Hey Rob - Amazing series of videos this past week or so. Enjoyed every one of them. Excellent quality and content. I would not change a thing. Snowing here in the Arizona desert. I am 50 miles north of the U.S./Mexico Border at about 3000 feet in elevation. In the foothills of 9158 foot Mt. Lemmon. We have 6 inches of snow this morning and it is still coming down. I have plenty of trees where you can hang your hammock, should you want to camp in the Arizona snow. Take Care - Stay Safe. Regards, Randy in Arizona

As always enjoyed the video... I just got back from a few days of winter camping. 3 feet of snow at 8000 feet so it was snowshoes to travel about otherwise post holing all the time. Winter camping is great! I have a Agawa folding saw too. I tested the Silky Big Boy this time. A great saw as well.

Hi Rob. Another great video and really enjoying your recent content. Lucky not to get harpooned there mate.

Absolutely perfect steak cookery however. Best wishes from London 👍🏼

Beautiful country Rob. I have a question. Why don't more people carry cayenne pepper? Look into the uses. The powder is a very good coagulant , even for severe bleeding. There are many accounts of people using it to stop a heart attack (for real) and it is great to help with your core temperature. In my opinion everyone should add some to their carry. So many uses.

You made me giggle. I could be your Mother, literally. A word of advice as an older woman who has cooked many a meal while camping. Wrap the peppers in foil. At least under them. Add egg, scrambled with a bit of diced ham, some cheese, or even put in a skillet with a lid. It will cook more evenly for you and not burn. Hopefully your sweet wife can join you one of these days.
