Welcome back! We are often out birdwatching when I’m cooking outdoors these days- all I will say is that you haven’t seen envious faces until you’re cooking up a bacon sarnie on the side of the road/ in a nature reserve car park, on a cold winters day! Added bonus is brewing up a cup of tea- no stewed teabags here!I think even using kit to make a brew helps get confident in your kits capability. I think the big thing that put me off in the beginning is how to store ingredients safely until use.

This is brilliant. And yes. Just making a cuppa can boost confidence using stoves. That’s a great tip!! Keeping it simple is often the best way. As you’ll see when you reeeally look at what I do it’s all ‘simple’. My old head chef told me once ‘cooking is just heating stuff to the right temperature, everything else is faff’

Hi Tom, welcome back 👍Brilliant, sensible advice for cooking in the great outdoors. Can't beat it and the food always tastes so much better ! One other useful tip would be a checklist to make sure you've remembered all your stuff before you go. Even some of us who've been doing this for a few years can forget an essential item......having made that very mistake last week on an afternoon trip for a tea and a cook up in my local woods. All set up, stove out, filled it with meths and lit up........and then realised I'd forgotten my Stanley cookpot and cups to boil my water make my tea and then some noodles🤣. All part of the fun but it was nice just to chill out and explore for a couple of hours before the rain started. I did find a new spot to hang my hammock on the next visit though, so all was not lost. ATVB from a Brit expat now living in a very warm but very wet Malaysia😎🌪🤘🇲🇾

Aaah the checklist. I forgot to mention the checklist! Great suggestion. I even have a checklist in my OTBP cookbook. I’ve been there before. And last year I watched a family arrive. Set up tables. Get the bbq going. Open the cool box and realise they’d forgotten all the food! Malaysia indeed! Thanks for watching from that wonderful corner of the world.

Once I'd bought my trangia mini i did cook on it in the garden, after having watched a bunch of your videos. Due to the small size of the mini, and the restrictions of being outdoors, I have been watching 1 pot meal videos which are great for ideas and can be tailored for outdoor cooking. The pot on the mini is just big enough to make a good meal for 1, I look forward to doing more this year, and watching more of your videos as they come, thank you

It’s great to practice in the garden and getting ideas from one pot meal recipes is a fantastic method of learning. Thanks for saying hi, As ever let me know how your meals are coming along. My next one I’m very excited about. I’m even trying out a new cookset!

Hi, good advice there. Especially 2nd way of lighting stove/fire. Firesteel & matches for me along with a few hexamine solid fuel tabs in a small screw top plastic tub. Stove type could depend on fire bans etc too. Thanks for sharing.

Thanks mate. The stairs were particularly busy on that day! Hence all the hard cuts. As for cooking. It’s coming! There will be a few more from the studio until I manage to get the next one under way. But it will be worth the wait! Unless I balls it up.

Hi Tom, thanks for this and all your other videos, they are giving me confidence to cook whilst camping. The link to the UK page of the frying pan does not link to an active shop page, can you fix also are there other larger frying pans you have used or could suggest? Many thanks.

Hi Mike, Thank you for taking the time to comment. I shall fix the link asap. Another great and larger pan is the MSR skillet and sea to summit to one as well. I’m pleased you’re finding some confidence to cook outdoors. Please just ask away if you have any questions.
