[@lindacross4460]

I really enjoyed watching someone succeed at this! Many years ago (1975 or so), I tried to demonstrate bacon-&-eggs-in-a-bag for my girl scouts. I started, of course, with safety instructions. "If your bag should catch fire," I explained, while demonstrating, "simply take two steps back and lower it to the ground." All agreed they "got it." I then placed the bacon, broke the eggs, and began the real demonstration. As I positioned breakfast over a roaring campfire (the book I'd read hadn't mentioned waiting until the fire became embers), the bag burst into big, greasy flames. Panicked, I flung the thing back over my head and into the group of girls (who--and whose parents--were counting on me to keep them safe in the woods). Fortunately, no scouts were injured, but that was my first and last camping trip!

Cool. The bacon grease not only keeps the bag from catching fire, but also helps it catch fire.

An old homeless person once showed me how he made coffee in a paper cup held directly over an open flame. As long as there's water in the paper cup, it won't catch on fire. He boiled water in a paper cup, added instant coffee and to be honest I was kinda impressed.

[@baltsosser]

#10 can of peaches not drained, white cake mix (Box) aluminum foil, heavy pan, bed of coals. Line pan with foil, add cake mix, add in peaches and juice. Mix well. Close foil over top set in coals. Shouldn't be very long until you have a fine peach cobbler.

Sounds close to the dutch oven recipe. Really one of the finest cobblers I've ever eaten.

[@Pinion512]

Good stuff! I've boiled eggs in a foam cup before, but I've never cooked bacon and eggs in a paper bag. Thanks for posting! My kids will get a real kick of this.

[@frybry01]

Use a big grocery paper bag, you fit more bacon without cutting, use a longer stick and prop it up about 3-4in above the coals with the other end of the stick leaning against a rock with another rock sitting on top of the end of the stick so it stands by itself like a fishing pole(it's called bacon in a bag), Put a large flat rock near the fire(turn the rock so it's evenly heated), clean it, rub with bacon fat, and make a robins nest(make a hole in the center of a slice of bread for the yolk(but cooked like this it's called egg on a rock), that way you have toast too.

[@marcblack1]

I remember as a child back in the very early 70s, here in Canada, we had our very own female survivorist, she was on most Saturday mornings between cartoons teaching us free spirited kids how to live in the woods. Grab an empty coofee tin can, fill a tuna can with paper and soak it in wax, then use the paper bag to cook bacon and then the eggs... thank you for keeping it alive.

Good job! Thanks I design my fire ring a little different… I leave about 12 inches open on the up wind side of the fire ring. I come out from the fire ring on both sides of the opening with rocks to create a channel. I rake the coals into the channel for cooking. A grill can set on the rocks and coals can be raked out of the fire ring as needed. That way you can cook and still have a fire. 🔥

[@cedadams39]

One of my favorites is the zip-lok bag omelet. Get a pot of water boiling, crack an egg into a zip lok bag, add a bit of cheese, then any vegetable additions you like. I usually use chopped onion, chopped bell pepper and chopped tomato. Some people like chopped baby spinach leaves, and there may be other things you like in an omelet. Add a shake of salt and pepper. You can do as many of these at a time as you can get into the boiling water. Squeeze the bag a few times to mix up the ingredients and drop into the boiling water. Boil for three minutes, open the bag and pop the omelet onto a plate to eat.

[@dennismcginnis]

They don't make bags high quality enough to do that anymore. They melt nowadays.

[@BilgemasterBill]

Thanks for taking the time to get this up here. I could imagine this technique might be useful if one were, say, bike camping, and maybe not hauling a big skillet around...or maybe just because you can. Pick up some eggs and bacon in a paper bag at some convenience or other store before making camp, get that fire going, and in the morning stir the remaining coals up a bit, do that bacon and eggs in a bag thing, lay it on the coals, and in about the time it would take to pack up your gear for the day's travels it should do its thing. A potato right in the coals--no wrapping--is also a fine thing, but should maybe be put into the coals a bit earlier, since it'll likely take a bit longer to cook. You'd then get to ride off with a full tummy. By the way, an old cruising sailor's trick is to smear Vaseline onto eggs to keep them fresher longer without refrigeration. It keeps the air from permeating the shell, which is what brings the rot. It's not a magic eternal ointment or anything, but it'll keep 'em fresh for at least a few days. Vaseline rubbed into cotton balls also makes superb fire starters. I keep a bunch tucked into an old prescription bottle on the trail, so they'd always be handy to dress up an egg or three. Anyhow, thanks again! I'll be filing your hack and others described in the comments away in the noggin for later travels.

I can't think of a situation where I would find myself in the woods with bacon, eggs, and a small paper bag but not any sort of pan. However, I guess now if I do find myself in such a scenario I am good to go. Fun fact, pioneers used to rub bacon fat on paper like that to make them more translucent and would then use them as windows. (insert "the more you know" gif)

[@joeymontanez3249]

I know it's a long time ago,and I know you were being sarcastic and joking lol. But I always figured it was started as just something to show kids something fun that they can learn from. Teaches them they can improvise,teaches them about the properties of fire if you explain it,etc. I don't know if people started to take it a bit more seriously or what,but to me,it's still a fun thing to do and I can't believe how many people still haven't heard of it.

[@robiwills5026]

Great idea, can’t wait to try it. FYI your Buck knife needs sharpened, or you need a Cutco hunting knife, they will sharpen that knife anytime you want, for free, for ever. If you give that knife to your son, 30 years from know, and he breaks the tip off, he will get a knew knife. That guarantee for ever, is on that knife, it does not matter who owned it. My grandmother raised me, she had a set of Cutco knives, i know have them and use them in our camper, as i have another set in my house. I send them in every 2 years, they come back sharpened, polished and replaced if need be. And no, I do not sell Cutco, i just believe in them so much that nothing else comes close. I bought both of my son’s a set, and even though he has not opened them yet, by oldest sone for his birthday is getting the Cutco hunting knife with the gut hook, and the Fisherman’s solution, which is a filet knife that is adjustable.

[@kendelano6388]

Buck will also clean, sharpen and service their knives for free. Just had them do so with a 37-year old folding Hunter. Had it back in less than 2 weeks.

[@TOMPARKS10017]

Good video my man! I have actually had that meal before! The best way to have done it, especially with all of those rocks around, would have been to find a nice flat rock, or a piece of shale, rinsed it off, or not, and put it into the fire until it was hot. You can then take it out of the fire, and you could have fried the bacon, and all of the eggs that you wanted, over and over again for about an hour without reheating! That way you could have made the eggs any style you wanted, and fried the bacon crisp! I have fried fish, pheasant, and just about everything you could imagine on natural slate that we have here in Michigan. When my sons and I would camp, we made a pact not to eat anything we didn't cook over an open fire. I am 51, and they are grown now, but I am looking forward to doing it with my grandkids! Nothing tastes better than food you cook at a campsite! Peace brother!

[@icek9a]

+Sinfonian Barelytone It is a lot easier to hollow out an onion (leaving 3-4 good layers) and cook an egg in it, you will lose part of the outside of the onion but the egg gets nicely flavored You can also cook an egg in an orange peelOr hard boil an egg using a Styrofoam/plastic/paper cup directly on some coals :-D

Great video mate my way is to use tin foil . or somtimes a old tray from my toaster oven at home I usually save the steel tray when I throw out the old toaster oven it fit into your rucksack good along with the foil .Just get a few rocks with the flat side up if possible and lay toaster tray on top make small fire underneath also save actual rack from old toaster lay on rocks

[@loryadams1733]

When I first started watching this video, I was thinking, no way is the bag going to not burst into flames! I am totally shocked! Thank you for the wonderful tip, I think I'm going to try that with my little fire at home just so I can enjoy the wonderful smell it must have made.

One of my favorite ways to cook steak is by putting a thick layer of rock salt all over it and throwing the steaks directly in the fire. When it's done, scrape off the salt and ash and you got an awesome steak.

[@jcran42]

I remember doing this when I was in the BSA, fun experiment and survival tool. The haters commenting on this video crack me up though, as many of them have clearly never been hiking/camping. Backpacking is all about carrying multiuse items which could possibly save your life if something went wrong. I'm not saying I carry a paper bag with me on a normal trip, but you get my point. I do often carry fresh eggs with me though :)

[@NorthSurvival]

I agree with you, to many haters, this was a awesome trick. Do you like camping and the outdoors.

[@jcran42]

NorthSurvival If you're asking if I enjoy the outdoors, yes, I love backpacking/camping/etc. I like being able to live off of what I carry on my back and it's nice to have the skills and knowledge to survive if things went south (applies to both wilderness and "without rule of law" scenarios). Knowing things like this video shows could save your life, even as trivial as it is.

Hi There a few years ago I got up early one christmas morning the first thing I did I put the oven on, but it did not work. I had to think very fast five people are waiting for christmas day lunch. I asked one of my son to build a large bon fire using old fallen branches from under the trees. I seasoned the turkey with salt and pepper and wrapped it in 16 sheets of foil. when the flames died down I made a hole in the centre of the amber andd placed the package in the centre and pushed some ember over the top and time it same as I would in the oven. After 40 minutes I could hear it sizzling I did leave it an extra 15 minutes then took in indoors. It was the juciest most tender turkey we ever had and some of the skin crisped, a little burn on one of the thigh. My neighbour who thinks I am a bit mad told his wife I was lighting a bone fire on Christmas day.

Than rap 3-4 Layers of milliary Toiletpaiper or 2 of normal quality around the Fish, make the paper wet and lay it in to the glowing cools. 15min on both sides for a Trout is the best time. If you have some spice you can use them in the Fish, this is an amassing way, i do it like that ever since, the fish never gets dry, nothing is falling down salt and spice gets to the hole thing.

[@WeeJoe76]

If you find yourself outdoors and find yourself in a similar situation but have cardboard and some minnows (A type of fish wild here in bonny Scotland) we have a similar cooking method which goes like this; Place as many minnow as you can without stacking them any higher than one level across a flat piece of cardboard from the bottom of something like a 24 pack of Budweiser or Super Tennant's lager native to my country, open up a few of these small fish first and wipe both sides of the cardboard with the innards, take a few bricks of similar size (Approx 8" high) and leave to cook through for a good thirty minutes. After you are sure the fish skin on these tiny minnows is starting to peel carefully lift of the cardboard being extremely careful not to burn yourself, throw the minnows to fu*k and eat the cardboard, happy hunting

c.4.30 The bacon grease saturates the bag, preventing it from combusting, bursting into flame (or words to that effect). c. 5.10 '...Paper bag saturated in grease; ultimate fire starter...' A bit contradictory? By the way, is there some reason you did not film the most important part? The viewer sees nothing of how the bag looked when the food was supposedly cooked. That was conveniently left out of the video. We see nothing of the removal from the fire, or removal of food from the bag. Makes for petty poor documentation, and presentation as a "how to..." video.

You could bring the raw bacon and eggs for dinner the first night, or even breakfast the first morning on the trail. As long as you could keep it cold, which isn't that hard depending on when/where you are going, it would be fine. Then you could go on with your trip and not have to deal with anything from it. If you brought a skillet, you would then have to carry it for the rest of your trip.

Great episode and one I used recently in practice while camping and having lost our gear. Thanks so much for getting me out of a pinch.

[@TheCynicalDude_]

So, a paper bag soaked in bacon grease is the ultimate fire starter as you say. But when there's actually bacon in the bag, it doesn't ignite?

[@bluechaos17]

Camper logic.

[@originalShorai]

It's fat, not kerosene. It may burn well but good luck getting it started without just tossing it into the fire.

[@TOMPARKS10017]

It will if you get even a slight flame near it! As long as you are getting heat, and no direct flame, you are okay! Ever squirt charcoal starter on hot coals with no flame? All you get is starter fuel smoke! Once any flame is introduced, whoomp! LOL.......Any oil based fuel, like kerosene, fuel oil, diesel and the like are all the same! Hard to get lit, until it gets hot, and then look out!!...LOL

[@montycantsin8861]

The heat transfers too quickly through the paper into the meat for the bag to ignite. The meat is cooler, and absorbs the heat in the paper faster than the paper can reach ignition temperature. However, when the bag is empty, there's nowhere for the heat to transfer to except the paper and thin oily layer inside it, so it quickly combusts.

Hey, great idea and NICE JOB! A great tip for emergency camping, if you have to stop where you did not plan on, and get some food going:) My grandmother used to make hobo bread in a tin can! She would just mix up the ingredients and heat the can (which can be over a fire) and in a few minuets, you have cake or bread in a tin:) Old fashion food ideas from the poor on the road...etc. Cheers!

[@janetbrowning9089]

It's been so long since I camped out...used to go camping all the time with my late hubby...we camped almost every weekend...we would have our breakfast cooking on a cast iron skillet and then use the coals after breakfast for baking an apple pie...dig a hole, dump in some rocks and then half the coals, place cast iron dutch oven on top, with the pie inside...cover with the lid and place more coals on top and more rocks and bury it all and come back in about an hour or little longer and dig it up...you had the best apple pie you ever ate...we also did biscuits and cornbread this way too. I used to love going camping, after a long week at work, it was just so relaxing and fun...we fished and took nature walks, etc...we usually went with another couple that we were close friends with...we all had a blast back then. Loved the back and eggs in the paper bag trick...great video too!😊

@@CB-xr1eg LMFAO

[@TheresFuckeryAfoot]

I guess you mean a cast iron skillet for people walking from the parking lot to your “camp site”... for people who actually hike and camp, carrying a cast iron skillet on your back with a pack for 50 miles isn’t realistic.

[@bob-ny6kn]

@@TheresFuckeryAfoot true. I use a cook kit from 1980 (tin? stainless?) for boiling water for dehydrated stuff (coffee, tea, food). I fail to work up the courage yet to carry bacon and eggs for a week. Too heavy.

[@doubledragon9530]

It's easier to find a piece of foil today than it is to find a paper bag, and it works a whole lot better. You can actually fry up the bacon so it's crispy then pop the eggs into the grease so they cook up the way you want them, not just hard fried. Plus, you can actually reuse the foil if you're careful. But if you prefer limp bacon and hard fried eggs, go for it.

[@killerseddie8295]

crispy bacon? might as well throw it in the woods and start over.

[@jamsongs5808]

4:55 HE GOES FROM PUTTING THE BAG ON THE COALS TO HAVING THE FINISHED PRODUCT OFF OF THE COALS WITHOUT SHOWING US THE EGGS AND BACON COOKING AT ALL OR HIM REMOVING THE BAG. Could easily have burned the bag, fried up some eggs and bacon in a skillet, and we wouldn't know the difference.

[@listychick]

[@drServitis]

[@bobhope866]

Once you have a little more experience you might want to try a frying pan. They are made of metal and will not burn when cooking the eggs and bacon. But nice first try.

[@blackforestgrizzly]

[@ras4782]

[@sgdeluxedoc]

Paper bags are still quite common.. Thing is, after some thought, I realized that when off in the woods , when are you going to run across a paper bag? It's fine if you're only slightly off road,, then a likker store is for sure going to be nearby, or if your other halp gone and packed you a lunch. But for survivalists, I see three problems for those in the deep woods.... 1) No paper bags to be had.. 2) No hogs to slice up for fresh bacon, and 3) No access to fresh eggs (unless you bag a duck!) No 2 could be substituted with ("eheheh".. gonna find me a tasty Wabbit!), or even duck since they're so fatty. Just my 2¢

[@AlbertDolmans]

great surprise bacon and eggs in a bag ! Delightful ! Thanks !

[@feyHiker]

I've made bannock bread on a stick, you can find recipes on line, I think I used a Euell Gibbons recipe, you use a thicker stick, stir it in the bread dough to coat it then cook over the coals turning it to evenly cook. It's pretty good and a hit around campfires.

[@blipcat3382]

old boy scout trick, I learned back in the early 60's..............BTW if you have bacon and eggs with you, and you forgot to bring a skillet, then you better not be in the woods.

[@goopindog4627]

I wonder if you got a really big bag if you could cook a turkey?

[@NorthSurvival]

That would be awesome.

[@tensaantares]

the bag in the video is probably large enough for a cornish hen though, not a turkey, but turkey-esque

[@Chichi-qy2xl]

I'm just wondering why you would WANT to cook a full animal in a bag, a flammable bag, on a fire instead of either putting it on a spit over the fire, either whole or cut up, or cut up and cook it on rocks next to said fire. Cornish hen would spit roast wonderfully, I would cut up a turkey, either would be better with a good fire and natural smoke under than trying to disposable oven cook them. The bag is only because of eggs being liquid and no container to cook in. The hollowed oranges would work better, can even add the bacon to that. The bag didn't burn because of the bacon lining the bottom, just like a balloon filled with water not popping over a candle, NOT because he lined the bag with grease, as proven at the end with the admission that paper bag lined with grease is great for reviving fire. We all know grease burns amazingly.

[@iasimov5960]

Yes you can. I've done it. In an oven, of course where the temperature never gets near the flash point of paper.

[@andrewportukalian2951]

sure, as long as you line it with bacon! lol

[@SoftwareTheft]

Not sure I understand how rubbing bacon grease on a bag would make it fire proof. Wouldn't it do the opposite? You say near the end that a paper bag soaked in bacon grease is the ultimate firestarter.... seems like a big contradiction.

[@EvrttGrn]

I think it's more for waterproofing so the eggs don't soak in.

[@georgepurdy6493]

It is just like water in a piece of bark. Keep the "cookware" wet it won't burn in direct flame until it hits the flashpoint. Remember he was cooking over coals not in flame. With bark it is the same principle but the wood soaks the water up but will catch on fire if the part not wet gets into flame. Or ask a native American or other who lived that way how it works! LOL!

[@woodgrainstudios7321]

I caught that too...lmao

[@davidlowery269]

Don't knock the guy. It works and it's kinda neat. I like cooking on a flat hot stone and I like to use plank wood to cook fish on. I love cooking and enjoying are great outdoors. But some are right I never carry the brown bag. And aluminum foil is being linked to metal poisoning in people not a good thing. People are so outta touch when it comes reconnecting with are roots. If modern day society fails in anyways you should know old school tricks on survival.

[@IntenseAngler]

Mmm... a couple of fresh caught trout cooked on a bit Cedar over the ol' fire sounds pretty good about now :)

[@wishmaster2575]

Hopefully it never comes down to that

[@f_USAF-Lt.G]

David allen... Ok, so aluminum heated to a certain point emitts toxic smoke. If you ever did roofing, you know about steel sheathing (sheet steel). That is much lighter than carrying an iron pan... But there are ways to heat treat mess-kit cook ware, so it isn't a cleaning nightmare.

[@andrewportukalian2951]

A flat rock definitely sounds better than a paper bag.

[@fallingbomb7421]

[@len7970]

I learned this when I was in boy scouts. You can boil water in a brown paper lunch bag. The ones that come per waxed, using the basically same method as you used for the bacon and eggs without the bacon fat of course. The wax keeps the water in the bag and the water keeps the wax from melting and stops the bag from burning.

Great video. But I would worry about toxins in the bag. No telling what paper bags are made of and released when heated. I actually don't use paper towels in the microwave for the same reason. Something makes them white. In an emergency of course everything changes and I'd eat anything, including the greasy paper bag. : ) I'd probably wrap the bacon around a stick and put the uncracked eggs in the hot coals.
