In this heartfelt episode, I open up about why I stepped away from the podcast for a few weeks and how personal challenges have shaped my outlook. We dive into a topic I’ve never covered before — comfort in camp. Are you the type who wants to rough it, or do you bring along creature comforts? I compare backpacking cots like the $50 NatureHike versus the $299 Helinox, break down their pros and cons, and talk about my military cot for ATV or boat-accessible trips. We also explore camp chair options, from budget Walmart models to lightweight high-back chairs, and even dollar store chairs for quick trips.
Comfort in camp isn’t just about luxury — it’s about energy, morale, and being able to recharge in the outdoors. I share stories from the field, practical tips on what to pack, and tie it all into life’s seasons. James 1:2–4 reminds us to “consider it pure joy” when facing trials, knowing these moments produce perseverance. Whether you’re sleeping on the hard ground or enjoying a comfortable cot, God can use both to shape you and prepare you for what’s next.
