Maybe give a little more information about what type of environment you plan to hunt, and what you are hunting. November cold weather is a little generic.
I freaking love my instant pot. Just don't overcook your meat, or it will be too soft, like another poster mentioned. It is better to shoot for less cooking time if you aren't sure. You can always do a quick pressure release, check on it, then turn it back on if you need to. It is still faster...
Definitely quiz your breeder about the personalities of the available puppies. We just picked the cutest one from a reputable kennel, and ended up with a neurotic psycho. He can hunt....but yeah...he's a pain in the ass. Granted, that's true for a lot of GSPs. My lab is a angel in comparison.
I wonder if there is a way to substitute the almond flour with some other flour. I'm allergic to tree nuts, but I've always thought those packaroons look delicious!
Welcome! That sounds like a very exciting move. I'm from Oklahoma (have spent lots of time in Texas), and I imagine that's a huge lifestyle transition. You came to the right place for info! Lots of smart brains to pick.
