I forgot to post my bannock bread recipe, so here I go: 1 cup flour,
1 teaspoon baking powder, 1/4 teaspoon of salt, 1/4 teaspoon sugar, 1/4 cup dry milk powder, 2 tablespoons of butter, 1/3 cup water.
Mix all the ingredients except for the water, into a ziplock bag, blend them all together. Heat up cast iron and add oil. Once the pan is warm, mix water into your ziplock bag and mix it up. Add the goo onto the pan, cook for about 8 minutes then turn the loaf over. Cook for about another 8. Then bannock is ready.
Thank you, I’ll be trying it tomorrow. Top it with East Texas mayhaw jelly.
Nice knife. An Old Hickory?
Lewis Ward green river knives, I think.
@@lewisward4359 looks like a Russell green river with custom maple handle scales. Really good knives.
Good job bro...but them seeds are gonna chip ur teeth
Hey brother I'm Navajo, my Asain wife wants to experience cactus fruit this year so I will teach her this weekend. 😀😀
Hey Gabe!
I'm Navajo too, from T/C, love this channel!
thats great! be sure to watch our newest video as well, i make refreshing juice from these fruits
haha! funny story about those things. I moved to Arizona when I was 8. LOVED it. 2nd day we went gathering those things so we could make jelly. Reached too far and lost my balance and landed head first into a *huge* prickly pear cactus. The jelly was great, the learning experience even better.
lol damn that sucks lol
Lol. Stuff happens.
Already had my breakfast, but I'll be danged if watching this didn't make me hungry again! Thanks for the video, and to Cuervo for the relaxing morning guitar picking.
im glad you enjoyed it, my friend!
Those are edible raw, and they have a sweet and sour taste to them, also there are other varieties here in Tunisia, that are bigger and sweeter, there are some that even grow late in September, that goes big and red and have more thorns than the red small ones, but they are Extremely sweeter and more delicious, hope I see them in your videos some day
Bless you for thinking about the animals:) if the world would be less greedy, it would be such a better place!+
I am new to prickly pear plants. But I absolutely love all of your videos about them. Thank you so much.
Next time mash your Bannock flat in the bag then cut the outside edges off then just peel back the bag and you have a flat piece to fry, great video
Thanks allot for the tip. Great suggestion 👍
thats a great idea!
That bannock looks really good. I love making agua de tuna during the humid summers of Florida. So refreshing
How do you make that? I brought some home, was thinking of making a refreshing drink with them.
Junkyard Fox I usually use about 6 tunas. I process them like how you did, I place them in the blender with about 2 cups of water. I pour it into a pitcher using a strainer to get rid of the seeds. I add about 4 more cups of water and add sugar. So delicious
Karina Y thank you! I’ll be trying it out tonight
@@JunkyardFox
Make a video!!
Great video on prickly 🍐s they are delicious, they remind me of the texture of kiwi fruit,and I also wanted to send my prayers for the El Paso shooting, seen your video, I was sad for your home town. Keep up your wonderful dream that your doing, we appreciate u dearly.👍🇺🇸❤️
i appreciate the kind words and care, my friend. thank you.
I grabbed some prickly pears from the store yesterday because I was curious. My boyfriend and I watched your videos to learn how to eat them. Thank you! I’m in love with the desert and can’t wait to do some foraging and cooking next time I’m there!
That is awesome! i am very honored! how was it?
I can find these beautiful fruits right outside my door. Thank you for showing me how to prepare them.
jsut be careful if youre running across these fruits in the city, where they may be contaminated with pesticides and such.
TheWildNorth, one of my favorite RUclips channels.
Andy P. Stanley is a lifelong animal trapper. Makes bannock in several episodes. Even makes ‘stick bannock’ which is bannock wrapped around a stick.
Andy epitomizes the name Canadian lol. Nobody got an accent like his ha.
A technique I used once to eat the prickly pear fruit was take a sharp stick and pierce it from the top, break off from the cactus pad, skin it with a sharp knife and eat it like a pop-sickle. I thought it tasted like a combination of kiwi and strawberry.
Beautiful knife!
thank you!
cool video here in the northeast we have wild berries (raspberry, strawberry and blueberry) to eat
Craig Betts blackberry and black cherry too
Camping fire cooking at it best ,nice way to go out in the desert awsome , going to try this bread 🍞 going to try them there cactus apple make them into jelly👍
Huh, I wonder if Prickly Pear Jam would be good on flatbread made with yucca seed flour?
that is a great idea
Great idea mixing in the bag.
Good stuff, nothing better than a fresh meal cooked over a open fire.
Very neat. Could be a survival fruit. Good video.
Loving your videos. I just found your channel. I grew up in Las Vegas, NV and learned so much while camping in the desert. I used large rocks to hit the ground near the cactus trees to test for snakes. Also, eating the snakes can be quite tasty (there are millions of them in the desert). Just soak in buttermilk to get rid of the gamey taste, and BBQ them.
Good bro..
Thanks James I've always wanted to visit West Texas. A great part of America.
Up in Canada we have a native species of prickly pear that’s endangered, it’s called eastern prickly pear, I have a very small one in my house
I can tell that would be yummy. Good stuff 👍
Thank you for sharing! So awesome!
Glad I found your channel! Awesome videos!
Glad you like them!
I have a feeling that a nice wine could be made from the tunas.
Thanks for sharing the recipe.
yeah people make wine, even beers from it
In Eritrea We Leave them On A Large container Of Water and the next daywe cut of both ends lin onions the to both ends of the and peel the skin.The exposed Fruits Is Then Eaten.
Great to see you in west Texas! So hard to find foraging information from that area. Thank you for your amazing, informative videos.
Its a bit of spices like cinnamon in it as jelly is great I've had it on toast
Love your videos. ♥️♥️👍
Looks really good! I never tried bannock bread. Looking forward to making this soon. Thank you Brother!
im glad you enjoyed it!
In my opinion the center of the prickly pear where the seeds are is the most flavorful and sweet.
Good video James. I don't have any recipes but I do eat the fruit everytime we to Mexico. I also enjoy the young prickly pear made into a salad. That stuff is hard to get fresh in Canada. Take care boys.
Great video. I am impressed with your skills.
Thank you very much!
Had some when I was a child, good on on toast and biscuits.
Excellent video. I'll see if I can find some in my travels!
Great video. Thank You
Thank you James
Crush it up, mix with equal parts of local honey. Place it in a jar. Then you can add it to hot water to make a great drink.
i had a diffrent recipe but made a delicious drink, be sure to watch our latest video on making refreshing cactus juice.
Nice hat also
thannks brother!
That looks good. I'm gonna try that. Some nopalitos fried up with onion, garlic, and chicken would be good too. Now I'm hungry. Think I'll have to cook something up for dinner now.
Found some in a park here in south Florida! Never seen any on this side of the country until today!! So amazing
My wife and I have never eaten bannock before but love prickly pear fruit. Your meal looked absolutely delicious. We are excited to try your recipe. Thanks for sharing the recipe. Does your recipe come from family history?
let me know how you like it! actually no, i picked up the recipe from a camping book
2:17 O.M.G U MADE ME LIKE U EVEN MORE...UR SO NICE! 🌿🐾
I can't believe there is 1 dislike. Great video. Thanks for showing great detail as well. God bless. I use to live up in Aubrey TX.
let the haters hate, its not gonna stop us anytime soon lol
Never ate wild Opuntia, They did grow in the Hudson Valley of NYS but were very rare, protected and very small. I've purchased commercial Opuntia fruits at the grocery, but they were never what I call tasty.I get over near the New Braunfels area once a year. Wild land is rapidly disappearing there. Love the videos.
its truly saddening how quickly wild lands are vanishing
I just had a weekend of some wild edibles but haven't even started writing. These fruits were in there as well. Cheers. Good video
love your channel
thank you very much!
Damn, my mouth started watering when you peeled those fruits. LOL
Really enjoy the desert forging videos, please keep making them. Keep doing your apocalypse videos too, those are cool.
Glad you like them!
thank you so much. I would like to vist Arizona .
I like your knife, bro
thank you!
Always have been in favorites list
I haven't made bannock since my scouting days. May have to try again, there's prickly pear around where we live mostly on private property. Maybe I can talk someone into sharing. That did look tasty.
just be careful just in case pesticides or any chemicals have been used
Thank you for this video. Reminds me of my time in the southwest
Nice video!
You know, there’s something about you that makes me encourage you to audition for movies. I think you’d be great! Also, keep up the good videos.
Wow, thank you!
Interesting looking knife
check out our review of the knife: ruclips.net/video/P_fecz0xJx8/видео.html
Thank you 👍👍😎
As always, very good video.
im glad you enjoyed it, buddy1
Thanks great stuff
Glad you enjoyed it
I helped my aunt make so much freaking tuna jelly last year, it took a week to do it all...makes for excellent gifts, and you can add flavors to it, we had 8 flavors, about 5 gallons of each...pitty I don't like jelly or jams. Definitely going to have to just try smashing tunas on some bannock..that looks amazingly good.
ive actually never made jelly before so im gonna be dowing it next week
Was raised in Florida 75 years ago we used to pick these and make jelly when we were camping we would do just like this and eat them of course Florida has been devastated you don't see much wild stuff anymore used to be all types of fruit
that is a shame how quickly wilderness is dissapearing
Thanks for pinning ur comment with the bannock recipe!
I wanna try making a batch, just to see how it tastes...
U should make a drink with these, and do a video of it!!
Awesome video! That jam looks delicious, especially with the bread. I live in the mountains of NC, but these come into the market up here from time to time and I'll be looking for them to try this myself ✊ won't be as fresh as this though lol.
im glad you enjoyed it! hey Matt, be sure to message me your address so i can mail youa short comic book preview of my operation survival story
@@JunkyardFox alright, awesome man! Will do 👍
Yucca fruit is my favorite! But I can’t wait to try the prickly pear cactus fruit!
these are my favorite wild desert fruits
Great and informative video, bro. We have em all the way over here in Louisiana and Mississippi also. I wonder if they would be good baked like an apple...maybe stuffed in a rabbit and baked in the coals. Damn, now I’m hungry 😂
I have them growing in my garden (NM/TX border) I eat them with the skin (not the thorns though ;oP ).....very delicious and healthy too. One of my Pugs loves them also :oD
Thank you for this video. I'll try to grab afew and burn the quills off they look tasty
give it a try, jsut be careful to not bite down hard if theres seeds, they will hurt your teeth.
You deserve a million subscriber's even more than that I love the videos keep it up
thank you, i appreciate the kind words!
Never had tunas, and I think there's a local market that sells them when they are in season. Thank you for posting.
Bummed when I was out there in El Paso I never made it to the desert. BTW that breakfast looked delish!
Being from somewhat the same area I'm in Las Cruces. Not sure if you've made a video on it but growing up Hispanic myself have or do you eat the fruit from the mesquite bush?
im hoping to film that soon
@@JunkyardFox cant wait to see it!
great Hat
thank you!
Thanks 🤠🤠🤠
Nice video bro, loved the knife, have you done a review of it?
not yet, but we are planning a review soon
Have you ever been approached about designing your own knife?
I gotta go look for some.
2:20 Respect !

9:05 when you're tryna poop out the food from last night XD
Believe it or not, these grow in New Jersey but they're smaller.
That's interesting. Thanks for sharing.
I sooo miss Jersey corn and yellow peaches at this time of year. And I'd kill for some scrapple. I do get the best Mexican food however.
Talvez um dia possa vir a provar ! Nice vídeo !
Looking forward to a video of you buying a new pair of boots. If you do please record it.
i ended up just having my boots repaired and resoled
Junkyard Fox in about two weeks I’m going on a camping trip. I own land upstate ny. My cousin and I are doing a weekend stay. Keeping it simple. I’ll be wearing my boots as well. Like you Im big into our western history.
Pattyboybx that’s great to hear, my friend! Have a great trip out there!
Awesome what part of West Texas is this filmed. 😎💞👩🦳
"...North Africa."
Me in south africa living in a semi-desert town👀 "us too you know"
great videos, buddy!
what knife do you use in this video?
greetings from cologne, germany
arthur
green river knife
@@JunkyardFox thx buddy!
Junkyard Fox I have a question in theory could you use the cactus fruits as a sort of dye for making paints
yes acrually, natives would use it for painting fabrics
@@JunkyardFox thank you for getting back to me I appreciate it
Love cactus fruit's & I did have a paddle cactus but it never fruited wonder why.
The bannock bread recipe seems so simple, but I would worry about the butter in it going rancid before you had a chance to cook it out in the desert heat. Or is it something you would prepare that day to be used within a few hours? Without the butter, I'll bet you could store many portions over long term to always have one ready.
jill doyle, I've seen bannock recipes that don't use butter. The butter improves the flavor but it's not necessary.
yeah youre right, i knew w were gonna consume it right away, before it got too hot so i didnt woryy. but if i were out there for days, i wouldnt use butter
Here z ur voice level z good
Nice job with the char cloth....where can i get a striker
you can find a striker anywhere online. self relaince outfitters.com, amazon might have some too
Have to find those Australian ones.
Really want to try this are you in Texas I’m from thryr
