Packing food for overnight backpacking trips can be a challenge. How much food do you bring? How do you keep it fresh and prevent spoilage? And how much does it weigh? And let’s not even get started on thru-hiking, when you sometimes need to carry weeks’ worth of food all at once…
We all know how awesome cast iron cookware is (right?). But carbon steel cookware has yet to really catch on – at least in-home kitchens. They’re already somewhat popular in restaurants and commercial kitchens, but few home cooking enthusiasts have yet to make in the investment in some new carbon steel skillets or pots.
If you’re into coffee, you’ve likely heard of the Chemex. But what’s so special about this pour-over maker, and why does it continue to be one of the most popular out there?

If the thought of Jameson Cold Brew causes you a good deal of simultaneous excitement and consternation with you, you are not alone. Is it a coffee with whisky in it? A whisky with coffee in it? A whiskey-flavored Cold Brew Coffee? Or just a fancy take on the classic Irish Coffee – a warm drink for a chilly evening, if there ever was one.
When outfitting your kitchen on a budget, you’ll probably find yourself reaching for an inexpensive cast iron skillet, from Lodge or another similar brand.

There’s no better way to kickstart the morning than with a cup of coffee (or two or three).
