Solo Eclipse Truck Camping, Monster Burgers!

[@AlpineWarrior550]

So glad to hear that River is doing better…….. I have a smaller version of that grill….. works great with charcoal briquettes too… That was definitely a mouth watering breakfast ‼️💯 Thanks again my friend…….👍🏻👍🏻

[@Woodswalker1965]

I think I have the med size and I love it so fat. I’ll have to try it with charcoal. Thanks for watching bud👍

Freedom ALWAYS trumps Safety. Enjoy your time here. And we call them beanies. Great Video..Nuff Said..

[@Woodswalker1965]

Well said, thanks for sharing my friend👍

[@danield7300]

I’ve told this before, but you are very able to let this relaxed feeling transpire into your videos. Really enjoy this. And I agree, if you know how to control your dog, it should be allowed the feeling of freedom. Thank you for sharing your adventures.

[@Woodswalker1965]

Thanks for the kind words, I appreciate it my friend👍

From "Woodswalker 1968", my daughter and I drove to Bowling Green University in Ohio where it was "total" since my AOE was 90%ish in Michigan. Life changer for sure. Wish we would've camped someplace Sunday through Tuesday to skip the hellish drive. That fire pit looks very intriguing. Love your content.

[@Woodswalker1965]

Hello fellow “Walker”! Sounds like you had a great moment with your daughter, I had to settle for a cheeseburger 🍔 😀! Thanks for sharing!

[@reddirt5489]

That bacon looks amazing and those bacon cheeseburgers are just wow, I know they were delicious! That fire pit really cool, what an awesome car camping peace of kit. Hope to see River back out running in the woods having a blast very soon.👍

[@Woodswalker1965]

Thanks buddy, she will be out and about soon!👍

[@thomasoverton7131]

Another awesome video Wade. All my dogs have all been well trained and never needed to be chained up in the woods. Burgers looked amazing. Looking forward to seeing you and River in the woods soon. Thanks for sharing brother and God bless 🙏

[@Woodswalker1965]

Thank you my friend, I appreciate you!🙏

[@dlrmon1]

I haven’t heard of “stocking caps” referred to as Toboggan’s since my German grandmother in the 60’s...I do remember seeing an eclipse many years ago. This time around I was far from it’s path and so cloudy I couldn’t have viewed it anyway. It would have been a great birthday treat.

[@Woodswalker1965]

Since the 60s? Wow I’m older than I thought!😂😂😂

[@cliffordwright342]

That was a great relaxing video Wade. Just what I needed. Food looked awesome. Scenery was beautiful. Thanx buddy. I loved that fire pit

[@randy-9842]

"You can't bubble wrap the woods" - a perfect point as is, but I'll also suggest that you can't bubble wrap your kids or your dogs either. Don't _invite_ trouble but stuff is going to happen and that's part of learning life! Burger looked marvelous. We had clouds, but I could easily see the "near-total" eclipse here in NW Arkansas. Say howdy to River for us all! She'll be so excited to be camping again _(without the bubble wrap!!)_ that she may exhaust herself too much to fully enjoy that big treat planned for her! :D -- Oh, and the knife and portable fire-pit seem VERY nice! God bless and Happy Trails, Wade!

[@Woodswalker1965]

Thanks for watching my friend. It was a great trip but will be better with my dog!👍

[@starlingblack814]

Great camp! We did see the eclipse in Texas. Was very cloudy, but miraculously cleared for the totality. We got really lucky. Thanks for the video.

[@Woodswalker1965]

Wow that’s awesome to hear! Thanks for the visit my friend!👊

[@jasonaffeldt7838]

Nice to see you out. Be nice when River gets back out. Burgers, dogs, steak, and hobo meals out camping. Where I grew up it's a stocking cap. It was overcast during the eclipse for me as well. Take care Wade. Hope to see you soon my friend. 🇺🇲🔪🌲🔥

[@charlesseelye3528]

Burger, bacon, cheese. So good as long as you don't over do it. After too many over the years you can almost hear your arteries slap shut. :) Kind of drowns out the sounds of nature. Of coarse the coffee helps keep things pumping. Good time at the lake Wade.

[@Woodswalker1965]

So far my bloodwork is not only good, it’s excellent according to my Dr. I eat tons of veggies and very little meat at home so maybe that helps. Thanks for watching my friend, much appreciated😀👊

[@charlesseelye3528]

@@Woodswalker1965 Much the same here Wade. Lots of veggies at home but not at camp so much. Even then my cardio doc keeps wanting to have me lower my lipo numbers. I don't see that the numbers are so bad and what the heck something is going to get you sooner or later. I'm pushing 78 years and still get out on the hiking trails and just bought a bicycle to cut down on the gas use. Keep smiling! Best regards, Charlie

Always a pleasure to watch Wade. My dog has never been on a leash except in the vet's office. Hard to let him retrieve a duck or a goose at 80 years of a leash. Proper training is the key. Another toy off Amazon - there's something new...NOT! LOL. A man who loves his food and toys. Fun stuff. Stick with the healthy eating at other times though my friend. The weight loss / increased mobility will pay off when you hit mid 60's.

Nice, relaxing video. Those burgers were awesome! Thanks for sharing. I'm not much of a cook, so if I'm solo I often do hotdogs while camping. My wife is a great cook, so if she's with me I eat better.

[@Woodswalker1965]

Nothing wrong with a hot dog my friend. It’s been a while, I might do one next time!👍🌲

Great little spot. I have a GSI firepit that folds like a small table. Always comes with me in the truck camping set-ups. They are great, especially if the weather moves in, you can slide it near/under your tarp.

[@Woodswalker1965]

Thanks for the info, I’m a fan of GSI gear.🌲👍🔥

I think anything tastes better when cooked outside, any meat cooked over a fire does me, squirrel marinaded in garlic olive oil and old bay seasoning is a great simple munch.👍🏻

Glad to hear River is on the mend, Wade. As far as the eclipse goes, the exact same thing happened to us in Tennessee….total cloud cover and then sunny and beautiful right after the eclipse was over. What can ya do? Did you “dry cure” or “wet cure” the bacon? Slainte!

[@LunarEclipsism1]

This was a great video, mate, I appreciate you sharing it with viewers at home. I've only ever heard those hats called "beanies" or "knit hats" out here in the southwest and western US, but I'm familiar with 'toque' from folks like you on KZbin. You know it's funny, we only got a partial eclipse out here and I nearly missed it, only really saw the pinhole images through the shadows of the tree leaves on the ground. My brother-in-law and my sister had a road trip planned to get out to path of totality somewhere in Texas but BiL found out that their destination was likely going to have a lot of cloud cover that day, just like you experienced. After some hemming and hawwing he ended up splurging on some last-minute plane tickets up to Maine so they could see the totality with fewer clouds. They rushed out there and managed to see it. Bit too rich for my blood but I was impressed by his dedication to seeking it out at least, he was a big astronomy and space guy growing up. Thinking about it now, if I could have the quiet solitude of relaxing in the woods while still feeling the chill of the great shadow of our only moon passing overhead, versus the last-minute stress of hoofing it out to an airport to be stuffed in amongst a sardine can full of people to go see it, I'd take your eclipse day over his. Looked absolutely rejuvenating. I'm sorry you weren't able to see the eclipse proper but I'm still pretty envious of this time you got to spend in the woods. Thanks again for sharing it. Take care.

[@Woodswalker1965]

Good perspective my friend, it was still an awesome time regardless of my eclipse view! Thanks for watching and stopping by for a chat👍🌲🔥

[@Roarmeister2]

The word toboggan to describe a hat is a carry over word from the Quebec Metis fur traders of the 1700's. "The word toboggan is derived from the French _tabaganne_ . The French word is thought to have derived from an Algonquian word, most likely Mi’kmaq _tepagan_ or Abenaki _dabôgan_ ." Its usage to describe a knitted cap or toque extends down to the Ohio valley but it is extremely rare to hear in Canada these days. The word toque or tuque has taken over as the word to describe a knitted cap in Canada. The usage of "toboggan" in Canada has diminished since WW2 but apparently its use has continued south of the border. A toboggan hat is a long toque with that tapers into a scarf about 3'-4' long. The scarf end can then be wrapped around your neck and face for added protection from the cold. I had one when I was a kid in Saskatchewan. Toboggan is also the word we use to describe a wooden sled. In that case the word is derived from the Innu and Cree of northern Canada describing a wooded sled with curved front - a traditional form of transport. Note: in both cases the origin of the word is from the First Nations of Canada.

[@Woodswalker1965]

Thanks for the info my friend! Thats interesting for sure. I’ve seen those “toboggan” style hats around here but never knew what they were called! Shout out to our First Nation peoples👍

[@mustang774]

I watched to the end as I always do. 👍 I t is nice when people leave comments. I enjoy the part of to also. That really did look like a relaxing trip. Your burgers looked fantastic and the new fire pit stove looked just dandy. You looked so relaxed, stuffed from supper and just beat out when you were sat by the fire. Too bad the eclipse didn't work out for you. I saw it get totally dark here in Newfoundland but you know as you watched my video. Your breakfast must have been good. The home cured bacon looked delicious. I love an English breakfast but I prefer the white puddings. I've never been hungry enough to eat the blood or black puddings. The name and thought about what is in them is just disturbing 🤢 I could drink tea all day and love the smell of coffee but can't stand the taste so no coffee for me. Anyway, thanks for taking us all along via video......Take care, Bluefin.

[@Woodswalker1965]

Thanks for stopping by buddy. You’re from the east coast of course you drink tea! Pots and pots of it. My Grandmother(PEI) always had a pot of tea on the wood cook stove going. I’m not sure if she ever changed the teabags, she just added more!😀 Great memories!
