Cookware

After miles of glassing, stalking, and climbing, few things are more satisfying than a hot meal in the backcountry. Whether you’re solo deep in the wilderness preparing meals or running basecamp and car camping with your crew, the right hunting cookware turns a rugged mountain evening into a moment of rest, refueling, and reset for your next outdoor adventure. At BlackOvis, we believe your gear should work as hard as you do and that includes your camping cookware.

We’ve curated a selection of field-proven hunting cooking supplies designed to perform in extreme conditions. From compact stove systems to lightweight mess kits, we offer dependable, efficient, and packable camping cooking supplies that helps your outdoor cooking cook fast, eat well, and get back to what matters most: the hunt.

When you're living out of a pack for days at a time or managing a large base camp in unpredictable weather, eating cold snacks and protein bars only gets you so far. A dependable stove and cookware setup allows you to prepare hearty meals more elaborate meals, hydrate freeze-dried dinners for your camp kitchen, and make coffee that feels like a lifeline before sunrise. But beyond comfort, proper hunting cookware plays a vital role in performance:

Hot food = better recovery after grueling days
Boiled water = safe hydration in remote areas
Efficient systems = less fuel waste and faster meal prep
Packable setups = compact storage and more space in your kit

From high-altitude shelters to wind-swept duck blinds, we stock the cook set you can count on when conditions turn harsh and time is limited in the great outdoors.

At BlackOvis, we understand every hunt is different. That’s why our selection of camping cookware includes solutions for solo backpackers, minimalist spike camps, and full-sized basecamps alike.

1. Backpacking Stove Systems

When weight and speed matter, integrated stove systems are the best choice. These setups combine a fuel-efficient burner with a fast-boil camping pot, perfect for freeze-dried meals, coffee, or soups.

Look for:

• Wind-resistant design
• Piezo ignition for fast lighting
• Compact nested systems
• Fuel efficiency (especially in alpine conditions)

Brands like Jetboil and MSR are staples among backcountry hunters for good reason, they’re fast, light, and proven when you’re miles off the grid.

2. Ultralight Cooking Kits

If you're going full minimalist or trying to cut every ounce, titanium mugs and collapsible silicone cookware offer ultralight solutions. Pair with a micro burner and a small fuel canister for a system that fits in your palm but fuels days of hard hunting.

Great for:

• Early-season bowhunts
• High-elevation scouting
• Single-day summit hunts

3. Basecamp Camping Cookware Systems

If you’re running a vehicle-accessed camp or spending several nights in one spot with a group, consider a larger stove and full cookware set. Multi-burner stoves, full-size pots and pans, and wind screens allow you to cook real meals, not just boil water.

Features to consider:

• Multi-pot compatibility
• Sturdy wind guards
• Adjustable flame control
• Non-stick coatings for easy cleanup

The material your hunting cookware is made from affects weight, heat transfer, durability, and cleaning. Here’s a quick breakdown:

• Aluminum: Lightweight, fast to heat, and budget-friendly. Aluminum pots are great for boil-only setups
• Titanium: Ultra-light and extremely durable. Heats quickly but can develop hot spots. Best for minimalist solo systems
• Stainless Steel: Most durable and best for even cooking, but heavier. A good choice for basecamps and longer-duration hunts with a stainless steel frying pan

The little things matter when you’re cooking in the wild. Round out your hunting cooking supplies with smart, packable accessories that make camp life easier:

• Fuel canisters (always bring a spare)
• Utensils – ultralight forks, spoons, and spatulas
• Cooking tongs and spatulas for basecamp setups
• Insulated mugs for coffee or hot chocolate
• Lids and pot grips for faster boils and safer handling
• Wind screens to shield flames in tough weather
• Camp towels or scrub pads for cleanup

Pro tip: Keep a lightweight Ziplock of seasonings, instant coffee, and small condiments ready to go. Little comforts go a long way when you're days from a warm kitchen.
