I went to The Cowboy Dinner Tree some twenty years ago. For those that don't know, it is literally a shack out in the middle of nowhere in Central Oregon where they serve up the biggest hunk of steak you've ever seen in your life. Amazing experience!
There is a place down in Central California. Jocko's in Nipomo CA. Similar, no reservations, first come first served. An old adobe building. It used to be a stage coach stop. Bar in the middle and two dining rooms on each side. You look out the back windows and see your steaks being cooked on an open oak fire pit.
It's a very nice place. Steak for breakfast is good. Steak is more delicious when grilled on an iron plate than over an open fire. I also uploaded a video of eating steak at car camp the other day. 素敵な動画ありがとう！
A: Nice Opinel on the taters, B: beauti WC Cross draw knife, C: oh omg that Dinner Tree would be perfect for 2 or 3 and you'd have leftovers for the rest of the week!!!!! #cheers!
Wow you were fast with that video! So fun to watch and re-live the weekend. Glad you enjoyed the homemade bacon and eggs from our chickens! 😃 Thanks for a fun time! Can’t wait for next year!
Jason, I feel like I am there camping with you. You always make people feel like they are there. I can smell the campfire. Lol. Your van has turned out pretty nice. Interested in building one myself.
I haven’t watched your channel in a long time. It’s been crazy at the hospital during the last year. I miss seeing your dogs. How’s the gf doing. You always seem to get the best camping spots. The van is looking great but I hope you get another dog.
My first episode from you video collection was 3 years ago with the Drifter trailer just before Thanksgiving, yall were snow camping. I love the vids but I can't say how much I miss the dogs. I sure miss Daisey. The van 4x4 conversion and the adventures since are wonderful, but that first time was the one for me. Thanks for the memories. JT.
Steak and eggs is always breakfast! I might be biased, though. Here in the Northwest Territories we only really have pine and Spruce to burn. I've starting using bbq charcoal, and it was a game changer! Loving the van. Looking at building something up to explore the NWT and Yukon, and to bug out with during wildfire evacuations. Take care.
Great video! We were thinking that was a quick post! Super impressed with Cory and Julie’s homemade bacon and fresh eggs! They’re settling into farm life well! Someday we will make it out there. The food looks outstanding.
As I sit here within these four walls, microwave burrito in hand, watching you fry up a breakfast worth envy, I hear my grandpa instructing me on making breakfast his way: “Son, cook the bacon for grease for the taters, and your eggs last. If’n none of that beans’ll do.” 😄 Before he settled down he was a hobo. He rode the rails between western Kansas and California, and north to Oregon and Washington, during the Great Depression into the late 1930s. Right now I’d rather your way or his instead of these four walls! Thanks again for another magnificent piece of content. Enjoy!
We are now getting ready to roll into May. Yosemite Ntl Park is going to close down through the month of May into June due to flooding in the valley. The Sierra snow pack right now is 240% above normal for this time of year.
That was a great video that was back to the basics of your channel. The Cowboy Dinner Tree is my kind of place to eat; good down to earth food and people.
Good evening from Cleburne State Park, glad to see the continuation of the yearly get-together. Thanks for bringing us along. Say hi to Megan. Stay safe and happy travels 😎
I love how everyone has a different set up. Variety is nice to see. Always fun seeing how others like to camp. Also, food always tastes better when cooked outside. So good call on utilizing the outdoor stove top. Love the content. It’s a mellow vibe, very enjoyable.
I've heard of wood preferences before but I've been introduced to a "wood snobbery" I didn't know existed. I will make an attempt to notice myself from now on but after a 6 pack of PBR it might be tough.
It's easier to control the heat with a gas stove than it is an open fire. Keep of the great video 's and thanks for the great job you and everyone did on the clean up in the forest 😊😊😊😊
Sure wish I knew about the get-together as I was over at the coast for my birthday which was on Sunday and would have been a better trip all together hanging out with everyone
) I'm down in Utah. Been snowed and rained on. The wind in wells nev nearly blew the roof off of my R Pod, thought I would go south to get away from Ore type weather......silly me! Going to Moab and Zion, then Ariz, over to SoCal to see family then up West Coast. MEGA trip to begin summer. Great videos by you and Casey. Good meeting you again. Had a good time, met many new people....See you in June!
Hi Jason! Love the videos but I am getting a little confused about the 2 channels. I would have expected this video to be over on the van Camping channel. I’m not complaining, just confused. Not a lot seems to have changed on this channel and there’s few posts on the other???
So wonderful to see your adventures. Great to see Megan. The van I’m building is quite similar to hers (E350 extended high top with 7.3). I hope her engine hiccups are all sorted out. Luckily there is a great mechanic here in Vancouver BC who does great work on all things Econoline and especially Powerstroke engines, should you ever be travelling this way. LOLE Offroad is his channel and is highly recommended as a mechanic and great person. Love your videos. Cheers from Vancouver Island.
Tuffport in Ladner installs them. We drive by all the time going to the bird sanctuary. Mine had it installed when I bought it. It is the way to go in my opinion.
I was noticing your knife ( horizontal mount fixed blade). Is it another one by William Collins? What model and where is the best place to order one? Thanks. Love your content!
HI JASON & MEGAN 👋 THE CAMPSITE LOOKS REALLY NICE . USE WHAT'S AROUND YOUR CAMPSITE FOR THE CAMPFIRE , IF YOU KNOW AHEAD OF TIME ON YOUR WAY THERE ALONG THE WAY IF YOU SEE A DOWNED HARD WOOD TREE , CUT IT UP BRING SOME ALONG FOR A COOKING FIRE OR BUY IT, THAN USE THE REST FOR BURNING TO KEEP THE BUGS AWAY & JUST FOR SITTING & TALKING . BREAKFAST LOOKS PRETTY GOOD TOO. IT WAS COOL SEEING HOW THE DIFFERENT TERRAIN COMES TOGETHER. NICE VIDEO OF AREA AROUND THE CAMPSITE 📹 STAR LINK MUST BE PRETTY HANDY ? BE SAFE ! HAVE FUN ! ENJOYED 🍨 🍨 🍨 🍨 🍨 🍨 🍨 🍨 🍨 🍨 GOD BLESS YOU ALL ALWAYS ON YOUR ADVENTURES 🙏 NICE 👀 ING DONALD & EVERYONE HAVING A GOOD TIME . HOPEFULLY THE RAIN 🌧 🙏 WILL HELP THE AREA RE GROW BACK TO WHAT IT WAS OR BETTER . LOVE THE SOUND OF THE WOODPECKER IN THE BACKGROUND . THANK YOU 🙏
Looks like a great time! Did you ever do a video on the roof rack you built over the Tufport roof? I'd love to do something similar to mine. Also, what brand awning is that?
Id recommend toning down your ambient noises some. The pouring of water and grunts and things are too loud compared to the rest of the video. I get ambient noise is nice and calming but I think it can be overblown too. I may be wrong but it feels like you edit those audio sounds to be louder on purpose, but seems to be too loud imo.
NOT MUCH OF A OPTION WITH THIS SET UP WHEN YOUR DEALING WITH THOUSANDS AND THOUSANDS OF MOSQUITOES ASIDE FROM GETTING IN THE VAN OR WEARING THE NET GEAR FROM THEM. ON A WEEK LONG SET UP AT A SPOT TO RESIDE FOR A FEW. OUT OF 1000 BUILDS USUALLY ONLY 200 OF THEM KEEP THAT IN MIND FOR DEALING WITH THE HELL THEY CAN CAUSE ON YOUR CAMP SIGHT IN PLACES LIKE CANADA OR ALASKA IN THE SUMMER

A real slice of heaven..... Good Friends and a great location.
That was pretty cool. That awning is sick!
Loved the part about the old cat! 😂❤

Always a pleasure watching your videos 👍👍

Really cool ! Love the steakhouse cat ! Looks like you guys had a great time.
You and your wife are amazing people!
It's great to see you back in the outdoors shooting more van camping videos! Excited to see the videos when the weather get better!
Going to the Cowboy Dinner Tree has been on my definitely-to-do list for several years now. This summer FOR SURE! Thanks for taking us along with you.
Jason, I feel like I am there camping with you. You always make people feel like they are there. I can smell the campfire. Lol. Your van has turned out pretty nice. Interested in building one myself.
Love your videos. Love your photography. Love your community. Hello from BC, Canada.👋

Watched 3 days in a row! Great video
Oh man that place looks awesome. Looks like an awesome time.
Great job on this video. Thanks for sharing.
Cool on your explanation on not cooking over your open fire!
Another great and relaxing “adventure”! Always a treat!
looks so relaxing
I've heard of the dinner tree. Nothing but fantastic reviews. I need to make it there. Thanks for sharing.
😅
Cory's kitty friend!! 👍🇨🇦😎🔥🌲
Hey brother awesome video. I've got to tell you, your a great story teller. You really make the videos very enjoyable
sounds like an awesome time. may look into it next year.
Reminds me of Phantom Ranch. A gourmet restaurant tucked away at the bottom of the Grand Canyon right along the rim-to-rim trail.
Love this content. I wanna move there to go camping with you guys. Thanks for sharing.
The Dinner Tree looks amazing. Thanks for taking us along.

I love your rig it's huge inspiration for mine
Jason, the van turned out awesome!
Man I could almost smell that bacon and eggs...Great camp trip with dinner highlight ...
Great campfire with friends...
From the angle that you took of the rock it looked to me to be a abstract brown bear. Brown Bear Rock 🐻
Steak and eggs is always breakfast! I might be biased, though.

*Good camp, good company, and good food, looks like the perfect outing.
Beautiful central Oregon ❤
Great video! We were thinking that was a quick post! Super impressed with Cory and Julie’s homemade bacon and fresh eggs! They’re settling into farm life well! Someday we will make it out there. The food looks outstanding.
I love that place. Need to get out there this year.
Looks like a nice camp spot.
Man, lots of good food!
Jason you can't go wrong cooking steak in the woods. Great trip.
Hey Jason...we just went full-time and moved out of our apt and into our camper! Not van-life but Kimboliving!
I have got to make it to the Cowboy dinner tree!!
Excellent 👌
Nice to see "your flock" come together!
Hope y'all had a great time as always.
God Bless and keep making videos for us
I prefer the old stuff with just him and those awesome dogs.

I’ve always wanted to ask you, what do you do to protect yourself from bears? Ever run into one? I’d love to hear about your advice in a video 👍🏻
太棒了👏
Don't forget to bring ur chickens on these adventures.
Good video Jason always like watching your videos
Such a wonderful time spent outdoors.
Thanks for sharing.

Hey Jason how you doing wanted to mention the awning really gives a nice touch to sasquash like the way it un Foles. Enjoy your weekend be safe🙏🙏👍

what about a dutch oven for cooking your food in the camp fire?
nice cat!
At 17 minutes, you said “It’s raining “. But what’s uncanny is that it started raining here too! Just ironic. My son got a kick out it.
Keep it real my brother… stay outdoors no drama.
Cory’s cat🥰
Hi Jason! Love the videos but I am getting a little confused about the 2 channels. I would have expected this video to be over on the van Camping channel. I’m not complaining, just confused. Not a lot seems to have changed on this channel and there’s few posts on the other???
Where is the cowboy dinner at exactly? I’m so going there camping outdoors plus a fatty steak I’m so there!!
Really like your checker plaid shirt you wear a lot. Who makes this and where could I find one?
So wonderful to see your adventures. Great to see Megan. The van I’m building is quite similar to hers (E350 extended high top with 7.3). I hope her engine hiccups are all sorted out. Luckily there is a great mechanic here in Vancouver BC who does great work on all things Econoline and especially Powerstroke engines, should you ever be travelling this way. LOLE Offroad is his channel and is highly recommended as a mechanic and great person.

I'm building out an E350 (7.3l) across the pond in Victoria. Considering extended high top options.
Tuffport in Ladner installs them. We drive by all the time going to the bird sanctuary. Mine had it installed when I bought it. It is the way to go in my opinion.
Nice video.
What are those front lace knee boots? Wife saw them and had been wanting like that for when it's weather is inclinate.
Hay .where did you get that roof rack for the hightop ?
Jason has his big wood out again!
Surprised that you don’t have a fridge/freezer
I was noticing your knife ( horizontal mount fixed blade). Is it another one by William Collins? What model and where is the best place to order one? Thanks. Love your content!
Hello Jason
How’s the new high top mod treating you so far?!? Another great video! Thanks man
By chance what axe do you use I need a good one for camping and not sure what would work best
Yum
What up Jason!
Hey Jason what boots are you wearing when you are gathering wood?
Jason what kinda boots are those?
That looks like so much fun and such a beautiful area
What brand is your awning? Thanks

How do you go about planning a trip? Is there some kinda map or app type of thing? Thanks
Looks like a great time! Did you ever do a video on the roof rack you built over the Tufport roof? I'd love to do something similar to mine. Also, what brand awning is that?
Did you have any leftover steak? That was a chunk of meat.
Hell ya. 👍🫡
