Emergency Survival Cooking Supplies and Techniques Hello, today
we’re going
to talk about making a campfire and taking down a campfire
and campfire safety. So a
campfire not only can provide a nice source of warmth in
the evening but it can also be
a way to do basic cooking or simple cooking like hot dogs,
hamburgers, fish, steak, anything like one of those things.
To do basic cooking
over a campfire you need either a grate over the fire which you could support
with the rocks on the outside of the fire pit or they also make a nice grate
that’s a hand held grate that allows you to put hamburgers or hot dogs or steak
or fish or something inside it and hold it or support it over the fire and then
it has sort of two pieces and it’s sort of a vise like grate and then you can
turn it over from side to side and it’s a good way to cook over a fire. Another
cool basic cooking technique is to take and wrap either a hot dog and a bun in
tin foil and actually put it inside the coals, once you have the fire burning
down and you have some nice white hot, red hot coals in the bottom, you can put
that inside the coals, leave it for about 10 or 15 minutes and it should cook nicely
and evenly. Here are some more basic cooking ideas you can also do that with
vegetables, you can do that with a chicken, you can cook a chicken by taking a
whole chicken stuffing it with vegetables and spices, putting tin foil around
that, then cooking it inside the coals and you can leave that for several hours
and that’ll come up with a nice really juicy, really tender chicken meal with
vegetables as well. So there’s lots of different ways to do basic cooking over
a campfire. The one thing that’s not great to do over a simple cooking campfire
usually is to boil water, a basic cooking campfire is not the hottest fire you
can get, a basic cooking stove is often much better for that. So if you have a
basic cooking stove that may be a better way to boil water or to prepare pasta
or things like that.
