[@parentrescue8982]

you are an answer to my prayer. I wanted to cook real food on our camping trip efforts. So a big thank you!!!!

[@ChefCorso]

welcome aboard!

[@justjonoutdoors]

Columbia River Knife & Tool - they make good stuff.

[@ChefCorso]

there we go, thank you!

[@dontblameme6328]

Yea... You really like backpacking.

[@Erbombla]

I'm a fan of my long bamboo spoon. Great for stirring in a deep canister and doesn't scratch the enamel

[@richbanister]

Thanks for the advice. The cutting board and knives are right up my alley.

[@eric55406]

Looks great; thanks for the inspiration!

[@DangerDad29]

Some one keeps steeling all the forks at work so I use my titanium spork everyday. The folding chef knives are an absolute must for air bnb as I have yet to find a sharp knife for cooking

[@hb4243]

Came here from Backpacker TV just to find the link to that knife :) excited to check out your content :)

[@ChefCorso]

welcome!

[@osceolaseminole5596]

So did I.

[@scottcetnar8043]

Love the video Chef. I too have added the folding knives into my cook kit. I personally use the Senbon meat and Senbon bread knife. Super sharp. I also have in my kit a folding clever by Kitory. That thing is insanely sharp and love that thing. I use it for most of my food prep. I just thought I would concur with the folding knives and share the ones I use. I highly recommend the Kitory folding clever. It is awesome.

Love this! Amazing capture! 🔥🔥👌🥰

What a nice video, my friend! Great backpacking equipment review! Enjoyed watching, very useful info. Cheers from Russia, chef, and welcome to my channel about bushcraft tips and hacks! Kind regards, Yuriy!

[@ChefCorso]

Cheers Yuriy!

Subscribed, please make more camping/cooking/outdoor videos. I have been looking for a chefs perspective on outdoor dining and meal prepping this helps me a lot!!

Welcome aboard! More coming your way

[@karlitozwei]

I Love it!!!! That butane lighter looks awesome and will add that to my gear. Thanks for the top 5 plus bonus.

[@ChefCorso]

happy to help!

[@waappleton]

Have you a link to where the lighter is available?

[@susie9893]

I don't do carbs so most of your recipes aren't for me but I love that you're telling ppl to move AWAY from packaged meals! 👍👍👍 Totally doable to have nutritious meals on the road/trail by using dehydrated veggies and jerky (just watch those additives) Oh, and I'm glad you mentioned a spatula - I RELY on my spatula

[@ChefCorso]

cheers Susie! We have many low to no carb recipes. Give our recipe bank a search! www.montyboca.com/recipes

[@jeremycombsmetalsculptor]

Because of my dietary restrictions and getting back into backpacking adventures I am super stoked to find your channel. Especially since I used the lock down to improve/perfect my culinary skills

[@ChefCorso]

Great to have you along and happy the recipes can help your meal plan!

[@geektarded]

My mom used to keep a bag with a print that looked just like that in her purse to hold her tampons and such.

[@ExpeditionaryJonny]

Oh man! That is some really nice equipment. I've already gotten a decent spork, cutting board & mini-spatula. However, that lighter will be a great upgrade and I'm really going to have to think about those knives. Thanks for sharing!

[@ChefCorso]

lighter is a game changer!

[@IdahoDroneMom]

And my mountaineering class in collage thought I was strange for bringing elk steaks 🥩 and lobster 🦞 on trips…

[@OutdoorsPodcast]

Awesome video chef, really enjoying your videos and thanks for sharing the links.

[@ChefCorso]

cheers!

[@XJarhead360]

Wow, $80 USD for that A.G. Russell knife and $52 for the other one; as for the lighter, you have to buy two (see Amazon link); Titanium spork $22. You're definitely be styling buying and the envy of other backpackers/hikers if you buy all this stuff.

[@ChefCorso]

we all have choices for what equipment we want to bring. Sometimes a few extra dollars can be helpful for longer lasting quality or supporting a smaller producer.

[@515aleon]

Thanks for the butane lighter link. I know it sounds strange but have never been able to work a lighter (on the some strange things I can't do list includes blowing up balloons :D ). I don't backpack, but it would work well for car camping or perhaps day hikes.

[@ChefCorso]

life can be tough sometimes, glad it's helpful!

[@elizabeththompson4424]

I too have been looking at folding chef knives AG Russel is nice if you have the $$$ I got the CJRB Silax fixed blade which is nice it just came out in 2022

[@chefegzyle]

Hey Chef, great video! For keeping your knife sharp, and honed, do you like to sharpen it at camp? (if you do what is the stone(s) that you use.) Or do you just use a triple stone at your home like any good chef. I love my folding cleaver ( I have the Damascus blade Civivi ) and the idea of sharpening it at camp sounds tranquil. I just don't want to pack in my Tristone for it. Your thoughts?

[@ChefCorso]

great Q: This guy found it's way into my stocking last year and it's been really helpful. I tend to keep it at home and sharpen/hone after a trip but it is very portable. Drill Doctor Sharpener. amzn.to/3c0eN9S

[@connormcrae5686]

Thanks so much for this!

[@ktownc936]

I think the spatula is highly underrated. It's a great addition to my backcountry kitchen. I just need to down size.

[@thecorporategypsy]

I am looking for what containers you take along to hold spices, olive oil, milk powder etc etc. have tried several of your recipes, wow what a game changer

[@ChefCorso]

check out our equipment page for some options. montyboca.com/shop/suggested-equipment/ I also repurpose old drink containers with threaded tops.

[@thecorporategypsy]

@@ChefCorso BIG help thank you!

[@SMafam5]

I use regular cosmetic containers from the pharmacy. I have found a rectangular shaped one that has a net pocket in the lid - I put the peeler, can opener (French Nogent), jar opener, etc… when car camping with family. I would see what size Nalgene bottles you carry oils in and then get a container to hold them vertically. GSI has small spice containers for backpacking. I just use small stainless steel containers off of amazon for car camps. Refillable stores carry screw on round aluminum containers - good for jams, etc…

[@jeffmcrobbie5015]

A chef's knife is big $$$ I see a folding Japanese chef's knife much cheaper same weight, stainless steel, what do you think? THANK YOU! I hate FD foods taste small portions and the big $$$, years ago 1 pot meals were good, but you bring it to another level.

[@ChefCorso]

I'm open to checking it out. Have any Japanese brands in mind?

[@jeffmcrobbie5015]

I'm building my kit I'll be using next year, doing a small 50 miler Monadnock/Sunapee trip then the Long trail ( Vermont) all preparing for a AT Thru hike 2024. With my Grandson, adult nice and I. Silicone reusable bags, real food as much as possible. Very little plastic, environmentally, and ecology conscious.

[@ChefCorso]

@@jeffmcrobbie5015 nice. Ill check out those options

[@a.ramosakadrumgrl6677]

I saw your location and I said to myself that it looks like Oceanside/Carlsbad area, I was right!! You definitely do not want that sand in your food!!

[@stephaniegrace8623]

Hello, any thoughts on alcohol stoves, e.g. Trangia?

[@ChefCorso]

I haven't used a Trangia but check out these kzbin.info/www/bejne/eHrUoK2MgJd_Z5Y. Alcohol stoves are ok for certain trips but I would rather have a more consistent heat source.

[@stephaniegrace8623]

I agree about certain trips and find soup is one of the best things to cook on my Trangia. I especially like how quiet it is and how easy to find fuel. The simmer and safety features you address are super helpful. Thanks for your response, it is much appreciated

[@SMafam5]

Trangias seem long lasting, compact, & good in wind but I prefer stainless steel over aluminum for cooking.

[@anthonycampos7417]

Great video! I need to add the mini spatula to my kit. Also just a heads up to anyone looking for a folding mini kitchen knife, I can not reccomend the Tacray folding chefs knife on amazon for about $40 enough. Unlike most folding knives its got a very thin grind so it will slice well and is actually made from a quality steel (in this case VG10) instead of the cheap stuff like 440c

[@ChefCorso]

Hey AC. Thanks for the suggestion. You can not recommend? or not recommend enough?

[@anthonycampos7417]

@@ChefCorso yes, sorry. I was typing on a tablet while cooking. Ill correct that now
