As always , I live in New Mexico and so much appreciate any video about desert camping and living. It's nothing like the wood wenners that have everything at thier feet , this is hard living , hard land and survival. We don't have a nature mini mart around every corner. So much thank Junkyard Fox.
Our pleasure!
I enjoy the internal peace that his videos bring and his peaceful nature.
This is one of my favorite JF videos from the last 6 months. Made me feel peaceful.
This is a real camping video. Thank you youtube for finally showing me something I want to see 🙏🏾
I love how realistic these videos feel about what camping is really like. So much over polished bushcraft out there and these feel like getting back to the roots of it like those old DC videos.
When you are building ground shelters using tarps, remember;
Low & narrow = warmer
Less air circulating is less air your body has to warm up, low and narrow is always better. Use the extra tarp material for the bottom for insulation layers with dry grass in between to prevent loosing heat through ground convection.
About your cooking - you will get a better caramelization (nice crispy outside and keep the moisture inside) if you throw some pure butter in the pan on top of less oil when using a cast iron skillet…just a personal tip.
You are one of the luckiest man in the outdoor 🔥🔥🔥✌️😜✌️🍀🍀🍀… no other people… no wife running around you … ✌️😂✌️🔥 … cool shelter … and RELAX… 😁✌️🍀
Like the video. One thing I learned growing up in Colorado. If you remove your shoes for sleeping, place a sack or pair of over the tops of the shoes/ boots to keep anything from crawling inside while you're asleep. Spiders, scorpions, snakes etc.
Appreciate the realistic vibe. Wasn't perfected, more real life. Good job on the content.
Nice relaxing video. You are making me miss camping out in the SoCal desert, I moved to the Midwest a few years ago. Good stuff, thanks for all the great content!
Same here. I really miss those high desert nights - with skies so clear and dark you can watch the satellites go overhead.

It's nice to see you back out there. I'm glad to see you eating a healthier not a lot of YT channels cover health foods while camping. Stick with it and take care of your body, its a survival skill after all.
That was some real primitive fire starting. Also, glad to see your cast iron is looking well maintained.
I dig your videos. Keep them coming! I like the cooking unique items from the landscape! Very cool
Your low light filming worked out great!!! People gotta know how to operate in the dark. Keep up the great work fellow desert rat. Not many of us around surviving.
For the past few years I have watched several different individuals provide information, demonstrate skills they use when out and about their local area, but they realize each time is different. Be yourself, use your skills that you know will help you be successful, and continue to provide demonstrations of those skills for other people to use and/practice if they find themselves out in an area that you live in on a regular basis. I share this because of my experience with different environments and assisting others learn skills so they can be successful when they are out on their own near their homes or events and activities. Continue discussing safety we need to be aware of while practicing the skills we need to know if we decide to go out in an area like you are in. These are just suggestions, but I believe it is important for us to know. Thank you for taking the time to read this comment and respond if you desire to do so.
Your videos are great. I like to live through them. I wish I could go back out and camp but unfortunately my mother has been dealing with lung cancer for going on three years now. It's getting worse so I had to leave work back in May to take care of her. Your videos of camping is my break, my oasis if that makes sense. So keep on doing what you're doing. And quit apologizing for lightning or wind etc. We love it. 🙏
With all due respect, your approach to life is not very smart if you want to actually experience things
@@SupTim1 My mother passed 2 days before Thanksgiving. Thanks for your concern
@@JustOneRock1 I'm sorry for your loss. Im in my 20's and already lost both of my brothers, so I get it. Go experience things though
Your awesome. I'll watch and like everything I can. Recover.
Absolutely love your thumbnail it's like a Modern Day Cowboy.
It’s cold today, you better be making a green chili stew video lol
Awesome camping vid 👍🏼👍🏼
Amazing area and video dig the solo adventures. Cool new gear love the knife and the haversack. Stay safe my desert brother.
Great video man. Keep doing more videos like this.
I love camping in the desert ..Cool .👍
Cook the fish "skin side down" 1st. Then only needs a very short time on the other side and gives you a beautiful crispy skin.
*good shelter brother glad to be friends with you*
Glad to see you back in the field!!!
I camped in Prescott, Arizona. It was beautiful. Only issue was the javelinas. 🐗 They smell any food at all they show up in packs. Attacked another campers vintage metal cooler on the table..They attacked the camp dumpsters. Which, probably should have been in a gated shed or something like that. It's not like they didn't know that javelinas are like racoons. They're going to try to access anything with food in it.
I like the low light filming just fine.
6:05 like he didn't know we were there lmao 🤣 hilarious
What a great video James, I think this is my personal favorite you've done. Really hope you continue these types, super cool
Cheers to you my friend 💪
I really enjoyed the "Let's go camping and hangout" style of the video. I am REALLY getting tired of the wannabe super campers/bushcrafters out there who edit everything down to perfection. Like a lot of dudes would have cut out fish going in the pan cause it wasn't "perfect" and just showed it being set on the fire. This was a great, "Come with me" style video. Keep it up and subbed.
Cough cough LoneWolf903, Joe Robinet, OutDoorGearReview cough cough.
@@alblazashirley8965 I didn't say "all" the other guys.
I didn't either lol.
Hate it all you want it's their content and some of them it's their livelihood so if my pay check depending on it I'd want it to be perfect to so 🤷♂️
Great video, James! It's good to see you back out here!
Mt man here I watched alot of your videos good vids like to meet you in person for talk an over night camping an cookout for steak an eggs
Great to see you back in the saddle, from the clips you showed from your vacation, you were only a couple hrs north of were I live in Oregon. You got lucky with the weather, seems like it's been raining for here for ever up until this last week. Great camp, good looking food 🥑 ( don't be afraid to pull that salmon off a bit earlier, it's way better medium rare), very nice my friend 🤠

Good to see you out and about, James!
Junkyard Fox back with another great video. These are the vids I always enjoy James. Keep em comin brother. Big fan here for years now. Hope you doin well man. It seems u are.
Glad you’re feeling better. Love your videos. Just camping with the basics. 👍
Very nice camp. The desert is nice and peaceful. Thanks for showing us and take care.
I enjoyed this one brother, and I appreciate you leaving in all the little mishaps, too many TH-camrs doing too much dishonest editing magic
Really digging your Healthy Meal 👍🏾... the Avocado 🥑, salmon
You got me hooked on these sides i rewatch this video Alot and every tim i see those i remember finding these sides at Walmart and they are in all my videos when i cook outdoors. Love the channel. I hope i get this good at TH-cam someday
Glad to see you're back at it my friend! I love knorr rice and that looked like a fantastic meal! Rushing happens to the best of us. Desert cold is no joke, that temp difference from the day and night is very noticable. A much different story from the north where it's just cold all the time. Great video and I'm looking forward to an awesome 2022, can't wait to see what you have in store for us!
You are my favorite TH-camr you are actually the one that inspired me to get me a pair of cowboy boots love your channel keep up the grind man love your channel I wish you and your family’s life the best my dream is to actually go to Texas maybe one day I’ll go . ❤️🤠
appreciate the kind words, bother!
@@JunkyardFoxI want to apologize for piggybacking on Timmy Wyatt's comment. I also want to apologize for hounding you with questions. This was the first video of yours that I have seen. You're livin' the life! I frequent a similar area (south Tejas). How long were the tent stakes you utilized in the video? Would you suggest something longer for that type of ground (rocky/hard)? I'm currently in the process of comparing tent stakes (looking on etsy for hand forged, in the USA), so I'd find any information you're willing to offer beneficial. I'm also curious about your bandanas. What are the dimensions, manufacturer/retailer? I'm curious about the cotton and particularly the wool. Junkyard Fox, thanks for your time and the video!
The simplicity of your campout is amazing! 👍👍
Nice relaxing video, thanks. Can't wait to get back out there.
Nice vid! Flint and steel fire... awesome!!!
Thanks, James
Great overnight trip as always! Loved the knife you won in the raffle.
Cool bushcraft camping video. Not to many YT campers do videos in the desert. Most of the videos are in the woods, and the mountains.
I'm not knocking camping videos that take place in forests, and mountains, as I love camping, and enjoy going up to a mountain forest, and smelling the fresh pine, listening the gurgle of a mountain stream, and witnessing the breathtaking sight of the sun rising over majestic snow covered peaks in the morning.
I also like going to the desert, as long as it's in the cooler months, and love going to the beach. Videos that are in the mountains, and the woods get a little old for me, and would like to see more desert, and beach camping vids.
Seeing the desert bloom with color in the early spring is a sight to behold, and nothing is more relaxing, and refreshing than finding a nice secluded beach, where it's just you, the sand, the surf, the fish, and a gentle sea breeze.
Might attempt to only use the two cross yucca stalks tied so the thick ends touch the ground...with a plow point tarp set up.
Use a stick at the tie down points with rocks piled on top as if in the snow.
Thank you for your sharings.
The most relaxing videos on you tube and that’s a good thing.
Great video, Games! Thank you for sharing!
Try the MSR Groundhog stakes. They are in the Y or inverted triangle configuration that grips the sandy soil better than a small diameter round stake. They are hard enough to drive into the rocky Arizona ground - even at Picacho Peak, which is nasty.
Most Y stakes are too soft for Arizona.
They are still pretty light and come in a mini, regular and large length/width.
Great video James! The shelter was just fine. I've made similar with the military ponchos which have more grommet points.
New. Just catching up on your videos. Heres a salmon cooking tip amigo. I cook it on a bed of sliced red onions. Butter or oil on top with your spices. It doesnt burn! Put a lid on it if you want to poach it - keeps it moist and cooks faster. Enjoy.
Excellent video thanks for sharing
Another Awesome Video!!! Keep ‘em coming and keep your head up I love stopping at the ole drive thru as wel😂👍🏻
Nice little tent you rigged up there! Super cool. I'm going to make one next time I go, if nothing else, just for kicks! Awesome
GREAT JOB *****
Good video, just a basic camp out. Awesome good job.
Thank the Gods. I needed this tiday
Grt video. Glad to see u out Camping. Hope this will be a grt yr for you. See u next time
Love the videos. You are talented and gifted. Keep up the great work. Stay awesome.
Great video! I always look to your videos to see what I can be doing better.
Glad to see you back & yummy looking salmon
Fantastic work 👍
Get yourself a brute force sandbag or a kettle bell. Take it with you so there's no excuse to not hit the gym. I'm an OTR truck driver and that's what I use
I really enjoyed your video. Mojave desert winds can wreak havoc on tarps even when secured and the incessant flapping will keep you awake all night. Cant wait to get back out into the desert. Thanks
When I lived in the desert in New Mexico we never put our sleeping rolls out until just before bed even then we shook them to get the spider's scorpions and other desert critters out.
Here we go!
I agree with what you said about Papa Bear Knives. I’ve got one and it is fantastic! Great video as usual.
Awesome camping ⛺️
That feel's like one of my camping wake ups.
Nice video.I really enjoy the change of scenery from the woods & mountains on other channels. Though I do love the woods and hills, it's nice to see how you use the local resources to accomplish the same task. The tarp worked out well. Was wondering if you'd ever get it tied down in that wind. Might try letting the fire die down to a good bed of coals, adding one piece of wood occasionally. Keeping the flames down seems to keep the oil from flairing up. Here in KS the yucca is smaller so not much use for shelters as good as yours. Enjoy your balmy winter.☺
gorgeous blade.
welcome back enjoy you work
This was as real as real is.
The Wind.
Everything is different here and a challenge. Error can be fatal solo. That's the First Realization. There is nothing weak in the desert.
I got infection last..2 falls ago in White Mountains of Az..if I had my wits about me I could have flushed wound with my syringe used to backwash water filter. Story and a tip.
Again, I really enjoyed the video. Wind, burns, Plans GTH immediately after boots on ground...hahaa. Real. Thanks.
Wow! So glad I found your channel. Love camping in the dessert, but you take it to a higher level. :)
Brother I love your video style! Man you are living large sir!
❤️💪🏻👍🏻 thank God that no animals or anybody disturb you while you were sleeping other than that take care brother God bless you
👍 Nice video. Delicious looking meal.
So cool man...👍
Glad you’re feeling better man!
You can glue or duct tape those mylar blankets to the inside of your tarp. It will help keep you warm at night by radiating your body heat back downward at you.
Great video James! I F-in love Cuervo's cover of Zombie!
Another outstanding video James Bob hansler would be really proud of you
before you open the honey, set it in your tea for a few minutes. It warms it up and makes it runny so it comes out of the package easier.
Feel relaxing every time i've visit your channel , Cheers.
I couldn't help but laugh watching you put up that shelter. 😂
(PS, that goatee looks good.)👍🇺🇸
Great video. Peace brother.
I loved this video. I'm sure others may have already said it, but skin side down first!!! Ha ha! Well done!
Glad you liked it!!
Take a still pic at 5:56 and make it Black and White. Total cowboy classic!
Great video. That knife is way better than that orange one. You can get stakes for your tarp at Walmart. For a good price. Or a yard sale. Yard sale would make a good video. Of you picking up some gear. Well God bless. From Glenn CATT in Massachusetts.
I thought I had seen this one. But I haven't. Great video as always. Good job 👍
I love avocado with a little salt....yummmm
glad you're feeling better. nicely done with the tarp, bummer you didn't catch anything in your trap. beautiful blade !!!!! mice win !!!!!
Ushanka hat defo keeps you warm!
Good stuff man!
Good to see that you recovered. I love simple camps. Most of my friends now rely on Giant RV's.
im sure an rv can be fun and has its benefits, but it cant compare to truly immersing yourself in the great outoodrs, the warmth of the fire, the chirping of crickets, the stars overhead.
@@JunkyardFox They have been lifelong friends. We have taken different paths, but I respect their decisions. Keep up the good work and thank you for inspiring this 64 year old to keep getting out there.
Good times man! I need to get out for a lone night under them stars!!awesome new edc nice blade for sure
Glad to see you back at it bro 😎 “let’s get started” 😏🙌🏽
