My 1st SOLO Winter Overnight! Bushcraft Shelter, Cooking on Coals, Campfire Breakfast

I accomplished my first SOLO overnight winter camping trip and I had an awesome time!! I hope you enjoy this video as I share my experience camping solo! Temperatures dipped to - 7 ° C ( 19.4° F) but my sleeping set up kept me toasty warm. I had a base layer that acted as a barrier for ground moisture, a base wool blanket and then I had a bivvy over my sleeping bag to ensure I kept dry, and then a wool blanket on the top. Despite being warm, I don’t think I really slept that well because I did feel very confined in the sleeping bag. It is designed for back sleepers and I am a side sleeper. But that just made me that much more grateful for my comfy bed at home which includes a cuddling hubby. :) One of my favourite meals to make at home when we are eating outside is spaghetti squash because the spaghetti squash acts as the bowl and therefore keeps the dish very hot for a long time. It is the one dish we can eat out on our back patio that keeps on steaming to the very last bite. I cooked it over the coals for about an hour or so and it turned out delicious! Waking up to the birds and the sun peeking through the trees was an amazing refreshed feeling. Solo camping is very meditative. I got the fire going quickly and had the best cup of coffee EVER. When I am at home and having avocado toast for breakfast I usually add sea salt, lime juice, radishes... all the fixings. This morning I had plain avocado on a plain fire toasted bagel and it was sooo delicious. What does that say about being out here?! I hope you enjoy this video and I can’t wait to do more solo trips! It’s addicting!! Hope you enjoy xo My pants: Check out my husbands’ channel @Trustin Timber Check out the building of this shelter on my husbands channel!
