Living in a Winter Survival Shelter – Chow Time and Chit Chat

Okay, I’ll admit, at first glance, this might seem like a slow one yawn fest alert but stick with me because there’s more going on here than meets the eye.

First up: uninvited guests. Yep, it was only a matter of time before a curious critter decided to crash my winter shelter. Don’t worry no animals were harmed (or eaten) in the making of this episode. I’ve always kept a trap handy since moving in and this little intruder was safely relocated. But it’s a reminder that off grid living means sharing your space with nature whether you like it or not.

Then, we dive into some cozy cabin cooking. There’s something oddly satisfying about whipping up a meal in the middle of nowhere and I’ll show you how I make the most of my limited resources. Plus I answer some burning questions from subscribers because let’s be real, you have all been wondering about the weirdest parts of this lifestyle.

And finally… brace yourselves. I reveal one of my dirty little secrets. It’s a confession so shocking, so unexpected, that it starts with the letter R. (No, it’s not raccoons or ramen—though both have played a role in my off-grid journey.) This is top-secret off-the-grid intel you won’t want to miss.

So, while this episode might seem low-key on the surface, it’s packed with critter encounters, culinary creativity, and a secret that might just change how you see winter shelter life. Hit play and let’s get into it!
