Video Transcription

afternoon guys Dave Canberra at the Pathfinder school back again with a another video on our 21st century long hunter series and what we're talking about today we're going to begin a little bit of a series on food and food preparation that they would have carried or that we can still carry to this day in the woods to give us energy and things like that and once you have to understand is just like what we teach in the Pathfinder system you should be foraging and looking for food immediately when you make a base camp after you've taken care of your initial needs of fire water and shelter then you need to make sure that you're looking for food don't wait till you've expended the resource that you have in your pack you should be out actively hunting and trapping to begin with foraging for lure food chain resources like crayfish and things like that beforehand while your traps and things are working for you or when you can't find a lower food chain resource that's when you start to delve into or dip into what you have in your pack as well as supplementing the food you find with things from your pack so what can we carry in our pack that will both emulate what the long hunters and the frontiersman did as well as still give us the nourishment advantages that we need today what was a couple things you can do you know first of all you can carry a 32 ounce bag of a good trail mix that has cashews almonds raisins and M&Ms in it and that will give you about 6,000 calories so that's almost three days worth of an MRE right there but if you don't choose to carry that you want to carry things to supplement your diet or supplement your food with food that you catch then you can do things like what the long runners and frontiersmen did you can carry things like corn flour regular flour corn starch the things that it takes to cook with that you can use for additives or a loan for food and sustenance parts corn Steve critter Davis did a very good video of parched corn on my channel not very long ago dried fruits pemmican all of those things are things that they carry with them to sustain themselves we're going to do videos on several different things during this series what we're going to talk about today is we're going to talk about a drop bread or a drop biscuit that's made with cornmeal what we're going to use is we're going to use an Aunt Jemima cornmeal that already has the things in it that you would add to it to make it a soft rising type bread and the other thing we're going to add to that is water and Muscovado or pure cane sugar to supplement that give it a sweet flavor like a sweet corn bread we're going to build an oven with our fire and we're going to cook a drop bread for you and we're going to show you how you can let that add to the diet that you have with you for sustainability and things like breads that have a lot of carbohydrates in them will give you long term burning calories to keep your body's core temperature and control so today that's what we're going to talk about in the long later series stay with me geremy Jenny's here at the school as well we're going to build a little oven and we're going to make some drop cornbread drop sweet cornbread just stay with me okay so in this 21st century long winter series we're talking about food that you can take on the trail with you and we've got some salt rising corn flour mix here that we've mixed in with pure cane sugar or Muscovado sugar and I've mixed that up into a dough and this bag real good by adding water to it Jeremy's got us an oven set up right here that we're going to use what we've got hot coals all around a rock we're going to cook on that rock and basically build an oven around our small loaf of bread so we want to do now as we want to get us and this is just going to be with like a drop loaf so we're going to make a round ball out of this we're going to slam it on the rock like that and it's going to be like a drop biscuit or a drop loaf of bread we're going to close that in we're going to bake it on that rock all right Jeremy close your up brother good deal we've got fire all around us we've made ourselves like a makeshift oven to cook this bread and there's enough in this court freezer bag for at least four of those you know and when you're done cooking you can always just wrap them up in a bandana and carry them with you or you can just keep this mix wet like this and it'll be good for a few days just like this in the bag lols doesn't leak on you where's our bread cooking in our makeshift oven there are dropped corn bread burned on one edge a little bit but she's rising up good cooking good should be a good trail snack here pretty shortly all right she's little burn on the top too bad it splits in half on you that's not that big a deal either it just means she's getting down on the inside man yeah good one cow all right man let's have a lash we burned you up a little bit on the outside those the insides nice and fluffy and get wet oh man not good yeah I feel good we're

I make for a good snack right before bed keep your metabolism going all night keep it warm you
