[@Reallybigmonkey1]

I'm glad you liked it. I dont get to spend much time with dear ole Dad but I love it when I can. Thanks for watching my friend.

[@Reallybigmonkey1]

Thanks! Im glad you liked it. It was alot of fun hanging out with Dad. Ive gotten to spend alot more time with him since he retired. If you have time check out the other three parts of bowl cooking. They all use a bowl but the set ups are all completely different. Thanks for watching my friend.

[@Reallybigmonkey1]

Dad cracks me up all the time too, hes usually pretty quiet then he comes out of nowhere with a witty comment. Im glad you liked it bro. Thanks for the comments and thanks for watching my friend.

[@Reallybigmonkey1]

Thanks bro. I love buying gear and knives so, plenty of videos to come, ha ha. I'm glad you liked it. I wish I had my own T.V. Never a dull moment, I promise. Take care and thanks for watching my friend.

[@Reallybigmonkey1]

Thanks! I love to get comments like that, I try my best to show stuff that no one else is showing. I am thankful for folks that take the time to watch, I try to make it worth the time. Take care, stay tuned and thanks for watching my friend.

[@Reallybigmonkey1]

Thanks! I do have a great time hanging out with dear ole Dad. He used to live at work and I never saw him. Its cool to get to hang out with him since he retired. If you get a chance, check out the other three parts of my bowl cooking set up. They all cover a different process that very unusual. Take care and thanks for watching my friend.

[@Reallybigmonkey1]

Thanks! Im glad you liked it. Yes, it was cool of him to get to come along. He retired right before this video was filmed so he has gotten to spent a lot more time with me which is awesome. Time with Dad is time well spent. Take care and thanks for watching my friend.

[@Reallybigmonkey1]

Absolutely brother, I love trying to get the most out of any item I carry. Thanks for the comments and thanks for watching my friend.

[@Reallybigmonkey1]

It was great to have dear ole dad along. I spend a lot more time with him since he retired. The food was pretty darn good. A bowl cooker is fairly easy to rig up and great to cook on. Take care and Thanks for watching my friend.

[@Reallybigmonkey1]

Thanks! Im glad you liked it, Theres three more parts to the bowl cooking series if you have time to watch. I love spending time with Dad, he does still know a lot more than me, LOL. Thanks for watching my friend.

[@Reallybigmonkey1]

True survival isnt much fun, being prepared is a lot of fun. I hope I get other outdoors and camping. Thanks for watching my friend.

[@Reallybigmonkey1]

Dad is a riot to hang around with, hes mellowed out big time since he retired. The food was really good. I love red beans and rice. Take care Jim and thanks for watching my friend.

[@Reallybigmonkey1]

It is a pretty good one. I pretty much just have a few recipes that work and I stick with them. I'm glad you liked it. Thanks for watching my friend.

[@Reallybigmonkey1]

Yes, I have nothing but respect for my Dad, he did a lot of things in life that I couldnt have done. Thats great that you are going to get your Dad out in the woods. Nothing beats father son time. I'm glad you like the videos, Thanks for watching my friend.

[@Reallybigmonkey1]

If I was in a bug out situation, it didnt matter what I carried or had. I can improvise with anything I find. I'm glad you like the videos. Thanks for watching my friend!

[@Reallybigmonkey1]

Thanks! I'm glad you think that, it means a lot to me. Thanks for watching my friend.

[@Reallybigmonkey1]

Brother, it was good! I usually make a mess in the kitchen anyway, Ha Ha. Dear ole Dad says hello. Thanks for the comments and thanks for watching my friend.

[@Reallybigmonkey1]

Yep, I seem to have a different way of doing everything I suppose. Mcgyver would be proud, LOL. Theres 3 more parts to this series and each one uses a bowl but, in a different way with a different set up. I do love my bungee cords. Thanks for watching my friend.

[@Reallybigmonkey1]

Thanks man, I'll keep makin em, as long as yall keep watching, ha ha. Thanks for watching.

[@Reallybigmonkey1]

I do hate sleeping eating or cooking on the ground. The ground is for rolling up my tarp only, Ha Ha. Thanks for the comments Sepp and thanks for watching my friend.

[@Reallybigmonkey1]

Dear ole dad is a pretty cool guy. No matter what he says, I still have to listen, lol. I didnt hang out much with my Dad until he retired. He worked almost constantly. That was great that you did get to spend time with your Dad when you did. Ya just cant get those chances back , ever. I'm glad you like all my videos that much. Take care Karen and Thanks for watching my friend.

[@Reallybigmonkey1]

Cool! Im glad you liked them. I havent seen many people talk about using a bowl for outdoor cooking so I knew I wanted to show how useful it really is. Thanks for watching my friend.

[@Reallybigmonkey1]

LOL! Yep, dear ole dad is kind of a hard ass at times but hes cool. I need to get him to film more often I guess. Take care and Thanks for watching my friend.

[@Reallybigmonkey1]

Both of you grab some spoons and hop on an airplane, I'll keep it warm for yall, Ha Ha. Thanks for watching Mike and Josie!

[@Reallybigmonkey1]

Thanks! I cover a lot of subjects in Bushcraft and survival but theres a lot I havent covered so be sure and check out some of my friends channels on my main page. You may like a few of them. Since you watched this one I have to say the remaining three parts of this video series use a bowl but the set ups and cooking processes are all different. Im very proud to be one of your mentors brother. Take care and thanks for watching my friend.

[@Reallybigmonkey1]

Yep, I carry anything I need on hikes and short trips. The weight is good exercise, LOL. Hangin a pack in a tree is the only way to go for me. I hate setting it on the ground and getting it wet of full of bugs. Im glad you liked that and picked that up from me. Take care and thanks for watching my friend.

[@Reallybigmonkey1]

Thanks! I hope you have a very happy Easter too! Take care and Thanks for watching my friend.

[@Reallybigmonkey1]

Sounds cool. A wok may be better than just a bowl. Take a look at the other three parts of this video series if you get a chance. All four use the bowl in a different way. I'm glad you liked it. Thanks for watching my friend.

[@Reallybigmonkey1]

Thanks! Yes, the ole wool does a great job. I noticed during editing I had said orange but there was little I could do about it. I had no idea what I was thinking. when you made the comment about how yall pronounce orange "blue" I spit coffee all over the keyboard laughing. Very very clever, you made my day brother. Thanks for watching my friend.

[@Reallybigmonkey1]

Im glad you liked it, thanks for watching brother.

[@tonymoon5331]

Please include dear old Dad more often. Very entertaining. I've watched this several times. God speed brother.

[@Reallybigmonkey1]

+Tony Moon Thank you Tony, Im glad you liked it enough to watch more than once. I loved having dear ole Dad along on this one. He stays busy all the time and we just cant seem to get together much. Im always trying tho. Take care and Thanks for watching

[@Reallybigmonkey1]

Thanks Bro! Thats always good to hear. I love making these videos when ever I can. The cooking ones are especially cool. I love the eating part, ha ha. Take care and thanks for watching my friend.

[@Reallybigmonkey1]

Thanks! I hope you get the chance to check out parts 2 3 and 4 of my Bowl cooking vids. They are all different processes. Thanks for watching my friend.

[@Reallybigmonkey1]

Well, I do not like to show gathering plants, mushrooms or wild edibles because Im no expert on it. I know what I can eat but I dont know all the proper names and I dont like to show anything that could poision or even kill someone if the wrong plant is eaten. I never hunt or trap on videos because half the time the traps are empty and I dont like killing animals just for a video. Im also old and lazy so I just bring food, Ha Ha. Thanks for watching my friend.

[@Reallybigmonkey1]

You must be really excited since theres four out at one time, Ha Ha. Im glad you like them bro. thanks for watching my friend.

[@Reallybigmonkey1]

thanks! We try to always have fun in the outdoors, and we try to eat good too, ha ha. Thanks for watching my friend.

[@Reallybigmonkey1]

Cool, Dear ole Dad is a lot of fun to go out with, its just tough to get him to go most times. He hates the lousy spots I pick, LOL. Im glad you liked it, Thanks for watching my friend.

[@Reallybigmonkey1]

Thanks Bro! I do love cooking and eating outdoors. Heck, I am a better cook outdoors than in the kitchen, Ha Ha. Thanks for the comment and thanks for watching my friend.

[@Reallybigmonkey1]

Thanks, I'm glad you liked it. Those are OTB Desertlite boots, very very light weight and comfortable. I've wore alot of boots but, these are the only ones that are more comfortable than my sneakers. Thanks for watching my friend.

[@Reallybigmonkey1]

Thanks! I'm glad you like what I do so much. My Dad only fished, he never camped. I had friends at work that camped with these two crazy old guys that they called mentors. I camped with them and was hooked on the trips with them. I learned a lot and had a ball with them. Im glad I gave you the confidence to get out there.. Thanks for watching my friend.

[@Reallybigmonkey1]

Ha Ha, yeah, dear ole dad dont mind dirt one bit. And yes, the uses of a bowl are endless. If you get a chance, check out the other three parts. they all use a bowl but its with different set ups and different cooking processes. Thanks for watching my friend.

[@Reallybigmonkey1]

That's a good sign if my ideas are the "I shoulda thought of that" because it means they are simple, easy to do ideas. Ive used wool for years to keep stuff cool. The bowl is an incredible piece of gear and there's three more uses for it in the other parts of this series. I used a Kabar Cutlass in this video so you must be referring to my giant homemade machete. As far as I know, no one is making one as big as that beast. It comes in at 3 pounds. Thanks for watching my friend.

[@Reallybigmonkey1]

Thanks! I'm glad you liked it. Dad did a good job for a 70 year old behind the camera. Hey, what can I say. The tomato was there with no name on it, lol. Thanks for watching my friend.

[@Reallybigmonkey1]

Wow, Thanks man! I dont know about the master part but, I'm a master at eating too much, Ha Ha. Thanks for the comments and thanks for watching my friend.

[@Reallybigmonkey1]

Yes, very easy to cook in because its wide open and easily adjustable to the flame height. Thanks for watching my friend.

[@Reallybigmonkey1]

Yes, I have nothing but respect for him. He had a rough life when young but he didnt let it stop him from living life right and being successful. Thanks for watching my friend.

[@Reallybigmonkey1]

Oh man, no pepper sauce on the trail! Ha Ha. I save that stuff for when Im laying around at how. LOL. Im glad you liked it bro. Thanks for watching my friend.

[@Reallybigmonkey1]

I think I can make a cookset out of just about anything, new or old. Thanks for watching brother.

[@Reallybigmonkey1]

wow, thanks man! I just have spend so much time in the outdoors, I know how to cook pretty well now. I never film the screw ups I make, Ha Ha. thanks for the comments and thanks for watching my friend.

[@Reallybigmonkey1]

Thanks bro! The ole bowl is very under rated as a cooking tool. Be sure and check out parts 2, 3, and 4 if you have time. They are all different set ups. Thanks for watching my friend.

[@Reallybigmonkey1]

LOL, ah well, you know how it is. with some Dads, you never can stand up to them. What Dad says, goes, Ha Ha! Im glad you liked it bro. Thanks for watching my friend.

[@Reallybigmonkey1]

Thanks brother. I make and use a bunch of different cook sets. Theres three more videos on different methods using this stainless steel bowl. I never sell gear. I just dont have time to make any. Thanks for watching my friend.

[@Reallybigmonkey1]

It would be a trip you'd never forget brother, Ha Ha. I never mentioned the thumb in a video, I think just the comments. About a month or two ago, I was beating a dent out of a quarter panel on a truck and I smashed it directly with a sledge hammer. It aint better yet. Go get you some beans and sausage this weekend bro. Ha Ha. Thanks for watching my friend.

[@Reallybigmonkey1]

Bring a big appetite too, Ha Ha. Thanks for watching my friend.

[@Reallybigmonkey1]

Cool, I love making these cooking vids. theres so many people that just settle for lousy food when in the outdoors. I love cooking as much as eating, Ha Ha. Yes, make a video on how you would make a tasty meal outdoors. Take care and thanks for watching my friend.

[@Reallybigmonkey1]

I always buy them dried beans in a bag. I put a few in small gatorade bottle to carry and the day before I cook em, I add water and let em soak. You can carry a ton of them dry. Thanks for watching my friend.

[@Reallybigmonkey1]

Thanks man! Yeah, since dear ole Dad retired he doesnt mind doing this kinda stuff with me. I love spending time with him in the outdoors and just eating and talking. thanks for watching my friend.

[@Reallybigmonkey1]

Well, last time the food wasnt as good. You start cooking plenty of good food and Dear ole Dad livens up alittle, Ha Ha. I love cooking with that set up, its simple and fun. I'm glad you liked it, Chat later and Thanks for watching my friend.

[@Reallybigmonkey1]

LOL, "feel dirty" you kill me. Man, I love sausage. I was raised on sausage eggs and pancakes. I still love it all till this day. It was pretty good. Thanks for watching my friend.

[@Reallybigmonkey1]

Thanks! I'm glad you liked it, Those bungees make it very very easy to adjust the bowl to flame height. Thanks for watching my friend.

[@Reallybigmonkey1]

Thanks! LOL, yep, dear ole Dad doesnt mind crap in his food at all. He pretty much grows and cans everything he eats now that hes retired. He makes one incredible vegetable soup. Thanks for watching my friend.

[@Reallybigmonkey1]

Thanks! He is a pretty cool guy. Hes more fun to hang out with since he retired. LOL. Thanks for watching my friend.

[@Reallybigmonkey1]

thanks, I have a fondness for red beans and rice. The sausage and all the tomatos just blend together perfectly! Thanks for watching my friend.

[@Reallybigmonkey1]

Dear ole Dad surprised me, he has only used a camera a few times in his life. Hes kind country hick, ha ha. I usually take him or my son Nick but, theres still places I go that they wont go. thanks for watching my friend.

[@Reallybigmonkey1]

I love red beans and rice. I hated to show this same recipe that I showed before but, it was a part of the 4 part bowl cooking series so I showed it again. They sell spicy sausage here, I tried it once and it was alittle too hot for me. I always buy the mild and just add the spices to the whole mix to make it just right. I added fresh garlic once and it ruined it, yuck! Thanks for watching my friend.

[@Reallybigmonkey1]

Ha Ha, I do like both kinds of camo. I also think on the newer ACU pants, the pockets are made better and in a better location. I always get flack over the Do-rags, LOL. thanks for watching my friend!

[@Reallybigmonkey1]

Cool, you'll love it, A big stainless bowl and a few additions and theres nothing you cant cook. Thanks for watching.

[@troyyarbrough]

I like the bungie cord system with the bowl. BTW - Thanks! Now I'm hungry. I love beans and rice... especially with some sausage cooked in. mmmm mmmm

[@Reallybigmonkey1]

Preston Yarbrough Thanks Preston. Man that bungee system does work great. I love using it. Anytime I have sausage handy, Ill add it. I made red beans and rice once with Gator meat an it was fantastic! Thanks for watching

[@Reallybigmonkey1]

ha ha, what can I say brother? Ive been busy at work. Hey, international paper did buy us out and we are still running, Yay! Hope alls well with you Brian. Thanks for stopping by and thanks for watching my friend.

[@Reallybigmonkey1]

I hate salt, I never use it. I do use pepper at times tho. Dad did pretty good with the camera for a 70 year old. Im glad you liked it, Thanks for watching my friend.

[@Reallybigmonkey1]

I cant remember if they were red or not. with any dried beans I use, I soak them in a water bottle the night before. Its usually an old gatorade bottle. Thanks for watching my friend.

[@Reallybigmonkey1]

Thanks man, Hes got the same sense of humor as Nick, Always picking on me, Ha Ha. Im glad you liked it, thanks for watching my friend.

[@Reallybigmonkey1]

Ha Ha, yeah well, not many folks need bungees and carabiners to cook a meal. Im glad youre checking out all the bowl vids. theres a different set up in each video but all use a bowl. Thanks for watching my friend.

[@Reallybigmonkey1]

Thanks! Im glad you liked it, Yep, Dad does good work for a 70 year old guy. There was a bunch of bad habits Nick was doing with the camera and I kept asking him to pay attention and he never did. He doesnt even run the camera anymore, I have to do it myself now. Thanks for watching my friend.

[@Reallybigmonkey1]

Ha Ha, Believe me, Nick and I have had plenty of Mr noodles in the past. You just have to figure out how to store and carry just the right foods to cook. I gotta keep up my energy, I gotta eat. Ha Ha. Thanks for watching my friend.

[@Reallybigmonkey1]

Absolutely! I love that knife. I was very very happy to have seen where Cold Steel had made it because years ago a friend of mine had one shaped just like it with a handmade wooden handle and a leather sheath. Thanks for watching my friend.

[@Reallybigmonkey1]

Dear ole Dad can be kinda primitive at times, Real men eat whatevers in the pot, Ha Ha. Hes alot of fun to be around for sure. I had to develop a knack for cooking because Nick eats so much, ha ha. Im glad you liked it Rob, You have a good weekend too bro. and thanks for watching my friend.

[@Reallybigmonkey1]

It is man, Something about stewing all the ingredients together in that bowl gives it a different flavor each time. Its always a treat. Thanks for watching my friend.

[@altheliterate]

Yes sir, a man that respects his father. I thought we were a dying species. God bless you SIR.

[@ronhart288]

That's great that your dad had time to spend with you in the woods. I would take my dad deer hunting, buy him coffee with breakfast sandwich. He never complained about being cold. I miss him now, but glad we always spent time together. I'm glad for you. Nice afternoon meal and time well spent with your father, wish him happy Father's Day for me this year. Thanks

[@Reallybigmonkey1]

+Ron Hart Thats great to hear you got to spend good time with your Dad. For years and years my Dad pretty much lived at work and he didnt have a lot of time to spend with me. After he retired, we hang out a lot. I always tell folks cherish your parents while you can, when they are gone, they are gone forever. Take care Ron and Thanks for watching Brother.

[@Reallybigmonkey1]

Cool, Im glad you liked it. It certainly is an easy way of cooking and not burning the food or getting it too hot. Take care and thanks for the comments.

[@Reallybigmonkey1]

Thanks! The ring is very very helpful for being able to take the bowl in and out but, you can get by with just holes in the bowl. Be sure to use some wire or steel cables between the bowl and carabiner to protect it from the fire. The eatin plate came from and old boy scout mess kit. Check out parts 2 3 and 4 if you have time. All the bowl set ups are different but all use a bowl. Take care and thanks for watching my friend

[@Reallybigmonkey1]

Oh I do, I love making these videos. It seems like its hard to find time to tho. Im glad you like them. Yes, RIP Julia. I used to love to watch her show. She had such a cool accent. Thanks for watching my friend.

[@Reallybigmonkey1]

thanks man! I love cooking with that bowl, one weekend Nick and I kept a fire going with the bowl set up under a tarp all weekend. the fire never went out and we just kept dumping in food and eating all weekend. It was very easy cooking after the first set up. Thanks for watching Mark!

[@Reallybigmonkey1]

Thanks! Dad is almost as nuts as I am, ha ha. He has mellowed out big time since he retired. I'd say a big no on using rope in the place of bungees. You would have to tie, untie, and retie the rope to adjust to the flame. With the bungees, you can adjust the bowl to flame height very easily. Thanks for watching my friend.

[@Reallybigmonkey1]

Thanks man! I can remember back in the early 90s when a friend showed up for a camping trip with red beans and rice. I thought yuck. I had never heard of a red bean. I tried it, I think with spicy sausage in it and wow! I was hooked. It is a good combo. Thanks for the comments and thanks for watching my friend.

[@Reallybigmonkey1]

It surprised me, he hasnt touched a camera but about 3 or 4 times in his life, he did really well. The cook set is a gret thing to have, theres not much you cant cook with it in any situation. Thanks for watching my friend.

[@Reallybigmonkey1]

They make you snack, dont they? Ha Ha. Thanks for watching.

[@Reallybigmonkey1]

Thanks man, it does just about anything I need it to and its cheap. I bought that bowl at a yard sale even. Thanks for watching my friend.

[@Reallybigmonkey1]

Thanks man, its good to be back. I spent three weeks living at work. That was way too long for me, Ha Ha. The food was very tasty. Take care and thanks for watching my friend.

[@Reallybigmonkey1]

Sounds great brother! Yes, theres lots more to outdoor cooking than the norm. I hate cooking in the summer heat myself. During the winter dang near every meal is cooked outdoors round here. Thanks for watching my friend.

[@Reallybigmonkey1]

Ah man was it good! Thanks for watching my friend.

[@Reallybigmonkey1]

I have never heard of that before. Thanks for watching my friend.

[@joelvansickle3623]

Dad, "Is that from my garden???" 😂 Dave, speechless 😶

[@Reallybigmonkey1]

Lol! I can NEVER admit to dad that I've bought tomatoes before!

[@Reallybigmonkey1]

Ha Ha, High on the "Hog" How true how true. I love alligator and deer when I can get it but, I really really love sausage in the pot on everyday hikes and cook outs. Thanks for watching Robin my friend.

[@Reallybigmonkey1]

Over a month ago,maybe two, I smashed it with a sledge hammer while working on a truck. Man, Talk about hurting, it still looks bad. I think I remember you cooking with a bowl in a few videos. It works great dont it? We cant always have ground fires here during the summer. Thanks for watching Tim.

[@Reallybigmonkey1]

It is a very good recipe for the ole campsite. I have used alligator in it before and its really good that way. Thanks for watching my friend.

[@Reallybigmonkey1]

LOL, thats always a good thing to hear! When a cooking vid makes you hungry, then it has done its job. A lot of them do that to me too, Thanks for watching my friend.

[@Reallybigmonkey1]

I am not sure exactly what type it is but. it is some sort of military dual magazine drop pouch I think. It was a gift sent to me by my friend T.J. Its waterproof, heavy duty and the fact that its dual makes it easy to strap to a tree. If I find out the real name, I'll post it here. Thanks for watching my friend.

[@Reallybigmonkey1]

It sure is. Dad spent alot years living at work, working tons of overtime so I didnt get to hang out with him much. Since hes retired hes alittle more prone to having free time . Ya gotta enjoy life while you can. Thanks for watching my friend.
