00:00 (upbeat music)
00:02 With the amount of daylight I got left,
00:06 I don't think that I'm gonna make it back up
00:08 for the next trip.
00:10 I'm just gonna unpack, have dinner and stuff,
00:13 but I still got a few hours of daylight now,
00:15 but I think the best thing to do is just hole up.
00:17 There's one of my hams.
00:21 That's a shoulder.
00:24 And there is the pot of gold, man.
00:30 That's my big sack of fat.
00:32 My lard.
00:34 What I'm gonna do for tonight,
00:36 I'm gonna take some of this fat,
00:38 I can just turn that fat right into cooking oil.
00:42 So I need to make a fire, cube up that fat,
00:44 start running it down,
00:46 then start just firing pieces of meat in there
00:47 and frying it up, that's gonna be a good dinner.
00:50 Oh, there's good stuff right there.
00:52 Those spruce twigs, they got resin in them a little bit.
00:56 They burn good.
00:58 (fire crackling)
01:01 You can carry fire paste around
01:04 and chew in tobacco tin, anything.
01:08 Take my ball of kindling, lay a little bit down,
01:13 smear that fire paste in there.
01:15 Check all your pockets for a lighter.
01:26 This would be like getting into sirloin here,
01:31 but I just want some red meat.
01:33 There's some good stuff.
01:36 Perfect.
01:39 You're cutting like little kebab-sized pieces.
01:43 I'm gonna melt that down.
01:47 Hear that?
01:50 So we're getting some oil out of there.
01:55 Another way you can do this,
01:57 you can actually put water in the bottom of a cup,
02:02 a little bit like a quarter inch of water,
02:04 inch of water even, put the fat in there,
02:07 and you can boil the fat out
02:09 and that fat will wind up sitting on top of the water.
02:13 But for deep frying meat, it's better to have pure oil.
02:17 But if you just wanted oil out to drink,
02:19 just if you needed like a quick energy charge,
02:24 you can do it that way a lot faster
02:25 than rendering it like this.
02:27 My brother, one time I watched him,
02:28 he like rendered a mug full of bear fat
02:30 and just drank it like coffee.
02:32 That's how good that stuff is.
02:34 And hunters like Daniel Boone,
02:36 I mean that guy would shoot bears just for oil.
02:38 You could sell the stuff, it was a marketable commodity.
02:41 You can continue to cook these fat pieces down, down, down,
02:46 and they'll just wind up being crispy little treats,
02:47 like little pork rinds.
02:49 You see how much oil already I got built up.
02:52 And you can use this oil and reuse it.
02:55 I'm gonna drop a few pieces of meat in there now.
02:57 That's bear meat cooked in blueberry bear fat.
03:09 Oh my God, that's good.
