you

as mission eight survival hang out the first native survival autumn rendezvous we wouldn't be cooking a rabbit on a spit

stay tuned

take the wild all right so here's our spit got two Y sticks have it set up nice and low so we're going to get some nice steady heat off the embers get a nice handle on the end of this and my buddy Malcolm is one the building what's up Earl so he hooked it up and he's the one that brought the rabbit nice solid dinner will be in good thing yeah all right so we're gonna use this sapling

mm-hmm this is nice and pliable for cordage all right so now what I'm going to do is take piece of the sapling that's how you square knot underneath both sides okay it's a piece of the sapling square knot hold it in place solid

well there we go let the cooking begin all right so what we got got nice collection of embers right underneath it we have it on the edge of the fire that way we can really control the heat on the one side that's cooking we can continually feed fire over here so we can continue our our fire maintenance and not worry about that influencing directly the meat being right over the fire I don't want to do spits with the meat right over the fire because then you can't have logs too big and all of that like right now this one log right here would almost be touching a rabbit if the rabbit was right above it if you look closely it's already steaming so the meats cooking really nice it's cooking really nice and if you can't keep your hand for two seconds then you know you're really in business that's how you design temperature when you cook five seconds is like a nice simmer two seconds is like putting it above medium so I probably about seven if I was cooking on my stove right now now I'm going to turn it so I can start walking on the other side well a fat dripping off that nice golden-brown incredible look at that collar right there all right look at this beauty oh goodness

you

I don't complete all right beautiful we're gonna do now is to work on this front section a little bit I'm gonna just turn the rabbit this way on something so here we go just hold it right above the fire facing down just for a minute just to coat that section

right

looking beautiful guys nice alright yeah it's very hot go right around that bone as tight as I can

that's gonna be delicious and I'll grab the other side man would you look at that smells ridiculous

but

just a little hot okay here comes the backstrap coming out one long piece look at that beautiful me man I love rabbit tons of me so that's one back strap I'm gonna go to the other side you can see I won right down to the ribs like to do is use my fingers to feel where the bone and the muscle meet you

cut down and slowly separate it take it from the outside here we go there's not a backstrap monster

there's a spine you can see slim pickins left on that something you really want to try to get good at is getting as much as a meat off you can all right so it's three of us you let's scan whoo-hoo-hoo good stuff put that over there spoke this number three okay so now I have a couple back straps here all partitioned up just three of us eating tonight so I'm going to put my seat of spices a couple of these all right time to put some of the rock mustard spice I made some of this grab it back strap hmm

that's awesome oh yeah delish very tender - yeah incredible that's that slow-cooking yeah I think that was the best the best spit rabbit I've ever had I think the key was really putting it off to the side and letting the key come from one side she could really control you don't want the flame to char the meat he asked me exactly so I got one piece left of each some cedar on this one and some garlic mustard on this one my brother chewing the bones huh join the bones the hell there's more meat there for sure there's a lot more I was just the backs dude I stole the sides we can chomp on get that skin I'll fix my skin yeah I do it here there's a bunch of food I've got one of those going to load that skin mmm that side clap mmm-hmm oh yeah you can taste recycle even the texture was like that golden brown

yeah that's up pushing goodness right there

oh yeah

dude thanks so much for bringing a rabbit man my pleasure very good yes let's hope the Coyotes awanee good luck with that hope we don't waste nothing here speaking of I bought Malcolm chomping on the carcass good stuff where's anything here it's all good meat what a really good splash all right so thanks for joining us tonight Metheny survival autumn rendezvous with this rabbit on a spit bid incredibly delicious
