These are the content notes for "So Many Styles of Food."


"The wok is one of my favorite things to work with when I’m camping. Outdoor cooking is not just about hot dogs and hamburgers. There are so many styles of food you can make."
- Guy Fieri

Read about African safari cooking. South African Braai also has good recipes.

California's indigenous foods include acorns, pine nuts, prickly pear, and mesquite beans.

Millennium Bars are a popular emergency food bar in Terramagne-America, because they come in so many different flavors.

Salmon pemmican occurs all up the West Coast and into Canada. Whereas venison or bison pemmican tends to taste bland without seasonings, salmon pemmican tastes vividly of smoked fish with a hint of berry.

Brick ovens can cook many things.

A brick hibachi grill works well outside.

This brick pizza oven has a simple design with a fire chamber on the bottom, an oven in the middle, and a flat open top that can serve as a stovetop.

This basic brick barbecue oven includes a solid tray and a grill. This one is more complex with multiple cooking options under a roof.

Solar ovens can be made with various plans and materials such as a windshield sunshade, a box, an umbrella, a metal drum, or sheet metal.

Learn campfire cooking skills.

Most wire crafts are ornamental, although a few are practical. There used to be a local artist who made the most amazing holiday ornaments by weaving telephone wire in different colors. Africa has made baskets and other things from telephone wire. We keep a roll of plastic-coated hardware wire. The last thing I used it for was fixing a hanging pot whose support ropes had come loose due to ineffective anchors. I just wired the damn thing together. Repair tips meant for twist-ties will also work -- probably better -- with telephone wire.

Forging with rebar has pros and cons. It's plentiful and thus cheap or free, good for rugged outdoor equipment, and that's ideal for survival blacksmithing in general. Shiv's superpower lets him compensate for its unpredictable and sometimes brittle nature by knowing its composition and making it stronger. Blacksmith knives are often made from rebar. Explore some other projects. You can create an entire campfire kitchenette from rebar, which costs little or nothing and should last a decent time.

This campfire swivel kit is made mostly from rebar. It includes a monopod stake that sticks in the ground with two swivel hooks and a skillet. The cooking utensils have rebar handles with stainless steel ends including a lifting-hook, fork, spoon, and spatula.

A grilling basket makes it easy to cook fish, vegetables, or other things too fragile or small to cook with other equipment. The two mesh sides latch together so the whole thing can be held level, flipped over, or even turned on a spit. This is one of the more sophisticated tools, fussy to forge, but very easy to make with superpowers -- especially if you have wire or mesh already made that you can just stick onto a handle.

This set of campfire cooking utensils includes a grilling fork, steak flipper, spatula, ladle, and dutch oven lid-lifter.

Blacksmith knives have a looped handle to dissipate heat, which also allows them to hang on a hook or over a rod. This loop may be open or closed, flat or twisted, long or short. The blades may be longer or shorter, in various shapes, but generally intended as a multipurpose utility knife. They are excellent for camping or survival purposes because they are easily made from a single small piece of cheap steel or even free scrap metal.

These campfire cooking utensils have copper ends.
