@jfcrock37 Yeah, the photos are a little dark, but as you know Everything tastes better in the wild! (or at least when your hungry sitting round a campfire)
Please get away from the plastic bottles. Wal-mart sells stainless steel bottles all day long that would be a better bet for heating water. Glad you are having fun. Be safe and thanks for posting!
@woodsinme I saw a survial show where they boiled water in plastic bottles. As you know we Hobos might come across a ton of plastic bottles in our travels, but not walmart stainless steel bottles.....hense the video and testing of plastic, thanks for the comments
@cred1616 Wish I knew! The easy stuff is no doubt in someone's pocket already. Just have to keep digging, I guess. Welcome to Gold Rush Georgia, mountain style :D
@brawny03 i use to live in jasper georgia 3 years ago for a year and a half, but if i would of known that there was gold in north georgia i would of been going for gold, but damn i didnt know
Interesting stuff, Brawny. I find a lot of lovely rocks, too, while out hiking and climbing, but after having them home a few days, they don't looks so pretty anymore. Why is that? Anyway, enjoyed this. Thanks for sharing.
I can see how the plastic that actually touches the water wouldn't melt over the fire--just like the paper cup won't burn when you boil water in it--but what about the rim above the water? Doesn't it get a bit soft and oozy?
@djbarryiii The plastic above the water level never got sticky. The whole bottle and "stew" pot gradually deformed a little. Weirdly enough, the containers didnt get sooty. I handled them to use the hot water and my hands didnt get dirty. I thought the plastic cordage would melt, but it didn't. I think that by keeping the flames just at the bottle of the vessels a balance of heat was achieved...enough to heat without damage.
@FriarTuck1961 This is my first time, Friar, and I just used this aluminum pan. Is it easier with a bona fide gold pan?Mine are in the mail. It really is fun, and you can't beat the scenery! Good history lessons here, too.

Great Video.
I panned for gold in NC this summer. Brought along some jalapeno kielbasa for the evening meal. You don't find much gold but it sure is fun.
