I love watching you cook. And it is so awesome seeing how you encourporate all the different things you have done or crafted, into the process of your cooking. Like how you made your own salt from the ocean water, probably snared the rabbit, and shot the duck with your bow. For all I know you could have even grown and dried the lentals. You are really awesome, Mitch, thamks for all your videos, I greatly appriciate them. All my best, Debra
This is good cooking. I tried your recipe and have to admit that the duck fat was what really brought the flavor out in the rabbit. Good stuff brother.
These videos just make me happy :D Seine someone enjoy a meal alone in the would, the way it she be eaten jut brings me peace. just got a rabbit today. I wish the best - Jake
I could almost smell that stew. Good job. I have a question for you [and maybe an idea for a video?] When you're planning long adventures in the bush, how do you go about planning your menu? I know you hunt and fish and forage, but those are unknown values. Do you 'guesstimate' how much you'll bring and how much you'll catch, or do you just cut trips short when the ratio doesn't work out as planned, and the food runs out early? I'm planning several 21-day excursions this spring/summer and I'm kind of anxious about my menu choices.
If we had smell o vision we would track you down for a bite of that lol I know the smell has got to be fabulous, thanks for sharing your friends in Arkansas
For sure man, this was after everyone left the last morning of a NS Rendy, i stayed and knocked out 6 vids, you can easily see which belong from that session when looking at the upload list page ; my old camp, miss this camp i loved it. You couldn't make this Rendy, i dont recall why but we discussed it of course.
hey man! love your channel, and i really appreciate you sharing your awesome knowledge. it'll take some time to absorb. a bit of a tip from a professional cook: if you want to really extend the value and nutrition of your bones when you make a soup/stock-- cover the bones fully with water (especially when you had this many!) and cook it covered for a long time. you can reserve it and save it for later (granted you have the space) or take of the lid and reduce it down a bit to a desired amount. either way-- you really get all the marrow and other good stuff out! then you can add veggies and other bits/pieces 45 mins before you want to eat. only a suggestion. i love making long stocks/soups because i know i'm appreciating all the magic that's in there. thank you so much for everything! be well.
Rabbit , the other white meat. Do you carry any selfrising (Bisquick) flour and powdered milk. Coulda made some dumplings to go with that lovely stew. Love food cooked over a wood fire.
Great meal Mitch, I can smell it from here lol . Do you have a video with your process for harvesting that "Sea salt" ? If I'm not mistaken those woods look like New England to me ! ( I'm in Massachusetts )
I've cooked rabbit, but not over an open fire - that's the key - looks like this one was GREAT! I cooked mine in a pot layered with potatoes, onions, carrots and celery, with chicken stock and other things like pepper/salt, sage - okay, but not as flavorful as NativeSurvival's woodland meal seems to be!
Hey bro long time no see :) bacon instead of duck fat, carrots, potatoes and garlic in mine. But seeing the lentils you used I'll give that a try next time! Spring is here and the fish are biting :)
Great video. If you don't mind my asking, where did you get the duck fat ?(obviously from ducks) but did you harvest the ducks or acquire it from another source?
looks like you did it right!!! yum. if you had a bigger pot, you could of put the whole rabbit in at once. but it would take up much of your pack! love the vid!!!! where did you get the rabbit???
steve smith ya but i cut the rabbit into stewgatz on purpose for boneless bite sized chunks ready to spoon up from the sauce. i think of it like 14 chunks is 14 bites from the spoon, the bone-in meat is eaten off the bones.
Man I love rabbit stew! I would throw some wild edibles in that. Lord knows there are plenty around this time of year. Or just throw some carrots, peas, and potatoes in it. I am sure your stew turned out very good though. How did you take the rabbit? Bow, shotgun, airgun, trap, or sling shot?
Is there no flies where you live? If I would cut the meat like that on wood log in the forest, I would be surrounded with ants, flies and mosquitoes in just a minute. But looking at the video, it seems like it's around Spring or Autumn. Less bugs during these seasons ;)
Looks great man! And you say it's an easy way to eat in the forest? Could you do a video about gathering/hunting certain things? Like the duck fat, I don't know how to get/make that. Cheers man.
It would have been much quicker to just joint it. Cooking with the bones on creates a good stock for the stew and once its done you can pick the joints out pull the meat off them and put the meat back in for another 20 mins.
well what a great effort you gave. You and the rest of the guys all done amazingly and please don't take offence but I thought the choice you made going in the first place given your family circumstances and the reason you tapped out was a very brave noble thing to do. a man with your courage should be admired by all! all the best from Rainy Scotland.
Amblix Then get out one day and experience it! It's great fun, you could probably even go on an organised camping trip to a forest or something with a community group if that's possible. In Britain, typically Scotland, there are loads of good places to go, although most are usually in field lots that you pay a small sum to camp in for the night, coastal caravan sites often have a camping site next to them. And if you have/will have children, then I make it your duty to offer them as many experiences like this as possible my friend!
Amblix Although I will be honest, it's not the most comfortable of experiences unless YOU make it comfortable, putting grass or ferns under the tent to soften the ground, and taking extra blankets is vital. I have been on several miserable trips, just 2 years ago when I was 16 I went to a field near my home village with a group of friends, all I had was a too-small sleeping bag borrowed from a friend, after a horribly hot day of almost dehydrating, it rained and thundered all night and all morning, I shivered for about 2 hours after the annoying "banter session" we had, with me walking home with just a shirt on in the pouring rain come morning time.
Do you ever have to worry about bears when you cook like that? especially when you have cut raw meat on the logs and that will leave a residue of a sort... Also do you ever carry bear spray? What are your thoughts on that? by the way I love your videos and I watch them faithfully.
Toffeesmom 01 no bears in my area, ive carried bear spray in bear heavy areas, but a nocked bow is what i have at hand first as its a lethal strike rather than nonlethal.
I'm not gonna tell you how to do your thing because if we both get stranded you probably end up eating me 10/10 times. But (I guess if time's not an issue) you could sear off the rabbit in the pot with the duck fat which would also put pieces of rabbit crackling on the bottom to take the stew to the next level.
@@kuwarikutti looks like quite a bit of editing going on there. Sometimes people edit out all the time it takes to make shorter videos. But thank you for the estimate I appreciate it.
GruntBurger lol... duh huh! Ok I wasn't really thinking on those terms. I had a grocery store in mind. But I see you can get it from there too. Ok second question. How do you separate it from the broth when rendering? Just let it cool?
Yeah i always carry 6' logs of firewood to a forest for my fires that way im not leaving as big of a footprint on the forest even though theres firewood laying around at my camp i dont want to disturb it. No trace is the way to go even when carrying multiple trips of logs 1/4 mile into the forest to shoot a little vid, takes all day but i dont mind. Of course it feels kinda weird to harvest and cut up logs of firewood from the woods behind the house just to carry it to another forest that already has firewood. But yeah your right, "got me". thanks
That is life, i would give anything to experience what you do on a daily basis. So peaceful.
But if you would give anything, why not just give up everything and go do it?
Just a suggestion/observation.
OldeVikingOriginal go to the wood kill something and eat it. Simple.
Ikr it seems so nice and relaxing.
I love the videos of you cooking stuff. The acorn bread, the wild berry bannock, the ground oven cooking. Great video, once again.
Devoted Defender I agree, he describes the taste in great detail.
I love watching you cook. And it is so awesome seeing how you encourporate all the different things you have done or crafted, into the process of your cooking.

You have a great channel. I just subbed. Keep up the good work......P.S. I'm surprised you didn't add any wild pot herbs.
Looks really good. looked like domestic rabbit. Think I'll go eat some lunch now. Thanks for the video.
Catherine Perrett right on
OH My Lord!!! I remember this one. Hooollllyyyyy! Totally wish i was there for that one

YAY!! A day time video :) We are in super agreement about soups and stews. To me nothing better. Along with steak of course :P Good vid.
williej1212 most of my vids are in the daylight lol, some at night because its the other half of the day eh?
Great recipe my friend, the sauce looked very delicious.
Bushcraft Cooking thanks, it was unreal
that's amazing, thanks for this video.
Looks great… more lentils! Great protein and all!
Duck Fat is the secret ingredient for many things, great job ..
workingclasswoodsman totally
Looks very good I shouldn't watch these before I go to bed, cause I always get me up getting Hungry and can't stop thinking about it!
Did I miss something? The salt you keep mentioning.... Is it the sea salt you made last year? ... oh, by the way....YUM!!!!
Hey im from new zealand and i love the videos , keep them coming :)
Wykiie De Vantae thanks
goddamn, that looks awesome!
Is that you on the preview for the TV show Alone on the history channel?
Tim Rosanelli yup
Oh, I love rabbit, by the way!
Nice one,I love rabbit but can be a hard meat to cook sometimes.when are you starting the Native Survival bush food cafe,bannock for starters?
Howling Dingo ya i love cooking rabbit, haha cafe LOL
Rabbit , the other white meat. Do you carry any selfrising (Bisquick) flour and powdered milk. Coulda made some dumplings to go with that lovely stew. Love food cooked over a wood fire.
Danish Lady sure is, i carry some other ingredients that work well for other recipes, cool idea on powdered milk dumplings.
Although maybe not ideal, but can you replace the duck fat with anything else and still get good results?
Man you are making me hungry for small game opener September 15. I like to cook a lot of squirrels similar to that while camping out in the woods.
Man that stew looks good!!!! How did you get the rabbit, NativeSurvival?
Wannabe Bushcrafter thanks it was a gift from a buddy of mine.
Great meal Mitch, I can smell it from here lol . Do you have a video with your process for harvesting that "Sea salt" ? If I'm not mistaken those woods look like New England to me ! ( I'm in Massachusetts )
Wanderin' Moose yup i have a vid of making Salt on a fire from boiling down Cape Cod water ; )indeed were in the same area Moose
Cool ! and thanks I'll look it up .
I've cooked rabbit, but not over an open fire - that's the key - looks like this one was GREAT! I cooked mine in a pot layered with potatoes, onions, carrots and celery, with chicken stock and other things like pepper/salt, sage - okay, but not as flavorful as NativeSurvival's woodland meal seems to be!
Hey bro long time no see :) bacon instead of duck fat, carrots, potatoes and garlic
in mine. But seeing the lentils you used I'll give that a try next time!
Spring is here and the fish are biting :)
faron27 right on man
Great video. If you don't mind my asking, where did you get the duck fat ?(obviously from ducks) but did you harvest the ducks or acquire it from another source?
dude, you are the man
graham jones thanks lol
Class video
do you guys drink any beer or alchol related beverage when you are out in the woods or just coffee and water?
looks like you did it right!!! yum. if you had a bigger pot, you could of put the whole rabbit in at once. but it would take up much of your pack! love the vid!!!! where did you get the rabbit???
steve smith ya but i cut the rabbit into stewgatz on purpose for boneless bite sized chunks ready to spoon up from the sauce. i think of it like 14 chunks is 14 bites from the spoon, the bone-in meat is eaten off the bones.
i see. it looked very delicious!! more meal vids please!!!
Man I love rabbit stew! I would throw some wild edibles in that. Lord knows there are plenty around this time of year. Or just throw some carrots, peas, and potatoes in it.
I am sure your stew turned out very good though.
How did you take the rabbit? Bow, shotgun, airgun, trap, or sling shot?
badjujuR6 edibles havnt sprouted yet here, still have snow in a few spots in the woods.
Damn Mitch...looked delicious!!
Ronnie Godfrey haha thanks Ronnie
Reminds me of LOTR where Gollum catches 2 rabbits for Sam and Frodo and Sam makes rabbit stew.
Thanks for the invite
Is there no flies where you live?
If I would cut the meat like that on wood log in the forest, I would be surrounded with ants, flies and mosquitoes in just a minute.
But looking at the video, it seems like it's around Spring or Autumn. Less bugs during these seasons ;)
Looks great man! And you say it's an easy way to eat in the forest? Could you do a video about gathering/hunting certain things? Like the duck fat, I don't know how to get/make that.
Cheers man.
Mike van der velden Sure, but i was referring to making a stew is an easy way to eat in the woods.
Oh, okay.
Thanks for the reply.
I have to ask, did you make that spoon? if so do you have a video on it? if you got it somewhere, then where?
+MBDaghita yes, check my channel, lots of vids.
should try out some porcupine. never had it myself, but I heard its good.
Tip for future: Always sear your meat before stewing it. Especially with the duck fat, it will improve color and flavor.
It would have been much quicker to just joint it. Cooking with the bones on creates a good stock for the stew and once its done you can pick the joints out pull the meat off them and put the meat back in for another 20 mins.
It makes the stew taste funny
Plus u wanna eat it hot
How would you make a bow string if you were lost in the wild....how would you make one
Молодец!
i got so hungry just by seeing this video
Almost a New Brunswick stew, need a miripiox, onions, carrots, cellery, tomatoes maybe. ..
great video man. weird question...are you the guy from the tv series "Alone"?
+Brian Easton yes
well what a great effort you gave. You and the rest of the guys all done amazingly and please don't take offence but I thought the choice you made going in the first place given your family circumstances and the reason you tapped out was a very brave noble thing to do. a man with your courage should be admired by all! all the best from Rainy Scotland.
I mitch looks very good bud
david clarke thanks
never been camping before. still salivating so badly.
+Amblix Never? not even as a young 'un with your parents?
nah. never. parents are immigrants - school was everything growing up. didn't have a whole lot of mind-broadening experiences during my childhood.
Amblix
Then get out one day and experience it! It's great fun, you could probably even go on an organised camping trip to a forest or something with a community group if that's possible.

Did you catch and clean the rabbit yourself?
Do you ever have to worry about bears when you cook like that? especially when you have cut raw meat on the logs and that will leave a residue of a sort... Also do you ever carry bear spray? What are your thoughts on that? by the way I love your videos and I watch them faithfully.
Toffeesmom 01 no bears in my area, ive carried bear spray in bear heavy areas, but a nocked bow is what i have at hand first as its a lethal strike rather than nonlethal.
NativeSurvival thanks!
Sort of shocked to see you didn't smoke that leg meat and loins, that be some great jerkey. Next time maybe?
What is the yellow ingredient? Those seed or grain that he added after salt?
Lentils
I'm not gonna tell you how to do your thing because if we both get stranded you probably end up eating me 10/10 times. But (I guess if time's not an issue) you could sear off the rabbit in the pot with the duck fat which would also put pieces of rabbit crackling on the bottom to take the stew to the next level.
What size pot is that and the brand?
Could you do that on an mar pocket rocket? I can't make a fire in my area so...
Is this something you could leave on the fire over night and wake up to?
+Kenny Kwong No bro, this isn't a damn crock-pot!
+Z-DUB lmao
Damn that looks tasty !😍
looks so good. how long did you cook it for?
+corinne paschen 2mins,,,,,pretty obvious he startscooking at 3:30, starts eating at 6:32 in the video
Let's not get stupid when somebody asks a perfectly reasonable question, OK?
@@kuwarikutti looks like quite a bit of editing going on there. Sometimes people edit out all the time it takes to make shorter videos. But thank you for the estimate I appreciate it.
Carving meat on a log. Does it add to the flavor? Makes me believe the stew will be unbelievable
I have two in the freezer, I guess its rabbit stew this week..
workingclasswoodsman awesome enjoy them ; )
Man. Now I am hungry.
looks interesting but would have liked it better with more talking/description of what you are doing
Duck fat? I'm not familiar with the term is that like chicken broth?
Either way it looks good.
Duck fat is just that: fast rendered from a duck.
*fat
GruntBurger lol... duh huh! Ok I wasn't really thinking on those terms. I had a grocery store in mind. But I see you can get it from there too.
Ok second question. How do you separate it from the broth when rendering? Just let it cool?
From a snare?
i see you eat, and then i see you shaking your head, and i cant help but think "this shit is awful" but it looks really good
Shaking my head at how good it is like "I cant even believe this or put it into words,"
i think it taste better if you put ginger on it...
may i ask wat is the yellow water at 2:42?
He said in the video that it was duck fat
looks delicious wanna share some?
isn't there bacteria growing on the tree bark tho ? it could contaminat the meat no ?
+Dmitrius5 ? nothing to worry about there. Where did you hear that?
Any pathogens would be killed in the cooking.
0:55 "taang"
Never mind the jerkey, that smells awesome.
William Affonso haha
Looks delicious can you give me?
Dude this is freakin delicious
Was he on alone?
+garry corrothers Yes
I'd hate to get lost in the woods with you. I would gain too much weight!
does it taste like really bomb because that looks good
**Sending to Glitchtrap**
Hi do you teach bushcraft skills?
George Pierce Yup
That is one damn healthy rabbit for fall in the SE, judging by the flora. I'm calling bullshit... That rabbit was not harvested from that forest.
+Christopher Long Looks like you assumed something and it didnt work out for you.
thanks
+NativeSurvival ah nope, still a little unbelievable. Kinda like the firewood you brought from the house.
Yeah i always carry 6' logs of firewood to a forest for my fires that way im not leaving as big of a footprint on the forest even though theres firewood laying around at my camp i dont want to disturb it. No trace is the way to go even when carrying multiple trips of logs 1/4 mile into the forest to shoot a little vid, takes all day but i dont mind. Of course it feels kinda weird to harvest and cut up logs of firewood from the woods behind the house just to carry it to another forest that already has firewood. But yeah your right, "got me".
thanks
+NativeSurvival cool story.
Made me hungry...
