    one thing you can do to keep food cold longer is make a pouch out of that bubble wrap with aluminium foil on both sides. works like a cooler and does take up much space. either that or buy one of those insulated shopping bags. Or a soft sided lunch cooler.

    I like the idea that people can support their favorite creators directly instead of just hoping that they get enough ad revenue. I think it would be really cool to see you get enough support through patreon that you could start to do a lot of camping gear testing. I hate camping review channels were they only test things in their backyard and never actually try them out in the real world.

    • @FridaysTheBomb
      @FridaysTheBomb  5 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Yeah, I want to get some decent tents and hammocks, try them out in a video, then pack them up and give them away. Each video could be all new gear, if I get enough support.

      @@FridaysTheBomb If you wind up getting enough support, it'd be super cool to see a video with that wacky ass tent with the motorcycle garage vestibule. It seems purpose built for the 1200GS crowd, but I think your XR650 would look good there too.

    Hey you know those little frozen ice packs if you half freeze your steak then wrap it put 2 of those frozen packs on each side of the steak that will keep your steak cold for hours. Works good .And it takes up no room in the bag .""RIDE ON""

    • @scottbluhm9301

      Or you could freeze a water bottle and keep it with the steak - then you'd have more cold water to drink in the desert as it thawed and it would keep your steak cooler!

    like your camping vids, you could boil green beans or other veges that take longer ,the wetness when in foil will steam them,i just take veges that can be eaten raw/or min cooking red/spring onions, capsicum,celery.mushrooms with meat and bourbon/red wine i really did like the place you visit vids to,like that building in desert that looked deserted, then camping ,still waiting for the catch and cook,dont think ive seen a squirrel catch and cook, and we can get your T shirts to New Zealand now great news

    So thanks for bringing us along.
    Good move on the cutting board (your blades will thank you), red meat on it is fine.
    After normal washing just hit it with sanitizer solution (1 tbsp unscented bleach to a gallon of water)
    in a spray bottle and let it air dry to take care of any nasties that may be there.
    Those veggies look Awesome btw.

    I always look at fire building as a sort of Zen thing. I learned a long time ago how to build a fire with wet wood and other basic bushcraft skills. Nowadays I try and build a fire a different way each time just for the challenge. Look up one stick fire to see what I mean.
