if it's raining, it's 31F degrees or warmer. which aint all that cold, if you stay DRY and get out of the wind. I take non-cook food, like Koolaid, jerky, flour tortillas, salad dressing, nut butters, jelly, granola, powdered milk. I CAN of course heat up this food if desired, but I rarely bother. Not having to lug around a stove, fuel, mess with a fire, dirty dishes, etc, is well worth the lack of a fire (to me.) I basically only cook if Ive acquired fish or game to eat. while I"m out there. Such foods have to be THOROUGHLY cooked, or they will give you parasites. So I boil such items until they fall apart and then fry or stew them to improve the taste. I wear my bivy as a poncho, so there's very little to do in order to set up "camp". Basically, just hang the hammock, which I made out of a 50x 10 ft, 2' mesh monofilament gill net and wire-pulling tape. Having clear packing tape and duct tape, as well as a very small, soft plastic bottle of goo-gone lets me assemble, and then take apart, my membranes as needed for the conditions at the time. Without the release-agent, youll never get the tape loose from plastic or tyvek, without damaging the underlying materials.
Thank you very much for your suggestions. For me, an open fire or a fire in the stove is almost a must. I enjoy lighting a fire and warming up with it.
@@mrbushcraftr I've done this stuff for-real too many times to consider it to be fun. Today, if i'm in the woods, it's to teach my stepdaughter survival stuff or maybe to try out a new piece of gear, The latter has not happened in years, cause very little stuff gets improved-upon (enough to make me switch) I've always considered such a life to be a shtf sort of thing, so a fire is not feasible unless it's a Dakota fire pit for cooking foraged food, or to heat rocks or water bottles, with which to aid my bedding's ability to keep me warm. I am set up to use a Siberia fire lay (youtube has vids) with a 3x4 ft oval of clear PEVA shower-curtain (wallys) taped over the open end of my reflective tyvek bivy Tape it from t he inside of the bivy and only tape the top half. This lets me use it as a door flap" and the weight of my head holds it tightly shut This gains me about another 10F degrees, as do the hot rocks, However, both of these tricks have to be renewed every few hours. and the Siberian cant be used unless it's either 10F degrees or colder, or i"m in a gully, depression, ring of boulders, or really thick brush. I can "aim" the PEVA at the morning sun and the "greenhouse effect of the PEVA, reflective interior of the tyvek bivy and the sun will warm the bivy by 20F degrees more by 11 am than it was at dawn. The I can sleep until 5-6 pm. I need a sedative to sleep in my bed, have done so for over a decade now. Sleep mask and earplugs are vital, too. Limbs scraping in the wind, frogs, insects and birds can be extremely loud. Take care and enjoy what you can in life, cause there aint all that much of it for most people. or at least, not for very long.
