When you appreciate the cold, sitting there watching the water boil for your coffee and breakfast. Love adding @old_trapper beef jerky to my @mtnhouse biscuits and gravy for a hearty breakfast. Using my @snowpeak_official stove and cup to heat things up. Using the @kleankanteen bottle for storing water and if needed, melt snow and catch water to safely heat it since it’s single lined. The ground protection and a portion of the wall and ceiling is my @surviveoutdoorslonger tarps. The pack and Nalgene bottle holders are from @bdstacticalgear. #beefjerky #whatsyourbeef #camping #campfood #campinglife #hiking #bushcraft #wilderness #prepper #survival #hikingadventures #hikingfood #bushcraftandprepping #food #oldtrapper #roughingit #campingtips #comfortfood #mountainman #truspec #truspecgear https://www.instagram.com/p/Cj1LRu2Pi-8/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

"We don't sell it if we wouldn't use it ourselves"! www.theprepperjack.com #Repost @textbook_survival with @repostapp ・・・ Hello everyone! Good evening! So, I tested the @mtnhouse Teriyaki chicken meal from @the_prepper_jack March monthly prepper box. This was the one flavor meal that I was really apprehensive about testing and it came with the box so I basically had to try it now that it was in my possession. I am pleasantly surprised. @mtnhouse you did a great job. 👍🏻👍🏻 I am actually still eating as I type this out. I was worried it would be a sweet mess. I strongly dislike sweet foods for the most part. You can definitely taste the teriyaki but it is not so overpowering that it blocks out any other flavors. The bamboo still tastes like bamboo, you can taste the peppers, there's an overall black pepper taste to it but again, not overpowering all the other flavors. I'm really happy with this one, would definitely buy down the line, thank you again @the_prepper_jack your prepper box gave me the opportunity to try something I was very hesitant on. ( @mtnhouse sorry for essentially skipping out on your ambassador program , you guys did a great job on this!) the other mountain house meal I was sent in Marchs box is chili mac and beef which I've purchased many times before. Very spicy and good , if you guys have any questions feel free to ask #theprepperjack #mtnhouse #mountainhouse #survival #survivaltools #bushcraft #backpacking #selfsufficient #bugoutbag #firstaidkit #zombieapocalypse  #thewalkingdead #firstaid #shtf #urbansurvival #tactical #survivalgear #knife #everydaycarry #foraging  #textbooksurvival #zombies #facebook

Interpreting History in My Happy Place

My happy place is something I love to reflect on everyday. No matter how bad the weather is or how much work I have to do, the thought of my happy place makes everyday a good day! You may wonder why that is, it’s because my happy place is in nature which has so many mysterious and historical aspects associated with it. Being at North-South Lake State Park (which is located in New York) provides me with numerous opportunities to interpret nature and historical aspects of the area. Every time I visit North-South Lake I learn new things. A concept that goes hand and hand with nature interpretation is historical interpretation!

One thing that I have learned this week is that both nature interpretations and history interpretations can be offered at the same facility or site. This is because natural sites have a history associated with it and historical sites have natural resources associated with it (Beck et al., 2018). This was something I never really thought of before. I used to only associate my happy place with nature interpretations and mystery. When I now look back on all of the visits to my happy place, I can see the historical interpretations that I have missed.

One of the historical aspects associated with North-South Lake is that it had a mountain house located along the cliff of one of the trails. The Catskill Mountain House use to be located at the top of the cliff overlooking the Hudson River. I’ve been to the site many times before and read the plaque dedicated to the Catskill Mountain House. One thing I learned was that three US presidents have visited here (including Chester A. Arthur)!

It is weird how I always overlooked this aspect when visiting here. I knew about the historical aspects of the area ever since I have been going there, however, I never associated it with being directly relatable to nature interpretation. Now that I look at it, historical sites have a natural resources component to it and natural sites have history (here the nature component is the trails leading up to the site of the mountain house and the beautiful view once you get right to the top and the history is the memories and images of the house that use to be along the cliff). This is a really cool aspect that I learned, and it has helped to add more beauty to my happy place!

Going forward, I will always remember that sites have both nature interpretations and history interpretations present! This has helped me to better understand nature interpretation and has helped me realize there are more aspects than I originally believed. My happy place is still apart of my heart, however, there is a deeper meaning to it now that I understand the historical interpretation associated with it! I truly love North-South Lake and I can’t wait to see what other new aspects I will learn about it during the remainder of the semester!

When this pandemic is over, and we can travel again I highly recommend visiting the State Park to experience the beauty it has to offer! I’m sure you will enjoy it too and who knows maybe it will become your happy place too!

Continuing with September Emergency Preparedness Month and food preparations and freeze dried meals. The first picture is the safe I store my store all my @mtnhouse freeze dried meals. Most are organized and stored in the totes by breakfast meals, beef, chicken, pork, Number 10 cans and sealed boxes of bulk pouches seen in the second and third picture. Freeze dried meals are easy to prepare by boiling water, stirring and letting it sit for ten minutes or less. The variety of meals make it easy to buy the flavors you want and will eat comfortably. Add seasonings, meats or vegetables to a meal and you can extend how many people you can feed and the longevity of your preparations while changing it up a bit so it doesn’t get boring. I have a few packets lose as I’ve ran out of storage space for them and estimate an easy two to three months worth of meals adding items from the pantry that won’t require refrigeration. Yes I keep them stored in a @sentrysafe , I’ve got a lot invested into them and if someone broke into the house, they’d have to work to get to them. While no longer a product ambassador for Mountain House I still purchase their meals for emergency preparedness as well as my camping and hiking trips thanking them for the opportunity I was given to work with them over the years and help keep my family and loved ones prepared. #emergencypreparedness #emergencypreparednessmonth #prepper #prepping #survival #survivalist #camping #hiking #naturaldisasters #mountainhouse #campfood #campingfood #hikingfood #prepared #zombies #preparedness #bushcraft #bushcraftandprepping #apocalypse #survivor #worstcasescenario #justincase https://www.instagram.com/p/CULnULcJl_P/?utm_medium=tumblr

@mtnhouse why did you stop making this. Just because I don't want #pork in my #breakfast I shouldn't have to be forced to eat #granola and #blueberries. Bring back your scrambled eggs in a pouch. #backpacking #dehydrated #food.

One more prepper post for a bit. Food. People say, it’s expensive. Look, go through the food supplier sites, look for deals and add to your prepper pantry 1 piece at a time. 10lbs of oats goes a long ways. 20lbs of rice will keep you alive for quite awhile. The freeze dried meal packs add some variety. Check out @wisefoodstorage @mtnhouse @augasonfarms I have only good to say about all. Augason Farms in particular offers a huge variety of everything. #prepper #preppergear #prepareoutloud #survival #beprepared #witchesofinstagram https://www.instagram.com/p/Bznt9V6HtFB/?igshid=8halmxg5n2hg

We almost didn’t make it to Iceland after WOW airlines went bankrupt through which our tickets were booked. But @icelandair came through and we made it! There's a lot to say about our trip to Iceland, so I've decided it has to come in doses... You learn a lot when taking a trip with a bunch of photographers around the world... you learn even more being on the road with the one you love for 10 days. Here's a few clips of the first part of our trip to Iceland... with part two and a big life change just around the corner! See full video at www.youtube.com/jjbarrows (link in bio) . . . Special thanks to @campingcars.is and @mtnhouse for making this trip a mix of epic and delicious!! #iceland #travel #photography #createlife #photographer #icelandair #adventure #camp #campingcars #vlog #mountainhouse #youtube #wow #roadtrip #love (at Iceland) https://www.instagram.com/p/ByBnbdgHVQh/?igshid=ek5yl1hhwhp3
