Who doesn't love #pie!?! In this video, Ken does what he calls his "camp pie." He calls the pie this because it was commonly made at the hunting camp. This is a #fruit, #pecan, and #creamcheese #pierecipe. In this video, he just happened to use #blueberry pie filling. However, you can use #strawberries, #cherries, or whatever fruit you like. If you have a nut allergy, you can easily substitute the pecans with buttered #pretzel pieces. KEN'S CAMP PIE 9" Frozen Premade Deep Dish Pie Crust 6 oz. (170 g.) Pecan Halves, Chopped (5-8 Halves Reserved) 8 oz. (226 g.) Cream Cheese, Room Temperature 1 c. (130 g.) Confectioners Powdered Sugar 21 oz. (595 g.) Fruit Pie Filling (1 Dollop Reserved) 16 oz. (453 g.) Whipped Topping (As Needed) Preheat your oven to 405°F (207°C). If your oven cooks cooler or hotter, adjust accordingly. Let pie crust defrost for 10-15 minutes. Dock the pie crust using a fork along the bottom and sides. Chop the pecans into pieces, fill the pie crust with the pecans, level, and place in the oven to bake for 15 minutes. (NOTE: If you are trying to save money, or worried about nut allergies, you can substitute the pecans with about 1 1/2 cups of busted snack pretzel pieces coated with 3-4 tablespoons of salted butter.) While the pecans (or pretzel pieces) are baking, mix the cream cheese and confectioners sugar together in a bowl. When the pie shell is baked, take a look. Ken usually likes to put the shell and nuts under a broiler for a few seconds to get a nice golden brown. When done, quickly remove the hot pie shell onto a cooling surface and place dollops of the cream cheese mixture on top. Lightly, and quickly level out the cream cheese mixture. Place dollops of the fruit pie filling over the cream cheese filling and level out. Lastly, using a large knife or spatula, place dollops of whipped topping along the sides and level out across the top. Decorate with reserved nuts and topping (or fresh fruit). Place in a covered container and let sit in a refrigerator for a minimum of two hours (overnight is preferred). Blueberry and strawberry or cherry pies make a perfect #independenceday #dessert combo to bring to any #party. As Ken says, "If you make this, you're going to be popular!" #cooking #southerncooking #dessert #recipes Thank you for watching. Please remember to like, share, and subscribe!

For a while, Ken has been trying to set up an additional #budgetcamera for special angles, extra footage, etc. for his #fishing and #hunting #videos. During #AmazonPrimeDay, Ken saw a deal for a #HAFGYKIO #actioncamera . . . which he ordered. In his deep sea fishing video, Ken explained how his wife also bought him a #goprohero10 as a surprise! If this HAFGYKIO camera works, it'll be the perfect addition for Ken to use in his #outdoor filming. However, before that, the camera must be put through its paces as it is tested out. In this video, we will see Ken test out, and do a #productreview of, this #videocamera. Immediately, the box said it was an #IP68. When Ken opened the box, it said #Viran. What other oddities will Ken's #review reveal? Is it comparable to the #akaso and #gopro? You'll have to watch to find out! Thank you for watching! Please give this video a "like" if you found it helpful. Please comment down below if you have purchased and used this camera. What was your experience? Please share with any #contentcreator friends you might have who are looking for a budget action camera. And, if you haven't already, please consider subscribing . . . it's FREE!

In this video, Ken orders a @vivitarofficial EIS 4K Ultra HD Action Camera (model 923KIT-BLK) from @eBay as a candidate for a #broll #actioncamera. If you have never heard of Vivitar, it is a very old camera optics brand that is now owned by Sakar International. Ken ordered this #budgetactioncamera from#ebay as new and unopened. Well, you'll see what happens next. Remember, this is an #unboxing and #trying video only. This is not a #review video. If you like this channel, there are ways you can help support us.

In this #video, Ken goes on a #saltwater #fishing trip with his good friend, and fellow #youtuber, Ricky Wallace of @wallaceknifeworkshomesteadfish. Specifically, they were going out to target #sheepshead with the hopes of maybe tying into a #redfish or #blackdrum. Ken urges you to watch the Wallace Knifeworks video of this trip at: https://youtu.be/pikrxZPWHAI The majority of the fishing video content was captured on the EK7000 camera from @akasoofficial.

Well, Ken is on "restriction!" His wife has laid down the law after a #nightfishing mishap setting bush hooks for #catfish. Watch this #fishingvideo to find out what happened while #riverfishing, why his wife will never let Ken go out night #fishing again, and what really happened. Truly, this fiasco could have ended tragically. Naturally, there will be a #catchandcook afterwards where Ken does a traditional Northwest #Florida #friedfish supper with #coleslaw, #cheesegrits, and #hushpuppies with #jaleno #peppers and #onions for his wife. Along the way, Ken also has some neat things to show from a #grebe to strange items catfish eat. Thank you for watching! Please like, share, and subscribe.

In this video, Ken does a little #recipe #experiment by creating an Americanized #turkey #mole. Aside from being the national dish of Mexico, #turkeymole is rich and historic. A true mole uses #chocolate, #spices, #fruit, #peppers, and more to create a complex sauce. There are literally hundreds of moles with some having roots back to pre-Columbian indigenous cultures. Ken's take on a mole is to use premade items to capture those iconic flavor profiles without having to roast and cook for hours or even days like some recipes call for. This is indeed not a traditional recipe. However, it is great for any type of wild game or leftover meats. Moreover, it should be modified into festive hors d'oeuvres for #cincodemayo, #christmas, or a #newyearseve party. PICO DE GALLO 6 Roma Tomatoes, Diced 1/2 lg. Spanish (Yellow) Onion, Diced 1 Poblano or Green Bell Pepper, Diced 2 Jalapeno Pepper (Optional), Diced 2 Limes, Zested and Juiced 2 bunches Cilantro, Destemmed and Chopped Sea Salt, to taste Tajin, to taste Mix all ingredients together, cover with plastic wrap, and store in the refrigerator a minimum of an hour before serving. (NOTE: For this recipe, Ken now recommends all of the diced and chopped ingredients now be finely minced into a fine relish). FESTIVE MOLE BITES 1 tbsp. Toasted Sesame Oil 1/2 tsp. (plus 1 tsp. later) Ground Cumin 1/4 tsp. Allspice 1/2 tsp. (plus 1 tsp. later) Apple Pie Spice 1/2 tsp. @McCormickVideos Peppercorn Medley Grinder 1/2 tsp. Granulated Garlic 10 oz. (283 g) can Red Enchilada Sauce 10 oz. (283 g) can Green Enchilada Sauce 1/2 c. Peanut Butter, Creamy 3.17 oz. (90 g) Dark Chocolate 1/2 gallon bag Smoked Turkey or Other Smoked Meat, Pulled and Shredded 1 tbsp Peach Preserves 1/2 tbsp. Dried Oregano 1 tsp. Chili Powder Yellow Corn Tortillas, As Needed Neutral Cooking Oil, As Needed Shredded Marble Jack Cheese, As Needed Water, As Needed Sour Cream or Mexican Creme, As Needed Preheat the oven to 425°F (218°C). In a large skillet, set to medium-high heat, add the sesame oil with the cumin, apple pie spice, allspice, garlic, and peppercorn medley. Pour in the enchilada sauce. Fill the cans about 1/4 full, swirl to get ingredients out of can, and pour the water into the skillet. When up to a boil, add the peanut butter. Incorporate well and add the chocolate. Once the chocolate is incorporated into the sauce, add the meat, preserves, oregano chili powder, and the second addition of the cumin and apple pie spice. Mix well and then start to brown, stirring constantly until the meat is dry and has good caramelization (about 10-15 minutes). Turn off heat. In the video Ken used street taco tortillas with regular muffin tin. He now suggests you use a tin for mini muffin mignons. He also suggests you use large yellow corn tortillas and cut them into squares that are about 1/4 inch (6 1/3 mm) larger across than the mignon indention. Using only a drop or two of oil, oil front and back the first square and place on a paper plate. Oi the top of each additional square and place it on top of the preceding square until you have stacks of oiled tortillas. Place the paper plate in a zip top back, with the zipper open, into a microwave on high heat for approximately a minute. Lay the soft tortillas over the mignon indentions, use a wooden spoon handle to press them into the receptacles, fill 1/3 full with the meat, and place in the oven for 20 minutes. Top the bites with cheese and bake another 5-7 minutes until the cheese is just melted. Remove from heat and let sit a few minutes before topping with the pico de gallo relish and using a squirt bottle to top off with either sour cream or Mexican creme.

Lately, Northwest #Florida has been hit with a bout of #cold weather dipping well below #freezing. So, Ken decided to do a #Southern #chowder by raiding his freezer. Are you ready for some Southern chowder for a cold winter night's supper?7 Thank you for watching! Please like, share, comment, and subscribe. It really helps the channel. KEN'S SOUTHERN CHOWDER 1 lb. (454 g) #Hog #jowls or Thick Cut #Bacon, Cut Into Lardons 6-8 ears of Corn, Kernels Cut Off Cob and Cob Scraped 2 lg. Potatoes, Peeled and Diced 24 oz.

(907 g) Chicken Broth 1 pt. (473 ml) Heavy Whipping Cream 1/2 c. Corn Starch 1 TBSP Dry Ranch Dressing Powder 1/2 TSP Cajun Seasoning Water, As Needed On medium heat, in a large pot, render out the lardons of pork until brown and crispy. Remove the meat from the oil, raise the temperature to high, and fry out the frozen seasoning blend. When onions are translucent, lower the heat back to medium and add the corn and potatoes. Add in the cayenne, onion powder, garlic powder, black pepper, and seasoned salt. Stir and cook for about 5 minutes. Raise the temperature back up to high and add in the chicken broth. Stir well, lid, and cook for 10 minutes. Lower the temperature to medium heat and cook another 10 minutes, stirring occasionally. Mix together the cream, cornstarch, ranch dressing powder, and cajun seasoning in a bowl; making sure there are no lumps. When the potatoes are cooked through in the chowder, pour in the cornstarch and cream slurry into the chowder and stir vigorously until the chowder is bubbling and thick. Add water as needed to get the viscosity you desire. Adjust for seasoning if necessary. Serve hot. #cooking #cookingvideo #southerncooking #easyrecipe #comfortfood

Recently, Ken went shopping and found a can of #RoseBrand #canned #pork #brains. Since he hasn't seen this in the stores for almost 40 years, he decided to do a #fried brains and #eggs #cooking #video. If you love cooking with #offal, you will definitely need to watch this video. Thanks for watching!

In this video, Ken takes a look at a tool he's been using now for the past few months. It is the @greenworkstools 40 volt, 2 amp hour, 11 feet long pole saw. Is this #batterypowered #polesaw junk? We'll find out as he does an #honestreview.

In a previous video, Ken went #fishing Labor Day. Due to crowds, he had to maneuver his #trailer in such a way that he hit the dock when trying to load up the #boat. This busted his back taillight. His side marker light also went out. Since it was cheaper to retrofit the boat with #LED lights, that's what Ken did. In this video, you'll see how he does a #boattrailer #upgrade by installing #ledlights. Thank you for watching! Please remember to like, share, comment, and subscribe.

As Ken notes, this #fishing video was made in late summer and then it just kinda sat around for a while as "life" happened. The whole purpose of the #fishingtrip was for Ken to catch fish to give away to others. This is a #Southern #tradition to support your #community and it harkens back to the Native American roots many Southerners have where the community, and not the individual, matters most. In this video, Ken was just going after "meat." There were no real expectations. He was not targeting #bass yet he saw them and cast at them. He was not targeting #bream (or "perch" as @PelicanBoneOutdoors would call them) or #redfish or #catfish either and yet he attempted to take them. This is as about as Northwest #Florida a fishing trip as you will find. Naturally, the unusual heat of the Deep South made this trip dangerous. Elements of this trip were not filmed where Ken was alone and in medical distress. The #heatindex or #realfeel #temperature was over 110°F (45°C) that day. Even with water and food, heat exhaustion became an issue. Please! Always heed the safety warnings of weather reporting authorities. No fishing trip is worth your life. We're also excited to announce the channel is now airing on #YouTube, #Rumble, #Odysee, and #Twitch. If you are watching use on one of these platforms, please say hey to us.
