Chris takes us deep into his cooking gear pile, sharing real-world insights on cookware that works in primitive camping—from the heavy hitters like cast iron Dutch ovens to lightweight titanium pots. He covers a wide range of gear including coffee percolators, salvaged aluminum pots, antique Coleman cook sets, and even modular bushcraft kits that double as mess kits or survival storage. If you’ve ever wondered what to bring for backwoods cooking—or why some gear stays and others get left behind—this episode lays it all out with practical, time-tested experience.
What You’ll Learn:
Pros and cons of stainless steel, titanium, aluminum, and cast iron
Why a coffee percolator might just be your favorite pot
The evolution of Chris’s favorite cooking pot (spoiler: it’s cooked armadillo)
How to repurpose antique gear for modern bushcraft
Setting up for camp cooking without carrying the kitchen sink
