Prepare, Adapt & Overcome
When it comes to camping, there are two schools of thought around creating meals:
It’s either,
“Hey, I’m ok being resourceful, so let’s take the minimum and catch or forage everything else!”
Or…
“We’re taking all the best foods we can fit in the cooler! If we catch something, sweet, it’ll be extra! But either way, we’ll eat like kings!”

Often, a better answer is direct, person-to-person radio communications.
Handheld personal radios (a.ka. Walkie Talkies) are dramatically better today than even ten years ago. [Read more…]
