Just because you're camping
,..
When you're out in the wilderness it's all about getting back to basics. And what's a more basic piece of kitchenware than the pot you cook in? Just make sure to look for strong handles on pots and pans that resist heat so you can grip them over an open flame, and hooks to hang cookware up to dry after washing.

Stick to materials that are easy to clean and durable enough to withstand some serious heat from an open flame. Such materials may include non-stick aluminium, titanium, cast iron and stainless steel. |
Dishes made of titanium or aluminium are great for camping because they can be banged around in your backpack without getting damaged and are very easy to clean--just hose them off! |
Mess kits contain all the basic cookware you need, including a pot, drinking cup/measuring cup, pan and dish. This is great if it's just you out in the woods, or it can make for easy storage and clean-up if each member of the camping party has one. |
If you don't want to buy separate pieces, many companies making camping cooksets out of durable metals. Cooksets can include everything from frying pans to kettles |
You can't cook or eat what you've grilled up without the proper utensils, and some products are designed specifically for camp cooking. The same goes for cups and other containers that need to keep liquids clean and drinkable while being easy to use and store.

Nothing is more handy or more portable. Folding utensils can be easily washed and kept clean in a nylon zip pouch and placed in the pocket of your backpack. |
A Trusty Spork If you really don't have a lot of room, why not use this spoon and fork combo? Some sporks come in foldable versions as well. |
Camping meal kits focus specifically on serving the meal, rather than cooking it. They usually include one dish, one bowl, one cup and a knife, fork and spoon. |
Like your pots and pans, the cooking utensils you use should be made of durable, non-stick materials like titanium or Teflon. Useful pieces include a spatula for burgers, a ladle for stew and serving spoons. |
Camping cups can be completely collapsible or have handles that fold to make them easier to store. |
Some like it hot and others like it cold. Either way, insulation is your friend when you hit the great outdoors.

Picnic coolers are great for day trips. They usually have several insulated compartments for storing food and drinks, as well as pouches for silverware and cooking utensils. |
Water bottles can keep your drinking water cool and clean easily. If you want to forgo the typical Nalgene, newer bottles are now fit with handy Purifiers. |
Insulated Travel Cups and Mugs If you're camping in the cold, nothing can make you feel better than a warm fire and a hot cup of tea. These cups are durable and keep your drinks steaming. |
Insulated Lunch Bags and Drink Carriers Insulated lunch bags and drink carriers (some made specifically for wine) are great for keeping snacks cool on a day-long hike. |
