Australian Spiced Steak and Damper. TJM Metalworks Mini Fire Anchor. Campfire Cooking. 

The only problem with this video, is I can only hit “like” once.

Very cinematic video. It's like watching an artistic movie. Cheers mate.

Ach. after the day I've had, needed a bit of this. Cheers Simon

Always looks like ur sneaking through peoples yards and fields. Great video bet its nice to b out ur own backyard

A beautiful mini adventure, something I could manage myself! Thank You for the inspiration. 🏕🛶🍳

Thanks Simon. When the World is pulling itself to bits its lovely to watch something gentle and calm. We both love your vids. Thank you!!

Nice one Simon and Maggie. So glad you liked the taste of Australia 🇦🇺 in the English country side. Cheers mate.

Looks “mouth watering “ delicious ❤️

Thanks for sharing. So good to see Maggie out with you.

Lovely cook on a beautiful day next to the river!!!

Looks fantastic that 👍🏻

Summer is tough on sweet Mags I bet, with all the lovely black hair. 🐾 Bless her. Enjoyed the video and love your walks and canoeing around the river. Breakfast looked awesome and I especially love that anchor-thing for cooking. Wonderful♥️ Great music choices as always. 🎶

I love how Maggie always gets a bit! Great video as always 👍

Simon Great vid aka Les Hiddins the bushtucker man 👍👍🤙🤙🤙

there are videos on yt showing cooking methods of damper. Love Maggie, she's lovely

Normally I make the Damper into a ball and cook generally cook it in a campoven which does make it rise a little more than yours did, but yours looked good too. To take the damper to the next level you can add onions and either grated cheese or dried parmesan cheese to the mix along with mixed herbs. YUMMY. Glad you enjoyed some of our good Aussie tucker. I love watching your videos. Keep enjoying life and stay safe. :)

Great video Simon I’ve ordered a fire anchor looks a great bit of kit

Nice one simon, brillant idea with the fire anchor and "the big ball of fluff" looking well. Steak looked awsome.

Maggie,lovely Maggie….what a sweet and gentle soul…Thank you for sharing your times together..You were a wonderful Dad to her…🐶

Thank you Simon! (thank you Maggie)

everyone comment so Simon comes back

If you want the best damper mix SR flour with a little salt and rub the flour with butter. Mix in milk to make dough. Knead for 10 mins place dough in Dutch oven and allow to rest and rise in a warm place for 15 mins. Deflate damper and let rise again for 15 mins. Cook for 20-30 mins. Voila!

Yay!!! Maggie is back!!

Just lately had some time to catch-up on your channel Simon. I am loving the cooking . Especially with the TJM gear (and the Dutch oven -potje - stuff ) . I have some TJM gear myself and it is exceptional. :) (I was wincing when you cut the steak and scraped the metal plate with your knife though 😱) Ade

As Maggie may scoff some steak, to go with Sy's bannock, The Selkirk Grace! ''Some hae meat and canna eat, And some hae meat that want it, But we hae meat and we can eat, And sae the Lord be thankit''

I mis-read the titla as "Steak and Danger" and instantly wanted to have some.

By the way mate, Than you for yet another fantastic video.. with Maggie of course...and that hat . Where did you get it..?

Simon try steaming your bread mix great with some Screech as a pudding

Wife: why are you so excited. Me: Mag's and Simon are on walk about and cooking steak! Wife: Mag's and Simon? Simon better watch out, Mag's is getting top billing.

always good content Simon, keep it up. what gloves do you use, are they lined?

You needed. A fried egg with. That simon lol.

You need a little Boker Wasabi G10 or Opinel no8 garden knife for your food not your RE Bush Tool Good Times Video

lol does maggie ever get groomed ? just started watching ur channel and subscribed....

What does the dog get to eat?...should imagine, being so big, he would require, a substantial meal

Yeah thanks Si, now I want a steak 😒

Is MAggie a Portuguese Water Dog?

❤Maggie❤ Thanks for the video Simon

I've missed seeing Maggie's big, furry face. You're both looking well. Take care.

Anyone else’s mouth start watering when simon cut into that steak (just off to the butchers)

I get dirt bikes past mine so often, I barely noticed it was on the video :) the intro reminded me of Jack walking his pony along the river and over the little foot bridges from Outta town.

Simon, great to see Maggie, nice music to start, truly love your videos, I didn't know that you and Kent survival did a video together, I'm watching that tonight, also I bought a sewing machine because of you, you've made sewing cool sir, I know I'll be rubbish but what the heck. First Nations gift from Australia, awesome, man that steak looked good, it's not even my dinner time yet and I'm hungry now, never cooked a damper myself but I will try it, cheers.

Nice lunch out mate :) and some nice peace and quiet too

Always such a pleasure to watch * Loved the Maggie close-ups. She is so majestic looking with her lions mane of fur.Thank you so much for continuing to share your passion & skills with us all. Sending well wishes *

YOUR MAGGIE IS A NEWFOUNDLANDer !!!! 👍 Maggie you are an absolute a BEAUTY !

Never heard the dirt bike. Wouldn't have known it was there. Probably the cheap ear buds I'm using. Great video, you always make me hungry.

'Aussie as' maaayte🤠👍❗️Greetings from Friday afternoon in Oz. You got sent some top goods! Gotta pick those younger leaves from the lemon myrtle, otherwise they're overpowering & stong😋, there's a cinnamon myrtle too😍😋. Nice use of a wider-angle lens on the bridge to give that 'converging-lines' effect 🎥 , top of the weir shot was pretty awesome too😎👍. Loving that ironmongery as well 👏👏👏. 😵giant hogweed flower in the closing sequence😲

This is an old video, but its nice to see Maggie. Such a sweetheart!

Wow a yummy ribeye 😋 it would appear that your name should be Simon the lucky bloke in the woods 🤭🤣 Crack on brother 👍🏾💪🏾

Dogs should live as long as humans!!! Thanks for the video!

Meat, Bread, Tea , a nice combination, that sauce made it special. Great fire anchor.

Nice video mate, just sat watching you from South Australia drinking a cold beer the steak looked awesome. Looks like Kentish woodland your in there? Cant beat a good Aussie blended steak mix I live an hour from the Murray river 👍😎🇦🇺

I love your show & Andy’s - love your dog ❤ Jane from Australia 🇦🇺

Perfect example of how a walk can be more than just a walk. Nice work, sir. -Steve

I was a vegetarian for 17 years... before I started to get interested in bushcrafting and watched video's like this. :p

Such a perfect riparian feast.That steak was the best cut of rib-eye I'd ever seen.Have you ever made stinging nettle soup? Thanks for the link to Native Oz. Bushfoods.Always happy to support a First Nation owned enterprise.The chili sauce looked a treat.You find the best spots to film in! Cheers, Debbie

Awesome vid, and steak! Thanks for also checking out my insta 👍

cool, my brother works in a forge fabricating all sorts of things :), the food looks yummy Dirtbike... im gonna say that every time i break wind now Simon haha

Simon a Chef in the Woods ........yummy food ...great video again of your equipment and Cooking.Loved the close ups of Maggie.... your videos are wonderful ,Thanks ......

great video, you should come to the States and do some camping

damn.. love seeing your videos with maggie. the only problem im not there also. keep doing these videos and take good care of your dog. she is a good pup.

Was there some subliminal messaging there? Because now I want to buy a dirt bike... I will be trying the damper next time i go camping though.

Santalum acuminatum is the Quandong tree (pronounced Kwon dong) desert tree from my neck of the woods in Australia

Another great video, good camera positioning making the whole Film entertaining, Thanks Ian

Beautiful video and great to see Mags out and about. I've made Aussie dampers in the camp oven, some sweet, some savory. Nice and simple like that perfect looking steak. Thanks for another escape to the countryside.

I thought this said "Steak and Danger" at first.

I like my steaks well done, I'd have sent that one back to the pasture with a bell around it's neck... I'd forgotten all about damper, I need to get out and make myself some. Beautiful area to be walking, and what a well behaved girl Maggie is :)

Mate... you make the world a nicer place to live. And you're an inspiration. Thank you. xx

Magscam is cool from Norfolk's own Les Hiddins Bushtucker Man

Simon, so great to see you and Maggie out and about! That walk looked very therapeutic with a great breakfast thrown in. Thanks for sharing!

Great video. That steak with the sauce looked tasty! Like seeing Maggie . Always love your choice of music.

Lovely that Simon👌 You really know how to put a film together. Nicely paced and relaxing to watch. Its 11pm and I'm ready for bed but too hungry now to sleep😂

Very nice.

Have you ever seen the 1979 movie "The Earthling ". Filmed in Australia, has bushcrafting in it long before it became popular. Stars William Holden and Ricky Schroder. Look it up, you will enjoy it. I first saw it in the early 80's. I have it on DVD and watch it ever so often. Was the next to last movie William Holden made before he passed away.

Best channel on RU-vid! Amazing as always

Awesome, thanks Simon.

Well this was a WINNER! A beautiful corner of the world, that lovely meal, the amazing fire anchor (That I was certain you had made!) the delightful treats from Australia and that marvelous bag! And Maggie of course! She's a dear, sweet companion.

Another great video keep them coming and great to see Maggie out with you be safe

Your video's just make me happy.......

Nice one Simon👌. Love our bush flavours, you got some good ones there (FYI quandong is pronounced kwon-dong and damper isn't flat 🙃). Also damper, butter & a decent lather of golden syrup is delish.

A great start to my morning. Recalibrated a rather grumpy frame of mind having woken up too early. You're my youtube apothecary Simon. Keep them coming.

Delicious. My favorite breakfast!

Great day out...only way to make it better would be to add a canoe...I wonder if anyone makes a “canoe stove”? Boil some water for tea and put in a bagged noodle lunch.

Great video Simon, loving that grill and food looked amazing! Nice and chilled! Thanks for sharing Ash🏕

Almost a pommy Les Hiddins! 🤣🇦🇺 Simon, I think you’d love the old series of “Bushtucker Man” from decades ago. I don’t know if it’s available there but the are clips on RU-vid. He was an Australian army officer who went out learning about native foods from aboriginal people, and then taught what he’d learned to our soldiers. For an officer in the Pongos, he’s not too bad… 😉

Hello Simon.... I hope Maggie went for a swim..... very cooling. Relaxing video 👏👏👏🙏

Damper cooked Aussie style is usually done in a camp oven (Dutch 0ven) and the dough rise is very good with a browned crust on top. For added flavour I add some raisins or chopped dried apricots. The result is yummy. Great times you have. My mantra -- What makes you happy, DO THAT!

Good to see you both again, haven't seen Maggie in a while! Need to put steak on my shopping list now... :)

Simon, upon your recommendation, I ordered the Large Three-Arm Grill Anchor set from TJM Metalworks and the high quality and superb craftsmanship is astounding! It just arrived and I can't wait to use it! Thanks for the rec!

Glad Maggie got her share. She is such a good girl.

Exceptional, Orgasmic Video, my good Sir!!! Just got introduced to your channel by my younger brother in USA, after watching this very first vdo, I got sold and Subbed. BTW, here in Balochistan Province of my Beloved Pakistan (My Home Town), We also make Breads called *KAAK* on stones just like your Dampers. Meat cooking is exactly like yours except for the Spices. Us Baloch don't use too much of Spices like rest of the Subcontinent, except for the Younger Generation. Maybe one day you can come and explore/experience our way of life. One day, Maybe. Till that day, Live Long and Prosper well in life mate!!! Cheers!!! (Regards: Capt. R. SamZedd Baloch.)

For tea's you should use a spoon full or two but that'll make like 3 cups..... FYI wild garlic bread is definitely worth a go next time they're in season.....or just go grab a bag of mix-in's from the flour isle in the supermarket because that works a treat

I revisited this video because of beautiful Maggie ❤ she was certainly Simon's best companion!

You should've got some jam or jelly with tour Bannock bread

English is too fast 3X than american and 4X than English... speak neutral we will like and follow you!!! Anyway I did like :-)

Great vid.....just need an Aussie adjustment on the damper cooking.....camp stove with coals on the top would b the way to go. (said the Aussie)

as always 👍👍 I can imagine in the opening shots seeing you and Maggie and yelling out "hey Simon, wait up!"

Another nice meal dude, great to see you and maggie ;) peace

Simon just a little advice on cooking a traditional Aussie damper mate.Being a kid from the bush I started work at 14 as a billy boy and general rusabout for a gang of fencing contractors camped out in the bush. The billy tea had to brewed and dampers cooked by 10am sharp for smoko otherwise a sore arse would be felt. To cook dampers to produce a nice crust, they would be laid directly on a bed of ashes, just like you've got there and a layer of ashes were racked over to completely cover them. I usually did 6 to 8 at a time, depending how many blokes were going to have smoko (morning tea time, and a smoke). it usually took 10 to 12 minutes for them to cook. Take the dampers out the ashes, give them a good dusting over and they were serviced broken (not cut) into pieces with some Golden Syrup poured over and washed down with tea that only a billy over an open fire can produce. Billies were made from an empty Sunshine Powdered milk tin that held about 4 litres with a piece of fencing wire for a handle. There was no lid and the tea took on a smoked Eucalytus flavour. If we were in Narrow Leafed Ironbark country, I'd throw a couple of crushed up Ironbark leaves in the billy water a few minutes before it boiled. This gave the tea a really nice soothing Eucalyptus flavour. There were no Lemon Myrtle gum trees growing in our area. As soon as the billy started a rolling boil (not before), measure out loose tea leaves in a cupped hand (about two tablespoons full to 4 litres of water) chuck the tea leaves in the water and IMMEDIATELY, grab the billy by the handle and swing it in a circular motion 3 times overhead then stop and watch the tea leaves roll over in the billy. This steeped the tea ready to drink. So fresh hot dampers, Golden Syrup, freshly brewed billy tea, and a roll your own fag (no tailor made fags in the bush those days, as every bloke had his own tin of Log Cabin fine cut tabacco, and cigarette papers) meant there were a mob of happy blokes having smoko.Who could want more. If I stuffed up anything, it was a guaranteed number 8 (hob nailed boot size) in the arse. Smoko was a ritual. All gone now though after 55 years.

Really? Has my life come to this? Watching someone halfway round the world eating Steak!

Your dog has good food manners. The minute we sit down to eat a steak at our house our Corgi is like a vampire who hasn't eaten in 100 years - she's a shocker. I can't blame her though, the Wagyu and Angus steaks are bloody beautiful.
