Troop has done it this way for many years and will again this coming weekend." posted to 5 Recipes For a Very Dutch Oven Campsgiving.

Eagle Scout Eric Fiala Talks About His Epic Bike Ride From Alaska to Argentina

By Brad Riddell

The distance from Prudhoe Bay, Alaska, to Ushuaia, Argentina, covers more than 20,000 miles. Eagle Scout Eric Fiala biked every last one of them in 19 months and 13 days, all in the name of adventure and autism awareness. During the journey, he was hit by a car, mugged and thrown from his bike into a tree. But Eric never stopped peddling, not until he reached the end of his ride Feb. 2, 2009.

Boys’ Life spoke to Eric about his wild ride. Read about it in the May 2010 issue of BL, and listen to exclusive excerpts by clicking on the audio players below:
