9:00 Cooking cans on the fire. Grab the can and thump the side on the heel of your boot. That puts a nice dent in the side of the can. Put the can on/near the fire and when the dent pops out it's ready and still not pressured enough to explode. No shaking, no risk.

You know, I can say with confidence that I know a lot about the outdoors. But there's also the quote from Horace Kephart: "There's no diploma at the school of woods". Meaning, there's always something new to learn. And this video is a proof of that. I didn't knew about this way to cook meat and what about the eggs in the ziploc bag. I would have never thought of that! Excellent video and that's why I love your channel Greg. Down to earth, practical, no fuss, no wham, just pure and simple fun, and knowledge :)

It was when we were camping and had just caught a fish and one of the campers next to us told us that method. Only time I ever tried it and it was amazing how well it worked and how good the trout tasted

[@T779298RA1]

9:32 - The interior of the can is often lined with a layer of polymer or plastic to prevent the food from reacting with the metal. This lining can melt or release harmful chemicals if exposed to excessive heat. For this reason, I recommend puncturing the can creating a tiny hole. You still get all the benefits and sufficient pressure, but not enough static heat build up to melt this layer of polymer to a dangerous degree. Alternatively, you can re-use a can which already had its inner layer of plastic melded, albeit at the cost of a sealed top - but that's where the good ol' foil comes in handy. Just remember to tighten it with a wire or some sort of metal clip - if you can.

[@ChrisM-tn3hx]

6:00 just a quick note for folks that might want to give this a shot - just make sure your rock isn't one from a river. Some folks might be tempted, because they're easy to see and pick up. However, rocks that have been soaking in water for a long time can have moisture seep into the microfractures inside, and can explode when heated. Especially risky if you're trying to use them to create a warm bed. Dry-ish ones are fine. Just not ones that haven't been sitting in a river bed. Loved watching this. Takes me back to when I was a kid. So many of these things I knew what you were doing because I grew up in the woods, too, many years ago. I was just telling my cats last night what a wonderful invention aluminum foils was, and how versatile is was in the woods. With a knife, a tarp and tin foil, you can do just about anything. Yeah. I talk to my cats. I've never had a cat use my words against me or tell anyone my secrets. Anyway, it was a teachable moment for them, and another chance for me to show off my opposable thumbs. I'm a god to those furry little weirdos. My go-to knife is Schrade that does just about everything fairly well, although it weighs a full pound, so it isn't light. They call it a "Reckon Tini" now. Can't recall what they called it when I bought one, but it's a solid knife for the woods, and you can chop wood with it if you use a stick to pound it through. Not terribly expensive, either. Any time I go on a trip up to see my dad, that knife is in the pack I put in my Jeep, (along with my tarp, foil and a few basics) in case something happens somewhere in the middle, where there aren't any people.

I once had a rock explode on me that wasn't from a riverbed! It was up on a mountain, and it was raining a lot, but not at the time. When it was raining a lot of spots formed temporary rivers with all the water flowing down so I guess that made the rock wet for a longer time. It was a kind of slate if that matters at all.

[@riverratranger1427]

Man after my own heart. I learned a lot of this as a scout in the 60s. My brother and I lived in the woods all summer from the time I was 11. I used these kind of tricks on my senior trip... a walking tour of South East Asia with gun and radio. One I'd add... have a couple rocks the size of golf balls with 6" "tails" made of wire for handles. Build a teeny fire and heat them one at a time and dip in your canteen cup of water to boil it for purification or coffee.

Haven't tried it yet but heard slightly denting the side of a can before heating up in a fire is safer. The dent will pop out before it explodes giving you some warning. Was warned to point it away when opening though as contents may spurt out. Also heard you can heat cans fully submerged in water and they shouldn't explode. Both tips came from old soldiers from back in the day when rations were canned and you didn't want to open them until the last minute because you needed to move or were warming something up to bring to one of your buddies away from the rest of the group.

[@douglaswhite1306]

Correct. I was in the US Army 1972 to 74. C rations, in cans, in a trash can that had a diesel fuel heater. Toss cans in, dip them out and eat. Never explodes. Water only gets to 212 degrees never gets to steam temps.

A good concept. Knowing how to get around missing/damaged pieces of gear is great tools for the toolbox.

Boiled water for coffee and tea in lunch bags, as well as the paper coffee cups like you get at Starbucks etc. People don't realize paper burns at F 451' whereas water boils about F 199 at my elevation here. The bag isn't heating up hot enough since the water is displacing the heat...like a radiator on a car. I've even used those tiny Dixie cup to heat a shot or two of water in, during winter camping.

Great teachings. I love to watch this sort of ideas. There is always something new or a little different of applying principles. Its ace. 6:20 after coffee is ready, to be double sure of grounds go to bottom, add a table spoon of cold water in. 9:00 great idea. would be a bit touchy haha, whenever I did that I opened just a few mil, just to stop the pressure cooker. 12:50 never used a plastic bag, but used a sheet of paper to make a paper cup and bring water to the boil on gas stove direct contact as if it were a pan. So long as there is water, the paper doesn't burn. I did that first aged 12 from the back of a book, I still recall how amazed I was that it worked.

[@bakkila99]

It didn't weigh much or take up much room. Another way to cook eggs in a freezer bag is to crack them into the bag, seal the bag with virtually no air in it and put into a pot of boiling liquid [doesn't have to be plain water, it can be broth or soup]. The eggs will be 'fried' in the bag. A Leatherman type tool can serve as an impromptu handle for most anything. These [plus a number of very handy items] can all fit into a small bag about the size of a shaving kit which can be stashed in any car or truck, even on a motorcycle.

Thank you for the down to earth ,educational , honest and commercial free vids. In my younger years while working constr. on a natural gas pipeline I heated canned foods in the exhaust pip of a D-9 cat. Retrieval of the can was accomplished by a little more throttle.

Your mention if issues with aluminum foil brings up a key point most people don't realize...the principle ingredient in anti sweat roll ons is the aluminum is the active ingredient!!!

if you dent the side of the can on a rock it will pop back out when the contents are hot and give you a visual and auditory indicator a few minutes before the can bursts.

In Sweden we drink a lot of coffee and those of us who work in industry or construction workers call our coffee workshop coffee. Strong and almost viscous. So after morning coffee there is a quick queue for the toilets when our stomachs need to be emptied quickly 😅 Your coffee reminds us of our coffee, and I guess your stomach reacts just like our stomachs every morning 😂 Lucky you alone in the forest But nothing beats strong coffee in the morning, and a free toilet nearby..
