- Hello and welcome back to the channel!
In this episode of the GROUND POUNDER SERIES, I’m excited to kick off a new series on camp cooking. We’ll start with a focus on canteen cup cooking to help you master solo cooking with a canteen cup cook set.
In this first part, we’ll cover simple beverages for the canteen cup. While it may seem basic, these recipes are often overshadowed by more complex cooking ideas. I hope you find this series helpful and enjoyable.

this begins the cooking series here in the first part we will deal with the canteen cups and later we will move on to bush pots and then skillets and finally big sets for groups like a dutch oven stay tuned and thanks for watching.
Hey Blackie can you throw me your email, I'd still like to purchase a Redhawk if possible
One trick that we used back in "the day" st breakfast time was to make our instant oatmeal first, then when we were done put more water on in the cup and make our hot chocolate - maybe with a slight oatmeal taste - when done put more water in the cup and make our coffee. When all was done the cup needed only a quick rinse and it was clean and ready to pack up and go...
true that works well i will be doing a running breakfast like that when we get to the bushpots
I used to keep a spare MRE spoon on my webgear. It was great because they were free and I could scrape off a bit of shavings and use it as tinder.
The best thing I ever found for cleaning out steel canteens and cups is to put in 4 or 5 false teeth cleaning tablets, and fill the thing you are cleaning with very hot water. After a few minutes, empty it and rinse it well with soap and hot water. It even takes out old tea stains.
Thanks for sharing!!
What a killer video blackie. I absolutely love your cooking demonstrations and tips. Please do t delete the old videos they are some of the rare gems on UA-cam
@@johnbensonism I’m definitely with you!! Mr. Blackie is awesome!!👍🏿💯🇺🇸
thank you
Couldn't help remember the Andy Griffith show where Andy was explaining to Opie about ratios and Opie said it hard to forget a half a boy . Poor Horatio. 😂
lol
Greetings Sir from Australia (again). Watching this threw my thinking back to 1976 & ‘77 when I first started eating Ration Packs ‘out bush’ in the Australian Army. We cooked everything over a little heximide solid fuel open stove. We all learnt quickly to crack open Ration packs back at base, and ditch what we didn’t like, or trade for things we did like. Many of us added a very small bottle of Tobasco sauce, or small containers of curry to add into our tinned meat. (This was well before zip lock bags). I don’t ever remember having a bad meal, just that some were more desirable than others. I was a tea drinker, or at last meal a hot chocolate drinker. All cooked in our aluminium canteen cup, over the hexi stove. I am pleased to see that heximide and the stoves are still sold here in Australia although in Great Britain heximide is no longer commercially available. I’m looking forward to making a brew in silence in the bush again.
i did something similar i would break down C rations meals or later M.R.E. n\meals to keep what i wanted and trade off what i did not
hi blackie, recently found out the brits add flavored hot chocolate mixes to their mres. have been playing around with the orange one. orange extract leaves a alcohol after taste. so far the best recipe seems to be 1 pack swiss miss dark or 1 pack land-o-lakes supreme to 1.5 tablespoons thawed frozen oj. the other day bought the xmre maple brown sugar oatmeal. the drink mix in this mre was the 'cool-off' orange sugar free. this drink mis when added to hot chocolate a 2 -1 ratio gives a hint of orange flavor. so a 1 pack hot chocolate to 1 pack orange drink mix seems about correct as both are designed for 6-8 oz water. when i had the overnight duty onboard lcu2001 during desert shield / storm a mid rat. for me was 1 cup beef broth to 1 piece mre bread. get a little salt an some bread / cracker. on the soup front, take campbel's or other brand bean & bacon soup mix according to directions. now add about 4 cooked bacon slices, diced / crumbs. in the salad section of your grocery you can find the salad bacon crumbs. usually the small .5 oz bag is enough for 1 can. season to taste. pepper. oh, back too the hot chocolate have tried trader joe's 'sticks' in this & plain. trader joe's is a bitter chocolate stick. have found i need to add 2 tsp sugar to the trader joe's sticks. at 31:45, so you want to do the brit 3-1 coffee mix home style customed. the other day i found 'sure fresh' containers. 10 to the pack, reuseable. 2.3 oz / 68 ml / .29 cup. this container sound like what you want for this project.
sounds interesting
@@BLACKIETHOMAS the orange hot chocolate has a recipe #5. this is the mre / camping recipe. crystal light has their orange / tangerine flavor, made for a 16 oz water bottle. so 1 packet orange drink mix to 2 packets hot chocolate mix for a 14-16 oz cup of orange hot chocolate. the test cup got guzzled down.
Blackie, do you remember Pillsbury Space Food Sticks? Tang and those are memories from my childhood.
I certainly do. They were both favorites especially when going into space in a wooden rocket ship my brother and I built in the back yard. Good memories.
oh yea and the "special " packages of hot dogs right before moon launches so the kids could watch it on tv and eat what the astronauts were going to be eating
Ha! I remember those. I had an Apollo lunchbox too.
@@SDWNJ P.S. I became a propellorhead, and went on to 4 yrs in the USAF and 36 years as a boeing inspector. There must have been something in those space sticks.
I loved those space sticks ! Carried them in my Batman lunch box as a snack when I walked home from school. Tang too. Gosh those are great memories 😊😊
Where did you get your “ Red Hawk, Haversack ?” I’m an old silver Wolf, trying to get a haversack and have no luck. I like your style keep up good work!
❤ For those of y'all that prefer ground coffee to instant, but don't want to be spitting or throwing out coffee grounds, I found a little spoon contraption with a built-in reusable coffee filter.
This may sound like an ad, but I just love this little thing!
I picked mine up at a dollar store, but there are different variations that are sold all over the internet. It's as simple as loading up one of them tea balls, but holes are smaller to prevent getting coffee particles in your cup.
Now, you'll still get a little silt at the bottom of your cup, but I prefer that over an ìnch of used up coffee grit.
Mine is shaped like a measuring spoon, so I just fill it 3/4 full, swivel the cap around to lock it into place, and swirl it around in my cup like a regular spoon. It's plastic, so it weighs nothing. It's infinitely reusable, so I just need a ziploc baggie of ground coffee to go along with it. It's easy to clean, just swing open the door, dump out the spent coffee, and rinse off the residue.
I like using Redmond salt...just a dash in my canteen for the day. And of course whiskey in my coffee at night 🤠
Hi Mr blackie, sure hope you can make a video on different ways to use the PFM40 cooking kit, thank you so much for helping me adjust the handle on the pan!! Love your channel and content, be well my friend! STRENGTH AND HONOR!!👍🏽💯❤️🇺🇸 from Washington state!😊
i will that will be in the bushpot series once i finish the canteen cup stuff
Blackie, Looking forward this series and information. I Greatly Appreciate All Your Series and Videos, You keep it real no B.S. , Thank You Again Sir for all you do. God Bless Y'all You and Mrs. Blackie. Tim L. 63 year old Silver Wolves.
I appreciate that
I must be a psychopath. I have never been bored with just water.
Great video and tips, Blackie! Thanks. Can't wait for the next one. 👍
thanks
Apoligize in advance if you cover this in the video, but I'm interested in the "Camp taters" recipe you talked about in a recent video. You mentioned in that video the larger surface of the Crusader cup works better to brown the meat. Is it even possible to brown the meat in the bottom of a USGI canteen cup?
yes it is and that should be the 3rd video in this series so stay tuned
Canteen Cup Wednesday?...LOL👍
well we will see where we want the series to land
Gives me a reason to look forward to Wednesday
I like my Garorade tasting like a miso/coffee mixture. Yummy! 😂
Again a brilliant video from you - thank you very much!
But can you make one, where you show the knots you made with the double carbines? The setup is simply brilliant easy!
Sure thing!
Thanks for the detail and the idea about using the book in marking your canteen cup, but those would’ve probably come. You did a really good job on this. I’m looking forward to your cooking mama fire videos.
You are so welcome!
I don’t know why sitting under a tarp cooking over a little camp stove or on a small campfire is so fun and satisfying but it just is. I always enjoy cooking in the woods. The food almost always turns out good and the memories made are priceless. I look forward to seeing more in this series brother!
Nice video Sir Blackie ! That canteen cover / carrier , is that a special one or will any of the 1qt military ones the same. Or, is this a larger version that will fit the new sets from SRO. THANKS, Alan in 🇨🇱
these military surplus molle covers work and the cover that sro sells will do a great job as well
Hello Blackie, Where can I purchase that haversack with zippers. Thank
if you eill send me a email to downndirtywoodscraft@gmail.com i will send ya the details
A gray wolf from New Jersey here. Looking forward to this series. Thank you 😊
thanks for watching
Great information Blackie. Thank you.
glad to do it
It is interesting, things I never thought of thanks 👍
You’re welcome 😊
First thing I thought of when I saw that cup of hot water was Ramen noodles soup with the little packet of powdered flavor. But it is a beverage video.
nope but we will cover those later on with a few twists to make them better
Your video reminded me of when I would not drink instant coffee. When I started out staying overnight out hunting I would take ground coffee. I could not stand instant. Then about 50 years ago my elder brother in law told me how to make instant coffee that's actually fairly good. The key, he said, was to boil the water and then add the coffee. It does give it a better taste. I still prefer my ground coffee though.
yep instant is always a poor second choice but if you boil water set it off the heat and then add the instant as it is cooling down it is a better cup
Some good points I don't like those coffee sachets, I like to put my favorite instant in a seal bag with some brown sugar in another, I use a filter do you have any pointers on pre filtering? I am thinking of using a cut off bottom of a plastic bottle and filtering through some material. I am hoping to get most larger particles etc out of the water to increase the life of my filter is that worth doing? I occasionally like the real coffee but instant works for me on the trail most off the time, I like a pint or two of tea slightly sweet no milk in the evening too.
sounds good
Don’t forget the hot apple cider it’s almost fall…have fun stay safe.
good point !
Great video, looking forward to the series..😎
thanks for watching
The Lipton dehydrated soups are good in the canteen cup/stove scenario. They're easy to carry and easy to heat. You can put other veggies in them to cook too.
yep i will be covering those in soups and stews. video coming soon.
Blackie, are there single serve coffee bags over your way? I usually carry a couple of those coffee bags as a change from my Nescafe coffee that I drink every day. I also use cup-a-soup sachets (soup in a cup) on winter camps. Recently, I have found that the Croatian Podravka company has 4 serve soup sachets that are available in Australia. These are top shelf quality and I’ll take one with me and spoon out 1.5 teaspoons to make a serve of soup.
Woke up this morning and found a new Blackie video. Informative as usual and just as entertaining.
yes they sell those and you can order on line single pouches of many kinds of coffee
@@BLACKIETHOMAS, I never order online as I prefer to support a local store especially when it comes to clothes and footwear.
I like to carry double wall bottles with me that way I can put hot water in it for instant coffee, hot chocolate. Also can carry some ice in them to have a cold drink
sounds good
That canteen stove works just fine if you light a Trangia and flip the stove upside down over it (as designed to be used) and set the canteen on top of the stove. No need to put the Trangia down inside and stack that pot stand on top.
true i like the way this one acts as a stable base for the stove
Just coffee - got things to do... Thought this was going to be that - NOT! The beauty in the 'canteen cup cooking' is that's all you need when you're out there. Coffee, top ramen, oatmeal, scorpions - it ain't a cooking show! Love ya Blackie but you're gettin' soft.
Sorry! i am just warming up lol
@@BLACKIETHOMAS It's all good! I'm just learning your style. You have a lot of good content out I'm just starting to enjoy. Looking forward to your 're-do' of the Ground Pounder series - as soon as I catch up!
All right, here we go!
buckle up lol
Old vids are so good plz dont take down !!! Just make a new playlist
ok i will leave them up
I've used denture cleaning tablets to clean my water bottles.
those work very well
You didn"t talk about the ridge line you put up. Video was interesting i will use this info
go look at Dave canterbury's channel he just did a good video on it i was trying his innovation out
Where do I get a canteen pouch with a sling like yours ?
kaufmans military surplus samson al. call 334 -898-1770 tell then blackie sent ya they will set you up
I had to subscribe
thank you and welcome aboard !
Great video I never tried using the stove up side down like that. Great info.
Thanks 👍
I still remember the proportions to cook chicken and rice in a steel combat helmet .
awesome
What kind of pack is that your carrying ?
it is my REDHAWK HAVERSACK one of my designs
Video just started so idk if you readdress this or not, but talking about the grill racks with the canteen cups in the vid the other day.... the small one pathfinder makes the 4.5x 4.5 i think it is does not fit in the canteen cup, i tried☹️. It was designed for the 64oz bushpot so theres that🤷♂️
Thats the pathfinder cup for reference
correct i have one as well and your right if i bend it a bit it will fit but not well
My 4.5 x 4.5 works great in the M-40 bushpot. I use it for baking. I've never tried it in the canteen cup. Interesting thought.
@@ScottCarlson-cz7wj its a smidge too wide. Like blackie said, only way is to bend one or the other. I got my buddy one of those m40s for his birthday... still debating on if i really want one
Would you consider yourself a hippie in your younger days?
hmm not really i was more of a woods bum
@@BLACKIETHOMAS 😂😂😂
My Grandmother used to have something she called Russian Tea for our family.
Ingredients
2 cups white sugar
2 cups orange-flavored drink mix (such as Tang)
1 cup instant tea powder
1 (3 ounce) package powdered lemonade mix
2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
½ teaspoon ground cloves
Makes a great camp hot drink.
sweet geebus! its all sugar crap!!
She smart lady with thought you youngens will have suger crash sooner to go bed early 😊
we make russian tea with 2 parts tang 1 part instant tea 1 tbl spoon cinnamon
I'm going to put that in the notebook and give it a shot, thanks.
New subscriber here been binge watching for last week, we’re silver wolves lol & are learning so much from your videos. I’ve been waiting for this series, love your videos from Texas!
Welcome!
🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
thanks for watching
goedenavond Blackie !!👍
thanks
Thanks Blackie
your welcome
Good video Blackie, thanks for sharing YAH bless !
thanks
Love the caption
thanks
This'll be a great series, Blackie. Thanks.
I'd like to suggest the Rite-in-the-Rain notebooks (they have lots of sizes and configurations) that use a waterproof "paper" for outdoor work. I've goofed up and left one in my jeans pocket (twice) while washing them -- the old writing became a tad blurry, but the paper still works great. Paired up with a Fisher Space pen is even better. If your re-enactment supervisor catches you, just tell him you just returned from a time traveling trip and offer to give him a small pad ...
very good idea
Hi Blackie , greeting from Australia, thank you for your time to make these videos, looking forward to the next one muuchly appreciated thank you .
glad to do it
Didn't realize coffee and some of the other drinks would do that. The Propel powder will etch a fill line in 20oz plastic tumblers at home, should have guessed on the same for metal.
Great stuff Blackie.
its kind of like you notice when you take spaghetti for lunch to work and the plastic lunch tub takes on a reddish look and even when you wash it it still has some red haze to it.. the tomato acid bonds to some plastics well coffee and some teas will bond to metal if you use them enough and you have to in effect sand the inside to wear that bonded layer off
I'm looking forward to this series. I have a yellow rite in the rain pocket notebook from the local logging shop set aside for canteen cup recipies. Thanks Blackie.
Sounds great!
The more that I watch of these Ground Pounder Series video, the more that I learn. Always new little tidbits of information and practical tips included. As Blackie sits down under that lean-to tarp it reminds me of some of those first Down and Dirty Woodscraft Canteen Cup videos he did for his channel. If you’ve followed Blackie Thomas for anytime at all, you know that he has an excellent understanding of camp cooking in a canteen cup. This key thought from this clip..”practice at home before you head out into the woods.” Work out the details of those camp meal recipes in the comfort of your own home before you take them out to the field. So much information crammed into a 36 minute presentation. I see myself watch these at least a couple of times. Thanks for the attention to detail Blackie. Be safe. - Tennessee Smoky
thank you for the kind words
Beautiful! I love your gear, and the notebook and the small container that snaps shut to hold the beverage packets are great ideas. I’m gonna love this series!!
thanks for watching
Nice looking haversack. Like the extra area with the zippers.
thank you it took awhile for me to get the design worked out but it seems to be selling well and people like the design
This is going to be a great series to watch for sound practical knowledge.
thanks
You didn't waste any time implementing that ridgeline lol, which is your favorite of them all?
mine with the plastic toggles and bankline this was a fun testing of his idea and it works well i may use it for my long line and keep my ridgelines like before
@BLACKIETHOMAS that's great I was just curious lol, I hadn't tried the s-biner way yet but I knew it would work or Dave wouldn't have showed it 🤣.
With the L-Handle canteen cup it will not tip over it must be kicked over
they are very stable
Blackie.... I got one of those cold-weather canteens from Kaufmann's that you showed a while back. Do you know of a cap that will fit and replace the white cap that they come with??
let me check
ok i tried it and the lid from the pathfinder is bigger than the artic canteen
@@BLACKIETHOMAS Thanks for checking!! I appreciate that!!
Great vid really like the idea of painting the canteen , cup and stove thanks for sharing and I’ll definitely see ya on the next one
thank you
yup, we drank Instant red borsch in cups after a storm watch on a yacht
i have drank many odd left over stocks from cooking veggies on cold winter days
This is going to be an awesome series/playlist 👍. I picked up some silicone measuring cups for my alcohol stove fuel, they are 100 ml or about 3 oz & have been handy for many liquid items. Sure it might be a little work to fill it a few times but whatever you’re making will be perfect every time & you can literally jump on these things or shove it in your pack. The best alcohol fuel in Canada is Methyl Hydrate & poison ☠️ so the one for fuel is well marked.
good info thanks
@@BLACKIETHOMAS
I should say it’s more of a shot glass style of container
Blackie, ty…Good Stuff
thanks for watching
Good afternoon from Syracuse NY brother and thank you for sharing this video with this information for people who don't know this
So nice of you
@@BLACKIETHOMAS my pleasure brother
Looking forward to the cooking series!

I think painting the stuff black. Will cause it to boil faster.
i find it seems to heat more evenly less hot spots
