For the past 6 years, I have struggled with Addiction. Watching DMFD and Bluegabe reignited my love for the outdoors and fishing. It has been a pinnacle point in my sobriety and whenever I am having a rough day I throw on a couple of your videos. My recovery is centered around fishing and backpacking up in the Pacific Northwest. Now with Two and a Half years of sobriety, I have been able to hold down a great job and save up for a nice bass boat of my own. Take it out a few days a week after work and do a lot of Salmon Fishing on the Columbia River. The outdoors and your videos reigniting my passion have been a lifesaver. Just wanted to say thank you for all you do! You truly make a difference in the outdoor community and sure have in my life.
Fishing also helped me tons staying sober i don’t no longer wish to use drugs thanks to god I wanna go fishing on my free time that’s it my extra money goes to gear I never think about drugs again except when I see my old friends…. And see they ain’t worth a shit
Been there boss. Addiction is a beast and ruins everything u truly love. Cool to see you have sobriety for a while now. It's amazing how good it feels to go out and fish and hunt and just enjoy the outdoors. Instead of being dope sick or high. We ca live the life u always wanted to..I'm happy for ya. The world meets no one half way if u want something go get it and never let anyone tell you can't do something..
Jesus Christ saved me from my old life. Without my Lord I would be nothing. We must Repent and put our trust in Jesus Christ only. This world is going to end very soon.
It was the first Swamp cabbage episode that got me hooked to this channel all them years ago. You and your family have come so far and been blessed by God. Thank you for sharing your amazing adventures with us. ❤️
Armadillos are a natural carrier of Leprosy, Flordia has several cases a year. Be careful in handling them. If something weird shows up check the symptoms online.
@@Jacksonn985 not me either, brother. Not as long as I can get beef, chicken, pork, fish, deer, etc. I’m even down for some squirrel or wild rabbit dumplings, but I’m drawing the line at an armadillo. No thanks to possums or raccoons, beaver, etc., either.
Today happens to be 2 years that my pawpaw passed and this video hit home for me. He was a military veteran and raised me to be the man I am today. I have many stories about him as you do Rob about your grandfather. Feel like I connected with today's video on a high level. Thank you for what you do Robert and your fellowship, also glad to see you back on the Ranch. God Bless
I have been a fan of this channel for years I live in Barbados and I am a former Police Detective Sergeant . I just love the way you and your family has progressed over the years . Everytime I hear you reminisce about your Grandfather it gets me kind of emotional because it shows that you haven't forgotten your roots and that he has had a great effect on your life and upbringing. It also makes me reflect on my Grandaddy who has long passed he was a very loving man an old cane cutter and plantation worker who despite that was a very brilliant man actually a mathematical genius . Gosh I miss him and hope to see him one day in heaven. God bless you and your family Rob . Keep up the good work. Respect!!
Start of 2020 I found this channel, my son calls it dinner dinner, and he is 3years old. We watch together and encourage one another to do the things we watch. Thank you for a family friendly channel. Thank you for keep on showing how men can live with family and friends. Love your channel and keep up with the great work.
*Drops camera* "Sorry about that" *throws camera into pellet bath in the next cut* 🤣🤣🤣 that's what happens when the camera doesn't behave haha love ya Rob! Good to see ya back on the ranch! 🤠
I believe he mentioned in one of his videos that Austin decided he didn't want to do all the traveling anymore... I believe it was in one of the videos right before their big trip
Back to your roots! I’m related to Moses Barber, the pioneer who established a huge cattle operation in Florida before the civil war. Their feud with the Mizell family is legendary. Hats off to your grandpa.
Rob you are a true legend. Doing a video like this makes one really miss the older generation. It also makes you realize that we should get back to the basics and enjoy it. Thanks a mill
I about fell off the chair when I heard you say your GrandDaddy was "Shotgun" Shiver! I grew up in the saddle on my GrandDaddy's place, Williamson Cattle Ranch. When I was in 1st & 2nd grade, we lived in town, right next to Shotgun :) Just three months ago, I rode by his old place with Iris. As you know, Iris was a good friend of Shotgun, and her stories of him & the old days are legendary!! You come from good tough stock. Thanks for sharing those memories!
Robert one of the best part of this video is you having the younger boys at the ranch. I bet you are teaching them on how to live off grid and on swamp ranch. We have to take time out as us older guys and pass the fun times to this younger generation to keep the outdoors alive for the future. I love cooking outdoors like this as well. Be Bless and have a great week.
I'm 61 years old and I was born and raised in south Florida My dad ,(86 years now) was to. When I saw you put that salt on the tomato brought back memories of my childhood.
I loved the Big Roll and all that you did along the way and in Alaska. However, I, at the same time, missed the authentic DMFD content and this surely hit home. Thanks for a great video!
Salt 🧂 on a raw tomato 🍅 was a treat my Great Grandpa showed me when i was 8 yrs old. You made me flash back when did that. Thanks 😊 great video brother
The way you sighted in the rifle at 4:32 is what we refer to in the military as "lolly popping". It's the quickest way to bore sight pretty much anything
Rob you warm my heart..Old School is my History...You get it and I appreciate you...The land and what it produces was all they had back in the day...I miss it...Thank You...
So stoked you were cooking a Cracker Classic! My uncle by marriage was a north FL cracker, and was so poor growing up in Perry that they couldn’t afford milk for cornflakes-they used CocaCola instead! All his life he used CocaCola on his cornflakes for breakfast, because he grew up a poor Cracker and proud of it.
Have you ever heard the story about the CocaCola millionaires in Quincy? At one time Quincy had the most millionaires per capita in the US. The banker noticed even when times were hard people would spend a nickel for a cold coke. So in like the 20s he told everyone to buy shares of CocaCola and never sell them. Well then did and with all the splits Coke has had those early $40 dollar shares are worth millions. If only your uncle lived in Quincy.
What happened to Austin is he going to be back on the channel? Love everything you do and you inspire me in so many ways and the way you are with the kids you are the person I look up to every day and your brothers too blue gabe your whole family I love it keep up the great work
Loved the recent Alaska series but these are my favorite videos by you! That looks amazing and cooking it in the woods like you do is pure artistry. Keep them coming. Your awesome bud!!! Welcome home.
Hey brother, your living the good life. Most people will totally lost if we have to go back to way things were. Did you know the roots on those Australian pines make some of the most crookedest walking canes. When a storm blows the big ones over get your bow saw and start cuttin'.. Dry the root, peel the bark when it starts cracking. Like I said some of the most unique, strong, walking canes.
I still start chuckling after watching Rob holding a paper plate in one hand (cooking outdoors up in Alaska) and putting the dishes in it off of the fire 🔥. The plate began to burn, so he had to put it out...got another paper plate to remove more items and caught that plate on fire as well....lol 😆.
For 31 years most of my days have been spent centered around being outdoors. I've watched your channel a couple years and your brother's awhile to because you guys are great and your content is centered around what I enjoy. The reason for telling you all this is life changed and I haven't spent much time doing what I love in awhile and I got unsubbed somehow to you and just realized it today through a suggested video. Point is I just started get back outside at the same time as refinding your channel. Sorry for long comment I felt the synchronicity is important. Stay Up ⬆️ Brother.
Every once in a while I like to watch one of your episodes with the collection of swamp cabbage. I think it’s great that resource is out there. LaBelle just had a palm cabbage festival this weekend. Wish I could’ve gotten there. I’m guessing they do all kinds of meals with that item.
Hey, where's Austin? We miss him! Your videos are not just inspiring, they're also a way for some of us who don't get to experience the outdoors to experience it through you.
He said in one of his Alaska videos that Austin has a new girlfriend and he wants to spend time with her and family and stuff so switching camera men up I think temporarily
Looks like you had a hard time with that cabbage lol . Thank you Robert for being an awesome mentor. I really got a lot of love for you ! Saying some prayers tonight for you. God bless you and thank you for your contribution to our country and service . Praying for our nation tonight and everyone out there . Goodnight.
Nice! So much land space and so much wild. A hand full just maintaining the fish feeder. It calls for a cold Beer 🍺 Robbert after such tiring day of work. Food looks good! 🇸🇽🇬🇾🙏🏼❤️😋🍺
Awesome video Rob! I love getting notifications when you post a new video! You never know what’s gonna happen with your video’s! The fact that you caught that armadillo out of no where was awesome! Thanks for the content man!
Hey Rob, 2:30 The phone works but if you want to make it easier.. working in feed and grain business, alot of feed bin, hopper bottom trailers, gravity wagon.. have a plexy glass window now. Mainly to check feed level or what not.. you could make one easy your self for that feeder if you can cut a 4ish inch size hole (round or square) or what ever you want really and mount a piece of plexy over it. cosmetically have plexy on inside and with corn would be fine even if you mount it on the "cone" bottom. (edited..I dont know why i thought corn.. but big pellets flow nice too so same thing..) but technically mount it outside so it dont stop the flow but with corn you will be fine. Maybe silicone it too so water dont go in especially if you mount the plexy outside. Pre-drill holes both plexy and feeder and bolt it on using big fender washers on plexy side. But...phone works too. lol Anyways I left my comment hope all is well! :) 7:18 do you have wild grapes? That kinds looks like it maybe a grape vine on the swamp cabbage. I live in MI so not sure on Florida having grapes. research it but if you do have grapes you can put a little oil in your cast iron and deep fry the leaves as a crunchy snack. That does look good! Never heard of swamp cabbage. Very interesting and cool how its cut into pan. We have skunk cabbage.. lol very different. Awesome video I learned some stuff ty! :)
Man O Man - what a great video. It reminds me of some similar times back in mid 70s in deep woods central Florida (all built up now - St Cloud/Kissimmee area) when I was in late teens/early twenties. I had the privilege of doing some of this with two old black men I used to work with. They would forage wild food exactly like this and serve it at our annual company picnic. I'll always cherish those memories- and the chow! Oh the memories! Thank you for this!!!!!
Great Video Rob - I remember when I first moved to Florida back in 84 in my job i had to go to Labelle Florida often and Swamp cabbage festival is held there. Wow it is Fantastic Cabbage. I believe you met one of my Son's down at Ram Rod Key at Boondocks a few years ago he to hurt his foot but from an airboat accident about 15 years ago . We all in our family watch your videos, and they are Great along with your brother Gabes as well - Keep up the Great Job and stay humble as you are. God Bless
Nice to hear your tributes to your grandfather, reflecting the moral/family value he had placed in you, something we don't hear often or enough nowadays. Great respect to you!
Down in Labelle we have the swamp cabbage festival I help in one of the two booths left that still cook it my friend will cut 200 the weekend before. The cabbage it’s self will last three or four days if kept out of the sun and will last longer in the fridge lemon water will keep it from browning.
One of my dreams is to go fishing with you to Alaska. If there is a way I could get in contact with you please would you let me know. I am from South Africa and you visited not to long ago. Missed the opportunity to hunt with you. Keep motivating people.
Back to the basics!! Best video I've seen in awhile. I've been a subscriber for a long time and miss the ranch videos and the simple fishing trips. Your catch clean and cooks from back in the day are my absolute favorites...
That was obviously an awesome trip, and some! I hope your happy being home, happy there's a new video. In all honesty, you seemed far from your usual self. I hope all is good with your life and family. If you are too tired, please know we are happy to wait for your videos. God bless
You made it home 🏠 you guys are so amazing 🤩 love 💕 your UA-cam channel and your family I loved 🥰 the Alaska videos love 💗 from Ohio Irene and god bless
When I was a big kid , I carried a case lockhorn pocket knife , but I kept my double bit axe razor sharp. Carried my salt n pepper , hooks lines , ammo , carbide light , ina homemade shoulder bag. I've ate lots of wild game and fish wild vegetables, sometimes get garden stuff from people who I knew well enough. To pay later , or help with chores around
I used to watch you before you hit a million. Some how I lost you and forgot about DMFD. I just happened to run into a vid last week and it was like finding a 100 dollar bill laying on the ground lol. I'mma country boy and love love love your channel. I can't believe I lost you for so long lol. I'm back, your back, keep them vids coming!!!
I am going to try this. We moved to north central FL 3 years ago and I have not tried swamp cabbage yet. But after seeing this and the video of the meal you made for the fire department I really want to try this
as a huge fan of the old west its very cool to hear you talk about your great grandfather in the florida south, I feel like that was a whole different brand of cowboy that we dont see in hollywood movies.
Hi rob! My dad is a very big fan of you! I hope dear Mom and the girls are doing okay! My dad has been watching your videos nonstop and his name is Yanko Enriquez and your his idol.. You made him so happy by the way of you giving him a special giveaway thank you so much rob for doing this for him have a great summer!!
It's a blessing to look back on wife Pa! Cooking outside is way thing was done in those days amen! Good eating! My mother mom grew up like this and I love staying with her amen!
I'm 6 generation from Fort Myers Florida, my grandfather with the cava cowboy and my dad worked cattle with him and for him. They even hunted Wild cattle for the state,and did a lot of alligator hunting as well back then. We used to cut and eat a lot of swamp cabbage cabbage back then as well and I really like it better raw. Glad ya'll made it back from your excursion to the land of the barn doors.
Robert. Love what you do, love what y'all are about. Watching you cook fresh kill pork on an open fire while waiting for my toaster strudels to pop up. Peace and blessings
That’s funny what you said about the longsleeve shirts and sweat, that it keeps you cooler during the day. It works the other way around too. In finnish army, they teach the soldiers, that the sweat, and and dirt and the grease/fat what from your skin, helps to keep you warmer, in cold conditions.
Thank you for finally explaining to people why you wear a long sleeved shirt. It's hot, humid and muggy here in eastern virginia and not many people understand why I wear a long sleeved shirt in the summer time!
Boy that swamp cabbage meal you cooked looked so amazing.. I want to try swamp cabbage.. my husband has talked about how good it is.. maybe one of these days

Been 8 years I think since the 1st swamp cabbage vid with Cliff
Armadillos are a natural carrier of Leprosy, Flordia has several cases a year. Be careful in handling them. If something weird shows up check the symptoms online.
95% of people are immune, I won't be handling them however.
Only 30 to 50 percent of people that handle them get leprosy every year. Not all have it either.
Yeah but same could be said when catching frogs and snakes and what not, everything has something. But armadillos aren’t something I’d eat or catch
And I’m from Louisiana so that says a lot if I’m not down to eat something
@@Jacksonn985 not me either, brother. Not as long as I can get beef, chicken, pork, fish, deer, etc. I’m even down for some squirrel or wild rabbit dumplings, but I’m drawing the line at an armadillo. No thanks to possums or raccoons, beaver, etc., either.

Love this brother, very humble. These are the dinners that also take me back to the days of my childhood. My grandpa use to the same. True memories.
Why can't your bro have some compassion like you do. You are the GOAT of the family.
It’s so satisfying watching you make swamp cabbage
*Drops camera* "Sorry about that" *throws camera into pellet bath in the next cut* 🤣🤣🤣 that's what happens when the camera doesn't behave haha love ya Rob! Good to see ya back on the ranch! 🤠
HA!
What happened to Austin? Hope he's doing well. Glad your back in the sunshine state. Alaska was beautiful thanks for taking us along.
i was wondering the same i miss austin
Was also wondering..
I believe he mentioned in one of his videos that Austin decided he didn't want to do all the traveling anymore... I believe it was in one of the videos right before their big trip
Thought about it too
Rob said he is spending time with his gf and family
Back to your roots! I’m related to Moses Barber, the pioneer who established a huge cattle operation in Florida before the civil war. Their feud with the Mizell family is legendary. Hats off to your grandpa.
Rob you are a true legend. Doing a video like this makes one really miss the older generation. It also makes you realize that we should get back to the basics and enjoy it. Thanks a mill

GrandDaddy was "Shotgun" Shiver!
I grew up in the saddle on my GrandDaddy's place, Williamson Cattle Ranch.
When I was in 1st & 2nd grade, we lived in town, right next to Shotgun :)
Just three months ago, I rode by his old place with Iris.
As you know, Iris was a good friend of Shotgun, and her stories of him & the old days are legendary!!
You come from good tough stock. Thanks for sharing those memories!
It’s cool to see you back! It was amazing to see you fishing in my old home town back up North! Can’t wait to see you go back for hunting!
Exactly!
Your one hell of a creative guy, who knows how to make something from nothing with a teaching behind the scene.
Blessed be.
Robert one of the best part of this video is you having the younger boys at the ranch. I bet you are teaching them on how to live off grid and on swamp ranch. We have to take time out as us older guys and pass the fun times to this younger generation to keep the outdoors alive for the future. I love cooking outdoors like this as well.

I'm 61 years old and I was born and raised in south Florida

I loved the Big Roll and all that you did along the way and in Alaska. However, I, at the same time, missed the authentic DMFD content and this surely hit home. Thanks for a great video!
agreed, these are my favorite vIdeos of DMFD.
Salt 🧂 on a raw tomato 🍅 was a treat my Great Grandpa showed me when i was 8 yrs old. You made me flash back when did that. Thanks 😊 great video brother
This video was awesome, no fancy shots, no epic music, just pure raw nature
The way you sighted in the rifle at 4:32 is what we refer to in the military as "lolly popping". It's the quickest way to bore sight pretty much anything
Bro, you sure don't skip a beat! From Alaska back to Florida, you're still slinging out videos continuously. Great job and great video!
Alaska ain't cheap, I was there many years ago and I think a dozen eggs was like six bucks
Rob you warm my heart..Old School is my History...You get it and I appreciate you...The land and what it produces was all they had back in the day...I miss it...Thank You...
This is probably the 3-4th swamp cabbage video, I freaking love them and I learn something new every time.
So stoked you were cooking a Cracker Classic! My uncle by marriage was a north FL cracker, and was so poor growing up in Perry that they couldn’t afford milk for cornflakes-they used CocaCola instead! All his life he used CocaCola on his cornflakes for breakfast, because he grew up a poor Cracker and proud of it.

The banker noticed even when times were hard people would spend a nickel for a cold coke. So in like the 20s he told everyone to buy shares of CocaCola and never sell them. Well then did and with all the splits Coke has had those early $40 dollar shares are worth millions. If only your uncle lived in Quincy.
I am so happy that you are back in Florida and we can see the videos we are use to seeing
Agreed !
glory to you grandpa and grandma. and your mom and dad..for raising such a good person. keep on this way Rob.
What happened to Austin is he going to be back on the channel? Love everything you do and you inspire me in so many ways and the way you are with the kids you are the person I look up to every day and your brothers too blue gabe your whole family I love it keep up the great work
I was curious about that too.
We see him out there doing what Austin usually does. I'm just as curious.
I was thinking the same thing.
His probably replaced. He probably left the tractor out on the ranch
What about Jordyn?
this one just feels so close to heart... lots of respect from a far far country... such a heartwarming watch just before sleep...
Loved the recent Alaska series but these are my favorite videos by you! That looks amazing and cooking it in the woods like you do is pure artistry. Keep them coming. Your awesome bud!!! Welcome home.

I truly love your content. You are so down to earth and care about your family. True inspiration Thank you for all you do
Thanks for sharing the video Rob, where is Austin at?
5 Generations in Florida I love seeing some good Ole swamp cabbage cooked up. There is so much to old Florida people don't know. Awesome video DMFD

At 15:50 - I was thinking: he's going to need a bigger pan. Well done, once again.
Hey, where's Austin? We miss him! Your videos are not just inspiring, they're also a way for some of us who don't get to experience the outdoors to experience it through you.
I asked the same question! I hope things didn’t go sideways with them. Austin is a cool dude!
@@marqueztransport7697 I hope they're cool too.
Wondering the same for a while now
He said in one of his Alaska videos that Austin has a new girlfriend and he wants to spend time with her and family and stuff so switching camera men up I think temporarily
He is starting his own family for himself
Looks like you had a hard time with that cabbage lol . Thank you Robert for being an awesome mentor. I really got a lot of love for you ! Saying some prayers tonight for you. God bless you and thank you for your contribution to our country and service . Praying for our nation tonight and everyone out there . Goodnight.
Good Alaska videos, it is good to have y'all back
Yes SIR
Nice! So much land space and so much wild. A hand full just maintaining the fish feeder. It calls for a cold Beer 🍺 Robbert after such tiring day of work. Food looks good! 🇸🇽🇬🇾🙏🏼❤️😋🍺

That does look good! Never heard of swamp cabbage. Very interesting and cool how its cut into pan. We have skunk cabbage.. lol very different. Awesome video I learned some stuff ty! :)
Is austin completely done with editing and being around?
That's what I'm trying to figure out!!!???
I kept asking myself that
Yeah where is Austin
Good question
Austin will be back he's taking a break

not sure how to text on telegram i am not very smart with high tech stuff
Nice to hear your tributes to your grandfather, reflecting the moral/family value he had placed in you, something we don't hear often or enough nowadays. Great respect to you!
This video genuinely makes me happy man, this is literally someone sharing my nativity and I get to watch it.
Hope Austin is still part of the team.
Me too!
Also in the south having a long shirt is crucial cause of mosquitos especially at night tent camping woke up thought i had chicken pox
Idk about eating armadillos dont them things carry leprosy or other diseases??
Yes🤣
I missed this!!! Authentic DMFD watching as I type lol I’m so excited
You’re brave 😮
Down in Labelle we have the swamp cabbage festival I help in one of the two booths left that still cook it my friend will cut 200 the weekend before. The cabbage it’s self will last three or four days if kept out of the sun and will last longer in the fridge lemon water will keep it from browning.
Rob what happened to Austin? We the people want to know
Favorite UA-camr ever and swamp cabbage is so good
One of my dreams is to go fishing with you to Alaska. If there is a way I could get in contact with you please would you let me know. I am from South Africa and you visited not to long ago. Missed the opportunity to hunt with you. Keep motivating people.
Back to the basics!! Best video I've seen in awhile. I've been a subscriber for a long time and miss the ranch videos and the simple fishing trips. Your catch clean and cooks from back in the day are my absolute favorites...
That was obviously an awesome trip, and some!
I hope your happy being home, happy there's a new video.
In all honesty, you seemed far from your usual self. I hope all is good with your life and family.
If you are too tired, please know we are happy to wait for your videos.
God bless
You made it home 🏠 you guys are so amazing 🤩 love 💕 your UA-cam channel and your family I loved 🥰 the Alaska videos love 💗 from Ohio Irene and god bless
Thanks for letting the armadillo go!
Much love from NYC
Glad that you are back on the ranch! Where is Austin?
Thank you for posting! God bless!
When I was a big kid , I carried a case lockhorn pocket knife , but I kept my double bit axe razor sharp. Carried my salt n pepper , hooks lines , ammo , carbide light , ina homemade shoulder bag. I've ate lots of wild game and fish wild vegetables, sometimes get garden stuff from people who I knew well enough. To pay later , or help with chores around
Love this - you're so authentic. Never knew that was Hearts of Palm !!
Thank you soo much for your videos and stories of Grand dad, it truly does bring back a ton of great memories with mine. I thank you sooo so much
I used to watch you before you hit a million. Some how I lost you and forgot about DMFD. I just happened to run into a vid last week and it was like finding a 100 dollar bill laying on the ground lol. I'mma country boy and love love love your channel. I can't believe I lost you for so long lol. I'm back, your back, keep them vids coming!!!
For sure you're back home...reminds me of times I spent in Virginia...as a young child...
Videos like this Is the reason I started watching your channel. Keep it going
I am going to try this. We moved to north central FL 3 years ago and I have not tried swamp cabbage yet. But after seeing this and the video of the meal you made for the fire department I really want to try this
Back in Florida! Loved all the Alaska videos, glad you guy had a great trip🙏🏽
as a huge fan of the old west its very cool to hear you talk about your great grandfather in the florida south, I feel like that was a whole different brand of cowboy that we dont see in hollywood movies.
On the other side of the coast in Manatee county we used to use Husqvarna or stihl to harvest swamp cabbage. Great throwback to the old days!
Here we go back in FL !! Appreciate y'all
Your camp stew looks really good!! I could dive in right thru the screen...
Hi rob! My dad is a very big fan of you! I hope dear Mom and the girls are doing okay! My dad has been watching your videos nonstop and his name is Yanko Enriquez and your his idol.. You made him so happy by the way of you giving him a special giveaway thank you so much rob for doing this for him have a great summer!!
I luv how u talk with such honor and respect for your grandfather
It's a blessing to look back on wife Pa! Cooking outside is way thing was done in those days amen! Good eating! My mother mom grew up like this and I love staying with her amen!
What an amazing Man this is!.. learned so much from this Channel!! 👏🏻😃👍🏻👍🏻
So we not gonna talk about how he just jumped straight out for the armadillo 😂😂
i have never heard of swamp cabbage, the food n gravy real looked delicious , its fan and amazing adventure,,,🙏🙏🙏
I'm 6 generation from Fort Myers Florida, my grandfather with the cava cowboy and my dad worked cattle with him and for him. They even hunted Wild cattle for the state,and did a lot of alligator hunting as well back then. We used to cut and eat a lot of swamp cabbage cabbage back then as well and I really like it better raw. Glad ya'll made it back from your excursion to the land of the barn doors.
Robert. Love what you do, love what y'all are about. Watching you cook fresh kill pork on an open fire while waiting for my toaster strudels to pop up.
Peace and blessings
Hello im Charie from the Phillipines,im injoy watching you.😘
Can definitely tell Rob has been in Alaska! He's sweating like one of us Northern boys would! 😂😂😂😂 Another great video Rob!
How's adapting back to the heat and humidity of Florida, good to have you back.
The time lapse cutting the cabbage Palm was great.
We used to eat tomatoes like that with a little pepper ! Really enjoy watching you cook what you catch/kill!! :)
That’s funny what you said about the longsleeve shirts and sweat, that it keeps you cooler during the day. It works the other way around too. In finnish army, they teach the soldiers, that the sweat, and and dirt and the grease/fat what from your skin, helps to keep you warmer, in cold conditions.
Enjoyed this one Robert. Great video.
Wow that’s awesome I never in my life seen someone stop and hop out of a vehicle and bare handed catch a armadillo!!!! Your awesome!!!!!🙏😎
Thank you for finally explaining to people why you wear a long sleeved shirt. It's hot, humid and muggy here in eastern virginia and not many people understand why I wear a long sleeved shirt in the summer time!
Love watching you guys wait all week to watch you and Gabe Kelly keep up love you guys
Honestly glad your back in Florida !! I love these catch clean cook Florida style videos
Boy that swamp cabbage meal you cooked looked so amazing.. I want to try swamp cabbage.. my husband has talked about how good it is.. maybe one of these days
Great site series! Real hunting, real food, close to nature. Well done! I just got an appetite...👌😆
Yeah, me and my friends will use palm fronds as starters, we say they make a furnace look cold
yeah me and my friends would use them as starters and then later burn armfuls at a time after we'd chased too many beers with Wild Turkey 🤣🤣
