With the all morning thunderstorm, then my wife doing the punji stick thing...we did not collect enough hardwood for a proper fire. I was loathe to do striploins in a thin non-stick aluminum pan over a camp stove, but it is a worse crime to cook a good steak over pine/spruce/fir unless you like a nice resinous bitter smoke flavour.
After the shit day, the gods must have taken pity as they fucking rocked!
