Cooking Over an Open Fire: A General Guide

Cooking over an open fire is a skill that has been passed down from generation to generation. It’s a great way to enjoy the outdoors and cook delicious meals at the same time. Whether you’re camping, hiking, or in a survival situation, cooking over an open fire can be a lifesaver. Here are some tips to help you get started:

1. Use the Right Fuel

The first step to cooking over an open fire is to use the right fuel. Use only seasoned firewood that has dried well. Greenwood is difficult to light and the heat will be limited. Greenwood also smokes a lot and dies out easily. The moisture content of the wood must be 20 percent or lower. You can purchase moisture meters reasonably cheap if you’re unsure if your wood is dry enough. Over time, you’ll become familiar with wood that is good for burning as you gather it. Use hardwoods like hickory, elm, oak, or maple. Softwoods like pine are okay if they’re well-seasoned. Obviously, in a survival situation you will have to do the best you can with what you're given.

2. Set the Fire Correctly

There are a number of ways to start a fire, but here is the method I prefer. Starting the perfect fire makes for the perfect cooking conditions. You really don’t want to fail to light and get a good heat building. Start with paper, straw, and small dry twigs or thin bark. Light this small pile with matches or a lighter. Once it’s alight, add more small twigs. As the fire builds, gradually add bigger and bigger sticks. Once you have a good size fire, begin to add larger logs. You want to make sure the fire is burning well, but don’t add new logs too quickly after the previous one otherwise you’ll smother the fire and create a lot of smoke and little heat. Also, adding too many logs at once makes for a big fire that burns down quickly, and it may not hold enough heat in the coals.

3. Give Yourself Time

Cooking on an open fire is time-consuming. Unlike starting an oven and cooking, there is the prepping, fuel gathering, building the fire gradually, and reducing to coals to cook. Give yourself plenty of time and factor that in if you are cooking for other people. Start earlier than you think you need to. Cooking in the dark with a headlight isn’t the most fun. It’s hard to tell whether the food is cooked, burned, or raw.

4. Cook on the Coals, Not on Flames

One of the most common mistakes many people make is cooking on the fire too soon. This is especially so when you cook directly, like placing meat on a grill over the fire. You can be forgiven for thinking it’s good to cook on a flame because it’s often how fire-cooking is portrayed on television or movies. However, cooking on the flames will burn your food and leave it raw in the middle. Instead, wait until the flames have died down and you have a good bed of coals. This will give you a more even heat and allow you to cook your food to perfection.

5. Split The Fire for Cooking and Providing Heat

If you’re cooking for a long time, you may need to split the fire into two parts. One part will be for cooking, and the other will be for providing heat. This will help you maintain a consistent temperature and avoid burning your food.

6. Use Quality Cooking Equipment

When cooking over an open fire, it’s important to use quality cooking equipment. Invest in a good cast iron skillet, Dutch oven, or grill grate. These items will last a lifetime and make cooking over an open fire much easier.

7. Use Foil

Foil is a great tool for cooking over an open fire. You can wrap your food in foil and place it directly on the coals. This will help keep your food moist and prevent it from burning.

8. Cook on a Rock

If you don’t have a grill grate, you can cook directly on a rock. Just make sure the rock is clean and free of any debris. You can also use a flat rock as a griddle to cook pancakes, eggs, and other foods.

9. Other Ways to Cook During a Survival Situation

In a survival situation, you may not have access to an open fire. Here are some other ways to cook your food:

• Solar Cooking: Use the sun’s energy to cook your food. You can use a solar oven or make your own using a cardboard box and aluminum foil.

• Chemical Heating: Chemical heating packs are a great way to cook your food without a fire. Just add water to the pack and place your food inside.

• Canned Heat: Canned

Here’s a few recipes to try at your next BBQ or Camp Weekend: 

1. Campfire Lasagna: This is a crowd-pleasing favorite that will leave your guests impressed. It’s made with layers of pasta, meat sauce, and cheese, and cooked to perfection over an open flame .

2. Grilled Chicken Kabobs: These kabobs are easy to make and perfect for a summer barbecue. They’re made with chicken, bell peppers, onions, and mushrooms, and can be cooked over an open flame or on a grill .

3. S’mores: No campfire is complete without s’mores! All you need are graham crackers, chocolate, and marshmallows. Toast the marshmallows over an open flame and sandwich them between two graham crackers and a piece of chocolate .

The 5 C’s of Survival: Secrets to Long-Term Outdoor Survival

Surviving in the wilderness can be a daunting task, but with the right tools and equipment, no matter if you're camping or in a survival situation, it can be a rewarding experience. The 5 C’s of Survivability are a set of equipment and tools that often form the core of any survival pack. They list the top 5 most essential types of items that greatly improve survivability. The 5 C’s of Survivability are:

1. Cutting Tools

2. Combustion Devices

3. Cover

4. Container

5. Cordage

Cutting Tools

Cutting tools are extremely important and versatile. They enable a survivalist to build a shelter, gather and process food, and create other equipment and tools. A sharp knife or an axe makes cutting branches and smaller trees easier and more efficient as compared to using a rock fashioned into a primitive axe. There’s no rule saying you can’t bring more than 1 cutting tool. It’s even encouraged to have at least one or two backup knives. In general, preppers would want a one-hand axe, a survival/field knife, and backup knives which can be incorporated in a multi-tool, or a compact folding knife. Preppers should also consider bringing a good, quality folding saw. Sawing generally uses less energy than hacking a tree or a branch with a hatchet or an axe. A great example of a folding saw is the Sven Saw. It’s lighter than an axe, durable, and is leagues faster and easier to use for cutting branches and smaller trees. If the weight of the survival pack starts becoming an issue, an axe can be substituted with a folding saw, and high-carbon steel, full tang field knife. Both combined weigh less than an axe, and can accomplish tasks originally done with an axe. The saw can be used to gather wood, while the knife can be used to split/splinter wood. However, it’s still a good idea to have an axe, a knife, and a folding saw.

Combustion Devices

Combustion devices are handy survival tools in the wilderness. They can be used to start a fire, cook food, and provide warmth. A lighter, matches, or a ferrocerium rod are all good options. A ferrocerium rod is a type of fire starter that produces sparks when struck with a metal object. It’s a reliable and durable option that can be used in any weather condition. Preppers should also consider bringing a small stove or a portable grill. They are lightweight and can be used to cook food and boil water.

Cover

Another excellent tool for safety in the 5 C’s of survival is a cover. A cover can be a tarp, a tent, or even a poncho. It provides shelter from the elements and can be used to create a makeshift shelter. A tarp is a versatile option that can be used in many ways. It can be used as a ground cover, a shelter, or even as a rain catcher. A tent is a more permanent option that provides better protection from the elements. It’s a good idea to bring a tent if you’re planning on staying in the wilderness for an extended period of time.

Container

A container is an essential tool for survival in the wilderness. It can be used to store water, food, and other supplies. A water bottle or a hydration bladder is a good option for storing water. They are lightweight and can be easily carried in a backpack. Preppers should also consider bringing a metal container. A metal container can be used to boil water, cook food, and even signal for help.

Cordage

Cordage is another essential tool for survival in the wilderness. It can be used to tie things together, create a shelter, or even as a fishing line. Paracord is a popular option that is lightweight and strong. It can be used in many ways and is an essential tool for any survival pack. Preppers should also consider bringing a fishing line. A fishing line can be used to catch fish and provide a source of food.

10 Bonus Recommendations:

In addition to the 5 C’s of survival, there are other essential items that you should consider adding to your survival kit. Here are some of them:

1. Water and Water Purification: Water is essential for survival, and it’s important to have a way to purify water in case you run out of clean water. You can use water purification tablets, a water filter, or a portable water purifier.

2. Food: Non-perishable food items such as energy bars, canned food, and dried fruits are great options for survival kits. Make sure to pack enough food to last for at least three days.

3. First Aid Kit: A first aid kit is essential for treating injuries and illnesses. Make sure to include bandages, gauze, antiseptic wipes, pain relievers, and any prescription medications you may need.

4. Navigation: A map and compass are essential for navigation. You can also consider adding a GPS device to your survival kit.

5. Lighting: A flashlight or headlamp is essential for lighting in the dark. Make sure to pack extra batteries or a solar-powered charger.

6. Fire Starter: A fire starter is essential for warmth, cooking, and signaling for help. You can use matches, a lighter, or a ferrocerium rod.

7. Emergency Shelter: A tent, tarp, or emergency blanket can provide shelter from the elements.

8. Multi-Tool: A multi-tool is a versatile tool that can be used for a variety of tasks such as cutting, opening cans, and tightening screws.

9. Personal Hygiene Items: Personal hygiene items such as toilet paper, soap, and hand sanitizer are important for maintaining cleanliness and preventing the spread of germs.

10. Emergency Whistle: An emergency whistle can be used to signal for help in case of an emergency.

Remember, the key to survival is preparation. Make sure to pack all the essential items you need before heading out into the wilderness. Stay safe!

In conclusion: The 5 C’s are the most essential types of items every survival kit should have. In the hands of an expert survivalist, these are enough to survive in the wild, create shelter, hunt food, and create additional tools and weapons. Remember, the key to survival is preparation. Make sure you have the right tools and equipment before heading out into the wilderness.

What To Do When You Are Dehydrated.

 

How to Rehydrate with Oral Rehydration Solutions

In the previous part of the series, we learned how to stay hydrated in a survival situation. We also learned how to prevent and recognize dehydration. However, sometimes dehydration can be caused by diarrhea or vomiting, which can result in a significant loss of fluids and electrolytes. In these cases, drinking plain water may not be enough to rehydrate your body. You may need to use oral rehydration solutions (ORS) to restore your fluid and electrolyte balance.

What are Oral Rehydration Solutions (ORS)?

Oral rehydration solutions (ORS) are liquids that contain water, sugar, salt, and sometimes other ingredients, such as baking soda or citrus juice. They are designed to replace the fluids and electrolytes that are lost due to diarrhea or vomiting. They can help prevent or treat dehydration, shock, and acidosis (a condition where your blood becomes too acidic).

ORS work by using the principle of osmosis. Osmosis is the movement of water across a membrane from a region of low solute concentration to a region of high solute concentration. In this case, the membrane is the lining of your intestines, and the solute is the sugar and salt in the ORS. When you drink ORS, the sugar and salt attract water from your bloodstream into your intestines. This increases the amount of water in your intestines, which helps flush out the bacteria or toxins that are causing diarrhea or vomiting. It also increases the amount of water in your bloodstream, which helps rehydrate your body and improve your blood pressure.

How to Make Homemade ORS

You can buy ORS packets from pharmacies or health centers, but they may not be available or affordable in some situations. Fortunately, you can make your own ORS at home using common ingredients. Here are some recipes for homemade ORS:

• Basic ORS: Mix 6 teaspoons of sugar and 0.5 teaspoon of salt in 1 liter of clean water. Stir well until dissolved.
• Baking Soda ORS: Mix 6 teaspoons of sugar, 0.5 teaspoon of salt, and 0.5 teaspoon of baking soda in 1 liter of clean water. Stir well until dissolved.
• Citrus Juice ORS: Mix 6 teaspoons of sugar, 0.5 teaspoon of salt, and 0.5 cup of citrus juice (such as lemon, lime, or orange) in 1 liter of clean water. Stir well until dissolved.

You can also add a pinch of potassium chloride or potassium-rich foods (such as bananas, potatoes, or coconut water) to your ORS to increase the potassium content.

How to Use ORS

The amount and frequency of ORS you need to drink depends on your age, weight, and severity of dehydration. A general guideline is to drink enough ORS to match the amount of fluid you lose through diarrhea or vomiting. For example, if you have one cup of diarrhea or vomit, you should drink one cup of ORS.

Some tips to use ORS are:

• Drink ORS slowly and in small sips.
• Drink ORS as soon as you start having diarrhea or vomiting.
• Drink ORS between meals, not with meals.
• Continue to drink ORS until your diarrhea or vomiting stops.
• If you have signs of severe dehydration (such as confusion, weakness, rapid heartbeat, low blood pressure, reduced skin elasticity, sunken eyes), seek medical attention immediately.
• If you have signs of other complications (such as blood in your stool or vomit, fever, abdominal pain), seek medical attention immediately.

Conclusion

Oral rehydration solutions (ORS) are liquids that can help you rehydrate your body when you have diarrhea or vomiting. They can prevent or treat dehydration, shock, and acidosis. You can make your own ORS at home using ingredients such as sugar, salt, baking soda, and citrus juice. You should drink enough ORS to match the amount of fluid you lose through diarrhea or vomiting.

The Laymen's Guide To Hydration

 

How to Stay Hydrated in a Survival Situation

Water is essential for life. It regulates your body temperature, transports nutrients and oxygen, flushes out toxins and waste, lubricates your joints, and protects your organs and tissues. Without enough water, your body will start to malfunction and eventually shut down.

Hydration is especially important in a survival situation, where you may face harsh conditions, physical exertion, or limited access to clean water sources. Dehydration can impair your mental and physical performance, making it harder for you to think clearly, make decisions, and cope with stress. It can also increase your risk of heat-related illnesses, such as heat exhaustion and heat stroke, which can be fatal.

How Much Water Do You Need?

The amount of water you need to drink per day depends on several factors, such as your age, weight, activity level, climate, and health condition. A general rule of thumb is to drink at least half a gallon (2 liters) of water per day for an average adult. However, this may vary depending on your individual needs and circumstances.

Some factors that increase your water needs are:

• High temperature and humidity: You lose more water through sweating when the weather is hot and humid. You may need to drink up to a gallon (4 liters) of water per day in extreme heat.
• Physical activity: You lose more water through sweating and breathing when you exercise or perform strenuous tasks. You may need to drink an extra 0.5 to 1.5 liters of water per hour of activity.
• Illness or injury: You lose more water through fever, vomiting, diarrhea, or bleeding. You may need to drink more water to replace the fluid loss and prevent dehydration.
• Altitude: You lose more water through breathing when you are at high altitudes (above 8,000 feet or 2,500 meters). You may need to drink an extra 1 to 1.5 liters of water per day at high altitudes.

How to Prevent Dehydration

The best way to prevent dehydration is to drink enough water before you feel thirsty. Thirst is a sign that your body is already dehydrated. You should also monitor your urine color and volume. If your urine is dark yellow or brown, or if you urinate less than usual, you are likely dehydrated.

Some tips to prevent dehydration are:

• Drink water regularly throughout the day, even if you are not thirsty.
• Drink more water before, during, and after physical activity or exposure to heat.
• Drink water with electrolytes (such as sodium, potassium, and magnesium) to help balance your fluid and electrolyte levels. You can add a pinch of salt and sugar to your water, or use oral rehydration solutions (ORS), which will be discussed in the next part of the series.
• Avoid drinking alcohol, caffeine, or carbonated drinks, as they can dehydrate you by increasing your urine output or interfering with your hydration signals.
• Eat foods that contain water, such as fruits, vegetables, soups, and stews.

How to Recognize Dehydration

Dehydration can have mild, moderate, or severe symptoms depending on the degree of fluid loss. Some common signs and symptoms of dehydration are:

• Dry mouth and lips
• Headache
• Fatigue
• Dizziness
• Confusion
• Weakness
• Muscle cramps
• Rapid heartbeat
• Low blood pressure
• Reduced skin elasticity
• Sunken eyes
• Decreased urine output
• Dark urine color

If you experience any of these symptoms, you should drink water immediately and seek medical attention if possible. Severe dehydration can lead to organ failure, coma, or death.

Conclusion

Hydration is vital for survival and health. You should drink enough water to meet your daily needs and prevent dehydration. You should also be aware of the factors that increase your water needs and the signs and symptoms of dehydration. In the next part of the series, we will learn how to rehydrate with oral rehydration solutions (ORS) in case of dehydration caused by diarrhea or vomiting.

How to Find and Collect Water, No Matter The Environment

 

How to Find and Collect Water in Different Environments

Water is one of the most essential resources for survival and health. Without water, you can only survive for a few days, and you will suffer from dehydration, fatigue, headaches, and organ failure. However, finding and collecting water in different environments can be challenging and risky. You may face water scarcity, contamination, or competition from other people or animals. Therefore, you need to know how to find and collect water in different environments using various methods and tools.

In this article, we will cover the main sources and methods of water collection in different environments, such as rain, snow, dew, streams, lakes, wells, hydrants and other urban water sources as well as plants. We will also explain the advantages and disadvantages of each source and method, and provide some tips on how to improve the quality and safety of the water you collect.

Rainwater

Rainwater is one of the easiest and cleanest sources of water in a survival situation. Rainwater is usually free of contaminants, pathogens, and chemicals, and it can provide a large amount of water in a short time. However, rainwater is not always available or reliable. You may face droughts, storms, or pollution that can affect the availability and quality of rainwater. Therefore, you need to know how to collect rainwater using different methods and tools.

One of the simplest methods of collecting rainwater is using tarps. Tarps are large sheets of waterproof material that can catch and funnel rainwater into containers. You can set up tarps by tying them to trees or poles at an angle, or by digging a hole in the ground and lining it with a tarp. You can also use buckets, barrels, or gutters to collect rainwater from roofs or other structures.

Some tips on how to improve the quality and safety of rainwater are:

• Use clear or light-colored tarps to avoid leaching chemicals or dye from the material.
• Boil the rainwater for at least one minute to kill any bacteria or viruses that may have been introduced by birds or insects.
• Add a few drops of bleach per gallon of water to disinfect and preserve the rainwater.

Snow and Ice

Snow and ice are another abundant and easy source of water in cold environments. Snow and ice are usually fresh and pure, as they are formed from frozen water vapor. However, snow and ice also have some drawbacks as a source of water. You need to melt them before you can drink them, which requires energy and time. You also need to be careful not to consume too much snow or ice at once, as they can lower your body temperature and cause hypothermia.

One of the easiest methods of collecting snow and ice is using shovels. Shovels are tools that can scoop up snow or ice from the ground or other surfaces. You can also use pots, pans, or plastic bags to collect snow or ice from trees or roofs. You can then melt the snow or ice using fire, solar heat, or body heat.

Some tips on how to melt snow and ice safely and efficiently are:

• Use clear or white snow or ice to avoid contaminants or impurities.
• Crush or chop the snow or ice into small pieces to speed up the melting process.
• Add some liquid water to the snow or ice to prevent scorching or boiling over.
• Use a metal container with a lid to conserve heat and prevent evaporation.

Dew

Dew is another simple and clean source of water in humid environments. Dew is formed when water vapor condenses on cool surfaces at night. Dew is usually safe to drink without purification, as it has not been exposed to soil or air pollution. However, dew is also a scarce and unpredictable source of water. You may not get enough dew to satisfy your thirst, or you may not get any dew at all depending on the weather conditions. Therefore, you need to know how to collect dew using different methods and tools.

One of the simplest methods of collecting dew is using cloths. Cloths are pieces of fabric that can absorb dew from grass or leaves. You can then wring out the cloths into containers or directly into your mouth. You can also use sponges or plastic sheets to collect dew from rocks or metal surfaces.

Some ways to increase the amount and quality of dew are:

• Choose a location that is exposed to cool air currents and away from heat sources.
• Collect dew early in the morning before the sun evaporates it.
• Use clean and absorbent materials that do not contain chemicals or dye.

Streams and Lakes

Streams and lakes are one of the most common and accessible sources of water in most environments. Streams and lakes can provide a large quantity of water that is constantly flowing and replenishing. However, streams and lakes also have some challenges and risks as a source of water. You may face contamination, variability, or competition from other people or animals. Therefore, you need to know how to collect water from streams and lakes using different methods and tools.

One of the easiest methods of collecting water from streams and lakes is using bottles. Bottles are containers that can hold water from streams or lakes. You can simply fill up bottles from the surface or the middle of the water source. You can also use cans or hoses to collect water from streams or lakes.

Some steps to purify water from streams and lakes are:

• Filter the water through a cloth, coffee filter, or sand to remove dirt, sediment, or debris.
• Boil the water for at least one minute to kill any bacteria, viruses, or parasites that may be present in the water.
• Use chemical disinfectants, such as chlorine bleach, iodine, or chlorine dioxide tablets, to kill any remaining pathogens or improve the taste of the water.

Wells

Wells are another reliable and quality source of water in many environments. Wells are holes or shafts that tap into underground aquifers or springs that contain fresh and clean water. Wells are usually protected from surface contamination and pollution, and they can provide a steady supply of water throughout the year. However, wells also have some disadvantages and challenges as a source of water. You may face depth, maintenance, or access issues when collecting water from wells. Therefore, you need to know how to collect water from wells using different methods and tools.

One of the simplest methods of collecting water from wells is using buckets. Buckets are containers that can hold water from wells. You can lower buckets into wells using ropes or chains, and then pull them up when they are full. You can also use pumps or ropes to collect water from wells.

Some precautions to take when collecting water from wells are:

• Check the water level of the well before lowering or raising buckets or pumps, to avoid damaging the equipment or wasting water.
• Test the water quality of the well periodically, using kits or strips, to detect any changes in pH, hardness, or contamination.
• Seal the well properly after collecting water, to prevent dirt, insects, or animals from entering or contaminating the well.

Hydrants and Other Urban Water Sources

Hydrants and other urban water sources are one of the most available and convenient sources of water in urban environments. Hydrants and other urban water sources are connected to municipal water systems that deliver treated and pressurized water to buildings and streets. Hydrants and other urban water sources can provide a large amount of water in a short time, and they can be easily accessed by anyone. However, hydrants and other urban water sources also have some drawbacks and dangers as a source of water. You may face safety, legality, or quality issues when collecting water from hydrants and other urban water sources. Therefore, you need to know how to collect water from hydrants and other urban water sources using different methods and tools.

One of the easiest methods of collecting water from hydrants and other urban water sources is using wrenches. Wrenches are tools that can open or close valves on hydrants or other urban water sources. You can use wrenches to turn on or off hydrants or other urban water sources, and then fill up containers or hoses with water. You can also use pliers or hoses to collect water from hydrants or other urban water sources.

Some potential hazards of collecting water from hydrants and other urban water sources are:

• Leaks: Leaks are holes or cracks in pipes or valves that cause water to escape or spray out of hydrants or other urban water sources. Leaks can waste water, reduce pressure, or damage equipment.
• Rust: Rust is a reddish-brown substance that forms on metal surfaces when they are exposed to oxygen and moisture. Rust can corrode pipes or valves, affect the taste and color of water, or introduce harmful bacteria into the water.
• Chemicals: Chemicals are substances that are added to municipal water systems to treat or disinfect the water. Chemicals can include chlorine, fluoride, or lead. Chemicals can affect the taste and smell of water, cause allergic reactions, or pose health risks.
• Bacteria: Bacteria are microscopic organisms that can grow in pipes or valves when they are not used or maintained properly. Bacteria can include E. coli, Legionella, or Salmonella. Bacteria can cause infections, illnesses, or diseases.

Plants

Plants are another diverse and fresh source of water in many environments. Plants are living organisms that absorb and store water from the soil or the air. Plants can provide a small but steady amount of water throughout the year, and they can also offer some nutritional or medicinal benefits. However, plants also have some difficulties and dangers as a source of water. You may face seasonality, identification, or toxicity issues when collecting water from plants. Therefore, you need to know how to collect water from plants using different methods and tools.

One of the simplest methods of collecting water from plants is using cutting. Cutting is a method that involves cutting or breaking plant parts that contain water, such as stems, roots, or fruits. You can then squeeze or suck the water out of the plant parts into containers or directly into your mouth. You can also use transpiration to collect water from plants. Transpiration is a method that involves wrapping a plastic bag around a leafy branch and letting the sun heat up the bag. The water vapor from the plant will condense on the bag and drip into a corner.

Some examples of plants that are good sources of water are:

• Cacti: Cacti are succulent plants that store water in their stems, roots, or fruits. You can cut open a cactus and scoop out the pulp or juice. Be careful not to touch the spines or eat the skin, as they can cause irritation or poisoning.
• Bamboo: Bamboo is a grass that has hollow stems that contain water. You can cut a bamboo stem near the base and collect the water that drips out. You can also tap a bamboo stem with a knife or a nail and insert a straw or a tube to drink the water.
• Vines: Vines are plants that have long and flexible stems that climb or creep on other plants or structures. You can cut a vine near the ground and near the tip and collect the water that flows out. Be careful not to cut poisonous vines, such as poison ivy or poison oak, as they can cause rashes or blisters.
• Fruits: Fruits are edible plant parts that contain water, sugar, and vitamins. You can eat fruits raw or squeeze them to extract the juice. Some fruits that are good sources of water are coconuts, watermelons, oranges, and grapes.
