OT: An Egghead Goes Camping

I picked up this the other day for our overlanding excursions.  

I love camping. I have done it my entire life. I grew up in a National Forest, and actually got to work with forest rangers, learning much along the way.

A cast iron dutch oven with a reversible lid and a cast iron skillet are two items we always take. I learned to cook over camp fires, and the meals have been wonderful. Chili on a campfire is hard to beat.

Now, I take our minimax with us. It is worth lugging the 70 pound BGE. Steaks, chops ribs...whatever, are done nicely with the egg. But as mentioned previously, I also use the fire pit. I have not read the previous responses, yet, but blackstone makes a small griddle that is also ideal for car camping at a camp site.

Apologies if I am just repeating.

For coffee in the morning we do french press with a Jet Boil.

Jet Boils are great. It has two settings, off and total hell fire. Gets it done in a hurry. Great for altitudes.

Backpacking; the Jet Boil is all we use with dehydrated rations. However I do bring extra seasonings and a small squeeze bottle of sriracha.

It may be primitive, but the food does not have to be.

And am I the only guys who doesn't cook while camping?  I don't do coffee, a couple energy bars, water and an apple are great for breakfast, and sometimes swing by a convenience store for sushi when I'm not backpacking.  Fine grilled food tastes great in the outdoors, but so does room-temp simple things when you've been hiking all day.  Guess I just leave the fine grilling for the backyard...
