5 gift ideas for your friends who love cooking outdoors

  1. Wolf and Grizzly Campfire Trio

    I have seriously been loving how compact, portable, and versatile this set up is. It makes cooking over the fire so easy and you can bring it pretty much anywhere! You can use my discount code CARLIN_FRIMMEL at checkout for 20% off!

2. Jetboil Mini Mo

We’ve had our mini mo for YEARS, and this thing has been put through everything from overlanding, winter camping, hunting trips, and probably a good few hundreds batches of coffee. Few things I love about this set up: simmer control (so you don’t burn your food), coffee press, and the pot support to use pans and larger pots when cooking for larger groups.

3. Stasher Bags

Stasher is great for storing snacks, leftovers, and rehydrating your backpacking meals. They are reusable, durable, and a great alternative to plastic bags. They can handle boiling water - making them perfect for rehydrating your dehydrated backpacking meal! They’re also great for storing snacks or organizing small gear. You can use my discount code: CARLINSQUAD20 at the checkout on stasherbag.com for 20% off!

4. A Proper Set of Fire Gloves

I’ve burned enough holes in my kitchen oven mitts to know that this is 100% worth it if you cook over the fire a lot. Protect your hands (AND your oven mitts) from the heat and flames, and make it easier to handle hot cast iron cookware without burning yourself. You can find fire gloves at many outdoor stores, or honestly, I just use welding gloves.

5. Cast Iron Pans and Pots

My #1 go-to for cooking over the fire. I love baking things like fresh dinner rolls, lasagna, or cinnamon buns using a cast iron dutch oven or using a frying pan for anything from pancakes to skillets to steak.

I’ve tried out many brands and my favourites so far are Lodge, Field Company, and Madog Outdoors. When ordering from Madog, you can use my discount code CARLIN5 for 5% off!
