Yeah, a lot of guys can do this, but finding a woman who can, well she's a keeper even if she only has 1 leg, 1 eye, and a speech impediment. Quality is in what you can do. You never hit the wall in a mans eyes if you can make Spruce tip tea, and cook on a rock.
Really? a couple thousand people thumbed down this video? They arent doing anything in this video they are only cooking on a rock. We can learn from these videos, these people are teaching us necessary tips.
as a strictly educational video it is not bad. But as a "survival" video it has one MAJOR flaw and something that should NEVER be done. NEVER, EVER, EVER cook in camp. Food prep and cooking should be done at least 100 yards from the camp when in bear/cougar country. Which is most of the wilds in North America. This is showing VERY bad habits that should be avoided. Cooking in camp can and has lead to many camping deaths. So as an educational video its fine but it should be noted very clearly that this should never be done anywhere near sleeping areas.
Many deaths? From the statistics it wasn't from big cats. There are only about 4 cat attacks a year with 1, on average, being deadly in the US and Canada. Only about 30% of the US even has bears. In most of the US your biggest threat is going to be raccoons. Take precautions if you are in an area with predators, but the "never ever ever" crap is over the top.
We went to Greece a long time ago and unfortunately almost no one spoke English. We went to a restaurant and pointed to something on the menu we couldn’t read. They ended bringing a super heated rectangle shaped stone ( I thought looked like marble) and brought out either lamb or chicken. We were like what the heck do we do lol. The waiter put a piece of the raw meat on the stone and we felt super dumb. In the the end it was super good food and a memorable experience ! I would go to that place again in a heartbeat. Anyway this video made me think of that.
Just watched this video for the first time. I am so glad you said your meal was "very good." I so often hear young people today say that some meal they had was "amazing." The beautiful creation all around you is amazing, your wife is amazing, but a meal is "very good" Thanks for all your fine videos. When I am stuck here for long periods of time, your material is very refreshing.
Looks delicious outdoors lovers! A different way to do it besides wrapping around a stick and roast till golden brown over hot 🥵 coals. Thanks for sharing!!👍🏽👍🏽
My brother Lonnie. I have been watching you for a little while now and I've come to the conclusion you are a good man. I have also come to the conclusion that you have a very wonderful wife. I'm glad that you have a wonderful wife you deserve it bro she deserves it. y'all two are so perfect together. I enjoy watching y'all and this was such a delightful video and helpful also. keep up the good work bro and thank you so very very much again I'm happy for you happy for both of you ,y'all keep rolling on soak it all in enjoy it and give glory to the one up above always as you do. Peace out keep looking up+
Thank you Lonnie, you deserve a lot more likes and views on all your videos for taking the time out of your life to teach us. It's a great privilege to have you.
Guess you don’t need super expensive cooking gear at all. In a pinch/survival situation, good to know I could cook meat, etc. ON A ROCK! Good info. Love your channel.
Thank you for this amazing teaching video! I found it very interesting to watch, very innovative ways to cook if you happen to be out, away from the limelight.. peaceful, quiet, doing all the stuff you'd normally do at home, but in a very natural, raw setting. Free from all life's luxuries and all the gadgets that make chores easy breezy....here's to the folks that made this video, in such a wild, natural setting, without all those fangdangled things. Awesomeness for sure!! 😋
This has got to be your best video since Lonnie erected the canvas tent wearing his buckskins! Love the idea of the stone griddle, the drip cup from the bacon, AND the idea of being able to STUFF bannock! Excellent idea! Never mind just mixing good things into the bread, stuff the bread! Ten stars!
You guys are great and you’ve got a great looking, intelligent, well educated wife, so thanks for putting this out and tell your wife she needs to keep doing what she’s doing bc you guys both know how to work as a team and this is what the world needs 👍🏻
I love your videos, Lonnie and Connie! It is such a joy to see the two of you enjoying the beauty of creation up in the far north, together! I hope you are blessed with many more years of love and happiness together. And, thank you for sharing your talents with us!!
I'm binge watching all of Connie and Lonnie's cooking playlist! Who's with me? 😃 It's all about that look on Lonnies face of pure joy with every meal 😆 You KNOW it's good.
Hi Lonnie and Connie! Greetings from Colorado! Been watching for a long time but just subscribed today! Dinner cooked on a rock. Yum! Doesn't get any better than that! AMEN!!!
Lonnie you are living the way I could only DREAM of doing. To top it off you have a woman who shares it. Fantastic videos. Please keep making such inforrnative and enjoyable videos . You and your wife are natural teachers.
I agree. his voice is so relaxing and his energy is so gentle. about year n half ago while I worked 12-16 hours a day for about a month .. if I couldn't fall asleep right away I played one of his videos and I'd be knocked out within minutes.
I used to make Bannock bread when I was a cadet commander in the Civil Air Patrol, auxiliary USAF. Every outing, I'd carry the mix in a paper bag. Loved it, kept me going until we got home,
this is a video of peace, i really like to see how your wife preapre the meal so calmly and explain everything very well, his face and your face when taste the food is marvelous, i really appreciate your videos, keep sharing your experiences in the wild, greetings from venezuela
I've learned a lot through the years from the military but by watching your videos I've learned more,Iam hoping to teach my kids and grandkids when I get older lol
You both make an excellent team. I hope we can have many many more years of you two making these videos! I was stationed in fort greely, alaska back in the 90s.
The finer things in life arent made in 4 star restaurants but made in the outdoors on a fire and rock ! great channel never seen it before i love this kinda stuff ;) you guys got a new sub !
Y’all are bad ass!! I really appreciate the ones that I’ve seen so far. With all the modern conveniences that we have we sometimes forget, or some of us don’t even know the basics. Way to go Lonnie and Connie
i absolutely adore these two and the vidz are done perfectly. Bob Ross, Mr. Rogers and this couple including others of course are literally relaxing and educating in a entertaining way. Love to watch all of these.
Lonnie and Connie, deliciousness is always around you guys. Lonnie, I accept that bite you offered in the end of the video. Send it away. Congrats. Another relaxing and delicious video. Thanks for sharing.
I didn't put a thumbs down because I love Lonny and Connie but I won't put a like either because of the plastic wet wipes and non recyclable bacon packaging.
Hello Lonnie and Connie. So glad to have found your channel. You all are awesome. Primitive cooking with gourmet ingredients. Sure does look toolecious! Be well.
Longer and Connecticut, so nice to see the two of you together. Nice idea to use the rock to cook on. Spruce tea sounds good too. Onions I eat every day. Everything looks so mummy. Keep up the good work. Love watching
I didn't know about using rocks like that to cook food with. I just recently purchased two dutch ovens to use for that. Connie did a great job cooking up the meal and I know you all enjoyed it so much. Your camp is looking great and you all have a place to camp out at when the weather permits.
Have you ever thought about Marble Slab. A lot of times people have those that they put in the oven to bake a pizza on. A lot of times people that do marble countertops granite countertops. When they cut the hole out for the kitchen sink they have a piece of slab left over and they just throw it away. And it's possible to get a masonry blade for your skill saw and cut the slab the right size to put it in your oven. Then take Emery cloth and sand the edges down smooth. and then perhaps put the slab in the dishwasher and wash it real good. Then it should be good to go.
This is not anything to do with survival, You cant just bring along a beautiful woman that cooks like a chef and then convince me your just surviving. You spoiled old man.... lol Love the tips.... thanks
This will be great when the government takes everything from you, ( as some people think it's going to happen ) they can't take your rocks n logs . I love it, these people are ready for anything. My kind of people, n great way to survive. Thanks
The Lord said let there be light and then Pacific Gas and Electric Company came out and turned off the electricity. But all joking aside I went shopping downtown with my 89 year old veteran friend I live with I'm his caretaker I do the cooking and dishwashing and all that stuff. well anyway. We came back from shopping and we discovered we didn't have any electricity. Apparently a squirrel climbed up the power pole. And shorted something out and knocked our power out. By the time that squirrel hit the ground it must have been cooked already. It was laying on the ground below the power pole. When we got home. The ironic thing is my 89 year old veteran friend. Is a retired PG&E supervisor. That made for an interesting conversation when PG&E came out to turn our power back on. Sometimes I'll be cruising around in the car with my friend and he will point out power poles that he had installed over the years. He started out on the bottom floor he was a lineman he climb them polls. He has two bad knees to prove it. the spikes that they strap on their legs and they put their foot up and slam it into the poll to set the spike in poll needless to say that destroyed his knees. Oh those were the days when we were 17 year old kids.
It sounds like u have a very loving friendship. I do homehealth and had the same client/ that dont even sound right! I had a very good friend that would tell me of all her adventures. And there were plenty. People R put in our lives I believe to give us wisdom. I miss her. I promised her Id stay with her til she took her last breath- she would not be alone. And I did. But Ill never promise like that again. It took a toll on me and time I cannot get back. But I ended up being POA so I had added responsibilities.
Great video! I love watching it. The food look great. I wanted to eat it too. I want some of that bannock on the rocks. They look very yummy. Nothing beats a home cooked meal, so yummy, comforting, fulfilling, & very satisfying to the belly & to the ❤️ heart.
Hi Lonnie, this was totally worth the wait! And Connie, Lonnie said it all, it doesn't get much better than this:) This is a wonderful video and can't wait to try your stuffed bannock this weekend, all the best to you both. I'm watching this many times over to learn your technique to a "t".
We have a fire ban on right now so made the stuffed bannock on the gas stove in the cast iron fry pan, not very primitive.... But we very much enjoyed your stuffed bannock, it is yummy! Now your recipe waits to be tested on "the rock" when the ban is off and we have found that special rock to enjoy cooking primitive style. Thank you once again!
You are very welcome my friend. Glad you enjoyed the stuffed bannock. The "stuffing" choices are of course open to ones imagination and the taste bud. Some dessert stuffed bannocks would be wonderful as well.
I can see dessert stuffed bannock as a breakfast meal already:) Thank you Lonnie, and hope you and Connie are enjoying your new float-craft. Looks roomy and stable to haul what your need in July, I'm still jealous, lol. All the best!
Unfortunately we do not have the boat yet and may not get it. The manufacturer has been much less than truthful with us and i don't know when he will have the boat done.......if ever. We may eventually have to cancel our order and get something else.
Very sorry to hear the boat order isn't working out, it looks like such a great boat to use for river transport. Sure hope the manufacturer comes around and you can get what you need. I don't know how businesses can operate without following through with what they promise, but there seems to be more and more of that happening unfortunately. In the meantime I hope you can find a boat for your trip and that plans are coming together for you. We went to the dam today and found a flat stone that I hope isn't sandstone. There is slat here, just have find a piece and also check if it's good around fires. Next weekend hope to build a fire and try primitive cooking the bacon and stuffed bannock:) Have a great week!
Great video L & C , I have a small alloy grill plate I use on open fires . It`s very handy , as it fits over two electric elements on the stove , or as I generally use it outdoors , it`s covered in Teflon to make it easy to clean , one side has diagonal grooves and the other side is plain flat . Been using it for over ten years now , cheers from NZ , newly subbed .
