He's not kidding about the thick brush in Southern Alabama. I spent 3 yrs at Ft. Rucker, and I was lost for 2 1/2 of em'. Hey Blackie tell em' about the swamps and how 50,000 snakes that come out every evening like they're on a mission. Speaking of snakes, did you ever eat any? And I'd bet real money you've had Alligator.
Great video Blackie! I really enjoy your videos, they are so full of information and experience born wisdom. Yet, you're unafraid to admit when something doesn't go perfect. (Alot of folks 'reshoot' I appreciate the REALness of your stuff. On top of that you TOTALLY made me hungry! And you always make me want to hit the woods. Thanx Blackie.
hey everyone makes mistakes..that's how we learn..i didn't get all this woods wisdom and exp. by doing it perfect the first time...but i have learned in my teaching it's often the mistakes that teach the most to the student...thanks for the comment..safe jounreys
Oh yeah bacon deep fried and all that extra grease. Lima's and bacon grease I can almost taste and smell them cooking. Thanks for sharing that wonderful meal.
Simon, grits are a traditional Southern side dish, usually served with breakfast. They are made of ground corn, and are are similar to polenta. Unlike polenta, they are served warm in a semi-liquid state, rather than cold and sliced. They are usually seasoned with salt, pepper, butter, cheese, etc. they are excellent with shrimp.
I forgot the spiders... There is a big brown/black spotted spider down there that can make a web usually up in the trees, which can be 30 feet or so in diameter. Horror movie kind of spider's webs...I miss Ft. Rucker. I want to go back for a visit.
nothing better than deep fried bacon on the trail..... I use my swedish mess kit this way all the time... hard to improve on the perfection of the swedish set-up.... good video!
Hi Blackie! I was looking through your older videos and saw this one, really like the pathfinder bush pot idea and your trick with the Colman fry pan any idea where to get one or what collapsable fry pan might also fit in the bottom of the pot??
What is the style of the bush hat that you wear and where can I get one. Great videos and so are the details that you give. I'm in the Enterprise, Al. area. P.S. eating grits without butter is a sin :) :)
Love your videos..been watching all morning..what pot size is that. Did you paint it black to help keep it clean or help hold heat. What paint did you use. Thanks
I like the idea of cooking one meal while setting up for the next one! I'm looking forward to the next installment. I have some instant grits I was going to eat with bacon gravy, and now I want to try them your way! How far are you from Dothan?
I like a lil coffee or hot chocolate with meals while on the trail,, and thought about getting a khukra knife , but don't a reliable source to get one from , any suggestions
www.himalayan-imports.com/...this is where i got the ones i have been using for several years..they are said to be hand made in nepal...they will replace any defects so when you get your give it a hard testing.. hope this helps you..thanks for the comment..safe journeys
Didn't know you were a deep woods gourmet chef, Blackie. Great video! And hey, the Pathfinder Bush Pot may be made in China, but it looks like a decent product to me. Maybe President Trump will turn things around and encourage American companies to manufacturing stuff again.
Hey Blackie, Great video, I'm feeling hungry already. Please can you tell me "What is grits?" Its something I would love to try but I come from the UK and I don't think we have it, not by that name anyway. If we don't have it, can you make it yourself? Thanks for sharing and for any help you can give me on grits. Atb Simon
Grits are a traditional American dish made from ground dried hominy(a form of specially processed corn) which is simmered until it becomes soft and creamy. and here in North Carolina you can get it in any restaurant
its the fry pan that comes with a coleman cook set..the bag is bright red nylon..and i will do a video soon where i will detail the pan more closeley for those looking for one for their pot..thanks for the comment ..safe journeys
Would you or are you able to entertain a guest for a weekend of tramping and camping Out of all the TH-cam experts our personalities seem to match the most If interested give me a shout back and we'll swap info
Thanks so much for this series!!! Ever since seeing the bushpot you're using, I've been wanting to get one but didn't want to pay that much for it. So, I got a bain-marie pot and starting experimenting with it. yeah...I'm really going to need your help 80) th-cam.com/video/FyQfVwW2q-s/w-d-xo.html
I was sooo disappointed to find that the Pathfinder BushPot is just more "Made in China" crap. I guess I just expected better from them. I was so disappointed that I almost just threw it in the garbage. I guess I'll keep it but I REALLY wish I would have ordered the Mors pot now. I almost ordered the PLSK1 at the same time. Needless to say that won't be happening now. I don't have a problem with Chinese products when I know that's what I'm getting and the item is priced accordingly.
Actually that's pretty cool way to do things I can see how that would make life a lot simpler awesome job
Sounds like an awesome breakfast

Hi Blackie! I was looking through your older videos and saw this one, really like the pathfinder bush pot idea and your trick with the Colman fry pan any idea where to get one or what collapsable fry pan might also fit in the bottom of the pot??
i would suggest looking on ebay for used coleman cook sets they were pretty common once and should be out there to find
question...how did you keep the bacon cool for transport? how would you do it in the field over several days?
What is the style of the bush hat that you wear and where can I get one. Great videos and so are the details that you give. I'm in the Enterprise, Al. area. P.S. eating grits without butter is a sin :) :)
I like packing leather gloves both for working wood & for working the fire.. "BACON!!!"
Love your videos..been watching all morning..what pot size is that. Did you paint it black to help keep it clean or help hold heat. What paint did you use. Thanks
pot is the pathfinder bushpot..i painted it with bbq grill paint so it can take the heat..and is easier to clean
You may be from LA (Lower Alabama) but you cook almost like a Cajun. LOLOL

Thanks Willy, most interesting but it doesn't look like something to be found in the UK (as usual)
Atb my friend
Simon
Grits are similar to polenta.
Whats in the swamp thats good to eat, Blackie?
catfish,bream, bass, frog leggs,turkey,deer ,hog, rabbits,coon, opossum
I’m in sc looks similar to my roperty
You could always just put the eggs in the grits with the bacon and eat it that way. I've done that before.
He gets his pots from foursogstoves fourdog.com and they come in black on his website
What is the exactly name of this Coleman Pan?
its the fry pan that comes with a coleman cook set..the bag is bright red nylon..and i will do a video soon where i will detail the pan more closeley for those looking for one for their pot..thanks for the comment ..safe journeys
And now I gotta dig out "the pot"
I'm hungry lol.
No self-respectin' Southerner uses instant grits. I take pride in my grits. ';o): Mr. Tipton: (from the film "My cousin Vinny")
