I don't know why, but you guys make me happy.

[@Suzifully]

When i saw this video pop up in my video feed, my first reaction was to exclaim out loud, "YES!". Love your videos, and food, best of both worlds!

[@DerekLieu]

I love this! The food is one of my favorite parts of your videos 😄

[@jessibuzz3363]

Yessss! I love this, watching you guys cook over the fire is always my favorite part of your longer hiking and exploration videos. :D

[@ottmountain733]

I can see adding Sriracha sauce and chorizo sausage to the egg one. yum!

[@smetlogik]

That is a gourmet meal when you're hiking. Hungry now.

[@starcatcatherinehale1893]

Love this stuffed potato idea, I'm very, very much a potato fan. I love making jacket potatoes or Hobo packets for easy outdoor meals. They are so easy to prepare and needs little supervision while cooking. I think you could probably pre-make and cook these in the oven at home with just about any filling, let cool, freeze them, then add another layer of foil (for extra protection when heating in fire since they are already cooked), then just take with you in a zip-lock bag and put them in the coals to heat through. They would still get that smoky fire taste while heating up. They would be perfect for overnighters, day hikes, cold weather camping (since you usually have a fire anyway), or for that first night when your all pooped out by the end of the day LOL, pre-done makes them even easier and gives you a greater variety of options on the fillings. Also, one more "tip", if I may, lol, if you rub or brush the outside of the potato with vegetable or olive oil, or butter and then sprinkle liberally with salt and pepper before wrapping and cooking, the potato skins become super yummy and are good for you too. 💗

[@AdventureArchives]

We made some hobo meals on our other trip with Nicole (from Allegheny)! Actually, we might've done that at New River Gorge, too, haha. They were definitely really delicious. Cheers! -Andrew

[@gettemeh2o]

Steak and mushroom!! Brocolli and Cheddar!! Pre/par cooking those potatoes is a good idea. I would even put ham, shrimp and tomato and have jambalaya!

[@EchoBase-Music]

Came for the camping tips, left with a craving for baked potatoes 😊

[@mgarretter1]

Love your videos. Thank you. As a busy person,caught up in the rat race and work,and being someone who wants to travel more,I guess I live vicariously through others lol. Everything is great about your videos,but one thing stands out to me,and that is the narration. Excellent job!

[@Nerding4Nature]

My favorite so far has been dehydrated tofurky tacos. That ground stuff that comes pre-seasoned dehydrates really well. Throw on some cheese, put it in a wrap, and it's a tasty lightweight meal. It's not that creative, but it's the only meals that I make that isn't a one-pot bowl of mush.

[@chrisjones7353]

Andrew just might be my favorite. I really enjoy your work, great content. I can only imagine how much work you put into the videos. Thank you guys.

[@willpopemusic]

Genius! Yes, the food.. but also the idea to expand your channel to include your culinary creations and tips!

[@JordanClark]

I love this idea! I have a backpacking trip coming up and I've been looking for new meal ideas, so your video came at the perfect time. I'm excited to try this out!

[@trailcat71]

Absolutely doing this next trip!

[@EricVentures]

Good food just makes camping/backpacking so enjoyable after a long trek! I love taking steak and potatoes for a multi day for a first nights celebration meal! Love the vids AA, keep them coming.

[@jaaasper]

Awesome to see camping recipes in your videos, especially with camping season around the corner. I'm hungry now. Keep it up!

[@thadesplatter5080]

Gonna use this on my next trip. Thank you!

[@jaronnix]

Amazing idea! This might have convinced me to ditch the glorious staple of my backpacking diet: instant mashed potatoes

[@JarredSutherland]

I'll put this to use with our trip to dolly sods in may!

[@serena_davis]

This would probably work with sweet potatoes too. 🤔😋 How about some xiang chang/lap cheong (Chinese sausage) as another ingredient you could put in? Looking forward to more of your creative camp cooking videos! 👍

[@rumblechick73]

If you nuke or par cook the potatoes before you leave they will be easier to scoop and require less cooking time over the embers. I like to pre-make chili or garlic shrimp pasta in cream sauce, then vacuum seal it, freeze solid and wrap in paper bags or newspaper, by the time I've hiked in they are thawed and only need to be reheated (boiled in the bags) to enjoy.

[@thenewhiker4580]

You’re making me hungry. Seriously good video and super high quality production.

[@Destiny23575]

I don’t get out camping anymore but will try this at home. Looks delicious

[@f22shift]

This is awesome. More of this.

[@laniemon]

I have to make this one of these days. Thank you for the inspiration, AA peeps 👍.

[@NavigatedChaos]

If you crack a egg open and pour it into a small mason jar, when you pour the egg out again into your cooking pan or pot, it'll pour out the entire egg just like when you put it in the jar. Multiple eggs don't mix unless you shake it well. Each egg will pour out at a single time. Also this must be the video you talked about in the stream you did Andrew.

[@AdventureArchives]

Yup! It is indeed. Went on the stream right after sitting in those woods, haha. I've thought about carrying eggs in a container, but was worried about them spoiling quicker outside of the shell. I guess in a mason jar it'd be air tight, though. -Andrew

[@ChrisWilliamsRMWpigeon]

I'm guessing, instead of a spud, you could also use wraps or flat breads and fill them with you're favourite filling and fold then wrap in foil, these would cook quicker also, beans cheese and chilli sounds really nice :)

[@AudioVisualResources]

Great video, gents. I think these can round out the channel nicely. I also like the graphics, the commentary, the options, the videography...everything. The best part, though..."Spud Plugs"?!?! Awesomely hilarious! Keep this coming.

[@ChrisWilliamsRMWpigeon]

love the campfire scenery btw, big thumbs up from me!

[@SuperIain13]

Thanks for sharing, I'm definitely going to try this!

[@bureauoffakecontent1111]

Looks good guys. Can not wait to try it out, thanks. Stay safe and good adventures guys.

[@sallylouise9826]

I may even make these at home they look so good !

[@JoshHerodOutdoorAdventures]

That looks really good

[@uptrail7169]

Looks Good!! Next time I'll have to come up with something creative when we meet.

[@birdbrainZ]

Love campout cooking. More please! :)

[@lelandpeck4585]

great cooking ideas, guys. Thanks so much. Really enjoyed it!

[@craiglambert9515]

Cannot wait to do this

[@BartGmusic]

My friends and I are definitely going to try some variations of that when camping this summer:)

[@BackpackingWithJason]

Wow. That looks great. Good job guys.

[@adayu2381]

Love this (my mouth is watering haha)! Hope you guys do more recipes in the future

[@orelight22]

Great video! Like rustic papas rellenas.

[@craigbetts1586]

I might just try that at home in the oven, they looked real good to eat, thanks for sharing

[@calebbowie]

YAYYYYYY. The food is one of my favorite parts of the videos.

[@Santiago2582]

Great video! I hope you make more like this one.

[@EladLavyUzan]

Great video!

[@jordanhoward10]

All I can say is mmmmmmm

[@dtam88]

I'll have to try this next time I'm by the campfire.

[@jingbar]

Looks great

[@MrFloris]

More of these please, this is awesome :)

[@robertwrobel127]

Excellent video.

[@lucidx88]

love the video! more videos like this one

[@MrOne2watch]

an Onion Blossom cooked the same way would be good with that !

[@justin_tan_89]

"Now, the moment of truth. Tasting and judgement". Is that an Iron Chef reference there? o.O

[@_Smash_]

"Spud Plug" lol

[@Artworks6710]

Yummy! Is there anything you guys aren't good at?

[@FromTheDustOutdoors]

You all made me hungry. Spud Plug is an awkward name though lol. -James

[@criscoleman]

This is the first time you've mentioned how long you cook your foil meals, something I've wondered since the first time you did it. Is it the same times for all the foil meals? Thank you.

[@hervue85]

New Sub here here. More camp meals!

[@SteveFiford]

Dessert Spuds pretty please

[@AdventureArchives]

Now that's an interesting idea... Might have to try that on our next outing. -Andrew

[@razbiton173]

Do you guys still using buck 119?

[@AdventureArchives]

Less now, since its kind of a bulky and heavy knife

[@JapanScott1]

Were the spuds precooked?

[@AdventureArchives]

In this video, no they weren't

[@JapanScott1]

AdventureArchives I wasn’t quite sure. In one part the inside looked soft and in another part it looked hard. Either way, they look yummy!

[@AdventureArchives]

Yeah they cooked perfectly, I was really happy with it! ~Bry

[@san7_7]

Sup guys

[@jackpumkinhead9583]

Looks great but a lot of trash to pack out, probably be better for car 🚗 camping ⛺️

[@PradeepMenon666]

Nicole did it better! :P

[@justgween7573]

The only "creative" thing I ever do in cooking is add too much Italian or Paprika. -_-
