Thank you, Chris, for another great video. It would be truly an honor 1 day to be able to meet you. I love to do backpacking. Haven't done it in some years, but I'm really wanting to get back into it. I'm starting to get my gear back and just the taste of the outdoors is overwhelming. Thanks again. I hope to have a very blessed day.

Chris, thanks for your videos! I’ve been watching for a little while, ever since I saw your vid about the Osprey Kestrel. Got some good input from it and ended up buying one! I think I’ve watched about 20 so far, and I’ve determined that you are one “wild and crazy guy!” In the best way though! Keep up the adventures!

Awesome, thank you!

[@bhawksfan]

Hey Chris (or anyone), I’m also looking to fry a dinner like this when I go on a trip of my own in a few weeks. How do you clean the pan and dispose of the oil/any leftovers once you’re done?

[@graves1860]

Get the pan hot again, hit it with some water and let all the junk steam off, wipe with a towel, put the towel in a ziploc and hoof it home. Use just a little water so it all evaporates off and you have very little mess apart from the towel.

[@basecampchris]

If you need a little soap...use concentrated Campsuds it's Bio-degradable and as Lugh mention wipe and pack out in a zip lock. I will also use a local source for water like the creek - dig a hole 6 to 8 inches deep for disposing of soapy wash and rinse water.

[@LHer-gn8th]

Echo yes. Any bears in this areas. Bear spray. Yes. Bear hungry 😋

[@sherryhaughton3938]

Hey Chris, I love your videos. I’ve been trying to get caught up on them anyways where did you get that pan? That is awesome.
