- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 11 ต.ค. 2020
- This solo camp cooking trip takes me into the Australian bush of the Vic High Country.
For my solo camp cooking trip, i have cooked all of my meals over the coals of the campfire.
I setup camp beside a beautiful Vic High Country mountain stream.
I enjoy Solo camping it's a great experience, its just you, the birds and your environment as your entertainment.
Being out in the Australian bush on your own and cooking the meals that you take to be cooked on the campfire is a great way of getting back to basics and a very simple life.
Solo camping needs to be experienced to really understand whats it's like.
After you have been on one enjoyable solo camp cooking trip, you might find yourself wanting more of this simple way of life.

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! 👍
Greatly appreciate the feedback thanks mate.
Cheers Tim.
Solo camping is the best way to solve the worlds problems
Absolutely it is mate.
It's amazing what you can think about when camping solo.
Thanks for your reply mate.
Cheers Tim.
Great video Batesy and great spot. Unfortunately living in metro Melbourne I'm having to live my trips through yours. Stay safe.

Gday Peter,
I’m glad mate you enjoyed the video. It was filmed in a stunning high country location.
I so can’t wait until you along with everyone in the lock down zone can go out and camp again.
Thanks for your reply mate.
Cheers Batesy.
Totally agree.
Acid also helps, jkjkjk hahaha
Solo camping is the best thing next to regular camping with mates.
Sure is mate.
It’s pretty good.
Cheers Tim
Solo vids make us feel like we’re there
Thanks very much mate.
I’m glad you enjoyed it.
That was a really nice camp spot.
I’m currently editing a new solo camping video at the moment.
I appreciate your feedback.
Cheers Tim.
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.
Gday Ben,
Yeah some people just don’t understand why you would go camping on your own.
It can be some of the most relaxing camping trips you will ever go on.
The environment around your camp setup is amazing if you just tune into it.
Thanks heaps mate for your feedback.
Cheers Tim
Thats great about your tool from work. What a great way to have and keep great memories.
Gday mate,
Yeah over 30 years in the bricklaying business, and I made some great mates from those times.
Keeping my last trowel was a no brainer
Works a treat in my camp box.
Thanks a lot mate for your feedback.
Cheers Tim
Ma-a-a-te.. I could NOT go through this video without chuckling along with you. What a ripper..!!!
Thank you.
Glad you enjoyed the video.
It was a great spot.
Cheers Tim
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
G'day Peter,
Mate i cant wait until you guys can get back out camping for your self.
Thanks for watching the video mate. Bush cooking at its best .
Cheers Tim.
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.
Gday Steven,
Enjoy retirement mate.
I hope you get around to making a damper on the campfire.
They are pretty easy to make mate, and very tasty when covered in jam and cream. Lol
Thanks for your feedback mate.
New videos are coming.
Cheers Tim
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 👍
Thanks mate for your reply.
It's hard going past the simple way of camping life.
Ive been doing it now for many years, and i really enjoy that way of going camping.
Thanks again mate, i appreciate your feedback.
Cheers Tim.
@@timbates4wdadventures yeah I know you have mate, I remember watching you on some of the VHC vids on 4wdMonthly a long long time ago. Your definitely an O.G. in the 4WD scene 👍
I love camping with my dog's bye my self it's the best
G'day Donna,
Yeah im looking at getting a dog at some stage.
Just the National Parks are a pain for taking dogs.
Thanks for your reply.
Cheers Tim.
I´m sure he enjoyed every gram of food there, great video
Sure was a great cook up and location.
Thanks for your reply.
Cheers Tim
Beautiful Tim life is better when it’s simple.
G'day Luke,
Thats for sure mate. The simple life is amazing.
Thanks for your reply mate.
Cheers Tim.
But we need to work to afford a 4WD 😁
What a top bloke... 👍👍👍
Cheers mate.
Tim.
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!
G'day mate,
The sounds of the bush are amazing when you're out on your own.
So peaceful, and i really hope you can get out and travel again very soon.
Take care mate.
Cheers Tim.
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
Gday mate.
Will you come back some day?
Or is home now in the UK for you?
Thanks mate got your feedback
Cheers Tim
Australia is like Africa they touch the soul, drawing you back, some day soon
@@timshaw8187 sounds good mate.
Maybe we need more blacksmiths to make useful and good looking things post Covid-19. More blacksmiths fewer baristas!
Yeah just to get the detail that my set has, it needs to be hand made.
Cheers Tim.
@@timbates4wdadventures Maybe simpler and better times will return
@@atoieno I really hope so mate.
@Jim but Backsmiths use forges not stickwelders...they forge iron not steel with hammers, anvils and bellows. They strike while the iron is hot. So blacksmithing is a craft that needs perpetuating. Not anyone can do it...because it takes time and apptitude to learn. Even good welding takes skill not just a stick welder.
@Jim But Batesys were made by a blacksmith...not a novice with a stick welder. I could make something with some reo bar but that''s not the point of my comment.
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.👍👍👍💯
Absolute Australian ambassador is our Tim.... Lee South Africa
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!
G'day Nathan,
I hope its soon for you mate.
Might see you out in the high country some day.
Thanks for your reply and feedback mate.
Cheers Tim.
It’s amazing how few 4wd’s you can buy up
Here in QLD because of travel restrictions everyone is hitting up some camping, the only issue is the uninformed and inexperienced people hitting the tracks and beaches there has been a lot of vehicles getting swamped and rolled, or the simple fact that Tyre pressure is key in sand
@@xXAussieYakerXx Thats it mate. Tyre pressures are key on the beaches. No good hearing about the roll overs.
The high country sure is great for camping
Ohhh, it sure is.
So many stunning camping options in the Vic High Country.
Cheers Tim.
Have not seen the billy swung for a few years. Good onya mate
G'day Keith,
Yeah its a bit old school the swing of the billy. Makes a great cuppa though.
Cheers Tim
Oh man. Damper around a stick with butter and jam down the centre. That brings back the memories.
G'day mate,
Thats it mate.
I must do a video making damper on a stick.
Great days the old scouting days.
Thanks for your reply.
Cheers Tim.
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.
Gday mate,
Yes, solo camping is an amazing experience if you are set up for it, and you can handle your own company while out in the bush.
I’ll be looking forward to my next solo camping trip.
Cheers Tim.
There is something very calming about these videos
Thank you for your reply and feedback.
Out in the bush on your own in a stunning location like that, is very calming.
Cheers Tim.
We should all get away from our daily lives for a bit like this guru . Awesome.
G'day Joseph,
It's worth giving it a go thats for sure.
Very relaxing with just the sounds of the bush going on.
Top spot.
Thanks mate for your feedback.
Cheers Tim
Good camp, good fun. Nice old tea pot.
Gday mate,
It is a top spot.
The old billy has been on a few campfires.
Cheers Tim.

Thanks mate.
Cheers Tim
enjoyed thanks for sharing now i'm hungry
Haha lol
Thanks mate.
That was such a great spot to camp for a few days
Cheers Tim
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
G'day mate,
Sounds like you had some great times with your dad growing up. You cant beat cooking brekky up on the campfire, it's just the best.
Thanks a lot mate for your reply.
Cheers Tim
That guy just knows how to appreciate life. Ya love to see it!
Thanks mate. Simple life and very relaxing.
Thanks for your feedback.
Cheers Tim.
Watching you Tim is the next best thing to being there!

Fantastic.
G'day Bruce,

Stunning location.
Cheers Tim.
I love to solo camp then invite a mate out to enjoy it :)

Cheers Tim.
Thank you mate this vid is the best I have seen in awhile 👍
Thanks very much.
It was a top trip away.
Very relaxing.
Thanks for your feedback.
Cheers Tim
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’s it mate.
Just because it’s old and well used, doesn’t mean it still can’t do the job.
Some of the old stuff is still better quality than the newer equivalent today.
Thanks mate for your reply.
Cheers Tim
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 👍🏻
G'day mate,
Thanks heaps for your reply and feedback.
Thats great you have enjoyed a few videos. Thanks for checking them out.
Cheers Tim.
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 👍🍻🇦🇺
Sounds like amazing country where you are mate.
Fair chance I'll catch you somewhere out in the bush some day.
Im always keen for a yarn over a few cold ones.
Thanks mate for your feedback, im glad you enjoyed the video.
Cheers Tim.
solo camping you just cant beat it
Yeah Jim, it's pretty amazing out in the bush on your own.
Thanks for your reply mate.
Cheers Tim.
Full of damper, jam and cream; then sits down with a beer! Only in Australia. Cheers🙈😱🦘
Way to go mate.
Went down a treat. Lol
Cheers Tim.
You live like a king out bush. Cheers mate. I hope to be able to do some of the same in the south west.
Gday mate
Thanks mate.
It’s not hard at all to still cook amazing meals while you’re out camping.
I hope you get into some amazingly delicious camp cooking soon
Cheers Tim.
Everytime Tim says "Fantastic" = one more drink!
Hahaha Lol
I reckon you would have a few drinks after that video. Lol
Cheers Tim.
@@timbates4wdadventures Love the vids! You are inspiring me to get out and do this myself. I don't live in AUS, tho, and have to deal with snow, lol!
@@christopherjones5561 Thanks mate, i greatly appreciate your feedback.
Where are you from mate?
I have a few months to go before the snow falls down here. Great time of the year when the snow is on.
@@timbates4wdadventures I live in New York State, USA, up near the Canada border.
By the way, what firestarter did you use in the vid? I couldn't see what you were scraping onto the bark?
@@christopherjones5561 ahh righto mate.
Thanks for dropping in from the USA. Sounds amazing where you live.
I’d love to see Canada one day.
The white block I shave off to start the fire, is just a fire lighter I buy from my local hardware store.
Works really well with the ferro Rod.
Cheers Tim.
Batesy that was serene body went into complete relaxation mode,job well done thanks
Gday Peter,
That was such a great trip and very relaxing in that location.
Glad you enjoyed that one mate.
Cheers Tim.
Just watched this with my 4yr old son. Dad when we going camping was the first thing he said
Gday Simon,
That’s unreal mate.
I hope you can get out camping with your son very soon mate.
Thanks for your reply and feedback, I greatly appreciate it.
Cheers Tim.
Thank u for the video. Look forward to watching many more
@@simont4825 thanks mate.
I greatly appreciate it.
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
G'day Jason,
Yeah righto mate. I hope you are keeping busy during these times.
Good ol Marshalltown trowel. Lol
Thanks for your reply mate.
Cheers Tim
Jason i was thinking the same thing with the trowel. My father and brother were brickies and I used to be the labourer, the old man used to say I want my shovels clean enough to cook eggs on.
@@michaelpepper7230 Haha
great story mate.
Nothing like a cut down marshaltown trowel. AWSOME stuff👍
Gorgeous location!
Stunning bush camp spot that one.
Very relaxing few days
Thanks for your feedback
Cheers Tim
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
Gday Lonnie
Sounds like you have some very special camping times with your dad while growing up.
Camping remotely is amazing when you can find a spot that others can’t get into.
I hope your deer hunting is going well.
Thanks so much for your reply.
Cheers Tim
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
Gday mate,
Thanks very much for your feedback.
And thanks for dropping in from the States.
That’s wax a great camping trip.
You take care and hopefully one day you can come out to Australia and see some of these places.
Cheers Tim
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…
G'day mate,
Campfire cooking is the best. I really enjoy cooking on the campfire.
It's amazing what you can cook up with a simple setup.
Thanks for your feedback.
Cheers Tim
Tim I love your videos!!
Thanks heaps mate.
Really appreciate your reply.
Cheers Tim
Thank u that was awesome to watch , enjoyed ❤
Thanks very much.
It was a great solo camp trip that one.
Cheers Tim
On ya tim.
Great food, cold beer, in front of the bush television... magnificent mate👍
G'day Jamie,
Its all a great combination for sitting around the campfire mate. Such a top spot.
Thanks for your reply and feedback mate.
Cheers Tim.
I don't eat pastor but I did enjoy watching you cook it
Thats cool mate.
Glad you enjoyed the video.
Cheers Tim.
keep these long episodes coming Tim! Fantastic work so far!
G'day mate,
Thanks for watching the video, im glad you enjoyed it.
I do plan to make this length of video going forward on my camping trips.
Thanks for your reply mate.
Cheers Tim.
Once, just once I’d like to hear Tim say ‘How’s the serenity”......lol
Haha lol
I’ll work on that mate.
Cheers Tim
oh I go solo camping myself its good to relax and ponder over stuff , I would have been sitting throwing a line in that creek even if there is nothing in it lol but high country has to have trout lol
G'day mate,
Solo camping is a very relaxing time out in the bush. I must throw a line in a bit more on my travels.
That was a great camping spot.
Thanks for your feedback.
Cheers Tim
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!
G'day Max,
Thanks a lot mate for your feedback.
I do try and keep it real, and you sure don't need all the latest and greatest mods to get out and enjoy the Aussie bush.
I appreciate your reply mate.
Cheers Tim.
'KISS Principle'
Good stuff!
@@ianhatfield4961 Thats it mate. Works a treat.

Winter Run off in the Stream.. Sounds peaceful, don't get that in QLD but the ocean is pretty good to. Love the Channel mate
G'day Jase,
Yeah mate, after winter in the high country is amazing, the rivers are flowing nicely.
So peaceful when camping beside them.
Thats for mate, the few times ive camped out on Fraser Island. Hearing the waves rolling in has the same effect as running mountain rivers.
Thanks for your reply mate.
Cheers Tim.

@@jase6827 see how things pan out next year mate. Snow camping is a great experience.
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 🙏🏻
G'day Albert,
It was a great location and you just cant beat campfire cooking while camping. Just the best.
Im glad you enjoyed it mate.
I will have another solo trip coming up in the next few weeks mate.
Thanks for your reply and feedback.
Cheers Tim.
Just had to watch this one again mate. Love Lime stone! Wish I could hit the like button twice. Tell ya what ya don't see many making tea the old bushy way anymore. Have you ever had the handle let go and sent the billy to the moon haha.
Great trip that was mate. Really nice area to kick back for a few days.
I've always made my billy tea that way, and the handle has never come off.
Thanks for your reply mate.
Cheers Tim.
@@timbates4wdadventures Yep the real bushy way. Damper black tea and meat.
@@DJSAS Absolutely mate. Cant beat the simple ways of cooking on the campfire.
lovely vid batesy, but jam goes on before cream mate everyone knows that
Haha :-)
I reckon it tastes good either way when it goes down. Lol
Thanks mate for your reply.
Cheers Batesy.
Nice work mate. Thanks for sharing. Cheers.
No worries mate. It was a great spot.
Cheers Tim.
What a great spot. I'm not going to worry about asking anyone to tag along next time a couple days by myself might be the go hanging to use my camp oven and the bacon and eggs looked alight too. Thanks Tim great clip
Gday John,
Mate you will love camping up that way on the Snowy River.
Stunning country mate.
Have a great cook up in your camp oven, they are the best.
Thanks mate for your reply and feedback.
Cheers Tim.
Thank you I enjoyed that
Gday mate,
Thanks for your reply and feedback. I’m glad you enjoyed the video.
It was a great spot.
Cheers Tim.
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.
Gday mate,
Yeah you can’t beat a hot bacon n egg sandwich with a hot cupa to get a cold morning started.
Top campsite.
Thanks for your reply mate.
Cheers Tim.
g day tim found meyself watching this one again...winters here in orkney now..hoping to do a few winter camps mate...spag bol looks good..heres a tip.drop some olive oil in the spag, stops it sticking together..all the best cobber...mick in orkney....
G'day Mick,
Hows things mate?
Thanks for the olive oil tip, i must try it out.
Cheers Tim
I figured out decades ago to hone my camp cooking skills. That way I get invited more often.
But there is definitely something about solo camping that I prefer and I always do all of the cooking at solo camp instead of bringing pre made dishes.
Gday Todd,
Yeah camping with mates is great.
But solo camping is next level.
I really enjoy it, that’s for sure.
Thanks for your reply mate.
Cheers Tim
Tim, have you ever covered how you pack the cooking gear like the fire grill and pan etc? If not, could you do that for us?
Gday mate,
I keep all my cooking gear in my new boxes.
I’ve made some changes to those boxes.
Still a couple more add ons to go.
Once I have the boxes finished. I’ll film how I pack my boxes for my camping trips.
Thanks mate for your feedback and reply.
Cheers Tim
@@timbates4wdadventures Thanks very much Tim.
@@Rob73428 no worries mate.
Hey Timbo, that certainly is a gorgeous spot to set up. I reckon you have camped in hundreds of spots like that - but not the same one twice, just gold. The sounds of the birds and the stream is wonderful, so glad to have that as your backyard. I think Aussie's have adopted Spag Bol as one of our National dishes, great for what you're doing! I am pretty much a coffee guy, but your tea looked pretty good for a frosty morn. Oh Jeez - I can almost smell that bacon and eggs mate - fantastic, just missing the tom sauce. I will be doing your damper next time. The kids can like it or lump it - we love the fruit. Pearler fires mate, High Country timber. Is there anything that isn't better on the fire, that shank looked superb, Christ I'm hungry now. My camp oven is yelling at me! Thanks for sharing mate! Not a better spot in the world, I reckon. Cheers Timbo, just loved the vid.
G'day Murray,
Yeah mate, i have camped in many spot. But not many as good as the spots im going on the solo trips. Stunning country.
Good ol spag bol is so good anytime, but in the campfire, it goes to another level. Lol
Good luck with that damper mate, good ol fruit loaf os so good. Lol
Thanks heaps mate, i greatly appreciate your feedback and reply.
Cheers Tim.
Some of my friends and family think 🤔 am weird that I like solo camping ⛺️ it’s the best thing to oneself
Gday Michael,
It’s a hard one to explain to people why you go camping on your own.
It’s an amazing experience, that’s for sure.
Thanks a lot for your feedback mate.
Cheers Tim.
Great video Tim , great ideas on the dinners too mate , also smart to have your PLB with you 👍
G'day Adam,
Cant beat cooking on the campfire, they taste amazing.
Having a PLB is gold for the safety side incase something is to go wrong.
Thanks for that mate.
Cheers Tim.
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 🤞🏼
G'day Jason,
Yeah mate, everything was pretty perfect for that camp spot.
I really hope you can travel again soon.
Take care mate.
Cheers Tim.
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
Gday John,
Yeah mate, kicking back at camp relaxing is really nice.
This was in a great spot.
Thanks mate, for your feedback, I greatly appreciate it.
Cheers Tim.
Thanks for sharing Tim. Something about these vidoes seem to be very therapeutic. Loving the simple life.
Gday Jordan,
No worries at all mate.
This was a very peaceful and very enjoyable trip.
Thanks for your reply and feedback mate.
Cheers Tim.
Just so stunning you can't beat it I'm missing camping so much I can't go at the moment my partner is close to give birth to a baby boy can't wait to take the young fella out he will be 2 months old for his camping trip 👌👌
G'day Chris,
All the best mate with the new addition thats coming in your family. Exciting times ahead.
I hope that you can get back out camping soon and with your family.
Thanks for your reply mate.

Thanks mate for finding my channel, and i hope that you continue to enjoy the videos coming through.
Thanks for your reply.

Cheers Tim, myself and the Mrs are just starting with outdoor cooking with Dutch ovens, and wild camping off the beaten track is great although is all but illegal in the UK so for us it's nearly all stealth camping, Down under you probably could go for weeks without seeing anyone? Not double here all the best John.
@@johnthompson3605 yeah mate. Things are great for you in the UK. I hope things change for you soon, so you and wife can get back out Bush camping and cooking again.
I could very easily go for a few weeks and not see anyone.
Cheers Tim.
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.
Yeah mate, really tough times for you guys down in Melbourne.
I really hope things change for the better very soon.
Thanks mate for your reply and feedback.
Cheers Tim.

G'day mate,

Cheers Tim.
Going to get the anvil and forge out the weekend and try and me a set thanks for the great content how camping should be
G'day Errol,
Thanks mate for your feedback. Have fun on the anvil mate.
Cheers Tim.
You make the damper look bloody easy mate, Just slowing down from life is such a great thing. It’s been years since I went out camping and only just started again with a city girl. 😆 getting the mindset back and loving it. Been showing her your vid and she’s getting the idea too.
Cheers mate, owe you a beer.
G'day Negs,
Making a damper in the camp oven is so good. Cover it in jam and cream makes a very nice meal.
Add what ever you want into a damper, they are all good.
Yeah, in the current climate, relaxing out in the bush with some campfire cooking, is a great way to relax and enjoy your surrounds.
I hope you get back out soon and unwind.
Thanks for your reply, i appreciate your feedback.
Cheers Tim.
loving your vids how you mix old sch camping with moden happy safe travels bro
Thanks Robyn,
Old school camping is simple but a great way to enjoy the Australian bush.
Thanks for your feedback.
Cheers Tim.
Oh wow, I have finally found a practical use for my beloved LH trowel. Had it for over 40yrs, don’t know if I could really cut it down, however it seems like a good idea. Have only recently found your TH-cam channel, and am going though your previous posts. Keep up the great work.
G'day John,
Hahah , the good ol trowel makes a great egg flip. Lol
I hope that enjoy the other videos on my channel mate.
