Been doing a lot of cool trips, hiking in Philippines, Jungle in Mexico, took a jungle survival class in the Filipino jungle, went to Las Vegas for SHOT Show, and many short trips on the East coast. I hope I have time to post some trip reports before the next big trip, but for now…!

FOODCRAFT

The temperatures over the last few weeks have been well below freezing, then back to fall like temperatures, with snow making a rare appearance every now and then. However, adventure in food has stayed consistent.



When not in the mood for a big ol fire, I just use my hobo coffee can stoves and some new cookware to make stew, sliders, rice, and chicken.
While in Asia, I scored a cool cook set from a Japanese store made of stainless steel. It just happens to be the lightest stainless steel I’ve ever held. It is still heavy, by my standards, but hey…it was $2.






Chicken Stew




Extra chicken was grilled on the large hobo stove



The double cooker in action. Hot water for coffee and the smaller hobo stove is cooking the stew…




I’m a firm believer in chopsticks. If it can’t be picked up with chopsticks, then it can be sipped by holding the bowl/container. Makes things simple!











SPAM sliders with Hawaiian roll.







Plastic Ribbon cordage is the thing to use in the Philippines…Super strong, unbelievably light and cheap!





Carved this snow fossil






Warming log-cabin fire




The creek was frozen solid…




Chili & Rice



I used the bottom and top tray to cook rice and chili at the same time…sort of!









Mix and enjoy!




Brew!

Great pictures, as always : ).... Do I spot some Porcellio scaber? They look like it. Did they make it into the stew? Crunchy bits...
Anyway, thanks for posting.
 
Spam!!! What's a trip without spam?

Am I the only one that's shocked the chopsticks weren't fashioned in the field???
 
in the field, i find hot dogs, scrambled eggs and baked beans an incredible treat. often i have it in exchange for freshly butchered wild work or venison.
 
Perhaps a cook book is in order.;)

I need one, for myself!

They aren't as easy as you think...let's not get scientific man!

Picture #5 from the bottom up. Looks like Porcellio scaber, but it's hard to say without a size reference. They could be Oniscus asellus? Anyway, I'm sure certain TV survival personalities would eat them right away :D
