My husband, Ernie, was forced to retire about 3 years ago due to congestive heart failure. When he found your videos (and a few others) he was hooked. We watched them all til we had to wait for new ones. He passed away last night. I just want you to know how much pleasure your videos brought him in his last days. Thank you.

Kent Mate, as an old Aussie Bush Cook, I can tell you for true that chucking in a handful of dried mixed fruit in your damper is bloody AWESOME! Nothing wrong with using the Old Canned Cow either, I use powdered milk in a dry mix (for bushwalking), but if you have the carry space for the cow - go for it.

Mister Rollins, I don't know where else I could contact you to say this, but I just wanna say thank you... I haven't really watched your stuff, but my dad loved to watch your videos and try out your recipes and advice himself... He'd been borderline bed-ridden for the last couple years and you were the only thing I saw him watching on the Roku [Internet access on TV] aside from his own nephew's fishing show. Several times in the last couple months I helped him go through trying some out, and they were some of the last times I got to do anything 'with' him before he died last night... He can't thank you for your content now, So I thought that I would come around to do it for him...

Hi Kent. Really appreciate that you shouted out to us “Down Under” and still love the way you pay tribute to Veterans. I’m ex-army and was privileged to serve with US troops in Iraq. I love that our great nations share such a bond. The other suggestions with damper - wrapping the dough in greased/floured alfoil can reduce burning when cooking in the ashes. The other method (especially when outdoors with the kids) was to twist a strand of dough on a thick stick and roast it over the coals. God bless you all.

As Neil said, I grew up cooking damper with my dad on our farm, we used foil and made it thicker. Works well with some jam and tea

In South Africa us outdoors people called this "campfire ash bread" Made it with water instead of milk. It lasted longer. If we added a bit of sugar and milk it came out more biscuit like. The bread with everything in it makes good outdoor sandwiches with coffee. And it it doesnt get soggy in the heat of the day like a normal sandwich would. It is always good. You can make it same way with 50% flour and 50% cornmeel. Gives a more filling bread. Fill it with a tin of creamy sweetcorn and you have a wow meal. You should try it. Keep on keeping on Heads up Eyes open No fear

When I was working in Australia in the seventies, damper was just bread made without yeast. The Aussies just mixed flour with a bottle of beer. Mostly cooked in camp ovens, cast iron. Most of us were more interested in the meat and potato stew. Damper was ok, but most good cooks made yeast bread.

Your post this time reminded me of when I married into a pioneer family of Arizona. I was extremely lucky to be "adopted" by a man that was an Outdoor Writer for the newspaper that was my wife's uncle and a very long time Arizonan. He had outlived his hunting and fishing friends when I came along. I became his hunting and fishing buddy and the wealth of knowledge I gained was incredible. He told me about when he was growing up in the 1930's his family (before ice/refrigeration in the arid Southwest in homes) they would "fry down" meat. Basically fry the meat, pour fat off it in a barrel , and drop the meat in it the barrel. They would repeat that process until the barrel was full. The meat was "sealed" in the fat and would delay the spoiling of the meat, I've never heard of that process since. He worked as a mule skinner in the Oklahoma oilfields as a youth and I so wish I would have recorded his stories

I remember making damper when I used to go camping as a kid. One of the recipes we'd use was rolling the damper into a thin roll about as round as your pinkie, flattening it slightly then coiling it into a cone, placing it upsidedown on a stick and slowly cooking it over the camp fire. You then filled the cone with dried fruit and either honey or more commonly golden syrup (which is a thick, golden sugar syrup).

Usually, in my view, we either cook damper in a camp oven or in smaller batches spread over the end of a stick (which is then cooked over the open fire (not in it)). When cooked eat with golden syrup or butter.

As an Aussie I can tell you Kent that for your 1st try, you pretty much nailed it. I'd love to see you make an Aussie burger. There's 100's of vids about them if you want to research but the ingredients are as follows and in order of how they should be placed from the bottom bun up. Iceberg lettuce, tomato, meat pattie, tinned beetroot, bacon, fried or bbq onions, choice of ketchup or bbq sauce, American cheese, fried egg (preferably with runny yolk) and a fried /bbq pineapple ring. Feel free to frisbee the pineapple as far away from you as you can git it as most of us Aussies will have that burger without it but it is part of the original burger recipe so perhaps make a few. cheers ole mate.
