Thanks Jason. It’s good to hear from you. Hope you and your family are well.

@moderntentcamping ... Riley graduated from Jr. high school on Thursday, my wife Stacie graduated from RN school Saturday. Everything is going good... Thank you. I hope all is well with you and your family as well.

@@redwhiteblue7831 Congratulation’s to them both. Important milestones in life.

Thanks mrbr. It’s good to hear from you again. For most of my life, I would get an occasional craving for a chicken pot pie. And most of the time, I’d but a frozen pie from the grocery store. I’ve tried almost every brand available but never was satisfied. But when I first tried this recipe, I was hooked. It really is a great-tasting meal. Thanks for all your support.

Thanks for the note.

Yes, I just returned from an extremely hard trip. Fortunately, I had family members to help me because I couldn’t do kit by myself. Everything was hard - even walking to the bathroom house. I am sad to say - my camping days are over. But I have many great memories. Thanks for watching and writing.

Thanks Cindy. I’d have to say that you are the person - more than anyone else - that pushed me to do more cooking videos.

Have you seen my website? Perhaps it will answer your question? moderntentcamping.com/great-family-campgrounds

@@moderntentcamping thank you so much. I’ll head over there! Love your stuff

Thanks for the tip. I’ll try it.

I’m glad you found this video helpful. We used this tarp system for 20+ years but have now moved up to a kitchen shelter tent. And we are much happier. You may want to check out a few of my recent videos on kitchen shelters. Thanks for the note.

Yes it has many things to offer. Thanks for watching.

@@moderntentcamping Your Welcome

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.

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.

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.

Interesting fact. Will try to save it to impress someone some day. Thanks.

Thanks for watching.

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..

Hey Jeff. Since our last discussion, I’ve narrowed my knife interests to Working Knives of the American Frontier. Now I’m looking for affordable antique knives made by reputable makers. Just won an old buffalo skinner made in Sheffield England on eBay. How are you and your family? Thanks for watching.

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.

Thanks Jeff. How have you been doing?

Thanks for the note Jaqueline. It’s great to hear from you again. I’m doing well. Hope you are too.

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.

Yeah, I don’t think I’ll ever think of one as pretty.

Ok, Thanks.

Thanks for the note AJ. It was nice to hear that someone else liked my suggestion. Hope you have a great year.

That’s good to know. I’ll look more carefully at that king camp table. Thanks for the note.

I just looked at the king camp bamboo table on Amazon and it is only 2 feet high? Is that the height of your table?

@@moderntentcamping NO, it’s adjustable. It’s highest is the height of your metal table, the lowest is about 2’. I’ve only used it at the highest/regular height where you can sit at it on a folding chair like it’s a small desk. I’ve used it camping, rest area cooking, and even as a table in a room at a friend’s that only had a twin bed & a bunch of medical equipment like air tanks & concentrators. I don’t think I can send a link in YT.

@@karinhart489 Sounds good. I’ll look further. Thanks.

Thanks mrbr for your continued encouragement and support. I look forward to your comments. Hopefully, we will be going on a trip with several kids in a few weeks. Hope to make a video about camping with kids.

Thanks for the note. That trailer idea sure sounds appealing. Have thought about it several times but haven’t figured out where to park in near my home. Take care..

Thanks butlerdawgs for your note. It masked me happy to hear you enjoyed it.

Thanks. I always like to hear that my videos are helpful.

Good testimony for large tents. Thanks for watching and telling us this personal story. Best wishes.

@moderntentcamping I'm sorry about the horrible text. I didn't read it before I sent it. My autocorrect, fat fingers , and no glasses were not my strength. I do love big tents. We didn't have that growing up.

Jane, thanks for taking the time to send this note. I always like to hear that my videos are helpful. This is an old video but we still use that top shelf every camping trip. Today, we pack those milk crates in our car and use them to make a chuck wagon. Although I may not mention them, look for one when I show the

Back of our car. Take care.

Thanks for watching.

Shane & Molly, Thank you for your very kind note. Eva cooks great-tasting Mexican food and I wish we had more cooking videos but they are very hard for me to make. Typically, I take several weeks to make a video and need the time to compose my narrative and take the photos and videos. But a cooking video typically must be done all at one time and if you miss a photo, it’s too late to go back. Currently, I’m working on a video about camp tables. Don’t know how many more campground videos I can make. I’m 78 years old and my legs are failing me. It’s very hard to drive far away from home or stand long enough to set up camp. But I plan to keep making videos. Maybe, we’ll devise a way to do more cooking videos. Thanks again. It’s so nice to hear that my videos are appreciated. Take care.

@@moderntentcamping Your videos are very much appreciated and there is no pressure on the type of video you create. Your wealth of camping knowledge is very helpful for campers like us. All of your tips and tidbits are really useful. Thank you for what you do, keep going!

No, I’m sorry but that was a long time ago. As I recall, campsites vary in cost and the more expensive sites were the larger ones. All of the tent only sites were small. Those rated for a mid-size RV have more room. Thanks for watching and for the comment.

Here is an old video czcams.com/video/4ulmTNwOTFE/video.htmlsi=sMpuM8pGzWcJ5UgK

This is a common practice in the Smokies where it rains several times a week. We just sit in our kitchen tent or go for a ride. Thanks for the comment.

@@moderntentcamping It is. I live in the Blue ridge mountain area so it's not uncommon for afternoon storms to pop up out of nowhere.

Hey Angie, Thanks for the note. You picked a very old video but most of this information (other than prices) is still accurate. One point I didn’t make is, I’d buy 2 6P tents rather than one 12P tent. It would be easier to fit 2 6p tents on most campsites. Incidentally, do we know each other?

I assume you like it? Thanks for the note.

Thank you Gideon . I don’t recognize your name. Have you followed my channel long?

Thanks Kelly, I don’t recognize your name but it sounds like you have been a follower for some time. I haven’t looked at that book for some time and think about how much my ideas have changed over the past 10 years. And I wonder if there is anything of value in that book. It needs revision buy someone else will have to do it. Thank you for your prayers. This aging process has been hard for me. I was in such good health just a few years ago but it has declined so quickly - to the point that I can’t walk very far at all without resting. I’ve been to several Doctors and the only answer I get is arthritis. Doesn’t sound bad at all? Oddly, my younger sister has almost identical symptoms and has had several surgeries including a new hip and a new knee without much relief. Thanks for your note.

@@moderntentcamping My name is actually John, but our CZcams account is associated with my wife's (Kelly's) e-mail. We've been watching for about 5 years and have also watched many of your saved videos. Your book is very relevant in my opinion. For example, the sections on knots, camping ethics and even tent types best suited to car camping are very useful. I especially appreciate the text concerning camp etiquette, and how to respond to situations where camp neighbors lack such common courtesies. My wife and I continue to pray for you and Eva. Our Lord is acquainted with suffering and will walk through our trials with us. This sounds so cliche, but it reflects our life experience. I was diagnosed with chronic kidney disease about 3 years ago, and though it has not impacted me too much physically at this point, it's something that is a trial that the Lord has helped me through. Blessings to you and Eva. My heart is that He'd heal your arthritis.

Thanks Jason. I always look forward to seeing your comments. You’ve been a follower for a long time. I don’t remember seeing your videos for a couple of weeks. Did you take a vacation. Or have I been sleeping? You don’t use that maul for splitting firewood do you? Hope your family is well. Take care.

@moderntentcamping ... You are welcome. No vacation, just working a lot, just been tired. It has rained just about every weekend for the past 2 months. I'll be going on a trip the first weekend of May.

@@moderntentcamping... I use my splitting maul for splitting rounds.

Hey axe grind. I’m glad you came back. What are your axe interests/activities?

@@moderntentcampingoutdoors stuff hiking kayaking fishing restoring vintage axes and hatchets when I’m not working. I like the videos great information!

@@user-qi4mx4ds2m cool! Thanks for The comments

Mrbr, it’s great to hear from you again. I’m having problems walking, standing and driving - and these problems have kept me from going on camping trips. Didn’t get out last year and may not get out this year. I’m still interested in camping equipment, history, and procedures but I’m running out of ideas for videos. May be another several months before you see another video. Hope you are doing well. Regards to your family.

@@moderntentcamping Sorry to hear that. I hope things go better for you in the days ahead. But in the meantime, you can do sit down videos when you like, and I'm sure we will all enjoy them.

I don’t use a wok so I can’t give a good answer - but I’d say it depends on how many different meals you would use it. If you’d only use it for one meal, you might want to leave it at home. But if you’d use it for several meals, you’d probably want to bring it. And, I would only bring the smallest one that would do the job. Hope this is helpful.

Hey. Thanks for the note. Don’t know if you are interested but I am currently working on another axe video comparing the Estwing campers axe 14, the Fisgars X7 & a wood handled hatchet. Hope to post it by the end of this week.

@@moderntentcamping I’ll check it out

I think this was the last walk-in site we have camped in. Since we pack our food and kitchen gear in the back of our car, we only want sites where we can back the car up to our kitchen shelter. And -- we don’t stay in campgrounds without showers, in fact, I’m a little particular about the showers. I want a comfortable shower and bathroom. Thanks for watching and posting this comment. Hope you have many fun camping trips in the future.

Yes, you are right. Those guylines can be a pain - literally! One of our long-term goals has been to set up our camp so that we are less likely to trip on guylines. Not an easy task but we have made some progress. Thanks for watching and posting this comment. Hope you have many happy camping trips in the future.

@@moderntentcamping Same to you!!

We decided not to carry this fan anymore because filling the reservoir, emptying it, and drying ate sponges was a hassle. The wet t shirt or towel does just as well. Never had the space to pack an air conditioner. Thanks for watching and posting this note.
