- In this video, I head out for riverside walk with Maggie, the big black dog, to work up an appetite for breakfast. We find a nice secluded, shady spot beside the river and set about getting a fire going to cook up a tasty treat. I was recently sent some Aboriginal Australian ingredients from my friends Hari and Alana, and this was the ideal opportunity to try them out - ribeye steak, seasoned and cooked over the fire, damper - a simple tasty flat bread and Lemon Myrtle tea - deliciously refreshing on a hot day!
Thanks for watching!

Maggie,lovely Maggie….what a sweet and gentle soul…Thank you for sharing your times together..You were a wonderful Dad to her…🐶
YOUR MAGGIE IS A NEWFOUNDLANDer !!!! 👍 Maggie you are an absolute a BEAUTY !
❤Maggie❤ Thanks for the video Simon
I get dirt bikes past mine so often, I barely noticed it was on the video :) the intro reminded me of Jack walking his pony along the river and over the little foot bridges from Outta town.
I love your show & Andy’s - love your dog ❤ Jane from Australia 🇦🇺
The only problem with this video, is I can only hit “like” once.
Thanks mate! 😁
😆
Meat, Bread, Tea , a nice combination, that sauce made it special. Great fire anchor.
I've missed seeing Maggie's big, furry face. You're both looking well. Take care.
Another great video, good camera positioning making the whole Film entertaining, Thanks Ian
Thanks Ian. 👍
Perfect example of how a walk can be more than just a walk. Nice work, sir.
-Steve
This is an old video, but its nice to see Maggie. Such a sweetheart!
Delicious. My favorite breakfast!
Mine too! 😉😋
Simon a Chef in the Woods ........yummy food ...great video again of your equipment and Cooking.Loved the close ups of Maggie.... your videos are wonderful ,Thanks ......
Never heard the dirt bike. Wouldn't have known it was there. Probably the cheap ear buds I'm using. Great video, you always make me hungry.
Always such a pleasure to watch * Loved the Maggie close-ups. She is so majestic looking with her lions mane of fur.Thank you so much for continuing to share your passion & skills with us all. Sending well wishes *
Simon, great to see Maggie, nice music to start, truly love your videos, I didn't know that you and Kent survival did a video together, I'm watching that tonight, also I bought a sewing machine because of you, you've made sewing cool sir, I know I'll be rubbish but what the heck. First Nations gift from Australia, awesome, man that steak looked good, it's not even my dinner time yet and I'm hungry now, never cooked a damper myself but I will try it, cheers.
This is not damper, though. It's an Englishman's version. Real damper is cooked in the coals and is like a giant, hard cake/scone. Great hot with lots of cold butter. You can even toss a few saltanas in for the sweet relief.
Simon and Andy have done quite a few videos together! They are all awesome. ☺️
If you like dampers, I suggest what we call "biscuits" in the US. Made almost the same way, but cut into circles. Lots of recipes on the internet. When camping, I use a trick, just mix self rising flour and heavy cream, don''t measure, just eyeball it. Mix the dough in a plastic bag, then pinch off some roll it into a ball, and smash flat before baking.
dogzilla100 - I'm pretty sure a lot of the uninitiated from English speaking nations see 'biscuits & gravy' on the menu and picture something likely to be served up the movie 'Oliver'!🤣. It's great American, early settler, hearty food!😍😋👍❗️💯‼️
Thanks mate - hope you enjoy the other ones too - we did a 5 day canoe trip in Sweden which was awesome fun!
Awesome, thanks Simon.
'Aussie as' maaayte🤠👍❗️Greetings from Friday afternoon in Oz. You got sent some top goods! Gotta pick those younger leaves from the lemon myrtle, otherwise they're overpowering & stong😋, there's a cinnamon myrtle too😍😋. Nice use of a wider-angle lens on the bridge to give that 'converging-lines' effect 🎥 , top of the weir shot was pretty awesome too😎👍. Loving that ironmongery as well 👏👏👏. 😵giant hogweed flower in the closing sequence😲
Thanks mate!! I’m going to see if I can get some cinnamon myrtle - sounds lush! 👍🇦🇺
Very cinematic video. It's like watching an artistic movie. Cheers mate.
Nice lunch out mate :) and some nice peace and quiet too
Cheers matey! Nice except for that bloody dirt bike! 😂😂😂
Bless old Maggi, it is lovely to look at your old videos while we wait for you to return in the Spring.
damn.. love seeing your videos with maggie. the only problem im not there also. keep doing these videos and take good care of your dog. she is a good pup.
Ach. after the day I've had, needed a bit of this. Cheers Simon
Your video's just make me happy.......
Simon just a little advice on cooking a traditional Aussie damper mate.Being a kid from the bush I started work at 14 as a billy boy and general rusabout for a gang of fencing contractors camped out in the bush. The billy tea had to brewed and dampers cooked by 10am sharp for smoko otherwise a sore arse would be felt. To cook dampers to produce a nice crust, they would be laid directly on a bed of ashes, just like you've got there and a layer of ashes were racked over to completely cover them. I usually did 6 to 8 at a time, depending how many blokes were going to have smoko (morning tea time, and a smoke). it usually took 10 to 12 minutes for them to cook. Take the dampers out the ashes, give them a good dusting over and they were serviced broken (not cut) into pieces with some Golden Syrup poured over and washed down with tea that only a billy over an open fire can produce. Billies were made from an empty Sunshine Powdered milk tin that held about 4 litres with a piece of fencing wire for a handle. There was no lid and the tea took on a smoked Eucalytus flavour. If we were in Narrow Leafed Ironbark country, I'd throw a couple of crushed up Ironbark leaves in the billy water a few minutes before it boiled. This gave the tea a really nice soothing Eucalyptus flavour. There were no Lemon Myrtle gum trees growing in our area. As soon as the billy started a rolling boil (not before), measure out loose tea leaves in a cupped hand (about two tablespoons full to 4 litres of water) chuck the tea leaves in the water and IMMEDIATELY, grab the billy by the handle and swing it in a circular motion 3 times overhead then stop and watch the tea leaves roll over in the billy. This steeped the tea ready to drink. So fresh hot dampers, Golden Syrup, freshly brewed billy tea, and a roll your own fag (no tailor made fags in the bush those days, as every bloke had his own tin of Log Cabin fine cut tabacco, and cigarette papers) meant there were a mob of happy blokes having smoko.Who could want more. If I stuffed up anything, it was a guaranteed number 8 (hob nailed boot size) in the arse. Smoko was a ritual. All gone now though after 55 years.
Mate... you make the world a nicer place to live. And you're an inspiration. Thank you. xx
Very nice.
Another great video keep them coming and great to see Maggie out with you be safe
Hello Simon.... I hope Maggie went for a swim..... very cooling. Relaxing video 👏👏👏🙏
Pretty small bag of goodies for such an entertaining video.
Cheers to premium content!
That opening song was really beautiful.
Waoo my friend, amazing adventure. Iam from the big 🍎 and your videos are the perfect escape to me and relax!! Thanks so much!
Nice video Simon 👍. Fabulous to see Maggie and you out in the Bush 😛 😜
I appreciate your camera angles and editing
Simon, so great to see you and Maggie out and about! That walk looked very therapeutic with a great breakfast thrown in. Thanks for sharing!
Thanks, Simon for sharing.
Bravo! Loved it all, even nap time.
Beautiful video and great to see Mags out and about. I've made Aussie dampers in the camp oven, some sweet, some savory. Nice and simple like that perfect looking steak. Thanks for another escape to the countryside.
A Kent Survival and a Simon video all in the same day? Monsieur with this outdoor content, you are really spoiling us!
😉😁👍
Good to see Maggie out and about 😃🤙🤙🤙
Glad Maggie got her share. She is such a good girl.
Great video. That steak with the sauce looked tasty! Like seeing Maggie . Always love your choice of music.
Thanks for the walk, cook and recipes. Lovely. Your dog is well behaved.
Anyone else’s mouth start watering when simon cut into that steak (just off to the butchers)
I'm not sure who was drooling more, me or my dog.
Another great video, thank you Simon and Maggie
Brilliant video had I alot of questions about outdoor gear and you have covered them all thank you very much top man thanks for taking the time out to help us all 👍👍👍
Thanks Paul!
I was a vegetarian for 17 years... before I started to get interested in bushcrafting and watched video's like this. :p
A beautiful mini adventure, something I could manage myself! Thank You for the inspiration. 🏕🛶🍳
Grey way to wrap up my day. Thanks Simon
Thanks Simon. When the World is pulling itself to bits its lovely to watch something gentle and calm. We both love your vids. Thank you!!
That bite of steak shot with the Chili lime sauce instantly made my mouth water!
And I giggled, because the dirt bike noises sounded like you enjoying your food & giving out healthy toots.😋 🤣🤭💨
Haha - that’s why I put in the #dirtbike tags - I needed a cover up!
I find watching your video's so relaxing and enjoyable to watch.
Thanks for sharing this video Simon .
A great start to my morning. Recalibrated a rather grumpy frame of mind having woken up too early. You're my youtube apothecary Simon. Keep them coming.
great video, you should come to the States and do some camping
So great to see Maggie out & about with you.
as always 👍👍 I can imagine in the opening shots seeing you and Maggie and yelling out "hey Simon, wait up!"
Damper cooked Aussie style is usually done in a camp oven (Dutch 0ven) and the dough rise is very good with a browned crust on top. For added flavour I add some raisins or chopped dried apricots. The result is yummy. Great times you have. My mantra -- What makes you happy, DO THAT!
Thanks mate - I’m going to try it in a Dutch oven. 👍
All the camping/bushcraft books I had as a child suggested spiral wrapping around a stick and toasting over the fire, for style points alone that wins
Lovely cook on a beautiful day next to the river!!!
Nice to see you & Maggie out again Simon. TAKE CARE..
Love this Simon.....thank you
Wish you were on the tv never mind youtube. Keep up the good work 👍
Nice video mate, just sat watching you from South Australia drinking a cold beer the steak looked awesome. Looks like Kentish woodland your in there? Cant beat a good Aussie blended steak mix I live an hour from the Murray river 👍😎🇦🇺
Thanks mate! It’s Norfolk rather than Kent, but similar in some ways. 👍👍
Nice one Simon and Maggie. So glad you liked the taste of Australia 🇦🇺 in the English country side. Cheers mate.

When you bit into that steak Sir. I instantly almost drowned my mouth watered so much. Thanks for sharing your adventure with us..
Just allaround good person mate thankyou so much for shareing
Hello Simon from the US I am so glad to see The Hairy Beast Maggie such a treat when she's in a video what a good dog she is. That steak looks like the bomb Simon the best steak I've ever cooked was done with just salt and pepper and that was it and it always pays to let your meat hit room temperature first before you cook it I know you know that you're a hell of a cook. My mouth has that is watered over a few of your camp out dishes. Simon you and Maggie stay safe StayWell and as always God bless
Thanks Joseph! 😁🥩👍
Listen up folks because that's called living the dream and it don't cost a whole lot to do unlike many thing today.
Thanks Don!

Thanks Richard - great bit of kit. 👍🔥
Simon, upon your recommendation, I ordered the Large Three-Arm Grill Anchor set from TJM Metalworks and the high quality and superb craftsmanship is astounding! It just arrived and I can't wait to use it! Thanks for the rec!
Great kit isn’t it! Quality you don’t get from cheap mass produced products. 👍🔥👍
Hi Simon, nice to see you and Maggie out for breakfast, which looked lovely, keep up the good work with your videos.
Such a perfect riparian feast.That steak was the best cut of rib-eye I'd ever seen.Have you ever made stinging nettle soup? Thanks for the link to Native Oz. Bushfoods.Always happy to support a First Nation owned enterprise.The chili sauce looked a treat.You find the best spots to film in! Cheers, Debbie
Thanks Debbie!
I’ve used nettles in lots of things, but not made a soup with it - one to try! 😋
@@simonablokeinthewoods I remember watching old episodes of "The Good Life, Tom & Barbara made Nettle wine which used to give Margot a fit!"
Great video Simon, loving that grill and food looked amazing! Nice and chilled! Thanks for sharing
