It smelled so good it summoned an actual bear to the dry ass top of this mountain

Flour/butter, beyond sausage, bell peppers, carrots, onion, garlic, some cajun seasoning from cabella's, italian seasoning, serrano peppers, half a bag of frozen walmart shrimp, canned whole tomatoes, 5 minute rice. I was but a humble vegetable chopper/fire tender/ladelsmith so I'm not sure the exact amounts of the ingredients but that was it.

A black bear, thankfully no grizzlies 'round these parts.

Same kind of bears what fucked up that Libertarian town up in New Hampshire
Excellent
And it's New Hampshire
I literally drove past five gun stores during my trip to Vermont
One of which had pictures on the front comparing Joe Biden to Hitler and Stalin
Weird state
Oh hell yeah that rocks. Fashioning barely functioning things out of trash is a favorite camping pastime.
Looks great, there's something about making stew outdoors that hits different
Lmao nah my friend has a rad adventure-mobile and we're not too far from the car.
Looks good! Also cool cast iron pot!
What does the term "forest" in the name refer to? Is that a specific style of gumbo or did you just happen to be camping in a forest or something?
Yup exactly, on a camping trip with a few friends and we're out in some mountains! Though I think we'll probably refer to this general recipe as forest gumbo from now on because it's fun and we'll totally make it again on the next trip.
Nice! Enjoy your vacation. I bet it's really relaxing out there in nature.
Thank you! It's very nice and having enough spare scratch to do this with my friends for a week or two once every year or two is basically the only thing that makes me able to convince myself to keep going to work.
Adapt and overcome. I always forget to bring some essential cooking item while camping. Like 30lbs of food and gear, but then no spatula/spoon/knife/cutting board/french press.
That's around where my Rockies dayhikes max out unless I'm doing a 14er. There's something special about doing breakfast that high on a cliff.

that's my secret captain... I'm always this high :stalin-smokin:
using up 3 cans of gas cuz i need my morning java :rage-cry:
Hell yeah we've been making borderline undrinkable light roast with a french press all week. Hope your shiitake logs are keeping it real btw. Also we drove an hour to a walmart that was like 6 miles away to buy a cutting board a couple days ago.
I had to leave my logs at my last place. They hadn't fruited in over a year so I don't think the scrub oaks I was using were a good species for it.
Cutting boards are the bane of my existence. Always forget them and end up layering pine branches over a rock/log. They're easy to pick off if you cut into them and soft/dense enough to cushion the blade.
Ahh I'm sorry to hear about the logs, I'll always remember them fondly even so. Pine branch cutting board is a good tip, never thought of that. A can opener is probably the thing I've had the hardest time remembering to bring.
I want to do this so bad. Unfortunately anything that smells remotely of taking care of yourself without being dependant on state or commercial infrastructure ist verboten in most of Europe. And I say this absolutely unironically. The loicense meme is very fucking real.
Aw that sucks. There isn't state/public owned wilderness? In the USA temporary occupation of national forest and BLM (bureau of land management) land are paid for in some way by taxes and you can chill there totally legally for a couple weeks though i don't know the exact rules. Canada has crown land which seems roughly similar. You just aren't supposed to start fires if above a certain alert level and you're supposed to go potty a certain distance from water. You usually need permits in national parks and definitely state parks but national forests are pretty chill.
