Camp Chef’s cast-iron skillet and dutch oven bundle is currently 21 percent off at Backcountry. Sure, there are backpacking companies that produce collapsible cooking pots and ultralight frying pans that weigh mere ounces, making it hard to imagine hefting cast-iron cookware to a campsite. But it’s worth it; those lightweight items suffice on long journeys, but if you don’t have to worry about weight — car camping, rafting trips, short hikes — a cast-iron skillet or pot is ideal for outdoor cooking. Not only is cast iron durable, but you can place it directly into a campfire if you need to. Camp Chef’s set is stamped with scenes from America’s iconic National Parks (to help differentiate it from the iron you use at home).
