there i put jocelyn's sweater on i know i'm stuck freezing we gotta make some lunch right now i just need to warm up first so i'm gonna show you what i call the mountain pizza it's because i want i always make it when i go out to the mountains going hikes and stuff it's basically an adult size lunchable so what i use is garlic naan get some pizza sauce some mozzarella and salami and you just put that together make a little pizza lunchable style you don't need to cook it you just put it together that's what we're going to make right now piecing on oh smells so good garlic naan okay spread that on there and then we have this reindeer salami that we got from canada or alaska actually and there you have it guys no mountain pizza it's so easy to make when you go on hikes or you need four ingredients bam bam bam put it together got lunch for four four people if you got a four pack four pack of none so really really delicious lunch on the go stop shaking i'm just trying to level out the marinara sauce the rock is so warm yeah let me hook you up with some cheese oh dude still love me there you go we got a little more so let me take some more salami are we calzoning them i eat it just pizza you just pizzaed it yeah gosling is calzoning that sausage is good yeah salami very good that was so cool there was probably a school of 20 trout down there yeah there's a lot just dispersed everywhere did you ever have lunchables when you're a kid no huh they don't have that in dice land we didn't have those in deutsche i'm shaking all the cheese off my pizza thanks no runoff oh yeah stupid snow water has to be so cold after your hand starts warming up it gets tingly i'm at a tingly stage right now great i've got that to look forward to yeah okay now we're gonna pick up the trap and we'll head to another spot find somewhere else to fish and probably i don't know if we're gonna dive again but we'll try to set the trap for the crawfish so we can get enough for dinner nice got one extra yeah sweet good size one too yeah i can't believe there's not more in there there you go all right couple more casts and let's get out yeah exactly let's get the heck out of here man there we go fish it is a rainbow oh he took the top one oh yeah zebra midge and pop him right off there he goes nice nice [Music] [Music] all right guys new spot there's a good amount of rocks right here it gets a little bit deeper and it's pretty calm so i think that's going to be a good spot for the trap right in that hole i got a fairly long line here so i can reach all the way over here tied to a rock should be good i'll start the drift around here yeah drifted through yeah perfect all right i know yeah we're going to try a little fishing to see if we get a trout maybe a brook trout see that right at that drop off down there good hit oh he snagged that one and broke off so we're gonna go with the bullet lure that sucks that was a lucky fly that a subscriber tied i might go diving for that as well yeah yeah i'm gonna get that back get back in volt lure todd nothing wow all right guys had a bite here didn't hook up but let's try to get him perfect cast here we go nothing all right can

know what something's up showing my hand in front and gonna go from the back he's surprised like what was that behind me oh yeah oh yeah meaty claws on a little guy this is the weirdest water to ever to search for crawdads in just a shallow pool there's got to be something under this debris all right you know what i'm going to grab my trap here oh yeah cool i'm really curious to see what's in there there's got to be something there's a lot of crawdads on the move oh it's full of full there's something there yeah there's a there's at least one two couple one's good there we go oh two eaters three you know three or four three nice job okay better than nothing nice job yes all right guys i think what we're gonna do now is we're gonna go make some dinner and then we're gonna check the trap later tonight all right come on crawl kids craw daddy's home unfortunately there's currently a burn ban in the area so we can't have any fires go right through here to our campsite well we got four more crawdads at least that's something and there you go yeah all right what's yours cheers success here's to not catching any fish we caught fish we caught fish no keepers no keepers yeah keepers we got and we got like 12 crawdads yeah killer i was happy we got any i had no idea if we were actually like if there were crawdads in this river so yeah all right well now you know there are so now we know yeah well now i'm gonna make uh since we don't have enough crawdads for a full meal we'll do a little appetizer and what i'm gonna make is we're gonna do like a crawfish boil but a viet cajun crawfish boil vietnamese and cajun fusion and that's actually a an actual thing in texas i believe in houston they do that and it sounds amazing and i've been thinking about it a lot since i've heard about it a couple years ago and i've never tried it but i want to taste it see what it's like so we're going to give that a go today no complaints here at all let's do it let's give it a shot so i have some ingredients here of course we got the old bay seasoning all right we got some ginger thai chilies uh we got the sausage we got green onions we got the corn we got the potatoes and we got the crawdads do you need to like keep the crawdads entertained or something while you're doing the vegetables uh yeah that would be good that'd be probably nice just like take him to the river and let him like take him on a walk real quick and bring him back yeah i think that sounds pretty good there they would appreciate that just the last moment like one more yeah one more sniff one more one more fresh breath of fresh water oh we also have lemongrass that's going to go in there as well we actually have um some albacore too that life caught just uh last week or so two weeks ago two weeks ago yeah so it's been in his freezer now i'm defrosting it we're gonna make some sashimi with that as well lemongrass oh i didn't even hit it rookie mistake does that just like break up the fibers a little and no it brings out the aroma the okay guys so it just gets the aroma yeah oh that cut that actually cut through oh wow it's tender tender corn or sharp knife all right got some sausage i'm gonna add the ingredients into this hot water here we go old bay seasoning i'm gonna put that in first that should be good i'm also gonna put some fish sauce we'll put the ginger and lemongrass in there as well let me taste it oh boy that is flavorful we'll throw the potatoes in too just go for it water's boiling let's get some corn in there as well yeah and we'll get our sausage in there too

death there you go bam we're going to boil these guys up for a few minutes and i'm going to make my sauce right now we're going to make this vic cajun sauce starting off with some butter garlic garlic herb butter all right i'm down with that and i'm going to use this lemongrass to mix it around that infuses the flavor of the lemongrass into the butter i'm just kidding no i'm just kidding i just don't have a utensil [Laughter] garlic and chilies will go in next this sauce is going to be spectacular i need my lemongrass again yeah infuse a little more lemongrass this is sizzling now i'm gonna put a little ginger in there i'm going to throw this old bay seasoning in there as well dash of that more lemongrass a little bit of lemongrass put a little water fish sauce and some honey honey oh yeah [Music] i'm going to finish it off with a little lemon juice throw everything onto this plate here make sure the yeah potatoes are cooked everything's cooked just gonna top it with some green onion here and i'm gonna put some green onion into the sauce as well pour some of that liquid right on top of them there you have it ladies and gentlemen this is my take on the vacation fusion crawfish boil this looks amazing [Music] smells amazing the fish sauce really comes through some bread here oh i want some of that let's do it straight for the burger just going right into it [Music] that's so good maybe just butter too spicy that's a good thing it's a good sign i just put it straight to my throat i'm going in for a crawfish that's beautiful all right i'm gonna dip it in okay that's the head sock wow that's the headset wow so much flavor [Applause] oh yeah i'm gonna break open these claws dude oh yeah that claws that's a big they're worth it yeah that tube the head juice
