Getting to know how to cook over a campfire gives you a skill that was so instrumental in the story of how humans came to be the dominant force on our planet. Eating cooked food transformed our digestive tracts, which in turn allowed our brains to grow. Campfire's also provided warmth, a social experience, protection from predators and the ability to craft tools.
So, next time you cook over a campfire, consider the deeper history behind what you're doing, while you savor the whiff of woodsmoke and the aromas of whatever delightful one-pot meal you're cooking up. It's all about simplicity, bold flavors and a hearty meal at the end of it – and all in the great outdoors.
