- COOKING ON A CAMPFIRE ALONG THE TRAIL DURING A HIKING OR CAMPING TRIP CAN BE A BIG PAIN.BUT WITH A FEW SIMPLE TIPS AND TRICKS YOU CAN COOK GREAT MEALS THAT DON'T WEIGH MUCH BUT PROVIDE A GOOD FILLING MEAL. HE I GIVE MY THOUGHTS ON HOW TO USE DRY PEAS AS A WAY TO BRING SOME FLAVOR TO CAMPFIRE COOKING
Excellent tips. Beans and rice is a great meal and with that country ham it goes to an excellent meal
good tips Blackie. I am not campfire cooking Guru so this video helps out ALOT!!! I am more of a potato, onion, green pepper, steak in a cast iron pan and season liberally with black pepper and red pepper chunks. I haven't gotten in to the beans and rice just yet, but looking to do so because they are easier to carry. Thanks for posting Blackie!!!
I love ur show its full of useful information and very entertaining thank u blackie keep up the great work
I always enjoy your videos. And I always learn something. And there's nothing like campfire cooking.
Good common sense bushcraft cooking. Wonderful tips for newcomers to camp cooking, great reminders for those who know. Thank you for sharing.
Great video, buy trimmings all the time. I also bring lintels with me,small and cook quickly. Beans and rice make a perfect protein.
Great ideas, Blackie! One could raise his own veggies at home and dry them for later use. One could make his own jerky at home from deer or elk. One could choose to go plant based and leave out the meat. Learn to use all of the wonderful spices that are available. If One makes most of his own foodstuff at home, he knows what is in it.
Love me some dried beans I just bought some beans from Colorado and pick up two ham-hocks to cook in them can't wait until the are done. If it taste good you will see them at camp the winter. Thanks for the video.
Green lentils and brown rice are good staples too. I keep multiple pounds of each, and one advantage is they have approximately the same cook time and neither require overnight soaking. Also, 1 cup of each goes a LONG way!
Not sure about your area but here in Central Florida the grocery stores have a large selection of dried / dehydrated foods to chose from. All you have to do is to look around really well and just about anything can be located. Anything that can't be found can be located at Harmony House Foods , especially backpacking ( dehydrated , Frieze dried ) fruits and vegetables plus beans & seasonings. I like to mix and match and pack it in Zip lock freezer bags for cooking later on the freezer bag method.
Canoeing I take a Nalgene bottle , put the dried items ( Dehydrated Beans , Rice , Onion , Celery & seasoning ) in it with some water and let it roll around in the canoe till I want it for supper... just heat and heat. Goes real good with some fresh fish.
Very good words of wisdom have been doing this for years
Early bird gets the first comment! Little after6 am, house is quiet, hot cup of coffee and a new Blackie video!!it's the simple things I learn to appreciate as I get older.Thank you for the content.
its my pleasure..glad to share..safe journeys
As much as I like jerky, I have never thought of re-hydrating it in beans or soup! Thanks for the great idea, Blackie!
Old school cooking. Excellent!!!
Interesting and informative like all your videos. It was a joy to watch!
Very useful, thanks for that. Here in the UK sometimes I've also used Couscous, a North African dried semolina like a fine pasta but no water to drain off. Flash fry veg in pot, add one part couscous, two parts boiling water, curry powder and stir for five minutes. Very good if you're short of fuel or you want to do a quick cook and keep on the move. :-)
actually my wife likes couscous..its not my favorite..lol but we have it from time to time
11:14 Blackie made a Freudian slip... "Hemp, I mean Temp". Lol!!!
All humor aside, Cool vid Blackie!!!👍
Thank you for this video and all of the others this year. Happy new year to you and everyone you love.
Good video. Blackie. God bless. From Glenn CATT in Massachusetts.
Hi Blackie, great video thanks, my mom used to clean pots whith burnt on food by filing whith water and adding bio,washing powder, bring to boil a and keep simmering ,adding more water if needed, it usually brought em up like new. Best wishes for the new year, Stuart uk.
Awesome advice on the practicing cooking.
Great ideas for camping out or surviving in the woods. It doesn't have to be boring or hard. I like the fact that you said practice before doing this out in the woods very important!!! That statement goes for anything you will be doing in the woods. Knowledge and experience go hand-in-hand in any type of situation either being survival or just having fun in the woods! Great video...
i try to stress to the new woodscrafter to practice all these skills at home so when i goes bad and it will often you got a way to fix or start over..once you have a good working knowledge take the skill to the field and go for more depth of knowledge
Thank for some good ideas and another fine video... Sam Adler
Solid video. Great content for the community
Heck yes .. black eye peas and rice with ham .. southern delicacy
& CORNBREAD!!!
Keith Cronk Easy way to bake corn bread in a bush pot .. if your near a dollar tree store Find the stainless dog food / cat food bowls that will fit inside your pot turn one upside down to create the air space. The other right side up holding your mix. Cook over even coals with generous coals on the bush pot lid itself .. do this with the bush pot sitting upright not laying on side .. rotate the pot on the coals ever five minutes to ensure even heat .. check periodically to test doneness .. now enjoy some corn bread with them peas and rice .😀
@@kenbarrett2500 thank you me going to do that. Iam written this down. Way cool.stay frosty brother
Thanks for the cooking advice
Great advice Blackie. Happy Holidays to you and yours.
Great video, I've started adding dehydrated mushrooms. Still working on it.
We had a country ham this Christmas. It was delicious!
A 32oz thermos is pretty good for letting beans & rice soak.
i have done that in the deep winter to keep them hot and keep them from freezing
New subscribers here from Trail Trash Outdoors! Awsome video good sir
Blackeyed peas and mashed potatoes (dried potatoes) ---DELICIOUS
One of your best videos, Blackie! I had just bought a dehydrator and was still trying to figure out what I could do with it. You just cleared that up! I made some homemade jerky, now I can do that and some veggies, and make my own lite weight, "MRE'S"!
I have used rice in the field, cooking it in an MSR Seagull pot. I figured the VC & NVA did pretty well using this as a food foundation...it works! Very best regards, and have a Happy New Year! JA
happy new year to you as well
Good vid Blackie.
You can get your own dehydrator for the price of 3/4 Mountain Houses. OK, you have to put in the time and effort to dehydrate your own stuff but having mostly your choices of what to eat lightweight and cheaper makes a big difference when you're tired in the middle of nowhere. I picked and spiced the jerkied steak I'm eating that night and it still cost less than mountain house.
Curious, I always use the technique of "thermos cooking" for that type of food, for the backpack I use the Primus trailbreak, because it is the lightest of the food thermos that I have.
The idea is that after dinner, I use it to make my oatmeal for breakfast, essentially I put the oatmeal, hot water (the idea is that it is below 50° C) and a splash of vinegar, during the night fermentation occurs , and in the morning I have a delicious breakfast.
I also leave the beans in water all the night (typically in the canteen cup).
For breakfast, after eating the oatmeal, I boil water and fill the thermos (pre-heating), and put the beans with water on the fire (in the canteen cup) for 5 minutes, then empty the thermo (which had water boiling) and I put the beans with the boiling water. I will take it in there until midday meal, at which time I will pass the beans that will already be soft to cook with the rest of the ingredients in the final container.
Here I put a recipe from people who also use thermos of food for cooking beans
theboatgalley.com/dried-beans-in-a-thermos/
Thanks for the info. I've subscribed, looks like a wonderful resource.
thermos cooking is a great way to soak and slow cook amany meals while you out doing other things like hunting or fishing..i will often use that method during the deep winter to keep the soaking beans from freezing over night
Very good thanks
It's all been said, so 'jes feedin' the algorithm.
great video.
Blackie I've used dryer lint for my starting fires doesn't take much to do it is cheap to get a free ride out of your house but I do care you let I do carry guy killing with me
You just can’t beat good ole country ham in a biscuit.
I have boiled my beans 20..30 min then poured beans and boiling water into a large STANLEY thermos. Seal and sit till morning. Bug n critter proof..holds heat...drain..add fresh water and cooked BACON or polish sausage onion..salt etc...finish cooking
sound idea..
Happy New Years Blackie!
Great video Blackie as usual
thanks brother
i saw your mouth watering when you were showing off the ham. Probably took some not to crack that open and cook some up.
My last trip to dollar store they had bacon jerky I’ve used it in grits
Yes sir🤠👍I like the mes kit tipe of cooking I found when I get the time to hydrate vegetables of all kinds mix them with rice&some spice in a vacuum bag brig bags of jerky or eny packaged meet works realy great for me also
Thanx bro have a great new year
I pre-cook the beans then dehydrate them (I use a dehydrator, but you can do it in a low oven overnight). Takes FAR less time to prep them to eat. Put'em in a thermos overnight with some hot water to rehydrate and you're good to go in the AM.
exactly if you cook and then simple dehydrate its a fast heat and rehydrate
Omg you said "Scotch Blood" are you of the Thomas Clan?
My ancestry is of the Stuart Clan. I knew we had some things in common but 😳 wow.
yes sir i am from macthomas clan..we arrived in the south in 1735 to help form the colony of georgia..soon as our 7 yrs indenturement was over we moved into the indian lands of what is now alabama been here ever since
If you add some baking soda to the soak It'll prevent forest fires. lol gas, yes fartin gas. Learned that in Texas, probably cause they eat black eye peas for good luck at new years. Take care
One of my favorite meals fried potatoes and onions mixed in a bowl of pinto beans. Not quite camp food but that’s ok.
Thanks Blackie. .....I just subscribed. I'm goin' try some chunked-up some jerky & put it in my rice this weekend for my first at-home practice session. By the way, Are you a part-time blacksmith? If "yes", can you make something for me? If not, can you recommend 2 or 3 blacksmiths for an easy project? Thanks again, MadrasMark from Oregon
i played with a anvil and forge back in my buckskinning days..nothing in yrs..sorry that i dont know any right now to recomend to ya
Many thanks for sharing this Blackie. Back when I was a kid we ate a lot of beans with ham usually as it was cheap. How are you liking that BCB canteen cup and canteen? Where did you get them?
i have had the canteen a few yrs and got the cup a few months ago..i like it but i have not had a lot of time with it yet
@@BLACKIETHOMAS I bought the BCB MKII cooker & I use my Trangia alcohol stove with my GI cup. Outstanding combination. I ordered it off ebay and from across the pond it took 2 1/2 weeks shipping, but arrived undamaged.
BLACKIE THOMAS I had to put a O ring in my British canteen caps to stop them from leaking. Other than that, good canteens. Mine came with plastic cups.
Black powder
Your favorite vegetable in the field is beans? Are beans a vegetable? I'm pretty sure that doesn't count lol
lol yep
I always use SPLIT PEAS in my BEANS its a thickener and of course I like PEAS, By the time beans are done the peas have broke down into the sauce and make your beans not too require MEAT if you like it that way. !!-!!
Dumb question for you, Once the boiling as commenced do you keep an eye on the water level and replace the water as needed to ensure you have that finger with on top?
yes the first boil not so much because of the short 20 min..but during the full cook each time i check and stir i watch the water level if low i will add a bit
The problem I have with any " instant " cook food is the lack of nutrition . Being so over processed and pre cooked have rendered it down to next to nothing but cardboard .
If you don't practice at home beforehand, take extra toilet paper. LOL America out west was discovered because of beans. I don't hear many people talking about seasoning in their kits. Salt especially is important.
Black eyed peas, rice, and a big honking slice of onion
Blacky hope you do some more videos like this thanks for your teaching.
Sounds like the hunting season started...
yep and i am down hill from my local shooting range
Holy crap, only the govt. can afford an M.R.E. Hell of a reason to join the military just to get a meal.
This went from what to bring to how to cook beans and a ham comercial. What the hell happened?
what foods to bring this was peas beans..or other dried soak cook meals
Why tell us all that for over 16 minutes..Why not show us how to cook it....
