After a very slack summer with regards to outdoor adventures, this past weekend I took advantage of some free time lining up with good weather. Today I headed out for a quick ATV ride and boil-up leaving from our house in Torbay.

The main goal of today's adventure was to have a boil-up, something I haven't done in way too long. I fired up my CS 2500 mini chainsaw to cut a few dry sticks for a campfire and to boil my Kelly Kettle.

The menu today was nothing fancy, it's not always about cooking an epic meal outdoors, but just getting out and cooking something/anything and enjoy the experience. Today I boiled the kettle to make coffee in my GSI Commuter java press and a pack of Mr. Noodles fancied up with a tin of Vienna Sausages.

I truly enjoyed my afternoon in the woods, it's awesome to cook up a fancy feed or arrange an extravagant ride to a new destination, but sometimes all you need is a simple outing to clear your mind. Appreciate the little things in life!

Cheers, MIKE
