Primitive Skills: Build Chicken Trap in Forest, Cook in Dirt Hole with Primitive Technology

video description

Rating: 4.5; Vote: 2

I use a primitive net-trap to catch and cook a feral chicken at the off grid cabin in the forest. The wild chicken is cooked in an underground earth oven, over hot coals from a hardwood fire. This kind of primitive cooking is also called an hangi and was a survival cooking method used by primitive people. Primitive hangi or earth oven is primitive man's version of a modern oven, as it traps the heat down in the hole to help cook anything you suspend inside. The smoke and light heat will create a more tender meat as the heat breaks down the meat fibers over time. This primitive cooking method is very much like a slow cooker in our modern times since the outer layer prevents moisture from escaping. These birds are egg laying chickens that have escaped from the coop and have been living feral in the woods for several weeks. As they are not scared of humans, they will eventually get eaten by a woodland predator

You take a water cooker and cook water until it boils. Now and that is importand, you add halve a cup of cold water. You place your chicken in a bucket and pour the water all over the chicken. The slightly less then boiling hot water loosens all the feathers without cooking the skin to much. Now you can get out the feathers very quick and easy without ripping the skin apart. So you have a nice looking chicken to roast. Pro tip: Menthol cream in both of your nostrils makes the process of defeathering and gutting the chicken a way more pleasent experiance.

Ahhh, the elusive Canadian arborial chicken. Native to the most remote depths of the Canadian wilderness. Bloody beak and claw, the most feared of all inhabitants. Be safe! You're taking your life in your hands.

Never seen this way of cooking in a hole in the ground. It seems efficiant.
What kind of pants are those? I see everyone whering these with knee guard but more brands seem to be making them. Fjallraven?

So satisfying to peel the dry Onion and Garlic skins and burn them in the fire! Do it in the house and they are all over the place!
I like the birds singing track you picked for this video! Laughing

Probably this is the only place in the world we can find chickens in the forest.
In others places we need buy chickens on the market to hunt them.

When did you put in that cellar? I've been following you since you built the cabin but I must have missed that part of the build. Solid work.
