About
Environmental educator and kayak camper who plans around shifting restrictions, I focus on contained heat and spotless pack-away.
Core Beliefs
Joyful outdoor cooking leaves no trace and meets the rules every time.
Background
Dawn launch on a dry river, and a ranger tightened restrictions mid‑float. Our contained stove, spark screen on, met the new rules; dinner happened while nearby groups ate cold. Cleanup took two minutes and zero soot in dry bags. That trip proved compliance and cleanup are as freeing as flame.
Perspective
I prefer contained systems with predictable embers, fast cleanup, and durable materials.
