Cooking without power

Posted by Filed Under Wood Camping Stove with No Comments

Once you have filled in all the foods you will need after the end of the world as we know it. You have wheat flour, dried foods, canned food, all kinds of food. But if the worst case scenario, you still have power? There may be power in some areas, but always assume that there will not be where you are. And if not, how are you going to Cook all that food?

In this modern age of TV dinners, frozen pizza, Hamburger Helper and canned soups, many people never learned to cook a meal the old-fashioned way. The majority of city residents is dependent on electric stoves, microwaves and toasters. But what to do if the power goes out for an extended period? There are several options:

Grill. This is the first and most obvious option. Hopefully you’ve stocked in abundance of coal and/or propane. But if you don’t have a grill or charcoal and propane is. ..
Camping stove. Acquire one of these must be a priority. Coleman makes a great stove 2 burner that you can find on amazon.com. These, too, should always be used outdoors. Verify that you have a lot of Coleman fuel!
Fireplace. Try roasting hot dogs and other solid foods on sticks in your fireplace. You can also wrap potatoes and other leaf vegetables and leave them in the fireplace for cooking.
Campfire. Who doesn’t like to cook over a campfire? But you don’t want to just roast hot dogs and marshmallows. With a good Grill camp you will be able to cook just about anything.
Dutch oven. This is a cast iron pot over a fire. It is ideal for making soups, stews and hot drinks. A 4-quart Dutch oven is less than $ 50. To hang it on the fire, you will need a fireplace crane or a tripod of campfire.
Sternoclavicular joint stove. These are good for warm beverages, canned foods, such as Chili, Spaghettios and soup. The best thing about them is that they are portable, weighing less than a pound. I would like to get a good kit of Sternoclavicular joint stove and some extra canned heat. Tip: try putting his Sternoclavicular joint stove in a fire pit with some handfuls of charcoal. This way you can grill while using very little charcoal.
Kerosene heater. These are generally used for heating rooms, but are also a great way to boil beans, pasta and other foods or making hot drinks. If the top is simple, just set a pot of water on top. A kerosene heater good can cost over $ 100, but it is a great thing to add to your survival material, especially if you live in a cold climate.

Some warnings:

Grills should always be used outdoors and a safe distance from your home or shelter. Carbon monoxide can be deadly and some stray sparks is enough to start a fire. Same applies for Camping stoves.
If you use a fireplace, make sure that the combustion is open and clear. Do not use treated wood for a fire to cook.
Never use gasoline to get a fire going.
Make sure fires are controlled with metals or stones around them.
Never leave a fire (not even a candle) without an adult to keep an eye on it.

Happy baking!

What is nicer than bringing the whole family and spend quality time for a few days outdoors in a camp in the Parque Estadual, Missouri, for example. There is no better way to have this kind of opportunity to connect with mother nature to enjoy the landscape, flowers and wild animals.

Things I Cannot Do Without On A Camping Trip

Posted by Filed Under Wood Camping Stove with No Comments

Some of my favorite places to camp in Alaska are Denali National Park, the White Mountain Recreational area, and along the Denali highway. I just become all kinds of excited when preparing for a hiking and camping trip. I pore through my backcountry camping recipes for new ideas and camping gear is strewn across the floor to assist in the decision-making process of what goes this time and what doesn’t.

Certain items, however, simply must be packed. The tent and sleeping bag are a must. The mosquitoes in Alaska have a very bad reputation for picking people up and carrying them off in their sleep and the weather here can change in minutes. Definitely not a place to sleep out in the open sans cover. Camera and binoculars also must be packed. One never wants to pass up a chance to see the multitude of wildlife that is often at a distance (and many times, preferably at a distance) such as bear, caribou, sheep, wolves, moose and the occasional lynx. There are amazing photo opportunities everywhere you look, from the tundra under your feet to the birds overhead. In fact, if photography is a passion, I can think of no better place to live than Alaska.

Unless you are completely self-sufficient and know how to live off the land, I highly suggest bringing food and some sort of water purification system with you. Into The Wild was a great story and movie, but I don’t suggest one follow in that young man’s footsteps – look how he ended up. There are backcountry cookbooks with wonderfully tasty recipes that you can prepare ahead of time and pack for your trip as well as some yummy freeze-dried meals stocked by various camping outlets. Long gone are the days that freeze-dried meant tasteless, these prepared meals are very good and usually only require hot water to prepare. Your water purification system can consist of filters, iodine tablets, or simply boiling your water. I don’t suggest boiling water though, it takes time and precious fuel. Do not ever assume rivers and ponds are safe to drink from without taking precautions.

When it comes to hot water and cooking without worrying about finding wood to start a fire with, my absolute favorite piece of equipment to carry is my little cooker. It essentially is a heat safe, insulated mug with an igniter and little container of white gas made specifically for it. Attach the igniter to the gas container, sit the mug on top of the setup and click the igniter. A knob on the side of the igniter allows you to control the flame. Boil the water, turn off the igniter, add your dried food, mix and there is dinner. You can eat and drink right out of the cup. When finished, simply boil some water again, wash and dry your cup, and put away. It takes away the need for a bulky Coleman stove or the little setups requiring separate bottles of fuel and separate eating containers.

Now, suppose it is a cold, drizzly day, or it is evening and you are comfortably ensconced in your tent with absolutely no desire whatsoever to go outside. Unfortunately you have to go to the bathroom. Now what? Brave the cold and dark? Who wants to do that? Portable urinals to the rescue! This is another handy-dandy item that I absolutely must pack when going camping. It is disposable and turns urine into gel. The package has no odor, does not leak, and is completely self-contained. I consider it an essential when I camp.

So, my suggested essentials are a tent, sleeping bag, camera, binoculars, food, water purification system, compact cook stove and disposable urinals. Take these and have a totally marvelous camping trip. Happy Trails!
