Cookset for Base Camp Modern Black Smithing Part 43

[@DaveBardin]

Dave I blacksmith a bit and you have impressed me. You speak the truth on skills getting rusty. I don't smith in the dead summer and have to retrain myself when I start again. The average smith would swing a hammer 30,000 to 50,000 on an average day. Just imagine the tennis elbow and blown rotater cuffs those guys had. A wonderful project and well demonstrated. Please give us some more smithing.

[@Waldhandwerk]

Great Work and Set!

[@gearhead9159]

I just found my next project . Thanks brother . It is a great video .

[@FacetsOfTruth]

Thanks Dave. I look forward every day to having a video from you to learn from. I really appreciate all that you do for us. You're a part of many of our lives each day. If I had to say who has taught me more in life than any other person? It would have to be you Brother. I'd say that you are my 'Mentor'. :) God bless you and all those you love and hold dear.

[@MikeMayfieldFoxden246]

That is awsome work. Thanks for sharing some insight into the blacksmith skill.

[@sirwin313]

You make it look easy. To someone with no experience you show it can be done. Ty

[@freonfreezz]

Excellent project. Now on my cool weather to do list. Thanks for the walk through.

[@taneilman]

That looks great. Thank You

[@westvirginiasurvival]

What a great idea. Thank You.

[@DelawareDigger]

I really appreciate this Base Camp setup Dave. Very well thought out brother, thank you for the heads up. Terry.

[@bitezrten8241]

Greetings from Italy! Thanks for the good work, have a wonderful day!

[@RevRedmondFarrier]

That is so true about it being a "perishable skill". I am a wimp when it comes to heat and cannot do any smithing in the summer. When the weather cools down and I get back into the smithy, I always feel like I am nearly starting from scratch again.

[@jackyb2005]

Your videos are great thanks for what you do

[@squishy312]

I've watched all of the blacksmith videos that you've done, and you have improved drastically since you first started... You are right though, the physical part of it goes away, but the mental part does stay. Keep it up! great simple setup, love it!

[@tggonzales161]

Just started watching your videos the last few weeks and I've got to say I really enjoy them. Yet most of all I'm learning New things from them. Thank you keep up the great videos.

[@Vx777infonet]

Very nice it does appear about two feet two wide, easy just to move stakes in, or add fifth stake in middle. minor tweaks. rebar gives me some ideas for a cabin type setup watching this hope to build one someday

[@5485Ron]

I am always impressed with you Dave!

[@Rayblade3]

nice work. that would make a great base camp setup..

[@crackonwithnowak5087]

Great set up Dave. It looks like you could use a set of stakes in the middle of the cook top area. Thank you for the video.

[@pangeria12]

Love the video Dave.

[@tomritter493]

great job dave that would just be nice to have at the back yard campfire for picnics and stuff

[@Jarrodjohn2007]

Dave - great vids! I agree with the suggestion of showing at the beginning (when appropriate) a pic of what you're going to make. Yes, sometimes it is good to leave it as a surprise, but other times it is clarifying to see it at the beginning. Love what you're doing Dave!

[@trevormcallister9002]

glad to see u back to the blacksmithing. after watching the series before your hiatus with it i set myself up a homemade forge and a homemade type anvil setup and got to it. infact i just finished a camping iron set very similar to this. i hope to see more blacksmithing videos from you keep em comin

[@csglover1]

Dave that thing is awesome.

[@EatCarbs]

Wow Dave.. That is really cool Thanks for the video

[@JimHensonblacksmith]

Nice to see you hammering at the forge again, that's what I watch you for. I like seeing you figure things out. You can tell you're a lot better at it than when you started. You really need to lock that anvil down though...it's jumping around too much.

[@alphagrendel]

I've got the same anvil. I have mine bolted to a old fire hydrant riser. It's the exact right height for me and makes a very stable base.

[@zeddarain]

wow. just looking at some of your new videos. great job. i had stopped watching about two years ago cause everything was starting to talk about the same old things. but now you got a large verity of things. gonna have to catch back up. keep up the good work. oh and nice find on the anvil.

[@ramsessilent]

Nice think ill build one with 2 mods add 2 more legs and use a much thiner steel rods to make it much lighter for the hump in and out of base camp. thanks for the video brother. great as always.

[@grantskoglind3460]

You Sir, are a jack of all traits, I admire you. Keep it up! -God Bless

[@bvbjb]

Great video Dave! Can't wait to see that Indian braid. Mine will be here by winter. Thanks for sharing.

[@flyvet46]

great video dave just a though if you make one more set of the legs and you put in the middle you will have more support then you can load that mother up

[@theknifemaker20]

this setup is really neat. i made a small grill like that one for camping out of some springs i got from an old couch

[@SuperC457]

You really do make that look easy Dave. Great vid.

[@quentinrox2663]

Really cool Dave. You need to fashion yourself some kind of poker/puller for moving the rebar grates around and pulling pots and stuff.

[@overthehill1958]

Very nice. Great lifestyle.

[@KyleEllis1989]

Very nice

[@carter-9222]

Great video as always

[@kumbackquatsta]

love the blacksmithing series, keep it coming!

[@windhamcabin]

Up here in Maine we say "that's a wicked good idea" Think ill try my hand at spinn' one ah them up. Thanks Dave

[@futuresonex]

That's a really slick setup! Great video Dave!

[@lastgameplay]

MORE great info...thanks

[@2ARights]

Dave, luv the vids. One suggestion. Show a picture of the final product at the beginning. I wasn't sure what you were building until the end.

[@MrWoodsmen]

love that black smith and the cook set up set up u got there Dave great vid as always thank you

[@Galarid87]

Great vid

[@hashiramasenju4846]

The class sounds awesome! Pulled deer sandwiches too! Sweet...

[@MrBarkspud]

Great vid old boy really enjoying them and love to see any black smithing work. I find it very interesting and going to have me a anvil one of these days..thanks for sharing

[@galenlong3005]

I'll admit I havent watched to many videos in the Blacksmithing series Cause I was always told You have to have done it for years to do the stuff you just did, but you made it look so durn easy. I gotta watch all of those videos now lol.

[@stuartmangold595]

glad to see a new black smithing video

[@meelas010]

found a 50 pound anvil yesterday definitely have to get into blacksmithing when something like that comes my way!

[@johnborne6799]

Great video that is a really nice setup I always enjoy your videos

[@badbadbob1]

I made my set.Thanks Dave. Now if it stops raining I can try it.

[@dougallen7890]

WOW Dave, that was fast, should last forever.

[@Nemox94]

Well, I'm glad to see that people still know how to pick rolemodels.

[@dollarbill1789]

That is so cool.

[@tfknauss]

Nice video, Great job!

[@Lumens1]

Back to Black Smithing? Excellent! Keep it up brother!!

[@TheRisenRAGE]

This is really awesome stuff Dave, You're getting good with a hammer and anvil. Great videos and glad to always see new content from you, very enjoyable!

[@BrianLiles]

This may be the first time I've seen you without a hat on Dave. Thanks for taking the time to shoot, edit and upload this video brother!

[@lifeprepper1130]

I tell you what, to an untrained eye you sure didn't look like your skills were rusty. You whipped that stuff right up. Great vid!

[@budmoore8144]

NICE SETUP

[@jonshneebley]

Awesome!

[@TheBlackB0X]

Amazing. I don't regret subbing to this channel. Although I live in the suburbs this is is pretty great stuff to learn about. Although I could use Dave as a neighbor in case a disaster happens. Also, thanks for posting Dave, people like yourself are more valuable then the highest paid movie star or tycoon billionaire. I will keep watching and keep recommending the high quality information and great humanitarian service you provide. Thank you sir.

[@RamboOntario]

That's as real nice setup I think I'm going to make one myself

[@SwampRatProductions]

Looks like its gonna be a good class, definitely need to attend one of these. Hmm.....I bet you could make an easy "hammock " / bed with the rebar and paracord or 1in hemp

[@shawnbarker7247]

I've just started subing your channel this month and want to thank you. As a teen through my late twentys I was into bushcraft and self realiance since then life happened and I've drifted away from my roots. Watching your channel has brought back the memories lost for that I thank you again. I would like to ask if in the future are you interested in a wild edible series. I'm planning on returning to the past and reviving the skills forgotten while adding new ones you inspired me.

[@nathan42304]

Like the cooking setup Dave it's little like Nesmuk camp setup but instead of wood its rebar

[@MrOxbone]

Great video, wondering what it look like on a smaller scale.

[@dexterlexter123]

for the grill on the bottem maybe a step in it to raise on side up like a couple inches but keep the grate under it

[@nateo1404]

Awesome vid dave! Love the blacksmithing series brother

[@kcolmore1]

I have been getting things together to make me a forge. The thing I think I'm going to have trouble with is finding a good anvil like you have without spending a lot of money. You lucked out finding that one at a scrap yard. Maybe I'll get that lucky, lol.

[@bradrichardson00]

Nice !!!

[@MegaWhiteboy1488]

that's a real good idea I think I may make one like that tis winter thanks for the idea id like to see what else you come up with for the Black Smithing Series

[@TheGobleD]

You should make a survival movie

[@just4yutube]

Great video as always, I'm losing sleep, but can't stop watching, need input.

[@gchacon316]

Looks really good Dave. These are skills that I continually strive to attain. Growing up in the city didn't give me a sense of creativity like this. I guess that's why Agenda 21 wants everyone to live in a city on top of one another, only knowing how to go to the store by the goods provided for them... Keep making these videos. I really appreciate them.

[@ledz791]

I just use natural lump charcoal with great results. Royal Oak brand found next to the regular briquettes at Wally-World...

[@flamedrag18]

simple, quick and effective. have you ever tried brine for your quenching liquid? I know you use vegetable oil for the most part from your previous videos, but I believe the brine might be easier to acquire and/or produce than a similar amount of organic source oil(rather than petroleum or synthetic sources) in a self reliance situation at home. you might be able to grow oil producing plants and use animal fats, but salt would likely be easier to find in abundance.

[@CodyJames005]

i have always wanted to see how to make and sharpen an auger! its a hard tool to find for cheap!

[@trevormcallister9002]

some other projects like bottle openers, dinner bells, candle holders or boot scrapers would be some great project ideas for u

[@robertc.5558]

Just subed a week ago. And love everything i see so far. You awesome man. I learned some valuable stuff in this video. Keep it up. And thanks for taking the time to post this bro.

[@segaprophet]

I want to be just like Dave when I grow up

[@jasonp2794]

Obviously the cross bars need to be iron, but the 4 legs and the 2 longs pieces, could those be wood? Maybe makes the loops a little larger diameter and you could use green saplings for those 2 longs pieces. For packing I would carry 4-5 pieces of rebar and build the rest from materials found.

[@briandrexler5041]

Hey Dave great video. Was wonder if you and Rob Simpson ever consider tackling a bushcraft cook kit? I know there are various versions (Mors Pot, Zebra billy pot etc) but never one made by a traditional bushcrafter. You guys did such a great job with the Canteen kit...

[@Zankaroo]

I don't know how much weight you are going to put on it but it was wobbling a bit when you messed with it, so I was wondering if the the two long bars would become two flexible when heated up by the cooking fire. I personally would make 2-4 more uprights/supports just for good measure. Plus I just don't wobbly structures, lol, but thats just me.

[@jecustomknives]

Awesome set up in vid dave!:)

[@bryanbeemer8405]

How about another long bar (or one of the long bars from the grill) with a loop at one end and a point at the other used with the tall uprights for a spit

[@thedragonsmith1]

Youre a badass dave. Im looking at rural land to buy, and I keep thinking, what would dave say about it? Im looking at property that backs up to 420,000 acres of national forest. Dunno if I could fire firearms there, but the assurance of not having neighbors is alluring. Thanks 4 ur vids.

[@psubs2001]

Dave, Watching the long rebars of the grill sag make me think that maybe you needed six legs for the grill. Two in the middle of the lengths. Otherwise very cool.

[@socallb652]

Great video, nice set up. Why is there a chain around the anvil? is the to lock it down, like some will pick it up and take off? Just asking

[@Halfand8]

Great video. Isn't it a bit hazardous to do this with all of that ground cover though?

[@daveh7720]

You make it look easy Dave. What do you burn in your forge?

[@AcceLtheSpecialists]

This is unrelated to the video but I just wanna announce the last good season of Dual Survival (Season 2) is on Netflix finally!!!! I'm so happy now lol.

[@pedestrian0101]

thank you for everything brother! will you ever visit northern california?

[@Sociopath33]

what about making some pegs off the back side of the long rebar to lock the cross bars into place you could still beable to lift and slide but will keep them from slipping or sliding more then a inch or so however tight the pegs were just as a safety measure wouldn't want to lose a meal to the worms

[@3vil3lvis]

The depth and breadth of your videos continues to amaze! Not sure how you do it, but you even make turds interesting. Does that forge get hot enough to blow glass?

[@fhfarm1]

Are going to put up any video from the class on forge welding?

[@24680kong]

I was excited to see another blacksmithing video in my sub box, and I wasn't disappointed! It's almost mesmerizing watching you work on those things. Is there any chance you'll finish that long spring trap you started a while back?

[@george50]

What about using larger diameter rebar for the long pieces?

[@Nemox94]

He says it in a previous video if I remember correctly.
