The basics in life are the best. Simple food, coffee and a fire. Very relaxing, thanks.

[@melvinhowell5469]

Still love watching your old videos, Sarge...God bless you and the family...

[@sargefaria]

right on man

[@sargefaria]

I agree on the stool. Thanks man

[@carsiotto]

Corn meal is great for the outdoors, its been a Mexican staple for thousands of years since there is so much to do with it. Great vid, thanks!

[@TopwolfOutdoors]

I always like the way you do your videos,you do a super great job,have a great rest of your week my friend

[@sargefaria]

It was harvested by me and Mitch from Native Survival in MA. And I made it myself......delish!

[@Waldhandwerk]

Fine, fine Derek, great cooking and video, nice Music in it. Take care bro, Sepp

[@ChrisCollier]

Another great video Derek! Maple syrup is an excellent sweetener, I enjoy it with chaga tea and have been known to put a few drizzles in my cereal. Thanks for posting!

[@beebob51]

Nice video Sarge. Beats the daylights out of MRE's for sure :) I used to bake potatoes on a wood stove the morning I would go hunting. I carried them in my jacket pockets for hand warmers. Then, once they cooled off I ate them.Made great hand warmers and a snack, LOL.

[@sargefaria]

Thanks man. I may do that at some point. Just always on the move, don't sit still too long

[@jfr04]

Watching the vids getting ready for some camping this weekend!

[@sargefaria]

haha....yup, that's how I do it man

[@coolkat10001]

Great video Sarge, very relaxing, but one thing I would have to do is build me a camp chair.

[@sargefaria]

I used to have aluminum as well but got away from it....more so because they tend to be cheaply made. Of course there are some hazards as well but my decision was based on the previous. My preference is surely cast iron.....but I use stainless and tin as well

[@BlackRiverBushcraft]

Great vid. Nothing like some salt pork and cornbread to sop the grease up with, lol. Need to make yourself a nice little camp stool or bench one of these days brother. Anyways, really enjoying the series bro. Take care and keep em' coming!

[@opalprestonshirley1700]

Just like my grandmother use to make. Great video thanks.

[@sargefaria]

thanks man, not sure on the song.....buddy sent it to me to use

[@sargefaria]

All I generally wear is "railriders" Ma'am. Bit pricey but well worth it Thank you

[@coopermarean3809]

Hey, great video have you ever tryed hammock camping before. I think a video on that would be great. Also ide like to see demos of the tomahawk and double bit axe. Those would be videos am very interested on seeing

[@sargefaria]

WOW.....now you're talking! Sounds awesome Sir

[@pangeria12]

Need to get me a wool blanket. That's for sharing your outdoor cooking.

[@sargefaria]

Depends really bro. If its humid out the bag can collect moisture and ruin certain foods for sure. Better off with cotton cloths and such that breath....even with jerky. I actually would never put jerky in a baggy for that reason. Yes....a stomach would work well. Long as it breaths you should be fine. Cant really give a definitive answer on HOW LONG things will last tho.....many variables effecting that.

[@MrOldclunker]

Just happened to be sitting down to a meal of home cured. apple wood smoked salt pork and a couple of eggs. Great video to have lunch with, thanks.

[@sargefaria]

No I did not......just the day. Thanks for all your support my friend as always. Folks just like you certainly make it worth continuing to do this

[@2bonosc]

Lol, "always, always do I add too much water"! Thought I was the only one . As always great, helpful Vid, Inspiring to go out before it's too cold.... not ready for Too cold yet.

[@sargefaria]

LOL....right on man

[@DonnyB]

Cool video Sarge, I'm not sure how I missed it first go around. Now I'm hungry!

[@sargefaria]

+Donny B lol....thanks bro

[@mcswain30]

I didnt think you were WAY back there. I saw several heavier items, Axes and whatnot.... never the less, great Video... Making me antsy for my next outing!

[@briargoatkilla]

I got ya in 1080p now!! Looks great. You probably had the capability for a while, but I just noticed. Nice lookin' meal, too.

[@nathan42304]

I've read Nessmuk once I'm on my second time I been thinking about his kit and he has me taking things out doing with less

[@EatCarbs]

A lot of guys seem to scoff at carrying food... but I think it's worth it's weight.. more so when you have a really enjoyable time out in the woods. I've been wondering this for awhile now.. do you pack wood out with you?

[@NewfieOutdoorsman]

Looked like a good meal,loves me some salt pork too,what is the name of the song playing in this video?

[@sargefaria]

Depends where I am really. I have a spot that is pretty close to the road/trail at about 100yds. Sometimes I am way out there tho where I usually hunt. I don't find it to be an issue really......at least the small skillets anyway. Wouldn't pack my dutch oven haha

[@charleskelly8918]

What is your opinion on cooking with aluminum pots & frying pans on a regular basis (weekly or monthly basis)? I carry an old boy scout kit that's all aluminum. Are there any dangers? I've heard different things about only cook with stainless or cast iron, this n' that. So what's your take?

[@kevinoverton7777]

Tasty lookin meal as usual brother...Got a quick question on that nice woodsman blade, and you may have said already but are you going to feature it in the Mountain Man series? Thanks for all you do my friend.

[@sargefaria]

video coming brother on the flintlock Thanks man

[@LeeWolfLittle]

What brand of pants do you wear in this video? My husband has been trying to find some. Thanks Sarge. Can't wait for the Nessmuk series

[@Atkrdu]

Hey Sarge, just wondering: When is it a problem to use a ziplock bag for your food storage? I know a couple of days shouldn't be a problem with jerky, corn flour, coffee, nut flour, whatever- but how long would you say it's good to use? Also, I was wondering if using a stomach knotted off would work for things like that? Is it breathable enough for jerky & such? I remember hearing about the Mongols using that for borts (which might be a survival food worth looking into- by-the-way).

[@TheNewzealandhunter]

ive had maple surup in my cups of tea bloody good. great vid sarge

[@MrLoiti100]

Great video!

[@smd482000]

what size is your tarp and nice vid

[@tomgold9697]

"Salt pork...its like bacon on steroids" Brilliant! Great clip mate, thanks for posting.

[@mcswain30]

I notice that you have quite a bit of gear (Being a Cast Iron collector I know that the skillets arent light), how far back are you from your vehicle or closest road?

[@sargefaria]

Yes I have. I don't particularly like a hammock to be honest.....rather be on the ground. Maybe I am just used to it

[@turnthedirtyon]

I would like to see a video on how to carve the bush pipe

[@nuetrong2]

Another great video

[@sargefaria]

good stuff brother

[@vikingjoe93]

Great video Sarge. This location that you have been posting video's from, is this a friends property or maybe a national forest? If you don't mind me asking.

[@sergiudec]

Sarge it's mushroom season here in Europe, how about Mass? They're great sweated with some of that pork and dough! Thanks for the vid!

[@BFerry10]

Is that self-rising cornmeal or did you add a leavening agent?

[@sargefaria]

Thanks brother

[@Atkrdu]

Thanks, Sarge. Don't have an opportunity to experiment with all this, yet. I figure I'll stock up on knowledge & then I'll be able to "assemble" it into a skill when I have the chance. Good to know that the stomach is breathable, though- that one's been bothering me. P.S.- You ever hear of paleoplanet? It's a real good forum for primitive skills.

[@sargefaria]

Ya the past few were across the street from where I hunt........im not a big fan of "house videos" so I carry it all out to shoot vids like that and just putt around while there, cook etc

[@vikingjoe93]

Do you ever stay overnighter?

[@bearhauptmanful]

Thats a breakfast of champions right there. Plenty of calories and will fill you up. Sure wish I could get out like that more often. Nice vid.

[@sargefaria]

LMBO...yup I did. haha Great question man. I would have to o some more research on that. From wat I have read tho s far....I have seen honey a few times.......have not seen maple syrup, although im sure it was there. Good question...I will try and see what I can come up with on that

[@drcsep]

Sarge... nice music and nice meal... wheres the rice and beans bro? lol

[@sargefaria]

HHA....yup. Busy that day for sure. Agreed on the Italian MILS ; )

[@MrWoodsmen]

what kind of rifle is that sarge loved the vid brother keep um coming

[@woodsranger2007]

I would bring the pork to a boil, and change the water, and repeat. Then fry it. May be yours is not as salty as here in Virginia. Fall is here now and time to camp. Liked your vid bro.

[@MrMeddle2243]

Still have the Nesmuck ditty bag I offered to you if you want it. Would go great with this series. all I need is the address to send it to you

[@MarkNovy]

Not the instant coffee???? I have a shirt that says " I don't start working until the coffee does" Good video Sarge. Love salt pork. I think I would've gone hone but maple syrup works too. I have that container your MIL gave ya its from a set of oil and vinegar. Isn't it time for a deer bakstrap to be in that fire?

[@Nativesurvival]

gonna have to admit here maple coffee, maple milk, heck even just by the spoonful over here lmao man that sounded good, another thing i love to do is douse my salt pork in maple ; ) goodstuff man

[@gammondog]

I had my first taste of maple syrup when I was a teenager attending a track and field camp in upstate New York. I was used to the log cabin stuff so I found the taste to be awful.Then I realized that,being in New England,this was the real Ma-coy. So I made it a point to have it with my pancakes every morning anyway.I quickly acquired a taste for it and now I sorely miss it. It's not as sweet which makes it a much healthier choice and a tastier one too.

[@billyjoedenny]

fried muffins and fat back , good mix.tip for cleaning the cast iron bro, reheat on the fire and just and water in the pan and wipe out .it will stay oily . ..bill

[@sargefaria]

8x8...thank you

[@coopermarean3809]

I know what you mean. Its kinda hard to sleep not knowing if your going to be on the ground any second.

[@sargefaria]

yes....no leaven or anything else

[@sargefaria]

I have many times, yes

[@sargefaria]

thanks buddy

[@sargefaria]

I just could never get comfortable in one

[@bartholomewjenkins1546]

awesome rifle

[@davidclarke4040]

hi sarge food look good good vid all the best dav

[@sargefaria]

LOL! Season hasn't started yet man....im dying trust me. Nother week and a half

[@MysticDonBlair]

Where is your accent from? Thanks.

[@ssracer16]

I hope that is some genuine Vermont maple syrup Sarge! Great video as always!

[@DavidWestBgood2ppl]

Now you're cookin when you break out that fatback. Your welcome in SC anytime with good southern cookin like that.

[@sargefaria]

LOL! Bring on the cold!!! I love it

[@sargefaria]

Thanks man

[@ramsessilent]

looked great bro , oh and never to much water you just wanted more corn bread. lol gos long with the mind set that I may not always be right but im never wrong. ; 0p

[@sargefaria]

LMBO

[@sargefaria]

Thanks buddy ; )

[@SanDiegoSWOT]

One other thing about the salt I learned this year is the importance of salt. 4 days in the woods with little water, no food, and no salt is no bueno for the body. Uric acid levels spike. I _ALWAYS_ have salt in my pack now.

[@sargefaria]

HAHA...."bloody good" ....love it! Thanks mate

[@WhackyNomad]

Is that homemade salt pork?

[@lluisbrull4550]

You never take some wine with you?

[@coopermarean3809]

More axe videos would be awsome though

[@sargefaria]

not typically, no

[@sargefaria]

LMAO.....sometimes that's a technique as well haha. Most times I do pack it out tho. Idiots tend to use the same areas where I have my fires and such and leave their trash and beer cans etc.....so I just take it out so its hopefully clean when I return

[@carsiotto]

Where would I find salt pork?

[@accordio13]

Its in the supermarkets.

[@carsiotto]

accordio13 Oh wow, thank you! I never thought of that!! hahaaa smh

[@accordio13]

Salt pork really heavy on the fat. Consider as an alternative your supermarket deli bacon!! More flavor and leaner!!

[@spiritpath1]

Salt pork is like very "fatty bacon" (usually unsliced). Use it to flavor cooked greens, or dried beans (any kind of dried beans). Can also "fry it" too. Depending on what part of the country you live in it can be called "fat back", my grandmother used to call it "strickneen" (this is probably not the spelling but it is phonetically spelled).She was from Alabama, Georgia area. Back in the day you saved any good meat for Sunday dinner or company and ate mostly veggies (in the south) and a lot of Potatoes in the north and dried beans any time.

[@coolkat10001]

The catchers squat with my frontage is too hard on my knees. lol

[@sargefaria]

LOL....yup, thanks man

[@tomritter493]

your welcome sarg

[@sargefaria]

Thanks man. Ya.....I tend to even pack out others crap too, not cool

[@sargefaria]

LOL....right on buddy

[@sargefaria]

Thanks man.....it is actually public land

[@sargefaria]

be some more incorporated into future vids

[@sargefaria]

lol....right on man

[@sargefaria]

I let some others sit in water for a couple hours or so and it took a lot of salt out. I didn't care for it that way. Big fan of salt so.... These things are VERY salty.....why I only had 3 and not the whole batch! I would generally tear up a whole lb of bacon myself haha Thanks man
