I just spent over 3 hours on the internet browsing for proper outdoor cookware. I could've saved me the trouble and just watched this video instead. This raised cooking platform is absolutely awesome, I don't need to bend all the time with my bad back.
Reallybigmonkey1 : Hi from Ontario Canada, I just found your channel wow, you are a genius! You probably think your way out of most problems. I like your accent, are you from Louisiana? Just a guess 😎
Absolutely, Dave! I agree with Kacy 100% - especially your V-Grill and pivot pot! And hey, while I think of it, is there an address (PO Box, maybe?) where I could send you one that I built?
I love the accessory table below the v-grill! A person's got to have a place to set their coffee whilst make breakfast in your tree hammock 10-feet off the ground! Perfect! 👍❤🌅🌵
I am about to issue my first Dave Pearson complaint... Steady yourself... I have NEVER seen a Dave Pearson with Fun In The Woods video that mentioned SO MUCH FOOD and NOTHING actually got cooked... LOL // I am sorry for the loss of your friend associated with the cook kit. Your affection for his is obvious. // Love all the cookware brother ! Thanks for sharing !
Lol, man the video would have been three hours if I would have cooked! Yep, it's sad when friends pass away. You try to not think about it but sometimes objects bring back memories of them. Take care and thanks for watching brother
Absolutely ingenious ! Plumbers do the same thing with asbestos pads in the uk to stop the scorching the house plaster when installing radiators. It's the first time I have ever seen such an application adaptation to the wilderness style of living. Very, very clever bro. I'm out of superlatives. Thank you greatly for your innovations and thought.
Thanks Tony, I'm glad you liked it. They still use asbestos? I think its outlawed here and they now use fiberglass or ceramic fiber blankets. Thanks for watching
Hey bro. Yes and in the UK too, but it was mainly the blue asbestos that was used for lagging pipes in ships that was deadly. Then it was realised, that following the war,prefabricated houses were made and the material they used? Yes, asbestos. However they continued to use it for quite a few years and even to this day they are still demolishing garages which were made from it. Only a matter of 15 years or so ago, my son (born same year as you lol . think you said 1967 ) had his asbestos garage demolished. The thing about this material is that it is safe in it's fabricated state but did not have the foresight to see the danger would be when they had to be destroyed,along with the dumping of this ubiquitous material. It now costs a small fortune to have the asbestos dismantled and dumped in special dumps. Only specialised workers are allowed to dismantle into special bags. People are still dying from asbestosis in both Britain and Australia (where I now live). In fact only a couple of years ago, there was a huge compensation claim against a company which caused massive damage to peoples lungs etc. >sorry for the long winded explanation of what happened years ago and up to today with regard to asbestos. I love your videos and I'm slowly getting through them from 2011 I think. I keep searching for them in sequence but not easy lol .....Oh, I will check with my bro back home in the UK and my other who lives close by here who are both plumbers , to see if It is still used as a protection against damage to plasterboards etc. Looking forward to future vids. Peace bro
you are so innovative! you weld, you sew, your stuff is so organized. you just really are a brilliantly creative person. I wouldn't be surprised if companies contact you every day to try to get you on their design team. unfortunately they'll probably just watch your vids and steal it without giving you your dues. either way, keep up the good work because you have helped millions of people and you never disappoint, I love watching your videos because they're so long and detailed.
Thanks! Believe it or not, no company has contacted me or tried to steal any ideas! Maybe they are too radical or a huge liability waiting to happen. Lol! Thanks for watching
Absolutely brilliant! You should seriously start selling your inventions. They are pure genius. Keep the videos coming. Looking forward to the next one.
I think the good will store should sponsor you in some way or another because I am definitely going to become a lifelong member of the goodwill stores thanks to your videos lol. Son you are a Marvel when it comes to creativity and I always have looked forward to what you create next. I love camping and I love being able to reduce things to the point where you can carry it all in a backpack. You have made the Camping World a more wonderous thing by being able to copy all of your different ways of cooking in the wilderness and even swampland, which surrounds me. I love your videos I love your ingenuity I love your imagination I'm so proud of you. momma GG
LOL, Thank you Momma! I'm glad you liked it all and Im more than happy to share ideas for other campers. Hit the Goodwills any time you can. You never know what treasure awaits! Thanks for watching
This very important phenomenal educational bushcraft channel and the video he’s makes are great phenomenal way to help people with learning their bushcraft skills and learning activities about outdoors and to be very educational about wildlife and wilderness and I am very glad to support this phenomenal man and his experience exciting phenomenal bushcarft channel and just amazing one for us 🤴🤴🤴🤴🤴🤴🤴🤴🤴🤴🤴🤴🤴🤴🤴👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Love the monkey but ., The welding technology is something difficult to produce after the shtf .Please someone mass produce some of this low tech usable cooking equipment before that happens.
I came out on my front porch, a huge cup of coffee, a nice AJ Fernandez cigar, a cool fall Florida morning, and enjoyed this video Brother Dave! That bake/grill box you made was an awesome idea. Thanks for sharing! Thumb's up video!~John
A trip down memory lane Dave. I had almost forgotten some of those and a couple I don't think I have seen. That's great my friend. You know , you could cut a log aprox. 8 feet long and stand it up in the gear bunker. That way you could design, display and demo your gear inside. Just a thought : ) Atb Paul
Thanks Troy! I'm guessing there's not much company interest because this is such specialized gear that it probably would have low unit sales. Most companies won't invest in a product unless they can make millions
Enjoyed remembering the videos that you made using some of those set ups. I know that what we see in those videos is exactly how it goes, but I looked back at some and seeing some of the problems you had before abandoning some designs especially the swamp ones. I remember my surprise at the tree grill & table being so stable. Be well, stay safe. Dave.
I remember Joseph Alshiller used to write historic novels about Henrey Ware and his three companions who were heroic woodsmen back in the days of Daniel Boone. Sometimes they would hide out in the swamp to escape the Indians from hunting them down. I love your videos. It brings me back to those days of Henriey Ware.
Kids nowadays really need to read those old stories. That would be the best thing out there for our youth. I'm glad you like the videos that much brother
'Tree Grilla' and the large work table are awesome. Maybe it is because I recognize the lid from the type of Farberware fry pan that I always loved in my kitchen. The Pivot Pot is one of your creations that I really like. That grill with the hot water griddle intrigues me! The hot water will really moderate the heat to do eggs, as well as to slowly bake pancakes as you suggest. I was wondering about having two resealable spouts--one would hold a scalable water reservoir that would feed more water into the tank as hot water was expelled into the coffee cup from the outlet. No risk of boiling dry...and more water for coffee. Without the pressure release you put in, pressure would really build up. Now I have to find a local custom metal fabricator... Anyway, this is a great gear video! Thanks for making the video and thanks for making the gear.
Thanks James, I'm glad you liked it all. Brother you hit on a topic that Ive been thinking of for years but haven't come up with a design. I want a device that sits over a fire near a creek with an inlet laying in the creek. As water is boiled, the pressure builds, expels hot water and draws more in! I really want to build something like that. Thanks for watching
Just watched this two-part series again. Dave, you have built some amazing stuff. And Ho-lee! Check out that utility room just filled to the ceiling with survival gear. Love it! Simply amazing. I wish I could do a shopping spree there. As I'm sure every one of your subs do! I hope you're doing well, Dave, and Nick as well. Thanks for the videos, and keep 'em coming! I'm always looking forward to them. Cheers! Jim
We are glad you liked it Jim! That gear room is definitely a fun spot in my life. If I'm feeling bad I just go in there and sit and stare. Lol. Thanks for watching brother
heya David , i love to see all these wonderful kooking sets again. what I did, I looked at all the original videos It was great to see all the recordings again. For hours I sat in front of the TV and enjoyed every minute. I do not know how many videos you made but I have seen many of them 2, 3 or 4 times. if i got $ 1 per video then i could spend a weekend in new york and have fun. I'm looking forward to the next one. greetings to Nick and your family from germany.
Hello Willem! I'm happy you liked it and even happier you watched the older videos! I'm up to 175 videos now. Thanks for watching and greetings to you and your family
My grown sons thought I was having a senior moment when they caught me busting out laughing and glued to my phone and told em I'm moving back to ga to play in the woods..then they started watching your videos and are now hooked..great videos great ideas many laughs brought us together and we all agree the v grill is amazing..you are inspiring..macgyver of bushcraft🥰
You're really creative, Dave and the things you make are useful & practical. I've watched your channel for many years now and nobody else builds genius inventions like you do. Like you,..I always try to think outside the box and make things that you can't buy in stores, and last longer if they were. I'm 48 and have been inventing and building for decades. From one inventor to another...never stop imagining the possibilities of what can be.
Wow! I' don't know where to start...soooo many options and idea!!! Thanks sooo much for displaying and explaining all of your different ideas and campsite cooking examples!!! Now to decide which ones I like for my particular situations and adapt... Can't say enough good things about your presentation and ideas...all your efforts and presentation are sooo appreciated! Safe bushcrafting to you and yours and I look forward to videos with you and your son and of course 'cats' in your future videos! SAFE bushcrafting to you and yours ALWAYS!
Your inventions are always great, can't wait too see what the future holds. Oh ans as a Brit I have to say thanks for saying aluminium, Thanks again for all the great work Dave and I shall see you in the next one 😃
You really cracked me up at 4:50 when you noticed your cool hair and how the wind was messing it up!This lengthy demonstration shows your commitment to designing and building cook sets that are simpler yet still provide multi functionality and packability of which you can be very proud.Thanks for your time and effort in producing this display of all your little jewels.Can't wait to see what's next from the creative mind of David Pearson.Hope to see you in the woods in the next one! P.S.With Nick!👍😃
Thank you so much for showing us how you have progressed over the years !! I didn’t want the video to end !! The cast iron pot if it had a lid made me think of popping popcorn over a fire !! Can’t wait for your next video !!
This is the best Video I have ever seen on every possible way to cook under every condition ! I see these so called experts who show the newest products on the market and test them on their channels ! As long as I have access to my Good Will stores and flea markets I will make my own ! You are heads and shoulders above the others ! Thank You Sir !
Thanks Dave! You saved my part to the very end. I need to drill the holes all the way through on one tube. I only went through on on side, but seeing that grill again made my day. Still my favorite!
Awesome series! ... Man, isn't it the truth -- cookware does tend to pile up over the years; I thank my Lucky Stars I don't weld...I would have stacked up more stuff! I'm experimenting with tin-can stoves now, but those are disposable. :) I use a form of your suspended bowl-cooker in my canoe w/charcoal...works like a charm, & I don't beach on long float trips anymore, to cook. Likewise, I made a simple form of the "tree grill", and it works great, too; ditto for the neat "table daisy", which I made from a bent small dia. rod, closed up with two hog rings, making it collapsible. Thanks for the ideas, Dave!
One thing for sure David, You have a very talented mind. Slightly abstract (which a good thing!) and highly ingenious (which is also a good thing) when it comes to making things. Your the "MacGyver" of bush craft camping and cooking! God Bless My Friend!!!!
@@Reallybigmonkey1 I couldn't of said it better about ur ability to think out of the box to make cooking utensils!!! Thank you for sharing it and ur wonderful attitude!!
Fabulous! Love the little cast Iron grill set up that was to cute. I could see Steak, Fried Potato's and caramel apples in sauce. lol mmm mmmm yummylicious! lol made me hungry.
Dave this is a difficult time for me and my family right now, but your videos are putting a smile back on my face! These two videos reminded me of all of your older videos. Now that is sheer joy!! I am so looking forward to some weld-less videos. I always am trying to figure out alternative ways to make this stuff. I was glad to see the machete grill cause it inspired me to make my own version of it. Thanks for everything you do my friend. For everyone that you inspire to venture into nature, make a little fire and cook something .... Even if nature is their own backyard... thank you! The best as always to you and your family from your California friend!
I'm sad to hear your family but happy to hear the videos helped! Sadly, most things need to be welded but I do sometimes try to show things that others can make with bolts or rivets. Take care, stay safe and thanks for watching my friend!
Howdy from Southeast Texas buddy! Good stuff. It's been years since I've camped and watching these have sparked an interest in going out and doing it right. My pack will be here in a week or so. I've got a place near a creek picked out and still have to buy some rope and a couple of things but I have the rest of my gear. Got an old Buck 102 Woodsman attached to my machete. I think my tarp's too big. It's a 10' x 20'. I'll make my raised pole bed and then make a Tee Pee over that. The excess will be folded under to make a partial floor to put my pack and guitar on. Sausage and beans for supper then banock (sp?), sausage and eggs for breakfast. I'm going to get some photos if you want to see a couple shots of my pole and rope bed and whatever I come up with for that huge tarp.
Hello my friend! I'm happy to hear you're gonna get out and camp again. 10 X 20 is a huge tarp! It's great for a shelter with a floor like you mentioned. Take care and enjoy camping!
I'd love to see your photos of that setup as well, AirstripBum :-).. You sound like me, always took my guitar camping with me. I have noticed that whenever I play, it draws in all the little wildlife :-) (This was not in Bear, Cougar nor Hog country though, FL).. Camp safe, hope to see those pix :-).
Awesome Dave! that is for all your builds but or however, for folks like me, (up in age, no welding skills lol) all I do is envy what kits you have! Thanks my friend!!
@@Reallybigmonkey1 Yep it is *so* cool to see all your widgets and gadgets, what a trove! I do not know how to weld (would love to, though), and soldering is useless for this kind of stuff, but there is a whole lot that can be done just with cutting, bending, drilling, linking, and bolting together. And steel office document clips :-). I am building a smoker based upon your design Dave, thanks to your backpack smoker video :-). I use cast iron mostly, so whatever I build has to be very stable and able to handle the weight.
Outstanding,been waiting for this part 2. Reminds me of your older vids and why I subscribed to your channel. The treegrilla is my favorite grill you invented, it works great. As long as you make vids I'll watch them all. Thanks brother.
David....great video again...what a gear room...perhaps you should consider welding a larger gear room...lol...thanks for the fun and your great sense of design! !
So much awesome gear. I remember seeing alot of that stuff in use. I cant wait till the cool weather comes on... so hot here! I remember that wicked machete! And the shovaxe! Haha. Im gonna be keeping my eyes open from now on at goodwill for any pieces i can find to make a kit.
Thank you for taking the time to set up all your cookware, show it all to us, and put it all away. I can't imagine how much work that was! You sure have some neat stuff. Great ideas from someone who has worked out the kinks.
Cool stuff. Always fun to make your own gear. I like the tree stoves. You could make the 90 degree part pivot similar to how a tree stand works when folded. Same concept.
Outstanding! You’ve got more variables for cooking than y’all can shake a stick at! Really excellent! By the way I’ve moved and I’m in your fair state now! I keep you posted of things to come! Thank you for this video! Very impressive of the different cooking systems! Whooo Weee! The Large Man of Toccoa
Thanks Brother, I'm glad you liked it all! Youre in Georgia now? That's cool! Georgia does have a huge film industry now so it doesn't surprise me. Take care and Thanks for watching Brother
Thanks Dave ! this video is like Christmas morning ... I'm far to busy playing with my new ideas to write a decent comment. I'll have to get back to you when I've assimilated this & turned out a Dave / Jared collaboration... like that Kong grill turned into my hanging collapse-able temperature regulated grill . you made my day once again. creativity and innovation makes your channel top of the heap
I will be sure to send a link & give you a heads up when I do make a project... but If you want to see the sketches & parameters for the projects. put your email on my channel ( it wont likely be seen before I erase it ) I'd be happy to show you pictures ect... and any of your thoughts on improvements would be welcome. Jared Fenwick
Amazing creativity with your camp cooking set ups. The four pan bake & fry is one of my favourites but I must confess a bit of disappointment that chef Dave did not do any actual cooking in these two videos. I've made your bacon & egg plugs on my barbeque and look forward to future cooking based on the wisdom of chef Dave. Hope you have a great weekend. For us up here in Canada it's our thanksgiving weekend so I will be enjoying turkey and the first weekend of hockey season. God bless.
Thanks, I'm glad you liked it all. Ah well I would have loved to cook but the video was already over an hour! I have a long list of things to cook soon. Enjoy your weekend, may God bless you too and Thanks for watching John!
6:53 If you didn't have two trees, you could drive two or four posts into the ground and put the bungee cords around them. I recognize the little "odd-looking little daisy-looking device." It was intended to be put on top of an electric stove burner so someone could them put a glass coffee pot or Corning Ware coffee pot on top of it; that would keep the glass from shattering. (I remember these from the 1950's and '60's.) Your "grills up off the ground" are ingenious! I can see you being the cook on a wagon train going out west or a tinker selling his inventions to settlers. Your innovations are genius. You are truly a unique individual. I agree with others--you should patent your creations; if you don't, it is possible that someone else will. I especially like your smoker and baking bowl.
Watched both parts for Friday night entertainment! Pretty innovated projects and it shows that you really love cooking in the woods. Thanks for the video!
I have never seen anyone or a video channel that has a bushcraft equipment inventory as awesome as you have.. If they ever have a Bushcraft Academy Award program , you should be nominated and be picked as winner.. You better start working on your acceptant speech.. 🏆
I am so glad to see this second part ... after watching Joe Robinet & Fowler’s vids about their time on alone I started wondering if any of your tree grills could be used. These home made cook stuff is awesome
Brother you are a very talented metal worker you have inspired me to start making more stuff. You have the coolest man cave ever. Keep up the good work I can't wait to see what's next.
Hello Dave from the UK, I thought I got some idea's from part one ,but this part two is absolutely awesome in fact I've had to write some idea's down so I don't forget them when I'm in the woods my wife even said if I make the grill /oven she'll do the cooking (now there's an offer ) thanks for sharing ♠️
I really enjoy watching all your videos never know what your going to come up with. I to collect camping gear and love messing around with outdoor cookware and stoves keep them coming Dave if we ever met in the woods we would be the two Dave's I really like gadgets would like to have a treegrilla I am going to start gathering some stuff up to make mine you are fun to watch my friend.
As always, brilliant. I really like the tree grills, they are my favorite so far along with some of the other grills. Oh and by the way I went out yesterday and “attempted” to make my first video. Complete disaster so I’m going to make a short one today.
Thank you so much for sharing your nice ideas and your passionate history of bush craft. I'm very impressed about your passion of bush craft. I think you are genius, god of bush craft. I have to say thank you so much thousand times.
It's like a family gathering watching this video brother! I think I watched 95% of all that gear you were using in the past years and it was like 'hey, I remember this one!" Great ideas you put to life there! Cheers, Marc
Wife and I just finished watching this and we both thank you once again for a super fantastic video. Don't worry, none of your videos are too long. I (and I bet a lot of your other subs) can spend all day watching and learning from them. These vids of you sharing what you have in your gear room are the best. Especially these last 2, they have 'spawned' many ideas in my mind on creating and building/fabricating a few grills/cook-sets of my own, one being a "base-camp oven type set-up. (As matter of fact, now that it is getting too cold up here in the '"New York Freezer" to work on the boat my sons and I are restoring, I just may start on it tomorrow). I noticed you mentioned that you make all of your cook-sets from stainless steel. Is this because of the heat resistance, safety, durability, cost or what? Reason I ask is, my idea might end up a little heavy if I use all stainless and may need an alternative metal. (Dude, you got the gears in my noodle a-turning time, lol!)!!!! Do you ever use or recommend using aluminum? How many sets didn't you show here? I bet a lot of em. My wife was wondering if you are gonna be doing any more actual cooking videos? She was a professional chef before switching her career choice to nursing and loved the ones ya did in the past. Once again, thank you for the time you put into the videos and keep up the great work. And as you would say.....We shall, see you in the next one!!! ~ Vinny
Thanks Vin, I'm glad yall liked it. I use stainless mainly because its tough, long lasting, safe and much easier to weld. Most of my gear is backpacker style so the weight of stainless is no big deal. If yours will be base camp then weight wont matter? Aluminum is very lightweight but much much harder to weld smaller items. Yes, lots more cooking videos to come. We have just been under a fire ban all summer here. Take care and Thanks for watching
Many of these grills I have seen in your videos.... Seeing the hot water filled grill has given my an Idea for making a water distiller to be used on a fire .It would be a great project video if you made one
Hi ya Dave! I’ve seen a lot of ur videos where u used ur different cook sets, the funniest being the 4 pan bake and fry when the biscuit swelled so big u and Nick tried to figure how to get it out! All ur cook sets r neat, wish I had ur skills, but I don’t and have to stay with the simple ways. Question’s; where did u get the two cast irons, brand of/ and where u got ur pants (I love the color blend) also what do u think of stainless steel dog bowls for a cook set???? U know, instead of throwing away what doesn’t work for u, u should send them to me (one mans junk, is another ones treasure) 😊 as always, ur awesome. Thank u
Hello Joy and I'm glad you liked it all! I got the smaller pan from a yard sale and cleaned and seasoned it like new. The other pot came from Lodge and its a sauce pot.www.amazon.com/Lodge-LMP3-Melting-Pre-Seasoned-15-Ounce/dp/B0002CX9FE/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1538836484&sr=8-2&keywords=lodge+sauce+pot&dpID=31YeAppg%252BxL&preST=_SY300_QL70_&dpSrc=srch The pants are whats called MARPT or Marine pattern camo. www.amazon.com/8675-ULTRA-FORCETM-BDU-PANT/dp/B0013RK7SO/ref=sr_1_fkmr0_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1538836578&sr=8-3-fkmr0&keywords=marpat+pants+bdu Thanks for watching
I really appreciate the effort to re-use thrift store items. As we know not all have the skills to wield, especially stainless. We can hunt for little treasures at sales. Also it's not a rock you use to drive the pivot pot in the ground. It's a Alabama Hammer. Always liked when you and your son, camped and cooked. You have some wonderful memories. Can't wait till the next one......
Thanks Jesse. Not all set ups have to be welded. Some can be riveted or bolted. LOL, I tried laying off the Alabama hammer due to slack from co workers. I'm glad you liked them vids, we had great times doing them! Thanks for watching
My Lord baby Jesus! That was a lot of cooking grills, bowls, bungy cords, oh he'll a lot of cooking stuff... lol... You crack me up David. I just love it! I would tottaly rock one of your grills if you ever want to pass one off. I like the grills that you place a bowl on one side & fry on the other side... hint, hint... I would come to Georgia & be your cameraman, since Nick can't keep up with you, on any adventures with David P, aka Really Big Monkey 1, just to be able to pick out 1 set up & you can decide which one to pay me with. I would think 3 videos would be alright for trade... lol...... keep me in mind. It's getting cooler & that would work perfect bc I hate the heat!! But we have to have some gator to eat & or shrimp & turf. We could make garlic butter in that small bowl to brush over the shrimp, but 1st we have to cook the stake just with butter then add the garlic later or hell we come just brush it all with garlic & butter. I would drink the sauce that's how well I like it. I put garlic power on my stake anyways so why not? Or have a crawl fish boil. Why not 3 videos of cooking with David in the woods with swamp bugs... lol... that's a good title right there. We could make it a 3 part video. Just let me know when & where & I'll be there & ready to film it with you. I hope I get in the credits, @ the end of our little mini video, that say video tapings by Chris from Missouri... lol.... Oh I'm so excited. Let's collaborate. I can be in Georgia in about 11 hours depending on traffic. Source Google Maps!! And I can stay for however long it takes to film 3 videos. Probably could even do it in 1 day to. I don't work so it's all up to you! Well I threw the offer out there so it's in your hands now. Hit me up, Chris from Missouri
Thanks Chris and I love your cooking ideas! I've always loved garlic butter on shrimp but never tried it on steak. I'll remember your offer as camera pro! Take care, thanks for watching and see ya in the next one!
I'm sure I don't want to go into the woods with someone named stillcrazychris. LOL 😄 On the other hand: I'm a "crazy" granny that's only 4 hours away in Tennessee, willing to help film also.
I'm sure I don't want to go into the woods with someone named stillcrazychris. LOL 😄 On the other hand: I'm a "crazy" granny that's only 4 hours away in Tennessee, willing to help film also.
@@judalu9557 hay I'm a stilcrazychris that's a granny to. And I'm so funny & love'm do ALL THINGS CRAZY, that now I need knee replacements, but keep on keeping on, & fun.... lol.... I gots an idea...... LETS ALL GO INTO THE WOODS & JUST HAVE FUN..... Now that's a great idea.... Chris from Missouri
Another great video demonstrating your problem resolving abilities. I believe I've seen most of these solutions in use on your previous videos, so I know they are functional. I'm also real glad I didn't see those skull-filled house slippers! Now has to be a great time to get out in the woods down there in Georgia, so take a beak and get some fresh air before Nick has to get back to school... Thanks again for the video. BTW, I think it would be a neat idea to turn that water grill into a larger unit that can also double as a backpack rack. If you put a couple of loops into that tap, you could also use it to distill water in larger volumes ... I'll be thinking about this! Doc Tom
Thanks Doc! I'm happy you liked it. Lol, those skull slippers accidentally "slipped" into that video. Lol. I'm putting more and more thought into some kind of distiller. Thanks for watching my friend
Regarding 24:00. Use black binder clips to attach the carbon fiber to the v-grill as a wind shield. Since the binder clips are all metal they won't burn, but be careful when dismantling as they will get hot. The binder clips will survive a high temperature as we use them to hold the parchment or wax paper onto roasting pans... So paper won't fall in during roasting turkeys or baking brownies. Binder clips are also light weight. ❤🌅🌵
Dave, Great video! On the big grill, instead on welding the bottom rods solid, have them hinged to fold up and fold down into welded lugs. (Hope that makes some sense to you?) How much water does the tube grill hold? Great design. Hope you build the coffee maker.
Thanks, I'm glad you liked it. Ive messed with hinges on these before but haven't perfected it. I need a good weldable hinge design. Tha grill holds about 1 quart. Thanks for watching
hi dave i was watching coyote works the other day it was a rerun from feb 2018 oregon mike was on with casey and mike was cooking 2 steaks on one of your super grills what a surprise lol have fun stay free
Dave you are a genius and I know from past video you are somewhat a machinist. Those cook sets and tree tables are fantastic. I’ll try and Mcguiver something for the spring and summer from what I can gather around. You never cease to amaze me.
Long video, and worth every minute. These sure are some great designs.
Thanks, I'm glad you liked it
I just spent over 3 hours on the internet browsing for proper outdoor cookware. I could've saved me the trouble and just watched this video instead. This raised cooking platform is absolutely awesome, I don't need to bend all the time with my bad back.
I'm happy you liked it and found it helpful. I've grown very tired of stooping down to tend fire. These set ups make life so much easier!
I have to say, you definitely should patent these ideas. These would sell big time! Thanks again for your videos. I really enjoy watching them!
I probably should. I'm glad you like them all Kacey, Thanks for watching
they sure give us all some ideas of what to make
Reallybigmonkey1 : Hi from Ontario Canada, I just found your channel wow, you are a genius! You probably think your way out of most problems. I like your accent, are you from Louisiana? Just a guess 😎
indeed i like his way of thinking,very practical
Absolutely, Dave! I agree with Kacy 100% - especially your V-Grill and pivot pot! And hey, while I think of it, is there an address (PO Box, maybe?) where I could send you one that I built?
ur video isn't too long, i could watch ur videos All day 🤗❤️ tysvm for sharing ur ideas with us
I'm glad you like them and thanks for watching!
Dave is the most enjoyable Bush craft you tuber around, his videos are always enjoyable and relaxing. He is inventive and excellent craftsman.
Thank you Claudio!
I love the accessory table below the v-grill! A person's got to have a place to set their coffee whilst make breakfast in your tree hammock 10-feet off the ground! Perfect! 👍❤🌅🌵
Exactly! When ever I set up in trees having a shelf is a must have! Thanks for watching Suzi.
@@Reallybigmonkey1 , your a jewel, don't ever give up making videos. Your sunny disposition always brightens my day! Especially that darn cat! 💜🌞🌵
@@Reallybigmonkey1 , wouldn't miss an episode! 👍💜🌞🌵
I am about to issue my first Dave Pearson complaint... Steady yourself... I have NEVER seen a Dave Pearson with Fun In The Woods video that mentioned SO MUCH FOOD and NOTHING actually got cooked... LOL // I am sorry for the loss of your friend associated with the cook kit. Your affection for his is obvious. // Love all the cookware brother ! Thanks for sharing !
Lol, man the video would have been three hours if I would have cooked! Yep, it's sad when friends pass away. You try to not think about it but sometimes objects bring back memories of them. Take care and thanks for watching brother
So many good ideas. It’s good to have options. I like to keep things off the ground when I can.
Thanks, I'm glad you liked it
1hr 15mins 6sec no worries in my life. Loved this video. Thanks
Thank you George!
Absolutely ingenious ! Plumbers do the same thing with asbestos pads in the uk to stop the scorching the house plaster when installing radiators. It's the first time I have ever seen such an application adaptation to the wilderness style of living. Very, very clever bro. I'm out of superlatives. Thank you greatly for your innovations and thought.
Thanks Tony, I'm glad you liked it. They still use asbestos? I think its outlawed here and they now use fiberglass or ceramic fiber blankets. Thanks for watching
Hey bro. Yes and in the UK too, but it was mainly the blue asbestos that was used for lagging pipes in ships that was deadly. Then it was realised, that following the war,prefabricated houses were made and the material they used? Yes, asbestos. However they continued to use it for quite a few years and even to this day they are still demolishing garages which were made from it. Only a matter of 15 years or so ago, my son (born same year as you lol . think you said 1967 ) had his asbestos garage demolished. The thing about this material is that it is safe in it's fabricated state but did not have the foresight to see the danger would be when they had to be destroyed,along with the dumping of this ubiquitous material. It now costs a small fortune to have the asbestos dismantled and dumped in special dumps. Only specialised workers are allowed to dismantle into special bags. People are still dying from asbestosis in both Britain and Australia (where I now live). In fact only a couple of years ago, there was a huge compensation claim against a company which caused massive damage to peoples lungs etc. >sorry for the long winded explanation of what happened years ago and up to today with regard to asbestos. I love your videos and I'm slowly getting through them from 2011 I think. I keep searching for them in sequence but not easy lol .....Oh, I will check with my bro back home in the UK and my other who lives close by here who are both plumbers , to see if It is still used as a protection against damage to plasterboards etc. Looking forward to future vids. Peace bro
you are so innovative! you weld, you sew, your stuff is so organized. you just really are a brilliantly creative person. I wouldn't be surprised if companies contact you every day to try to get you on their design team. unfortunately they'll probably just watch your vids and steal it without giving you your dues. either way, keep up the good work because you have helped millions of people and you never disappoint, I love watching your videos because they're so long and detailed.
Thanks! Believe it or not, no company has contacted me or tried to steal any ideas! Maybe they are too radical or a huge liability waiting to happen. Lol! Thanks for watching
what is the daisy metal device actually called? cant find it, thanks
You're the best entertainment 😄😃😆 and, you're setups are truly interesting innovations....your mind must be so busy!! 👍🏾😁
Absolutely brilliant! You should seriously start selling your inventions. They are pure genius. Keep the videos coming. Looking forward to the next one.
Thanks! I'm happy you liked it Karan. Who knows, maybe one day I can make more gear to sell?
You really should. Your designs are compact and designed well for simple use. Very nice.
just so you know, you have a fan in the Netherlands! love your creativity, it's a real inspiration!
That's great to hear Erwin!
Aw the memories. It’s been a while since I have seen these. I’ve been a fan for a minute I reckon. Still can’t wait for the home made heaters
Oh yes, and it brought back a lot of memories for me too! I'm glad you liked it. Thanks for watching
I think the good will store should sponsor you in some way or another because I am definitely going to become a lifelong member of the goodwill stores thanks to your videos lol. Son you are a Marvel when it comes to creativity and I always have looked forward to what you create next. I love camping and I love being able to reduce things to the point where you can carry it all in a backpack. You have made the Camping World a more wonderous thing by being able to copy all of your different ways of cooking in the wilderness and even swampland, which surrounds me. I love your videos I love your ingenuity I love your imagination I'm so proud of you. momma GG
LOL, Thank you Momma! I'm glad you liked it all and Im more than happy to share ideas for other campers. Hit the Goodwills any time you can. You never know what treasure awaits! Thanks for watching
This very important phenomenal educational bushcraft channel and the video he’s makes are great phenomenal way to help people with learning their bushcraft skills and learning activities about outdoors and to be very educational about wildlife and wilderness and I am very glad to support this phenomenal man and his experience exciting phenomenal bushcarft channel and just amazing one for us 🤴🤴🤴🤴🤴🤴🤴🤴🤴🤴🤴🤴🤴🤴🤴👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Thank you Donna!
You got that right donna, im learning new helpful skills everytime i wach his videos. I really enjoy it.
Love the monkey but ., The welding technology is something difficult to produce after the shtf .Please someone mass produce some of this low tech usable cooking equipment before that happens.
I came out on my front porch, a huge cup of coffee, a nice AJ Fernandez cigar, a cool fall Florida morning, and enjoyed this video Brother Dave! That bake/grill box you made was an awesome idea. Thanks for sharing! Thumb's up video!~John
Sounds like a good morning Brother John! I'm glad you liked it. Thanks for watching
@@Reallybigmonkey1 it was My Friend it was!
THE best bushcraft/camping tutorial channel on youtube, PERIOD !
Thanks Del!
I truly appreciate your creative problem and challenge solving.
Thank you Jim!
A trip down memory lane Dave. I had almost forgotten some of those and a couple I don't think I have seen. That's great my friend. You know , you could cut a log aprox. 8 feet long and stand it up in the gear bunker. That way you could design, display and demo your gear inside. Just a thought : ) Atb Paul
It was like a trip down memory lane for me too! Good idea on the log inside but I prefer to try and get outside more! Lol. Thanks for watching brother
You have made some brilliant gear. Can't believe some company hasn't wanted to use some of those designs. Thanks for sharing
Thanks Troy! I'm guessing there's not much company interest because this is such specialized gear that it probably would have low unit sales. Most companies won't invest in a product unless they can make millions
Enjoyed remembering the videos that you made using some of those set ups. I know that what we see in those videos is exactly how it goes, but I looked back at some and seeing some of the problems you had before abandoning some designs especially the swamp ones. I remember my surprise at the tree grill & table being so stable. Be well, stay safe. Dave.
I'm happy you liked it Dave. Lot's of years of ideas, successes and failures. Not matter the outcome it's always fun! Thanks for watching
I remember Joseph Alshiller used to write historic novels about Henrey Ware and his three companions who were heroic woodsmen back in the days of Daniel Boone. Sometimes they would hide out in the swamp to escape the Indians from hunting them down. I love your videos. It brings me back to those days of Henriey Ware.
Kids nowadays really need to read those old stories. That would be the best thing out there for our youth. I'm glad you like the videos that much brother
Cool video Dave long time no video you buddy mate working hard looking forward to your great video s to come thanks buddy
Thank you Dave!
Dave - you are a genius. Simple, elegant, and ingenious craft.
Thank you my friend!
You're the Nikola Tesla of the camping world.
Thanks!
You should be in Mensa. Your problem solving in a practical environment is beyond amazing.
You have a gift for designing and creating these things. 👍👍
Thanks!
'Tree Grilla' and the large work table are awesome. Maybe it is because I recognize the lid from the type of Farberware fry pan that I always loved in my kitchen. The Pivot Pot is one of your creations that I really like. That grill with the hot water griddle intrigues me! The hot water will really moderate the heat to do eggs, as well as to slowly bake pancakes as you suggest. I was wondering about having two resealable spouts--one would hold a scalable water reservoir that would feed more water into the tank as hot water was expelled into the coffee cup from the outlet. No risk of boiling dry...and more water for coffee. Without the pressure release you put in, pressure would really build up. Now I have to find a local custom metal fabricator... Anyway, this is a great gear video! Thanks for making the video and thanks for making the gear.
Thanks James, I'm glad you liked it all. Brother you hit on a topic that Ive been thinking of for years but haven't come up with a design. I want a device that sits over a fire near a creek with an inlet laying in the creek. As water is boiled, the pressure builds, expels hot water and draws more in! I really want to build something like that. Thanks for watching
I agree with you, whole heartedly!
Clark
Hot water grill???
Holy Cow!!! I just saw it, Very cool! I want one but 4 times as big please. 😉
The machete grill was one of the first grills of yours i thought of when i started watching these videos. Happy you added it.
I almost forgot it but luckily was reminded in part one!
Just watched this two-part series again. Dave, you have built some amazing stuff.
And Ho-lee! Check out that utility room just filled to the ceiling with survival gear. Love it!
Simply amazing. I wish I could do a shopping spree there.
As I'm sure every one of your subs do!
I hope you're doing well, Dave, and Nick as well.
Thanks for the videos, and keep 'em coming! I'm always looking forward to them.
Cheers!
Jim
We are glad you liked it Jim! That gear room is definitely a fun spot in my life. If I'm feeling bad I just go in there and sit and stare. Lol. Thanks for watching brother
heya David ,
i love to see all these wonderful kooking sets again.
what I did, I looked at all the original videos
It was great to see all the recordings again.
For hours I sat in front of the TV and enjoyed every minute.
I do not know how many videos you made but I have seen many of them 2, 3 or 4 times.
if i got $ 1 per video then i could spend a weekend in new york and have fun.
I'm looking forward to the next one.
greetings to Nick and your family from germany.
Hello Willem! I'm happy you liked it and even happier you watched the older videos! I'm up to 175 videos now. Thanks for watching and greetings to you and your family
My grown sons thought I was having a senior moment when they caught me busting out laughing and glued to my phone and told em I'm moving back to ga to play in the woods..then they started watching your videos and are now hooked..great videos great ideas many laughs brought us together and we all agree the v grill is amazing..you are inspiring..macgyver of bushcraft🥰
Great to hear that Leah! Now all y'all need to get out and camp together!
You're really creative, Dave and the things you make are useful & practical. I've watched your channel for many years now and nobody else builds genius inventions like you do. Like you,..I always try to think outside the box and make things that you can't buy in stores, and last longer if they were. I'm 48 and have been inventing and building for decades. From one inventor to another...never stop imagining the possibilities of what can be.
Thanks! Great to hear you like the videos and you're also an inventor! Nothing beats making your own gear. Thanks for watching
My friend!!! if I could get my hands on one of those grill contraptions, Brilliant 😎👌and exciting as usual. hot water dispensing cooking grill
I'm glad you liked ii but, I doubt I'll ever make another one like it. That thing took forever to make!
Really appreciate your ingenuity! Very clever grill and stove set-ups. Sorry to hear about losing your friend; it never gets any easier.....
Thank you my friend. Often times we try to not think about friends that passed but some items or objects hold those memories. Thanks for watching
Wow! I' don't know where to start...soooo many options and idea!!! Thanks sooo much for displaying and explaining all of your different ideas and campsite cooking examples!!! Now to decide which ones I like for my particular situations and adapt... Can't say enough good things about your presentation and ideas...all your efforts and presentation are sooo appreciated! Safe bushcrafting to you and yours and I look forward to videos with you and your son and of course 'cats' in your future videos! SAFE bushcrafting to you and yours ALWAYS!
Thanks, I'm glad you liked all of it! I guess theres always a different set up for a different area or intended meal! Thanks for watching
Yes such a great Friday night video . I was waiting for part two! Thanks Mr. Dave!
I'm glad you liked it. Thanks for watching
Your inventions are always great, can't wait too see what the future holds. Oh ans as a Brit I have to say thanks for saying aluminium, Thanks again for all the great work Dave and I shall see you in the next one 😃
Thanks Mike, I'm happy you liked it all. That's the only way I can properly pronounce it! Lol.
You really cracked me up at 4:50 when you noticed your cool hair and how the wind was messing it up!This lengthy demonstration shows your commitment to designing and building cook sets that are simpler yet still provide multi functionality and packability of which you can be very proud.Thanks for your time and effort in producing this display of all your little jewels.Can't wait to see what's next from the creative mind of David Pearson.Hope to see you in the woods in the next one! P.S.With Nick!👍😃
LOL, Sometimes odd things just hit me like bad hair moments. I'm glad you liked it. Nick should be in the next one! Thanks for watching Dale
Thank you so much for showing us how you have progressed over the years !! I didn’t want the video to end !! The cast iron pot if it had a lid made me think of popping popcorn over a fire !! Can’t wait for your next video !!
You are very welcome Pam and I'm glad you liked it. That would be the perfect size for one person popcorn! Thanks for watching
This is the best Video I have ever seen on every possible way to cook under every condition ! I see these so called experts who show the newest products on the market and test them on their channels ! As long as I have access to my Good Will stores and flea markets I will make my own ! You are heads and shoulders above the others ! Thank You Sir !
Thank you David! Yep, no need to buy much, almost every thing you need can be made out of thrift store items! Thanks for watching
Thanks for the video. Fall is here, won't be long and the cool nights with no bugs will be here.
You are very welcome my friend. Bring on the cool weather!
Thanks Dave! You saved my part to the very end. I need to drill the holes all the way through on one tube. I only went through on on side, but seeing that grill again made my day. Still my favorite!
You are very welcome Dan, and I'm happy you liked it! I think the grill tends to stay together better with holes all the way through
Awesome series! ... Man, isn't it the truth -- cookware does tend to pile up over the years; I thank my Lucky Stars I don't weld...I would have stacked up more stuff! I'm experimenting with tin-can stoves now, but those are disposable. :) I use a form of your suspended bowl-cooker in my canoe w/charcoal...works like a charm, & I don't beach on long float trips anymore, to cook. Likewise, I made a simple form of the "tree grill", and it works great, too; ditto for the neat "table daisy", which I made from a bent small dia. rod, closed up with two hog rings, making it collapsible. Thanks for the ideas, Dave!
Thanks Brother, I'm glad you liked it. Man that's so cool you made them items! That's what I like to hear. Thanks for watching
One thing for sure David, You have a very talented mind. Slightly abstract (which a good thing!) and highly ingenious (which is also a good thing) when it comes to making things. Your the "MacGyver" of bush craft camping and cooking! God Bless My Friend!!!!
Thank you Thomas! Slightly abstract is the way to be!
@@Reallybigmonkey1 I couldn't of said it better about ur ability to think out of the box to make cooking utensils!!! Thank you for sharing it and ur wonderful attitude!!
Loved seeing it all! Things I never would have dreamed of! So cool.
I'm glad you liked it Katie! Thanks for watching
Fabulous! Love the little cast Iron grill set up that was to cute. I could see Steak, Fried Potato's and caramel apples in sauce. lol mmm mmmm yummylicious! lol made me hungry.
Thanks, I'm glad you liked it. Now that sounds like a good recipe for the little grill! Thanks for watching
Great video Dave. Enjoyed all of it. Love your fabrication skills.
Thanks Jim, I'm glad you liked it. Thanks for watching
Dave this is a difficult time for me and my family right now, but your videos are putting a smile back on my face! These two videos reminded me of all of your older videos. Now that is sheer joy!! I am so looking forward to some weld-less videos. I always am trying to figure out alternative ways to make this stuff. I was glad to see the machete grill cause it inspired me to make my own version of it. Thanks for everything you do my friend. For everyone that you inspire to venture into nature, make a little fire and cook something .... Even if nature is their own backyard... thank you! The best as always to you and your family from your California friend!
I'm sad to hear your family but happy to hear the videos helped! Sadly, most things need to be welded but I do sometimes try to show things that others can make with bolts or rivets. Take care, stay safe and thanks for watching my friend!
Howdy from Southeast Texas buddy! Good stuff.
It's been years since I've camped and watching these have sparked an interest in going out and doing it right. My pack will be here in a week or so. I've got a place near a creek picked out and still have to buy some rope and a couple of things but I have the rest of my gear. Got an old Buck 102 Woodsman attached to my machete.
I think my tarp's too big. It's a 10' x 20'. I'll make my raised pole bed and then make a Tee Pee over that. The excess will be folded under to make a partial floor to put my pack and guitar on.
Sausage and beans for supper then banock (sp?), sausage and eggs for breakfast.
I'm going to get some photos if you want to see a couple shots of my pole and rope bed and whatever I come up with for that huge tarp.
Hello my friend! I'm happy to hear you're gonna get out and camp again. 10 X 20 is a huge tarp! It's great for a shelter with a floor like you mentioned. Take care and enjoy camping!
I'd be Interested in seeing that setup AirstripBum
I'd love to see your photos of that setup as well, AirstripBum :-).. You sound like me, always took my guitar camping with me. I have noticed that whenever I play, it draws in all the little wildlife :-) (This was not in Bear, Cougar nor Hog country though, FL).. Camp safe, hope to see those pix :-).
I was looking forward to this second part! Great video series dave!
Thank you Jim!
Awesome Dave! that is for all your builds but or however, for folks like me, (up in age, no welding skills lol) all I do is envy what kits you have! Thanks my friend!!
Thanks, I'm glad you liked it all John! A lot cant weld but I figure its cool to see this stuff! Thanks for watching my friend
@@Reallybigmonkey1 Yep it is *so* cool to see all your widgets and gadgets, what a trove! I do not know how to weld (would love to, though), and soldering is useless for this kind of stuff, but there is a whole lot that can be done just with cutting, bending, drilling, linking, and bolting together. And steel office document clips :-). I am building a smoker based upon your design Dave, thanks to your backpack smoker video :-). I use cast iron mostly, so whatever I build has to be very stable and able to handle the weight.
Good one Dave. Cool to see some of these creations again.
Thanks, I'm glad you liked it. It was fun for me to dig this stuff out and take a trip down memory lane!
thanks for taking your time and showing us all these homemade cooking utensils...
You are very welcome and I'm glad you liked it.
Outstanding,been waiting for this part 2. Reminds me of your older vids and why I subscribed to your channel. The treegrilla is my favorite grill you invented, it works great. As long as you make vids I'll watch them all. Thanks brother.
Thanks! I'm happy you liked it and the others. Very hard to say which grill is my favorite but that Treegrilla is easily in my top five!
David....great video again...what a gear room...perhaps you should consider welding a larger gear room...lol...thanks for the fun and your great sense of design! !
Thanks Luanne, I'm glad you liked it. LOL, I think if the gear room gets any bigger I'll have to find a new place to sleep! Thanks for watching
Simply brilliant!! You're a genius David. Thank you for sharing all this with us. 👍😁
Thank you my friend and I'm always happy to share!
Never get tired of your teaching us new ideas, Thank You Brother.
Thanks! Always great to hear that. Thanks for watching
So much awesome gear. I remember seeing alot of that stuff in use. I cant wait till the cool weather comes on... so hot here! I remember that wicked machete! And the shovaxe! Haha. Im gonna be keeping my eyes open from now on at goodwill for any pieces i can find to make a kit.
Thanks, I'm glad you liked it. I think next weekend we will finally see the temps drop here. Hit Goodwill when ever you can! Thanks for watching
Thank you for taking the time to set up all your cookware, show it all to us, and put it all away. I can't imagine how much work that was! You sure have some neat stuff. Great ideas from someone who has worked out the kinks.
You are very welcome and I'm glad you liked it all. Thanks for watching Shannon
Great stuff. There's a few in there I would love to take for a wee campout. Keep on keeping on bud.
Thanks, I'm glad you liked it. Thanks for watching
That’s a great little jewel you created there Chef Dave have a great day 📸👍👍👍👍👍👍📸
Thank you Drew!
Cool stuff. Always fun to make your own gear. I like the tree stoves. You could make the 90 degree part pivot similar to how a tree stand works when folded. Same concept.
Thanks Brother, I'm glad you liked it. Yep, a hinge would be perfect for it. I just haven't perfected a hinge design yet. Thanks for watching
Why not have 2 sockets on the bottom bit?
Outstanding! You’ve got more variables for cooking than y’all can shake a stick at! Really excellent!
By the way I’ve moved and I’m in your fair state now!
I keep you posted of things to come!
Thank you for this video! Very impressive of the different cooking systems!
Whooo Weee!
The Large Man of Toccoa
Thanks Brother, I'm glad you liked it all! Youre in Georgia now? That's cool! Georgia does have a huge film industry now so it doesn't surprise me. Take care and Thanks for watching Brother
I just love your gadgets, I wish I can weld stainless steel ;)
Thanks, I'm glad you like them! It honestly doesn't take too long to learn to weld.
Thanks Dave ! this video is like Christmas morning ... I'm far to busy playing with my new ideas to write a decent comment.
I'll have to get back to you when I've assimilated this & turned out a Dave / Jared collaboration... like that Kong grill turned into my hanging collapse-able temperature regulated grill .
you made my day once again. creativity and innovation makes your channel top of the heap
You are very welcome brother and I'm happy you liked it! I would love to see your creation!
I will be sure to send a link & give you a heads up when I do make a project...
but If you want to see the sketches & parameters for the projects. put your email on my channel ( it wont likely be seen before I erase it ) I'd be happy to show you pictures ect... and any of your thoughts on improvements would be welcome.
Jared Fenwick
I think my favorites are the swamp grills and the smoker 👍👍
Those are fun to cook on!
Yep, you saved the best till last. It was great seeing your WTSHTF grill again with the spout mod. Love the inventiveness of all your cookware. 👍
Thanks! I'm glad you liked all of it! Thanks for watching
Amazing creativity with your camp cooking set ups. The four pan bake & fry is one of my favourites but I must confess a bit of disappointment that chef Dave did not do any actual cooking in these two videos. I've made your bacon & egg plugs on my barbeque and look forward to future cooking based on the wisdom of chef Dave.
Hope you have a great weekend. For us up here in Canada it's our thanksgiving weekend so I will be enjoying turkey and the first weekend of hockey season.
God bless.
Thanks, I'm glad you liked it all. Ah well I would have loved to cook but the video was already over an hour! I have a long list of things to cook soon. Enjoy your weekend, may God bless you too and Thanks for watching John!
Always enjoy watching ur videos Dave!
Add another 4 minutes anytime!
So cool to see these old inventions of urs again!
Thanks! I'm happy you liked it my friend!
i just love the way you think!!! beans and cornbread!!!
Thanks Susan!
Great video David. I'm fond of that smoker you used awhile back ago for those drum sticks you smoked. Very genius.
Thanks! I'm happy you liked it. I've got plenty more recipes for that smoker!
The evil genius of cooking kits, or mad scientist
Lol, thanks!
6:53 If you didn't have two trees, you could drive two or four posts into the ground and put the bungee cords around them.
I recognize the little "odd-looking little daisy-looking device." It was intended to be put on top of an electric stove burner so someone could them put a glass coffee pot or Corning Ware coffee pot on top of it; that would keep the glass from shattering. (I remember these from the 1950's and '60's.)
Your "grills up off the ground" are ingenious! I can see you being the cook on a wagon train going out west or a tinker selling his inventions to settlers. Your innovations are genius. You are truly a unique individual. I agree with others--you should patent your creations; if you don't, it is possible that someone else will. I especially like your smoker and baking bowl.
Thanks for the info and I'm glad you like the videos Nancy!
Dave, this is going to take more than one watching for sure . Happy trails
Great to hear Mike!
Watched both parts for Friday night entertainment! Pretty innovated projects and it shows that you really love cooking in the woods. Thanks for the video!
Sounds great Jeff! I'm happy you liked them both
I have never seen anyone or a video channel that has a bushcraft equipment inventory as awesome as you have.. If they ever have a Bushcraft Academy Award program , you should be nominated and be picked as winner.. You better start working on your acceptant speech.. 🏆
Thank you Gary! Man lets face it, collecting gear is half the fun!
enjoyed every second of this video, fantastic ideas and such interesting content , thank you
Thank you Martin! I'm glad you liked it
I am so glad to see this second part ... after watching Joe Robinet & Fowler’s vids about their time on alone I started wondering if any of your tree grills could be used. These home made cook stuff is awesome
Thanks, I'm glad you liked it Rose. Well yes this stuff would work but, it would be included in the ten items list replacing other gear
Brother you are a very talented metal worker you have inspired me to start making more stuff.
You have the coolest man cave ever. Keep up the good work I can't wait to see what's next.
Sounds great Gerald!
Hello Dave from the UK, I thought I got some idea's from part one ,but this part two is absolutely awesome in fact I've had to write some idea's down so I don't forget them when I'm in the woods my wife even said if I make the grill /oven she'll do the cooking (now there's an offer ) thanks for sharing ♠️
Hello Norman! Sounds great this gave you ideas! Just remember, cooking is half the fun! Thanks for watching
I really enjoy watching all your videos never know what your going to come up with. I to collect camping gear and love messing around with outdoor cookware and stoves keep them coming Dave if we ever met in the woods we would be the two Dave's I really like gadgets would like to have a treegrilla I am going to start gathering some stuff up to make mine you are fun to watch my friend.
Thanks Brother, I'm glad you liked it all. We think a like. Making the cook gear is half the fun! Thanks for watching
As always, brilliant. I really like the tree grills, they are my favorite so far along with some of the other grills. Oh and by the way I went out yesterday and “attempted” to make my first video. Complete disaster so I’m going to make a short one today.
Thanks Brother, I'm glad you liked it. Hey, Im your first subscriber! So now you have to make a video. LOL. Thanks for watching
Thank you so much for sharing your nice ideas and your passionate history of bush craft. I'm very impressed about your passion of bush craft.
I think you are genius, god of bush craft.
I have to say thank you so much thousand times.
You are very welcome Kenshi and I'm glad you like what all I do. Thanks for watching
Me: I'm placing an order for 1 of each.
David Pearson: Not for sale!
Me: 😭😭😭
Really enjoyed all the different configurations! Great work, David!
Lol, I'm glad you liked it. Thanks for watching David
It's like a family gathering watching this video brother! I think I watched 95% of all that gear you were using in the past years and it was like 'hey, I remember this one!" Great ideas you put to life there! Cheers, Marc
Brother it really brought back a lot of memories for me too! I'm happy you liked it all, thanks for watching Marc
Wife and I just finished watching this and we both thank you once again for a super fantastic video. Don't worry, none of your videos are too long. I (and I bet a lot of your other subs) can spend all day watching and learning from them. These vids of you sharing what you have in your gear room are the best. Especially these last 2, they have 'spawned' many ideas in my mind on creating and building/fabricating a few grills/cook-sets of my own, one being a "base-camp oven type set-up. (As matter of fact, now that it is getting too cold up here in the '"New York Freezer" to work on the boat my sons and I are restoring, I just may start on it tomorrow). I noticed you mentioned that you make all of your cook-sets from stainless steel. Is this because of the heat resistance, safety, durability, cost or what? Reason I ask is, my idea might end up a little heavy if I use all stainless and may need an alternative metal. (Dude, you got the gears in my noodle a-turning time, lol!)!!!! Do you ever use or recommend using aluminum? How many sets didn't you show here? I bet a lot of em. My wife was wondering if you are gonna be doing any more actual cooking videos? She was a professional chef before switching her career choice to nursing and loved the ones ya did in the past. Once again, thank you for the time you put into the videos and keep up the great work. And as you would say.....We shall, see you in the next one!!! ~ Vinny
Thanks Vin, I'm glad yall liked it. I use stainless mainly because its tough, long lasting, safe and much easier to weld. Most of my gear is backpacker style so the weight of stainless is no big deal. If yours will be base camp then weight wont matter? Aluminum is very lightweight but much much harder to weld smaller items. Yes, lots more cooking videos to come. We have just been under a fire ban all summer here. Take care and Thanks for watching
The Tree Grills are Amazing! Patent those immediately!
Thanks, I'm glad you like them Mike!
great vid brother youve got some cool ideas that could come in really handy
Thanks brother!
Many of these grills I have seen in your videos.... Seeing the hot water filled grill has given my an Idea for making a water distiller to be used on a fire .It would be a great project video if you made one
Brother that sounds great! I think a distilled would be a fantastic long term camp or survival device.
Hi ya Dave! I’ve seen a lot of ur videos where u used ur different cook sets, the funniest being the 4 pan bake and fry when the biscuit swelled so big u and Nick tried to figure how to get it out! All ur cook sets r neat, wish I had ur skills, but I don’t and have to stay with the simple ways. Question’s; where did u get the two cast irons, brand of/ and where u got ur pants (I love the color blend) also what do u think of stainless steel dog bowls for a cook set???? U know, instead of throwing away what doesn’t work for u, u should send them to me (one mans junk, is another ones treasure) 😊 as always, ur awesome. Thank u
Hello Joy and I'm glad you liked it all! I got the smaller pan from a yard sale and cleaned and seasoned it like new. The other pot came from Lodge and its a sauce pot.www.amazon.com/Lodge-LMP3-Melting-Pre-Seasoned-15-Ounce/dp/B0002CX9FE/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1538836484&sr=8-2&keywords=lodge+sauce+pot&dpID=31YeAppg%252BxL&preST=_SY300_QL70_&dpSrc=srch The pants are whats called MARPT or Marine pattern camo. www.amazon.com/8675-ULTRA-FORCETM-BDU-PANT/dp/B0013RK7SO/ref=sr_1_fkmr0_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1538836578&sr=8-3-fkmr0&keywords=marpat+pants+bdu Thanks for watching
I really appreciate the effort to re-use thrift store items. As we know not all have the skills to wield, especially stainless. We can hunt for little treasures at sales. Also it's not a rock you use to drive the pivot pot in the ground. It's a Alabama Hammer. Always liked when you and your son, camped and cooked. You have some wonderful memories. Can't wait till the next one......
Thanks Jesse. Not all set ups have to be welded. Some can be riveted or bolted. LOL, I tried laying off the Alabama hammer due to slack from co workers. I'm glad you liked them vids, we had great times doing them! Thanks for watching
@@Reallybigmonkey1 it's appreciate you have fun doing this as much as I like watching. Look forward to the next one.
My Lord baby Jesus! That was a lot of cooking grills, bowls, bungy cords, oh he'll a lot of cooking stuff... lol... You crack me up David. I just love it! I would tottaly rock one of your grills if you ever want to pass one off. I like the grills that you place a bowl on one side & fry on the other side... hint, hint... I would come to Georgia & be your cameraman, since Nick can't keep up with you, on any adventures with David P, aka Really Big Monkey 1, just to be able to pick out 1 set up & you can decide which one to pay me with. I would think 3 videos would be alright for trade... lol...... keep me in mind. It's getting cooler & that would work perfect bc I hate the heat!! But we have to have some gator to eat & or shrimp & turf. We could make garlic butter in that small bowl to brush over the shrimp, but 1st we have to cook the stake just with butter then add the garlic later or hell we come just brush it all with garlic & butter. I would drink the sauce that's how well I like it. I put garlic power on my stake anyways so why not? Or have a crawl fish boil. Why not 3 videos of cooking with David in the woods with swamp bugs... lol... that's a good title right there. We could make it a 3 part video. Just let me know when & where & I'll be there & ready to film it with you. I hope I get in the credits, @ the end of our little mini video, that say video tapings by Chris from Missouri... lol.... Oh I'm so excited. Let's collaborate. I can be in Georgia in about 11 hours depending on traffic. Source Google Maps!!
And I can stay for however long it takes to film 3 videos. Probably could even do it in 1 day to. I don't work so it's all up to you!
Well I threw the offer out there so it's in your hands now. Hit me up,
Chris from Missouri
Thanks Chris and I love your cooking ideas! I've always loved garlic butter on shrimp but never tried it on steak. I'll remember your offer as camera pro! Take care, thanks for watching and see ya in the next one!
I'm sure I don't want to go into the woods with someone named stillcrazychris. LOL 😄 On the other hand: I'm a "crazy" granny that's only 4 hours away in Tennessee, willing to help film also.

@@judalu9557 hay I'm a stilcrazychris that's a granny to. And I'm so funny & love'm do ALL THINGS CRAZY, that now I need knee replacements, but keep on keeping on, & fun.... lol....
I gots an idea...... LETS ALL GO INTO THE WOODS & JUST HAVE FUN.....
Now that's a great idea....

Another great video demonstrating your problem resolving abilities. I believe I've seen most of these solutions in use on your previous videos, so I know they are functional. I'm also real glad I didn't see those skull-filled house slippers! Now has to be a great time to get out in the woods down there in Georgia, so take a beak and get some fresh air before Nick has to get back to school... Thanks again for the video. BTW, I think it would be a neat idea to turn that water grill into a larger unit that can also double as a backpack rack. If you put a couple of loops into that tap, you could also use it to distill water in larger volumes ... I'll be thinking about this! Doc Tom
Thanks Doc! I'm happy you liked it. Lol, those skull slippers accidentally "slipped" into that video. Lol. I'm putting more and more thought into some kind of distiller. Thanks for watching my friend
Regarding 24:00. Use black binder clips to attach the carbon fiber to the v-grill as a wind shield. Since the binder clips are all metal they won't burn, but be careful when dismantling as they will get hot. The binder clips will survive a high temperature as we use them to hold the parchment or wax paper onto roasting pans... So paper won't fall in during roasting turkeys or baking brownies. Binder clips are also light weight. ❤🌅🌵
Thanks Suzi. I hadn't even thought about using them!
Good afternoon! Just relaxing enjoying watching another video. When the news starts boring me I like to turn on your videos. I learn a lot. So thanks.
Good evening Annie and thanks for watching!
Dave, Great video! On the big grill, instead on welding the bottom rods solid, have them hinged to fold up and
fold down into welded lugs. (Hope that makes some sense to you?)
How much water does the tube grill hold? Great design. Hope you build the coffee maker.
Thanks, I'm glad you liked it. Ive messed with hinges on these before but haven't perfected it. I need a good weldable hinge design. Tha grill holds about 1 quart. Thanks for watching
Awesome video Dave very cool homemade camp cooking gear !! Thanks for sharing Brother !!
Tree grilla is very cool
I'm happy you liked it and I'm always happy to share brother!
Thanks!
hi dave i was watching coyote works the other day it was a rerun from feb 2018 oregon mike was on with casey and mike was cooking 2 steaks on one of your super grills what a surprise lol have fun stay free
Man that's pretty cool! I sent out a few grills years ago but forgot who all I sent em to!
Dave you are a genius and I know from past video you are somewhat a machinist. Those cook sets and tree tables are fantastic. I’ll try and Mcguiver something for the spring and summer from what I can gather around. You never cease to amaze me.
Thanks! To me making this stuff is half the fun!
