  • I'm camping high in the Sierras just south of Lake Tahoe in a beautiful meadow.
    I go for a hike, high in the Sierras, near Silver Lake. This is such an amazing place. The hike is the Granite Lake loop which goes past Amy Lake. However, I made a huge mistake on the trail. I will never make it again!
    Then I head back to camp and make dinner. Really wanted a steak to celebrate my mouth healing up, steak and potatoes it is.

    Put a life straw or something equivalent in the bottom of your pack. Even if you have an emergency or get lost for a week, you will still have water.

      But don't use where you see blue green algae. It doesn't remove the toxin. I don't believe any of the filters do.

      I could agree more. Try the tablets they sale, they don't take up any room. And do you carry bear spray. I'm always wondering cause there's bears and mountain lions. I just don't want anything to happen to you.

Also, am surprised you had cell signal to find your way out. Please be careful. We care about you.

      It's a pretty short hike that most people do in a couple of hours. I was probably up there for 4 hours with all my filming and just enjoying sitting by the lake. So not a big deal but definitely a good chance to learn a lesson before I do a much longer and strenuous hike.

    You might want to take a chance on our favorite red meat seasoning.....Brand: Lindberg and Snider....."Porterhouse & Roast Seasoning". We buy this at Raley's. This is the BEST so far. When cooking our favorite steak or Try-Tip, we also add a bit more salt and pepper too. We try to leave the meat out to get close to room temperature if possible. Pan Frying does work well. When we pan fry, I drag out the old cast iron skillet, heat it up very hot....a few minutes on each side, then, heat down and finish off to the desired redness. ......Hope this helps. Yes, I enjoy all your videos. ......Russell D.

    • @BexCatherder
      @BexCatherder  2 года назад +1

      I might have to look for that. I don't cook steak very often and I don't think I do a very good job, so I definitely need to improve. But I can cook a tasty pork chop. :-)

    • @KB6YAF
      @KB6YAF 2 года назад +1

      @@BexCatherder Also, in my limited experience, that grass fed beef is not nearly as tasty as the USDA choice or prime. Buying prepackaged food is certainly more convenient but often a lot more expensive. With my veggies, I cut and chop what I need, then place the leftovers in a zip lock or double zip lock baggie, then back into the cooler. Real potatoes can be stored in a cool place that will keep for a longer period of time too. ....Hope this gives you more ideas......Russell D.
