Oh

Oh

this is mitch native survival today we do some primitive cooking stay tuned mm-hmm this isn't exactly what we're looking today but nothing on some blueberries

love it mmm first thing you want to do is just build up your fire alright so today I'm going to be making a ember oven it's really simple really easy I'm going to start by digging your trench right near my embers and I'll go back to you let's start to get dark so I apologize if it starts getting a little difficult to see what I'm doing alright so next I'll put my food in there today I chose corn love this stuff I'm going to just rip off the stuff up top real fluffy stuff some catch on fire I'll cut off the end a little bit not too much maybe like right here ok

alright

pretty simple put it in the trash top bury it just put a stick here to mark where the trenches now next step pull water on the trench where everything steams inside doesn't get dried out should cook really nice last step I'm going to pull my fire back over it back to about where it was here we have it back in its old location now I'm going to just build it up again and we're going to start cooking all right so spend about 15 minutes now should be plenty of time and break my fire off alright just want a page to put your stake in the ground so the corn should be right here let's see all came out good thing about this technique to is that if it's not done I can just pull the fire back over 15 minutes should be enough though alright notice let's check it out all right I'm gonna just peel back a little bit so I can test it make sure it's cooked juicy mmm steaming a little bit try another oh yeah you guys close up of this all right so it's nice and clean because of its chief look at that still warming layers here let's try it out oh man hmm that is brilliant you see it steam in there hmm that's perfect mmm much better than boiling because boiling really draws out the flavor this is just ridiculous mmm so juicy tender and sweet stamens perfectly
