| 1:14.9 | Hi friends. Today I have Michelle Shea back with us again. And I know that you've really enjoyed her on the previous episodes where she has offered wonderful adventure, dining, tips, and tricks, teaching us how to eat better in the backcountry, which is something that I'm really looking forward to in this summer adventure season. So Michelle, welcome to the program. |
| 1:25.3 | Thank you so much for having me back. So Michelle, you have a tip for us today about high altitude cooking. So first, why does this matter? What's the deal with high altitude cooking? |
| 1:27.5 | This is something I get a lot of questions about. So I just wanted to address it because once you get above 10,000 feet, your environment changes |

| 1:55.7 | I just wanted to go for with you guys today. Okay. Will, how do we cook at altitude then? |
| 2:00.5 | So the most important thing again is to |
| 2:02.4 | be conscious of your water sources. So you need to know how much you use and how to repurpose that water. |
| 2:09.5 | So if you're above a water source, cook with something that doesn't need as much water. So pre-cooked |
| 2:14.4 | ingredients are great. Sausages, salamis, pre-cooked rice, things that you can heat without cooking. |
