Get yourself a stainless steel water bottle that you can heat in the fire. When the water is boiling cap the bottle, wrap it in a shirt or sock and place it in your sleeping bag. It will keep you warm and your water won’t be frozen in the morning. It’s hard to get your boots dirty when your feet are frozen. That desert ground looks hard as concrete. 🥶

[@matthewsmom010902]

Yes!!!

[@prairiefirewildernessskills]

A standard Nalgene will work too, aside from not being able to boil in it.

[@mytoolz]

I'm from Amarillo texas and I saw West Texas and was like let me check this dude out so far you have not disappointed good to see people camping in the neck of the woods where I'm from

[@JunkyardFox]

appreciate the love!

[@Wingman115]

Winter in the desert is a special time. But it does get dangerously cold at night. Loved those peppers wrapped in bacon.

[@circleofowls]

Desert camping and jalapeno poppers, it doesn't get any better. Really love the camping and bushcraft videos.

[@skyym3629]

Try staking your bacon to the peppers with toothpicks, don't forget and eat the part of the pick that doesn't burn up in the fire and stays in the food. My Doberman died from someone who gave her bacon-wrapped hamburgers and half the pick was still in the meat. I lodged in her intestine and she died a painful week-long death. We had an autopsy done on it for free because the vet had no clue as to what had killed her and that is how we found out and figured out the whole heart-wrenching scenario. God bless bro and thanks for the videos and info.

[@snellaltal]

Great tip Kevola, used that many times on cold nights. Nothing like having a warm nights sleep. A nice fire wall behind the camp fire helps as well to get a little extra heat reflected back at you on the real cold nights.

[@Jaxon1776]

I always enjoy your West Texas camp videos. Good work.

[@JunkyardFox]

Awesome, thank you!

[@edgit69]

I use the precooked bacon when making poppers camping. It still gets crispy and takes less time and not as messy from grease. New subscriber here and enjoy your channel

[@NEEZY69]

West Texas born and raised!

[@rmarques82]

16:48 Down here 🇲🇽 we use huizache to start the fire an then mezquite to cook. Huizache makes good flames and mezquite good coils. Pine add a bad taste to the food.

[@tammypeters6020]

Awesome, encouraging video. Hope to do my first camping this spring. A bit fearful to do it alone. Gonna be brave.💪

[@danv4513]

I have a titanum canteen. Picked up a tip from coalcracker about putting a wool sock around your canteen to keep it somewhat insulated. Worked for me so far

[@timdoht]

Hey junk dog, love your vids. When I go camping in cold weather and I have a fire, I charge up my thermal batteries ( Rocks ) in the fire. then place them under my tent, below where my feet will be resting when I'm unconscious. You must dig a hole deep enough that you don't melt the floor of your tent. It's a balancing act.Works out well in sandy areas where it's easy to dig.. I guarantee, those thermal batteries will still be pumping out heat after you get up in the morning. I figured this out after freezing my ass off when camping in Sheep Canyon in the Anza Borrego Desert and getting up in the morning and checking out the heat that was still coming off of the rocks around the fire ring. If you're going to enjoy the fire, might as well charge some batteries that you will enjoy all night long. Cheers!

[@JunkyardFox]

great suggestion!

[@hangtough503]

God damn. 91.1k. Beautiful my friend. Love to see genuine people thriving on YT. D🤙🇺🇸😎

[@brushbum7508]

Glad you got out & drank one ! TAKE CARE..

[@JunkyardFox]

Thanks, you too!

[@williambell2188]

Who sales the Mountain Laguna knife? I spent a lot of time in Alpine and the Big Bend country. Thanks for the camp!

[@larrykoroush6995]

Good eats, and my camping beer. You could velcro a thin plastic cutting board to the top of that cooler and be able to remove it to wash. And I carry a small tongs

[@larryparson9609]

Merry Christmas Junkyard Texas Camper winter 😊My neck of the woods north Austin Region love your show’s inspiration Happy Trails Thanks 🙏🏼

[@noone-bt3pl]

Why haven't you gotten some small metal tongs? With wild edibles having thorns and cooking they seem like a good idea

[@JunkyardFox]

i shouldve used my leatherman pliers but im a damn fool and didnt think about it

[@SonoraSlinger]

Good call. I keep a pair on my pack. Forged them myself to hold prickly pear tunas

[@jsboyer29]

Another awesome video James! That tent seems to be preforming pretty good. I also like the look of that knife.

[@marvcarey6815]

Thanks for the video James. Wishing you and C a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.

[@MrGabrielJude]

Omg I LOLd at the nutsack satchel bit, the name is funny but your reaction is hilarious! Dude it’s great, exercising your humor a little made this vid refreshing! Kinda made me wanna buy one based on the name. 😂 great one! Merry Christmas!

[@granvillej3316]

What a wonderful adventure great dinner and I learned something about woods actuality I live in Colorado and that’s all we have is pine trees I’ll have to grab me some mesquite to bring with me take care brother!!!!

[@nickhetu4829]

Hey, I know the poppers come out good on the smoker. I think they need to be covered. A Dutch oven might work well. Thanks for another cool show!

[@joemarlin4536]

🤣🤣 the name of that satchel!

[@rom65536]

For my 18th birthday my friends and I went camping in the high desert in Southern California. My birthday is mid-August. That night, it got so cold, our water jug froze over and I had to break the ice with a stick the next morning. Mid-August, and it got below freezing! No that I noticed, I was curled up in my sleeping bag next to the fire with my good friend Jim Beam.

[@behindthemountains]

Great night out in the desert James, you know how much I enjoy that type of camping. Most people don't realize how bloody cold the desert gets, was down to 22° the other night in a summer tent 😂 Cheers, my friend and love that Mt Laguna.

[@jeffslaven]

Another great video James! You've got that kneeling by the campfire pose down really good!

[@JunkyardFox]

i got the superhero pose down to a science!

[@daewalker3892]

Surely dig your organic style. Regular folks can learn a lot from other regulars.

[@ravenoutdoors8623]

I enjoy all of your videos James, but I do prefer these camping videos. Thank you for all the great videos for 2022, and hope your year closes with a bang. Cheers from Idaho to a an even better 2023, and tell Cuervo the same.

[@vivavasquez]

you remind me of my Dad . he took us camping in New Mexico mountains and Colorado . from El Paso

[@peterdiebel7372]

James , those peppers looked great. Gonna try them in spring. Cheers JF.

[@JeffreyCotle]

Hi James. I love your channel. Completely different country that what im used to. It's very beautiful out there. I'm used to mountains, large forest and streams everywhere. . It's very rugged and very steep mountains and very rocky. Here. God bless. Your channel is awsome.

[@JeffreyCotle]

Hi James. Let the fire turn to coals. Then put the grill closer. I have almost the same thing. ,but mine is hand made by local blacksmith. I am cooking on mine as t text you. Here in Pennsylvania. God bless😊😊

[@JeffreyCotle]

James. You want hardwood for cooking. I use oak, cherry, maple, hickory,and hornbeam. Pine is for just campfires. And drinking with my buddies. 😊

[@amospena2046]

I've been watching your content for a long time, I just wanted to say hi and a bigger hello from new Mexico!!

[@torisolis4985]

[@napoleonwilkie4985]

Your an interesting cook and camper. You've got courage, I give you that.

Thank you very much!

[@thesnodgrasschannel6782]

Nice work on this video man. Enjoyed it.

[@JohnBurdette-or7if]

That is a beautiful knife !

[@stevenchurch8901]

James, may you and yours have a very Merry Christmas and prosperous Happy New Year!!!

[@yuccanator1]

After reviewing your cooking section on the jalapeno poppers, what I found wrong was, I am not there to help you eat them poppers.

[@Johann-4354]

"Hey, Hombre" I've been using the Hello out of the fake K-Bar you inspired me to buy. Because it's tough 💪I think bringing it back out of retirement for a few weeks would make for a heck of a video. Mine is so hard core I can't destroy it, and, it's so easy to resharpen with my two ceramic rods it's almost ridiculous. I haven't had any problems at all with mine loosing the butt end or bending anywhere. Think about it 🤔 When out in the desert 🏜 you want reliability. Even cold steel has that new Leatherneck SF that looks just like the K-Bar. I tell ya, that aught to be worth 10 minutes.

[@hikingwithjackieboy]

Another great video from you. Thank you for sharing. Have a Merry Christmas 🎄🎄🎄

[@insatiable_mind]

Man those poppers look good! I love jalapeños but lately they’ve been tearing me up a few hours later.😂😢

[@justinjones5578]

Taking a breather, sounds great! Just what the doctor ordered.

[@frankadams8241]

Another great video James!! Rock on my friend!!

[@GTMGunTotinMinnesotan]

So cool. I love seeing different areas that are so unlike my own.

[@dangudgeon3833]

Corporal's Corner uses a squirrel cooker almost weekly. No flame, cook over the coals. Your wind is an unfortunate issue. Looks good. I did get a spam notification today.

[@SgtShirley]

Another KZbinr said the seeds don’t make those peppers hot. It’s the light ridge on the inside of the pepper that holds all the heat.

[@robertthatcher1039]

I was raised in Iraan for about 12 years good vid

[@RawFeeding101]

[@rickrunyon5086]

Not enough bacon 🤣🤣 enjoyed the video. Hope you have a Merry Christmas buddy

Good to see you neighbor! Thanks for sharing. Come up and do a winter overnight in the Gila.

[@southernyert7597]

Thx for video. Grt Camping & grt food. Take care

[@ronaldcolejr4132]

Easy fix: next time try to move some embers,etc to the side then add what you need for cooking. That should prevent from burning the food.

[@asmith7876]

Spent 4 years at Ft. Bliss…desert in winter can be BRUTAL. We got 2 feet of snow…crazy! No tent, but fortunately slept on top our tracked vehicle to keep away from the snakes and scorpions. Definitely never built a fire but wow wish I could have.

[@ronaldcolejr4132]

On another note just found you in my feed with this video. Videos look great, Got a sub!

[@johnnymack9600]

Come back here next year and there might be wild jalapeños 😅 Good video my friend.

[@coyote4936]

what model pistol do you have?

Check out the Wigwam Merino/Silk Hiker. These are my favorite wool socks

[@bigbore442001]

Nice time outside. That knife is really great. I live a couple of towns away from the Dexter Russell factory where they make that blade style. They used to make a longer and "beefier" version which made a great hunting knife but alas no more.

[@herbsmith6871]

Very nice my friend! Love the camping videos. Thanks for sharing and Happy Holidays 🧑‍🎄🤠

[@phillipdavis4507]

I really like your new hat it looks good on you that's the one you ever stay with

Great video,as always!. I enjoy a lot seeing you cocking outdoors,and camping like old school. Great recipe with the bacon and the veggie rolls. Thanks for the job,I'm one of the European greatest fans of you vídeos!. Buen trabajo amigo!.

[@vernlapoint1528]

Looks like so much fun I haven't been camping in years

[@Baby_Ray08]

You should check out the esee pr4 it is a kephart designed blade that I think you would enjoy and another product I would recommend for you to look at would be the lord and field swinging bushcraft grill. Great video as always

[@JunkyardFox]

I will check it out, never heard of that brand

[@PJ-mj1hy]

Esee is an awesome company. I personally love the Esee 4

[@pronetowander2153]

Looks like a nice place to camp nice video, I like that style of tent use up here in New England because I camp with my dog The wide door opening and no center pole have a good day..

[@MagiCaEagleCastillo606]

Cool video! Being from Arizona I like the desert rugged camping 😎🤙

[@toddcrossoutdoorsurvivalsk7456]

I love the food ideas you come up with!!! I’m going to try that. Thank you bro ❤️

[@danieltaylor5231]

Get a pair of thick leather work gloves. You can wear those when you need to adjust the high of your grill. And for many other things.

[@azmaddog6]

I love the inspiration! I am going to go out and get my boos dirty!

[@macuahuitlman]

Hey James, great video man! I feel ya on that cold weather, it's been freezing in the nights in my neck of the woods. S'posedly it's gonna get down to 13° F this coming week.

[@alexruiz8461]

Frist time watching your video enjoy it very much

[@LeprechaunFireman]

My suggestion is use the coals vs flames to cook those. Get the food closer to the embers.

[@LeprechaunFireman]

Dude ... once this heart surgery and crap is in my rear view, I would LOVE together and get out and get some dirt time!!

[@FulcrumMW]

Happy to see to no Tusken Raiders going after your truck on this solo trip :) glad you and Andrew Jackson stayed warm on this night. Maybe for the next Q&A; A story on why you named your cat Andrew Jackson? The real guy was a major pos, but your cat is of course a delight 🍻 Great video brother!

[@matthewsmom010902]

I was just getting ready to tell you to lower the grate on the squirrel cooker and you did it 😂

[@mickeycrawford121]

i was just thinking. out there there's probably not a lot of light pollution. how is the star gazing? anyway... those peppers look mighty tasty. got me drooling. every time i watch one of your videos, makes me want to head to the desert and do some camping. great videos.

[@circleofowls]

West Texas has some of the darkest areas in the country, the star gazing is life changing for newbies like myself. I had no idea...really incredible. Now I'm shopping for a good telescope.

[@rickyr7068]

You should have put that grill on the side wth titg the direction of the wind so ot get the heat.

[@PenntuckytheCrag]

Nice lil hollow for the desert

[@PenntuckytheCrag]

Very nice nite/ video James thx.

[@henrymontalvo9550]

You needed a. higher windbreak, or you could have dug a pit and conserved+directed far more cooking heat.

[@Mikee713]

Invest on some oven mitts. It's worth it.

[@robman247]

Nice show and tell there JY 🦊 one suggestion leather gloves and mini tongs don’t be like me I learned the hard way burn my fingers now i bring them 🥶🔥⛺️👍👌✌️🫡🇺🇸
