Survivalist Gear: Open Fire Cooking Kits

If you read our post about cooking, then you know the different types of mess-kits. However, there are several things you can use to cook over an open fire that will bring some comforts of home. If you don't want to cook everything in a pot or pan, and have a little bit of extra room to carry things, you can get a camping grill to grill your food with. Another fun way of cooking, which produces absolutely fantastic results, is using a fire tripod. You can attach pots or grills to these. Attaching a grill will make some of the best open fire cooking you can get. It also keeps your pots out of the fire and allows you to more directly control the amount of heat your food recieves.

Just because you're in a survivalist situation doesn't mean you can't enjoy some good cooking. Of course, having these things is assuming you're prepared. And not everyone may be. I'd like to stress the importance of having a simple, lightweight mess kit that can fit into a pouch on a bag, or something that is generally easy to carry and use. If you already have that, it cant hurt to over prepare and enjoy some comforts you may not have otherwise.

Cooking is an art, and open fire cooking is certainly different than cooking on a stove or in your kitchen. If the power goes out or another situation where preparing food becomes more difficult, its a good idea to know what to do if the situation comes up where you have to cook outside, separate from your typical grill. I'd suggest going out and trying your hand at cooking over an open fire. You'd be surprised at the results and you may learn something new.

In case of zombie apocalypse, a breakout of a devastating virus, or more likely, a political, social, or natural disaster, its good to be prepared and know what you're doing.
