Catch And Cook A Pizza In The Dutch Oven and How To Start A Fire With A Bow Drill (87 days Ep. 28)

My favorit food is pizza and out on Alone it was the only food i thought of. As i cooked my fish head soup i would sing to my self "fish head soup i wish you were a pizza, Fish head soup To bad you Taste like Poop." Then I would sing About all the different toppings I wanted to put on my pizza when I got home. So the other day I got Dutch oven out Pick up a pizza dough from the grocery store and some cheese and pepperoni And Headed up to the shelter to see if i could make a pizza in the dutch oven. Let's just say it came out a bit crispier than I intended ;) And while i waited for that to cook i worked on making my own primitive bow drill set. The plan was to show you all how to start a fire with a bow drill. Which I sort of Did with the bed of mixed results. It's not easy to start a fire with the bow drill you make yourself If you don't have the right materials. There is definitely a learning curve to starting a fire with a primitive bow drill.

I am totally with you on the garlic. I've tried some of the "easy" peeling ideas and they don't all work, and you still end up with sticky fingers from the garlic. Dyslexia runs in my family so I can appreciate how hard it is to work around. My dad has it bad enough he never really learned to read so we grew up reading for him and listening to his audio books as he worked. The funny thing is that as we all grew older we also found out that ADHD runs in our family and they often run hand in hand.

[@valeriechaumeziere377]

Yep me again! I love pizza too and it ain’t hard to make your own dough. Part of my cooking kit is a small digital scale for accuracy. They are light, cost nothing and the battery lasts for weeks. For two 10” pizzas, 300g plain flour, 3g instant yeast, 5g salt, 210 mills water (70% hydration), mix and knead until smooth and elastic (takes 12 minutes!), cover in an lightly oiled freezer bag and let it double over night. Job done. My camp fire is organized as follows. The main fire sits in the hearth being fed with logs providing light and heat and when I want to cook something I rake glowing embers across to the side for grilling, spit roasting, or pot roasting in the Dutch oven. It’s easy to control the heat that way. Works a treat. I also have a wooden pot hanger set up for boiling water etc. With your set up, I think I would have heated up the Dutch oven beside the fire and put the pizza on the baking paper and onto the upside down lid! Then lower the upturned Dutch oven down on to it. Let’s say the temp inside the oven was 250c to 300c your pizza would be cooked in less than five minutes. Lift the the oven off and there is your pizza ready to go. Easy! My long term camp also has a clay oven which I built a few years ago out of rocks, wood, sand, clay and straw. It takes about an hour to get hot for pizza and as it cools down, I can bake bread, pies, bean stews etc etc Great for smoking too. When it’s really cold, I use the clay oven as a refrigerator too. It is really thick and solid and the wood door keeps mice or martins etc out. Home from home

[@Downeastwaves]

You are an amazing cook. You are one of the few youtubers who actually know how to make a fire - so funny to watch those who carefully and precisely stack one stick at a time into a little log cabin.

[@georgebain683]

With regard to heating and cooking in your Dutch oven... more heat on top than on the bottom is better for baking. Setting the pot in the coals makes it harder to control the heat. Pull coals out with your shovel and put a layer underneath the pot, twice as much on top. With charcoal, I double the diameter of the pot to get the total number of briquettes needed, 1/3 on bottom, 2/3 on top.

[@MSMcKenzieJr]

Really enjoyable to watch.

[@slingshotwarrrior8105]

[@fritz3548]

what works awesome as a bowdrill socket is using a micarta or g10 knifehandle and drilling a slight slight hole in the middle with a big 3/4 or 1 inch drill. you will allways have a part of your bowdrill set with you.

[@FowlersMakeryandMischief]

Knifemaking with Fritz ya a designate block with a polished socket make a big difference

[@HamsterLife_EnglishLearning]

For all you men out there, you can buy a bread maker to make the pizza dough and freeze it until several hours before you want to make a pizza. You were too busy to remember the pizza, but who would have thunk it would be done that quick. Great job on the happy face lolol too cool!

[@Laugh1ngboy]

Magic number for pizza is 10 to 15 minutes. Takes longer if you don't preheat the oven. He should have placed the pot on the fire, lid near the fire or with coals on the top. Then started his cook prep, cut all ingredients opened all canned goods , sliced toppings. Then formed the dough and paper in the warmed oven. Added toppings and lid and been eating before he got the bow made for the fire starter ready. You just have to be careful around the hot oven.

After you make 20 or more bow drill sets and literally hundreds of fires with a bow drill, it will become as natural as lighting a bic lighter. The top of that pizza looked perfect. Gr8 video. Im working my way through all of your vids. I dont comment often, but i will be watching. Gr8 editing, i know it takes a lot of time.

[@MyRadDesign]

Works better to not notch the board right away. Make a divot for the drill and burn the drill and board together until they are mated well making nice brown dust. Then save that dust and cut the notch. Put the dust in the notch and continue to use the bow drill until an ember forms. The notch is there to allow air to get to the very hot dust being formed which causes the ember to light when it gets hot enough. The pizza looked awesome!

[@pacificbushcraftandfirecra6358]

I guess I have been watching you long enough now to know how you think... When I saw that burnt, charcoal, disk left from your pizza, I was thinking, what a great slingshot target! and BAM! Hahhahah Great 87 Bud!

[@debonairedragon]

I think the problem with the base was you still had actual flames licking the sides and bottom of the Dutch oven to start with. If it had just been on a well burnt down bed of coals instead it probably would of turned out fine. The spindle you cut looked a little short too and that's why it kept popping out of the bow. Thanks again for another great video. I hope you and your girls are doing great 😊

[@stevecarrique1660]

Your choice of wood for the spindle and fire board is very important. Cedar is probably not a good choice. Both should be a very soft wood. Where I live, a Yucca flower spike is awesome.

[@ThatGuy_Hunter]

I don’t know much about bowdrills but I’ve always thought it would be neat to be able to start a fire with one. I have a suggestion that makes sense in my own head and maybe you could give it a shot, when the spindle keeps flying out of the bowdrill it looks like the paracord you used was stretching to much and it was causing it to lose grip on the spindle shooting it away. Maybe tighten the cord up and see how it helps? 🤷🏼‍♂️🤔😀
