OLD WAYZ #47

HEY GUYS TODAY WE ARE TALKING PUTTING BULK MEAT IN THE FREEZER.

[@timlacy2284]

Bear and Blackie, Thanks for sharing, Old Wayz are the best ways, there has been a lot of Lost Knowledge Forgotten , Always thinking ahead and planning ahead too. need to remember and bring back . Thanks again Sirs for sharing your Time and knowledge and wisdom and experience and passing on the Craft. Tim L.

[@baileybrunson42]

Thank you Tim. We sure do enjoy doing them. Like we say, Old Wayz aren't difficult but do occasionally require some creative thinking..! 🐻

[@mrkultra1655]

Thanks guys . When your sealer finally gives it up, I highly recommend getting the bigger unit, the one with the hose. That with the adapter, then you can vacuum seal mason jars. Perfect for storing dry goods like beans, rice, sugar, salt, flour, etc… Get a big ol bag of those little desiccant pouches, and you can get dry goods to last for a very long time. Sealed mason jars are great for the freezer as well. Blanched and precut veggies, leftover soups and such. Also, I don’t use the fancy bags with the absorbent thing, I just fold up a sheet of paper towel and put it at the top of anything I have that is moist.

[@baileybrunson42]

Great minds think alike Kultra..! I definitely want the bigger one next time..! 🐻

[@oldminer5387]

Good video Bear and Blackie, thank you. We try to buy larger packages to save money. The vac sealer looks interesting, l will check them out.

[@baileybrunson42]

They are definitely worth the investment Miner..! 🐻

[@smoothvern165]

Great information! Vacuum sealers are the best! I can’t wait for the pemmican video, too😃👍

[@baileybrunson42]

Glad you liked it Vern. Yeah, I can't say exactly when the pemmican video is coming up but it won't be too long.. 🐻

[@MichaelR58]

Good video Bear and Blackie , thanks for sharing YAH bless !

[@baileybrunson42]

Thank you Michael and there's more to come..! God's blessings..! 🐻

[@57WillysCJ]

That is the way to do it. You folks should have cold weather vegetables coming in soon. They usually freeze up well if you like it that way. About two weeks after the initial opening of the season growers start to discount them.

[@baileybrunson42]

That's true Willys.. I'll keep my eyes open..! 🐻

[@washburnbilly]

And im looking forward to your pemican recipe, i now have plenty of suet to render down. Thanks for the video brother and I hope that you are blessed!

[@baileybrunson42]

It won't be long Billy. I talked to my brother today about using his slicer to prep the meat..🐻

[@washburnbilly]

@@baileybrunson42 Cool, I look forward to the day of seeing it. I'm not needy, however I would like to see how my guy's do it. Because you are my kind of people. ;)

You're welcome Apar..! 🐻

[@timpearce4255]

This kind of topic is why I subscribed... Thank you Gentlemen

[@baileybrunson42]

You're very welcome Tim. There is more to come..! I'm putting together videos on pemmican making and canning. Buckle up and stay subscribed..! 🐻

[@ostekuste3646]

One tip I use for sealing juicy items, lay them out on a baking sheet and put them in the freezer just long enough to freeze all the juice. Usually overnight is plenty. For things like chicken I also put a drying rack on the baking sheet to let some drainage happen before it freezes.

[@baileybrunson42]

Good advice Oste..! 🐻

[@outbackowl3040]

Hi 🐻 and Blackie, greeting from Australia 🇦🇺, thank you for your time to make these videos. This is a great way to do all meals, the food saver is an excellent machine, l use it all the time, a great investment, you can use for many other things.

[@baileybrunson42]

Thanks Owl..! I really enjoy my vacuum sealer.. 🐻

[@williamdroom5789]

That's a good way to cut down on grocery bills. You can also make 1 person portions to freeze to take camping. Sometimes I will double seal the bags.

[@baileybrunson42]

Thank you William.. I do find that it helps a lot both in cost and in portion savings. By portioning I find that everyone gets full and there is very little waste.. thanks for watching..! 🐻

[@williamdroom5789]

You can do soups and stews too. Fill the bags leaving enough room to seal. Leave them open and put them in the freezer propped upright until they freeze. Then you can seal the bags with no liquid mess.

[@jerrydonnelly6134]

You can marinate it too by hitting the seal button before the all the airs out. you put whatever meat you want to cook and it provides a faster and better marinade.

[@baileybrunson42]

You're right Jerry.. it's an awesome way to do it.. 🐻

[@jerrydonnelly6134]

Hey Bear. Nice hurricane latern in the background.

[@baileybrunson42]

Thank you Jerry.. I like it too..! 🐻

[@williamdroom5789]

Prepare meals and freeze. Then when camping drop the bag in hot water to heat, and it keeps your pot clean.

[@baileybrunson42]

Very true William.. and you can use the hot water for coffee or tea.. thanks for watching..! 🐻

[@washburnbilly]

What's up handsome boys! I just delivered some beef yesterday to my family. It ended up some where around $4.23 a pound. I didn't crunch the exact numbers. Quick tip, if you semi freeze your meat then it won't have juice in the way of the sealer. In a pinch i have used paper towel at the top of the bag and it worked out great. I hope this helps guys.

[@baileybrunson42]

Thanks Billy..! You're right buying in bulk really works well in most cases..! 🐻

[@mrkultra1655]

Also great for sealing important documents that are irreplaceable if you live in an area prone to flooding, or other hardcore weather events. Cash as well, even the bang bang stuff (Pyrodex, primers, ect… wink, wink…).

[@baileybrunson42]

Excellent points sir..! 🐻

[@jerrydonnelly6134]

Bear if it takes too long to suck the air out hit the power button to shut off before it seals and start over. I turn bag over and look at it. It has a smooth side and textured side. The machine likes the seal on one of the different sides. I can't remember which side seals better.

[@baileybrunson42]

Yeah Jerry that's what we thought too. In fact we started putting pressure on the top to help it out..! 😄🐻

[@jerrydonnelly6134]

Becareful buying off brand bags. I did and they didn't seal as good. Have you tried cooking in the bags. I watched a few videos where they do because they are rated for it. I was thinking of making up a meal to boil in a Alcohol Stove. Thanks again for posting your videos passing on your knowledge. Also you two talking stuff reminds me of hanging out with my brothers and buddies. Miss those days.

[@kriscrabtree2935]

thanks for posting this!

[@baileybrunson42]

You're welcome Kris and thank you for being part of our KZbin family..! 🐻

[@willames363]

Thank you both so much y’all

[@baileybrunson42]

You're welcome Will. Thanks for being part of the KZbin family..! 🐻

[@outbackowl3040]

Try to tip a tin of food in a bag , seal up, and try immersion cooking , using tin you like, using canteen cup etc, just a thought, please let me know.

[@baileybrunson42]

We'll do it Owl.. Blackie swears by immersion cooking.. 🐻

[@briarsmoke6046]

Back when I had a house full of kids and a big ol barrel sized barbecue I’d buy chicken by the case like that, marinate the whole case overnight in a cooler, and barbecue the whole mess of chicken. After everyone ate their fill we’d use the seal-a-meal like you did but with the cooled leftover bbq chicken and throw it in the freezer. It made for easy weeknight dinners. Just take out a couple packs the night before and fix a big salad to serve with the chicken. You could just eat it cold or drop the sealed bags into a pot of hot water for a few minutes.

[@baileybrunson42]

Genius.. absolute genius. Examples like this is why we do these Old Wayz videos..!! Thanks Briar..! 🐻

[@rustyknifelover4463]

Yeah I do some of this too.

[@baileybrunson42]

Great minds think alike Rusty..! 🐻

[@JR-5465]

I use a vacuum sealer also but the way my parents did this before vacuum sealers cam out. They wrapped the meat in cling wrap and then put it in a freezer bag it kept it from getting freezer burn also because air didn't touch the meat. I hate cling wrap but it works if you don't have a vacuum sealer.

[@baileybrunson42]

That's good information.. thanks for sharing..! 🐻

[@rustyknifelover4463]

Make friends with a meat bulk dealer. Amazing deals to be had.

[@baileybrunson42]

Very, very true Rusty.. 🐻

[@kriscrabtree2935]

will there be Old Wayz cast-iron Dutch oven cooking in the future?

[@baileybrunson42]

Yeah Kris, I want to. A fellow in my neighborhood stole my deep Dutch oven and caused a setback for me. I know who he is, have witnesses and I have contacted local law enforcement. Those things run about a hundred dollars each. Short answer. Yes. Stay tuned 😉.. 🐻

[@kriscrabtree2935]

I’m so sorry to hear that, i hope you get it resolved. thanks!

[@reneschaap8091]

goedenavond mannen !!

[@baileybrunson42]

Good evening Rene..! Hope you are doing well..! 🐻

[@Bucky1836]

My extra canning racks came in , im looking to can 1/2 pint jars of Beef, Chicken , Pork, etc. Getting brave to try my pressure canner🦝

[@baileybrunson42]

Go for it..! If you need some local help get up with your County Extension Office. They are good people and helping people learn how is what they do..! 🐻
