On this episode of the Primitive Camping and Bushcraft Podcast, Chris shares a story about camping with his sons when a brand-new stove broke on day one. What started as frustration turned into a lesson in improvisation, open-fire cooking, and teaching his boys to adapt.

Chris also reads from his book Primitive Camping and Bushcraft about “Thinking Outside the Box” and dives into Philippians 4:11–13 to remind us that true strength and contentment don’t come from gear — they come from Christ.

You’ll hear practical tips on redundancy, improvising in the woods, and why practice matters more than perfect gear. Plus, a quick look at upcoming freeze-dried meals, coffee, and fire kits available soon at PrimitiveCamping.com.

Whether you’re a seasoned camper or just starting out, this episode will help you prepare, adapt, and keep your faith strong when things don’t go as planned.
