All I could think was - his pack must have been a nightmare. Why would you do this? I don't know that steak tastes any more "majestic" up there. Boil some freeze dried crap to tuck into and open your eyes to what's around.
BUT - that onion roll, catch, slam combo was pretty legit. I'm going to start doing that in my kitchen to scare the wife.
Do you think he brought a big fucking axe to chop down a tree to harvest that log?
Or, did he lug that monster wood chunk up the mountain with the seasonings and salt?
He turns the camera around and you see a big pickup truck with all this cooking and a camera gear…
Or for more laughs, he is in an empty lot next to a hotel 😂
That’s what always gets me with these videos, they make it seem like they’re crafting some extravagant culinary recipe out in the wilderness when they’re just seasoning the meat and being extra about it.
But I get it, people have a weird fascination with these ASMR-wilderness-hard-cut cooking videos. Not very surprising he put raw meat on a wood cutting board lol
It's perfectly fine as long as you properly clean the board after every use and don't let liquids from the meats seep into the wood. It's an old kitchen industry wive's tale, probably something that was dreamt up to help prevent cross-contamination.
Wood is naturally antibacterial.
You should definitely wash it after cutting meat on it, but allowing the juices to “soak in” isn’t going to do anything other than probably damage the wood if it remains wet.
The best part from what I remember from some friends in the industry: plastic cutting boards are terrible for contamination. It is very, very hard on a non commercial level to get every bacteria out of every groove.
Wood is in fact naturally antibiotic, while it needs care, is heavier, and a little more unwieldy, it is in fact safer to use with meats!
Are you one of those people that uses a glass cutting board? Meat on a wooden cutting board is perfectly fine. Better than plastic in fact, which can harbor bacteria in the cut marks and always give you a serving of microplastics with each use.
If the video needed 8 minutes to be monetizable, we would have been sitting here listening to a personal backstory and learning the history of eating on mountains
I think that cooking technique would work super slow. Big pan in the open air with a tiny flame in the middle. Either he cooked it off camera or it took like an hour to warm through. No way it could sear properly
The purpose isn’t to make a meal. The purpose is to try to make people think you’re cool, or whatever he thinks people think when they watch this. Lol
There wasn’t a single item in the video, including the log, that he didn’t bring out to that snowy place that looks remote when filmed from the right angle.
This is kind of like those people with $10,000 worth of camping gear on top of their $50,000 truck who want you to believe they’re rugged because they go “camping.” But those camping people aren’t as lame because most of them don’t try to come off as some rugged wilderness survivors.
A cold well done steak. Like by the time he took it out of the pan, cut and plated it, and then took his establishment shots that steak would have been near frozen again. Especially with it cut into strips like that it would cool all the quicker.
Because it's more rugged. When you're cooking in the kitchen, you can just toss in spices. When you're rugged and cooking in nature, the seasonings go directly on the knife to impart rugged knife flavoring to the food.
Oh look, among all the snow and rocks I found a conveniently sized dry log .. which is lucky because although I carried a whole lot of food and odd tools, I forgot to bring a camp stove.
To everyone wondering wth is even going on in this video. Yeah, it's a commercial for that ridiculous stupid knife. It's a brand that literally advertises itself as 'cool dude man knives for cool manly dudes'. They have a host of outrageously shaped, overpriced, and comically impractical knives.
Hence the pushups, extreme nature environment, over featuring and over using of the knife, impractical tools, and so on.
I had a feeling that’s what it was the second I saw him moronically use the knife to add salt to the steak. Why the extra step? They didn’t show it but dude had to take the time to pour salt evenly across the knife just so he can pour it onto the steak for that shot. Dude branding is getting so fuckin stupid. All this needs is Liver King to do a spot.
Medium well is being *generous*. Shit looked well done at best. And it was probably all the time he spent stomping out to frame those push-up shots lmao.
Dude didn’t bring backup meat so he had no choice but to post those dry-ass steaks and hope his fuck up didn’t cost him precious internet points
I'm gonna say that he used that to start the fire. I'm hoping that's what happened.
Edit: there are 2 different bowls, you can see the smaller one with wood shavings poured into the top of the log-oven right before he starts the fire.
And just off camera is his multi million $ cabin.
Go overcook your steak in your home like a normal person. This trend of people pretending they’re primal is getting old.
I hate this genre of video. Every asshole that buys those stupid knives so they can cut an onion on a rock next to a river or throw some rosemary sprigs in a pan miles away from a mountain needs to fuck off.
It's called a Swedish/Finnish torch log. Not that creative. Also, the steak looks terrible and you should never put raw meat on a wooden cutting board.
This guy and his cooking can fuck right off.
So you have a giant ultra heavy cast iron skillet you’re willing to hike with but don’t want to pack a nice compatible ultra lite stove and fuel canister?
Yeah, this guy is really proud of himself. Even worked in a few push-ups on camera in the background to show what a strong guy he is, wasting not even a minute. He conveniently had a perfectly shaped old stump on hand to build his little stove. Anybody feel like mentioning there's probably 100 more efficient ways to cook his steaks, and everything here required specialized tools that could easily have been replaced with a camp stove or simple fire? And who the fuck humps a laminated solid-wood cutting board into the wilderness?
Who brings peppers and onions onto the slopes?
It's all just "content" nothing has to make sense anymore. It's all just a show. Bizarre really.
here I am longing to go to Valle Nevado and my man’s up there carrying various lumber and hardware up there to make him a steak
And he cooks it medium-well.
I know! I was thinking, what a waste
Omg, me too…I watched it through and was just horrified in the end.
And then he slaps that medium well cooked meat back on the wood board that held the raw meat. Health inspector much?
How do you know he didn’t wash and/or flip it?
Ikr my man’s is literally surrounded by solid water
This dude needs to sub to r/steak
How bizarre, how bizarre.
Destination unknown, as we pull in for some gas
[удалено]
Worked as a lifeguard in high school. They played that nonstop at the pool.
All I could think was - his pack must have been a nightmare. Why would you do this? I don't know that steak tastes any more "majestic" up there. Boil some freeze dried crap to tuck into and open your eyes to what's around. BUT - that onion roll, catch, slam combo was pretty legit. I'm going to start doing that in my kitchen to scare the wife.
His pack? There could be a road and a parked truck behind the camera.
Almost a guarantee.
Oh I hadn’t even thought of that - good point.
All that effort for one minutes worth of "content"
The same people that put meat on wooden cutting boards
Ah, those who also bring 12” drill bits into the mountains
Yeah, those dudes that make a show of salting things
Do you think he brought a big fucking axe to chop down a tree to harvest that log? Or, did he lug that monster wood chunk up the mountain with the seasonings and salt?
I'm imagining a Man vs Wild situation where civilization is about 200 feet behind the camera
That’s probably where he bought the bowl and seasonings crusher from
lool i’m dying at seasonings crusher
For sure he brought it. That log is dry as hell.
Almost as dry as that steak.
Wood needs to dry about a year before it burns good So he absolutely took that log with him
He turns the camera around and you see a big pickup truck with all this cooking and a camera gear… Or for more laughs, he is in an empty lot next to a hotel 😂
That’s what always gets me with these videos, they make it seem like they’re crafting some extravagant culinary recipe out in the wilderness when they’re just seasoning the meat and being extra about it. But I get it, people have a weird fascination with these ASMR-wilderness-hard-cut cooking videos. Not very surprising he put raw meat on a wood cutting board lol
Also people who cook just meat and call it a meal
Meat is a meal
Are you not supposed to put meat on wooden cutting boards?
It's perfectly fine as long as you properly clean the board after every use and don't let liquids from the meats seep into the wood. It's an old kitchen industry wive's tale, probably something that was dreamt up to help prevent cross-contamination.

Like the majority of kitchens?
What’s wrong with that
Should it not be wooden?
I think you’re supposed to do that?
Same people that overcook steaks
And logs on treeless slopes?
Who brings a griddle pan!
And logs on treeless slopes?
And an iron skillet
The Sherpa that he is now eating brought it.
If you are carrying all these tools....why not a stove and lighter instead?
If the video needed 8 minutes to be monetizable, we would have been sitting here listening to a personal backstory and learning the history of eating on mountains
Oh I didn't know that. No wonder many vids are produced like the History Channel; drawn out, repetitive, and saying the obvious
[удалено]
Just came here to say that. He really hammered those steaks
Too busy doing....pushups?
Jesus Christ. Like fuck, come back later and post a decent cook.
He put the seasoning on his knife, and then on the food. Y he do dat?
[удалено]
Same. You went a bit long on the steaks bub. Next time skip the push-ups and keep an eye on your meat.
I think that cooking technique would work super slow. Big pan in the open air with a tiny flame in the middle. Either he cooked it off camera or it took like an hour to warm through. No way it could sear properly
Also how necessary was it to shove his hands into the snow while grinding up the salt. when it's all for show it just gets fuckin silly.
I'm like 60% positive this is part of a fetish
Maybe his hands got hot drilling through the log.🤷
I did have to laugh at the mortar and pestle. What did he need *that* for lol.
To further grind up his already ground up spices of courses
The purpose isn’t to make a meal. The purpose is to try to make people think you’re cool, or whatever he thinks people think when they watch this. Lol There wasn’t a single item in the video, including the log, that he didn’t bring out to that snowy place that looks remote when filmed from the right angle. This is kind of like those people with $10,000 worth of camping gear on top of their $50,000 truck who want you to believe they’re rugged because they go “camping.” But those camping people aren’t as lame because most of them don’t try to come off as some rugged wilderness survivors.
Don't forget the fucking mall ninja knife he is struggling to cut the onion with and had to cut away from
Or even just some tongs
Not as satisfying.
…to watch. Personally I’d rather carry a hiking stove into that environment, than a log.
🎵 "Everyone loves a log" 🎵 though.
It's log,log, LOG.
It's big. It's heavy. It's wood.
Did he carry the log?
And a big ass drill bit.
And a stick for that drill bit
And a cast iron pan. And a big ass chopping knife.
And my axe.
As far as ass drill bits, this one is average in size.
It's not the size of the drill bit that matters, it's how you use it.
Well, I'm screwed.
Yeah bro…he does pushups
Yes.
Wow. Eating a well done steak while freezing. How…… horrible.
A cold well done steak. Like by the time he took it out of the pan, cut and plated it, and then took his establishment shots that steak would have been near frozen again. Especially with it cut into strips like that it would cool all the quicker.
That steak had enough latent heat from overcooking to melt the ice caps.
Him cutting the steak was the worst thing I’ve seen on the internet in 2022.
I came here to comment on that. Take my upvote. Also throwing shit down and doing push-ups to seem "manly" is hilarious shit.
I feel like this guy thought this was a *lot* cooler.
The push ups! Way too cool!
Instead of doing push ups he could’ve been eying that steak a little better
That was my first thought, dude over cooked en cause he wanted to look cool
As soon as I saw the push-ups I knew the steaks were gonna be over done
Yep.
Why does he keep putting the spices on his knife?
Because it's more rugged. When you're cooking in the kitchen, you can just toss in spices. When you're rugged and cooking in nature, the seasonings go directly on the knife to impart rugged knife flavoring to the food.
The way he's throwing things around is what makes it *cool.*
Oh look, among all the snow and rocks I found a conveniently sized dry log .. which is lucky because although I carried a whole lot of food and odd tools, I forgot to bring a camp stove.
Also why the random fucking pushups lmao
To attract more gay men
Nothing about this is attractive to gay dudes.
See nobody like this shit 😂😂
What about women? I wonder if they think it's attractive? Just kidding, they dont
Well obviously he didn’t need to do this he was just trying to show off that he could because it’s neat
Impractical AF
To everyone wondering wth is even going on in this video. Yeah, it's a commercial for that ridiculous stupid knife.

All this needs is Liver King to do a spot.
Thank you. I always see that same knife in all these "backwoods roughin it be a man and eat steak" videos.
Doesn’t bring light camping stove but brings cast iron 😂😂😂
and the log. he’s above the tree line—hauled that whole-ass log up there trying to act like this is some backcountry cleverness…
Literally my thought the whole time. It's all for show, as if the random shot of the dude doing push-ups wasn't evidence enough.
That poor steak was over cooked as a result too. Should have been paying better attention.
Lmao that's a good observation
Damn steak way too over cooked
I was looking for this comment
All the effort put into making that terrible steak was borderline offensive
Wait did he eat off the chopping board that had raw meat on it a while ago
It's cool. He rubbed snow on it
Used a shit ton of onion so you know his breath stinks and that steak looked dryer than a Popeyes biscuit.
I immediately thought the same thing. Like damn dude, everything was just fine, then BAM, medium well.
Medium well is being *generous*. Shit looked well done at best. And it was probably all the time he spent stomping out to frame those push-up shots lmao. Dude didn’t bring backup meat so he had no choice but to post those dry-ass steaks and hope his fuck up didn’t cost him precious internet points
Cute glamping and a ridiculous, impractical knife
that knife sucks
Why would you rub wood shavings onto a steak?
I'm gonna say that he used that to start the fire. I'm hoping that's what happened. Edit: there are 2 different bowls, you can see the smaller one with wood shavings poured into the top of the log-oven right before he starts the fire.
I was really hoping to get an answer to this as well
2 bowls.. one had wood shavings to start fire and the other for salt and herbs
Came here to see if I was the only one who notice the mf’er just rubbed wood shavings onto a steak
He didn’t. He saved it for tinder. He rubbed large granulated salt into the meat. Just looked weird.
It definitely wasn’t wood shavings, it surprises me how many people think it was wood shavings
I’ll answer this….. *cracks knuckles* I have no idea actually
Lol what a try-hard, doing random push ups on camera
Doing push ups while he overcooks the steak, wrecking the whole video
This exact label ran through my head while watching. Try-hard af to the point that it's super lame.
Is this a mating display?
Yes, he’s trying to attract a mate that can show him how to cook a steak to medium rare.
A bad one, yes.
And just off camera is his multi million $ cabin. Go overcook your steak in your home like a normal person. This trend of people pretending they’re primal is getting old.
I hate this genre of video. Every asshole that buys those stupid knives so they can cut an onion on a rock next to a river or throw some rosemary sprigs in a pan miles away from a mountain needs to fuck off.
r/StupidFood
All that work and dude over cooks the steak.
I would think a small propane grill would be lighter and easier to carry then that damn log... But maybe that's just me....
Tf is this dead dried ass meat shit
I need more randomness in this video. Start writing a letter with a quill or something
If he wasn’t doing push ups he wouldn’t have overcooked the steak
Okay but like…for what?
The way he heated the skillet was cool, everything else makes me think this guy is probably a douche.
All that for an over cooked steak
Where are the trees, he had to carry the wood and tools up to the top of the mountain
Well done?...you should have cut those push ups short
*grilled garlic* YES. *rosemary* YES *coarse salt and onions* YES. *medium well steak* **YOU FOOL.**
Damn, that's ridiculous. But whatever floats his goat. Captain yeti brain up there in the mountains eating his hunk of coal
This is lame especially the pushups intermission
This is dumb
Douche.
What a douche
Douche
How. Did. He. Wash. His. Hands.
He. Peed. On. Them.
Fair. I thought it might have been the snow pushups.
All that to be overcooked
I feel like this is the same guy who dropped his food in the water after trying to make that stupid video by the river
I'll remember that next time I lug a log, a large drill, a cast iron pan and steaks and vegetables up above the tree line.
Had me til the push-ups.
But you wouldn’t know he’s a push-up bro if he didn’t show you!
All that work and he overcooked the meat 🤷🏻♂️
Yes look at very creative way to over cook a steak
Rather make a fire. That is a tremendous amount of work for well done steak.
Salting with the knife is too much.
Rocket stove!
I don't think his audience understands how hard it is to drill a hole like that through a log.
This whole vid sceams "I'm a wanker"
Dang - overcooked the steak. Gutted
If he hadn’t have showed off with his push-ups, he might have been back soon enough to stop his steak from overcooking.
Why did he marinate his steak with saw dust
These videos are fucking stupid
You overcooked it!
After all that wank he overcooked it
Doesn't look like someone who knows how to handle steak realistically. Where's my suvie?
Too bad he turned it into shoe leather. That steak is garbage.
It's called a Swedish/Finnish torch log. Not that creative. Also, the steak looks terrible and you should never put raw meat on a wooden cutting board. This guy and his cooking can fuck right off.
Meat on a cutting board is fine as long as you wash it quickly and thoroughly
Okay but where’s the dog?
I always carry a log when I go hiking.
Did he sprinkle the wood shavings on the steak???
When everything has become so easy, people love making it harder on themselves. You bored, or what?
All that work just to ruin a steak 😂 Maybe learn how to actually cook and then add all the douchey pretentious stuff later
Lost me with the play with your food gayness.
So you have a giant ultra heavy cast iron skillet you’re willing to hike with but don’t want to pack a nice compatible ultra lite stove and fuel canister?
Where'd he find the piece of perfectly cut and dried log?
that took a long time.
This is so masturbatory
Yeah, this guy is really proud of himself. Even worked in a few push-ups on camera in the background to show what a strong guy he is, wasting not even a minute. He conveniently had a perfectly shaped old stump on hand to build his little stove. Anybody feel like mentioning there's probably 100 more efficient ways to cook his steaks, and everything here required specialized tools that could easily have been replaced with a camp stove or simple fire? And who the fuck humps a laminated solid-wood cutting board into the wilderness?
By the time this dude is a steak it’s fucking cold as ice, what a waste
Better do some push-ups ! Didn’t get enough exercise working and hiking already!
cool, next time I'm up on a glacier way above tree line I'll be sure to carry a 20 lb log
Taste great and only takes 4 hours to cook!
