[@stevemccallum6429]

I’m happy your happy

[@johnbishop2356]

Glad to see you getting better and getting your boots dirty

[@the_feral_backpacker]

I love the concept of less is more and just enjoying the present is enjoyable, Look forward to the next one,

[@cillaloves2fish688]

1st time I've heard you call yourself Jim... Good to see you in the woods again! Your hand gets better on each video, keep it up Jim!!

[@JunkyardFox]

thanks for joining me! I dont think I called myself Jim, as I dont like being called that lol

[@offthecouch1999]

Man your hand recovers faster than i do from a night out

[@JunkyardFox]

lol

[@FredFreiberger-pk6wc]

The wrist is doing much better that is great . I appreciate seeing the way you cooked the bacon and eggs

[@JunkyardFox]

It's good to be back to a little cooking! the food on this trip was delicious

[@christiandost3898]

Wow. I'm impressed and very glad to see how good your Injured hand already functions.👍Keep on the good work!😊

[@rickwhitson2804]

Great episode James. Love watching

[@josephbenton3471]

Another Masterpiece James thanks for sharing with us. I can't wait for the next one and some Cuervo action. Peace Bro

[@JunkyardFox]

new camping with cuervo video dropping In a few hours

[@josephbenton3471]

@@JunkyardFox thanks for the heads up James. You know I'll be there tuning in of course. It's so snowy here in Denver at the moment that your video will probably be my only bit of release from this soggy and slushy weather. Yeah, sure it can be pretty to look at, but I'm very much so done with driving in these sort of conditions. It can get a little frightening once hell freezes over!

[@Wingman115]

James thanks for taking us along. We need a woods walk in that area. If you have access to a trail camera maybe bushwack out a bit and place a cam to see what is wandering about. As always good stuff brother.

[@JunkyardFox]

thanks or joining me, Jon! hope all is well! yah I need a trail cam, theres black bear, elk, raccoons, coyotes, so many beautiful creatures

[@forgingluck]

So happy to see the healing progress!

[@jeannedixon2911]

Hi James. I’m happy to see how your hand is healing and you are able to use it more. I love your videos and the music. Such pretty places you go to. ❣️

[@licensed2party]

It’s been centuries since I’ve been camping out in Cloud Croft.😁 You have, however, inspired me to go camping out there someday. 😊 It’s good to see you out there, enjoying your life. ❤

[@JunkyardFox]

It's a beautiful place out there, always a cool ,peaceful getaway from the hot desert. always glad to see you joining us on videos! take care!

[@madamecampsalot6384]

It's wonderful to see your progress! I want to thank you for the way you highlight certain aspects with your filming. We've had a statewide fire ban, including any grilling - no flame, period. This video provided me with some gotta have moments.

[@JunkyardFox]

I hope the fire ban is lifted soon. in the meantime you can always join us in spirit! new video dropping in an hour

[@FreeAmericaChannel]

James, I am so glad to see your hand healing and you making real use of it. I am praying for your healing my friend. I like to wrap bacon around a stick and rotate it next to the fire like you do with bread, and I still do my eggs in water instead of the coals, but I have done them in coals but my results were crap compared to yours. Thanks for taking us along!

[@JunkyardFox]

thanks for joining me on this adventure Nathan! the food on this trip was definitely a highlight. stay tuned, new fox and cuervo video dropping in a few hours

[@shanedavidson398]

You should make a t-shirt or bandana design with the silhouette of Cuervo playing his guitar in lightning. That would look awesome.

[@smokeymountainbushcraft252]

Great video brother. I'm happy to see that you're healing up good and enjoying the outdoors. Good for the soul man!

[@asmith7876]

I was stationed at Ft. Bliss in the mid-80's. Being from Kentucky the desert was like an alien planet. I was told that an hour north was a beautiful forest...sure there is, right...alls I see is rocks and sand! 🤣 But sure enough we took an overnight camping trip to Cloudcroft, omg I was blown away. Stunning area. I met a guy who was injured in Vietnam. He lay in a hospital for a year, getting paid but not spending any money. A buddy told him there was some land for sale in New Mexico so he gave him all his pay to buy land and I forget how many acres he bought, but like hundreds...near Cloudcroft! Can you imagine? He said he sold off a bunch over the years and I'm sure made a fortune. Glad your hand is better.

[@JunkyardFox]

I love Cloudcroft, its a peaceful escape from the desert

[@haroldmiller6853]

Great vid bud

[@Robertssurvivalsystems]

One of these days need to get you all the way over here in West Virginia.

[@Robertssurvivalsystems]

Man you doing alot better. Thank you for the hard work James! Enjoy watching your vids Brother!

[@herbsmith6871]

That Bear Forest knife is very nice! I'm loving mine 🤠

[@JunkyardFox]

it is a fantastic little knife

[@getwhtugiv]

Too see you using your hand more and more is fantastic! You are an inspiration, James. So happy to have found your channel. Say hello to Cuervo.

[@TFWS6]

That is an excellent area! I’ve spent many nights in that exact spot!

[@JunkyardFox]

it is such peaceful, beautiful area

[@b.questor]

There is something about cooking in the great outdoors that can't be matched. Thanks for more ideas on how to start a great day on the right foot (or left)...

[@平嶋達夫]

Your left hand has recovered quite a bit. It made me very happy to see that.

[@JunkyardFox]

thank you so much, slowly but surely

[@jheathen2678]

[@erolkavlakverizon6112]

James, many decades ago I lived in Alamogo. Cloudcroft was my hiding place to get away from it all. Now I hear it is a "resort" for golfing. Thanks for taking us along.. Stay safe.

[@JunkyardFox]

Cloudcroft is one of my favorite places in the state. theres som many places to camp, hike, or even enjoy the village

[@JeffreyCotle]

Hi James. Im rewatching as always a very awsome video. I love camping fishing, hunting and spending time with my buddies. Nothing better. And i always have crown royal in my flask. God bless

Great to see you out ,drink afew for me ...fantastic vid👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻❤️it.

[@JunkyardFox]

Appreciate it! Cheers brotha!

[@caver6292]

Glad to see you using that left hand!! Keep it up!! (Keep doing the PT exercises!-RN here...) Good video! have you tried scooping the egg out of the shell with the spoon? Less messy and no waste! (how I do my 3 minute eggs)

[@JunkyardFox]

thanks for coming along! no ive never tried it like that, I struggle with removing the shells from hard boiled eggs

[@caver6292]

@@JunkyardFox I saw you like yours runny, it'd be perfect for that!! 🙂

[@LeprechaunFireman]

I keep a ferro rod, flint and steel, and a lighter in my bag. I also keep char cloth and cotton balls in petroleum jelly.

always good to have at least 3 ignition sources on you. thanks for watching, Liam

[@JeffreyCotle]

James what your cooking looks good. And cast iron. Nothing better wood fire cast iron cooking. 😊

[@thatfrakkingcat9171]

Sitting here having a couple cold ones along with you! 🍻 cheers! And btw, I was outside and my boots were dirty. 😺

Thanks James for sharing the dinner recipe. It has become a favorite stove top meal here at home for supper and breakfast too.

[@JunkyardFox]

I'm happy to hear that you're enjoying it!

[@youtubechannel11408]

your videos are cozy

[@JunkyardFox]

thank you so much, glad you could join me

[@MrGabrielJude]

“What we gonna use for spices..” James is hilarious, I’m like uh, didn’t you just chop up a whole jalapeño and threw it in there!? 😂 it’s like dang, what is it, jalapeños like a “veggie” to you? All kidding aside, it’s good to see your recovery going good, got me worried for a bit, now you’re taking us back out to the woods. Nice!

[@JunkyardFox]

lol I just love my food so spicy lol stay tuned, new video coming in a few minutes

Beautiful.

Well done. Great to see your coming along! Bacon looked good

[@TillDeathDualUsSport]

Johnny Paycheck - D.O.A (Drunk On Arrival) is one of my favorites. Colorado Kool-Aid is always a great listen as well! Cheers!🍻

[@JunkyardFox]

Great taste in music!

[@darrinrebagliati5365]

I can't remember who did it but a plow point w an external tripod to hold it up might be a possibility for you with that hand of yours. Tis good for places without a lot of trees on level ground. Just an idea that I've seen but never seen explored. I don't have level ground or, in a lot of cases, space between the trees! I bend willows and cover them w tarps tipi style. Great vid! Thanks!

[@JunkyardFox]

I’m always looking for new ways to set up my shelters! I need to work on my tarp setups

[@BackatTheRanchSTX]

Great video as always. Personally, I would have boiled the eggs, considering you already have a small pot and water. Make eggs first, then use the remaining hot water to make your coffee. Drink coffee while boiled eggs cool off. Just a thought.

[@JunkyardFox]

Yeah, that’s a good idea. I didn’t think of that.

Thanks, James. So many channels I watch seem to be over animated. I feel like if I met you, I would certainly get the same man I see in every one of your videos

James there are some that cant get a fire going without scout water. Also known as kerosene. I have flint steel, matches and ferrous rod. And a lighter in my fire kit. God bless 😊

[@alanafferback5035]

Yall got it ,whatever got it means lol! Be grateful and thankful!Keep doin what yall doin!I really enjoy the peacefulness of your videos!I personally would like you to slow down the video,show more of the wilderness and especially slow down the cooking and eating parts.and of course Quervos guitarwork is always a plus!I also would like to see some longer videos,maybe push it out to 3 or 4 days,more catch and cooks!but i will watch even if you dont change a thing lol!God bless you!Good work!

[@ryanreilly664]

Cheers!

[@asmith7876]

We keep a big flat rock to the side, put it in the fire and heat it up, slap a steak on it and it's just like a cast iron pan. Stupidly tossed an egg into the fire once to get rid of it...luckily when it exploded it was buried deep or would have scalded the hell out of us.

[@JunkyardFox]

I love cooking steak on rocks

[@TeufelHunden2586]

Glad to see you back from your injury!

I do too, I just needed summer to end already lol will be getting back to desert camping soon

Solar is best closer to mid day. Like you say? It's still a viable backup to have James! You are looking better brother.😊👍🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸💯💯💯🤠🤠🤠

[@JunkyardFox]

yup, I should've made the fire first, before starting work on the shelter

[@wbyrd8448]

I really enjoy your videos. I’m having my evening coffee as I watch this episode. I loved camping in the mountains north of Pagosa Springs but am no longer able to since my ALS has progressed too far. Watching your videos brings back so many great memories.

thanks! no, it a company called Will And Bear, the model is the Buck Smoke

[@davidtarbassian1490]

It looked like you used three (3) pads under the sleeping bag. What was the reason?

[@JunkyardFox]

just comfort really. plus the earth is hat sucks the mot body heat outta you, so the higher the better

[@davidtarbassian1490]

​Being from the Northeast (USA), was thinking the temperature might have been around 30-40° (?) in the mountains there.
