Is there Wild In the Netherlands? No!! Yes!!
Like last year, we headed again into the forest to live some adventure.
Like last year, we headed again into the forest to live some adventure.
After the heavy storms in the Netherlands a lot trees had been falling down and there were serious warnings of falling branches called widow makers. So the Dutch authority advised not to go into the woods. Ok? So we were prepared to be cautious and be careful with our route and picking our camping place.
Again the circumstances were harsh, a winter snow on some areas and drawling foggy rain making the whole area wet.
First thing: Making shelter to prevent becoming too wet and making fire to get some heath
During the day and evening we had a foggy rain but later the evening we had even some sunshine
Next: Chopping Wood to get thru the day and evening it took me 3 hours.
New thing we learned; cooking on open wood fire. San sat down and became the "fire master" and she cooked water for our thee and coffee and started to bake our bread in our special prepared "Dutch Oven" (not realy but an old pan from our home kitchen) After that she made with chicken legs and a bunch of vegetables a great diner. Whauw!!
Late evening the sky broke open and the stars were visible, directly the temperature dropped to -3 deg C.
Early morning we lit up the fire and made thee and coffee and some bacon and eggs. Jummy!
Carefully breaking down our frozen tent and tarp we headed home again. Our clothes smelling of burned wood. Hi Hi.
See you next time San and Jan!
