Cooking Utensils for Camp

The following articles are almost indispensable: A long-handled frying-pan, a bunch of half a dozen pieces of telegraph wire, each two feet long, with which to make a spider or broiler; by simply laying them across the fire or over the hot coals, you have a gridiron. You may bundle it up when its work is done; three or four assorted tin buckets for cooking purposes and for water; a tin coffee-pot; a long iron fork; a long iron spoon; some cheap tin cups, plates, and spoons, and some forks and knives.

Food

If you do not want to go hungry, do not depend upon the fish and game you intend to capture for food supply, but take along some boneless bacon and fat pork. With the latter, you can cook your fish, and the former is good for a relish with whatever fresh meat you may secure.

Then you should have some good ground coffee in a tightly closed tin box. Some tea in a screw-top glass preserve jar, sugar, salt, prepared flour, corn meal, rice, beans, oat-meal, condensed milk, evaporated cream, crackers and as much canned or dried fruits as you can transport without overloading --these are not necessaries, but all of them will come handy in camp, and will help out a meal when the fish do not bite and the game fails to come and be shot.
