Solo Camp Cooking - [ Campfire Cooking In The Bush ] 

Solo camping is the best way to solve the worlds problems

It's guys like Tim that make me proud to be an Aussie. Down to earth, all round top bloke who loves his country. Awesome! 👍

Solo vids make us feel like we’re there

Tim, thats exactly how I do it. People say to me but what do you do out there? My answer is I cook, have a few beers, walk, listen and just sit and take in the scenery. Love you channel mate.

Thats great about your tool from work. What a great way to have and keep great memories.

Ah the memories Tim 21 weeks of lockdown in Melb your videos keep us motivated to get back into the Bush simple but beautiful food tim can’t replicate it at home nothing tastes like food cooked on the fire in the Bush Can’t wait well done mate

What a top bloke... 👍👍👍

Loving this format Tim, the extended camping videos with the sounds of the bush are exactly what us locked away Melbournians need to get us through mate. Cheers!

Beautiful Tim life is better when it’s simple.

Ma-a-a-te.. I could NOT go through this video without chuckling along with you. What a ripper..!!!

Honestly Tim good work on all your videos mate, so nice to see your still sticking to your guns with a simple and basic camping set up mate and watching your channel to me personally represents why most aussies got into camping a long time ago, all the other junk floating around online in my opinion is all the same with just over the top modified cars and accessories and just flat out plugging sponsors! Keep it mate mate, sooo refreshing to watch 👍

I just recently retired from the Army and found your channel. I have always been lowsy at making dampa, and you make it look easy. I am looking forward to seeing more of your adventures mate.

Makes me miss the Aussie bush, bit short of bush camps in the U.K. but great tips and never to old to learn something new thanks

There is something very calming about these videos

I´m sure he enjoyed every gram of food there, great video

Hi Tim, just found your channel and loved the video. All the way from the UK, Cheers !

Counting down the days until we are allowed out of Melbourne again and can just go unwind out in the bush like this. Love the videos mate, keep it up!

We should all get away from our daily lives for a bit like this guru . Awesome.

Absolute Australian ambassador is our Tim.... Lee South Africa

Everything about this video was just outstanding! Thank you for sharing. Liked and sub’d. What a cool guy.

Thank you mate this vid is the best I have seen in awhile 👍

Good camp, good fun. Nice old tea pot.

That guy just knows how to appreciate life. Ya love to see it!

Tim mate all this brings back so much memory from 60 years ago when I first started work at age 14 for 6 guineas a month as a billy boy and general camp raus-a-about for fencing contractors under the tutorage of old bill. This was ex-army tent camping in the range country that produced the best narrow leafed Iron Bark fence posts and the best cooking fires. Old Bill was a grumpy old bugger and if he saw me doing what you did making the tea Tim I'd get a No9 where the sun doesn't shine. First thing immediately the billy was rolling boiled I'd have to chuck in the tea leaves, if I waited, then I'd get the boot, then take it off the fire while it was still rolling boiled and swing it 3 times clockwise. Heaven forbid if he caught me swinging it anti clock wise like you did Tim or 4 times even which he reckoned made the tea too strong. He wouldn't let me use the cast iron camp ovens until I learnt how to cook dampers in the ashes. Only then did I graduate to cast camp ovens the same as yours. No strawberry fly bog (as jam was known) in those days, it was cockie's joy - Golden Syrup. If ants ever got into the tin of Golden Syrup, all hell would break loose. Every 2nd day the boss cockie would drop off a leg of lamb that old Bill would turn into a really tasty stew. Of course it was my job to peel the vegies and cut up the meat after receiving old Bill's "education". Funny thing was even though old Bill saw considerable action during WWII first in North Africa then Kokoda where he coped a Japanese bullet through his left ear lob. He always reckoned the Japs couldn't shoot straight as the bastard who shot him joined his ancestors. However old bill never learnt to tell the time. He told the time around the camp by the calls of the birds. He reckoned the birds always knew when it was tucker time and changed their calls to suit. Days never to return, but god was life simple. I know I miss it!! Thanks for doing this video Tim much appreciated mate.👍👍👍💯

Oh look at that. Absolutely beautiful. Absolutely magnificent. Fantastic.

Your living the life mate,that's why we live in the best country in the world,

Gorgeous location!

Tim I love your videos!!

Watching you Tim is the next best thing to being there!

solo camping you just cant beat it

enjoyed thanks for sharing now i'm hungry

Just came across your vids yesterday and have watched over 5 now. Really enjoying your channel mate. So refreshing no bs no gimmicks just a good honest bloke. Keep it up 👍🏻

Maybe we need more blacksmiths to make useful and good looking things post Covid-19. More blacksmiths fewer baristas!

gday mate your brekkie cooks bring back memories of daily morning tea with my dad on many demo jobs he had all over Sydney an open fire in the front yards using bits of Oregon and hardwood from the scrap pile at 7.30 in morning a couple bricks and corrogated tin or an old oven grill to sit the Billy and pan on and a scraper as an egg flip , the old man cooked up brekkie for the demo team and the Billy bowl was always a treat to watch , I've seen close calls from blokes had never done it before. lol thanks for the memory

Thank u that was awesome to watch , enjoyed ❤

Awesome stuff keep it up

Oh man. Damper around a stick with butter and jam down the centre. That brings back the memories.

Absolutely love your videos! Thanks a lot!

I’ve been enjoying your videos Tim. You’ve given me some great inspiration on the camp oven cooking. Looks like a peaceful spot you had!

Once, just once I’d like to hear Tim say ‘How’s the serenity”......lol

Love my solo camping trips. Nothing beats the good old bush tele. Thanks for the great video. 👍🍺🇦🇺

Great trip. Thx!

Another great video. Love the nat sounds of the bush & river! Keep up the good work. Thank you 😊

Batesy that was serene body went into complete relaxation mode,job well done thanks

Great stuff. I learned a few things too. Thanks for taking the time and posting.

Great vid, such a nice looking area, Some things just can't be thrown out, found my 40 year old metho burner and metho cooker in my storage shed last week they are again in the camping box waiting for me to go full time touring shortly,

That famous Aussie saying Tim Can ya feel the serenity, love it mate

Thanks for sharing your adventures mate, bloody great work.

Beautiful video really relaxing to watch thanks mate! 👍

Beautiful camp spot Mate! You're passion for the outdoors shines through the videos you post. Thankyou 👍

Keep up the great work people are enjoying your work 👍🏻

Awesomeness! Thanks for sharing.

Fabulous enjoyable video. Can almost smell the campfire and feel its warmth and smell the simple tasty cooking….First class use of resources and no unnecessary fancy frills…

Another beautifully peaceful video. Just loved it. Camping like this is such a treat for those that love process. 👍🏼

Superb video Tim, inspiring and relaxing.

Thanks for sharing love camping solo

I’m with ya. Solo camping is the best very empowering being in the bush alone at night. Even go for a walk naked in the dark with nothing but a head torch. Turn the torch off, and stand in the pitch black alone. Take a deep breath of air and slowly let any fears in your mind come to rest. When you no longer feel vulnerable and at ease, that’s when one feels confident and at one with Aussie bush.

Thank you I enjoyed that

So love the looks of your area I'm from the state's love seeing pictures of yauls outback so wish I could visit and tour but health and finances want all that so I l just have to deal with videos and pictures for folks like you love cooking outside and try to encorperate others styles Ingo mine have fun and be safe

I love camping with my dog's bye my self it's the best

Another cracking video Batesy, awesome spot & amazing food.

What a great video I in joyed that I got so hungry as soon as you were over I went straight for the backend. Great camera work can’t wait for the next one . Thanks for taking me with you 🙏🏻

Just love watching you Tim in the high country I miss it so much but I’m still out west of longreach caretaking and have some breathtaking sun sets and sun rises, I’d like to catch up with you one day and have a chat and a beer cheers Amos 👍🍻🇦🇺

my first visit to your camp..very much enjoyed..subscribed!!

Bloody magnificent. Keep it up!!

Loving your content Tim. You pick some great locations.

Very envious Tim. I'm looking forward to when we can get out of lockdown here in Melbourne and head out to the bush. Until then, I'll live vicariously through your videos. Keep up the great work mate.

Another great video Tim I am jealous a beautiful spot and some great camp fire cooking ,you are truly living the dream.

You want to try that kinda cooking in the ŵilds of British Columbia up here in Canada. Some big furry bugger is gonna come from miles away to take it from yà.... Great film, Tim. Thanks, mate

Thanks for sharing Tim. Something about these vidoes seem to be very therapeutic. Loving the simple life.

The quality of these videos are getting better and better. Love the no fuss approach to camping: this is my kinda style. Well done. Just well done.

I love being remote and doing the camp out thing with the bare necessities. Just got back into deer hunting again after a 30 year layoff. Your video takes me back to the mid 70's hunting with my father. Our hunting camp was literally where the road ended. 25 miles from paved roads and in a section prohibited to non 4 wheel drive vehicles. Motor bikes were ok but the 3 wheelers and quads didn't exist in those days so it was horses or 4 wheel drive. Believe it or not it was in northern California at a place called Paynes creek. Love your video sir. Your having way to much fun in the bush. Blessings to you

On ya tim. Great food, cold beer, in front of the bush television... magnificent mate👍

I love it Tim, wish I could do that, fingers crossed for Sunday.

Just beautiful Country, and camping in its simplest form. Thanx for inviting us again Timbo

Fantastic Tim 👍🍻🇦🇺

Very, very nice Batesy. That damper looked delicious. Thanks for helping us with our camping fix, this bloody lockdown can’t end quickly enough.

wow what an appreciation for every sight, smell, and taste in the bush. fantastic video, just a joy to watch!

So utterly relaxing. A wonderful video to soothe the mind during these strange times.

You are a champion camper and - well, mmm swinger. Much enjoyed this video Tim. Best!

another great vid Tim,,, love the recycled brickies trowel at 14;15,,, magnificent !!!!!

Awesome spot 👍👍lov the peace and tranquillity

Good stuff as always Tim. Cheers Steve

Another great video, thanks Tim! I do like your videos a lot because in your videos you are telling us how you do this and how you do that, and you explain the good and bad of doing such 4wding and camping activities. Vast majority of the other videos are all about what they have on their cars: I've got this and I've got this and I've also got this! As if we couldn't go 4wding and camping and enjoying this beautiful country unless we own the very latest 4wd with every single aftermarket accessory on it. Good on ya Tim for showing us how things should be done!

This is what I picture when I think of going off-road a bit to camp. I enjoy the 4wding etc but its getting to relax and have a feed and a tin is what it’s about. Great vid Tim. Cheers for it. JG

Lovely serene life out solo camping. Nothing like bacon and eggs with a steaming, strong cup of Joe in the cold fresh mornings to get you warm from the insides. Love it mate.

i love your solo camps tim im a brickie to glad to see a trowel have more uses than the obvious and your damper looked awesome

Cracker video Tim! 👍🏼 Ripper spot, ripper weather and cracking campfire meals! That’s living. Enjoy mate! 👌🏼🍻 So keen to get back out there once restrictions ease 🤞🏼

These vids are a credit to you Tim , really enjoyed this one mate . Keep them coming and can’t wait til we can get back up the bush .

Never solo camped before, but damn you make it look enticing Tim! Love the vid, so raw and natural. That damper looked 👌🏻

You live like a king out bush. Cheers mate. I hope to be able to do some of the same in the south west.

Great video Tim , great ideas on the dinners too mate , also smart to have your PLB with you 👍

Onya batesy another great vid mate. Keep them coming.

Enjoyed watching thanks

Love your content mate. Honestly, some of the best bush cooking on RU-vid and some fantastic setup tips. Hope you don’t mind but the miso and I started a drinking game while we watch u cooking. One sip for “have a go at that” two for “how good is that” and 3 for “let’s get into it”. Love it mate, keep it up!
