    28 Day Fire Challenge
    This is my self-imposed challenge to get out everyday and sit around a campfire. Sometimes, it's pretty hard to set time aside on a busy day to get outside, but if you make the time, MAKE the time, it can happen! This is when those A-HA moments happen, when you're intentional about how to you want to live your life. A simple campfire, on a busy morning.... can really set your day in the right direction!
    Coffee and instant oatmeal. A blazing fire. Life is good!
    Get outside and get happy!

    Maple and brown sugar, little butter and COFFEE. I with you that is my simple go to breakfast too. Dave showed the weather you folks are having over there. We are getting rain and snow out West but nothing like you folks. We had our "snow apocalypse in 2017." Fairly mild winter this year, means for hot summer. Be safe, be warm, and "be happy."

    Hey Brooke.
    Just got back from a fun camping trip in the woods, apart from having to remind my daughter 853 times not to poke the fire.
    Oh the joys of parenthood. But the weather was glorious, best warm sunshine iv'e ever known in February.
    I cant believe you got to your camp at 6am, that's dedication. The finish line is in site now for sure, its likely it wont be posted till the first of march. But don't worry if that's the case, in fact declaring victory on the first of march makes more sense.
    You will have had 28 campfires to my one, two if you count relighting in the morning.
    Catch you tomorrow.
    Gary.

    I like to melt a pad of butter on my oatmeal, along with some maple syrup if it's just plain oatmeal. #24 campfire should be real interesting. If you have't done it yet, see if you can get some shots of the wind blowing in the trees. But be careful out there. Hope the power stays on. Thanks.

    well you do have a point. that poem was a good one.. now to oatmeal.. for a long time my favorite is old fashion oats with just a banana in it.. you get your oatmeal cooked then slice a banana in to it and let the banana slices get hot in the oat meal.. NO added sugar and tastes great.. i it was my fiber medicine for a couple of years after my heart attack. Now i make it with cinnamon, brown sugar and craisons. really nice, some times i use pumpkin pie spice in there for some more fun..

    Hey Brooke Nicely done! When I used to eat oatmeal, I'd boil some raisins in water then add quick oats and top it off with a little brown sugar. I think that glyphosate(Roundup) levels in the oats available today, is problematic. It is for me anyways; but that's another story. An awesome "short" one today "Pay attention, Be amazed, Tell about it". I think that one will be traveling with me for a while. Thanks for doing this every day, you are an inspiration to a lot of us. Before I was just going through the motions when I was out for a hike each day. Not any more! Now it's taking in all of the wonderment that's out there, no matter where you're at.
    So, thanks! I know it can't be easy.

    @jukingeo 2 года назад

    Nice! Coming out really early and it is still dark! Question...How long is your hike out to the shelter site? I always liked your shelter site best for your cookouts. It looks cozier. 2:15 Yeah, you are definitely going to need that pyramid shaped mug I was talking about. That orange thing you are using is just too accident prone. Either that or make a cup holder for it so it is held steady while you have the coffee filter on it. 3:30 Well, I have never prepared oatmeal on a campfire, but I DO make it for breakfast from time to time. 4:26 Hey, it's simple, but it works for me!

    Maple and brown sugar is probably my favorite, but apples and cinnamon is a close second. Maple reminds me of the Northwoods. I put one of those silicone boot thingys on the bottom of my Hydroflask tumbler, and now it's less stable than it was to begin with. But at least the bottom is protected.....because I guess that I felt that it needed protection...? Thank goodness for the sealing lid, which I've learned to keep closed!

    My favorite overnight oats recipe.
    Ingredients
    1/3 cup Rolled Oats1 tsp Chia Seeds1/2 tsp Ground Cinnamon1/4 cup Chopped fruit pieces peaches1/2 cup Almond Milk or dairy milk1 tsp Sweetener honey, brown sugar, or agave nectar
    Instructions
    In a pre-washed 8 oz mason jar, dump the rolled oats at the bottom. Add the chia seeds, ground cinnamon, and chopped fruit pieces on top.
    In a mixing cup, combine the milk with the sweetener of choice. Mix well and pour on top of the fruit. Cover tightly with mason jar lid and shake well until contents are evenly distributed.
    Repeat these steps until all 8 mason jars are prepped. Set in the fridge to soak overnight.
    In the morning, grab and eat cold or simply warm up in the microwave for 40-60 seconds (make sure to take the lid off or transfer to small bowl).
