Life of a Woodsman - Honey Oat Cake and Coffee

[@f23as]

One of my favorite things in any of Kusk's videos. Whenever he eats something: "mmm! wow."

[@michaelcasteels9040]

Just wanted to let you know that I made these honey oat cakes on my most recent winter camping trip. Your recipe was easy to follow, and they turned out great. Eating the oat cakes with a nice hot cup of coffee and sitting by my fire in the sun was a perfect morning in the woods. Thanks!

[@KuskBushcraft]

Glad to hear!!! Thanks for sharing. Happy trails my friend!

[@conexaooutdoor616]

Com um café desse nao preciso de mais nada . Que receita deliciosa. Parabéns 👏🏼👏🏼

[@ericstoever9577]

The oat cakes worked well and tasted great! Thanks for sharing your time and skills. God bless!

[@kingrafa3938]

Thanks for the video Ryley! Merry Christmas!

[@KuskBushcraft]

Merry Christmas to you my friend! Thank you for your continued support!!

[@andyc5729]

Looks great. Greetings from the UK. Looking forward to snow season.

[@TimLee356]

i'm watching all your videos so you can find a nice place to live in.

[@imawrench]

Feeling a little under the weather, stayed home from work and caught your video. My somewhat unruly stomach thought that might due. Well done on the recipe, easy peasy and very hearty. Take good care, Stephen

[@KuskBushcraft]

Hope you feel better soon, Stephen!!! Thanks for tuning in.

[@petewatson9866]

I was told by a Brazilian coffee maker. This applies to freeze dried coffee beans, put cold water in your cup first, then add your coffee. Wait for the coffee to absorb the water then add the boiling water. When you add boiling water directly to your coffee it burns it, and this is where you get the bitter taste.

[@seedy-waney-bonnie4906]

Very cool.

[@tommythuntdeer]

Mmmmmmm! I know what’s for breakfast in The morning! Thanks for sharing!😋

[@TheMariothedude]

you are always content,and this was another great episode thank you!

[@raybo34]

That recipe does sound good. Great for many situations. I bet it would bake nice in an oven as well. I really like your cup. When we were in the field in the Army they would make coffee that way in a huge pot. After it was done they would let it simmer all day then make another pot in the evening. We'd all dip out canteen cups in the pot. The best coffee. Great for breakfast and long over night shifts.

[@howitsmade5865]

Lovely, thanks, I'll try your Honey Oat cake tomorrow😊

[@commanderwilliam3693]

Hell yeah! 1st here! ive been watching your videos to try and improve my skills!

[@KuskBushcraft]

Thanks for watching!!

[@terrym1065]

Bush food and cowboy coffee...yes sir. Thanks for the recipe, will try this out as it does look good and also another smooth video. Stay vigilant.

[@KuskBushcraft]

Thank you for tuning in!

[@asmith7876]

Looked delicious! Nice camp set up.

[@notanimposter]

Oh I’ve been waiting for this recipe!

[@timothyscott3116]

Ryley, Your channel is by far the best bushcraft channel on YT....

[@KuskBushcraft]

Thank you for your kind words!

[@NorthwoodsRaven]

Good come-back, brother... much better than the first one. It looks delicious! I'll try it soon... just made a bannock according to your recipe, but with gluten-free flour. It's looking good so far, I hope it works out. Happy trails!

[@KuskBushcraft]

Thanks for watching! I hope the bannock turns out good.

[@mukstarterichmukstarterich9426]

I've made one of these delicious pancakes 🥞 today in the woods. The receipt is quite easy to make and it was a nice sticky honeylicious dessert 😅🤤. I could definitely recommend! (I added vanilla sugar instead of white sugar! I can tell : it was a nice combination).

[@barrywalls1138]

Great to watch

[@rickwhitson2804]

OMG I've got to try that.

[@paddor]

Trying it right now!

[@KuskBushcraft]

Hope it works well for you!

[@paddor]

@@KuskBushcraft It did! I love that it wasn't too sweet. Cheers

[@cmh8133]

That looks tasty and filling.

[@advance9572]

Good work brother.. I just made your honey oat from your recipe and it was delicious 😋. The only thing I added extra was a tiny bit of ground cloves. Very good 👍

[@KuskBushcraft]

Glad to hear! I'll give the cloves a try next time I make it. Thanks for sharing!!!

[@juliee9516]

Looks great in cake or crumble variety. Ta for the recipe. All the best.

[@slkelise]

I just made the oatcakes with gluten free flour and they were perfect. It's hard to get gluten free baked goods to have a nice texture sometimes but your recipe works!

[@GA-br8wj]

Nice!!

[@doberski6855]

Great video for the series sir. I think everybody has their own formula for making camp coffee. Love the oat cake recipe and plan on giving it a try. I think the thing that makes it harder to cook well, it that unlike pancakes you don't get those little bubbles in the batter while it is cooking. Have to watch an oat cake more closely to keep it from burning, plus really grease the pan of coarse.

[@KuskBushcraft]

Thanks for tuning in! The oat cake can be tricky to keep from burning. If you're able to maintain a nice low heat and keep an eye on the oat cake it should turn out pretty good. It certainly is quite a treat to have around camp. Happy trails my friend!

[@donaldhederer2038]

Looks delicious

[@jamesreed6558]

Going to give it a try

[@KuskBushcraft]

Hope you enjoy!

[@stephensmith4480]

That certainly did look tasty. I have made Bannock Bread a couple of times so will surely have a go at that. I am not a huge Coffee fan but when I do make it, I make it the same as you with a fresh Grind and I do it on my Stove Top in an Enamel Coffee pot and it works a treat. Many thanks my friend.

[@KuskBushcraft]

Thanks for watching!! Happy trails.

[@dlocknessmonsta8431]

Looks like a nature valley honey granola bar but made into a large pie. 🍯 🥧 I hope you enjoyed it. 🍽

[@KuskBushcraft]

It was delicious!

[@TheDavewatts]

I'll definitely be giving that a go.😁👍🏻

[@stevend9960]

Thats a lovely looking breakfast. I'll need to try that with the coffee, I've never made it in a pot before and I'm curious about what you said regarding the bitterness. I love coffee but have to ration my intake due it unsettling my stomach. I'm greatly enjoying your more regular uploads!

[@KuskBushcraft]

Thank you for watching!!

[@teeeff5179]

your oat cake looked really, really good! i'm a whole wheat flour guy but I imagine that wouldn't damage that recipe too much. ;) 👍✌🖖

[@KuskBushcraft]

I don't think whole wheat would cause any harm. If you try it let me know how it goes. Thanks for watching!

[@elevatorman7750]

Great video. Made me hungry 😂

[@herbsmith6871]

Yum!

[@Mike990920]

The cookie looks absolutely delicious! Though I cannot imagine how you can drink coffee without some form of cream. Even powder moo is better than nothing. Lol.

[@KuskBushcraft]

Occasionally I'll have a little sugar in my coffee, but I usually drink it black. Thanks for watching!

[@johnhenry8839]

I've done the same thing with instant apple cinnamon oatmeal

[@kekipark77]

i like to put my grinds in an empty cup first, and then pour in boiling water into the cup, mix, and add a lil bitta milk

[@KuskBushcraft]

Sounds like a great cup of coffee! Thanks for sharing.

[@MrWilderNapalm]

Get you a camp chef cylinder stove bro and always have plenty of hot water. That coffee looks seriously good covered in oils, man what a good life........

[@nattydred2593]

Thanks. Looked like a nice challenge to try to cook this on a gentle enough wood fire. Will be nice to try. PS I think your pan is warped and not heating evenly. Easy to fix with a level and rubber mallet, or a regular hammer and a block of wood. Takes some patience, but once it's flat it will cook more evenly on that stove. PS it typically warps as a result of uneven heating when empty.

[@KuskBushcraft]

Yes the pan is warped a bit. It was like that when I got it. It does heat unevenly when cooked on a flat surface such as my stove. It still works great over a bed of coals. I really should try flattening it out.. perhaps I'll find time over the holiday season to work on it. Thanks for watching!

[@shericontrary2535]

I bought a can of dried egg powder. It comes in handy.

[@alisigdeniz9286]

Couple of blueberries in that oat cake and you’re flying!

[@Bananeisafree]

Great video , and the cake just looks perfect (yes even with the burnt bit) On the coffee, There is a noticeable difference of taste between boiled and non boiled coffee. I personally really REALLY don't like it boiled, but I won't tell you it's the wrong way to drink it :p. As many things in life, the best coffee is the one you enjoy ! Cheers !

[@brucejones1867]

Great video. The oat cakes will be tried by this man. Do you ever add a pinch of salt to your coffee? It seems to help the 'bitter' taste that strong coffee can develop. Keep on doing what you do. It is appreciated. Merry Christmas!

[@terrydunlin]

Another very interesting and comfortable video to watch in your woodsman series 👍 the oatcake looks yummy and will be packed full of energy. Just one thing, the water you boiled had a yellowish tinge to it? It didn’t look safe to drink? The coffee making technique was interestng and I’ve never made coffee that way before I usually use a small cafeteria. Do you grind your beans or buy it ground? I’m going to try your coffee making method as I’m interested in the less bitter taste you mentioned. Great series, great videos. ❤

[@charlesmckinney]

Honey on an oat cake. You just know that would be good. I love to sit in front of a fire and drink strong black coffee while having a bowl of full virginia flake or 1q if my sweet tooth is acting up.

[@williamstaggjr8432]

I'd like to try that with Apple butter

[@stevefisher2121]

Looks amazing!!!!! Just curious what your coffee of choice is? Take care.

[@KuskBushcraft]

I usually buy Folgers classic roast. Not too expensive and tastes great. Thanks for watching!

[@lisaloo715]

This recipe, minus the water, is what I use for an apple crisp recipe. Using about 3 Granny Smith apples cut up and top with the oatmeal mix. Microwave about 12 minutes. Delicious!

[@KuskBushcraft]

Sounds delicious! I'll have to give this a try! Thanks for sharing.

You didn't bring any Crown Royal whiskey this trip?... like when you carved a wooden shot glass that time.

[@KuskBushcraft]

No whiskey on this trip, just my pipe.

Where do you get all of the supplies? Do you drive a pickup to the campsite and park it off camera?

It's all made in a Hollywood basement 😋

Everything used throughout this series was packed in at the beginning.

I do believe so!

[@steverusso177]

What pot brand is that. Never seen them before????

[@A7XisWord]

We North Americans certainly do suck at brewing a good cup of coffee. If people made it properly there would be no need to add cream and sugar to mask the burnt flavor. Some good tips about brewing instant coffee though, I might have to give it a shot next time I'm out in the bush.

[@Mossyrock6]

Needs raisins!!

[@KuskBushcraft]

Raisins would be great!!

[@susanp.collins7834]

Needs raisins soaked in brandy. You can chuck the leftover brandy into your coffee!

[@matthewterlaga3022]

Why does his honey look like that? It looked like butter or glue

[@teeeff5179]

not unusual for honey to look like that. i know honey specialists have names for different types -- clear ones, cloudy ones, etc -- but yeah, his is not unusual at all.

[@KuskBushcraft]

It's natural creamed honey. I think the consistency and texture depends on how the honey is processed.

[@susanp.collins7834]

​@@KuskBushcraftQuite correct. My friend's daughter's parents-in-law are honey producers. They recently won gold medals in London for the best citrus honey in the world.

[@jabooutdoors]

Margarine?!?! Oh no! Say it ain't so!

[@TriddlerDD]

If the pan was hot before putting it in it wouldn't burn at all

[@jiminalaska]

wheres the snow?

[@KuskBushcraft]

It's almost Christmas and we still don't have any snow. I am quite disappointed in the weather haha.
