Bushcraft Cooking: Scandinavian Woodsmans Lunch On 1 Meter Of Snow

[@roadoutlaw1172]

Smokin a joint while watching survival Russia! Life is good!

[@Schmidt54]

A cup of tea and a new Survival Russia video... the right thing after a long day. :-) Thank you!

[@SurvivalRussia]

Thank you very much for that Schmidt :)

[@mz.6109]

Thank you for all you do when it comes to teaching the older and smarter ways of our european peoples. Danke!☺

[@WyrdWoodsIreland]

I thought you were going to spoon feed all of us hungry viewers towards the end of the video Lars, so much so when you put the spoon near the camera I licked my screen, such is the power of rye bread and bacon. Great but hunger inducing video, Tak!!!

[@lesliepaulkovacs6442]

Thank you Lars! My Hungarian Father and Uncles would each have a chunk of Bacon like yours and slabs of Dark Bread during our American Cook Outs. They would just put them on Skewers and start cooking them over the fire. When the Fat started dripping, they'd just hold it over the bread, let it drip, then eat some bread, then just back and forth. When the meat part was cooked to their taste, they'd just pull it off the Skewer onto the Bread and have a Bacon Sandwich! Papa told me they learned how to that during WW2, but they'd just cut some branches off a tree and peel the bark off. No need to carry Pots, just a water bottle, matches and a pocket knife, plus the bread and bacon would be wrapped up just like you showed. Sometimes, the Old Ways are the Best Ways! Thank You Again!

[@SurvivalRussia]

Thanks for the story :) Most of the old ways are good ways :)

[@Shooter11B]

I gave your comment a thumbs up for the Hungarian angle! The bacon around the campfire dripping on to bread is an OLD OLD way of eating it. One of my favorites actually. Great memory!

[@bob2sticks]

Steven Szabo ......Steve , you dig Lars also ? Bob / Grizz

[@Shooter11B]

Haha, you know it Bob! It's cool to see you here also! Yeah, Lars is the man. A wonderful source of all kinds of great information and entertainment!

[@robpinter5431]

So good cooking like that...my Hungarian father showed me when I was ten...now 50 I still love cooking Spek that way.

[@edwardquin4464]

Whenever I've heard enough of the world's struggles I can take a hike in the Russian woods. Very grateful for the cold, fresh air and the great companionship.

[@sksupply]

New knife I made will be named the Gooder Awesomer.

[@SurvivalRussia]

Great name! :)

[@RobertsBulgaria]

Gooder ''Funky'' Awesomer with a Bla Bla Sheath would be better. wink.

[@sksupply]

Bulgarian Smallholding DONE

[@God_is_Justice]

I was trying to tell our friend that its just share not sub share but he's got his own style and I like it... bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla

[@hakrj12]

Jesus was a Carpenter ... it's a reference to one of his old videos. He's been doing it ever since.

[@TalksWithDirt]

Black rye is my fav. Esp with thick and shiny crust. Maybe one day you can do a video showing us a Russian bakery, and even store type bread.

[@malkucken]

Even if not much happens in your videos, I always look forward to watching them. Something about your charismatic delivery, dry sense of humor and the fact that you don't take yourself too seriously! You also seem so at peace on your land. Can you take us on a tour of your property?

[@ghostindamachine]

Man... that bacon... makes my mouth water...

[@ESTUDIANTESelpincha]

WOW, Sandvick steel just battoned throught that bakon like it was butter

[@scottsotak7906]

Mr Lars. It is so rare to see a video series such as yours. You show an equal balance between your survival way and the crazy family stuff. Its refreshing to see this. Plus, you include the family, which i rarely see in vids. Though i do miss that mustache you rocked in the early vids.

[@ecorey45]

love the food videos since i think campfire or camp cooking is fun

[@clecksbearclawbushcraft7942]

Black bread & bacon...tastes exactly like black bread & bacon. So funny Lars.

[@SurvivalRussia]

It did :)

[@leonardpearlman4017]

Those are good tastes! I never heard of this. Found some black bread and bacon in the freezer, I'm trying it tomorrow. Oddly, in Miami, FL, where there is no winter, and ice is something you buy. I really like to see how it goes in the snow, I dream of this! I cooked some buckwheat out in the forest after watching your video, it didn't burn and was really delicious. You know? I heard you say "Get out and train" a hundred times until I finally listened. I was just collecting "emergency" supplies, but not practicing.... So, thanks! You're influencing people on the other side of the world!

[@tyrroo]

This Canuckistanian thanks you for the great video and even greater info/advice on bushcraft cooking!

[@ImixSpb]

Cup of black tea with added lingonberry leaf (брусничный лист) would be a good addition to that. Oh yeah, bacon is best fried with onions. Приятного аппетита!

[@raygiordano1045]

I think it is very polite the way you thank us for our time.

[@SurvivalRussia]

I appreciate my viewers time :) Have a great weekend.

[@genegarren833]

😋😋😋😋👍👍👍👍👍Great looking meal and especially for outdoor winter cooking. Great job Lars!

[@SurvivalRussia]

Thank you Gene :)

[@hos-joubostokolos2488]

Smoked Pork Belly (Home Made bacon) Paprika (Pickled Yellow and red Peppers in a vinegar and oil pickling) Raw Onions Raw Tomatoes with white Pepper Dark Brown/Black Rye type of Home Made Bread - The way our neighbor (Mr.Polimac) made it here in South-Africa(He moved to RSA from Yugoslavia in the early 70's) ...im born,raised and living in South-Africa...but the Yugoslavian way of preparing and eating food is just awesome!!! Good video as always!!

[@SurvivalRussia]

Sounds good to me :)

[@yanknoz9710]

You put together an awesome video, each and every time. Bravo to you sir. You get gooder and awesomer with each passing video! Keep up the good work.

[@SurvivalRussia]

Thank you very much! :)

[@joelfarris]

I still giggle every time you say "sub-bell"! It's an amazing way to refer to it, and I don't know anyone else that does it. Perfect!

[@jpeters3053]

From now on I too am going to start using the cobble stone as a unit of measurement. Your awesome.

[@SurvivalRussia]

It's a great and accurate measurement :)

[@meat52689]

Love it all keep the videos coming the UK think there great

[@buckbuck22]

Epic Cooking and fire. I really like your modification to attach a handle to the pot lid and use as frying pan! Your awesome:)

[@lancechristy2595]

Butter and bacon... Lars, your a bad ass !!!!!!!!!!!

[@SurvivalRussia]

Healthier that sugar and high carbohydrate diets :)

[@bingbonggoat3244]

Always good to see the smiling face,the simple pleasures seem to be your fuel for life..& how right you are.!! the most snow we've seen here was on the front of a Christmas card...😎 stay safe and 💐🌹for the ladies of the homestead.

[@rikdekroon1862]

As always Lars nice and funny video! much love from the Nederlands.

[@SurvivalRussia]

Thanks :)

[@Shooter11B]

Simple, delicious, nutritious ENERGY! Great meal Lars.

[@garrettnelson9890]

I've been binge watching your videos. Now I'm hungry! Looks like it taste great!

[@SurvivalRussia]

Awesome. Thank you Garrett :)

[@stillwater62]

Bacon, with a biscuit crumbled up in it, and black coffee used instead of water. Bacon grease, or sausage grease, and black coffee mixed with it is called " red eye gravy " and I grew up eating it with eggs, and grits. You should give it a try.

[@FloridaBoyBushcraftSurvival]

That looks awesome. Try it on Tuesday in a canteen cup....

[@SurvivalRussia]

With a little salt and pepper it is really good :)

[@FloridaBoyBushcraftSurvival]

It looks like it. Check out my page...

[@lesliepaulkovacs6442]

Maybe someone else got to him. But anyway, whatever your Mess Kit is made of, that DESIGN from 1931 Germany is still AWESOME! It works much better than my US Army Cook Set ( which is basically a Frying Pan with a Lid). Plus, as a US Military Veteran (US Navy Submarine Service, 76-86), I appreciate Good Kit, no matter where it comes from. Keep on doing what you do. I know your "General Winter" has to Retreat for awhile, but at least you get to work on the Survival Vehicle during the Mud Season. Best of all things to you and your Family.

[@19ghost73]

Mmmmm...rye-bread soup with real bacon in it...we have that in Southern Germany, too, it is called "Brotsuppe". Hearty & nourishing while being simple & easy! Good that You brought me back my memories about this dish - cpacibo bolshoe! ATB Gereon

[@SurvivalRussia]

I did not know that Gereon, but now it seems kind of logic :)

[@19ghost73]

BTW Lars: Do You know how to utilize the hook & the 2nd notch in the bail of the Swedish Army Pot to pour out hot water without burning yourself? This Swedish pot is really well thought through. It is a much better way than what can be seen in your video at 9:37min...but I'm sure You know this technique, don't You? ;) ATB Gereon

[@VE3FAL1Fred]

Nice video Lars and glad you are finally out. Cabin fever sets in too often for this guy as well. Yes coming from a Finn family there was never a time we never had rye bread or coffee bread on the farm. Thanks for another video.

[@SurvivalRussia]

Thanks Fred :) Rye bread and coffee is popular in the northern lands :)

[@badgergearcompound738]

Hahaha!! “It tastes exactly like black bread and bacon”. Cheers Mr Positive!!

[@elwha6025]

Cooking lunch with Lars in the snow is awesome! Great stuff as usual

[@iberiksoderblom]

I know food like that from my Swedish ancestors. Exept we ad an onion as well. Can keep you going all day with a backpack even in minus 30-something. And of course you use butter! Its a Danish trademark :-)

[@PumpkinVillage]

Excellent video and a good looking dish. Snow is almost gone here in Vermont. Now on to mud season. Take care, Al

[@stevesheridan3511]

Bacon makes everything good, or as you would say, AWESOME!!!!

[@ajtaylor560]

"It tastes exactly like black bread and bacon", you give me a good laugh. Don't listen to those knife guru's!! I don't think they know you have some pretty nice blades. Great video thanks for making my day.

[@gusgone4527]

Another great video. Must have been fun in your section Lars.

[@MOUNTAINOUS]

looks like a good snack and fun time out in nature

[@tallcedars2310]

That's a unique pan handle you have there, food smelled great Lars:)

[@stephenfewson7188]

Thanks mate. The simple things in life are often the best. Love your videos man.

[@lonewolf2364]

Last night my wife and I watched Dersu Uzala with subtitles. It’s about Russian soldiers exploring the Taiga in 1909 and 1910 it reminded me of your channel. Dersu was a professional hunter who met and eventually befriended the soldiers He guided them across the tundra and I won’t say any more in case i spoil the ending, But there are Tigers.

[@KowboyUSA]

Even very simple food tastes delicious when cooked on meter(s) of snow.

[@SurvivalRussia]

That is very true John :)

[@jeffcooper9363]

John - "Meters of Snow" sounds like a poem in the making - " Winter comes and others are inside hiding, I will go trekking and sliding, out on the velvety snow, They think I'm crazy, maybe they're just lazy, as I go trekking and sliding out on the velvety snow, They sit on fine seats and talk indiscreet, blah blah blah blah blah blah, as I sit by the fire, my only desire, out in the velvety snow, I feel gooder and gooder, Food tastes awesomer and awesomer, out on the gossamer snow, Now it's time for sleep, I'll dream of the chase and not weep, out on the velvety snow, oh-oh out on the velvety snow! LOL

[@jackrim1]

awesome!

[@hemansr3893]

Thanks for another entertaining video Lars, You've got GREAT channel! AWESOME :)

[@SurvivalRussia]

Thank you too :)

[@bills6093]

Lars is like a kid at Christmas to get back in the woods!

[@mattbrophy1900]

Dang you Survival Russia (I'm saying that with love), I never started watching ads until you said you get paid when people watch the ads before your videos and you have said you don't have any sponsors or I should say you don't take sponsorship's. So, now I watch ads before you videos. Watching ads is my way of supporting you, since I don't have much money. I'm from the USA

[@SurvivalRussia]

Thank you very much! Being viewer sponsored is great :)

[@martinhagalen1705]

I didn't know that either so I will watch them from now on. But I'm watching older videos again and again and spreading word about this channel so that's my way to support. And I of course love the channel coz it's awesome! Respect from Scotland.

[@chaosvolt]

Seems simple but interesting, nice to see.

[@thee.c.r.gtherealmoftheunk3717]

From Leo : I have learned much about how Military personnel eat on base and in the field ! I'm really looking forward to tasting a russian ration ! I've seen every video ever made including one of your first ration videos featuring the Russian field 24 hour ration ! The first one you did at your house! Rations fascinate me ! I love to cook off trail and I'm very good at it ! Again thank you for all the time you have taken to make these videos ! It's really 2 jobs in one ! The Bush craft is fun ! Editing sounds endless !

[@mrr9789]

Hi Lars my friend! You seem so happy to be back in your forest, and it's great for us to share that with you!:) I totally understand the excitement we feel when we get back to unspoilt nature! Thank you for another fantastic video my friend! Take care:)

[@SurvivalRussia]

It's not that awesome basically living in the forest, but not being able to go there because of deep slush :)

[@mrr9789]

That must be very frustrating, once the ground "Thaws" as us English say, ha ha! :)

[@kennethvalerio3282]

Interesting extension on your cookware 👍

[@SurvivalRussia]

Standard issue :)

[@nicholasholloway8743]

the excitement of being back in the Forrest is just pouring from him.

[@SurvivalRussia]

Yeah, living basically 300 meters from the forest and not being able to go there because of heavy slush is not fun :)

[@robmeglaughlin325]

Inner tube is a delicacy in my country also.

[@whiskeypapa8842]

5:39 "I can smell inner tube. Inner tube is awesome!" LOL!

[@BernersVlog]

whiskey papa so did he put a bike inner tube in the fire to help keep it going? Lol melting rubber would help the fire I am sure.... please tell me he is talking about something not bike tire related and that it was something safe he put in the fire.

[@Ian-iu2tl]

Thanks again Lars...another inspirational video.As you say "get out and train and get it done"...good simple principle....Winter is kinda' wasted this year with a knee injury, but I am gearing up for next year and look forward to making a small wilderness camp here in The Great White North of Canada...Ottawa to be exact, where it gets Siberian cold.

[@leebumble]

AWEZOME!!

[@cscmolts77]

thanks for the video, take care

[@jamesortiz7544]

Another awesome video, thank you

[@nikolaandjelich1785]

thank you for this video :)

[@123karlw]

That looks delicious. Now I have to go eat something

[@scubaman2546]

Trees hanging up in the canopy. While we were clearing our property lines, this happened a lot. It felt like a (deadly) Road Runner cartoon (trunk chopped away; still hanging mid-air).

[@GreencampRhodie]

Great recipe. Those Swedish trangia pots are "awesome" (lol), especially the stainless steel ones; getting harder to buy now, so glad i got 2.

[@mauidoug1320]

I spent years hunting/camping in Upper Peninsula Michigan. When a tree falls and lodges, it's easier to start sawing from the bottom as the wood is stretching, pulling away from the blade, so no binding IF THE SAW CUTS ON THE PULL STROKE. At about 1/2 way up, a sharp blow above the cut will snap the tree in half very often. Use another, smaller cut branch, an axe handle or even the edge of a shovel. Don't jump on it as it'll be springy if it doesn't snap and might injure you. Far from civilization, safety must be 1st - especially if solo in the woods, which I always was.

[@michiganexplorer7945]

love that model of Mora!

[@SurvivalRussia]

Great little handy knife :)

[@hattyfarbuckle]

Liking the reversible camouflage jacket Lars !

[@Terry14.88]

Awesome lunch.

[@SurvivalRussia]

Better than it might sounds to be :)

[@unclebmcc6848]

Awesome video Lars.👍🇨🇦

[@icejunky806]

awezome! awezome! awezome! keep the knife and the saw, stay cool Lars. Cheers🍻

[@loupiscanis9449]

thanks Lars.

[@whomagoose6897]

So it's Good, Gooder and Gooderest. Been saying the wrong words, Good, Better and Best. My bad. This video is awesomerest!

[@fumasterchu12]

That was crazy deep snow, those shoes do a great job. I prefer the dark breads too, don't really care for white bread. Thanks for taking us along brother!

[@SurvivalRussia]

The snowshoes work well on this late winter compressed snow. Thank you too :)

[@MTwoodsrunner]

"Taste exactly like black bread with bacon" cracked me up Lars...atb...woods

[@halfbreedchuck3311]

Great lunch !!!!!

[@27dcx]

I know the goal is obviously to not have it happen in the first place, but maybe you could make a video on how to get the saw unstuck if the tree binds on it. That food looks simple but really good.

[@SurvivalRussia]

Just make a small wedge with your knife and used a branch as a hammer to open up the cut :)

[@rozaciroza171]

we have something similar, panada and popara, panada is with olive oil and popara is with grease

[@mr.stotruppen8724]

If you want to pour with one of those swedish mess kits without having to get a stick to pick up the bottom, hook the topmost hanger-bit into the bracket on the side.

[@SurvivalRussia]

Good tip :)

[@jjames8816]

Another great video, Lars..Nice your back out in the woods. We like our sour dough here in the Mountain states...Throw in some pinto's and spuds and you got a meal.Ha,Ha...

[@bricolagefantasy294]

It similar to "stuffing" basically bread, seasoning, and little meat. One can buy pre-packaged stuffing here.

[@ragnarlothbroksonofodin321]

Awesome video as normal and I also like the mora ....

[@udohirschmnn1479]

Hi Lars, Thanks vor your very interesting and also earthbound Videos. I always appreciate them. When you pour the water out of your swedish messkit, it looks a little bit awkward and dangerous too. But there is an easy trick to it, to have a save and stable way of Handling the hot pot in a secure manner. Take the hook on the bail and put its end into the metal lash at the side of the pot that is meant for lashing it to a pack for transportation. So you get the bail sideways and stable to handle your pot without risking a splash of hot water over your hands. It is not my invention. You can find a video in KZbin, about how to use this Type of kit correctly. So Long and have a good time in the woods

[@czechmate9591]

Love it what a great meal, cheers mate

[@RobertsBulgaria]

Bla Bla Bla Scandinavian Stew. I didn't learn anything new here and I don't know of any Woodsman that carries a chopping board in his rucksack, but I simply love the delivery and smile to myself for the whole 11 minutes of the clip wanting more. I thought that I was good in front of the camera, but Lars is a natural entertainer and no doubt knows his stuff. One day, we should take him out of his comfort zone 100 Kilometres from the Homestead and see how his humour will entertain us then and no doubt, he WILL. Well done Lars never a minute wasted watching your videos.

[@SurvivalRussia]

I almost always carry a cutting board :) They take up little space and a very useful for many other things than cutting, blowing air into a fire being one of them. Thank you for the nice comment friend :)

[@samcronk4555]

They make a folding/roll up type that is super cheap but works great.

[@jeffcooper9363]

I've got a thin plastic cutting board that doubles as a stiffener along the back in the ruck and also as an emergency snow shovel.

[@patriotpioneer]

Cutting Board...., are you new to this channel? Half of the time Lars carries a Cast Iron frying pan.......

[@juzuk8177]

Go and fu*k your self...

[@Hockeyfan9884]

Good Video, Great Grub. Nice Fire And Awesome Day.

[@swedish_woodsman7153]

Bacon i skogen! En klassiker 😊 👍

[@SurvivalRussia]

Helt sikkert!

[@davidhartenstine190]

I miss Deputy Dog!!

[@NvrchFotia]

The snow has stopped here and I'm glad it has. Not getting much warmer though.

[@SurvivalRussia]

I look forward to spring, but I need just a little more frost :)

[@dula4552]

Awsome Lars, thanks

[@anders1685]

THANKS

[@GaerHampton]

I never thought about carrying some inner tube for fire starter. A little roll wouldn't take up much space.

[@SurvivalRussia]

It's a great fire starter.

[@brettsteele7386]

I always use my cheap mora which is stainless steel for cooking and the small tasks. My bigger more expensive knife sits and waits for something the Mora can't do. No reason to damage the knife I will end up depending on in an emergency.

[@Kayakwinds]

In point of fact, most of what I do equates to "small tasks." About 90 percent of what I do, I can do with my model 8 Opinel. And that is usually the knife I use, since it is always with me--at work or play. The Mora travels with me into the woods, along with a folding saw and Opinel. I'm hard pressed to know what other blades I might need, even in an emergency.

[@frankszendzielarz6350]

Now I am hungry! But it is past midnight! Please do a woodmans breakfast instead!😊

[@roncline3120]

AHHHH Bacon is the glue that holds us all together....

[@guga_man]

When i first see u gonna cut tree i think of if you gonna try tu use bare hands as i mentioned before. but then when u mention about danger of falling top, i think that it might be not so good idea to try it alone in forest as you not wearing any helmet. And those food. i just finished my dinner but now i am hungry again. look what have you done :) also, i think garlic or beans could bring that dish to top level So.. cool video as always. Thanks a lot, Lars!

[@RM-io7qo]

That's it, it's truly awesome! What is, being in the forest and eating Rye bread and bacon after it has been cooked on a nice warming fire. Lars, I'm surprised that you're not beginning to have forest withdrawal symptoms before now? Wish that I had a forest to use, but England isn't big enough for any of us to own our own forest, bla, bla, bla. Take care...

[@TheDavewatts]

The Mora kansbol is a cracking knife I pinched the idea of carrying it on a webbing strap from you and the system works great.

[@reidycruise]

Your attitude is awesome 👏 great fun to watch my friend and I love ❤️ your shotgun ak style :)

[@SurvivalRussia]

Thanks :)

[@danielwhitaker9235]

Water logged rye bread with bacon. Yum Yum!
