High Mountain Adventuring, Backpacking, Trout Fishing, 4 x 4 Action & Firebox Stove Campfire Cooking

This trip was well planned out. Lol, that plan went out the window when my buddy Joel wasn't catching fish. We were improvising, then my buddy didn't feel well and went home (he spent 6 hours in the emergency room but I'm glad to report that he's okay now) It was just me and the dogs Ash & Juni. Being all new country for me, I was exploring around a bit, which almost got me into trouble. I found myself rock-crawling my Toyota Tundra on a remote trail that I wasn't sure I could get through. Luckily everything worked out. I ended up backpacking my camping gear into the lake where I spent the night tarp camping and caught some nice fish. I caught and released two beautiful Arctic Grayling, two Rainbows and two Brooke Trout, one of which I kept for dinner cooking my traditional trout and potatoes dinner on the Firebox Stove. All this improvising caught up to me at the end of the trip when I found myself in the wilderness with all my camping gear and my packable folding Kayak, Too much to comfortably pack out so rather than make two trips I manned up and worked myself like a rented mule carrying the heaviest backpack of my life. In the end, it really wasn't that hard and gave me a great work out getting me in shape for the rest of this backpacking season :) Good Times!
I'm an inventor who loves this outdoor adventure lifestyle! I make premium gear that works, holds up well and is fun to use. I've tried it all through my 40 or so years of camping experience and wanted to do it better. Please check out my website where you can see my gear. We also have a camping food cook book where you can find out how I make the meals you see in my video's. Other recipes and camp cooking hacks are also submitted by the good folks from the Firebox community. Thanks everyone!

I love that boat, having a cup of coffee sitting on a rock and looking at the lake, priceless.

[@cfiav8r962]

I may own nearly every product you produce but I have to say I really enjoy the overnight camping scenes the most! In turbulent times for Americans I Thank YOU for the great videos of trips in the backcountry to keep us from losing sight of our passions.

Thanks for all the effort you put into showing us how you get there. Just be a pain doing a drive by and coming back for camera.👍👍👍👍

Certainly makes things take a little longer but it's all part of the adventure right 👍

[@tampahomeinvestorsllc7559]

@@fireboxstove I appreciate the little details as well. It tells the full story that way. Thank you!

[@woodsbikes6130]

That's true. A lot of YT hosts do that here. Setup the camera then walk or drive by, then have to double back to retrieve the camera. They cover the same steps several times just for one shot. I call that devotion to their viewers. 😎😁. It takes a lot of time and effort on their parts. 😎😁

[@togodbetheglory9725]

NO STRESS WHATSOEVER...THANKS TO YOUR VIDEOS I CAN DISCOVER HOW BEAUTIFUL MOTHER NATURE IS...YOU JUST KEEP FILMING AND I KEEP WATCHING..GOT BLESS 🙏

[@hervue85]

Looks like my pack. My family likes the outdoors, but in no means, love it. I often have to carry alot of extra glamping gears, food, and snacks for them to enjoy a natural beauty of a hike. Last year we've invited other families to join us, half way thru, we were starting to lose people. I planned the trip so i had to go make sure everybody was ok, my bil who was behind me asked to carry my bag to they can slowly keep going. I took off my pack, handed to him, it immediately dropped to the ground. He exclaimed, "what the heck do you have in here? Second thought, we'll just take a break til you get back." It's so hard to bring family and friends to go with you who can go the distance and understand that weather isnt always what it appears to be. So glad you're able to pack and go where ever you please. Keep it up.

[@tracker5849]

I have a question..request..i know we have all watched you a million times and I'm probably the only person that can't do it but could you please in one of your fishing videos PLEASE do a slow tutorial on how you remove the bones!! You make it look so easy. I tried and was stabbed in the mouth by small bones I didn't get. Ok..it wasn't a trout..we don't have them here except at grocery. But a fish is a fish I guess...so your method should work. I don't eat alot of fresh fish because I was never properly taught to remove bones. I LOVE FISH. Thank you. I know it's kinda a dumb request.

[@ssfhjhgvgc7689]

Some fish have tons of bones that are hard to remove but like trout does not have many bones

[@jamiepizz]

Damn Steve, how many pounds you think you were carrying? I totally give you credit for carrying that load AND still filming! Thanks for sharing!

[@tomassmith5461]

What happened to the goats? they could have carried your other gear so that the kayak wouldn't be so much, wow adding another 26lbs from that kayak is crazy. Was it worth it to bring with you? Maybe an alpacka raft might have been better. those can go down to about 4 lbs. Great video

[@fireboxstove]

Thank you for watching, the goats will be back soon......wasn't sure how they would work out on this trip.
