781 - How do you prepare meals while camping?

When camping, you can prepare meals using different methods:

1. Portable Stove or Camping Stove: These stoves are lightweight and easy to set up. You can cook meals using propane or gas.
2. Campfire Cooking: If you're allowed to have a campfire, you can use a grill or cooking grate to cook meals like burgers, hot dogs, or vegetables.
3. Cooking in a Dutch Oven: A Dutch oven is a pot with a heavy lid that can be used to cook meals over a campfire. You can make delicious meals like stews, chili, or even bake a cake.

Food Safety Tips:

• Wash your hands before and after handling food.
• Keep raw meat and cooked food separate.
• Use a cooler with ice to store perishable food.
• Use utensils and plates that are easy to clean and dry.

Remember to always follow campsite rules and regulations, and clean up after your meals to leave the campsite as you found it.
