Some fine bushcraft cooking right there Dave! Even the trolls gave you a thumbs up :) I love the idea of the plank, I have used a folding sierra cup inside my bush pot to bake but I hadn't thought of the plank. That's livin' right there brother, relaxing in the hammock in camp with bread baking on the fire.."man o' man!" Thanks for sharing!
When we camp, being true to our southern heritage, our campfire bread of choice is corn pone. Corn Pone is an eggless cornbread made with bacon grease and water, that is shaped into small ovals and fried. Next time we are camping I think I will my hand at baking a corn pone using your helpful video. When my family and I are camping we try and eat the way our ancestors are in the early 1860's. While teaching my children how to survive and enjoy the wilderness, how to hunt, fish and trap, I teach family history, around the camp at night is a good time to tell them about family history and the stories that have been passed down through the generations, and to let them know and have pride about who they are where they came from.
I have never tried this before! It looks brilliant, so the next time I’m out I will! My son loves making food out in the forest, so this will be very popular. Thank you, and enjoy your stay in Sweden! (Any plans to come to Norway?)
Nice... just ordered the pot so I can make that on my next trip. Wife will be thrilled with more camping gear. At least I will be able to cook for myself when I get kicked out of the house!
That was great, Dave! Back when my boys were young, I always made a big breakfast the morning of the main hunt. I cheated and brought refrigerator biscuits, and baked them in a cast iron skillet. This is much easier than lugging around a big cast iron skillet, and I'd bet much easier to clean up. Thanks!
I like all your videos,Dave,and especially liked this one.I just gotta try it.I've made biscuits from Bisquick once,perhaps I'll use that to make a small loaf.I don't have the Bushpot,though it's on my list.I bought the canteen cup and nesting stove(gave it a good review)off selfrelianceoutfitters a few years ago and use it mostly to boil water to make tea or Ramen noodles.Thanks for the video.
Dave, I heard another trick when baking in a pot like that was to put some small stones in the bottom of the pot, which retains heat and makes for a more even cooking. Also, you talked about convection currents while baking. If you cut some notches into the sides of the plank, would that allow better convection flow while cooking?
Dave brother you ain't ever gonna trim down eating like that... hard to resist good food made over a fire..as always you inform, impress and inspire. God bless!!
Thanks for sharing this method...Cant wait to try it...Gonna use self rising corn meal and sugar to make a sort of baked johnny cake buscuit thing...with bacon bits and maple syrup of course!
I use a homemade tin can cook set all the time, but how to bake has eluded me... until now! The pot on its side! Why didn’t I think of that! Great video!
Hey Dave awesome video man, will definitely try it out. Was curious how it would bake if you put the empty bushpot in the coals to heat up inside then put the plank n loaf in. Kinda like pre heating the oven. Looks delicious dude! Thanks!
Wow! A very good video on how to use what you have to cook what you want and like. Don't feel bad about the slight burning, the more you do this the better you get and I would say you do this quite often. Again, thank you for a very entertaining and informative video as always. :)
Dave, awesome video! I've been watching you for a while now, but don t get a chance to get out in the bush much any more. I used to love backpacking and hunting. I love the bushpot, and I was typing this to ask you where I can find one- the next video can on about your bushpot. I'm excited! You might just hear from me soon with an order! Thanks man keep it up
Dave, have you done, and if not could you do a video or just have any tips on waterproofing and waxing canvas rucksacks? I've tried a couple different methods and none seem to hold up, since your waved canvas products do hold up I was wondering how you accomplish that task? Thank you and stoked for the grand opening of SRO we are coming down from Detroit to the opening for my wives bday. -Brent
Hi Dave, great video. Some places that I go to in the woods have open fire restrictions during extreme fire seasons, but allow fire in contained settings such as wood burning bush stoves. Do you have any recommendation for a good wood burning folding bush stove that would make a great combination with a pathfinder bush pot. Thank you for all of the great information that you put out in your videos. God bless you and your family.
10* If you have a foldable flower steam collander (then you can put bakery in the steamer for hot air ... or even steamed dumpling cooked item. If you have silicine baking cups, or collapsible silicone drinking cup (can handle 250F, same as 15 PSI in 250F pressure cooker) and make any of your bakery, even meat cooked sausage, meat balls, etc, omelettes, ...
Dave, great video, that bread looks tasty! I've seen that technique used with a few smooth stones from a creek or large steel ball bearings in the bottom to act as thermal mass and help regulate the oven temperature a bit better I'd be interested if you thought that made a difference or not. Also, opening the handles would help support some coals on top sort of like a dutch oven with coals on the lid. Now, where did I put the butter?
here is a free idea for you, have the maker of the pot make a stainless steel cookie sheet the size of the plank. You could bake anything, like fish, squirrel or a small bird.
You should have spread some flour on the wooden board to prevent the bread from sticking to the board. But but I love the idea, I didn't think about it.
Could yo post some pics of that table in the background behind the hammock? I've been drawing something like that to make and it looks like what I was sketching.
Dave, I've learned so much from you over the years. I appreciate you brother.
Its always a pleasure to watch you eat

I love using that bisquick.. ever since I saw your chicken and dumpling soup video! Thanks again for all you do Dave.
I love how excited dave gets about the food he makes

Fantastic videos, you are helping educate a south african. Love your no frills no bullshit attitude, thanks buddy.
Cool technique Dave. BTW, I think most of us like when you demo your own products. Thanks
Excellent! Big hug from Brazil!
I have never tried this before! It looks brilliant, so the next time I’m out I will! My son loves making food out in the forest, so this will be very popular. Thank you, and enjoy your stay in Sweden! (Any plans to come to Norway?)
I've cut 2-3 small v-notches on the sides of the plank. It seemed to have helped with the convection.
That would taste so good in survival mode, all cold and tired. I learn so much from you, thank you for these videos.
Nice. I bet a warm biscuit fresh of the fire taste fantasic on a nice cool fall day.
Awesome video! One of your best hands down. Very informative and entertaining. Thanks so much Dave.
Love these cooking videos Dave! Thank you!
That is one of the coolest techniques I have seen for bread on the fly! Thanks for sharing Dave!
Absolutely Genius!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I really love watching your videos!
Nice... just ordered the pot so I can make that on my next trip. Wife will be thrilled with more camping gear. At least I will be able to cook for myself when I get kicked out of the house!

You make it look so easy. My previous efforts to make bread have not turned out well but I'll try this method.
That's cool. Thanks for sharing. Love your cooking videos.
Loved this video Dave! Looks amazing! Definitely going to try this!👍
Dave brother you ain't ever gonna trim down eating like that... hard to resist good food made over a fire..as always you inform, impress and inspire. God bless!!
Man you make things look so easy , great job I'll definitely try this this weekend. 👌 Keep up the good work.
Thanks for sharing this method...Cant wait to try it...Gonna use self rising corn meal and sugar to make a sort of baked johnny cake buscuit thing...with bacon bits and maple syrup of course!
I love this vid Dave I've used a wire rack, but hot hot hot I like the plank way better thanks I will def do this from now on. Thanks Brother
Excellent video Dave, I was waiting for Rufus to pop his head in. Rufus is usually hanging around when you are cooking, lol
Much respect Dave.
Awesome stuff thanks for taking the time to put up vids brother
Good video. This is very good info. Was thinking about getting a small pie maybe a 3 inch round, and use the little pie tin.
great video, keep it up. If you can you should film while your in sweden.
I use a homemade tin can cook set all the time, but how to bake has eluded me... until now! The pot on its side! Why didn’t I think of that! Great video!
Good luck on your journey, Sir!
This is great. I'll try it on my big trip this weekend. Thanks!
I love your product reviews. Because I trust what you say.
How cool is this. Thanks for teaching us how to do it.
Dang, Dave! That turned out good!
Hey Dave awesome video man, will definitely try it out. Was curious how it would bake if you put the empty bushpot in the coals to heat up inside then put the plank n loaf in. Kinda like pre heating the oven. Looks delicious dude! Thanks!
Damn, Dave, now I'm hungry. Great vid!!!
Pariah Sojourner yeah i got hungry too
You have some much knowledge to survival, you deserve your own tv show!
Quelle bonne idée ! Merci
Dude this is awesome I make a pantry of my own for the bedroll typer person but this is cool.for those longer hikes
Nice method for backing, thanks!
Nice!!!
Best wishes from the other side of the pond!!
Looks good!
i bet a peace of salmon would cook good like that
Wow! A very good video on how to use what you have to cook what you want and like. Don't feel bad about the slight burning, the more you do this the better you get and I would say you do this quite often. Again, thank you for a very entertaining and informative video as always. :)
I busted this out in a 6 day backpacking trip with friends. Threw in some huckleberries as well and had some jealous friends that night haha 😂
Would soaking the plank In water help it cook faster?
Dave, awesome video! I've been watching you for a while now, but don t get a chance to get out in the bush much any more. I used to love backpacking and hunting. I love the bushpot, and I was typing this to ask you where I can find one- the next video can on about your bushpot. I'm excited! You might just hear from me soon with an order! Thanks man keep it up
Great way to think outside of the box here. Will you be posting any videos of yours travels and teaching overseas?
Great job ... Thanks
ty Dave as always...really enjoyed this vid being I love bread/biscuit when eating
,,, hello,, i will never doubt you again,, this one of the best videos i have seen yet,, it can be done,,thank you for sharing this knowledge ,,,,,,,
James Humerick when did you doubt him?
David you are unbelievable man! much props from Ukraine!
We have no aspen in Florida. Cedar planks are sold at retail outlets and commonly used for grilling salmon. Would that do?
I like the Keyhole shape fire idea very much. Could very easily add another space or two. Thank you.
Thank you, Dave. I was joined by my girlfriend watching your video (and that is a heck of a compliment ;). Thank you!
I look forward to the "infomercials " always interested in new products.
That keyhole fire is LIFE!
That's a great idea. Thanks
Thanks..
Sweden is a beautiful country!
Great video... I'm waiting for my bush pot and 64oz bottle to arrive 👍🏼
I like grits and the corn meal from grits or polenta can be used to keep bread from sticking
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐.....😎 Great video.....one of your best!
That looks good. I can almost smell it!
Dave, have you done, and if not could you do a video or just have any tips on waterproofing and waxing canvas rucksacks? I've tried a couple different methods and none seem to hold up, since your waved canvas products do hold up I was wondering how you accomplish that task?
Thank you and stoked for the grand opening of SRO we are coming down from Detroit to the opening for my wives bday.

ah man i just saw you were coming to Denmark :( but will be trying baking that way today. Great video :)

UCO makes the nicest one I have seen in 2 sizes and very packable

the concept for this makes so much sense i spent half the video wondering why i never thought to do this.
more bush cooking
Hi, would you have to use already disinfected water for the bread, or does the baking get hot enough to disinfect it? Thanks!
Dave, great video, that bread looks tasty! I've seen that technique used with a few smooth stones from a creek or large steel ball bearings in the bottom to act as thermal mass and help regulate the oven temperature a bit better I'd be interested if you thought that made a difference or not. Also, opening the handles would help support some coals on top sort of like a dutch oven with coals on the lid. Now, where did I put the butter?
Boyd Hudson - heating stones from a creek is very dangerous! Heat turns the absorbed water into steam and can cause them to explode.
here is a free idea for you, have the maker of the pot make a stainless steel cookie sheet the size of the plank. You could bake anything, like fish, squirrel or a small bird.
ceramictiletonight thats a cool idea! Can be diy done but i like this! #liked
Does the smoke add a certain taste or flavor? If it gets into the pot
Can you do a video on that hammock setup?
You should have spread some flour on the wooden board to prevent the bread from sticking to the board.
But but I love the idea, I didn't think about it.
What if my lid won't stay on my pot when it's on it's side?
Dave I need your receipt
Could yo post some pics of that table in the background behind the hammock? I've been drawing something like that to make and it looks like what I was sketching.
Can I use bbq coals in place of the wood?
Dave have you eveer been finland? nice place to visit also ;) hope you shoot video from sweden .
Hey Dave thanks great video can i ask is the wood you used a hard wood or soft wood and do you need to wet the wood so it dose not burn
I like the coat👍!.. canvas?...where do I get one?... is it coming to your website?...
I think it's a Fjallraven anorak
Hey Dave, any type of wood to avoid when baking like this? Thanks!
Avoid resinous woods like Pine
Only Dave C. Can make eating bread and water so attractive.
