CAMP COOKING | Dutch Oven Beef Stew | Cast Iron Wednesday
Cast Iron Wednesday- Dutch Oven Stew on the Campfire
In celebration of the Second Anniversary of "Cast Iron Wednesday", invented by Dee and promoted by Sean I am participating in their monthly challenge. This month the challenge is "Stew".
I will cook beef stew in my Lodge dutch oven and utilize some cooking equipment I made myself.

I apologize upfront for the length of the video... sorry. Also, just so you know, the Cast Iron Wednesday challenge for March is “stew”... not just beef stew. Thanks for watching, and if this your first time watching my channel, consider subscribing. Most of my videos are not this long, but I’m usually outside doing something. Thanks for watching! - Chris
Carolina Chris Outdoors please don’t apologize
Calvin's Corner72 - Thanks Brother... I know some people don’t have time to watch longer vids, but I sure appreciate those who make time to watch ‘em! 😉
That was so good, Chris, that I'm watching for the third time, trying for no interruptions. ;)
thank, you criss. it's, all good we, all have things to do in life. 👍
Every once and a while you need to do a long one!
One of the best videos you ever did. I love these long videos you make. Thanks
Calvin's Corner72 - Thanks Calvin!!!! 👍🏻
Sean is the Cast Iron King! Good looking stew, and great news that stump is producing. Those stews can be thirst provoking. Great video Chris!
Your Old Pal Fernbark - stump season is getting here late this year.... and I don’t think it’s gonna last very long. We haven’t had a Winter yet, and Spring is almost here!
@@CarolinaChrisOutdoors That reminds me. I need to show Dave how to hunt stumps.
@@YourOldPalFernbark LOL.
Outstanding cook out there in the woods. Nice set up and addition to cast iron Wednesday. The horseshoe hanger looks sweet. Good shoutouts. Shawn kills it with the cast iron good stuff. Cheers Chris.
Survival Mindset - Thanks Justin. Sean definitely comes up with some unique menus!
I learned how to bake bread in a dutch oven over a campfire. I know how to bake bread at home, was taught when a little boy, made all kinds of bread at home. But learning how to bake campfire dutch oven bread is golden key skill. So, If you were out in the wild for days ...or SHTF, making bread opens a lot more things you can stock up, like PB&J , sandwiches, SOS. etc. So hunkering down in your camp baking a loaf of bread a day, gives a good chore,. There is a huge variety of foods you can stock and store. If SHTF, you wont have fresh bread at the store, you wont be able to get to the store, so you can make tuna salad, chicken salad, ham salad, grilled cheese, SOS, so many things you can prep and stock up when you know you can bake bread...even in the deep woods over a campfire.
That is a great skill to have 👍🏻
For sure, I thought that mountain house meal was going to land in the fire when you threw it. I have a few of those stumps around my way. Thanks for sharing
NewEnglandFish - I’m glad it didn’t burn up.... dang things are expensive! Ha ha ha!
Looks delicious... Going to do a beef stew next Wednesday.. weather permitting.. (maybe I can get a Texas Pete holster made by then)...hahahaha Great job Chris
Plain 'Ole Chuck - Ha! I hope you make yourself a hot sauce sheath/holster! I made that one a couple months ago... it comes in handy!
By god Chris, I was horrified for a minute, i thought that was a Bud Light 😅 Cheers and good cooking.,
When Bud L’s show up in those woods I’ll be looking for a new camping spot 🍺
Good looking camp set up nestled in the South Carolina pines. kick back , relax and let the stew cook. Life is good. Sounds like your neighbors are exercising a little good old American freedom . God bless America. Good stuff ! Cheers.
Yes Sir! It’s fun hanging out at my little camp in the piney woods.... Everybody around there shoots!!! I do too, but don’t show it too much in my videos since the YTube police don’t care for firearms.
Perfect setting for some homemade Beef Stew and a brew. Glad the stump is still producing. Thanks for sharing Chris.
Dave's Diversions - Dang, I wish I would’ve said something like a “Stew and a Brew”... that’s pretty catchy!!! Cheers Dave 🍺👍🏻
Nothing better than camp cooking brother. Low and slow brings all the flavors together don't it? Take care, Rob
I couldn't help but laugh When I saw him unclip hot sauce from his belt loop lol😂😂
Flint and steel fire warms your soul. Was it the meat, or Carolina Chris that was marinating in bourbon and Pepsi for two days? Stew sure looked good.. Lots of gravy to sop up with bread or dumplings or biscuits. Thank you for the fantastic shout-outs, Chris, and for sharing your Cast Iron Wednesday recipe with us.
The swing out tea pot hanger is ingenious. I am on the same page with you, coffee comes first of all.
Thanks for watching and commenting Jojo! Yes.... coffee is a priority everyday!
As always great looking meal thanks for taking us along.
I would say it is a winner hands down.........
Anyone can flick a Bic! Ain't no fun in that. Excellent camp stew Sir... Looked just fine to me!
Triumph Screen Printing - Thanks Brandon... I must say the beef stew was pretty good, and it was even better the next day!
I really dig your homemade tool and cookware items. Heck, that pkg would have been fine too, probably wouldn't have tasted near as good! Thanks for stepping up and doing this & showing us your beef stew....or stew.... I love your camp, Brother! Sean is the king...for real!!! Quite the chef in cast iron! And always been there every Wednesday 🍳😀👍🏼 CastIronCrew cooking stew at camp!! And I like that cool charger light thing
New equipment? I was using a phone that was coming apart and 100 cracks on the front screen....hahaha... I JUST upgraded today (finally) and trying to recover all my stuff. 😬😯
Dang....I gotta go stump hunting
It's all about good content. You are that good content bushcrafter. Enjoyed it. Mike B. MWW
Thanks Mike... I appreciate that a lot!!!!
No need to apologize for the length of your video. I enjoyed the whole thing. The stew looked good, I liked your Texas Pete quick draw holster, and your horse shoe pot hanger. Thanks again for taking us along!
What a great way to spend the day ..... the stew looked great
DeepInTheWoods73 - It was pretty good! Thank you!!!!!
great looking stew chris its always good to get out
...........Great looking camp, Chris...........everything about it spot on.....Don't worry about your vids being too long....you got the content to make them just right no matter how long they are....Looking forward to more....
looks a brilliant setting .
Texas Pete in a holster 🤣 love it. Nice camp you have made. Thanks for sharing
Mighty fine looking stew Chris! I'm a Pete fan as well, sometimes just Louisiana, but usually gravitate towards Pete. Enjoyed this one. Gonna have to get in on some of the C-I Wednesdays. As you know I like outdoors and Dutch cooking. Think it could be fun to be a part of..... Anyways, really enjoyed this one. ATB to ya!
Heck yeah Man! You need to cook some kind of stew, any kind.... check out the links in my description box for other “Cast Iron Wednesday” folks.
Love cooking in cast iron stew looked great
Excellent as usual. I really am going to have to stop watching your ''cook ins'' just before bedtime. Love the ''hot sauce pouch'' !!
You jumped on that challenge fast. Great video, excellent. Looked like great stew. I plan to make a stew this month. Thanks and take care Chris.
No need to apologize at all Chris nothing wrong with a 20 min video. easier and faster way to make fire yup but Flint and steel are the most fun and cooler LOL looks like ya got all the good stuff in the pot , love the handmade camp set up very nice Chris . the stew looks really good and can't get over the Texas Pete holster LOL cool beans good day for your adventure,thanks for sharing oh ya you can forget the stump beer lol atb john
Great video! Thanks for sharing.
Thanks for watching! I sure appreciate the kind words!!!! 👍🏻
Hi Chris. Dandy looking stew you cooked up there. I thought you were really doing the Mountain House one first. 🥺 Nice flint striker and lighting a fire that way is more fun. The cooking racks you made are pretty awesome looking. The camp is really coming along. Soon you won't want to leave it. The camera gear your "film crew" uses is getting to be in rough shape. A Texas Pete holster....that is a first! Good to see the beer stump producing at the right time. I had some luck with my hunting last week. Video coming out this weekend. ......Take care, Mike
that's my kind of camp coffee, we still perk it at the hunt camp and its good but french press is the best ! put the stew together perfectly, and that hammock is on point . thanks for sharing
Took me 10 seconds of this video to know I would like and subscribe. This was exactly the kind of video I was looking for.
Thanks for watching.... and commenting!
Another awesome video. I have a couple of dutch ovens.. it's so fun to cook in them.. i need a campfire set-up like that. thanks for sharing Chris.
That was like a shake and bake bag, nice. But dang Chris, my mouth is already watering and you haven't even started cooking yet. LMAO, return fire, they're coming for your stew!!! And the Texas Pete Sheath was the best I'm crackin up right now 😂😂😂
Outstanding everything brother!
Have a great week Chris
well now Chris thats some good video right there keep them coming buddy and God bless you my friend
What an epic adventure brother. You're not only an artist but a damn fine cook. Love your Texas Petes holster haha good ol beer stump producing some goodness again. I need to get me a dutch oven... maybe one of these days
Thanks for taking us out with you Chris, what a beautiful day for it.
Great video...
That beef stew looked Awsome! I am from SC upstate & i collect cast iron cookware. I also cook in it every chance i get. I have several pieces that are very old.
Cool! I’m in the Upstate too. Thanks for watching... and commenting!
Mmmm yummy.
I really like your cooking set up Chris. Looked like you had a great time in the outdoors. Boy that stew looked great. Awesome CIW Chris.
Great video Chris, even the length. I like Sean's cast iron Wednesday. He makes some delicious looking meals and desserts. Nice carrying case for the hot sauce. Handy stump you have there. Stew looked excellent, go for the gusto and add the entire can of tomato sauce. Thanks for sharing brother 👍
Solid video. Great content for the community. Excellent adventure thanks for bringing us along
Chris, great video. Your videos are always a joy to watch. Your Texas Pete holster is surly a one of a kind. That part was so funny.
I never in my life seen hot sauce sheath. Bannock would have been nice too. Stew looked great. Thanks for sharing.
I'm going to have to spend some time with these cast iron masters you speak of.
Good looking camp there, Chris, it has really come along. Need to get me a bit more forged gear for my firepit. I love the spit and pot hanger. I do love my forged tripod as well though. I also add a bit of tomato to beef stew and my version of minestrone. I dont use much so I pretty much keep the squeezable tube of tomato paste in the fridge at all times now. One lil squirt in just enough for more most times. TC and ATB, Cris.
Looked real good. Lots of leftovers.
Howdy Chris- great video brother. The stew looks good and the fire pit and camp are awesome! It’s a lot of fun cooking outdoors with cast iron. Food just seems to taste better. God bless y’all
Whenever I see Texas Pete I think of you Chris.....nice holster for it!! You know....you can add anything to a stew. This one is delicious bud! Glad to see you got your priorities right at the end!!
You set up nicely. Good video. Take Care and Keep Exploring The Outdoors.
Great video, Chris. And great job on the homemade cast iron gear. The Beef Stew looked very good! I'd like to start using my Dutch oven again on camping trips. It's been quite a few years since I have. I usually think about it in the Fall and Winter. 👍
Carolina chris I'm a hot sauce addict too lol your hot sauce belt pouch is awesome man I gotta make me one
Yes! You must have one.... Everyone needs a hot sauce holster! Thanks for watching Daniel.
AZ Gunslinger
Great video, thanks a lot! I liked the yoke about the stew in a bag!!!!
Thanks for watching Jorge!
I'm glad i watched this at supper time............Thumbs Up
awesome Chris very tasty for sure. it was a great Cast iron Wednesday. i like your horseshoe pot hanger. i got a small horseshoe around somewhere, it keeps the pot from sliding around. that's cool fire pit gear you made up there. take care
Chris, thanks for taking us along again:) Cast iron, fire, and the stump always produce awesomess!
Hey Chris, try out that coffee press in your Stanley cook cup. Thats what I use, no worry or concern with using the glass.
Smellin good!
Great job there Chris , that stew is awesome. You made enough for home later too. Thumbs up to that cast iron goodness
Pretty cool video man! Love to see you still out there!
Looks amazing brother thank you for sharing stay safe and God Bless much love and respect always
Definitely the coolest way 🔥 Sean is great
you know we use two love cast iron pots but i tell ya after using some of these newer pots and pan sets like gsi ware they all nest together we got rid of them and never looked back.. plus it was nice two not worry about the darn thing,, nothing worse than ending up some ware and having a rusty inside...cool video
OK, this dude has hot sauce ON HIS BELT ROFL! Chris love how chill your video is. checking for more of your camp cooking videos.
Appreciate ya checking out the video... everyone needs a custom “quick draw” hot sauce holster! 😂
That corn cob pipe sold me!!! I’m subscribed!! 🔥🙌
great vlog 👍👍
This guys the hottest sauciest quick draw in the west ! love the holster!!!
HA! Thank you friend... I appreciate you watching and the nice comments 👍🏻
I cook with an outdoor dutch oven in my back yard sometimes. I liked your video.
Thank you. I bet your food is delicious!
Great video brother! I love your camp! Been watching these stew videos and boy oh boy they all looked so delicious! Thanks for sharing this my friend!
Kewl . . . YOU ~ ROCK ! !
-thank you 😁
Great video
Great vid Chris. I was thinking as the mountain house was flying towards what looked like the fire, dang, theres about $10 up in smoke. Then, the stump. I was thinking about what a bear does in the woods more than a beer in the woods.
Hahahahaha. You cracked me up with that mountain house meal. Lol
You are quite the outdoorsman Chris. Videos like these keep me sane, Love it
Thank you for watching, and I appreciate the kind comments too 👍🏻
Love the Outdoor Cooking set up 👍 Great looking Beef Stew. Just subbed. Stay Safe

@@CarolinaChrisOutdoors awesome . been missing your vids .
Chris, I missed this one a few years back, but absolutely admire your open-fire cooking "stuff", as you referred to your kit. Looks like it serves your needs well, my friend. Oh yeah, the stew looked yummy, too!
Thanks Tommy! Better late than never, huh? 😂 I hope things are going good for y’all up there!
Love the crow boys playing in the back ground :)
My favorite band! 😂👍🏻
First time seeing your channel vids tonight and i like what i dont hear. Too many videos on youtube of outdoorsman yacking all thru the vid. Thanks, now im a subscriber....
I'm watching this because I made some beef stew today. I must have said the word 'stew' a couple of times and poof!!... A couple of videos on beef stew come up in my feed. I love outdoor cooking as well, so I naturally clicked on this video. Interesting recipe. I might give'r a whirl next time round.
I had a discussion about hearing aids with my Mother In Law……… next thing you know, all I see is hearing aid commercials!!! Thanks for watching!
We laugh at that kind of stuff but it really isn’t funny at all. I’ll leave it at that
Chris YOU are the coolest ! 😎 Well..... I should say you got the coolest setup 🤩 Oh to have such a neat camp with beverage stumps that produce 😁 You had me cracking up at the Mountain House Beef Stew 🤣 I thought you just seriously might 😜 Sean is the Cast Iron King without doubt 👍🏻 Love your new hat by the way 😍 super cool ! Tasty looking stew man. And no apologies for your video length. I might have to wait until I can a lot appropriate time to watch it, but Dude, your content makes it all worth while. Your personality and back drops along with the content in your videos make every minute worth the watch. Awesome job buddy ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
oh man i giggled so hard when i saw your hot sauce belt strap , awesome video chris .. not to long my friend. billy joe
The stew looks delicious Chris. Nice set up
Hey Chris, thanks for sharing!! I need one of those hats... LoL. The beef stew looked great so how did it taste?? As always your camps appear to be well thought out and functional, wish I could spend some time outdoors like you do. Wishful thinking. God bless and keep on camping and making vids!!
