I was finally able to do some catch, forage and cook with the Hestan skillet today. Open fire, creekside….it doesn’t really get much better to be honest. The 3wt creek rod throwing elk hair caddis was the perfect combo. Lots of action but only needed one volunteer for the taking. I was able to grab some chanterelles, Douglas Fir tips, dandelion leaves, fireweed, black currants and a handful of raspberries to snack on afterwards. The skillet did fantastic over the open fire as to be expected. we need to figure out a backcountry line up next🤓🤙🤙🤙
I am planning on doing some grouse and foraged edibles shoot once upland season kicks off. I’m pretty excited about that one to see how they come out.
I do have to say eating this creekside this evening was pretty outstanding!!!!🔥🔥🔥🔥
