What’s something you need to take with you wherever/whenever you go camping? It don’t have to be anything useful or practical just in your option something that if left behind it would ruin the trip or you’d immediately turn around to go get? Mine is a cast iron pie maker. However you know them campfire pie, hobo pie, or mountain pie. We know them as pizza pie. The simplicity of bread sauce cheese and pepperoni cooked in the heat of a campfire “chef kiss” perfection! The aluminum pie molds are not as good imo as they are easier to burn and don’t cook evenly.

Pie iron pizzas are a must on all our car camping trips. Love those things.
I take my coffee grinder always and s’more!!!
We call them pudgie pies and they’re definitely a staple with us. We also do dessert pies in them. Fruit pie filling and sometimes a little dollop of cream cheese. My inner child prefers the round one that cuts off the crust. Definitely cast iron though.
One of my favorite new items is a kindling cracker. So much fun breaking down a piece of fire wood (without risking any fingers) and it’s so much more enjoyable starting a little fire without needing any accelerant.
A percolator. Mmm hot coffee brewed on a campfire. Goood morning me!!!
I always use tortillas in those pie irons now, cause it’s hard to find bread big enough to seal. But we rarely have a fire so they only get used every couple of years in the backyard.
I love mine.
I usually get a pizza for the drive out into the woods and these reheat it into a great snack through a couple days.
Don’t it with subway subs also which is weird because subway isn’t my preferred sub shop it’s just available at the small town before no service happens.
Meh. Too heavy to haul
We have pie irons (single & double), and a popcorn maker.
