In a survival situation, being able to cook your own food is not only key to making it out in one piece, it also greatly enhances your morale.

A warm meal in a tense situation, especially one where you are worn out from completing basic survival tasks not only nourishes you, but also serves to provide a sense of comfort.

One easy way of cooking food in a survival situation is to use a Dutch Oven. A dutch oven is a thick walled cooking pot that uses coals from a fire at its bottom and on top of it to cook food.

It is easy to set up and use and you can cook anything from baked goods to stews and soups.

On the next page, we show you how to use coals and heated rocks to cook with your Dutch Oven.
