    My hubby grew up in Clearfield County and is familiar with all the state parks in that area. I have hiked at Parker Dam in the winter and enjoyed it. Our hiking club had a campout there quite a few years ago. LEDs are great. They use so little power and don't generate. Thanks for sharing!

    Cliff,
    You can put all the ingredients on one side of that sandwich Melter
    rather than both sides. That way nothing will shift, it's easier.
    Someone sent me a message about your working with children and teaching them Botany and survival skills.
    That is so nice!
    Cheers,

    We use the sandwich size bread, fits well and isn't too thick. It is available in whole wheat some places, and that is my preference. I use Swiss cheese and sliced ham and only a few slices so it heats well. The pizza suggestion is also a favorite. Wait, you need desert, so jams and pie filling works well. Trout, small bass and sunfish takes only minutes in the mountain pie maker. I always preheat the cooker, that seems to make the cooking more even.

    • @frankforrest1597
      @frankforrest1597 3 роки тому

      I do the same process of preheating the sandwich thingy and desert(blueberry jam and Nutella or peach jam and slices of banana). The best meals derive over a fire pit.

    Karthaus in Clearfield county is the place to go for elk. Pretty decent sized herd that is fairly accessible. They're super active in May, to the point you'll hit one with your car if you aren't careful.

  • @SueGirling68
    @SueGirling68 3 роки тому +2

    Hi Cliff, you should get two metal fishing pole Y shaped stakes and a third metal pole then put the 2 Y shaped ones in the ground either side of the fire and the other one place across the 2 Y poles, make sure they are ones that can withstand a campfires temps then just get a hanging and an S hook, you won't need your gas burner then as much as you can cook stuff or heat water over the campfire. xx

  • @tomtransport
    @tomtransport 3 роки тому +7

    Thanks Cliff, 3 rd time was the charm, you could have scratched some of the black off the bread ,I do it to toast all the time. Great sleep over. Listening to children play beats the traffic noise for sure. Someone said you could have moved the picnic table but yours may have fell apart if you did.

    • @lilsuzq32
      @lilsuzq32 3 роки тому +1

      If you have a small *open* cast-iron skillet, that's a better way to do toasted sandwiches over the fire; you can control the heat and flip the sandwich with a spatula to avoid burning. I don't even own a toaster here at home, I use my cast iron pan all the time -- even to just make toast, English muffins, etc.

  • @Sparty-pi3jq
    @Sparty-pi3jq 3 роки тому +1

    I've found its helpful to grab a packet of mayo or 2 from a gas station or fast food establishment, it really helps the taste and texture of the canned ham. Otherwise it's a decent little camp food.

    If I remember correctly, there is an octagon shelter or building that the boy scouts used to camp at up there. Years ago, there was a tornado that swept through that area. There were a bunch of scouts in the building. The tornado mowed down the trees all around the shelter but the shelter was untouched. I heard that there was a lot of praying goin' on in that building. It certainly helped! I was so relieved that no one was hurt.

  • @lynfl9814
    @lynfl9814 3 роки тому +2

    A tip for you, Cliff.
    You're a scientific kind of guy. One of the reasons your sandwich burns so easily is, you are using olive oil. Olive Oil has a 'low smoke point.' That means olive oil burns easily. It is not good for sautéing on a stove top either. Avocado Oil has a 'high smoke point;' so, it will not burn as easily. One of the best Avocado Oils to use is called Chosen 100% Avocado Oil. Many oils in the store are cut with cheaper oils; you want to buy a good one. An open fire on the bottom of an iron cooking device will burn much quicker, too. When we camp; I start a fire about an hour before I cook and cook over the coals. Someone said you should use butter; it has excellent taste; but, it also has a 'low smoke point' and it will easily burn, too. Avocado Oil has a good flavor and will not burn as easily.

    Good video. You make me miss camping so much. We haven’t gone for many years. Can you do a video on your tent and air mattress ? It looks really nice and thick like it’d be comfortable and the tent looks so easy to put up. I like that little light too. It’s really nifty.
    Your sandwiches look like mine. I’ve been cooking for many years but I always burn my grilled cheeses. 😊

  • @robertvirtue8070

    Cliff why not use your campfire to heat your water. , You can open tin cans like Bake beans and heat them in the can on the fire.. M y dad got an old teakettle we used to heat water and put it in a paper bag to store. Put shaving cream on the outside of pans to remove the blacken soot off the pans. We also had a cast iron frying pan for cooking we kept in a bag too.
