They are perhaps the simplest bird to prepare. Fillet the chest, season with preferred spices and give them a fry plus a few minutes in the oven. You want the center to be almost pink/raw, pleasant and sweet game flavour. Overcook it and it's just dry. I serve with a simple sauce and a pea puree plus some onion/ mushrooms.

In a former life, I was amazed how much complexity proper cold brings to carrying out a given task, be it work or recreation.
Simply working in gloves and mittens, the lost dexterity was such a huge adjustment. Not to mention how limited in function or durability certain items can have at extreme cold.

I never tire of the landscapes in your videos.
The content you create is greatly appreciated

Thank you very much! Yes the cold is a bitch for making simple stuff hard. Try taking a dump when you got severe cold and drifting snow; try keeping your balance on shifting snow and finishing up fast enough to still have some agility in your hands for the wipe.

Tha above is not really a problem, but moderate hilarity has happened in the past. Biggest problem is by far that the cold kills the batteries fast and some cameras don't even start up with a fresh battery. For reasons unknown to me, large capacity batteries does unproportionally better than smaller batteries. Forget alkaline and stick to lithium.
