Bushcraft Kitchen Part 1

[@Therioz]

I have nothing but the utmost respect for you man, I am a long time computer nerd learning all I can about wilderness survival and bushcraft because I feel we live in uncertain times where skills like this could be extremely valuable. Keep it up man, Good work!

[@shadowstalker130666]

I love how you approach things like this. Some people will spend hours setting up their camp kitchen, using lots of complicated gizmos and techniques. You seem more concerned with finding the easiest, simplest and most convenient way of getting it done that also gives you the most options for using it. I've been watching your videos for years and I've learned a lot. Keep up the fantastic work and I wish you and yours the best.

[@verax218]

Years ago I used this technique I learned from this video to make many of shelters before I joined the military. I love these old school videos of yours

[@TNT73BLF]

I constructed one of these tripods over the weekend and was amazed how easy it was to make and how sturdy it was once completed. I used 3 , 3 to 4 inch around poles that were 6 ft long (cut from a tulip popular) and it easily held my 240 lb - no problem. I'm going to make a larger (taller) one for a shelter. Thanks for the inspiration Dave.

[@enjoythewildUSA]

Dave, I want to thank you for sharing your inspiration and knowledge with us. You are, and have always been, the most informative, true outdoorsman on the internet or on TV in my mind.

[@connormyron.5366]

i still watch these series from time to time for ideas on my own permanent shelter. Many thanks brother.

[@wyattoneable]

I know I've said this many times but I sure to appreciate your time here. I've really enjoy hanging around and learning new tricks and skills. Thanks so much.

[@TheWayOutisThru]

Dave. In my personal opinion you have become (over time) A Great orator. I could listen to you all day brother, especially with those soothing forest sounds in the background. Peace

[@jaradwebber8108]

Hi dave, I know you hear it all the time but I just wanted to say thanks. I drive my wife crazy with my addiction to survivability and sustainability, so its always nice to be able to pull up your videos occupy myself. Thanks again

[@permacraftireland]

There's nothing better than a nice kitchen to cook up some nice meals. And this looks like a damn nice kitchen to me. Nice work! Thank you

[@hagmark1]

Hi Dave, Thanks for the excellent video. I've been following your channel for some time now. By following your Six Sigma example I cut the weight of my three day pack by 7Kg without losing functionality or compromising survivability. I just cut out the fluff, choosing the best tools for the job and dual purposing kit. Pack now weighs in at 15Kg including three man tent (Summer 's colder and wetter here with little tree cover) and three days rations. Your stuff works. Thanks from UK

[@Late2Formation]

Dave I love your vids, (US Soldier here) I love your yurt and teepee series. I would love to see how you husband your land. I see you cutting down your saplings quite a bit and all your outdoor furniture has to take somewhat of a toll. I think a good vid series would be how to keep your land sustainable and to replenish what you own. Maybe even gardening what's local and edible. Keep up the good work brother!

[@grantoyamaha]

You've definitely got some skills Dave , I'm an Aussie and a huge fan of your work . Good things will come to u .

[@jguitarz1]

Really enjoy your videos Dave. I think it is great what you are doing with helping to teach others. I have learned a lot of things from you where my late uncle left off. He was a great outdoors man/trapper. Keep up the great work and hope to one day meet you my friend.

[@robe1kanobe]

You have a lot of straight trees growing in your neck of the woods brother, the tools your making for cooking right there look spectacular!

[@outdoordauber]

+wildernessoutfitters - Dave, you constantly produce great quality and informative vids. Thanks for sharing your vast knowledge with us, Brother. One suggestion from a guy who's been cutting trees for nearly three decades... always cut as low to the ground and as flat as possible. Eliminates the chance of being impaled if one was to fall on the small diameter "stump". Keep on keepin' on!

[@izmazix2148]

Awesome vid sir! also i want all to know that i had a small issue with the cup that came with my pathfinder bottle and i emailed the store and their awesome customer service QUICKLY sent me a replacement and told me to keep the old one! awesome videos and GREAT products. the company stands behind them! Thanks Dave!

[@williamhedgepeth5277]

Great presentation Dave. I like the whole set up. Thank you for taking the time to film these videos. You're always thinking everyone for what they do for your family well we thank you for the time and valuable knowledge that you share with us.

[@DheereCrossing]

That's a beautiful knife Dave. Fantastic lessons on lashing and notching. The part I missed is how a keyhole is defined where you mentioned the coals would be moved.

[@giusepperesponte8077]

Ah I can truly feel the spring, it's the 21st and gettin more mild

[@TheWingnut58]

Love your vids Dave...thanks for sharing your wealth of knowledge. You should NEVER use a rack from a refrigerator to cook directly on like a grill rack....they are coated with zinc and will deposit zinc oxide (nearly invisible and poisonous) onto your food. A much better chiuce would be an oven rack....one from a discarded toaster oven works great :)

[@buaan]

Excellent video, Dave! Really useful tips there. Didn't think about taking an old fridge shelf, I'll definitely try that and the 'key ring bow saw' method out. I'll implement the pot hanger tripod next time I go out. Cheers for taking the time to make these useful videos.

[@bushcraft2012]

Great video Dave...lots of ideas. I use a similar grill set up that I removed from some old convection ovens.

[@MrBeatboxmasta]

Your candor, is well deserving of the top comment. Glad to hear you've looked for positive role models, instead of following in your dad's footsteps.

[@oldguy537]

nobody owns these ideas Chad , I've been doing similar set ups for nearly 50 yrs, shown to me by an old bushy , good to see the like of Dave , Ray and others passing them on ..

[@shadowflight762]

Excellent video Dave, your ingenuity is genius. Please keep your videos coming.

[@roundandrandom8576]

This was an absolutely great video. One more reason I hope to be able to go to the Pathfinder school for a class.

[@DG123z]

For the notch stick with the fork in the front... A stick with a hook (like he showed earlier to hang the pot from) works well to hold the back end. Use it like a tent stake.

[@Farad152000]

Another excellent video Dave, I have seen you use that tripod before but was always puzzled on how you made it. Thanks for taking the time to show us. I will try to use that method in the future.

[@RealityStar9]

I really like your way. Simple and effective. For longer term I like the Chippewa style kitchen especially with clay sinks so that you have warm water all the time with out carrying in pots.

[@stefanwolf88]

Simple, useful - great video and outstanding knife... Thanks Stefan from Bulgaria!

[@AllanHartwig]

Excellent tip, my system certainly cooking in the bush will change from now on. Thanks for sharing.

[@metrowash]

Tons of great information- Thanks for all you do Dave!

[@averageoutlaw]

Dave, you've been an inspiration to me and my brother for a good few years now, and you have inspired a generation of young bushcrafters whatever happened to the s.a.n project I was really looking forward to seeing the hunters camp series.( ps, I am an avid follower of ray mears and I am pretty sure he doesn't have a brother called ted )

[@thestig007]

This is a brilliant and simple setup. I love it.

[@Hutzjohn]

I saw the Ray Mears video and it was very good but your system is superior. Thanks Dave.

[@windhamcabin]

Very helpful, and practical. Makes me want to cook in the woods! Thanks for your excellent instruction.

[@raymondjakeman5649]

Mr canterbury you made my world a better place to live in England and the knowledge that you have is outstanding please keep up the good work brother. Peace be the journey God bless 👍🛐🕇

[@harrykuheim6107]

I use that wind up timber hitch while laying out strings on batter boards.... I didn't even realize that it was a Timber Hitch.....very handy....

[@FacetsOfTruth]

Nice video again Dave. Thank you for keeping us thinking. Happy 4TH of July Brother. And thank you for your service to our Country and to me. Praise God!

[@COMB0RICO]

This is in the top 3 most useful videos of the 40 videos of Canterbury's I have seen so far. For some reason I was ignoring the kitchen videos because it sounded less vital to survival. Uh huh.

[@Nessy3nity]

Thank you for sharing this excellent lesson! I will definitely give the tripod system a try next time I'm in the bush.

[@claytonhewlett6149]

Great videos Dave. You really do know your stuff. BIG FAN!

[@erroleabrown4317]

great stuff , I love what people think and say of you , lifes to short for rubbish talk , Im so glad we have people like you thku so much for your bush craft lessons :)

[@YaddaYaddaWarden]

Great ideas on how to set up to work over a cook fire! VERY useful information!

[@moorshound3243]

Keep on popping them videos out my friend, I love watching then planning my next hike! Take care.

[@jasper2222able]

really injoyed this video lots of good info and love the different ways to do things - been a long time sence i was camping slowly getting back in

[@NFT2]

Hey Dave great video again, you should make a video of you cooking up a good bushcraft feast on this setup, Wilderness cooking videos are the best.

[@LarryGenePate]

I sure enjoy youre great videos,you do a SUPER great job and very easy & interesting.Thanks so much,keep up the great work!!

[@MrAceofAce]

Been watching some Dual survival lately. Great to see you in your element and enjoying life! Hope that whole negativity of you leaving the show is in the rear view mirror now. Thanks for providing this great content on your own channel. Good luck in the future

[@joelcrmt]

Thanks Dave, I Love the camp cooking videos and this camp kitchen is a very sweet deal. I would definitely watch you cook up a three course meal using this kitchen setup! I'd Help you eat it too if I wasn't living up here in Canada, Happy 4th of July!

[@Shannon_Lacey]

Great overview of the different methods. As always I learn quite a lot.

[@Virginiawoodsman]

Great video Dave. Lots of good advice. Thanks

[@1stfloorguy59]

Well I don't know the chemical aspect but i do know when i was learning to weld i was taught. That aluminum is bad to use on open fire not just because its composition but aluminum is easy to burn up and waste in fire a lot of people still use aluminum so if its all you have best use it. but i think iron is one of the better things to cook on once its seasoned as long as its rust free of course. And stainless steel and i think the racks in refrigerators are stainless so you could

[@daveinohio9383]

Outstanding video !!!! Just think simple and look at what's around you..... Keep the great vids comin'

[@DarthVirtus]

Man, you are awesome. Keep on truckin' brother.

[@barlotardy]

A lot of times, those refrigerator shelf grates will have some kind of chrome finish on them, so you'll want to avoid grilling directly on them. I keep mine in an old pillow case when I'm packing it around so I don't get soot on the rest of my gear.

[@briankayaker1]

I love bank line! I ran out once but had some 60lbs test Spiderwire fishing line. Ever since that's been my go to line for most everything. Nothings stronger for the diameter; just a few strands can hold my weight. Ever try it??

[@mariyadaz]

Excellent as usual. Thanks for passing on your knowledge. Please keep it coming.

[@1Southsidelv]

I use cookie cooling racks from the dollar store as a grill they usually come three the a pack. Way lighter.. and hold up well enough to cook four large rainbow trout.,

[@stewboywsr]

As always Dave great video! you have the nack for teaching.

[@paulnfld1]

Dave, I love the channel and videos! I grew up on the east coast of Newfoundland, so I have had a piece of bank line/fishing line in my pocket for as long as I can remember, so I appreciate its strength and versatility. But with the pressure you illustrated in making those lashings, its likely the only line that would hold up to the torque inflicted on it when you open the tripod, I would venture that almost any other line would break, which would be frustrating at best. Care to comment?

[@opalprestonshirley1700]

That kitchen is better than mine here at the house, well not really but that sure is great setup with great versitility . Thanks for more great advise.

[@doomsdayjoy]

Great video Dave,your the best their is,many many thanks brother.

[@wildmanmo37]

Great job Dave. I learned some stuff off of that one.

[@gregpenny4384]

Another to the point well done video, thanks Dave.

[@Sociopath33]

learned much the concepts I knew but you show very great quality bush craft instead of what I would have made very nice looks eassy once u know what your doing thx for video

[@Toophless1]

Kudos to you for some very good information as well as your instructions

[@pryzmcat]

I'm a greenhorn..I don't know much..thanks for the vids..you teach me a lot:) I miss ya on DS ...thanks for the knowledge:)

[@dakotaryan478]

Clove hitch is better to start the lashing it's what you are supposed to use for most lashings except diagonal on that you're supposed to use timber hitch but it woks better for him though

[@TINMAN]

Again thank you for the pointers Dave,take care

[@justinward1580]

Nice video, thank you for sharing, really appreciate you passing on your knowledge to the rest of us!

[@maxiwildadventures]

another great video just wondered if youre new pack down grill shelf was working aswell as the fridge shelf?

[@mshockley17]

some great tips in this vid dave. gonna definitely put some of these to use. thanks!

[@ExmoorSyn]

And this was the only time Dave ever shed a tear.

[@michael887888]

hey Dave I'm a big fan of what you do thank you for what you do, but I was woundering what kind of shelter do you have set up in this video if you could do a video over it that would be great if not I understand your busy schedule. Keep up the good work.

[@THICKSKIN420]

thanks Dave, your the man, missed you on D.S. this season. Keep the info coming because every trick counts with the million scenarios in the bush, don't pay too much attention to the nay sayers.

[@tzx551]

great stuff Dave as always

[@notsniwoew]

was looking how to make a fire with a bow,stumbled across your chanel on accedent.loved it and subscribed.all thumbs up.

[@hoosierarcher]

Dave this is one of the best vids you have posted. I also want to public thank you for friending me on LinkedIn.

[@LightningGB93]

Another great video I have used the tripod but had to tie and untie pot now I have a better way to put pot on fire Thanks

[@BushcraftForSurvival]

Dave I use the same system pretty much when I am out but I dont use cordage to hang the hook on I use a green branch with lots of "hooks" made from cutting off limbs. I will try the line Idea though as that will be quicker then searching for and prepping the hanger i use but I am curious.... does the heat from the fire weaken the cordage? I know it will effect the wood hanger I use over time

[@PryvatCyan87]

Thanks for another great video. Can't wait to get out try this out

[@gsp0113]

Good video. Enjoyed it, Dave!

[@forestgnome55]

Hay Dave, just a tip, refrigerator shelving should not be used as a fire grate as it is plated with cadmium which is poisonous when heated, better to use an old oven grate which is intended to be heated. Again just a tip, regards and best, Pink

[@mojsmg]

Great stuff Dave, thanks for sharing.

[@fergusrb]

Did I miss something? On the second fraping (did I get that right?) how did you finish it off? Did you put a half hitch around the pole or did you just let it hang down for your pot toggle?

[@brettbeatnick]

I like these videos where you use larger gear Dave. I do more 4wd camping with litte day hikes from base camp.

[@RenThraysk]

Yeah, think a stainless steel trivet might be a better option. I see Ikea sell a 20"x11" for $7 in the US, £4 in the UK, though doesn't look as packable.

[@mysss29]

I think a pipe hitch on the hook would have saved you from carving the notch. I know notches are probably more multifunctional, but the pipe hitch works incredibly well and unties very easily.

[@AlexfromHollywood]

So cool Dave..this city-kid really needs a camping trip now ;)

[@foggyrange]

Great vids. Thanks for reviewing the knots.

[@Freddy7997]

Great video Dave... very nice

[@twitchster77]

Holy hell...lol that's a dam nice tripod! Thank you so much for sharing this man!

[@Waldhandwerk]

Great set up and systems, thanks for sharing. ATB Sepp

[@Stuit3rb4l]

[@rrcaniglia]

You are a good teacher. A natural. Have subscribed. We are going to run a "field day" for city friends and we will have a few bushcraft stations. Will tell them about your site.

[@MrChriscainesurvival]

dave its called a key hole fire pit, boiling the water at back cooking what ever in front

[@goriverman]

Enjoyed your video Dave Thanks

[@lucasvarker]
