You guys are great. So kind to feed your friend and for him to be fed. Seriously warmed my heart.

[@Vintagebleu]

I'm with you on the wet gravy thing. Nonhomogeneous textures and flavors are important to me in food. It's my biggest grip with a lot of trail foods and your recipes are great at addressing this. I really like this meal plan format. Great way to tie things together and show how your recipes work in the field. Awesome job!

[@ChefCorso]

Cheers VB!

[@SupRBeeADV]

I live in Big Bend. bummer i missed yall while here I could of shown you some super cool local only stuff. and what you can actually use that is growing native to include in your meals.

[@ChefCorso]

Next time!

[@HostileTakeover2]

Love this! Not just some food but the realistic aspects like what you'd do differently, what did or didn't work, etc. Got a hike coming up where I'll be cooking for a few people so this was good review & ideas before doing another dive through your cookbooks.

[@ChefCorso]

Cheers HT! It isn't always perfect the first time.

[@cynthiamgentles6781]

You can deter bears from entering camp sites with a portable electric bear fence. Small kit that brings huge peace of mind.

[@turdferguson2863]

I just got a bear vault 450 and I'm stoked to try to see what I can do with it!

[@juanbackpacks]

this is great! One of my biggest struggles is trying to get more variety while being confined to the space of a BV 500. Great recipes!

[@LMay64]

Wow, these look amazing! I've never taken the fresh veggies and I'm thrilled by how fresh they look after 2-3 days. This will definitely be an addition to my backpacking meal plan this summer! Thanks Chef!

[@ChefCorso]

Cheers LM!

[@markrico1917]

Wish you would bring the music down and/or bring the spoken sections up. The difference between the two makes it jarring and painful to watch with headphones. Otherwise good content.

[@ChefCorso]

Noted MR!

[@bethanywynne7909]

Thank you!!!

[@tamaracheeseman183]

Nice recipes!

[@kitty4536]

Great video Chef! May I ask what container you use to store liquid seasoning? I mean the long, glass (or plastic?) cylinder bottles w/ white lids? They don't seem to leak at all. I'd like to know where to get these.

[@ChefCorso]

most of my bottles are just repurposed 2-8oz juice bottles. 5 hour energy bottles work great too. Walk around the grocery store and you'll find a lot of shapes and sizes available.

[@SandyWalsh]

Great idea!

[@Minnow1970]

Glad you missed the tornados!

[@richardcliff3510]

Impressed with how long the veggies lasted - plan to experiment with that. Your cooking sections go too fast, great for ideas but hard to follow more closely. Nice video

[@ChefCorso]

Cheers Richard!

[@accidentalhiker3069]

you can slow it down. The 3 little dots on the corner. The video playback speed.

[@JarradShaw]

One of the best videos!!! Thank you so much. Reason why I keep my notifications on❤️

[@ChefCorso]

Cheers JS!

[@stefanjurgens8824]

Awesome food would love to see more recipes

[@ChefCorso]

Cheers SJ! Check out more at montyboca.com. We have over 200

[@naps3386]

That was awesome, thanks Chef!

[@roxannebond662]

Hi Chef Corso n I luv this series. How much water do u bring with you? Do u carry other knives? Do u do pizza with tortillas? Do you have quick desserts for the trail? THKS Roxanne

[@ChefCorso]

Thanks Roxanne! Re water: It depends on 3 factors: 1. trail conditions: It’s good to know how much water you need personally. 2. what you’re cooking: Soups will take more water than other recipes. 3. If you have consistent water sources along your route: Always good to research before you go and you may be able to carry less each day. Re knives: yes, check out this video kzbin.info/www/bejne/eGnNiXpnqsmYkLc Re pizza: yep, although I don’t do it often Re dessert: yes, a lot! Check out the recipe bank on the website.

[@specs6637]

Random question, but the utensils used to cook and eat, do you store them in the bear vault overnight after your done eating?

[@ChefCorso]

yes, it's best practice

[@joakorey]

Hi Chef! May be you have already explained but can you please let me know your set up in this videdo? stash pan? MSR burner? Thanks. I love your work. Thanks from Spain.

[@ChefCorso]

This is a jetboil Stash

[@joakorey]

@@ChefCorso thanks, thought you were not a fan. Thank you for all the ideas and knowledge you share.

[@joakorey]

@@ChefCorso gracias!

[@ChefCorso]

@@joakorey the stash actually has a different and IMO better burner than their chimney stoves and the squatty pot is more helpful for cooking more recipes

[@mistyallen6659]

where do i get the Bear Vault container?

[@ChefCorso]

bearvault.com/

[@Minnow1970]

There might not be bears, but there's always critters

[@TheCulinary_Explorer]

debating on a cook system , MSR Pocket rocket 2 , JETBOIL Minimo ? help plz I see you still try to hold pan for stability or move it so its evenly heated so is a non locked system better?

[@ChefCorso]

The minimo squatty pot is nice, but I don't love the jetboil burner. PR2 is great but doesn't have much pot/pan integration, which can be helpful. I would be for PR2 so you can have a couple styles of pots, but just make sure to hold your pot every time with pan grippers/tongs.
