Cooking a Gourmet Feast out of my Car! (Wagyu A5 Experience + Car Camping in the Forest)

[@fishwithcarl]

This one and the knife one are your best videos since the ones I edited for you. ;) Haha

[@just_alex]

😂 cheers bro.

[@stevenholmes8097]

Still got the brotherly love

[@michaelnaylor-hodgkinson991]

The best steak I ever bought was in the lake district. It was an incredible grass-fed rump with butter yellow fat. I found a blissful, quiet place, beside lake Windemeer to enjoy my special feast. I began to cook over an open fire but decided to swim in the lake to wash the day's grime off me. I then stood cooking in my underpants with an ill-fitting cardigan on, drinking the finest wines known to man, with my hair long, wet and lank. As the beef reached its point of readiness It became apparent that I'd forgotten to pack cutlery. I rested the beef, stabbed it with a stick and began to eat it from a standing position. Suddenly, I heard a shout from the water behind me, only to be confronted by a boatload of tourists. The beef was incredible but I'd give anything to see a picture of myself at that point looking like a pissed up, neanderthal pervert, with a sooty face and a greasy chin and a side of dead animal on a dirty stick.

Came across your channel about 2 weeks ago, and it's already some of my favorite content of all time, you inspire me to want to get out into nature, keep up the amazing videos Alex!

[@just_alex]

Thanks so much, glad you found the channel! Keep enjoying nature and the outdoors! :)

[@andrewward7168]

I found it today, something I would love to do so much, but having kids sort of makes it impossible. Maybe in a few years when they are all independent. But it will be cheaper to stay at home by then. Probably a fiver a litre the way it's going 😂😂

Great fun brother. Your videos have started a reawakening in me of my youth. Your curiosity and ability to see the world as a place to enjoy and explore makes me realize how cynical I have grown toward the world. Thank you so much for your content, you have made an old man remember what has long since been forgotten and that is priceless!

[@just_alex]

Beautiful! Thanks for sharing this. 😊

[@danettewilliams7843]

Alex, I just found your channel, and you have captivated me with your stories and philosophy about enjoying being present vs planning and worrying about tomorrow. You deserve your Wagyu!!! Keep treating yourself and keep educating the rest of us on being present!!!

[@callumnoblett4905]

Fascinating stuff Alex. I'd heard of Wagyu beef but your research and enthusiasm has ramped up my interest level. Top video and breathtaking camera work as per usual. Top man

[@juderickman8275]

Living vicariously as I don’t know if even once in my life I’ll ever eat wagyu beef. Thank you for sharing the experience with us. I also think cooking it outdoors is stellar. But note, I’m a Texas native so cooking steak outside, well yes.

[@rhino5419]

Right place no doubt. Natures odors. No pollution, no industrial noise. Nothing to take away from the beef. All the best.

[@georgebroderick8582]

Your best video yet, love it mate!! So calm peaceful and the amazing steak!!🤩 I admire your motivation to get out and do these things all on your own, very inspiring!!keep it up !!😁

[@just_alex]

Thanks for watching George! :)

[@sarahp1383]

What a beautiful lunch in such a tranquil place. For those brief, sublime moments ,you savoured bliss. And what I marvel most about you, is the way you are so well equipped in each trip, whether its a portable pizza oven, or the the thermometer on hand to check the right cooking temperature, to the many handy kitchen tools , saw dust blocks to keep the wood burning stove going. cameras , battery chargers...so organized. Never at a loss.

[@Gentile212]

Can I just say your camera work.. Editing and music is absolutely superb!!!.. Alex we live on.. We don't die and I pray that God reveals himself to you. You are blessed and loved. I pray you all the best in your adventures.. I will be tuning in 🙏💙

[@SEHfishing]

HOLY MOTHER OF STEAKS!! 🤯😍 You realize what you've done Alex??? This video was MENTAL!!!! 🤯 Thank you for probably the BEST KZbin video I've ever seen!! 🤯😍🙌🏻

[@just_alex]

Haha. Thanks fir watching!

[@strawhatguides8891]

Had to give your video a like, if only so that you can get your next Wagyu. I was lucky enough to try it in Japan - in a tiny 16 seat restaurant. The chef didn’t ask how I wanted it cooked, but I needn’t have worried as, like yours, it came out like beef flavoured butter. I could even ‘cut’ it with chopsticks! Well done for introducing more people to this fantastic product.

[@markvanstone6948]

Alex I am loving your videos, keep up your mission, We are with you all the way

[@just_alex]

Thank you! :)

[@airam3757]

Your video came up in my feed so I had to check it out and I have to say I was not disappointed. I loved your humming to " The Final Countdown ", but all I kept thinking was I hope that steak doesn't fall off your cutting board. This video was marvelous. 🥰

[@just_alex]

Thanks for watching!

I love your passion for the simple things in life Alex. That steak looked amazing. The forest surroundings were tranquil and perfect. Keep up the great content 👌

Hey Alex I'm a huge fan of all of your videos and have followed you and Carl for ages. Sad to see you two are going your separate ways but love the fact you've made your own channel and started a career. Respect 👍

Yes man!! What a fantastic thought about life. Keep living buddy. Keep trying new stuff. And enjoy every moment

[@just_alex]

[@Reqnr]

Only just discovered you and there is something really great that you have with your videos.. It reminds me of Steve Wallis (aside from him being Canadian and older than you) in that it's very simple, some light editing, no effects, no click bait style, and just an all-round chill feeling. Keep on doing what you're doing Alex, you've got a sub from me, but keep it simple - it's your USP

[@just_alex]

Thanks so much for your comment. Means a lot

Hey Alex The stove box is the perfect two sided wind shield. Its only ever a problem if your pan extends past the area of the stove. A5 is so good !! kudos to you . Most wouldn't cook it on the berm, but I fully endorse your atmosphere choice!!!!!

[@just_alex]

Cheers for watching!

[@sombersloth7010]

Looks tasty as hell, my guy. Also on my bucket list, although I'll probably never do it because of the price. I consider buying a ribeye at the supermarket a luxury!

[@carrot5610]

for drawers when travelling it might be an idea to do what airplanes do, and have a rotating piece that you can just twist up to stop the drawers from moving during travel. without having to change the drawers you could also use some elastic or an elastic string to wrap each side around the drawers knob and keep it from falling out

[@twinpotracer]

I've been an avid fan of you and Carl and watched you both grow up. You're both and individually an inspiration! It concerns me that it appears you have reached a crossroads in your life, dare say it, with an element of sadness. If this is the case, I can only hope your travels bring you nothing but happiness!

[@just_alex]

Cheers for the support over the years. I appreciate your concerns. :)

Yes Alex loving the solo content can't lie will always look forward to seeing you an your brother fishing 😊

[@Berealwith]

I have this on my food list. So far the best food and place I have eaten is the oldest restaurant in the world. That is Casa Botin, it is in Spain Madrid, I had roast suckling pig one of its signature dishes, it was dam gorgeous, as I was working in Madrid I went on a steak fest and ended up going back to have Steak and Chips done in the kiln that blew me away more than anything I had ever eaten. So then the A5 went on my list too. Glad you enjoyed it Alex.

[@MrDev123321]

Great video. Love the content

[@HoneyandMe]

Thank you for sharing this experience! My mouth is watering just thinking about how it must have tasted. We eat mostly moose meat at our house, sometimes deer, as my husband is a hunter. When you hunt and butcher your own meat, you know it had a good life and is as organic as you can get. Now, I have to go cook some meat 'cause I'm hungry!

Hi Alex, one hint to solve the drawer problem. Just you need to mont some kind of lock mechanisum. Like a screw with a pice of flat rotating wood or metal. But may be a van will be the best Solution ;-)

If ever I win the lottery, I'll get some of that steak. Great video Alex. If I had known you were into things like this when you stayed here, I would have suggested that we go to my spot and cook a meal. I often take the dog and my wife up there. We both love sitting on a fallen tree in the forest, make a coffee and then cook our Dinner. Food always tastes much better out doors.
