    Bullshit meals

  2. Joseph Saetveit on March 31, 2022 at 6:22 pm

    Great Ideas! Included most of my favorite meals at home. Surprised to not see cheeseburgers!

  3. Guadalupe Meixueiro Palacios on March 31, 2022 at 6:24 pm

    Everything sucks!

  4. The American Hiker 96 on March 31, 2022 at 6:24 pm

    Best way to keep meats cold while traveling?

  5. justin omar on March 31, 2022 at 6:25 pm

    Pre package Apple crumble/pie blueberries pies in the Dutch oven if your looking for a dessert option you feel like a king eating that in the wild

  6. ReclaimedPalletCreations on March 31, 2022 at 6:25 pm

    Now Im craving quesidila’s lol. Think my vegetarian dutch oven enchilada soup would work in it? Check out my recipe vid and let me know your thoughts once you have a chance!

  7. Jessy S on March 31, 2022 at 6:25 pm

    How simple and yummy. I usually like to cook when camping, but sometimes a quick simple meal is so appreciated!

  8. Grayson on March 31, 2022 at 6:26 pm

    Tinfoil meals are my favorite. No mess, everything you can throw out. Which means no dishes to clean! Plus they are super easy to assemble. You just throw some stuff in tinfoil, throw it in the fire, and wait! You get food and a fire in one 🙂

  9. Croaker Outdoors on March 31, 2022 at 6:26 pm

    Very nice, I think you named all the classics. My camp meal practice is, since I love to cook, is to make the meal 90% at home and then finish at the site. Reduces cook time, fuel consumption, and allows you to have better meals. ex. Carne asada and carnitas tacos in home made corn tortillas. I’ll double/triple what I made for dinner and then vac pack for camping. On site, then it’s a simple heat and eat. Same with teriyaki chicken thighs and veggie fried rice or chicken curry and veg over rice which are some of my favorites.

  10. Greg Green on March 31, 2022 at 6:26 pm

    Everything looks great. Some very small constructive criticism. Those tortillas you had for tacos you ate raw. Warm them a few seconds each side on your cast iron or straight on the fire medium heat before making your Taco. 🙂 hope it tastes nice for yall.

  11. jascha schaub on March 31, 2022 at 6:28 pm

    what about couscous takes 2 minutes..?

  12. Please enter name on March 31, 2022 at 6:30 pm

    Foil is toxic btw ,great ideas tho thank u

  13. Péter Zebot on March 31, 2022 at 6:33 pm

    American diet has been Mexicanized. haha I guess whatever you like to make but that isn’t really frontier food.

  14. SpicePalate on March 31, 2022 at 6:35 pm

    Awww so nice to hear you like Indian food. Try the Indian grocery store in Salt Lake City. They have some Indian brands ready to eat. Namaste Nangola or Shop&Go have them. Let me know how you like them. Where do you buy the Maya Kaimal in Salt Lake? Thank you.

  15. Monica Nelson on March 31, 2022 at 6:35 pm

    This is probably the best camp meals videos I have seen. Everything looks delicious and super doable.

  16. Ashley’s Craft Corner on March 31, 2022 at 6:38 pm

    So excited to see a lot of camp meal variety other than hotdogs and Mountain pies! 🤣

  17. amandaoutside on March 31, 2022 at 6:41 pm

  18. Toby Noe on March 31, 2022 at 6:41 pm

    My favorite camping lunch is baloney and cheese, slice tomato miracle whip on soft fresh white bread.

  19. Danny L on March 31, 2022 at 6:44 pm

    Thanks, I like the idea of the egg in the Ramon.
    This is the first one of your videos that I have seen but I subscribed.

  20. Franchesca ONeal on March 31, 2022 at 6:45 pm

    Have you tried 2 gallon sized freezer bags and salt water to make ice blocks to keep the cooler cold?

  21. Love and Life on March 31, 2022 at 6:45 pm

    Well done video! Quick, easy and informative!

  22. Expedition Novak on March 31, 2022 at 6:49 pm

    These look amazing and simple. Going to need to try these out. Great video!

  23. CAL VLOGS on March 31, 2022 at 6:50 pm

    Camping ramen is my FAV!

  24. Fal Burch on March 31, 2022 at 6:51 pm

    I neeed that ramen recipe love love love all the tips

  25. Cody Pancamo on March 31, 2022 at 6:52 pm

    Do you keep all this stuff frozen in a cooler? How do you keep it cold after the second day?

  26. Nishkid641 on March 31, 2022 at 6:54 pm

    Nah. Indian food sucks cuz it doesn’t utilize pork and beef.

  27. Evie Vermont Short films on March 31, 2022 at 6:56 pm

    Awesome ideas

  28. Matt Gonzalez on March 31, 2022 at 6:58 pm

    Have you dehydrated pickled onions? Does it work?

  31. Emily LeCea on March 31, 2022 at 7:00 pm

    Loved the video! Great ideas!

  32. Essential Oil Stories on March 31, 2022 at 7:00 pm

    A nice camping hack for handling raw meat is to have disposable food grade gloves. Great tips on your video, I may try the dutch oven nachos. Good thing we are not back pack camping. LOL.

  33. outlaw on March 31, 2022 at 7:01 pm

    “I dont like eating all processed foods, next up ramen 😋!” 🤣🤣

  34. sherry muzyka ZEKE’s Travels on March 31, 2022 at 7:05 pm

    Really love these meals!!!

  35. suman c on March 31, 2022 at 7:06 pm

    We are tent campers, but 2021 labor day weekend going on our first RV trip to Austin TX. Good refresher thanks.

  36. Bilal Mehdaoui on March 31, 2022 at 7:07 pm

    Lovely video.
    Ma’am, that is not couscous, it’s called bercoukes

  37. bluejasmin84 on March 31, 2022 at 7:08 pm

    Dutch oven Puerto Rican arroz con pollo and a side salad…
    Or just a hearty soup…splash of lime and avocado…always a hit for my family!

  38. Manie on March 31, 2022 at 7:08 pm

    Namasté & Ho’Oponopono

  39. Lime Time on March 31, 2022 at 7:12 pm

    Hot dogs for a week straight

  40. Steph Fung on March 31, 2022 at 7:13 pm

    Thank you so much for this! I’m going camping for the first time next weekend and your video is so helpful!

  41. Jess G on March 31, 2022 at 7:14 pm

    YES pickled onions 🙂

  42. roy vazquez on March 31, 2022 at 7:14 pm

    White people tacos

  43. OXBLOOD 13 on March 31, 2022 at 7:14 pm

    pro tip, warm your tortillas on both sides before assembling the tacos

  44. Gringo on March 31, 2022 at 7:15 pm

    Good stuff! I love chorizo and egg burritos for breakfast at camp.

  45. melly joy on March 31, 2022 at 7:15 pm

    Am I the only one that doesn’t wash their fruit, veg and salad

  46. Brett Morton on March 31, 2022 at 7:15 pm

    "i dont always wanna be eating processed foods"……. "next up is ramen!" lol. I love those pre packaged Indian foods, there so quick and easy!

  47. Kris G on March 31, 2022 at 7:18 pm

    I’m always hungry when I watch these….. but I like bigger portions

  48. Praise and Worship on March 31, 2022 at 7:18 pm

  49. wait. my favorite show is on on March 31, 2022 at 7:19 pm
