There are many options like a campfire, a charcoal grill, outdoor propane grill. However, I have been eating a variety of food that requires a butane stove. In Nepal, when I was up in elevation at base camp, we used butane stoves to cook soups and hot pots.
If you cast a line with a hook and there is no bait, chances are you will not catch a fish. So how do you find bait?
Fish is a nutrient rich food and protein source. You do need to cook it well, especially if you catch it from a questionable water source as it may have viruses, bacteria, worms, and parasites. Catching fish is a sustainable way to survive. Should you know at least one method to catch fish? Absolutely!
I am sure many survivalists have watched the show “Naked and Afraid”. They burn a lot of calories (energy out) but consume minimal calories (energy in) during their assigned time to enter and finish the challenge in harsh and unpredictable conditions. Caloric balance is critical for survival, but they tend to do some tasks that are not beneficial for their success.
I don’t know about you, but whatever it takes to lower my pack weight so I can carry a lighter load but not compromise what I bring to an adventure or survival situation is critical for me. Whenever possible, I bring carbon fiber, aluminum, or titanium for as much of my gear. There are many brands out there that make titanium based cookware, cups and water bottles, but my favorite one has to be from Silver Ant.
I have lived on a boat, overloading (before the term got popular), and have gone car camping, glamping, and backpacking in many places around the globe. When you have the luxuries of carrying a ton of stuff to prepare and cook food, it feels like home to me. However, if space and weight is a concern (carrying a kitchen full of stuff is not an option in a survival situation), I have a short list of items I carry or make on my own.
Now that you have a small survival community in place with the essentials of fire, water, shelter and food, what are some tasks that need to be done daily in order to continue to survive? Here is a short list.
This is a great question, and I’ll go over the list below. But this question really deserves to ask the question of the type of camping you are going to do. If you are camping out of a car, bring all the creature comforts. If you are doing a hike through, you may want to minimize what you bring to make the hike a bit easier.
I have eaten all sorts of insects for food. Grasshoppers happens to be one of them. One thing about grasshoppers is they should never be consumed raw. They have parasites that can wreak havoc on your intestinal system.
It has to be jerky or biltong. Very portable, high protein content, of course I will supplement that with carbs and fiber. But I like my jerky, beans, rice, and dried apples. Very portable food and it’s great for adventuring or camping as well. I also like the camping food where you add boiling water,…
