Dutch Oven Cooking For Backpacking






After a long day outdoors there's nothing like a good hot meal to replenish and refuel the body, mind, and spirit. And one of the best ways to prepare a great meal while camping is over the fire using a dutch oven. Of course it's laughable to imagine us hikers and backpackers hauling a cast iron monstrosity over the many miles of trail we generally travel. I wanted to share with you in this video my method for dutch oven cooking which utilizes the lightweight cook pots that most of us already carry as part of our backpacking gear. You can prepare virtually any meal that you would cook using a standard dutch oven and the list of recipes range from simple desserts to substantial meals. In this video I use a simple muffin recipe as an example, but using these same techniques I've baked everything from cornbread with chili to pepperoni pizza (mmmm). Hope you pick something up here that is useful, and I'd love to hear some of the things that you do on your own trips. As always, thanks for watching!









So we set ourselves a personal challenge of staying on Dartmoor with just 10 items. Food/Drink & Clothes were 'free' they didn't count as items, however everything else did! Even your rucksack was 1 item, toilet roll another! - Blog Post about the Trip: www.naturalbushcraft.co.uk
