My granddaughter and I do nature cooks here on the farm. Last Christmas I gave her a onetigris twig stove and we have had two or three cooks so far. She got very excited when she saw yours in action. I look to you for cook ideas. Thanks for your videos, I enjoy them immensely.

Wow! That looks fantastic. Going to do this one. Thank you.

thanks for the recipe. Thoughts and ideas, you could invert the lid and add coals to the top. You could also place / wedge a wine cork cross ways through the pot lid handle. then you could pinch it without getting burned when the lid is hot. I see some cooks doing this online. cheers roger

Looked great, like you said you need some top heat for growing the mash. Thanks for the video

Looks great, good info

Gday Chris. Wonderful videos. Ive just subscribed to your channel. In the years watching and searching out videos like yours i cant believe you never came up in my recommended. But ive found your channel now and look forward to watching them. I particularly like the mess tin playlist. I get a great deal of nostalgia see cooking on ally mess tins. Ive swaped mine out for stainless steel dutch army ones, i got a bit hung up on the altzimer link to soft alu. Sure the microscopic amount of alu is just my paranoia running away. Balancing cooking on open flame and alu is quite a knack. Recon youve nailed it. keep the vids comming please. cheers

Cool! That is what we call a Shepard's Pie here in Nova Scotia and most places here in Canada. Always wondered how that would work...a nice homemade oven! What a great location too! Isn't it true, so many seem to think they leave their mark by chopping or carving and leaving stuff everywhere. Usually take a bag with me and haul out what I can. Take great care out there and continue these great adventures! Bruce and Otis

Another beautiful spot you found there Chris and lovely to see evidence of the beavers. Did you see any? Totally agree with your comments about people disrespecting our natural world so thanks for doing your bit!

I usually use a petromax ft1 for stuff like this, nice 1 liter dutch oven makes a great 1 man shepherds/cottage pie (as well as plenty of other things) and well worth the extra weight in my opinion.

Great video, very fun. As a conservation/environmental planner by trade (in the US) I greatly appreciate your message today, thanks and stay in peace✌

Absolutely delicious and mouth-watering dessert

looked good i've gotta try that

Hi Chris hope you're keeping well. You look like you've been having some quality time out and the cooking looks delicious as always 😋.. Shame about the idiots that leave the rubbish behind. Just watched your other one too. Loved the birds and beaver. Brilliant 👏👏👍

One long, lingering look at that delicious pie in the thumbnail and I immediately subscribed to what I believe to be an excellent channel. Now, I shall watch more of that pie... What an appreciative eye you have for the natural beauty of your surroundings, which you recorded beautifully. That meal looked absolutely fantastic, and utterly incomparable to a freeze dried bag meal. I suspect that I'd have to take the ingredients with me otherwise the pre-prepared meal may never have survived to accompany me outdoors. Eating real food is particularly beneficial outdoors and actually enjoyable to prepare (I take my outdoor kitchen seriously). Nice thing about cooking over an open fire or twig stove is that fuel is plentiful. Thank you for sharing this lovely video.

Good simple food in a beautiful space (despite the rubbish left by scum!). Maybe you could get the oven effect by placing the smaller mess tin on a bed of embers and use the larger one inverted as a lid covered in embers, or as a lid filled with embers. Good luck with your future experiments.

Very tasty. It reduced off perfectly. Nice medium dry consistency inside the way it should be.

Impressed you managed to transport it without spilling it lol

I was a little confused when you said you were camping in Scotland - you sound more like one of our cousins from across the ditch! You may want to try a small trivet inside your larger pot to keep the mess tin off the bottom - I use a small one I made for a Dutch oven to bake in. Cheers from Australia.

Agree ugh I get really peeved when people leave their trash! We have only one “Hiking” trail here in my little town and the entrance has a big dumpster for trash yet people are too lazy to do so. The last time I was there with my dog we cleaned up a tree that someone had decorated with empty soda cans 😡 so annoying I can’t stand litter bugs!

I just finished a good WWI recipe... Corned Willy! Fixed it in a pie tin, turned out fine! Now off to find that Bill Mauldin cartoon about it!

Just a tip, use a wooden or silicone spoon to prepare the food, the way you are doing it you are certainly contaminating the food with aluminum, which causes a series of health problems. Aluminum is a very soft metal, scraping it with a steel cutlery releases small aluminum particles that, when ingested, remain in the human body forever, this is metal contamination. Aluminum is very dangerous as the particles do not corrode over time, and tend to lodge in the brain. These lunch boxes are used by the armed forces to heat water and freeze-dried food bags, not to cook directly in them. Anyway, I really like your videos, congratulations

Delicious looking experiment Chris. You really put the effort in for that meal. I bet the leftovers (if indeed you left any!😉 ) would be tasty cold too if you were off on a hike after. I don't understand the mentality to seek out a pristine place, and then leave it in a mess. Good practical ideas for an excellent meal there, cheers.

That was a very successful cook Chris 👌. Looked great to me. Never tried baked beans in my cottage pie before but I will now. Noted some beaver activity at the Loch too. Did you have any sightings? As for the litter louts, well let's just say it really makes my piss itch 😡😡. When will folk learn. Take care buddy and thanks for sharing another fantastic recipe with us. Atb, J 👍.
