Pretty cool. What are you doing with yours, Sean? Stuffing this leg turtle with some stuffing that I made at home. Breading and seasoning, some dried vegetables, and I'm just going to stuff up the cavity. De-boned it already, and I'll put that in the reflector oven, or I did bring some tinfoil. I could do that as well, but since we have the reflector oven, I might as well use it. Put that right. And let it roast for maybe half an hour. Well, you can eat it. Tasty. what stroke seven days in the middle joke oh man it's good It's so good good man, oh good, yeah, the fish catching and eating grin for sure jerk-ass Joe goofy grin, boy, damn son, look at that, all done, that was so good not gonna eat the skin on this one but the next piece I do I'm going to eat the skin very very tasty, loving that reflector oven not such a shabby spot we We got a loon singing out there, ambient music. Sean's cooking up his stuffed trout with some tin foil inside the reflector oven. I believe I'm going to, no, not I believe, I am going to, I'm going to, I believe in myself. I'm gonna fry up my next filet. You already saw me bread it and everything, so I'm gonna put lots of lard, kind of deep fry it as much as I can in there. Super pumped on that. We are done. Look at that, greasy as ever. All right, she's done, folks. Give her a try. It looks good. Did I mention I was a happy boy? That's so good. That's so good. I got my water on the go. Got to wait like half an hour until it's ready. And I have... Pink lemonade powder. I'm going to put that in there. Have a grand old feast here, man. This is my favorite day. This is my favorite day of the trip so far. If you're wondering about the reflector oven that we were both using, I got it from a company called Canadian Outdoor Equipment, and the reflector oven is called a Svante Friden, I believe, Svante Friden, from Sweden, all the good things come from Sweden, just cooking up pretty good, just hoping to get everything squared away before the rain comes, if the rain comes, but right now, this is a very good culmination to our 7 day trip, 8 day trip, it's day 7 now, if you guys are interested in this kind of stuff, throw me a subscription, you're going to see a lot more of this, you're going to see a full trip video, Sean and I have been planning this trip for so long, it's been an epic trip. This is the end of it. You're just seeing a little portion of it. If you want to see the whole thing, the flight in, all the wildlife, all the ups and downs, the storms, the crazy sunset, the crazy moon rising, yeah, that's going to be a full video. That's probably going to be a two and a half hour long video.
