It’s the little details that change “good” to “great”, especially in preparing and serving food. I have some Biscuit and Gravy tips for you to try on the trail or in the kitchen. I am off work today so I thought I would recreate a great BWCA camp breakfast in the comfort of our ownContinue reading “Biscuits and Gravy Tweaks”

Fishing is always good
Sometimes the catching is good as well. I am happy to represent truth in this statement. I have a natural bent for life on the water and in the woods. The more remote the better. Maybe parts of our DNA bent are like-minded you and I. Maybe not! Maybe you think my DNA is aContinue reading “Fishing is always good”
A Take on Time
I’m on vacation. We traveled a few states away to abscam four of our grandkids for awhile and be an ever so small influence. wide open spaces, lakes and forests is our abode. They live in town. We watched mama with 4 cubs for an hour with them in front of the house. We wentContinue reading “A Take on Time”
Wilderness Food Planning for the unorganized (like I should talk)
I was in the grocery store for a couple hours (seemed like) with a cart load of camping food and my cart disappeared. It was just gone. I found it two isles over being pushed by a very small elderly women with a friend pushing a similar cart. They were shopping together. When I askedContinue reading “Wilderness Food Planning for the unorganized (like I should talk)”
A Distracted Mind
I get distracted easily. Well I really don’t, but my mind wanders into every nook and cranny around. Once in awhile my mind goes off on an imaginary journey if I don’t keep it on a short leash. Focus Gary, focus! I began making too many mistakes at work so someone took it upon themContinue reading “A Distracted Mind”
Images: One Frosty Morning

The emotion of a moment is never lost; it’sContinue reading “Images: One Frosty Morning”
Snow day
It’s a very nice day to stay home, stay inside, lounge, drink coffee and make plans with my wife for the year. After a solid morning of much coffee and good talks I’m thinking cabin fever is highly overrated! I guess I only thought staying in a cozy cabin in Alaska for the winter wouldContinue reading “Snow day”
Wintering the Weather
I know, it’s the other way around but sometimes having moments of lysdexia can be advantaged. I took some photos from inside my sons house while visiting northern Minnesota at -50 below zero fahrenheit (wind chill as it was really only -34). My budding Picasso wannabe grandson created a perfect picture which could describe theContinue reading “Wintering the Weather”
Have a Great Christmas To You All Around The World
To all you readers and fellow bloggers, Merry Christmas from the frozen lakes areas of northern United States. The sun is a bit inconspicuous through the cab and the trees as it sets over the small lake I was fishing. A safe 7″ of ice with the fold up shelter allowed me to see 9Continue reading “Have a Great Christmas To You All Around The World”
Get Yourself Out There!
It’s winter here. Quite a ways below freezing and the winter wonderland lies just outside. I cheated a bit and took a few pictures out the window from the comfort of home between sips of strong morning coffee. Here have a look… I can still hear my mother telling us when we were little kidsContinue reading “Get Yourself Out There!”
