[@johnleonard4261]

I absolutely love your sense of humor and share the same love for ribeyes. Grilled is great; however the way you cooked in this video has become my favorite. Thanks for your service to the country and the bushcraft community

[@chasmotsinger8673]

What kinda string are you using for this trap?

[@mistastabs5840]

It's a shame you couldn't find a cold beer plant, they go great with wild ribeys...

[@TheSurvivalSummit]

Well it's an aquatic plant actually but our water source didn't have any. We did find a Whiskey Vine though.

[@mauricesimonscrubbs7425]

🤣

[@ballsflying]

😂😂

[@cavemanNCC1701]

A sense of humor is missing from so many bushcraft videos , it's refreshing to see . Laughter helps you absorb knowledge and thirst for more .

[@TheSurvivalSummit]

I 100% agree! I try and incorporate humor in all of our films which was really easy to do with Josh, amazing guy! We got some great bloopers in the upcoming film with him.

[@vincegordon6830]

Ok THIS wins Best KZbin Of The Century Award! 😂😂😂

[@MrGlobalTransport]

Somewhere in the woods Corporal Kelly is answering those three riddles...

[@MrGlobalTransport]

Just set 10 of these ribeye 🥩 traps...found out it’s frowned upon in the deli section of the grocery store. Awesome video though, seriously best one yet!

[@madcapmagician6018]

😂😂😂😂

[@PRico1966]

Lmao 😂😂😂

[@TheSurvivalSummit]

Yeah those traps are not human to the Karen's shopping... Good thinking though! lol

[@system6195]

Your the first person to take the time to show the triggers...Thank you.

[@98TVMan]

Video took a funny turn there I wasn’t expecting. Thanks for that. Enjoyed it.

[@alstone5559]

Hahaha I love how carried away he got on this. It's so refreshing having someone teaching survival who can have a laugh unlike so many others who take themselves too seriously.

[@GrayBeardedGreenBeret]

It was a lot of fun to make. It was nice being filmed so I didn't have to worry about the cameras and audio and all that. So much less on my plate, I could just teach and be myself. You'd get a kick out of the medical film blooper video I uploaded

[@JeffLatimer]

@The Gray Bearded Green Beret... please that would be really great!

[@TheFlyingKiwiNZ]

I love the straight faced humour! Not even a snicker in the background

[@charleszimmermann7784]

Well played SIR, well played!

[@igy648]

I wasn't expecting the laugh I got out of watching a video on setting survival snare traps. I think the thing I miss the most from being in the Army is the way we would laugh. Thanks for a great video

[@newlife155]

Wow , another side of the Grey Bearded Green Beret.!!

[@2bonosc]

Thank God I have a notebook , this is pure Gold. I’m going to do the same video and say it was all my idea! Yesss!!!

[@kenjr9396]

That was Hilarious!!! The straight face just makes it even more funny!!!

[@tony7106]

By far the best trapping videos on the web. 🤣 this has made my day. Keep on keeping on brother!

[@ducci00]

Perfect PLF. And I’m absolutely showing this to my 9 year old and he’ll be out looking for buried garlic and pepper trees before the end of the vid.

[@doallthingswell]

This is when I knew this subscription was a win. Gotta cut loose and have fun some time!

[@mryan2010]

Talk about the Garden of Eden! Love your foraging technique!

[@bushecho7281]

If we really watch and listen to the video, there is some great info there. Cheers. And some humor.

[@toddnewsom8129]

Great change of pace. I definitely needed that. Two thumbs up.

[@austinr6697]

God bless you for your humor

[@richardreinhardt2542]

Great video. I enjoy the humor. I am going to increase my snares now.

[@phillipmerritt1428]

Lot better than the ribeye steak hunt. I've really enjoyed your videos I believe they are helpful. Keep them coming thank you

[@afreundification]

I laughed loudly when i saw the steak in the snare. Thoroughly enjoyed this one

[@AlexGSAdventures]

I genuinely wonder how many people went looking for pepper trees and salt plants after this video! HILARIOUS! Thanks again for sharing

[@Bhodge109]

Having a sense of comedy in the video along with seriousness, and informational, makes these such quality videos. Well done!

[@woodcraftmensan6062]

It is really nice to see a video like this one every once and a while. Most excellent job. See if you can convince Dave to throw one up like this.

[@mrsethatwood]

i second this motion

[@TheSurvivalSummit]

@@mrsethatwood I third this motion! Can we make this happen Josh?

[@chuckbodnar5756]

Holy Crap!!! After intently watching the spring trap video I nearly fell off my chair at your spring trap RIB EYE catch. Really funny!!!

[@jameshartley6315]

I was sitting here a 1000 miles away from my wife and so. That have covid. And I’m worried to death. And I am browsing your videos. This has been the most fun video/time I’ve had in two weeks. Thank you!

[@lobopropredatorcontrol]

You are a lot better trapper and gather than me! I normally catch cridders guts feathers and all😂great video 👊🇺🇸

[@millennialsleadtheway5453]

Looks like I found something new to binge watch

[@khw1425]

I want to thank you for making this video. I was in a plane crash over a denny's and was able to set these around the back room...then they called the cops on me and I had to run into the woods, where I used the skills from this video to trap rip eyes, find black pepper branches, salt leaves, wild garlic, and even met the wild boar elder and answered his riddles. The steaks I made were so good I opened up a competing steak house down the road which put the denny's out of business. Unfortunately this blew my cover so I'm writing this from jail...but the steak house is still there.

[@joeybowser6624]

ok, that humor just made me a big fan lol, good stuff, totally cought me off guard from you of all people . Hope to see more like this.

[@jamesbaldwin9969]

I do have to say I knew about the pepper tree and the salt bush but I have not had the success of catching a wild caught ribeye. I'm hope this video will give the success I've been striving for. I have to set more traps. I've only done 2 or 3. Thanks for this amazingly informative video.

[@chrisbearnson9578]

Phenomenal! Best video you have made to date. Nice to see this side of you.

[@kenbarrett2500]

Fantastic sense of humor .. only thing missing was some wild portobellos to top that freshly caught ribeye with

[@stephenjohnson6841]

Great video. Thank you for your service and sharing your vast knowledge!

[@Stoney_AKA_James]

Behind you I think I see a red grape vine! Good PLF buddy!!

[@autschdarge8470]

Came for some knowledge, staying for the entertainment. Way to be brother, thanks for helping brush back up on my survival knowledge from back in the day.

[@outdoors-university]

My brother thank you for your valuable information and your positive energy! Stay safe and have fun!

[@LivingthedreamDIY]

Thank you for your service. The training you went threw is very tough. I brother told me a little of what he went threw. When did you serve you might have served with him.

[@GrayBeardedGreenBeret]

SF service was ‘04-‘08, 7th SFG at Ft. Bragg.

[@LivingthedreamDIY]

Brother was Master Sgt. Howard W. Noe, 5th special forces

[@paulcass3180]

Enjoyed the levity!

[@johnanderson2217]

Always enjoy your videos. From what I remember the Green baret soldiers were teachers. You learned your lessons well, keep up the good work Young fellow.

[@isshinryu11]

Love the humor! ! Nice touch for your light weight bug out system, a cast iron skillet!!

[@aosalias]

Probably one of the most legit trap videos, followed up with some low ego humor. Just what I expect from actually competent folks. Cheers

[@siohbon2]

This is the first time I’ve seen this. It’s 2years old. Thanks for The snare information. I am laughing my head off about the pepper, salt and the snaring of a steak. When you said to get a branch of the pepper tree, I thought you were serious. There are pepper trees but you use the berries.😂 razorback riddles lol, A whole clove of garlic with no root or top to it in the ground. 😆You have a great sense of humor.

[@davidnachbaur6805]

Really!!! Seriously!!! All that yummy and you had to torcher us anyway. Thank you 😊

[@dannyh9010]

Your area of operation is rich with resources! Wild sirloin is so much better for you than store bought, too,

[@MrAjusog]

8:01 Wasnt expecting the funnies, good stuff...

[@DWerner7822]

Nice catch on the Ribeye. Been about 3 years since I've trapped a Ribeye.

[@josephb7460]

Outstanding. I enjoyed it and learned how to identify seasonings in the field...................

[@doyletech623]

Well I looks like I've been doing this my whole life . Nice to see your sense of humor side

[@larryhewgley4678]

Really appreciate your humor man, great video!

[@jasonpettit9984]

I have learned so much from you,,,Thank you sir,I appreciate your time and knowledge,see ya in the next vid...

[@andygable7504]

Great humor!!! Love it!! Thx, for the trapping tips too!! Thank you.

[@kurohikes5857]

I was hiking over a pass and the weather went bad on me, freezing rain and high winds. Felt like the wind was going to blow me off the trail. I never felt wind like that and in a short period of time I went from totally fine to freezing, wet and losing dexterity in my hands. I found some natural cover and put my tarp up in it and I got a fire going, everything was wet but I had fatwood and tinder and I got that goddamn fire going! I learned that here. Who knows what would have happened if I didn’t learn how to use fatwood. I never even heard of the stuff before. So thank you! Yo... that ribeye is equal to a grizzly mating call!

[@JohnSmith-bh8um]

Awesome brother. Pass those skills to your kids. In a world where the government wants you dependent on them and this failing economic system, you can only rely on yourself to feed your families.

[@TheSurvivalSummit]

That's amazing! I was introduced to Josh's videos a few years ago and have learned so much from them and learned a bunch of new skills during this production. He has a great way of teaching skills simply and focusing on the useful fun skills instead of the fancy over the top stuff.

[@dannpd1955]

As a teenager I had a trap line every year during the winter months as furs were at their peak as far as prices in the late 60s and early 70s. I grew up poor and couldnt afford store bought traps and became very proficient at using figure 4 dead fall traps. My targets were raccoons, ringtails, foxes and the occasional bobcat. I never once caught a rib eye, but Im learning. Thanks for your video, it brought back many good memories for me.

[@sniper12121991]

Fantastic video. Love the humor. Can't wait for the full thing!

[@TheSurvivalSummit]

I guess I should stop commenting and get back to editing then.... No complaint, this is a fun film to edit!

[@inthewoodswithbigfoot3941]

Dude! You are a straight trip! What is sad is that someone will run across this and believe it. That's awesome and I feel on the floor! You go Man!

[@kakegarcia8056]

So much fun, this video made my day! Best regards from a Venezuelan follower!

[@3blackguitars995]

Nice touch with the rib eye,that was pretty slick lol!

[@jimk1970]

Hahahaha! I love your sense of humor on this video. And not only did you get a ribeye to spring your trap and dangle there before you cooked it and had it for dinner, I see you also snared a varmit there in the comments! Hat’s off to you, good sir! Hahahaha!!!

[@TheSurvivalSummit]

Always keep a clean campsite or the scavengers will give you a visit LOL

[@jamessix60]

Good tips and some good fun. Great job.

[@MichaelR58]

Joshua, thanks for sharing, that was classic, wild edibles, God bless !

[@odgreenoutdoors20]

ROFL , THATS WAS AWSOME !, I like seeing some good humor in the bushcraft community, good job

[@NearlyNativeNursery]

very good and creative . always enjoy your videos Thanks.

[@ForsytheBushcraftBlades]

That was absolutely hilarious! Loved it!

[@brianmiller909]

Man those wild ribeye are rare around my parts lol , funny an excellent video bud.👍

[@SurvivalTheory]

Dang that looked delicious. I thought you were going to flip it in the pan during those close up cooking shots. Thanks for sharing, keep up the good work!

[@TheSurvivalSummit]

We ended up catching two that night and it was the best steak I have ever had in my life. I guess it was the fresh ingredients... I've had some amazing steaks over the years but this one took the cake.

[@jr618]

LOL!@the steak catch! Well played sir, well played!

[@Finom1]

Bless you for sharing your wisdom with us. Some great comments on your channel.

[@sw33n3yto00]

Awesome work. Oklahoma only has feral NY strips, which are an invasive species and no bag limit.

[@Bob-eo3gf]

Excellent Ribeye, and thank you for the time and effort you put in this video to show us something new. Ignore the haters!

[@angry-odinestbb3263]

Absolutely love your channel, keep doing what you're doing. You rock brother

[@theartofshwa]

Beautiful cut at 8:02, by the way.

[@TheSurvivalSummit]

Thanks! Good ol whip pan cut FTW. Good eye

[@chiphungerford]

Great video, I have never been that lucky the rib eye always seems to elude my traps. I have dug some pit traps and caught a herd of hot dogs

[@darellgriffin8177]

Love it!! I bet i could find a pepper tree next to where I've been getting my fat wood.

[@madcapmagician6018]

Very informative I learned something's ... Thank for your time and effort😁😁 and your humor🤣🤣

[@chillindave1357]

Nice catch bro! And so efficient too! Lol 👍

[@williambeal9567]

sir.. I gota tell ya that caught me off guard ..I haven't laughed like that in a long time. Thank you

[@leonardcontarino7940]

thanks for the video, I'm setting out 20 snares. Gonna get me some wild rib eye

[@jasonvickers2265]

I was taught it's not proper hunting etiquette to hunt on top of someone else's spot... But brother if I find that sweet spot I'm there. Hope there are plenty of salt bushes and pepper trees to go around. 👍

[@billdavis1963]

Lol, love it ... that’s why I enjoy watching you and Shawn Kelly! Very Entertaining... Don’t pay attention to the “whiners” keep up the great work👍

[@TheSurvivalSummit]

Bill Davis Humor is a necessary survival skill for life lol

[@billdavis1963]

The Survival Summit it is

[@kentondurrant8017]

Great video. I had a great laugh at it. Keep up the great job and keep living your dreams.

[@averagejoe5030]

Great video!

[@MrFlavadave]

Love the dry humor.. snared a ribeye.. packed a pepper grinder. Pack weight? Like the honey badger, he doesn't give a shite. The man is gangster 😎

[@radb9501]

You really killed it with your "seasoning". I couldn't stop laughing. 👍✊🌟

[@PerspectivePossibilities]

Love/appreciate the video man! What im tryna figure out is, how do you make the actual snare & how does it tighten?!

[@rogervarju1556]

Love the humor.

[@nonconformist9930]

lmao! i caught a nice rib eye at safeway two nights ago. it was great. love the dry comedy.

[@masonstormer]

Gold, loved it Moving to Ohio soon Ill see ya in class

[@MyTube4Utoo]

I've found that if you put at least 15 traps out, you'll usually get a ribeye AND a potato (not baked). Anything less and it's usually a round steak and fries.

[@madcapmagician6018]

Lol 😁

[@justinsmith8161]

OMFG!... now I'm expecting to see bushcrafters/survivalists on yt... waiting for their traps to catch, clean and gut their food for them, while they wait for nature to provide the condiments to compliment their catch. 🤣🤣🤣 Brilliantly done I'll be expecting a name change soon... The Mysterious & Magical Grey Bearded Green Beret performing at a forest near you soon. 😂

[@shaneneedles2118]

After 11 hours at my physically taxing job today, it is really a special treat to get to kick back on the couch with my favorite survivalist teacher and a big jar of liquid pain killer, especially seeing that you are in such fine form this evening. I enjoy seeing that your trapping skills have progressed to the point that you no longer consider it a difficult thing to snare the elusive Ribeye! And a fine catch that was too! I need to look up those salt plants to see if they will grow in a zone three, they don't grow wild around here so I have to resort to the longer process of driving for an hour and fighting my way through the hordes of blank eyed zombies at Walmart hoping to find an unmolested pinch of sea salt! Anyway, good talk Sir! You are welcome to stop by anytime!

[@raymondbirch1367]

Awesome catch!!! Thanks for the information.

[@johnburgin7478]

Guess I need to start setting snares .Did not know about the wild ribeyes . Nothing better than a great steak over a fire

[@mickjacobs8295]

Great video and a laugh, thanks for posting

[@PiotrS-a]

Spring Pole? I'm a Pole and ain't spring in Poland yet ;) ;P Nice video :)

[@titotrueba3332]

😛 definitely trying to catch game like that 🤣🤣🤣👍 nice video as always.
