- So how do you clean camp dishes with minimal supplies? What a bummer, you get done eating and realize you forgot some of the luxury items you enjoy at home. Dish Soap, scrub brushes, not to mention the lack of hot running water or a dish washer. Or you decide to rough it a bit and most of what you enjoy at home is not an option. Cleaning the dishes is part of the experience and these tips will likely help make cleaning up your camp dishes a bit easier.
1:28 " _Tell you what - I'm a big fan when I'm alone in camp of just eating right outta the skillet..._ "
LOL!!!🤣. Brother, I'm a big fan of doing that when I'm alone at HOME. Don't even need a camp.
PLUS, it's crazy how often I use my camp kitchen gear at the house when eating alone.
Clean camp is a happy camp....
In the past I have used beach sand for cleaning the cooking gear and the plates & utensils and boiling the sea water in the pan to soften up any hard burnt food it's all easy to do. Thanks for the video.
A pine cone makes a good scouring pad.
Huh. Might have to try that one.
Good to see someone beat me to it. I use pine cones of the smallish variety found where i camp in the PNW region of the US.
Camp towl ie wash cloth are essential as well. Helps clean you pots and pans in addition to giving you something to wash your face. A warm towl on the face can be luxury.
Hey Dave, I recently attempted to make soap from wood ashes, after watching an old video on that subject you made, and it didn’t turn out too well. I had to use Beef fat instead of deer tallow because it’s all I had. Any chance you can do another video on making soap in the woods from ashes and fat? I’d really appreciate it.
Dave is the King
Good morning from Syracuse NY brother thank you for sharing this common sense
Fire is your friend when cleaning dishes in the field
Yeah good stuff, Ive done a lot of these. One thing Ive done a little and might try more is carrying a bit extra oil with me to camp as long as Im not trying to be ultralight. a few drops of food safe oil and a wipe as a final finish will help protect the metals, deep penetrate any grime stuck on, and most importantly prep the pot for the next cooking so my next meal doesnt stick as well. Everyone should know how to oil/grease a pan and be conscious of heat control to keep the pan easy to clean as well.
Sands the man baby….thanks for the vid Dave, know your busy hunting ,I picked up a materials check from a tree stand this morning 😂
winter time camping in snow, use the snow to scrap stuff off pots/pans and then boil the snow.
Off subject but:
I’ve looked and still haven’t seen any videos on sharpening an auger… scotch eye or others. We run into them at the flea some times but they need a tune up.
Thanks for another great video Brother!👍👍
Dave, you’re the best. Thanks for sharing your knowledge, experience, and common sense takes on so many essentials. Appreciate you. 👊 😊
Would love to know we're dave buys them pans and lids at
Man the more SRO gear I see the more I like it. Quality kit no question. Up here in Nova Scotia it’s just a bit out of reach for me price wise. If the Canadian dollar ever rebounds I’ll sneak an order in😂. Your common sense approach is great Dave. Thanks for sharing stuff worth learning.
Hey Dave, what is that camo jacket you wear?
✊🏼
I’d like to know as well
I do that at hunting camp
Nice
A smaaall little tiny bottle of YES and you can clean it in cold water,
Hi, when you fly to other countries for teaching or personal interests, do you take a small kitchen with you? If so, what do you take with you and have you ever had problems at airports? Thank you ☺️
David , great content, I would really like to see a video about crossing a river or large stream where you have no choice but to get wet, perhaps in cold or somewhat cold weather. Safety, procedure, how to pack/carry your pack, what to do to dry off as soon as you get to the other side, have a fire ready or something if need be etc... Having a well throughout methodology for making a smart crossing then getting dry and warm again could be essential for deep wilderness travel.
I can't even begin to count the number if times I cooked Ramen noodles and added MRE entrée in my already dirty canteen cup. Thank God I had a second for MRE coffee/mocha.
Hi Dave, would you please do a Spider debris shelter re-visited video.... thanks.
We also haven’t seen you use the 1 quart ss bush pot all that much for cooking or survival techniques. (Just giving ideas lol)
Can the food be scraped into the fire instead to burn away or will this still attract animals?
Done the same thing in the Army 50 yrs ago, but thanks for refresher enjoyed the video
On my solo hike of the CO Trail, I threw away my “sponge” which of course got disgusting!
I started using a small short 2 inch piece of evergreen limb right off a living tree to scrape out my pot. Works great and just throw away the piece of evergreen when I am through with cleaning the pot. No shortage of trees unless above treeline so I usually carried a few pieces of evergreen if in the tundra area for longer length of time.
A desert hermit had a video on waterless dish washing. Just scrub with sand and sterile with heat. You'll eat a bit of dust each time but it'll be sterile at least.
What semi puff jacket are you wearing? Camo is always in season.
I have used cast iron like that camping for years
Large folding spoon, where did you get it, Ty dave
Soap an water I always have soap small bottle with me gos in cook box
Bandana and soap thins for me. Always in my mess kit
How do you get a water bubble out of your compass.
How can you maintain your gear
Thanks for the great tips! Personally, I like to bring a swedish towel. They don't weight anything and are a great addition to your kit.
Thx Dave from Taxachusetts 😉
I just got home Wednesday night from the hospital. I was at my deer stand working and all of a sudden I started itching around my ankles then my arms and then my torso at which time I decided I’d better get home and hit the shower because I’d gotten into something in the woods. By the time I got home I was a mess and when I started getting undressed I passed out. My wife called an ambulance and I spent the next 24 hours in the hospital. I don’t know what I had gotten into. I’ve lived in the woods most of my life. I’ve never had a reaction like this before so I’m pretty traumatized.
What would you do if something similar had happened to you while deep in the woods.
Sounds like an allergic reaction to an insect bite. I had the exact same thing happen to me after being bitten on the foot by a tiny, tiny ant of some sort. I passed out after about 30 minutes. Woke up (luckily) about an hour later. I was told to carry an Epi pen or at least some Benadryl.
Generosity. A rare quality. Good stuff, Dave.
Thanks Dave
I’ve seen most of your vids at this point and one thing I haven’t seen yet is you cooking with the titanium skillet, and the titanium canteen cook kit (I know you don’t sell titanium products anymore) but I have purchased a lot of your titanium products and it would be nice to see you cook/use those two products. Even if you use both of the titanium skillet and titanium bush pot combo could be a awesome video.
Thanks
Soap an water I always have soap small bottle with me gos in cook box
As always. Job well done.
