Start them in a bit of water (at least enough to cover half way) and simmer until water cooks off. Great video my friend 🤠

[@SpaceduckDK]

If it needs to go quickly, you can start by preheating them in water and then give them a crispy skin on the pan. Otherwise, sausages must be fried over low heat for a long time and turned often. Core temperature above 80 degrees Celsius causes the sausage to crack.

[@nicholasleonardo4788]

Perfect advice. I totally agree

[@JoshuaGammon]

Thanks so much for the tip Herb. I'll have to try this way next time. Most of you are staying the same thing.

[@Novabushcraft]

Low and slow man and just before there done put the heat to the to brown them up

[@barrydano1701]

@@JoshuaGammon if you don't par-boil them in water then split them length wise and fry then. They will cook faster and not be raw in the middle.

Things are all fine and dandy until you have to 1v1 the local skinwalker. Joking aside, thanks for taking me on the adventure with ya!

[@mchristiansen137]

Boil the sausages first to cook them through, then put them on a skewer over the coals, (not the flames), use the same water to make the noodles and get some sausage flavour in them! lol When talking about keeping your feet warm, the bottle is a nifty idea. I carried a pair of socks with warmers, and changed into them at night.They worked pretty good, kept my feet toasty on low.

[@JoshuaGammon]

Great tip for the sausages thanks. I'll have to try that.

[@curtismeinzer3672]

I cover my bratwurst etc in water. Simmer till the water is gone or about gone and they are done. You can fry in the same pan to crisp up the outside. Enjoyed the video. Thank you.

That was a cold week we just got over! Hope that is done for the year.

@@JoshuaGammon amen to that. thanks for taking us out with ya every new video

[@janmcelvain8370]

The best wayto cook the sauasages is to boil them prior to browning them or to simmer in the skillet with water half way up the pan and let the water cook away.

[@dubemccready7438]

hi Joshua - frozen meat - put into pot of water onto flames slowly heat while doing other chores. thaw out slowly - in pan over heat, sliced onions, tomatoes, or whatever you prefer put sausages ontop and cook over moderate heat, do this when I need a quick thaw.

[@sancha5250]

Good morning from Syracuse NY USA brother thank you for sharing your adventures

Thank you for sharing

[@peterkunka2694]

Sausage or bratwurst cooking tip: The day before camping place sausages, sliced yellow onion, and beer in covered sauce pan and let marinade 24 hours in the fridge. Camping day: Drain sauce pan and pack sausages/onions in ziploc bag for travel (keep them cold, obviously). Cooking: Boil sausages/onions in beer and reduce to simmer for 30 minutes. Options: You can serve them now, or if you'd like a light crunch, put them over a fire for a minute or so on each side. Both sausages and brats go good with the onions and yellow mustard on a toasted hot dog bun, or also add sauerkraut for pro level dining in the woods (easy to pack kraut in a sandwich bag and bring along). I'm trying to rearrange my schedule to go camping next weekend... and just might add brats to the dinner menu plan. Good to see you getting out and enjoying snow camping. Cheers! Pete - KI7LIL

[@JoshuaGammon]

Thanks Peter. You have some of the best meals on your trips. If you come to eastern Canada with your camper you'll have to let me know. Maybe show me a thing or two. lol

[@peterkunka2694]

@@JoshuaGammon Thank you. I enjoy cooking rather than eating out in a restaurant. Give me a couple of years to retire, I actually would very much like to RV to eastern Canada (Alaska is on the list, too).

[@kenthesselbein7506]

Cook the sausages in a bit of water until the inside are done, when the water boils away just brown them up!

[@marieancel1877]

Thank you mister Gamon i love the vidéos and the camp

[@JoshuaGammon]

Thanks Marie

[@placidojr.menaje4067]

Most of the comments here are really helpful Josh in cooking sausages. Put the sausages in a pan, pour some water and let it simmer until the water dries up. By this time the sausages are already cooked and you just let the oil in sausages fry them further until golden brown. Then enjoy! Thank you for sharing and interacting with your viewers. God bless you Josh with good health and protection.

[@JoshuaGammon]

Yes sounds like boil first. I never thought of that. Thanks so much Placido and glad you like the video.

[@rosegeaber7533]

I would cut the sausage and cook them higher (elevate pan)over fire so it isn’t too hot too fast. Great video!

[@JoshuaGammon]

Thanks for the tip!

[@belle69mf]

What Herb said. Great video

[@zs4844]

Hi Josh I suggest you cook or grill your sausage when the flames settle , meaning on burning wood without flames and raise your pan a bit, don’t put it directly on flame. Good luck Keep it up Love your videos Zaher from Kuwait

[@JoshuaGammon]

Thanks so much Zaheer 🔥👍

[@Etm2187]

Thaw the sausages out over the fire gently enough to be able to slice them down the middle in half. Then it’s much easier to flip them..one side to the other. Opposed to trying to flip a circle lol

[@fathersonoutdoors7487]

Great video buddy as always take care my friend

[@S3thousand]

When he said "dry the wood ooot" I thought, oh, he's in Canada. 😅 Rush rules!

[@JoshuaGammon]

Nailed it. Lol 🇨🇦

[@hotcakesman]

you could pre bake the sausage and finish it in a pan too

[@michaelschabow2911]

When you start to cook the sausages, add 1/2 inch water to the pan. Keep watching it and adding water when it dries up. Then let then "crisp" at the end.

[@JoshuaGammon]

Thanks so much Michael 👍

[@heathergraham5566]

Cook the sausages in the water you used for the noodles, then brown the sausages while you cook the noodles.

[@ellenariban7061]

Amazing 😻 camping ⛺️ , I love ♥️ this video stress reliever ♥️

[@JoshuaGammon]

Glad you enjoyed it

[@beachlife491]

Good show. ❤❤

[@sammythompson3694]

Slice the sausage either in pieces or slice it in half lengthwise. Next time bring a can of Armor Treet has less salt than Spam dice half in your noodles have the other half for breakfast. In the field before you got to the woods pick some wild onions for a mild flavor.

[@pjbushcraft]

i really enjoyed your video

[@bobcollier4540]

Little bit of water or beer. Eventually it will boil off and allow a finishing sear. A lid helps also.

[@JoshuaGammon]

Like the idea of beer bob. lol thanks

[@brunhel]

Yeah either cook it on a stick, or what I do at home is half an inch of water in your cooking surface to spread out the heat

[@dyaamajed9639]

My friend, I see you in your absence and in your presence. When I remember you, I feel happy and psychologically comfortable because you are the source of my happiness ⚘️❤️

[@JoshuaGammon]

Hey Dyaa glad you like the video and hope all is well with you.

[@agesadventures]

I think you should try roasting the sausages like hotdogs. Great campout and the shelter looks pretty good. I was waiting for you to get smoked out once you lit that fire in there😁

[@JoshuaGammon]

lol. if the wood is dry it's ok but it wasn't. So much rain a few days before.

[@joelpunayvlog5967]

Nice 👍

[@lewisrountreeiii2937]

Now you know your shelter is structurally sound and a good platform to build from. As always, great videos Josh, thank you for sharing them with us.

[@JoshuaGammon]

Thanks Lewis 👍. Can't believe it's was still standing

[@jeffclarkejnr]

I usually cook just on coals not open flame. Failing that, I’d cut em up into bite size pieces and cook em that way.

[@tumorator]

If you have to have it right in the fire like that, put a couple inches of water in there, boil it till they look cooked, take out almost all the water and fry... or if you have a cover then cover it and only put in a cup or so, steam it then uncover and fry. (I do this every morning in my house)

[@JoshuaGammon]

thanks so much @tumorator

[@robertspencer5219]

I'd guess you could also use a grill basket if it was roughly the right size inside of it.

[@dmtnw4480]

Put small amount water in first sausage like low heat and slow, put above small fire or low coals

[@NYFB69]

I watch a guy called Simon a bloke in the woods, he has this small grate three or four by six inches, he cuts a slice in a stick and puts the grate in it and cooks steak and sausage on it a little higher from the fire, for me I get a little char on the sausage then I wrap them in foil and put them up above the fire and it works like an oven and cooks the inside.

[@JoshuaGammon]

Thanks for the tip Martin. I watch him time to time also. Missed that one. I'll have to check it out.

[@jeannies7476]

Start them on a little water as suggested below. Once the water cooks off finish up by browning them over low heat. Don't try to fry them directly over the flames but off to the side over low coals. Good luck.

[@Stoney_AKA_James]

Another good overnighter Josh! Glad to see that your shelter withstood the storm! If the sausage is pre-cooked, just add abit of water to the pan and put the pan ABOVE the fire (low heat), that should reheat it without burning.

[@oneeyedwillie1]

If the sausages are uncooked I prefer to cook them in water first then as the water boils away they brown up.

[@JoshuaGammon]

hey James, ya I was surprised the camp held all that snow. I wasn't expecting that.

[@minnieohlson9752]

Cook over coals ike a hotdog on a stick OR put two pieces of wood aside from fire and push coals between and put your pan on top.

[@craigbeasley8614]

Post that sausage through wit a stick and stand it up next to the fire. Cook then brown it over the flames

[@robertspencer5219]

The stick idea isn't bad for the sausage but just less intense heat. I cook sausage on a medium heat at home

[@lindahentman8359]

I was going to say the same as Herb. Start with water to cover half way, let water boil away and then place on edge of fire and brown. Great video good to see ya.

[@JoshuaGammon]

Thanks Linda. I think that's what i'm going to do next time.

[@aideperez-pena7716]

Truly enjoy your videos. The snow is amazing. Your camp has truly withstood the harsh weather. Stay well 😊

[@Kendallizer100]

[@keith01956]

You should boil your brats for about40-45 minutes until fully cooked & then get a gill to put over your fire and you won't have that problem of burning your pan

[@swghfa1]

boil sausages first, then sear for some color and caramelization

[@antelobubnich8863]

Great video,and good to see u again. Like some of the others mention do them with water and brown them afterwards, #2, if u can put your pan 6 to 8" above the Colts and it should be ok, #3 can also cut it chunks cooked with water when just about done pour a little bit more water and your noodles and I promise you will like it. PS: Any good sausage will complement and enhance the test of any soup or noodles or even potatoes, in other words almost anything. Good luck! ❤

[@JoshuaGammon]

That's a good idea! Thanks so much Antelo

[@antelobubnich8863]

Any time Joshua

[@alvintawney6742]

You could try not holding it on the direct the heat the whole time put it on there for a little while hold it up away from the Heat let it cook set it back down on the heat raise it up off of the direct heat it shouldn't burn

[@markphillips5724]

Pre cook / boil them til Grey.

[@darbarvirendrasih7395]

👍 good

[@JoshuaGammon]

Thank you! Cheers!

[@lindalrb3864]

Take the sausages out of the casings and scramble. But you should have a tiny bit of oil. I don't like the water method because they get chewy.

[@JoshuaGammon]

Thanks Linda. I like this idea for sure.

[@rebeccarothfuss-ym3gs]

The fire is too hot for that thin pan. Cast iron would be better but it's heavy to carry. Cooler fire, long slow cooking. When the water cooks off add a little oil or grease of some kind. Slow cook. Good luck.

Hi Joshua Saw you on Alone. You're welcome. I used to burn any sausage I cooked at home in the kitchen! I finally figured it out. I enjoy your posts. Love this particular shelter in particular.

You always burn it. Aluminum foil? Idk you need to put a permanent roof, door and back wall. Put a chimney in, for the future.

Don't prepare the bratwurst direct over open fire, only place the pan on embers, then the bratwurst will not burn. But don't simmer it in water, you lost the good taste

[@tedcowperthwaite1957]

Brown the sausages then add water and steam them

[@tedcowperthwaite1957]

Also your Pam was too hot, use a couple of logs to bring your pan up by using a grill and set that on the logs then pan on the grill

[@Maritimer]

Ohhhhhh man I wish it didn't take me this long to see this video hahahaha DUDE ! you have a hard time with sausages? but you can cook a great steak.... the sausages are the opposite of steaks, you need to cook them slowly, if you cook them fast the fat will come out and burn like you had in the video, try with a lower heat. I like to use the little folding grill we both have for that so you can move them around easy to get hotter or a cooler spot by the fire. But other than the sausage cooking skills the video was great as always, good to see the shack stood up to the test, and out of all the camps I saw built on YT the only one that might be better than yours was TA outdoors, but that guys like a robot, everything he does is perfect lol Great video as always buddy, I hope everything is good with you and the family, Cheers !

[@JoshuaGammon]

Hey thanks dude. I cook them on the top rack on the BBQ at home and they are great. I guess I wasn't thinking and just put them right in there. I was hoping to show ya up but that didn't happen. LOL. Cheers dude and hope you and the family are well.
