Fire ban been lifted and I'm celebrated Canadian thanksgiving with you. Thank you to be there and follow Kelly and I journey.
Good morning everyone. We just arrived in the backcountry. So quiet. We have a giant
place to make a fire. A little creek right here. A little creek here and I think I can go on the
other side. I went here in the winter and the level of water was way bigger and I could cross.
Oh I'm gonna go cross that later on. So I think I'm gonna start the fire pretty pretty soon
because my plan is to do a mini Thanksgiving dinner lunch type of. Yes it's Thanksgiving for
us Canadians. I forgot to look online why in the States you guys have Thanksgiving like one month
later than us. But the real Thanksgiving in Canada is this weekend, Monday. And
yeah so I just wanted to do a little Thanksgiving with you guys. Enjoy nature. Our first campfire
of the season. We had fire ban the whole summer and they just released it. So it was like
there is like a week ago I think but with all my van little issue and little things that happened
and the weather I didn't have time to come and do my first campfire. So we're gonna do that today.
Pretty excited to cook back on the campfire and making meals and all this. We're gonna
make it simple today. We're gonna make just just to enjoy nature today. Enjoy nature kitty.
So I think before I made the fire kitty and I gonna go for a little walk because she just like
she just want to go right now. So I'm just gonna burn a little bit of energy. We're gonna go check
that little spot beside the lake beside beside the lake beside little creek. We're gonna cross
the creek and check that out and make the fire after. She's running. She's got energy.
This way kitty. She can cross but she can't cross fast. Wait for me.
She almost pushed me in the water. She just ran. Those rocks are slippery kitty.
Wow you're crazy. So for my Thanksgiving lunch dinner you know I did eat all day so far so I'm
so hungry. That's why I'm starting so early this campfire. We're gonna make some stuff.
We have bell pepper on the I don't know if I'm gonna put them on the Dutch oven or I don't know
and I wanted some boxes pile because I'm obsessive boxes pile boxes probably you know that
but I didn't have any sold out and I didn't want to do more store so we're gonna have some potatoes
so maybe I should start with that. Okay everything's here. Everything's here. Oh my goodness.
Potato. I think I'm just gonna have one that we're gonna cook on the parchment uh onion
flour sorry and because one big potato like this take forever to cook I'm just gonna cut
into chunk. I think the filling for my um pepper stuff bell pepper I think
I think it's a good half an hour of cooking at least plus the bell pepper itself.
So I think we have a good hour to cook. So I'm just gonna put a little bit of oil.
Don't need too much. Salt, pepper, a lot of black pepper and some thyme. A good amount of thyme.
Um I think I'm gonna put the onion a little bit of onion in. So the recipe for the stuff
red bell pepper uh they were asking for lentil. I thought that lentil. I thought that green lentil.
It's a split green pea so that's what I'm gonna do but I think they will cook longer. It's uh
20 to 30 minutes. So I'm gonna let the peas cook for 50 minutes. I'm gonna put the quinoa
because it's gonna be a mix of quinoa. I'm gonna put the rest of the ingredients like we're gonna
put some sun-dried tomato, onion. I'm gonna cut everything while this is cooking in a way
and cook for another 50 minutes and after that I think we're gonna be
gonna be able to assemble and start putting that on campfire. Let's check this out.
Oh they look pretty. We're gonna put them a little bit further. They look pretty good.
So I decided I'm gonna cook them in aluminum foil and and see and I do have a lot of mixture.
I'm just gonna keep that and put that over rice or something else or just eat like this.
So while this is finishing cooking and I guess we are doing a Thanksgiving dinner
um I want to say a big big big big big thank you for all of you guys to following me
to be in the comment section to be so kind and amazing people. Seriously I do have
the best community and it's quite amazing and I don't say that enough but thank you guys and um
yeah I hope if you are celebrating Thanksgiving I hope you're gonna have a nice Thanksgiving
with your family or friends or whatever and if you're in the states and you celebrate in the
month but I hope you're gonna have a nice one. So I think I think it should be ready.
This is the potatoes.
All right this is my little my big Thanksgiving dinner. Let's try this. Try the potato first.
Oh my god it's so soft and so good. So uh oops so the bell pepper
or like charcoal a little bit which is what I wanted.
Oh yeah pretty good.
So great to have a couple of like things that I need when I'm cooking outside. You know like
baby wipe dispenser the garbage is right here. My little kitchen that uh I need to put a couple
more things to make it a little more like useful and as I want it but it's great. So while we are
outside might have know that a little while ago I bought this little pouch with a bunch of cutlery
that I was thinking about putting in the back there that I could open it. So let's stay here
and we'll open like this. Yeah I think that will work and I know a lot of people in my video will
install this thing here. People are like oh baby do something stronger blah. I will install
uh kind of like something a safety thing in the back here. A little maybe a little arm or whatever
little piece of wood that I can flip out and that will rest on. That will kind of create a second
safety little thing other than just that string. This is the same thing that I did for my garbage.
The garbage has been there for a good month I think. The strings stay strong on this but I understand
that this ones may not be open as often as the garbage but it would be you know some stuff would
be heavier. So I will make that somehow this week or something. What kind of screw do we have? I
think I'm gonna chill a little bit here. The sun's about to go behind the mountain and everything and
I'm gonna go inside enjoy a quiet evening kitty and I. So this video was really about guys
telling you thank you to be with me all the time. I am blessed for a small channel. Smallish whatever
you want to call it. In the YouTube world I'm small so in the small channel I do have
a pretty big community like you guys show up in every of my videos that I post. I'm extremely
lucky that most of you join us in every of my videos and for someone to post quite often every
other day that means a lot. That means you guys being there no matter what we do. That we are in
the backcountry. That I'm renovating my van. That we go on a big road trip or a small road trip or
that we just chill in the van on a rainy day. No matter what you guys are there and it means
seriously the world to me. So I just want to say a big big and huge thank you and I hope you guys
gonna have a nice Thanksgiving if it's in the month or if it's right now or if you don't celebrate
Thanksgiving. I'm pretty sure some country don't celebrate Thanksgiving. No matter what I wish you
an amazing weekend and amazing day because I'm gonna post that on Monday. An amazing day and
I will see you in the next one. Now you see I'm gonna let you with Miss Kelly.
What are you doing? Oh little kiss. Thank you. Yeah you know they love me kiss.
