How about cooking out with a Dutch oven over a fire?

Did you know Dutch ovens and cast iron cookwear went West with pioneer
women, and some of it is still being used? That’s amazing, isn’t it? Especially in this throw-away society we’re living in. If you take care of cast iron cookwear well, it can last 150 years or more!

You can cook just about anything in a Dutch oven, whether it’s meat,
vegetables, or a casserole. A Dutch oven is heavy, so it’s not something you’re likely to lug around while backpacking; but if you take one on a family camping trip, it will do very well over a campfire.

A Dutch oven is an excellent addition to your survival kitchen. If you’re not familiar with Dutch ovens and cast iron cooking, you can read an informative article about some modern day women who use Dutchovens by clicking here.

When you’re ready to get your own Dutch oven, click on the Lehman’s
logo and type Dutch oven in their home page search box. You’ll see several to choose from. You can order Dutch oven cookbooks from Lehman’s, too.

If a Dutch oven is good enough for pioneer women, it’ll surely be good enough in a survival situation when modern conveniences aren’t available.
