I love hearing you say the things Texans say, I miss all my country folk back home. "if you hold your tongue right" I say this in Arizona to a lot of people and always have to explain.... thanks for you vids and I hope things are going well for you, haven't noticed any updates so far. thank you thank you thank you and speedy and full recovery
I discovered your channel today, your videos reminded me of all the survival/primitive living classes, practice, and books I've read. I taught a small survival skills school in Boulder CO for years, one thing led to another and that became a part of my past. It's always felt off in a way and I haven't practiced since then. You reminded me of what's been missing in my life the last 6 years, I owe you one.
Thanks so much. Great video. You're a rare personality who appears both militaristic but native and wise at the same time! Good man. Slán from Ireland.
Great demo. Fast forward tri pod demo in particular. Clearly showed the process without the usual 7 minutes of repetition while the host babbles endlessly trying to fill time. Less is more. Keep up the good work.
that structure is how a friend and I use to do it all the time but the only thing we did different was built a halfe way shield around three quarters with a quarter opening and a closed top about 2 feet over to top of the tripod and my friend had a lot of cherry trees in his lot so he said that the fish always had a fruity smell but overall still tasted like fish lol. I never ate the fish I always wanted to stirfry and cold smoke the fruits and veggies, above all you did an awsome and excellent job with this video Bob, really a very good job my friend.
Excellent Video clip! Sorry for butting in, I would love your initial thoughts. Have you researched - Diyhloern Phrenic Dominion (do a search on google)? It is a smashing one of a kind guide for preparing you and your family for any crisis minus the headache. Ive heard some unbelievable things about it and my friend finally got cool results with it.
i dont mean to be off topic but does anyone know of a trick to get back into an instagram account?? I was dumb lost my account password. I would appreciate any tricks you can give me
I feel like I would survive in some sort of event, but I don't think I would thrive. I have been watching a lot of survival videos to try to change that, and appreciate the videos. thanks
I do bushcraft for the fun of it and to get away from society for a bit... more like a sport or a hobby than for preparation. If you just go outside for a couple hours a day a few days a week and do this stuff for fun it adds up and you would still have the skills in any kind of event, however unlikely it may be.
Such an event is not unlikely. In fact, a true nationwide disaster than last for many years is inevitable. It's just a matter of when. The odds are rated at one hundred percent. All we can hope for is that it doesn't happen in our lifetime. But it can happen any day. Dirt times is what will save you, but it has to be the real thing where you actually use those skills to shelter and feed yourself. Shelter and feed yourself WELL. Taking food and everything else you need to survive into the wild isn't going to help much.
I'm glad you made this video. last year I tried something similar, long story short I ended up with food poisoning. After watching your video now I know what I did wrong. Thanks for the great information. I will definitely take your advice next time I smoke fish
Catching up on some older videos. I really enjoyed this one. I was raised processing most all of what we ate. I can't agree more with your closing comments! Awesome information great presentation!
Another awesome video! Most of the other survival guys (not counting Wooded Beardsman of course) are so boring to watch. You provide quality information while keeping the viewer intrigued. Never lose that charm and wit you got brother!
this, preserving, is probably the most important aspect of long term survival.if shtf, and no electric. i would imagine most folks would perish during the first winter from starvation.
Siong Wei Wong i agree. in the tropics i can see having year round supplies of fresh food. but where i live. knowing how to preserve is the only way to make it through an entire winter.
where do you guys live? and do you know the nature there? If iam not catching pike in the spring/summer iam catching trout in the streams in the winter, or big perch in fall/winter, the fish moves about and will be caught most effectively seasonally. Many leafy greens, which we now adays sees as weeds, are edible and stay green throughout winter -i live in Southern Scandinavia - it gets cold. Even in arctic conditions there should be an available food supply year round - bear, birds, fish, seals and other sea mammals. And talking about arctic conditions, food preservation isnt as big an issue as in the tropics Many roots and seeds should also still be available during winter.
I am a paraplegic but have a 11 year old son. I am pretty healthy but have to stay that way and survive to finish raising my so if shtf. I am researching and watching as many survival viseos as possible. With today's political climate in America, everyone should be doing like I am. And stock up on everything you possibly can to survive. And do not put all your eggs in one basket. Everyone needs to not forget about farming. Get as many (reproducing if possible) seeds, fertilizer, sprays, and starting soil too. Beans have plenty of protein and turnips can survive very harsh winters and can be grown in all seasons. The German army survived off of turnips in the last year of the war. We all need to learn from each other and wait for the dust to settle from the first year. Those that do not prepare will be dead by then and the rest of us "could" survive and thrive in small groups. Without groups or small communities it will nearly impossible for us to survive long term. After all, we are merely humans.
I have to say that this is one of the best primitive survival/living videos I've seen. Very well thought out and we'll demonstrated. I'm glad you acknowledged the wind issue, because I was thinking that you may have wanted to block the wind some how. I also liked your ending note about the health safety issues with smoking in this fashion. You get a thumbs up and a sub from me bud. I'm going to check out some more of your videos for sure. Job well done.
I was thinking the same thing. Guy takes his own time to show you a technique and people vote him down? I love seeing new or different twists on things.
All of these videos just makes me wanna become a Boy Scout. Learn with rope,lighting a fire, using stuff in my surroundings to build stuff like this,an oven,a bed, a hut, weapons such as spears,knifes, a axe etc.
ive learned a ton by watching ur videos, yea i know some stuff to possibly survive if i ever got lost or in trouble but wasent sure if i would actually survive. now watching some of ur stuff im certain id be ok for a few days/weeks. thanks for the videos
Excellent video Bob didn’t expect nothing less, I and my family give you thumbs up. Bob best wishes hope you have a speedy recovery and get back on the road again we praying for you mate really are, chin up. Best regards to your family ok. 👍👌🇬🇧
I personally use pine to smoke and can fish all the time, I think it gives the best flavor. Where I live we don’t have mesquite readily available. However we do have mountain mahogany which is really good when I can get it. Also the main thing in smoking is to get rid of moisture that is what gives mold the opportunity to grow and spoil food. But if you have salt that also helps a lot. Great video!!! Love the oven. God bless!!
Do you kiss your mom with that dirty mouth? Such language doesn't make you sound tough or grown up, it just makes you sound like a low IQ teenager trying to act like a grownup. I don't know your age, but it's certainly higher than your IQ.
Hey man your videos are the best. No bs, straight forward and super helpful. I’ve lived in the city my whole life so Idk if I’ll ever use these tips but I love your videos regardless. Keep it up brother
hey just a suggestion try using a cloth tarp or burlap roll to protect against the wind. I picked up a roll of both material from the farm store for a steal and have had a great deal of success.
I love this video and the oven build video. I wish we had stone like that here in the PNW. I come across Shale every so often but, never close to my bushcraft camps. 😆 hope your health is still coming along buddy. Love your videos.
Great video. If you have nettles throw them on the fire. Gives the smoke a stronger flavour and (presumably, I'm not a food scientist) makes the smoke better at disinfecting your food. (White) sage can be used as well.
You’d learn a lot about the primitive live, where have you learn all about that, I am my self is a primitive from east Malaysia, livings in small town in the east. And yes we did the dry salty fish in the salted place(inside the village house). This is the second of your videos I have watched. Very good videos Bob.
Keep up the good work bud, more people need to know how to take care of themselves in the wild. I enjoy all of your videos and have even learned some new stuff I didn't know before. Keep em comin.
@Shufei Yes! " This fellow earned my subscribe by simply doing well and demonstrating in a humble manner." As I said above, he's both militaristic / scientific, and native humble and wise at the same time. Really liked his down-to-earth nature, not to mind good quality video production techniques all round.
Emanuel B there are an insane amount of them. Wish I could remember the name of this one guy's Channel he has some of the best ones for cooking. Try looking up mr. Ramsay the owl that should take you to his videos. But his are just cooking videos, but Bobs channel is way awesome!
I just found your vids today and they're fantastic (at least the few I've watched)! Thanks for the knowledge! BTW - I live in South Texas and that is, by far, the largest Yucca I've ever seen!
dude I never get bored watching your vids ..always something interesting to learn from them and thats what i am about is constantly learning new things ...those babies ought to be good side eating with some beer once they are done ...question what about soaking them in some Soy Sauce or Teriyaki will that have any negative effect on the smoking process as far as preservation of the meat ?... PS I uploaded a couple of new vids recently one is called "Instant noodles with Mideastern smoked meats " I actually tried to do some fishing that day but the current was so damn stron kept ripping the bait off the hooks so we decided to do a quik vid instead .... the other it has nothing to do with the outdoors but youre welcome to chek it out man its Easter in our city ... take care bud and keep em coming ...
+Arm Mihr Soy sauce or teriyaki will actually more thoroughly kill bacteria in the fish by creating a highly anaerobic environment, then just do what he has done.
Looks like some of The Hill Country in central Texas where Bob Hansler is. I'm glad so many young people are learning old time survival skills. Granny T in TX
I like how he says, about the Spanish Yucca plant, there's no way I will be able to eat all these and continues to tear the whole edible part down, lol I am a hard core out doors man and really enjoy these videos Gimme a thumbs up if you do too!!!
Cool fact, every bloom that wasn’t smoked and eaten.... completed it’s transformation into a viable pod with seeds. They have enough energy in the stalk. Will have to time lapse it one of these days.
Makes me want my dry fish back in the village in Alaska again haha thanks for another way to do that to my fish then just building a small house for it all 😄
that is great friend. thats how we from the island of Borneo, preserve our fish and meat some of the time except we do not hang the fish or meat.. we lay them on the woven platform and let the smoke take care of the rest... when they are dry they are ready to be eaten..
If you smoked those fish correctly and for long enough, which it certainly seems like you did, then they should be perfectly ok to eat as is, aside from maybe rinsing as much of the salt off as possible. As for mitigating the wind and concentrating the smoke around the food, to keep things in a more natural state, a good way to do that is to get some thickly leafed branches and hang them around the food so as to trap the smoke around it and create an environment more conducive to smoking. I don't know what kind of trees would have branches that would best suit this purpose in your area, but I've seen people use this very same method and shelter the food with banana leafs and palm fronds to block the wind and concentrate the smoke around the food. I doubt these types of plants grow in your area, but I'm sure that there would be something ideally suited for this purpose somewhere in your area.
Yup Yup, og history of salt trade here in Texas. Different types from different sources have their strong and weak points depending on use. I''ll have a series on the different acquisition methods here in the next few months. Needs to be shown, so that the ignorant trolls that do not understand the importance of salt in long term survival can move on to something else.
Landscape in Europe is a bushcrafter's dream :P Unless you live in Germany where you have nothing but cultivated land. Even then there are still some wild areas, though few.
"Germany where you have nothing but cultivated land." Depends what you mean by 'cultivated', there is a huge amount of forest, but I agree there's not much you could call 'wild' as in northern Canada, for example.
A few questions: What did you mean alternate in layers of salt? "salt, fish, salt, fish" Roughly how long would these be good for? And you said even after doing this, you would need to cook them before eating correct? Great video
As I clicked this video, I wondered " *Is he a prepper?* " Then I read the description: " *This should be seen as more of a post apocalyptic option* " and had the answer to my question.
Hello Bob. We're several years down the line. I was looking for some jerkin' vids just to see if there was some tips out there I was missing. Out of the 10 billion survival vids here there is almost none which absolutely nearly blew me away. Ought to be Survival 100. Go figger. All that said I hadn't thought of smoking fish. It's still done here and there of course, but not so much here. You did extra good! But we didn't see you make a stew from your haul. Nobody in my state would eat a shad. Ha. Super thanks for your presentation! Upvoted and subscribed.
Love that natural rock oven! Not a huge fan of the time lapse in the body of the video though.
7 років тому+7
Looks good. I watched a video before yours, these people were cooking on a rock over a flame. I instantly thought, why not build a whole oven to fix those cold spots. And here I watch your video, just what I had in mind!!! And hehheh, I am a city boy born and raise in Seattle. But I got range of skills. Oh ya, and you can build a little mini farm. Even in Seattle, I grow tomatoes, green onions, garlic, jalapenos, squash pumpkins (what ever them things are called). thai peppers. I got family in yakima that grows like a mini farm. Jalapenos, tomatoes, and more. And their friend's let me take boxes of apples and potatoes when I leave to go back home. We dig up the potatoes our selves.
Just subscribed. I found your channel like today and your already one of my fav. Keep doin what your doing. Your going to have a very successful UA-cam channel!!
Do you need to worry about cross contaminating the salt with the raw fish? Thanks for the tips, I'll remember this and use this knowledge if I ever get stranded.
"Tend the fire day into night, and into the day once again." This stuff is biblical. Love your videos.

great video , cold smoking is still used today just basically in a box to confine the smoke so its not to much different
Removing the gills helps to let the blood leave the fish improving taste and texture.
+worddunlap Excellent tip.

The blood however is high in sodium and other minerals so if you actually need them it's worth leaving blood in the meat

Fine techniques and an excellent presentation. You just got a new sub.
If you smoked those fish correctly and for long enough, which it certainly seems like you did, then they should be perfectly ok to eat as is, aside from maybe rinsing as much of the salt off as possible. As for mitigating the wind and concentrating the smoke around the food, to keep things in a more natural state, a good way to do that is to get some thickly leafed branches and hang them around the food so as to trap the smoke around it and create an environment more conducive to smoking. I don't know what kind of trees would have branches that would best suit this purpose in your area, but I've seen people use this very same method and shelter the food with banana leafs and palm fronds to block the wind and concentrate the smoke around the food. I doubt these types of plants grow in your area, but I'm sure that there would be something ideally suited for this purpose somewhere in your area.

Needs to be shown, so that the ignorant trolls that do not understand the importance of salt in long term survival can move on to something else.
Hi . I am a big fan and can contribute also.
Awesome video, thanks for the info. It`s bad I live in Europe and the landscape is totally different ...
Landscape in Europe is a bushcrafter's dream :P Unless you live in Germany where you have nothing but cultivated land. Even then there are still some wild areas, though few.
"Germany where you have nothing but cultivated land." Depends what you mean by 'cultivated', there is a huge amount of forest, but I agree there's not much you could call 'wild' as in northern Canada, for example.
Europe is way better for bushcraft if you can find a forest tho....
Bob please do a video or two on different types of knots.
A few questions: What did you mean alternate in layers of salt? "salt, fish, salt, fish" Roughly how long would these be good for? And you said even after doing this, you would need to cook them before eating correct? Great video
"If smoking is so bad how come it cures fish?!"
that is why i smoke, to preserve my meat.
Ah ha
Solid pun, definitely stealing it
@@kingjeremysircornwell7847 hahaha good one folks
As I clicked this video, I wondered " *Is he a prepper?* "
Then I read the description:
" *This should be seen as more of a post apocalyptic option* "
and had the answer to my question.
Hello Bob. We're several years down the line. I was looking for some jerkin' vids just to see if there was some tips out there I was missing. Out of the 10 billion survival vids here there is almost none which absolutely nearly blew me away. Ought to be Survival 100. Go figger.
All that said I hadn't thought of smoking fish. It's still done here and there of course, but not so much here. You did extra good! But we didn't see you make a stew from your haul. Nobody in my state would eat a shad. Ha. Super thanks for your presentation! Upvoted and subscribed.
Love that natural rock oven! Not a huge fan of the time lapse in the body of the video though.
Looks good. I watched a video before yours, these people were cooking on a rock over a flame. I instantly thought, why not build a whole oven to fix those cold spots. And here I watch your video, just what I had in mind!!! And hehheh, I am a city boy born and raise in Seattle. But I got range of skills.
Oh ya, and you can build a little mini farm. Even in Seattle, I grow tomatoes, green onions, garlic, jalapenos, squash pumpkins (what ever them things are called). thai peppers. I got family in yakima that grows like a mini farm. Jalapenos, tomatoes, and more. And their friend's let me take boxes of apples and potatoes when I leave to go back home. We dig up the potatoes our selves.
I've always enjoyed smoking fish, but it's just a real pain getting them lit...
(Sorry Bob, I saw the opening, had to take it, bro...) :)
Good video and good advice at the end.

You are one real fine knowledgeable and sharing farm boy! :D
good stuff, bro. i was wondering what youve been up to lately lol
Junkyard Fox wow i found you, love the vids
Very very good video with very very good information Thank you
Wondering if you can smoke these without salt in an extreme survival situation? Would that work?
11:10 Love the sound of those birds in the background!!!
Love the video Bob! I need to get some more yucca from you guys!
Had cold smoked trout today - store in a fridge once cured, but put in room temp for ~30 mins for max taste!
Do you need to worry about cross contaminating the salt with the raw fish? Thanks for the tips, I'll remember this and use this knowledge if I ever get stranded.
10:14 "If you're lucky, and you hold your mouth right, you can go ahead..." haha that trick works on everything
in indonesia we still do this method and its a common thing to eat smoked fish
It's like a little closet, nice and warm for all those little tasties😋
