Backcountry Cooking | Calzone On The Frybake

As promised, after several comments asking for me to show more cooking on the Frybake, I show how to cook from scratch a quick bread, then create a nice hearty calzone in the backcountry.

I just bought one before I saw your videos and I’m beyond stoked for spring backpacking!!!

[@UTFamilyLawAttorney]

Awesome! Love this.

[@lazylearner967]

I am going to do a test run for myself and try this recipe. Thank you Devin!

[@jacquiblanchard3131]

Oh man! That calzone looks really good!(The Fry Bake looks like a sweet piece of kit too!) I'm definitely going to try this one. Thanks so much, Devon!

For how easy it is to make, everyone shovel be eating like this on the trail. Let me know how it goes. Thanks as always for watching.

This looks great! You've just about got me convinced to add a Frybake set to my list of things to get. While I still see myself going for the lighter weight and convenience of cook systems for boiling water combined with one-pot/freeze-dried/FBC meals on most trips, there's definitely times and places where having the luxury of being able to cook up "gourmet" meals with something like a Frybake would be worth it. In fact, I just splurged on an MSR WindPro II, primarily for winter use, but I also like that the stove will be able to easily support and simmer things like a Frybake in addition to other wider pans, pots, and thus be more versatile for use among a small group. I've also always wanted the speed and efficiency of a JetBoil without the weight, so I also just picked up an Olicamp XTS pot to see how that performs. I'll probably be putting both of those to the test tonight in single digits. Dang...the addition of the XTS to my cookware collection also means I'm going to have more options and thus even more hard decisions to make with gear to take on certain spring/summer/fall trips.

[@BackcountryExposure]

Nice Will! Yeah I love the Frybake, but I don't take it on every trip. It's all dependent on what type of cooking I want to do, and how long i'll be out. I'm more likely to take it on a summer trip where I am already carrying less gear, and can manage the extra space, cause I'm not carrying a pair of long pants, or gloves and the weight difference doesn't add to my base weight. Let me know how the wind pro does. Im interested to see how it performs.

[@JagerOtter]

EXCELLENT Brother! Guess this is what we are making this weekend. Yea we're watching all your old videos on Frybakes. Hope to get out with you soon maybe the same place as usual.

[@TheWasatchGearReview]

Definitely made me hungry! Imma go eat! Great video Devin

[@climbingohio739]

[@BackcountryExposure]

Pbudi thank you!

[@naturecallsoutdoors]

Excellent. I must get a frypan now.

[@BackcountryExposure]

Get yourself a fry bake! You won't regret it! Thanks for watching.

[@MrJKD360]

Yes the calzone! Thanks for the vid!!! BTW, Mentioned you in the Paria Outdoors survey as to how we heard about their products. They didn't even have KZbin as an option. Had to write it in.

[@BackcountryExposure]

Joshua Dalrymple Thanks for watching! Thanks for the shout out too. They are a cool brand.

[@TimWatsonOutdoors]

Man that looked really good. Eating like a king on the trail. 👍

[@BackcountryExposure]

It's the only way to do it! And it was delicious! Thanks Tim.

[@jeromebullard6123]

[@live4wild968]

Looks tasty, Thanks Devin

[@uptrail7169]

It looks like you have a good channel! I will check out your other videos. I subbed!

[@BackcountryExposure]

uptrail71 thank you sir! Hope you enjoy.

[@chris15325]

How do you deal with bear poking around after cooking this? Do you change clothes before bed? Are baby wipes enough to get the food scent off of fingers? Are you sleeping very far from the cooking area? New to this. Going to Canyonlands backcountry beginning November with 2 friends

[@kellyburdette4123]

looks great I am going to do this

[@BackcountryExposure]

Kelly Burdette Let me know how it goes!

[@kellyburdette4123]

It keeps you clean and dry

[@JaxxDrinkwater]

Looks fantastic. I really like that fry bake. Thanks for sharing. Is that marinara homemade? Do you mind sharing>

[@BackcountryExposure]

Jaxx Drinkwater If you're willing to carry the extra weight then cooking on the fry bake is killer! The marinara I got from a local pizza shop. Haven't made homemade marinara in a long time. You have a recipe?

[@edped79]

great recipe. what kind of head lamp do you have?

[@BackcountryExposure]

Edward Pedregon thanks. I was testing out the Foxelli MX500. Pretty cool lamp.

[@manitoulinknifeworks]

Great stuff! Are you happy with the GSI Pinnacle in cold weather?

[@BackcountryExposure]

manitoulinknifeworks yeah I actually am. There's a couple negatives, I feel like the feet are too small to sit on snow, so a piece of tinfoil as a base would be good, or just something to keep it from sinking. When using it in liquid fuel mode (canister upside down) it becomes harder to get fine adjustments on the burner making it sputter a little. But overall it's a great Stove. I'll have a full review soon. Thanks for watching.

Be cautious where you are cutting your food! Highly recommend not cutting anything in your lap- especially in the backcountry. Knife to the leg/crotch zone is no bueno.
