Cooking
Learning to cook is the prime skill everyone should know, whether it is on a cooker at home, on a barbecue in the garden or just on an open fire. Cooking increases the variety of foods that can be eaten and the enjoyment of eating as well, it’s also a useful survival skill and a huge morale booster.
There are many different methods of cooking on a fire some simple others a little more complicated. The most basic being using a stick for toasting bread, marshmallows, wrapping bread dough around a stick or skewering a chicken.
More elaborate cooking setups can include multiple fires above and below, in pits to retain temperature, or using hot rocks. Metal frames can be used for supporting larger animals like sheep or pigs to cook evenly next to the fire. Often various hooks on tripods or crane hold cast iron pots and pans or clay vessels, Pots can be used in the fire, next to the fire or just using coals.
Campfire cookery is an essential skill set for all bushcrafters and campers, whether you never venture far from home or wish to tackle more challenging journeys nothing beats a great meal with friends.

My love for the outdoors started when I was a child, I have always lived in the countryside and roamed free. My love of the outdoors and the great British countryside lead me to become a senior instructor with Forest Knights Bushcraft school. Forestknights prides itself on the quality of its food. Whether on our bushcraft courses or expeditions.
I love to experiment with cooking. Trying new techniques and recipes from our travels on the fire. I enjoy carving and woodturning as well as all sorts of other outdoor crafts.
