Re-Look at my Cook Kit~~~

Just knowing you're out there doing your thing makes me a little less uneasy. National bloomin' treasure.

Glad to hear. Nice to have stove-play

Always enjoy the stove/cooking videos above all

[@shugemery]

Used to do a lot but now I just use the Fancee Feest stove. Found my groove.

[@TimOlsen66]

I'd love to see the tarp and hammock lit up at night with those cute little lights you got there, Shug 😜

[@shugemery]

It is alike a disco! Those are ENO lights. For yard or car camp only.

[@christoole6820]

I like the idea of running a stuff sack on your ridge line of the hammock. I might try this to put stuff I might need in the night or just for my gear at camp.

[@shugemery]

It is handy.

[@hotdraank698]

Brian Wofford here with HotDraank, you have put together another great video. It held my attention the entire time. I enjoy most of your videos!

Thank you.....///I too sorta-kinda enjoy doing most of mine.

Shoulder is mending and 3rd PT today. Sling free most of the day. Not 100%....still stiff.

[@timwarneka5681]

Thanks for the video, sir. Funny story time! I, too, copied your cook kit and love it. (Minor modifications: (1) I tried making a Foster's beer can cup. Failed twice. Replaced that with a tin can cup with a silicon wrist-band lip protector and holder. (2) I can never find level ground when I camp. So I also added wire mesh pot holder to help support the 'feest alcohol stove.) Tested it at home several times by boiling water. Here's the fun part -- took the cook kit out for the first time this past weekend. Brought a sandwich for a cold dinner. Set the (unused) cook kit & bag on a rock by the fire pit so it would be ready to cook breakfast and tea in the AM. Slept well in my new WB hammock (thanks for the recommendation, Shug!). Got up. MY. COOK. KIT. WAS. GONE!. I can only surmise that an animal absconded with it! I'm new to hammock camping, but I have backpacked for years. I've never had my cook kit touched. Lesson learned. FROM NOW ON, KIDS, HANG YOUR COOK KIT WITH YOUR FOOD BAG.

I've had my spoon taken by a varmint! Never leave it out now. Live and learn...right???

Anyway keep on keeping on Shug, all the best.

Not sure there is a "better." I think it may be about 50/50 on that. Personally I would start North and go South. The North end is just a small trailhead way in the woods. More food and life on the South end. Check the SHT website for more info on that though.
