It’s 2008, and Facebook is not on most people’s minds. What exists are the old-school forums and the Backpacker forums, which were where all the kids were back then.

When I first started developing trail recipes for the outdoors, our choices were far smaller than they are now. I often used chicken in recipes because it’s a popular protein and relatively affordable. At the time, it was easy to find in cans and pouches, whereas beef and pork weren’t readily available.

I had a “fun” weekend two weekends back. I stepped into a hole our chickens had dug on our homestead and fell hard, landing on my left arm. After a 7-hour ER adventure, I was released in a splint and a sling. And on a lot of painkillers. I am at Day 12 now, and ..read more
