Yes, always had several several bottles of alcohol in the rig... f/ dishes, utensils, washer fluid additive, air line antifreeze, sanitary jugs , etc... very versatile 👌 THANKS , Alan 🇨🇱
I like that you took the time to acknowledge the fella that gave you the idea for the video & that you’re sending him a little care package. That’s real decent of you. Cheers. …and now i know what I’m having for dinner tomorrow.
My grandfather taught me to use sand, he travelled a lot and said he used to use nothing but hot sand to scrub and clean out pot and pans and plates. He even said he would cook sand in a cast iron dutch oven to clean out the other pots he had then use the rest to scrub out the dutch oven. He showed me how to do it in the backyard with the sandbox when I was little. I was excited, my mom was NOT pleased.
Now, that is a man enjoying his camp cooking and it looks great Dave. Really good stuff on responding to the clean up question, I've often wondered about good solutions.
Came across an old video with Dave in Dual Survival where his snare trap got a pig then he crafted a 2-person raft out of bamboo. JUST ALL AROUND BADASS EPISODE.
I look up to Dave, grew up watching him. Miss the days I would be home sick from school to rewatch episodes of him on discovery channel. Now I’m 24 at work watching him on RU-vid!
The Chili Mac is a great 3-item recipe. It was helpful to remember that high-quality canned pure meat products are readily found in the marketplace these days.
You can't go wrong with chili mac. That looked dang good. I have never seen or heard of canned ground beef. I will have to start looking. Thanks for sharing your skills and knowledge.
I remember in Boy Scouts having a pot of boiling water to dip the utensils, plate, etc into to prevent illness from bacteria as the last step in cleanup.
Thank you for the meal idea! I was wondering what to cook for tomorrow night's dinner, lol! (Also, quick note for everyone, lye from ashes is alkaline, not acidic. It's easy to get that confused since both acids and bases / alkalines will burn your skin if they're strong enough, and lye can get pretty strong! I remember it because in chemistry class, we discussed how alkaline substances react with lipids in fats to create saponin. We tried making soap using acids and fats, but that didn't work; it had to be alkaline and within a specific category, chemically. (It's been decades, so don't ask me the details, lol.) It turns out that when you use ashes and hot water inside a greasy pan, a tiny amount of raw soap will form from the water leaching lye out of the ashes, and then mixing with the fats! This is how lye helps get your dishes that much cleaner, though it's nowhere as effective as actual soap.)
When i dont have any thing to clean my cooking atuff i use boiling water and ash. Then i use moss as a scrubber and to get the rest of the ash off. This was a good video most people dont cover this in their videos.
I'm sorry to hear, but I'm also glad you get to enjoy something new! You can do chilli Mac with so many different options. My favorite is to add Frito/corn chips to the chilli Mac with lots of jalapenos.
Can you imagine if Dave had gotten some Velveeta or Kraft real cheese? When I make this over 🔥, that’s definitely what I’ll do. That Mexican cheese would be the 💣 as well.
That's awesome Dave I haven't made chili mac for a long time and I just made it a week ago for the kids so they could try they loved it one of my favorites from when I was a kid, also you should try useing the Velveeta Shells and cheese one time it's really good with that creamy cheese like that
I like to carry a lightweight empty water bottle with a couple different holei caps to spray things down with. Deglaze my pans and give them a quick squirt.
I’ve made chili Mac with a cup of macaroni boiled , drained ,, then dump a can of your favorite canned chili in and heat till hot ,, I like the normal angus chili with beans best ,, add a splash of hot sauce and done ,,
The one piece of outdoor gear i've had for over 20 years and goes in my ruck every trip. A simple beer towel, had the same one for 2 decades and it's still going strong. I use it for cleaning and loads of over stuff 👍
Today 2/8/24 @ 12:36pm, I fixed this Dave and the only thing I did different was used the deluxe Mac and cheese instead of the powder cheese. #Homerunsir Definitely will be fixing this in the colder months ahead. I think you live in or near the Carolinas. I’m outdoors, just not in the woods but in the park using the park grill with wood in picked up around the area.
That's the way to attack that pan of chillimac Dave , just scarf it down ! It looked awesome man , can't wait to try it. Great job on the clean up too.
I was just thinking a couple days ago that I miss the cooking series you were doing in the camp kitchen. That was so informative. You gave me so many ideas and things I never thought of. I hope you do it again. Btw, how's the kitty?
You have a great channel that I enjoy. Down here in the south Louisiana when we camping we don't eat those kinds of food usually it's squirrels. Deer meat wood ducks rabbit an pot of rice Not all together but individually. Maybe Mac n cheese on the side. Or purple hull peas you know what I mean Like I said I reallky enjoy the vidios. You did say a hunting camp rite. Would love to have a friend like you to joint us
I think a lot of people underestimate the capabilities of a well maintained immune system. In my day-to-day life, I rarely wash my dishes with soap, because if you do them immediately after eating, a sponge and water is enough. Plus, anything that might be on them doesn't have time to grow in the time between meals, at which point the heat will nuke anything on the surfaces. Plus, any germs that do survive are ones from myself, and my body already has antibodies for them. The only time I do deep cleans with soap is usually once a month, or if I have guests, whichever comes first. I haven't been sick in over 15 years, minus whatever bug hit me for about 3 days in early 2020 (could have been the coof, for all I know). The really important thing is to wash your hands regularly. I also advise people don't hyper-sterilize their living space; first of all, it ain't natural, and you have some sort of OCD or something needing to be addressed. Second, if you never let your body encounter common bacteria/germs, you will get sick more easily and hit harder as your body has to take time to build up the anti-bodies it should have already had ready to go. I've noticed when I go camping with friends/family, the ones who live hyper-sterile usually get sick. Something to think about.
Just a quick question is this a meal that a student would be aloowed to make after class. Say for the basic, advanced, or intermediate classes. Great video. 😊
Hello from Oklahoma! U forgot an option. Where's your dog? All kidding aside, for deer camp, there's 10 of us, We always have scrub pads soap and a tub to wash dishes in. I've done your way many times camping by myself. Ashes work best for me.
