Thanks Dave. Really enjoy this series. Intro shots of you hunting and the fire are excellent. As you teach me, I am able to pass this knowledge on to my son. Much thanks. Keep it up!
Thanks for the vids Dave. Im here in mid west Ohio and me and my buddies watch all your vids and use alot if your teachings. Your a great inspiration to us all. Keep It Up
Dave there is something else you can do with that. Put a crumbled up biscuit in that cup. Its an old southern thing my Grandmother used to feed me. She'd mix just plain cocoa with water, sweeten it up a bit with sugar. Chocolate syrup on biscuits. You could do that with what you have there, substitute the cocoa with hot choc. Try it, its good.
Just some advice for cleaning up some sooty implements. Take a piece of charcoal and a small amount of water and basically scrub the implement down with the charcoal, adding a little water to "grease" it through. IT WORKS WONDERS!
One of my favorite go to foods is Rice; carried uncooked in, plastic bag lined, Tube Socks; seal the liners and tie the Tube Socks together; this setup can easily be carried in your backpack or around your neck. My favorite way of eat cooked Rice; add Brown Sugar to taste, Tbs Butter and Milk.
Nice! The only thing I would do different is add a little salt. I will have to give this a try. I do low fat, vegan, starch based diet based on Starch Solution. This would fit right in with that.
@bordinco90 He's showing what the longhunters used and did. Since this is America and not an eastern country corn is a lot more prevalent then wheat so it is a lot easier for them to get a hold of a large amount of corn and process that into flour then it is for them to get wheat (which grows a lot more in the east). At least I think that's the case LOL. Btw corn flour taste WAY better than regular flour :D
I had a old guy make something like this on a scout trip back in the mid 80's who added raisins, cinnamon and a little brown sugar... We cleaned the cups out... And begged for more.
dave i don't have a kitchen right now so i gonna give you a idea and let you tell me if it works. dehydrated eggs and instant grits. heat the water and mix and eat i just don't know about the consistancey but it sounds good to me. let me know how it turns out. GOOD JOB MY FRIEND KEEP UP THE GOOD VIDEOS
This is good basic survival food that was used a lot in the US by low income families in the 1930s, 1940s and even the 1950s. It was referred to as just "mush". When I was young and we didn't have anything else to eat, my mother also made cornmeal gravy. Trust me, you DON'T want to eat that. :/ Nice hat Dave. Can you tell me the brand and maybe the place of purchase? Thanks.
Two things come to mind that me and my dad tell each other a lot, 1. K.I.S.S.-Keep It Simple Stupid, and the 6 P's-Prior Planning Prevents Piss Poor Performance. Great Video by the way.
Depends on the wildlife in your area I suppose. Personally I like to keep any thing food or food-esque away from where I sleep and suspended from a tree. Most of my camping has been done on the west coast and while I can't speak for the east coast I know here there are quite a few bears and they have very good noses and sealed in a container or not they'll smell it. I used to just hang the food but after having a bear rip into my pack for tooth paste I hang anything with an odor.
@Deriust America does things weird to the rest of the world. Cornflour in the rest of the world is cornflour. in the us, its called corn starch. Cornflour in the usa is generally corn meal. and yes there is a difference between the two. a simple check on the ingredients list should clear it up for you
Haven't had a chance to check out your store yet, just watching some videos on my cheap so so smartphone, but I was wondering if there is basic wilderness cookbook similar to what you are doing in the videos. Too bad household dvd players can't play computer video formats for learning at home where traveling to the Pathfinder school is out of the question..
I was wondering what your take on having food in camp is. I've seen people who always insist on suspending a foodbag in a tree well away from camp every nite, others that leave their food in camp. I wanted to know your opinion on it, thanks.
HHHAAA !! 2nd rule applies around here too ! One hard well learned rule I has was,,never lay out a bed roll in the dark,,I did that once and next morning was bitten head to toe from ants because I had covered a ant nest ,,took nearly 2 weeks to heal up from all those bites ,,so watch out where you spill the sugar -if it warm weather ..Great Video works you share,Thanks
What's that spoon on there? I have a few, but that's the first one I saw that is just a short regular spoon. I guess someone COULD always use the spoon from their house, maybe bending the handle first to shorten it.
The 5 sec rule .. love it lol i say that all the time and watch people get grossed out or tell me i'm disgusting lol .. i look at it say fine more food for me. people in the use throw away 60% of all food produced in this country but its going to take a more then a little dirt to make me one of those sheep. wonderful video brother. if you had your goat you could fry drips of it on a rock and make corn flakes.
@Mozartghost1791 your local supermarket or cheapo store will sell metal bottles. portable wool blanket?? arent all blankets portable ? lol.. your local opp shop/red cross store will sell them
@tblbaby The two cracks at the start of that last post were joking around. I read it & it sounded like I was being a disrespectful smart ass, nope, just being funny to myself if no one else.
So this is what we call poor man's grits in the south, and any good southern would cringe at the site of someone putting sugar in grits. Butter and salt only, but since you're in the woods; salt only!
One tip I learned from an old Mohawk Indian when I was about 12 years old was to mix equal parts of salted butter with brown sugar together in a plastic bag, and to store it in the freezer. I was told to take it with me whenever I ventured out in weather below 20 degrees F, and to eat it when I was feeling weak or tired, I have done this ever since, and it has helped me at least a half dozen times when I needed an energy burst.

Dave, After watching your video, I had to come up with my own redetion. So, I took a cup of old fashion oats and ran them thru the blender for a few seconds. I had oat flour to which I added 1/4 cup grits and 1/4 cup farina/ cream of wheat. No I just add 1 tablespoon instant milk and about a third cup of the mix to one cup of hot water, add a little sugar and some cinnimon and I have a quickie breakfast. I have yet to try this on the trail but I believe it shows great promise.
I live less than 3 miles from one ethanol fuel plant and 6 miles from 2 more. if the wind is either straight north or straight south it smells like hot breakfast cereal. it is a good situation when the odors from an industrial plant make you hungry
@bikenutter1 thats what many people it for breakfast in my country. You can also bake bread with ground oat and and some kind of flour. its best with whole grain stuff
made me some of this last night while at the camp site, and again this morning, you can put it in boiling water 3 to 1 and stir until it gets real think poor out into a pan eat like that or let gel up then fry it up.
The mayans actually used to make a hot drink that was corn meal and chocolate with some chilies. Here is a link to the recipe: it really warms you up on a cool day and fills you up. You could substitute the raw chocolate beans for a raw powdered chocolate. The raw chocolate has endless uses and is full of all kinds of nutrients like manganese, fat, fiber, protein, antioxident, and iron and calcium. It has to be raw chocolate though.
Dave how do you like those MUCK boots? reason i ask is myself i can't stand rubber boots my feet sweat to much in them. I bought these dunlop rubber boots and the're rated to -50c. I use them for work, I work in northern Alberta Canada. They keep my feet warm but my feet are soaked with in a few hours of having them on. Last thing I want is wet feet in minus 40-50 temps that just ain't no good
Hey Dave. I've been meaning to ask this for a while, What do you think about carrying a little alcohol jet stove, such as a penny stove, or a small wood gasifier? Alcohol and the left behind Charcoal have their own versatility. The stoves weigh little and the space these items take up can be offset by storing other items inside them. So I was thinking that it might be useful to carry one or both of these little things.
haha I realized at around 5:30 that you were talking about HOT cereal. Things started making a lot more sense. ;-) I continue to enjoy this whole series, and I hope to get out and try it all sometime. Oh and I really like the "passing on the tribal knowledge" tagline on one of the previous videos. I like what it says about your videos, as exemplified by this series.
Did they have self rising Corn Flour? Did you ever try shooting anything with trail mix out of a shotgun? I love the way you go with simplicity over hype. Simplicity & practicality is versatile, effective & saves lives. I can't tell you how much the hyped crap to get attention of zipper heads & basically whore out such important subject of teaching bothers me. Good stuff Dave.
Dave, or anyone really, when you say corn flour....I have bought straight cornmeal, and the cornmeal that has the self rising flour and salt or whatever already in it, but I have yet to see anything call corn flour. Am I missing something? Any help (or maybe a kroger brand name) would help. Thanks!
dave i have a question, u ever watched true grit with john wayne he had in his sack what he called corn dodgers what were those and were they carried alot by frontiersmen ? or was that just holywood make believe and second i love that pack u have were are they for sell at
Im little bit off topic right here, but i thought of high rubber boots before, and now i see u wear them, so what would you say:). I mean compared to some leather boots, witch of them are more reliable and what would you choose for what enwironment? Thanks
SIMPLICITY!! Using the ole KISS (Keep It Simple Stupid) system works everytime! I kinda thought you might stir in a bit of that Pemmican you made the other day? Hmmmm? Five years till I retire then I'm growing a thick woolybooger beard like yours! Lol
I gotta try the trick you use to move your bottle out and into the fire.. how tick should the stick be? Seems kinda like it might be alittle bigger chance for it to slip and spil the water? or is it a good trick?
@friendbowhunting Get your sleeping bag SOAKING wet... enjoy your sleep.. as dave has told a large number of times.. wool is the ONLY fabric that holds over 80% of its insulative value even when soaking wet....
Get a rougher ground cornmeal and you can do that, then take the "cereal" out when it is good and clumped. You can then toast those "cakes" of the "cereal" over the fire and you have a really great treat.
@KillerFlyingFish...there is going to be a season 3 of dual survival. But Dave will not be a part of it due to family commitment/pathfinder school commitment.
Thanks Dave. Really enjoy this series. Intro shots of you hunting and the fire are excellent. As you teach me, I am able to pass this knowledge on to my son. Much thanks. Keep it up!
"five second Rule" - love it.Looks good Dave. Love the fork branch pour trick. It's the simple stuff...
Thanks for the vids Dave. Im here in mid west Ohio and me and my buddies watch all your vids and use alot if your teachings. Your a great inspiration to us all. Keep It Up

Btw corn flour taste WAY better than regular flour :D
Grits, freeze dried sausage crumbles, salt and pepper. Prepare the same way you just did the cereal. That will stick to your ribs. Yum yum.
I had a old guy make something like this on a scout trip back in the mid 80's who added raisins, cinnamon and a little brown sugar... We cleaned the cups out... And begged for more.
dave will go down in history as the next nesmuk like if you agree!
It call porridge
Sweet condensed milk
Evaporated milk
Vanilla
Nutmeg
Cinnamon
Salt
Sugar
Just sweeting to your likeness
Good breakfast meal
💯
Ha ha, just admiring your 'winter coat' too Mr C!
Thanks for another good vid.
Stay warm and well.
Came here after watching Gordon ramsay, and I must say, Dave is a MUCH better cook lol
This should be a curriculum in school!.
that's pretty slick idea using that forked branch to tilt your cup, brother
dave i don't have a kitchen right now so i gonna give you a idea and let you tell me if it works. dehydrated eggs and instant grits. heat the water and mix and eat i just don't know about the consistancey but it sounds good to me. let me know how it turns out.
GOOD JOB MY FRIEND KEEP UP THE GOOD VIDEOS
i watched your show just this morning and when i went to the store i got myself some corn flour and brown sugar. it just looked tasty.
This is good basic survival food that was used a lot in the US by low income families in the 1930s, 1940s and even the 1950s. It was referred to as just "mush". When I was young and we didn't have anything else to eat, my mother also made cornmeal gravy. Trust me, you DON'T want to eat that. :/
Nice hat Dave. Can you tell me the brand and maybe the place of purchase? Thanks.
Dave really cool trick with the cordage and the bottle and the 5 sec rule rocks great video thanks
Two things come to mind that me and my dad tell each other a lot, 1. K.I.S.S.-Keep It Simple Stupid, and the 6 P's-Prior Planning Prevents Piss Poor Performance.
Great Video by the way.
I'm also curious as to where you acquired that backpack.
Depends on the wildlife in your area I suppose. Personally I like to keep any thing food or food-esque away from where I sleep and suspended from a tree. Most of my camping has been done on the west coast and while I can't speak for the east coast I know here there are quite a few bears and they have very good noses and sealed in a container or not they'll smell it.

loved the video , i was actually hoping you would say what was in your pack so it was awesome , tryin to get the single shot 12 ga for christmas
I was wondering what your take on having food in camp is. I've seen people who always insist on suspending a foodbag in a tree well away from camp every nite, others that leave their food in camp. I wanted to know your opinion on it, thanks.
Could you do more videos with you roughing it out in the wilderness please?
is that bag made by deluth pack and could u give the details i would need to know to look into purchasing one? thank you
@wildernessoutfitters Aren't those a bit hot for that kind of weather? Do you take anything out?
that should be the corn flour cereal commercial!
Great videos.
hey you said you can make a lot of stuff with corn flour , can you list them ?!
what type of pack is that, and is there other versions that also have the axe sleeve
How come you carry corn flour? Why not regular flour? Just curious.
Hey Dave what is your axe handle wrapped with?
HHHAAA !! 2nd rule applies around here too ! One hard well learned rule I has was,,never lay out a bed roll in the dark,,I did that once and next morning was bitten head to toe from ants because I had covered a ant nest ,,took nearly 2 weeks to heal up from all those bites ,,so watch out where you spill the sugar -if it warm weather ..Great Video works you share,Thanks
@wildernessoutfitters could you tell me what kind of cup that is sir?
Grits??
I knew you looked and sounded familiar, lol. I always use to watch Dual Survival. Definitely subbing up.
great vid as usual bro
Thanks Dave , The One Who Survive , Are The Ones Who are Educated , and The Ones Who Swallow Their Pride
damn this made me hungry. i wanna go buy cornmeal just to try this lol
Sweet beard, bro
What's that spoon on there? I have a few, but that's the first one I saw that is just a short regular spoon. I guess someone COULD always use the spoon from their house, maybe bending the handle first to shorten it.
Is it like poridge !??

I'm diggin the beard Santerbury ;)
;Ghost
@MrSchpankme Sounds like what i make.Call it rice pudding, yum
Add the sugar to the flour before you add the water. If you have trail mix, add the fruit to the the cereal too.
Hey its buff santa
@survivalist007 brush it off...
You just made an atole
8th
dave u look better without ur beard

Dave... my Grandaddy called that 'mush'... He grew up on it! Dang... I miss him...
Grits! I love it! Something else some of us do 'round here is mix some sweet corn bread and milk together...great eatin'! Please keep 'Em comin'!

do you know ninjas watch your channel :)
Looks tasty, adding this to my pack. Keep up the hard work brother!

You can also bake bread with ground oat and and some kind of flour. its best with whole grain stuff
You no longer carry hot cereal with you Dave?
Also.. are they any wild edibles around you to toss in there?
made me some of this last night while at the camp site, and again this morning, you can put it in boiling water 3 to 1 and stir until it gets real think poor out into a pan eat like that or let gel up then fry it up.
5 second rule? I hope you do not believe that old wives tale lol?
If you are going to be in one place for awhile, how often do you/I change the bed of leaves?

I swear some people must see a video like this and not even watch it but push dislike...how could you dislike a informative video like this???
I have went out to a few sports store and haven't found "bank line". what you are using, is it equivalent to 80 lb test braided fishing line?
looks almost like it would be similar to grits, but the corn flour probably isn't any where near the consistancy of regular corn meal.
@deadbishop cornflakes if you got milk just saying fry/bake it in small drips/chips. muffens pancakes .. the list is endless
