  • 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.

      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.

    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 👍

    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.👍👍👍💯

      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

    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.

    Great video, thank you, very informative and very entertaining. One point I found very amusing is when he makes his tea in the morning he swings his brew around obviously to “ brew” the tea , then promptly stirs it with a handy stick found laying on the floor, this must add to the refined flavour! Please keep the videos coming Tim, you really hit the spot, Thanks.
