Tom,

Thank you so much for putting this encouraging video together. The verses go hand in hand and teach us to trust in Him. God bless and I hope many will see this video

That’s awesome Tom..
We focus on outdoor cooking in troop# 5987 too.. Though we’ve found propane to be unreliable in cold weather.. and we try to teach the boys rustic survival skills (cooking with readily available wood) and have them pack all their essentials in go-bags.

First though, we spend a couple months on no-match fire craft, then knife safety, and then rustic cooking (on small wood-gasification cook stoves):

In addition, we also do a popular father/son survival cooking in fire coals with “Hunters Stew” of hamburger, carrots, potato, onion, season salt and ketchup, in double wrapped foil in the coals:

Then on one of our recent AT camping trips, we had them do rustic survival cooking (they have to cook all their own food, using nothing but what they bring in their go-bags):

(the pre-cooked bacon on a stick is a backup plan for those who didn’t bring everything they needed with them)

Very cool! It’s a great skill to learn. I was only able to scratch the surface in the video so it’s great to see the boys getting hands on experience. Gas stoves and fancy cookware are convenient, but there is no replacement to being able to bushcraft a fire and put together a survival meal. Thanks for sharing!

Tom, I was talking to Jeff the other day and he said that he and Ross got to taste some of your outdoor cooking when all of you were goose hunting.
