Wow. That look like a great time with great people. Cooking with cast iron is the best. Not to mention you can do it in the woods over a fire. What more could someone ask for.
I was there! That was *SO* much fun cooking in cast iron sharing group fire pits! Amazing people! Every single dish was AWESOME! Love hammocking with the Wife and kids. Mornings are so peaceful. Great community!
Thank you so much for coming to the hang! Your contribution made an already awesome event just that much better. I just hope you got enough to eat! :) I'd love to see you come back even if just for the chance to hang with everyone. I am disappointed though, I was hoping to win that awesome wool blanket!
Hey Dan you should consider having an event like this from State to State and at end of year have a National cook off with the winners. Would get to test out a lot of diverse and different types of food from all over the US. Maybe hold the finals at your facility in PA. Would be a wonderful National event for the area and around the home base of Schuylkill County . Everyone could visit Yuenglings while attending your event. Oh and don’t forget Knobles Grove……can handle a huge crowd there…
This was great! While back for about 5 years I was an art/craft show judge for my city, and it was a fantastic experience. Really enjoyed seeing y’all’s genuine enthusiasm 😀 I get it!!Brought back memories for me 🥰
I really enjoyed that! It looked tough being able to judge after eating all that wonderful chow. Crystal has her hands full with you, poor gal. Lol!!!😄
So glad to see you joining the hammock community for a wild food party; you fit right in! Wouldn't be surprised if you had the "meat sweats" (a real thing). Thank you for sharing such a cool experience!
This event is AMAZING!!! Great cast iron cooking, awesome people. If you have an issue with your gear you would be hard pressed to find someone who WOULD NOT drop what they were doing and help you. First year for the cast iron cookoff... and what an totally awesome idea this was! I walked around looking at everyones dishes and talking to the people making them. The Coalcracker Bushcraft cast iron cooking tutorial was very informative and inspiring! So much so I wound up going to the store and buying a 12" pan and accessories! Now all I have to do is figure out how to dress up my Spaghettios and pull down one of those major awards!
Looks like a really fun time. You guys had an almost impossible task with the amount of food and the number of starving people in line. I’ve seen competitions where those who wanted to compete picked up small disposable numbered bowls from the organizers. Then each had a portion of food to be judged and were submitted to the judges. That way people could eat while the food was being judged. There’s fine details to be hashed out but you get the idea.
sometimes I think when shooting solo your presentation and gestures can feel a bit forced for the camera (I know we're all told to exaggerate for the camera) but its lovely to see you working with other people live! you are naturally good on camera just being yourself with other people - no editing needed! you are so friendly and funny! this is definitely a strong point of yours and a talent far fewer people have than solo filming and editing their own scripts would love to see more content like this :)
Great video! Definitely looks like a good time will have to go there sometime. Awesome as always brother. Was good to see Brooke,with Kristals CZcams debut. And Lincoln as well! 💪👍
It's just incredible what beauty, what atmosphere you were able to create. This is truly a meditative experience watching you. I myself started making videos about my adventures, so I'm interested in everything. Grretings from Belarus tourist.
Can we get more wood footage with your pup? Gorgeous dog btw. Love the channel, I took a survival class as part of my college program that I am currently in and I can't get enough of it.
That was awesome!!! For someone who loves to cook in cast iron those recipes looked amazing !!! 👏 great video as always Dan!!! Take care and stay safe my friend!
This was a very different kind of video for you, but still awesome! But Dan! You slept in a rooftop tent at the hammock hang?! Surely someone would have lent you and your wife a couple of hammocks and tarps! The BEST sleep I get is when I'm in my hammock! But still a solid, fun time was had by all it appeared. Keep up the good work!
OMG, love cast iron! You are like a cat on a hot tin roof with food! So funny & licking that spaghetti off your clip board was crazy! Great content & video!
You're absolutely right I am hungry now. I'm glad you like the crowds like that I can't handle crowds anymore I guess that's why I live a l o n e. Y'all have a great day stay safe and sleep it off, oh yeah keep your powder dry!
So that's why I don't have my new knife. The whole family in the woods chowin down like a bunch of freakin bears with unlimited picnic baskets. Wished I was there.
OMG you just made me get so hungry now. Wrong timing, not good when you've been fasting for three days. Gee thanks. Huge like 👍 on this video by the way.
Lol! watched this litterally an hour before I'm heading out to light the grill for my own dinner, this was a damn good way to work up an apetite! And Crystal, you did a good impression anyway :)
Hey there bud! This was great!! Always great to see families out campin and havin good times! Eating well too if course! I had a question. I’m a firebox woodstove guy as opposed to a big campfire. Id like to integrate some dutch oven action into my firebox repertoire. Do you have a dutch oven brand you prefer over another? Especially for the firebox stove application? Just curious. Thanks so much sir. Take care. Paul
A beer? 😂 Looks like a blast, and made me very hungry. Few months ago about 50 of us took to the desert on the border of California and Nevada in the middle of nowhere by no one. Had a kitchen, and several DJs out there lol, so a bit different. But I really enjoy making it with what we brought and what people can come up with. Especially backpacking
Not one wok!?!? Sad! I love mine! I have an 14" wok that's about 4 1/2" deep. It's what I use to cook breakfast in when my wife and I go camping. It actually tastes better than when I use my 16" pan. It's nothing special, just potatoes, ham chunks, eggs. mushrooms, onions and some seasoning, with a little cheese on top of it. But man, it is good!! And a little FYI for those that are DIABETIC. My wife is 50, disabled and diabetic and after this meal, she can go on a moderate hike or walk a festival most of the day, without her sugar crashing.
This was great episode! I think it brings up a good subject you might want to cover in the future (for folks like me). How do you deal with food adversity? I grew up loving Bambi and thumper, I want to hunt and eat rabbit or even fish. In a survival situation, people die because they refuse to eat what is provided. I want to hunt and eat thumper, and more importantly how do I get my grandson to want to eat thumper and bambi?-
What criteria did you judge on? Simple (available in the wild) ingredients + easy to cook, and obviously delicious.. ? as a bush craft instructor/judge, that's what i would've assumed as your criteria.
No, but he donated a few items for the raffle... Thanks Shug and all the other prize donors, with a special thanks to Jacks R Better for the Mt. Washington 20 degree underquilt I won! I hope one day Shug will make it out!
Fortunately, your barely adequate beard is enough to catch some of that delicious food, to save for later. Unfortunately, your face is so difficult to look at that your barely articulate food judgments and sniveling complaints can be heard. How you captured that most excellent wife is an Einstein question/answer. Dutch oven cook offs are soooo much fun. Thanks for sharing this, pure enjoyment. I truly appreciate your most excellent, short lectures. Would like to hear from your son more often. What a great kid! Kentucky
How on earth do you stay so slim I would be 400 lbs + and my heart doctor would be P.O. at me awesome video tho. O ps she can't be your wife she looks TOO young for you .
Are all those people in the background waiting for you? They should have plated the dishes for you so you could sit and judge and the others could go ahead and eat. Waiting for you? WTF? I would have had the chefs plate their dishes for presentation and tasting. Did joe biden organize this?

This is what winning at life looks like!
This country needs more of this

I should not have been surprised to see Dutch in the thumbnail of a Dutch Oven cook off.
Pennsylvania folks, I’m leaving NY for the better retirement tax benefits.
I really enjoyed that! It looked tough being able to judge after eating all that wonderful chow. Crystal has her hands full with you, poor gal. Lol!!!😄

Holy Toledo! I'm stuffed just watching you guys! What great fun.

So glad you had a great time! It showed how much fun everyone was having on the video. Wish we could have one like this down in the steamy south!

It's just incredible what beauty, what atmosphere you were able to create. This is truly a meditative experience watching you.

Hey Dan? Remember you taught me how to make a fire from the sticks off of a maple tree?
Good to see Lincoln again! Love that dog…

Cast iron- my favorite outside cooking !!

New camera?? Great video!!!
"This doesn't suck at all." Well, that says it.
Lol. Awesome fun vid Dan. I "love" American cooking. Sure do miss it.
Caledonia SP? Recognized the building in background.
You think that is insane, you should attend the international Dutch Oven Society gathering in September. It is in PA this year.
Looks like a great time...what hat is that you are wearing Dan?
yep I literally had to go make some steak tacos !

Welp. I’m hungry
Was that Dutch, with the tortillas dish? Sure looked like him
Yep...
Sorry I missed this one... stupid work! MAHHA has amazing cooks and people.
Post the recipe of the 3 winners!
What was the name of the winning dessert..? I've never seen it before and struggling to find a recipe. From what I could hear it Schwarzwald-somthing
Schwarzwald-Auflauf
Schwarzwaldauflauf? If so, that's not how one does pronounce it
North East of what? USA, Canada, Timbuktu?
Pennsylvania
Did shug make it there?
No, but he donated a few items for the raffle... Thanks Shug and all the other prize donors, with a special thanks to Jacks R Better for the Mt. Washington 20 degree underquilt I won! I hope one day Shug will make it out!
Lucky, lucky bastards. 😂
nice fest.
🤤🤤🤤🤤🤤
Jealous. And now hungry.

How on earth do you stay so slim I would be 400 lbs + and my heart doctor would be P.O. at me awesome video tho. O ps she can't be your wife she looks TOO young for you .
There's a non-cast iron pot in the thumbnail 0/10 🤣

Name of group? Where in Pa? Web site….Facebook? Contact info?
