Sometimes you just need to switch off the news, grab a pan, and head into the woods.
In this video, I’m heading out in the pouring rain to test out a new tarp from Nortent and cook up a simple lunch. It’s been chucking it down non-stop, so finding dry wood for the Lowfi twig stove was a bit of a mission—sometimes you have to go to Plan B.

But this trip wasn't just about the steak (although the Ribeye and Shiitake mushrooms were spot on). I’ve been thinking a lot lately about how fast technology is moving, from AI to the constant doom and gloom on the screens. Honestly? I think I’d rather go back 40 years than forward 40.
