The above video version is a very popular meal and often requested on camp outs. We know many of you like this kind of food and thought we share one of our favorite black pot recipes with you. It is our version and we call it Humboldt Outdoorsman Special. Thanks for watching.....and remember, it's all about eating good in the great outdoors. OCIC Part III

We have many local mm & women who live off the grid in our area. It is a recipe enjoyed by hunters, lumberjacks, Boy Scout Troops, and others spending long hours outdoors. Not everyone who views this version may desire a meal with a high calorie/fat content. This version can be adjusted to suit your own dietary needs. Substitute with egg whites (or EggBeaters), low fat cheese, and meat substitutes as I often do. You have a choice of what you want to add in, or leave out. OCIC Part II

Thanks to those of you who like this meal. The title of the recipe says "Our Version" and that is just what this recipe is......our version. People reading this might be thinking of mountain men during the 1800's. The majority of the ingredients in our version would not be readily available or an option for a mm of the 1880's. This version is meant for those who want a hearty meal to sustain their energy level throughout the day. OCIC Part I

@GWNDFM

Thanks and a great new year! I like your log cabin BTW.

This looks really delicious! Cast iron cooking is so much better for you than nonstick, which has harmful chemicals and is linked with cancer and Alzheimer's disease. This is a great recipe, thanks! How could we modify it to cook at home with a cast iron pan?

[outdoorcastironcook]

@chinafakeeggs

By cast iron pan, if you mean a skillet--a deep one would be good to use. Also, this was a big batch so you can scale down the size/portions & reduce the amount of ingredients according to the size of the pan. Cover with a lid or foil and bake in home range at the same temperature.

@born68 Absolutely amazing that you took the time to respond and that you make a dish called an omlet that is just like this!!! It never takes us 3 hours to do this recipe, but prep and cooking times vary from human to human. We make a skillet egg dish which you cook like a pancake, add ingredients to the middle and fold it over, We call THAT an omelet (or omelette). ;) Congratulations to you also.

It depends on the mountain man...

A true mountain man would pick them from his garden.
