Thanks for the vids...

The vinegar touch sounds very interesting, though probably not super simple for on the trail. And where do you find powdered buttermilk?

I haven't been to the supermarket lately. Which is why my experiments continue in making Bisquick biscuits without milk. (Am even developing slight taste for them.)

What does Bisquick use as shortening or in lieu of shortening?

The vids on bannock in a pan aren't exactly what I have in mind but will now consider this also. Initially am interested in biscuits, a la my high school days, and also ash cake.

Not sure how to make this a controversy.....I'll try....How about: People from Alaska, or hell, people in the west, don't really know from campfire baking, because they poison themselves with the lousy, stinking fire wood they've got?

It seems a little off topic. Will it do? I guess hell's a bad word.
