Outdoor tableware made of natural materials

In an extreme environment, of course, not to comfort or elegance, but the elementary utensils and appliances still needed. Today we will talk about how out of natural materials at hand to produce kitchen utensils: water containers and food, dishes and cutlery.

Dishes need to collect drinking water, boil it over a campfire, cook and store food, to bring at least some comfort in the harsh life of the march.

Very good material for the various dishes and utensils - bamboo, which grows in the jungles of the equator to the subtropics. If you split a long bamboo stick along, you get a tray with many sections. This bamboo tray is well used to collect rainwater. His pose on the ground and sent to him a large piece of palm trees, from which rainwater drains into the tray.

If we take the thick bamboo and cut off one section - you get a good water tank. Cut should be just below the knee (it turns out the bottom of the pot) and below the knee following (it turns out the open top of a vessel). In this bamboo bucket can even boil the water at the fire.

Splitting the bamboo stalk into thin strips can be manufactured like forks or chopsticks. Primitive cutlery - it's better than he is with his hands.

Not bad bowls are obtained from the shell halves of large coconut. As the dishes you can use the large, stiff leaves - they collect water to use as plates.
