I may be confused young brother but those bags of corn and peas look like frozen. I have only parched dried corn and peas. dryed blue corn and split peas are really nice and without oil or fat keep a long time too. good stuff! be safe... Ted

[@sargefaria]

thanks brother....glad you enjoy them

[@sargefaria]

Thanks Sepp.....best to you my friend!

[@eskimolishic]

13:30 This might be the Iron Wood Tree (Carpinus caroliniana),also know as the Muscle Tree because of its gray sinewy looking trunk. It belongs to the birch family and the wood was used for tool handles, longbows and canes because of its' great strength. Other common names are Blue Beech and American Hornbeam.

[@sargefaria]

Thanks Lone....not sure exactly how long it will keep

[@thunor100]

hey sarge,thanks for explaining parched corn.i've often read about it but never knew how it was made.as always mate excelent vid. best wishes,john.

[@BillHinson]

With the peas and corn? Will you eat it as is? Or will you rehydrate it before eating ?

[@sargefaria]

pretty much bro....never had it or done it either til this

[@SHANEO1976]

love the knife.I just got my knives of alaskas bush camp knife they look alot alike blade wise that is.great vid.

[@sargefaria]

thanks brother, appreciate it

[@MikeWareoffthebeatenpath]

Never thougth of having parched peas and corn till now, Good idea to keep and I would think no water in them they would last a while. Thanks for the info and as always keep dem coming.

[@sargefaria]

Appreciate that...thank you

[@westvirginiasurvival]

Thanks for answering my question Sarge. I really appreicate it.

[@sargefaria]

Very good man....appreciate that, Havent even got to look into it yet....but that will help. Thanks brother

[@brianboccuzzi7300]

Hi I just want you to know I like all the information from your videos keep them coming!!!

[@renawheat]

I really enjoyed the fire lesson I am going to try it out. How long will it last in the bags non refrigerated?

[@marenkuether-ulberg3311]

I think that it lasts longer dry than refrigerated -- keeps away moisture but you still have to avoid vermin. Shrug...

[@judomoose00]

Great video. Thanks for explaining parched corn.

[@sargefaria]

thank you

[@sargefaria]

Looks cold, but was actually pretty warm today.....high 30's maybe. Not sure exactly how long they will last but should be a while, specially with the breathable muslin sacks to keep any moisture from gathering. I dont mind powdered milk....would never really buy it. I dont need anything to mix with the hot choc really. Not a bad idea for tea tho....might look into that one! Thanks man

[@fieldagent59]

well done, I was wondering how in the hell you were able to grab those cast iron handles on the fire, without gloves, then I noticed these skillets have the wire handles and plastic handles built on. They look a lot lighter than full cast iron also.......great job!

[@sargefaria]

thanks brother

[@sargefaria]

They used to just eat it like it is, couple hand fulls a day would keep them going. It swells up in your stomach. You need to drink lots of water as it will dehydrate you as well Thanks bro

[@Nativesurvival]

Awesome Series Bro, looking forward to more installments ; )

[@sargefaria]

usually just sccop out any debris but leave the oil in it, light coat. Once in a while i will wipe it out with a rag or papertowel

[@poidog22]

Looks good. Thanks for the vids Sarge.

[@sargefaria]

Thanks buddy

[@DesignatdSurvivalist]

[@sargefaria]

lol, thanks man........Boston, MA

[@robertk3850]

Good video, I enjoyed this very much.

[@mountainlonghunters8871]

Nice job...looking forward to the Nessmuk series. Really liked that book too.

[@sargefaria]

Thanks bro!

[@sargefaria]

thanks rena....not sure how long it lasts to be honest

[@ChrisCollier]

Good video, can't say that I ever seen someone saw wood with it behind his knee - seems to work!

[@JDKnifeworksjoedishaw]

interesting, as always derek...might have to try the parching out of curiosity...i like a little more dirt in mine though[toughens you up][ha]...joe in ny

[@homesteadinarental]

Nessmuk series COOL.....That will be a really cool set of vid's... I want to see the way you make Pemmican..... Greeting Tim

[@sargefaria]

Appreciate it man, thanks

[@mc_cpu]

These videos are art.

[@sargefaria]

yes i will still be running my own thing aside of working with dave. set it up brother and send me a PM....if its worth my while i would love to go there and teach!

[@sargefaria]

Thanks Yuchi....you do the same huh

[@Ramblinsm73]

Have been enjoying you videos. Keep up the good work.

[@ramsessilent]

Looks good bro, few things of note the cast iron took longer but it would have made better because the heat is more even. As you noted the ones you did not use oil on parch faster of course the point is basically dehydrating them, but if you use a little oil and some seasonings salt, pepper, garlic, what ever you like it will take a little longer to dry out, but make for much better tasting snacks.

[@sargefaria]

thanks man

[@sargefaria]

right on man...gotcha

[@sargefaria]

Yes Sir!

[@walleyefishinrod3115]

good vid brother. Lots of info. I'm really enjoying the series. Keep up the great work. Take care...Rod

[@sargefaria]

sure is

[@survivewithout]

just got me some cast iron I cant wait to give it a go. is that sweet corn or does it matter? I would like to try it out also.

[@moty0708]

Great video brother!

[@sargefaria]

It was both mitch and i playing (he was the better sounding haha) and part one is an older video that i added.....they are all in the playlist if you go to my playlists

[@sargefaria]

part 1 is an older video i shot while deployed, but fits in good with this series i thought so i added it

[@sargefaria]

amazon brother

[@themoodybobby1]

Great video. You know i made a video on all this going on with Dave and evidently some of the people making bad comments were subscribers of mine and left good riddens thanks for all you do brother and being s genuine guy

[@survival919]

hey sarge! great vid. where can i get a container like you have your oil in?

[@maritimespook]

good stuff brother!!!!

[@sargefaria]

yup...these were frozen. will work either way

[@Waldhandwerk]

Hi Derek my good friend, "cool" fire, great upside down. Best meal as usual ; ) Have a fine Day buddy.

[@sargefaria]

LMAO.....sure man, if you would like to send some, i will surely try it out! Pretty darn nice of ya

[@sargefaria]

Go on my main page here....i have a playlist made. Or just go to my playlists haha....they are all there

[@MrOxbone]

Could you use dry split peas as well ?

[@marenkuether-ulberg3311]

Or whole dried peas? Admittedly it seems less critical for edibility than dried parched corn. The peas & corn together are a good whole protein. However, the ancient/contemporary process of nixtamalization (basically boiling your corn w/ lime (calcium hydroxide) or wood ash, then let to steep over night, pour off the lime water and rinse well. This releases your corn of toxins and hard hulls; and allows the maize to soften and swell, & make available Vit. B3 (niacin, which the lack of sickened Europe), +35% proteins, 45% calories, and 50% calcium. I'm going to experiment w/ whole dried peas this weekend, but I have my doubts.

[@sargefaria]

You're just a wealth of friggin knowledge man! Thanks for the tips....and bacon is ALWAYS good hahaha Take care bro

[@ronaldthomas3528]

curious. isn't this done with dried peas and corn? probably be a heck of a lot faster.

[@sargefaria]

thanks man....ya, was mitch and i lol

[@sargefaria]

Ya....should be pretty cool bro. Waiting to get all my ducks in a row and then i will start filming Take care buddy

[@phrankus2009]

Potched peas and potched corn ... check ! I was thinking that a British Forces MILLBANK (water pre-filter) BAG would make a very nice pouch for the ground corn and/or peas. ... Could clamp the top of the bag between two sticks and roll it down ... tie the ends of the sticks together and, if need be, attach a length of cordage as a messenger strap.

[@marenkuether-ulberg3311]

Just a maybe grousy point: unless you're going to use the peas (or corn) rightaway, won't storing partially pounded peas just subject them to spoilage very soon?

[@sargefaria]

Too easy buddy! Thanks for your time to watch my videos ; )

[@sargefaria]

cool man. No, this was "cut corn"...but sweet will work also, prolly better actually. Thats why i went with sweet peas lol. Give it a shot man

[@foxwalker1111]

that looks like a good snack ... how did the corn taste ?

[@westvirginiasurvival]

Thanks Sarge. I'm gonna try this soon. How do you use the Corn? Do you use it like cornmeal? Thanks again.

[@beeman715]

Great video Sarge loved the camera angles and the music. Was that you and Mitch playing? Anyway awesome vid man, gonna try this with my kids.

[@sargefaria]

Nice!!! be cooking some more venison here soon myself lol

[@sargefaria]

thanks man......and with your YT name, looks like I better be on my "A" game when it comes fishin time ; )

[@sargefaria]

ya....prolly would man

[@cads2880]

very good video ... again lol, thanks for your awesome work alone and in Dave's Cabin fever serie. i just check your web site, do you still operate your own school ? what about a class in Quebec, Canada? i have the perfect place for it if you are interested. im sure we can make a few groups large enough to be worth the traveling.

[@EatCarbs]

How'd they taste? Any good? I've been wondering this for awhile now.. why do you say "Stay with me" at the beginning on the video? There's no commercials or anything... just curious. Thanks for the video bro =D

[@jugado219]

Bro I know you heart it all the time but ...Nice vid... Like Allways. 3 things, 1st it looks really cold lol...compared to me using the AC here in FL,2nd how long does the peas and corn is good for 1 day ? 3rd do you like powdered milk for your hot chocolate? If yes why not carry a bit in a lil bag? Is the flavor of the milk?

[@jugado219]

Ohh I've been looking for the frontier skills PART (1) but can't find it

[@sargefaria]

Eat it just like it is! Sure it wouldnt be bad throwing it in with something too tho. Maybe i shouda added some to my Ramen haha

[@moty0708]

Is that the trapper knife?

[@sargefaria]

thanks joe haha

[@DesignatdSurvivalist]

two questions for you brother... is that mitch on guitar and what was part one of the frontier skills series?

[@sargefaria]

Eh....i mess with it. Wouldn't say I "play" lol. Thanks bro

[@spence0324]

So basically you were making Corn Nuts? Without the salt? Never had parched anything so.... wondering.

[@cavalryscout123ok]

How do you clean your cast iron skillets bro?

[@sargefaria]

wasnt bad at all bro. could have used a touch of salt tho lol

[@jugado219]

I can't find it I've seen all your vids lol... But that one. Bro my mom is cuming back from Costa Rica next week from a business trip and asked her to bring me some powdered milk from there,cause the one made in USA I don't like not the USA things aren't good they are GOOD but not the powdered milk, any ways if u like I can sent u a bag of it, it brain new so u don't think I'm gona poison you. It is the best powdered milk I've EVER had EVER and stays good for a long time .

[@survivewithout]

[@sargefaria]

Not bad bro. Say that so YOU wouldnt leave....wanted you to watch the whole video LMBO!! jk take care Eat, thanks
