By Bob Waze


Know what camp fire cooking-ware to take along on your next camping trip? If you'll be the cook, you have a big responsibility and planning is needed to make your job as easy as practical. One way to make your job easier is by making sure you bring along the right cooking-ware. If you plan to use you're camp fire to cook with; often, some of your cooking-ware will be made from cast iron. Those things would include items such as skillets and pots. They're not light. Other things you might want to take along are a griddle, a Dutch oven and common tools or utensils used for cooking meals. Obviously, having to carry all these things to your campsite means you will need to walk around with a lot of weight. But taking the time to think and plan ahead will make this task easier and less complicated. Here are a few tips that could help lighten your cooking load.

It can be a lot of work just getting your supplies to the campsite and getting set up. Setting up a camp kitchen to cook your favorite meals for you and your fellow campers can be fun and here's where your abilities will shine. Be certain to share the load if you can. Particularly cleaning up. Get those kids and other friends and family to help clean dishes and put the food away. This can be a fun activity if everybody works together. A little more about putting food away; ensure that food isn't left out for the animals to get at. If you are in bear country, this becomes even more important. Put the garbage in proper containers. They are often provided at campsites. Hauling the campfire cooking-ware to and from the camp site is a whole other story since most individuals don't enjoy heavy work, but share that job too if you can.

When doing the planning for your trip, think about the essentials first. What things do you definitely need? Decide what meals you'll be preparing so you will know what to bring along. There is no point in taking along things you will not need. This will lessen the load and take less space in the car or van.

The food store is the easiest place to go shopping for your food items. Shop before leaving home because food tends to be more expensive at the smaller stores you will find on the road or near the campsite. There are many of stores that will carry cookware and the other items you'll need for your camping. Trip. If you can plan far enough ahead, shop on the web. The prices and selection can be better online. But if you do, only deal with companies that provide a refund or exchange policy in the event of shipping problems.

Happy camping and hiking!
