By Bob Waze


Know what camp fire cooking-ware to take along on your next camping outing? If you'll be the cook, you have a big responsibility and planning is needed to make your job as easy as practical. A method 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. These items would include items such as skillets and pots. They're not light. Other things you may 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'll have to walk around with rather a lot of weight. However , taking the time to think and plan ahead will make this task simpler and easier. Here are a few tips to help lighten your cooking load.

It could be a lot of work just getting your supplies to the campsite and getting set up. Setting up a camp kitchen to cook your favourite meals for you and your fellow campers can be fun and here is where your talents will shine. Be sure to share the load if you can. Especially cleaning up. Get those youngsters and other family and friends to help clean dishes and put the food away. This is a fun activity if everyone works together. A bit more about putting food away; make sure that food is never left out for the animals to get at. If you're in bear country, this becomes even more significant. Put the garbage in correct containers. They're usually provided at campsites. Hauling the camp fire cookware to and from the camp site is an entire other story since most people don't like heavy labor, 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 grocery store is the easiest place to buy your food stuffs. Shop before leaving home because food is more expensive at the smaller stores you'll find on the road or close to the campsite. There are lots of stores which will carry cookware and the other items you will need for your camping. Trip. If you can plan far enough in advance, shop online. The costs and selection can be better on the Internet. But if you do, only deal with firms that offer a refund or exchange policy in case of shipping issues.

Happy camping and hiking!
