Truck camping w/ Buffalo Mac n' Cheese 

Does anyone else get a cozy feeling when watching these videos or is it just me?

We love mav

Mav never disappoints. He is living life for the fullest!

Dear Mav, that's not how you make a roux. Next time, melt your butter, add flour and have the flower absorb the butter. Then bake it until you smell cookies! Then add your stock/milk/cream. Try to make ragout, vol au vent, or scalpicon as wel. Scalpicon is the basis for croquettes. Have fun, from Friesland!

These are just the perfect way to wrap up weekends. It’s tradition at this point

That thumbnail just influenced the trajectory of my summer in 2024. It also motivated me to stay completely sober so I can reach my goals faster. Can’t wait to be out in nature camping soon!

Life is a garden. Dig it! Lovin’ these type of videos. Any anxiety or stress just vanishes watching these types of vids! Keep on trucking, Mav ya cool mother trucker! 🤝

pro tip: add the flour to the melted butter, then spend a couple minutes cooking just those 2 ingredients in the pan until it starts to go a very light caramel color, then add in a little milk and stir until it's combined, then slowly add in the remaining milk while stirring. also, you want the same amount of flour as butter. so 1 Tablespoon butter and 1 Table spoon flour i know it might seem like an unnecessary step, but doing it this way will keep you from getting lumps of flour, or that gritty texture you mentioned. also creating a proper roux this way will add some good flavor, which would help with the lack of flavor you mentioned. and if you need another reason to do it this way, raw or undercooked flour can contain some pretty bad bacteria that can make you very sick, and could of easily contributed to the discomfort you felt after eating. you most likely cooked it long enough, but all it would take is 1 little lump of flour that didn't cook all the way through and you could get hit by E.coli and spend the next week with abdominal cramps and peeing out your butt, and you're super unlucky your kidneys might even shut down. flour and things that contain raw flour like pancake or cake mix even gets recalled for reasons like this, but most people have no clue, but that's why you should also never eat raw cookie dough, or lick the beaters after mixing up a cake or brownies or anything with raw flour. so ya, that 1 little step of making a proper roux will add flavor, give you a better texture, help keep you from getting sick, and just give you a much higher chance at making a better end product in general. oh! and next time try the "ethnic foods" isle near the sriracha, soy sauce, and baked beans for cans or jars. and if the chipotles aren't there you can look in the spice/baking isle for dried and powdered chipotle.

Just found your channel, actually made my night a whole lot better. So relaxing and enjoyable, gave me time to think a little bit. Thank you so much Mav!

I just finished my truck camping build and you motivate me to start filming it! Camped in the truck a couple times before but with just a tent. Now I have a cap and full wood build going on, first trip this weekend. Love watching your videos for inspiration on what things I might be forgetting/ ideas on what to add. Keep it up and thanks for the entertainment

As someone who makes mac and cheese regularly, a few tips to avoid a gritty texture, Mav: 1: When making your roux, melt your butter until it starts foaming slightly and add the flour to this and cook it out. You can smell when this is done as it will smell nutty, then you can add your milk. Adding flour into the milk without cooking it can give you a floury/gritty texture and taste. 2: If possible, shred your own cheese. Nearly all packaged shredded cheeses use anti-caking agent to stop the cheese from clumping together in the bag which can make for a gritty texture, rather than a smooth one. If you are finding your sauce becomes gritty, these are the 2 most common reasons why. Hopefully it helps. :)

Man I get so happy when I see these Sunday night videos, makes my whole day, love ya Mav

My dad had an 05 F150 and got a 21 F150 7 months ago. Great upgrade, you should look for a newer F150, and set it up the same.

Very inspiring mav, I've been a viewer for a long time. Your ability to live the life you want and adventure so much while profiting off your own content is so cool. I'm only 25, you're living the dream man!

You are a blessing to humanity.. I wish you everyone had a nice heart like yourself.

Been living here for the last year and a half - and it has been one of the raddest experiences, I’ve got to say, the fall here is unreal with all the colors and the wildlife - if you like sledding, the winter time is also epic

Buffalo is a colloquial name for the Bison, because they are reminiscent, but not related to, water buffalo. Also, almost guaranteed that the Ground Bison is actually a "beefalo" cow/bison hybrid

This is some of the best outdoor content on the platform

Be careful dude, if a bear throws a bluff run at you, you won't be able to defend yourself, so I suggest you buy bear spray.

Combination of watching mav's videos on bed before going to sleep is so relaxing. Love ya mav❤

shoutout to Mav for the consistent and entertaining content! These videos are so relaxing and comforting to watch.

Put your flour in with your butter to make a roux so that the flour taste can kinda cook off then add your milk or broth to get it to the consistency it needs to be.

That morning shot was beautiful. Gorgeous!

Makes me miss wyoming. Best time of my life right there. Saw elk, coyote, bear, grouse, rattle snakes. Mule deer, antelope, ram, moose. Great fishing everywhere. The cattle. Wild horses. Good life out there

Tip on preventing that gritty texture from the flour: add your flour to your butter before the milk and let it cook slightly, then add the (cold) milk while stirring. 👨‍🍳

I see you finally got a Gun for protection good for you MAV! Stay safe out there.

Always wondered if Mav packed any protection incase of unwanted visitors through the night and at 23:33, I got my answer. Good!

That Hum needle drop takes me back. Fantastic band.

I absolutely adore watching your videos! Your food content is not just delicious but also heartwarming. As someone who deals with severe social anxiety and often eats alone at home, your videos make me feel like I have a friend enjoying a meal with me. Your genuine enjoyment of each dish is infectious, and it reminds me that even in the solitude of my own space, there's a world of flavor and joy waiting to be explored. Thank you for being a comforting presence in my life and for helping me feel less lonely through your wonderful content! 🍽😊

Bro chilling with Mav on a Sunday is the best way to end a weekend.

One of the best weeks of my life was van camping in teton national Park. Cooking good food...bumming around with my best friend. I think we even had some hum playing like u Mav.... thank you for this. I gotta get back out there..... "out back counting stars" - out from Maine

Mav is doing what Id love to go do . Keep on Truckin Mav. Be safe and God Bless

Poor white truck seems to be suffering from all the miles Mav has put on it 😂

Hey Mav. Most excellent video. Your cooking skills in rustic conditions is really impressive. I can't say for sure what you specifically have encountered, but often when making a cheese sauce, it is recommended to add the cheese while off the heat. Too much heat when mixing the cheese into the milk and roux can cause a grainy texture. Keep on trucking!

Lovin these fly fishing videos! I just returned from my first fly fishing trip to Colorado, Wyoming and Nebraska. It was epic. I’m brand new to fly fishing and totally hooked!

Mav always uploads bangers i don’t even have to watch it to know it’s a banger

Just want to let you know how much I appreciate you mav

Shoutout from Tillamook here! I haul milk from our local dairies to the Tillamook creamery. That cheese you got, I brought the milk for! Awesome to see a little touch of home in your vids, Mav! I really enjoyed tonight's episode. ITs like hanging out with a buddy and listening to his stories. Have a good one, Mav.

Love your videos came across them about 2 weeks. Instantly subbed and have been binging.

I appreciate you Mav your videos help me get through the bad days

Bro, that dish takes me back. My late mom used to make something similar. Burger instead of bison, shells instead of mac. And she did a 3-5 cheese blend. But it looked so familiar. Miss you, mom. Thanks Mav.

Hey, MAV, love your videos but may I ask that you please release them by 9:30pm Eastern time so us old folks can catch it before bedtime? Thanks. I haven’t been to Jackson in many years but I used to live in WY and actually knew a guy who rode a horse into the million dollar cowboy bar. Got jail time for that!😂

Love your channel Mav, and particularly love that your most popular/viewed videos are still the ones where you're camping in the bed of your truck!!

Love watching your videos Mav. Keep up the good work.

In mav we trust

Sundays always get better when I see that mav video pop up!

Thank you for showing off my beautiful home state bro. You’re always welcome in Wyoming!!

I live and travel vicariously through Mav.

Mav pours flour into a mixture of milk and melted butter and calls it "a roux". Where I come from we call that pancake batter.

mav always find a way to inspire me to get out into the nature more often and go on fun trips and explore ❤

In Mav, We Trust.

The guy is so genuine too it’s community

Let's go! There's nothing like a Mav upload before bed!

these sunday night uploads fuel me for the week I swear. thanks for all the joy Mav

im just so happy after all these years no one has ever tried to mess with or hurt mav

Thanks for making the best comfort videos

Typically cameras do not show how steep a trail is. Your trail to fly fish was very steep, it even was clear on the video. Thanks for sharing your journey. Cannot wait to see your videos from Yellowstone.

Mav, it’s worth the money bro. That’s your signature vehicle man! Nicely done bro 👍🏻👍🏻✊

Need to make a video camping with outdoor boys preferably winter!!

Maverly! The scenery never disappoints. Was fun to see da buffalo, too!

What a great way to end my weekend, Like always Thanks Mav!

Jackson is an AWESOME little town. Definitely recommend hiking around Grand Teton National Park and checking out the town itself a bit more next time you are out there. Great food and even better views! Amazing video as always mav!

As a former resident of Star Valley, Wyoming, glad to see you explore Jackson! I had my honeymoon there in 09.

Dream life dude, keep it up I love your videos

Thought this was going to be the real Buffalo Mac and cheese.

Mav, thanks for inspiring my little boy and me to go adventure - even if that means going out to our front or back yard to find something new and interesting. Keep making aspiring content. Thank you from us both! Tuck 👍🏼

Can you try and make a mexican platter next? On a mellow adventure, I recommend chilaquiles with 2 eggs and some mexican cheese. With mexican bread at night to finish the video!

You’re the man, Mav👏 Enjoyable video ♥️

If you add the flour to the butter before adding the milk, you shouldn’t get that gritty texture. Also, make sure not to make your cheese sauce on too high of a heat, because that’ll cause a grittier texture too.

I enjoyed this. Thank you Mav.

Hi Mav, would be nice if you could showcase more of the mornings in your videos. As always, love the vids ❤️

This is why i love my toyota truck, never disappoint

Dang probably missed you at that spot by a couple days. The fly shop gave you some good advice. We love that river ! If you hike all the way to where both forks meet the fishing is outrageous. Love the contnet man! Also thanks for bringing bear spray....they are thick up there.

Mav n’cheese

You stay busy. I like how you post videos every other day instead of every week. Thank you for your entertainment videos

Theses videos bring me back down to earth so calming and fun to watch

Love following your adventures. I do get ticketed when you cook enough for not only you but also that Bear outside.

Love your content, Mav!❤

Mav you should 100% do a fishing catch and cook that would literally make me so happy

I love that you were able to put the ingredients up as you were making the meal.

Good to see you Mav, seem like it was a pretty smooth trip, except for the truck issues. The scenery was beautiful. Keep Truckin.❤

Sunday nights wouldn’t be Sunday nights without a video drop from Mav!

Fly fishing is art in motion❤❤

totally did not expect to hear Stars by HUM at 4:30, great stuff

Mav...so good to see you with some bear spray!...though I hear that if a grizzly is upset with you, it won't do much but make it more upset....but it at least gives you an option! Also, liked that you skipped dirtien' a dinner plate...and just chowed down right out of the skillet! Keep on trukkin!

I love how mav keeps correcting himself by saying buffalo but proceeds to put buffalo in the name 😂 love the running jokes in your videos

Hey Mav. You always brighten up my day.. Your videos are amazing.. Have a blast, Enjoy!! 🐞🥰😁

That’s awesome I used to live in Jackson for awhile cool to see mav exploring it!

Love what you do!! You inspired me to start my own truck camping channel!! Been watching since 2018 love yea much Mav!!

There should have been chipotle pepper mixtures in the spices. Red pepper flakes might have been an okay substitute. You may have looked there. Looked good but I would not have included the flour, but more butter. I’m going to look for ground bison here in Ft. Lauderdale. Maybe Whole Foods or Publix will have it. Great video. Be careful pouring any food outside. Bears. ❤️

Nice catches. Yummy mac and cheese. Thanks for taking us along on this adventure

He should make a shirt that in the front it says howdy and keep on truckin on the back

*bison not buffalo

Mav is literally living the life I wanna live

Life is a garden. Dig it! Lovin’ these type of videos. Any anxiety or stress just vanishes watching these types of vids! Keep on trucking, Mav ya cool mother trucker!

So glad you're going to Yellowstone can't wait for the content brotha.

That bison mac looked crazy good, want to try to make it sometime

I’m making that tomorrow night. That looks so good

Absolutely beautiful place!❤

Thank you for existing, Mav ❤️
