Not only interesting and informative, but the relaxed way you get the message across is perfect. No tense music track, no Zombie Apocalypse, just a calm, resourceful man and his friend having a meal together in the woods...more people should do it, without some imagined terrible scenario to justify it...a modern day Thoreau, thank you for this
First time I have watched Dave's videos- I'm impressed. Excellent on video instructor- explanations clear, physical skills are demonstrated and not just explained, pace good, and Dave neither talks down or up to the viewer. Two sidebars- he cares about his dog and appears to enjoy a good meal. Both positive qualities.
I've been watching you for years Dave. I want to say thanks for all that you do. your videos actually got me back out camping and turned me on to bushcrafting. which in turn created great memories for my son and myself and to me that's what it's all about. love your vids, keep up the great work.
I love that you share with Rufus. If it's good enough for me, it's good enough for my pup. If it's good enough for my pup, it's good enough for me. True pals always share. Just plan ahead and bring enough along. I love your relationship with Rufus.
Just wanted to say I love watching Dave's vids. Down to earth, practical, informative and well presented. Doing a great job man, keep up the good work.
Love the dog in the videos, he's well fed and taken care of. He is very patient while waiting for you to finish all of your projects. My dog is always glued to me.
thank you. this is awesome. i used this at a homeless camp and it really made the place feel really wholesome everyone enjoyed it and learned something new. people can live pretty good outdoors with very little and have a comfortable and delicious dinners to enjoy with friends or alone. i appreciate your survivalist classes. thanks
Thanks for this series Dave. As we watch the different shows, yours and others, the craft angle is well taught and shown. Too often though, meals are left for granted. Thank you for showing the meals other than,"meal in a pouch".
I have a few complete sets of US military cook ware, with that spoon you used (with fork and knife). It was from the time Alaska was a territory, and our people (Eskimos) were in the Alaska Territorial Guard. Excellent utensils. Good cooking video, Dave. Thsnk you.
His "oh man" after the first bite has me cracking up. Funny how much better things taste outside, especially after battling with a camp fire, and a primitive oven set up. Good job sir.
A man's love for his dog says a lot about his character. I enjoyed your demonstration Dave and am going to throw some of those paper clips (Spring type) in my kit right now.
Very nice tip. I struggle trying to find easy ideas for food while in the woods. This gives me a lot of ideas. Thanks Dave. And I love that you shared with Rufus after he was paying such good attention to the entire process. -Jacko
Nice one Dave, I have dehydrated my own stuff for years. I also carry spam in the individual packs along with home made jerky and powdered eggs. Nice to see rufus enjoying some of the spoils!!
I love the cooking videos Dave, and you do a great job with them. Also, I always enjoy it when Rufus co-stars in these productions. He seems like a great dog. My dog is so spoiled I would probably have to engage in hand to paw combat to get a bite of the finished product. Lol. Keep up the great work brother.
Dave, I never thought I'd hear you say the words ''veggies'' and ''look real good'' in the same sentence! That pot hanger is bomb. You're like the rebar wizard, haha.
I made this on a recent camping trip and it was fantastic and filling! Thank you Dave for sharing this simple and awesome recipe. BTW, Rufus is a great pup.
I have been following your admissions in the Backwoodsman magazine with great interest, this is the first video that I have seen and I have to say that I enjoyed it tremendously. Thank you for sharing your knowledge.
Nicely done Dave. I really enjoy your videos, especially while I'm deployed and can't be out in the woods doing what I love. Your cooking videos are my favorite...not to much better than a good meal in the woods. Rufus some great manners!
Sir I have followed you for years and I promise you I mean nothing but respect I have so much respect for you!!! I'm only asking that you remain humble that has always been your one fault that I have ever seen please understand I am a fan that is honest I love everything you do I have been around for the last 12 years watching you I just don't want you to feel too comfortable in the nicest way if you know what I mean like I said man I'm just a fan I mean no harm stay strong I hope everything is great you are a hero thank you for your service I just don't want to see you lighten up!!!
Thanks Dave. I appreciate the more approachable way you've taken lately to the people that might be more tentative about getting out. Showing common grocery items is a good link to the real survival skills, that most people that have any interest at all want to learn but are probably too timid to go out and try on their own. Thru-hikers don't care about this stuff, and the internet "survivalists" don't care, but the people out there that only have access to local campgrounds and a weekend a month do appreciate it. Fire making, is key, not where you get your dinner from. Making sure you have shelter and insulation is key, not the fact that you packed in a taco mix from the grocery store. For backpacking I put old bay in with my salt and my pepper. All things I buy at the store and carry in my cook kit to make my experience better. Haters can hate. It's what they do. Those of use who take all the chances we can to be outdoors, understand sometimes that means stopping at the grocery to buy product, and not starving for a week while we make arrowheads and shafts, and a bow to hunt game that probably doesn't exist in our area code... People need to wake up and at least start to reconnect before they start to criticise.
Great series Dave, camp cooking is my favorite part of being "out there". Good eats can make the difference. Especially on the cold wet, snowy days. Your dog is awesome. You have a very well trained companion there. Keep um coming Dave. Forgot to say I use top ramen mix with my dryed veg mix for a quick meal sometimes when I don''t have time to get fancy. Quick energy and it tastes good..
Great info as always Dave. We used some of your quick prepackaged meal ideas from other videos on a pack-in salmon fishing trip up north. It was a big morale booster having a hot meal like that when you're cold and wet on the banks of a frigid river.
Well done Dave. I teach cooking for adult leaders in Boy Scouts. Many of them have never made simple tasty meals like this. They often can only boil water for backpacking meals. My staples are often fingerling potatoes, Brussells sprouts, ham steaks, and pita bread or tortillas. Those pouches of rice are great! I also like to break down and carry only the ingredients from a package of pho bo for soup.
Thanks for the video, Dave. I just got the Bush Pot for Christmas, and this looks like a great way to take advantage of it. I will definitely give it a try. Please add more videos like this, for any other meals you use the Bush Pot for.
One thing I love to take with me is Meifun noodles, which is an instant rice noodle. No boiling time. Just pop it into some heated up broth and in 5 minutes you are set. Thanks for the video Dave!!
Great video. Only problem I have is you reusing the water that you boiled the bagged chicken and rice in. I would imagine the toxic chemicals from the ink would leach into the water when you boiled the food in its packaging. The ink used to print the outside of the bag are most likely not food grade and may cause cancer. Just want to point that out.
love how you're Eating good out In the woods now Dave! its pretty tough when you cant hunt as you need to carry food and when you're out for a week, man foods an issue! Cheers, Jack
Thanks for sharing this. I now understand how to more effectively utilize this cookware. Cannot wait until I can afford to purchase a set of my own and experiment with recipes. It is so much healthier than carrying MRE, which are loaded with sodium and preservatives.
I think Rufus is enjoying this series as much as the rest of us. I think I'll go make cornbread in the cast iron. You're making me hungry. Great stuff Dave!
I just want to compliment on your instruction videos your posting on you tube it enjoyable and it has a realism to it as well thanks for the info video turtorials Dave csnturbury
I cook and have always cooked healthy so I never have that stuff in the house, but in a camping, especially SHTF scenario this is the way to go. I have months of MRE but these are things I'm going to start stocking, Another great vid, so thanks!
Anyone who doesn't like dogs has a screw loose somewhere. They are family and more loyal than any person. The way Dave treats his dog says a lot about his character. Let the haters hate brother.
thank you... I've enjoyed learning with you for quite some time... and although there are some videos on MRE type rations items you can perches from the grocery side at Walmart. I don't think anyone has really put it together like you. thank you
Hey brother I've been watching your videos I lucked on to your channel and I just want to add I really enjoy what you do 57 year old disabled that I was a ranger when I was in the military so I'm pretty good about living off the land and also to me and I was born in West Virginia the Appalachian Mountains so you know the survival off the land is pretty much in bread into me that's just it you know that's a good idea to see you know what somebody like you can offer for doing what I'm getting ready to do which is Nomad living I got myself a van I've redone inside very comfortable for one person but you know I love to cook the cooking tips the Sim Simplicity what you're teaching is my whole philosophy on traveling on the road you know how it's I go back to the Pioneer yeah my horse is changed and it's a lot more comfortable now but the ideal about how to feed yourself how to do you know what you're doing when you're out by yourself taking care of yourself in the world especially in the west you know how we how we are we don't ask for anything so if you don't have it you don't eat it cuz you got to take care of your own and I like to keep it simple easy so I appreciate what you're doing
It's a nice and simple concept with pre-cooked and dehydrated meals. Went this way for many years. Lately though I've been getting away from pre-cooked or any form of processed food and only eat fresh stuff (except for the stuff I fermented myself). Especially on a tour it requires more weight and more space to carry but I'm absolutely convinced it's worth it and much better than processed food out of a factory. Locally grown food of the season :) That's what our bodies have adapted to over the past centuries.
Not only interesting and informative, but the relaxed way you get the message across is perfect. No tense music track, no Zombie Apocalypse, just a calm, resourceful man and his friend having a meal together in the woods...more people should do it, without some imagined terrible scenario to justify it...a modern day Thoreau, thank you for this
I love that you love your dog so much Dave.
Your videos got me through a real tough time . Thank you.
First time I have watched Dave's videos- I'm impressed. Excellent on video instructor- explanations clear, physical skills are demonstrated and not just explained, pace good, and Dave neither talks down or up to the viewer. Two sidebars- he cares about his dog and appears to enjoy a good meal. Both positive qualities.
Rufus has more character and class than most of the people that I've known ... great pup.
I'm 64 years old, David and I am enjoying your videos greatly. Thanks very much. And learning very worth while things. 👍
I could watch this stuff all day...makes me feel like bugging out to the woods for a night. Thanks Dave.
No matter what he eats, you know the first thing Dave will say will be, "Oh, man."
Just tunning in Dave. I like how practical you instruct. Thank you.
Ol Rufus has excellent table manners.
I've been watching you for years Dave. I want to say thanks for all that you do. your videos actually got me back out camping and turned me on to bushcrafting. which in turn created great memories for my son and myself and to me that's what it's all about. love your vids, keep up the great work.
Brother Dave....your efforts are appreciated. Looking forward to more bush cooking videos. Thanks
I love that you share with Rufus. If it's good enough for me, it's good enough for my pup. If it's good enough for my pup, it's good enough for me. True pals always share. Just plan ahead and bring enough along. I love your relationship with Rufus.
Just wanted to say I love watching Dave's vids. Down to earth, practical, informative and well presented. Doing a great job man, keep up the good work.
Looks delicious. And FAR more financially economical than those pre-packaged "camping" or "trail" foods. A lot of those are ~$12 per serving.
Love the dog in the videos, he's well fed and taken care of. He is very patient while waiting for you to finish all of your projects. My dog is always glued to me.
Thanks for the tips. Looking forward to the rest of the series. Oh, and "Good boy Rufus". He waits so politely.
Dave, this brings back some good memories of many a 'one pot' meal while camping. I thank God and my scoutmaster for the chance to explore the woods!
my 6 year old son loves your videos... he makes a few himself... thanks for sharing!
I don’t know why but these vids just calm my anxiety. So therapeutic and I appreciate you.
Your dog is so,well behaved. And cool of you to share the food with him.
Again, I am not disillusioned. Thanks, I am still a fan from years before.
Good man Dave !! The fact that you fed Rufus from your fork made me happy. I'm a vet & you just won a subscriber.
+bullit4x Most folks would call that nasty or disgusting, but for those of us who really love our dogs it's nothing. Something I do almost everyday.
+bullit4x Word. I am glad I am not the only ass who feeds his dog from the utensil lol. My wife likes these videos because how Dave is with his dog.
+bullit4x That is disgusting, dogs lick up shit with that mouth.
+BoloYung If you have ever eaten out or ordered a pizza, you have eaten worse,, trust me.
thank you. this is awesome. i used this at a homeless camp and it really made the place feel really wholesome everyone enjoyed it and learned something new. people can live pretty good outdoors with very little and have a comfortable and delicious dinners to enjoy with friends or alone. i appreciate your survivalist classes. thanks
Dave you are the first person I started watching on You tube. You certainly know your bush crafting/survival. Great respect for you brother.
Thanks for this series Dave. As we watch the different shows, yours and others, the craft angle is well taught and shown. Too often though, meals are left for granted. Thank you for showing the meals other than,"meal in a pouch".
I have a few complete sets of US military cook ware, with that spoon you used (with fork and knife). It was from the time Alaska was a territory, and our people (Eskimos) were in the Alaska Territorial Guard. Excellent utensils.
Good cooking video, Dave. Thsnk you.
Great video….best dinner guest ever!! Thanks, Dave!
Easy to make, tasty campfire food has always been a challenge for me. Thank you for this video. I’m excited about the cooking series!
His "oh man" after the first bite has me cracking up. Funny how much better things taste outside, especially after battling with a camp fire, and a primitive oven set up. Good job sir.
A man's love for his dog says a lot about his character. I enjoyed your demonstration Dave and am going to throw some of those paper clips (Spring type) in my kit right now.
"Easier on the back end"... Thought you were going somewhere else for a moment. nice video look forward to the series
Makes me miss the old Yurt videos...
+Extorted I've started watching them again....good stuff.
The Journal of the Yurt is my favorite series
Very nice tip. I struggle trying to find easy ideas for food while in the woods. This gives me a lot of ideas. Thanks Dave. And I love that you shared with Rufus after he was paying such good attention to the entire process.
-Jacko
Nice one Dave, I have dehydrated my own stuff for years. I also carry spam in the individual packs along with home made jerky and powdered eggs. Nice to see rufus enjoying some of the spoils!!
You are a good teacher. I think I’ll try some of these in the backyard during COVID-19. Thanks for inspiring. Also, Rufus is awesome.
thanks for keeping it real. Up here in Canada we can appreciate what you do.
Is this that awesome guy from dual survival??? Love this freaking guy!!
That meal actually looked really really good, and Rufus looked like he enjoyed it too. Thank You for sharing.
I love the cooking videos Dave, and you do a great job with them. Also, I always enjoy it when Rufus co-stars in these productions. He seems like a great dog. My dog is so spoiled I would probably have to engage in hand to paw combat to get a bite of the finished product. Lol. Keep up the great work brother.
Dave, I never thought I'd hear you say the words ''veggies'' and ''look real good'' in the same sentence!
That pot hanger is bomb. You're like the rebar wizard, haha.
Glad to see that this is still up. One of my favorite videos on youtube.
Great videos Dave. Enjoy and learn something from everyone I watch.
this is my kinda of cooking show
I really enjoyed watching this, thanks for doing it. Glad your buddy got some of it too. He's a good boy.
I made this on a recent camping trip and it was fantastic and filling! Thank you Dave for sharing this simple and awesome recipe. BTW, Rufus is a great pup.
god I love the cooking vids, so many ideas, so many ideas.....
I always love your cooking series. Great ideas even in the backyard with the family

Can't beat it with a stick, Dave. And got the best seat in the house to boot! Awesome vid.
Just a guy and his dog out in the woods cooking dinner thats the life in my opinion awesome video dave!
Well done Dave. Watching you cook all of that has made me hungry. Stephen, Ohio
Awesome channel! Love watching you cook in the great outdoors!
Dave, you're the real deal man. God bless you in 2016! I love your content.
Thanks Dave. I appreciate the more approachable way you've taken lately to the people that might be more tentative about getting out.

Great video, Dave. Thanks so much. That Rufus is a well trained dog.

Solid video, Mr. Canterbury. Thank you.
Great info as always Dave. We used some of your quick prepackaged meal ideas from other videos on a pack-in salmon fishing trip up north. It was a big morale booster having a hot meal like that when you're cold and wet on the banks of a frigid river.
thank you Dave! I just ordered your pro cookset, and I can't wait to get the bush pot.
Real informational!
Finally a real bushcraft meal on TH-cam!
You young man thank you for your help with this matter. Your a real soldier. 💪
Puro Tejano! ✊ thanks for all your shows

It is a privilege to watch you cook. A great video, just like every other one you make.
God bless ya.
Home cooking in the woods after a long trek is always more rewarding than freeze dried food. This way the meals are always memorable.
Thanks Dave for the cooking videos.
yes! More videos like this! Believe it or not, these give me great ideas!
Thanks for the idea Dave. Looks like a hearty meal.
Thanks for the video, Dave. I just got the Bush Pot for Christmas, and this looks like a great way to take advantage of it. I will definitely give it a try. Please add more videos like this, for any other meals you use the Bush Pot for.
Awesome. I have been wanting to figure out how to use the Uncle Bens rice for camping.
One thing I love to take with me is Meifun noodles, which is an instant rice noodle. No boiling time. Just pop it into some heated up broth and in 5 minutes you are set. Thanks for the video Dave!!

Thankyou Dave for your videos. I just got your bushpot and i love it! now im going to go try this.
This is my favorite channel.
Thanks for sharing this. I now understand how to more effectively utilize this cookware. Cannot wait until I can afford to purchase a set of my own and experiment with recipes. It is so much healthier than carrying MRE, which are loaded with sodium and preservatives.
It's a testament to Dave's character that he feeds his dog from his own fork......I do the same thing....
Rufus has some discipline! My dog would've ate that up as soon as I turned my back hah
I think Rufus is enjoying this series as much as the rest of us. I think I'll go make cornbread in the cast iron. You're making me hungry. Great stuff Dave!
I just want to compliment on your instruction videos your posting on you tube it enjoyable and it has a realism to it as well thanks for the info video turtorials Dave csnturbury
Good stuff. first made biscuits like that camping in the 70's. Thanks for sharing.
Great video, great meal. Bush cooking should be simple like this. Concoctions you make in the woods are the best eating stuff. Thanks for the video
I cook and have always cooked healthy so I never have that stuff in the house, but in a camping, especially SHTF scenario this is the way to go. I have months of MRE but these are things I'm going to start stocking, Another great vid, so thanks!

Great vid, man... and ohwee I do get mighty hungry watching this show!
Love the videos keep up the good work and teaching! I looking forward to taking one of your classes soon
Great video! I recently purchased the container you used to boil the veggies in, it is great. cheers.
I LOVE that you always share w Rufus !!!!! Your like me my dog is my best friend
Thank you for sharing Dave.
This will be a good series for me. Thanks
thank you... I've enjoyed learning with you for quite some time... and although there are some videos on MRE type rations items you can perches from the grocery side at Walmart. I don't think anyone has really put it together like you. thank you

Rufus is awesome just like his owner. I am inspired to try this out in the field. Great video
Thanks for the cooking lesson Dave!
This is my first time seeing you and I LOVED the fact that you let your dog eat off your fork. Now we can be friends for life. LOL!
It's a nice and simple concept with pre-cooked and dehydrated meals. Went this way for many years.
