- There's nothing better than being outdoors by a warm campfire and cooking up a tasty meal. In addition to a campfire, we fire up the camp chef and the rocket stove and share a few simple camping meals all cooked in our favorite cookware, cast iron.
We appreciate you tagging along for our Alaskan adventure 😀

Campfire Dutch oven homemade bread!
Pancakes
Hash!!!
For new viewers the best part is that there is no clickbait no annoying ads no obnoxious music or sponsorships for stupid subscription box services
Absolutely agree...clickbait isn't necessary.
I’ve unsubscribed to so many channels for those reasons
If I wanted to watch commercials I’d still have cable
I didn’t realize that! But you’re right! I get so involved in their adventures that I forget about that! No wonder I never switch to another video when I’m watching them!
I don’t have any luxuries in my life. But I pay for no ads worth 12.99.
I use Ublock and haven't seen an ad in like forever.
i swear the two of you should have your own cooking show on food network.
I agree they have such awesome meals 👍🤑
youtube is better then tv food network
@@TyFred2 👍
They have one right here...
But theyre so good at eyeballing everything. I can never do that properly
Muffins baked inside orange peels! You cut oranges in half and eat all the pulp. Mix up some muffin mix and pour into the rind cups. Put the halfs back together and wrap in foil. You can put these directly in the coals of your fire. The rind prevents them from burning and gives a lovely orange flavor.
I have done this, so good!
Cheesy Dutch oven potatoes. With a touch of Jalapenos.
I love you all!! ❤️
Should use chocolate chip muffin mix - orange chocolate chip muffins!
Yum ! Goin try that !
My favorite camping meal since I was 12 is what we called a "Foil Dinner". It's chopped potatoes, carrots, onion, and chunks of raw hamburger tossed together. Put all of this on some heavy duty foil. Top with salt and pepper and a couple tablespoons of butter. Wrap it up and cook over a hot camp fire. Especially good when the hamburger starts to get crispy.
Everything you guys cook looks delicious. Amazing how creative you are in planning your meals.
Yum! Mine too! The foil dinners were a favorite at boy scout camp when my kids were little. ☺️👌
We call it pasty!
My gma used to make these and she called them hobo dinners
@@tamidavidson6412 we called hobos also. Yum
That sounds amazing!
I never get bored of watching you guys .
Never..... there is a level of authenticity that they have. I love that they don't over share and know their audience.
More realistic and orderly. Not like some vlog oversell, over kill, overdoing and over exposé. Also children and family below 12 ratings friendly.
Me either...I'm a relatively new sub , so I'm still watching the older ones...love these two.
@@bittybitty8233 keep watching them . They are natural and real . Great channel
@@ArizonaKid oh , I will....😉 my 1st one was the pickled eggs cause I love em & that got me hooked.
Haven't even started watching and I wanted you to know that Eric motivated me to get my cast iron out and give it a try AGAIN. I wasn't cooking with them correctly. THANK YOU! I'm 67... never to old to learn new tricks. 😊 (adore the two of you)
The nice part about camp food is, it always tastes good when you're hungry.
Hunger is the best sauce....
Woo!!! frontier foodie episode.. ✨💕
Ya’ll didn’t come to play!!! Ya’ll serveddd ✨👏🏼 omggg the Phillies looks amazing!!!!!
I like to cook my flour with the sausage for about 2 minutes to cook out the flour taste. Awesome job you two!
Yes...cook the flour with the meat BEFORE adding the milk. It will take that pastey floury taste away. And If you are trying to stretch your milk...add half water and half milk. (Also just a helpful tip from my sweet Aunt-who taught me this...always add whatever liquid cold to your cooked flour mixture. By adding it cold it helps prevent the gravy from being lumpy. It works like a charm for me.
I like the videos where you banter back and forth more instead of just talking to the camera. You guys do a great job and are truly an inspiration!
Hi Eric & Arielle
So when are you coming out with your (Simple Living Cook Book ) put me down for one
love your channel Thanks you
👍🤑
The Alaskan steak sandwich looks to die for!
You guys need to write a cookbook. Your food are easy to make, fast and delicious everytime. Always enjoy watching your adventures. Blessings.
Totally agree!
Watching Eric make kindling with his pocket knife, only reminds me of my seriously underwhelming wilderness skills. I am always SO impressed with how Eric and Arielle live. I hope they know how much of an inspiration they are, for beginners like myself!
Love the four legged supervisor's who want to make sure you cook well...also if there are any leftovers :)
Ok Philly was my home for almost 30 years and your rendition of a Philly cheesesteak will pass the test👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
Same. I'd mash that steak sandwich.
Pat's or Jim's? @Millie Mill ?
South philly checking in .love you guys
@@pinschrunner EWWWW neither Max’s hands down . And Blair’s when they were open ..
I'm in MD and always get philly cheese steak whenever I go to Philly. You did a good job.
Favorite campfire meal? One I don't have to cook!!! As a kid, it was rainbow trout cooked 20 feet away from where it was caught... with sourdough pancakes. Fifty years later and I can still remember how it tasted. Yum.
I think we should start a 25 cent jar for every time you say “ this is my favorite meal” 🤣
I might add not picky eaters
they are Really down to earth with what they’re doing just to make everything look so good
It's true . Any meal prepared outdoors is always a favorite food. LOL Can't help but say it.
😂😂😂love it.
Send the quarters to them and they would be rich!!! Lol
I love how your whole family came out to be with you. 🐶🐱
Ok when you guys talk while you’re eating it’s the cutest most endearing thing. Makes me hungry too.
One of my favorite deserts in a dutch oven is a Root beer banana cake. Slice bananas in the bottom of the dutch. poor in 16 ounces of root beer and then put in the yellow cake mix (dry) cover and cook till done. Give it a try I know you will love it...
Oh, I am going to have to try that. I make dump cakes all the time, but never tried one like that!
I'll have to think about my favorite camping meal but I always loved making camp fire pies! we always had peach, apple and blueberry! cook em in the pie iron and then coat then in sugar afterwards ---those combined with camp stories with a bunch of friends around the campfire I still remember well 40+ years later!
My favorite campfire meal is Sheephearder Stew. Salt pork skinned & cubed, sliced potato, onion, pepper, and a little water. Cook in Dutch Oven til potatoes are tender. Learned this recipe from my dad 45 yrs ago. My husband's favorite dinner.
If you have problems with dutch oven baked goods burning on the bottom you might want to try baking on a round cake pan that fits inside the dutch oven and place the interior pan on top of a metal trivet. This could potentially also allow you to bake over a hotter fire without blackening biscuit bottoms.
Or you can slice some potatoes and put them in the bottom of the Dutch oven in your biscuits on top of the potatoes
It's my life goal to have every meal I make my favorite meal ever. I accomplish it most days. ☺️ That steak sandwich looked SO GOOD!
You rock, Hannah....
You guys are my favorite couple on the TH-cam's!!! Love your content. The photography is always breath taking
I like it when it's time 2 eat, Ariel does not waste no time, eating and fishing, I love this channel
So nice to see you eating so very well . Your cooking skills on a wood fire are pretty top notch. You have an energy that is great to watch in everything you guys take on.
I love when you guys cook outside! So entertaining.
Thanks for continuing to share your lives with us. Looking forward to seeing the progress on your other property got cleared the driveway for this spring/summer!
So happy to see a new video from my favorite couple. Everything looked delicious. Thank you. Stay safe and well.
These videos help keep the dream alive. I love how simple the recipes are
I usually relate to Ariel more than I do Eric....... However, when he said, “I could eat mushrooms, with every meal.” It was like he was speaking to my soul! My son & I LOVE mushrooms! And, I put them in everything!
Mushrooms are disgusting
Thanks for another great video guys. When you were baking the cake, that backdrop of the sun hitting the trees was amazing!
You both made me hungry. You show us that your simple life with hard daily works makes you so happy.
Ariel and Eric This Video was Brilliant. Everything I adore. 1. Both of you

Sending my kindest thoughts to you both from Victoria Australia 🥩🥯🍔🥘🍳☕🐕🐕🐈♥️
Cooking and eating outside is always so great👍❤ Seems that everything always tastes so much better out in the fresh air.
Yes. When I was about 5 years old I didn't like eggs until we went camping. They were so delicious!
Watching you two review your recipes together brings me pure enjoyment, I love that you change up the spots you set up your outdoor kitchen in, the woodshed kitchen is my favorite 🤩
When we would camp we always made “Hobo Pies” which was a huge beef burger and tons of veggies - carrots, potatoes, onions and anything else you wanted in a heavy foil pouch cooked on coals. I make them now in the oven and we also love to add Brussels sprouts to ours as well. The more veg the better. Season every level and add a couple ice cubes to steam it all.
Hello from KY ❤️ love you and your channel.I love watching you guys cook and everything else.I am subscribed.I love your everyday adventures.I worry about your safety.I am amazed watching .You two are definitely made for this.If you crave something sweet what happens? The dogs took to this life style quickly.I am a 68 year old living through the two of you.I was always adventurous too.love you stay safe.🙏🙏❤️❤️❤️❤️
We have been camping 40 yrs now and we have tried many meals but I think our favorite is the Hobo dinner. You lay strips of bacon down on foil make ground beef patties with bell pepper, onion, salt, pepper, egg and cheese. Lay on top of bacon then add potatoes, and carrots. Add more bacon on top. Cook on top of coals about 25 mins.
Best dessert.....chocolate taco
Take tortilla shell, spread peanut butter on it thinly, add mini marshmallows, and chocolate pieces on top. Shape like taco wrap in aluminum foil and lay on heat to cook...tortilla will brown and inside is gooey and delicious. We have also added slices of banana. Yummy!
Great video loved your different ways of cooking
We call those foil dinners and they are indeed delicious! I actually learned to make them in Girl Scouts so very many years ago🤣 Haven’t tried the chocolate taco but summer is coming and I see it on the menu😉
I'm All about hobo dinners. I will have to try the dessert though
It’s never a boring food video... why can’t they all be this satisfying to watch?
One of life's simple pleasures: Cooking in the yard. Thank you for reminding me, and for sharing this video.
My fave camping meal is whatever anyone else is cooking!!😋
My favorite camp fire meal would be whatever you were cooking!
I love watching your videos. I would never think to bake a cake over a campfire, yours looked delicious
Nothing better than biscuits and gravy. My favorite!
Oh boy! The way your eyes lit up Ariel eating the cheese steak was priceless!
You're so lucky to have a husband that can cook...and good at it!
I was thinking the same thing!! 😆
A cookbook by them is an excellent idea!
Sometimes you two just make me soooo jealous! After a year of Covid lockdowns and closures, I have never eaten so many restaurant deliveries in my life. These 'Cheese steaks' make me crave REAL outdoor, straight off the campfire cooking. I'm sure the rolls were a huge part of the success of the meal. Just to let you know, rolls like that sell for $7.00 a roll at an Inglewood Bakery in Calgary, AB, Canada. Just saying. You two live like Kings, and I think you're the richest couple I've ever seen on TH-cam. You two always pick up my day and make me feel good. Can't wait to see your adventures with all three properties this summer.
Mmmm outdoor home cooking. Can’t beat that, all that fresh air helps too.
Well my mouth is watering. Thanks for sharing! Love how they were all camp themed.
Can’t get enough of your cat!
It reminds me of my salty panther
I love how sharp your knives are. Makes everything easier
This is the good vibes channel. You are just yourselves and i keep coming back to see how you are doing and to learn from you.
My favorite camping meal is apple pie pockets... baked in the fire! Super easy and delicious.
Do you buy them or premake?
We premake the dough and we slice up apples nice and thin and add butter, cinnamon and brown sugar. Then using our hands we make a disc of dough, add filling and pinch it shut in a semi circle, cover in oiled tin foil and cook for 20-30 min depending on how done you want the crust. It is SO good.
"The way we live now is one big camping trip." 😍😍😍
It is a joy to live vicariously through you and your daily adventures.
My favorite campfire meal has gotta be beer pancakes. THANK YOU!!!
All I know is I never had camp-made cake for dessert. You two eat really well out in the wild.
Another great upload.
Your cooking videos are by far the best on TH-cam. You two are amazing. Hugs❤️
I love y’all, especially the sweet dogs. Camping is on my bucket list, but I’m getting old now so I’ll watch y’all’s adventures and be happy!!
I'm 68yrs old, had 2 heartattacks and more surgeries than I want to talk about but I still make out, camping, to clear the mind and be one with nature.... Granted, I don't walk and hike like I used to but I still get out there....
Always an enjoyable watch
I like the bit where you were cooking and eating.
I'm 55yrs old. Since I was 3yrs old, my parents have taken us camping our whole lives. The #1 favorite dinner for everyone is....Hobbos!!! U take double layer foil put ur choice of meat...we usually just did hamburger, a large pat of butter then load on the fresh veggies, we did potatoes, corn, mushrooms, green beans, then use a 1/2 a can of cream of mushroom soup. Wrap up the foil and throw into the hot coals!! Absolutely delicious!!!! Would love 2 see you guys make that!!!
One of the main meals we always had when camping was foil packets. Potatoes on the bottom, meat(pork chop or steak or sausage), red onions sliced, sometimes mushrooms, butter pats over the whole thing. Wrap up the foil and put the packet on the edge of the fire. You could smell when it was done. I am hungry just thinking about it.
Something to try is steamed biscuits. I do this at home, but you can adapt it for campfire cooking. Make your gravy a little loose and put the biscuit dough on top of the gravy. Put the lid on the Dutch oven and put on low heat. On my stove it takes about 30 minutes to steam the biscuits. They are so good, soft and some of the gravy has soaked into the bottom of the biscuits already. And yes, mushrooms in the gravy makes it even better!
yes ! a good one for me. I will try an version for canoe expedition. thanks
you guys live the perfect life!
Your video's are your cookbook! You two could make anyone hungry by watching one. Eric is a good cook!
I always go threw my utub and see if you two have posted, every morning I do. Im 57 and lost my husband, so I think its to late in life to start a life like you have. But so much love your channel. I really would buy a cook book from you both if you had one, from gardening up to the stove. You two are so blessed. But it comes with hard work, like you both do. I just love your new cabin. And so much looking forward to my first session with you two. And thank you for answering my question about your washer. I know have one coming..
I've made pineapple upside-down cake in my dutch oven while camping as well as fall off the bone bbq ribs. Yes, they both take quite a while to cook but doing the cook-in-a-hole method with the dutch oven is a great way to get all around heat for slow cooking/baking. That food looked _incredible_ !
Hi! WOW! That steak and cheese sandwich looked incredibly delicious! And of course Ariel's sourdough rolls! Everytime I see her breads or rolls I'm so wanting to have some! Unfortunately I'm gluten free! 😢 Can't wait for garden season! Love you guys! God bless and stay safe! From us here in Ontario.
Just 2 big kids living your best life, and we love it! Real jealous....
Oh wow, my mouth is watering... I never would have imagined camping meals could be so much more than pre-packaged stuff! Thanks for sharing!
Thank you for keeping me company 🥰🇨🇦🥰
Love from Huntington bc
Yay! Can't camp right now but my neighbors will enjoy calling me strange (again) when I cook your recipes outside! 💕 Love you guys!!! ☮️ Peace and love from Kimberly in South Dakota 💙❤️
OMG! I'm leaving vicariously through every bite!! You guys deserve a Michelin Star! Cheers from Argentina. Fede
Guys! you should do a collab with someone like @clairesaffitz and Alaskanaize one of her desserts!! I'm sure she will be up for it!
I love this, it's like living in Northern Canada... Nothing like cooking in the snow in the bush...
Ah, Kitty, Bo and Bandit waiting patiently for a biscuit, (me to). I love biscuits and gravy but Eric elevated it to the max, Lions Head mushrooms and moose meat. Arielle did I hear you say you ate three biscuits? It's good you both work so hard, with wonderful meals like that !
I’m like how do they not weight 400 pounds? Then I remember ALL the physical labor you put into your homestead!
I grew up in a camping family and I learned to love making breakfast. For Dutch oven baking using a few rocks helped elevate a baking or cake tin so bottom didn’t have direct heat, then coals on the lid for the oven effect. We made some yummy food that way. My son did a lot of cooking in the Scouts and he loved tin foil packs. Your favorite meat with veggies and seasonings wrapped in foil.
I agree, camping seemed to be about exploring and cooking. Great family memories.
Your sit down to enjoy the meal is the best.
Thanks so much for sharing and I totally enjoy today's video, everything looked delicious 😋
This is what I like to eat 2 meals a day then for supper when the sun is gone STEAK ON A STICK!!!
We love, love your channel. You could post Every day and we would watch. We are in our later 70's but we have done so much of what you are doing, though we did it in the lower 48. We love it when you are cooking...such amazing meals!
First time watching your channel. I love you my guy. You have skills, you love your woman, you love animals ,you love outdoor cooking in cast iron. Your my hero.
All dictionaries need to be reworked. The entry 'food porn' no longer needs words to define it, only a picture of those cheese steak sandwiches 😍
💯
I’m so sorry that you still have soooo much snow ❄️ 😱 hey from New York loving your channel!!!!
My Favorite meal is ALL. Anything u cook in the kitchen can be done on a sweet fire, catch is tastes Way better!!! Love y'all and the pups. See u next vlog trip.😙
Cherry or peach cobbler in the Dutch. THAT SANDWICH! The eggs in the hash looked amazing. That lid on is magic. Be safe, stay full. ❤️
Your campfire meals are way more advanced than the hot dogs and smores we had🤣 The hash looked phenomenal!!
I enjoy watching your videos I actually look forward when I see one posted. You guys work so well as a team, much love. I hope you guys get to explore your new property in the spring/summer.
I have made several of the food you have cooked in your videos and me and my sister have canned some of your suggestions. Sending positive vibes from Ottawa, Ontario Canada
Stay safe in your new lockdown!
@@patsykluting-lucas3804 thank you Patsy but you wouldn't even know we are in another lock down with people wearing no masks and feels like some are protesting any of the guidelines. 😥
@@patsykluting-lucas3804 As long as I know im doing my part at home. My husband is am essential worker, he drive a garbage truck
@@sherryadams7965 sad to hear that some find it so difficult to wear a mask! At my age I appreciate the wrinkle camouflage lol. It's a shame after a whole year still resistance. It will pass especially if we each do our part. Be safe 😷
You guys are great. Love watching your life. Two hard working people.
Our favorite campfire meals are ground bison in a potato, carrot & onion skillet-a bit like your hash.
The simplest and another favorite is cutting up a salad ahead of time & cooking any kind of steak over the campfire. We slice the steaks and serve them over the salad greens.
Thank you for sharing your amazing and unique campfire cuisine. Now I’m starved!
I’m surprised to see you using store bought bananas and marble cheese. Pretty much everything you cook is home grown , preserved or hunted.
You showed us some wonderful meal creations
Well done 👍.
Greetings from Canada 🇨🇦 🍁
There's that valuable Pyrex bowl again!!
Thanks for the tips! Tip for you: your biscuits will be so much better if you don't work the dough so much. They don't need any more working than what it takes to mix the ingredients. They'll be much lighter and more tender. Then put them so they are touching each other to cook. Just a tip from an old lady who's been at it a minute ;)
I love watching you two, especially when you're cooking.
Mushrooms in every meal.. sounds like a whole world-view to me! :) Food looked delicious!
Such good meals ! Yum yum 👍👍😊
Love the outdoor cooking series you got going lately!
My favorite as a kid, was the old Girl Scout standby, can of tomato soup, onion, green pepper , hamburger meat, like a stew of some sort. I can cook really well, so as a adult now, I like fish, fried potatoes, and a ruin galette, and you can cook it in a frying pan, or a Dutch oven. Also a really great steak is always good! Whatever is made! Besides, when you camp, and you aren’t the cook, you eat whatever is made! That’s why I like to cook!
