Description

in the final episode of this series, after a full day of primitive camping setup, it’s time for food, fire, and light. In this episode, I’ll show you how I:

Slice and fry Spam for a hearty, easy camp meal.

Clean cookware the simple way with hot water while it’s still on the fire.

Use compact solar lanterns for red light, strobe signaling, and camp illumination.

Improvise a pillow using a tarp bag and extra clothes.

Wrap up camp life with gratitude and the reminder to always leave no trace.

Camping is about more than just surviving—it’s about enjoying the little routines that make the outdoors feel like home.

below is a list of gear used in this series:

Fire redundancy: Ferro rod, Bic lighter, char cloth, and even a pencil sharpener for tinder.

Cutting tools: Belt knife (Mora Garberg), backup knife, multi-tool, and folding saw.

Cooking gear: Bush pot, skillet, wood burning grill, cutting board, and seasoning containers.

Food & drink: Freeze-dried meals, tortillas, powdered milk, trail mix, and drink mixes. 
(if you are interested in my new homemade freeze-dried meals email me at chris@speiroutdoors.com I will be offering:
 Breakfast, (Southern) Red Beans & Rice, Chicken Stew and Shepherd's Pie)

Water systems: GRAYL filter, 6L gravity bag, and backup metal bottle for boiling.

Shelter: DD 3x3 tarp, wool blanket, hammock, and a blow-up mattress for flexibility.

Comfort & safety: First aid kit, solar lanterns, gloves, shemagh, change of clothes, and even a folding camp chair.

If you’ve ever wondered how to put together a primitive camping kit that covers every base without overpacking, this video lays out the blueprint.
