Dude! You are awesome! I’ve been hiking ID and MT backcountry for years and really planned on stepping up my trail culinary skills this year. So glad I found your channel! Uncle Bens rice? Jiffy mix? Stuffing with gravy?! What??!! Definitely enjoying all those this year. I have been sporting the avocado on trail for years tho. Nothing more tasty. Thank you so much!! Keep the vids flowing
Cheers Kevin! Happy to help!
Thanks Chef Corso for revolutionizing my Outdoor Eats experience. I always wanted to bike across the US, but didn’t want to eat 45 days of dehydrated meals, and didn’t want to eat from connivence stores. Thanks to the Outdoor Eat option I am in the logistics planning phase of the trip. Plan to resupply at grocery stores every 3-5 days. As a Whole Food Plant Based eater, food is no longer a limiting factor. Plus I am trying all the meal plans from the cookbooks and find it delicious enough for any meal. Bocca Bocca!
cheers john! happy the recipes are working for you and your trips are tastier. Let's me know if you have any specific questions.
A lot of people say they hike for the food, you are the first person who actually hikes for the food! love it. also your trip looked stunning. The PNW looks so different then the North East where I hike around!
When you have a great meal, in a beautiful location with fun people, it's a trifecta that's what it's all about! The PNW is a very pretty part of the world.
excellent meal ideas, especially the cornbread mix!
Thanks Brooke! Grits/Polenta/Cornbread mix is a very versatile ingredient. It can turn into bacon cheddar, tuscan, tex mex chili and tamale bowl. Really tasty and satisfying.
Super cool. Can’t wait to try some of your options and get those hooks. I’ll be on your website fir the second day.
That is not a "shitty" view Chef! This is a great series and really opened my eyes to "fresh" cooking on the trail.
cheers txag!
Way to go Chef Corso! Love the novel concept of FOOD on the trail. Genius. And the tips are great. Nice job! Nice detail changing the shoelaces. Best.
Thanks Walter! Welcome along. And you are the first person to ever notice the shoe laces, ha!
TMI on the potty situation! But that sunrise on Day 4? WOW.
Re. Food safety-- cheese exists because it's a way to make milk safe for a long time! Ditto for sausages. Many of the "lunch" type foods are hearty enough to easily travel for days, which is why we eat them for unrefrigerated lunches. Finally, bacterial food poisoning or food borne illnesses (the kind that you would need to worry about while hiking) hit *fast*--usually within an hour or two of consumption, rarely more than 24 hours. Sure, you can pick up a parasite from infected water, but 1) you are using a steri-pen and 2) you are boiling your water.
heh..sorry? yea, it was a pretty nice way to start the day.
Thanks for the video, definitely giving me new ideas for backpacking meals!
Everything looks mouth watering! Thanks for sharing.
Video while on the toilet...great time management, lol!
also check out this video on helpful utensils: ua-cam.com/video/B8jXG1udeZU/v-deo.html
😂😂 nice “dumpage view”
You inspired me. I have to assume you had a lot of left over?
Welcome aboard! Not much, watch through to the end and I show what’s left
Our local grocery has jiffy for 59 cents this week. May have to try that!
You need some Bama grits though!
it's an amazing ingredient. Can't wait to have some true Southern grits
@@ChefCorso do you have a PO Box address? I’ll mail you some!
@@donnaquinn3820 Thank you for the offer, but no worries. I will be down South over the next few months and can pick some up.
Could the stuffing bag have been used s the adhoc bowl? saves making 2 iterations in a small pot. Just an observation. Great video, Great Content!! Found out about you 2 nights ago, and have been watching ever since.
Hey Woody! Sure could. For this trip I really wanted to test out the small capacity of the pot, but I think for future solos, I'll do the adhoc bowl or 500 ml pot. Thanks for comin along!
Truly inspiring!!
Stuffing balls is a new idea to me and one I'm going to try out, looks great !!!
What sort of delicious was that day 4 lunch ??? 😅😋😅
Food lasts longer than we think, but not on my plate 😁
Stuffing is a great ingredient to have in the pantry for meal prep. It was realllly tasty!
I did it and the AT it is always sad at the end of trail.
Thank you for the fantastic recipes. I love your videos. One question...how do you not get food poisoning from that pizza bowl that's been in your pack for three days?
I took a risk, but a minimal one. most of the ingredients in the recipe are low risk and and the pepperoni has a ton of preservatives. do what you're most comfortable with!
Just curious. Knowing ahead you might need to cook twice because of the small pot, why didn't you use a larger pot. I don't imagine weight is the factor as it is very small in relation to the total pack weight.
Hi Jerry! Well, I wanted to test it to see if a 300 ml pot could work for a longer trek. And for some meals I only needed one cooking, like breakfast. It can work but for future solo trips I will probably take a 600 ml.
So, I am finding this to be super interesting. What I would be concerned about is foodborn illness. I was under the impression that cooked rice needed to be refrigerated within a couple of hours or it could become dangerous. What makes this okay? Obviously Chef Corso did not get sick
Hey DS! Great concern. Cooked hot rice is a PHF and if working in a restaurant it needs to get out of the DZ in 4 hours. Things on the trail are a little different. I did take a risk with this meal sitting for days but it was a minimal risk. There are a lot of fresh (not raw) foods that can last longer than we think with minimal issue. Always pack and eat what you are comfortable eating. Cheers!
@@ChefCorso thank you for taking the time to respond
Do you have a water sourcing video do you use your planner to estimate how much water you will need for the meals for the next day and get it before Leaving camp to the next spot?
Hey again D! I don't, mainly because every trip is so different for water needs both personally and for cooking. I think it's important to be mindful daily and for the next day and be flexible for water planning.
🖖
I noticed you carried a very large fuel canister. Did you use all of that fuel on the trip, or is that just your defacto canister size?
Don’t think I used it all, but sometimes for the longer trips I like to budget a little bit more
Lol I thought it was funny and practical.
olha azidéia, comendo limao kkkk
Was interesting until potty mouth.
Oh no! Not a couple of innocent words that weren't directed towards anyone but instead used as an adjective to positively describe something! How will you survive?! FFS, grow up.
@@amorton94 Like your opinion is more valuable than mine?
Words never hurt anyone physically. Step up the mental game..
