New coffee to try from Patrick DuBose and Forrest Edge Coffee! Justin removed the stickers because the tin was so cool. 😆 This is the Nessmuk’s Morning Whole Bean Coffee in a 3 oz Field Tin. They also threw in an extra sticker and a hand written note! We are already very impressed and looking forward to hitting the trail with it. Click the link in the comments to order through Patrick. ☺️

A few images from the new YouTube video. This was a nice, relaxing winter camp using an old Polish military surplus canvas tent.

New video up on the YouTube channel! In this video I recreate a lost hiker scenario to test out the contents of my emergency day hiking kit.
Temperatures got down to about 8°F overnight, with a real feel of right around 0°F.
This video was a revisiting of a video that I made about a year ago that received a lot of criticism.
Carrying a few emergency items with you, even if just going on a day hike, is absolutely essential.
