Fireplace Transformation, Cast Iron Cooking | Wilderness Survival Shelter 

I complete the transformation of the fireplace, adding a DIY concrete mantel and a hand-formed copper heat reflector behind the stovepipe with copper left over from the kitchen sink and backsplash. In the evening, I grill duck breast with wild rice and simmer a maple syrup/blueberry reduction sauce in my cast iron skillet on the BBQ. I split some kindling for the outdoor kitchen and I sit by the campfire until dark before retiring to the log cabin for the night, Cali sleeping on the bench on the main floor and me back in the loft now that the night time temperatures are more comfortable.
