great job on everything my friend. Rice can be used the same way that the silica gel is used. It probably requires a greater volume of rice than the silica gel. To re-dry the rice you can put in a dehydrator, oven etc. I have never used rice this way but I do know that rice absorbs moisture very well. I learned that through the use of what my family calls "hot socks". If you are unfamiliar with this item you can do a web search for "rice sock warmer". They are wonderful items to use at home when one is chilly or to use on a sore muscle as a heating pad. Anyway when you heat these "hot socks" in the microwave to use them, there will be quite a bit of moisture left on the cooking surface when you pick up the sock. Also after using the sock and reheating it several times, it requires more and more time to heat the sock back up due to being dryer now. After the sock has sat unused for some time (days, weeks??) it will again microwave easily at the original shorter time due to absorbing moisture out of the air. Just thought you might enjoy learning how to use a commonly found item for your drying material for the charred items. That was a great idea you had.

+Far North Bushcraft And Survival Hi Lonnie, so glad you like it! Interesting with the rice. I have had rice in my salt to prevent the salt to stick together. I do have two "seed" pillows that I heat up in the micro oven. - Actually every night as its lovely to heat up my cold feet when I go to bed. And the other where ever I am cold. Its so relaxing. Once in a while I need to add moisture to the pillows, and that means that I have a microvawe-safe cup with little water in together with the pillow/pillows while heating it up. That way the steam from the boiled water will add enough moisture to the pillow and its good to go a while again. Thank you for your tip with the rice, and that you took your time to watch and to comment. Take care out there my friend. /Ulrica

Fantastic! Loved how you introduced and included your wonderfully carved bear! You are always so organized! I made a base out of aluminum to set my Kelly Kettle on so I would not have to worry about burning picnic tables. I used a piece 8 inches wide x 12 inches long and 1/8 inch thick, then bent the ends down 1-1/4 inches to provide an air-gap. It's light and works great. Wonderful location and lunch! So glad to see you are doing well after your surgery. Take care. Ossie

[@Gullrica]

+Ossie Weinert Hi Ossie. So glad you liked how I tried to get the bear into the video. That aluminium base for the Kelly Kettle is an awesome idea. Now I was lucky to find that thick wooden piece, but it started to smoke real bad after a while so something else would be nice for next time. Thanks for the tip! I appreciate that you took your time to watch and to comment. Take care, you too, my friend. /Ulrica

[@Reallybigmonkey1]

Beautiful carved bear and beautiful spot you hiked to. I LOVE the bannock bowl! That is one cool idea I could sink my teeth into. LOL. Thank you for trying that and showing us. Take care now.

[@Gullrica]

+Reallybigmonkey1 Hello my good friend. So nice to see you around! I am glad you liked my little carved bear. I hope you can test that bannock bowl one day. I might had beginners luck, but it turned out really good, after making that kind of oven in the end. I truly appreciate that you took your time to watch and to comment. You take care, too. /Ulrica

I enjoy the show Time Team and watch it often on KZbin. You are amazing to try this method of cooking the bread on a heated rock, just like they did in an ancient village. I will try it on one of my trips this Spring. Hardly any dishes to clean up and you can eat the bowl!

[@steinwaygoat]

You should ALWAYS have that little bear now in all your viddies, just quietly with you and watching you!

[@BuckMckawtheotherone]

It's a great little carving. When I first saw it I thought you'd made a bannock bear because the colours are so similar.

It's great to see you out and about. Thanks for the post. Paul

[@steinwaygoat]

This was so CUTE the way you started this!!! I was just thoroughly enchanted! OH!!! And the way you have the coloring on that little bear is so classy and fantastic. I think you think you can do those little bears because you watched the tutorial-----but no! You can do that because you are innately talented....! OH! And such great humor throughout. I think I love your vids because you are so very self-effacing and humble---but your humor is just so honest and great---like pulling out the flask, "JUST water...." I loved that. ....Finally, what great talent, too, in your woods skills--the fire, the ease with the cooking. AND AND AND, nearly forgot! What fantastic WALKING!! OH it is so incredibly grand to see you walking with such confidence and comfort. Oh I hope you feel as good as you look. that is so grand. (And good lord, you're sure testing it all by carryng your typically heavy pack you always carry! Tough old broad, as they say here in the USA!) Thanks so very much for making another goodie. It's fun to watch these so late, too--cause I get to read everyone else's comments! Jules

[@Gullrica]

+steinwaygoat Ahhh. Hello Jules, its so good to see you around. Makes me happy and smiling that you say you like the video, the bear and just everything. I was in a good mood on this little hike, and yes, I feel as good as my walking look good, thank you. I like carving in wood, its relaxing and mediative. Its good when the result get okay too, Ha ha. And yes, maybe I take that bear with me on more hikes. He needs a pal, tho. I hope I can find some more good wood for carving when its getting warmer. I appreciate that you took your time to watch and to leave such a lovely comment. Be safe out there my good friend. /Ulrica

It's always a nice surprise to see a new Gullrica video up. You've got to have the most contagious smile in all of KZbin. That bear carving was so good and it was fun how you kept him in the shots as you showed us your beautiful scenery. The bannock bowl was a real success and cooked perfectly. Bread bowls like that are really popular here, but we are lazy and use store bought ones. We start with a good sized bread bowl and then fill it up with tomato soup. As you eat the soup and munch on the top parts of the bowl, it also is soaking into the rest of the bowl. By the end, you have this amazing tomato soaked bread. It'll warm up any cold day. Thanks for sharing your time out with us. Has your surgery helped as much as you hoped it would? -Linda

[@Gullrica]

+CrankyPants Hi Linda. So glad you like the video. For me that bread bowl was first. I was not familiar with it. Its cool to know you are familiar with it. That breadbowl with tomato soup sounds great. I didnt know what to expect from the surgery, but I am stronger and can move the leg more then before surgery, but the best part is that the pain is all gone. I guess it will be even better when the muscles and all that have adapted to the new situation. Thank you for taking your time to watch and to comment. take care my friend. /Ulrica

Daww, that little bear is just soo cute. Well done!! I did worry about it somewhat, sitting so close to the fire. The moisture bags are a very good idea. We always save them, but never really do much with 'm. The bread bowl is definitely a great idea, mouthwatering! Looking at your fingers, that's nothing compared to me; I always struggle with the stickiness of the dough - one day, I won't add too much water and get it right :-)) Good to see you doing trips again, keep going! Cheers! -Bas

[@Gullrica]

+Out and About West Hi there Bas, so glad you liked the bear. Many times it appear closer on the video then it is in real.. so I think the bear wasn´t really in any danger. He was just little cold and wanted to warm up his feet for a while. :) I bet you will be better in not getting sticky fingers then me one day!

[@MrKelso159]

That looked so good to eat. I brought everything to make a pizza while I was hiking in our state park . I found a flat rock about 8 inches round and put it in the fire and cooked it on the rock. I used some aluminum foil to cover it like a little oven and oh my it was so good. Why does everything taste better when cooked in the woods. Great job and really enjoyed your video. Thanks.

[@Gullrica]

Hi! Mmm, that sounded delichious. I might have to test that one day! :) I agree that it taste better in the outdoors. Maybe the fresh air or from that effort you put down? I am so glad you like my video! Thank you for taking your time to watch an dto comment. Take care my friend. /Ulrica

+countrygril3575 Hi! The outdoors make me feel good. Thank you for taking your time to watch and to comment. Take care my friend. /Ulrica

[@susan319]

love the bear, great job. I think you should name it and take it on all your trips so you will never be alone, and we can see what you two are up to.

[@Gullrica]

Hi Susan, yes, that´s a good idea. I will see what I can do. :) Hard to come up with a name. Thank you for watching and commenting. Take care my friend. /Ulrica

[@cantabhiker3285]

hi Ulrica nice to see another video from you. your bear almost got away. the bannock bowl is a great idea. I'll have to try it out. looking at the snow around I think we have more here in Virginia, believe it or not. got 2ft in a single day, but it was totally gone in a week. right now, as I watch your video, it is snowing here. not typical. so I'll be out hiking in snow! take care.

[@Gullrica]

+Cantab Hiker Hi! I think the bear still haven´t forgive me for forgotten him.... He sitting in a corner here and glow on me... :) Thank you for your kind words on the bowl it turned out well and tasted even better :) Hope you had a nice hike in the snow! I was glad to get home and warm up my feet. Thank you for taking your time to watch and to comment. Take care, you too, my friend. /Ulrica

[@1969rbmustangboss]

What a wonderful video, my friend! I love your beautifully carved bear! You did a fantastic job on him. I love the details. My daddy would have been very impressed with your carving talent. As I have mentioned before, he was also a woodcarver. I especially loved how you included the in the video. Very creative. The Kelley Kettle is so versatile! I must look into getting one for myself.

[@1969rbmustangboss]

BTW, is your Kelley Kettle set the small, medium, or large size?

[@Gullrica]

Hi there my good friend. Its a medium ( scout I think its called) size.

[@michaelplesch]

Gullrica, l aways love your videos and appreciate the effort you put into filming them.

[@Gullrica]

+Michael Plesch Hi Michael, good to see you around. Makes me happy that you like my videos! Thank you for taking your time to watch and to comment. Take care my friend. /Ulrica

[@johnwisniewski5065]

Very nice curving... as always another great video! U inspired me... I went to IKEA yesterday...yes Valentine's Day and found the makings of a hobo stove and children's cook set made of stainless steel that looks like it will be great for backpacking.

[@Gullrica]

+John Wisniewski Hi John, makes me glad that you liked the video. It is great you went and bought an IKEA hobo stove. Made me happy I could inspire you! They are awesome stoves. With some stainless steel tent stakes you have the possibility to adjust the hight of the pot too, unless you plan to turn the stove up side down. I think I have an old video on my IKEA hobo stove. It could be in my "One night wild camp" video. If you want to check it out. Thank you for taking your time to watch and to comment. Take care my friend. /Ulrica

[@johnwisniewski5065]

+Gullrica You are correct "one night wild camp" was the video that brought The hobo stove to mind.

[@Gullrica]

John Wisniewski Ahh. Thats great. Thanks! :) And hope your new stove will serve you well my friend.

[@MrBogeyone]

Nice to see you out and about! Love the bannock idea! I hope to be able to post some fishing videos in the ear future. The past few months flooded the area I had scouted for this year so I'll be scouting it again and hope my grandson's girlfriend is willing to help out with the filming. Wish me luck because I don't really have a personality on camera. LOLI also have a few knives I am working on for maybe a future showing on here. Being old sucks but it beats the alternatives I think.Thanks for your insights to things. I am a fan and am not going anywhere. Been waiting for you to get back 100% and I believe you're there.

[@Gullrica]

+MrBogeyone Hi! Yes, I am back at work and doing well so I guess I am more or less full recovered by now. I am glad you liked the bannock idea! Sounds nice with fishing videos. Maybe you can throw in some cooking there as well? Its very good to have help filming in the beginning. Its also good to have a plan in the head on what and how you want to film. See the camera as your friend, and talk to it like it was a person you know well that standing / sitting there. Study how other makes the video. Notice what you like and dont like, copy the way you like and avoid things you dont like to see in others videos. :) Oh well. Sorry, here I give advice you didnt ask for. Good luck with filming! Thank you for taking your time to watch and to comment. Take care my friend. /Ulrica

[@SmellNRoses]

Awesome trip outdoors. That waterfall was really cool. Nice work carving the bear, looked good. Excellent idea putting the dissectant in the tin with your char cloth. I have the same problem, if I dont use the cloth pretty quickly it goes bad. That kettle is awesome, but it looks huge! LOL! That bannock bowl with filling looked pretty tasty. I'm sure your bear friend was glad you returned!

[@Gullrica]

+Smell N Roses Hi! Its so much more fun to walk on a trail now when it dowsn´t hurt, you cant imagine :) So glad you liked the video and the other things! Good to know you also have the same problems with the charred cloth. The bear probably was happy se me returning, but he still dont talk to me..... ;) Thank you for taking your time to watch and to comment. Take care out there my friend. /Ulrica

Love the bear you carved. I forgot how beautiful snow in the winter can be. Lol it doesn't snow in the part of the USA where I live.

[@Gullrica]

+nancy briggs Hi Nancy, so glad you like my little bear! If you dont have snow, I am happy I at least could bring you some moving pictures of it. :) There are days I wish we didnt have snow in winter.... But it do makes it look more beautiful. Thank you for taking your time to watch and to comment. Take care my friend. /Ulrica

[@john-waxerone6972]

Yep...you made me hungry once again! Very pretty spot too. I have to say, as a wood Carver of pipes and canes, your bear was assume! They are one of the hardest subjects to make come alive and you have succeeded! Very cool! Where I live here in Wisconsin we have used what we call bread bowls to put our dips and spreads in at party's, but we carved out the bowl from bread rolls that were ready made. Your bannock formed around a rock opens up unlimited possibilities for my bushcraft cooking. I was thinking of doing a version of yours using a cornbread bannock and filling it with bacon, eggs, veggies, and a drizzle of maple syrup!?! Yum! One more thing..I actually have been using those little dryer packets to put in my grass bundle bags, but to put them in my char clothe box is right on the money! I have been having problems with my char clothe getting unworkable after sitting in various cans and bags. Especially when we put in the effort and time to prep it! Thanks Again! John

[@Gullrica]

+john- waxerone Hi John, Makes me so glad that you say I did a good job on that bear. Thank you! Happy I could inspire you for outdoor bushcraft cooking. MMm bacon and eggs are never wrong! :) I also notised that Charred cloth get unworkable after a while lying in the box. I hope this Silica thing can help keeping them in better shape longer. Thank you for taking your time to watch and to comment. Take care my friend. /Ulrica

[@john-waxerone6972]

Hey, Gullica my friend...one of my bushcrafter friends who is quite old, read our messages and e- mailed me. Didn't even know he was still with us! Yet, thanks to you we have united! He is almost 96 years old and had to comment on char clothe. Pretty cool! He said, and I have to share his knowledge! He charred his clothe in a tin box...then he would separate the clothe and let hang in the air...then, he would shave birch bark and cedar bark into a fine dust. He would then mix the dust and then carefully coat the char clothe...then, he would place the coated char clothe between dried birch bark and tie it tight with sinew. Place it in a leather pouch with some dried cattail fluff and charcoal dust. He said, he could be in the middle of a snow storm, rain storm, etc....it would stay dry and light in at least three strikes of what ever ignition source you had! I would not have even came close to thinking of that!!! Yet, I always listen to the few old timers we have left. Thanks to you Gullica, I have a little time left now, with an ancient bushcrafter that really loved the life! Well, anyways, I thought I would pass that on...as I will try that technique myself. I hope he has more to share!!!! And if he does....so will I!!!!!!

[@Gullrica]

john- waxerone Wow, that´s amazing John, I am so glad you two got contact with each other again! And that knowledge with charred cloth is amazing too. It seems like more then I have trouble keeping the charred cloth "fresh" for a longer time. That knowledge would be passed on. Would you two mind if I one day made a go on this and made a video on it? Thank you so much for sharing!!!

[@windhamcabin]

You maybe have a few tips for me on the way... ?? :) I just started with carving but its fun and addictive. So glad you liked my video! Thank you for taking your time to watch and to comment.

[@Gullrica]

+Shelley Sykes Hi Shelley, so glad you like my videos! You can always start at home by making bannocks in a pan withough grease or butter. Then you get a feeling of how it taste. According to the bear, maybe you can carve one? I used a small carving knife for this one, and I was ondoors in my livingroom Ha ha. No cold fingers. Its a good tutorial that Doug have done.

[@cabotbluegill]

very nice way to cook your bannock I am going to start to collect some stones to do that with my wood stove my wife is not a woods person but loved the idea for thick soups. Just an interest story in the upper part of the state there is a person who paints stones and has them placed for a long distance in the area they live. They paint them like little bears and small birds and such very attractive . Very nice outing

[@Gullrica]

+cabotbluegill Hi! Makes me happy that you liked my little outing and that I could inspire you to think of testing this stone baked bannock. Sound like a very cute idea with those painted stones. It would make me happy to see them along a hiking path. Thank you for taking your time to watch and to comment. take care my friend. /Ulrica

It's so good to see you again and hope to see you once more soon Clark and Virginia P.S. The weather looks so-o-o cold!

[@Gullrica]

+Virginia Bradley Hi there Clark and Virginia! Good to see you around. So glad you liked my little bear. The kelly Kettle is a scout model and boils about 1 L of water. Please try that bannock bread. It turned out good. But I might have beginners luck with that one. Ha ha. Yes, I am walking without pain and its actually fun to walk these days. It was around -4C That day, I guess. ( 24,8F) Thank you for taking your time to watch and to comment. take care, both of you, my friends. /Ulrica

[@neanderthaloutdoors9202]

Hello Ullrica and how are you, nice video, lovely spot for a stop, I like your little bear carving, well done for only your second go, them Kelly kettles are very big and they only have one use, boiling water, much better to have a hanging pot which could be multi use and not so large, you watch Time Team with Baldrick from Black Adder haha, good programme, I like your knife also and the food looked good, thanks for taking us along, atb, Paul.

[@Gullrica]

+Neanderthal 62 Hi there Paul, I am doing well, thank you. The new hip was a good idea, its great to be able to walk without pain. Yes, the Kelly Kettle are big but they boil water very fast.

[@daleskidmore1685]

Kuksabrot. Like the recipe for the bread, Ulrica, I'll have to look for the powdered egg and cream over here, and a nice way to cook it too. Butter is always a problem, there seems to be only 2 or 3 days in the summer when it is warm enough to spread, ha, ha. Your bear is lovely, very nicely carved, you are a natural artist, I think. A lovely vid in a lovely place, thank you for taking us along.

[@Gullrica]

+Dale Skidmore Hi Dale, kuksabrot was a good name! Why didnt I come up with that :) When it came to the bannock recipie, I just throw in what I had, I didnt read or followed any recipie online. So you can make do without cream powder if you want. Butter is a challenge, yes. I have heard that in summer time it should be better to use Ghee as it can stand longer periods without cooling much better. But I dont really like the taste. And its more for frying, not to have on a sandwish.. So glad you liked my wooden bear! Thank you for taking your time to watch and to comment. Take care my friend.

[@daleskidmore1685]

Apparently Cream powder is coffee creamer over here, and Mrs Skidmore thinks egg powder is available too. I have a thing about butter ruining a slice of bread every time I try to spread it, so use margarine all the time. As for Kuksabrot, it is yours to use, you inspired me. I willl be using your recipe soon. Take care.

[@Gullrica]

Dale Skidmore Sounds like good plans. Hope you will like the bannock. I think Eggpowder is more "important" then cream powder, I just had it so I threw it in... :) I am glad I could inspire you!

[@daleskidmore1685]

I'm off soon to look for egg powder. Will post something if I get some. Atb.
