The guys are out enjoying some lovely weather today, so John asked if I wouldn't mind posting today.  Of course, I said I' be glad to.  If you're having nice weather, I hope you can make the most of it.  How about cooking out with a Dutch oven over a fire?

            Did you know Dutch ovens and cast iron cookwear went West with pioneer women, and some of it is still being used?  Now, that's what I call amazing, especially in this throw-away society we're living in.  If you take care of cast iron cookwear right, it can last 150 years or more!

            You can cook just about anything in a Dutch oven, whether it's meat, vegetables, or a casserole.  Now, a Dutch oven is heavy, so it's not something you're likely to lug around going backpacking; but if you take one on a family camping trip, it will do very well over a campfire.

            A Dutch oven would be an excellent addition to your survival kitchen.  If you're not familiar with Dutch ovens and cast iron cooking, you can read an informative article about some ladies who use Dutchovens by clicking here.

            When you're ready to order your own Dutch oven, scroll down this page to the Camping Gear Outlet banner and click on it, then go to their Food Preparation category.  Their Pots and Pans category has other cast iron cookwear you may want to see, too.  I figure if it's good enough for pioneer women, it'll surely be good enough for you and me right now or in a survival situation.
