Two Words About Cooking In a Camping Trip And In An Extreme Situation

All tourists, of course, when they go to the forest, always stock up on products. And that if you are in the forest, there are no products, but you want to eat. Let's discuss. So, let's begin:

1. At once we will learn, all animals can be eaten, except foxes.

2. You can also eat a bird, even a crow, you just have to cook it longer.

3. Frogs are also edible. The younger the frog, the more delicious. Before cooking a frog, you need to let her lie down a little bit dressed in water.

4. The snake can be eaten, it is better to cook.

5. Dandelion and nettle are tasty and useful, and also able to act as a seasoning.

6. The plucking of a duck is better for dry, the rest of the bird can be doused with boiling water.

7. Mushrooms are eaten only edible. You can try the mushroom on the tongue, if it is bitter, that is not worth it. Better, of course, there are mushrooms, which are sure. The taste they are very deceptive.

8. Salad in the forest can be done simply: take a dandelion, nettle and plantain. For this, it is necessary to boil the nettle for 5 minutes, hold the plantain in boiling water for 2 minutes, and dandelion for about half an hour in brackish water.

9. An easy way to cook a bird in the forest: gut, salt and stuff the bird with greens. Then cover it with clay and bury it under the fire. Between clay and a bird you can also put a burdock. This method can also be used to prepare fish.

10. If there is a situation when it is necessary to preserve meat or fish, it is necessary to make a fire according to the principle of the post "Dakota center", in one pit a bonfire, in the other a game is suspended. So you can make an improvised smokehouse. From the firewood comes the willow and the alder. Cook about 2 hours, but it's better to control the process.

11. Coffee in the tourist trip can be made from the roots of burdock or dandelion: take the roots, wash, then finely chop. Then roast the roots a little brownish. Done, you can brew, you need 2 teaspoons on the mug, then cook like coffee.

12. Bulbs of forest lilies can be eaten raw, also from them it is possible to make flour if they are dried and crushed. From such flour you can bake bread.

13. The basal part of the lake reed can also be eaten raw and used for cooking.

14. Ribs can be used in salads, before it is well washed.

15. You can drink even muddy water, you only need to clean it. To do this, you can use several methods:

- add potassium permanganate, several crystals, allow to stand for an hour, after that you can drink water;
- You can clean the water with the branches of young fir, fir or pine. To do this, take a gram of 200 branches on a bucket of water and boil together for half an hour. Then add bits of willow bark, alder or birch to the bucket, boil for another 20 minutes. After all these operations, water should be allowed to cool and remove branches and bark from the bucket, then you can drink water;
- Another option: to pass water through a homemade filter consisting of sand, then charcoal and then gravel. After that, the water should be boiled for about 15 minutes;
- 5% iodine solution can also help, add 2-5 drops per liter of water, then let the water settle for half an hour, then you can drink.

16. Birch juice can replace water, and if you evaporate it, you can get sugar.

17. If you put a bag on a branch and tie it up so that the branch is inside the bag, you can get water, the main thing is to make the branch live.

Here so it is short about how to find livelihood and to survive in the conditions approached to ES. As a result, 17 points were accumulated, I'm sure that there are even more of them, this is only my knowledge, but not all, perhaps, I missed something.

Of course, if you are at home in the kitchen or in the woods, and you have food, you can cook better and tastier dishes, which recipes can be viewed on the forum in the "Kitchen" section.
