 What do you think about that sunrise? Views are so amazing, it looks like it's fake, but it's not, y'all. Welcome on back to camp, and we are going to be doing some camp cooking today. OSG's Amazing Cinnamon Rolls, baked? How do you do that, you ask? She's going to show you. After we eat our delicious cinnamon rolls, we're going to be doing a little bit of wilderness foraging as well, see if we can find anything to eat that is not going to hurt us and then anything that will help us here at camp. I'm going to enjoy a delicious cup of coffee right now, enjoy this amazing sunrise. We'll get a fire going, and we'll get to cooking. You can see how they change colors, right? From green to yellow, little orangey, and then we're at, this is a good red one. Who's ready for cinnamon rolls? Me! The fire's almost ready, we're just letting those coals burn down. And how we're going to cook these is we're going to be using a Dutch oven. I've got the Dutch oven that has the legs on the bottom, so you can put coals on the top and the bottom, and that's what gives it that really good baking effect, which is what we need when we're making these cinnamon rolls and other tasty treats out here in the woods. But I'm not going to be putting them in the fire, directly in the fire today, I'm actually going to hang them using a pot hanger. So this is just a little pot hanger that I've bush-crafted out here, just put some little notches in there so I can adjust the height on it and I can also adjust my rope. So when I hang it over the fire, if it's too hot, I can raise it up. If I need to put it just right over the coals, kind of like I'm doing now, I'm just letting the fire burn down a little bit, so I'll just lower that. And these little notches that I put in this stick just give me extra adjustability. We have the opus where we can put a flame underneath the pot, but it's really having the coals on top that makes a big difference, and honestly, I just like cooking by the fire. I love having that thing to sleep in, but I love bush-crafting, I love just hanging around camp, doing camp tasks, something about it, man, just resets you. We only do these cinnamon rolls a few times a year. They are so decadent, so rich, you definitely feel it. Like you want to take a nap after you eat them. So we only eat them like a few times a year. Special occasions like Christmas, Thanksgiving, you know, basically holidays, the colder months, and then when we do these cold camping adventures, so you guys are here for a special day. Pot hanger ready? Let's do this. So to prep, what I did first is I went ahead and got the liner. Now our liners are 20 inch, but we've made the fatal mistake of letting the liner come out of the Dutch oven, and then it gets all ashy and chalky in there. So I just cut across, and I put some butter on the bottom so that the cinnamon rolls won't stick. So that's what you're going to put the cinnamon rolls in. You can buy store-bought, but what's the fun in that? These are OSGs. They are, but you know what? I do have a disclaimer first. They're gluten-free, and I've never done a gluten-free. How dare you? How dare you? I do have a gluten-free cinnamon roll, but we'll see how they go. She makes stuff sometimes that's gluten-free, and she doesn't tell me until after, and I'm like, oh, that was really good. She's like, it was gluten-free. I was like, really? And gluten-free because you have an allergy. Yeah. You have Hashimoto's disorder. Hashimoto's. They are a little crumbly. They are going to be more crumbly, since they're gluten-free, I dare you. But that's okay. I got all the icing. Some can fix anything. So you actually prepped these at home, froze them, and we kept them in our little freezer in the camper until last night. We put it on refrigeration mode. So they were slowly thawed out. It's all been working up to this point. It has. So that's basically all you got. And then we're warming up the icing right here, because last year I do remember that we kept our icing cold, and then we couldn't actually ice the cinnamon roll, so. Well, we need to get some hot coals on it too, so I guess we'll hang it first. Yes. Yeah, let's hang it first, and then we'll scoop some coals. Okay. I don't know, that's pretty, how's that look? What do you tell me? That's going to be way too low. First time hanging a pot. It's heavy, guys. Why don't you raise the rope up? Let's see you do this. Let's see how much do you campcraft right now. Out of the kitchen and into the woods, no, you got way too much slack in your rope. What do you want me to do? That's as low as it goes. All right, here's how you do it. Remove the pot. You've got to get the rope adjusted. Okay. What honey? Everything okay in here? Yeah. We have to take a pause from the crucial moment of the movie, has it already cast? I am eventually going to get to this delicious cinnamon roll. Amy wanted her to watch some scene from a movie that had a little sponge in it. She thought it was really funny, and she was crying because mom wasn't there to watch, you know, toddler stuff. If you don't know, maybe one day you will. I'm going to go ahead, and I'm going to commence the OSG's territory. The show must go on. Pot's hanging. Okay. Now need some coals from the top. That's the next step, because you want it to heat from the bottom and the top. Coals going on top. Mm-hmm. It's probably good. Just move that other one. So I remember correctly, it was like 16 coals, like if you had actual coals. If you had briquettes. I guess we could put a timer on for 20 minutes and see what we get. Gotcha. Okay, just raise it up because the fire was getting a little too hot under it. So we're at our lowest notch there, and as that burns down, we'll just lower it. So I would say that's about a foot, about a foot off the fire. How do you like the Dutch oven for cooking stuff out here? Oh, I feel like it's a game changer. Yeah, it's definitely like one of those things. You could cook all your meals in that. So if you only wanted one pot. I think that's the one. That would be the one. Like if you're going to get into truck camping and just camping in general, I would suggest getting one of these. And you can get the one with the legs or without the legs. You know, with the legs, you don't have to have this whole tripod thing. And you can just set it right on the coals. Just scoop some coals to the side, set it on there. But what I have found with doing that is you almost have to have like two separate fires or a big distance because one side of the pot will get more heat than the other. Then you'll end up with like, you know, a couple of burnt cinnamon rolls or one burnt trout. We actually cooked our trout in here last night and they turned out amazing. They did. It tasted like, I mean that, I was going to say, it tasted like fresh salmon. It was. It was. It was straight fresh salmon. It's literally fresh salmon. I've never used coals on top. Normally just use like briquettes. So this is full wild, wild fire style right here with the with the big pine coals I don't know if they'll stay hot long enough. We'll see. And I can get my hand like two inches from timers are going off. So I can hold my hand over it pretty good now. So let's take this off. It's going to be extremely hot. So you'll want to use a tool or something to remove this. Oh, I told those look delicious. But I would say they're not quite needs a little bit more. It smells amazing. I'm going to put some fresh coals on the top and this, the bottom looked like it was getting sizzly. Maybe raise it up a minute. I think that's good right there. Maybe put some more coals on top, a little stale. So if you use like charcoal briquettes, they'll last longer. But that's another thing you have to carry to camp. We went pretty simplistic this trip. I mean, besides the opus, really didn't pack a lot of extras. I'm going to say another eight minutes, five to eight minutes. Sides, definitely got to have that bacon. We're going to get some eggs, coffee, need that coffee. Show them how we're doing the eggs for this trip. Oh, okay. Well, this was your idea, but I used to have these glass jars for juice jars and that basically I just cracked this held a whole 10 eggs. So I cracked 10 eggs, scrambled them up and then used a funnel and poured them in there. That's perfect. Because I mean, last time we did this, I think we put it in like a plastic milk jug, but it ended up being way too big. So this held 10 eggs and you're the only one eating eggs this trip because I'm not eating eggs and Emmy doesn't want them. That works out good. It's perfect for you. You can re-clean it. It's not crazy. You don't need to get disgusting and you already got your eggs so you don't have to worry about cracking eggs and no mess, you know, all that stuff. So eggs, bacon, cinnamon rolls coming at you in the wilderness. Let's see how we did. All right. I need to check her brown. The outer ones brown there. They're done. They're done. And there might be a little, I think it's the gluten. They look, they look great. They look delicious. It's all the matter, right? No. It's got to taste delicious. Well, here's the icing. It has already been pre-warmed. You ready for this? I do need a spatula to speed this out. Yeah. Hi. What's your plan here? Well, you just kind of... I blob it on and then I'm going to smooth it out with a spatula. Oh, you didn't make my eggs? Well... Dare you. Dare you. Service. I can't believe this. I knew you should come around. Oh, did you tell them that I would make you some eggs? I was totally joking. I've actually been doing pretty good in the kitchen here this week. I'm definitely on coffee duty after that first day. And actually you've been on dish duty. I've maybe watched two dishes. It's been really nice. Don't get used to it. This is a special camp thing. It is. Maybe I really like camp Justin. See? Camp LFG. I want you to go more. So I've watched the dishes. And I, you know, I'm camp commander. Make sure everything's good. So you want to go again? Adventure leader. You are. Well, you're going to have to come out here. You're watching a movie in there. You're going to have to come out here and eat a cinnamon roll, I think. Or else I'm just going to have to eat them all. Would you like a cinnamon roll? Yeah. Cool. Okay. So we should probably pause that movie. All right, y'all. Let's look and see how we did here. Cinnamon roll looks... Looks really good. Let's take a look at the bottom. Oh. I think we did pretty good on the bottom. I think it's just right. I think it's just right. All right. Let's get a family bite. Okay. Amy, you want the first bite? Well, not the outside. It's going to be... What? What are you saying? What are you saying right now? It might be a little tough. I don't think it looks tough at all. It looks awesome. Wow. Amy just went on in there. They're a little more crumbly because they're gluten-free. Mmm. Mmm. I don't think we'll be able to cook them. I think we'll just try it. Mmm. Oh, wow. Mmm-hmm. Oh, you guys got to get a look at the inside. Mmm. Okay. I want to go enjoy this with my coffee, my eggs. Bacon. Some bacon. The full outdoor cooking experience out here. Mmm. These are awesome. Good job, baby. Mmm. Thank you. Well, it's kind of like a... This is the best you've done out here. I think so. I'm telling you. A couple of years of experience, we finally get it down. All right. We're going to go enjoy this. And we're going to do some family foraging. Mmm. All right, Amy girl. What do you think of cinnamon rolls? Thumbs up? Sick. By the way, if you want to learn how to make OSG cinnamon rolls, cookbook is still available somewhere on the internet, Amazon. Mmm-hmm. I'll put a link down there. There you go. You're climbing. Watch out for those holes. Stay on the trail. You got to earn your s'more for tonight. We got a boo-boo on trail. Mmm. Come here, Mom. Let me try to pick something. Let's get a piece of your bandana. A piece of it? Yeah. Just the tail end. Okay, hold that there. There we go. You fixed up. You feel better? Yeah. First foraging thing of the trip. We got dandelion. Get the root. So this is what Amy thought of, which is brilliant. I don't even think I could think of this. But she, I gave her these paints yesterday to paint rocks, and she's decided that she must bring it on our foraging trip and find different colored nature things for each color paint thing. That's pretty cool. It is pretty cool. All right, I got some dirty big line right now. Sweet. Tons of dandelions up here. You can actually eat these. So this is my first edible forage. Tastes like a salad with no dressing. Supposedly full of vitamin A. I've got the leafy parts and the roots in my bag. So I'm going to make a little salad, a little dandelion salad. Get some big dose of vitamin A. All these pines are full of vitamin C in their nettles. I've never drank that before. If you've always heard about it, you're going to give it a shot. All right, we're at 10,100 feet. Emmy, you get your 10,000 foot badge. Yeah. I mean, it's hard to breathe up here. And you're hiking. You haven't had to carry you once. Doing good. Doing good. Collecting things. I'm looking for some mushrooms. I'm looking for something blue. You found a wild strawberry? Yeah. You kidding me? Well, you never told me that. I don't think I've told you any. But I mean, this is dying. I'm going to shrivel it up. It's a wild edible strawberry. Oh my gosh. So all these like little white flowers, because I've grown strawberries. I knew it wasn't crazy. Hey. Do I get my herbology? Add it to the salad. My herbal, my, what do you call it? A herbology badge? I don't know. I don't know. That's awesome. Wow. Man, imagine if we found like a big juicy one. Yeah. So we can make a little jit salad out here. That's nuts. You found the first mushroom. Wow, man. Good job. Do you need a knife? Yeah, break out your knife. Oh, it has gills. I don't think you're supposed to eat those. I wouldn't want to eat a wild mushroom anyways. But that's pretty cool. You want to add that to the purple pile? Yep. I brought my mushroom book with me. So if we see one that has pores or spikes, we can look it up. Okay. This makes me miss elk hunting really bad. This would be midday, filling up the canteens. Shout out to born and raised. I hope those guys are getting some bull down right now. Wow, that's awesome. I'm impressed with our little hiker right now. Me too. I am too. We're going to turn her into a little OSG. We love the hiker. This could turn south at any moment, but right now it's pretty good. Just chilling by the brook, soaking in the vibes. OSG has found two mushrooms. I looked them up in my little mushroom book. Not edible. This is pretty interesting to me. I've never mushroom hunted, but I could see myself getting into it, especially in conditions like this. Well, the reasons I love elk hunting is just walking around in the woods and getting to do this and explore is, well, I've never really explored because I'm always hunting out. So definitely fun to just get on a trail, start looking around, foraging. OSG with another strawberry find. I just heard like a deep bellowing. And it's really not something I think an elk would do. And I don't have much experience around bears, so we're going to bounce. There are moose up here too. I definitely do not want to run into moose. So we're just going to back out of here. We're going to head back to camp. Well, Amy, I honestly thought I was going to have to carry you down the mountain. But you showed resiliency after getting your boo boo and kept going. And you showed perseverance. So I just wanted to let you know I'm proud of you. And you've earned yours more for tonight. And a badge, if we have no badge. I was going to say, I think we all earned the badge. That was a legit hike. That was. I'm so proud of this. This was fun. I think I had more fun on it than anybody else did. This is so cool. Look at all the colors. It's amazing. Strawberries in there. Dandelions. All sorts of cool flowers. Fines. Mushrooms. Poisonous. We're not going to eat that. But yeah, we got some wild edibles. So we're going to go back and make a little salad. And drink some pine tea. Yeah. I think if anybody is wanting an idea for kids, this is definitely it. But I would do like a full 12 with a lid. So you can carry it around. Yeah. That way the wind won't get it. That was just kind of on the fly. Pine tea. You don't want to eat pine tea? You don't have to. So I think the girls definitely win on the forage game. I wish she had an eye for those mushrooms. Didn't end up bringing any of those back because, you know, we are very far from any sort of medical attention. And I don't want to put myself in that situation. Plus I didn't find any out of my book that I thought would be edible. So I did find some dandelions. Nice, fat root on that guy. And we got the flowers as well. Which I've been just kind of munching on these a couple of day. Just get some vitamin A. And right now I got a little water that I'm boiling. And I've never tried this before. I wanted to do this for a while. Let's see what it's like. This is white pine. And I'm going to take these nettles, kind of crunch them up. And stick them in there and make a little vitamin stew. Supposedly it's just chock full of vitamin C. And if you chew one, it has a bit of an orangey taste. Like a bit of a zest. Like if you're eating the peel. So there's that little bit of bitterness, but it's not terrible. And do we have any honey in there honey? Yeah. See? Put a little honey in there. Make it sweet, sweet, sweeten it up. Just like you, sugar booger. Just like you, sugar doll. Anyway, we'll see if it purrs us up or not. And I've got a regular salad. And I was just going to try to throw some of these leaves in. But they're really dirty. I've never eaten the root. I've eaten the leaves and the flowers before. Supposedly, you know one of these little books that I have. It says if you dry the dandelion root out. And then you grind it up. It can be like a coffee substitute. So I'm assuming there's some stimulants in it. But I don't know. Might lead to diarrhea as well. Oh, you don't have enough really to tank for that. Nope. Tank in the opus is just about full. We have pretty much pushed the limits. All right. Now what we're going to do, I'm going to take my little coffee pot. My espresso pot funnel. And I'm just going to pour this into this cup. Straining out the leaves. Oh my God. That is hot. Not think about that aspect of it. I need like two minutes right here. Oh, I got it. I got the solution. That blow there. Oh, yeah. Clean, smarter, no harder. Wow. Smells really good. I'm going to take a sip without the honey. And then we'll take a little honey. And froth that in there. You know what I'm saying? While we're waiting on that, I'm going to try the dandelion root. So I've never tried it. Get some of this dirt crust off of here. It's kind of like peeling a carrot, I suppose. I really know. It's got a little pop on it. Taste about like what you'd expect. Better. Supposedly great for your heart. A lot of medicinal benefits of the dandelion. And there are just thousands of them up here. It's a little strong. That's very strong. I prefer the flower much better. I'm going to try the leaf. The leaf is not as bitter. We'll just pop the flower off that guy. A little ranch, you can eat those all day. The flower is the best part. That's very interesting. Okay. Got to live a little guys. Got to explore things. That was a pretty good little experiment. Now let's try the tea. Too hot. OSG and I just stumbled upon why our tea is cooling. Our chain mail and our little hook. This was missing from our camp. And there's that dagum deer. What's her name, Deera? She's been in our camp every night. I guess she grabbed this thing. I guess it smelled good to her. I took it off along with the hook. And it was like 20 yards over there. So I found it. That's probably the best forage of the day. We found my chain link. Do you want to try some of this tea? I have not. I'd love to get your reactions. I think it's still very hot. I like hot tea. I don't. I'm not really a fan. I haven't put honey in it yet. Okay. Get you a little bit here. There you go. That's it. Just get you a taste first. Smells good. Smells great, right? These bees. That's not even hot, y'all. It's warm. What? It's just warm. Yeah, you're right. You're right. It's not bad. I would drink that. I would definitely drink that. With a little bit of honey, that'd be great. A little bit of honey would be good. I don't even think you need it. How many pine needles did you put in there? Just one? No. Did you like this? I broke them up. Okay. I broke them up. You can definitely taste the pine. It smells like pine, y'all. Are you sure it's vitamin A? It's vitamin C. Okay, vitamin C. Vitamin A is the dandelion root, which you can try if you'd like. Well, that makes sense because it's yellow. Vitamin A typically has orange or yellow color. Vitamin C, I could definitely taste the orangey, the zesty, the citrus. Do you want some more? Thank you. It's got a little bit of color to it. But hey, we spent the day. The cinnamon rolls started it off. Kicked it off full of energy. Did family foraging. That was, I think, my favorite part of the whole trip. Yeah, I wasn't sure how that was going to go. I didn't know if Amy would even make it. She did. The first 10 minutes were a little questionable. They were getting up the hill, but y'all, she climbed like 500 feet up the mountain. I was watching the elevation, so pretty good. And I think you had more fun foraging than you thought you were going to. I think I'm going to do that for the next camp trip with kids. I'm going to get a whole six or 12 egg container. Scavenger hunt. Yeah, and paint them. And we've got, I'm going to say 90% of it. Well, I've even added some back here. Oh yeah, you've added some. So, coconut salmon, saw hawk, saw osprey, groundhog, butterflies, saw all that. And these are just things that we thought we would see up here that would make it really fun for Amy. And we've crossed off most of the things. Didn't hear an elk bugle. Did not see a brown trout. Saw a cutthroat trout. Saw, didn't see a moose. I think we heard a moose today. I was going to say, we probably heard a moose or bear or something big, whatever it was. Something big. I think a moose smelled us. I don't think it was an elk, because an elk would have just took off through the woods. I've been out in the woods a lot, and I've yet to hear like a deep bellow like that. And I've always heard moose have like a weird, like just deep bellow. So, we just turned tail and got out of there. Our next camping trip, I think, is going to be amazing. Full of scavenger hunts, family trip. It's going to be awesome. Baby Ben. I was going to say, the next thing is to see if Baby Ben can hang. See if he can really hold up to the wrackly test. Well, cheers, honey. Cheers. I've had an awesome time. And the trip and the books. And the trip and the books. I hope you guys have enjoyed watching our camping adventures. Let us know if you want to see more. We're going to do more local camping in the wintertime. And so, carry the cameras along with you. But I've had a blast up here. I hope you guys are breathing some of that fresh outdoor air, baby. It just fuels the soul. Love it so much. We'll see you guys on the next adventure.
