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!

Freezing rain last night and couldn't make it to the library to upload! ICE! So here's your day 23 vid a day late. And head's up.... there's a blizzard warning now- today's vid might not come out later today! Thanks for sticking with me!
Thank your for taking the time to make a video for us. Don't worry if your not on time with videos. We just appreciate what you do.
You Mean, Stickin To Ya, Like A Wet Tongue On Icy-Cold Metals...Ahhh... LMAO
Where are you from? Upper or lower is all I need to know..
You guys are probably getting the same weather system that ruined my Friday night overnighter plans!
Yeah...we're looking at 75 mph gusts here on the shore of lake Ontario.
Stay safe out there, all!
Brooke, you have done a super job with your self imposed challenge. Good early morning fire, and the coffee is always a welcome thing!
I know that this has been a LOT of work to keep your schedule for the (28) days of fire and food! I know that with making the effort to get out into the woods and to do all of your video work, you have been one busy girl! Thanks for turning all of us on to Mary Oliver's poems.
thank you. it has.
raisins & spice....beautiful fire this morning....and got to have that coffee...
Short but sweet. You did what you challenged yourself to do. You rock.
Hey Brooke, Thanks for sharing and making the effort to have even s brief moment and fire with us. 🌝
Pat the ‘woof’ for me. Love those Collies.
My fav oatmeal is made with Bob’s Red Mill gluten free oats,
Boil water
Add oats
The add any or all of the following:
A touch of cinnamon
Nuts-walnuts are my fav
Raisins or dried cranberries
Real maple syrup - just a little
Vanilla
Coconut
Isn't it awesome just how much there is to be "amazed" by in creation? The fire looked great, there in the dark! I've been an amateur astronomer since I was a kid ... and dark skies never fail to put on a show for me :) Be safe, Brooke ... thanks for sharing. God Bless
Brooke, my husband says your tougher than woodpecker lips😂😂😂 I agree, I’m much older but your such an inspiration! God bless you and yours😇😇😇
Slow cooked oatmeal ; with lot's of butter, little salt, enough sugar, generous amount of cream, and a heap of blueberries mixed in! Yummy for the tummy!
P.s. Yet another most excellent adventure with Girl-In-The -Woods ; and Da Woof! ...cool beans!
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."
Early morning trek into the woods for a fire. Fantastic!
Thank you Brooke
Maple and brown sugar with flex seeds is my favorite. Thank you for your videos. They have been helping me through my recovery. Just had surgery on Feb. 19th. The poems every day help me smile.
hang in there!
Adding raisins brown sugar and walnuts is the best in oatmeal!
Bless your soul Brooke. These videos can't be easy to do. There's nothing like a bowl of hot yummy oatmeal on a cold blustery day. I hope you stay safe, and warm with the Blizzard warnings. We have them here too! Extreme wind, and snow squall warnings. This should be interesting.
Thanks for sticking with us!! I'm glad you got your coffee. That was close!
Simple works for me, love the glow from your fire.
Appreciate you getting up early to keep your 28 day vow! Have enjoyed every day, laughs, food & scenery AND Maysie. The oatmeal also tastes great with a few walnut pieces & raisins. Be well & God bless. Barb
Hey Brooke, Nice quick video today. It's ok if you are late or miss a day, we still love you and your videos!❤️❤️ When I was growing up my father would have me eat oatmeal dry for breakfast, said it would make me tuff, he was right!👍🏻👍🏻✌🏻️
Maple brown sugar oatmeal rocks ! And yeah that fire looks awesome .. your awesome ...Mary Oliver rocks too
Beautiful flames. 🔥
My favorite instant oatmeal is to mix a pack of maple brown sugar w/ a banana & cream pack. Yum!
Beautiful video & scenery.... makes me wanna be outdoors
do it!
That was a really good one and the best way to live every day!!!
Nice save on the coffee!
Beautiful fire so early in the morn! Be safe!
Maple and Brown Sugar, for sure. I have it every morning... even at home. I think I may (by default) own stock in Quaker Oats. Oats, a banana and a slice of wheat with peanut butter. Always a great start of everyday.
I like peach oatmeal. I have it all the time. Maple & brown sugar is my 2nd favorite. Thanks Brook. Enjoy your day!
I had a full day myself as it was my 70th B-day. My go to is oatmeal with raisins, cinnamon, brown sugar, and nutmeg. top with milk and a side of hot coffee. I missed this video for the above reasons but was glad to catch up. Hang tough and see you in the woods. Light the fire and warm up.
happy b day!
I do oatmeal with raisins,peanut butter and honey🤗🇺🇸 have a wonderful day 🙂
I like it 2 ways. 1. brown sugar , cinnamon, frozen wild blueberries with walnuts. 2. maple brown sugar, banana and PB2 powder, walnuts. : )I'm 54 and have always hated oatmeal.......until 6 months ago. Now I love it!
Good for you like oatmeal to just taking the trax train and listening to music today enjoying it👍
I hate sugary instant oatmeal it's way too sweet I love to make it with raisins a little brown sugar, and butter got to have the butter...
Brooke, Oatmeal! Awesome video. I like steel cut 5 minute oatmeal. I add fruit, nuts and honey to my oatmeal.
mmmm steel cut
That is crazy to be out that early in the morning and I hope you had a nice Saturday there and all is fine with the family.
i love apple cinnamon. yum. love instant oatmeal. quick and yummy.
Stare into the fire, Brooke. I love oatmeal with some brown sugar and a touch of milk. We got the high winds today in the middle of the Mitten. Can't wait for warm weather:)
My favorite (and ONLY) oatmeal is Hodgson Mill Oat Bran. I will eat no other.
Maple and brown sugar is the best. I like a spoonful of peanut butter as well. Yummy
Love cream of wheat, not oatmeal so much but a warm breakfast does the trick!!
Looks GREAT Brooke. Love the early morning campfires before the world get loud and busy. What about honey in that oatmeal. LOL. From the Arrowhead.
Maple and brown sugar also. next time, while your oatmeal is good and hot, stir in about a tablespoon of peanut butter and have it with toast. Yummy! Jim
Love maple and brown sugar!! My favorite too...
I put blueberries,walnuts, chia seeds and Carrington Farms - Organic Coconut Protein Powder Blend in plain no sugar added oatmeal .
Awesome and thanks for sharing.
Hoping you have a blessed day 👍
I like brown sugar,butter,dates,raisins, and walnuts in my oatmeal.Light it up Brooke !
Yumm I love apple cinnamon oatmeal mixed with plain oatmeal. Yeap thats my wintertime go to belly warmer. ✌💙🐾
I mix ground flaxseed with my instant oatmeal & add raisins & sunflower seeds. This is one of my go to foods at campfires 🔥 especially winter meals. Thanx once again for a great outdoor vid..........Stay safe & warm.......👍👍🔥🔥🇺🇸🇺🇸
Maple brown sugar oatmeal love it.👍👍
Instant oatmeal brown sugar and scoop of creamy peanut butter. 👍👍🍜
Hello Brooke, it's good to see you today. The Quaker Oat company now makes a low sugar instant oatmeal. I always add raisins bananas or whatever fresh fruit is in season. Take care, be safe, have fun and see you on the next one.
🤗
Simple is the way to go. Thanks for sharing
oatmeal, the cereal that keeps you going.
we having high winds today of 30 to 40 mph with gust of 50 and 60 mph batten down your hatches, but hope you dont get'em. have a great day.
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.
aweosme!
I like putting dried cranberries or blueberries in my oatmeal, and maybe some crushed hazelnuts.
Hit the button too soon .....
After the additions are made and the water is boiling , cover, remove from fire and let it continue to cook while Then fixing Bacon and biscuits 🌝🌝. I know. Not simple like your breakfast this morning, but had to get bacon in there somehow!!!!!
Hope you have been safe and warm during the ice storm that I saw on your hubby’s channel.
Blessings to all of you.
You’re such a trouper coming out in the dark at such a silly hour!! Hope the weather isn’t as bad as predicted. Take care. I held my breath while you made the coffee! 👍😀☕️
Yep I give her credit she's hanging in there
Sweet simplicity.Can't go wrong with coffee and oatmeal. We appreciate your perseverance. Spring will be here before you know it. Have a beautiful day!
We fix our oatmeal the same way , but I like my coffee black.
Hello From Corpus Christi Texas My Friend !! 👋 Awesome Video love Oatmeal !! ✨👍🥰😀🐶👋🔥👌
Coffee + Oatmeal = Heartburn city, for me. But sounds delicious.
👍👍
Hi Brooke. Hope you're doing well. God bless you!
Girl in the Woods : Yes , the sweet smell of fresh brewed coffee over an open flame !..... Hopefully topped up with a shot of your homemade Apple Brandy ~ To warm the heart on a cold winter morn !!!! *Peace + Light Always !!! Thanks Scarboro
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.
mmmmm yum
Stable coffee making platform means happy Brooke. 😁😁😁
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..
mmmm
Perfect! ☺
Great vid Brooke, and so you know I did indeed have Reuben's for dinner last night and one for breakfast this morning lol!👍👍👍😃🔥
nice
Blueberry and cream instant oatmeal with flaxseed♡♡♡♡♡♡
Maple and brown sugar oatmeal is the best
Plain instant oatmeal with brown sugar, peaches and pecans. Make it at work every day.
I really love the super grains honey and coconut ones!! They have more in the packets and are soo much less sweet! Yumm
2:45😳wow that was close. 👍👍
Thank You, Brooke!!!! I Love coffee and oatmeal! and thank you for your extreme effort here!
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.
nice!
I love peaches and cream oatmeal
Regular oatmeal, not instant, with sliced bananas & maple syrup! Yum!
You’re brave!
I am in Minnesota and all our junk is heading your way. So I wondered how you were going to be able to be out in this weather. 50 mile winds are blowing vehicles all over. Just be safe and know we understand. You are doing great. Thanks
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!
I need to get one of those simple grills. Seems like it's perfect.
I ate outmeal every morning for ten years straight(now it's one egg). I didn't catch what you have, but that sugary kid stuff instant is awful.
i have it in my amazon affiliate store- link in description!
My favorite thing about Simple is... it's not Complicated.
amen
Thanks 😍😍✨
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!
nice
you did good love your challenge !!!
Hey Brooke another good video thanks again and how did you make out with the storm hopefully nothing happened hopefully the power stayed on for all of you
We are suddenly having winter here in Massachusetts. We have had a lot of rain in the fall. On the real damp cold days, I would wonder what the native Americans would do. Apparently, they made birch bark and other types of bark structures!
wikiups
Nice!
I absolutely commend you on your perseverance! Well done Brooke. That's why you called this a challenge, because it certainly is. I'm not looking forward to these videos coming to an end though. What will I do then????
thank you!
Maple and brown sugar with walnuts!!
I really like you and Dave, I learn so much from your videos and your attitude toward life. YOU GUYS ARE AWESOME!!!
thanks much!
I like to throw in craisins and either walnuts or pecans with my instant oatmeal. That is when I'm not having eggs & sausage. : )
Beautiful!
My Favorite Oatmeal Is, My Famous Cake Like Oatmeal Cookies w/Chray-sins, Dark Chocolate Mini-Chips, Sliced Almonds & Walnut-Bits...Mmmm! Thanks Trooper Girl...
We need to get bushcrafting BEYOND wood processing and cooking food scenes.
This is the second time you've made that comment on my channel. Why are you here?
I'm not... anymore. I've seen enough of the re-runs.
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).
mmmmmm
