Dutch Oven Dude

Dutch oven cooking is one of the most splendid activities on a camping trip. Transforming raw materials into an aromatic, mouth-watering meal or dessert is as much art as science. Just the looks of anticipation on everyone's faces when you lift the lid and let some of the smells escape is worth the extra work of packing this heavy piece of gear.
