Thanks very much, Jerry! And definitely it was worth the effort. Nice to hear from you. Hope you are keeping well and enjoying some good fires yourself! 😊 Cheers!

Hi , yes the jamón is really good! 85 mm seems to pass the test (without a locking blade). The one on the video is a Victorinox Evolution. Security confiscated my Swiss Champ (90mm blade) saying that the saw was too long. Spain (Andalucía) is a great place! The people, the culture the languages, the food … Firebox make good quality products. If you can’t make a fire , use the alcohol burner. Have fun cooking outdoors ! Thanks again! Take care 👍

Hi Jerry! Very glad if you enjoyed it and the fire set up. We do find that particular fire configuration good for cooking - maybe even more so without a slope 😁. It was all a tad uneven ... part of the challenge! Hope you are well and thanks so much for watching! Cheers! 😊

Hey NQU! Great to hear from you and hope you are well. Cooking is pretty critical in our household; we otherwise risk rebellion from an oft-hungry crew of teens! 😁 We are trying to get out a little more these days - good for the soul. Hope you are able to get out for some adventures yourself and that you get an omelette and bacon in soon. Again, great to hear from you and be well! Cheers! 😊

Thank you very much! 🙏 Thank you for watching & cheers! 😊

So glad you enjoyed it! It is a good sized pan. Thanks for watching! 🙏Cheers! 😊

Thanks so much, Don. There is something about being around moving water, isn't there? Cheers! 😊

Fatwood is always a lovely find, isn’t it? Fun when it is just “waiting” for us to come along. 😁 Thanks for watching! Cheers!

You are so right - it always tastes better in the great outdoors. Hope you are doing well. Thanks so much for watching! Cheers! 😊

Thanks so much for watching! Glad if you enjoyed it! 😊 Cheers!

☺️Thanks so much, Max. Glad you enjoyed it. Hope you are on the mend and getting some outdoor time in, too. Be well!! Cheers!

Much better now but still only local walks but I have been approved to do short hikes (a mile or two, easy to light moderate. The doc is still concerned about solo.

@@HikeCamp Encouraging news about short hikes. Could see why the doc would be concerned re solo. Too bad we didn’t live a few thousand miles closer 😁… Hope you can get those short hikes in soon. Do take good care!

Prime location with relaxing creek to calm the soul. I’ve been eyeing a carbon steel frypan like yours… it has a lot of real estate for cooking multiple items at the same time… as well as reheating up different cooked items for the finish like you did. Breakfast is my most favorite meal to cook and eat. Excellent stove and fire building and cooking execution. Props to your wife with the videography and editing. Never thought of using my axe for making feather sticks… but it works! Cheers! 🤗

Great to hear from you Larry & thanks for the kind words. You won't regret a carbon steep frypan. Works tremendously well with the Firebox too. We finally sleuthed out the maker of this one and it seems it was manufactured by Bon Gourmet of France. Hope there is a good breakfast cookout in the near future for you! Thanks again and cheers! 😊

Doing plenty of wood prep is part of the fun (not to mention warming one up the first time!) and then allows for the pleasure of simply relaxing and enjoying the fire for many hours afterwards. Thanks for watching! Cheers! 😊

Thanks so much, Andrew. That's the same way we feel at the end of our adventures. Letting the fire burn down and go out is always too soon! We're pretty happy with the cast iron. It is plenty big enough for the two of us at least. Thanks again! Cheers! 😊

Hey Joshua, We are enjoying the cast iron a great deal, both at home and when we are out and about. Hopefully yours is coming soon. A fry-basket would be quite the addition! Hope you and family are keeping well! Thanks for watching & Cheers! 😊

Hi Max, What a wonderful memory - sounds pretty darn delicious too. Such youthful adventures with friends were simply the best. Simplicity is often the best (we always start out our planning saying "we'll just make something simple..." and then it morphs into something a little more. 😂 Maybe we will learn eventually 😜. Hope you are still on the mend and keeping well! Thanks for stopping by. Cheers!

Glad to keep you guessing a little 😉.. we do enjoy our woodsy tea. Thanks for watching and coming along with us. Cheers! 😊

Thanks so much. Finding good wood makes such a difference, doesn’t it? Re. Food: we had to do something original for National Grilled Cheese Sandwich Day😊. Thanks for watching & have a great weekend!

It varies... We campout as often as we can (usually hammock camping) although not as often as we might like (kids are all getting older but they still seem to want us around sometimes 😁 😉).

Hi Joshua! Great to hear from you! Just released a video from our first outing with the cast iron pans. 'Had a little fun with them in the woods last weekend 😁.. and we were fortunate to still have snow on the grounds but certainly had far less this year than we often do in winter. The oval pan came from a local thrift store many years ago. We bought it to use with our Coleman camp stove and it has become a beloved camp pan. Unfortunately it has no indication of manufacture on it but we have speculated that maybe it is European given the angle of the handle. Regardless, the long handle makes it fantastic for the fire. Hope you and family are all doing great! Thanks for stopping by and cheers! 😊

Glad you enjoyed it & thanks for watching! Cheers!

Glad you like them! And glad if you enjoyed the food, as well. Thanks for stopping by & cheers! 😊

Thanks! It’s a solid meal for a winter day! Cheers!

Thanks so much! Cheers!

Hi Andrew, We carry salt, black pepper, red pepper, oregano, sugar, and dehydrated salted herbs (herbs salé) as standard issue. A bulb or a few cloves of garlic are pretty standard, too. Other spices tend to vary depending on what we plan to make. When we make up our dehydrated meals for multi-day treks, we vacuum seal the spices in with the meal. Your base kit is sounds great. Do you always keep your spices in Nalgene containers? We have had disappointing experiences with the Nalgene products not sealing well so we have a variety of "salvaged" containers that we use. The little glass jars are mostly when we are within walking distance of home. Glass is certainly not ideal in the backcountry, not the least because of the risk of breakage. Thanks for watching! Cheers!

Thanks for such a kind comment. We are happy to know that the videos convey some sense of calm, regardless of the specifics of our adventures or cooking find nature very relaxing and soothing for the soul and feel that letting nature speak for itself is far more valuable than anything we might have to say. Thanks, again. 🙏

Wow, thank you! UA-cam is definitely a mystery at times. 😁 Hope you are doing well! Cheers from Canada! 🇨🇦😊

Their Altai Hok skis are in the “trekking ski” category. They are short and wide, have metal edges and built in climbing skins. The bindings pivot up at the front like cross country skis, but they’re designed to fit whatever boots you choose to wear, like a snowshoe would. Thus, you can stay in one boot for the entire day as you go from ski to Microspikes, to bare boot. They are designed to be a single option that merges the best of snowshoes and skis into one, when the terrain you’re going through isn’t groomed and may not even have developed trails. Being shorter, they are less awkward, for sure. As winters get warmer, with more rain and uneven snow, these skis start to make a lot more sense for the backcountry traveller. Other companies have gotten into the trekking ski game, such as Black Diamond with their GlideLite series.

@@andymytys awesome info…..thanks. 👍

Glad you enjoyed it! Cheers!

Great to hear from you and happy to know you enjoyed it. Thanks for watching 😊 Cheers!

Thank you so much for the beautiful comment. We really appreciate the encouragement and we will do our best to keep making videos. Thanks again and take good care! Cheers!😊

Hey Joshua, Fell a little behind answering comments on our last video. Send you a response on your other comment about the pan a few minutes ago. Wonderful to hear that your wife enjoyed the video as well. Always nice when we can do things as a couple with our beloved. Thanks so much for watching and have a great weekend! Cheers!

Thanks so much - glad if you enjoyed it. Cheers!

Hi! We actually brought the Nano on our last trip and it is indeed a good support for the Trangia. This trip, our hope was to make a bigger fire to cook over than the Nano allows for. As we only take our backpacks as carry on and the full size Firebox fire sticks are a problem for airport security, we opted to pack the Scout. We took the Trangia as a backup but since we weren’t allowed to make fires (generally very strict regulations and drought conditions) it became our only option to cook over. In the past, we also used the Trangia with merely the Scout cross bars directly on the ground. The fire sticks stuck into the ground like tent pegs close together also work well as a pot stand. For our most recent travels, the Scout was an effective windshield and pot stand for the Trangia and it was a chance to try something a little different. Our preference is always for real wood fires and a variety of other (usually larger and longer! 😁) knives. Knives also pose a big issue traveling within Spain thus only carrying the Victorinox Spartan this time. Thanks so much for your thoughtful comment and questions… and for watching! 😊 Cheers!

Thanks so much - glad if you enjoyed! Yes, we were on a bit of a backpacking trek for a couple weeks. Back home in the ❄️ now 😁! Hope you are well! Cheers!

😂 If we move to Spain and open a restaurant, we’ll name it “The Square Tortilla” for you! 🤣 Be well & cheers from Canada 🇨🇦 😊

@@KettleCamping 😜

Thanks very much - it was rather spur of the moment and we we’re grateful to be able to soak up the scenery from that vantage point. Thanks for watching! Cheers!

Thank you for the kind words. Challenges are often part of the fun, although they can be more fun in retrospect than in the heat of the action when you just don't know how it is going to pan out. No doubt we will make it again when we are out and about. It is a favourite at home and, as you say, low and slow is key for eggs. Re: lack of a dial - lol - so true. The dimmer was definitely a help with temperature control. Thanks, again. Cheers!

Hi! No doubt you see a lot of ducks in your part of the world. She was a stressed mama with us paddling so close. Shavins makes a lot of sense since that is effectively what we're doing to the wood. Thanks so much for watching. Cheers!

@@KettleCamping Yes we see quite a few ducks , not as many as Central Canada but still lots lol.

@tuckerandi So glad you found us - welcome to our little channel! Cheers :)

@@KettleCamping Thanks , hopefully I might have something on my little channel you might find entertaining as well.

Thanks very much and glad you enjoyed it. The Scout really can be a powerhouse. Make that video and we will have to check it out! Thanks for watching & cheers!
