I love all your videos, but I think I like the camping ones the best. You are so childlike in your love and appreciation of the outdoors. That is a compliment, my friend. Keep up the good work.

[@Carolbearce]

I miss camping. As a family we did this all the time. It would always rain on us, lol. The joy of drinking coffee by a campfire is amazing. Thanks for sharing this with us.

[@rikspector]

Cliff, This is a video for you and all of us, especially in these chaotic times. It seems like everyone around you has that same sense of peace and tranquility, wouldn't it be wonderful if we could bottle it and and offer it to the world? Ah Well(sigh) Cheers, Rik

[@janetsides1796]

I want to thank you for going to all these wonderful places. My husband and I are older and he injured his leg awhile ago. We can't hike,but are so glad you do these videos!

[@leonardgordon1748]

Got to love the old mountain pie maker. Haven’t done one of those for 30 years. We always used butter on the outside and preferred the pie fillings for a dessert

[@katiefyock9607]

We like to make pizza ones the times we have gone camping.

[@TimeForNature1]

This is a favorite for me. So peaceful with the beautiful views, the campfire for cooking, reading/relaxing into the evening by the campfire, the sounds of the night critters when it became dark, the moon and stars, sleeping under the trees. I found it all so calming. Just perfect.

[@rikspector]

We had one of those clampy cheese sandwich things back on the farm in the fifties, we loved it! Yummy:) Cheers, Rik Spector

[@kateclark7250]

I really enjoyed camping with you... being outside... sitting by the fire... and you can cook for me any time! Thank you, Cliff, for this pleasant trip.

[@tomtransport]

Another great sleepover, thanks Cliff.

[@floridadollnstitch7961]

My mouth is watering, how could you not like that griller, so delicious ! Love your camping videos 💛 It's thundering here while you light the fire. You make everything look so serene, cozy and comfy. What a treat ! The crackling fire, the moon and the frogs, love the way you love and enjoy nature, so beautiful ! 🤗 UR getting better and better with your videos, so enjoyable. 🥪

[@bippie23456]

Born and raised about 15 miles from Blue Knob, have lived all of my 63 years in PA, 43 of those years within 25 minutes of Blue Knob area. I have fished the upper end of Bob's Creek from the time I was old enough to hold a rod n my own. Beautiful area. The little village of Pavia is pronounced "pay/vee/eh" not "paw/vee/eh". Appreciate all the videos. I was just up at the campground this week and took a walk around the campsites, scoping out the best site for my tent!

[@karendworschack756]

Watched this the morning of my day off, so we had coffee together, Cliff! A very relaxing video! 😊

[@lynfl9814]

Such a relaxing video to watch you camp at Blue Knob State Park. Really beautiful setting; I would really enjoy camping in that spot. I have a tip for you with the type oil you use; so that something doesn't stick or even if you cook something in a pan. Olive Oil has what is called a low smoke rate. Oils with a high smoke point are better for searing or browning; so, olive oil is not the greatest and you can easily burn something with it. Avocado oil is a great choice. It's unrefined like extra virgin olive oil, but it has a higher smoking point (500 degrees F), which means it can be used to cook at higher heat and is great for stir-fries. It will not burn as easily. Many oils are not what they say on the bottle; these companies will cut it with a cheap oil and sell it as avocado oil. A good avocado oil is by Chosen Foods, 100% Pure Avocado Oil. Always look for oil that is Expeller Pressed & Naturally Refined. First cold pressed is the best when you buy cooking oil. I really enjoyed this video, Cliff. That lovely fire made me want to cook some S'mores on those lovely embers. A fire at that level makes the best toasted marshmallows.

[@jenniferbutcher8393]

Making me want to throw the tent up in the backyard! Love those pie irons, we used to make pizza in them as well. 😊

[@57Banjoman]

How cool would it be to pull out my gear and find Cliff cooking a tuna melt next door! Thanks for the visit!

[@tomgorney8868]

WOW-----you got all the Cool camping toys-------neat.

[@marygarner5249]

Always make my day so much better 💟💟💟

[@Dave_0993_I]

OK, I'm buying some pie-irons! We camp a good deal, and I like the wood-fire cooking, instead of a bunch of pots and pans on the stove. Might be ham, or tomato, instead of tuna. . .In fact I cook over wood at home in the yard a good deal - they'd sure work for that. Might try egg and cheese breakfast sandwiches in 'em, too.

[@TheCynthiaRice]

I lived in Bedford in the 90's and used to ski at Blue Knob.

[@bravewave2084]

Nice shirt and hat professor! Hey I used to love Mau Chunk Lake Park for swimming and camping. It is a county park. The concessions were great too. It's been oh probably since around the time you were born lol that I was there! I hope it's still nice. The cool part is there is a headless horseman legend. Mooahahaha. He rides in the woods around the park. It was a dark, quiet night, I heard it! Being a believer in science I knew there had to be a logical explanation. No ropes on the flagpole, I couldn't figure it out. It sounded like the clop clop clop of hooves. I don't remember how to spell it anymore but it's above Jim Thorpe. Go through town head up mountain entrance on left. Locals like to keep it on the downlow because it's small and nearby Beltsville gets packed. I think it was a moonlit night.

[@katiesmoozie7183]

Smart guy!! An air mattress - saves your back !! I soo miss camping! I grew up camping every weekend & half of every summer!! But my hubby doesn't like the 'dirt' out camping (yes, he is a germ freak) ! lol. lol. Grilled tuna is awesome!! You look like you had fun!! Way to go!

[@josephvandevander6848]

Mountain pie maker! I made those in shop class in high school.

[@brianwalter7387]

I love tuna to cliff, excellent video

[@barbararobinson2201]

i didnt get to go campin this year at all we had forest fire all around us but i really wanted to just get out n away for ppl!! im glad he got to do this!!

[@ruthgoebel723]

Love these peaceful camping videos. We never camped when I was growing up but would enjoy doing that now.

[@hermancarl1591]

When we make mountain pies, we butter one slide of two slices of bread with butter. The filling is Delgrosso Pizza Sauce, cheese and Pepperoni.

[@carlavision6143]

Cliff, really enjoyed your video!

[@littlehummingbird1015]

Well that was fun to see...It is the 20th and I must be watching your video as you make it! The sun has gone down and it's dark now. I live in Bedford, down the road a bit from Blue Knob...and my family does ski patrol there in the winter. Enjoy your nature time!

[@BOBOMulleinWolf]

You're so lucky. I would like to move to Bedford. I'm there as much as possible, enjoy hitting up the Landmark Restaurant and Shawnee

[@johncanetta6708]

Like another viewer said really relaxing, I felt like I was set up in the next campsite.

[@scrapsthecat1998]

Thank you for taking us along on your adventures!

[@rockmack7343]

We used to call those "mountain pies". Try getting a can of pie filling and making desert the same way, that is delish too!

[@keiththomas3141]

Road Apple Pie is also said to be delicious.

[@RunawayGranny]

I LOVE the camping trips... I thought of you this weekend every time i made coffee... (we have the same setup) I went camping too

[@awadventures6230]

Tuna melts are delicious! Try it with a couple of sliced tomatoes in it too! Soo good! Love the camping videos!

[@zzzzipy12]

When my mom was a youngster, she lived in Sproul PA & played on Blue Knob. My uncle hikes there now, it’s a beautiful place.

[@nobillclinton]

Mountain pies are delish, Cliff. Try peperoni & cheese; chocolate bars & marshmallow mountain pie for desert.

[@davemi3213]

I like when you’re chilling with camping

[@NarcolepticProphet]

Not since Twin Peaks show have I seen someone so into that Cup O' Joe. Cheers!

[@katiesmoozie7183]

I love the cooler nights too!! Specially after this very hot summer!

[@jwright1253]

Love the camping videos

[@pennymarie7216]

All of your videos are awesome Thank You for Caring and Sharing 🤗🐦🐥♥️

[@SueGirling68]

Hi Cliff, it's so nice just sitting by an open fire staring at the flames, you should try peanut butter as a filling it's so nice when it's warm. Thank you for sharing your personal down time with us. xx 💞

[@DoortotheAbandoned]

Really enjoyed this video, thanks for sharing!

[@mdtreasurehuntervalley9689]

Cliff, you got me hooked. Tomorrow I'm going to Walmart and get everything I need for my tuna melt. I have a up coming camping trip to Gettysburg PA. You made me hungry!

[@lindamccaughey6669]

Well I certainly enjoyed that. What a lovely spot and sleeping under the stars, fantastic.. nothing better than tuna and cheese toastee, yum. Very much enjoyed camping with you thanks for taking me along. Please stay safe and take care

[@firstcitytraveler]

My wife makes small pies using bread and pie filling. It works great. You can make a dessert using same griller.

[@cheralynnemckee6228]

Never been camping myself done a lot of caravanning though on the east coast of England

[@markjankowski4688]

Try rubbing a little soap on the zipper. You can also take pliers and squeeze the zipper together just a slight bit works great. There are KZbin videos on how to do it. My old tent had zipper issue towards the end of its ten life. It was my wife's job to fix the zippers there were 4 in our tent. Our Rottweiler and to many tropical storm camping trips got to it.

[@karendworschack756]

The soap thing really does work!

[@pennymarie7216]

I love a sandwich and snores yummy in my tummy👍

[@brianwalter7387]

Rye bread is soooo good, I have to try with tuna and cheese

[@superbee470]

Toasted tuna and cheese ! Mmm! My favorite :)

[@aprilrichards762]

I love mountain pies! We use a square bread that fits in the iron and seals. We would preheat the irons in the fire before we made our pies. Try pizza mountain pies, they are yum!

[@pedalpa3998]

Try using Hazelnut creamer with Irish-cream.

[@Musicfan53-ww4jm]

I will need try the tuna in my grilled cheese sometime. But, you have to have Baby Swiss cheese on rye bread. Ham and Swiss on Rye is life changing when camping.

[@katiefyock9607]

Needs a bit of Texas Pete between the two slices of cheese. That's just me though. You need 2 of those coffee packets in the water to make rocket fuel coffee.

[@auntesther1211]

You’re definitely livin’ the dream🙂

[@hartsm76]

I love the variations on this I'm reading in the comments!!! Numnumnum.😋

[@brookeshaffer4377]

So glad your tuna melt was yum yum Cliff😂

[@susiesweet8003]

Blue Knob is a beautiful park. 🌼 🌳🏕 🏵 🌲

[@gwenb4531]

I make the tuna melt alot, but I always use the plain albacore tuna in the pouch. It looks like you forgot to pack the makings for smores.

[@petegregory517]

Never liked S’mores.

[@michellevelas9015]

Wonderful video , always loved camping. Tuna melt is the best.

[@wandaswavely2523]

That looks delicious! I have to remember doing that, when I start camping..

[@pamberkebile7321]

Camped at Blue Knob for years, if you have the fixing you can make pizza, and apple , cherry all so. You can use Texes toast that makes them great

[@cmc02888]

We are watching you eat tuna melts! Haha round 2 , you are living large my dude!! Go you

[@michellelyon3149]

Yummo, what’s not to love?! Rye, cheese, tuna over the fire? 🤩

[@hartsm76]

Have you tried folding the bread in half so you don't have to lose so much? I don't like tuna but a grilled cheese on marbled rye sounds super yummy.😋 That with a side of soup or ramen sounds like a perfect Fall camping meal.

[@Tunkabear]

Good stuff! Thanks for sharing. 👍

[@terriekover8045]

Mountain pie maker make pies, pizza, sandwich

[@dscobellusa]

Looks like a great place to camp! Neat video!

[@alanhykes8777]

.....One more thing.....LOW and SLOW with the iron!!

[@deanuniverse4214]

You need a cold pilsner from Germany like BitBurger! Sorry coffee? If you need warm just a nice Asbach German brandy will warm you up nicely and you will sleep like a baby!!! 👍 Coffee in the morning is better.

[@SandyD2022]

LOL grosses me out each time you put your spoon on that table. I can't stop thinking how many animals have been on it before you.

[@hiworldstephensonultranate290]

good on ya am falling asleep 1.11am Tuesday 21st September asleep Enjoy uve Gt nrg

[@NatureAndOther]

Cool video ! I always enjoy your videos.

[@stevenlasky6262]

I tell you the truth. I lived in the woods and I mean that I lived in the woods. I know how to survive. I had good and bad times. I was in the woods for 18 years. I can survive. I really do Enjoy the outdoors

[@rodkeck3343]

Patty melt,pinini, would love to see a vid about Dills Tavern,Dillsburg,Pa ,Saturday morning is farmers market,Sunday. 2 till 4 is 5 dollar tours,might be red tape,anything is possible

[@dustin2dust351]

Go camp in Kellettville Campground in Tionesta, Pa or Cooks forest.

[@nickmad887]

thanks Cliff

[@bucktaylor6522]

Just keep coming north to kinzua lake

[@thewanderingwoodsman7227]

I was there last summer.....Kinzua bridge, not the lake...

[@rreuss9277]

Really looking forward to the Johnstown video.

[@thewanderingwoodsman7227]

It was uploaded prior to this video.

[@rreuss9277]

@@thewanderingwoodsman7227 Thanks Cliff. I must've missed it.

[@danmathers141]

23:10. It looks like some of your neighbors have left already and others are ready to go.

[@pennymarie7216]

Yummy in my tummy 🤗

[@alanhykes8777]

Next time you make pies on the fire, Butter your bread on the outside. Trim excess bread off after you close the iron with a knife. This helps seal the edges. . I always preheat the iron. It helps to prevent sticking. Try pizza sauce, cheese, pepperoni or any thing else you like on pizza. Cook "on" the coals not the fire. You will not be disappointed. Oh by the way canned pie filling makes a nice dessert. You just found the most versatile cookware ever.

[@HD4lyfe]

We always did Blackberry pie filling with marshmallows for our mountain pie desserts mmmm 😋 Can do SO much with those mountain pie makers

[@smd482000]

I grew up around there camp up near there as a scout

[@petegregory517]

How many times did you have to reposition the camera because the smoke followed you? Never fails for my wife. Smoke follows her like a duckling follows it’s mother.

[@thewanderingwoodsman7227]

A few times..

[@danmathers141]

What do you do when your fire is still burning a bit and you want to go to sleep? Do you put water on the fire or what?

[@brianwalter7387]

Darn, u were in back yard..wishbi was there with u

[@randysheetz690]

Since you have done the blue eyed six and the Johnstown flood, when are you going to do the Molly Maguires?

[@jayforkner2692]

Don't think he has dedicated a video about the Molly Maquires. He talks about them in his Pottsville and Jim Thorpe videos. Link for Pottsville.. about the 7 minute mark. kzbin.info/www/bejne/Z4PToGyqmZ2Smc0
