I'm supposed to take the trail card withатель藏 probably hope you like it, please I guess this count has taken my tent out to dry. Oh hello, this is Drew with Michigan Adventure Life. And this is John. And we're out here at the Sulek Campground on the Piermark Kett River. We're on the National Forest side and we're camping in fish. Yep, we're on the National Forest side instead of the State Forest side because it's a shared use area. We can currently camp on the National Forest side but not the State Forest side. So we're just camped right across from this quarter mile river access run. And we're going to get some rods ready. You know, set up camp, make dinner, and I'll try and get some fish. So you know, thanks for joining us. Thanks some would argue I used too many sleeping pads but... We're car camping and don't like being uncomfortable or cold. Come here! Come here! Oh, and there we go. All the carous stuff. And we can't be bad. Covered in dark hair. But whatever. And there we go. Home sweet home. Come on, do you like to tent? Do you like to tent? You just go curl up in my sleeping van and go see tonight. So John and I are going to start a fire at some point and think about dinner. And then we're going to talk about some of the stuff we're going to do when we fish tomorrow. Like so many my adventure life meals. This one begins with finding firewood. Maybe we decided we're doing ribs tonight. Which means we're going to need a decent amount of firewood to slow cook those. The slow cooking is the only way to go with ribs, right? Here we go. We got some firewood we bought. And we got some firewood we collected. And there's our fire pit and we can start getting those ribs ready to go. John's just starting that fire up for us. It's going to take about an hour and a half to get the cold to where we want them. Slow cook those ribs. And carous, just guarding us to keep us safe. What are your pro tips to starting a good fire? Oh, make sure you're prep work in a small stuff. Make sure you have something to actually start the fire with whether it's a lighter or matches. Having some fat wood or lint or birch bark to actually get it going. Those along me too. But just prepare for it and know that you're going to always use more wood than you think you will. It's easy when you're prepared, man. Okay, so I want these ribs to fit in the Dutch oven. So I'm going to have to split the rack probably about there. We're going to take some of this desert heat dry rub. I'm going to just fit way better in a Dutch oven like this than if we try to do the whole rack bent around, which we've done before, but is not ideal. We're just going to let those sit and soak that up while the fire goes down. And then we have to chop some onions and mash them garlic. So there's our Dutch oven lined with some tinfoil. We've got our onions in there. We've got our fresh garlic all chopped up. We're going to take a set of ribs and put them on down. I'm going to take another set of ribs and put them on down. That's about the perfect size. Spaced out just a little. There we go. We're going to take the probably just the rest of this because there's not much desert heat left. And just give it another quick. There we go. Now we pop that lid on there, put it on the fire for a couple hours. Nice thing about the Dutch oven is we don't have to keep as much an eye on it as if it was just cook it right on the grate. And every once in a while we'll just make sure it's not burning. It's about it. It's a cool cup. Let's take a look at that cup. Ooh, yeah, that looks cool. I like it. I need one. I like it. I'm just going to look in on the ribs real quick. Oh, I would definitely say they're getting there. We're probably another half hour. Probably smell amazing. Add some rice with our ribs. Oh, that was what I was trying to avoid. Then our scrollcooker is just going to hold that pot there. I'm going to have to top it off with water as it boils. Probably just take 20 minutes instead of 10. Oh, yeah, let's check these ribs out now that we... Oh, yeah. Some of the bones have already literally fallen out. I think we're done. Let's get to the table. Is that bone I pulled out? I would definitely say they are done. Oh, it smells really good. You can tell we burnt all the onions and garlic on the bottom, and I don't even... It's going to add to it. It saved the meat. Bone Apple T. Oh, look at that. This is gorgeous. This is how ribs should be. It should just be yank at bones right out of them and eat and handfuls of meat. We're going to settle down here. Eat our ribs. Enjoy our dinner. How's your ribs and rice? Goody damn good. Hell yeah. Oh, and someone's super happy with their dinner. Because it turns out, John and I cannot each eat a bag of rice and a half slab of ribs. Always a good sweetie. I took the bones out. I only give it one bone, and I watch her eat it because they splinter a little bit. But you know, we're just going to do that. She's going to watch her eat. We're going to work on building that fire up a little bit so we can hang out. So there's our fire built back up. John and I and Carr are just hanging out after that delicious meal. I'm stuffed. I am stuffed. I imagine Carr is stuffed. She ate a lot. So we're just going to enjoy this fire and drink some more rum. It's cooling off. The bugs have gone away for the night, which is nice. We're just going to hang out for a while, guys. Maybe have some more rum. Maybe have some more rum. Thanks.
