We prepare food with a cook stove, think of a coleman type cook stove, but we actually have a European brand so the propane connections will work. We have had burritos for dinner, couscous with chick peas, macs and cheese, etc. For breakfast we often have packets of oatmeal and for lunch bagels, jerky, nuts and candy bars. Meal times are a time to warm up and rest. Also a good time for the team to come together. We sleep on 2 thermarest pads to insulate us from the snow. In an upcoming post I will show our outhouse. it is a tarp to break the wind and we have a wooden box with insulation on top to sit on. I highly recommend bushing the snow of the toilet seat before sitting down. brrrrrrrr.

What is used for the “outhouse”? How cold did it get? What did you sleep on? It would be very hard to work there without warm and nourishing food, and of course, a warm place to rid one of the waste food…so to speak. Thanks for the blog!

Sincerely, Peter
