Being a cook, and a bit of a quirky one at that (so I'm told), I plan on cooking out as much as I can. Hitting local stands and all along the way to gather our grub. Now the biggest problem I'm having is leaving stuff out of the kit... Even though I'm pretty much sticking to one style of cooking, one pot dishes (go figure), I can't seem to give up the notion that I MUST have my dutch oven on the trip... My cast iron (brick) 4qt oven... knife, spoon, yada-yada yada...

While I'm not opposed to eating out now and again, I just can't get over the feeling of sitting around a DO while it cooks my dinner The smells that all can really cut threw the dust and grime of the road with the promis of good food just inches away

How many others have had this insane idea that the Dutch Oven MUST come with? I know it's comming on a few of my short runs I have planned this winter, but how about those long hauls???
