Your cookware, along with your stove, is a key component of a safe and enjoyable wilderness trip.

Difficulty: Moderately Easy

Instructions

Step 1

Look for the right balance of capacity and weight/volume. As always, try to save pounds and cubic inches.
Step 2

Seek out nonstick cookware - cleanup is doubly troublesome in the wilderness.
Step 3

Make sure the cookware can stand high heat. Sometimes camping stoves don't allow simmering.
Step 4

Get at least a skillet and a saucepan to allow for different types of cooking.

Tips & Warnings

Look for pots and pans sold as a set. These are often cleverly designed to fit together and save volume.
Be willing to spend a little more. Your backpacking cookware is important in keeping you safe as well as comfortable.
