Alright, alright, it was a legitimate storm, but not once did we have to snap into survival mode! In fact, at times we got *gasp*….a little bored.
So I cooked, baked and concocted our way to a few pound weight gain over the course of the weekend, and we took LOTS of walks…at times treacherous, at times extremely peaceful, in all weather.
It’s days like these I laugh to myself as city dwellers freak out about rations and fresh water and snowblowers and batteries. I am not playing down their concern, all hikers know preparedness is key, but I love knowing that no matter what happens, survival is not on my list of fears.
If the power goes out, my gas stove/oven will still work. Jackpot! I also have a sweet cherry red Primus tailgate grill setup if we want to get fancy on the back porch.
We’ll be warm and toasty with layers galore and bedding made for the great outdoors…
This could be us..
will hike for food
