I am not sure how many folks here have/use the Wolf and Grizzly M1 grill but I think it is a very well made cooking surface for camping. With that in mind I backed their new Cook Set on Kickstarter a while back and have been able to finally put it to the test. I put up two videos, the unboxing...

We have just heard (because we are looking for camping) that all California National Forests will be closing tomorrow 31st) and will be reevaluated on September 17. We are shunted to Napa (not a horrible diversion) by the fires but are hoping Yosemite remains open at this point. Stay safe...

We just started a month long trip heading to the West Coast and up around Montana on the way home. We will be gone about a month and hope to see some great spots and earn some Jeep Badges of Honor along the way. If anyone wants to follow along the intro is up on my YouTube here. The idea is to...

How about a super easy recipe that punches way above the ingredient list. In my latest YouTube video I whip up a great sweet and sour chicken, including rice, with 5 ingredients and the results are a winner. I hope you enjoy it.

As I have been getting ready for the latest trip I have been doing a lot of home dehydrating of various foods and it is pretty surprising how good some of these recipes are. But I have also been trying some other items out and I found a couple that I thought were pretty good and thought I would...

Anyone going to be in the Ouray area 8/22-25 and interested in running some of the trails? I am thinking Ophir, Emogene, Alpine Loop and would like to do Black Bear. If anyone around or has experience on these trails I would love to connect.

Good morning all, I put up a new video this morning and it is a change of pace from the cooking. It is a two part video that takes a look at some of the smaller camping gadgets that I like to carry with me when I go out and why I like them. Nothing super pricey here and nothing over $100 but...

Good morning all. I just put up a new video with a very tasty green chile jambalaya recipe. The bit of a twist is that I made it in the GSI camping pressure cooker which I am quite fond of. Not sure if you have used it or are familiar with it but if not you can check it out here. It is a great...

Hey all. I was looking at the TAT website as I was thinking of running the Pacific portion later this year when I am out that way. From what I can tell from the website is that this trail was mapped for overland motorcycles, not 4x4 trucks and Jeeps so I sort of dropped it. But I was hoping some...

This weekend, sadly after returning from a trip to northeast Iowa, some great views of the Mississippi, I tried the new smoked cream cheese that is popping up on the social media. I was surprised how good it was and is really easy to make and could be done at camp, even off to the side of a fire...

I hope everyone in the US had a great 4th! I popped up a new video on YouTube that shows a very quick and easy dutch oven bread recipe that used no refrigeration for the ingredients and taste great. If you are interested check it out here-

As you may have seen from my YouTube channel and posts here I love to cook in dutch ovens and use live fire to cook. Over time I have assembled (and seem to keep assembling) various cooking tools and stoves that burn biomass. I have been thinking recently about the horrible drought conditions...

Being a Gear Junkie and feeling that I need to try new gadgets just because I want to see how they work, I picked up the Ötzi Ember Grill that has been splashed all over my Instagram. All in I think it is a neat and pretty effective little unit that can be popped into a map pocked behind the...

This week I switched gears a bit and went with the white meat option. I think this is a great white chicken chili that couldn’t be easier in camp. Any white chili fans out there?

Good morning all-the new video went up and it is a really tasty camp dessert that couldn't be easier. I'm sure that there are a ton of different versions of this amongst the group here and I would love to hear your favorite recipes for this simple dish so share away!

If there is one food that defines the vision of "camping" food what would you say it is? This week I posted my video on the food that I think fits the bill. Let's see what everyone thinks is the definitive image of camping food!

Morning all, I am a bit off-cycle here but patio duty called. Here is a recipe (link) for our favorite black bean burgers and we smoked some portobello mushrooms to toss on. We used the Snow Peak BBQ Box and Smokemeister so I thought you might find it interesting-Enjoy.

Morning all-my latest YouTube video went up this morning and I put the dutch oven away and cooked on the stove. This one is easy. very good and would make a top notch breakfast for a trip. I hope you think it looks as good as I do and you try it!

Good morning and Happy Mother's Day to anyone fitting that bill! My latest just posted and it may take some of you back to fond memories-Check it out and let me know what you think. Easy and delicious.

If we think finding a camping site is difficult now here is an excerpt from an article in Taste regarding the changes in outdoor cooking...as some old book said "It was the best of times, It was the worst of times" “Everybody is probably telling you the same story,” says Matt Liddle, the COO of...
