For anyone looking to use what they've got, you jsut need a pot with lid (not aluminum so it doesnt melt) a cheap foil tray/bowl and something to get it off the bottom of the pot. I love the way Mark Young shows - two dog bowls and paper clips to hold them together. Can be used as pots as well.
Simon, what a fantastic supportive dad and son relationship. Tom is doing brilliant and great you have these cooking moments together. I totally get it - we're on the same journey as you. All the very best !!
Simon, great to see you and Tom in the woods again!!! Simon just make the oven, you have the skills and the skills will pay the bills if you make and sell them, like your folding saw and your canoe trailer!!! Another great video...
I have been a bit inspired by them and have some stainless steel that I might be able to press into use - hmmmmm - a bit of shed time coming up I think!
@@simonablokeinthewoods Maybe a 2 in 1 option that has oven with detachable wood stove/alcohol burner under? Or purpose build an oven for use with your various existing stoves in your collection like the Honey Stove, or Firebox which can also use a Trangia style alcohol burner.
Tom, U hang on and stay with ur dad get all the camping skill u can. Let me tell u, ur dad, a PRO. He's good, U got the best man for u. Simon a bloke in the woods teach him well. THANKS SIMON KEEP THEM COMING!!!
Simon, It is always wonderful to see the two of you together and I hope you are going to do a repairing the canoe video as it would be great to watch. Thanks as always.
So nice to see Tom again. He's grown into a very handsome young man and still willing to go out into the forest with the old man! LOL! Thanks again for an entertaining and informative video! Cheers Simon and Tom!
The great thing is, other than doing things with your son, is that when in a couple of years if he gives up on "all that crap", he will still remember it if necessary! I "lost" my son for nearly twenty years but he is back now!
He's alive! Lol. Missed your vids..never thought to bake in the woods. Where I live we have to get 20 or so miles into the wilderness to get away from people..so weight is always..freeze dried! Great to see Tom involved...my boys are scattered so get togethers are rare and my age has slowed my "20 milers" a lot . Cheers!
@@simonablokeinthewoods will have to "explore" that idea! Right now we are in "klondike mode"! Aspens been here n gone. Snow here till next summer...remember what I usually say Simon...."may your feet be sure on the trail, your campfire warm at night and your trail tales be true".
I learnt about Dutch ovens from Kent Rollins in the US, it is amazing the things you can make in a Dutch oven with a bit of practice and know how. Roasting pork shoulder with crispy cracking was a particular fav of mine.
Amazing video those scones look delicious Simon they will go nice with cream jam you and Tom enjoy you're nice delicious scones you both deserve them take care.
i love how you left the burned ones in the final edit. Adam Savage says the problem with UA-cam is that people often edit out things that don't go as planned - making it seem like tasks are easier than they usually are. Well done! Thank you!!!
Very interesting. Good to have to have a scone while camping. I really like the reflector oven - what a great idea. Fun to have you son cooking with you. Thanks for sharing.
@@northwestolympics3001 good to know. I haven't really looked at dutch ovens since I got an enameled one as a gift and camping wise do most of my cooking in a wok.
These videos always manage to calm me down after a stressful week. Thank you for re-invigorating me to get back out into the woods Simon. Great video. Keep it up!
Oh boy now that is a hand full to watch mate (all the food at once), good job Tom was with you on this one. Just the one batch slightly burnt, not bad at all pal. I'd love a Dutch oven but in the mean time while saving I'll pick up the 14" Billy I reckon mate. Thanks for this week's upload Simon, speak yo you soon pal 👍
Happened upon this channel after watching hiking and camping videos and I’m amazed. Didn’t know there was so much to do with Tarps, never heard of a swag! I’m loving all the chopping fire building. That’s one thing me and my sons can do is make a fire with no matches. Done that many a time on the beach. I’m going to set up a wood store and fire pit area in the garden. And going to get myself and my sons out there this winter learning all this stuff. The videos are amazing. Wish I’d found these sooner. Thanks for all the great entertainment and teaching. Love from The Isle of Wight 😀
Great job on comparing the different stoves. Awesome that Tom could make an appearance with you - it's always great to see father & son spending time together - especially during the teenage years :-)
It was wonderful to see the love and respect shown to you by your son, I really enjoyed this, Simon. My husband liked the look of the burnt ones; he charcoals everything. I love scones full stop. And cake and pudding :)
Lovely. Nice to see you both sharing some time out and about and baking in the woods. I need to have a crack at using my Zebra Billy for a bit of baking.
I always enjoy when you have Tom on your videos. It looks like he enjoys getting out into the woods with you even if it's just to the back garden to cook a lasagna. Doing those kinds of things as a father/son team is the best kind of time spent. It makes me happy that you two are doing that before Tom is done with school and decides to strike out on his own. I didn't get to have that many trips/outings with my father growing up due to his work schedule but I cherish every single one of them. I'm sure you and Tom will/do too. If you want I can pick up one of these Bemco ovens and post it over to you from here in the states if it's something you think you'll get some use out of. -Shane
Thanks Shane - definitely have to grab these opportunities while I can before he loses interest! Thank you, very kind of you to offer to send one over - the shipping is a killer! I think I’m going to have a go at making one. 👍👍
The perfect video for my first episode back from our PEI vacation where I (with help from the nephews wife!) baked my first loaf of bread in my dutch oven! Turned out really well but pushed the limits of the amount of dough for my sized oven! Great to see Tom out with you and thanks for another great video!
Love yer channel. Always enjoy watching you interact with yer son. It's hard to develop a relationship like that with anyone, let alone yer own children. Real proud of you sir.
What an absolutely great video, time in the woods with family, having fun. Always a great day. I thought he would never go again with u after u made him carry the Dutch oven last time, lol 😆
Unlike Simon I'm no campfire cooking guru but I learnt a tip a while back. Two metal dog bowls fastened together on the lip with bulldog clips also work as an oven. Simon is my go to 1st port of call for bushcraft tips. His open canoeing exploits are also informative if intending to canoe in those respective waters.
Great video! Dutch oven is definitely the most controlled method - as the cast iron gives great, even heat distribution. It's always great to see fathers and sons enjoying the woods together. My eldest is 5 and loves coming to the woods with me for a hot chocolate and a mooch around.
Great to see Tom out on the trail with you mate I must say that I do miss seeing Maggie though, nice bit of baking out there some skills that come in very handy!!!
Great video Simon and Tom. Good to see father and son enjoying time together. I have two boys, one is miles away at uni and one is to interested in the X box!
You, Andy and a couple of others make for really good viewing on a Wednesday, way way better than anything on TV, I just wanted to say that.
Agree 💯%
Yup 💯
Absolutely agree.
SO TRUE!!!!!
Hear hear!
Lads done you proud Simon. How lovely to see a young lad out with his Dad. Well done
The perfectly synchronized ‘Mmmmmmmm’s on tasting the first scone, ace!
I love it! Also, great to see that Tom has inherited the classic "head nod" when tasting good food!

It was great to see Tom. Cheers on the bisquits!
TOM, you are a nice guy. I like nice guys. hahaha all silliness aside. great seeing you again!!
Simon, what a fantastic supportive dad and son relationship. Tom is doing brilliant and great you have these cooking moments together. I totally get it - we're on the same journey as you. All the very best !!
King Alfred, A Bloke in the Woods. What a treat to spend time like that with your son. Good on you, Tom, for making time for the old man.
😂🤣👏👏👏‼️ I was thinking of the same parable myself 😎👍
Simon, great to see you and Tom in the woods again!!! Simon just make the oven, you have the skills and the skills will pay the bills if you make and sell them, like your folding saw and your canoe trailer!!! Another great video...
Ha ha was thinking he should have a go at making that oven. Loving Toms cooking skills.

Made me hungry watching that
Thumbs up Simon n Tom

Watch this space mate! 😁
Nice to have Son aboard.
Good to see Tom back out with you
this adventure is a beautiful example of the phrase " we all get there eventually " fantastic content and keep up the good work tom & Simon!

That’s a fair old trek! The backpacker oven might still be an option - lightweight and collapsible 👍👍

Glad to see you back in the woods brother
two of my favorite people on the planet
Much respect for not editing out the "well done" ones! Enjoyed watching, as usual.
Nice to see you and Tom enjoying Family Time again!
Learned a new trick to get the flaky layers too. Thank you Tom. Thank you simon.
I learnt about Dutch ovens from Kent Rollins in the US, it is amazing the things you can make in a Dutch oven with a bit of practice and know how. Roasting pork shoulder with crispy cracking was a particular fav of mine.
Cowboy Kent Rollins should be on the list of every outdoorsy person & backyard BBQ enthusiast 🤠😎👍‼️ He's a genuine outdoor cooking god😊👍
Amazing video those scones look delicious Simon they will go nice with cream jam you and Tom enjoy you're nice delicious scones you both deserve them take care.
Lovely seeing Tom, he reminds me of my cousin who has Aspergers.......he's training to be a chef!
You both make a great team!
How lucky to have such a lovely son, and your truly blessed to spend time together in the outdoors
i love how you left the burned ones in the final edit. Adam Savage says the problem with UA-cam is that people often edit out things that don't go as planned - making it seem like tasks are easier than they usually are. Well done! Thank you!!!
The caramelisation is just another texture and taste to the already tasty scones lol, great to see you both out and enjoying life
Sconetastic. Good to see you both back together enjoying the outdoors, happy days : )
Excellent work Simon & Tom - brilliant teamwork and very enjoyable video :-)
Smashing video as always Simon - great to see Tom, A chef in the Woods, back in the woods as well!
Tom, a chef in the woods--that's brilliant mate! Would give Andy a run for his money soon too eh!
Hahaha - I like that! 👍👍
Love seeing Tom! What a lovely young man. Great info on ovens.
Glad to see Tom again. Do enjoy your videos.
Excellent, the Tom & Simon show
What a sweet kid Tom is.
Good to see Tom.
What a nice young man Tom is. 😀
Very interesting. Good to have to have a scone while camping. I really like the reflector oven - what a great idea. Fun to have you son cooking with you. Thanks for sharing.
Had to wait 5 months for my 1 quart Petromax Dutch oven from Germany to US. Worth it I use it every other day.
Curious as to if there was a reason you chose it over the local, and easily acquirable in the US, Lodge.
Glad you like it! I think their castings are unrivalled 👍👍
@@borg9of9235 Lodge doest make a 1 quart anymore and are expensive. The German made one is a lot cheaper and better quality.
@@northwestolympics3001 good to know. I haven't really looked at dutch ovens since I got an enameled one as a gift and camping wise do most of my cooking in a wok.
It looks as if you have done a great job of being Dad! Tom seems to be just the kind of young man one would wish for in a son.
These videos always manage to calm me down after a stressful week. Thank you for re-invigorating me to get back out into the woods Simon. Great video. Keep it up!

I enjoy your videos with Tom and much as I do the videos with Maggie!
glade to see you and tom together again been awhile
It was wonderful to see the love and respect shown to you by your son, I really enjoyed this, Simon.
My husband liked the look of the burnt ones; he charcoals everything.
I love scones full stop. And cake and pudding :)
That's a great father and son tandem in the woods 👍🇵🇭
Nothing like having your son out so you can teach him a few things here and there awesome video absolutely awesome
Excellent job Tom. Simon you did all right :-) Nothing better than eating a meal in the woods.
Really good to see Tom out again on another video, he did a great job on those scones! 10/10
The center was perfect.
Another super light weight backpacking trip. It was very informative and looked delicious. Have fun and stay safe.
Another very good informative video, good to see you and your son Tom out enjoying the great outdoors.

@@simonablokeinthewoods Understood. I don't mind eating the postage costs as well if you change your mind just let me know.
Stopping by to watch again. Great job, team.
nice baking in the woods guys well done to your son Tom stainless steel heats up very quick thats why they where burned
Father and son stuff is always cool
Those are really lovely layers in those scones!
Another great informative and entertaining video. Thank you for all the wonderful videos.

Great to see thanks Simon and Tom .
Thanks Tom and Simon. Informative and entertaining 🙏👏
Beautiful scenery and food! Thanks for the tip about the stick to hold the Billy pot lid on. Simple yet ingenious solution!
cool to have someone you care about with you...
Tom is a cool guy just like his Dad.Appreciate the videos👍
Like it when Tom comes along!
Good vid, nice bit of dad and son time always makes good memories for the future
Love yer channel. Always enjoy watching you interact with yer son. It's hard to develop a relationship like that with anyone, let alone yer own children. Real proud of you sir.

Hiya Tom. Lovely father and son time. :)
I LOVED THE CLICK when that Y-twig hack locked the billy can lid!
Good Evening Simon, love a Scone. And I will remember the twig to seal the Billy. Very useful trick. Thank you.
