  • In this video I finally accept that the PNW weather is not going anywhere and I camp in the rain. I make mac n cheese grilled cheese on the back of my car. In the morning I make a latte!

    New sub here. This was a nice little car camp. I sleep in my car when hiking and generally adventuring somewhere. I love the sound of rain on the car roof, I find it’s like white noise. Mac & cheese looked awesome. Take care and greetings from the UK.

      @@lifeinmyelement I’m currently living in a Vauxall Zafira, I took the back bench seats out, put a mattress in and it’s like a mini camper now. I love the freedom of living out of a car, and living costs are super low. It’s tougher now the weather has turned here in the UK but looking forward to better weather next year. Do you live out of your car full time?

    There’s something so soothing about being out in the rain sometimes….
    Especially when camping and your nice and dry and comfy…
    Loved your grilled Mac and cheese mess…lol Looked tasty! 😁
    On the other side of the Atlantic, there’s a young lady name Claire (Wildbeare) that does wilderness camping videos.
    More often than not, she’s out in inclement weather testing all sorts of gear and like you, she’ll always bright and cheerful.
    You should check her out sometime when your just chillin’. (But I doubt you’ll ever see this…) Stay Safe, love your posts…TC 😎

It happened to a friend , the candle was on a cabinet in the living room , the cinder (from the nite before) landed on a stack of magazines and just smoldered until after they left for work, about mid-morning it turned serious.

    The classic KD can be improved upon greatly with a few additions but -- Annie's for the most part is a lot better. $1 to $1.50 more per box though. If not more depending where you are. I tend to wait for the 12 pack of KD to go on sale and then stock up.
    HOWEVER, nothing beats purely homemade Mac n Cheese with whatever noodles you desire and a homemade cheese sauce started with a roux and completed with the proper cheeses. Also steamed cauliflower added is pretty damn good.
