Watching while being snowed in on the ridge. Gotcha on the big screen and Mrs. O. is telling me how good it looks and how she can smell it from here. Mighty fine looking pot of squirrel and dumplings Chris! Love the hand forged tools. Especially the horse shoe pot hanger. Excellent video Chris!
Thanks Karl! I know Mrs. O likes some Squirrel Pot Pie!!! 🤣 I think your video put me in the mood for a good ol’ squirrel dinner! I hope the weather gets better... but I guess it may be working in your favor considering the truck issues. Thanks for putting me on the big screen!!!! 😄
Absolutely Awesome Video . Thanks for sharing. That was a huge oak tree you got that bushy tail from. That haversack with knife sheath was cool also. 😀👍👍👍
Thanks Rodney! Some folks think that’s one of the oldest oaks around here. It’s really big. One day I should measure how big around it is. I bet I’ve gotten 50 squirrels out of it since I’ve been hunting down there. That haversack is from Colorado Bushcraft. It’s reasonably priced and tough as nails.
That made me hungry, and I had just got finished eating! It did however look more like squirrel pot pie that dumplin's. I've gotta try that recipe with the next squirrel I get.
Well, that was a mighty fine looking meal. At one point you were concerned if your dumplings were going to look pretty. Food does not have to be pretty, it just has to be good. 😉The dumplings did turn out great though. I make my biscuits in a baggie and just cut the corner of the bag and it usually works our well for me. I'm going to have to get down there again and get a feed of squirrel. It looked delicious. I like the longer videos. I will have one out this weekend. It will be about 15 minutes long. I'm finishing up the edit this week........Take care, Mike.
Thanks Mike.... I’m still confused about doing longer videos. Seems people only watch a couple minutes of any video... even if it’s only a minute or two. Luckily for me, it doesn’t matter! Ha! I do what I want to do 🤣 Y’all know me, I’m just having fun! Cheers Mike!!! (And yes, you do need to come back down for some more catfish and grits, biscuits and gravy and boiled peanuts ..... and squirrel)
I used to do longer videos when I first started and then I got used to more editing. Seems like these days the shorts are what everyone wants but I prefer longer videos if they are entertaining. Who knows what is right for RU-vid?@@CarolinaChrisOutdoors
Good to see that stump still "producing" for you after all these years. Never had squirrel but the stew looked delicious. "I'll be needing that rifle for squirrels and such" came to mind when you sat down to hunt.🤝🏻
Hi RL. Don't know what you are missing. My mom must have cooked hundreds of squirrels over the years. My dad's favorite was squirrel head dumplings. Now you do have to remember that we grew up in South Arkansas. 😂
The sautéing of the boiled meat in butter before adding to the pot was something I saw on some state’s DNR website... might’ve been Georgia but Arkansas might’ve been it... whatever, it really makes a difference. Works for regular ol’ “yard birds” too. Thanks for watching!!!
That pot of squirrel and dumplings looked amazing!!! Made my mouth water!!! My granny used to make the best squirrel and homemade dumplings!! Brings back fond memories from my childhood. Now I'm thinking I'm going to get a squirrel and try your recipe.
I appreciate that a lot. Thank you! You’re right about the squirrel… I think less and less people know how good they are. People just prefer going to Arby’s or McDonalds these days I reckon. 🤣
Man, if I gave you a bite you’d want a whole plate! 😂😂😂 I know it sounds “cliche” but dang, it’s true..... squirrel tastes like dark meat chicken... some people in my family have eaten it, and liked it, and thought it was chicken..... it sure is a lot cheaper! 😂👍🏻
Hey Chris , that was a very tasty looking meal . It has been years since I had squirrel dumplings . That one knife with the sheath with your C C and lantern on it was AWESOME . Great video !!!! 👍🏻🇺🇸
Brother Chris, excellent video. That meal you threw together looked AMAZING! I appreciate your time and effort of putting all this together buddy. Big thumbs up ~John
Thanks John! Of course, you know it’s no easy task to record, edit and upload a video on RU-vid using an old broken screen iPhone. I really do it to read comments like yours. Thank you for your support over the years. 👍🏻
Good to see you with a new video Chris. I also ran across Karl Camp Kitchen n he mentioned you n said he really liked you. I thought what a small world even on RU-vid lol take care n keep them coming!
man i got all excited when i saw dutch oven . lol . i was thinking i was going to see that new dutch oven you messed up and told me about brother . lol . but hey it was a great video it had it all . great to see ya buddy . hope you had a great holiday season .
Hey Dark… I really was thinking about you. 20 minute dutch oven cooking “talkie”….. 😂🤣😂. Hey, I think I can put a link here so you can see that new Dutch Oven in action… I’ll try…. Chicken Bog- South Carolina Style ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-0XCMlRK06y8.html Let me know if it worked, ok?
Hi Chris! I'm sitting here eating rice with butter and sugar. Crab meat with cheese sauce, and I that I had it going on. But you sure put me to shame. My mom seemed to always be cooking squirrels or rabbits when I was growing up. That stump never runs out. That looks delicious 😋. Even with Texas Pete. Well, I better get back to my rice. Take care, buddy.
Rice with sugar? 🤣😂😀 Dang! I never tried that. I saw your comment to RL.... I never ate squirrel heads either.... my buddies fried up the brains, but I just never tried it
That looks awesome, Chris. Thank you for the terrific Cast Iron Wednesday recipe. Added to the play lists. Dumpling decisions can be difficult. Thank you for sharing your squirrel with us. Stay safe and stay warm
Thanks Sean… sorry it wasn’t chili. The dumpling/biscuit dilemma was definitely increased with limited ingredients… and in the woods. Thankfully it all worked out and truly was delicious! I feel like I’m in Canada tonight…. It’s going to be 15 (F) degrees here… I don’t know the Celsius conversion but I know it’s COLD! 😂
Great video, my friend. I had to come over and see what all the hub bub was about. Everyone was talking about your gourmet meal in the woods. I'm glad I didn't miss this one. Oh man, that looked mighty tasty indeed. Thanks for sharing, and God bless
Dang that looked good well worth the time Buddy and I just got 2 yesterday for a benefit hunt rabbit Squirrel I ended up pulling them both out of the tree first one alive lol. You got some great iron tools there like that horseshoe hook for the Dutch oven. Cheers have a great week
Man that looks like some good stuff sure nuff. Squirrels and dumplings, country cooking at its best. Videos like this can make you hungry. Thanks for the video Chris.😊 thanks for the shout out on the spoon.
Lovin the longer video, and hey sometimes you gotta squirt it out the bottom, haha …..thanks for the shout out! Food looked amazing, cheers brother 🤙🏼🍺
Ah, lovely Chris. I gotta say I pick up road kill Squirrel - with a blunt knife it's a bugger. I trust you had a good one there. The meal turned out super nice - I could taste it from here. Good going. All the best. Mark
Great video story, and glad to see you are well and rocking it :), I could feed an army with all the squirrels here that visit my winter bird feeding station at times, but maybe the birdseed alters the taste over natural feed, I never tried one before, but word is they are tasty.
,,hello my friend,, this has got to be one of the best Camp Cooking videos i`v ever seen,,, Definitely History Channel Material & i mean that,,,, thanks for sharing & taking us along,,,
Sure, I got your number. You shot into the grown, pulled the chicken of the trees out of your bag, then cooked it. lol. As for the Dutch over, I had a few Dutch women and I checked their overs a few times a week. lol Dinner looks good.
I saw a windmill before, and have 5 or 6 dutch ovens, and even planted a few tulip bulbs in the past, but never experienced the “Dutch” stuff you did.... some guys have all the luck 🤣👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Luck? I itched for weeks, you know what they say, go to bed with dogs, wake up with fleas. LOL. Looks like you have some good weather? We are in the teens with winds.
@@buzzsah - fleas can be exterminated. Memories last forever (until full blown dementia kicks in of course 😂) gonna be 15 here tonight.... I hope the spigots outside don’t freeze up🥶🥶🥶
Just saw your comments on Wooden Iron Cookie and decided to check out your channel and a out a minute into the video I knew this is a channel that I will enjoy so new subscriber here. I haven't eaten squirrel yet, I like all wild game so I'm assuming Id like it. Just never looked at them as being food , i have no idea why not lol.... I bought a Dutch oven about a year ago and haven't used it yet gotta change that soon too. That looked delicious
Well I sure appreciate the nice comments... I certainly understand why some people haven’t tried squirrels... but, I don’t understand NOT trying out your dutch oven yet!!! Man, you don’t know what you’re missing!!!!! You need to get that done soon!!!!! You can use it in your kitchen oven to make some good stuff if your outdoor weather isn’t cooperating. 👍🏻
@CarolinaChrisOutdoors hhhmmm. Maybe wrong Eddie. "Mine" is from fla. Orlando. Been near 40 years since I saw him..YEAH IM OLD!!! LOL. He used to own a kite and balloon shop. THANKS FOR THE INFO SIR
