Whenever you travel into the backcountry, do you ask yourself: “Eat like a king but break my back with the weight; or eat like a squirrel and travel light and fast?” Well, you can stop asking yourself that question. Backcountry travel doesn’t involve a Hobson’s choice. Time and time again, our field instructors prove that you can have your cake and eat it, too.

This time, it’s breakfast. In the video below Casey Pikla and Amy Rathke show us that backcountry breakfast doesn’t mean choking down lukewarm flavored oatmeal—you can warm yourself with a savory cheesy spicy breakfast of grits and save some weight while you’re at it.

    Great video, but I have something to say: could you make some vegan recipes in future as well?
    Because I’m on the way to become a vegan – it means no animal products like milk, eggs and meat!
    Nevertheless thank you for this recipe, maybe someone in my family’s can use it :)

    Thanks for the recipe. Those grits look good. Great for camping. If I make them at my house, I will probably add a little cheese (and maybe some shrimp).

    Wow this is amazing outdoor cooking tutorial and recipe. It is relatively fast and easy plus most of the materials and ingredients are pretty simple and can be found in your pantry! Looks like it does taste good too. Do you offer recipes for vegans and vegetarians as well?

    Bearish those things, the ups and downs of life in the early faint natural, only better tomorrow!May be everyone’s life do not want to always feel that his life, the life is very boring, no waves, there is no challenge to write a good living expenses there are certain limits Aye, though not a set number, but also something that is notunderstand its scope. Very real and very moving.

    Would love some more information on that blue pot thing! I couldn’t get the name from the video. Did they make that one or buy it? Looks quite handy & light!
