Camping Cooking Gear

When preparing food for camping, hot dogs and beans are traditional camping classics. However, you can cook almost the same foods you do at home while off the grid! It just takes some planning and ensuring you have the right camping cookware on hand.

Space is a valuable resource when camping, so packing your gear strategically and being selective about what you bring is important. Thinking ahead is also going to help in planning any easy-to-forget items such as how to wash your dirty dishes. By taking the time before your adventure to prepare your camping gear and cookware, you’ll be able to cook up tasty meals in the wilderness!

How to Best Prepare for Cooking While Off Road Camping

Collapsible

Items that are able to collapse for easier storage ideal for overland cooking! Strainers, cups, and even pots and pans can be found in collapsible options. These items that can be morphed for storage and ‘popped out’ for use are great options for camping.

Multi-Purpose

Look for camping cookware that can serve more than one purpose. By doing this, you are freeing precious storage real estate and lessening your weight load. The more functions one item can do well, the better! 

Stick to the Basics

When packing for a overlanding adventure, it can be too easy to quickly overpack; which is why we suggest our next motto, stick to the basics! Here is some key outdoor cooking gear:

  • Cooler
  • Ice packs
  • Cast iron pan
  • Spatulas
  • Knives
  • Cutting board
  • Plates, bowls, and cups
  • Eating utensils
  • Stove and/or fire grill
  • French press

Popular Camping Cooking Gear

In the modern age of technology, there are some innovative camping cooking gear options. Two brands that are popular among the adventurer community are:

  • Jet Boil – compact and portable water boiling system
  • Skottle – complete cooking system that is portable
 

If you own an Off Grid Trailer, you have the option to add cooking gear features to your Expedition 2.0 off road camper, Pando 2.0 teardrop camper, or Switchback off road trailer  such as a stove, sink, fridge, cutting board, and cooler. By having these items stored together, it will make for a quick and easy departure; getting you to your wilderness destination that much sooner.
