  • Survival cooking involves everything a survivor must do once game is procured through trapping, scavenging, or killing. Process and clean the meat so as to make use of all available parts of the kill. The cooking of any food should be done safely and completely to prevent disease or sickness from tainted or undercooked meat as well as to honor the kill by using all of the animal possible. Psychological disgust should be set aside and food consumed even if it is unpleasant. Three methods for cooking to get the most nutrients possible are boiling, roasting, and smoking. Boil all organs and leftovers to include bones multiple times for the most nutrients. Roast whole sections of the kill for a meal and use the bones in another boil. Smoke long thin sections of meat for preservation and trail food. All three demonstrated here with a real kill from the land. Enjoy!

    Thank you for sharing this. I sure hope that none of those people who find processing of hunted animals offensive sees this and report it to CZcams. It would be a shame if they report this video. We need this kind of video these days. Not everyone had the opportunity to grow in rural areas and know this growing up. What you are showing here is a life skill and everyone should know this.

      Yeah, I agree. I thought about it and decided to roll with it anyway. Everything was humanely done so hopefully people see that.

      Agreed. Knowledge and skills require more than telepathic communication; particularly those which smaller and smaller segments of ALL western societies are even vaguely familiar with. When AOC reportedly said that farming and hunting skills were not needed because food was available at the grocery and got minimal pushback I knew that 95% of society was doomed.

  • @boredsurvivor2405
    @boredsurvivor2405 Před 3 lety +3

    As a SERE instructor in the army I have a couple of corrections that need addressing. If you stand on the wings, bend forward and grab legs then stand up, the bird splits in 2, much quicker and no need for tools (in your case a knife). The first E in Sere stands for evade, so building a nice smokey fire that needs constant managing for hours... Not so much.!!!
    Also basic food hygiene, you cut the bird and replaced knife into the shieth, contaminating both, I'd keep the knife out until cleaned.
    That being said, a very good survival video with some great Information. Maybe more of an issue with the SERE part of the title. Jmho. In arduis fidellis.

  • @jeffpeters4497
    @jeffpeters4497 Před 3 lety +1

    Glad to see someone finally use the entire bird for a survival situation. It seems that most people these days just show getting the animal, cutting off and cooking the breast, and throwing the rest of it away. In reality though, you got more nutrients from the broth than the rest of the bird combined. Great job.

    @matthewmaxcy1574 Před rokem

    Your videos are excellent...very informative and hands on ,alot of people who view them can see and learn easily as you leave nothing out in between that is necessary in what your teaching.. I live here in Maine I've lived all across the United states been a outdoorsman/trapper/tracker/hunter,fisherman, woodsman since I was 9 yrs old ,spent 90 percent of my life in the outdoors and sadly it's a dying lifestyle with this younger generation and if we don't leave the knowledge it'll be lost as alot has been from our older generations that thankfully taught us what they knew... A quick tip for anyone hunting" partridge " you can stand on the wings grab the legs and pull straight up while the bird is freshly killed and warm and it'll pull the whole breast and legs connected straight out of the bird freshly cleaned and no feathers no insides just plump meat ,wash afterwards and cook or preserve, and rabbits you can grab around the belly by the bottom ribs amd squeeze really hard and the insides will pop amd burst out the end of the rabbit cleaning all the insides out , skin wash and cook. Keep up the great vids.

    There are a lot of wild turkeys, where I live in California, though they aren't native to the area. We used to have a lot more pheasant and quail. They only allow 4 turkeys a year, even though they are an invasive species. The same thing with striped bass fish, being invasive, but they limit what you take and make their money from permits. I think they should let people take all the invasives they want so the natives can come back. There is no limit on jackrabbits.
    Why not eat the pheasant's gizzard?

    As always Andrew, a damned fine video that covered a whole lot more than I’d originally hoped or expected! Just two quick (newbie) questions for you: when you’re smoking the breast meat, how long is “long enough” to protect you from parasite issues, and do you let it dry out for use as jerky, or just long enough to preserve it for later use?
    Thanks in advance (and again, for the exceptional video)!

    • @RangerSurvivalandFieldCraft

One thing though with the smoker, some ppl arent as graceful as others so if they hang the meat on the sticks and then move the tripod, they may drop the meat and sticks into the fire. Maybe an easy lashing on the meat sticks befor tripod movement?

    A tip for you...
    If you roast the bones/carcass before you add it to the stew pot, You will find that it really imparts so much more flavor to the meal. It also will better extract the minerals from a nutritional point of view.
    Thanks for the awesone video...!

  • @willdenoble1898
    @willdenoble1898 Před 9 měsíci

    I recommend using a Dakota fire pit for all things cooking. It’s wind-resistant, burns extremely hot & clean, and burns less wood. It’s also leave-no-trace and so is great for stealth camping. Make sure the gap between fire hole & air hole is only 1-1.5” wide.
    I’ve also used it when making smoking tripods. Put the fire hole inside the tripod and the air hole outside. Use same smoldering fuel as normal.

    The aforementioned video was a massive wake up call because I knew for a fact that I have no idea where to start, or how to process animals after capture, and a snake at that was just too much, so taking time and effort to watch such educational videos definitely helped me gain an understanding like no other, and I appreciate the time and effort you put into this one. At least now I can do it too, if I only put on my big boy pants and push the limits I put on myself 😅
