Cowboy Camping and a Primitive Oven!

- I live offgrid and am working toward living a hunter gatherer lifestyle combined with other bushcraft and homestead lifestyle skills. It's just me, my three dogs, my eight horses, two goats and eleven chickens out here in the sagebrush hills or at my farm property on a creek.
A few years ago I made the decision to finally live the life I'd wanted to live since I was young and these videos are of me learning and practicing the skills needed for that lifestyle. Life is a whole lot better Over on the Wild Side!
splendid content Over On The Wild Side. I broke the thumbs up on your video. Always keep up the first-rate work.
I REALLY appreciate that.
Fun video!
The image and sound quality are great! Your editing is evolving nicely too!
You've got a really fun style, whimsical without being cheezy. The nonchalance of a guy who's confident and having fun, and not worrying about trying to be too serious.
Thanks for sharing your experiences for those of us who live vicariously from the comfort of civilization!
Awesome! Thanks Justin, I really did feel like I grew with my video making on this one. It’s good to hear the feedback and that it’s working.
Great video, thanks 👍
With my luck I would have moved that rock and a rattler would have been under it. LOL
That bread look mighty good!
Nice video, thanks for sharing.
JT
Thanks for the good words.
Yeah when it warms up I need to be careful about rattlesnakes in spots like that. Anywhere really. Thanks for watching JT.
@@OverOnTheWildSide
I can't tell you how many times I almost stepped on a rattlesnake while hunting cottontails out on the prairie in Wyoming.
But you never did? I’ve almost stepped on two in my life. I’m really glad I didn’t!
@@OverOnTheWildSide
No, never did. But it ruins your hunt. I'm usually looking out ahead of me at the grass and sage brush for signs of rabbit. But after you almost step on a rattler then you're always looking down at your feet instead of out ahead of you. It's pretty nerve wracking!
PM'd you a picture on your FB page.

@@scenicdriveways6708 that makes a lot of sense! Oh yeah, finally saw it later last night.
Another great one! I can almost smell that bread.
Thank you! It DID smell good.
Fantastic info!! Appreciate your content!
Thank you!
Dayum dayum dayum that bread is going ham. Watched this a while back, Had to watch again.
This is how an oven is supposed to be. The rise, it bakes so perfectly.
Haha! These were very fun trips, I’m glad I did them and got videos.
Quick thinkin' with the mandarin juice! Improvisation is a cowboy's mightiest tool
I love your channel - your positive attitude is really uplifting!
Thank you! That particular trip was really nice.
Fearless experimenter. I'm really enjoying your videos. All stuff I love!
Thank you!
wonderful bread to fill the hearts satisfied AMEN
Amen to that!
Yehaw, another video
Is that cuffed plant death camas?
Also, my granddad would have us moving stuff and if it was heavy he would say, "you lift and I'll grunt!" Loved that old man.
Haha! I’m going to remember that one! I love the old guys.
Yes that’s what it is, Death Camas.
@@OverOnTheWildSide
Yeah, he was full of those old timer sayings. Like forking a pc of chicken on the platter during Saturday dinner, "get the piece closest to ya. Even if you have to turn the platter 2 or 3 times."
Ha! That’s great!
Love your posts,from the old original days,thanks
Thank you for saying so. I’ll do more.
I have to say, I am so greatly appreciative to watch your videos, sir! Your attitude is infectious and I think a lot of people are simply better people for having watched your videos. Cheers, from your neighbour north of the border. And keep up the great content, I look forward to it everyday!
Thank you very much, that means a lot!
Nice.
Be sure and check out your video, soon as I get off work. Our best to ya and yours Over On The Wild Side. 👍smash it guys and gals.👍
Getting real close to that first 1k subs keep growing like a weed my friend. 👍🇺🇸
Real close! I’m pretty excited. Thanks for the support Joel!
I like the video.
Thank you
That plant constricted by the leaf may mutate and become an amazing new thing!
That’d be great!
Nice fire place
A great video brother ... down to earth and very personable... enjoyed it ...
Onward and Upward is the watchword.
I appreciate hearing that.
Nice..made me hungry ..why punch the bread ?...I’m not much of cook
It’s to release the air and let it rise again. I have no idea why it’s good to rise again I’m just doing as I’m told.
Great stove of long ago
I’m not the only one that struggles with tarps haha, after a night or so always have to retighten the tarp or adjust, cool man I never thought of making an oven, a fireplace in a shelter would be cool, and I actually never thought of using a frying pan to move fire that’s smart
Thanks man, I agree, I think it’d be cool to do a fireplace.
great vid and a scot song too..3rd vid ive watched..great stuff..ive a nutty collie dog too..all the best...
Awesome, thanks for commenting
Love this. The new canvas configuration looks good.
Thanks, I definitely prefer it.
Great video as always, nothing more peaceful than waking up and watching the day come to life. I like how you try different things when cooking, I do the same. Gods speed to ya Over On The Wild Side 👍🥖🍞
Thanks Joel! I gotta say those mornings with coffee and a fire are my favorite part.
@@OverOnTheWildSide understand, made me want to do the same real soon. There’s just something about a good fire that puts me at ease. Gods speed to you all Over On The Wild Side. 👍🎥🥇🥇
The bread looks great.
Thanks, it really did turn out good.
Awesome content
Thanks man
Awesome adventure 👍👍👍
Thanks! It was a good time, I like to still be there.
You’re also very funny and entertaining haha. keep up the good work!
It's always interesting to see how we as people instinctively apply our internal narratives to nature around us. All humans throughout history have done so, I guess. Great video! Cheers!
Rick & Morty - “I’m Pickle RIIICCCKKKK”
Haha thank you!
Another awesome vid. That primitive oven was really cool to see get put together. These videos really bring me back to my time in the bush when I was younger. These videos reminding me why I don't like living in a big city. Never been so hyped about bread before lol.
That’s awesome! And great to hear. You could join the trend of going back to your wild roots and leaving the city...
If you ever need a hand moving stuff around let me know this would be a blast
Are you in or near Washington State?
The sugar is just to proof your yeast (make sure the yeast is good). You can mix the yeast with just water and then add it to your mixture. (Be careful with using hot water. If the water is too hot it will kill the yeast.). Once you have added all your ingredients and kneaded the dough, if the bread rises your yeast was good anyway. But, it does help to add sugar to the dry ingredients so the yeast rises better. So, yeah, you would have been fine without the extra sugar to proof the yeast. But, you could proof it by using a small amount of your mixture with a small amount of the yeast, like a mini roll, and see if it rises.
If the yeast had been dead, what would be the result? If you proofed it and the yeast was dead you would just have the dry ingredients to put back in the can. Or, switch to baking powder. If you added the yeast without proofing the yeast and the yeast was dead, the dough wouldn't rise and you could bake it for cracker bread. Or, add baking powder to make it rise (which is more difficult once the ingredients are wet and kneaded, but still possible by flattening out the dough and sprinkling the baking powder over the surface, rub it in, then roll the dough like a cinnamon roll and knead it a lot). Conclusion, always carry baking powder just in case.
Great videos!
Interesting, I appreciate the tips.
were you supposed to do the second rise in your pie pan? also dont need to add sugar to yeast with the water it just helps it along. rapid rise yeast works well if you have variables .
Ahh ok good to know. And yes, I think you’re right about the second rise. That’s what I felt was wrong- transferring the dough.
If the rock on top was flat could you cook on it? May bring some eggs or meat?
Use another rock to clean and help level off the top rock? Lots of work for something short used
That’d be cool to do if I was setting one up to use regularly. However I believe that one is still there after three years.
Cool edits! Could you taste the orange in the bread?
Thanks! I couldn’t, I do wonder how it’d be to add more though.
yo my man if you will put all your vids into one playlist ill help you out by letting them run when im away from my computer so you get views. I am old country boy and your channel makes me homesick. Great job! Do you do any DIY Solar stuff? water reclaim? compost? gardening? that stuff is TH-cam gold (at least for me it is)
Thanks man, I appreciate that! I have a few playlists made I’ll see if I can set one up with all of my videos.
All of that stuff is what I want to do. I’m doing just a little at a time. Gardening and composting are a couple I’d like to do really soon but also horseback camping is my priority for the year so that gets my first attention.
Done. There’s a playlist called All. Thanks my friend.
@@OverOnTheWildSide no problem my guy! Looking forward to more content
@@OverOnTheWildSide ok ill check it out
Love it ! Wish I could be doing that ! Are you in Texas ?
I’m not, I’m in Washington state.
Congratulations on your new level of subscribers!
Thanks Arthur!
Hey added ya from the reddit thread of the other TH-camr and his pic of joe... I'll check your content out tomorrow
That’s awesome! Thanks for saying so and I hope you enjoy.
Everything tastes better when it's cooked with wood. Mountain man
Yup
Wheat back in the day, as I understand was Einhorn grain. Predecessor to modern wheat.
Interesting
I liked the ecleptic edit style that you put on this one.
I'm sure you know this but i was worried that you killed the yeast, it's alive and hot water will just will it. The difference between warm water and cold is time, it will take a bit more time to rise. But other than that, there shouldnt be any problem using cold water.
Ok good to know. I did allow it to cool quite a bit first so I suppose that’s why it worked.
Thanks for noticing the editing style. I really liked it and look forward to getting even better at it.
And thankfully so the metal cup will allow it to cool faster than a glass/ceramic cup would. The bread did raise well. I too thought he killed it but I guess we were both wrong?
@@wvbonbonqueen hi! Yeah I had a clip where I mentioned setting it aside on the ground to cool off but I edited it out and instead there’s just a very brief mention of letting it cool (if I remember right). So I actually allowed it to cool for quite a while before adding the yeast). :)
@@OverOnTheWildSide Yes but when you were making the bread, and was showing the water/yeast, it still looked to be steaming. I was very worried! lol But you were there, I was only watching on video. lol You always know best when you are there. lol
Ahh ok, I’ll have to see what that was. It was definitely cooled off...
That’s flower is an Easter Lily correct? Assuming by the date of this video and the fact you said it was in the Lily Family
Very similar, it’s actually Death Camas.
Beautiful loaf of bread! Was sour dough a thing in the Era you are trying to simulate?
I finally figured out how to make start but have some issue with making bread that comes out right.
I don’t know of yeast bread being common by anyone traveling the frontier but there’s a story of a baker who’s wagon broke down so he set up shop right where he was.
@@OverOnTheWildSide yes near madras. On bakers road. I was told he was headed to the gold fields but his wagon broke down and so he started baking where he was. Sounds like he did a good businesd
A very good video. I enjoyed it and also wondered about you killing the yeast with the hot water, but as I had commented below, the metal will allow the water to cool faster than a glass/ceramic cup would.
All breads are very different, some recipes call for a one rise, then pop into the oven, some call for two risings then put into pan, allow to rise the third time before baking. Just read your recipe for the kind of bread you are making. I have made sour dough bread that calls for only one rising then put into a hot pan, then bake into a hot oven 400 degrees. I also make white bread that calls for the two risings then put into baking pan, then the third rising before baking into a moderately hot 350 degrees oven. The recipe will be the deciding factor on how many risings you should do, before baking. JMO
But it all turned out very well and looked good enough to eat!!
Do you know which one makes it the lightest? My breads are turning out a bit dense.
@@OverOnTheWildSide OK, now this is from my experience, if you Knead it more, it will rise better, and make it fluffy. If you add too much flour too fast, it will make it dense and heavy. Sourdough is dense, so if you are looking for a lighter fluffy bread, I would do less flour, knead it a bunch, that is what makes the gluten come out in the flour and only add as much flour as you need, to keep it from being sticky. I just made some bread the other day, it is Heavy, but I didn't knead it enough. It was just plain white bread. I keep forgetting to knead it more, and not add the flour the recipe calls for slowly, and only as much as needed to keep it from being sticky when I am kneading it.
Hope this helps!!!!
Yeah that’s helpful, I went at it with the biscuit making mindset of kneading very little. I’ll give it a try.
@@OverOnTheWildSide Watch this woman mix her bread, it will help you maybe? lol

There is no english ,but I have the closed captions on, so I can read what they are doing. Hope it helps.
I noticed your hands are really dirty. I worry about getting ill while out so I try and keep my stuff clean. You seem to do okay! May be better genes or I didn't eat enough dirt on the frsm, lol
Haha! Maybe so
You need to look out for snakes when you are around the rocks.Making a oven is all good ,but not much good if you get bit by a snake or two.
It was too cold for snakes
Horse ,and TRAVOIS...
You should have built camp closer to that rock haha
It’s about three feet away. But you mean to heat the shelter? I would have if I didn’t have to worry about rocks exploding.
@@OverOnTheWildSide haha I’m just joshing ya. I just meant that way ya didn’t have to tote that big rock that far haha
@@OverOnTheWildSideyou’re about 15 times tougher than anybody around. Much respect from me 👍
@@Ouachita.Mule.School oh haha!
@@Ouachita.Mule.School thank you, not sure how accurate that is but I’ve made a lot of progress.
I didn't know cowboys carried that much crap without....
... IF.. he'd just put those rocks out in the hot sun; he wouldntyev needed ta build a farm to bake bread.
I guess they didn't have Boy Scouts back den.
I’m not sure what you’re saying about that much crap… The sun wasn’t hot enough, are you suggesting that the sun and the rock could have baked the bread?
What's the recipe on that bread pard?
I got it from this video, the recipe link is in her video description…
