yeah baking soda and sand will take soot off pots but why use a resource ya gotta buy with cash when nature provides for free. Grab a bunch of brown pine needles into a wad and wet em and scour it off. Great to wash the inside of the pot too and you don't need soap and no soap residue. Less water ya got to haul and heat. sand is hard to wash out and who wants to chomp on a bit that did not get washed out. Pine needles work and they get the job done better.

Did you eviscerate the trout from the gills? I saw when you popped it into the pan, it didn't look like you had gutted it in the traditional way. And the severance of the head was peculiar. Just curious, if you have fish cleaning techniques you'd like to share....
whats that french fries-like vegetable at 4:18? (Doesnt look like potatoe to me :S)
How do you know so much about the outdoors anyways? How did u learn it? I mean did u grow up with it or did u read books or take courses etc? What way of learning would u recommend?
@cordonsport5m those were potatoes... much of my exp i learned in the woods, most books dont offer the info. i also Native friends who live by thier ancesters tradition.
I live in Maine and use an oil candle for shelter heat. I have NO idea why I never thought to put a rock over the dang candle. What a "rockin"idea! Man! I like your vids brother.
I liked the trout oil tip! Damned right about your unpretentious style;too many 'survivalists' push such a rigid theory on what it takes to survive.Keep up the good work man!
Wild animals? Free ranging ponies that walk right up to ya huh? lol Brother I enjoy your videos and you have some good stuff here usually... really hope the wild animal thing was a joke . Kinda hard to tell if you're serious or kidding. Glad to see someone doing what they love!
TrapperJack, Great comment on survival techniques. I to have always said use what works, primitive, traditional, and modern. Absolutely no reason to limit yourself. Great vid.-Critr'
I typacilly don't comment too often ,but this video was an informative, and entertaining production. As a subscriber I look foreward to more of your excellent works.
I agree with you. Too many survivalists like to say theirs is the only way of survival. That's a darn limiting way of looking at life. It looks like you had a beautiful trip. Thanks for sharing it with us.
I am not far from the Smokies myself! I plan to go on some hikes there this summer. The great thing about where I live, in Tennessee, is that there are many national forests that I can experience.
wild ponies? where in the smokies are you? Mt. Rodgers?
scavenging crawdad claws? don't know about that 1 man. fresh fish is food everything else is bait.

here's a few tips, carry a 15x30 tarp, you can cut 12 poles. make a teepee have fire all night with a self feeding fire inside.
spray all your cookware/eating ware. with HIGH TEMP PAINT. it prevents the pitting of your coffee pots etc.
make a tripod you can have a fire inside and take the coals to cook with under your tripod.
Thanks for sharing what you do, here are just a few tips I knew....
keep it in the woods.
