Dutch ovens saved our hide a few years ago when an ice storm hit Central Iowa. We were without power for 5 days.

My Dutch Oven stack does a lot more than just sit there lookin' pretty!

The Dutch ovens were not used , because the storm didn't hit the Clinton area as hard as imagined. The electricty was on within a day or so. But my sister-in-law was ready, should there have been an extended power outage!

Mix together 1 box cake mix, 1 can pie filling, and about half a bottle of 7-Up or Sprite. Spread the batter evenly in a lined dutch oven, and cook over medium coals for 20 to 40 minutes checking occasionally until done.

Thanks for those recommendations, Dagny. I've been dabbling in solar cooking, cooking over a rocket stove, and will add your suggestions to my To Do list!

Cast iron is addictive and Made In the USA Lodge manufacturing is excellent. The Lodge Logic pre-seasoned line has made it even easier to get into cast iron cooking. I have several of Lodge's camp Dutch Ovens (smallest being the 1 quart), skillets, wok, biscuit pan, their Dutch Oven Table, etc. — for camping and home use. Have bought mine mostly on Amazon — always with their Free Super Saver Shipping.

Survival Mom — for boiling water and rudimentary cooking with minimal fuel (from twigs to dung), have you looked at Thermette kettles, Kelly Kettles and Eydon kettles? Old, simple and efficient technology. I carry a Kelly in my SUV and have a Thermette at home. Googling will pull up websites for all three manufacturers. Interesting fodder for your website, if you haven't already written on the subject.

I came to your website recently, via the Newsweek article, and keep coming back. Am presently waiting on delivery of the dehydrator you inspired me to buy…..
