Just finished watching. Awesome episode!! Well told story and beautiful videography. Was especially meaningful to me as I’ve been going up to the Cariboo my whole life.
All I can say is WOW and thank you for sharing the knowledge and I'm so looking forward to seeing your next episode, stepping outside the so called normal of smoking food is epic and I plan on experimenting now also 😊
That is my old country. Nice to see a spot not over logged. I grew up in the real start of logging. One flat deck hauling lumber. Then 50 logging trucks. Buck Brush here in Alberta whew, can't see through it but I will warrant it is mostly Witch Hazel. Next Saskatoon & the rest is Red Tag Alder but mostly Buck Brush is Witch Hazel that grows under our big poplars. It looks like he has what we called Bog Birch. We used to like smoking Columbian Gold if we could trade for it, 😂. Lumby Lager
Appreciate your comments! Just to keep things nice and confusing, 'buck brush' is in fact an actual species (Symphoricarpos occidentalis). You're right - the understory in Alberta is heavily beaked hazelnut and rose. Saskatoon and vaccinium in the creeks and river valleys. Lots of red osier dogwood. Interesting you called it bog birch - I've heard that term before. Scrub birch is common too. Betula Glandulosa - pretty neat plant. Have seen it taller in the foothills when fly fishing.
So glad I stumbled upon your films! On a side note, what’s he name of your book that talks about mud soup? I’d love to read it if I’m able to find it. Thanks.
The Buckskin Cookbook. I think? Eric's actually out at the cabin now, and may report back with something different, as somebody else also asked so trying to get to the bottom of it.
I got back last night. Cabin in great shape. The book had no cover left, however, there used to be a few kicking around and I'm pretty sure they are called "buckskin cookery" was sort of a series of small soft covers..
This is so B.C. Let's make a pretentious cocktail in a back country log cabin with exotic herbs, but let's smoke meat in a hole we dug in the frozen ground. What kind of notes were coming off the shrub branches? I like the setting. It is gorgeous. And the premise, but something seems contrived. Are you going to make mud soup and then pair it with a wine?
Always fascinating to see how some people actually take the time to leave super shitty comments on cool stuff that other people have taken the time to make and put out there 👍🏼

Different strokes, heh?
Your comment is so "I live in my parents basement"
Rich man's survival.
