No sooner did the sub zero temperatures subside the snow came down, down, down! Don’t get me wrong I love snow. I had not been to the tent in a week. When I arrived there. I found it in great shape considering. The design of the tent’s rain fly worked perfectly. I placed the rainflyContinue reading “The snow came down, down, down!”

Christmas is behind us. With all the presents opened and cookies eaten. Now temps are dipping below zero. Tonight it is headed to double digits below zero.

I am sitting by a fire on September 10, 2021 on Kitnla Lake in Glacier National Park Montana.  It is a beautiful lake.  The smoke from wildfires put a haze over the surrounding mountains.  It is supposed to rain tonight.  I am hoping for a heavy rain to clear the air.  My original plan wasContinue reading “An escape to Glacier National Park”

Many of you have asked questions about how Bald Bigfoot lives, sleeps, and eats.  Here is an overall look at Bald Bigfoot’s diet.  BBF understands how important a well balanced diet is.  As he fires up his grill, campfire, or cedar log smoker he thinks about his overall diet.  Rather than stick to one sourceContinue reading “Cooking with BBF”
