Outdoor Kitchen Contributor, KitchenWise
Jordan Vale
Jordan Vale tests camp cookware on actual trips — car camping, canoe routes, and backcountry overnights. Focused on what holds up over three seasons, not just one weekend.
Jordan Vale covers outdoor cooking gear for KitchenWise. Every piece of camp cookware reviewed here has seen at least two overnight trips, with notes on heat distribution, packability, and durability past the first season. Jordan prioritizes weight-to-performance ratios and avoids recommending gear that looks good in a product photo but fails at a backcountry trailhead.
