How I Started Fire to Fork 

Believe it or not the majority of people watch your channel because they like who you are as a person, want to support you and live part of their life through your experiences. Keep it human and the content raw and you will continue to power on. Thank you for all you do 👍 Miguel

Great insight and video mate.

This was probably one of your best videos. Congratulations on becoming a Dad. It is a great, but tough job. I will tell you like I tell all new Dads, “Don’t blink time goes by all to fast, enjoy your child and always Be Happy!”

Some people seem to be perfectly suited to be in front of a camera. They have something that others don't have, not just a single characteristic but a combination of factors that just make them pop in front of a lens. You have it, Alex (Intents) has it, Michael Sanders (Seek Adventure) has it in spades and Gavin and his lovely partner Summer (Foreman and Wilms Adventures) have it. I remember this channel when you had just 1 video and 3000+ subscribers all just waiting for you to find the thing you are really suited to do. A big thumbs up to Ronny for pointing you in the right direction. Two of the RU-vidrs I mentioned above have walked away from the platform so it obviously isn't all fun and freebies all the time which is the way it tends to appear to viewers. I am lucky in a way because I don't do this for a living but if you do, the stress has to be a bit intense at times.

I’m binge watching 2 years after this episode. Over 100k subs now and counting because of the honesty and entertainment! The improvisation when an ingredient is forgotten, the willingness to admit mistakes on camera and take the piss out of yourself is not what the “influencer” crowd would usually do… The colabs have added to the channel too. The pisstaking, the laughter, the general entertainment are sometimes hilarious, but not essential in every video. I hope the channel grows for a long time to come!

You're just an all-round good bloke, that's why you're so popular. Keep up the great work mate, love your style.

Just speaking for myself boss - I watch your videos when I need the escape. I grew up camping/fishing/grilling in the "bush" or what we called the woods in AZ, USA and I miss that so much. I come home from my corporate job, crack a "tin" and pull up your videos to take me somewhere special from my childhood. The lifestyle is the motif, the recipes are just bonus. Your channel is unique because of the gear, the fire, the elements. Keep doing what's fun for all of us. That's why people watch. You could throw a cast iron on a flame and just cook one fried egg and I'd still watch. Cheers.

It is nice to see a good person and content succeed.

Your rawness is why I love watching your shows

I’m done camping, I’m done cooking at a campsite. Been there, done that for decades as an officer in the special forces of the Swedish Air Force. If Itchy Boots can travel the world on a motorcycle I can do the same with my small family of three in a 2022 Jimny. - But yet I learn from you and the lesson thought is your contagious attitude. I love it!

Harry you are a bloody legend mate ! I know this is an older vid but I only just stumbled across it. I Don’t 4wD , but I grew up on a farm where camping and cooking out were always the best times for us. Your genuinely laid back attitude towards all of this is why people tune in and you can tell you’re not a sellout so no need to justify it. I watch your vids late at night just to wind down sometimes, they are so good ! Keep it up. Cheers Matt

Let's put it this way- I've never made the effort to comment, but doing it to encourage you. I came to your channel after Ronnie's episode of Modified with you. I just figured you two got on well. Your humour is great, the fact you are honest about your endorsements too. These are the things I'd love to do too, camp, cook and offroad ( just not there yet), but continue to keep the content real, as you do mate!

Cooking and wonderful food aside, it's your authenticity and humility that shines through and will ensure you continue to grow and be successful Harry. Goodluck with your journey and congratulations on becoming a dad.

I always love watching videos about other RU-vidrs talking about RU-vid and their journey.... Its comforting in a way that everyone doing this and trying to make it work has the same struggles but also the same highs. Its been awesome seeing this channel evolve mate! See you in Adelaide!

You’re cooking is great mate but it’s you’re personality and presenting that keeps me watching your videos. Keep them coming.

Welcome to the dad club. A huge milestone, enjoy these moments, they're fleeting and nothing can replace it.

be who you are...you era doing fantastic !!! thankyou !!!

We really don't care about the brand deals and all that. The diffre is that you don't sell out. The radio skit you just did brings this perfectly to us viewers... u see the appeal in the product and pitching that to us in the "worst" way possible just makes it even better❤

You have a fantastic gift for food and RU-vid, tell the anxiety to back off.

Just keep doing what you're doing 👍👌

Welcome to fatherhood Harry. It’s awesome. Shout out from the most locked down city in the world…..

Harry, I hope you read this. I'll always watch your videos mate I don't really care what you cook or anything. I mainly watch your videos for the adventure you have I would prefer to see a few videos when you pack the gear talk to the audience about the trip and the plan show the trip and arrival at camp and leaving

Mate just wanted to drop a comment to say thanks. Ive been camping since I was a young fella with my mum, dad and brother eating the standard camping food, now I have two boys of my own and I love to cook different stuff inspired by you. I got your book for fathers day and absolutely love it. Thanks again and enjoy the time with your new son. PS my 4 year old son watches with me and says “that (insert items here) is just like yours dad!“ lol 😉

Hi Harry congratulations on becoming a dad and how far your channel has come. I have watched all of your videos from the beginning and I have purchased you book, because you put out great content and awesome dishes (witch I have cooked). If you get an opportunity bring back some Fire to talk

The Man, Myth, Legend ! Keep up the good strugle, you will win the battle !

Thanks Harry, puts things into perspective and reality still exists. Being a dad is a privilege. Congratulations to you and yours.

I don't know about everyone else but what's drawn me to this chanel over all the others is who you are in combination with themes I enjoy. You can't stuff up how you're going unless you lose who you are bud.

Great vid Harry...explains alot what we don't realise

Forget all that cooking stuff…😄….Congratulations on the new addition to the family! Exciting times for both of you. Thanks for the insight.

I’m loving your videos Harry. You don’t have to worry about a ‘bad video’. Your style is inviting and I feel you are talking directly to me, not on a generic shared platform. In short, your videos are engaging and informative. Please don’t change anything and keep up the great work.

Love your content here in the uk Harry! We have nothing to really explore like you guys do. Keep the videos coming and congratulations on your little boy

Dude, what a episode. I love the fact you took the time to talk about everything. You are a genuine person and always have time for people, even my messages on Instagram haha. Keeping it true, and keeping it you is what makes people come back episode after episode. You even made me change my cooking on trips from woolies chicken in a wrap to actually make an effort.

You're a good egg, Harry. Thats why we're all here.

Ya know Harry I didn’t know if I liked the way you come across in previous vids but for you to sit down and “ bare your soul “ so to speak I mean your growing on me To sit and be honest and sincere in front of your audience is ballsy and brave Well done and I look forward to more of this kind of presentation 👍

Great video, Harry. Loved hearing you tell the story of Fire to Fork. Keep doing what you love.

Love your content buddy. Well done. I'm an Aussie too. People love your stuff all over the world. Go you!!!

I’ve never commented on any platform, you have inspired me to. Mate ,you gotta back yourself. COVID Mental Health is a real thing. You make it easier. Congrats on your Bubba. There is nothing better than filling your house full of people that are going to love you Thanks for your effort. Cheers Marty

Great video Harry. You are doing a great job. Your openness and humility is refreshing.

That looks bloody amazing and certainly better than the swankiest of any pub, or restaurant 👌👌

I have a copy of your book. My wife is an ex-chef, and therefore we have so many recipe books in the house. Yet, your recipe book is the one I reach for, even when cooking at home!

A great episode Harry! Informative, raw and honest!

Always love seeing Fred at the end of the couch by the fire. Our German Shephard who loved her camping just passed away unfortunately.

Second time watching this video, and it bought up a question. I notice a few presenters I have been following are going over to full time. This does take courage and a commitment from you guys, which we, the audience, appreciate. Also sad to see guys like Michael take a break. Question is, how many subscribers do you feel are needed to be comfortable financially? Some of my best cooking, I have learned from these videos.....

Keep doing exactly what your doing

Love your unpretentious honesty!

And to close, you are doing an epic job!!

If you are doing what you love and putting that love into your product then people can sense it. Theres a genuineness that comes through and makes it great. Much appreciation from the other side of the world.

Keep true to yourself mate. We all love your content regardless . I wish you and your family the best. Keep it up 👍

Greetings from Los Angeles... this is so inspiring! I'm glad I found your channel

For me I actually gravited towards your channel not particularly because it was about food and camping, it was because of your personality shown on camera and the passion you show for food and camping. Combine that with honestly and transparency and I think you have something here quite different to a lot of other channels. Keep up the good work!

So much of what you said hit home as I follow in your footsteps. Cheers mate.

My introduction to you was you and ronny drunk as skunks cooking crazy stuff was hilarious 👍🏻

Can confirm - the video didn't suck. I really like what you are up to, but perhaps more importantly you are a great personality. Just remember that when the anxiety kicks in. First thing to go out the window under stress is creativity. Just be yourself! Cheers

Good things happen to good people , all the best for the future mate .

Awesome video Harry, been watching all your videos since ages ago from over the ditch in NZ. As a person who tries as much as possible to cook on flame at home you have inspired me to do the same when camping, instead of relying on gas. Congrats on becoming a Dad!

Love this video mate. As a budding content creator myself I feel a lot the same as you (For anyone wondering I am currently moving my old content to this new channel). Also as someone that has been self employed in the past it is a very uncomfortable thought when it comes to going back & working for someone else. I started my channel simply because I enjoy filming and taking photos of my trips and my DIY stuff but most of all I just love getting out and seeing our country. I'm a long way off being monetized but hopefully one day I will be able to do that and live from the content, Patreon, Merchandise etc. I am worried it will ruin the joy I get from getting out but at the same time as mentioned the filming and bringing people this sort of stuff is something I do also enjoy. Trips away without filming is something that will still be needed too.

Just relax mate, and keep on doing what you doing, and enjoy it while you do it!!! When you enjoy your job, the rest don't matter. Greetings from South Africa.

Fire, Beer, great food and a smart dude showing us how to do it, great channel, keep it going fella.

This is one of your best Videos mate. Well done. It's straight up. Congratulations on the birth of your 👶. Can not wait for the next video. I would like to see the travel to and from camp sites well as heaps of 🍳👨‍🍳. Love ya work mate.

I thought you were about to break up with us like Alex did. You scared me. Great vid as usual, I'm glad you enjoy making them because people like me often have to live vicariously through our favorite RU-vidrs and there would be a hollow spot in my week if you threw in the towel.

Thanks Harry. Your style , presentation and just who you are is why we watch. Don't worry about failures, there will be none.

Congratulations on the newborn! What an episode! The brutal honesty really hit home. Well done, Harry.

Dude this was one of your best videos. Congratulations becoming parents! Your story is inspiring. Stay true to what you are doing, because it is NICHE and PROFESSIONAL.

You're doing everything right mate. Keep up the good work and stay true to yourself. It's all about the authenticity. And you got it.

Awsome Harry love your work congratulations on the new arrival

Awesome video as usual but a great guarded insight to what makes you tick and why you tick so well, honest and not commercially compromised like Ronny and the other down to earth channels. Bushcraft would be a great addition. Enjoy fatherhood 🤣🤣

Love the honesty and vulnerability in this. Another great episode ( probably my favourite so far ). Congratulations to you and your wife on becoming parents. 👍

You're going bloody well mate and have come a long way, good to hear about how it started and your journey... btw your old side steps look good on my car cheers haha

Sub'd. Keep that level of honesty and you'll do fantastic!

Mate I have followed you for a long time love your content you haven’t changed an just got your cook book the other day for Father’s Day best present 🎁 ever you just keep on being you an you will go along way

First time viewer here. Will be watching more. I love to marinate steaks in a 50/50 mixture of Nandos hot sauce and tomato sauce. Let it marinate overnight. Awesome!

Mate your the best at this , keep up the good work.

Congratulation on your baby boy. Hope all of you are doing good. This was a very honest and heartfelt video. I have never commented before but you have never come off as being "own" by any brand. .

Well Done Harry. Great points and a great story. I’m sure the extra kilos are well worth the exercise 😆😆 Keep up the great work and you will crushing 100k very soon. Congrats on the family to you and Sam and have a great weekend 👍

I was about to say something similar to migaloo. I started watching your videos cos you had a delica. But now I watch cos you are genuine. thanks mate. 😎

Thanks for your insight into how you got to where you are today have to say your lock down videos was what keeped me going while in lock down here in qld

Great story! Thank you!

What a lovely honest explanation on how to make camping, cooking and YT work! You are blessed with an ability that few have.

Top video Harry, was a pleasure meeting you at the Drifta DFCE at Camp Cobark couple of years back and long time follower mate. Good luck, longevity and happiness with the channel and life in general mate, you deserve much happiness. Cheers mate 😉👍🇦🇺

Yeah mate... we totally believe you, wife and bub. Thx for the awesome content and the inspiration and motivation to cook at home lol. Love ur guys channel!

I saw your format you did of the voice over and think it would apply perfect for bush crafty cook ups with minimal gear and the perk is you can just get lost in building something cool then worry about talking later on so it keeps its joy while maintaining the channel could even make it a series of just bush craft

Love you videos has EVERYTHING I like from 4X4 camping and of course cooking with great ideas. Your greatest quality is your ability to engage with your audience seriously sometimes I feel like I'm sitting on the other side of the fire with you

love your work mate one one the best cooking channels ive seen

The backyard cooking with Sam making fun of you are some of my favorites. Stick to what works and makes you happy.

Mate you're videos change peoples outlook and give them the confidence to try something they never normally would. I did my first lamb rack on the fire tonight using your book and video's as a guide. Whilst it wasn't perfect, I was happy, the wife was stoked ( she had the night off cooking for the first time in aaages) and we had a great meal together, which seeing as I'm in Vic and still locked down provided a great night for us, screaming baby and toddler aside. Keep on doing what your doing and well done sticking to your roots.

Keep at it brother. I’ve run my own very successful business for 10 years and still am anxious about it most weeks. Perhaps, in some way, it helps to keep you focused, not relaxing too much.

adding this to the next camping menu!

What beautiful and candid video and a great insight 👍

Very enjoyable video,thanks for your time

Love it !!

Well done, another terrific video, love the honesty, very rare these days. I watch you because I saw you on Ronnies channel. I bought an Oz Braai because of you, yet to arrive. I have been cooking in the bush, camping for 42 years and love it just like you. Keep up the great work

Thanks for getting me on to the red roads fire pit :) was getting a good workout until we (in NSW) went into lockdown. And for the pulled pork recipe (which has been adapted well to locked down apartment living).

Really enjoy your content mate. You keep it real and genuine and continue to share at a personal level which is not only very humanising but quite endearing in the way you deliver yourself. Keep going with what you're doing, looking forward to seeing your channel grow and develop.

Another classic 😎 doing a great job Harry 👍 love your honesty & style, but most of all thanks for inspiring me to get back to cooking on fire 🔥🍻 cheers

Thank you for all of your videos. Great content and interesting stuff. You will be awesome father.

Harry, vids like this make you more real to me. Don't apologise for making them. You won't lose subs, you might get more, like me. I've been lurking for a bit because you cook the way I love to cook, with fire. I was getting ready to head off overlanding when the latest Melbourne lockdown happened. While th OKA has gas stoves, I much prefer cooking on the fire. I have a wood fired pizza oven and a charcoal bbq that I use at home. Your videos and recipes are inspirational mate Thank you. And congrats on the bub.

What a bloody great video!!!

Bud i cam across you binging u tube.Love what u do and make awesome meals out camping. I love to cook so ill find your book and then properly hv a crack at your 💝

There are so many people who have a cast of thousands help them make content the fact you do your segments on your own warts and all makes it believable and congrats on the new son.

Thanks for the journey Harry. You do a great job in helping others to cook with fire, easy to follow recipes, and I love the B Roll. Yor right it's about the taste, but making it look good, makes people want to try it. For me, you don't need to change a thing. There's plenty of trip videos out there. You've found your niche and you excel at it. As the old saying goes. "if you love what you're doing it's not really work". Cheers Mark....
