The Matt Mittan Show

What if your camping gear could make your outdoor adventures not just bearable but downright enjoyable? Join us for a deep dive into days eight to eleven of our 30-day camping challenge at Lake Chatuge's Jack Rabbit Campground. From the picturesque beauty of Hiawassee, Georgia, and Hayesville, North Carolina, to reflecting on our journey thus far. We'll talk about how our initial overpacking mistakes turned into valuable lessons on packing light and the necessity of being flexible and prepared for the unpredictable nature of camping. You'll hear about our serene kayaking experience on the expansive 13-mile-long lake, surrounded by the majestic Blue Ridge Mountains. Picture this: navigating waves, encountering a curious dragonfly, and witnessing a seaplane's up-close landing on the lake. We also delve into the convenience and practicality of our essential camping gear, like how our solar system kept our phones and medical equipment powered, even on cloudy days. We'll even discuss the benefits of a solar rechargeable crank lantern and how our fitness preparations made a significant difference in our extended outdoor adventure. But the adventure isn't all smooth sailing; we faced unexpected challenges and discovered the kindness of strangers when our car's ball joint broke down in a small town. Listen as we recount being stranded, the heartfelt assistance from locals, and the valuable lessons of patience and acceptance that nature taught us. Plus, hear about our exploration of local gems like "Festival on the Square", a Cherokee Homestead Exhibit and the Friends of the Hayesville Library bookstore. This episode is packed with practical camping tips, heartwarming human connections, and the serene beauty of nature's wonders.

Ever wondered how a simple card game could add a twist to a camping adventure? Join us as we navigate through Part 2 of our 30-day camping challenge, recounting our second trip. From an intense game of Uno that kept our competitive spirits high to Michele's unforgettable reaction to receiving a kayak surprise from Matt, this episode is packed with heartfelt moments and unexpected surprises. Relive the joy of a surprise Natalie Merchant concert that Matt planned, adding a layer of harmony to our journey. Our adventure unfolds further as we set up camp in the secluded beauty of Julian Price Park, surrounded by majestic old-growth trees and the gentle presence of a curious doe. Discover the practical and safety measures we took, including using SATCOM in areas with limited to no signal. Our maiden kayaking trip was not just an activity but a testament to our preparation and Michele's newfound freedom in solo paddling. Amid the fun and challenges, including forgotten medical supplies to an unending round of Uno, we reflect on how these natural escapades have significantly contributed to our health recovery and well-being. The tranquility of high-elevation camping at Julian Price Park, near Boone, NC, offers a stark contrast to our previous experiences. Imagine the serenity of an entire campground loop to ourselves, only to be momentarily interrupted by a sneaky animal raiding our food supply. These moments, along with a repeated yet heartwarming encounter with a deer, underscore the magic of our stay. Adapting to life on the road, we share our day-to-day challenges and triumphs, from drying clothes to the simple joy of cooking hot dogs over an open fire. As we prepare for our next adventure, let the soothing sounds of night frogs be your closing lullaby. Visit Matt & Michele Odyssey [https://mattandmicheleodyssey.godaddysites.com/] for more!
