Last snow of the winter, so it seems. Although cold temperatures are still looming, the snow is just about all gone, except for some odd patches. Last week looked like a full-on winter wonderland, while today its but a memory.
The worst part is the ice that forms after a few days making me feel like Bambi on ice, yet less graceful
I like a log-cabin style fire lay when the ground is damp. It competes less with the moisture and cold ground by putting the kindling and fuel above the dampness. It can also be used as a quick way of boiling water while a coal base is being developed.
Around my camp space, the slick ice needed to be broken up enough so I wouldnt slip I used my small hatchet I keep all year around at the camp.
Jambalaya was on the menu
While the food cooked, I tried to adjust my tarp from the stretching it suffered after a heavy snow, but the lines were just too frozen!
Food as it should be done!

Snow can be used to scrub utensils
Once the fire have died down and the coals utilized, it was easy to have a small fire off to one side and cook bacon and sausages over the coals.
