I really enjoyed your new format camp cooking video, Frazier Douglass! It's great that you can still share your knowledge of campfire cooking, while not leaving your home. I know there is still a lot of work involved in producing these videos, so please make it as easy a task as possible. That bean stew looks fantastic, and we will be trying it out sometime soon.
You have been such a faithful and supportive subscriber for many years. I really would like to talk with you on the phone & get to know you better. My contact information is on my website if you have the time.
That looks good. Navy Bean Soup was one of the first dishes my mother taught me how to make using dried Navy beans sorted the evening before and soaked overnight, Vidalia onions, diced tomatoes and pork sausage with sage and a little pepper. We'd kneed the sage into the sausage and then pinch it into little balls about the same sized as the diced onions and add it to the pot after cooking the beans a few hours. The tomatoes are added last, just long enough to warm through. The resulting broth was better than anything bought at the store. We'd serve it with homemade bread slathered with butter and a thick slice of onion. Made that for one of my professors back when I went to college and the face he made after biting into it was one of my best memories from those days.
Yummmm. That sounds great! I think I’ll use sausage next time. I have tried to cook this soup many times with dried beans and never could get them tender. I learned that they are different from pinto beans. My wife never soaks pintos and they get tender after about 2 hours cooking. Thanks for the note.
@@moderntentcamping It does take about 3 hours of simmering, but if can beans work well for you then I would just reduce the water a bit and start with the sausage. When it's no longer pink add the beans, onions and then the tomatoes at the end.
It was very good and made enough for another 2 meals. But next time, I’ll either cut mu ham into bite size pieces before frying or use sausage. Thanks for watching and posting this note.
Hey there Frazier... The Navy Bean Stew looked delicious. With all those ingredients seems to be a healthy meal as well. I sure would love to see more of your camp meals, i enjoyed watching this video. Thank you for sharing. Take care Frazier D. Friend... 🇺🇲
Thanks Jason. I’ve got a few more ideas for campfire cooking videos. Currently working on chicken pot pie. Have you ever made one? Kinda fun. We’re having problems with car and home air conditioning. Not good in Alabama summers. House seems ok now but car still doesn’t work after spending over $2,000. Hope they can figure out the problem. Regards to your family.
@moderntentcamping ... I've made many chicken pot-pie dinners in my dutch oven. No AC is no fun. That's crazy they haven't fixed the problem after spending $2,000 Hope it is fixed soon. All is well here, hope all is well with you and your family.
Thanks Shannon. How are you doing? I missed getting together with you guys but I’m glad you are continuing the tradition. Next time, I think I’ll use sausage. Take care.
I can’t complain lol.. yeah we missed having y’all there as well but understand. We all are pretty busy and have stuff going on this year so unfortunately I do believe we probably won’t have it here or in Tennessee. Hopefully we can do it again next year. Yeah sausage sounds great, I remember my grandparents love to cook and eat these all the time. Seems like every time I would go over their house that’s what they would be having for dinner. Gotta have that butter bread to go with it too lol..
Interesting. Didn’t know there was such a difference. I guess fresh fruits & vegetables are cheaper down here. Thanks for watching and sending the note.

I'm going to make this when we go camping this fall. I've wanted to cook beans over a campfire for a long time. They look delicious.
Thanks for watching and leaving this note. Hope you enjoy them as much as we did.
I just love navy beans, this will come in handy

Hey, can you recommend a park or campground close to Durham for October tent camping? Thanks Frazier!
Have you seen my website? Perhaps it will answer your question?

@@moderntentcamping thank you so much. I’ll head over there! Love your stuff
A little trivia, the navy bean, received that name after the navy spent time researching beans with the highest protein.
Interesting fact. Will try to save it to impress someone some day. Thanks.
my lord those peppers at your store are CHEAP!!!! We live in NH and they are a $ more/pound...
