  • Gordon goes winter camping with only the items in a coffee can. In this video, Gordon demonstrates how to make slumgullion stew using homemade hard tack survival rations, a super shelter, pine mattress, and sterilized water from snow. With surprises along the way and having to switch to his emergency alternate plan, this adventure was type 2 fun at it's best.

    Slumgullion predates Jack London for sure. I believe Mark Twain mentions it in "Roughing It," and slumgullion probably predates that book, which was from the 1870s.

    I really like that you played this out and let us see where it didn't work out... realistic outlooks are important for survival planning.
    Maybe it would have been better if you made some coffee with an egg thrown in? I did try it... I do think it killed some of the acidity and had an oddly creamier taste? For survival, I wouldn't waste an egg on a pot of coffee when I could just eat the egg, but that is a thing I'll add into my archive of "weird camping things" to amaze the city slickers!

    The egg thing got me 😂 I think I recall Mors saying about building a 'Canadian fire' which was, essentially, as big as you can make it (after all, fuel in the boreal forest was not an issue). With limited fuel, as in your film, this would have been more difficult. I really admire your videos like this - really good to see someone putting their knowledge and kit to the test in properly awful circumstances. Well done for keeping it real.

    This underscores the importance of collecting enough firewood to last through the night (It's always more than we think we need) and be prepared to stay awake if necessary to tend the fire because it's your lifeline in a shelter like that at those temperatures. I wonder, if you could do it again, what would you do differently? Would you choose a better saw or an axe to help with wood collection?

    • @grimgranite
      @grimgranite  3 місяці тому +1

      Thanks for watching! The constraint I gave myself, fitting everything in a can, meant that I couldn't fit an axe or a proper saw... this would have helped tremendously!

    Great vid buddy . I respect using common sense and going plan b. I’ve suffered cold temps and survived sure but I also learned unless I’m actually in a life or death situation then I don’t have to have miserable nights lol. Challenges are definitely fun on personal levels . But I’m at the point ima be as comfortable as I can as long as it’s within my means . Have fun . But be smart . And know your limits .
