Video Transcript

"Hi, this is John Stewart, and this is how to choose cooking ware, camping stoves, and other stuff for camping trips. Once you've decided that you're going to go camping, you need to sort your food, water, and preparations stuff out. Are you going to cook with firewood? Are you going to build your own fire? Stoves with liquid fuel, or a canister fuel, stuff like that, so you got to pick which stove is going to be best. If you're at a higher elevation, a canister stove is going to be better than building a fire, because it's going to put off more heat, at such a higher elevation. Water, is there a water source there, that you can filter water, and purify water? Or you are going to have to pack all of your water in, for your weekend trip, or week long trip? Because if you do, that's going to be a lot of weight that you're going to have to carry, and so you want to check into these things, so you know how much water you need to take. The heat and weather and stuff, can play a role into this also, so you want to check that, and then food. Are you going to take, and try and catch food, kill food, or are you going to pack all your food in? If you're going to pack your food in, you need to get specific rations laid out for what you're going to eat, and when you're going to eat it, and you always want to take a little bit extra, just because you will want some more food, at one point during your camping trip, so take a little bit extra every time, and this is how to pick food, cooking stuff, and water, for your camping trip."
