  • In this video, I head out to the woods with my son, Tom, to test out a range of camp ovens and to do a bit of baking on the campfire.
    Being able to bake in camp really adds another dimension to camp food - fresh bread, scones, cakes, biscuits and all manor of tasty baked goodies - homely food out in the wild.
    We will be testing out four popular types of oven - the Dutch oven, the Zebra billy can oven, the reflector oven and the Bemco Backpacker oven.
    Tom is in charge of making a batch of scones - some with cheese and Jalapeño, some with fruit and we bake them over the fire.
    I hope you enjoy the video.
    Thanks for watching.

    Scone Recipe
    Ingredients
    400g Self Raising Flour
    1/2 tsp Baking Powder
    Pinch of Salt
    125g Butter, cubed
    200ml Milk
    75g Grated Cheddar Cheese
    A handful of Jalapeño slices, patted dry
    50g Sultanas
    20g Sugar
    Beaten Egg to Glaze
    1. Add the butter to your flour, baking powder and salt mix and rub in to make fine breadcrumbs.
    2. Add the milk, a little at a time, mixing to create a firm Dough that doesn’t stick to your fingers.
    3. Divide the dough in two.
    4. Roll out each half and lay on the cheese and jalapeños on one half and the fruit and sugar on the second.
    5. Fold and roll each batch repeatedly until the flavourings are well distributed.
    6. Roll out to about 25mm (1”) and cut out your scones using a circular pastry cutter. (you should get about 6 of each if you use a 50mm cutter)
    7. Brush with beaten egg and grate cheese on the savoury ones.
    8. Bake at around 200 degrees C for 10 minutes or until golden (or 5 minutes in a ridiculously hot Billy can oven if you like them charred)

    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.

    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 😀
