- THE FOOD WE CARRY IN THE FIELD DOES NOT HAVE TO BE EXPENSIVE NOR DOES IT HAVE TO BE HARD OR TIME CONSUMING TO PREPARE IN THIS VIDEO I WILL TALK ON WAYS THAT I CARRY FOOD TO THE FIELD I NTHE WARM MONTHS OF THE YEAR TO SHARE MY YEARS OF CAMPING EXPEREANCE ..THE M 40 MILITARY COOKSET IS AN AWESOME BUSHPOT SET FOR BUSHCRAFT /WOODSCRAFT COOKING ON THE GO. THE LARGE POT CAN EASY COOK A MEAL FOR 2 OR 3 PEOPLE AND THE TOP POT CAN SERVE AS A SMALL FRY PAN AS WELL AS A POT FOR COFFEE AND OTHER HOT DRINKS. COMBINED THE POTS FORM A DUCTCH OVER OF SORTS TO BAKE BREADS OR ROAST MEATS OVER A LOW FIRE FOR AN AWESOME MEAL.
IN THIS VIDEO I WILL SHOW THE SIMPLE MODS I HAVE DONE TO MINE TO MAKE CAMP GOOKING EVEN BETTER . A COAT OF PAINT OF BBQ PAINT WHICH IS MADE TO HANDLE HIGH HEAT WILL MAKE THE POTS EASIER TO CLEAN I NTHE FIELD AND REMOVE ANY SOOT. THE CUTTING OF A NOTCH IN THE WINDSCREEN WILL ALLOE THE TOP POT TO SIT LEVEL AND STOP THE HANDLE FROM BECOMING WICKED HOT SO YOU CAN PICK UP THE POT WITH OUT THE NEED FOR A RAG OR SOME OTHER PROTECTION.
I WILL SHOW HOW TO REMOVE THE WINDSCREEN ONCE YOUR DONE COOKING TO SNUFF OUT YOUR TRANGIA BURNER AND SAVE FUEL FOR THE NEXT MEAL.

There is no link for blackbird haversacks
Blackie this this a way to contact u I'm wanting a blackbird2 haversack
Blackie when you counted off cooking the egg a bird responded with his count . Coolest thing I've heard in a while . 👍
😁
Last night I cut up a small jar of dried beef and boiled it for a few minutes to remove some of the salt. Then drained it.
Then I heated a cup of microwave macaroni and cheese. Then mixed the mac & cheese with the dried beef and added a small can of peas.
Blackie I appreciate you sharing your hard earned wisdom and time tried and true methods with us.
I just bought a can of powdered eggs. 1/4 of powder + 1/4 water = 2 eggs. You don’t have to worry about them breaking or going bad. Each egg equivalent costs about $0.60, and the can will last a year after opening. I bought a set of collapsible measuring cups and bring only 2 of the set: 1/4c and 1/3c. Serve with some oatmeal and a single serve fruit cup (or raisins added to the oatmeal, and that’s a hearty breakfast.
My go-to lunch is tuna wraps: a tortilla and a seasoned tuna pouch with a packet of mayo from the fast food joint. I eat it with a protein bar, granola, or dried fruit.
For dinner, I do a fried rice dish using pre-cooked rice in the little 1c containers, a small can of Vienna sausages, and a small can of mixed vegetables, and some soy sauce single serve packets leftover from Chinese take-out. If I want to mix it up, my HEB carries Mexican seasoned pouches of pork/beef, and again wrap it in a tortilla, and serve with a side of canned veggies.
Powdered milk is also great for the field, useful for adding to coffee, making boxed meals, or just drinking.
good info
Good ideas. The problem with M.R.E.'s is some of us are allergic to wheat products. I found out the hard way in the ARMY, when the other guys were constipated from them I gut the Runs until the Doctors found out I was Allergic. A lot more options out there now that I'm Retired but Pricey.
Great video. Yesterday separated my rice roni pasta for this weekend and ate one portion for lunch to see how much water I needed..turns out I cooked and ate both portions. Lessen learned I'm taking the whole box. Vienna sausages is my stable and the chicken broth goes into my water for mash potato, rice or waterever I'm cooking. Great advice to practice your cook out before going to the woods to avoid guessing and forgetting things to take.
I'm with you brother I would eat the whole thing of macaroni and cheese. I might not cook anything else. I would take it out of the cardboard box and put it in a freezer bag those boxes get squished in your pack and they flare open even if they don't break open and your noodles spill out. I think old Blackie just doesn't eat as much as some of us old boys do
Good call on the eggs. The only eggs I generally don’t refrigerate are fresh from a chickens behind. But the quick boil is a great way to keep store bought eggs out.
Hungry hiker isn't too bad to watch. For meals.
So convenient so simple overlooked tips .Great info thanks.
I got one of those Swedish mess kits, a stainless steel one, it's a good kit, can fit my cup, cutlery and coffee and tea making stuff in it plus firestarting stuff, i usually cram half of a tea towel in there to stop it all rattling and give you something to handle hot items with.
Good tip!
Blackie, Great Video and Information also tips and tricks. I Greatly Appreciate You passing on your knowledge and wisdom and experience. Always thinking how to make it better and easier and outside of the box . Also practice, practice, practice in the back yard before going out to the woods or field. Thanks Again for Sharing.

thanks for watching
Great video…don’t forget the instant noodles or foil packs of tuna or chicken light and easy definitely budget friendly. Have fun stay safe.
I've started taking vacuumed sealed packs of cured ham that you can find in super markets. It requires no refrigeration and I have no idea what the shelf life is but this the old cured ham our grandparents had hanging in the smokehouse. Makes good ham Biscuits and beans with ham pieces.
Thank you Mr Thomas, I agree with your advice 100 %, appreciate your videos,😊
Thanks for watching!
Mr Blackie .. when is your gathering for 2023 ?
The stew looked delicious. And I’m watching over breakfast. 😁
LOL, Food for thought and lessons taught but hopefully learned.
Hi Blackie, greeting from Australia 🇦🇺 thankyou for your time to make these videos. Thankyou
Love your camp cooking cooking with blackie lol love it
Good suggestion on the orientation of the Boundless Voyage stove! Bill Doyle
I have the Pathfinder M40 Cook Set. It has become my favorite cook set. Awesome video my friend
Don’t forget the black-eyed peas and rice.
lol nope never that
Spam for protien
Thank you, sir, for sharing your experience and these tips. Good informative woodsy knowledge.
THANKS BLACKIE
glad to do it
stuff like those completes meals i like well enough to eat cold, same with ravioli and alot of other canned stuff.
I never had any good luck with ponchos. Wearing one in a rain ensured that my legs got soaked from the knees down. In a half hour, I was wet clear up to the waist. I now wear a rain jacket and rain pants. A bit better.

Great video and advice, thanks! 👍
Blackie,
Fantastic video, all great tips, and refreshers, really appreciate what info you pass on….
Excellent information, Blackie.
I learned a LOT. Thanks.
Glad to hear it!
Thank you Blackie, good information with the price of freeze dried backpacking foods these days.
Thanks 👍
Thank you blackie for ideas of preparedness
These are all such great tips! Thank you!
Glad you like them!
Yep i did the flash boil of eggs , also waterglass eggs with lime
I'm looking forward to the live.
Great information Blackie, as per usual!!!
Much appreciated
@@blackoracle69 You're a true insiration!!!
Thanks for the tips…👍
You bet!
Back before my health declined to the point where backpacking is no longer practical or possible one of my go trail breakfasts was one or two Cliff Bars with a piece or two of jerky and a big cup of coffee or tea. Could be eaten on the go if necessary with just a swig or two of water if time pressed. For dinners drop a couple of beef broth cubes in the water to cook the rice along with some cut/chopped up jerky and spices suit your fancy - teriyaki or soy sauce were my first choices. The Knorr side dish and/or Idahoan mashed potato packs were also good bases foe a dinner. Lunches? String cheeses and hard salami or small summer sausages worked and kept well. Have also used vacuum packed Kiebasa or smoked sausage - they will keep well for 2 or 3 days.
good points thanks for the comment
Blackie, can you do a video of what foods you can keep in your vehicle during the summer in the south?
I do the same kind of meal planning canned beef or chicken with meal size portions of rice or instant noodles or potatoes makes a great campfire feast at end of a long day I also dehydrate veggies to add to soups or stews
Sounds great!
Thanks for video, i'm gonna try to do tortilla wraps out i woods.
Good food and cook system 😊
Thank you 😊
👍
Noodles an broth and ghee saved me many a cold day
Really enjoying your videos.understand the south thing. Next door to ya in Mississippi. Lots of the same surplus gear also.
Very cool!
I also will help myself at fast food restaurants to their free condiment packs to season or spice my meals I will add to the bags
so do i
Good video. God bless. From Glenn CATT in Massachusetts.
thanks
I feel like I just ate at Blackie's restaurant. I also saw some guys whip some broken eggs into a bag and freeze it for the first boil in bag scrambled egg or omelette breakfast. It might have been Mark who makes the Emberlit stoves. (Merkwares) I like those suckers a lot.
Dang you know all my secrets. You're the first other person I've seen heating up the Hormel meals in boiling water. Everybody I've shown that too was totally surprised.
I like the single serving spam they even have spam that is bacon flavored. I like the corned beef hash but that's a lot of meat for one person if you cook it all and you really have to spend time to Brown it all it just doesn't taste good unless you cook it long enough to look like actual hamburger meat instead of ground up spam. You can do the boil water trick with Uncle Ben's different types of rice. You can get the single serving tuna salmon and chicken and mix that in with one of those rice and have one hell of a meal when you heat it up. I don't try to divide up my macaroni and cheese I will eat the whole thing. But that's all I will eat but I do like to take it out and put it in a Ziploc freezer bag it's a lot easier for carrying around the Box might break open and spill all over the place if you leave it in that cardboard box. I've also found that a pound bag of beef jerky comes in handy you can always soak it in water cut it up and add it to different things like Ramen noodles or something where it has little pieces of steak in it I have heard about heating up the eggs I have never tried it I just throw them in a pickle jar that I saved the vinegar in. What you're doing by thickening up your membrane is blocking oxygen from getting inside the egg causing bacteria to grow the vinegar also keeps the air out I've never had a problem with them breaking open but I guess in theory they probably could. I know that if you have chickens that you can take a fresh laid egg and it will last a long time the only reason the store bought ones go bad is because they wash the coating off of them. But a egg naturally would last a lot longer than what we buy in stores. I have a little cold handle Skillet myself mine's only a 6-inch when it's kind of hard to tell how big yours is from the screen but I'm guessing yours is about a nine I have never mixed the Cub Scout set with it I have seasoned the aluminum frying pan on the Cub Scout set to make it non-stick and it works pretty well I prefer My World War I mess kit as a frying pan though to the Cub Scout frying pan. It has more room being 9 inches long opposed to being a 6-inch Circle. You have a lot of good ideas Blackie keep it up I have a feeling people are going to need to know these skills coming up pretty soon
I kind of agree with you those saw your water filters are great for a backup but not for a primary use. I mean using river water to cook with is no hardship because you got to boil the water anyway so it's going to kill anything you were going to boil anyway unless you're talking about heavy metals or pesticides but your typical 20.00 water filter isn't going to get rid of that either you have to get the more expensive ones for that. And of course you'd be limited with your drink mix and all that kind of stuff. I have several different types of little filters one is in a military-type canteen bottle screwed onto the lid on the inside. So pretty much I have to drink water out of that. But I have another one that's pretty small that has a little pump and a hose on it and I can pretty much filter it out of anything into something else and that would be my go-to if I don't want to boil the water. You have to be real careful and know where you're at so much of our water around the country is contaminated and people don't even know it. They watch the shows and they tell you that all you have to do is boil your water in your good to go. Well yeah sure if you are in a protected area that doesn't have heavy metal or pesticide contamination. You don't even know where those are though most of the time, heavy metal can be a natural occurrence where can flow through an old mine. But pretty much any kind of water we get down here in the south is going to have pesticides in it because it got into the rivers and creeks from up North coming through farmland. So you're pretty much going to want a good filter that can get rid of all that crap. Boiling alone isn't going to do it. Boiling only kills the bacteria and the protozoa, and of course viruses
It's just like when you do your dishes you don't have to boil special water to clean them. The next time you cook in it it's going to clean it. Just the heat from the fire alone will kill anything on it some guys will just hold it over the fire a little bit and let it get kind of hot. They say that's enough to kill the stuff. What kind of makes you wonder what we have forgotten in the last 150 years that are great-grandparents dead on a daily basis. We think we're so smart and they would probably think we are dumbasses for not knowing just the simple things of everyday life
I remember my great-grandparents I was fortunate enough to know them when I was a child. They live their lives through the covered wagon days all the way up to being able to fly on passenger Jets all the way to California in the early seventies. That was a lot of change in their lifetime but of course they both live to be about 90 I think one of them was a lot older than 90
Blackie ask Bear if he would do vid on making cured bacon 😁
Blackie scrambled ham or bacon or sausage put aluminum foil wrap it up warming up when we're ready for a launch mainly something quick suppertime that's when we get the beans and rice on a chili oh and make that or some but we mainly fixed three breakfast so we can have them for 3 days you make up whatever you want them launch were usually all eat together and supper we all eat together whatever the other guys you got too much of these split it have a great day
Hobo packets are the best. Miss me with microplastics, I'll stick with my potatoes, onions, beans, bacon, & sausages.
Fun fact the hormel completes were made as a replacement for MREs but military rejected them 🤓
When I pack my backpack I keep everything in separate bags or containers. What is the best bag to put food in that won't be to bulky
I did pizza out in the woods..
Every time I go grocery shopping I'm on the lookout for food that's "compatible" with the field, and my cookset (s/s GI canteen cup & stove, and 3 pc German NATO aluminum mess kit) that's relatively healthy at the same time. I recently found meatless SPAM. So I'm going to experiment with that and see how it goes. Veteran & Silver Wolf
@Timothy Mckee Yes, that's what it is. Now as to if it's any good or not, I'll find out tomorrow
@Timothy Mckee I wouldn't know... found it in Walmart
Just finished eating my packaged cheese rice and starkiss packaged chicken mix. Not my favorite but better eating rocks
