Off-Grid Cooking Methods That Could Save Your Life

 

 

Today I’ll be talking about Off-grid cooking methods. I tried to break it down into the root methods used. 

They are wood, alcohol, charcoal, gas, Solar, and esbit tabs.

I dig into different ways to use the various cooking methods and their strengths and weaknesses. 

I tell you why some of these methods are better depending on what season it is. And why some are better for the home of hiking. 

Butane does not perform well under freezing conditions. So in northern winters, they are not an option for you. 

And if you live in a desert a wood burning stove is not for you. 

For backpacking trips, a heavy stove is not practical but would work great in a home power outage.

What is your favorite Off-grid cooking method? Let me know in the comments!

Summer Survival Projects And Goals | episode 181

 

This week Mike and I talk about Summer Survival Projects And Goals. Mine specifically but with a few recommendations as well. 

Summer is really my favorite season. It’s the season I like to be outside the most. 

All over social media, you will see people loving on Fall as the best season. With their hoodies and pumpkin spice lattes. 

To me, summer is the season for getting outside and enjoying it. 

We talk about my garden procrastination this year and how I will mostly be putting in trees and looking to some fall gardening. 

We talk about my plans to build an outdoor kitchen and why you should build one too. 

We talk about getting out and doing some hiking finally. 

And much more.
