Camping French Creek State Park ~ Thrunite Catapult Mini ~ Wildlands Coffee

[@tjmulligan3086]

it should be boring to watch someone make coffee but somehow you even make that relaxing to watch! lol

[@tammydobson3174]

I would also.....I am happy that they think so much of you that they are willing to let you try there products!!!! Happy Camping!!!!

[@bruinsfan8278]

Waking up to the sounds of nature, warm cup of coffee, doesnt get any better than that until, Jury Duty!

[@geradebowden3293]

So nice watching a campfire burn.

[@pictowoman]

Oh man that tent.. I’m so grateful for a real bed in my van

[@jenniferbutcher8393]

Another fun episode of Campfire Cookin' with Cliff . ..I am so hungry now! Feels like we're right there camping with you. Beautiful place to stay. Listen to the birds!

[@hamle92]

that’s the cutest little bottle with maple syrup that i’ve ever seen

[@lindagolden9892]

Your 👓 reflecting the 🔥 gave an eerie red spotted glow reminding me of “the Jersey 👿” where I grew up.

[@Shelter93]

The camping is my favorite. Just wonderful video man. Keep up the great work.

[@aztrails1]

A great time of year to hike and camp the Northeast. Loved the soundtrack - rustling leaves and crackling fire.

[@robertvirtue8070]

My family had an old tea kettle we heated water for tea and washing dishes, kept it in a brown paper bag . My Mom made check list that my sister and I would check off when we packed for a trip or week end. Cliff get some extra utensils and other supplies and keep in a box or tote so have everything you will need. I keep plastic ware , paper plates , paper towels . wipes and salt and pepper in my trunk.

[@lorrainekrauss5140]

My aunt used to make me a sandwich like that with the cheese and she put sauce inside as well as pepperoni and it was like a pizza!

[@aliciamott1396]

Good lord another GREAT video !!!! You transport me 😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎

[@jamesbobo3128]

Hello from McConnelsville Ohio I love watching your show I watch every episode that you do when I am at home or even go camping and I make me A CUP OF COFFEE I ADD SUGAR CREAMER VANILLA AND IT TASTES JUST LIKE FRENCH VANILLA COFFEE

[@edithdavis2848]

Cliff you bring back great memories

[@kateclark7250]

What a great place to camp! The portable campfire was pretty neat. I will need to get myself one... or two! Thank you for taking me along. This was so relaxing.

[@lrwalters14]

French Creek State Park is one of my favorite parks. From Maryland, currently living in Japan (missing MD/PA). So thanks for your videos.

[@amandas8621]

I love the sound of the crickets in this video

[@pirquo]

thanks.. was relaxing to watch...

[@joseleswopes1400]

Trick I use on our cooking pan's whether they are cast iron or whatever. Rub bar soap on the bottom and sides. Makes for easy cleaning 😎

[@lindadonahue9279]

Love, love, love the camping videos! Gotta have one of those portable fire pits! Looks like an awesome campground! Happy Belated Birthday!

[@dwaynestewart6095]

This was a very interesting and informative visit to camp Tom , and i enjoyed it very much. I just love the way you give the history lessons. Dwayne

[@lindamccaughey6669]

That was great thanks. You looked very cozy. Really enjoyed thanks for taking me along. Please stay safe and take care

[@joseleswopes1400]

When we would go camping before we got the camper. I had an old oven rack I would take to cook on the fire it works awesome 😎

[@michellebehr7669]

I could hear crickets when you were doing smores. I was thinking how nice a hearty vegetable beef stew would be on the camp fire with toasted bread. Maybe some dried apple sprinkled with cinnamon could be reconstituted with a little water and topped with pancake batter to invent a campside apple dessert. Fall is definitely here. Beautiful foliage and cooler weather. Thank you for your videos!

[@PATG1]

Butter in the pan with the pancakes. It makes crispy delicious edges on the pancakes. A nice New York strip would taste good sizzling over the fire, with the pancakes. French Creek is a very scenic park. It looks even better when there is fresh snow on the ground. When I was very young my parents would drive to the park and we would watch them digging Hopewell Lake the lower lake. The old roads through the park are still there to just over grown a bit. Another great video WW.😎

[@janecharlton6780]

You should get a small frying pan and do eggs to go with the bacon , yum yum .

[@andreascott5815]

May I suggest Krusteze pancake mix. You can purchase it at Walmart. It is very good.

[@davidmiklos741]

Great camping place. Camped there in the fall 🍁 Two nice lakes

[@wandaswavely2523]

I like putting blueberries in the batter...

[@privatedata665]

We haven't had Robins in Bradford county for over a month yet I hear lots of them in this great video

[@gaylenealis7268]

I love French Creek state park! I have hiked, biked ( through), cross country skied in that park. I no longer live in Pennsylvania and I miss all the cool outdoor places to go!

[@glennmorrell4907]

…like FCSP a lot…the hiking there is great too…TY for posting this.

[@Stabby__]

Haha I live close by to the park, its a nice one👍

[@unyieldingcreek1]

We have a jackery, a little bit stronger capacity and with solar panels. We get a lot of power outages and it was well worth it!!!

[@davemi3213]

French creek is my favorite place to camp it’s a dinner at stoppers for a steak and baked potato I use a gazelle T4 tent and absolutely love it sets up in 2 minutes and breaks down in about the same time

[@beardymcbeardenstein9669]

Love seeing you hike around Berks. Gives me ideas of places to explore. From Shoemakersville.

[@barbaraharshman9460]

Boy your sandwich looks good! So did the pancakes! Thanks for

[@nickmad887]

Good video love camping Thanks Cliff.

[@Piccolo_Re]

You’ll have to make cowboy coffee for camping. It’s the best way to make coffee over a fire when you’re camping.

[@johnmefford4455]

Have fun 🤩

[@brookeshaffer4377]

Thanks for always keeping it real Cliff🌟That is why I enjoy your videos so much! Loved the sound of the crickets and campfire as dusk and night came into play✨

[@Staleena1]

Love the camping videos

[@vincejoe5797]

It was awesome to see that you brought the Camp Michaux tour booklet I sent you on your camping trip!! I hope you find it useful. I really enjoyed this relaxing video after traveling all day from the other side of the country, and I'm looking forward to your new video on Camp Michaux!

[@heddingmyway5442]

Awesome video! Love French Creek State Park! We have camped there in our 30' travel trailer a couple of times. I have gone deer hunting there a couple of times including a time about a month after you shot this video. Enjoy your channel! Subscribed.

[@robbikarboski2933]

I love how you include us in your trip, we ,I love it!!!;I wish I was there too;!!!!Thank you for the camp out my friend!!!!

[@Grendelbc]

I worked on a construction project at French Creek Park more than 40 years ago. Haven't been back since. Looks lovely.

[@DebraGill]

I live very close, right below Daniel Boone high school. Love that park, used to hike 3 to 4 times a week.

[@TheSleuthFairy]

Wow! Such a cool little camping set up!!😊🏕👍I love hiking & the mountains so much. I saw your title French Creek & decided to check it out since my friends have house there. BTW your grilled cheese maker was awesome too!!

[@wanderingoutyonder]

That is one impressive plate of pancakes!!! The portable fire pit was really cool! Love the camp food!

[@awadventures6230]

Your fire was too hot, should have waited until it was burned down to coals would have been better, but I know when you're hungry you're hungry! Also add a bit of oil or butter on the griddle. If you haven't tried it yet.. add pnut butter or Almond butter on pancakes then syrup omg 😋🤤👍 love the camping videos. Have you ever done a camping trip in the shelter you made a couple years ago?

[@heden1460]

That seemed nice and relaxing. Hopefully next summer my family and I can go on a camping trip.

[@tweet-tweettweety9704]

Congratulations on 54.5 subscribers! I remember when you were floored when you got to 10,000! I love bacon and melted cheese sandwiches on rye with caraway seeds and a Pink Lady apple. Will eat it with light bread, but it sure does hurt my feelings. lol I would be lazy (or maybe impatient?) and cut the slice of bread in half. I like that generator and sandwich toaster a lot. Thanks for reviewing them.

[@nancyrobertson550]

Everything tastes great when camping. Tea bag coffee I have found made by Folgers in both regular and decaf. Walmart. Cannot remember $. 👀👀👀from Texas USA enjoy your beautiful videos. Glad I can along with you.

[@rockmack7343]

You were making me hungry with that breakfast sandwich. And I live close enough to there to almost smell the bacon! Thanks for taking us along on the camping trip.

[@lynfl9814]

Great spot and with beginning of the week camping; it looks like you have only a few neighbors. Win! Win! About the reviews, I enjoy them. We had three chairs like the one you have and we found them very uncomfortable as well. I will try that coffee for camping. What a great idea by the marshmallow companies to put the chocolate in the middle of the marshmallow for S'mores. I enjoyed your end of season camping.

[@hiworldstephensonultranate290]

hi gt video delicious pancakes n coffee t.v is boring so this is welcome Sla'inte Sl'an

[@tyesoutherland4618]

Just love these overnight camping videos with you. The thrunight floodlight TN 36 will make a great Christmas gift for my friend. Thx Cliff.

[@carolb29]

I used to have one of those sandwich makers. I always put butter on the bread so it was like a grilled sandwich. Use to make little pies with it too using canned pie filling. love watching your camping videos, I miss doing that.

[@Julie-ms9ss]

Such a relaxing video. Thanks for sharing your adventures with us.

[@KatWoman_]

You can put the pancake mix into a gallon zip-lock bag to mix it and so no dishes.

[@Kimberly-dt4ko]

The camp site was nice. I camped there once many years ago but it was in a group camping site. We were backpacking and the site only had three trees. We had to string all our tents in a line down the hill. It rained and the water ran through all the tents. One suggestion for cooking over the fire. Find some kindling and smaller fuel in the surrounding woods. Once this has burned down to coals, pull it to the side of the main fire with a wet stick. Cooking over the coals will give you more even heat.

[@UrbCrafter]

Hey Teach, That pie iron you have there will make the best tasting pancakes you ever had but it takes a bit of practice. however once you master it you will never need a pan for great pancakes again, i always throw a bit of fruit or even bacon or sausage in with it, then use two of them to make a Canadian bacon and cheddar breakfast sandwich with them...

[@rikspector]

Nice job Cliff, You put all the grill ingredients on one side, makes it a lot easier and It really looked good! Isn't it nice to not always have to follow a time line? I had one of those portable butane stoves back in the sixties when I was mountain hiking. On a pack trip with the Sierra Club in the Mono Lake recesses of California, we were up at 9 to 10,000 feet or more and boiling water wasn't that hot because of the altitude, so we used freeze dried foods which required less heat. Thank you for sharing your adventures, it reminds me of trips many years ago:) Rik Spector

[@davemi3213]

I camp French creek regularly each loop has some electrified camp sites

[@catpatrick3838]

Folgers makes the coffee in a tea bag as well. I think they're called Folgers singles. I haven't used them in ages, been making coffee using a melitta pour over when camping. There's just something about drip coffee, tastes so much better.

[@kathygalloway2990]

Hi Cliff, I thoroughly enjoy this camping trip videos, just seems so peaceful and quiet, thanks for sharing maybe you will get lucky this time on jury duty

[@glennjudd2467]

Miss camping ! Great video ! Clliff

[@glennjudd2467]

Live the good life ! Love it ! Buddy !

[@mikeh8129]

You can cook your pancakes right in the pie iron.

[@tammyshutter3510]

Thanks for taking us along. Love the camping videos. Looks like fun.

[@susanorr7535]

Cast iron is always best, period!

[@tomtransport]

Enjoyed that Cliff, new lights, new foods, new heating (candle camp fire). I was looking forward to it, the candle, heating the cheese and bacon on rye sandwiches in the morning but you changed your mind. I suppose it could get really hot and was wondering how long it would take to cool B 4 you could pack it up in Naomi with the other gear, last I would think. I'm ready for the next welcome to PA from you. PS, the "real" coffee in tea bags is a good idea.

[@imspooky_2024]

You should get yourself some utility scissors so you can cut your bacon and bread you know the kitchen scissors scissors that we use for prepping food would help a lot with all that .✂️✂️✂️ just just sharing

[@erikrhafer6644]

Early this year I won the large solo stove and a yeti cooler, I wanted to take them camping this year but I got real sick with COVID and was in bed for a month, Not Fun !

[@Impulse_Photography]

The lights remind me of a FLOOD vs STROBE BTW : Non-Stick coating; also, known as 'TEFLON coating,' breaks down under High Heat. Then it is imparted into the food, and causes cancer. Cast Iron is among the best surfaces to cook with.

[@gigicostlow4414]

Pancakes didn't look bad. Fire was too high is all. Non-stick pans don't work so good on a campfire, especially lightweight ones. I always use cast iron or heavy stainless for cooking on a fire. You need to use some kind of fat when cooking with cast iron or things will stick. I found cooking sprays don't work so well French toast is another good thing to cook on a campfire. You can use powdered eggs and powdered milk then you don't have to worry about keeping it cold. I have made pizza sandwiches using a sandwich griddle like yours. Spread some pizza sauce on 2 slices of bread (I used sourdough) then add some mozzarella and some pepperoni. Ruebens also work well. Those stuffed marshmallows make the best s'mores when using a microwave. You made me want to go camping. Thanks for taking us with you.

[@R.C.1161]

Going with a Nuthatch in the background while cooking pancakes. To thick and not enough oil....but yummmm!!

[@marylucycollins7008]

Great fun camping!! I suggest you precut your bread then take soup to heat up and use the cut up crust as croutons. Thanks for the demos and gotta get me those stuffed marshmallows. Thanks again. Did I miss your birthday?? Hope you had an Awesome HAPPY BIRTHDAY

[@tommiefisher9525]

Hey you were on the other side of the park from were I live.

[@tommyc9659]

Hey Cliff I've been in wood for a while Bigfoot likes beer not coffee lol great video

[@joseleswopes1400]

I use cast iron griddle for pancakes and tortillas 😎

[@2001pontiacta]

I agree that camp sites should Have some privacy, with trees in between each one. I just stumbled on your yourtube videos. I’m getting back into camping as my parents took me while I was a kid. I don’t go enough to buy an rv so tent is how I’m Camping. Was wondering if you have any camping videos of what you make/cooking while camping? I see see the can of baked beans but, curious or what main course meal you cook while camping. Thanks in advance and new sub here👍

[@tommyc9659]

Right behind u big guy lol

[@wandaswavely2523]

They look good! When I make them at home, they are not uniformed either. Still good..

[@davidcassidy5868]

Too bad You didnt have a garden-fresh Brandywine and some lettuce for those grilled sandwiches there, Cliff Good Post 👍🍻

[@holleyb7861]

You need some precooked bacon with those pancakes.🥞🥓 Use scissors✂️ to cut the bacon into smaller pieces.

[@scrumthebum2451]

I live 5 minutes away and haven’t camped there in 40 years. It’s a lot nicer now

[@porkchop1343]

Nice shirt 👕

[@BarryDolney-f1e]

You should try butter toffee coffee

[@Carolbearce]

Your camping videos makes me want to go camping. I haven’t been in years and I really missed it. I hate going to jury duty. I got called for county and federal with in weeks once. It was not good. PS, never use a metal spatula on a non stick pan. You need a hard plastic one.

[@hamle92]

i always bring wet wipes with me if i’m not able to wash my hands, clothes or face😁

[@tommyc9659]

Looks good man

[@gwaredeemed1]

Cliff, when you walk away from your campsite and other people are around, are you afraid other people be snooping around your campsite, maybe even taking some of your things ? Or do you put things in Naomi when you walk off?

[@thewanderingwoodsman7227]

It crosses my mind, but I usually just let things as they are.

[@gwenb4531]

We don't mind the reviews.

[@danmathers141]

Suppose you were packing up and the tent was wet. Would you have to wait till it dried?

[@tommyc9659]

Got same pan cool

[@jamesvw769]

Not all who are lost wonder.

[@mikewerner3450]

Can I ask a dumb question? Looking to hike and camp for the first time starting next year after I get in more better shape and have the gear I need. At French creek are you far enough away from city lights to see the sky and stars?

[@thewanderingwoodsman7227]

yes

[@mikewerner3450]

@@thewanderingwoodsman7227 thank you so much. Thank you also for the videos you make. They make me want to go out and start hiking and camping and see the lost history we have lost and the sights I would have missed going hiking

[@rtoguidver3651]

All of that equipment and No Drone ???

[@lindagolden9892]

Suggestion: Why not merely get yourself the old style campfire percolator, place filter and your favorite coffee grinds in the basket for however many cups you want, fill up with 💦 to desired level, place on grill rack over campfire and let it perk away. (Remember to bring along a heavy duty potholder.) Works perfectly while reheating leftover coffee throughout the day. I’ve even used a regular pan, placed a filter with ground coffee in a wire mesh strainer, rested it on the pan rim, put lid on pot, allow to simmer for awhile; cowboy style method. ☕️ 😋
