The Scout cook kit changed little by the 60s when I was a Scout. Very nostalgic. In those days many hunters still wore the buffalo plaid wool. The old ways still work well in the titanium ultralight age. Aluminum is still safe unless you eat your entire cook kit. Thanks for a trip down memory lane.

Bacon, eggs and coffee, my kind of breakfast, I am interested in the Hudson bay bread. I just had stewed apples with my flapjacks. Thanks again for another wonderful video, I try to get out as much as I can and often when I cant you sure fill in the gaps. Thanks again !!

Thoroughly enjoyed the video. Brings back memories of when I was in Scouts in the 1960s and 70s. Once I became a patrol leader, then AssIstant SPL, SPL, and JASM I never used a tent, except in the winter. I always had a tarp and slept close by  the fire. I did use a pyramid tent as an Assistant Scout Master and Scout Master during the winter. Seeing the stars and waning  fire is the best way to fall asleep. If I woke up cold I could grab more fuel and put it on the fire without getting out of my down bag and outer wool blanket. We used a key hole fire lay. So fire and coals could be separated for different tasks. We either brought enough water or camped near water. Packs were heavier back then.  I used to build up a rock wall to create a chimney effect for the smoke. Louisiana Hiker uses vertical logs to create the chimney effect which is totally brilliant. Smoke would always drift toward anyone standing by the fire. We used bar soap on the outside of our pots and pans to make it easier to clean, but I eventually let the black soot build up and wiped it but never scrubbed it. I really only needed the inside shiny and clean. A cold water soap soak and scrub with steel wool, and a hot boil or dip finished the task of cleaning. When water was rationed the item was wiped out with leaves or sand. A little soap and water and rinse was followed by turning the inside of the item over the fire to heat up. As far as wildlife, I live near and camp in the mountains of Virginia and West Virginia. I have had one encounter with a mt. Lion, and been charged by bears. And stepped on a few snakes. The mountain lion was definitely the most dangerous. Both the snakes and I were equally surprised. But the biggest problem I had was keeping skunks, coons, and actually a squirrel from trying to checkout what I had. The squirrel managed to run off with some hot chocolate mix. And mice are destructive. It pays to hang your food bag. I finally picked up a Kevlar bag so I don’t have to find a limb to string it up. Coyotes are definitely here and may prove in time to be a real concern. Very glad wild hogs haven’t made it up here. Most things sound loud at night in the woods. which is one reason I like a tarp. I like to see trouble coming or be able to turn over and go back to sleep. I really appreciate what your doing for folks.

Once again the best ways of camping are the old ways.

I always just use dirt or sand. And then wipe it out with a cloth. You don't have to worry about boiling a little bit of water in it before you make your coffee. It can be loaded with microorganisms. It doesn't matter because you are going to boil water for coffee. Boiling water for coffee or soup or whatever else kills and sterilize has not only the water but also the pan. You just want to make sure you clean out all the chunks of food which is where the dirt comes in and then you wipe the dirt residue out with the rag. And to make coffee you're going to want it to boil anyway. Maybe hot chocolate you don't, but your cooking in an aluminum pan, and like I've heard you say in your other video head heats up twice as quickly. The downside is that also cools off twice as quickly that's why they use aluminum as heat conductors. So if you boil it you're not going to have to wait forever for it to cool off enough to drink. If you're by a water source at all regardless of how dirty it is you can dip the bottom part of your pan into the water making sure it doesn't come anywhere near the lid and it will cool off even quicker. I just thought I would throw that out there for you.
Also if you are camping in a tiny tent you can always bring a tiny scrap of tarp at least the width of your sleeping bag and at least a little further than what is hanging out I would go a minimum of a foot maybe two. And place it over the foot of the sleeping bag you can tuck it in or however you want to keep it in place that way when it rains your bag doesn't get wet at all. If you were not doing. Historical type camping I would suggest you treat the bottom part of your sleeping bag with clear Flex Seal which would completely make it waterproof. But in your case you don't even want to wax proof it or oil treat it because it would mess up your entire motif. But a little piece of tarp isn't going to hurt anything.

I love revisiting these wonderful videos, vitalizes the atavism !

And just like that the legendary never previously found Left handed smoke shifter is demonstrated.😂

Wow, that's quite the wonderful breakfast.  Made me hungry, and I've already eaten.  🙂 Good job, thanks for taking us along.

I just this week I started pulling  out the Oatmeal. Measured by eye, a little shot of salt, add the water, bring to a boil, rememnace of days long gone. Today I use, liquid  coffee creamer and a handful of dried blueberries,  they're all  gone gotta get more. Sat down and ate that bowl faster than it took it to write it! A perfect  video, Mr D., for anyone  else watching, p

We got a lot of coyotes here in Indiana to and I have seen two mountain lions right here in Grant County Indiana. And we aren't that far from Lima

Oh, old Hungarian Central European thing for bacon is to skewer it, roast it like sausage. As the grease drips, dab the bacon on a thick slice of bread then return to fire. Repeat until cooked to your taste... Nothing tastes finer in its savagery.

Still a good video. I watched it again. GOD bless. From Glenn CATT in Massachusetts.

I like hot tea in the morning with a little honey. A trick I learned from old time Ojibwe trappers is to my oatmeal in my tea to save time and extra cooking. Try putting a packet of apple cinamon instant oatmeal in your morning mug.

I had  a funny thought, what if another YouTuber was out filming his morning hike and stumbled across a time traveler camping in the woods. I can see that as a catch title.

Great video

AHA!  I found this!  It is a fine continuation of the series.  I might need to check out your cookbook.  I have little taste for solo camping: my imagination about 'things that go bump in the night' is far too active.

Good video. Thanks

May I recommend The Frontiersman's Pocket-Book 1909. Reprinted by the University of Alberta in 2012. It is the grandfather of all Scout books.

Thank you so much for making great content.. I really enjoy the historical facts you add . Keep up the great work..oh by the way hi neighbor from Scioto county Ohio

Great video. Thanks
