[@kimgeheb6518]

Pro tip, cook items that take the longest first that way eggs aren't cold when ready to eat. Eggs cook really fast!

[@cubgsan]

Good day to you. I am a senior rider on HONDA from Japan. Enjoying touring ,camping and video uploading. This is so nice camping video Awesome!! Thank you so much for sharing! Full supported ! Have a nice day my friend!!

[@howardstang1918]

Ketchup and eggs, totally underrated thing of all time.

[@CanasWorld]

those aren't just camping meal but just awesome meals.... i noticed that the cast iron is so important

[@TiaandAndy]

cast iron is fantastic for camping. you can do so much with it! if you have a cast iron pan, you can put the pan on, put hot ambers on it, and turn it into an oven. so useful!

[@majormalachi1901]

A tip: you can watch movies at instaflixxer. Been using it for watching a lot of movies lately.

Oh my gosh... I was searching for an easy delicious camping meal idea and I found your video! 😋 I just made your steak burrito and I'm sharing it with my audience in my video that will be published tomorrow. I gave you a special shoutout so I hope people come to watch your full video because your other meal ideas look scrumptious too! Thanks for helping a girl out who needed meal ideas!!!

[@alfalfa6481]

LOVE this video!! Please make a compilation of your meals that you cook. I like how you guys advise to prepare your food ahead of time.. huge camping hack..

[@TiaandAndy]

Hey Richard, I think we can try to do that! at the very least, we'll throw it all into a playlist!

[@cheriross5063]

Great idea with the potatoes! That would be perfect for making potatoe salad too.

[@chancekealii3308]

The burrito is a good idea! Never crossed my mind

[@TheMamuchos]

Yes to the burger and the camping flavor in it! We 100% agree on your number 1!! Oh wow never made souvlaki while our RV life The potato trick on the coals is priceless for us when living in our RV, We would save propane and still have delicious potatoes. Coffee can not be missing from the list!! Oh Coffee 😍😍😍 Great breakfast there guys

[@TiaandAndy]

thanks guys! those are exactly our thoughts! we love waking up to zero effort baked potatoes.

[@josemartinezz9152]

@@TiaandAndy doesn’t andy have is own channel? Because i could swear i seen him in other videos of hunting

[@Gwadabean]

@@TiaandAndy You put the potatoes in foil ON the coals at night? Or you dig them under the ground before you start your fire the night before?

[@KardosoMedia]

Awesome guys!! We actually got a season camp site this year since we can’t travel right now. It’s a change of pace for us but have been enjoying it. Great video! Got some ideas for some new meals to try out. Thanks and be well

[@TiaandAndy]

That is awesome! we wish we can book a season. although i think if we had a whole summer to camp, we might want to experience different camp sites. let us know how your meals turn out!

[@OurTravelPlace]

I like that you put a good amount of pickles on your burger 😄 I want that burritos anyway, camping or not! Some great meal suggestions here

[@TiaandAndy]

That's the only way to do a burger! And omg. That burrito is to die for. We ate it for about 2 weeks straight every meal... Then for another week after that but only at lunch. Hahaha

[@TravelwithSuri]

Glad to connect with you guys! More camping opportunities in 2020 - that’s how you change the negative to positive 😊👍 Burger is number 1 and grilled chicken/fish is the second choice! Happy camping..)

hey! that's on our top 3 list too. Fish and Chips while camping is amazing.

[@JasonFerguson1283]

Oh Yeah!! Great ideas!! Thank you!

That breakfast hash is the truth! I’m trying that tomorrow. Love the idea to hurry the potatoes

[@irishwanderer_]

That's a great idea to prep before you go camping. Might be camping this weekend weather permitting!

[@TiaandAndy]

Oh yeah. prepping at home is so much easier than when you're at the camp site. plus, you just want to enjoy! Let us know how your camping trip goes.. if it happens!

[@PogiboyProductions]

Mmm good recipe guys! I'm liking the burger and souvlaki.. easy peasy!

[@TiaandAndy]

Thanks Pogiboy! yeah,.. we choose the easiest and tastiest dishes to cook.

[@traceyoliver409]

Some great ideas and it all looks yummy. Might be better to cook bacon first and cove with foil to keep warn, then fry spuds in the oil from the bacon. Last do the eggs as they go cold really quick.

[@blackwhite9177]

You guys definitely know how to cook, all of them look yummy 🤤

[@TheCityandBeyond]

We don't do camping... haven't done it together before, and these meals seem so good. The breakfast hash especially. There is no starving while camping on your trips.

No Problem! cast iron stuff is the best when you need to put it over direct flame like that!

[@pcox5386]

Say What!!!! You can bake your potatoes in the coals overnight!! Brilliant! Looked like you double wrapped in foil. Did you? Thanks for the pro tip! By the way, what type of steak do you recommend for the steak burritos. (My steak tends to be tough.)

[@markcromwell1975]

Great meals! And a great video😁 I go carp fishing overnight and will try these. The breakfast hash looks amazing👌

[@TiaandAndy]

ooh! i don't think it's shown here, but we some times dig a hole in the ground, put potatoes (wrapped in foil), cover with a thin layer of dirt, and put ambers on top. this VERY slowly cooks the potatoes until it's 100% perfect. I'll take like... 7 hours to cook but it's perfect if you're lounging by the fire all day and just want dinner to be ready to go. This works great with yams too! be very careful with this method though. make sure you're taking all the fire safety precautions (have a fire ring, watch the fire etc).

[@markcromwell1975]

@@TiaandAndy carp fishing is big in Europe. Its not much done in the US. I'm in England. Thank you for the advice its much appreciated. And of course I'll make sure its very safe

[@flaviustiberiu442]

pretty epic ngl

[@TiaandAndy]

Thanks!

[@taylorporter384]

Oh that chicken YUMMM. When you say prepare in advance, how do you pack that for the trip? Are you freezing those chicken pieces again after prep, or leaving them cold in the cooler?

[@TiaandAndy]

Both ways are good options :) We usually prep the day before we leave so we just put them in the fridge and then into the cooler with ice. If you know you wont be eating the chicken until further into your camping trip though, then throwing it into the freezer prior to leaving is a good option too, that way it holds (and also acts as an ice pack until it defrosts!)

[@johncopeland2461]

Nice video on food suggestions. May I ask, what brand of cook stove are you using and how much butane do you use in 2 days? I'm looking at purchasing one soon. Thank you.

[@TiaandAndy]

Hey John, the brand of cook stove we use is called Etekcity. I've included amazon affiliate links down below for quick reference. Note, if you do decide to purchase using our link, we'll get a small commission at no cost to yourself. The amount of butane used is a bit of a loaded question. Usually, you measure this by "boils". for us, a full big green butane tank will last us 35 boils for 500mL of water. For quick reference, on the smallest (230g) canister should be able to get you through approximate 4 days of travel at 2 boils a day (500mL of water per boil). Hope that helps! 🇺🇸US ➡️: amzn.to/2DIdgXz 🇨🇦CA ➡️: amzn.to/2B17I9E

[@nancyjohnston5824]

Quick question. For. The potatoes, are you putting the fire out while you sleep? Most campgrounds make you extinguish the fire if you are not actively monitoring it.

[@TiaandAndy]

We dump water until all ambers are out. However, the area around is still quite warm and will slowly "steam" the tatters.

[@Livingtheglobe]

Great Vid! Pro tip guys cook your bacon 1st so your eggs don't get cold. :)

[@TiaandAndy]

Ah yes. This is a very popular suggestions. However, we're not that big of a fan!

[@brendal6936]

Your thumbnail shows toast, but there’s no toast in your recipes. What’s up with that? I only decided to watch because I was curious how you made toast at camp.

It was nothing special, we just toast it in our pan. But great point, we'll make sure to include it in our next camping meals video!

[@jasoncampbell6536]

Just my recommendation, cook the bacon first, then the taters in the bacon grease, and the eggs last. I think you will have a better eating experience.

[@TiaandAndy]

This is probably the #1 recommendation we have! But we’re weirdos who don’t like the bacon grease in our food. Lol

[@carblessliving5136]

We break all our eggs and put them into a Tupperware

[@jay2wavy988]

How do i keep my food fresh ice wont be enough.😖

[@TiaandAndy]

For the meals you will eat later into your camping trip, you can freeze them. That way they stay fresh and can also double to keep your non frozen food cold. Then as it defrosts you can cook it. You could also consider choosing recipes or food options that are non perishable (things like pasta, rice, beans, etc.).
