Bushpot Chicken and Dumplings 

Love the way you treat your dog. The way a person treats their dog says a lot about them

The way this man treats his dog is better than most people treat each other, man...

"theres only one thing I hate doing worse than dishes, and thats spitting out a dip right before I get on camera"

I love the love you have for your pup. Mans best friend for sure. My lady use to get on me for always sharing with my dog, I can't help it. :)

cant get enough of these camp cooking videos!!!!

You made my day sharing with Rufus. I got in a "discussion" with my step mom last week when she started bitching at me in my own home about giving my Jack Russell the fat off of my steak, (She only feeds her dog dry dog food). She said its bad for them, I say, I don't believe that but even if it is true, I'd rather him die a year sooner than for him to watch his best friend eat chicken, beef, and pork in front of him his whole life and not share. Buddies to the end.

Dave, I used to watch you on Dual Survival all the time. I was REALLY excited to see you had made a RU-vid channel. Really enjoying the vids, and as a dog owner, I really appreciate the fantastic relationship you have with your bud rufus.

20 year old college student. Id guess about 50% of my class mates dont even know how to make a fire. Very refreshing to see these videos.

Dave your #1 in my book! I love how you are with Rufus... cracked me up when you said you hate to eat in front of him without him having his ") I'm the same way 100% He's such a good boy too I can just tell watching him in your videos ~Jaime

This lady finds it extremely sexy when a man treats his pets like family. Rufus is a true chick magnet. My man and I got a big dog a few years ago--we went out right away and got a king-size bed. It made us all very happy.

Dave I think the pup eats better than I do! Enjoying these vids

looking forward to the new book

Great video Dave Canterbury,I've been enjoying these older videos

Rufus loves those garlic biscuits! Every time you open a pack he comes snooping to see what you're up to, haha. I'm definitely going to make this the next time I'm out in the bush. Thanks Dave!

Awesome I️ have to stop watching these late at night. STARVING !!!!

Dandy fine, Dave! I love that dog of yours... his presence brings so much humor to the videos. Think he might want to come visit Alaska for a while? Thanks for another great video Brother.

Rufus rules! It's great that you have him in your vids. You're lucky to have a friend like him. He's never complained about your cooking.

Great video. My 5 year old will enjoy it this spring.

chef David your killing me lloll wo I want some too. love seeing you share with your dog. Blessings to you all!

To: Dave Canterbury - I have never had Chicken & Dumplings ,but I do have to say that looks like an Excellent meal. Thanks for sharing.

Good to see some cooking videos! A lot of people think you're stuck with dehydrated food when bushcrafting/camping. The best food is stuff like this, just add water breads and muffins, prepackaged meat and dehydrated veggies can do a lot. My staple food is pancake batter and peanut butter, top notch camp food. Thanks Dave, great video as always!

what I'm loving about this is that you're actually portioning things well.. A lot of cooking vids I've studied have amounts to feed the Mongol army!

Rufus is such a well behaved doggie

Who are you? I was sure no one in this world treats their dog the way i do...but you do! Hmm happened upon this for recipe ideas...well bravo! Looks good!

Just had some chicken and dumplings for dinner last night. My absolute favorite comfort food of all time. man this video makes me want it again tonight lol. But I have to go healthier tonight. Grilled fish it is!

Thanks Dave. I am always searching the store shelves for foil packet meats, and grains and breads that are "just add water". A lot of companies are starting to come out with more of these recently. "Get home bags" are a great place to carry some of these foods as well (alcohol stove guys/gals).

Love this video and the book announcement! You made my day Dave. Thanks for this.

Cooking videos are some of my favorite videos, Dave! Really enjoy the series you have on Trees too.

Made this on a fishing trip into the backwoods last weekend. Best bush pot recipe I've ever tried. Thanks again for the great videos and amazing book series.

Two thumbs up, looks delicious. You can tell a lot about a man by the way he treats his dog. Keep them coming Dave.

Looks awesome! Thanks for all you do Dave

Great series Dave I love it!!! One of the best series yet!!! More, More, More!!! Soon as the rain stops I'm breaking out my Pathfinder nested bottle/cook set! Great product. Also thanks for the controllable alcohol stove lid that was a great addition. Tim

That is a happy dog when those dumplings are being made. Hes going " man I know I am gonna get some of the good stuff"!

As a cook and outdoor enthusiast, I LOVE this new series, and hope there are many more to come. Ill also definitely pick up that book.

Another great series. I look foward to buying and using your next book, when available. I already have your other two, this one will be a welcome addition. Excellent job. Sir.

ive been watching you for a long time dave and you never fail to amaze me,you are indeed gifted sir

I love camp cooking vids! As an Eagle Scout it just brings back some great memories!!

Dave, Thanks for doing what you do. Truly a blessing watching your videos. God bless you sir.

Rufus:Get out of the way Dave! Dave: its gotta cool down boy Rufus:its not on fire, so its cool enough for me.

greetings from MN. Thanks Dave, learning new things all the time.

David really enjoy your videos I'm a French and Indian War reenactor and long hunter I love the fact that you were teaching you skills so many of them have become a lost art

There is a reciepe called "cream of anything" you can use to add a thickish gravy to the soup. Its a dry mix and would work well.

i have been a chef for 20 years now....and i have heard you say you are no cook....but i would be happy to eat at your table anytime...i am really liking the new series ATB Boreal

I love everything about this video. Thanks Dave

That really looked good. I am enjoying this series. Thanks for the video

I love it. Good job! I also love the way you share your meal with Rufus Keep cranking out the videos

I tried your bush pot chicken and dumplings although in a large pot in the kitchen. Great recipe and I'll definitely consider this for the trail. Keep up the great work Dave. Ohio strong.

I don't quite know why I find these videos so enjoyable, but I do. Nice job Dave, keep 'em coming.

Looks good, poor Rufus looks like he's thinking " this guy is crazy - he sits in the woods by a fire talking to himself....But he cooks me good food so I like him ! "

Love Rufus. Cant wait for the book. Much respect.

Been watching your videos for a couple of years now and this is the most comfortable I have seen you. You always seem a little rushed to get your info out, I still enjoy. Except for some o your blacksmithing that is a little over my head even for an Aircraft Tech like me. Love the dog. Look forward to the cook book to teach my grandkids from.

Another good video. Rufus is a cool dog, so well behaved. keep these coming. Thanks

Love God Love your channel. Thank you brother for sharing your thoughts and knowledge. Allways enjoyable. Blessings.

im 31 and i love to camp fish and hunt year round days at a time ur cooking looks awsome i will try some of your resapes look

Thanks very much for posting Dave, really interesting segment, and enjoying the ideas you are sharing, as my campfire cooking leads a hell of a lot to be desired, and as I am probably the worst cook in the world, I appreciate that with a bit of imagination you can create a meal out of lightweight ingredients available from your local supermarket. Loads of inspiration, and I may now be eating more exciting things other than minute noodles. Thanks very much

Aww no dumplins for Iris. Great video Dave! I can't wait to buy your bushpot and try this out. I think I may need to pick up that cook setup as well, that is sweet!

Your dog know what a hush puppy is...your dog is a real southern gentleman...lol

been a long time since I had some good homemade chicken and dumplings. My mother, grandmother and great grand mother used to all gather around the table making old fashioned dumplings and noodles from scratch and we would have a big huge pot plus sides for the whole family. You never realize how much youre going to miss those kinds of days until they are long gone.

Dave that looks so good thanks and take care

Been watching your videos for about 3 years now Dave and that's the first time I've seen you mess up the ending! Haha great video as always!

That looks so good. Keep up the good work Dave.

I love chicken and dumplings! I got hungry watching this one for sure.... As always Dave, well done and I concur with your entire methodologies. I believe that I'll have to get your fire setup, it's to good to not have in use. Thanks for another fine video, I look forward to more in this series.

Great information as always from the father of bushcraft. Keep these amazing videos coming.

I really appreciate your perspective! It's really helped me develop a "real world" mindset on preparedness! God bless!

haha you crack me up Dave. that last bit at the end. great video wish I could join you

Best channel on the tube dave.... Been a fan for years....

Great video as always. Really liking the series, looking forward to the book.

Awesome video, I also carry Cherios dry cereal to crush and mix into soups and stews. Adds a little baked oats flavor, thickens the mix and add extra calories to the meal when I want my soup a bit more hearty.

Looked good Dave, Thanks for sharing.

Hello from Gustav. Thank you for making excellent videos of bushpot and meals. I have many enjoyment of your videos.

Looks great, greetings from Greece Dave!

loving this series, keep it up Dave!

Another awesome video, made me hungry just watching it.

Great video! Love the series

Oh my, you make me want to cook. Thanks for your videos.

Dave, you have no idea how much i wish that life you live... What i mean is,i have more than 23 years of experience in wilderness/outdoor ,self reliance/survival, whatever. But i live in a city and i only got time to go into the mountains in weekends :(( That's why i am glad, you are doing this almost every day.All the best. Respect brother.

Thanks for the heads up about the dehydrated veggies!!

Love common man cooking series good shit as always dave. Thanks

Damn Dave, you makin' me hungry! Great video. Look forward to the book.

What i find lovely to do when i visit a place is to research cookbooks. I particularly like chuckwagon cookbooks.

Great vid! Thank you so much for posting!

That looks really good, Dave and Rufus killed his plate. Looking forward to additional videos.

nice idea for a new series i can't wait to see more videos of this series

Great video, thank you Sir. And, I just love the way you treat RUFUS. It seems that maybe unintentionally, but you do create a "serving" for it. It can't write, but I know how; ... thank you Sir.

Great video, I really enjoyed the end of the video as well.

Cooking is my weak area, especially for more than one. looking forward to this series.

Dave the daily youtube chef :) Great series. It looks delicious! - Martin

Just like grandma made it, with a slight change to what it was cooked on. A 4×10 wood fire steam heated range, able to do a two turkeys and dessert in oven and the rest of the meal on the range. Thanks giving dinner for a fourty member family. The bread and the rest of the pies done the day before. Oven was a twenty loafer if you used the rack. Also had hot water for the dish washers.

Butter and flour in the beginning as part of the liquid base works well with the thickening aspect.

Looks great! Thanks again for the video, Dave. i find that one of the reasons I don't actually cook when I'm camping/backpacking is that I don't want to mess with cleaning all of the cookware. In this video, you touched on this topic. If you would cover your approach to camp cooking cleanup, etc. in a future video, I would be very appreciative. Hopefully you can give some tips that make me want to do fewer Mountain House meals. :-) Thank you.

You can premix the bread ingredients at home then freeze it. Depending on the weather and length of hike etc the frozen bread can defrost in your pack until it's ready to cook

I'm hungry...but at least the dog got fed...that was so nice of you to share your food like that. :)

I like these camp cookin videos. Rufus is a nice dog.

Dear Sir: I just discovered your videos, and they are wonderful! I am a 59 year old housewife, and I am ever mindful of food safety. May I suggest that you carry packets of FROZEN chicken pieces into the woods with you? This will give you at least another 12 hours of food safety. I buy fresh chicken tenders in 5 pound bags at my local meat market, and divide them- 4 big breast tenders into a baggie, and then I freeze them. (This is called "portion control"!) I can take out one or two baggies and drop them into a pot of cold water, where they thaw very quickly. (3-4 hours at room temp?) After 2 hours, they are still partially frozen, but can be broken apart and put back into the cold water to thaw even more quickly. Depending on how I cook it, I allow 2 to 4 large chicken tenders per person per meal. (But, I would probably require more protein if I were out in the woods!) I like your common sense approach to food prep and emergency nutrition. I do a lot of cooking in Dutch Ovens on my wood stove, so I understand and appreciate your basic precepts concerning food. And I intend to purchase some stainless steel dog bowls and big metal spring clips at the "Everything's A Dollar" store, and attempt some top-of-wood-stove baking (with a pre-heated Dutch Oven inverted over the top). Thank You for that idea! Carry On!

This is making me really hungry, that broth looked great by the time it was done. Also Rufus is a beautiful dog man!

Love the dog! 😊

I enjoyed this video and always enjoy seeing Rufus :)

Mr. Canterbury, when is your bushcraft cooking book coming out?

I love these cooking videos

I love these videos I stay at a camp sight or a hotel to save money working in the oil field and they make a difference for sure make a good meal easy with what ya got.
