Video Transcription

afternoon guys take a breath path our school I've been out a little Scout came back and I think what I'm going to do is I'm going to go ahead and continue I talked about in the video this morning about how to use your Bush pot for conduction oven and I think that I'm going to make myself a bit of chocolate chip cookie to go with some hot chocolate just to get myself warmed back up and feeling good give me some energy I've got this square stove that we talked about the other day I'll try to get these on my website for you guys a pretty good handy little tool works great in the cabin may not be too practical for packing but some people may want to do it the Trinity of stove fits down in there perfect and the bush pot actually sits on top of a pretty good any direction you want to put it so we're going to use this for our convection oven stand instead of using a campfire today so the first thing we need to do is we need to I've got this small bottle here this is a ak-47 oil bottle but I have completely burned it out to get any cosmoline residue or anything like that out of it and it's just got vegetable oil in it all I'm going to do is just take this pan and grease up a little bit with some of that oil just to make sure that nothing sticks to it this is not a necessary evil but for sake of what we're doing we're gonna try to do as clean as possible so we're just gonna oil that pan real good and I keep this bottle on my cook kit or other things as well like cleaning my firearms and taking care of them now we're just gonna take our bag and I've dumped the contents or part of the contents of my just out of water mix into this ziplock bag and we're just going to add some water to that and we're going to use this bag to actually mix it in as well just like we did our Bannock okay the next thing we're going to need to do we'll let this sit for a minute the next thing we're gonna need to do is get our Trangia stove lit and what I really like about these Trangia type stoves is they're really easy to light and you can like this thing pretty much which is the Ferro rod and then we just got to give it a few minutes to shut up and get rolling and by that time we'll be ready to put our batter in our bowl okay Snow's getting close so what we're gonna do now is we're just going to take our contents of our bag dump them into our Bowl here and if our batter is right that's going to be a little bit of a squeezing process to get it all out I'm just going to fall right out of there and we could cut a corner of this bag if we wanted to to get it all out of there a little bit easier but the point is if we do that we just tore up our bag I can wash this bag out and reuse it if I'm in a wilderness environment I can just take this thing down to the creek bed and wash it out and I'm not wasting a possible container at that point by cutting a hole in it okay once we've got that taken care of we're gonna take our Bush pot and we're gonna set it right on a side here just like this we're going to slide the tray in put the cap on the front just like this make sure we got a good friction fit make sure we're centered on our stove and let her cook okay guys let's kind of take a look here see what we got going on man look at that oh we got cooking away in there now if we're worried about the heat we want to let some heat escape we just open it up we still got plenty of heat inside but we'll let some heat escape from it so we don't burn it so I've already buddy getting too hot we'll open it up for a few minutes okay guys I've just pulled the front of this off again and one of the things that I do when I'm cooking this kind of stuff is because you're closer on the sides to the heat then you are the front in the back I do rotate this thing two or three times and one thing you can do is while you're cooking is to see if it's done is just poke a stick into it if the stick comes out dry like that you're probably done so we're looking pretty good right now so we're gonna go ahead and pull this thing out I was going to rotate it again like we're gonna pull it out and let it cool down see what we're at guys stay with me okay now if I want some water for a drink comes to take my grabbers I'm gonna grab this handle I'm just going to rotate this thing I need to squeeze my size together a little bit I can so it looks like I may have to do that that's the beauty of this thing is it's flexible so I can move these sides in just like this to close that gap set that right on top and you go ahead and get some water doing a cop juggling water right here so we did it yeah you take one to get that water because it's already preheated we'll get that going to make us some hot chocolate in the cooks okay guys while we're waiting on water to heat up here let's get our pan over here we'll just scoop underneath this dude and see what we got it's like she's loose in there got a couple spots on - they're burnt right here on the edges but it's definitely nice and done ain't nothing wrong with that thing pan is not gonna be difficult to clean out put some water in that and get that thing boiling stretch the bump stuff real quick to rush them okay guys what's up see what we got here man look at that dude that thing looks good I mean it's got a little bit of burn on right there on the edge but you know what it's all edible do you never eat burnt food you never been married it's just that simple got our cooks a full of hot chocolate here to go with it this is gonna be nice and warming right here I an old man I don't want this muffin

taste this bad boy okay see we got here let's just peel this do you part eat that thing with fingers man look at that golly I think he's just crumbling down boys are China yo chocolate-chip muffin as a winner that's winning right there grand like a meal eat Breyers yeah holla folks I really appreciate you joining me today for this quick video on how to make a convection oven out of your bush pot don't necessarily have to have the bush pot to do that don't necessarily have the same equipment I had to do that it's just a matter of trapping heat in a chamber placing a small bustle in that chamber that has very little contact with the surroundings within the chamber just like your oven when we contact you have theirs on the rack everything else is convective heat this is just a real simple way to do it in a bush camp situation or out of the woods if you choose to do that but these you know $1 packets of just out of water tight breads and foods I can't tell you how phenomenal they are chocolate chip muffin chocolate milk whoo-whee look out jack man can't stop eating long it quit doing the video I appreciate everything you for me for my school my family my friends let's pillage to sponsors I'll be back to another video since I can't thanks guys
