Lordy! Pumas are seen rarely in Ohio but I think they are going to start to be more common along with the black bear which is growing in population pretty well. Definitely carrying my .38 more. Cheers brother!
I just this week I started pulling out the Oatmeal. Measured by eye, a little shot of salt, add the water, bring to a boil, rememnace of days long gone. Today I use, liquid coffee creamer and a handful of dried blueberries, they're all gone gotta get more. Sat down and ate that bowl faster than it took it to write it! A perfect video, Mr D., for anyone else watching, p
That sounds delicious and something I plan on trying, thank you for sharing. I never considered using creamer before. Oatmeal is usually one of my staples for weekend camping too!
I always just use dirt or sand. And then wipe it out with a cloth. You don't have to worry about boiling a little bit of water in it before you make your coffee. It can be loaded with microorganisms. It doesn't matter because you are going to boil water for coffee. Boiling water for coffee or soup or whatever else kills and sterilize has not only the water but also the pan. You just want to make sure you clean out all the chunks of food which is where the dirt comes in and then you wipe the dirt residue out with the rag. And to make coffee you're going to want it to boil anyway. Maybe hot chocolate you don't, but your cooking in an aluminum pan, and like I've heard you say in your other video head heats up twice as quickly. The downside is that also cools off twice as quickly that's why they use aluminum as heat conductors. So if you boil it you're not going to have to wait forever for it to cool off enough to drink. If you're by a water source at all regardless of how dirty it is you can dip the bottom part of your pan into the water making sure it doesn't come anywhere near the lid and it will cool off even quicker. I just thought I would throw that out there for you. Also if you are camping in a tiny tent you can always bring a tiny scrap of tarp at least the width of your sleeping bag and at least a little further than what is hanging out I would go a minimum of a foot maybe two. And place it over the foot of the sleeping bag you can tuck it in or however you want to keep it in place that way when it rains your bag doesn't get wet at all. If you were not doing. Historical type camping I would suggest you treat the bottom part of your sleeping bag with clear Flex Seal which would completely make it waterproof. But in your case you don't even want to wax proof it or oil treat it because it would mess up your entire motif. But a little piece of tarp isn't going to hurt anything.
Bacon, eggs and coffee, my kind of breakfast, I am interested in the Hudson bay bread. I just had stewed apples with my flapjacks. Thanks again for another wonderful video, I try to get out as much as I can and often when I cant you sure fill in the gaps. Thanks again !!
Thoroughly enjoyed the video. Brings back memories of when I was in Scouts in the 1960s and 70s. Once I became a patrol leader, then AssIstant SPL, SPL, and JASM I never used a tent, except in the winter. I always had a tarp and slept close by the fire. I did use a pyramid tent as an Assistant Scout Master and Scout Master during the winter. Seeing the stars and waning fire is the best way to fall asleep. If I woke up cold I could grab more fuel and put it on the fire without getting out of my down bag and outer wool blanket. We used a key hole fire lay. So fire and coals could be separated for different tasks. We either brought enough water or camped near water. Packs were heavier back then. I used to build up a rock wall to create a chimney effect for the smoke. Louisiana Hiker uses vertical logs to create the chimney effect which is totally brilliant. Smoke would always drift toward anyone standing by the fire. We used bar soap on the outside of our pots and pans to make it easier to clean, but I eventually let the black soot build up and wiped it but never scrubbed it. I really only needed the inside shiny and clean. A cold water soap soak and scrub with steel wool, and a hot boil or dip finished the task of cleaning. When water was rationed the item was wiped out with leaves or sand. A little soap and water and rinse was followed by turning the inside of the item over the fire to heat up. As far as wildlife, I live near and camp in the mountains of Virginia and West Virginia. I have had one encounter with a mt. Lion, and been charged by bears. And stepped on a few snakes. The mountain lion was definitely the most dangerous. Both the snakes and I were equally surprised. But the biggest problem I had was keeping skunks, coons, and actually a squirrel from trying to checkout what I had. The squirrel managed to run off with some hot chocolate mix. And mice are destructive. It pays to hang your food bag. I finally picked up a Kevlar bag so I don’t have to find a limb to string it up. Coyotes are definitely here and may prove in time to be a real concern. Very glad wild hogs haven’t made it up here. Most things sound loud at night in the woods. which is one reason I like a tarp. I like to see trouble coming or be able to turn over and go back to sleep. I really appreciate what your doing for folks.
The Scout cook kit changed little by the 60s when I was a Scout. Very nostalgic. In those days many hunters still wore the buffalo plaid wool. The old ways still work well in the titanium ultralight age. Aluminum is still safe unless you eat your entire cook kit. Thanks for a trip down memory lane.
@@honorableoutfitters I have one. Only 1,000 were printed in this run and I had an in with the university. Side note I was a Scout for several years and my father, a Hungarian Scout, attended the fourth World Jamboree in '33.
I like hot tea in the morning with a little honey. A trick I learned from old time Ojibwe trappers is to my oatmeal in my tea to save time and extra cooking. Try putting a packet of apple cinamon instant oatmeal in your morning mug.
I don’t normally eat breakfast, as I intermittent fast, but when working on the trail and such I will. A quick breakfast a bunch of us do is oatmeal in coffee, with Ovaltine, and I put a little PBFit powder in too.
AHA! I found this! It is a fine continuation of the series. I might need to check out your cookbook. I have little taste for solo camping: my imagination about 'things that go bump in the night' is far too active.
Thank you so much for making great content.. I really enjoy the historical facts you add . Keep up the great work..oh by the way hi neighbor from Scioto county Ohio
No kidding!? That's great and I am glad you enjoy them. The research and stuff fascinates me due to the ingenuity. I hope the weather is treating you well brother and if you don't like it, just wait a few minutes, lol.
Great video. We need more videos like this great stuff. You should have rendered the fat from the bacon grease. For your next meal. Or your knife and tools. God bless. From Glenn CATT in Massachusetts.
Wouldn't that work best if one were on a longer camp? I would use that fat to fry potatoes or eggs. The salt in the bacon grease might not help iron or steel implements. I would be especially reluctant to coat anything with bacon fat in porcupine country.
Oh, old Hungarian Central European thing for bacon is to skewer it, roast it like sausage. As the grease drips, dab the bacon on a thick slice of bread then return to fire. Repeat until cooked to your taste... Nothing tastes finer in its savagery.
My father had high blood pressure bad so no salt and my mother didn't like pepper or anything spicy hot so she never used it when cooking so that's how I grew up.
I have the opposite problem, I am directed by my doctor to put a bit of extra salt in my diet but truth be told I can't stand eating really salty foods.
I had a funny thought, what if another UA-camr was out filming his morning hike and stumbled across a time traveler camping in the woods. I can see that as a catch title.
They were a gift from a generous and loyal viewer. Others have suggested finding them at Amish stores. I have never been able to find them in a big box store in almost 20 years. You can order them online but they are expensive due to hazardous shipping.
Great video
We got a lot of coyotes here in Indiana to and I have seen two mountain lions right here in Grant County Indiana. And we aren't that far from Lima
Lordy! Pumas are seen rarely in Ohio but I think they are going to start to be more common along with the black bear which is growing in population pretty well. Definitely carrying my .38 more. Cheers brother!
Still a good video. I watched it again. GOD bless. From Glenn CATT in Massachusetts.
Thank you so much!

Good video. Thanks
I appreciate that
I love revisiting these wonderful videos, vitalizes the atavism !
Thank you brother, it will be more of a regular thing starting in September!

And just like that the legendary never previously found Left handed smoke shifter is demonstrated.😂
Lol! So glad I was able to capture the technique for others, haha. Thanks for watching friend!
May I recommend The Frontiersman's Pocket-Book 1909. Reprinted by the University of Alberta in 2012. It is the grandfather of all Scout books.
I have read the digital version on my website, lots of great advice and I love the story of the original purpose of it. Very cool
@@honorableoutfitters I have one. Only 1,000 were printed in this run and I had an in with the university. Side note I was a Scout for several years and my father, a Hungarian Scout, attended the fourth World Jamboree in '33.

Ya know, I'm going to try this! I love honey in oatmeal. The caffeine kick would be a nice benefit :)

Wow, that's quite the wonderful breakfast. Made me hungry, and I've already eaten. 🙂 Good job, thanks for taking us along.
Thank you. It's awesome how food over the fire always tastes better. :)
Great video brother, the stewed apples looked delicious!
It was! You should make some one of these cool nights, and don't forget the bacon grease ;)

@@honorableoutfitters I should add you wrap the bacon in the sodden bread, but thought it a given.
Once again the best ways of camping are the old ways.

That would be awesome! Maybe a future collaboration with one of my favorites...@WayPointSurvival is not that far away from me :D
