My time in the wilderness is priceless to my peace of mind. Taking some time out for myself, time to think, time to reflect on what I'm getting right, and time to consider what I could be doing better. Time away from distraction. Time spent tending to the basics like staying warm, dry, feeding myself--all the while being aware of my surroundings, knowing full well that predators could be near. There's something about knowing that it's all up to you and what you have on your back to get by in nature--which can be so beautiful and calm but can also be completely ruthless. Mother nature doesn't care if you get hypothermia, slip and break your leg, or get eaten by a bear--hell, she won't even notice that you were there. The wilderness is a place of extremes, from the beauty, to the potential risks--it's all there in spades, so decisions need to be well considered. Time in this environment builds self confidence as well as self awareness. On this trip I didn't have the best of luck trout fishing--caught a nice cutty, but had to release it because of that particular lakes restriction. I later caught another cutthroat that I could keep and eat for dinner--grilled, then enjoyed over a bed of sushi rice with garlic, lemon, pepper sauce. I also used the Coffey Spit to flame broil a beautiful Ribeye steak to perfection. For breakfast, I shocked everyone by eating healthy (healthy by my standards) with a kale and bacon frittata. Everything cooked on the original, and still by far the best, wood burning camp stove--the 5" G2 Firebox Campfire Stove.
