First off, all my utensils, dutch oven included do double or triple duty, everything serves more than one purpose. The only reason I have a genny (and it's small) is I have onboard medical equipment that requires my house battery to maintain a charge, when I do an extended camp. I camp in the woods so available sunlight is fleeting so solar isn't a consideration. I don'r need or want ac, the woods is my ac. Finally, my dutch oven is cast aluminum, not cast iron. It's not heavy. Makes a dam good stew pot for squirrel stew too. Blacks are best. Reds don't have much meat on their bones.
Like I said a while back, I'd prefer to tent camp but I'm too old to sleep on the ground anymore. Basic necessities are all I need and that includes a roll of TP and a convenient bush.
Hey man, not trying to cause a fight but your coming off as a bit of a "I'm better than you" in your replies. Everyone does it different and more power to you if you like simple (I do too, I don't have a genset, oven or AC....my Dutch oven stays home after I learned to cook without it) and I get pretty far off-road as I hate camp grounds. But just because someone has a 5500 series truck and multi slide TC doesn't mean they can't afford a class A...I could be in a pusher for my toys costs and I'm not in a new 5 series truck or A 60k TC...settle down.
