- This meal is a staple of all my trips. Every time it turns out awesome. @MaddyTheGoose thanks for the inspiration for this reciepie. I have taken it every trip since seeing your video. It is super consistent, filling, and tastes awesome out in the woods #dehydratedfood #dehydrate #dehydrated #backpackingfood #backcountry #campfood #canoecamping #lake #tobeatic #tobeaticwilderness #tobeaticwildernessarea #keji #campingfood #outdoors #wildernesscooking #backpaking #portage #wildernesscamping #wilderness #dehydratedmeals #backcountrycuisine #shepherdspie #cottagepie
When using gravy mixes I like to mix them with cold water first. A little water at a time make a thick paste and slowly thin it out. I find this prevents the lumps.
Good suggestion! - Ed
Looked great
Thanks! It was great, and always seems to turn out great! Thanks for watching!
That gravy would come out a lot better if you heater water up to finger hot, then dropped in the butter and powder, mixed the two together until the butter was melted and there was no powder left, then brought it all to a boil while stirring until as thick as you wanted it.
Interesting tip! I may try that next time to help keep from clumping up. The gravy does turn out fantastic, but sometimes it can have some thick, salty sections from the little clumps, but they taste good too! Thanks for watching and commenting!
My only question is why didn't you dump the gravy mix in with the meat/veg, then top with the potatoes? I make a version of this in my Trangia. I, too, dehydrate all my own stuff including ready-made meals, and also like to build my own MREs out of them
To me, the presentation would be wrong and it would be hard for me to get the consistency that I want. Thanks for watching and commenting!
@@thewildernesswanderer140 fair enough. You gained a new sub, so I'll be watching your other cook videos and be looking forward to new ones!
Fantastic. Glad to have you. I was thinking about my meals for thr next trip yesterday
Looked delicious
It was! And is lol. I take it every trip.
Looks like a great easy meal, I wonder if I could add a few dehydrated onions, or would that be crazy?
You could add whatever you like to it. I often add onions to various meals as I pove the flavor
Shepherd's pie, cottage pie who really cares what you want to call it.
It's just the people that want to know what's in it, nbd
It's the technical things that get me all the time @@alpastor666
@@alpastor666 Well, he mentioned beef, so it's cottage pie.
That looks really good but I hate doing dishes when camping so I make everything the Freezer Bag Way. The bag from the 1st meal of the day turns into garbage bag for all the others. No pot to clean and licking the spoon cleans it. For freezer dried ( dehydrated ) items all the vegetables I get from Harmony House Foods. For fat it is ghee ( Clarified Butter ) which does not spoil since the milk impurities have been removed. Meats are dried here at the house. Each bag is marked with the necessary amount of water and it is brought to a almost boil before adding it to the meal.
I have seen that method a few times. I have tried it a couple of times, but it hasn't turned out well, and you can taste the plastic bag in my opinion. Dishes can be a pain, but my meals are so good and so filling, you look forward to supper time all day when you are out in the woods.. But they do require a lot of dishes... I would love to for you to share some of your recepies @Oldsparkey!
don't forget the pine needles!
Always. Thankfully they are available in abundance!
Do you remember what brand name of your burner is?
Yes I do! Rivertrail, which was a home brand sold by Home Hardware here in Canada years ago. It has been a great stove. I have been using this one since about 2010, and I used another identical one for my trips from 2004 until then. It got lost in a move, but I had a backup one. It has cooked a lot of meals and boiled a lot of water. Thanks for watching and commenting! - Ed
Thanks,I’ll see if I can locate 1 looks heavy duty compared to the back packer type
Too much work.
Domino's delivers!😁👍
Lol! That's funny! Where I am there is no phone service for usually 2-3 days travel. I expect delivery pizza would be heavenly in the woods. Thanks for watching and commenting!
I couldn't find pine needles can I use twigs instead?
Anything extra to make it good!
I've watched all of his cooking videos, however he hasn't posted any new videos in years.
I went looking a week ago or so, and he has been largly inactive for many years. A shame as I really enjoyed his early content
When you use beef it's actually a cottage pie not a Shepard's pie , a traditional Shepard's pie is made with lambs mince
Yes, I mention that in the video and in various other replies to comments here. Everyone here calls this "Shepherd's Pie", and basically very few people have ever even heard of cottage pie. Thanks for the comment!
MaddyTheGoose his name is Troy i enjoyed watching his videos for years ' unfortunately for the last several years he hasn't been doing TH-cam content .
Ya I went looking since posting this video and his last video was 2 years ago, but most of his content is much older. He has some really good stuff!
U got a predator lurking in the trees
A predator? Do tell!
That's cottage pie
Correct, which is what I said in the packaging section of the video for those who want to be accurate on their terminology. Around here it is called Shepherd's Pie. I am sure you could make it with lamb. Thanks for commenting!
*cottage pie
Yeah I know I know. Substitute in some ground lamb for the ground beef and you'll be all set. Everyone where I live calls this shepherd's pie but I know technically it isn't
