Hey, Mav. Just wanted to thank you for your content. I was never much of an outdoor person growing up, but have become one recently thanks to you. Saw your truck camping videos and needed to experience for myself. Already become more of a fisherman, car guy and general outdoorsman, all from being inspired by you to go out there and enjoy life.

[@teresarose731]

Turnip greens,collard greens, mustard greens, kale greens, cleaned and cut leaves up. Put in pressure cooker. Add about 2 cups water, salt, pepper, pepper flakes, garlic powder, smoke jowl. Put lid and jigger on. Cook on high. When pot starts jiggering, turn heat down a little and let cook about 30 minutes. Release pressure as directed. Need a pan of cornbread to eat with it , raw onion and some vinegar sprinkled on. Western Ky, USA

[@9thGenerationCajun]

Mav i grew up about 60 miles east of where you were for this trip. I grew up doing swamp tours for my dad's business. These guys were the real deal for a south Louisiana experience.

Wash those greens next time mav!!! Use apple cider vinegar in the broth as well to cut down the pungent flavor and to tenderize the greens. I put smoked turkey wings, garlic, onion, black pepper, salt, red pepper flakes & onion powder in mine.

Murray always makes me smile. The awesome hosts. The late night boat party extravaganza (kind of scary at first lol). Love it. Thank you!

[@puccipower]

All I've got to say is that I'm never going to forget you putting the veggies into the crawfish boil that way. It makes me want to cook veggies in a big cheese cloth on a smaller scale. Pretty smart.

[@jsfjames]

25:07. My dad used to say that to me when teaching me to do stuff. "I'm not asking you if you wanna try, do you want to do it?"

As a displaced Texan who used to hunt and skin them, I don't have much fear of rattlesnakes. But, I've had enough run ins with extremely aggressive water moccasins to be terrified to have been as close to that one as y'all were. I've had them chase me miles upstream when wade fishing.
