She always managed in a practical manner what I considered a problem: Which clothes and how much food supplies do we need for our children? I wouldn’t have found the right answers to such questions. But Petra also scrutinized my plans. Before getting into planning details she had to be convinced that we do not expect too much of our children. Even after a hard day in the canoe on a river or a hike with the backpack she is able to sort things out in the crowded and somewhat chaotic camp – a camp that has to be set up and broken almost every day. And her „outdoor-dish“ keeps a good mood within the group or brings it back. The Bannocks she cooks are so delicious that Indians, Inuit and tourists between Alaska and Patagonia praise them.
