Food & Fire: Campfire Cooking Essentials

True campfire cooking is a dying art. Most modern camp food is fueled by whatever’s cheapest at the deli. You can do better. In times past, campfire cooking was a vital skill – simple, delicious meals cooked in cast iron or over open coals were a staple of every hunting camp, cattle drive, or logging crew. Even now, few things bring people together like a great camp dinner. While not a “survival skill,” knowing your way around a Dutch oven and being able to put together a world-class meal in the woods is one of the marks of a true outdoorsman. Get ready, and come hungry.
