This mixture of mud and grasses can be used for a multitude of projects, from construction of shelters, cooking structures, kilns and food caches, to wrapping food for clay baking (as seen in my articles on these subjects in Wilderness Waymagazine ) and much more.

In case you find yourself on the move without a vehicle or pack animals to carry heavy cooking vessels like cast iron skillets and dutch ovens (or in case you get separated from your well stocked rucksack), here are some of the many other ways of cooking food using natural materials, as described in “The Green Beret Gourmet”: Today’s post is on homemade fire starters. They are easy and cheap to make. The one I have used for years and always works is cotton balls and vaseline. Simply impregnate the cotton balls with vaseline. This can be done easy by rolling the cotton ball in warm vaseline. By warm I mean set it out in the sun warm, I do not recommend liquefying the vaseline on a stove. During our boiling, broiling, blistering summer of 2012 here in the Missouri Ozarks, water was a topic of conversation wherever we went. Creeks and ponds dried up (some never recovered) and the water table dropped, forcing a few neighbors to have their well pumps lowered or to even have deeper wells drilled. |
