Camping practice

Mark tried out hammock camping with the boys last weekend in the woods behind our home. Wanted to experiment with different cold-weather set ups (temps went down into the 40's), and just see if the boys would enjoy it. They did! Victor and I slept at home. But  I made dinner (Mexican Chicken Soup with our freeze dried ingredients) on our backpacking stoves and the next morning I made a warm breakfast - Scrambled eggs and an upgraded oatmeal. I had great helpers - Adam and Antoine gathered a ton of twigs and kept our fire alive. Amazing how much longer it takes to cook a meal with a fire!!
The food was completely acceptable and everyone finished their plate!
All in all, a fun outing.
