YES Defiantly you need to make a factory and get you some workers and become a millionaire, you have got the mind for it and we campers need gear made in the USA by the man from USA, you are a great american, Thank you for some great ideas !!!
Your equipment is not so much 'home made' as they are 'handcrafted' and individually designed. Thanks for showing us your journey through making things 'everyone needs' and things 'few of us would have imagined!' The 'industrial engineering' on some of these tools is magnificent! I would guess that many of your designs with legs and metal pans are designed to get the fire out of the cold and the damp (oh...you just said that in the video as I was typing.) That 'twist-lock circle with the 'dingle sticks' is just ingenious! For example: 'you don't even have to tie a notch' tripod disc. There are more good ideas in this one video than other fine bushcrafters offer in a whole series of tips.
Thanks James! I'm glad you liked all the gear. Yep, a lot of my set ups are aimed at keeping the fire off the ground and out of the mud or snow. Way more radical set ups to come in part two!
Dave, you are something else. That is a lot of clever ideas. You, going over all this stuff, is like memory lane walking back through all your videos. You need to be an inventor. Thanks for sharing
Thanks Monica! Funny thing, as I went through this stuff and the stuff for part two, not only did it trigger memories but it showed me how much Ive improved the way I build things. In part two theres two cook sets I showed and in my mind I was thinking "Why did I do it that way"? LOL.
Hello David, I like ow you show your gear and the way you "teach" or "mentor": WHY you did it and HOW, the sucesses and mistakes. And yes: go out and enjoy the outdoors. Greetings from Bavaria, Michael
Nice to see all your neat cooking gear again Dave, that were in your videos. Congratulations on your 100K subscribers also! You deserve it brother, the best channel out there. Thanks again for all you do.
I just got done making myself an egg and cheese sandwich since you made me hungry. Now I am watching this video, you sure are knowledgeable. I never seen those sticks. I grew up in the country city. Didn't learn much. But, when I grew up I moved to the rural country hour to town. But, ended up back in city. Going to move back to the sticks. I had an idea to dig a hole and put a grate down in there with a turkey, covered it left air holes, and smoked it in the ground over night. That was so good! I imagine if you was in the swamp you couldn't so these tree hanging ideas are great. Or to save your back from bending over to cook. I can't believe all you fit in a video. So much learning.
LOL, A lot of my Chef Daves videos make folks hungry. I have that effect on people. A lot of these ideas do stem from swamps and wetlands but yes, they are also back savers. I have double this amount to show in part two! Thanks for watching Angela.
Genius. All of it. Patent as many as you can b4 somebody steals your ideas. Very interesting to watch. Moving camera around was a pain but what you presented to us was very valuable. Now on to part 2, thank you.
Lately I've been having so much fun in the woods, I haven't had time to keep up with the latest and greatest youtube videos....then I see this two part series you did in my sub list, and realize I am about to dedicate hours of my life to them. AWESOME! It'll take me awhile to watch, but I'll enjoy every minute. Thanks for sharing, keep up the good work!
You are truly the Dr. Suess of camp cooking. That is meant as a sincere compliment. Heaps of ideas & ingenuity. Looking forward to watching part two of your outdoor cooking gadgets.
David your stuff is awesome iam out enjoying life been on long trip to southern Colorado Enjoyed part 1 look forward for part 2 Thanks You call it home made you have unique skills to build the things you think of And yes you should market some of your ideas Their are folks that don't have the skills to do the things you can Thanks for sharing some of the ideas your mentors shared with you Iam going to make Reds Rings They can be used in many ways I would have watched a 2hr video Your ideas are craft more than home made And again THAK YOU for sharing all you put in your videos You have help many of us better enjoy the outdoors
Thanks David! Part two will be even longer than this one! Very cool you're gonna make reds rings. There's a lot of history behind them. Enjoy the rest of the trip and thanks for watching
Awesome video little brother. I made me a couple of your 2 piece dimple and straight pot stands a couple of years ago. I liked the idea of having the upright poke up so things wouldn't slide off. I made mine out of scrap pieces of cattle panels so all I had to do was cut them to size and then make the dimples. I made two to take on an overnight paddle with my sister and brother in law on the elk river. They really took up no room in the kayak. We were pooped by the time we could put in to a place where we could pitch camp on the bank. I popped those two sets in the ground and put a grill across them and used a little bit of ground magnesium and a little bit of ground up fat wood and my ferro cerium rod and had chicken and dumplings so fast you wouldn't believe it. It worked great! Thanks for that idea brother.
Thanks Sis! I'm happy you liked it. That's so cool you made some of those stands! The dumplings and kayak trip sounded great! Take care and thanks for watching
You're such a smart man and also a very organized man in your man cave. You have such an inventive mind. Always creating. Like I said before you have enough for the neighborhood, or your grandchildren and their friends if the dog do hits the fan. Thanks for sharing your talent and knowledge as always it helps someone out there.
Imagine that, David; 100 thousand people are following your videos! Congratulations! Every one of these solutions are great ideas for cooking in the bush. Great work and God bless. Doc Tom
When and if you retire these systems needs to go into the ReallyBigMonkey1 museum...think about it. I remember almost all of the cook kits very cool. Looking forward to Part 2. Take care.
Well done! In the medical world, these would be called "evidence-based devices" - you sense a need, design, create, experiment, and evaluate. Very cool to see how you have been able to realize your designs and so willing to share your results....and enjoy what you do. Refreshing...
Thanks Karen! I really like how you put it. I've just always looked at it like "If I can dream it, I wanna build it" Thanks for the comments and thanks for watching
I just found your videos and am really enjoying them. It's my day off, cold and rainy so I'm thinking Ima gonna binge watch for a while. Your ideas are unique in that they are creative and based in practicality. I love that. Your sense of humor and relaxed down to earth nature are very refreshing. And that accent makes me think you may be from my neck of the woods. If I was 10 years younger, you'd be in trouble! But seriously, I became a prepper by accident about 20 years ago when I got snowed/iced in for 4 weeks and 3 days. I had just moved, lived on a mountain, and no one could get to me. Just a woman by herself with two dogs. Fortunately I've always had a practical streak and had just "stocked up" on some things for the winter. That was what we called it back then before the term "prepping" had been coined (and horribly over used). Anyway, over the years I have honed my practicality and really enjoy the tinkering and creative, resourceful side of prepping. I haven't searched yet to see if you're still making videos, but I hope so. I am learning a lot, and at the risk of repeating myself really enjoy them. You have a lot to offer, so keep on keeping on!
Thanks Debra and I'm happy you like the videos! I believe I'm over 200 videos now and they all have the same basis. Homemade cheap out of the box thinking! Also cool th hear about your prior experiences with being prepared. Oh, I'm from Northwest Georgia. Take care and thanks for watching!
Thank You, for the good Information. As a former «boy-scout», it’s a Great Idea, to get «outside», again. Thank You, for the Video, sir. My best Greetings, from Norway! 😀👍
I have to say, I still love those little green plastic sliding rope hooks and the wooden ovals are cool too. I was thinking a piece of thick wire bent around one side and that crosses or swivels in front (Like a belt buckle) of the hole would act as a built in toggle. Seems to me you could actually take a camping trip, maybe by bike or kayak, and setup a camp using the small devices and gadgets. They're small, lightweight and great time savers such as the "Tripod Disk" that only requires three poles to setup. In combination with your covered bungee cords a person could go minimal, but setup a good camp in short time with minimal labor.
Thanks! I'm glad you like my inventions! I've used this stuff in all kinds of different ways. Often times they do make things easier. Thanks for watching!
So now you know... Next time you do a video, only one table full of gear per video. . . Thanks for showing all the great, innovative home made gear that you've made over the years. I especially appreciate the disks that you show the alternatives to welding in wood. Thank you. ❤🌅🌵
I honestly thought it would all fit in one video! Part two should be over an hour long after editing. I try to make stuff out of wood any time it's possible so others can copy the gear.
Sitting at the truck stop watching one of my favorite TH-camrs hope you got you leaks taken care of Dave. One thing I love about your channel is you keep it real.
You are truly blessed to have all your skills and you mentioned your mentor Red I feel like you know how to give credit where it's do! Another word comes to mind and this is RESPECT and honoring those folks who have been a person who taught you how to make very special tools for the great outdoors! You have some really creative ideas and skills! I use to watch videos on brush crafts but I lost interest but after watching this video I'd like to try get into with a mentor because my husband did these things and then I would do the cooking and baking and grilled meals but with heavy cast iron skillets! But I have tendinitis in both my arms and I can no longer a lift those heavy things like I did before. But with the stuff you show it would make it easier on my life! Thank you for all the different ideas on hanging methods with some creative tools! I really perked up when you showed the Ravel bakers items which I love baking bread 🍞 of any types and fruit dishes like mixed berries with apples 🍏! I hope your next video comes out soon sir.👍👍👍🙏
Oh very blessed to have had mentors! Now Red was actually my mentors mentor. If that makes sense? Kinda like my Grandfather of bushcraft. LOL. Without them I may not have ever gone into the woods or gone camping at all. That Rival cake n bake is one incredible device! They the lid vents just right for anything that needs baking. Thanks for watching
As usual Dave , your " little world " of inventions is mind bogeling ! Super job. Many of these things I have seen before but it makes a big impression when seen all at once. Atb my friend Paul
Watching this at 0030 here in the UK, I was thinking that a first class outdoor chef needs first class equipment. Looking forward to part 2. Be well & stay safe. Dave.
100,000 subs, you truly deserve it Dave. Love your grill designs, as I only discovered your channel late last year most of this is fresh in my mind. Hope to see chef Dave back in the woods , when you find the time of course. Thanks for the great vids, here's to the next 100k :-)
Thanks Mike and I'm glad you like what all I do. Man I have a huge list of video ideas to film and half of them are cooking videos! Chef Dave shall strike again as soon as possible! Thanks for watching
Thank you. I have learned a ton from this video. I m not a regular camper...but love nature and the outdoors. You explained very well and sounded like you were speakin as a frirnd🏡
Dave, since the first time I saw one of your videos, I knew you were smart and inventive, but this video shows you to be GENIUS! Rube Goldberg could learn a thing or two from you! Thank you for these great ideas. Now, I'm headed into Part Two to learn more! Oh, I second the motion of going into business!
Thank you Jerry! Man I have no idea how a business would go with this stuff. It seems like theres already a lot selling outdoor gear and more and more getting into it every day!
I’ve just found your channel today I’m only 15 minutes into this video I subscribed pretty much straight away, but wow you have such imagination and talent for all of you camping, cooking equipment. I am in awe!
Watching the section with the twist disc reminded me of something I saw a long time ago that might be handy at camp. I once saw a camp chair that was made with a twist disc. I hope it’s not confusing but you need shorter legs for the tripod then extend the sticks farther through the top of of the twist disc maybe 6 to 8 inches past the top of the twist disc. Then you need to sow a triangle piece of heavy duty fabric that has a pocket sown into every corner. The fabric slides over the sticks that are sticking up over the twist disc. The whole thing locks in and it makes for a pretty comfy chair with minimal equipment or just another use for your twist disc. Just make sure the twist disc is sturdy enough to handle your weight.
Here is an idea for your bag closure. Get an old discarded refrigerator gasket and remove the magnet. Stitch it into the top of your bag and boom! Automatic magnetic closing bag. I just thought of that. It's worth a try I think. Best wishes from the Caribbean.
Extremely impressed brother! You take the cake for different Bushware my friend!...Great Video this! Top stuff! - Now onto part two... Cheers Dave, Take care.
Good to see you back! I check almost every day to see if you've added another video and assume you must be working more hours once again... Thanks for the excellent video and seeing your inventions and how and why they were designed the way you did. Keep up the excellent work and know we're looking forward to Part 2!!!
Great to be on here and great to hear you check back often! Yes, I'm still working all kinds of hours. Someday it will slow down? Thanks for watching my friend
Thanks for posting this. There's some brilliant stuff in here... although a few things have left me scratching my head, like the 'ring around the suspended coffee pot'!
Thanks Jesse! It would be more like my other gear for them rings to be stainless and paracord but it gives me a good feeling to pay homage to Red by keeping em wood and leather. Thanks for watching and see ya in the next one Jesse
Hey Dave, Thanks for giving us yet another in-depth peek into '' Good ol' Mr. Dave P.'s bush-craft modifications, gear, rigs, tricks, and trinkets emporium''...part 1....Another relaxing installment Brother, I'm sure you had a few '' I forgot about this'', or ''I remember when I used this to ...'' moments...Your fabrications are functional and brilliant...It was fun for us too to see some ''jewels'' from the past ...Cheers to you for hitting 100k subs Dave !!...You've waited far too long...Don't forget to submit your request for your Silver Play Button, because someone said they won't send it otherwise !!...You've earned it twice over, so be sure you get it Brother !!...ATB man, and Blessings to y'all...We'll see ya in the next one !!
You are very welcome Steve and I'm glad you liked it all. This was a good trip down memory lane and it will be even bigger in part two. I'm stoked over the 100,000! I never thought I'd make it this far. Take care and thanks for watching brother!
5:10 Brilliant as always. LOL sorry I had to say that before I even got beyond the 5 minute mark of the video. Almost everything I have seen in your videos that is home made are brilliant and I still think you need to patent and market most of your ideas.
Dave I’ll say it again you are an out of the box thinking Genius Bro”that coffee pot hanger&a couple others are Amazing! Your gear rooms better then allot of sports shops iv seen good to see ya back God bless u&yours safe trails
Thanks, I'm glad you like the way I think! My gear room is certainly more specialized but the best part is its all good quality stuff. Thanks for watching and may God bless you too
Ah, maybe not the perfect gear. Just specialized gear for a certain environment. And I like making stuff. Lol. Thanks for watching and see ya in part two
Nice to see ya back! Great video. You have quite the creative mind. I really like the stainless tripod rings. They are awesome. Reds rings are ingenious as well. Looking forward to Part 2.
I remember watching your videos when you first started posting. It's neat to watch all of your creations! I say do with what you got! You have done in awesome job and lots of creativity on your projects!
you are a genius. we love you cooking systems. now we need some more cooking videos. been watching for the 100 k. good job. we also love the fact that your video content is suitable for the family.
Thanks Brianna! I have a huge list of videos to film and half of them are cooking vids! My vids will always be family friendly. Kids need to see and do outdoor adventures like these.
Dave, those wood (& metal) tripod discs are a great tool. They save am incredible amount of time. Also saving tons of cordage for other uses. Hint; taper gouge out the wooden discs holes in one direction on one side, the opposite direction on the obverse side. This way each wooden leg lays in it's proper direction & angle with better support. You could probably sell your metal version to Self-reliance for their store. Dave C. definitely appreciates hand made tools. Patent that tool!
I commented on the last video you made featuring the Rival...and I said that I found a complete set with instructions at my local thrift store. 2 bucks my friend. Never knew what I had until I watched your video. I officially have a “little gem”.
Man you have such an amazing mind. The stuff you have created and the way you look at situations, is just WOW! I will be keeping my eyes open wide when I make it to the flea market next time. Seriously.
Thanks Tressa! Yep, gotta look at all situations and environments and find a useable solution. Often times it's odd looking! Thanks for watching my friend
I just love your prolific mind and creativity! My main fave device in this video is your "Hanging Fire" grill with the swamp coffee pot, for when there is no dry ground to support a cookfire. Red's rings are great too. So are your Fish Bottle Hangers, and the Tripod Twister. You truly add so much to the fields of Bushcraft and Campcraft and positive-focussed Survival with all your neat ideas :-)! Thank you for putting in all the time and effort to build these things and share them with us! You and your Channel are both much appreciated :-).
The “Tripod Pan Cooker”/hanging coffee pot setup is the coolest piece of gear I’ve ever seen. I would’ve never thought of it, and I’ve been in situations, like you described, where it would have been extremely useful. Very very cool!
Hello Dave nice to see you again. I hope you are well. I thought I had a lot of gear but man Im just a beginner compared to that collection. I showed it to my wife because she thinks I have too much gear ….. I wont repeat what she said!! I look forward to getting one or two new items …. take care brother and keep on inventing! atb Jim
Hello Jim! All is well here. Just busy busy busy. I'm guessing the wife is allowing you a lot more gear after seeing how much junk I've collected. Lol. Take care and thanks for watching!
Loved this reminiscing video! I think I've watched all ur old vids demonstrating these after u made them! I never seen that big Rival Crock n Bake thing! What a novelty!! I'll keep my eye out for that one, I got 2 of the smaller ones. Been trying to find that old ice bucket too... not yet tho! Thx Dave! This is a good one, I enjoyed it! Can't wait for part 2!!!
Thanks! I'm happy you liked it. It brought back a lot of good memories for me too. Especially filming part two! That newer size cake n bake was a shock to me but I'm happy to have it! Thanks for watching and see ya in part two
Great Video I remember watching when you use the Swiss Army Volcano Stove. I got one gave to me from a friend that work at a Army Suplus. I also remember when you made cornbread in the Rival Cake and Bake Pan.
Thanks brother, I'm glad you liked it. That swiss volcano stove is still fun to use. I've done a few more things with the cake n bake but not on video. O never like to show an item too much. Thanks for watching
I've seen videos where you cut metal measuring tapes and put into the edge of those bags. Then you can open them and they stay open until you snap them shut! Pretty cool!
Not my idea. I thought it was pretty cool and if if my husband could find all of the tape measures he's misplaced over the years, we could supply them for who knows how many bags! LOL. He NEVER puts anything back where it belongs. SMH
Dang, you know when I saw that table I felt like I saw "toys r us" for the first time. You're definitely a huge credit to all of us. Thanks for all you do.
You certainly have made a lot of grills. You should see if Coleman or some other company is interested. You just need to speak to the RIGHT person there. You never know, sometimes if you don't ask you don't get. Nothing ventured nothing gained as you do have a fair bit of knowledge regarding grills ect. ect. . Congrats on the 100K subs. Always love your vids. Thanks for you efforts, enthusiasm and passing on your knowledge and thanks to your mentors and good 'ol red. Through you their knowledge is being passed down. Thanks Dave. ATB from the UK.
I'm kinda shocked that after eight years in TH-cam I've never been approached about developing anything. I guess you're right. I have to go to the right person. Thanks for watching Matt
I haven't started the video yet. I know that you won't be showing me anything I haven't seen already (I've been a sub for...many years now) but... I'm looking forward to seeing these things. It will my pleasure to see your ingenuity and creativity on display.
Wow... so much awesome stuff and so little time. Lol... you have some great stuff and I know there went a lot of thought and ingenuity into some of it.
YES Defiantly you need to make a factory and get you some workers and become a millionaire, you have got the mind for it and we campers need gear made in the USA by the man from USA, you are a great american, Thank you for some great ideas !!!
Now that would be cool, Made in America camp gear! Thanks for watching Steven!
U have made some really neat stuff ty for sharing it all with us
The Rival Cake and Bake was really cool to see! I love it when people really take care of something and keep the original directions and/or packaging.
Thanks! I try my best to take care of gear and equipment
Your equipment is not so much 'home made' as they are 'handcrafted' and individually designed. Thanks for showing us your journey through making things 'everyone needs' and things 'few of us would have imagined!' The 'industrial engineering' on some of these tools is magnificent! I would guess that many of your designs with legs and metal pans are designed to get the fire out of the cold and the damp (oh...you just said that in the video as I was typing.)

Thanks James! I'm glad you liked all the gear. Yep, a lot of my set ups are aimed at keeping the fire off the ground and out of the mud or snow. Way more radical set ups to come in part two!
Thanks from me too for being so fast to respond to our request. Excellent videos as always, we sure enjoy them.
Agreed
Thanks for the in-depth look at your great inventions. The best thing is that this is only part one.
You are very welcome and I'm glad you liked it. Part two is full of the really wild gear! Thanks for watching
Cooking stuff, sleeping stuff, sitting stuff .... A lifetime of thanks for all the "stuff" you show us
LOL, I have all that and probably a lot more to invent and create! Thanks for watching Dr. Ron
Dave, you are something else. That is a lot of clever ideas. You, going over all this stuff, is like memory lane walking back through all your videos. You need to be an inventor. Thanks for sharing
Thanks Monica! Funny thing, as I went through this stuff and the stuff for part two, not only did it trigger memories but it showed me how much Ive improved the way I build things. In part two theres two cook sets I showed and in my mind I was thinking "Why did I do it that way"? LOL.
That hanging coffee pot ring with attachable fire pan could have only been invented by a diehard coffee fanatic like you! Genius!👏👍❤🌅🌵
Lol, how true! I gotta have coffee no matter where I go, even if it's in a swamp!
Hello David, I like ow you show your gear and the way you "teach" or "mentor": WHY you did it and HOW, the sucesses and mistakes. And yes: go out and enjoy the outdoors. Greetings from Bavaria, Michael
Hello Michael and thank you!
Nice to see all your neat cooking gear again Dave, that were in your videos. Congratulations on your 100K subscribers also!
You deserve it brother, the best channel out there. Thanks again for all you do.
Thanks Jeff, I'm glad you liked it all. Man 100,000 blew me away! Thanks for watching
David Pearson...or as I like to call him " The Bushcraft MacGyver " ...lol .... Love ya brother, keep up the great work 👍
Thanks!
Dave, you are the freaken wizard of wicked homemade cookware! 👍👍
Looking forward to part two.
Thanks brother!
I just got done making myself an egg and cheese sandwich since you made me hungry. Now I am watching this video, you sure are knowledgeable. I never seen those sticks. I grew up in the country city. Didn't learn much. But, when I grew up I moved to the rural country hour to town. But, ended up back in city. Going to move back to the sticks. I had an idea to dig a hole and put a grate down in there with a turkey, covered it left air holes, and smoked it in the ground over night. That was so good! I imagine if you was in the swamp you couldn't so these tree hanging ideas are great. Or to save your back from bending over to cook. I can't believe all you fit in a video. So much learning.
LOL, A lot of my Chef Daves videos make folks hungry. I have that effect on people. A lot of these ideas do stem from swamps and wetlands but yes, they are also back savers. I have double this amount to show in part two! Thanks for watching Angela.
Genius. All of it. Patent as many as you can b4 somebody steals your ideas.
Very interesting to watch.
Moving camera around was a pain but what you presented to us was very valuable.
Now on to part 2, thank you.
Thank you Susie!
Lately I've been having so much fun in the woods, I haven't had time to keep up with the latest and greatest youtube videos....then I see this two part series you did in my sub list, and realize I am about to dedicate hours of my life to them. AWESOME! It'll take me awhile to watch, but I'll enjoy every minute. Thanks for sharing, keep up the good work!
Sounds good you've been in the woods, sounds great youre gonna watch both vids! Take care brother and thanks for watching!
Thank you so much for taking the time to share your techniques, tools and tool making wisdom.
You are very welcome and I'm glad you liked it!
You are truly the Dr. Suess of camp cooking. That is meant as a sincere compliment. Heaps of ideas & ingenuity. Looking forward to watching part two of your outdoor cooking gadgets.
Lol, I never thought about it that way but thanks!
David your stuff is awesome iam out enjoying life been on long trip to southern Colorado Enjoyed part 1 look forward for part 2 Thanks You call it home made you have unique skills to build the things you think of And yes you should market some of your ideas Their are folks that don't have the skills to do the things you can Thanks for sharing some of the ideas your mentors shared with you Iam going to make Reds Rings They can be used in many ways I would have watched a 2hr video Your ideas are craft more than home made And again THAK YOU for sharing all you put in your videos You have help many of us better enjoy the outdoors
Thanks David! Part two will be even longer than this one! Very cool you're gonna make reds rings. There's a lot of history behind them. Enjoy the rest of the trip and thanks for watching
You definitely put out some of the best videos on camping and bushcraft ideas on TH-cam. Keep them coming.
Thank you Jay!
It's always a pleasure to learn these neat ideas for making modified gear.
Excellent video. 👍👍😎
Always great to hear that Kelly and I'm glad you liked it. Thanks for watching.
Awesome video little brother. I made me a couple of your 2 piece dimple and straight pot stands a couple of years ago. I liked the idea of having the upright poke up so things wouldn't slide off. I made mine out of scrap pieces of cattle panels so all I had to do was cut them to size and then make the dimples. I made two to take on an overnight paddle with my sister and brother in law on the elk river. They really took up no room in the kayak. We were pooped by the time we could put in to a place where we could pitch camp on the bank. I popped those two sets in the ground and put a grill across them and used a little bit of ground magnesium and a little bit of ground up fat wood and my ferro cerium rod and had chicken and dumplings so fast you wouldn't believe it. It worked great! Thanks for that idea brother.
Thanks Sis! I'm happy you liked it. That's so cool you made some of those stands! The dumplings and kayak trip sounded great! Take care and thanks for watching
You're such a smart man and also a very organized man in your man cave. You have such an inventive mind. Always creating. Like I said before you have enough for the neighborhood, or your grandchildren and their friends if the dog do hits the fan. Thanks for sharing your talent and knowledge as always it helps someone out there.
You know me well! Hopefully the dog will never hit the fan and my gear will be for fun! Thanks for watching!
You never are boring. I have seen quite a few of your cooking pieces. Good vid my friend.
Great to hear and I'm happy you liked it all!
Hi Dave, a great vid. The years fell away as you showed these cook kits again. I enjoyed them first time around , happy memories hey?
Thank you.
Thanks! I'm happy you liked the. Oh yes, lots of memories were brought back! Even double for part two!
Imagine that, David; 100 thousand people are following your videos! Congratulations! Every one of these solutions are great ideas for cooking in the bush. Great work and God bless. Doc Tom
It's hard to believe but a good feeling! I'm happy you liked it, thanks for watching Doc
Four of them are me. Every time I get a new phone I get a new account, because stupid me forget my passwords..
When and if you retire these systems needs to go into the ReallyBigMonkey1 museum...think about it. I remember almost all of the cook kits very cool. Looking forward to Part 2. Take care.
LOL, now that would be a cool place! Thanks for watching and see y'all in part two
Well done! In the medical world, these would be called "evidence-based devices" - you sense a need, design, create, experiment, and evaluate. Very cool to see how you have been able to realize your designs and so willing to share your results....and enjoy what you do. Refreshing...
Thanks Karen! I really like how you put it. I've just always looked at it like "If I can dream it, I wanna build it" Thanks for the comments and thanks for watching
WOW just WOW !! you need to have a sale -Let us all bid on the items . Blessings
Thanks, I'm glad you liked it all. If I had multiple items I would sell some. Most of it is either one of a kind or just two of something.
I just found your videos and am really enjoying them. It's my day off, cold and rainy so I'm thinking Ima gonna binge watch for a while. Your ideas are unique in that they are creative and based in practicality. I love that. Your sense of humor and relaxed down to earth nature are very refreshing. And that accent makes me think you may be from my neck of the woods. If I was 10 years younger, you'd be in trouble!
But seriously, I became a prepper by accident about 20 years ago when I got snowed/iced in for 4 weeks and 3 days. I had just moved, lived on a mountain, and no one could get to me. Just a woman by herself with two dogs. Fortunately I've always had a practical streak and had just "stocked up" on some things for the winter. That was what we called it back then before the term "prepping" had been coined (and horribly over used). Anyway, over the years I have honed my practicality and really enjoy the tinkering and creative, resourceful side of prepping.
I haven't searched yet to see if you're still making videos, but I hope so. I am learning a lot, and at the risk of repeating myself really enjoy them. You have a lot to offer, so keep on keeping on!
Thanks Debra and I'm happy you like the videos! I believe I'm over 200 videos now and they all have the same basis. Homemade cheap out of the box thinking! Also cool th hear about your prior experiences with being prepared. Oh, I'm from Northwest Georgia. Take care and thanks for watching!
Love your „hanging coffee“ most of all incredible ideas 😆
Thank you Anne!
I enjoyed this video. Very inventive. God bless you..
Thanks Carol-Ann, I'm glad you liked it. Thanks for watching and may God bless you too!
Thank You, for the good Information. As a former «boy-scout», it’s a Great Idea, to get «outside», again. Thank You, for the Video, sir. My best Greetings, from Norway! 😀👍
You are very welcome my friend and I'm glad you liked it!
I have to say, I still love those little green plastic sliding rope hooks and the wooden ovals are cool too. I was thinking a piece of thick wire bent around one side and that crosses or swivels in front (Like a belt buckle) of the hole would act as a built in toggle. Seems to me you could actually take a camping trip, maybe by bike or kayak, and setup a camp using the small devices and gadgets. They're small, lightweight and great time savers such as the "Tripod Disk" that only requires three poles to setup. In combination with your covered bungee cords a person could go minimal, but setup a good camp in short time with minimal labor.
Thanks! I'm glad you like my inventions! I've used this stuff in all kinds of different ways. Often times they do make things easier. Thanks for watching!
So now you know... Next time you do a video, only one table full of gear per video. . . Thanks for showing all the great, innovative home made gear that you've made over the years. I especially appreciate the disks that you show the alternatives to welding in wood. Thank you. ❤🌅🌵
I honestly thought it would all fit in one video! Part two should be over an hour long after editing. I try to make stuff out of wood any time it's possible so others can copy the gear.
🌺🌺hell yeah , YOU BROUGHT OUT THE EASY BREAD AND CAKEBAKE !WOOOHOO! I GOT THAT ONE!!🌺🌺
LOL, man that's an incredible piece of gear to have!
Sitting at the truck stop watching one of my favorite TH-camrs hope you got you leaks taken care of Dave. One thing I love about your channel is you keep it real.
Yep, no more leaks! The gear room is dry always and Im loving it! Thanks for watching Barta
I love your swamp coffee pot cooker and the fact that those same materials are multi use for other grills. Need to make myself one of those.
Thanks, I'm glad you liked it. A lot of this gear can be multi use
You are truly blessed to have all your skills and you mentioned your mentor Red I feel like you know how to give credit where it's do! Another word comes to mind and this is RESPECT and honoring those folks who have been a person who taught you how to make very special tools for the great outdoors! You have some really creative ideas and skills! I use to watch videos on brush crafts but I lost interest but after watching this video I'd like to try get into with a mentor because my husband did these things and then I would do the cooking and baking and grilled meals but with heavy cast iron skillets! But I have tendinitis in both my arms and I can no longer a lift those heavy things like I did before. But with the stuff you show it would make it easier on my life! Thank you for all the different ideas on hanging methods with some creative tools! I really perked up when you showed the Ravel bakers items which I love baking bread 🍞 of any types and fruit dishes like mixed berries with apples 🍏! I hope your next video comes out soon sir.👍👍👍🙏
Oh very blessed to have had mentors! Now Red was actually my mentors mentor. If that makes sense? Kinda like my Grandfather of bushcraft. LOL. Without them I may not have ever gone into the woods or gone camping at all. That Rival cake n bake is one incredible device! They the lid vents just right for anything that needs baking. Thanks for watching
As usual Dave , your " little world " of inventions is mind bogeling ! Super job. Many of these things I have seen before but it makes a big impression when seen all at once. Atb my friend Paul
Thanks Paul. Making this video brought back a lot of memories for me too. Double the memories during filming part two!
Watching this at 0030 here in the UK, I was thinking that a first class outdoor chef needs first class equipment. Looking forward to part 2.
Be well & stay safe. Dave.
Yep, if youre gonna cook, ya gotta have gear for it! Thanks for watching and I'll see ya in part two Dave!
100,000 subs, you truly deserve it Dave. Love your grill designs, as I only discovered your channel late last year most of this is fresh in my mind. Hope to see chef Dave back in the woods , when you find the time of course. Thanks for the great vids, here's to the next 100k :-)
Thanks Mike and I'm glad you like what all I do. Man I have a huge list of video ideas to film and half of them are cooking videos! Chef Dave shall strike again as soon as possible! Thanks for watching
Thank you. I have learned a ton from this video. I m not a regular camper...but love nature and the outdoors.
You explained very well and sounded like you were speakin as a frirnd🏡
Thank you Helen! I'm happy you liked it that much!
Dave, since the first time I saw one of your videos, I knew you were smart and inventive, but this video shows you to be GENIUS! Rube Goldberg could learn a thing or two from you! Thank you for these great ideas. Now, I'm headed into Part Two to learn more! Oh, I second the motion of going into business!
Thank you Jerry! Man I have no idea how a business would go with this stuff. It seems like theres already a lot selling outdoor gear and more and more getting into it every day!
I think you are genius David! Thank you for sharing this with us.
Thank you my friend and I'm always happy to share!
Being a machinist has its perks, ay? Definitely you are an inventor as well. Thanks for sharing. Good stuff!
Oh yes, being a machinist just means you can make pretty much anything you want!
I’ve just found your channel today I’m only 15 minutes into this video I subscribed pretty much straight away, but wow you have such imagination and talent for all of you camping, cooking equipment. I am in awe!
Thank you for the sub and I'm glad you like my channel! I have plenty more videos just like this one. Thanks for watching
Watching the section with the twist disc reminded me of something I saw a long time ago that might be handy at camp.
I once saw a camp chair that was made with a twist disc. I hope it’s not confusing but you need shorter legs for the tripod then extend the sticks farther through the top of of the twist disc maybe 6 to 8 inches past the top of the twist disc. Then you need to sow a triangle piece of heavy duty fabric that has a pocket sown into every corner. The fabric slides over the sticks that are sticking up over the twist disc. The whole thing locks in and it makes for a pretty comfy chair with minimal equipment or just another use for your twist disc.
Just make sure the twist disc is sturdy enough to handle your weight.
Sounds good! And after you described it, I think I saw something similar to that on Pinterest.
Wow! You are so creative! I have thoroughly enjoyed seeing all your inventions!
Thank you Katie! I'm glad you like them!
Here is an idea for your bag closure. Get an old discarded refrigerator gasket and remove the magnet. Stitch it into the top of your bag and boom! Automatic magnetic closing bag. I just thought of that. It's worth a try I think. Best wishes from the Caribbean.
That is a cool idea!
It seems to me like some of your gear could be produced and sold. Your innovation is inspiring.
It probably could and hopefully will one day. Thanks for watching David
Extremely impressed brother! You take the cake for different Bushware my friend!...Great Video this! Top stuff! - Now onto part two... Cheers Dave, Take care.
Thank you Skorp! I'm glad you liked all my gear!
First off congrats on 100K good spread on the cooking kits. I have seen you use many of these items in lots of your videos. You have some great ideas
Thanks! Man 100,000 just blew me away! Thanks for watching brother
Gear room! Pal you got enough to kit a platoon😁 great to see you again buddy love your ideas and I’m still watching. A big hello from England 👍👍
LOL, I do have a little collected! I'm glad you liked it. Thanks for watching and a big hello from Georgia!
a platoon more like a battlion
I love how innovative you are!!!
Thanks Millie! Im always dreaming up things to make.
Good to see you back! I check almost every day to see if you've added another video and assume you must be working more hours once again... Thanks for the excellent video and seeing your inventions and how and why they were designed the way you did. Keep up the excellent work and know we're looking forward to Part 2!!!
Great to be on here and great to hear you check back often! Yes, I'm still working all kinds of hours. Someday it will slow down? Thanks for watching my friend
Thanks for posting this. There's some brilliant stuff in here... although a few things have left me scratching my head, like the 'ring around the suspended coffee pot'!
Thanks, I'm glad you liked it. Somewhere in one of my older videos I show how that ring holds a fire pan under the coffee pot.
Congratulations on 100 k happy to be one. My favorite is reds rings what a way to pay homage to their memory. Happy videoing, see in the next one.
Thanks Jesse! It would be more like my other gear for them rings to be stainless and paracord but it gives me a good feeling to pay homage to Red by keeping em wood and leather. Thanks for watching and see ya in the next one Jesse
Hey Dave,

Thanks Michelle! I'm happy you liked it and I'll see ya in part two
5:10 Brilliant as always. LOL sorry I had to say that before I even got beyond the 5 minute mark of the video. Almost everything I have seen in your videos that is home made are brilliant and I still think you need to patent and market most of your ideas.
Thanks! You're right, I do need to do something with these ideas. Thanks for watching!
Another good one David. A lot of time at Goodwill. A lot of time thinking and a lot of time on the welding table.
Thanks, I'm glad you liked it. Oh yes, lots of time spent at Goodwill! Thanks for watching
Dave I’ll say it again you are an out of the box thinking Genius Bro”that coffee pot hanger&a couple others are Amazing! Your gear rooms better then allot of sports shops iv seen good to see ya back

Oh hey wanted to let ya know I realy injoy that mini Duku it’s Awsome thanx for showing your machetes Bro it does everything I hoped it would 🤝
Awesome collection of cooking gear. I like the modified stuff and pouches to keep it all together. Great video!
Thanks Michael! I'm glad you liked the gear and the video!
Clearly you are obsessed with creating the perfect gear. It's fascinating to watch. Thanks for sharing, and I'll be looking forward to part 2.
Ah, maybe not the perfect gear. Just specialized gear for a certain environment. And I like making stuff. Lol. Thanks for watching and see ya in part two
Nice to see ya back! Great video. You have quite the creative mind. I really like the stainless tripod rings. They are awesome. Reds rings are ingenious as well. Looking forward to Part 2.
Always good to be on here and I'm happy you liked it all. Thanks for watching and see ya in the next one Wayne!
Teriffic video. So many good ideas. Can't wait for part 2. Cheers from Down Under 👍
Thanks Marshall, I'm glad you liked it. Thanks for watching
Man...I need to learn to weld now! Your whole basement is a work of art brother!
Absolutely brother! The gear you can make with welding is limitless!
Awesome video, with good ideas! Good too see folks making, thier own gear!
Thanks! I'm happy you liked it. Making gear is half the fun to me!
Reallybigmonkey1 For me too. 👍🏼
Like the wing extension idea on the last grill setup, can't wait for part 2
Thanks Jeff, I'm happy you liked it
those home made skewers in green plastic box can be used for harpooning fish in shallow waters, as well, great job!
Yes they can! Tie em to a spear and catch dinner
I remember watching your videos when you first started posting. It's neat to watch all of your creations! I say do with what you got! You have done in awesome job and lots of creativity on your projects!
Thanks Laurie, I'm glad you liked it and what all I do. Creating stuff is my strong point! Thanks for watching
you are a genius. we love you cooking systems. now we need some more cooking videos. been watching for the 100 k. good job. we also love the fact that your video content is suitable for the family.
Thanks Brianna! I have a huge list of videos to film and half of them are cooking vids! My vids will always be family friendly. Kids need to see and do outdoor adventures like these.
First vid I see of you, what a genuinely nice person you are! I'ld love to hang around you and your creative mind. Great gear my dear!
Fantastic to hear that my friend! I'm glad you liked the video and me!
Congrats on 100k my friend!!!! You deserve it. Keep up the great work!
Thank you my friend!
Great stuff. Love that man room. Like to see you organize your fishing gear room!
Thanks Greg! Man when I get time I will. I would love for it to be nicer than the gear room!
Dave, those wood (& metal) tripod discs are a great tool. They save am incredible amount of time. Also saving tons of cordage for other uses. Hint; taper gouge out the wooden discs holes in one direction on one side, the opposite direction on the obverse side. This way each wooden leg lays in it's proper direction & angle with better support. You could probably sell your metal version to Self-reliance for their store. Dave C. definitely appreciates hand made tools. Patent that tool!
@@techmarc6996 Dutchware is already making a version of one of my tripod discs
I commented on the last video you made featuring the Rival...and I said that I found a complete set with instructions at my local thrift store. 2 bucks my friend. Never knew what I had until I watched your video. I officially have a “little gem”.
Oh yes you do! That little get makes perfect cakes bread and super size muffins!
I love all the home made gear Thanks Dave
Thanks Eric! I'm happy you liked it all
Man you have such an amazing mind. The stuff you have created and the way you look at situations, is just WOW! I will be keeping my eyes open wide when I make it to the flea market next time. Seriously.
Thanks Tressa! Yep, gotta look at all situations and environments and find a useable solution. Often times it's odd looking! Thanks for watching my friend
I just love your prolific mind and creativity! My main fave device in this video is your "Hanging Fire" grill with the swamp coffee pot, for when there is no dry ground to support a cookfire. Red's rings are great too. So are your Fish Bottle Hangers, and the Tripod Twister. You truly add so much to the fields of Bushcraft and Campcraft and positive-focussed Survival with all your neat ideas :-)! Thank you for putting in all the time and effort to build these things and share them with us! You and your Channel are both much appreciated :-).
Thanks! I'm glad you like my ideas, videos and channel! Thanks for watching my friend
Great video !! Love to see all your creativity !! Can’t wait for part 2 !! I know you have a ton of gear but I hope you continue to invent new items.
Thanks! I'm happy you liked it Pam. Oh I'm sure as time goes on I'll be making more. I'm playing with an idea now for a super size grill!
I have 1 of both,they are cool.I have fun making muffins or corn bread.thanks all your videos!!!.
Great to hear that Gary!
The “Tripod Pan Cooker”/hanging coffee pot setup is the coolest piece of gear I’ve ever seen. I would’ve never thought of it, and I’ve been in situations, like you described, where it would have been extremely useful. Very very cool!
I'm glad you liked it! It's definitely a one of a kind setup
Hey you made it to 100k! Congratulations on your play button! Well deserved! Amazing amount of creativity in this video!
Thanks! I was shocked and happy to have hit 100'000! Thanks for watching
Hello Dave nice to see you again. I hope you are well. I thought I had a lot of gear but man Im just a beginner compared to that collection. I showed it to my wife because she thinks I have too much gear ….. I wont repeat what she said!! I look forward to getting one or two new items …. take care brother and keep on inventing! atb Jim
Hello Jim! All is well here. Just busy busy busy. I'm guessing the wife is allowing you a lot more gear after seeing how much junk I've collected. Lol. Take care and thanks for watching!
Great homemade camp cooking gear Dave thanks for sharing. Looking forward to part 2.
Thanks, I'm glad you liked it. Thanks for watching and see ya in part two Jesse!
Your welcome
Awesome...Genius... Innovative...Brilliant... Etc....your truly talented and gifted. Love to see the stuff you come up with. See ya in part 2
Thanks, I'm glad you liked it all Roger! Thanks for watching
Genius . Lots of neat home made gear very cool .
Thanks, I'm glad you liked it Todd
Your kit room looks like an army surplus store I love it 👍
Lol, it does! Thanks for watching Michael!
Loved this reminiscing video! I think I've watched all ur old vids demonstrating these after u made them!
I never seen that big Rival Crock n Bake thing! What a novelty!! I'll keep my eye out for that one, I got 2 of the smaller ones.
Been trying to find that old ice bucket too... not yet tho!
Thx Dave! This is a good one, I enjoyed it! Can't wait for part 2!!!
Thanks! I'm happy you liked it. It brought back a lot of good memories for me too. Especially filming part two! That newer size cake n bake was a shock to me but I'm happy to have it! Thanks for watching and see ya in part two
Always interesting to see someone's creations.
Thanks for watching Todd
I missed you , been watching for a new video . I love your Dutch oven but that tripod cooker and the coffee pot is pure genius !
Im still here! Just not very often. I'm glad you liked it. Thanks for watching Pam
Great Video I remember watching when you use the Swiss Army Volcano Stove. I got one gave to me from a friend that work at a Army Suplus. I also remember when you made cornbread in the Rival Cake and Bake Pan.
Thanks brother, I'm glad you liked it. That swiss volcano stove is still fun to use. I've done a few more things with the cake n bake but not on video. O never like to show an item too much. Thanks for watching
I've seen videos where you cut metal measuring tapes and put into the edge of those bags. Then you can open them and they stay open until you snap them shut! Pretty cool!
That is a good idea Cindy! Tape measure are made out of spring steel
Not my idea. I thought it was pretty cool and if if my husband could find all of the tape measures he's misplaced over the years, we could supply them for who knows how many bags! LOL. He NEVER puts anything back where it belongs. SMH
LOL, I lose stuff like that too
Dang, you know when I saw that table I felt like I saw "toys r us" for the first time. You're definitely a huge credit to all of us. Thanks for all you do.
LOL! I guess this stuff is exactly like Toys R us for outdoors enthusiasts. I'm glad you liked it all, Thanks for watching
Wow! I love your ideas and your gear room!!
Thanks, I'm glad you liked it and how I do things!
You certainly have made a lot of grills. You should see if Coleman or some other company is interested. You just need to speak to the RIGHT person there. You never know, sometimes if you don't ask you don't get. Nothing ventured nothing gained as you do have a fair bit of knowledge regarding grills ect. ect. . Congrats on the 100K subs. Always love your vids. Thanks for you efforts, enthusiasm and passing on your knowledge and thanks to your mentors and good 'ol red. Through you their knowledge is being passed down. Thanks Dave. ATB from the UK.
Not Coleman... There stuff in Chinese junk now
I'm kinda shocked that after eight years in TH-cam I've never been approached about developing anything. I guess you're right. I have to go to the right person. Thanks for watching Matt
Your gear room makes me feel like a kid in a candy store! Also, I LOVE the plastic banding in the grill bag!
Oh and the triangle grill from the Creole Tilapia recipe
Thanks! I'm glad you liked it a all!
That is a pretty cool grill
I haven't started the video yet. I know that you won't be showing me anything I haven't seen already (I've been a sub for...many years now) but... I'm looking forward to seeing these things. It will my pleasure to see your ingenuity and creativity on display.
I hope you enjoy it!
Wow... so much awesome stuff and so little time. Lol... you have some great stuff and I know there went a lot of thought and ingenuity into some of it.
Thanks Tom! I'm happy you liked it all. Yep, lots thoughts and experimenting went into it all. Thanks for watching brother
