Mocha1545 Report post Posted August 10, 2016 Ive never messed with the Dutch ovens. Seem pretty cool maybe this next year ill grab us a set. We got a nice set of cast iron skillets for Christmas I cant wait to use I really wanto get a Wok too. Right now I'm just running a single tote for all the stuff and the grill aside. But I'm going to try and prep up another tote for the Elk hunt Have 16 days off so I'm gunna be cooking a lot of good grub. Dutch Ovens and cast iron are the way to go, IMO! I've got some 'fancy' Calphalon (both traditional and stainless) for the home kitchen, but I have taken to using the cast iron more and more at home, not just while camping! You likely already know this, but if you are a little new, be SURE to follow the standard instructions/rules for handling of all of your cast iron. NO DISH SOAP EVER!! Break it in right and keep it 'seasoned' well, and you will be loving it!! S. My cast iron skillet and cast iron pot were my Grandfather's. About 100 years old and still going strong! 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
muledeerarea33? Report post Posted August 10, 2016 most of my set is the same mocha. 100 years of seasoning is the best non stick coating there is!! 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Whitesheep Report post Posted August 17, 2016 Wow, I want to camp with you guys who run multiple dutch ovens and skillets. We go dutch when leisure camping, but rarely have time to run one when hunting. I have on occasion when we have taken the afternoon off to goof off and eat well, but normally it is fast and easy prep so we can focus on hunting and hydration. We do have a "camp b*tch" lined up for this year's deer hunt since he can't walk far, but I don't know if he can run a dutch or not. I hope he can at least keep the beer cold and not drink it all himself. My "bug out bin" has everything needed for a camp kitchen except the stove, fuel and food. (There is a back packing lantern and stove with fuel if it is really needed.) All the stuff fits in one Rubber Maid tote and has held up to snow and rain, but not fire (don't ask). I go through it once a year and replace spices, fire starters, etc that go bad or get used up. The best way to make one is get a good container and during a camp just place everything you use in the bin after your done with it. If you overflow, pick out what you really don't need (boom box, sat phone, portable toilet, shower, etc) and stick with what will keep you alive. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
