My grandfather made our camp fire like that and had a leftover cast-iron grate from a contractor job and set it up across the minilogs and thanks for the video it's been a reminder of him and those times we went out camping
Thanks for the tutorial. I love the way you made that fire. Beats shoveling coals from a larger fire any day. One recommendation try to not cut the root(bottom) and core of the onion. That what gives you that scent that makes your eyes water. :)
Vintage BSA mess kits can be found on line at "Etsy". They generally sell for $15 to $25. The older ones are all metal. The later models have a plastic cup and a plastic knob on the lid.
There were a lot of things to notice and like in this video: the fire irons on small logs, your utensil bag, turning and eating with a butter knife, and the eggs tomato and onion! A sprinkle of salt and pepper would have been ok, too! I liked your setting the skillet on a plate to eat from it. Keep making videos like this: simple, yet full of ideas!
Great video Blackie. Just a thought... shallow bury the onion root to start a foraging find for you or someone else in need later on down the road. Onions will take hold and grow just about anywhere, and if it doesn't come up next year, no harm done. 😁👍
Very enjoyable video Blackie. The food looked delicious. I have the exact same BSA mess kit and it is an excellent backpack kit. The quality of that old BSA stuff is just so much more superior to what they put out today. Thanks for sharing brother. Take care.
like the air channel concept. will try tonight. but I will be grilling a steak and a neat thing I picked up a few years back is putting the onion skins normally discarded onto the coals before cooking. helps season the meat and smells great. Here's to smoke in your eyes! great video!
simple..one done eating pot is returned to fire with water to boil...this is used to clean the blades of forks knives ect..and to get the left over food to float off the pot..a quick scrub and its done
You're doing what the fire boxes are supposed to do without the fire box. I've been ''over engineering'' that situation and digging a small Dakota firepit (though it is handy if you want to leave no trace) and replaced the tent pegs with kebab skewer's (a multiple use item). Haven't seen one of those match safes in years!
Hello mister i see your video it is very instructive one and i want to ask you something i'm looking for a pan like you andif you please tell mee how can i have one please
What? Lighting a fire with a match on a bushcraft channel. How dare you. No flint and steel or ferro rod or bow drill. Ha ha ha just kidding. That's the way to do it. If you have matchs or a lighter then use it. That's what they are for right. Thanks and keep up the good work.
Hate to see you chopping that knife onto a metal plate, if you got a thin piece of cedar and chopped it into a circle that was the same size as the smaller hollow on your plate then that would make an excellent, cheap, light and replaceable chopping block that would not take up much room and preserve your knife blade...
good advice..the thing you don't know ..is that the knife is basically a butter knife the edge is as thick as a hacksaw blade..i chose the knife because i would not hurt the plate pan or the knife to use.

Enjoyed the video. Nice quick way to have coals for cooking. I am going to try that breakfast. It looks delicious. Thank you for sharing.
Great little breakfast fire! I love the broad arrow air flow. Made me hungry! 😁

i got more to come..stay tuned..safe journeys
I have had that very breakfast many times on the trail thanks for sharing.
Good job!
finally someone who remembers how to strike a match to start a fire...very refreshing from all the ferro rod warriors
i feel you should build skill in everything ...lighters/ fire rod /char cloth /and flint steel /solar..and of course matches they all have a place
I make omelet's that way a lot when I hiking. Love breakfast on the trail and in camp.
Thanks Blackie, who knew you could light a fire with a match. lol. Sorry I have been watching too many "bushcraft" videos. Great job.
Great video Blackie. Just a thought... shallow bury the onion root to start a foraging find for you or someone else in need later on down the road. Onions will take hold and grow just about anywhere, and if it doesn't come up next year, no harm done. 😁👍
these videos are so much fun to watch!
Looks really good Blackie! Thanks for doing this one.
thanks..safe journeys
enjoyed the video
I've used something similar for a fire lay. Great to learn a new way. Thanks for sharing.

Yeah ! Blackie that's the way my granpa was eating, with his knife 😜😂😂😂
i saw many of my elders eat that way as a child..it was the common way in the past
I`ve got one of those match safes, had it for over 50 years.
Good stuff lasts forever.
i replace the rubber stopper every few yrs but other wise it does a really good job

Here's to smoke in your eyes!
great video!
thanks..enjoy your steak..safe journeys
Great video I would like to see a video on how they used to clean the utensils in the old days
simple..one done eating pot is returned to fire with water to boil...this is used to clean the blades of forks knives ect..and to get the left over food to float off the pot..a quick scrub and its done
Loved the fire-lay & That Breakfast sure wasn't anything to sneeze it either, Blackie T F S
Old scout trick, when the smoke turns towards you, say I hate rabbits and the smoke will turn away.

It's official. I'm hungry. My wife is in the kitchen frying up bacon for tonight's burgers, and now I see this? Oh the cruelty!
nice video....the ole smoke is rough....!!
oh tell me about it..90% of that video i am sitting there with my eyes closed and tears running
cool. set up
wishing i was there looks good
good job
Makes me want to build a fire and cook some breakfast. Can't get away from that smoke.
Thanks a lot... Now I'm hungry...lol
that messkit looks really cool, any idea where you could score one from some shop?
That looks very good. Hey I have a question for you, do you ever cook with salt pork ?
i love salt pork..i made fried salt pork a favorite breakfast on many hot camp outs..but these days the heart doc takes a dim view of my eating it
wheres the spam !! lol dad use to have rebar pounded out just for that lots of fishing trip dinners done like that stay safe brother
OK so I am sitting here after work watching your video, Beer and a pile of donut's. So why do I think I've got the short end of the stick?
Blackie, Sir. How do you carry eggs out in the field? TY & TU.
Hello mister i see your video it is very instructive one and i want to ask you something i'm looking for a pan like you andif you please tell mee how can i have one please
search ebay for vintage boy scout mess kit..look for a steel pan
What did you do to get your message kit bowl and fry pan so black? Looks good!
heated them and added thin coats of olive oil makes them non stick and easy to clean

i wish you would do a video of stealth cooking..
i maybe doing just that..i have had lots of requests to do a grey man type of series..i have knowledge in that ..and may do so this spring
Only thing missing was the bacon..
yep although i think link sausage would taste better with this ..and keeps better on the trail
or spam, comes in single slice package now ive seen
Just now seeing this. My fav; breakfast over a fire. I would have shed a nostalgic tear if u broke out the links and cowboy coffee.🙂
smoke itn the eyes say WHITE RABBIT WHITE RABBIT WHITE RABBIT !!!!!
haha i will give it a try
Need some farm fresh eggs Blackie.
yep i got a source ..just didn't have the time that day..
blackoracle69 that's fine. Was kidding you. Thangs for the video
i would love to do more videos of cooking over campfires, but i'm not sure how big the fires should be, and how much coals i need.
i will be doing more cooking vids very soon and we will cover that
Only thing missing was the turkey
haha..i have cooked one or two on a fire but its lots of work
