In this video, I seize a rare opportunity to head out to the woods with my son Tom. We find a nice quiet spot by the river and prepare a fire so that we can cook up a bit of lunch. Spit roast leg of lamb is on the menu, accompanied by a delicious wild mint sauce (ketchup for the teenager) and mint tea. Lush!
It was a good opportunity to use my new campfire spit roast set from Trevor at TJM Metalworks. An ingenious bit of adjustable kit that holds the meat perfectly for a juicy campfire roast. I have become a huge fan of Trevor’s hand forged gear, beautifully made by hand using materials that will last a lifetime of use in the hottest of campfires. Quality, locally made gear.
I hope you enjoy the video.
Thanks for watching!

Hailing you from across the pond in Waterloo, Ontario, Canada.(One of the colonies.)(lol!) Just have to say that I really enjoy your channel and its contents. There is such a wide variety of bush crafting channels now, but we all arrive upon our favourites, mine being yours, Andy's, and our own Ontario natives, Joe Robinet, and, of course, Shawn James and "My Self Reliance". So nice seeing your son, Tom, again with you. I have one child, also a son, Matthew, who is now 32, and is Atypical Autistic(medium/higher functioning), a wonderful boy(man).(lol!) He lives with me after trying to live in his own little bachelor apartment for 5 years, but with much difficulty. He actually moved back at the end of January, just in time to beat COVID. Wonderful having him back and cooking for him. He is on disability insurance, but still delivers grocery flyers 2 days each week, loves life and activities and has a wide circle of friends and support systems. It's nice setting him up for the long run/haul so his later years remain good. Haven't done any camping for years, and he really wasn't much that into it even as a boy. He loves his Playstation 4, public transit, and all the amenities of small city living, and amusement parks, swimming, bowling, Niagara Falls, everything materialistic.(lol!) And, as in one of your previous segments, I can relate to mental health issues, having dealt with personal problems most of my life, but dealing with them to the greater degree. I can understand why so many thousands find your videos comforting, reassuring, and so interesting. Thanks, Simon. You are a good "bloke".

@eventsotherthingswithchris9019
@eventsotherthingswithchris9019 3 года назад
Lamb is great except possibly the smell while cooking it indoors. It seems to have a cat pee kind of thing going as it cooks but you might be able to hide it with various herb rubs if you throw them on while cooking. WARNING- LAMB CAN BE MASSIVELY EXPENSIVE!! I live over here in the Western 1/2 of Massachusetts & most of the time, the local IGA ( grocery store) won't even sell lamb because they want WAY TOO MUCH & no one can afford it! Even some cubed lamb that looks like what you'd put in beef stew is pricey & not much comes in the package ( in a typical pack, there's about maybe 5 to 6 pieces & they're not uniform in size; they want close to 8.00$ or more for something like that!!!) Back in the 70's for some reason, lamb was mad cheap! You could get a whole leg for about 30.00 something $
