Chicken and Waffles While Truck Camping in Snow & Rain

[@atcay81]

That rain on the tent = A blissful sound, so relaxing!

[@rustynailmendlesohn8710]

totally agree😀⛈⛈

[@laynesmind]

I can't "thumbs up" this hard enough. Thank you for getting out there and putting in all that effort; the tent, the meal, both of them high on the difficulty scale. And that's before you add in filming, editing and clean up. I enjoyed it a lot. Full kudos dude!

[@isaiasrivas7431]

I love the majestic feel of nature juxtaposed with wonderfully frying chicken in your intro.

[@sherab2715]

Your editing, your environment shots, your camera angles are fantastic! We live in Tacoma and just bought a truck and am about to build bed base in the back, and our topper gets installed Wednesday! Love your videos and I'm a new sub!!

FYI...... soaking the chicken in the milk for a certain amount of time will not help in the flavor of the chicken. You might as well soak it in the chicken and immediately add the flour and you will get the same result. The only time marinating meat for a while works is if you use something such as garlic and lemon because the acitity of the lemon breaks into the cell of the chicken and that is why even certain seafood can be cooked partially with lemon. But, milk and eggs are proteins and proteins do not break down the protein of meat unless you marinate it for hours. Meats break down in any liquid after a while. The best combo to marinate meat with is lemon, garlic, onions, and cayenne sauce, and put on the entire meat (cut part of the meat skin to the side to coat the actual meat for balanced flavor). If it's a chicken leg pull the skin down to the heel without completely removing the skin. If it's chicken wings don't bother removing the skin.

[@JonnyDIY]

If you use buttermilk and soak the chicken over night it really does make a difference. Buttermilk is naturally acidic, not too much but it is

[@worklessenjoylifemore]

The great lengths we go through to make videos!! Wow, I totally give ya props for all that!! I can’t imagine the thought and preparation behind this video. Keep up the good work 🤙

[@sondrajohnson2564]

I love cooking while camping. The food tastes so much better! John is a good cook and shows how creative you can be instead of just hot dogs and hambergers!

[@sandrox46]

Thank you for the huge effort in this one! While I feel awful for you having to set everything up, then take it down (while wet) it was so wonderful to watch your cooking with the sound of rain on the tent. What a cozy atmosphere! And the walk in the morning, the snowy river... Much of it must have been wonderful!

[@SeizeTheAdventureCo]

Nothing like chicken and waffles in the rain! Such a cozy meal to warm up the bones on a cold evening. There’s something to be said about cooking and camping videos. It almost takes us back to our primal ways when food and shelter were the only necessities to survival. Cheers friend!

[@shampoovta]

I have suggested this to another KZbin guy who built a camper on his tiny truck in Japan 🇯🇵, all of you camping cooking guys should put together cookbooks. People still like to collect coffee table books and this subject would make a good camping/cooking one. Your tent is killer. My dad got an old military canvas tent in the 80’s that stunk like hell but it was bulletproof. We had to clean it out every year for trips. Never forget sweeping out that monster.

[@TheEdelKampers]

Dinner looked yummy. Great Job! Ohhh but the clean up, sigh. What a beautiful sight to wake up to. We are impressed at how much work you put into one overnight. Mary💕Fred

[@carlosperez9601]

That’s the life. Free time to cook maybe a beer on the side or before and being in nature . These videos are great.

[@tinopressurewashing5347]

I feel you when you take your first drink of the beer! Just hitting the soul! LOL

[@Judah98]

Only Johnathan can pull that jacket off. Love the throwback! 💯👌👍

[@yellowstonenaturerc8518]

The chicken, .."The Chicken" .. Oh my, it looked Amazing, I could almost taste it when you bit into it... Dang I want some now ... Thanks

[@1jackvalley580]

The meal looked so good, you put a lot of work into it. When you put the tent up it was so cozy in there with the 🌧️ rain coming down while you were cooking, but honestly all I could think of was how much easier it would have all been with the Slumber Queen. Don't forget to unroll and set up the tent again soon, so it can dry out before mildew sets in. Fun video, 👍

[@purepearls2013]

I love seeing your adventures in your vehicle on the road. Travel. Is a wonderful thing.

[@Sirshackleton]

You do put your heart into making these videos! Thank you!

[@88meemaw88]

That chicken looked fried to perfection. Beautiful video with awesome scenes and the sound of raindrops on the rooftops of camper and tent…priceless. Thank you for all the hard work and dedication. 🙏♥️

[@kelliephoenix]

The snowy river shot was definitely amazing/magical and serene! 🤍 Great content and good vibes, looking forward to more of your videos! 👏😊

[@sniperwiper100]

Because of inspiration from you, I’m leaving early May for a car camping trip for a month! Thank you for all the great advice! ♥️

[@hgdcbbgilnvd]

That's great maybe one day u both will become woods men and women lol.

[@milonetzler67]

Omg dude u had me rolling in laughter the last 3 mins! From u walking out of the tent sipping coffee letting out your wooo! Then u fighting a bag that was bigger and probably heavier than u! Lolol keep up the good work bro. I’m Gina meet u out there someday.

[@glendanorman781]

Jonathan! Wow some of your pictures of the trees are gorgeous! Especially the black and white (probably because of the snow) ones on video. They would make beautiful black and white photos for hanging on a wall! Or even post cards! I love them! Thank you for taking us along with you!

[@bernieromero9366]

This video is why I’m glad that I found you last year. Keep it up your camping, cooking and adventures. 👍👍👍👍

[@bertkelly7650]

Don't feel guilty Johnny. It's your show, gosh darn!

[@ruthwickline1000]

Living in the Catskills of NY.. many a spring morning starts with rain turned to snow… my 96 year old mom says it’s farmers free fertilizer… born and raised always lived in the Berkshires of Massachusetts, i believe her…❤️

[@KS-ud8pg]

Love how you don't hide anything when cooking and eating!

[@hoyo1465]

Your video is so inspiring to get out in all kinds of weather. And being whole food plant based that fryed chicken made my mouth water. But you made me gasp when you flipped the jackery on it's side and then you left it on it's side all night. I believe that somewhere in my past I was told that was a no no for batteries. And the box it cam in had this side up. I could be wrong I'm not a machanic. But I know what I paid for my jackery 1000 . Great videos 👍 keep them coming

[@susans8539]

Kudos for assembling that massive tent alone. 👍🏻

[@BrendanExplores]

Great video, those chicken and waffles look fang tasty 😁. I cooked pizza down by the lake last week in my car 😋. Can't beat a bit of car camping 👍

[@lizsanabria5541]

Bravo you did a great job on the chicken and waffles you are a great good hope you enjoyed your meal . That noise of the rain would have drove me crazy god bless you thank you for sharing love your camp sight and have a Happy Blessed Easter

[@charliebrewer617]

The work put into that trip will be memories for you. 👍

[@mkventures5259]

The beautiful scenery and experience is totally worth the struggles of packing up. Really enjoyed this video!

[@Dradd510]

Love the temp build man, I'm glad you stuck with truck camping!

[@travelingmonsters]

Chicken and waffles??!!!! Are you serious??!! 🤤 wow!!!

[@fesp7728]

Great job J! That chicken and waffles meal looks amazing. Thanks for your videos.

[@shanewill5891]

Quality's only getting better! 😁

[@shanewill5891]

Love the combo of tent and truck together @jonathan

[@JimSlim7031]

aways love the energy you put into your b-roll, youre a great visual story teller. also this made me wish the PNW so much. Socal has nothing on it, there i said it

[@grewefamily]

The tent getting put into truck looks like a dead body 🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@bkad6238]

You made that beer look so good I had to pause and get one for myself 😁

[@marktaylor9975]

This was a cool video man. Good meal, awesome place, lotta hard work into this. Right on man.

[@kristibeisecker]

bringing a canvas tent for a meal - dedication

[@Danfinitely]

An upload during the week? That’s a W!

[@jewel4989]

Great job J! That chicken and waffles meal looks amazing. Beautiful video with awesome scenes and the sound of raindrops on the rooftops of camper and tent…priceless. Thank you for all the hard work and dedication. Thank you for taking me along on this journey with you. It reminds me of when my friend and I went camping about 3 years ago. What wonderful memories. Drive safe. Keep safe. God bless!🥰

[@natalielebron5532]

Your so creative Johnathan!!! Awesome idea

[@myvanlife1]

Everyday really is a gift!!! Thank you Lord Jesus!!!

[@deniseroberts460]

So glad to see some snow…the meal looked delicious. Thanks for sharing 👍🏼👍🏼

[@SeaOfLuv]

Your editing is getting better and better each time.

[@ruthwickline1000]

Very true, thanks for pointing that out…

[@umagproductions4140]

Beautiful snowy location! That river would be an a great cold soak spot.

[@yellowstonenaturerc8518]

Ok, I waited and waited to see how you handled the 'cooking oil' ... what did you do with it?

[@kazumibear6683]

Thanks for sharing your Chicken and waffle recipe. Now I'm sure I will order it from a restaurant, after seeing the tedious process, there's no way I would attempt to cook it. 😅

[@13outdoors47]

The chicken and waffles looked great. Next time try melting your butter with the syrup together and add a few dashes of hot sauce….. it’s amazing 🤩 👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽

[@RutherfordTony]

Your love for cooking shows. You can cook up some great looking meals. I hope you can expand on that whether it be personal or professional if you choose. I don't understand why Tessa doesn't go with you more on some of the trips. There could be some good quality time together. Anyway young man take care of yourself and safe travels.

[@georgekerr8804]

My daughter and I were rained out as it got dark in Oak Creek Canyon, AZ. I Just stuffed the whole soggy tent into the trunk. What a mess. Then I drove, for hours, back to Palm Springs, CA.

[@ruthwickline1000]

No one could do it better! Good cooking!!!!!

[@patshankle3281]

OMG I had my earbuds in and listening to the rain hitting the tent and then the truck was so relaxing. Love ur videos 💜

[@pamelareed973]

The best video ... fair play to you . Your a great cook and everything tastes better when it is cooked outdoors x

[@immgrntsrus]

JONATHAN!!! You HAD open buttermilk! Buttermilk waffles!! 😭😭😭

[@Tbpker22]

Jonathan, you might want to unfurl the canvas tent and spread it out so that the canvas dries without forming mold, which it might if it isn't spread out to dry. Nice adventure today!

[@cathylodwick983]

Really loved this video. Great job on the chicken and waffels.

[@pattin4015]

Thank goodness for the tent...deep frying and rain would've splattered like crazy. Beautiful snow sights.

[@pnwoutdoorlife2720]

Another great video Jonathan. I always get so hungry when you cook. I can’t imagine setting up and taking down that monster tent alone lol. What campground is that and do they fit trailers?

[@atcay81]

Awesome dude, that's a bloody great set up... Love the tent with your inbuilt picnic table lol ❤️it Cat🇦🇺

[@ruthwickline1000]

Yes, very cool idea! BUT I MISS THE SLUMBER QUEEN

[@masonstruckadventure9368]

Love the set, pretty clever utilizing the picnic table. I think QVC maybe looking at there new super star salesman! Lol

[@howdydo7320]

Looks like a good place to camp in the "SUMMER-R-R!!!" Enjoy ur video.

[@domalash]

I'd love to see a Gordan Ramsey reacts to Jonathan Yentch Chicken and Waffles. lol By the way we all know cooking with oil in a pot is dangerous and we are very careful not to spill it but it's also very dangerous for fire. I had a pot catch fire and it was insane. Basically, I turned the element on high to heat the oil quickly but my element can get super hot and it's not limited like a deep fryer. So distracted by my computer just a few feet away the oil got to the smoking point. By the time I smelt it is was nearly on fire. I turned off the element then poof it was on fire!!! I covered the pot with the lid but the flames were still shooting out the side. Luckily it was a strong metal pot with glass lid. I was able to grab my oven mitts and hold the lid down as I moved the pot outside into the parking lot where it smoked for about an hour. It was crazy. Real lesson learned. I still cook with oil in pots and pans but never leave the element on high. Anyways, I feel I have to share this story as much as possible now.

[@JonnyDIY]

😳 dang thats crazy

[@MetisRose62]

I stumbled across your KZbin on my TV last night and binge watched 3 of them before bed. I loved this one...the canvas tent (i call trappers tent up here) I LOVE. The chicken waffle dinner looked even better, and the winter scenery was to die for. 🇨🇦 Great videos...now I'm going to slowly check out more! New fan here! 🇨🇦👍

[@jplivin9780]

Haha as long as we see the truck and your in the woods I don’t think we mind buddy. Great videos keep it up.

[@MyStolenAimbot]

Awesome video man! I’m always curious when watching these camping videos what happens to the leftover oil? Probably bought a jar along?

[@JonnyDIY]

Lol I was thinking same thing and then imagining him trying to pour it back in the bottle without a funnel 🤣

[@becalmlivelifetothefullest6752]

I think tent was a great idea plus cooking with hot oil is a risk.Being safe in rain is best.

[@biggiesmol]

Keep them videos coming! Love following your adventures.

[@TheHEDDLE]

Always look forward to your videos, Jonathon ! Thank you 😊

[@calvinmarshall1610]

Hi there great video love that view when you woke up the next morning!! Your chicken and waffles looked delicious looking forward to the next video thanks be safe.

[@evilcam]

Perhaps you should look into putting a coating on your canvas tent, in order to make sure it does not become quite so water logged and saturated, and gain so much weight. I've watched quite a few videos where people applied various kinds of coating to all kinds of materials, but for canvas the preferred coating seems to be silicone, at least on youtube. You can look up a bunch and see if it looks like something you'd want, and make a vid about the process yourself. Using silicone or the waterproof glue from the 'poor mans fiberglass' school of DIY, to oilskin coatings, would no doubt add a bit of weight to the tent even while dry, but any of the above should pretty much guarantee no water can really get into the fibers and add the absurd amount of wet weight you dealt with in this vid. The silicone method seems to be the easiest and has the shortest dry time, as the glue looked like it averaged 48 hours per cure, and the oilskin treatments seem to take weeks to months, to cure. Or if you decide to just leave the canvas as is and not treat it, that's fine too. You don't seem to want to bring it out every time you camp, and as such you probably don't need to make it water proof. If you do want to take it out, especially in a rain forest in the PNW, some sort of coating would probably save you a lot of time and effort, in the short and long run.

[@maxineoliver7404]

Beautiful scenery in your videos as always! And Yum!🍗🧇Short for now, but keep going no matter what-I like it!👍☕

[@pauletteskalko5909]

Thank you for going the extra mile to make a great video, the tent and making dinner was brilliant but taking the tent down almost made it a 2 person job. Do you have space to dry it out later? In my area leaving the food out over night is not a good idea. The dang bears are already out and the raccoons don’t ever hibernate, can’t even put trash out until our pickup day. Love seeing wildlife even in our residential neighborhood but it takes some planning for outdoor cooking.

[@Misshighness444]

He wakes up and all his stuff is gone 😂

[@ThetrueKorean]

Great video jon!

[@tims_always_fishing7117]

I was wondering why you set it up over the picnic table, genius!!

[@RevBTB]

I had hoped you were gonna do some sort of truck to tent attachment lol🤔 perhaps that could be a "thing" lolol 🤣😆 have heard super good reviews on Misen products.

[@cathyohlhausen6796]

Great job ! Washington is so much better then L.A where your from glad you can experience winter wonderland and take your viewers with you to see the great northwest 🤟🏼

[@maxineoliver7404]

Happy Easter too!🤗💐🚙🌄🏞️🐇

Heck of a lot of work for three chicken legs lol

Vow ! Thank you for sharing . i am impressed by how neatly organised you are.That was beautiful and pristine.👍👍😀

[@seamarlosfishingtv2851]

Great video my friend! Full support watching from RhodeIsland.. I'll definitely be doing that this summer .

[@towakiareed6181]

Hello. Meal looked tasty. Have you considered having a small air fryer? Maybe a little less to clean up.

[@jannetteortiz5508]

The Dutch oven... beautiful. Must get

[@57NUPE]

Yo J!!! That was an awesome meal dude!!! I’m getting one of those Dutch ovens Bro!!! Great job setting that beast up by yourself as well. Those tents are the best when they are setup, but I hate taking them down especially when they are wet. Plus where you are do you have time to set it back up and let it dry??? I was stationed at Fort Lewis, WA and I could never get my gear totally dry because of the amount of rain!! Well anyway, keep up the awesome content Bro!!!

[@Jujumaddaz]

Id like to take a moment to talk about the sponsor for today’s vi……. Tap tap tap🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@JonnyDIY]

Nothin else can curb that craving but the real deal fried chicken! Great time lots of work with the tent. Arent you supposed to put some sort of waterproofing on canvas tents? 🤔 PS- 10-15 minutes is all usually takes for fried chicken 🤤

[@coleengoodell7523]

Thanks for the beautiful and relaxing video. I'm weird about poultry as well. Even living in the south, I've never had chicken and waffles. I'm sure it's good, just not something that screams, must have for me.

[@robertminnis417]

Love your videos buddy, I love to camp also. It's something about food you cook outdoors always taste better. God bless and stay safe buddy.

[@kellimeguiar534]

The chicken looked wonderful!!! Where did you get your tent? Great idea it would give me more room and options while I'm car camping.

[@debbiewolfe9621]

Always my dilemma - what to do with the oil? what's your strategy?

[@karenwang313]

You get started drinking bud.

[@lokihallow]

I'm from Washington but currently living in madras and working In Redmond ha. I miss Washington tho I'm headed back next month to visit family

[@johnobrien8542]

I give you a big thumbs up for all your efforts on this one. 👍

[@markstevenmark]

That was a great video, you put so much hard work into it, well done you. Get a pop-up gazebo, so much easier. Happy Easter Jonathan 🍻🍻🍻

[@davidmills1639]

What a beautiful spot to camp. How did you dry out your wall tent? Do you hang it somewhere?

[@JL-dj5ek]

we appreciate all your effort. great video as always.
