Making Corn Flour Cereal.wmv

[@Lawiah0]

One of my favorite go to foods is Rice; carried uncooked in, plastic bag lined, Tube Socks; seal the liners and tie the Tube Socks together; this setup can easily be carried in your backpack or around your neck. My favorite way of eat cooked Rice; add Brown Sugar to taste, Tbs Butter and Milk.

[@mem7048]

One tip I learned from an old Mohawk Indian when I was about 12 years old was to mix equal parts of salted butter with brown sugar together in a plastic bag, and to store it in the freezer. I was told to take it with me whenever I ventured out in weather below 20 degrees F, and to eat it when I was feeling weak or tired, I have done this ever since, and it has helped me at least a half dozen times when I needed an energy burst.

[@rockotter100]

Thanks Dave. Really enjoy this series. Intro shots of you hunting and the fire are excellent. As you teach me, I am able to pass this knowledge on to my son. Much thanks. Keep it up!

[@NeillWylie]

The longer I've been watching your channel the more I like it. There's so much knowledge in here I love it.

[@001madmex]

Dave, After watching your video, I had to come up with my own redetion. So, I took a cup of old fashion oats and ran them thru the blender for a few seconds. I had oat flour to which I added 1/4 cup grits and 1/4 cup farina/ cream of wheat. No I just add 1 tablespoon instant milk and about a third cup of the mix to one cup of hot water, add a little sugar and some cinnimon and I have a quickie breakfast. I have yet to try this on the trail but I believe it shows great promise.

40 years ago in northern michigan my mom would make corn meal mush the same way and every once in awile she would but raisins in it. Thank you for bringing back some old memories.....

[@69Grunden]

Great idea Dave. These series of videos are really great. Thanks for sharing...

[@googIed]

Just some advice for cleaning up some sooty implements. Take a piece of charcoal and a small amount of water and basically scrub the implement down with the charcoal, adding a little water to "grease" it through. IT WORKS WONDERS!

[@NateNorris]

"five second Rule" - love it.Looks good Dave. Love the fork branch pour trick. It's the simple stuff...

[@cooper1768]

i dont know what's been up with you lately dave, but you've put out some of your best videos ever!

[@justinwissinger9659]

Thanks for the vids Dave. Im here in mid west Ohio and me and my buddies watch all your vids and use alot if your teachings. Your a great inspiration to us all. Keep It Up

[@Waldhandwerk]

Hi Dave, ...great reflector wall! Cool, enjoy your meal, ...and thanks for so much videos! Have a great and blessed weekend, Sepp

[@Greatbear1982]

Grits! I love it! Something else some of us do 'round here is mix some sweet corn bread and milk together...great eatin'! Please keep 'Em comin'!

[@deadbishop]

@ramsessilent of course, I'm sure there are endless recipes, I just like watching Dave's cooking segments!

[@BubbaRountreeOutdoors]

Dave... my Grandaddy called that 'mush'... He grew up on it! Dang... I miss him...

[@scruff_uk]

Ha ha, just admiring your 'winter coat' too Mr C! Thanks for another good vid. Stay warm and well.

[@MrLiberty888]

Simplicity at it's best!

[@lmglange]

@bikenutter1 thats what many people it for breakfast in my country. You can also bake bread with ground oat and and some kind of flour. its best with whole grain stuff

[@sanantoniospurs9]

Loved the show man, but damn its good to see YOU posting all the vids again

[@TheWoodsmenJoe]

made me some of this last night while at the camp site, and again this morning, you can put it in boiling water 3 to 1 and stir until it gets real think poor out into a pan eat like that or let gel up then fry it up.

[@PatBoardman]

Cool idea on pouring the boiling water. Love learning new things!

[@McCawley07]

Thanks Dave. You sir are awesome! I cannot wait to get into the woods, and try these for myself. Also I cannot wait to see dual survival 3!

[@blindingillusion]

Get a rougher ground cornmeal and you can do that, then take the "cereal" out when it is good and clumped. You can then toast those "cakes" of the "cereal" over the fire and you have a really great treat.

[@John.Heyman]

Dave there is something else you can do with that. Put a crumbled up biscuit in that cup. Its an old southern thing my Grandmother used to feed me. She'd mix just plain cocoa with water, sweeten it up a bit with sugar. Chocolate syrup on biscuits. You could do that with what you have there, substitute the cocoa with hot choc. Try it, its good.

[@AcceLtheSpecialists]

@bordinco90 He's showing what the longhunters used and did. Since this is America and not an eastern country corn is a lot more prevalent then wheat so it is a lot easier for them to get a hold of a large amount of corn and process that into flour then it is for them to get wheat (which grows a lot more in the east). At least I think that's the case LOL. Btw corn flour taste WAY better than regular flour :D

[@SinghofKings]

The mayans actually used to make a hot drink that was corn meal and chocolate with some chilies. Here is a link to the recipe: it really warms you up on a cool day and fills you up. You could substitute the raw chocolate beans for a raw powdered chocolate. The raw chocolate has endless uses and is full of all kinds of nutrients like manganese, fat, fiber, protein, antioxident, and iron and calcium. It has to be raw chocolate though.

[@jennoscura2381]

Nice! The only thing I would do different is add a little salt. I will have to give this a try. I do low fat, vegan, starch based diet based on Starch Solution. This would fit right in with that.

[@PeterLehman-il5ru]

Dehydrated fruits and maple sugar are also very good in corn flour mush

[@RaceGun75]

Dave really cool trick with the cordage and the bottle and the 5 sec rule rocks great video thanks

[@jdogtotherescue]

i watched your show just this morning and when i went to the store i got myself some corn flour and brown sugar. it just looked tasty.

[@depewrob]

i have eaten this for years in place of grits great vid. yet another use for corn flour/mill good job

[@Broadleafe]

Great use of that toggle and forked stick. So simple.

[@thelastpatriot65]

Looks tasty, adding this to my pack. Keep up the hard work brother!

[@SapphireMists]

I call that corn mush :) You can not add the sugar and add salsa instead and it is GREAT! I know on the trail a person doesn't have that, but if you make it at home..try it if you haven't

[@inbredagogo]

wow, these intros to the videos are getting better

[@sgone0]

Great size carry axe. Is tarp canvas or synthetic? Corn mush is ok and your method mix is great. thanks

[@TheJubalSackett]

Hi Dave just checkin out the now series, looking good,so is the beard!, is the coat wool?

[@Cruiser052]

Hey Dave. I've been meaning to ask this for a while, What do you think about carrying a little alcohol jet stove, such as a penny stove, or a small wood gasifier? Alcohol and the left behind Charcoal have their own versatility. The stoves weigh little and the space these items take up can be offset by storing other items inside them. So I was thinking that it might be useful to carry one or both of these little things.

[@BornRandy62]

I live less than 3 miles from one ethanol fuel plant and 6 miles from 2 more. if the wind is either straight north or straight south it smells like hot breakfast cereal. it is a good situation when the odors from an industrial plant make you hungry

[@mysss29]

haha I realized at around 5:30 that you were talking about HOT cereal. Things started making a lot more sense. ;-) I continue to enjoy this whole series, and I hope to get out and try it all sometime. Oh and I really like the "passing on the tribal knowledge" tagline on one of the previous videos. I like what it says about your videos, as exemplified by this series.

[@drhoden]

Dave, I really appreciate that you wear a cross while making these videos.

[@DigitalTree2230]

great idea Dave on pulling out your container from the fire.

[@scottryker4888]

Came here after watching Gordon ramsay, and I must say, Dave is a MUCH better cook lol

[@lorrainebailey7304]

It call porridge Sweet condensed milk Evaporated milk Vanilla Nutmeg Cinnamon Salt Sugar Just sweeting to your likeness Good breakfast meal 💯

[@mkuhnactual]

Depends on the wildlife in your area I suppose. Personally I like to keep any thing food or food-esque away from where I sleep and suspended from a tree. Most of my camping has been done on the west coast and while I can't speak for the east coast I know here there are quite a few bears and they have very good noses and sealed in a container or not they'll smell it. I used to just hang the food but after having a bear rip into my pack for tooth paste I hang anything with an odor.

" If a lump of coal falls into the soup, and you cannot conveniently get it out,stir it well in,and it will give the soup a French taste." ~ Jonathan Swift~ Happy Trails, Dave *+*+*+*MERRY CHRISTMAS*+*+*+*

[@TheCaryeHoy]

@McHenryAnge the canteen shop sells them or go to the pathfinder school website they sell them .....

[@19841c]

i like that! i use oatmeal myself but cool way to use corn flower....

[@MiWilderness]

You're gettin' pretty wooly there Dave. Nice video! Simplicity!

[@contreeman]

dave i don't have a kitchen right now so i gonna give you a idea and let you tell me if it works. dehydrated eggs and instant grits. heat the water and mix and eat i just don't know about the consistancey but it sounds good to me. let me know how it turns out. GOOD JOB MY FRIEND KEEP UP THE GOOD VIDEOS

[@LaneMaddox00]

dave will go down in history as the next nesmuk like if you agree!

[@TheGrayman1234]

Grits, freeze dried sausage crumbles, salt and pepper. Prepare the same way you just did the cereal. That will stick to your ribs. Yum yum.

[@EDINBURGSTAR]

Love it Dave, been eating it since a child we call it Atole. I make it with maza harina.

[@johnruckman2320]

Haven't had a chance to check out your store yet, just watching some videos on my cheap so so smartphone, but I was wondering if there is basic wilderness cookbook similar to what you are doing in the videos. Too bad household dvd players can't play computer video formats for learning at home where traveling to the Pathfinder school is out of the question..

[@mysss29]

@jdouglasfisher Knowledge counts for more, and improvisation counts a lot too, but your point is well made all the same.

[@maritimeacreshomestead]

great video! was that a grouse you shot at the begining?

[@Maddawwg45]

dave i have a question, u ever watched true grit with john wayne he had in his sack what he called corn dodgers what were those and were they carried alot by frontiersmen ? or was that just holywood make believe and second i love that pack u have were are they for sell at

[@unapologetictv5513]

This should be a curriculum in school!.

[@zachryan10]

when you said "five second rule", it made me chuckle.

[@charlesquick3091]

I had a old guy make something like this on a scout trip back in the mid 80's who added raisins, cinnamon and a little brown sugar... We cleaned the cups out... And begged for more.

[@18thcenturybushcraft]

loved the video , i was actually hoping you would say what was in your pack so it was awesome , tryin to get the single shot 12 ga for christmas

[@stockinvestor1]

I gotta try the trick you use to move your bottle out and into the fire.. how tick should the stick be? Seems kinda like it might be alittle bigger chance for it to slip and spil the water? or is it a good trick?

[@deadbishop]

Great vid, Dave! That's three/four different recipes/food items with cornmeal you've made so far.  Got any more?

[@Krylon103112]

small packs of jam are good in your mush and most the time free

[@nlandoutfitters]

I always like mine watery less i have to drink during the day and the soupyness keeps me warmer or makes me feel warmer.

[@carsiotto]

Dave making an atole! Adding chocolate is a champurrado. Awesome vid!

[@Atkrdu]

@wildernessoutfitters Aren't those a bit hot for that kind of weather? Do you take anything out?

[@goldenscales]

If you are going to be in one place for awhile, how often do you/I change the bed of leaves?

[@joker52mlb]

The beard is getting pretty epic, Dave.

[@shadowstalker130666]

I was wondering what your take on having food in camp is. I've seen people who always insist on suspending a foodbag in a tree well away from camp every nite, others that leave their food in camp. I wanted to know your opinion on it, thanks.

[@dramey03]

the way you poured the water reminds me of how blacksmiths and smelters pour molten medal out of their crucible smart move

[@LEPRASE]

Im little bit off topic right here, but i thought of high rubber boots before, and now i see u wear them, so what would you say:). I mean compared to some leather boots, witch of them are more reliable and what would you choose for what enwironment? Thanks

[@RonRay]

This is good basic survival food that was used a lot in the US by low income families in the 1930s, 1940s and even the 1950s. It was referred to as just "mush". When I was young and we didn't have anything else to eat, my mother also made cornmeal gravy. Trust me, you DON'T want to eat that. :/ Nice hat Dave. Can you tell me the brand and maybe the place of purchase? Thanks.

[@MrHatManS]

I love that pack, where can I get one.

[@JGrous]

@KillerFlyingFish...there is going to be a season 3 of dual survival. But Dave will not be a part of it due to family commitment/pathfinder school commitment.

[@MtnManSam]

I'm also curious as to where you acquired that backpack.

[@kesheth180]

Two things come to mind that me and my dad tell each other a lot, 1. K.I.S.S.-Keep It Simple Stupid, and the 6 P's-Prior Planning Prevents Piss Poor Performance. Great Video by the way.

[@quinntheeskimooutdoors6234]

Thanks and take care.

[@simsghost]

I have went out to a few sports store and haven't found "bank line". what you are using, is it equivalent to 80 lb test braided fishing line?

[@grant9908]

Great videos.

[@jmg1957]

dave...got my sound fixed........thanks for sharing...spiritpipeman

[@inbredagogo]

that's pretty slick idea using that forked branch to tilt your cup, brother

[@TheKodiak72]

@Deriust America does things weird to the rest of the world. Cornflour in the rest of the world is cornflour. in the us, its called corn starch. Cornflour in the usa is generally corn meal. and yes there is a difference between the two. a simple check on the ingredients list should clear it up for you

[@michaelcarter8209]

Outstanding

[@08outlaw450]

Dave how do you like those MUCK boots? reason i ask is myself i can't stand rubber boots my feet sweat to much in them. I bought these dunlop rubber boots and the're rated to -50c. I use them for work, I work in northern Alberta Canada. They keep my feet warm but my feet are soaked with in a few hours of having them on. Last thing I want is wet feet in minus 40-50 temps that just ain't no good

[@DisgruntledVet]

I knew you looked and sounded familiar, lol. I always use to watch Dual Survival. Definitely subbing up.

[@camaro19690]

is that corn flour the same stuff as the Martha white corn meal?im trying to figure out what I need .thanks jason

[@LAVALAVA2.0]

Could you do more videos with you roughing it out in the wilderness please?

[@galenlynore]

Such a homely meal

[@Mozartghost1791]

Where can you get a metal water bottle and a portable woll blanket?

[@neolexington]

Hey Dave what is your axe handle wrapped with?

[@Justin5king]

is that bag made by deluth pack and could u give the details i would need to know to look into purchasing one? thank you

[@VietNormbo]

dave whats better in yr opinion the duluth anorak or gore-tex /

[@AMIRAGHA1101]

I'm in the good part of youtube again, awesome video dude.

[@LAVALAVA2.0]

@wildernessoutfitters could you tell me what kind of cup that is sir?

[@sergeantsilverheart]

i like your fur bag, is that beaver fur?

[@springfield03sniper]

I swear some people must see a video like this and not even watch it but push dislike...how could you dislike a informative video like this???

[@darkmagelover]

@BottlecapAnonymous either works my good man. :D

[@Rikol123]

Awesome vid, thumbs up. :) Down here in SC we'd just call in Grits though. :p

[@gaelicwinds]

great vid as usual bro
