I remember when I was little taking ingredients from my grandmother's pantry and one of her old cast iron pots and just heading to the woods. I didn't know what the heck I was doing just adding potatoes and carrots and other random crap to boiling water but I had the time of my life.

Try doing beef ribs with tinned tomatoes and a nice bottle of red wine, onion, potato and carrot. Very simple. Use the coals and do them low and slow for 3+ hours, they will fall off the bone. One of the best recipes for the Dutch oven as you just throw it all in and not have to watch it

I used to do things like this before I hit 19 and moved away for the Navy. One fine day I think I will get back into it. Nice videos by the way. Been binge watching em.

When I'm making a stew or soup, and I want to thicken it up, I usually just add a couple of pinches of quick-cook oatmeal. It's rolled into really small pieces, so it absorbs the water really well. Some of the pieces are practically a flour. It's coarse enough that you don't have to have an extra step where you stir it into water before adding it, but it gives off enough starch to thicken up the liquid really well.

A better way to get a good gravy and more flavor, is to dredge the meat in flour BEFORE browning. The flour gets toasted, adding more flavor, and it absorbs the fat, so that when you add the water it doesn't clump up and you get a nice smooth gravy. For THICK gravy, add another tablespoon or two of flour to the pan and stir it in just before adding the water.

Great videos! One thing you may or may not know. You can pick fresh sassafrass leaves, dry them and grind to a powder. Add to your stew and it will thicken like corn starch. You can store the powder for winter use. Thanks Much! DaveyJO

Great job! Looks delicious. You mentioned getting one or two additional meals from this stew. My question is how do you store the leftover stew in the field? In your PA woods environment, I suspect temperature is not an issue this time of year to store and to reheat, maybe a splash of water and back over the fire. Do you simply cover and leave in the Dutch oven?

You mentioned using game animals and I have a question that I have been meaning to ask but it may be slightly off topic. There are videos like on Dave Canterbury's site that show the process of cleaning a game animal till it is cooked and on the table. When cleaning they say to check the insides for spots and worms and that is it. Does that mean you can not eat the animal or does it mean you can not eat the organ meat? Just an arm chair bush craftier here.I may not do it but find it interesting to learn new stuff. Bruce from the City of Orange in Orange county California
@coalcracker6 жыл бұрын
So you can eat anything that you get to 212 degrees it kills the bad stuff. I mean literally 4 day old Roadkill as long as you cook it to that temp or beyond it’s safe to eat. Would you want to eat it is a different story but it’s edible Any worms in the organs then I would say stay away from the organs. The meat is ok, at least in a survival situation
@fergusrb6 жыл бұрын
Just so I know I got it, most game cooked to 212 would be OK, but if there were spots or worms then leave the organ meat alone. I guess road kill cooked to my really rare level that I have steaks is out Ha Ha. Thanks for clearing that up, I wonder every time I see clean and cook videos. It is Christmas eve here and everyone has gone to bed. Just waiting for Santa:-) Hope you have a wonderful Merry Christmas and Happy New year.
