Few cooking utensils are necessary. One can do much with an ordinary lard pail; a frying pan is a good addition,
What if I only have an extraordinary lard pail?

You didn't read all of it. See trip report by Robert Collier, jr. "Number in party, 27; 15 women, 12 men, and a dog."

"In this book an attempt will be made to suggest the most suitable equipment and clothing, but the fact remains that mountain climbing as a pastime requires less expensive equipment and paraphernalia than almost any other form of sport. The oldest and stoutest clothes one happens to possess are about all the necessary outfit needed. "
