- A ski across snowy fields to build a fire and cook chilli over an upside-down fire on a beautiful winter day. Join us on the snowy white winter canvas from setting up our campfire to enjoying the delicious kettle of chilli that simmered over the flames all afternoon.
We are grateful to be able to share the peace and beauty of the natural world and welcome all who wish to join us as we venture forth to quietly observe, savour and explore.

Lovely!
Thanks so much! Cheers!
I really appreciate how you always, ALWAYS, wear gloves when prepping wood. I don’t know how many other people notice, but it sets a great “safety-first” example.
None of your videos are narrated, but can teach so much to those who are really paying attention. At the same time, they are extremely calming to more casual viewers.
Thanks for such a kind comment. We are happy to know that the videos convey some sense of calm, regardless of the specifics of our adventures or cooking find nature very relaxing and soothing for the soul and feel that letting nature speak for itself is far more valuable than anything we might have to say. Thanks, again. 🙏
Chili looked great!👊
Thanks! It’s a solid meal for a winter day! Cheers!
Hello guys, such a beautiful setting. Nice to see another video of yours, well done and thank you for sharing.
Great to hear from you and happy to know you enjoyed it. Thanks for watching 😊 Cheers!
You may not get many comments but me and my wife love your videos and the peace they offer while watching keep up the simple videos of just enjoying the outdoors
Thank you so much for the beautiful comment. We really appreciate the encouragement and we will do our best to keep making videos. Thanks again and take good care! Cheers!😊
Great video guys very relaxing yet very informative
Glad you enjoyed it! Cheers!
Nice job on those feather sticks! As usual, the food is always better over on this channel. Makes me want to go cook something, then eat it!
Glad you like them! And glad if you enjoyed the food, as well. Thanks for stopping by & cheers! 😊
I always felt so awkward on cross country skis. Not that snowshoeing is any easier, it just always felt more comfortable for me. Good to see you guys out enjoying the snow and doing your thing. Cheers !
Their Altai Hok skis are in the “trekking ski” category. They are short and wide, have metal edges and built in climbing skins. The bindings pivot up at the front like cross country skis, but they’re designed to fit whatever boots you choose to wear, like a snowshoe would. Thus, you can stay in one boot for the entire day as you go from ski to Microspikes, to bare boot. They are designed to be a single option that merges the best of snowshoes and skis into one, when the terrain you’re going through isn’t groomed and may not even have developed trails. Being shorter, they are less awkward, for sure.
As winters get warmer, with more rain and uneven snow, these skis start to make a lot more sense for the backcountry traveller.
Other companies have gotten into the trekking ski game, such as Black Diamond with their GlideLite series.
@@andymytys awesome info…..thanks. 👍
WOW!..... I don't understand how you not have 100k subs, mate.
You tube's mysteries🥺.
Big bear hugs from Asturias, brother! 🐻🫶
Wow, thank you! RUclips is definitely a mystery at times. 😁 Hope you are doing well! Cheers from Canada! 🇨🇦😊
Excellent video Dan/Nancy,,,,
Definitely looks like Y’all enjoy your meal on the spicy side,👍
Where did You get the Oval / long handled cook pan,, second time that I’ve seen it used.,, what brand is it. I hear Y’all got a set of the Firebox cast iron pans. Really looking forward to seeing what creative ways of cooking Y’all can come up with. No Snow in Virginia this year,,😢. Blessings to Y’all and Your Family,,,, Joshua
Hi Joshua! Great to hear from you! Just released a video from our first outing with the cast iron pans. 'Had a little fun with them in the woods last weekend 😁.. and we were fortunate to still have snow on the grounds but certainly had far less this year than we often do in winter.
The oval pan came from a local thrift store many years ago. We bought it to use with our Coleman camp stove and it has become a beloved camp pan. Unfortunately it has no indication of manufacture on it but we have speculated that maybe it is European given the angle of the handle. Regardless, the long handle makes it fantastic for the fire.
Hope you and family are all doing great! Thanks for stopping by and cheers! 😊
I’m interested in what spices you typically take with you on trips. Do you cater your kit for what you’re going to be cooking, or carry a general spice kit.
I’ve found Nalgene 1/2, 1, and 2 oz leakproof containers and they’re perfect for spices - a little goes a LONG way, and they save weight when compared to glass, which in general is a material I try to avoid taking into the backcountry.
My standard spice kit consists of salt, black pepper, red pepper, tahini, Italian seasoning, garlic powder, brown sugar, and curry. I also pack fresh additives like garlic gloves, ginger root, jalapeño.
Hi Andrew, We carry salt, black pepper, red pepper, oregano, sugar, and dehydrated salted herbs (herbs salé) as standard issue. A bulb or a few cloves of garlic are pretty standard, too. Other spices tend to vary depending on what we plan to make. When we make up our dehydrated meals for multi-day treks, we vacuum seal the spices in with the meal. Your base kit is sounds great. Do you always keep your spices in Nalgene containers?
We have had disappointing experiences with the Nalgene products not sealing well so we have a variety of "salvaged" containers that we use. The little glass jars are mostly when we are within walking distance of home. Glass is certainly not ideal in the backcountry, not the least because of the risk of breakage. Thanks for watching! Cheers!
P.S.,,, Do you two camp overnight, when filming,,?? Or is it mostly a day hike. You’ve got a couple of late night cooking videos,,,, I figured you probably slept over on site,,,
It varies... We campout as often as we can (usually hammock camping) although not as often as we might like (kids are all getting older but they still seem to want us around sometimes 😁 😉).
