Cooking In Bear Country 2018 (4.5 Liter Backpack Pot)

[@stillnocouch]

Who among us Lars' fans here wants to do an 'Awesome' Drinking Challenge ??? Every time he says 'Awesome', we have to drink. FYI: There were 23 "Awesome's" in this video. Experienced drinkers only. Playing the 'Survival Russia 'Awesome' Drinking Game may/will be hazardous to your health/liver, etc. "Get out there, train and get it done" !

[@SurvivalRussia]

Please don't do that :)

[@Blueswailer]

Hahhah, that's like playing the "Manowar drinking game." Any time Eric Adams sings the word "power", "metal", "kill" or "king" you take a drink. Back in the day as 19-year olds me and a friend tried playing the Manowar drinking game watching one of their shows. We were completely fucked by the end, I don't want to remember the hangover. Just don't listen to "Kings of Metal" with these rules without a life insurance and someone present to pump your stomach.

[@charleswalter2902]

I'd be shit faced after 3 minutes.

[@VIPER410]

If it's vodka absolutely :)

[@johnwakamatsu3391]

I like your comment about home gardens and supermarkets not selling too much vegetables during the summer. I live in Los Angeles and would starve without supermarkets because we have very small or no gardens in the backyard. The houses generally have small yards and very few neighbors plant vegetables. I have a number of citrus trees and grow Japanese vegetables but, not enough to feed the family.

[@norton750cc]

Its also called dill here in scotland, great for pressing salmon like gravlax. The soup looked great, just asking for some rye bread to soak it up. Eating some dirt is fine with me, first potatoes lifted today, just one plant which was wilting, got a pound of nice clean spuds, no peeling or cleaning required, the skin is where most of the nutrients are found they say. Around 30c here today, thats not normal, no rain either for a long time, normally watering the garden is not necessary, but is a daily job this summer...Hey ho , thats summer for you.....Lets see what winter brings? Might be payback time?

[@LWTUA120609]

In Germany these kind of soups are called Eintopf (literally meaning "one pot"). Where this name comes from is clear, you just put all you have into one pot and voila, it´s done and yummy. I just love them, esp. when it is colder.

[@SurvivalRussia]

Yes I know them from German supermarkets :) Nice with yellow peas and Wurst :)

[@jmber27]

LWTUA120609 Genau 👍

[@benroper294]

Yes, dill is a herb 🌿 used in cooking

[@SLFYSH]

You’re right about the hard part-especially when you’re hungry! I hate burning my tongue and roof of my mouth.

[@nathanadams8976]

Meals cooked over a fire are always best. Even better the fresher the ingredients.

[@SurvivalRussia]

True story buddy.

[@arcegafrancis8359]

yeah. even rice cooked on fire is so good...

[@calvinmientke3539]

Fresh dill already? How about a garden tour?

[@florianalbrecht7136]

Boy I am getting hungry watching you cook! Thanks for sharing!

[@outpost2996]

Almost felt the aroma of soup and fire. Finally have the little vacation, that could be spent on real camping. Too tired from seas and barbeques in local dendro-park. Thanks for emotions, Lars. You give life.

[@jamesellsworth9673]

Yes, it is 'dill' in English. Dill is also great with potatoes and sour cream and red beets. We call 'green onions' scallions as well as 'green onions.' Other onions 'bulb' in the longer days of summer, swelling to a wonderful roundness. So, how about some 'Melboller?' Some type of Danish dumpling seems like it would elevate this dish into a cold weather treasure!

[@steersman-zv2ng]

It's really funky when you say "Supersuper awesome" and "Blah blah blah blah blah blah" Lars . Haha

[@doughroasterbushcraftandsu3947]

Dill is Dill here in the uk Lars my Grandpa used to grow awesome Dill in his garden along with nearly every other vegetable he and Grandma ate 🙂Awesome video

[@BillHalliwell]

G'day Lars, Here in Tasmania, right now, it's breakfast, however, I want to have 'Lar's Siberian Soup' for breakfast! Looks delicious! Yes, that looks like what we call Dill too. And we call those green onions 'Spring Onlons' too. I think our American brothers call them scallions. I think that Russian stock pot is awesome. I'll see if I can find one somewhere. Thanks, Lars, Cheers, BH.

[@gregsummers7350]

That moment your body reacts to the tasty home-made soup before you can speak the words, says it all! Great job Lars. Today, for so many people, supermarkets and shopping malls have robbed us of some many life skills. That is a great cooking pot for family / team meal preparation. Greetings to all in the SR team from Greg in Thailand

[@derandi2037]

I looove Dill! And the Victorinox. Mine is called Rucksack. The Bundeswehr uses a similar Version. Far more important then a big ass fighting knife out in the field!

[@solid_jr]

Great looking soup Lars. I agree with you about the heat and eating. I don’t know how you can eat hot soup at all in 30+ degree heat at all though. It makes me sweat just thinking about it. Great table. It reminds me of a pawn. 15 more and you have half a chess set : ) Using a Swiss Army knife to cook a meal in the forest is the epitome of awesome. I don’t like wishing my time away but I’m looking forward to seeing this camp in winter. I love the forest in the winter. Take care.

[@RM-io7qo]

Dill is the correct name for this herb in English, Lars. However, it's one of those tastes that I do not care for. I do cook with many herbs, but Dill is not one of them. I began my working life 60 years ago as a trainee cook where I learned that there was more to cooking than just the things that I liked...Pigmeat...lovely!! Take care...

[@rasbhangi]

You made me get hungry, Lars. Too bad I was not there to let you share with me lol.

[@katrinagarwood7905]

Very skilled chef like prep of your vegetables. Had a chuckle about the flavour 'getting lost'. That was fun, thanks Lars. Im going to try the awesome soup.

[@sksupply]

And once again my 5 year old daughter....."Survival Russia!" She yells it loudly. Have a good day Lars.

[@keithspence1630]

Hi Lars hope your managing the hot weather.

[@Blueswailer]

Campfire cooking videos in general are nice, Survival Russia campfire cooking = even better! A little bit of dirt in the soup never hurt anyone, human stomach acid can melt razor blades. This I learned back in the day from a sideshow freak who swallowed them as a stage act. That looks like some tasty soup, nature surroundings make everything taste better anyway. It was spectacularly hot(and dry) here as well, the groundwater levels are lower than usual. Watch out for the bears, wouldn't want a 300kg hairball ransacking anywhere near the camp. Thanks for the video, hope you've had a great week Lars!

[@Codfan1122]

Awesome video Lars!! Thanks for taking us along:)

[@LionAstrology]

Thanks for another video Lars.

[@BluestedSRT4]

Love your cooking videos. Thanks.

[@redsorgum]

I like Havarti cheese that has dill in it. I love my Victorinox knives. Soup with potatoes and onions, awesome!

[@SurvivalRussia]

Good old Havarti :)

[@SurvivalTheory]

I like Stone Soup. Very delicious and great for camping. I learned about Stone Soup from watching the old "Land of the Lost" tv series.

[@banerjeepradeep]

Dill is Dill is Engish. In Russian it sounds something like 'ukrop', which you certainly know :) Amazing video. I loved it!!

[@bobbyfurr8780]

looks great Lars... Enjoy...

[@michaelcurtis4563]

Dill is Dill. That looks tasty. Thanks for taking us along Lars!

[@JimRodgers]

That looks like a hearty soup. I bet it tastes even better when eaten outdoors.

[@ohmyshou1der]

35C° here, dill is awesome, summer is not awesome at all. Even awesome pork soup doesn't make me hungry tho.

[@donniev8181]

We call them green onions here in the mid western United States also. Soup looked "souper" awesome also, God bless.

[@Miohunter444]

That soup looks really good Lars!! Now I'm hungry.. lol

[@aktrapper6126]

I really like the pot hanging system you use Lars, I made one last winter for my winter camp and used it quite a number of times. It worked great in the deep snow. Your stew / soup looked really tasty as well as simple to make. I'll give it a try this hunting season. All the best to you my friend.

[@brianschroeder6106]

Dill is the same in america, it is used a lot in pickling and with lamb. I never thought about using it in a soup I will have to give it a try. As for the green onions it depends on where you are in america. I live in the south and I grew up calling them green onions, but I lived up north and heard a lot of people call them spring onions. Either way works. The soup looks really tasty I am going to have to give it a try when I order my pig meat from Varusteleka since I can't seem to find anything like that here.

[@fyremanjef]

4 years later and got my fix of Lars in the outdoors. 👍🐷

[@garyevans3421]

Soup is so customizable. More potatoes and less onions for me, but I really like your cooking videos. I definitely see the benefit of an oval pot for packing!

[@VE3FAL1Fred]

Lars great video. So dry here I would be afraid to have a fire of any size at my tent location let alone take the quad out. Dill is awesome and we grow it for pickling of course here as well as winter garlic. days are getting shorter which means fall hunting and winter will soon be here and back into the woods for this guy. You have a super weekend coming up Lars, you and the family. Cheers Fred

[@ericcorse]

That soup has to be good with the stuff in it. And as an added bonus the garlic will keep the vampires away. I can see where that oval pot is better than around pot, surprised they all aren't that shape.

[@biggboyy1370]

Awesome video do you ever use beef or chicken in your soup just wondering, thanks for making these videos I know a lot of work goes into them, editing and posting takes a lot of time we all appreciate the effort

[@craigmooring2091]

All right! Dill is my favorite herb. That looks so good.

[@JamesBuell88]

Glad to see you in the forest Lars. Food looked great. Watched your video while I was cooking too.. Awesome...

[@samsworldofrations6996]

Lars a bit of dirt never done anyone any harm. The 10 second rule- if something falls on the ground, as long as you pick it up within 10 seconds then it’s good to go 👍

[@gordonmiller4439]

Pigmeat Super Soup made by Lars on the campfire, all is good!

[@MrPix3lzz]

Use the back of the knife for putting the stuff into the container, little cooks trick to keep the knife sharp ;)

[@SurvivalRussia]

Makes sense :)

[@pauln2661]

That is a boiler. The round ends are because this is set up your wood cook stove with the top plates off and the fire directly to the bottom of the boiler. These were used to boil your laundry, boil sap, render lard. Mostly laundry though. Normally found made of copper. Never use the laundry boiler to boil your sap, though. :)

[@xerkS7]

That soup looks awesome!

[@ikadan]

Dill! In Finish it's called: "Tilli" The ingredients look awesome! Especially the garlic! I love garlic and i red a fact about it somewhere, apparently garlic fends off tics and mosquitos.If consumed the day before. Well i believe that is true.. .because garlic fends off everyone the next day. :D Oh yeah. And it's 31 degrees celsius in the shadow at the moment . Barely unbareable!

[@SurvivalRussia]

Yeah Mikko, it's like that here as well :) Garlic is good for a lot of stuff.

[@ikadan]

Today i used Garlic as a garnish, made an aluminium dumpling of a fresh garlic, dill, black pepper, oil and fresh summer onions cooked them about 12 minutes on a high seting. It was awesome on steaks i prepared earlier. Just gotta mention it was heavenly with a decent lager beer. ;) (red 3 from Lidl) ;) (All Finns will know this)

[@samvittoria9692]

Dang that looked so good. I want some.

[@bushcraftnorthof6012]

That looks tasty! Shashkin is an awesome channel. And Victorinox knives are great for food prep and other camp duties. I really like that oval pot. Take care, see you again soon, I hope.

[@thomaswaldorf9141]

great show as always.

[@nomadicoasis9260]

Nice to see you cooking again Lars.

[@er272]

Now I'm hungry. Looks delicious.

[@georgemcmillan9172]

As akways, great video Lars! Yes, in english we call it dill. Love the small stock pot for outdoor cooking! Woukd like to see more!

[@brettona123]

I made your soup tonight. I made a few substitutions like adding BBQ pork and some carrots. But used lots of dill(as we call it in Canada as well). I grew up on Borscht a lot of the time, and this is similar. I don't miss the beats.

[@lifeseeker9563]

i dont like watching cooking shows but it was oright lol clicking on the next one take care Lars

[@fyremanjef]

This could have been titled “return of pig meat”. Nice to see you putting that table to use. 👍👍

[@jamesortiz5388]

I subliked the stew video Lars.

[@charliemichael804]

Love these cooking videos!

[@markfletcher4964]

Hello from the U.S. Love your video's!

[@SurvivalRussia]

Thanks Mark.

[@MartyBecker]

Big fan of your buckwheat, porkmeat meal. Need to try this. Looks Awesome! 👍

[@mziskin]

It's dill in English as well

[@positionthepositron]

Looks good. I love soup. My favorite is throw a while chicken and all the veg in the oven and forget about it for a few hours.. .so good

[@fumasterchu12]

Awesome, a SR video before I go to work!!

[@SurvivalRussia]

Have a great day!

[@fumasterchu12]

Thanks my friend, that is an amazing oval pot. Your Victorinox knife is super sharp, it was just gliding through those potatoes. Have a nice night Lars, Cheers!

[@MichaelR58]

Lars , good to see you again, thanks for sharing and bringing us along. Did you chop down weeds around the camp ? The soup looked awesome. On a side note could you get some footage of the lunar eclipse Friday ?

[@terrygreen2243]

Lars you realy need to discover the wonders of a pressure cooker for survival the fuel saved by one is remarkable ! your soup would have cooked in 5 min.s and the time it takes to cool

[@johnrossSorbie]

Excellent my friend nothing can't beat bushcraft stew, l made the bushcraft stew in the Isle of Arran l made too much in castiron pot

[@Eric-ew8jt]

Groovy video Lars, Can't wait to see the camp when it's done

[@FeldwebelWolfenstool]

I could whip you up a nice Kala-Mojakka, a Finnish fish soup, in that pot....but mmmm....that flayed hog carcass looks wunderbar...have you been begging the Dragon Lady for her traditional recipes?

[@REAPERMILITIAOUTDOORS]

Soup on a hot day you are one tough son of a gun Lars lol.👍👍🤘🤘👊

[@bergonius]

There is already a law project in the pipeline on taxing households and domestic gardens. They are actually one step ahead on that matter.

[@Reaper4367]

Mouth is watering Lars! Yummo mate! Cheers for sharing.:)

[@YllwNinja82]

no buckwheat? I am shocked! :D

[@gferguson73]

Love your cooking videos you should do more

[@SurvivalRussia]

Maybe I should :) Thank you!

[@NewEnglandOutdoorsman]

There’s something about cooking and eating food off of a fire that just feels right! Taste better too haha.

[@LpMcQuack]

Another awesome video Lars...

[@OKBushcraft]

Ill need to look up the recipe to the soup base. Looked great.

[@SurvivalRussia]

Just look up "Kharcho" soup.

[@OKBushcraft]

Survival Russia I found it!! It looks great. I'll be making it. Thanks.

[@DavidJohnson-wj5zk]

I love dill.

[@Schmidt54]

Dill as an ingredient is underrated. I especially love dill and fish, best in a nice soup! I also would give you the tip to use red lentils for soups like this. They cook quickly, no soaking, taste great, make a soup or something less "runny" and gives a nice small boost for plant-based protein.

[@SurvivalRussia]

Thank you :) Red lentils, I will see if I can find some.

[@netherwolf603]

that looks very good, i want to try something similar to this stew recipe myself, it's been to long since i've had a good stew, lot's of benefits, healthy for you and easy to make aswell.

[@kevins1114]

The supermarkets got their way in some areas here in the USA. In some places, it is actually a crime to have a back-yard garden. But here you are again, cooking the best meals - cooked outdoors over an open fire. Nothing else can match that. When I go fishing, I always cook one or two of the fish before going home. Cooking freshly harvested things over an open fire is, to me, living like royalty. City people have no clue as to what they miss out on while thinking they live the "good life". The same applies to snooty rich people.

[@SurvivalRussia]

That's strange and sad at the same time. Freshly cooked food on open fire is the best :)

[@kevins1114]

Gary Miller: Same here. That's why I live in a semi-rural area, and, when I finally get done with my current obligations, I'm moving to an area that has only about 250 people in a 1,800 square miles area. It may be hard to believe, but such places do exist here in America. It's high desert, but I'm already educating myself in desert survival.

[@katrinagarwood7905]

Wow! I cant believe it! Can they really outlaw people from growing their own food?

[@kevins1114]

katrina garwood: Never underestimate the insanity of those political hacks who call themselves "liberals". They despise common sense almost as much as they despise personal freedom. In short, they're maniacal control freaks - the exact opposite of true liberalism.

[@blueeyeswhitedragon9839]

Come to Canada, where a back yard garden is common in the city. We are even allowed to keep chickens in back yard coops, though this has it's detractors. And many have country gardens (very European) just outside the city. Funny how the land of the free is not so free, and they blame "democrats"...fellow Americans for their troubles. And in Russia, there seems to be more freedom for the individual than the Americans allow for themselves(...ever since 9/11). Politics sure is strange. That's why I enjoy these videos by Lars, and try to keep politics out of it.

[@pantero3206]

Soil is good man, it have silica for health. And if you r strong your stomach will kill worms.

[@brianreddeman951]

I can't cook with dill in my house because I'm the only one who likes it. It's awesome in soups. Look up black garlic if you like Garlic. Has a very different flavor.

[@Toad_Hugger]

Great video as always Lars! Looks like good soup! You seem to be having a great time! I am less fortunate today, one of my film cameras has jammed and I'm not sure how to fix it. Anywho, it's always nice to have some homemade soup, especially with homegrown ingredients.

[@lukewardle3515]

Lars, do you know a webstore that ships those pots outside Russia? That shape makes a lot of sense.

[@scrider8464]

Good vid, like the Russian pot and your explaining why kidney shaped. Will try dill in soup next time.

[@thraebhorrvalachus5]

Awesome vid. May i ask what watch do you wear?

[@aeromech8563]

Hi Survival Russia we do call it dill in England 🤘totally awesome soup man fanbloodytastic 😎

[@WayneTheSeine]

I put green onions in most everything....fantastic taste. I'm with you....just dump it all in. I have never seen canned pork. Looks really, really good.....the other white meat.

[@SomeReefer]

It's been 43 to 47c where I live and it sucks

[@SurvivalRussia]

That sucks!

[@OKBushcraft]

Weve been 41° C but today was odd, only 31°C. Funny how folks used to F are now starting to use C. 🤔

[@brunoelpiston]

Nice garlic you have... Come from the home . ..enjoy your summer! Lars.... awsome vid

[@SurvivalRussia]

Thank you :)

[@FeldwebelWolfenstool]

...eat an apple right after the garlic...no more fumes, when you're talking to someone....

[@edsdad05]

It is called dill in the US we use it for pickles and seasoning for fish and other things etc.

[@stephenl7048]

I can't say how how many packets of this "Super Soup" I have used since you showed it on an earlier video - but many! Fantastic product. Thanks for the recommendation. My wife's brother gets it from "DixI" in Moscow, and posts it to me in the UK!

[@SurvivalRussia]

Awesome! It's a really great soup :)

[@sharmamanoj]

Great video mate i enjoyed the video thoroughly. Go on mate.

[@knarlygnivesandoutdoors8034]

WHAT NO BUCKWHEAT, haha I love the Lars cooking videos, some of my favorites. -Kyle

[@SurvivalRussia]

Thank you :) Too damn hot for heavy Buckwheat meal!

[@knarlygnivesandoutdoors8034]

Survival Russia haha I can understand that, looks delicous my friend, 😊

[@natuur_in_nederland]

Like the cooking video! Can you also do bushcrafting like carving kuksa, spoon, fork etc? You have the skills, saw you making the axe. ATB and merry christmas to you and your family.

[@jacobbuxton932]

Incredible recipe

[@rockk4six]

Now if he just had smell-o-vision...Looks good ;)
