In this video I am out in the woods to do a bit of campfire cooking in my cast iron dutch oven and it is seafood chowder on the menu. I picked a very wet day for this one, but luckily I had a tarp to keep me, the camera and the fire dry(ish).
I hope you enjoy the video,
Thanks for watching.

1 red chilli, chopped
2 potatoes, chopped
1 can creamed corn
1 stock cube/pot

2 tbs milk
Oil
2 smoked haddock fillets, chunked
Mussels, prawns, clams or whatever seafood you like
Salt and pepper
Coriander, chopped
Fry the onion gently to soften, then add the chilli and and cook for a further few minutes.
Add the potatoes, stock and water and bring to a gentle boil - simmer for about 10 minutes.

No matter what your videos are about, they're always a pleasure to watch. Thanks man!

@patrickwalsh4398 Год назад

Simon, I love your attitude! You are an example of positive energy that goes and enjoys yourself no matter what life throws at you. A beacon to everyone who just live in a virtual world. I wish I could subscribe again. Bravo!

@graceygrumble Год назад

Dozens of shifts in camera angle, in the rain, plus a ridiculous number of kilos carried into the woods, just to help us enjoy what you had to endure. Respect! I would never do this, even if I had a permission in a wood as lovely as that, but I get it. You are mad, but in the right way. Ha!

@simonablokeinthewoods Год назад

Haha - thank you! How I suffer for my art 😂💦

@tornado34 Год назад

I love your attitude to anything that comes your way. This time the rain, ok it’s only rain, but it would be so easy to complain or dial down the original plan. But you don’t, you just accept it and carry on. When you were last in Norway with Andy, you both went through some rough days n conditions. You not only lifted yourself but you were a rock to Andy. That’s true grit. I know like many of us, you’ve struggled with your mental health. What a strong person you must be to have dug so deep to turn your life around. It may never be fully cured, but accepting things for what they are, is definitely the way forward. Pat yourself on the back Simon. I love the escape watching your content. 🫡

@ewengillies9826 Год назад

I think Simon has a mortgage on that rain lately. Bushyboy Oz.

@patrickwalsh4398 Год назад

100% agree with everything you said!

@vikingbushcraft1911 Год назад

Well said! 👏

@andyrome316 Год назад

Quit with the mental health shit ffs...its like everyone is ill these days or something...we've got more than any previous generation could've dreamed of having and all we can do is moan on about mental health....I'm sick of reading about it...get a grip.

@stephenlaws1836 Год назад

Many people go camping , but not many have the ability to go with the flow & adjust to whatever life throws at you , while camping. A lot of people I know could never be that flexible, they'd just rant & rave & probably never do it again. It's all about the attitude & Simon's definitely got it right

@southerncooker6475 Год назад

Wow Simon, that looked delicious! Perfect for a rainy day! Great video!

@MountainMoonAdventures. Год назад

That looks so delicious Simon❤Oh my ,such comfort food on a chilly wet day,I love when you cook,I really do.They are simple meals but so full of flavor.! You are awesome my friend,thank you!😊😊😊Hammie

@skookumjack Год назад

Chowder is now going to go around and around in my head until I make some! Dang it Simon, you'll have to put a 'trigger warning' ⚠️ on these videos ! Ha!

@simonablokeinthewoods Год назад

😂😂 Sorry!

@pitchforkcustom Год назад

why do i like watching a guy chop wood and onions for the umpteenth time 😂😂 it’s calming i guess.

@lilstui3921 Год назад

It never fails to impress me plus motivates me too get out there not on this level .but we all have to start somwhere ! Cheers simon 👍

@SteveSeadog Год назад

That chowder looked really good - just the thing for a cold, rainy autumn day. I love your channel's mix of bushcraft, expeditions, kit reviews and cooking. Better cooking under a tarp than sleeping in a cardboard box. (Just watched Andy's latest.) 😄

@tracker5849 Год назад

He eats better in the bush than I do at home....love his cooking

@thomascraig7230 Год назад

I just watched Andy's video also. I thought the same thing.

@lethaleefox6017 Год назад

Andy was curious about a cardboard tent... the amount of rain he was testing it at was a bit much, it was probably designed for dryer climates like African refugee camps where Cook-It cookers were designed to be used... it was an interesting use of technology designed for homeless people in a different climate... the tents used in the Seattle area are rumored to be often stolen from sporting goods stores in the illegal homeless camps... not sure who is providing tents in the legal ones. Some places cardboard might work, but in many they wouldn't... Andy was sharing his curiosity on the topic. I try to learn from both of them. I also like to see the way solar cooking is being developed in Haiti to help save forests and reduce the use of charcoal that... a person on a Facebook solar cooking group is from/in Haiti and regularly shares his pictures, form people getting excited about his demonstrations... the helping people live better by a person who is applying a useful technology and is in the culture he is helping. Andy was curious, that was good.

@MHarenArt Год назад

Was just watching Andy in his cardboard tent when I remembered you'll be uploading too! You must be in the same rain Andy was in! ) WOW, a gorgeous Seafood Chowder! You've got me wanting some! But leftovers have to be eaten before I cook again! Thanks for sharing your nice recipe. Cheers Simon!

@tracyl1368 Год назад

Loved this one.... Rain, food, comfort, complete quite......so calming....... Love watching you as you help me so much with my MH ........ Thank you Simon!

@kazzicup Год назад

I like a man who cooks. It looks delicious: what you prepared. 🍤🍤🍤🍤🍤🍤🥘 I like your hat and your T-shirt.

@kingrafa3938 Год назад

Like before watching coz I know this is gonna be a another great video 👍

@broddireyrhansen1297 Год назад

Have you tried hot smoking fish, it's really simple and you only need these small trangia burners, I have used these metal boxes that look like shoeboxes with a metal grid inside. Just season it with a 50:50 salt:suger for one hour (dry salting), remove the salt-suger before it goes in, ready in 20 minutes. Does not matter if it's raining ☺️

@metalheadprime2 6 месяцев назад

Hi Simon, this soup looks amazing, i just want to please know what flavour stock pot did you use in the soup, i want to try and get this spot on...Thank you :)

@josephinegibbs3902 Год назад

I know it is a small detail, but I really enjoy how you change your "bloke in the woods" tagline to reflect the current adventure.

@perrybarnett7626 Год назад

I also enjoy camping in the rain, I will try cooking your chowder on my next camping trip, i miss Maggie, it's not the same with out her

@jamescoffey5225 Год назад

A delicious repast in the rainy wilds! I particularly appreciate and commend your "leave no trace" while camping ethics. Thanks and take care.

@chris_stacey Год назад

Looked very nice. I add chilies to everything - especially good on a cold, wet day! Cheers.

@anthonyshort4015 7 месяцев назад

Hi Simon I have been watching your videos for a year or more now i no alot have been old videos where is best place to get tarps and bivees from at descent prices thanks Tony 👍

@darrenattenborough9848 Год назад

Simon im an ex chef of over 25 years that looks delicious i used to make smoked haddock fishcakes :)

@andrewforrest8938 Год назад

That looks mouthwatering and delicious meal you cooked thanks Simon for a awesome video 👍

@robertogomez3698 Год назад

You're amazing Simon. You pick a rainy day, with minimal shelter gear to film a great dish; amazing. Keep up the great work and positive attitude. Rich Blessings from South Texas

@daveedwards6567 Год назад

Nice one 👍 Simon are you going to do more DIY video verry interesting thanks again

@Hortonscakes Год назад

The meal looks amazing! Luckily where I live, I can get cream corn in every grocery store. Cheers to you, thanks for the awesome video even tho you got rained on! 🍻🖖🤘

@krod1180 Год назад

@harolddownham8213 Год назад

It always adds a dimension cooking good food outside. That's important for me aswell. Great video as usual 👌

@paulseeman6481 Год назад

Nasty old weather Simon well done for persevering in it! The chowder looked lovely I’m sure some crusty bread would’ve finished it off well.

@deborahhoch2662 Год назад

It’s always great and soothing to watch Simon in the woods.

@lscblackwell9202 Год назад

Love that you don’t care that it is raining, that you trek out into the woods to cook a hearty and sumptuous chowder over an open fire, using firewood you processed on site, demonstrating that you are a good steward of the land and do it all with your usual cinematic flair! Thank you for your hard work and for sharing with us! I enjoyed it immensely! Take care and be safe out there! 👍🏻😊❤️

@Zombiesheriff Год назад

10/10 video 👍🏻 the rain is the background gives it’s so much texture 👍🏻 absolutely love it 😍 more vids definitely my fav you tuber

I love chowder but my Mrs in the woods doesn't, so never allowed on our menu. But having watched your vid, the girls now want to try it. So thanks as always Simon.

I've never tried seafood chowder mate, looked bloody tasty that Simon. Good idea about adding to it what you can such as some nice trout or maybe some sea bass if caught. I'm liking the small cool bag too mate. Thanks for the upload

@harrygiles1098 Год назад

You make 166K people smile with your videos, bless you, your family, and mags too x

@thebigkahuna2753 Год назад

Simon, it looks so good, that I'm going to try your recipe tomorrow night. I'm off to the supermarket to buy all the ingredients right now !

@chrisponsano4378 Год назад

A great day for comfort food in the woods and rain.

@golight1 Год назад

You English Men.... No garlic?... Loved it. We should be about the same age, nice to see someone with the same energy in the outdoors, even when it's a bit rough... Something worm and comforting in a rainy day outside like that is always great. And though i never had chowder, as soon as i get off my diet I'm goin to make me some... Meanwhile it's baked bread and some soup on tomorrow's campfire. .. thank you for this very nice video!

@sjwillis1137 Год назад

But wouldn't garlic been a flavour clash with the smoked haddock ?

@golight1 Год назад

@@sjwillis1137 ill have to try and see...

@emkav551 Год назад

I wasn't sure what to make for tea tonight, and now I do. Up to the potato stage now. I have a can of mussles and a can of clams waiting just for the right chowder recipe to appear and some smoked salmon from the freezer. This is the 1st time I have attempted to make it. Hope it comes out OK.

@emkav551 Год назад

Was delicious and really easy to make.

We don't eat enough fish when camping. This one will definitely be added to the o'l cook book. Cheers Simon.

@jayoutdoors4811 Год назад

Simon before I get started, watching your lovely video as always!! Trying to help funkyprepper on RU-vid. He is very different I get that! He does a weekly bulletin on Friday nights! On things are getting hard in England! Now I know as myself and Bush Craft and survivalist the whole idea of these videos are for these scenarios or am I wrong? If you can mention him in your next video I’ll be grateful many thanks Jay!! And by the way thank you for looking after Andy on your canoe trip that was mental and hard work! I love watching his videos! Personal thanks to you? you give me a lot of inspiration with making and doing things from nothing great work!!!

Thanks Jay

Dribbling like Pavlov's dogs here, Simon... Smoked haddock added to this week's shopping list. Cheers, mate!

@tracker5849 Год назад

3rd time watching this video. I keep coming back for your calming relaxing demeanor...your wonderful smile and your amazing camp cooking!!! You eat better in the forest than I do at home. Lol. That chowder looks amazingly comforting and good...especially on a cold wet day outdoors!! Stay safe sir...and KEEP COOKING.

@petergartner6328 Год назад

Nice one...but Simon...I take issue with...spuds are a waste of belly space 😮 really, Simon, really?😂

@andykjohnsonjohnson7622 Год назад

Nice video Simon 👍👍. That sea food chowder looked Absolutely Delicious 😋😋😋. We haven't seen Mrs Maggie out with you lately 🙁, hope she is doing okay 😐. As she would luvd to clean, out that dish 😀

@Dyshof Год назад

Wonderful episode. This kind of rain makes an outdoor camp most cozy when you have appropriate rain shelter. Actually I wonder why you pitched the tarp like this. Here, the rain never comes from straight above, so I prefer very low borders of the tarp..... ;-)

@brulee3746 4 дня назад

You work so neat 👌🏻 Clearing the ground for the fire (and afterwards). And preparing the food in a calm way 👍🏼

@outdoorpoormet9447 Год назад

I would have never thought of creamed corn as expensive. Here, it's as cheap as $0.58 a can (Tin), for the store brand. ( $0.98 for the brand name.)

@anneperry9014 Год назад

Can't stand mussels or clams either, but I Adore prawns. Lovely!!!!!😊

@Kenbur Год назад

WOW! this is the earliest I've ever posted - great vid, as always. enjoyed the rain, but not the food Simon. I could hear and imagine the rain as I've been rained on - however as much as I wanted to enjoy the food - I couldn't taste it!!!! - cause I've never made it your way 😞😞. but I will vicariously carry on and hope to someday hopefully taste the Simon, a bloke in the woods' cuisine.

Not a big fan of Chowda ? But that looks delicious, keep your videos coming Simon. Dave B. Thailand.

@tracker5849 Год назад

Cold n semi windy here..waiting on hurricane Nicole to see if she shows. Wish I would have seen your video before I went to grocery. YOU ARE A LEGEND and an inspiration to all of us. So much enjoy your peaceful videos!! Thank you for all you do. I Need to ask a question but afraid of the answer....hope it's not out of line. How is poor Maggie? I know she's very elderly for her breed. Haven't seen her in awhile...have I missed a bad news update or is she just home safe n warm resting?

@markcummings6856 Год назад

Wow, delicious. Love your attitude, Simon. Exemplary.

@andreaschapman9886 Год назад

Hi Simon, what a great blog, this trip really took me back to when I used to just take off for a few days usually the new forest area on my mates land or up to the Lake District around Windermere it was just great rain or shine or snow I loved every minute and watching your trip really made me reminisce so thanks for that, by the way seafood chowder is one of my favourite meals and I usually have it as a starter at my local pub.👍🏻

@matt88876 Год назад

Simon, I found HP Sauce and Coleman's mustard in my local grocery store in Tilton New Hampshire

@tomwhelan9872 Год назад

Hey Simon. Just trying to visualize you looking out the window into the pissing rain and going, nice day for a cookout. What is it they say about Mad dogs and Englishmen😁. Love your vids and that chowder looked amazing. Thanks fr Canada.

@mickybetts7957 Год назад

looks delicious matey! check out 'Bacorn' on food wishes, RU-vid. Highly recommend! ..bacon, corn n cream oh my! .. Also great to see some quick tarp setup in the rain! Been meaning to try that! your video came in very handy!

@chriscampbell7883 Год назад

Watched this vid Simon last night and decided to try it for my dinner tonight as never had it before. Absolutely awesome!!!! How did you eat it all as way too much for me. Just need to halve it so can fit in my 14cm billy can. Don't have a Dutch Oven nor allowed a campfire so reckon will try this next time camping using my stove. P.S. Will have the rest tomorrow for dinner as that good. Keep up the great vids.

Father's day day, in Sweden, is here and the t-shirt delivered. Unfortunately it seem to run a bit small. He is an L in everything in his closet, but this one was narrow over the shoulders in L. It's still okej but I wished I took a bigger size. 😊 Well, well...

I recognized the label on the can of "Stokely's" creamed corn. The Stokely Brothers plant was founded in 1898 here in East Tennessee, Newport Tennessee to be exact. They did have a factory in Indianapolis Indiana that began earlier than the one in Tennessee.Guess we take the availability for granted living here in East Tennessee.

@chucksmith5002 Год назад

The Chowder did look good I guess it was worth carrying the heavy Dutch Oven. Enjoyed it Simon

Hi Simon. Which folding saw and axe were you using in this video, just looking to invest in similar items. Videos are great BTW. Thank you.

Enjoyable as ever Simon. Have to say mate; I wish I had your knees! Notice you do a lot of kneeling both in this video and esp in your canoe vids. Congrats. I’d be hobbling around if I tried that with mine 😄

Cheers mate. Not bad a cook ey. I love to cook outside . Classic Irish stew by a lake hanging my billy pot this weekend. Looks like a chowder after that 😂. I think part of a frozen bag of some like seafood mix would also be alright and stay fresh till reach camp. Eat of the first night as you bring it it is thawing out

I do love smoked haddock in a seafood chowder. Even 'hard core' Bushwhackers could bring the ingredients out for the first night! I also favor Cilantro as the last-minute addition of a green herb.
