    Yes, it is very easy to lose track of time when trying to cook & tend to a campfire.

      "Recipe development" sounds like a pretty good excuse to keep camping 😏

    I miss those Arizona 🌇 sunsets. I love watching the sunset on Thumb Butte.

    Thanks for the wild plant education in your vids. I know a few of the edible & medicinal plants here in the southwest, but it's always good to learn more. 🌿Bummer your spoon busted mid-mac & cheese production. A backpacker's long handled titanium spoon would last you a lifetime on your camping forays; love mine! 🌈🏞️ Happy Trails.

      Welcome! There's a bunch more plant nerdery near the beginning of this video: th-cam.com/video/7CN8e31Y13o/w-d-xo.html
      I'll put that spoon on my wishlist. For now, I've been using a folding spoon/fork/knife/corkscrew thingie that I was gifted long ago.

    The thing with that type of pour over (having spilled MANY times, myself!) is that it does this when your cup is too wide. You need a cup that’s got a smaller opening so the filter holder rests entirely, not the edge/lip. Try a smaller diameter cup if you’ve got one 😉 and those just add water meals are already precooked, I’ve made the same mistake of thinking “cook” when it’s really just “rehydrate.”
    I miss Gunther in all your earlier videos! he sure is a little companion! Great video-as always!thanks!

      I ended up getting a wider filter rather than a smaller cup, because MORE coffee! 😆

    I wonder if you would be willing to (or if you already have) do a video with a voiceover, telling how you set up camp? Like, what steps you go through and how you decide where to put things? I'm a newbie and I think this would be super helpful!

    • @ShoestringMartha
      @ShoestringMartha  หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      That's a tough one, because I don't really have a system. It just depends on the site, the conditions, how I feel that day, and also taking filming into consideration. I set up my hangout spot where it's private, quiet, and the views are nice. If there's weather on the horizon, I set up my kitchen where it's sheltered from rain or wind. That's the gist of it, but I'll try and explain my thinking in future videos.

    My wife and I have been enjoying all your videos. Keep posting them! The bird you labeled as a green Kingfisher, I think it is a night heron. Possibly a Green Heron.
    Thanks again.

      It truly was! Very calm and relaxing. There were a couple rigs nearby, but the people rarely came out, and when they did, they were very quiet and respectful of others' peace.

    i have done the samething to mac& cheese experimenting in the kitchen. on how to do the same dish in the field with the same items. need to use more water and boiling water is needed. so you cook the mac the same as normal. no mush result.
