living challenge

good morning slept in a little bit of

rain going on

woke up at first light and was like it's

raining

no point in rush in this

it took us to 11 last night to get

everything squared away

i believe i'm actually take a little bit

of time too for my

self and uh i'm gonna do my devotions

read my bible for a little bit sounds

like the rain is slowing up it's been

like two hours since i woke up

near reading and just contemplating life

and all of its

wonderfulness and the beautiful sound of

the rain

and my covering and being nice and dry

and warm

i'm going to venture out now that it's

slowing down

40 chance of rain

[Music]

[Music]

oh

[Music]

still a little bit drippy and drizzly

but

mostly just from the trees

[Music]

you have a chance for showers or

thunderstorms and also a little

disservices roughly

off this thing will bring us a chance

for rain

expect rain to be heavy at times

especially this evening and then once

again late tonight so we prepared for

that

40 chance of rain for branson

[Music]

bit of a slow start wet morning fire

didn't want to take

we got it though get that uh beaver

chunked up a little bit and cooked

through the night it's looking not too

bad i'll show you

not too shabby for a bit of a cook

during the night

[Music]

[Music]

[Music]

[Music]

what do you think all right that looks

good what do you think yeah it looks

looks really good

i mean it looks like it's a tough chew

but uh she's just cooked through

just uh i don't know

breaking it right breaking the bread

apart that's not bad yeah you don't mind

my hands and your

no i'm not worried about it not at all

it'll be good that'll be good yeah no

that's good i'm glad we put this on last

night

yeah yeah that would have been that was

a good

by putting it on last night it must have

been a good i don't know what

five hours of kind of stewing away

through the night

softened her up and a little bit of a

warm up this morning throw some more of

these chanterelles in

and some bear fat we'll put her on the

fire once that's hot enough

we can put some coals on top get it

warmed up to a boil rolling

rolling boil and we'll be able to have

ourselves some brunch

there we go breakfast is on

and making it palatable when you're

eating it a ton

yeah right and i mean you can the

if you buy the ocean obviously you can

have salt yeah you could have brought

salt for me yeah i could have brought

some sea salt but uh

the only other salts you get from wild

food is the salts and stuff that are in

the bones all right

look at this just coming out oh

there's little bits of meat getting all

burnt a little bit from the coals that

were on top

just cooking up nice gonna let it cook

with just the pans heat for a little bit

let's slow cook yeehaw

that's awesome

[Music]

i'm gonna rig my slingshot up with some

heavier bands

guaranteed takedown for the grouse and

go with a

theraband

and one of my favorite warrior pouches

the navy seal

i got some green cold weather bands in

there too should get a lot colder

it gets closer down to freezing these

will make a big difference the theraband

does pretty decent in the cold

but the green precise cold weather works

really good

all right do a little practicing

get tuned up because i've been shooting

other slingshots a lot lately but i

really think the axiom is gonna be the

winner for the uh

for the grouse hunting so see what she

can do

[Music]

i want to make sure my aim is dead on i

don't want to hurt or wound anything

[Music]

so

[Music]

oh yeah look at that

fogging it right up with all the steam

coming off of that looks

nice chanterelles

fat that is

going to be oh that's going to be one

delicious

i'm going for that one right there that

looks all fatty and

meat

all that seasoning salt

makes it it's so much to chew

i wish i cut that in half but it's so

good

it really is chris has made applesauce

looks looks really good

excuse me i have to speak with my mouth

full are you going to eat applesauce

um i might have a little bit on my

beaver

beaver meat um but i'm still trying to

stay in

keto so i'm going to have a small amount

so i don't get too over sugared

this is like walking up to the buffet

help yourself so we've got uh

chanterelles we got

bear fat we got beaver meat it's

seasoned to perfection

and then over here you have dessert

which is applesauce

ah that beaver is just falling right

apart now even i mean you tore it up but

like

that's a big hunk of beaver meat oops

missed my mouth

yeah beaver is amazing

glad you like it i love it

it's so good it's like

i don't know it's just just like real

food

israel food man trapper canadian staple

from back way back when people were

exploring canada that's what people ate

chopped the beaver you sold the hide

pelts

and uh you ate the meat

drive right in there what a mix is that

beaver

chanterelle the big old chunks of fat in

here i mean like they're these sizes

these big old chunks of wiggly fat

so you would recommend people eat beaver

oh yeah yeah yeah just eat that dive

right in there

that's better than rabbit um

it's it's as good as goat which is like

my favorite meat

uh it reminds me a little bit of goat

leg it's like the stringier part of the

leg where it's like

kind of but like cooked really well

stewed down like this it just melts in

your mouth

it tastes pretty sugary yeah yeah it's

like real applesauce oh yeah

wild apple applesauce that's all left

for me

i don't know if i can eat all that we're

gonna eat no that is good

isn't it that's a wild apple tree we

find those

in southern ontario on the farm fields

they're everywhere like that and nobody

will bother with them because

they look kind of gross you know they're

all buggy and

you're going to do a little bit of work

to cut all that stuff out but

there's nothing wrong with them you make

an apple just more protein

protein little bug protein in there was

a funny story behind the

jeremy actually ate one raw and i think

it made him sick one time oh really

yeah he's even thrown up so i always

make sure i cook these because there's

bugs

literally all through it leaving all

sorts of you know what

so yeah that's what you get when you

don't use pesticides though

organic wild apples no spray

i'm gonna load up on some more go sit by

the fire and then we're gonna pack up i

think right and

see if we can't get some more grouse yep

we're not going to risk traveling i

think today it's been off and on rain

so i think we're going to stick close to

home one dinner a day before we head up

the river

see if we can't pull in some more

provisions like grouse wise

and then head out tomorrow say some

grace and

dig in some more lord thank you for this

food um

this beaver really is good enough that

it i feel like you could serve this in

like a

fancy restaurant easily and it would

people

be loving it until you told them what it

was

[Laughter]

all right stew's on for dinner we're

gonna head on down the road see if we

can get some grouse you guys want to

hear the best sound in the world

we're gonna see if we can uh cruise

around some of these back roads walk

around a bit

get some grouse for the slingshot and

some more with the shotgun

and have some fun

chase after them but

[Music]

got him

[Applause]

where are you at right here you see my

camera i actually do

okay all right

first grouse of the slingshot we uh

i missed him up there on the road he

flew into the bushes we went up into the

woods after him

i found him up in the tree i shot

through a couple pine needles

i think that's why i clipped him along

the back of the spine and that he was

all

flopping around and we jumped him in the

bushes here

and finished him off that's why i didn't

bring the camera for that part because i

wanted to make sure i

didn't uh leave him to suffer so we got

him

successfully let's see if we get some

more

whoa look at the size of that

wow that is one big beaver lodge

that thing is 12 feet tall i don't think

i've ever seen one this big there's not

even a pond here this is amazing

wow the beavers that live in this must

be like

12 foot across what a good eating that

would be huh

[Music]

well only one grouse today with a

slingshot

that's all right we got plenty of bear

to eat this will taste pretty good if we

cook her up with the

bear fat and i found some lobster

mushrooms

which are like this cool mushroom that

is not its own mushroom and basically

it colonizes other mushrooms they're

really easy to identify if you look them

up

there's like you can't miss it when you

find them and they're a good

tough like stewing mushroom so it should

be really good

so i took it down to the water got it

which is just a cut

and pull out its insides i left the

heart in there

and i took the gizzard and cut that open

and cleaned the rocks out and now i just

got to peel

out this tissue here from the gizzard

a little tough to eat and inside here

these two mussels of the gizzard it

would there's some rocks in there

and the bird will grind with the rocks

and the food until it's able to work

that

uh to its into its digestive system

the ribs and the front end of the beaver

that we haven't finished cooking

[Music]

yummy

[Music]

well it doesn't look as appealing in the

dusky light of

uh dusk

but i'm sure it tastes just as good as

before and everything's broken down so

much from

was it like a third cooking now on this

beaver yeah

um all right tastes just as good

[Music]

beavers still hitting the spot oh it is

hell

especially after trekking around

all day it's better than it was before

it is it's softer and juicier

and it tastes wicked good after trekking

around all day and trying to get

all those grouse and stuff so i guess i

won that challenge

just because we didn't see many but uh

that was a blast

yeah it was fun it was hard hun it was

disappointing that we weren't able to

find more but

you know the weather's not helping us

out no no

it's too rainy and miserable for birds

to even want to

show themselves probably we just deserve

a pat on the back for not just sitting

around when it was rainy and miserable

all day

getting out there and trying stuff

trying stuff see what we could

make work kind of thing keep ahead of

our food

yep we have so much food we don't know

when we're running out

yeah if we were living out here we'd

have to keep going oh yeah

yeah you can't just be like okay we're

good

all right just because we have 100

pounds of beer meat and what

what 15 pounds of bear fat maybe 20 i

don't know yeah

yeah something like that i mean if

you're not counting the fat that's still

in the bear meat that's

you know so yeah keep ahead the food if

you want to keep the weight on and keep

surviving

especially being that this is just early

fall and thriving

thriving thriving and winter will be

coming and so if we just started

saying hey we've got good enough food

for a couple weeks we'll just eat it

right and do nothing next you know

winter comes and you're

really really hungry and the chances of

getting stuff is even slimmer so

i'm enjoying
