[@SonOfMiltank]

The birds are both relaxing and also loud as hell I love it

[@Ku55Zz]

Id recommend getting a sleeping mask to help with the light in the morning and possibly some comfortable ear plugs to help with the sound. Thats what I do when I camp it it helps tremendously!

[@EphemeralRift]

someone else suggested the ear plugs, but i tried those at home and end up subconsciously taking them out in the middle of the night lol

⁠​⁠​⁠@@EphemeralRifttry different kind of ear plugs, try to buy as soft as possible. And not too big. Some of them are comfortable and some are not. So maybe you just had a bad kind of ear plugs 🤔

[@nathannunes427]

Hey Uncle E just wanted to say thank you for the videos you make. I have terrible insomnia and since I found you back when you made the insomnia killer you have helped me sleep every night since then. An idea I had for you is maybe doing a fishing asmr catch and release style if you’re not into keeping your own catch. Either way keep doing what you’re doing!!! Thank you again!

[@Whetfaartz1]

i like this.

[@Bajamamut]

Hmm... Maybe he could begin the video outdoors, next to a fishing spot IRL, and then pull out one of these electronic fishing devices "for kids" with fishes and/or ducks and start fishing those 😂

[@EphemeralRift]

well i don't liek the idea of catch and release and maiming fish potentially killing them from the hook bite. but i think i might do fishing with no hooks. it's all about the sounds and environment anyway, not so much the fish themselves amirite ;)

[@r.l.9986]

​@@EphemeralRift thats a solid idea! Maybe catching some shells in sand or something at a quiet beach in the nature. Keep it going uncle E!

[@nathannunes427]

@@EphemeralRift absolutely it was more of the ambiance of sitting and waiting plus the sounds of the fishing pole and nature than it was ever about catching the fish. Thank you again!!!

[@solidskullz5736]

Camping can be pretty tiring so every now and then you gotta relax and refuel. Rift is going doing both but he can help us do one

[@HE13272326]

It's amazing how much camping equipment there is by now. With some quality gear one can have as much comfort as in a hotel

you can go as minimalist as having a tent rolled up on your back with minimal supplies to Glamping.

[@EphemeralRift]

haha, we'll see what happens!

[@erasedcf]

Actually you can use jetboil for frying, you just need one small add-on for it, google the pot support for jetboil. It does not cost you more space, it assembles to the cup with the stove. It makes jetboil universal, i just love it and have it always not only for hiking, but for car traveling too. Thx for the video, you are the best as usual! ❤

[@kevinsips3658]

Hey ER, don’t forget that some of those camping meals are going to be eaten after a long day of heavy to moderate exercise and sweating! Think Appalachian trail thru hikers. Replenishing your electrolytes after that is vital for being able to keep going the next day, and 50% of DV could actually be a very modest amount depending on your water usage throughout the day.

[@lukasskinner6944]

Nature is so healing 🎉

[@esschneider06]

FYI jetboil makes a small adapter you can put on top of the flame assembly that will allow you sit pots and pans on it. Works just as well as the pocket rocket.

[@EphemeralRift]

Thanks! Yeah, i knew that when i saw it in the store and looked online, just left my mind in the moment

[@austinleiby5907]

This was another video from your camping stories what I really enjoyed. But fos second try 😂. Because in first try I fell asleep about 15 minutes after 😂.

You chose great place to make this type of ASMR videos. Thank you Uncle ER! John from Czech republic. ❤

[@padarious3797]

Brillant video I’ve enjoyed many of your videos throughout the years and am really enjoying the nature videos you do now, watching the assembly of all the cooking equipment was really engaging for me and I find myself watching the entire video being able to relax without my brain wondering and getting distracted wanting to look for different things to watch and totally agree with what you said about being outdoors there’s moments when I listen to the birds and it can just bring such joy videos like this help remind me that everything’s okey thank you for all that you put in to making these loving them all 😊

This is a great video🎉I love outdoor asmr that you make

[@J_GoTTi]

Thanks for the bolognese E.R.!

[@aaronpthompson]

One thing I would recommend investing in is something called a long spoon (self explanatory), it just makes it easier to stir/eat from those dehydrated food packets without getting your hand in the actual packet. Also the pocket rocket is a much more packable and lightweight alternative to the jet boil but lacks some features, for example the boil time is much greater, you’d need to invest in external pots and pans and it lacks a wind guard which means you would need to be either sheltered or bring your own so just some things to think about for the future. The stove system above the jet boil would be a liquid stove system (MSR make some great ones such as the whisper lite) They are pricy but liquid fuel has a much greater efficiency so saves you money compared to white gas. They are also much quieter and burn much hotter so take less time to boil water and they burn hot enough to cook actual food on, so not just those dehydrated meals. Plus they pack small. They are also much better for the environment as you can refuel the liquid gas canisters yourself. I really love this style of ASMR and appreciate the time, effort and research you must go through to make them :)

[@EphemeralRift]

Thanks for all that info ! I did consider liquid fuel, we'll see what happens in the future as I do want to make a video where I cook a regular meal on a pan over a fire.

[@ISABELL9966]

[@johnnyruoff665]

Seeing an ER video on my feed has me feeling melancholy - a while ago I felt pretty hurt from the things over here, but I also know you were one of the reasons I’m alive right now after a really hard night in high school after my brother passed away. It looks as though you have grown since the last time I saw you - or maybe it’s just the really beautiful nature tricking me, either way, hope you are well Uncle E.

i just got back 2 days ago from a 2 week camping/fishing trip out west to colorado, idaho, and wyoming. also a pa resident but we have a jet boil and it was great. we used those peak meals and i tried the breakfast skillet and it was probably the worst one. the chicken alfredo is so good
