20. ### Step-by-Step Guide:
22. 1. **Prepare Your Camping Area**:
23. - Ensure your campsite is clear of debris and that you have a safe area to set up your equipment.
24. - Place your camp stove in a well-ventilated area away from any tents.
26. 2. **Cook the Pasta**:
27. - Bring a large pot of water to a boil over high heat on your camping stove.
28. - Add 1 tbsp olive oil and salt to the boiling water, then add the pasta.
29. - Cook according to package instructions until al dente. Typically, this takes around 8-10 minutes.
31. 3. **Prepare the Clam Sauce**:
32. - While the pasta is cooking, heat the remaining 1 tbsp of olive oil in a large skillet or saucepan over medium heat.
33. - Add minced garlic and chopped onion to the pan. Sauté for about 2-3 minutes until fragrant and slightly softened.
35. 4. **Add Clams**:
36. - Pour clam juice into the skillet with the vegetables. If using fresh clams, add them now; if using canned clams, drain them first.
