Dan, please continue to make your learning vids targeted towards the newbies. Great info that the aged vets learn from, as well. Thank you, I learn more bushcraft skills from you and I appreciate you much. Keep the faith, brother. Chuck
One thing the Army taught me was how quickly a pessimistic person can infect the and demotivate the group. Positivity and forward thinking is key to the success of any group.
You guys in the eastern woodlands are freakin spoiled with the variety of trees you have. I’m in the northwest and have few choices beyond pines. I enjoy the heck outta all your videos and knowledge you share. Pine imparts a rather…unpleasant taste until you’re down to just charcoal. And don’t get me started on all your dang Y branches. 👍👍✌️
Good ideas Just remember not to use poisonous wood Either as utensils to cook with Or To burn for fuel If you make a fire and start to get a headache or feel nauseous..... Probably not good stuff on your fire 🔥
I have been camping for a few years now without any open flame of any kind. I use solar power storage and a convection hot plate. I do miss cooking over fire. But here in Oregon you just can't have flames.
Thanks Dan; another useful bit of information. Have always wrapped tripods around each individual supporting pole, this " loose wrap " combined with the turn of the pole is pure genius ***** Cheers.
I've watched many of ur videos. This (in my humble opinion) was one of the best. Also, it was a COOKING VID that did NOT simply make a swedish torch & drop a pan on top. That's what all the other 25billon CZcams outdoor cooking vids were. Thanks for such a good quality teaching video!
I remember how jazzed you were on your channel when you and your crew came up with that tripod lash. For most things I do in the woods that has been my go to method since you introduced it.
Those count as very good ideas. I've cooked in the woods lots of times because I have had to live in them. I never thought of those methods. Thank you!
have found something you might want to try. I love hot chocolate in the field. Recently started using chocolate flavored protein powder. Thought I would try hot tap water in a mug. All the benefits of the protein powder and tastes like swiss miss!
Awesome video! Great methods :). One thing though - I’m a wildfire information officer and it just gives me a lot of anxiety seeing there’s a ton of dry looking (admittedly hard to tell on video) fuel around close to the fire. Always a good idea to dig a hole a foot or so deep to put that fire pit in if you don’t have rocks around - no matter the season :).
I love this one. It was great to break it down to my 13yr and 7yr old sons. How about some suggestions on utensils to use for cooking and eating when you forget them at home.
For the rotisserie, a Dakota fire pit is awesome. The Ram-Jet function requires less fuel to create an extremely hot but controlled burn that is wind resistant.
3 great tool for the toolbox !!! Thank you for posting this video Dan ! I love to cook on a fire . Now I have more ways . What did you end up making with that meat 🍖 ? Take care and stay safe my friend !!!
I learned so much of this a lifetime ago in Boy Scouts, but forgot most of it. Too many camping gadgets I guess. This is all so great though. A much more fun way to do things.
First time I heard of UCO was Dan's video on the brass candle lantern. Just my luck the brass candle lantern was out of stock everywhere, but after buying 2 ( standard and the mini) the brass are now available. I might have to build a small collection.
Absolutely Excellent Presentation Lil Bro!😍MaY Our Precious Creator of LiFe Bless you greatly for sharinG your lifegiVinG skills for Humanity's Benefit especially durinG these Batsh#t crazy times!👍You and Other Very CarinG CZcamsrs...who aRe involved in TeaChinG Survival and BuShcraft Skills...aRe the Reason so many uS will Continue to ThRiVe for years!✌😃🙏😇🌹🌞🌹🌲🔥🌲🌹☕🍵☕🍻🎋
DAN!!! Please continue making simple cooking videos ESPECIALLY cooking WITHOUT pots & pans...SERIOUSLY! You’re saving the PLANET... NO SOAPY DISHWATER!!! I HATE doing dishes in the field😂🤣😂
These methods are great because I hate carrying a grill grate like the basket broiler with me because its so large. If the handle was detachable in some way it'd be perfect but its just such a pain that Ive been using just a flat folding grill. Cant be more than just a pound, if that. Lay a couple of small green branches for supports and keep it level to avoid dropping food
There is another way instead of the third one using green sticks as grille. As cooking time prolong, those sticks will tend to become brittle. Try using a rock, pebble from river bed, or just a piece of flat rock. Clean it off, it will work like cast iron skillet
Love these ideas! When i go to the woods i always make cowboy coffee. I am currently using the small stanley cook set that comes with 2 mugs. It doesn't have a pot hanger it has a folding handle on the side. Any ideas on suspending a pot like that? I am currently just placing the pot on the coals.
Maybe you can squeeze the rim of your mug or pot between two flexible sticks tied together at both ends where they can be hanged upon outside the fire heat? Never practised that, just an idea. Furthermore, there are a lot of knots around to suspend cylindric receptacles. Look for the double fisherman's bend which is adjustable to a certain degree and would suit more than the barrel hitch. Look at www.animatedknots.com. Bye!
I don't see a reason why this should be a stupid idea. It's rather a smart one. Another suggestion for multipurpose use of your gear. Very nice! As I think about it, it seems to me that carrying something between six and twelve one foot long lightweight titanium bars that can be sticked firmly together are not a bad idea: tent pegs, bars for your hammock to keep it flat or tent and shelter poles, tripod or grill, fishing rod or spear, litter for the lazy or stretcher for the starved who don't manage to cook in the woods ... 😁
Honestly, the grill method seems pretty weak -- there's a reason he showed it for all of 3 seconds. If you can't do the full rotisserie for some strange reason, kebabs are the next best thing, like small rotisseries.

In a survival situation one will survive with someone who has humor like dan 😂
Yep. Positive with a sense of humour. The only way to survive, PERIOD!!
Underrated point. It'd do important to stay goal oriented (busy) and keep a positive perspective. Laughing keeps you positive regardless of situation
See him in Alone - poor survivalist but good youtube teacher
King Fu kick to the face🤣🤣
One thing the Army taught me was how quickly a pessimistic person can infect the and demotivate the group. Positivity and forward thinking is key to the success of any group.
Wow. I've been practicing bushcraft for 16 years and never thought of some of these tricks you showed. Thank you!
Ya there really good videos
I can not tell you enough how much these tips are going to change my life. OMG. High five! How simple! I work way too hard! Y branch i love you!
Ouch! Don't cut your paracord. Tie the toggle to the end and take up the slack by wrapping around the top of the tripod.
Love the content.
Or tie a sheep's shank
Hey Dan; I'm living behind Walmart and you have given me HOPE!
Fantastic ! Super! Welcome to XV Century Cookware ! Do not spend $$$ for grills, ovens etc. Delicious .
Nice quick video and well explained! I appreciate you mentioning to use dead and down materials when possible Dan!

im probably never gonna need these skills, but if i ever do, i'll be glad i watched this
The rotisserie is a super method. I smell barbq chicken roasting. Thanks Dan for sweet ideas
Awesome! Love watching older videos too!!! Good old tools for the tool box!! 🇺🇸🇺🇸🪓🔪👍👍
Thanks for the video. You answered my question on how to make the tripod stay standing. I'm definitely going to watch more.

Good ideas
Just remember not to use poisonous wood
Either as utensils to cook with
Or
To burn for fuel
If you make a fire and start to get a headache or feel nauseous.....
Probably not good stuff on your fire 🔥

Great, ...always enjoy your classes.
I wish I was young again so I could come to your actual classes there in PA
This video may be underrated to most but it's crucial to know these things. Remember, humans run on food. 👌
Excellent! Your knowledge that you are passing on to us makes camp life much more enjoyable...
I remember how jazzed you were on your channel when you and your crew came up with that tripod lash. For most things I do in the woods that has been my go to method since you introduced it.
I only stumbled onto Dan's channel last week...really, really enjoying your stuff. Your energy and delivery are also awesome.
Completely awesome thank you for sharing
Simple and smart tripod trick. I'm going to use that method for now on
Great content. Can’t wait till small game season to do some outdoor kooking
Those count as very good ideas. I've cooked in the woods lots of times because I have had to live in them. I never thought of those methods. Thank you!
Just what I was looking for! Surprisingly, I couldn't find a video on how to cook on the field, without a pan or grill. Thanks for that Dan!
czcams.com/video/3gagyHTY4yw/video.htmlsi=FYbVRi_d6uqGDB0K simplest way of cooking or creating a flame
Thanks for this, I live out in the country and thinking of offsetting the electric bill with some good ole fashion outdoor cookin'
Thank you for this ive been obsessed with survival stuff for years now and this is something i wanted to check off my list
Excellent, good systems, love cooking using these methods, cheers.

Many thanks for sharing. Watching from the tropical rainforest of Suriname 👍🇸🇷

Instantly subscribed after I saw the tripod.
You Sir are my Spirit Animal.... Love the videos!
Thoroughly enjoyed watching your video. Thank you.
This is one of my favorite channels.
AWESOME, as always, Thank You very much Sir for sharing. Greetings from France ^_^
This video made me so happy! 😃
Thats amazing ty for sharing! I'll share ur videos too 😁
Outstanding job Dan. Great video. But please loose the background music. It’s very disruptive.
Awesome 👏 information champ love watching 😁😁😁👍👍👍
Me watching this while sitting on my sofa eating chips 💀
Same but ice cream, (it's a hot day)😅
@@bushcraftbasics2036 needless to say, we won’t be using any of these skills any time soon 🤣
Wow very simple! Thanks
terrific video UCO. I killed the thumbs up on your video. Keep on up the exceptional work.
Thanks so much for sharing. Ur vids are clear concise and super informative.
Great ideas ! except eye of round roast while camping though ? ;) I bet that was chewy and tough LOL
Brilliant ideas you just gained a subscriber!
I learned so much of this a lifetime ago in Boy Scouts, but forgot most of it. Too many camping gadgets I guess. This is all so great though. A much more fun way to do things.

NO SOAPY DISHWATER!!!
I HATE doing dishes in the field😂🤣😂
Thanks for the lesson brother.
Really great advice with show how thank you
Really love the rotisserie advice, always struggled with that!
Dan, don't forget the Habersett Scrapple in one of your shows, I know you know what I'm talking about
Sometimes, it is good to have the basics explained. It tops up my memory 😉😂🤣🤣😎

@Dan...Where can I grab that flannel? It’s awesome. (Vid is too).
Outstanding!

I was gonna say that grill is pretty sus. Your meat had better cook fast!
We always used the flat rock method for fish, and it works perfectly.

If you could put 2 holes just below the rim you could use a metal coat hanger to add a bail!

Some version of the grill technique should work to place it on top off
Brilliant ideas! Especially the rotisserie,... but they are all great! Subscribing now.
Been watching Coalcracker for years, but only just discovered this. Happy days.
Genius hack on the tripod.
Ok tell me if this is a stupid idea but if you have clean long metal pegs could you use those for the grill top?
I don't see a reason why this should be a stupid idea. It's rather a smart one. Another suggestion for multipurpose use of your gear. Very nice!
As I think about it, it seems to me that carrying something between six and twelve one foot long lightweight titanium bars that can be sticked firmly together are not a bad idea: tent pegs, bars for your hammock to keep it flat or tent and shelter poles, tripod or grill, fishing rod or spear, litter for the lazy or stretcher for the starved who don't manage to cook in the woods ... 😁
No idea is stupid when you in the wilderness trying to survive. The most craziest ideas could save your life
Honestly, the grill method seems pretty weak -- there's a reason he showed it for all of 3 seconds.
If you can't do the full rotisserie for some strange reason, kebabs are the next best thing, like small rotisseries.
Great setups 💪👍!!
You will be so popular soon 😉 because you are cool man
Thank you for your sharing this video.
Very cool
Great info. Thank you. Appreciate your teaching.
Thank you for sharing those great ideas.
That grill is sick
Great video, thanks for making it. It's going to help me out no end!
Owesom thanks so much 💖👍
Is that a Filsom vintage style shirt? great vid... thanks
This is genius!
If you don't have a drill, you can make a Swedish torch in other ways. Just search Swedish torch.
I definitely subscribed that's cool
Use a tensioner knot to move pot up and down
So COOL
Dan,tell me how that last grill grate did not burn up before the meat was cooked ?!
these are such great tips. dans the man
thanks Dan
👍🏻
Two videos from Dan today. Made my night when that notification came up from UCO! Thank you guys for all you do 💪👍!!
excellent dan. great teacher
Just subbed to their channel 😊👍👌.
That green stick grill really holds up long enough to cook the steak? Wow
