V Grill and The Paracord Pocket Seat

[@Edmontonrob]

just found you tonight and subscribed. Really enjoy your vids. Growing up in NFLD i spent practically all my free time in the woods camping out and having "cook ups/boil ups" as we call them there. I can relate with your love of the outdoors. I can't think of a better place to have breakfast than in the bush. you commented that your vids are probably too long, i disagree, it's like a serious...40 minutes to an hour and packed with realism and content i can relate with. Look forward to many more vids from you and catching up on all of your previous vids !

[@Reallybigmonkey1]

+Robert Curtis Thanks Robert! Sounds like you know all about how to enjoy life. Nothing beats time in the woods. Some friends say the videos dont seem long after they get to watching. Thats a good sign I must be doing something right. LOL. Thanks for the sub and thanks for watching Robert!

[@W4GHW]

I can't believe this was 10 years ago!!! I think I have watched all of your videos and usually within a day or two of your putting them up. Thanks for them all!

[@Reallybigmonkey1]

Even some of the older videos have cool ideas! Thanks for taking a look back!

[@outlanderbushcraft3100]

Hello Dave your little grill station is brilliant a very clever gadget , the paracord seat is is handy as well cheers mate atb Martin

[@ansuz444]

These old videos are great to re-run. I currently live in a very wet and swampy area in far Northern California. Your ability to thrive in the swamplands is very inspiring. I'm sure you read this all the time but you're a great guy. Take care man.

[@Reallybigmonkey1]

Oh I never get tired of hearing people like the videos and what all I do! Thanks for the comments and thanks for watching

[@MasterK9Trainer]

I was thinking of using plastic or wood to make your "shelf" to put under a tree in my yard. Some friends recently trimmed off half of the limbs (looked like a giant Christmas tree), so now you can walk underneath. I figured instead of a table, I'd put some chairs and a device like yours to hold a few garden tools or drinks. I didn't want to damage the tree or worry about the lawn mover destroying stuff or things rusting from being on the ground. Your idea seemed like a good idea to make the tree a sort of "hang out" area with natural shade.

[@Reallybigmonkey1]

Sounds good to me! Just because I backpack with this stuff that doesnt mean it aint a good idea for home. I bet that would make a cool place to hang out and have a place to set drinks on.

[@Reallybigmonkey1]

Thanks man! If I may say myself, I believe this is one of my favorite designs yet. It packs down pretty small, is easy to set up and cooks with very little wood. And of course, it has a table. Im glad that you and so many others like the length. I have always thought" Im gonna just make a short one" and guess what? It never happens, LOL. Yep, I guess its just the way I am and cant change. Im glad you never get bored. I always said if I ever get boring, Im retiring from this.

True American ingenuity and charm with good humor...!!

[@Reallybigmonkey1]

[@Reallybigmonkey1]

Thanks! Your words mean a lot to me, Im glad you liked it and the other gear. I hope you have a happy new year too and thanks for watching my friend.

[@acdesignspoweredbyp3771]

Have a question what is gritz if that's how you spell it what is it it looks good and I want to buy some for when I go in the woods

[@Reallybigmonkey1]

survival 101 Grits are dried crushed corn. They stay dry and last for months until you add hot water or boil them in water then they turn into a fine oatmeal looking texture. They have a great flavor but you can add salt, butter or even bacon bits or beef jerky. Get some and try em. www.walmart.com/ip/Jim-Dandy-Enriched-Quick-Grits-32-oz/10294634

[@acdesignspoweredbyp3771]

[@fleabottom]

You need to promote your stuff. Not necessarily for big profit, but dang, this stuff is really cool.

[@Reallybigmonkey1]

fleabottom Thanks man. If I promoted it tho I would have to make and sell it. Im just too lazy. LOL. Thanks for watching

[@1337BSTAR]

+Reallybigmonkey1 you could Pat. the designs for certain sets of equipment then sell the rights to manufacturing to other companies ;)

[@davidwoodward7020]

[@AirstripBum]

That would be cool. I would buy some Big Monkey products. (Fleabottom, ain't nuthin' wrong with big profit. It's how the light bills are paid. ;) )

[@Reallybigmonkey1]

Sounds great! Theres nothing more fun for a family to do other than outdoors fun. Im glad you like the videos. I hope you have a happy new year too and thanks for watching my friend.

[@Reallybigmonkey1]

Thanks! Im glad you liked it, It packs down small, sets up pretty easy and uses very little wood. Its becoming one of my favorites. Thanks for watching my friend.

[@Reallybigmonkey1]

[@Reallybigmonkey1]

[@Reallybigmonkey1]

Im glad you like them. I hope you have a happy new year too and thanks for watching my friend.

[@Reallybigmonkey1]

Sounds cool! Yep, this is a good one to make. It packs away easy, is easy to set up and cooks with very little wood. Its well worth the time to make. Good luck and thanks for watching my friend.

[@Reallybigmonkey1]

Thanks! I'm glad you liked it. I used to make some gear to sell and I may in the future but for now I'm not making any. I'll let everyone know if I'm making any. Thanks for watching my friend.

[@Reallybigmonkey1]

Thank you, that means a lot to me. I hope you and your family have a very happy new year too. Thanks for watching my friend.

[@Reallybigmonkey1]

Absolutely! I think Im really gonna like that grill. It packs away nice, sets up fairly easy and does a good job of cooking. I hope you and your wife have a very happy new year, Thanks for watching my friend.

[@Reallybigmonkey1]

Thanks! I'm glad you like the videos. You have fine English to me, I understood every word. Thanks for watching my friend.

[@Reallybigmonkey1]

I'm glad you liked it. This V Grill design is pretty much one of my favorites of them all. Im right next door in Georgia so since your wife hasnt heard that saying it must be a georgia thing. Take care and Thanks for watching my friend.

[@Reallybigmonkey1]

Thanks brother! Im very happy with how the ole grill and chair performed, Im glad you liked them. Have a happy new year too and thanks for watching my friend.

[@Reallybigmonkey1]

Thanks! Always good to hear that. I try my best to come up with neat stuff that no one else is showing. Thanks for watching my friend.

[@Reallybigmonkey1]

Thanks, your words mean a lot to me. I try to come up with all kinds of new stuff to make. Very good to hear I inspire. Take care and thanks for watching my friend.

[@Reallybigmonkey1]

I'm glad you liked it. This one is by far becoming one of my favorite grills, Thanks for watching my friend.

[@Reallybigmonkey1]

Thanks! I'm glad you liked it that much. It is pretty easy to set up and cook with. Thanks for watching my friend.

[@Reallybigmonkey1]

I'm glad you liked it. I gotta say, that is quickly becoming one of my favorites too. It packs away small, is easy to set up and it cooks with very little wood. What more could ya ask for, lol. Thanks for watching my friend.

[@Reallybigmonkey1]

Cool, Im glad you can learn from each video. I try to share helpful things when I can. Thanks for watching my friend.

[@Reallybigmonkey1]

Thanks! Im glad you liked it. It is turning out to be my favorite grill so far. Greeting back at you from Georgia in the U.S.A. Thanks for watching my friend.

[@Spikestrip55]

I really enjoy your instructive and informative videos because they aren't "preachy" like many others. You're very inventive, have a great time in the outdoors, and it shows! Truck on!

[@Reallybigmonkey1]

Im glad you liked it. I love making gear. You have a happy new year too and thanks for watching my friend.

[@Reallybigmonkey1]

Thanks ! I love how it sat up and how easy it was to use. I bet Im gonna use it more often. I have no idea why no one has ever contacted me. They havent even stolen any ideas yet. Maybe they think they are too weird, LOL. Thanks for watching my friend.

[@Reallybigmonkey1]

Thanks! Im glad you liked it that much. I believe it is one of my favorites for sure. Thanks for watching my friend.

[@Reallybigmonkey1]

Thanks Bro! I can never just settle on one design, I have to be dreaming up new grills to play with all the time, LOL. Take care and Thanks for watching my friend.

[@Reallybigmonkey1]

Thanks! Im glad you liked it. They both turned out pretty darn good. Yes, lots more planned for 2013. Thanks for watching my friend.

[@Reallybigmonkey1]

Im glad you liked them. I had a great time on here in 2012. Lots more planned for 2013. Take care and thanks for watching my friend.

[@Reallybigmonkey1]

Im glad you liked it. You have a happy new year too and thanks for watching my friend.

[@Reallybigmonkey1]

Thanks, It is one heck of a good knife. It was a Christmas present. Its good to hear from you. I hope alls well with ya. Thanks for watching my friend.

[@Reallybigmonkey1]

Thanks Jimmie! I gotta say, this is one easy to pack, easy to set up and easy to cook on grill. I bet Im gonna use it often. That paracord pocket seat is great for anyone to carry and use. Not much at all to making it. Just some rip stop nylon and a sewing machine. Take care and thanks for watching my friend.

[@Reallybigmonkey1]

Sounds cool! The paracord seat is quite easy to make. without welding its gonna be tough to set up a grill but it is very possible to modify and make something that will work. I hope you have a happy new year too and thanks for watching my friend.

[@Reallybigmonkey1]

Cool! I'm glad you liked it. I make a lot of different cooking set ups but this one is one of my favorites. It packs away pretty small, set up easy and cooks with very little wood. The guys that mentored me in outdoors stuff were old and hated cooking,kneeling or sitting on the ground so Ive always tried to get off the ground. That pocket sized chair is awesome because now Im 45 years old and everything I got creaks on me now, Ha Ha! Thanks for watching my friend.

[@Reallybigmonkey1]

Cool! I'm glad you liked it and have learned form me. Pretty much everything I do is either in the forest or in a swamp. Thanks for watching my friend.

[@Reallybigmonkey1]

Cool! That paracord chair is very easy to make and small enough to fit in almost any pocket. Happy new year to you too and thanks for watching my friend.

[@Reallybigmonkey1]

Cool! Im glad you like the videos, thats awesome that you share them. Theres lot of places where theres mud, snow or too much rain on the ground making ideas or variations of these ideas work great for cooking. Thanks for watching my friend.

[@Reallybigmonkey1]

Thanks! I think this one is gonna be one of my favorites for sure. I hope you have a very happy new year too, Thanks for watching my friend.

[@JohnLauritzen]

Simply incredible. Your tree mount kitchen set is very cool. Slapped my granny silly. The more I watch your channel, the more I learn and the more I look forward to your new episodes in 2013. Really enjoy what you do.

[@shauncarl9535]

Never a dull moment watching your videos. And I'm never bored.

[@Reallybigmonkey1]

Great to hear that Shaun!

[@Reallybigmonkey1]

I suppose its easy to envy when you see how much fun I have out there. Even if its not an over nighter I just love day hikes and meals in the bush. Happy new year to you too and thanks for watching my friend.

[@Reallybigmonkey1]

Thanks! Im glad you liked the video and the stove. It honestly shocks me that as many Coleman mess kits as they have sold that they havent noticed it, been sued or have issued any warnings,It just amazes me. I always have a back up plan and a back up to my back up. Ha Ha. Thanks for watching my friend.

[@Reallybigmonkey1]

Cool! Man grits are good anytime of the day. I personally never get sick of them. More videos planned for the future. Thanks for watching my friend.

[@Reallybigmonkey1]

Thanks Sara, It has been a fantastic year here and its been great the whole time I have known you. A lot of times when I go out in the woods with a camera, I feel like all of you folks are with me. Kinda weird but when have I been normal, Ha Ha! Im glad you liked the grill, it did a fantastic job of cooking my Southern Swedish Grits, LOL. I hope you have a fantastic new year too, Thanks for watching my friend.

[@Reallybigmonkey1]

Thanks! Im glad you liked it and found it useful. I hope you and your family have a happy new year too, Thanks for watching my friend.

[@Reallybigmonkey1]

Thans bro, its always good to get out there and film. Thanks for watching my friend.

[@Reallybigmonkey1]

Thanks Ulrica! I was very very happy with how the table and grill turned out. I think im gonna make a carbon fiber wind screen for it. The paracord chair works good but even better with two thick trees, not a big one and puny one, lol. Yes, make you one, youll love it. I loved the wild chips in the grits, now its your turn to try, Ha Ha. That lanyard trick is a very good one for safety. Take care and thanks for watching my friend.

[@Reallybigmonkey1]

Thanks! Im glad you liked it. Yes, I live in Georgia, down south in the U.S.A. Thanks for watching my friend.

[@Reallybigmonkey1]

Thanks! Im glad you liked it. I tried to do a nice job on making it. Alot of what I make is just thrown together, LOL. Thanks for watching my friend.

[@Reallybigmonkey1]

Thats awesome man! Theres several different shapes you can make to tie off to a different number of trees but it all has the same basic materials. Rip stop nylon and paracord. For the weight to strength ratio, they can not be beat. Its cool to have a seat that fits in your pocket. Good luck on your trip and thanks for watching my friend.

[@Reallybigmonkey1]

Thanks! Im glad you liked it. I have added all kinds of stuff to grits before but this jerky type meat was one of the best. It was very salty which made it even better in the grits. Take care and thanks for watching my friend.

[@Reallybigmonkey1]

Im always happy to share the outdoors with ya. This is a super cool grill even if I say so myself. It packs down small, sets up easy and cooks with very little wood. Good to hear from you, hope alls well and Thanks for watching my friend.

[@Reallybigmonkey1]

Im glad you liked it, it turned out great. That small pot is a handy size but it needs the tabs bent bad for liquids. Put water in it and see what it does before you bend it. Thanks for watching my friend.

[@Reallybigmonkey1]

Thanks Ed! Good to see you man, hope alls well. I do love his grill set up. Its only the second time Ive ever used it and it worked great. Take care and thanks for watching my friend.

[@OutdoorSurvivalists]

I've watched many of your different stove videos... but this is the most creative & genius stove thus far!!! You are truly a craftsman!! And your personality & laugh is the kind that makes you smile :-) Thanks for making your videos!!

[@Reallybigmonkey1]

Im glad you liked it. I have always said if I ever get boring, Im retiring from youtube, lol. Thanks for watching my friend.

[@Reallybigmonkey1]

Cool, Im glad you liked the grill. That seat does work fantastic when tied to two heavier trees. It was weird having to use such a small tree but it was all I had. Sew one up, you will love it! Thanks for watching my friend.

[@Reallybigmonkey1]

Cool! Im glad you liked it and I love to hear when others make gear. Thanks for watching my friend.

[@Reallybigmonkey1]

Thanks brother, Im happy you liked it. You have a happy new year too and thanks for watching my friend.

[@Reallybigmonkey1]

Thanks Ossie! I have lots of cool stuff planned for 2013. Take care and thanks for watching my friend.

[@Reallybigmonkey1]

Thanks, Im glad you liked it. Yes, its gonna be fantastic for rainy, muddy , snowy sloppy areas for a nice hot meal. Thanks for watching my friend.

[@Reallybigmonkey1]

Cool! Im glad you like the vids and the ole grill. I can say that as soon as I am sick of it, I'll send it to you. Of course, I may not ever get sick of using it, LOL. Lots more vids and weird stuff in the works. Thanks for watching my friend.

[@Reallybigmonkey1]

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

[@Reallybigmonkey1]

Thanks! I believe this one is my favorite too. For a grill and table to pack down so small, set up so easy, cook with very little wood, then its bound to stay one of my favorites. This would be a really cool design for a bird feeder. It would last years longer than wood. Im not sure whats weird with the chair other than it looks like a mini hammock. It really needed to be tied off to two stiffer trees. Thanks for watching my friend.

[@Reallybigmonkey1]

Fired up? LOL! Good one! Nick and I will hit the woods as soon as we can. Its the perfect time of year. Thanks for watching my friend.

[@Reallybigmonkey1]

Thanks, Im glad you liked them. I was trying to pay attention to the wind but it kept changing directions on me so I just outright needed a wind screen. Im just happy that it got the food cooked, lol. More planned for 2013! Thanks for watching my friend.

[@Reallybigmonkey1]

Thanks Jason! Im very happy with how the grill turned out. More planned for 2013. Thanks for watching my friend.

[@Reallybigmonkey1]

Thanks! Im glad you liked it. The grill worked great. The tree bark didnt even get warm. Im not sure how it looked on video but the fire was pretty far away from the tree. That seat is very very handy to have. Thanks for watching my friend.

[@Reallybigmonkey1]

Thanks Bro! This one I believe is going to get used a lot more than the others. I really really like the size and how simple it is to set up. Thanks for watching my friend.

[@Reallybigmonkey1]

LOL, V-Stove envy, I like that! Very very cool that you got a sewing machine. You'll be able to make all kinds of cool stuff. When you make the tube tent be sure to get a elastic stretchy type material for the bottom half. Heavy canvas or rip stop nylon will work good for the top. More videos planned, I hope you have a very happy new year too and thanks for watching my friend.

[@Reallybigmonkey1]

Im glad you liked it, Happy new year to you too and thanks for watching my friend.

[@Reallybigmonkey1]

Thanks man! Right now I dont have time to set up and make or sell any of my grills but, if I ever did, this would be the design I'd do first. It seems to be the best yet. Thanks for watching my friend.

[@Reallybigmonkey1]

Im glad you liked it. Thats a cool idea of having a backrest. I had a similar one piece idea once that was made out of ripstop nylon and 8 pieces of paracord. It was almost like a recliner but it got ripped. I need to make another one and show it. Good luck with your project and thanks for watching my friend.
