Dave, you are absolutely the best there is at instructional videos. I really miss seeing you on TV, man, but the wealth of things you provide here is astounding! Thanks for doing this!
Thank you Dave, for sharing your knowledge all these years. I've been watching and adding to my tool box sense the beginning. Keep on keeping on Brother.
Hi Dave, the East Asians have a dish called the Beggar's Chicken that is very similar to your dish here. First, the chicken is gutted and cleaned in the inside, but you leave the skin and the feathers intact. Second, you wrap the whole thing in clay, so the end product looks like an oversized football made of mud. Third, you put the mud football inside a burning fire like you did in the video. After it's done, the mud football becomes a hardened shell. Once you break the shell open, the feathers and some of the skin will be torn away as well, leaving you with a very moist, fully cooked chicken. Apparently it's called the Beggar's Chicken because the ancient Chinese beggar gangs could steal a chicken and make the dish without any other utensils. The modern version, which is served in many restaurants, are still made in a similar way, but the chicken is defeathered and wrapped by a layer of tin foil or baking paper before they wrap it with mud. It's much cleaner, but I always feel that it took away the original story.
Roots, meat in aluminum foil in a coal pit is my favorite way to cook in the wood.also ,a can of corn beef hash with sweet potatoes in aluminum foil, in a coal pit is what I eat most mornings.yum
That's a woodsman's meal right there my friend. I've got a little ankle biter mutt that's so fast & stout, she chases down cottontails all the time. She gnaws the head open, eats the brain, then always brings me the untouched body with all the meat. Haven't found a diseased one yet so I've been eating rabbit all winter and still have a few in the freezer. I'll for sure & certain be cooking some rabbit using this awesome culinary method. Thank you Chef Canterbury.
We use a similar method in our WV camping trips... we get the fire good and going, dig a hole, do a layer of hot coals from the fire, then some dirt, then the food in aluminum foil, then more dirt, then more coals.... then leveled with dirt. Let it cook for a while, dig it out and enjoy. We've done venison tenderloin, ribs, roasts, pork chops.... I tell you, it's one of the best tasting meat I have ever eaten, hands-down. After watching this video, now I'm hungry again!!!
I love these camp recipes videos. Rabbits are an easy target. There's even a local family owned fish market where I am that also offers game. Pheasant, duck, rabbit an that kind of thing with the fur an feathers still on. Good stew material..
Thanks for the great video, Dave! It looked absolutely delicious. It looked easy enough for even me to accomplish (Old Bay is in my haversack, too). Sorry to hear that Iris' Dad isn't feeling well. Prayers are going up and positive vibes are heading to him. By the way, I really appreciate when you mention your family on camera. It underscores the importance that you place on family and kind of makes us feel part of it in a way. Anyway, thanks for sharing with us the things you value most. ROCK ON, Brother!!! :)
I genuinely want to become his Padawan. I'd obey his every order with "Yes, my Master.", and learn from everything he told me to do. I've practised some of the things in his videos - for example, I've managed to cook rice with a fire I've started in the forest in the middle of winter when it was covered in snow. I have so much sincere respect for Dave's knowledge and experience of self-reliance.
I always enjoy watching Dave's videos for lots of reasons, but one of the biggest is that he lives in the same general area as I, so the plants, trees and animals he speaks of are the things that are around me as well.
Dave i know this is kinda hard to do in the field, but here in georgia, its fine eating with rabbit wrapped in bacon, some wild onions, potatoes, spices, tomatoes... really good... specially if you are near a creek, get some crawdads... thats a fine meal indeed.
This was a great video!! Simple, with wild game and wild edibles!! Feel free to post more like this!! I love em and gives me ideas for my next time out!! Thank you.
I'm kinda glad I just ate breakfast and am full. Otherwise, I'd be drooling while watching you enjoy that meal. The best part of this video was seeing how much you loved that food.
Sweet old bay, I love old bay seasoning. I love in Maryland and old bay is literally everywhere. This is almost nowhere you wont find old bay except for maybe in the cities. But who likes cities anyway.
Also the pine resins become toxic and tar-like when burned. Pine is one of the biggest creators of Creosote. It is good for preserving railroad ties...and that's not good eats
...WOW...oh man... you kiddin' me... mmmmMmmm... don't get no beddr n' this... ;) great video and good baking lesson.. looked delicious. take care and thanks again. Don P.
Reminds me of something I did about 40 years ago I had fresh caught catfish on the creek Bank wrapped it in Wild Grape Leaves and set it in the fire it was pretty good I brought some store-bought crackers to have with it
Looks great.Going to have and try that.If you ever want to hunt with some good hounds with your muzzle loaders let me know.I am in the Cincinnati area but we will travel.Great vid.
Good job! I bet that would be good with a few pats of butter or a strip of bacon to flavor the spuds as rabbit is pretty lean. I always carry some foil folded up in my kit. You never know when it might come in handy.
have you ever tried a seasoning called spike? its a great seasoning for bush cooking too i use it for everything. its a mix of like 70 herbs and spices its great stuff and good for you too.
I'm really surprised I've never seen this cooking method before. It's way less work-intensive than digging a pit to roast in, and way less resource and fuel-intensive than a traditional brick or clay oven. Really ingenious. Anyone know where this method comes from?
Sitting here cooking store bought bacon and i know in my heart id rather be out in the woods catching prepping and eating some meat of the earth. Then i started thinking, im glad dave has a youtube channel, and i wonder if cody has a youtube channel?
Wasn't the stump he was cutting the sweet potatoes on, the same stump he used to make his rub cloth on in the last video? Is gunpowder safe to eat? Just curious. I'm sure it's just nitrates and cellulose, but i don't really know :-)
Dave, you are absolutely the best there is at instructional videos. I really miss seeing you on TV, man, but the wealth of things you provide here is astounding! Thanks for doing this!
All of the wild Onion is eatable and cooks up nicely. The Tops, the Bulb and the roots. and they grow just about every where.
Thank you Dave, for sharing your knowledge all these years. I've been watching and adding to my tool box sense the beginning. Keep on keeping on Brother.
Yeah boy! Thx Dave, love the cooking episodes.
This, I enjoyed! Thank you, Dave. Hope your pa-in-law is feeling better.
Where are your cookin shows?
Still waiting on the pigeon pie video!
This was a great video Dave. You really make it seem like we are out there with you. Thank you for sharing

I get so hyped for cooking videos thank you Dave.

miss you on dual survival... glad to see you continuing this survival education for us. Thank you Dave. awesome vids too.

Love the old bay I use it on everything
Thanks for another great video Dave... Also wishing for father-in-law all the best. God Bless..

Thanks Dave. Excellent work.
Thank you for putting this video out again. I enjoyed it.
I genuinely want to become his Padawan. I'd obey his every order with "Yes, my Master.", and learn from everything he told me to do.

Also - keep the bones. They make awesome materials to shave into arrowheads. :p
I always enjoy watching Dave's videos for lots of reasons, but one of the biggest is that he lives in the same general area as I, so the plants, trees and animals he speaks of are the things that are around me as well.
Thank you Brother, Oh how I love you.God bless you and yours.Some day soon to your school.
Great video Dave. Thanks for sharing.
My mouth was watering the whole time you were eating. Can't wait to get out and try this recipe. Great video as usual. Thanks Dave.
Great lookin' camp meal for sure ! Good job ! THANKS ...Alan 🇨🇱

Looks good Dave

Excellent. Thanks, Dave.
Tradron
Nothing better than good food in the great outdoors!
your the man dave!
Enjoyed your video. Nice cookin
I'm kinda glad I just ate breakfast and am full. Otherwise, I'd be drooling while watching you enjoy that meal. The best part of this video was seeing how much you loved that food.
man you have to love Dave's stump side lessons best one's he has done was right there
yeah ever since dual survival I've studied , and to say , knowledge on herbs and plants is pretty wild
Ya really gotta love this. Real deal cookin supreme !! Thanks
Looked nice and tender. I had to chuckle about the how to tell it's done bit, though.
Sweet old bay, I love old bay seasoning. I love in Maryland and old bay is literally everywhere. This is almost nowhere you wont find old bay except for maybe in the cities. But who likes cities anyway.
I'm curious what's the reason why pine shouldn't be used for cooking? I never heard that before.
Makes the meat taste like pine sol
Thanks, I'll have to remember that.
Also the pine resins become toxic and tar-like when burned. Pine is one of the biggest creators of Creosote. It is good for preserving railroad ties...and that's not good eats
Is there a way that this could be done without aluminum foil?
I could almost taste it!! Good stuff!!
Hope your father-in-law feels better.
thanks for showing on rabbit and squirrel how to cook it and dressing festive for it I spot to switch it up
That rabbit may be 10 years old now but he still looks delicious!
...WOW...oh man... you kiddin' me... mmmmMmmm... don't get no beddr n' this... ;) great video and good baking lesson.. looked delicious. take care and thanks again. Don P.
Reminds me of something I did about 40 years ago I had fresh caught catfish on the creek Bank wrapped it in Wild Grape Leaves and set it in the fire it was pretty good I brought some store-bought crackers to have with it
Looks great.Going to have and try that.If you ever want to hunt with some good hounds with your muzzle loaders let me know.I am in the Cincinnati area but we will travel.Great vid.
Man, I'm hungry now. Thanks Dave!
good video brother dave
Great video, mouth watering for sure ;)-
Good job! I bet that would be good with a few pats of butter or a strip of bacon to flavor the spuds as rabbit is pretty lean. I always carry some foil folded up in my kit. You never know when it might come in handy.
have you ever tried a seasoning called spike? its a great seasoning for bush cooking too i use it for everything. its a mix of like 70 herbs and spices its great stuff and good for you too.
Dave, I think you should do a video of the yoyo fishing reel
Awesome. I would pay good money to see martha stewarts reaction to your "cutting board" Dave.
Thx for the vid!
Great video Dave , I love what you are doing on your channel. From one old grunt to another great job...
now that's a fine meal!!! one thing I carry in all of my bags is a decent container of SALT and PEPPER!!
When you opened that tin foil... That was a moment for the books right there haha
Yum!
I'm really surprised I've never seen this cooking method before. It's way less work-intensive than digging a pit to roast in, and way less resource and fuel-intensive than a traditional brick or clay oven.
Really ingenious. Anyone know where this method comes from?
Making me hungry Dave! good job as always!!
I love camp cooking videos
Helluva chef Dave. That rabbit looks like fine eatin!
looked real tasty Dave. had rabbit over the fire before but not this way.got to try it
I literally just had to go eat cause of this video, great work as always Mr C
That looks really tasty! I might try something similar using a stack of dock leaves here in the UK instead of the foil and see how it turns out. :-)
Sitting here cooking store bought bacon and i know in my heart id rather be out in the woods catching prepping and eating some meat of the earth. Then i started thinking, im glad dave has a youtube channel, and i wonder if cody has a youtube channel?
I learned a lot from this video. Thank you for sharing.
Dave do you have ramps up in that area
Dave, do you have any good goose recipes??
Nice! I have never eaten rabbit. Would like to try it.
I love this video. I use this method when i find fresh water muscles and clams.
Awesome video Sir, do u guys sell those shirts on ur website?.... And why no pine?
Great dish. Wish I could cook like that.
I would like to know how, in a survival situation, you would go about saving the leftover rabbit an keep it from spoiling should you need to.
Dave,
How many locations do you have?
Love your videos, thanks
love the video's keep it up
Good job. That looked incredibly tasty!
Nice I'm interested in knowing how to fix / process a goose I have some chickens that will be ready for butcher also.
Dave why do you not cook with Pine?
you make hungery Dave good job
Mann making me hungry just watching!! Good cooking Dave!
Nice video sir, I would love to see more open fire cooking, it's a difficult topic due to cooking meet at the right temps, keep up the great work!!
I really need to try rabbit... really really need to try it
Where did you learn this? Any books highly recommend.
do you not have any burdock leaves or some other kind of leaves big enough in which to wrap and bake the rabbit? just wondering......
Not this early in the season
I love you videos. So do you teach classes to people in person? I do not know anything about hunting survival. I would love to learn.
Where did you get your firestriker? And is there a certain type to it?
How did you tie the stick to the rope? and how did you hang the pot on that piece of stick
Dumb Question: Why keep the pine from tucking your food?
A gomer pyle tv show taught me to avoid welsh rabbit, it gave him nightmares ! Dave, is it true, welsh rabbit gives you bad dreams ?
Your thinking of rabbit or rarebit bro?
What would they have used instead of foil? Leaves of some sort?
Wasn't the stump he was cutting the sweet potatoes on, the same stump he used to make his rub cloth on in the last video? Is gunpowder safe to eat? Just curious. I'm sure it's just nitrates and cellulose, but i don't really know :-)
Looks good!
Also, why should we not cook over pine? I assume you mean over an open flame?
