The class would be gathering outside the school again, where Gladio was surrounded by some equipment, supplies, and an Ignis. "Alright," he started, "so. Obviously, we've covered a few things about sustinence in this class. Forgaging, fishing, how to make sure you have clean water. And there's always things like making sure you've got a good supply of ration. And that's all well and good and will keep you kicking in the wilderness for a while, but just because you're out in the woods doesn't mean you can't at least eat well...or at least halfway decently. So that's why I've got my buddy Ignis here today," he clapped a hand on Ignis' shoulder, rough enough that the other man's torso was pushed forward a little, and he shot Gladio a less than impressed look as he adjusted his glasses, and Gladio just grinning, "to help us out. This guy's a master at camp cooking, and he's going to show you a few easy meals that don't even require a lot of equipment to make when you're out camping.

"But first," his grin was now all for the students, "we've got to get there, of course. So everyone, grab a bag, grab two if you're feeling amibitious, and let's head out. You know the drill!"

With food!

Grab some equipment, grab some supplies, and start heading out to the camping spot in the preserve. Good time to chat with your classmates, ask questions if you've got them, or just enjoy the familiar scene of the preserve as you've hiked through it many times before and wonder if the bag you picked up is filled with rocks and not just potatoes.

And once they arrived at the camp site and everyone could get their fires going, Ignis began his lesson in earnest.

"When it comes to cooking in the wild," he began, "you generally want to keep your ingredients simple, portable, and sustainable, and there are two things in particular that will be incredibly useful. One is simply this...alluminum foil. Foil packet meals are incredibly easy. All you have to do is wrap your ingredients, some oil, seasonings if you're feeling particularly fancy, in the foil, and then set it within your campfire, where it will all cook as if in an oven. And the other, which is a bit more burdensome to carry about to camp, will be a Dutch oven, which is a heavy-duty cooking pot, usually of cast iron, that will expand your culinary option considerably and will be very good for use in a fire.

"So today, I'll be teaching you a campfire chili and simple campfire foil pack, although I encourage you, if you feel so inclined, to get a little creative with your own, as they can be very versatile. First things first, let's find out in which of these bags Gladio has hidden our supplies, and then we can get started."

Two of them today! Because a class about campfire cooking at Gladio's hands would literally just be 'sometimes you can add fresh veg to your Cup Noodle^TM and really make it pop!'

And it's not like Ignis would ever turn down an opportunity to do cook something

While Gladio is not at all wondering if Dutch oven Cup Noodles^TM could be a thing...

Alara had definitely picked up two bags to help carry and was not bothered at all by how heavy they were, she was actually quite enjoying the challenge of carrying them and was rather tempted to pick up a third bag as well.
