Thank you for your support and views. This product has been in development for Almost 2 years, very well known to those who have been around me or those who watch my channel. The Prototype has been tested for a year just to be sure as production was arranged. This is without doubt the best Camp Skillet on the market today and it guaranteed for life. Again Thank you for your support
Dave a tip I learned years ago about how to keep my camp skillet in good shape between hunting seasons. Just before I put it away at the end of the season, I melt a little chunk of bees wax in it. And wipe out the excess while it’s hot. Won’t go rancid and is won’t hurt ya to cook in it the next time you’re ready. I haven’t bought this skillet yet but I sure plan to. Thank you for all the great info and gear you have supplied us with over the years. God bless.
Love the pan. People are sleeping on carbon steel. I love it more than cast iron. Dave consider adding a carbon steel wok. You can use it to fry and boil soups and water. Add a lid smaller than the wok and you can add coals on top and cook like a light weight dutch oven. One of the most flexible pieces of cookware.
Bacon and eggs in the bush is a most beautiful thing. I used to take a fixed handle 6 inch skillet. It had two drawbacks, it was too small and it was plain steel. Awesome piece of kit Dave, acing it buddy 💜👍
These tools won't fight me = Mind blown 🤯 The bail hooks on the spatula and tongs first cought me with surprise; then, I realized that the empty skillet was not flipping over and off the fire due to the weight of the handle not being more than the weight of the skillet bottom. I like to cook with the boy scout type mess kits; however, I won't even attach the skillet handles anymore due to the handle weight flipping over the whole skillet and it's contents too many times. I have arthritis and 'twitching' in my hands and all too often i can't make them do what I want when I need them to; i can't grasp, release, and stabilize my current kit like I used to. This looks like it would help simplify some of my dexterity problems. Plus the hardened steel is a great material too. 🥓🍳❤️
My summers always seem to be filled with backpack meals and trail snacks, fall and hunting season makes me want to cook and enjoy some hearty meals by the fire…all in perfect time for you and Black Hats cookin vids to inspire, Thanks 🤙
Thanks for the tips, Dave. I did not know the Carbon steel skillets don't have to be seasoned. I've never used one before. Definitely want to get one. 👍🍳
I was wrong about my previous comment, I will probably buy one. I’m a minimalist who lives with friends and also stays in my vehicle part time. So having the time to season is rather time consuming for me. I’d rather use coconut oil than lard. Thanks Dave! 👍👍😁🇺🇸
Ok Dave….I give up! Where do I sign up? One more SRO box shows up on my porch and I’m sleeping at YOUR place Dave!! I’m already sneaking the boxes out to my wood shop before they are noticed! … insert James Bond music!🎵 LOL!! 😂.
Dave, I post a video years ago about how freaking hard Nitriting Steel on an AK milled receiver was. That shit is super hard to drill. It was making cobalt bits flex and wander all over the surface of the steel.
Lovin' it! Now, if you could produce an Aussi Bedouri-style case-hardened carbon steel camp oven with folding handle for the lid/frying pan. I bet that would be a winner (and you could cook a whole chicken dinner in it, too)! If you want to collaborate, let me know.
Is there a official date for the spatula and tongs? That spatula look like the one dave used to make gravy at the class I took. Thing made gravy like a dream.
I'm pro carbon steel and I use that and cast iton almost exclusively at home and in the field. ? What happens if I forget to lock that handle? Nice work!
Great video. The pan looks great but do I want to get rid of my old Pathfinder Skillet? Life is complicated. NOTE: If the pan is to be stored long term do not use lard. Lard will go rancid after time. Probably olive oil or something similar would be better.
Damnation The seasoning thing again 😂 Folks, "seasoning " is in the pores of the ferrous metal. It can't be scraped off like a coat of paint. Only burned on gunk will scrape away. My granny and many ancestors before me used cast iron cooking vessels, and they only had metal utensils. No exotic foreign hardwood utensils, or special oils Just steel and iron and lard. Like Dave C said in the cooking irons video about skillets, " just use the dang thing " Use it and enjoy it
I use Scotch Brite pads & boiling hot water. I also use rubbing alcohol as a final sterilant. I rinse the scrub pad in the hot water before storage. I use a small spray bottle to evenly disperse the alcohol. You can also cut half sheets of paper towels in half to make quarter sheets, place those in a quart freezer bag (freezer bags are more durable) & lighly saturate with alcohol for personal wipes. I use them after I deficate to clean up. I've had very little reaction, sometimes they burn a little, but it gets me clean. You can use the alcohol to bath with also. They work on your head well if your hair is short. Alcohol leaves es no residue & evaporates quick. I live out of my vehicle & have no place to bath. This alcohol trick works really well. Use the alcohol with cheap paper towels & you won't have a filthy rag floating around in your pack. You can packs of these before hand. You can also find recipes to brew your own rubbing alcohol. Good prepper stuff to know.
DC, I have ordered this, looking forward to using! I got an off the wall question, is it possible or feasible to make a canteen cup out of this same material, would be an excellent cooking tool!.....JMO
Love the skillet, but have a question. This is basically one person cooking. Would you consider making the Pathfinder 12" Carbon Steel Family Skillet w/ a Lid? If you are cooking for more than one, if you like using your skillet in the kitchen to cook four burgers or two big cube steaks, a compliment of two eggs and sausage side by side, it would be wonderful. It would be well worth the extra half a pound to have a larger size skillet. I have my mother's and grandmother's cast iron from 8"-12" and a huge Grandma skillet I call the perfect biscuit cooker that weighs a ton. The most used, almost always and favorite size, is the 12". Thank you for this cooking lesson on eggs!
Chinese restaurant chefs have always cook with metal ladle or spatula on their carbon steel wok and no issues. I believe its all about not having cold cooking equipment and ingredients
Room temperature eggs...nothing better than looking on the counter for eggs, and damn it no eggs. Walk out to the coop and ahhhh fresh eggs...still warm! 🤣🤣🤣 (Edit) Eggs don't have to look good....dear god I had an Army flashback to seeing those gray/green scrambled eggs they'd bring us for chow...and yeah we dumped Texas Pete on them ate the hell out of them! I have several vintage Cold Handle skillets in two sizes, and the SRO stainless which I love but DAMN IT now I need this one!
I was lucky, dropped onto the first promo for this pan as commenter #1 Bad news for me is I’m in Europe thus delivery is 1.5 times the cost of the pan Good news is I ordered it anyway. At the price and use, it’s worth it anyway and I’m a chef so will use it in my own home kitchen anyway not just outdoors From what I’ve seen and being used to carbon steel pans anyway, this looks bloody cheap if you are in the US.
I hope I score a couple of these tomorrow. Does anyone know where to get the spoon with the metal rings for adding a stick as a handle? I’ve looked and simply have no idea.
Will this carbon steel be more scratch resistant than the stainless? Seems like the 8 & 10 inch from SRO as well as a couple of expensive pots I got (getting away from Teflon) have a soft surface that scratches easy. Seems to be a characteristic of that type of stainless used on cookware.
I'm confused, previous video you said a case hardened skillet will build seasoning faster and better. But after a year your skillet has no seasoning at all? 🤔
Allow me to educate you then, if you choose to season it you can and it will be faster as case hardened steel is less porous, however because its case hardened there is no need and I scrub mine to the metal in the house all the time after cooking and just wipe it out in the woods. Scrubbing it all the time with soap or abrasives doesn’t allow an actual seasoning to form as it is known. But all skillets will season some over time as the pours fill with grease if they are not scrubbed to the bare metal
I have never used carbon steel for cooking, I usually cook a steak with high heat on my cast iron skillet. Can the carbon steel handle high heat like cast iron? I would hate to try using the carbon steel skillet and ruin it just for searing a steak on high heat.
Doctor: Your cholesterol levels have gone up astronomically. Did you add anything new to your diet? Me: No, I went camping for two weeks and bought the new skillet from Mr. Canterbury. Otherwise, I don’t see anything new. Doctor: Phenomenal Me: oh, you bought the skillet too ?

Shape the spatula to the pan, or atleast one side of it. 1 square/straight, 1 rounded edge.
Love the pan. People are sleeping on carbon steel. I love it more than cast iron.
Dave consider adding a carbon steel wok. You can use it to fry and boil soups and water. Add a lid smaller than the wok and you can add coals on top and cook like a light weight dutch oven. One of the most flexible pieces of cookware.
But wait! There’s more! Seriously, I need one of these!
Just take my money
Bacon and eggs in the bush is a most beautiful thing.
I used to take a fixed handle 6 inch skillet. It had two drawbacks, it was too small and it was plain steel.
Awesome piece of kit Dave, acing it buddy 💜👍
We will get one soon Dave, great product. Nothing better than having fun and cooking tasty food outdoors.
These tools won't fight me = Mind blown 🤯

Nice touch on the utensil hooks!
Thanks Dave
I cannot wait for this Dave! Probably buying two to go along with my dual burner Nature Hike stove I just bought!
Dang, that cleans up as easy as non stick , Nice 👍
Thanks for the tips, Dave. I did not know the Carbon steel skillets don't have to be seasoned. I've never used one before. Definitely want to get one. 👍🍳
This is one of the only pieces of cookware ive been eager to get
Looks like a winner. Ya done good Dave !
Love cooking over keyhole fires.
Dave thanks for sharing your knowledge it's been a big help good job brother
Excellent
I'm looking forward to getting one!
Dave, are you coming out with a lid also for the pan??
I really hope you decide to make the scout/army style skillet set and do the nitrogen hardening on them as well.
They all look great.
I was wrong about my previous comment, I will probably buy one. I’m a minimalist who lives with friends and also stays in my vehicle part time. So having the time to season is rather time consuming for me. I’d rather use coconut oil than lard. Thanks Dave! 👍👍😁🇺🇸
Thanks brother Dave, that is a well thought out piece of gear!!/G\
I never heard Mr Canterbury WHISTLING of satisfaction for his new product 😂!
Great video brother!
Yes Sir ! 👍👍👍
Can’t wait to get one
This is seriously a sweet skillet. You won’t be disappointed if you purchase it.
This pan looks awsome .
Ok Dave….I give up! Where do I sign up?
One more SRO box shows up on my porch and I’m sleeping at YOUR place Dave!!
I’m already sneaking the boxes out to my wood shop before they are noticed! … insert James Bond music!🎵
LOL!! 😂.
I pre-ordered! Can't wait to get this, thanks Dave!
Christmas can't come soon enough! Looking forward to getting my Pathfinder carbon steel skillet.
I wish I could meet this guy! Love his videos. Educational for sure 👍
Dave, ty…the proof is in the cooking, great looking pan
is there plans for a lid for it? And how is it different than the stainless steel skillet?
We ship o areas daily
Cheers from Australia.
Ordered one with the bag awesome looking product! Can’t wait.
I need this!
The only thing that I don’t like about my cold handle skillet is the handle. You solved that!
When they come out
Tomorrow at 1pm EST thank you for your interest
Excelente! 👍
Why not fry cold eggs?
They will almost alway stick to a skillet
Will surely be order one. Any plans on offering a lid for this?
Can't wait to get me one that will be grate to have on my hunting trips
That shocel looks amazing 😮
Dave, I post a video years ago about how freaking hard Nitriting Steel on an AK milled receiver was. That shit is super hard to drill. It was making cobalt bits flex and wander all over the surface of the steel.
Now I am hungry😊
Dave is the king
At 8:03 you are using a shovel. What type is is and do you sell it at your online site?
Lovin' it! Now, if you could produce an Aussi Bedouri-style case-hardened carbon steel camp oven with folding handle for the lid/frying pan. I bet that would be a winner (and you could cook a whole chicken dinner in it, too)! If you want to collaborate, let me know.
Yup... be seeing ya tomorrow! LOL!
I got one ordered now to wait.
Is there a official date for the spatula and tongs? That spatula look like the one dave used to make gravy at the class I took. Thing made gravy like a dream.
I'm pro carbon steel and I use that and cast iton almost exclusively at home and in the field. ? What happens if I forget to lock that handle? Nice work!
Great video. The pan looks great but do I want to get rid of my old Pathfinder Skillet? Life is complicated. NOTE: If the pan is to be stored long term do not use lard. Lard will go rancid after time. Probably olive oil or something similar would be better.
I recently got a lodge 15inch carbon steel Paella pan and I love it, I thought the price would be at least 40.00 dollars, I'm getting one for sure.
Damnation
The seasoning thing again 😂
Folks, "seasoning " is in the
pores of the ferrous metal.
It can't be scraped off like a

gunk will scrape away.
My granny and many ancestors
before me used cast iron cooking vessels, and they only
had metal utensils. No exotic
foreign hardwood utensils, or
special oils
Just steel and iron and lard.
Like Dave C said in the
cooking irons video about
skillets, " just use the dang thing "
Use it and enjoy it
When will this be available in the uk ?
Presently it will only be shipped to the UK from the US but in future a stockist may have some over there
Will you sell these in Europe and UK ??
Why can't I see the old canteen on your website? All I see is the batwing version and I want the original one.
They will be back in /025
Will the skillet handle being set directly on to the coals?
I use Scotch Brite pads & boiling hot water. I also use rubbing alcohol as a final sterilant. I rinse the scrub pad in the hot water before storage.

Got my pan and case ordered Dave. Any idea when the spatula will be available? I'd like to see the spatula and tongs as a combo kit 👍
Love the skillet, but have a question. This is basically one person cooking. Would you consider making the Pathfinder 12" Carbon Steel Family Skillet w/ a Lid? If you are cooking for more than one, if you like using your skillet in the kitchen to cook four burgers or two big cube steaks, a compliment of two eggs and sausage side by side, it would be wonderful.

I want to buy the skillet, but I want the spatula, too. I like the hook. When's the spatula going live?
Mid Dec brother
Chinese restaurant chefs have always cook with metal ladle or spatula on their carbon steel wok and no issues. I believe its all about not having cold cooking equipment and ingredients
Where do you go to get one? Not out yet? Thanks!
Selfrelianceoutfitters.com. Tomorrow at 1pM EST. Thank you
Do you ship to the UK?
Yes Sir and Thank you
Isn't coating with lard, seasoning it?
No not unless you cook it in and never scrub it off
Cooking Brekkie with Uncle Dave!!! 🤗
How is the heat transfer to the handle?
Thanks, KJ4RMZ 73
Not a problem
Room temperature eggs...nothing better than looking on the counter for eggs, and damn it no eggs. Walk out to the coop and ahhhh fresh eggs...still warm! 🤣🤣🤣 (Edit) Eggs don't have to look good....dear god I had an Army flashback to seeing those gray/green scrambled eggs they'd bring us for chow...and yeah we dumped Texas Pete on them ate the hell out of them! I have several vintage Cold Handle skillets in two sizes, and the SRO stainless which I love but DAMN IT now I need this one!
Couldn't find the spatula. My skillets/case arrived today!!!! 😅
Releases January
I was lucky, dropped onto the first promo for this pan as commenter #1
Bad news for me is I’m in Europe thus delivery is 1.5 times the cost of the pan
Good news is I ordered it anyway. At the price and use, it’s worth it anyway and I’m a chef so will use it in my own home kitchen anyway not just outdoors
From what I’ve seen and being used to carbon steel pans anyway, this looks bloody cheap if you are in the US.
Pre Ordered mine 10 minutes after it released, still looking for the new Pathfinder spatula 😊
Have you sold all of the first run? No place to preorder on SRO website.
Again sale starts Friday at 1pm EST thank you for you interest buddy
I agree, buy two, because two is one, one is none, right ?
Have you weighted the skillet? I am getting older every day. I just can't pack the cast iron skillet anymore. 😊
I hope I score a couple of these tomorrow. Does anyone know where to get the spoon with the metal rings for adding a stick as a handle? I’ve looked and simply have no idea.
That is an awesome pan and spatula!
Hardened steel skillet. Sounds bullet proof. I can stow it in my front vest pocket. 👍
I have an oxo folding handle carbon skillet. Is your skillet the same but with a different handle mechanism?
I believe they are a similar type steel I have only seen photos
Will this carbon steel be more scratch resistant than the stainless? Seems like the 8 & 10 inch from SRO as well as a couple of expensive pots I got (getting away from Teflon) have a soft surface that scratches easy. Seems to be a characteristic of that type of stainless used on cookware.
Case hardened fixes that as I said buddy
I'm confused, previous video you said a case hardened skillet will build seasoning faster and better. But after a year your skillet has no seasoning at all? 🤔
Allow me to educate you then, if you choose to season it you can and it will be faster as case hardened steel is less porous, however because its case hardened there is no need and I scrub mine to the metal in the house all the time after cooking and just wipe it out in the woods.

But all skillets will season some over time as the pours fill with grease if they are not scrubbed to the bare metal
You had me at "bacon" 🥓
Why did I watch this whole infomercial. I think I'm buying 2
Excuse the dumb question but is this the same Skillet that you debuted a few months back featuring The nitride
Nitriding is Case Hardening
🎉🎉🎉
That spatula is a dizzy.
Hope to get one when I
get some funds
I have never used carbon steel for cooking, I usually cook a steak with high heat on my cast iron skillet. Can the carbon steel handle high heat like cast iron? I would hate to try using the carbon steel skillet and ruin it just for searing a steak on high heat.
Absolutely
Hurry up and take my money! I can't wait for the new skillet !
😃
Nice skillet setup.. stupid question tho whats the purpose of warm eggs vs cold when cooking? Im not a cook as im sure ya guessed .👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Doctor: Your cholesterol levels have gone up astronomically. Did you add anything new to your diet?
Me: No, I went camping for two weeks and bought the new skillet from Mr. Canterbury. Otherwise, I don’t see anything new.
Doctor: Phenomenal
Me: oh, you bought the skillet too ?
Thanks for the egg tip. Now I know why my eggs stick in my cast iron skillet
That is not a spatula that's clearly a multitool (check out the botte opener)
