Solo Winter Backcountry Camping & Campfire Cooking

  • During a snowy, windy, and cold January weekend I spend the night in the wilderness of Alberta, Canada.
    I locate my camp in an area that is thick with willow shrubs and evergreen trees to help block the wind. Setting up an open tarp-shelter allows me to keep a fire going all night which aids in keeping me warm. I cook up a garlic butter shrimp fried rice dish for supper, then finish with a mini apple cobbler dessert.
    I sleep peacefully next to my fire, and under two wool blankets stay pleasantly warm.
    In the morning I cook a bacon and egg baked potato for breakfast before packing up my camp and returning home.
    Thanks to all who watch, I appreciate your support.

    First time I watched your channel - impressed with your healthy real food cooking and the no sound. Enjoyable to watch - and very different from camping in New Zealand where I only get to see snow on the distant hilltops during winter storms and maybe get a little frost on my tarp.

    Happiness is not something ready made. It comes from your own actions.

    I love this kind of trip in life. I really love how you go solo in travelling and see what happens. To figure out life is one of the best experience.

    So simple, but I'm sure it was so good. The wood fire makes the difference! You make it look easy.
