Love that cowboy camping, I don't know what's better, the campfire, the food, the music, the desert itself or that whole out in the wild thing, if that makes any sense
Broham, you need to just keep a mini set of spices in your car trunk. I use several small, cheap travel salt-n-pepper shakers for salt, pepper, cayenne, curry, cinnamon, other spices and keep it all in a cleaned-out plastic Ovaltine jar in a corner of my SUV's steel security drawer. Used a label maker to label each shaker with what's in it.
Wool socks are truly the MVP. My dog loved going on walks in the -10 to 20 F temp range and some good wool socks really helped let me learn to love it as well lmao
Let me tell ya', I've been drifting the country for the last four years. I've slept in just about every environment you could think of. And, in that environment, the ground is... bumpy. If you don't have padding, you're either inexperienced, a bit on the slow side, a masochist, or as tough as nails. LOL... ALWAYS take padding with you, if at all possible, or find something you can use as padding. If not, you get little sleep, and spend the next day in a haze, and even if your just camping, that makes it more likely you'll make mistakes, lose things, hurt yourself, etc.
I have discovered in the old projector style tv’s that people toss from time to time have some very high quality lenses in them on the projector lights. They do a great job with getting a fire going on a bundle since they are about the size of your palm.
The next knife I purchase will be your "Snake Eater." I've had my eye on it for awhile, but I've been making my way (as a drifter/nomad) across the US, on my way to Alaska. So, I've had to forgo buying a few things. But, I'm in the final stretch of my Walkabout, and the "Snake Eater" is going to be one of the first things I buy. Brilliant design. It will be on my hip, 24/7. Great video, as always. 🤙
@@JunkyardFox Yeah... I think I am. I didn't realize it, at first. I to told myself I just wanted to find a cool city/town to settle down. But, the longer I've been gone, through all the headaches and hardships, I realized: I like being free. As Socrates once said: "I am neither Athenian nor Greek, but a citizen of the world." It's changed my life. I no longer value money and material possessions. Nothing wrong with money, and I have a couple things that would piss me off to lose. But, everything that I need and want can fit into my backpack and haversack. I value experiences. THAT'S what people will regret, on their deathbed. The extra hours to get a promotion, saving up money to buy things they don't even really want it care about... at the expense of the experiences they COULD HAVE HAD. I think many people will regret things like that, and far sooner than they think. My next stop? Juneau, Alaska. I'm going to spend this summer there, stay until next spring. I need time to do some research, get better gear. Then, in heading into the Nahanni Valley (Valley of the Headless Men) in Canada's Northwest Territories. I have reason to think that an EXTREMELY elusive and xenophobic tribe of native people lived there, and hopefully, still do. I won't bore you (any more than I have... lol) with the details. I'll just say that, there is nowhere left on this planet (land-wise) that is less explored than that region. Not even the Amazon. Whether I find them, or not, is irrelevant. It's like Hunter S. Thompson once said: “Life should not be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in a pretty and well preserved body, but rather to skid in broadside in a cloud of smoke, thoroughly used up, totally worn out, and loudly proclaiming "Wow! What a ride!"
Very motivational James, absolutely love desert camping and don't see enough videos depicting it. I agree, definitely want to be off the ground in Summer months. Using the magnifying lens to start fire was a nice touch. Cheers to you good sir 💪
Thx for doing stuff that's different. I have watched another guy for his adventures for several years, but the past year or so they are all the same. I really like how you keep it interesting by teaching us new things. Blessings!
James.... love the idea of you experimenting with a magnifying lens to make fire. However, my friend NEVER try that without wearing dark glasses. The intensity of the suns light at the focal point on the tinder or char cloth can damage your retina! Be safe my friend....... Ax
Cool camping video! Love the area you live in around El Paso. Your close to all the good New Mexico outdoors. The food looked delicious. I'm glad you were carrying, just because you just don't know what can happen in the night.
Great video man!!! I miss the days I could lay on the ground and be comfortable. I’m now using a therm a rest zlite and xtherm blow up pad to cushion the ground or I will be crippled. Really enjoy the work you do man
Blessing in disguise leaving the marinade and the spices. It made it more authentic 😅. Quite an adventure you got there. I love your attitude towards life. We are taking our goat doe for a walk to the river's edge, so we gonna get our boots dirty. Keep 'em coming James. Saludos a Cuervo Negro!
I read a book when I was young that was written in it . When camping like the cowboy way they prefer loose blankets because of the fact that you might have a visitor when you are asleep. Then there was a picture of rattlesnake laying beside the cowboy.
@13:00 that was a very kind explanation abt the Critters that might Crawl At Night, i absolutely clicked on this vid wondering why you were w/o a tent very cool thanks
Dinner looks wonderful even without your special marinade. Yes, that Knorr Mexican Rice mixture likely had a bit of salt within it so not all was sad about the spice level. You did fine. So exciting to camp like that. I did that as a child during an activity for a night with the Summer Camp I attended Southern Calif. in the mountains.
11:20 honestly this is where beers come in useful😅. Otherwise i would ABSOLUTELY not be able to sleep knowing i don't have a shelter above me and a raging pit of fire beside me,and especially after that camping-went-wrong incident last year.
The only problem with that is beers make you pee a lot and man does that get annoying. You get warm and comfortable in bed as the night gets cold, but then you gotta get up to pee and lose and that warmth. Takes forever to get comfortable again
If it were me, jus sayin 👌 i would have just thrown that chix on that rack first all the way thru. Then cooked the veggies in the skillet seperate from the chix. Once chix done cut it into cubes or strips and add to your half cooked veggies and take off the grill by then since the pan will be hot for a good min. Hope this helps
Last summer out camping I was laying down and trying to fall asleep and all of a sudden I heard what sounded like a damn banshee. Damn fox in heat. Scared the crap out of me for a minute.
Great video James! I was going to ask about how you got the camera to run the sunrise. Very cool. Also, for the viewers that really love this channel and all of the creative energy that James and Cuervo give us, PLEASE join me as a patreon! You will love it, and that is a promise. BTW, James...uh, who is that PYT showing off your Snakeeater knife? Wow. You live a charmed life. Drive on!
Someday I will be a Patreon. Life is a bit hard now, but it should get better next year. We have been trying to get a goat doe for 3 years and finally got her. Now to get going on my business venture. Hopefully I can make it happen and join you there!
Maybe take a stick and carve a spear point on it for those pesky snakes ☺️ until you can use a more useful tool after that? I know you have some Victorinox knives, as I've seen in some of your other videos, but was wondering what you thought about the RangerGrip series? More specifically the RangerGrip 58? I have that one and like it a lot! ☺️ One hand open on the main blade is a must for me!
I really like your camp and cook videos I’ve followed. Couple of your recipes and really liked them. I would be interested in just a small extension of your videos and would like to see your clean up process of your pans and pots after you eat.
@@JunkyardFox yeah, it seems counterintuitive, but I have done quite a bit of testing with them here in AZ in the winter when the sun was much less strong, using dry grass, pine needles, etc.
Congratulations on your last Video. Hope this one surpasses it! Great Video. I Cowboy camp almost all the time. I use my Hudson Bay blanket with a longfire. Well Done James..😉🍻
Great video! Just wondering if using "hunker down" and referencing a "horrible neighbor" is a tip of the hat to Steve Wallis? He too uses the phrase "hunker down" and has a " crazy neighbor" similar to your "horrible neighbor". Again, great video! Don't forget the marinade and spice pack next time! 👍🏽
Wonderful 👏 video James. I do a lot of cowboy camping 🏕 in summer. Too cold here in the winter for me. It was 10F this morning 🌄 Buuuurrrr... Couldn't afford that knife but I've got the Hunter and it's doing a great job so far. Stay warm amigo.
Good vid. Looks like somewhere around the TorC area...? In the summer, cots work great for staying off the ground if you still want to see the stars. Hammocks are popular as well, if your back can handle that sleeping posture... I had an "assigned roomie" during one extended TDY many years ago who was an amateur chef. He told me to always use the spine of the knife to scrape food off the cutting board into your pot, bowl, etc. Saves a lot of wear and tear on the knife edge. One of those "DUH!" moments for me... Made complete sense! Just my twin Lincolns... For wool socks, you can't beat Point 6 or Darn Tough! Both have MIL/LEO/VET/First Responder discounts. Check 'em out!! Something to consider for anyone wanting to sleep out in the winter like this, if there's room in your bedroll, put your jacket, shirt and pants between your sleeping bag and your outer bedroll layers. This keeps them warm, or even dries them out if they got damp, and prevents you from sweating into them during your sleep, making for a chilly morning waiting on your fire to get going. If you want to sleep in clothes in order to "be prepared", have two sets and change into your clean/dry clothes for sleeping while the others are between your layers staying warm. Now THAT'S a knife! Keep it up!
@@JunkyardFox Keep it up. I'm a retired Soldier w/ multiple tours to the sandbox (who grew up in NM and live in AZ) and you still open my eyes to new things. Us old dawgs can still learn from the younger generation. Again, keep it up.
@@JunkyardFox I agree - a solid full tang knife is the way to go for compleat reliability - but a tuber I sub to has broken many fixed blades - I think they all broke under extreme intensional abusive testing - only a few survived - one was the 4max - the higher end better steel seems to be less durable - I like to watch equipment tests - a knife is such an important item - it has to be bullet proof - hopefully we never have to test our knives to such extents
Do you get chiggers in the summer there in El Paso? Cuz I remember when I was stationed at Fort Hood I slept on the ground one time on a tarp and I got chiggers I didn't even know what the hell chiggers was till somebody told me, man they itched like crazy AF
LOL! I had my share at Ft. Hood, Ft. Polk and Ft. Stewart. I never had them overseas. One of my guys got a fever from chigger bites and had to be MEDEVACed from Peason Ridge at Ft. Polk.
When I was a young man,I use to do this all the time with myself and my horse ,I used my saddle for a wind break, good times
Camping in the desert is so beautiful.
Thanks for showing how different ways and prepare for different seasons.
Love that cowboy camping, I don't know what's better, the campfire, the food, the music, the desert itself or that whole out in the wild thing, if that makes any sense

Usually carry one on my bag but I took it out a few days ago and forgot

Was waiting for a junkyard fox stuffed animal to go w the rest of your bedroll. LOL
Thanks for another fantastic video.
I'm thinking of moving to Texas. I like the freedom Texans have.
With all that padding, it’s more like a Princess and The Pea camp out. 😂 JUUUUST PLAYING. I’d do at least the same. 👍
Let me tell ya', I've been drifting the country for the last four years. I've slept in just about every environment you could think of. And, in that environment, the ground is... bumpy.
If you don't have padding, you're either inexperienced, a bit on the slow side, a masochist, or as tough as nails.

Love that ruger. Incredibly accurate.
If you know then you know. Great video home skillet!
One of the best overnighters you've done James! I really want to do some desert camping now!
Thank you for joining me again Jeff!
😊...WoW...warm wool socks...impressive...all this in the desert 🏜...you're safe...cozy...😊
Watched your videos when Prepared 101 was strong but quit when faltered. Just found you again snd I’m digging your videos James. Again!
The last time I cowboy camped in the desert was 1963, I was 15. Foothills of the Sandia Mountains.
Absolutely beautiful country. Really like your content
Classic Heartburn!
Using that charred cloth seems like a good idea. I also need to get that same grill for cooking, it looks perfect
Dude that is the best Cowboy Camp meal I've seen
Just found your channel, being from west Texas it’s nice to see some desert survival!
Welcome aboard!
Magnifying glass to start a fire is my favorite way to do it. It's a ton easier to do when you live in the American southwest.
I have discovered in the old projector style tv’s that people toss from time to time have some very high quality lenses in them on the projector lights. They do a great job with getting a fire going on a bundle since they are about the size of your palm.

Good point!
Right on james
I'm here in camo Verde and rimrock.. love that you do videos that relate to me
Put one wool blanket inside your sleeping bag will be warmer for you. You can keep the others to help with the fire sparks on the outside
Great idea, will do that next time
Cool camping video! Love the area you live in around El Paso. Your close to all the good New Mexico outdoors. The food looked delicious. I'm glad you were carrying, just because you just don't know what can happen in the night.
Definitely good to stay prepared
Just really good stuff!
That Snake Eater knife is sweet !
Smart to carry good video 👍
Thank You for this video
Onion cooked in olive oil then put on toasted garlic bread is heaven!!
ochiwawa columba amigo, now i want some hot chocolate, the chicken an rice dish would be great in a tortilla
Hey brother, I’ve been unconsciously picking up on your choice of music in your videos. It’s actually pretty fantastic.
Love the channel man.
That’s my buddy Cuervo who makes all the music
Good Food!
this was a lot of fun
The knife is a awesome giveaway but your knowledge is the most awesome giveaway of all. Thanks for the video.

Great vid, bro! I really liked the sunrise Timelapse.
I agree. Super artistic and well done.
The original footage was longer but once the sun came up, the camera lost focus so footage got all blurry, had to cut that out.
Those are some hot peppers James.
Hope you feel better, the dentist sucks.
cool overnite campout enjoyed watching the video

I found the plastic fresnel lenses work better than the high mag, but small glass magnifiers.
Really? I may have to order one
@@JunkyardFox yeah, it seems counterintuitive, but I have done quite a bit of testing with them here in AZ in the winter when the sun was much less strong, using dry grass, pine needles, etc.
Are scorpions or centipedes a concern out there? As far as one of them crawling in your sleeping bag? Or snakes?
I would think that Rattlesnakes aren’t a problem yet, they haven’t woken up yet from hibernation, they wake up in May.
Are I meant.
Junkyard Fox: "A question I have been asked 1000 times before: What about snakes and scorpions!"

In the summer, cots work great for staying off the ground if you still want to see the stars. Hammocks are popular as well, if your back can handle that sleeping posture...
I had an "assigned roomie" during one extended TDY many years ago who was an amateur chef. He told me to always use the spine of the knife to scrape food off the cutting board into your pot, bowl, etc. Saves a lot of wear and tear on the knife edge. One of those "DUH!" moments for me... Made complete sense! Just my twin Lincolns...
For wool socks, you can't beat Point 6 or Darn Tough! Both have MIL/LEO/VET/First Responder discounts. Check 'em out!!
Something to consider for anyone wanting to sleep out in the winter like this, if there's room in your bedroll, put your jacket, shirt and pants between your sleeping bag and your outer bedroll layers.

It would be nice to have a metal detector to do some meteorite hunting. Any scorpions in that environment in West Texas ?
james would you ever use a super folder - the cold steel 4Max scout as a main knife or even a backup - i hear great things about that knife
honestly no. i dont care for folders, or cold steel as a brand, to be frank. ill take a fixed blade any day
