Your little apple pies from the pie iron look SO yummy! My family had some pie irons when I was a kid, and Mom just used a couple of pieces of wheat bread for the crust. She buttered the outside of the bread and soaked some dried apricots to soften them and that was the filling. The pie iron cut the crusts off and sealed the bread. She also sprinkled powdered sugar on them. They were delicious! :)

These days I take one for each camper. it's really a camping necessity! Thanks for the video- your first day us much like mine except you eat better! I'm about to go buy that folding grill rack now.

I think I already commented on this video, but I wanted to comment again - I enjoyed seeing a day in the life. I’m recently obsessed with camping and you make it seem so casual, which I want to get to. Sometimes I feel like it is a ton of work for the amount of time I actually get to spend camping - do you feel that way ever ?

Pie irons are one of my favorites camp tools! Pie iron "quesadillas" is a use of them. Just precook the seasoned meat and/or veggies before the trip and store in the cooler. Wrap in a burrito sized tortilla with cheese and whatever other toppings you like, reheat and brown over the fire. It's a super easy first night meal and there is virtually no clean up.
