[@Reallybigmonkey1]

Richard Ackerman Thanks Richard! I love hearing that. Its a very good thing to think Ive made a good difference in folks lives by what I do. Take care and Thanks for watching

[@vyacheslavioffe268]

Richard Ackerman it's interesting cooking system , but I think it's way to much to carrying in back pack !!)) any way I was really enjoy watching this video !!))

[@igitahimsa5871]

Well now I have seen it all. Slicing a tomato with an axe. What a fun video! I think your hanging bowl is great, too. Thank you Dave, for another winner :-)!

[@Reallybigmonkey1]

Lol, if your axe is sharp enough there's nothing you can't cut! I'm glad you liked it and thanks for watching my friend

[@JustInCases72]

Still fun going back and watching your older videos

[@Reallybigmonkey1]

Thanks for watching em John!

[@ALWhiteAuthor]

All these older videos popping up in my feed. Loving it. Great stuff, David.

[@Reallybigmonkey1]

I'm glad you like em all. Thanks for watching

[@beaniegreen4849]

What a great attitude you have; you are so ingenious with endless ideas! Your food looked good!

[@Reallybigmonkey1]

Thanks! I try and keep things as upbeat as possible. The food was fantastic!

[@vincemichl8462]

Only found you in 2016. Looking back at all your postings. Learning a lot. Thank you. BTW, you laugh is infectious!

[@Reallybigmonkey1]

Thank you Vince!

[@mccoyburgess844]

You can tell it’s a Plumb axe by the red epoxy filler on the top end of the axe. Love this video. You are quite the creator with your various cooking/fire tools! Love this video.

[@Reallybigmonkey1]

Thank you McCoy! Yep, it's a Plumb. My grandfather bought it brand new

[@ruththinkingoutside.707]

Cute one! :) .. I like those 'one pot' meals! Good to put on and stir once in a while as you do other camp chores. :) Thanks for sharing this with us David!

[@Reallybigmonkey1]

+Ruth Elgers Thanks Ruth! Yep, nothing beats a one pot meal. I have often used this set up over a pile of coals and slept while it slow cooked. LOL. Thanks for watching

[@ruththinkingoutside.707]

+Reallybigmonkey1 .. Ohh.. Now THAT is a GREAT idea! Lol .. The food cooks while you get a NAP! That'd be much better than chores! ;) lol .. I can say with 100% confidence that a nap in the woods, in a hammock (of any kind) is the BEST sleep!! :) there's nothing like it! .. Well, except when you wake up because the dog is freaking out at the momma bear with 2 cubs walking into camp.. Lol .. That is NOT a fun way to wake up.. :) that's what you get for being a decent cook, sometimes EVERYBODY wants to eat it! ;) ha!

[@BeyondInvestigation]

Dave, you are a nut! And man, that is downright entertaining... You make learning the survival skills a lot of fun instead of the "world is coming to the end" attitude of others on KZbin. Thank you for the fun and knowledge! Keep up the fun!

[@Reallybigmonkey1]

LOL, I can't help it I was born a nut. No end of the world panicking for me, it's all about fun! Thanks for watching!

[@BeyondInvestigation]

From one nut to another, thanks for the laughs and good ideas... By the way, as I am watching the red beans and rice and alligator axe cooking, how did the beans/rice mix blend with the alligator?

[@Reallybigmonkey1]

They blended perfect. This was one of the best red bean and rice dishes I ever made!

[@redskin4040]

You come up with some of the neatest ideas that I've ever seen. Love your videos.

[@Reallybigmonkey1]

Thank you my friend! I try my best to only show never before seen stuff!

[@shovelheadman1]

All I know is you made me hungry. Once again my friend. Your cooking system with the cutting board and table is awesome. Great recipe too. Thanks for the video. Gonna have to go to the grocery store.

[@Reallybigmonkey1]

Barry Koch LOL! I know Ive done well when ever my video made someone hungry. That little cutting board and cooking set up have worked fantastic for me so far. Give it a go brother.

[@GeorgeBurgers-xt5hr]

11 years later and it is still a watchable entertainment video with methods and means to be copied and modified. The alligator farm here in Colorado is over the divide and into the next big valley near the sand dunes. Been by there a few times but never stopped in. They raise tilapia there and the alligators get the byproducts. You have improved your video and teaching techniques over the last decade but the basics are still the same. Thanks for another great video.

[@Reallybigmonkey1]

Thanks George and I'm glad you liked it! That's great they raise gators and tilapia. Tio much of that stuff is imported from China. Amazing how much I've learned about filming and editing over time

[@RealityStar9]

Its said that there is virtually no more land exploration for outdoor adventurers likes ourselves but land isnt the only thing to discover in the outdoors. What you are doing is a modern day outdoor pioneer with your new innovations so rock on pioneer Dave.

[@davidleasure9138]

Those red beans and rice with alligator meat looks so good. Really like that cook system too. Awesome cooking there Mr Dave. Thanks for sharing and bon a petite

[@Reallybigmonkey1]

Thanks Brother! Man if you've never tried Alligator meat you need to if the opportunity arises. Its very different. Take care and thanks for watching David

[@nancynieves4469]

I like the way you do things and you have a good positive and you got a good sense of humor are you so funny I've been laughing throughout with the alligator food the rice and beans that's nice I'm keep it up I'm going to be watching your videos now sincere Nancy 🤗

[@Reallybigmonkey1]

Thank you Nancy!

[@firek999]

Love your vids and ideas. That is a seriously sharp axe. Awesome stuff.

[@Reallybigmonkey1]

Thanks, I'm glad you liked it all. Man that is an extremely sharp axe!. Thanks for watching

[@hcchang99]

Awesome awesome, keep that knowledge coming Dave, the Wolf from Boston, by the way 100% disabled ,but this all helps to keep me camping, never ever give up,thanks

[@Reallybigmonkey1]

Thanks Brother, I'm glad you liked it. I hope to bring a little of the outdoors to ya for years to come

[@jamescrowe7892]

I have been enjoying your videos up to this point. Stopping right here to to get ready for my evening out with the family. I wanted to jump through my TV screen to help you eat that meal. Man, it looked good. I'll pick up with the next video a little later.

[@Reallybigmonkey1]

Enjoy family time and I'll see ya in the next one! Oh, this Alligator was delicious!

[@trooper2221]

I've picked up lots of ideas too from Dave's videos. Sure glad he takes the time to make em

[@Reallybigmonkey1]

Thank you my friend! I do love making the vids.

[@Reallybigmonkey1]

Cool! Im glad you liked it. Yep, the Wok is an awesome cooking tool. This bowl is pretty much like a Wok. I think its great that you use one. I would like to see some pics if you have them. Take care and thanks for watching my friend.

[@Reallybigmonkey1]

Sounds cool. I bet the scouts will love this. Not only is it a fun way to cook but its a very easy way of cooking quite a bit of food for several people. The bungees make it very easy to set up and even easier to adjust over the height of the fire. If you cant make a ring all you need to do is drill small holes in the lip of the bowl to attach wire or small cables to then attach to bungees. Good luck and thanks for watching my friend.

[@mannybonilla8774]

Good food is worth waiting for. Simple ingredients makes GREAT comfort food. Thank you sir.

[@Reallybigmonkey1]

+Manny Bonilla Absolutely, nothing good is ever made fast. Thanks for watching Manny

[@TheHonestfictionist]

I love your laugh, it made the video so enjoyable to watch! Great video David!

[@817chadwick]

You always have the coolest cooking set ups!

[@Reallybigmonkey1]

Thanks Chad!

[@Reallybigmonkey1]

Thats pretty cool, Ive heard the birthday thing on two other videos. Thats cool that you live in Asheville. Ive been there many times. My father in law used to own a box company that was located in Hendersonville not far from Asheville. If I remember right he said the Biltmore estate was just over the mountain from him. Yes, our woods sure do look the same. Take care and thanks for watching my friend.

[@Reallybigmonkey1]

Do you mean the rack thats on top of the bowl or the little stand for the cutting board?

[@davidkinney7814]

Loved it. Good vid and great looking RED BEANS , RICE , and ALLIGATOR. Keep the camera rolling brother. Best wishes from N. E. Texas.

[@Reallybigmonkey1]

Thanks David, I'm glad you liked it that much. Man the food tasted great! . Thanks for watching and best wishes to you too from Georgia!

[@danilshimanskiy3165]

Love your channel and your sence of humor lol. Keep them videos comin!

[@Reallybigmonkey1]

Danil Shimanskiy Thanks Danil, I'm glad you like it, more videos in the works!

[@Reallybigmonkey1]

There was alot of food there. I took some home and ate it at work for a few days,lol. That is a good idea on the drop of water. Kinda like a suction action to hold it in place. I usually carry my stuff home to wash but on overnighters I use use creek water and a scotch brite or brillo pad and no liquid soap, just a pad.

[@Reallybigmonkey1]

I'm glad you liked it. I always love it when my videos make folks hungry. LOL. Thanks for watching my friend.

[@Reallybigmonkey1]

Thanks! I'm glad you liked it. The food tasted great! Thanks for watching my friend.

[@argmooner6524]

That axe did a very good job !!!! excellent work brother . !!!

[@Reallybigmonkey1]

Thanks you my friend! That was one super sharp hatchet too!

[@devindevore5857]

Wow! After watching that axe on an onion... I did think it was going to be tomatoe squish! That cut as good as our knives! Nice sharpening job and technique!

[@Reallybigmonkey1]

Devin Devore Thanks Devin. Im sure theres a lot of cheap axes out there nowadays made out of cheap steel but this one is quite old. From the late 70s or early 80s. It sharpens up almost like a knife edge! I love it.

[@Reallybigmonkey1]

Well pretty much any bungee will work but the kinds with hooks sometimes snap off. Thats why I like the Carabineer style made by Secure Tite. I highly recommend them. Thanks for watching my friend.

[@Reallybigmonkey1]

Thanks! Im glad you like the video. I'd say if youre gonna use the metal as a pan to lay food directly on, make sure it is stainless steel. Never use plain steel. It will rust. Good luck with it. Thanks for watching my friend.

[@briargoatkilla]

I definitely DIG the new cooking bowl. What I really liked though was the welding rod pot stand! What a great idea. Gonna have to see about getting me a set of those made somewhere. Good lookin' plate of food too! Thanks for another great video. You da man, Dave.

[@brennaceallaigh5028]

You are amazingly organized. I could watch this all day. :)

[@Reallybigmonkey1]

***** Thank you Brenna!

[@brennaceallaigh5028]

You're welcome. Did you save me some gator? ;)

[@Reallybigmonkey1]

***** LOL, I ate every bit.

[@juanmshaw5617]

Subscribed dude! I'm subbed to countless bushcraft channels, but your skills making little awesome gadgets (which I would definately buy), building shelters out of pretty much anything and charisma is a win. The outdoors you use as survival bushcraft fields reminds me of the Rio de la Plata Delta here in Buenos Aires, Argentina; my bushcraft grounds. Long live the south dude! Keep Rocking! \m/

[@Reallybigmonkey1]

+Juan M Shaw Thanks you Juan! Im happy you like all I do brother. I try my best to show different things and show that you can make better gear than what you buy now days. Take care and see ya in the next one!

[@Reallybigmonkey1]

Thanks! I'm glad you liked it. Kinda hard to describe the gator meat but one thing is for sure, its fantastic! Thanks for watching my friend.

[@Doomsdaygirl8186]

I saw those bungy cords today in a store I went to I will have to pick some up. Great video I love when you are out in the woods cooking. Keep up the good work that food looked delicious.

[@Ralphieisthegreatest]

I've not seen this one!! You were so young!!! :) You've really evolved in your film making since this but I love this one good as the new ones! Thanks for the education....again!

[@Reallybigmonkey1]

Thanks Ralph! Oh yes, I have evolved big time in how I make videos. I guess the more you do stuff like this the more you learn from mistakes!

[@Reallybigmonkey1]

Now that is cool. Most of them old axe heads are very good quality alloyed steel from what Ive seen. Not only will alot of these cheap modern axes not hold an edge but you cant get the honing burr off them either.

[@MrMkirk23]

What a cool setup buddy! Loving all your videos.

[@Reallybigmonkey1]

Michael Kirk Thanks Michael ! Im glad you liked it. I love using this bowl set up.

[@Reallybigmonkey1]

Thanks man! If you ever get a chance for alligator, you should try it. Farm raised or wild, its awesome with the red bean and rice.

[@heathenhymnal]

You certainly have you're own way of doing things, some I may not prefer myself, but you have such a great attitude and seem to have a lot of fun doing it and its fun to watch and I might even learn some new things. Keep up the great vids!

[@Reallybigmonkey1]

heathenhymnal Im glad you like the vids. Yep, I believe I have a lot of ways others wouldnt use, lol. Theres always a few tips here and there that are sane. Thanks for watching my friend.

[@howardjohnson2138]

Because of this post, I made a BIG POT of Red Beans and Rice, but I hadta use black beans. Good stuff. Thanks

[@Reallybigmonkey1]

Sounds great to me!

[@Reallybigmonkey1]

Thanks! It is a nice setup with the bungees allowing it to be very easily set up and adjusted to the flame height. Okra would have been a very nice addition, especially some fresh outta the garden. My favorite sauce has always been Franks red hot followed by Trappeys bull sauce. The food was fantastic. Take care and thanks for watching my friend.

[@Reallybigmonkey1]

Thanks! I'm glad you like the videos and what I do so much. I try to show unseen stuff and make it fun to watch. I cant always do that tho, LOL. Thanks for the sub and Thanks for watching my friend.

[@cesalt2408]

Your cooking system is outstanding!

[@Reallybigmonkey1]

Thanks!

[@Reallybigmonkey1]

@mrmattvan That is a very good meal for the trail. As you noticed, its a realistic meal too. I only had 3 small packs and two canteens. Thats not a bad deal to feed 3 or 4 people. that trick with the old wool sweater works on all kinds of cold or frozen meat. Thanks for watching my friend.

[@Reallybigmonkey1]

Thanks! I'm glad you liked it. I also have a four part series on different types of bowl cooking methods if you have time to watch them. Part one is the same method as this one so you could skip it. Man do I ever love beans! They are quite easy to carry and cook. Thanks for watching my friend.

[@Reallybigmonkey1]

Thats a good idea. I gotta try that. funny thing, it doesnt matter if its in the sun or if Im under the forest canopy in the shade. That stupid glare is always there. I guess its just the nature of an LCD screen. Thanks for the tip and thanks for watching my friend.

[@Reallybigmonkey1]

Thanks! I'm glad you liked it, I pretty much laugh at everything too, LOL. Thanks for watching my friend.

[@JohnnyMoonShooter]

Hi , David ,you crack me up ,, I loved the video and I'm sure the food was good I've watched most of the tagged friends of yours and i must admit you guys have great ideas ,and it seems like fun thanks for posting i enjoyed it and had a laugh or two , God bless ,,, paulie

[@Reallybigmonkey1]

It was delicious! The pot stand really works well. When you just throw a pan in the fire it sometimes smothers the coals. Having a stand lets a little air under the pan to let the coals keep going. I never realized how awesome the old plumbs were until I got out my Granddads axe and actually started using it. Very nice axe indeed. Thanks for the comments and thanks for watching my friend.

[@Reallybigmonkey1]

Thanks! If you liked the originality part of it youre gonna love the rest of the videos. Just surf through my video lists and look at all the shelter and cook set ups, they are all very different than whats normally out there. I'm glad you liked it. Thanks for the sub and Thanks for watching my friend.

[@pedalpusher101]

I knew when your eyebrows went up it was good. Great job and video, good ideas. Thanks Dave.

[@Reallybigmonkey1]

Thanks! I'm glad you liked it. Thanks for watching my friend.

[@Reallybigmonkey1]

I have never tried or heard of Garlic Sausage. I'll have to look for that and try it. It sounds like it would have a lot of flavor. Thanks for watching my friend.

[@eddiegorden]

Dave, your cooking has done it again. I am hungry now. I love the pot stand idea.

[@Reallybigmonkey1]

LOL, That always means the video did its job! Take care and Thanks for watching Eddie

[@Reallybigmonkey1]

Thanks bro, yep, this set up is limited to having trees. I do have three other bowl set ups that dont require large trees. If you have time, check out "Bowl cooking" parts 2 3 and 4. Part 1 is the same set up I use here. Thanks for watching my friend.

[@Reallybigmonkey1]

@lita9281 I glad you liked it. I know I really, really liked the eatin part, LOL. Thanks for watching my friend.

[@joesjourney9986]

Macgyver?? Please. You are some kind of bushcraft mad scientist! Love it!

[@Reallybigmonkey1]

Thanks Joe!

[@Reallybigmonkey1]

@Keister12 I wish I could come up with something for the camera. I have no problems with cook sets, shelters or machetes but camera glare? I cant seem to beat it. My cook set did work well tho. Thanks for watching my friend.

[@jessefugate8154]

Love ur videos sir! I watch u all through the nights a lot, I was in a car accident and I don’t sleep too good so thank u for entertaining us here in KZbin land! Ur skills are awesome and ur personality is the best! Tell nick I said hello here from Breathitt county Kentucky. I live 30 minutes north of Hazard Ky., a lot of folks have heard of hazard but not Breathitt lol

[@Reallybigmonkey1]

Thanks Jesse and we are glad you're enjoying the vids! I've absolutely heard of Hazard county. Get all healed up and thanks for watching

[@jessefugate8154]

Reallybigmonkey1 thank u very much!! Keep on keeping on with the videos!! My high light of the evening! It’s crazy that people get hooked on watching others live teach and educate others on survival, camping, bushcraft but I’m def hooked lol!! Have a great night!

[@Reallybigmonkey1]

You have a good night too Jesse!

[@Reallybigmonkey1]

Thanks! I try to make them fun and watchable, lol. The gloves are called Nomex Flight gloves. They are worn by military flight crews. I started wearing them to tend to fires and coking and handling hot stuff since they are nomex. It turns out they are so comfortable and easy to work in that I just wear them all the time. They also help keep away bugs, thorns and poison ivy. Take care and thanks for watching my friend.

[@monicajones8450]

I am laughing my head off watching you cut up that onion with an ax. Your too funny. Bravo for rising to the challenge

[@Reallybigmonkey1]

+Monica Jones Hee Hee, Im glad you liked it. Anything used in the food prep was to be done with an axe only. Dang this was a fun tag. Thanks for watching

[@Reallybigmonkey1]

Thanks! I'm glad you liked it. It usually takes around 30 minutes to cook a meal with these ingredients. Thanks for watching my friend.

[@Reallybigmonkey1]

Oh believe me, it would be a trip to remember! Ive always had a great time camping. Thanks for watching my friend.

[@Reallybigmonkey1]

@BushNstuff Thats what I like to hear! I love being in the woods and it puts a smile on my face. Its really great when I hear how much others like my vids. Have a good weekend and thanks for watching my friend.

[@Reallybigmonkey1]

Yep, soaking the rice does help. I never thought about adding salt. I'll try that next time. Ive seen the gator jerky but didnt try it. I'll have to next time. EMU? How cool! Thanks for watching my friend.

[@harrird]

I've watched most of your videos David. You are an entertaining fellow. I'm actually watching this one with my 81 year old grandmother. She says - "I want to know how he's going to clean all that up!" Ha! Looks delicious man. I'm a big fan.

[@shinkter]

I love your cooking videos. Would love to see more campfire recipes. Keep up the good work.

[@Reallybigmonkey1]

+Gerret Swearingen Thanks Brother! I actually love filming the cooking ones the best, I get fed at the end. LOL. More to come, Thanks for watching Gerret!

[@Reallybigmonkey1]

@GeezerDust Ha Ha, you half knew what I'd say! OK, its a different flavor but to me, I'd have to say half chicken half sausage flavor. thats farm raised. I've never had wild killed. I love how I can adjust this system up or down depending on the fire and whats even cooler is after I cook the food, I can raise it up alot higher to just keep the food warm. Im gald you liked it , thanks for watching my friend.

[@patriciavyce1993]

That's keeping it real ! What an adventure.That was a wake up ! Man are you tuff ! Smart too ! I really like that about you an your vid's.Keepin it real. Thanks,."Happy new year ! " LOL,too !"

[@Reallybigmonkey1]

Thanks Patrica, I'm glad you liked it. I try and keep it as real as it gets. Thanks for watching and Happy New year to you too!

[@Reallybigmonkey1]

Thanks man, I have another video coming up soon( if I ever get it edited) It shows four different ways of using that bowl for cooking. The bungee cord thing is a fun and simple way of cooking. The Gator meat is fantastic. It was farm raised in Camila Georgia. Thanks for watching my friend.

[@faithrada]

Thanks for all your creative HOW TO videos. There is nothing like actually SEEING Bushcraft being done. I feel like I'm right there with you. I am now inspired to do my own Hands On, open fire cooking. I'll just be passing on the alligator though.. LOL ... more for you. PS I have a nice little hatchet I use for kindling.. It's always nice to have that to depend on IF all our other FANCY 'mechanical' gadgets ever fail.

[@Reallybigmonkey1]

You are very welcome and I'm glad you liked it. For me, its always gonna be less talk and more doing on the vids. I just cant sit still. LOL. Cook over a fire anytime you can and be safe with the ole hatchet. Thanks for watching

[@Reallybigmonkey1]

LOL, I sometimes shelter up like its the Holiday inn tho. Never thought about catering but the Cubs Scouts used to love my cooking!

[@Reallybigmonkey1]

Always good to hear that! I'm glad you liked it. Thanks for watching my friend.

[@Reallybigmonkey1]

@eltenda Yes it was, Ive made that dish with chicken before but, nothing compares to alligator. Yum, Yum. Thanks for watching my friend.

[@Reallybigmonkey1]

@VeracityNation Im glad you liked it, I was looking forward to this one, I knew the food would be good! Thanks for watching my friend.

[@Reallybigmonkey1]

Im glad you liked it. Im not too sure where all its sold but this was farm raised in Camilla Georgia. Man was it ever delicious! I'd have to say its like half sausage half chicken. Thats the only way I can think of to describe it. Take care and thanks for watching my friend.

[@Reallybigmonkey1]

Im glad you liked it. Thanks for watching my friend.

[@Reallybigmonkey1]

@69Phuket Yes, thicker chop board and logs would have been better but, I wanted to try that little stand thing to see how it worked as a table. Its actually part of an alcohol stove stand I was making. The roll up sutting board weighs nothing. The swinging wok thing is fantastic because I can now take the bowl in and out and I can adjust the height over the flames. I glad you find this interesting, Take care and thanks for watching my friend.

[@Reallybigmonkey1]

@masterwelder65 I got them at lowes. I got sick of ruining bungee cords on trees so, I made some cloth protective sleeves out of camo fabric. After the I closed the sleeves up on a sewing macine, I slid them over the bungees then hot glued them to the carabiners. They dont get tore up as bad now. I only use the good bungees with carabiners, never the plain ole hook kind. I had them come undone too often and hit me in the eyes or face. Thanks for watching man.

[@Reallybigmonkey1]

Thanks! I'm glad you liked it. Good to hear you want to make videos and even better that you stated how it was hard to find time to make em. You see what I mean now when I have trouble finding time to film. Man life really is busy at times! I love doing real world stuff. I try my best to not go over board but at times, I do on shelters. LOL. Thanks for watching my friend.

[@Reallybigmonkey1]

@megal0w Wow, all I have to say is Thank you. Thats a huge compliment to me. Thanks for liking my videos and thank you for watching my friend.

[@Escapethehawthorne]

i actually like the long videos, we get to see all the details and little things that shows tons of cool little tricks and tips keep it up!

[@Reallybigmonkey1]

LOL, nope, not yet. I used to lose a lot of them but once I moved up to the Carabiner ones with the covers I kept a better eye on them. I always carry either 4 or 8 so that makes it easier to keep up with. Thanks for watching my friend.

[@Reallybigmonkey1]

@Waldhandwerk That bowl set up worked out way better than I had ever dreamed of. The food was great! Take care Sepp and thanks for watching my friend.

[@Reallybigmonkey1]

@nativerobin Im glad folks find me interesting because I have tried to shorten my videos but just cant seem to do it, Ha ha. this recipe works pretty good with any fried game meat. Im just too lazy to do any trapping. The new cook system does work really well. Have a good weekend and thanks for watching Robin.

[@Reallybigmonkey1]

@SpartanJohns I never thought about it but, no matter what I do, its always around 38 to 42 minutes. Perfect for commericals and TV. I would love a TV show. I also have a few more attachments and cooking options for using my bowl. I'll show them sometime. Sorry I made you hungry, Ha Ha.Thanks for watching my friend.

[@Reallybigmonkey1]

Thanks! I'm glad you like them. For some odd reason Nick doesnt want to be on camera. Thanks for watching my friend.

[@Reallybigmonkey1]

If you think that cook set up is cool, you should check out my 4 part series on "Bowl Cooking" They all use a bowl in a different set up but part one is set up like this one. I rarely carry an axe, I usually use a machete but Ive always choked up on an axe for fine cutting. It seems to do a good job. Man, that gator was fantastic! Thanks for watching my friend.

[@Reallybigmonkey1]

Now thats a good idea, I never thought about adding Crawfish. I need to remember that for next go round. I'm glad you liked it, Thanks for watching my friend.

[@Reallybigmonkey1]

Well theres not much to a key hole fire other than its shaped like a key hole. The large part is for having a fire and the smaller part is for like dragging and piling up coals for cooking. Thanks for watching my friend.

[@Reallybigmonkey1]

LOL, thanks Bro! Man I do love cooking in the outdoors. Thanks for watching my friend.

[@Reallybigmonkey1]

@AussiePreppers I guess I havent come to think of it. I have a basement full of junk that Ive made or bought. I like to do things different all the time because it keeps things interesting. Thanks for watching my friend.

[@Reallybigmonkey1]

Thanks! I figured theres no reason to starve or eat granola bars all day in the field,lol. All the gadgets and ideas really do help out. Thanks for the comments and thanks for watching my friend.

[@Reallybigmonkey1]

Ha Ha, brother, I would never say shut up to new ideas. I do have to ask tho, is this grill idea for cooking meat or is it for using as kind of like a side table to sit stuff on? Thanks for watching my friend.
