What if the secret to joy isn’t chasing more—but noticing the magic in what’s already here? In this episode of Halfway Feral, we sit down with Jen, the camp chef behind Heritage Outfitters in Nebraska, whose campfire meals and life perspective leave a lasting impression.

Jen shares what it’s like feeding hungry hunters in the heart of Nebraska, how food creates connection in the wild, and why it’s never too late to embrace adventure, purpose, and presence.

Her reminder? Magic is everywhere—if you're willing to slow down and look.
