[0:00]I'm in the process of making chili

[0:02]Outdoors on a very windy day that Lake

[0:06]behind me in my

[0:08]crockpot all I have to do now is is a

[0:10]hamburger meat I just got to figure that

[0:12]part out well this is remarkable I am

[0:15]actually cooking in here I have no idea

[0:19]like how much propane you should be

[0:21]using you know when you cook stuff like

[0:24]this no

[0:26]idea might take a while I have no idea

[0:30]but I hope I don't run out to cuz I

[0:33]think 11% which is what my propane says

[0:35]is actually 0 to 11 I could be really

[0:37]close to

[0:39]out so I guess we'll find

[0:42]out really hope this works out I would

[0:44]love to have some

[0:46]chili probably more meat than I need of

[0:48]course um I could find at the

[0:52]store Oliver is being in total pain

[0:55]today that that's the one that will just

[0:59]terrorize you

[1:01]forever no apparent reason you

[1:04]know cuz that's his

[1:07]personality love him

[1:11]dearly he just gets in the way a lot you

[1:13]always got to be watching out for

[1:16]him you a lot more hamburger me than I'm

[1:18]going to need I guess I'll take half of

[1:21]it and turn it into

[1:24]um my my version of Mexican food

[1:28]basically tacos

[1:32]so that'll be

[1:33][Music]

[1:35]good

[1:36][Music]

[1:43]D know this is cooking pretty

[1:47]fast I'll show the SEC here I'll get

[1:51]better at this guys I'm going to be like

[1:53]Caroline and show you me cooking all the

[1:56]time

[1:57]so you know

[2:01]I kind of aspire to be like her I really

[2:03]do um we have very different

[2:06]personalities we're very different kinds

[2:08]of people right but her lifestyle I

[2:12]inspired to her

[2:15]lifestyle

[2:16]um I think that she does an excellent

[2:19]job of just you know living off grid and

[2:23]um managing her life you know and all of

[2:26]that I love what she shares I love that

[2:28]she shares her or indoor life or outdoor

[2:31]life all of that that's what I want to

[2:33]do I've just been frustrated lately CU

[2:36]it just feels like a lot I'm really

[2:41]overwhelmed worried about that cing out

[2:43]that

[2:45]door super windy out maybe that door

[2:49]just blows open I don't

[2:52]know we are right on the water this is

[2:55]different so I don't even know where

[2:58]to nor I don't I don't know I'll

[3:01]manage Oliver I have let you out like

[3:04]five times now I don't think you really

[3:06]want

[3:08]outside Bailey's just chilling out there

[3:12]you know my chil's just over there we'll

[3:14]be out in a

[3:16]minute so that's what we're doing

[3:18]tonight finally you know I

[3:21]haven't it's first time doing

[3:24]this um starting to feel like I really

[3:27]love here

[3:30]I've been leaving off hot dogs by the

[3:32]way up until I ran out of them and

[3:36]stopped you know I haven't eaten since

[3:37]yesterday today it's Friday so

[3:42]Wednesday you know it's last time I ate

[3:45]um

[3:47]starving so I'll get better at this just

[3:51]the

[3:52]process I know I keep saying it but I'm

[3:55]saying it to myself too you know

[4:00]yeah this will pretty fast so there are

[4:03]challenges like I couldn't figure out

[4:04]like like I don't want to put the like

[4:07]so I took you know I have beans in my

[4:08]chili of

[4:10]course and I was always taught to drain

[4:12]the liquid from those beans and then

[4:15]rinse the beans off but I didn't want to

[4:17]put that stuff down my tank so all I did

[4:19]was I just drained the beans into a a

[4:22]plastic bowl like you know plastic bowl

[4:26]and then dumped it um I got to get

[4:29]better at that like what am I going to

[4:30]do with the grease of this hamburger me

[4:32]I don't know so it's obviously not going

[4:35]down to

[4:36]drain um I would have even done that at

[4:38]my house it be clear but I just

[4:42]um not

[4:45]sure I guess I need something to put

[4:47]grease

[4:49]into my tobacco cans will

[4:52]do I did it home but I don't know what

[4:55]you would do with like the tomato juice

[4:57]from

[4:58]the um from the beans you know and stuff

[5:01]like that I have no idea I'm going to

[5:04]need to cut up some garlic I need to cut

[5:05]up an

[5:07]onion

[5:08]um just does feel challenging there's no

[5:11]doubt about

[5:14]that but I will get the hang of this

[5:17]it's goinging pretty good over here I

[5:19]hope that you guys are having an

[5:21]excellent weekend by the way see it's

[5:24]Friday I am so thrilled to I my mom

[5:26]found my journals oh my God I thought

[5:29]they were gone forever that's

[5:31]like that is just I I'm very lucky I

[5:35]guess I I must have put them in there

[5:38]and didn't don't remember doing

[5:40]it you know wanting to keep them

[5:44]safe

[5:46]um glad I did that that's

[5:52]good so yeah half of this oh I'm not

[5:56]even on the burner guys I'm terrible at

[5:58]this I really am

[6:00]also these are very small burners so

[6:03]like you can't put lots of pans up there

[6:06]I

[6:07]don't me I'm very curious tell me if I'm

[6:12]crazy probably I am but would you turn

[6:15]on multiple burners for just like one

[6:17]big

[6:18]pan he probably wouldn't would you but

[6:21]it feels like that's what you're

[6:22]supposed to do

[6:24]here um I bet some of you complain about

[6:27]me using this metal um

[6:30]spatula I wouldn't blame you

[6:34]either but when I cooked my burgers on

[6:38]the grill that one

[6:39]day I didn't have any metal ones so now

[6:42]I have metal ones and I don't have

[6:44]wooden

[6:46]ones might have some down there I'll

[6:48]have to

[6:50]look this is my first time using this

[6:53]fan too when I started my journey here

[6:57]um wanted a new life I wanted to let go

[7:01]of the old and start with new things

[7:04]largely you know I'm not you know and

[7:07]give my stuff away and just you know

[7:10]stuff like that but turns out um

[7:13]Brandon's friend gave all his stuff to

[7:14]his mother didn't keep any of it trying

[7:17]to help a guy but he helped his mother

[7:20]so how can I be upset about

[7:23]that I'm technically not supposed to say

[7:25]anything I think Brandon didn't want me

[7:27]to know but I'm not upset Brandon it's

[7:30]fine

[7:32]um which people would be

[7:35]honest that's all not you obviously your

[7:39]friend

[7:41]um felt good about helping him well I

[7:44]feel just is good about helping his

[7:45]mother so it's all

[7:47]good you know I would do the same for my

[7:50]mom so you know he must be a good

[7:54]person he did that for his Mar so not

[7:58]going to complain about

[8:06]there hope I don't run out of propane

[8:08]that was really

[8:12]suck let me just take a

[8:14]check from what I can tell this thing

[8:17]tells you things in 11 percentages or 33

[8:20]percentages so you you know it says

[8:26]11% oh man you just I just

[8:30]you know it could be 0 to

[8:32]11

[8:34]um I'm going to deal with this so figure

[8:36]it out just don't want it I really would

[8:39]prefer to do it when we leave here

[8:41]because I don't want to put the Cs to

[8:42]that I even want to just kind of hold

[8:44]off of the tanks if I can that thing

[8:46]does say 66% on my gray tank

[8:50]though um that might be hard you know

[8:52]over the course of a week but I'll

[8:55]try cuz I'm I do think that I'm going to

[8:57]have to give my cat spend a drill I

[8:59]don't know any other

[9:02]way um and I need to find them a thatat

[9:04]somewhere you know I want to do it

[9:08]safely and maybe it's not benad I'm just

[9:10]using that as um a synonym for

[9:16]aeta they just they're going to need

[9:18]something to make

[9:20]them how clean these

[9:24]things this Grill top thing come

[9:27]on very different I like this

[9:32]though almost

[9:35]done we don't have to be all the way

[9:37]done because you can put it in with your

[9:39]crock pot and I'll cook the rest of the

[9:41]way it can be a little bit pink I think

[9:44]I always assumed oh by the way guys

[9:47]never trust my cooking don't take advice

[9:49]for me on

[9:50]that except my chili I'm very good at

[9:53]making

[9:54]chili I

[9:56][Music]

[9:57]am and spaghetti

[10:00]spaghetti and chili I like my version of

[10:03]Mexican you shouldn't call it Mexican

[10:04]though it it's not

[10:06]really I mean if you're just putting

[10:08]taco seasoning and hamburger meat

[10:13]and some cheese on it that that's what I

[10:16]do I'm so

[10:18]simple

[10:19]but I then that's good I like

[10:23]it I wish I could make Mexican pizzas I

[10:27]had one in Mexico once when I was a kid

[10:29]kid I will never forget it oh my God was

[10:32]it good thinking about

[10:35]it very

[10:38]hungry I'm going to pause this for a

[10:40]minute I am genuinely going to need

[10:42]somebody to tell me if this me off cuz I

[10:45]don't

[10:46]know I'm not going to lie this is a

[10:48]little bit messy I am just not good at

[10:51]this sort of thing but I'll get better I

[10:54]have to get

[10:56]better um put some in the chili

[11:00]already there two I had three of these

[11:03]bowls full of full of hamburger

[11:07]meat I put two of them in there it's a

[11:09]little bit full now but a lot of it's

[11:11]liquid so we're going to go and deal

[11:12]with

[11:13]that it is so windy out guys like

[11:16]nothing is everything's going all over

[11:19]the

[11:22]place see if we can do this

[11:26]though just I got too much tomato sauce

[11:29]in here and I thought I might end up

[11:30]with this

[11:33]problem um this won't be easy but I'm

[11:35]going to try my best here there you are

[11:39]Oliver

[11:41]oh well I guess it's going to be a

[11:42]little bit greasy cuz I didn't think to

[11:44]drain that better I guess oh well I

[11:47]don't

[11:47]mind I would eat

[11:51]it and I still need to put onions in

[11:54]here I'm not a big fan of onions but you

[11:57]know my mom's always saying put onions

[11:59]in or chili

[12:00]anyways generally I do but I do need to

[12:03]get my garlic that's important a little

[12:06]bit of

[12:09]garlic

[12:11]um I just don't know what to do with

[12:13]this other than just dump it into my

[12:16]trash so I'm putting it in a trash that

[12:20]I you

[12:21]know is

[12:23]supposedly very airtight it's not going

[12:26]to be a

[12:28]problem gu we'll find out I'm trying to

Summary

rswfire attempts his first cooking experience in the RV, making chili outdoors on a windy day by a lake. He cooks hamburger meat on the propane stove while managing low propane levels (11%) and dealing with his cat Oliver who keeps wanting in and out. He discusses practical challenges of RV cooking including waste disposal, grease management, and small burner limitations.

**Key events:** Successfully cooks hamburger meat for chili, transfers it to crockpot, manages propane concerns, handles Oliver's demanding behavior, observes tent camper nearby, completes grocery shopping trip ($230), reflects on social courtesy.

**Practical elements:** Uses crockpot and propane stove, disposes of bean liquid and grease in trash, purchases supplies including hamburger meat, hot dogs, Mountain Dew, and household items. Notes RV space limitations and need to organize pantry.

**Location context:** Positioned right on water in windy conditions, with tent camper visible nearby. Makes 30-minute drive to store and back.
