  • cooking a camp omelett with a vintage boy scout mess kit from the 1930's . many campers began with boy scout camping gear. and for the most part if good gear.often the old gear such as this vintage boy scout mess kit from the 1930's is better than the modern set.cooking on a campfire is a fun challenge and doing bushcraft is a great way to learn now cooking skills

    Thanks for the tutorial. I love the way you made that fire. Beats shoveling coals from a larger fire any day. One recommendation try to not cut the root(bottom) and core of the onion. That what gives you that scent that makes your eyes water. :)

    My grandfather made our camp fire like that and had a leftover cast-iron grate from a contractor job and set it up across the minilogs and thanks for the video it's been a reminder of him and those times we went out camping

    Vintage BSA mess kits can be found on line at "Etsy". They generally sell for $15 to $25. The older ones are all metal. The later models have a plastic cup and a plastic knob on the lid.

    There were a lot of things to notice and like in this video: the fire irons on small logs, your utensil bag, turning and eating with a butter knife, and the eggs tomato and onion! A sprinkle of salt and pepper would have been ok, too! I liked your setting the skillet on a plate to eat from it. Keep making videos like this: simple, yet full of ideas!

    Enjoyed the video. Nice quick way to have coals for cooking. I am going to try that breakfast. It looks delicious. Thank you for sharing.

    finally someone who remembers how to strike a match to start a fire...very refreshing from all the ferro rod warriors

    • @BLACKIETHOMAS
      @BLACKIETHOMAS  Před 3 lety +1

      i feel you should build skill in everything ...lighters/ fire rod /char cloth /and flint steel /solar..and of course matches they all have a place

  • @toneyjohnson8910

    I have had that very breakfast many times on the trail thanks for sharing.

    Thanks Blackie, who knew you could light a fire with a match. lol. Sorry I have been watching too many "bushcraft" videos. Great job.

    Great little breakfast fire! I love the broad arrow air flow. Made me hungry! 😁

    I`ve got one of those match safes, had it for over 50 years.
    Good stuff lasts forever.

      i replace the rubber stopper every few yrs but other wise it does a really good job

  • @blackhatbushcraft
    @blackhatbushcraft Před 7 lety +2

    Very enjoyable video Blackie. The food looked delicious. I have the exact same BSA mess kit and it is an excellent backpack kit. The quality of that old BSA stuff is just so much more superior to what they put out today. Thanks for sharing brother. Take care.

    Great video I would like to see a video on how they used to clean the utensils in the old days

    • @BLACKIETHOMAS
      @BLACKIETHOMAS  Před 7 lety +1

      simple..one done eating pot is returned to fire with water to boil...this is used to clean the blades of forks knives ect..and to get the left over food to float off the pot..a quick scrub and its done

    I've used something similar for a fire lay. Great to learn a new way. Thanks for sharing.

  • @troyhill9329
    @troyhill9329 Před 5 lety +1

    Great video Blackie. Just a thought... shallow bury the onion root to start a foraging find for you or someone else in need later on down the road. Onions will take hold and grow just about anywhere, and if it doesn't come up next year, no harm done. 😁👍

  • @dustydustydusty
    @dustydustydusty Před 7 lety +1

    like the air channel concept. will try tonight. but I will be grilling a steak and a neat thing I picked up a few years back is putting the onion skins normally discarded onto the coals before cooking. helps season the meat and smells great.
    Here's to smoke in your eyes!
    great video!

  • @jelkel25
    @jelkel25 Před 7 lety +1

    You're doing what the fire boxes are supposed to do without the fire box. I've been ''over engineering'' that situation and digging a small Dakota firepit (though it is handy if you want to leave no trace) and replaced the tent pegs with kebab skewer's (a multiple use item). Haven't seen one of those match safes in years!

    i would love to do more videos of cooking over campfires, but i'm not sure how big the fires should be, and how much coals i need.

    • @BLACKIETHOMAS

    OK so I am sitting here after work watching your video, Beer and a pile of donut's. So why do I think I've got the short end of the stick?

  • @blueridgebushcraft8294
    @blueridgebushcraft8294 Před 7 lety +1

    What? Lighting a fire with a match on a bushcraft channel. How dare you. No flint and steel or ferro rod or bow drill. Ha ha ha just kidding. That's the way to do it. If you have matchs or a lighter then use it. That's what they are for right. Thanks and keep up the good work.

    Blackie, Sir. How do you carry eggs out in the field? TY & TU.

  • @ShelleyRaskin
    @ShelleyRaskin Před 7 lety +1

    Hate to see you chopping that knife onto a metal plate, if you got a thin piece of cedar and chopped it into a circle that was the same size as the smaller hollow on your plate then that would make an excellent, cheap, light and replaceable chopping block that would not take up much room and preserve your knife blade...

    • @BLACKIETHOMAS
      @BLACKIETHOMAS  Před 7 lety +1

      good advice..the thing you don't know ..is that the knife is basically a butter knife the edge is as thick as a hacksaw blade..i chose the knife because i would not hurt the plate pan or the knife to use.
