So many roads by Headlund
Cherokee Shuffle by Nat Keefe and Hot Buttered Rum
Simon: Honey I'm gonna do a hot chocolate tasting video I need the cups.
Mrs. Simon: Which cups?
Simon: All the cups.
😂😂😂
O’boy what a result, didn’t see that coming, there are not too many people on you tube that could keep me glued to screen for almost 20mins reviewing sachets of hot chocolate. Another good video.
even hiding the packet under the leaf (2:00 in) wasnt fooling anyone🤣😂🤣.......I stand corrected......should watch the whole video before commenting really😛
Hahaha - thank you Richard!
And the camp tidy up at the end wasn't speeded up at all, that was just Simon on *all*that*sugar*! :D
😆😆😆
😂😂😂
LOL
And an hour or so later he crashed like a ton of bricks when it wore off! LOL
Diabetes here I come ... lol. Bushyboy Oz
At least, somebody has cleared this important bushcraft topic! Well done.
I put peppermint schnapps in mine & totally agree that there's nothing like a hot chocolate on a chilly day.
cherry brandy is good too, for a black forest gateaux feel
😋
O'boy portion powder and Islay Mist whisky 😊 very relaxing...
FYI, it’s Land O’ Lakes, from Minnesota I think. The state is called the land of ten thousand lakes. I bought a giant bag of O’boy after watching you. It’s great. Love your vids.
Not once did I ever think to myself I'd be on the edge of my seat watching someone drink hot chocolate but here I am.
😂😂 Thanks man!
As someone who never heads out on a canoe trip without an ample supply of hot chocolate, this is amazing.
Turtles are a type of chocolate candy - a blob of caramel with pecans stuck on it, and covered with chocolate. I have never tried the drink, but I bet it's excellent.
Even the simplist concept and you somehow make it entertaining. Great stuff, Simon. Cheers.
British Army hot chocolate and a shot of rum was always my go-to when I still lived at home in the UK, here in the US there are some fancier instant ones, but the Land O Lakes is my new favourite - with rum in the evening of course.
Such a fitting video, especially with this coming weekend's "camp out" that you are promoting.
This week definitely go on the menu!
Cheers!
I've watched many of your videos now and I love the mmm sound you make everytime you taste something nice!
awesome idea for a video. gonna try some of those myself. thanks Simon!
Simon drinks lots of hot chocolate , followed by review of effectiveness of different brands of Insulin 🤣😛
I'm diabetic, so it was the first thing I thought of. If I tried to compare more than two they'd be wheeling me into the urgent care! LOL
😂😂😂
Somehow I missed this video when you put it out. It’s great! I LOL at the end when you added the pour from the flask. Great video!!
Great review of lots of Hot Chocolate options. Perfect for the holiday season out in the woods. I agree with you, the extra ingredient at the end of your video always makes a hot drink a little better.
This is so much entertaining. To me the expected outcome was O'boy. Thank you for sharing Simon. Great editing!
You doing a hot chocolate comparison. BRILLIANT! Loved it!
What a great test to take!! Love it!
What a fun video ☺️. Thank you so much for taking the time to make and share. 🙏👍x
Superb Simon, what a flipping great idea, no more cuppa let downs!
Great review Simon , Keep up the good work.
That was fun Simon! You did a really thorough taste testing!!
So happy I stumbled upon this video tonight!
Loved it and subscribed‼️☕️👏🏼😃
The most wholesome vid I have watched in a while😂love the Channel keep the content coming! never fail to make me smile 😁
That was a great fun video sir. Well done.
That's the BEST thumbnail ever seen ! 😃👍
I've never found anything better than Cadbury Hot chocolate powder 👍
MOD chocolate beverage with a tot of Lambs rum perfect for a chilly evening treat
The most needed bushcraft video ever, why has this not been done before?! 😂
😂😂😂
Great stuff, Simon. This will be a great thing to try with the kiddos over the holidays. Thanks for taking the sugar rush for us!
You simply make everything absolutely entertaining! 👍🏻
A very entertaining video, that's left me with a craving for Hot Chocolate. Loved the music at the end. Thank you.
Been wait for this 👍🏻
Best products for backpacking - food stuffs!! Excellent video content. Please keep going. Ideas are wonderful on this topic.
Wispa for me definitely. Silky smooth and melts well.
What a cool test to do!! I don’t have hot cocoa any more, but my favorite used to be Ghirardelli. Fun!
Glad to see you when I was hoping that you were going to be doing an overnighter but anything that you do is great. I love your hot chocolate reviews. Till the next time
Great video, thank you
Finally some real information that we can use, if there's everything we need it's hot chocolate perfection.👍👍
Really enjoyed the review and the lead in music. Thanks. 👍 🎼🇨🇱
Excellent taste test! My favorite over here in the US is Swiss Miss, sometimes with a dash of chili powder. Now I need to seek out some of those Scandinavian ones!
A drop of Bailey's in a hot chocolate is divine :-)
Excellent, Thanks
Loved the video Simon, you`ve got me looking on Amazon and Ebay now. Cheers Pal !
Imagine Simon after a similar tasting of various liquors. That would be a site to behold!
Good job!
Awesome review Brother ✊🏼🧐!! Cheers from California 🍻👊🏼😎🤙🏼
Sweetiest vid ever! Good work Simon :)
I am so here for this!
Interesting result.
Simon, the choclate turtle is a candy. chocolate coated caramel and pecans. Sweet and delicious! Thanks for the comparisons. Now we have to try some of those brands. Have a Happy Holiday!
The content we need in 2021!
Great video Simon. Good to see a review on hot chockies. Many of us hiking with our kids need an alternative beverage to coffee. For others, it's nice to switch up our hot beverages in the outdoors. Love your work mate. Keep the content coming.
Yum. Splash of brandy for me.
another great video! loved the end (Tipple you say?)!
Epic review! Never saw anything like it before. Nice tip of the hat to a certain Viking bushcrafter at the end too. ;) Be well Simon.
Great idea Simon. Let the battle commence.
Perfect video for these cool nights! Thanks for ideas on some other hot chocolates. I’ve had the LandOLakes here in the US. They even make them with other flavors… mint, raspberry etc. yum!
this is the quality content i come here for!
I gave a big hell yeah when you said Nestle. Being a CANADIAN my favorite things in winter is always bacon, thick soups or stews and hot chocolate. Thank you for the nod! Love you channel and keep up with the great work you do.
Fuck nestle
F*ck nestle
That stash bag is huge holding all them cups! Great video simon!
David Friars made that zip-up rectangular pouch if that's what you mean. I have no connection to David beyond being a happy customer. Find him via Etsy (UK based).
@@stevebayley8624 yeah thats what I was talking about. Thank you for the info!
Fantastic review...and a great way to get a "Sugar High"!
Brilliant video, really funny doing a hot chocolate taste test. Good you added the links to buy some of the chocolates, Im away to buy some Regia 123. Cheers
O'boy what a review!
Even though I'm not a fan of hot chocolate, I enjoyed your vid, as usual!!
Great video Simon - I’ll have to get some Asda Light Hot Choc to you, it’s the best supermarket one we’ve found.
Thanks Simon. I have struggled to get the Boy sachets. I bought large tubs and we take portions out with us. Run out now, so will have a search for the Regia. We take a spirit stove, hot choc and some brandy on nearly all of our walks. Essential kit.
Nothing better than hot chocolate around a fire. Thanks for sharing the pleasant video.
Fabulous job Simon, I also prefer the British forces chocolate above all and it is harder to get hold of.
Keep up the great work.
I like the last one the best 😉😜, great test Simon, thanks for sacrificing the sugar rush for us 😆🤙🤙🤙
Great Video Simon
Great wee video ,
Realy enjoyed this video...loved it in the field...still remember as yesterday ...exercise in Norway..0500 in the morning hot chocolate with rum!!!
Great video. Maltesers hot choc and galaxy hot choc are pretty good. Especially with Baileys and Cherry Spiced Rum. 😀
I love the land o lakes cocoa packets. Many varieties. All delicious. Probably my equivalent to your love for O'boy ☕🍫😋
I have to say, British army mint hot chocolate is my favourite for when I am out. Great video again👍
I love the mint one too! 😋
Very cool and useful video.
I am going to buy this Cadbury stuff.
Cheers from Eastern Westphalia
Very important information as the weather gets colder. Oh and Turtles from the Canadian one are kind of like big Rolos, choc with caramel inside.
Nice ! 👍 Before the winter's out I think I'll get into a bit of hot chocolate. I used to drink the Options one , but I think I'll go with Cadburys. ♡
I can't believe OBoy has lost its crown. Love the vid.
It was very close! 😂
I can’t believe you kicked O’Boy to the curb. I was your favorite in a previous video. Loved this video.
How you have to suffer for your craft!😀 Another cracking vid Simon
Another good video Simon. I think I need to do a taste test ! lol
Glad to see the Regia included! I'm Norwegian and grew up drinking Regia hot chocolate next to campfires in deep snow, those are some great childhood memories. O'Boy is something we'll mix with cold milk for breakfast to make more of a chocolate milk, so it's super strange for me to see it being consumed as a HOT beverage 😂 We can buy O'Boy in like big tubs of powder, and my mom likes to put so much powder in her milk that it can't all dissolve and then she gets blobs of unmixed O'Boy that she munches on... 😅 I'm more of a hot Regia kinda person.
When I was in the U.S. army, I’d use less water for the military hot cocoa which results in a paste that you eat with a spoon rather than drink it. 😀
In the Midwest we drink Swiss Miss, but with marshmallows.
I remember a friend who was in the Army telling us about the icing they’d make out of the cocoa packet, sugar, non-dairy creamer, and water. They’d spread it on their fruitcake or whatever.
Brilliant!! I love the Whisper and literally 2 days ago discovered that with a Galaxy is the best tasting chocolate I ever had. Now onto blending mugshots and cuppa soups haa, so kinda cool you’d bring out this video. Thankyou and enjoying the content ✌🏻
Chicken Mug Shot + mushroom soup. That's the way forwards!
@@stevebayley8624 nyyyyce!!
I went chicken and sweet and sour with minestrone. Goes wicked thick don’t it, lovely sauce
I’ve never thought of mixing soups with mug shots! Going to get on to that!! 😋
@@simonablokeinthewoods ahh man it’s the dogs!! And obviously there’s plenty of flavours to muck around with…enjoy good sir ✌🏻
Great video and information if I’m camping with my kids. But us adults prefer ice cold brews sitting around camp fire here in Texas .
The key to making a great hot chocolate is vitamin D whole milk , then you add 1/4 of your favorite chocolate bar & your favorite Hot chocolate mix & big marshmallows , topped with a candy cane or you can add whipped cream instead of marshmallows or add both . Don’t use whipped cream with oil in it use real whipped cream from cream . Drink theses on a regular around this time & sit down & watch The Polar Express great movie .
I was right and had you pegged to betray O-Boy by your original reaction when tasting the Regina.
You always provide fun and interesting content on your bushcraft channel. Exceptional as always. Greetings and Happy Christmas from the 🇺🇸. Cheers and God bless 🥃☕️⛺️🙏🏼😎
When Typhoon season comes to an end here in the Philippines, we experience dry weather with nothing like a real winter. Still, up north in the mountains of Baguio, you can see a lite frost at times. A good hot chocolate hits the spot. The supermarket sachets available here are so "weak" we usually make ours from scratch if there are two or more troops wanting a serving. Not very difficult to accomplish and your mix can be pre-measured and pre-packed at home for convenience. A nice hot drink is always a moral booster during and emergency.
They all looked good.
I would need a nap after drinking all of those chocolate drinks, I love the Cadbury one but I add a drop of milk first, glad you shown us your favourite x
Simon there’s only one thing that makes hot chocoholic Baileys Irish cream 🍹🍻👍😋
Cool video! Where did you get that great little table?
Great job Simon, going to start drinking hot chocolate!!
What great fun
Oboy has been demoted?! I don’t believe it 😂😂. Loved the video as usual 👍👍
Brilliant.
Thanks for doing this! I have been trying as many hot chocolate mixes here in the US. Cadbury is one of my favorites. Can’t find the Regia to try. I’ll keep looking though. Cheers!
While you can't beat the single serving packets for camp out convenience I still like my recipe: one part dutched cocoa, one part sugar, one part boiling water with a pinch of salt. Put it in a plastic bottle and you can pour it into hot milk as you please.
