Most people could not live the life that you do. But I think most of those same people, myself included for sure, could benefit from your core message of improving your life by simplifying your life. Stay happy and healthy bro!
I can't have a fire in my camp so I have a one burner propane stove. With the filling adapter for a barbeque tank, I refill the small green cans over and over. My camp box is a bear and mouse proof cooler. One pot for Hot water, french press, fried sausage and potatoes, cleaned regularly with no soap. I cook my pan breads in a toaster oven!! I sit cross legged like you are so much I have a callus on my ankle?! Love the lifestyle! Pork fat is better than beef fat. I use coconut oil ( just because I live on an island! It tastes awesome. I pay others to cook for me a lot! I also cook for others, but too lazy to do it for myself! Lost track at around day 2700 lost outside. Cowboy up. What's the Horse doing??!!
Ive watched a few videos you've mentioned that you do not wash cooking utensils. Can you explain the reason? I'm intrigued. I do the dishes in our house and I am on the cusp of never doing them again. Also, what does being "dirty" most of the time do as far as your mental state/health? I find when I eat food with dirty hands for an extended time, I start to crave a wash.
Yes I’m happy to share… first off, this is very important, I live in a dry climate. The danger of not washing dishes is bacteria growth. But just as I can dry meat safely, I can also leave a spoon out and it will dry and not grow harmful bacteria. As an alternative example I used to live in Seattle and my bottled I reused for water would grow bacteria. I barely have that problem here because it’s so much drier. For cooking pots and pans it’s even less worry because when I use them after I’ve eaten out of them, they get heated up to destroy any bacteria. So the only time I’ll do any kind of washing is if I’m afraid there’s too much flavor from dinner that will effect my breakfast. I’ve never minded dirty hands as long as they’re dry. I figure if I can’t scrub the dirt off, it’s not gonna come off onto my spoon. And some gals like my rugged hands. I don’t smell bad, if that’s a concern. My hair and myself smell good. People actually are drawn to my aroma because I smell like campfire. After that the only reason to clean is aesthetics. I do like cleanliness and I’m finding the balance of practical, lazy and being dignified.
You are my new favorite channel on UA-cam. I love the simplistic living. I would like more of your simplistic cooking videos too. Someday I will get to this level of peace. Thank you!
I have to admit I recently got some pork fat and I think I’ve given up on the beef fat. It was ok if I used honey but I never got used to the taste like I thought I would.
Bro! I just found you yesterday and I think I have watched a dozen or so videos. I love how you do your thing. Thanks for making these videos. I followed you on Instagram and Facebook, too.
Again awesome information & simplifying eat'n,reminded me of growing up simple home cooking nut'n fancy,would love to see how you do a Thanksgiving prep,probably a simple basic plan

The reason food at your house tastes better is because the government did have there hands in it. They add so much to food these days. Wild food will always taste better
Fantastic. Your bread is similar to Ghakku here in Scandinavia. My mother is a native Scandinavian (Sami people) 0.3 cups milk powder 2.5 table spoon dry jeast if you want to. 3.2 cups wheat flour Salt 5 table spoon syrup Water Stock, broth or tasty fat No need to freeze it or anything. Holds for days and is exceptional good as trail bread when hearding reindeer, hunting or trailriding
black pepper for the apocalypse. that got a laugh out of me. ive had the same thought. that's an interesting set up you've got going. i like that box. simple. i notice you didn't mention beans. do you eat beans, lentils or split peas? those and dried chillies, rice, cornmeal, wheat flour, bacon, duck/goose fat are what i keep on hand. enough so i wouldn't need to go to town for a few months if i didn't want to. i grow garlic, onions, various herbs, pumpkins and fingerling potatoes. all those keep for months if not up to a year possibly. im keeping it pretty simple myself. take care man. good to see ya.
Excellent, you’re further along than I am in some ways. Beams are a frustrating one for me, they’re such an excellent food for simplicity- storage, cost, availability but they give me gas so freaking bad I avoid them. Sadly it’s the same with lentils. Split pea I may try again, it’s an excellent food source for sure. Pumpkins or some type of squash are high on my priority list if I start gardening. Cornmeal is hard for me to digest or I’d be using it a lot. On the other hand I do like that I’m able to buy so few things. I’m glad the black pepper got a laugh 😂
Love your lifestyle. I make a biscuit alternative because I like the flavor of Hoe Cakes. 2 part cornmeal, 1 part flour, baking powder, salt, and water to form thick batter. Cook like a pancake. The wheat gluten in the flour is the binder for cornmeal.
A few years ago i wanted to start drinking black coffee and i didnt like the taste, so i added stuff to it to make it taste better then i put less and less each day until i put nothing in it then got used to it, i dont drink coffee a lot any more but when i do im used to the taste of just plain black coffee
Food flavored with hunger taste the best
Such a great video
Love it 👍🏻
Thanks!

That’s my desire, to see people improve their lives by simplifying.
Food for thought.

Sounds great! Are you on an island near the equator?
Where did you get your canvas tarp?
I bought some Sunforger canvas and paid an upholstery shop to sew it up for me.
A simple life is a happy life.
It is indeed.
Brill post many thanks (y)
Thank you
Makes me wish I was in better health and younger
Coffee, honey, and pepper. Top 3 staples!!

@@OverOnTheWildSide Thank you for your insights into the marrow of life.

Thank you, I plan to keep putting out videos like this one for a bit.
i missed watching your videos! are you doing a teepee set up now? I remember you were doing something else at one point
Yeah I’m in my 14’ tipi. I’m working on a small tiny home though. Hopefully I’ll be able to move into it in a couple weeks.
I want too do something like this when I grow up thanks
Interesting...I thought this was barrel life but then there's a big freezer in the middle of nowhere...LOL you're high tech compared to me.
The joy is doing it however we want. I’m in no hurry are you?
great video and message. not sure i could do the beef fat though. pork/ bacon fat sure.
I have to admit I recently got some pork fat and I think I’ve given up on the beef fat. It was ok if I used honey but I never got used to the taste like I thought I would.
@@OverOnTheWildSide I understand!
HOLY SMOKES A VIDEO!!!!!
Yeah haha! I’m gonna try to keep posting even if they’re simple.
How long are u gonna cook those eggs ?
Till I’m finished
I completely get him eating biscuits as a meal I could survive on hardtack
Bro! I just found you yesterday and I think I have watched a dozen or so videos. I love how you do your thing. Thanks for making these videos. I followed you on Instagram and Facebook, too.
Glad to hear it! Thanks. I’ll be getting back to videos pretty soon too.
Pinto beans stay good for a long time once cooked they have as much protean as meat..?
I wish I could eat beans, they’re extremely practical and cheap.
I agree .. once u get food solved .. consider it solved and leave it alone .

Very true, good point.
Well said, friend
Ty
You’re burning the eggs man!🤣🤣🤣
😂 just the way I like ‘em!
Fantastic. Your bread is similar to Ghakku here in Scandinavia. My mother is a native Scandinavian (Sami people)
0.3 cups milk powder
2.5 table spoon dry jeast if you want to.
3.2 cups wheat flour

Water
Stock, broth or tasty fat
No need to freeze it or anything. Holds for days and is exceptional good as trail bread when hearding reindeer, hunting or trailriding
Forgot to mention, you make it in a skillet
I need to try that, sounds much heartier than what I make.
Man. I want to do this
Starting with small steps work great, that’s how I got into it.
Have you ever thought about publishing a study on your lifestyle? It's a lot like experimental archaeology.
I’ve pondered it… I like that perspective on it. That’s helpful in forming an idea of how to go about it.
Your living my dream life.

Excellent, you’re further along than I am in some ways.

Pumpkins or some type of squash are high on my priority list if I start gardening. Cornmeal is hard for me to digest or I’d be using it a lot. On the other hand I do like that I’m able to buy so few things.
I’m glad the black pepper got a laugh 😂
@@OverOnTheWildSide salt and pepper and garlic are like the perfect trio of seasonings!
@@mtnbound2764 absolutely
potatoes are great for your garden next year too. We plant purple vikings, they last all winter and produce large taters
Cool, yes popos are great. I’ve considered them myself.
Love your lifestyle. I make a biscuit alternative because I like the flavor of Hoe Cakes. 2 part cornmeal, 1 part flour, baking powder, salt, and water to form thick batter. Cook like a pancake. The wheat gluten in the flour is the binder for cornmeal.
That sounds great, corn meal is really good that’s for sure. I’ve only used it as corn bread though.
A few years ago i wanted to start drinking black coffee and i didnt like the taste, so i added stuff to it to make it taste better then i put less and less each day until i put nothing in it then got used to it, i dont drink coffee a lot any more but when i do im used to the taste of just plain black coffee
Great example. I did a similar thing with black coffee over the summer.
I’m sure those eggs are cooked…
One of them was. I used it anyway.
