Dave, great video once again. I'm glad to see a man stand by his faith in the public eye. May you and your family continue to be blessed for all the good and knowledge you bring to the world.
always an inspiration i lived in a hut on the Olympic peninsula for six months before it was a life changing experience it brought me closer to god and taught me how to enjoy the simple things in life thank you very much and god bless you in all you endeavors
Hey Dave, I just got into bush craft this summer and found your channel, im loving all the wisdom you are just pouring out for free!. im putting together a pack based around the ten C's and going to start getting some dirt time. this journal of the yurt series is sweet! i check your channel twice a day for new episodes! and every time i watch you i respect you more and more! im in S.E. Idaho, but im going to find a way to come to your classes. God bless and please don't stop being you!
Proud of you that you prayed. I wish more public figures would stand up for their faith as well. Looks like a great meal! Thanks for sharing your yurt experience with all of us.
Dave lots of respect brother. After the prayer even more!!! Spent several years down your way around Chillicothe and Circleville. Love the area. Thanks again for all the knowledge.
You're awesome. You spoke the Name above all names.....God bless you Dave and thank you for sharing your gifts, thoughts, and prayers. Your boldness and strength will lead many to the truth. Thats really cool, thanks again!!
Wow, honestly I am excited and thankful for all the work you are doing to make so many of us better people from the important survival lessons to the moral lessons you exhibit, unlike the folks in Hollywood. This style of love of Country is what the USA is all about. Thanks again Dave. That squirrel gravy looked excellent.
Hi Dave: Grace just about brought a tear to my eye. As stated so many times...great stuff! You are blessed as are we for the opportunity to tune in. Thanks.
Brother, I would board a plane just to share in the pleasure of eating one of those meals in that Yurt! I am just loving this series. I know what a great time you must be having focusing on the basic human needs and enjoying life's simple pleasures. God Bless!
Dave, I like the yurt series, as well as the 21st centurt long hunter series. As one Christian to another, I would like to thank you for the example you set for us all. I am sure you are impacting many folks who thought Christ ain't cool. Learning allot from you.
Hey Dave, I planted some blight resistant potatoes this year. Every plant grew superbly and yielded many potatoes. They really are an excellent survival food. Us Irish survived on them for generations and they still are part of our main diet. It's where we get most our vitamin C. Just imagine how blight resistant potatoes would have saved so many lives in the past. God bless, brother in Christ, SAM
As usual my buckeye brother in Christ, great video! I am really enjoying this entire series as I do all of your videos. Nice of you to share your blessing with us all. I pray you and your family have a Blessed and Merry Christmas, and a wonderful New Year. Thank You!
Thank you for actually PRAYING before you ate. That was no, 'saying grace.' That was a humble man's prayer. Dave, you're awesome. Thank you for everything you do.
Dave, you're an inspiration to us all. And if you're not, you should be. It's all too rare that we see those who are truly pursuing what they love, and even more rare we see somebody whose not afraid to admit and proclaim their love and faith in the Savior and Creator. Don't worry bout all the flack you're gonna catch for it either, your rewards will be great, and it seems your current rewards ain't so bad either. Keep it up and have a Merry CHRISTmas, GOD bless ya brother.
I'm really enjoying this series, man. Could watch these all day if you posted that many! Huge respect for the videos, the lessons, the time you put into it, all that. And from an atheist to a Christian, if all Christians were like you, brother, well there ain't nothin' wrong with that. Love everything you do, and look forward to more. Again, tons of respect and stay safe, stay warm and keep doing what you do.
@Vinorep I also have had chef experience and I am also from the south (very familiar with a roux). When cutting out some fat from roux, you can toast the flour slowly in a sauce pan to use as a "dry roux" as well. A dry roux can also be stored as a thickening agent and can be also mixed with gratauxn (which is the chard spice from the bottom of the pan when pan frying meats). Keep it up Dave! You are an inspiration to the common man!
Dave, the yurt series has to be some of my favorite videos you've done to date. I never cared much for cooking shows, but your videos are a great twist on that concept. Who knew that real down home cooking could be so informative and entertaining! Keep up the great work brother!
beautiful grace brother, awesome series, absolutely the most educational series on RU-vid, Dave, thank you. you've taught me a lot and i have always enjoyed watching your videos, ive been watching your videos shortly after you started here on youtube. if there is any man i would follow into any woods, sir it would be you. thank you again for your videos. you have inspired me to connect with my outdoorsy side. i cant thank you enough brother.
Dave this is a great series, i cant wait for more! Also, thank you for openly showing your belief in Jesus Christ I wish more would out there. Merry Christmas
Amazing meal Dave, I would have never thought to make something like that with squirl. I'm loving the prayers as well, to often praying is shunned. Keep up the great work!
Looks mighty good sir. I've been meaning to use more of the wild onions we have where I live. Also, a very heartfelt and touching prayer. Thanks for sharing.
Just a meal alternative. When you drained the potatoes and added the meat, you can melt a little of your lard in the frying pan and brown the mix on both sides. Nothing beats hot squirrel hash on a cold morning! Thanks for sharing your knowledge and faith in our Lord. Brothers in Christ
Thank you Dave for your fine example of how our Lord wishes us to reveal Him to others. If we deny Him in public, He will deny us to His Father! And thank you to USDAChuckSteak for your respect of Dave's beliefs and those of us who know our Creator! May the Lord bless and reveal Himself to you. Jeff
Hey Dave enjoying your videos here. I love watching your work. I particularly wanted to share with you that I think it's fantastic that you aren't afraid to share your Faith on video like this and that you aren't afraid to share the name of Jesus with your viewers. That means a lot to other Believers. Thanks.
Always wondered if those wild onions in my yard were edible kinda figured they were but now I know thanks dave :) love the channel been watching for a long time loved your show and thanks for bring back alot of the common sense that is being forgotten thanks to the instant gratification society we live in these days. I only wish i had the area do what you do and teach the way you do who knows one day maybe. Thanks again for everything you do.
Dave, I have to say this series has been some of the best videos I have seen in a while. Not to say I don't like your other stuff, but I really feel like you have found a niche that is needed! Today on our podcast we were talking about this series, and I hope you don't take this the wrong way, but I would like to see this as a series more than Dual Survival. I'm really enjoying this series Brother, makes me remember why I got on RU-vid to begin with! Be Safe, - Adam
Potatoes - I tried an experiment this past summer and planted potatoes in the wild fields. I buried them and left them. I did not even hill them or water them. I then checked them in November as I was very busy. The ground was semi frozen, but the potatoes were fine. So, you do not need buckets to grow potatoes anywhere.
That's pretty impressive. I have never even heard of squirrel potato and onion gravy stew, but it does sound good cooked over a wood stove like that. Now all you need are a few biscuits to go with it.
Right now I'm taking a brake from making base camp for me and my friends to camp in over x-mas brake and wanted to watch a vid on your yurt Dave as I drank my hot chocolate. Good vid and thanks for all that you teach us The bogart,
@wildernessoutfitters I have wild onions and garlic planted all over my property here in the Ozark mountains.They do a great job of repelling chiggers and no-see-ums so I can walk around barefoot in summer.In a long term situation you could plant them around the yurt and I'd bet it would minimize any ground dwelling insect problem.Plus you could harvest them for cooking. I've been here 7 years and they always make it through winter....snow and all.
Nice Dave real nice, if you had curst you could make a squirrel pie! I grew up on squirrel but haven't had it for 30 or so more years, looks good! God has truly blessed you these days! Pease from a sister in Ohio! Thank you for teaching so much, I never miss a show or a vid of yours! Bless you and Iris and all the kids too...Merry Christmas! I hope you cook a pheasent soon I miss them the most and grouse too...mummmmmmmmmm
looks good! You are living the life my friend, I wish I could be doing this as well. I get out for small getaways but Id love to do a month....or even a lifetime! Keep up the great videos and I like the prayer before you eat, more people should do the same.
You have made a very nice dinner. On some other occasion, you might want to consider cutting the squirrel into small pieces and stir frying it with some wild onions in lard. Stir frying only takes a small hot fire. It is a style of cooking that opens up a lot of possibilities.
Great Video Dave. Thanks for keeping the faith brother! Have you ever made Mountain Pie? You buy a mountain pie maker (two pans hinged in the rear with two long handles atached to the top and bottom pan in front), bread, and any kind of pie filling you want. Grease the pans top & botton, lay in a slice of bread, pour in some filling (blueberry is great) put another slice of bread on top, close the lid and stick it in the fire for a few minutes. The pan seals the bread all around. Enjoy!
And may God prosper you (and yours) that you may (all) continue to share and learn with this community. My eyes are not as good as they once were and my Bible weighs a ton. Have been trying to work a Kindle and a (Goal Zero Guide 10 Kit) Solar Charger into my extended kit. The kindle uses e-ink (no color and not back-lit) and one charge lasts for a week, or more. It does not require wireless coverage because you can download TONS of standard PDF files, from a PC. Bible, Maps, Manuals, Novels
Haha! I've got the exact same cook set that I've had forever.. I think mine's a bit older and doesn't have the logos on it. Great idea to steam the squirrel. Looks delicious!
Super video and Loved the Prayer! As said before if you don't like the prayer find someone else to learn from. Last time I checked we were livivng in the USA. We put up with the people that don't want to be Christian way to much. they want us to let them belive the way they to want but don't want to alow us to belive the way we want....
a good practice when foraging i personly use is every group of items picked (like the group of onions is take all except one and re-plant, may not seem like much but maybe next year might make life a bit easier for yourself or someone else
In the interior where I camp, we have the Nodding Sweet Onion. Beautiful little blue flowers and nice little bulbs. I can only find it when in flower though, it's VERY similar to the local sparse grasses otherwise and I lack the experience to identify it without the flowers.
Cody would be so proud of you for adding the onion and potatoes to you stew/squirrel gravy. :D Looks like good eats. And thanks for saying Grace aloud.
Dave, Just thought I would let you in on a little tip about growing potatoes. You can actually pile up leaves and grow the potatoes in the pile. When you are ready for one or a few just lift up the leaves.
this series is great and i wish people would stay on topic on this thing and leave the bashing of religion off of this channel. again dave great series brother
so , flour, salt, potatoes, and a meat source and you can live the high life, sweet. great videos dave, i have learned alot from you. keep up the good work.
I saw Harvey in one of your trap vids. You had it tucked down into one of your packs, opened that pack wide for everything you needed. Harvey is a winner!
Another good video Dave. Seeing the potatoes brought up a question ... do your and your family have a vegetable garden on the property? Also, is small scale farming something you would do in a nomadic situation? Thanks
