Ratio 1 cup liquid ingredients : 1 Tbl dry ingredients. mix well and let sit for 30 mins. Rub on steak - pork - chicken. Save the rest for next time. Keeps forever. Ratio expands to infinity.

You are an interesting, pleasant surprise, Rob. I've just discovered your channel like a few days ago and, at first, I was a bit set off by the fact that you talk during your videos. That's because I was used to other, somewhat similar youtubers that don't talk at all and I liked that. But you don't speak non-sense. Actually, you say useful stuff and sometimes, you're quite funny. So this made me subscribe and I'm almost binge-watching your videos. I love that you're camping in various environments, all seasons basically. Hardcore, one might say. I'm a camper myself from Transylvania but I'm not going out as much as I used to. Your videos help me enjoy the outdoors from afar and I thank you for that. Cheers! P.S. What camera gear do you use? Keep up the good stuff!
