Good for you on that diet. Keep it up!

The eggs, made many a 3 egg omlett with the "Glad Simply Cooking Microwave Steaming Bags". Steam the eggs scrambled up with cheese etc in the bag lowered into about 5 oz of water. Boil/steam that for about 12 - 15 min. Maybe half way knead the bag to mix the contents. Eat them right out of the bag, no residual taste and clean cooking. Also bake bread, muffins, in those bags as well using the steam method.

Also, did some test hanging today via the front porch location. Trying to tune in the underquilts. Full view of the traffic and family inside. Not sure who pointed and laughed the most. hmmm 20 degrees with 30 mph wind gusts and blowing snow. I was plenty warm.

Hey! are we there yet?

Thanks for the cooking tips hobbit . My chili and cauliflower rice spanish rich blah was good in the pot but after dehydrating ewe. in the trash it went. Now I did dehydrate some yams came out good. And the normal vegetable mix. Have some jerky ready some salmon packets a small summer sausage and a small hunk of cheddar. ( not really Paleo but will walk it off )

Now to your hanging nothing wrong with that, I slept in the garage to test gear last year no door no heat wife and daughter came in middle of night for a laugh. Need to build a stand now as camper takes the garage now. Well here's hoping for snow or dry weather for the weekend

Preliminary weather reports for here this weekend looks like highs in the 30s lows in the mid teens, calling for snow for fri and sat but they dont seem like it will be a large quantity. I will pass more info on by Thursday from here.

Hey fellas, I think I have to check this hang out. Might be coming with one extra. No need for an extra food burden. Tarped and split firewood lies within 1/4 mile or so east of the hang site (pretty much straight up hill, though), if we have the the need.

Myteathor, thanks for the response on the YouTube. I will bring my map and pen.

Welcome Maleko will be glad to have you. Well with the weather forcast plan on finding us at the stream on south side of loop. you will come down a draw and see a spring on the right. It is shallow and muddy but gets better down stream. we will be on either side of the stream down along the line will mark trail with reflective clips along the way and campsite with green chemstick for late comers. looking forward to seeing you all Can't Wait
