“Welcome back YouTube. This is Shane here with another episode of Lonewolf Survival. So, what we are gonna talk to you now about is, you’ve seen us cooking in the field before and everybody says what a connoisseur I am. So, what we want to show you is some of the stuff that we use and actually take with us that you can use in your kit. Whether it be in your bug out bag, whether it be in your larger sack, maybe you’re going for some mid to long term sustainability. We use the same stuff every time. I don’t carry a lot of cooking gear with me. I’m an iron skillet cook. That is what we primarily do 95% of everything that we eat when we’re out in the field. So I’m just gonna kind of go over a few of the things that we carry and some of the products out there and then once again, its up to you. What ever your needs are. If it’s over night, if it’s your BOB, if your using Sterno stove or something like that or if it’s on the larger scale and you’ve got a larger pack and you want to use a propane or butane stove”.
“So the first thing I want to talk about right now is the, I’m actually cooking with a Coleman butane stove and the butane canisters are rated for roughly 16 hours of cooking. Depending on the heat you’re using, the benefit of the butane stove is as you can see, I’m on a plastic table right here and I’ve got aluminum foil down for the splatter because remember, survival doesn’t have to be nasty and I don’t want to have to clean all this up later. There is no heat coming from under the unit here. It is very cool to the touch. Just generate as much surface heat as some of the other stoves would. It’s a single burner compact unit. Easy to ignite. Really good little unit.”
“So, some of the cookware we use, everything is iron skillet, these are seasoned. We put them on the fire pit, on the stove top. I carry two iron skillets. Some of the cookware, we like stainless steel, utensils, spoons, spatula, larger spatula. Now I use this if I am actually cooking on the fire so I don’t have to get in so close. Set of forks, set of plastic spoons. Hole (slotted) and without. Plastic spatula. That’s pretty much all of the utensils I use for whatever we are doing out here. Some of the other things I use that we have talked about before is the stainless steel. The Stanley stainless steel because it’s easy clean up and it’s really good. I can boil water and disinfectant and I know I don’t have any potential bacteria contaminates. So we’ve got stainless steel pot here, we got one of the Stanley pots here like I’ve showed you before. Stanley pot comes with bowls and actually has a set of plastic utensils on the inside. It has a set of plastic utensils that clips in to two bowls, two lids. That’s a really nice set. Of course my Stanley cup so I can make my coffee in. Got two cups in here. So we don’t carry a lot of gear with us. I don’t need a lot of gear for this stuff. Most things we do is over a fire anyways. As far as eating utensils. Plastic spork. Coleman makes them. You can get them at Walmart. It’s like six bucks for a pack of 8 of them. Use these things over and over until you wind them down to a nub. Then the Coleman camp plates. Two bucks a piece. These things are great. We beat these things to pieces.”
“And that’s pretty much all I use when we are out in the field and we’re cooking. My two skillets. I’m gonna flip my burgers while I’m talking. We don’t use a lot of seasoning in the field. I’ve got a small bag I keep most of my seasons in. I do carry and always try to have with me, even in my large bag, y’all have seen me before. I’m a follower of PAM. Nothing sticks to Pam, even the lid wont stay on. The multi spice, with the salt and the pepper and the curry and the garlic. Of course everything is better with A1. I put A1 in my eggs for God’s sake.”
“So that is pretty much all we work with. You don’t need a lot of stuff. You don’t need a 72 piece cook ware vision set. Normally I don’t have a steak for it anyway. I carry stuff in my bag. So a few iron skillets or if you wanna use a dutch oven, a couple stainless steel pots. Whatever application you’re using, a set of Sterno stoves or something like that. You want to choose what you’re gonna be preparing. We don’t carry a lot of meat and stuff with us. Just the bare minimum to get us through whatever operation we’re doing. So when you’re setting your cook kits up there is a lot of really good ones out there. The military stainless mess kits. I can cook in a canteen cook, I can cook in my Stanley cook cup. Soups or noodles, things like that. Make sure that whatever food or provisions you’re bringing with you for whatever your mission is, make sure that you have adequate containers and cookware and source to take care for preparing that. Oh and the last thing that I always preach to is to make sure you keep a clean area. Don’t throw food around. Don’t throw trash down. You don’t want animals, bears, coyotes, cougars, mountain lions, or wherever you’re at. Bugs. You don’t want these animals coming in, you don’t want to bring insects in. Like I said hygiene and cleanliness is important. I preach it all the time and will continue to preach to you until you get it. Survival, prepping, camping, it doesn’t have to be nasty ok?”
