Camp Cooking Tips and Tricks – Gary Benton
Rating - ***
This
article is from an outdoor survival site that offers many survival tips when in
the wilderness. The article I have chosen to report on explains the different
varieties of cooking in the wilderness and offers some tips on how to make your
trip more enjoyable, depending on how much you pack, types of food, and ways to
cook it.
The article
begins with a scenario in the wilderness. It is raining during a thunderstorm
and it is late in the evening. One could eat chips, or other packed foods, but
nothing quite compares to a full meal cooked over a fire. The article then
launches into the different factors you need to consider when camp cooking;
such as size of wood, size of fire, cooking time, etc. It is important to have
planned what you will cook, and to know how to cook it properly. It is also
important to think preemptively about what you will pack. Unneeded weight is
torture on a trip and can be easily avoided by planning ahead. The article also
offers many different ways to consume your meal as well as methods of cooking
things; such as a skillet, Dutch oven, grill, and uniquely, aluminum foil.
I found
this article a very valuable read, especially since we have a hiking trip
coming up soon. It’s made me consider packing certain foods over others, and to
make sure we plan ahead exactly how
we plan to cook each meal, method we will use to cook it, and how long it will
take to cook. This article offers many tips that I’ll keep in mind when
creating my meal plan for our future hiking trip.
I recommend
reading this article if you have any doubts about what you should pack on our
upcoming trip, and if you wish to read it you may see the citation below.
