Making A Simple Campfire Breakfast in an Iron Skillet 

Hell, I do all the cooking. I won't say my wife is a bad cook but she did cure the dog from begging at the table

" I'm not saying this is the only way to do it, I'm just saying here's an option" Love the humility in that 💪🙏

“Poor people have poor ways” my grandfather said that very often when he was still with us. Usually while he taught us young guys how to get what needed to be done. It was wonderful to hear his wisdom again in your video. Thank you and my God bless you and yours as we head into this new year!

This man makes me forget about all my problems. We must protect this man at all costs. God bless.

Forget the cooking. What I got from this man is more nutritious than the breakfast. It is his philosophies. Take care of yourself and/or your wife. Keep it simple. Be self sufficient. We are so used to having other people doing everything for us. What a fountain of wisdom!!!

I love the fact that you’re telling young people to learn to cook. I was grateful my mom and dad both taught me how to cook, do laundry, banking, general house repairs and many other life skills… which passed on to my kids.

Dwayne, I'm from Iran, and I find your simple honesty and your manly ways not so much different from the seasoned men in my country making their own living off of their back and being honest loving people for everyone they meet we are especially friendly to guests, that's a thing with us Iranians... I hope someday soon you can come here and I can show you all our ways as you have done for us much love man

As soon as I heard this man speak and seen his set up I liked and subscribed. I may not be a ranch man or cowboy, but rather a city boy that's now a converted country boy. We need men like this again teaching the old ways like our grandparents did

Boy that bit about our bodies not being addicted to food, they’re addicted to taste, is so true for me. Thank you for pointing that out. I need to be reminded of that. 👍🏼

I've made breakfast tacos thousands of times in my lifetime, still there's something about watching a fella cook over a camp fire that is so relaxing. Thanks for sharing sir.

I learned to cook simple things at a young age and my wife and I taught our kids the same as well as have them make their own beds and lunches for school by the time they were six years old. As a firefighter I did a lot of cooking at home when I was off duty. I have four girls and a boy, who is the youngest. My wife passed on from cancer when the kids were young and I can definitely say it is better to have a partner to go through life with. Someone to share the good times and hard times and sunsets with. The kids are all grown now and on their own and I have a few grandchildren now. When my kids were young one of their favorite requests for me to make is what they called “wine chicken”. Just chicken with wine poured over(or bear) a few veggies and cover with foil and put in the oven. On Saturdays many times their request of me would be what they called an “I-Hop” breakfast. That was bacon, eggs, pancakes with bananas and strawberries. When you have a five year old with a hopeful smile on their face and tone in their voice as for “wine chicken” or an I-Hop breakfast, you just can’t say no.

I'd love to sip on some Whiskey and listen to this man tell stories all night.

Kent Rollins is terrific, but not everyone has a Big Bertha, or the smokers that he has. Thanks for showing us a very simple, yet delicious breakfast over a simple fire.

I'm married to the most wonderful Woman a Man could ever be blessed with and we share just about every chore around our homestead! Some food she's better at cooking and others I'm more suited for! She makes the biscuits, I make the gravy! Been married 42 years, this side of Jesus, she's the best thing ever happened to me! Love your videos, I'm a first time viewer and subscriber, be watching for more stuff!👍

I just came across the channel and man I can’t get enough! I’m 20 yrs old love anything and all things outside. When I grow older..I hope to be as knowledgeable and humble as you are. Cheers 🍺

I really appreciate that this man is making an effort to teach a younger audience. What I would give to have a mentor like this in every young man's life!

"It's always good to have someone like Momma to help ya." Yep, could not agree more.

Much respect for what you’re putting out here. It’s a much needed mindset for the next generations

This is what my sweetheart cooked for breakfast this morning. I love the heck out of her.

Hey brother just wanted to say thanks for all the words of wisdom. A lot of us young men don’t have fathers so your words are always very kind and firm. This bud light is for you. 💪🏼

Cast iron cooking over an open campfire with a soothing voice and telling a story of his love for his wife. This Man is wealthy in life's simple pleasures.It doesn't look like his cooking skills aren't to shabby as well. How refreshing to see. Thank you Sir! You made this old Hawaiian Man, Smile. Safe travels for You and Your family, Sir.

THANKYOU so much I am one of these people who can cook fine on a stove but balk on a real fire you have helped me so much by helping me think I can actually do it. Plus you include such gems of wisdom as… “You need to learn to simplify, part of slowing down part of Simplifying your life Is simplifying the basics and there’s nothing more foundational Nothing more simple than your diet what you eat”

I love the grace, wisdom and respect you showed here, including to Rollins. I really enjoyed this video, and will have to try it (with the prep of ingredients) the next time we go camping.

Spot on. All men need to know how to cook. That "my wife does all the cooking" or "I don't cook" arrogance is B.S. You're the man D!

This felt like home. Especially in this crazy world. Thank you for this.

This is my roots from growing up that hit the memory button of growing up. My Mom and Dad did this kind of cooking on our camping trips and I tried to relay this to my kids. Great job!!!

I love how real you are. And I love this because not everyone can cook and showing someone how to cook a simple meal is perfect. Got to start somewhere. I started with grilled cheese and Mac and cheese. Then soup from soup mixes and hamburger helper. Now, I can cook from scratch and can also smoke and bake.

Cooking over a campfire is not just for sustenance, its an experience that is unmatched. This is an incredible breakfast you have made here, but I can tell you... I have made simple packaged flavored oatmeal over a fire and it was THEE best damn oatmeal I have ever eaten in my life. The coffee or the tea, tastes better. Cant say what it is exactly that does this, and personally I don't know if I will ever figure it out, but it doesn't matter. Great family and lesson here, Sir. Thank you!

Reminds me of my late, great friend and neighbor, Paul Slagle, RIP my brother. Many a time out in the cedars and oaks, campfire and cooking, his philosophies were like yours. Slow and simple, this West Coast yankee learned the easy going Texas way from him. Real barbeque, not hamburgers and hot dogs, lots of front porch sitting and visiting...and campfire breakfast. Thanks for the memories.

What a delightful campfire breakfast and delivered by a kind personality. Blessings to you and your family!

I'm a trained chef and going camping for the first time, this video was awesome! I'm so making this for my family this weekend. Thanks for the awesome tips!

love your attitude, I wish there were more people like you and for more young people to really focus on how simple it is to be happy!

Brings back memories of camping with my grandparents. No RV just straight camping; Grandfather was a 32 year US Army Vietnam veteran. Taught me a lot on those trips.

This video helped me so much. Thank you for making and posting it. I just wanted to get started with cast iron on wood fire and this is just what I needed. Simple and straightforward. Many blessings to you.

It does not matter where you come from, we all love our families and what the best for them. I'm proud to be an American and see how you integrate your simplicity to this crazy world we live in. Dwayne, please keep up you way of thinking and spread the god values.

Every once in a while i run across something worth watching. I've got to tell you i enjoyed watching you do what i used to do all the time. Thanks for the memories Sir . They should teach this in schools.

I'd love to see more of these campfire cooking videos. The food looks great and I enjoy hearing you tell your stories

I do all the cooking in my family whether in the kitchen, grill or camp. Friends and family are always amazed on how I can make fantastic meals and have everything ready at the same time. My mother taught me.

I appreciate your pragmatic advice about not relying on others to always cook for you. There will come a time in anyone's life where they must prepare sustenance of some kind for themselves or perhaps others. Might as well have a bit of fun and make something tasty. I also appreciate your humble attitude towards what you're doing even though your high skill level is quite evident. Not taking yourself too seriously and realizing that one's shit does, in fact, stink are excellent qualities that I find lacking in many RU-vidrs and sometimes the average person in general.

Just came across your channel. Once I clicked "play" I couldn't stop watching, and I think it was all the storytelling. Something good about a campfire and stories. Thanks and keep it up!

I'm glad I came across your channel. Your relaxed tone, words of wisdom on family, & being self sufficient, along with the instructional camp fire cooking! Felt like I was there. Thx!🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗

I usually fry eggs over medium. But I've learned with scrambled eggs (especially in large amounts) you need to stop when they're not quite done. Otherwise, you'll have overcooked rubbery eggs in a puddle of water. Yours looks perfectly done. I'd want a bit of spice of some kind.

You are so right ,everyone needs to know how to cook a meal ,simple ,filling and not complicated,both my grown men are great cooks and this momma is so proud ! My mountain man and his significant other do everything together,build ,fish ,hunt and live off the garden they grow…I’m proud to know they will make it together no matter what !

That is my go-to breakfast, eggs n sausage, cheese in a tortilla, so satisfying and staves off hunger all morning. If I eat cereal I’m hungry in an hour again. High protein is the best. Good job Dewayne and Mama

Love the way you do your outdoor breakfast, you do it like my dad taught me, easy and tasty. Thanks for bringing back memories.

This is the first video ive watched on this channel. When you said good morning, I instantly wanted to stop all I was doing, take a seat and become alll ears to hear this wisdom and knowledge. ❤❤❤❤

"Manifest plainness, Embrace simplicity, Reduce selfishness, Have few desires." Thank you Sir for modeling good teaching.

I’ve been saying for years that these arts will die out if we don’t teach them. Thank you for doing a huge part in keeping the ways of our ancestors alive.

Totally agree, no need for 20 spices. Hard to beat the real flavour of the food, abit of salt,white pepper and onion does alot. Best wishes from Northern Ireland.

I love your comment about guys needing to learn how to cook. I am the youngest of 9 children, with the 7 oldest being sisters. I learned to cook, clean, sew & mend, and do all the stuff that I needed to survive. College was a lot easier and less expensive when I didn't have to pay to have these things done (or worse yet, they DIDN'T get done). One of my first challenges was in Junior High. I tore my pants on a sharp edge of the food table in the lunch room. I went down to the Home Economics room and the teacher asked if I wanted to sit in the closet without my pants while she fixed them. I said, "No thanks, I can fix it myself." I took the sewing patch kit into the back room with me, and fixed up the jeans myself. The tear was about 7 inches long, and I really did a butcher job of a repair, but I had the satisfaction of doing it myself. . I also don't think you're trying to be like Kent Rollins, but I will say you look and sound a lot like actor Ed Bruce.

Thank you! I just acquired and restored a rusty, crusty old 15" whopper of a cast iron skillet, and was looking for a good way to use it out camping, and at home, where I altered my fire pit to be a camp-cook set up. A friend made me a nice tripod for my dutch oven or blue enameled coffee pot. Skillet will go on a 6" high expanded metal trivet. I made the home version set up in case of emergency cooking, and discovered guests LOVE going over and ladelling out their own portion of our 4-bean baked bean dish, our the gravy for our biscuits 'n gravy. Thanks for being yourself!

I really miss the men who raised me and you remind me of a few of them and also remind me of how blessed I am to have had it that way :) love and light to you and yours!! Prayers up! Comfort and strength to endure 😊

I love seeing every different cooking perspective, Kent Rollins, you, everybody. We are all learning to be better cooks no matter where we are in terms of knowledge and experience. I would love to see more of these videos for sure!

Man, that old fella has really good advice for us young fellas. You must know how to cook simple meals. God bless you sir.

Sending love & blessings to you, Momma & the family!!! 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🕊️🕊️🕊️❤️❤️❤️

Loved the video! As an avid camper, my favorite part of camping is cooking over a campfire or camp stove. I like to keep it simple and use simple ingredients also and the smell of outdoor cooking along wirh the pure pleasure of it is one of the greater pleasures of life to me.

First video ever watching and got an instant subscribe from me. I'm a simple country boy that as much as I hate to say had to move to the city to better provide for my family and seeing wholesome videos like this brings instant flash backs to me being young out and camping and hunting making fresh camp fire meals.

Thanks so much! I don't know if you will ever read this.... I am simply a recent subscriber to your channel. The way you stand your ground for your beliefs without being ugly, with your words, is admirable to me! I am a pipe and cigar enthusiast. I work for a lucrative potato farm in Alberta Canada right now... but I am originally from Georgia! Long story on this stuff.... Anyway... Thank you, and God bless you and your family!

Dewayne and Mama, I don't know how I came across your channel, maybe looking for a simpler way of life, but I can't get enough! Your wisdom and insights are needed in this ever changing world. Thank you for letting us learn from you!

I like this man's style, not trying to knock anyone just trying to offer a simple, plain, hearty way of cooking.Cause time is limited and life is hard enough. Great video sir.

I can't even begin to tell you how much I like to eat a breakfast in the outdoors and I love the setting you are cooking in. I feel lucky to have been exposed to camping, outdoors and cast iron cooking. Love dutch oven cooking too.

I recently made this breakfast outdoors just like yours. It was fantastic. Best breakfast I've ever eaten. Thank you Duane

Sir you are 100% correct you realization of the importance of momma in your life and just enjoy what you have is refreshing

I've watched this one a couple times and all your videos are well done, simple like talking to a best friend, informative, and entertaining.

An old man once told me that I’ll never regret learning how to cook for myself. He was right

Sir, your advise has been working in my life. I thank you and pray 🙏 god keeps you around to keep spreading your wisdom.

This is exactly how I cook at home and camping !! Love it 😊 been taught from early childhood how to cook for myself and it’s the best tool in my tool belt today !

Enjoyed this video very much. Love the outdoors and folks that take time to educate us. God bless you all on your travels.

This......this is the most calming thing I've ever seen. So simple, laid back, and just down to earth. Thanks for sharing!

Jesus this man is brilliant and so wise…my god, learning so much from his stories throughout and advice as he is cooking. Thank you.

One of the best breakfasts I ever had was camping up in the Rocky Mountains and the guides who had the horses made us scrambled eggs with hatch green chilies from a can and cowboy coffee with simple Folgers. It's amazing how good things are when you keep it simple. Looking at Life through a prism of gratitude does wonders as well.

Just discovered your channel. Love it. We all need to simplify our lives. I look forward to catching up and watching all your videos!

Well you had me when you said that you vow to look after your wife, and there are times when she won't be able to cook - good on you for that. You are very accurate when you said that everyone needs to be able to cook a simple meal, and a simple meal certainly beats any of those freeze dried camp meals that they sell. Here in Australia, we usually have a 4x4 with us and either an ice box or a fridge, and lots of us eat very well when we are camping. Having a fire and a camp oven and cast iron is all that you need. We definitely have a roast of some kind with vegies every time we go away. Cheers mate....and good on you about self-sufficiency, right on!

This is a perfect, simple meal and great way to start the day. I been doin this since I was a kid with my Dad on a river bottom. And it's the best food in the world! Great job Sir!

I can’t like this video enough. SIMPLIFY. Thank you for this! My head spins when I see recipes with 30 ingredients. Some real good food can be had with just a few good ingredients.

This Texas family’s favorite Cowboy channel is yours and Deanna’s!!!! What gorgeous Tennessee ranch country. What a powerful group of neat and blessed people are your you tube family. So pleased to be a new subscriber!! 🤠🤠👍👍🙏🏻🙏🏻

I'm a HUGE Kent Rollins fan but this what I'm talkn about...SIMPLE and something the common person is going to do or relate to. Great job, just sub'd!

This brings back memories of my childhood. Traveling stopping along side the highway. Mom and GrandMa cooking breakfast or dinner. Thank you.

I've fixed that every year at deer season at the truck, and I fix it for myself a lot through the year, awesome video thanks.

Heck, I for one, would enjoy seeing this channel and Kent's channel, due a Joint video!!! Good people coming together and giving sound advice!!

Another great video and some helpful info. One of the things that got my wife interested in me in the beginning was that I had learned to cook over a fire. She liked it and found it manly; a tip for the young fellows 😉

Great vid! You remind me of my grandpa, he's very straight forward & always told us to rely on ourselves.

Your voice is like Sam Elliott's, deep and stern but also kind and compassionate. It stops a person in their tracks and demands they sit down and listen because some old school, right livin' wisdom is coming. Your setting brings back decades of memories of camping and cast iron cooking with the extended family. The family is scattered now, I'm alone and am too disabled to camp but I still use my cast iron to cook with. Thanks for sharing your breakfast and wisdom with us!

Good morning to you both. A friend of mine reuse’s small soda bottles to bring eggs to camp. He cracks them into the bottle through a funnel and if the yoke doesn’t break you can still pour them out one by one or shake the bottle for scrambled eggs. I love your channel and philosophy on life.

Just found you. Good to know there's folks like you with great advice and everyday cooking outside techniques. You sir cook like I do on a fire. Thank you for sharing.

I really enjoyed this show. Nice, simple explanation. Easy to understand. Great job.

I really do appreciate the advice you share old-timer, I am far, faraway in New Zealand, and I wish I had an uncle like you.

This is just what I need. Simple old school.

Sat, here in Ashland MT I was feeding cattle and horses hay and "cake" at - 28deg F, I could have used a simple hearty breakfast like this. Outstanding video keep'em coming!

Just watching this brings back smells and memories of camping/cooking this way n 60s Boy Scouts. Then later with my own children n our large backyard.

There's more than just cooking breakfast here and I agree with you 100 percent. The breakfast burritos look great and the self sufficiency part is what's lacking nowadays. I really enjoyed your video.

Wow! Funny all the comments about cooking below. What Duane is talking about isn't about cooking...it's about living. Love your content, sir...just watched your excellent videos on cigars...and can't wait to watch more. We all need to take life like you do. Thanks for reminding us!

I love the cooking but I love the life lessons even more! Great job and great video.

I'm here for the first time. And I'm excited for my daughter and especially my 8 year old son to see your videos. He's an old soul. We will all watch together, so I can explain and guide during the video. Thank you.

I love your cooking, I love your accent. I love your thinking. I love your easy way of looking at things. There isn't anything I don't love. Looking forward to catching up on all your videos. Thanks for sharing.

Nothing better than a scrambled egg, sausage and a warm tortilla cooked outside! Yummo

I'm so glad I found your channel!! I grew up in the Peruvian Andes mountains and we lived completely off the grid, we used to cook over the flames though. The other day I cooked deer stew over the flames, it was very tasty but I didn't like how my camping cast iron dutch oven is stained now. Very important lesson I learned from you! "Don't cook over direct flames"

I love this wholesome family stuff, and i love outdoor cooking.

I got a good one for you to try. You'll like this. I mix store bought lunch ham, the rectangle kind, dice it up and mix it with eggs and cheese in a container you know. Then I dice potatoes bout salad size and some diced white onion. I put them in a skillet with water , Salt and margarine, not alot of water just enough to keep the potatoes from browning too much. I cover it for a little bit. Once that's done I take the lid off and dump in the egg mix and then cover it again but not too long. I check it and stir it till the eggs are done and it's pretty great. I learned that on an Indian reservation in Washington State. I think you should make more campfire cooking videos. I like yours better because yours relate to everyone. Few people have the resources to have a wagon train kitchen but everybody has rocks, Tupperware, wood, and a skillet. Thanks for the video.

Beautiful relaxing video! Simple is usually the best way to go! 🥳
