Solo Bushcraft Overnighter in the Mountains

The weather begins to warm as the seasons shift.
I spend two days out in the Canadian Rockies carving, cooking, and camping.

Meals:

Lunch- Bannock
Two handfuls of all-purpose flour, a small scoop of salt, and two pinches of baking powder are mixed together. Water is then added to make a thick dough. The dough is worked into a long snake-like shape, then wrapped around a debarked dry stick. It is placed over the coals for about 45 minutes, rotating often to allow for an even cook. Once the bannock is nicely browned it is eaten off of the stick with a small jar of raspberry jam.

Supper- Pork cutlets with boiled potatoes
Pork cutlets are dredged in flour, salt, pepper, and garlic powder (season to taste preference). After the first dredge they are dipped into whisked egg and then coated in bread crumbs. I allow them to sit for 20 minutes after they are done being battered. After they sit they go into hot oil for 2 minutes on each side. Be careful, if your oil is too hot the bread crumbs burn very easily.
The potato is peeled then cubed, then placed in boiling water with a few pinches of salt until tender. Finished with a sprinkling of salt and pepper.

Breakfast- Muffin with butter
For breakfast I brought a muffin I made at home, heated up by the fire, then placed butter on it. I did not have enough time to make a nice breakfast, but the muffin was quite tasty.
