After getting our camping van out of the shop two days earlier, we loaded it up for a trip down into the desert back country. The drive was going great until I realized I was leaking gear oil profusely and couldn't get the transaxle fill plug removed to check the level. We found a place to camp where I was finally able to get the plug off to find that the transaxle was full of oil and had likely been overfilled. We did some Firebox cooking, pizzas with our fry pan mess kit and rice Ramen from @lotusfoods with the Firebox Billy and of course a nice cup of coffee. We thought we would have smooth sailing so we went back into a remote Sandstone canyon and after some technical river crossings I stalled the van in deep sand and was unable to get it restarted. Luckily, some Good Samaritans from Blanding, Utah helped us out with a capable Toyota Tacoma, a winch, tow strap and a lot of muscle. They towed us to a spot along the highway where we were able to contact Triple A for a ride home.

I miss those days when my kids were that young, time flies. Great adventure, doesn't get any better!

[@ryanjones4917]

That little van is still more capable than I would have guessed.

[@wayneregister4211]

Was questioning about even considering a wood stove for camping, but reading reviews of your products and watching these videos have absolutely changed my perspective. And thank you for your involvement of your family in the adventures. My family started our own trips and your crew has motivated us to branch out.

[@fireboxstove]

I really appreciate those kind words Wayne, I am glad you are enjoying what you are seeing. I hope you all have fun out there and make lots of memories. Cheers!

[@wayneregister4211]

Gotta ask - what kind of dough did you use for pizzas (I was told by my girls this is a mandatory question)

[@fireboxstove]

Lol that is awesome, it is store bought dough. You can see the recipe for it on my website fireboxstove.com. We have an online recipe book so you can see all the recipes we use. You can even submit your own recipes and print the ones on there. Here is a link: www.fireboxstove.com/cookbook.

[@TikkerLoS]

I still can't get over how well you guys eat off that thing. pizzas looked great. My cousin is now 100% aeropress after seeing a couple of your vids

[@fireboxstove]

You can make so many great meals with how versatile the Firebox Stove is. I am glad your cousin liked the aeropress so much, it makes for a quick cup of coffee. Thanks for watching!

[@ridhadababi5858]

Good place +good equipment + Good pizza = Good family. Good continuation

[@russellrlf]

Man, do I miss those days of going camping with my kids. Just waiting for grandkids now...

[@fireboxstove]

Nice! My kids are still young and I'm already thinking about grandkids 👍

[@BadSkeelz]

Your videos always make me want a cup of coffee, even though I only watch them at night. It was nice to see that coffee grinder introduced here, after seeing it in others. It really does look quite nifty.

[@fireboxstove]

I am glad you enjoy the videos, thank you for watching. The coffee grinder is great and nests perfectly in the aeropress as well. Great little set up and nothing better than camping coffee.

[@littlebighead15]

Those shots of the van traversing that rough terrain is tops 👌🏼

[@fireboxstove]

Good stuff, I have fun with it. Thanks for watching!

[@Thecrispykid]

Except for the fact he realize he had to put the camera there walk back to the car drive past the camera walk back to the camera pick it up.

[@IzzyTheNose]

@@Thecrispykid Nah, that's precisely what made the shots so great. All that extra work he has to put in, just to get us a few seconds of footage. It's greatly appreciated. There's some really beautiful country you have out there. Watching your videos makes me want to spend a week or two in Utah.

I think it's videos like this, with you using your own gear and having fun with it that really makes someone trust it

[@lenimagrove8517]

It is a pretty family who loves adventure ! thank you for sharing that can see beautiful places. The landscapes in USA are often very very beautiful.

[@fireboxstove]

Thank you for the kind words Leni, it is a beautiful state for sure. Thanks for watching!

[@Cypret]

Love watching you guys. I live in one of the most urbanised parts of Europe and don't think I've ever been more than 5 miles away from a city in my life. Watching you explore the wilderness is a vicarious thrill, but also very peaceful and relaxing.

[@fireboxstove]

Thanks for the comment, it is definitely an adventure sometimes and that is what makes the great memories. Cheers!!

[@underthecarolinasky2363]

This is one of my all time fav Firebox Stove vids. The setting was perfect, everybody happy, and who doesn't like PIZZA! I've watched this episode 3 times lol. The way the cutting board fits in the pan for storage is so cool. Thanks for sharing! - Mike

[@fireboxstove]

Thank you for watching Mike, I am glad you liked it. It was a hit with the family for sure. We had fun on this trip. Cheers!!

[@scottyplug]

You guys are doing family RIGHT! Amazing memories you're building with your kids.

[@fireboxstove]

Thank you for the kind words!

[@rexmichaelson]

Just a few years back we had a 1973 Volkswagen bus which the kids and I build out into a camper. It was so much fun off road, and we enjoyed getting out as a family to those places where most folks couldn’t go. We’ve got lots of pictures and memories, but I sure do enjoy watching you and your beautiful family continue to make yours… Keep the videos coming, always great stuff!

[@fireboxstove]

I really appreciate that so much! I have fun with them all out in the woods making memories, I feel like it's really important. I am glad you have that with your family! Thanks for watching!!

[@RandomButtonPusher]

Gotta love helpful strangers and AAA. Another great adventure that reminds your customers how to get the most from their Fireboxes in real-world situations. Well done.

The part that you made coffee and were drinking it around your dogs gave me a sense of calmness

[@fireboxstove]

[@bryanwickizer7485]

I must have seen your morning coffee routine like a couple dozen times and for whatever reason it never gets old. Love the videos.

Great video as normal steve, just a quick tip you might know this already. With the msr water bags can be put in the freezer between uses to kill any bugs if you miss any while cleaning. Ive been storing mine in the freezer for years

[@fireboxstove]

Awesome tip Lee, thanks!

[@steakwilliams4448]

"Ah she's dead! And she was slapping her face trying to wake her up" "That's yummy" I can't wait till my kid is old enough to come camping and tell stories. That's the best camp cooking pizza I've seen yet. I think I'll make one on my Firebox in my back yard. Just for the fun of it

[@fireboxstove]

I think you will thoroughly enjoy the pizza! Turned out very good for our first try. I hope you have many adventures with your kid out there! Thanks for watching!!

[@fireboxstove]

Thank you for watching, I am glad you enjoyed the video.

[@sickerOr]

Awsome car, outstanding landscape! These interesting "rock formations" are sedimentary rocks with fossilized mullosk burrows from an ancient ocean floor! They stand out as they are made out of finer sediment grains than the surrounding material making them more erosion resistent. Cheers from Germany

[@fireboxstove]

Thank you for the information, I appreciate that. Have fun! Cheers.

[@PedroPetracco]

"One Piece At A Time"! Not the biggest Cash fan I know, but that's a hell of a tune! Also love "A Boy Named Sue".

Great adventure. The pizza looked great. Just the way we like to do ours. Hope everything works out great for the VW! Take care Shane

Thanks Shane! The pizza turned out better than I thought, the VW is back up and running great.

[@saltygreek3870]

Try putting coals only on the pie tin for a few minutes first, then add the pan on the firebox, since bottom of pan cooks faster, by cooking the top first for a couple minute it allows the pizza top and bottom finish at the same time , just an idea

[@fireboxstove]

Thank you for the suggestion, I appreciate it! I'll give that a try. Thanks for watching as well!
