My latest attempt at a YT video, my first cooking episode. Filmed along the Clear Creek trail with the January South Rim with a dusting of snow in the background.

Even though this is a quite simple - some would say obvious - idea, I really like your videos on the trail. I've actually done this kind of combination of available foodstuff from my local grocery: a typical trip to the store with the wife involves at least some speculation on my part about the applicability of things on the shelves. As far as videos go, I especially admire John Austin's ("Tinny" of Minibulldesigns stoves) videos on the trail food he's discovered or come up with himself - even though Tinny has pretty much given up on actual backpacking per se, doing most of his demonstrations indoors.
The "obvious" and "simple" aspect reminds me of an idea that I once had for a video (I never, BTW, actually make videos other than in my own head) concerning finding campsites. Every time I walk (or even drive), I find myself habitually selecting campsites from the available terrain. The general principles for selection are fairly clear, but it would be interesting to see numerous examples of actual choices, both good and bad. Most would say that is pretty much obvious and commonsense, but I always thought it would be interesting to have someone do something informational on it anyway with practical examples. Perhaps I'm unusual, but I learn most effectively from example, and I believe that this applies to the simplest of activities backpacking. Another reason why I enjoyed reading Colin Fletcher's storylike descriptions of his routine backpacking. There's something satisfyingly real about seeing the cook prepare it, even if we believe we could do it from the recipe.
OBTW, you chooose great scenery for your videos.

Thank you for a great idea! I picked up a box of Spam singles for almost nothing at our grocery stores dent/outdated shelf. Been trying to figure out how to incorporate them and this is perfect. I think some dehydrated veggies would kick this up yet another notch!

Just make sure you use them up before they are 5 years beyond the expiration date. I had one of those experiences where I didn't think I had time to take off the pack.

The "obvious" and "simple" aspect reminds me of an idea that I once had for a video (I never, BTW, actually make videos other than in my own head) concerning finding campsites. Two excellent ideas. I've been mulling over a video script for several months on how to plan and buy backpacking meals using only things purchased off the grocery shelf. Spamen is an example meal, but obviously the approach can be easily generalized. Your campsite topic is an interesting one, and a not something I had considered. For me personally campsite selection has always been pretty obvious/straightforward and limited. Perhaps you do more hiking in areas where you must "wild camp" more. If you could give me any more insight on what you are thinking I'd appreciate it. Regards!
