Bushcraft Breakfast Bannock 

"Learn to get by with what you need and nothing more" Brilliant. I love your approach.

Powdered cappuccino in the bannock mix... now that's what I call bushcraft. So many folk equate this lifestyle/hobby/skillset to Rambo and "eating things that would make a billy-goat puke" makes tips like that truly priceless.

i've been watching your videos religiously for about 5 years now. and I still appreciate every single one of them. Thanks brother!

I'm camping vicarously through you Dave. Thanks.

Soundtrack tune is Badhorse - Back in the Woods

Dave, it doesn't ever seem to matter what you post for a video, there always good and educational to watch. Thanks brother for sharing.

Straight forward, zero BS. Good information. Love your videos Dave.

For those asking the knife is the pathfinder scout only it has a flat grind. And the pack is a duluth bushcraft pack. Great video.

Thanks for showing me this song im going to listen to this every time i go fishing hunting and camping like its the perfect song for the occasion

And bow i'm hungry. :) thank' you Dave not just for this video but for all that you've made! Your approach to a "less gear=more knowledge" attitude it's great! after all we don't need much to appreciate the woods! Greetings from Portugal!

Thanks Dave!!! You're awesome... Looking forward to future videos.

keep doing you thing Dave. i love your genuine spirit about things. i really enjoy how you strive to improve everyone's stay in the wilderness.

Im 17 and am getting into living like they did in colonial time and was wondering if you could recommend a affordable splitting axe.

Great video brother. You got it right Dave, Simple is best in the bush. Thanks for the trip back in time my friend!!! Take care...Rod

I came to RU-vid to learn new things and found your channel. That was about 3 years ago and I have to say this is still my favorite channel! I continue to learn and be inspired each time that I visit. Well done.

Dave, you are a master of the outdoors, a veritable demigod of nature. Appreciate the entertainment and top quality information as always.

Heck yeah, you're a true bushcrafter Dave. I admire your skills.

as always, Dave is simply the best

love the camp cooking videos. i also like how you take a cooking video and also make it a lesson on how to properly build a fire. thanks for taking the time to make this Dave

Great to see you’re doing well Dave. I would never watch dual survival unless you’re on the show. I can tell life is treating you well because you seem to have gained a little weight. It happens to the best of us. It only goes to prove that our Father in Haven takes care of children and old folks. Good Bless.

Thanks for the response. That haversack is a gem.

Another informative and entertaining video. I can't thank you enough. I have 100 or so cable channels but too often can't find anything worth watching. RU-vid is the new media and you are one of the pioneers. I'm sorry about DS, but your work here is better than TV ever was. God bless.

Hey Dave the spine of that blade looks like it's been shown some major love!!! Keep the videos coming brother.

I've done both travelled really light and brought everything under the sun while in the woods. It all depends on the season and lenght of time I'm heading out. I do a lot of camping all year round and really appreciate comfort when sleeping, so I don't go without my army cot and propane stove.

Another awesome video Dave. I start all of my fires with fatwood as well. I collect it every time I see it back in the woods. Thanks for all you do Dave. You inspire me to try new things all the time.

Dave, love this video. Stay humble.

You are my inspiration, I am a 14 year old city boy and for 4 years I have been practicing Survival and when I found out about you I watched all your videos, your a great man in my opinion and one day I hope I could meet you, it would be like meeting The God of Survival, I have learned so much from you and I hope you realize the impact you have on young kids these days, some really need to be taught some good self-reliance, Thanks Again.

The knife Dave is using is the old style PLSK Scout made by Blind Horse Knives. The new PLSK Scout is available from Dave's web site, but it is Saber ground rather than flat ground. If you wanted one like the old style flat ground PLSK Scout you might be able to get one if you contact Blind Horse Knives directly. It would be a custom knife, but their prices are quite good for a custom knife maker. Expect to pay at least $250 for a knife that big.

I tried bannock for the first time on a wilderness course here in the UK. I am definitely going to have a go with your recipe. Thanks for sharing. :)

This is a pretty neat trick I learned. Keep the bannock a little more dry and wrap it around a stick. Then you can cook the bannock over the fire like it's a marshmallow.

Here in Australia, Bannock is called Damper, Aboriginals used pigweed seeds crushed into a flour for a seed bushcake/damper.

hi Dave, If I only knew what you have learned and forgotten about survival and bushcraft I would chuck the modern life and find a way to just live out in the woods and off the land all the time. keep up the good work and please, keep them videos coming.

Dave, this was right up my alley. Enjoyed seeing the tarp canoe camp set up as well as the rest. Well done. Hope to see more like it soon.

Great vid bro. Bushcraft breakfast vids has become one of my favorites to watch.

Your food videos are my favorite!

Excellent video mate gonna try and make some bannock in my back garden this weekend with my daughter.

May the wind be always at your back and your path rise to your feet. And thank you for happily soldierin on. Heck, in truth, what you put up for us all here, is better than, and better FOR folk than anything Hollywood would have you do.

Dang, Dave, that looks down right inviting!!

Nice tip on the the cap instead of milk. I make my bannock as a super food using a heart healthy vitamin enriched oatmeal, powdered eggs, and flower but its a bit low on total cals. So i was adding sugar, but the cap should up the cals. Well adding benefits the sugar can't.

hey dave good to see you back into the vids of old just dave out there doing it the old way thanks bro

Thanks for that video dave some great ideas, I still miss you on duel survival good luck in your future you are awesome. .

Glad to hear that theme song again. Food looks tasty. I'll have to try and make that. Thanks.

Great video Dave. I might offer a tip that I learned from reading Sigurd Olson books. Prop your pan beside the fire so it will get the heat and bake from the top.About 20 minutes of slow heat results in a golden brown cake,

Good stuff Dave...keep them coming

Dave I love vids like this, where its just you out in the woods having a good ol time! Keep em coming brother and God bless!

Always good seeing and learning stuff from ya Dave. Have a good one.

killing it with this series Chief! these have been an absolute blast to watch and grab tips from. well done!

Thanks a lot Dave...now I'm hungry for bannock!

Iv followed you for years, first time post.. I live in the south west of England { The original Plymouth } I have Dartmoor on my doorstep, surrounded by coast and countryside ... you have a lot of cracking tips.... You make sense, not just filling a video with crap and dead time ... cheers Dave keep up the filming.. Stephen Young

You are correct simplicity is best. Wish we could share your morning bannick and hot coco. Very relaxing video.

Great video Dave.. Thanks. I am I was eating something while watching.. that bannock made me hungry.

nice one Dave, excellent work

Great video!!! Keep up the good work Dave

Great video Dave thanks

Great video !! God bless !! Thank toy for sharing !!

Man, this takes me back to the Journal of the Yurt series. Coco and camp bread :) Great work DC. Keep on it brother.

wow dave great ideal with the coffee powder replacing the powdered milk ill have to give that a shot

Another great video Dave. Thank you. Simpler is better!

God I love this song. Nice use of some gypsy dust. Always keep a tin of that stuff on my every day carry

hi dave, been following your progress for a while now. i can really appreciate the effort you put in to improving your own skills and passing it on to others. pathfinders has really set you free to grow beyond the generic survival lessons. might just be the best thing that could have happened :)

Great vid Dave!! You always make me want to get off of my computer.

Me and hot Cocoa get along really well too! Great video Dave, thanks so much.

Great little video. Looks like you are enjoying yourself

A wealth of knowledge there...too bad you couldn't have your own show..no matter what happened with DS you still have mad skills and obviously always learn more so you can share...I don't run back to see if you allow any of my comments..not sure if you even read them...but in any case..much respect..blessings for you and your family:)

Love your cooking videos!

You turn the ordinary into extraordinary.

That's the truth man. When I'm out in the woods, I eat less than half of what I eat at home and never feel hungry. It's so easy to pre-mix and carry some kind of flour based concoction for biscuits, muffins, or bread. I've learned to make one big old muffin at a time using the Pathfinder SS cup, aluminum foil, the cook ring. One of those bad boys smeared with honey keep me going all day.

i agree with doug c, this vid is great. i injoy your bushcrafting info most of all but you cover other things that are well and all good to for people who need it

Man I miss seeing you on TV Dave.. but we're lucky to catch you here on RU-vid. Thanks for taking the time to make some videos for us and teach us your craft. Sounds cheesy, but If thre's any way I can get your autograph on something please send me the info for that... Thanks for sharing your hard work. Andrew

Rock on dave. Keep up the great job you are doing. Hope to get up to you're school someday. Cb75

Bannock is the great thing either as breakfast,lunch or dinner.

As alway great vid Dave!!!

Love what you do for all on here great teacher keep up the good work

Cool stuff! Thanks for posting!

Good stuff Dave!!! Thanks for all you do!

like your theme song. Fits perfectly.

dave you rock man

Dave, I continue believe you have one of the best channels on youtube. Keep up the great vids!

Looks good, I love wild black berries. I make my flat bread like a tortilla same ingredients as you except instead of lard or any milk or dry milk although the nut flavor as you said sounds awesome, I use melted unsalted butter. Great breakfast share .. thanks.

Great good info thanks dave

that was nothing but good stuff! Thanks a lot.

Looks tasty, Dave. Spot on.

Powder capuccino for the mix! That's genious man!

Your awesome dave

THX DAVE !! You "DA MAN"!!!!

Any good biscuit recipe will work for bannock bread. If you already have a recipe, mix dry ingredients & divide into ziplock bags according to how much bread you want to make each time. Then, just add approx the same proportion of water to mix ratio to cook. For basic biscuits I like to use self-rising flour & shortening of choice. For liquid mix powdered milk & water. Add white vinegar (1 tbs/cup) & set set for 5 min. This is a substitute for buttermilk. Lots of variations that'll work, 2.

Great video, I really enjoyed it.

Great Video!! I'm quite new to bushcraft but tried bannock with dried tomatos and some basil on my charcolegrill and it was great. Hope to find some blackberrys in autumn to try this one. Keep it up!!

Awesome video! Thanks!

Good one brother, to be in the woods is not just survival , have to have your moral boosts with you :)
