RE: Basic skills and confidence

in Outdoors and more3 months ago

Having the right skills needs to be coupled with the physical ability to get things done, no doubt. At 54, I've kept myself in good shape through some hard work and effort and eating properly so I'm ok on that front, probably more than ok if I'm immodest. But for sure getting older has an effect. Having said that, I don't think it negates the need for a self-reliant ethos as there are many ways that can be brought to pass.

I think my wife and I will be camping for many years to come. Although we have a lot of gear, there is still something quite basic about camping that I really enjoy. It's just kind of raw. We do most of our cooking on a charcoal grill or propane griddle. I'd like to get a tripod for grate for over the fire and perfect my skills at open fire cooking one of these days.
