Cookware When Bugging Out

Joseph Parish asked:




When the time arrives to bug out to a safe location we all have some idea as to what we should take with us. In some cases these essential items are contained in out Bug out Vehicle well ahead of their actual need.

Suppose you have to evacuate an area immediately. You feel confident that you have all the equipment that you could require. You have sufficient cash, credit cards, canned food, first aid supplies, spare items of clothing which are suitable for the weather at hand and maps to guide you. You and your family quickly leap into you Bug out vehicle and start to head out of town. As the hours roll on you decide it is time to stop and make something to eat. The wife glances at the cans of food that was brought and decides on a lunch course for the family.

"Oh no", she gasps, "We didn't bring any cookware at all.

Don't feel bad as most survivalist at one time or another forget to include things like pots and pans and associated cookware in their Bug out bags.

As with any sort of bug out items you want to get the best items for your money. You cookware may have to last you for a considerable length of time so you want it to be durable, versatile and strong. Chances are you may end up roughing it for some time so you want to purchase cookware which won't disappoint you when you require its service. A broken pot or pan can be critical and could result in not eating. A cracked pan will fair no better in situations such as these. In either case it isn't appealing in the least.

Many survivalists will maintain a completely different set of pots and pans then the ones which they use in their home kitchen to cook their daily meals. This stands to reason as first off you will not want to run around the kitchen at the last moment gathering up various pots and pans prior to getting on the road. Secondly why risk damaging your home cookware when you can easily have a separate set for your BOV.

I would like to provide you with a few additional hints regarding your BOV cookware.

Your cookware should have tight fitting lids to allow your food to heat up quicker thus saving you valuable fuel used for cooking.

Bug out vehicle cookware should not have the nonstick coatings due to the fact that should you burn it one time you can trash the pot or the pan. It will be useless to you.

Simplicity is the key when it comes down to cookware for bugging out. You should try to locate cookware which you can easily store in your BOB's where space is a premium. A careful search can reveal a set of pots and pans which easily fit together in a set saving considerable space. Try to locate cookware which has rounded edges in place of square as they will not damage your storage container as easily. This is particularly important if you are using something similar to a duffle bag as your BOB.

Make sure that you include several pot holders in your kit as the handles may possibly get very hot.

Although you only require a few essential pieces of cookware should you be really cramped for space a single unit can fill the bill. This is all according to the number of people for which the cookware will have to provide meals for. Naturally, the more individuals you have with you the more equipment you will require.

OXO Good Grips Bottle Brush OXO Good Grips Bottle Brush
Sale Price: $4.99

With two types of bristles and a flexible neck, the bottle brush by Oxo is the ultimate weapon in cleaning skinny bottles and narrow jars. Because of the brush's flexible neck and rounded head, nooks and crannies are easy to get to and get clean. The nonslip handle stays firmly in place--even under running water--and absorbs pressure and tension away from hands. --Laurie Notaro

Now, thanks to OXO, your problems are solved with this Good Grips bottle brush. Using a thin and flexible neck, the brush can be inserted deep into a bottle and manipulated to scrub the farthest of corners. The bristles are soft enough to be used on non-stick surfaces, and gentle enough to clean delicates such as baby bottles, vases, carafes, pitchers, and more. When not in use, simply hang the brush up on a peg, if desired, using the handle's eyelet.OXO was founded on the philosophy of Universal Design, which is the concept of designing products that are easy to use for the largest possible spectrum of users. In the case of OXO, it means designing products for young and old, male and female, left- and right- handed and many with special needs. These ergonomically- designed, trans-generational tools set a new standard for the industry and raised the bar of consumer expectation for comfort and performance.
