The Rattlesnake Cave -Desert Survival- Catch and Cook

[@BobHansler]

Hey Group, Hope y’all enjoy this video. This was filmed in September, a few weeks before my fateful run-in with a Rattlesnake Bite. Recovering from the bite and daily rainstorms have us editing most days,. Many more videos to come. Until Next Time, Bob Hansler

[@roostermbakb6727]

Bob Hansler why don’t you show the dismantling of the snake. People need to know what to do. Great video though.

[@CenterStarsChannel]

Halfway through. Looks delicious.

[@iamyxuyxusee5320]

I have to try the snake with A1 sauce

[@iamyxuyxusee5320]

Puts some beer on that little sucker too.

[@iamyxuyxusee5320]

Coffee made ov3r a campfire is the best coffee ever.

[@iamoftheway7539]

Learning what you teach is priceless.. Never stop teaching..

[@CyrusCageSCWS]

Your pup is a beautiful guy. He's so loving and always on guard.

[@BeardedBored]

Rattle snake cooked in a cactus pad. Dang! Probably the most "Cowboy" meal possible:-)>

[@kellydees1938]

the only thing more "cowboy" than that is having to eat your own boot leather! The snake tatses WAY better!

[@rickd1369]

Bearded & Bored I know right, can’t wait to try it myself! 🐍 🌵 🔥. Hey, Bearded, hows that cedar countertop comin along? Can’t wait to see more of what you’re doin.

[@BeardedBored]

Burned up my chainsaw so I'm breaking in a new one. Should have some more videos out in the next week or so:-)>

[@rickd1369]

Dang, I was going to ask for a poulan pro review but ... enough said. Looking forward to seeing what you got though.

[@BeardedBored]

Never had a problem with the Poulan...until I put the wrong gas in it:-( I wasn't paying attention and ended up running a tank of regular gas through it. I'll have to replace the piston and cylinder at some point. New project!

[@johnbasedow8973]

That dog is livin it’s best life

[@darthantb]

That dog cracks me up. Picky little pup

[@lloyddeel4423]

Dude, you have to keep up the content when you’re able. You’re knowledge,positive attitude and badass best friend huck have taught me more than any book. I appreciate the effort put in and hope you can keep it coming. Kickass job.

[@diogobras5135]

14:30 doggy is like "eeewww omg he's eating it... grooooossss I can't look"

[@Nene_760]

Lmao how he looks away says it all

[@jay_tarantula899]

Turned his nose up at him. Lololol

[@RoguePreparedness]

Your pup is so well trained. I love the abundant uses of cactus pad. I read in a "survival" book once that "snakes are scary and don't bother with them (when it comes to eating them)." Literally, word for word. I've never eaten snake but I keep hearing it's good. Great video. I'm definitely interested in more desert survival stuff.

[@RyanSmith-re4ko]

Yeah that was never said, maybe in a girl scout book

[@lanah8678]

Those survival cards are awesome! Excellent way to carry around survival tools in with your credit cards! Rattlesnakes taste pretty good if you can get past the fact that it's a snake. Be careful of the head...even when it isn't part of the snake any longer, the venom is still dangerous. Bury the head right away. A small or baby rattlesnake is just as dangerous as a larger one. And if you see one rattlesnake, look around for another one too.

[@tornparachute5702]

Really enjoy watching your videos and seeing how much Huck loves you. Rescue dogs have hearts so big a human will never be able to understand. Stay safe out there.

[@mrhalfstep]

Bob, I forgot to mention how cool I thought that scene of the thorns glowing red on the second side of the cactus looked. Great videography as usual!

[@BobHansler]

Just wait for the next video cactus burn. Gorgeous.

[@gillettegaming7020]

John mony I agree

[@clarkeugene5727]

Bob, you speak with such confidence! Your calm instructive style is a reliable source of information. I have subscribed due to your honest, easy to digest teachings.

[@Bengal68mass]

Bob, among survivalists you are number one. Oher men could learn a lot from you. Keep up the good work and may God be with you.

[@WayneTheSeine]

Ha ha....love the look on your dog after you offered him some....."Nah......I ain't even gonna look dude." No way I would be sitting in there "knowing" there are other rattlers in there with you....no way. Great video Bob. Thanks for sharing.

[@cheetosortiz2783]

That one dislike is from Mr. Rattlesnake. May he rest in peace...in Bob's stomach. Jajaja

[@tonyaltobello6885]

11:56 Omg Huck on your lap sleeping!!!! I cant contain my love for that dog! Merry Christmas from New Mexico

[@justjackfromsc]

Cool video Bob. Your dog is so cool. He has the most kick back attitude that I have ever seen. Plus he listens to you. Thanks for the video. Hope you are doing good. Hope you are healing up after that bite. God bless.

[@vernseals4595]

Great videos, keep them coming. I see in your comment that you got rattlesnake bit, hope this finds you doing great. Brother I live here in the Tennessee hills and I was bitten by a timber rattler in a fishing run with my boys and wife. Its no fun. I drove us out of the cove myself, tingling, sick, sweating, and dizzy. Doc said it affected my central nervous system and theres no cure for that. I get nervous real quick, and I have nerve control issues but by the grace of the good lord I'm still here. I would love to be out there with you. I've always been better suited for the outdoors. My family has lived in these hills for over 250 years and the outdoors is where I feel more alive. I love watching someone else that loves the outdoors as much as I do. Keep up the work, a keep the love for the beauty that God created. God bless you and yours.

[@crosscountryoutdoors2472]

Your videos are far and above all the videos I have watched on survival, and outdoor living. Looking forward to a lot more. Can’t believe Huck doesn’t like rattle snake.

[@ronniemead805]

If Huck does not want to eat it, I would not eat it either.

[@lanah8678]

Maybe he doesn't like onions.

[@gregknight293]

................Good morning ......Please allow me to add a few more thoughts to my earlier comment which was done after my first viewing of this epic masterpiece . My first viewing/comment was done at 1:30 am this morning after a late night drive returning from my grandkid's football game.....I have viewed it twice more after sleep and during coffee..... ...............Yall have taken survival/historical videography skills to all new heights . When I refer to "yall " in my comments you know I am referring to you, Shawna , sometimes Brea, and Huck. With your efforts and artistic talents yall have ADVANCED video art Back through the ages to the days of the early hunter/gatherers of the desert Southwest.....Watching you and Huck kneeling at your cooking fire in a rugged cave gives me visions of the Indians of the region in that same setting, and I know Shawna is behind the camera . My hat is off to yall and, please....can't wait for your five day adventure......Thanks for taking us back in time with you...The drone footage is great too........ much appreciated !!

[@richardculbertson8027]

Bob I'm really glad to hear that you are on the mend. My thoughts and prayers to you and your family that you get healthy again quickly and your vision problems don't affect you too much

[@rezlife2020]

Hello Bob I am very glad to see u back I really missed ur videos. I will always be a fan of ur videos. Welcome back Bob

[@jerrygoshey322]

Thank you Bob. Your knowledge of the great outdoors, and your constant calm, collected demeanor are an unending inspiration to me. I sincerely wish a speedy recovery for you every day.

[@badger7950]

Really enjoy seeing a different look at bush crafting. Living in Southern Arizona myself, its good to see desert survival episodes. Speedy recovery on the snake bite, those are no joke. Looking forward t see some more videos. Huck looks to be the perfect companion, love that breed.

[@suzisaintjames]

I would love to see more desert survival as I live in the Sonoran Desert (Phoenix) and being stranded is a reality here. Sending you lots of healing love 💜 from sunny 🌞 Arizona 🌵

[@anthonymedina5186]

I'm in Phoenix also. A desert survival instruction is always important here in the desert southwest.

[@SerMacattack]

Yes please add more desert survival techniques most of the ones I see are all in wooded areas. I live in Northeastern Nevada

[@Flipindabird23]

Learning all sorts of useful stuff from this channel. Thank you for spreading your knowledge.

[@FowlersMakeryandMischief]

I Nice I like it cactus cook pot that's cool

[@sirdovahkiin7548]

Hey I bet that would have worked when you did your 30 days in Texas

[@vice6996]

I want to see all your content, Bob. So yes on the 5 day desert trip! So happy your eyes are recovering so well. Best survival and all around outdoor channel on the net. And not corrupted by big money or sponsors. Keep it up.

[@NUGGETSHOOTER]

Interesting video and I have also taken a bite from Tiger Rattlesnake in my case. Not fun and back in the 1970's no antivenom, ya just had to sit it out.

[@gabriel897100]

wait. what? i thought you would die from a rattlesnake bike

[@NUGGETSHOOTER]

@@gabriel897100 Most Rattlesnake bites are what is called a dry bite and you don't get the whole lode. Way more people that are bitten live than die, but it is a horrible thing to endure.

[@johndoe-oo4el]

I got bit by a rattle snake before too. but I died. you're lucky.

[@sameatspants4615]

NUGGET SHOOTER JOURNALS Hey! I’m a big fan of your videos, keep it up, you’re doing great!

[@chuckbodnar5756]

Please continue with this desert survival video series. It's the best I have ever seen. Just great. I assume this video was shot after the personal ordeal you went through Bob. Yours is a personal survival story that makes you so interesting. I was an avid hiker/camper and backpacker most all my life and my kids are all the same. A failed back surgery has landed my in a wheel chair fore the past 6 years. Its looking more permanent every month. I have to deal with it as you did. Your videos and so many others have keep me sane and still interested in new Bush Craft techniques. Keep the faith Bob you content is GREAT!!! Surviving in Hickory NC

[@bombproofbushcraft]

This was a fantastic video. I'm out in the eastern woodlands and continue to learn more about surviving and bushcraft, but thoroughly enjoy seeing how another environment creates challenges in survival. You have a gift for teaching, please keep the content coming. Great job as always!

[@ronniemead805]

Bob is or was a biology teacher.

[@tuckermoreland147]

good people tend to attract worthy mates. you seem to have passed that test. you not only live in a great place. you have a great someone to share it with. good on you.

[@craighalligan866]

Another great informative video! Can't say enough good things about this guy, he knows his stuff from start to finish..his dog is more knowledgeable then most people I know. Keep the videos coming!!

[@CLGravy]

Bob, it brings me a lot of joy to see you more mobile than you have been in a long time. I subbed to your channel about a year before your vision troubles started. I prayed for you quite a few times and everytime I watch one of your videos my 6 year old asks "how is Bob's eyes, Daddy?" Very happy for you my friend.

[@BobHansler]

Better. More vids to come.

[@charlesc4511]

Haven't finished the video yet, but i'm going to go out on a limb here and say Huck didn't eat whatever you made.

[@BobHansler]

Don’t know where I went wrong with him : )

[@Tick29]

Huck is such a placid companion but when it comes to getting rid of rid of pests/unwanted animals he does what is needed. Also I found your channel during the weekend and I can't get enough of your videos. I've learned so much and I'd love to get out and explore sometime. Keep up the great content.

[@chipking2765]

So good to see you back on KZbin again you sound a lot better and more happier just keep up the good work and I really enjoy your videos so thank you for taking the time to make am

[@warrenwall7095]

Greatly appreciated, somewhat disabled at 71,but you are helping me relive some of my past, thanks again

[@Will-io3lh]

You should do a video about how to make coffee or a coffee substitute in a survival situation

[@tenminutetokyo2643]

Will Check out Erik Normark’s cowboy coffee vid.

[@UnoCoolDaddyo]

Thanks for another highly educational video. I live in Central Texas, and a lot of what applies in South Texas applies here. I have been a Boy Scout all my life, 54 years young, and will always be a nature loving Boy Scout. You can take the Boy out of Scouting, but you can't take the Scouting out of the Boy! Thanks again, glad you recovered from your snake bite, and God Bless...

[@BobHansler]

More scouting and Texas vids to come.

[@loerabear]

Besides a dog and cojones, how could you get any sleep in that cave knowing there 'was' a rattlesnake around?

[@Christopher-yc1xk]

I’m a kid from LA, so watching you and Wooded Beardsman this is all new to me and I love it. You both have me very interested in survival living. Great stuff.

[@bgs5272]

Great shot of the cactus glocks on fire. Snake in a Cactus sounds like a fast food. Interesting and informative.

[@sadietrego6247]

That rattle snake cooked in cactus looks actually pretty decent meal and the soup I’d eat it. Thanks Bob good job Huck 👍

[@dwaynewladyka577]

Thanks for another great video. Hope you make a speedy recovery.

[@donboehner6005]

What I think is Bob Hansler is THE MAN! Great job Bob.

[@flywrite]

Hoping you'll do the 5 days of desert survival. Almost cried when you said the rest of the video footage was corrupted. Must have been a huge blow to you and yours.

[@Grakkl]

Always glad to see more videos from Bob Hansler. Can't get enough of this channel.

[@donny1boykie]

That was so interesting Bob.. What an amazing technique using the liquid from the cactus pad to cook that Rattler..

[@dannyramey7087]

I moved to East Texas about 15 years ago. I learned to survive in Minnesota and really enjoyed your video about Texas survival. The environments are so different it's hard to apply what I learned up north to here. Many thanks for your tips. I believe everyone should be able to survive without a grocery store nearby.

[@edkennedy497]

Hey Bob! Thank you for yet another great video. I hope you’re recovering fast and feeling better. That’s a real beautiful area a lot like Oklahoma. I’ve been rattlesnake hunting here and all I find are water moccasins. I’ve even crawled into a few caves and didn’t even find a skin. LoL

[@tifreakhachey]

That puppy is adorable!! Thanks for the upload Bob!

[@geoffreymitchell7344]

Nice to see you back Bob..... God speed my Brother

[@Chardok2]

Love this video - by far the best part was Huckleberry just snoozin' away while you were about to eat your meal. Such a good, good boy!!! :) Great job and WELCOME BACK! (Feel 100% better soon - that's an order!)

[@UncypheredRoblox]

im happy to see you back in action and back into the outdoors

Most men would stop messing about with snakes after getting bitten by one... but not Bob, nay, he believes in himself and has the grace of God on his side to not let one mistake and a bit of bad luck shatter his will.

It makes me happy that he's humane and isn’t reckless he is still respectful to the animals he eats

[@timkitzmann1814]

Awesome video Bob. Keep them coming . Fyi... fellow Texan here (north of Ft. Worth). If you are ever in the area, let me know. Have an awesome area for you to see.

[@leoa4c]

Its the first time i saw this type of cooking. It never occurred to me! The cactus will preserve the meat's moisture really nicely, the onion and the garlic will help with the cactus inherit flavour! I will definitely try this one myself!

I’ve always wanted to try rattle snake but every time we run across them normally when hunting were so far from a hospital we don’t risk it even if we have shot guns. Like you said no meat is worth a venomous bite.

Excellent video, Bob! I’m looking forward to seeing more. If you’re still up for the 5 day trip I’d watch that too.

[@ugotpwoned371]

I live in Central Oregon and we have the same problems with snakes and even scorpions, so much so that I’ve resorted to hammock camping in the summer and sleeping in the caves in the winter lol. I’ve ate a couple of rattlesnakes before and never seen one cooked in a cactus, that’s pretty neat! Love your videos, keep up the good work!
