Cast Iron Cooking ~ Camping Raccoon Creek State Park, PA

[@PatriseHenkel]

Lol Dinty Moore was my go-to camping food when I was a kid. 😎

[@slmjake]

Stew looks good! But I would have to set up camp next to restrooms after eating that.

[@DDExplores]

KOOL !! I love cooking with my cast iron !

[@JOECorsoNova]

21:10 😆 Nice spot and great video Cliff! All the best!

[@mh-im2kq]

Lived every minute of your camping .. it just seemed so peaceful and I could feel your contentment there.. keep doing what you're doing .. I take every trip with you ..

[@brendagalloway7451]

i loved racoon park we went there all the time when i was little

[@pittsburghmcconnell]

Great place. Tick central.

[@porkturtle8321]

Huh?

[@pittsburghmcconnell]

It is a great park to check out. Large amounts of ticks sround this area.

[@charliepc56]

I would add potatoes and tomatoes next time for sure, but it's your stew, and it looks delicious.

[@suewarner1781]

Thank You!

[@terribarron9238]

Stew looks great, you forgot the salt and pepper. It’s nice to get outside in the fresh air

[@carolyaster5466]

Great video. Dinner looked very tasty. Thanks, Cliff, for letting us relax with you!

[@R.C.1161]

Looks like some Meril MOAB 2 Ventilators. Luvem! @2:12

[@karencharny1497]

Thanks for the cooking lesson and all your information

[@eleanorbuck715]

To me, nothing in our man-made world compares to the peace and beauty of nature! Thank you, Cliff, for taking us along with you on your camping trip...

[@BobL84]

since you are using cast iron pan you can make a cowboy breakfast you will need potatoes, onions, peppers, sausages , eggs and shredded cheese on top

[@susanorr7535]

Cast iron is the best, stew is amazing!

[@jaredphillips4782]

Old newspapers are a great absorbent to draw moisture out of damp shoes, wad them up and stuff them into your shoes all the way to the toes, won’t be long before they’re dry! And if your camping,maybe you could dispose of the used newspapers in the campfire. I Love your videos and always look forward to the next one. God Bless.

[@heden1460]

Those are huge turkey's. That was a nice, relaxing evening for you.

[@ryanwolf6174]

Great video makes me want to go camping now!

[@davidlalone2286]

Beautiful place! Thank you for sharing!

[@margaretgemmell8832]

Cliff fyi, the grocery sells small cans of corn, beans, etc!

[@debbiehills2928]

cast iron is the best for cooking! looks yummy!!!

[@gr8finds196]

Yes it is! That's all we use at home.

[@joseleswopes1400]

Everything tastes better cooked on an open fire 🌹

[@williamschmidt4229]

Can someone show this man were the fresh vegetables and meat sections are in the supermarket

[@gr8finds196]

Thanks for the video. Enjoyed it.

[@2158220554]

Yes very beautiful Gods country

[@bruinsfan8278]

Your gonna need some Franks Red Hot sauce with that concoction ! Real nice camp ground! Awesome Video also!

[@jgwood10]

You could feed a family of four 😂! There are cook books for cast iron cooking. You can do so much with the Dutch ovens. Nice quiet campground.

[@cheryldoublosky4724]

I would have never thought of using baked beans in a stew, but it looked like it worked out. Beautiful spot. Great job.

[@olivei2484]

Me either. Gonna have to stew on that one. (Sorry)

[@aliciamott1396]

Well you got me hooked , while watch raccoon creek again and again then after watching rickett glen again and again this morning, I looked up where’s the high test point in my county , wow , there are 5 named mountains in my county , I had no ideal , I told my son and we are making plans to go to our highest point !!!!! You’ve REALLY BLESSED US , thank you 🍄🍄🍄🍄🍄🌷😎🍒🌺🌸🌻💐🌼

[@danielkujala541]

Canned veggies okay - canned beef I'd draw the line!

[@jackielatham4831]

Hi Cliff, made my mouth water that stew looked so yummy, loved your quiet campsite and the fact you are acquiring a good collection of camping equipment, cool take care xxxxx

[@cynthiaarnold5807]

You need a tripod to use to cook. Get yourself a 7 daycooler they fit in your jeep. Ours fits in our truck bed real easy. They are great. We took lunch meat for quick lunches. I pre made baked ziti. I took a roast with threw carrots, fr÷nch onion soup mix some cabbage and potatoes. and threw it in a crock pot. The sites had electric at least. Go enjoy your day and come home to a great meal. Save some beef and potatoes. Tge next morning I made biscuits made hash browns and beef. Two eggs each and you put cheese over it. Omg you are good to go for the day. Two meals in one. We now have a camper but we still use our old camping tricks. I cook before we leave fill the freezer and fridge. My hubby lives to do burgers on the campfire ring. We had our own ring made to cover the campsite fire rings. Sadly we might sale our camper. She's a beautiful camper. I kid my hubby I'm moving in the camper. I could live in there real easy. But my labrador is to old to get up the steps. My hubby works 6 12 hour days. He's to tired to go camping. So I enjoy watching your videos. That spider and slug would have flew across the campsite. I hate to see slugs. They eat my hosts. I used to pluck them off my plants and put them in the yard. The birds love to go after them. I don't mind spiders but that was to big for me to like. Glad you had c a good time camping. Praying for your safety while out on your adventures.

[@verdashirk9819]

That was a lot of food! It reminded me of Stone Soup.

[@superditdit48]

You could have fed an army with that stew. LOL Thanks for taking us along .

[@wanderingoutyonder]

Nice! Nothing better than some campfire cooking! We just got a jackery as well and LOVE IT!

[@aliveinhistory7521]

Love the cooking videos!

[@TimeForNature1]

Another great adventure as usual. But those poor people crammed into all those planes, breathing that stale air, the noise of the engines roaring in their ears, probably not very good snacks, and definitely not a beautiful view to eat them by. And then, there's you. Able to stretch out in your camp chair or tent, fresh air in your lungs, the songs of birds to listen to, yummy snacks, beautiful views in every direction, and able to eat as many beans as you want! Lucky, lucky you! Thanks for taking us along. 🌻💛

[@jayforkner2692]

Stale air ?? The cabin air flows primarily from ceiling to floor, not front to back, which minimizes contaminants spreading through the cabin. It is also exchanged every two to three minutes with outside air and through high efficiency particulate air (HEPA) filters

[@TimeForNature1]

@@jayforkner2692 Thanks for your reply. It prompted me to research your comments a little further. Interesting process mixing fresh air with existing cabin air - and with the help of the engines, too. You can learn something new every day. However, I would still prefer to breath the air found in nature accompanied by the sounds and sights that come along with it.🌳🌲🌴🌸🌻🌺🌼🐦🦆🦢🦅🦃 🐿

[@TheGroover72]

I never saw roast beef in a can before.

[@hiworldstephensonultranate290]

Brilliant Video an even d slug /spider ces,t fini

[@joseleswopes1400]

One year in the summer we were at the family cabin in Gunnison Colorado and sat outside to watch the Super Moon go down. It was so amazing 🌹

[@lainydepp]

Awesome 👊❤

[@SandyD2022]

I thought that it looked bad when you were adding stuff, but it's looking good, and I'm missing my Mom's stew.

[@dayhikedave]

Thanks Cliff. Great time. Felt like we were right there with you.👍🙂🙏

[@joseleswopes1400]

I use cast iron all the time, what is really good on stew are biscuits They make great dumplings 🌹

[@deniseday7483]

Cliff, my husband and I just went Frankfort Mineral Springs to find your book and channel sticker. It was gone.

[@thewanderingwoodsman7227]

Thanks for letting me know.

[@curtiscarinio7508]

Airplane once sucks!🛫🛩✈️

[@kateclark7250]

This was a wonderful campsite. Loved the solitude, nature, the turkeys... You can cook for me anytime! Thank you for introducing folks to Raccoon Creek.

[@Musicfan53-ww4jm]

Love your videos. Dutch Ovens are great, apple cobbler is amazing made in them. I can't eat all of that canned proccessed stuff. Gives me flashbacks to my college and bachelor days and it doesn't agree with my bowels.

[@susanorr7535]

Beautiful

[@lindamccaughey6669]

Fantastic thanks Cliff. What a beautiful place that was. Don’t know if you are aware but spiders drink your salver whilst you sleep. Horrible thought. I so enjoyed that thanks. Please stay safe and take care

[@TinCanTraveler]

Good ole tin can dinner!

[@hiworldstephensonultranate290]

bon appetit French mate lucky i just eaten This will Superb for you reminds of real

[@aliciamott1396]

Love this video , and it’s so fun how many places you are taking me !!!! I sure appreciate it 🍄 by the way , I thought of Rachel for your new bike’s name , 🍄😎🍒🌷

[@janetcarbone4213]

Greater Pittsburgh international airport in Moon Township.

[@michaelnabbadventures]

Looks like a good time ,this not far for me in in the ohio valley about an hour or so ,cool place.Your just in the primitive area?

[@brendagalloway7451]

i live by the pittsburgh airport its always loud

[@allygee5468]

That was fun Cliff maybe buy the small tins if corn and carrots for solo camping it's a beautiful spot despite the planes Thanks for sharing with us xx

[@catpatrick3838]

That's a lot of stew! Just a tip, don't use a wet cloth to lift cast iron, or anything else, hot. Use a dry cloth. Love the spring green of the leafing trees. Spring is such a beautiful time of year, my favorite...well, maybe not the pollen part of spring. Fortunately most airports have no flights from around 11/midnight until 5 the next morning so you'll get some quiet time to sleep. I knew the Pittsburgh airport was busy but had no idea it was THAT busy! Yikes!

[@kathleenhannigan2487]

Cat is right.....wet will take on all the heat and burn you. Dry will not.

[@awadventures6230]

Cliff.. bring a couple of Tupperware with you for leftovers like that so you don't have to worry about it spilling when you're driving around with a full pot 🙂 enjoyed the campground Def relaxing!

[@tomtransport]

That was a lot of fun Cliff and tasty too. Spiders are our friends, they take care of the bad guys. Iron is best, I use iron skillets at home for bacon, home fries and eggs too. Are smaller cans of ingredients available? Seemed to be a lot of corn , carrots and lima beans to add to the meat and baked beans for one person. I know you don't like to waste food. Not a fan of lima beans, maybe a can of small potatoes next time? Thanks again for the fun Cliff.

[@harrytruax5195]

Almost thought we were going to witness the Blazing Saddles flatulence scene...oh well.

[@PUPPYBONZ]

BEANS and Roast beef -yuk

[@Musicfan53-ww4jm]

Canned roast beef as well... Vomit...

[@hiworldstephensonultranate290]

reminds woodsman of real irish stew years ago better brian Love d locations

[@ruthgoebel723]

I am not a fan of beans…..my son and hubby eat enough to keep themselves amused 😉. I just don’t care for the ‘dusty’ texture of beans. I enjoy the night songs of the robins and always try to catch the very last song of the evening. I love to hear when “the last bird sings”….

[@markwagoner3599]

The only thing you put in there that I don't agree with is the baked beans. Oh, and guess what my favorite vegetable is? Limas. Lol

[@michaelnabbadventures]

Was this the main camp ground ?

[@hiworldstephensonultranate290]

hi cliff first time i seen u eating this kinda din din cheers

[@auntlynnonline6206]

I'm sorry to be so crass, but all I can think when I see a man getting ready to eat baked beans, corn, and lima beans together is 'Damn! I hope no one is going to be within earshot tonight!' Even Sasquatch won't come around your tent. LOL

[@jamesalles139]

cooking racoon? oh wait, that is not what it says. thanks!

[@robertvirtue8070]

Check out Cowboy Ken Rollins for cast iron recipes you tube

[@utubewatcher806]

Alexa, turn off bird sounds!! Alexa?? Why won't you listen to me??!!??

[@fafafohi2boss533]

5 can stew...

[@mikearmstead8358]

I don't think I would like this mix stew, bake beans and can stew to me throws the stew mix off. It's just my opinion

[@lindagolden9892]

Next time place the Dutch oven down amongst the 🔥 coals for faster cooking. I’ve seen whereas one can even bake a whole chicken and pizza in just such a way. Surprised you didn’t pack a small ice chest for safe keeping of leftovers. 🏕

[@1corinthians-138]

Oatmeal does not fill me up...I'm hungry again in an hour. The stew looks good. Very peaceful spot you got. 😊
