UK Woodland Hammock Camping | Cooking Over A Dakota Fire Hole | Flint And Steel Fire
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 22 янв 2025
- In this video I head off to a fairly local woodland, where I set up my DD Superlight Frontline Hammock and attached an American Poncho Liner as a summer underquilt.
I also dug a Dakota Fire Hole in an effort to lower my profile, which I lighted using my flint and steel to ignite a tinder bundle of dead pine needles.
I cooked up a tin of chilli with some Mexican spicy rice and for breakfast, one of my favourite camping foods; bacon and eggs.
I Hope that you enjoy the video and if so please don't forget to give it a like, share or even consider subscribing, if you are new to the channel.
Many thanks as always everyone, for all of your support.
Cheers, J.

Lovely camp there mate , nice skills with the fire . Cant beat bacon n eggs either 👍 lovely jubbly
Cheers Mark 👍. I really appreciate that mate. Yeah, bacon and eggs are definitely one of my favourite camping breakfasts 🥓🍳. Hope to see you out again soon buddy. Atb, J 👍.
No worries mate , enjoyed it . Yep hopefully of for a wander and camp this weekend all being well 🤞 Take care of you and yours fella 👍
@@treksntarps Nice one 👍. You to mate.
Ok China. That's me all up to date on your vids and channel. It's a yes from me, new sub and enjoying the content. Great to see an old school bushman channel again, not an excuse for prop or merchandise marketing or a million ways to cook on a sodding rock or how to build yet another bush shelter. This is a proper bushman channel, no BS and practical. Looking forward to following your journey. Well done for all the work hitherto. Now, I will sound like a thicky but I don't know the reason, so ill ask the question. These Dakota pits, whats the reason for them?, low signature, sneaky beaky camping or slow fuel burning or what?. Scoff was epic as usual. Cheers china, check you.
Ah! Moose. What a wonderful comment. Like I said, it really means a lot to me. Cheers bro. You basically answered your own question regarding the Dakota fire hole. They are very efficient at burning a limited amount of fuel and do offer a more stealthy option for having a campfire, which is why I chose to do one for this location. I've really enjoyed chatting with you today mate and hopefully I'll look forward to more in the future. Take care buddy and I hope that your fighting fit again soon. Cheers, J 🍻👍.
@@SandybackOutdoors Thanks for the answer amigo, I thought as much. Clever little Indians hey.
Great video, success, beautiful channel, best channel
Jason like the last commenter I enjoy the simplicity of your videos they are well produced and unpretentious. Just a fellow enjoying some time enjoying nature. Thanks Roger, Australia.
Cheers Roger 👍. I really appreciate that. Love a bit of nature's therapy. Always come home feeling recharged again. Many thanks for watching and commenting my friend. I hope that your out of lockdown and managing to back out again. Atb, J 👍.
Yet another good video. We'll done and keep them coming
Cheers Stephen, I really appreciate that mate. Atb, J 👍.
I love a good hammock wild camp! Great fire hole, very good idea so you don’t destroy too much of the surrounding area. Can’t wait to see more of your videos
Thank you very much for the lovely comment Beth, I really do appreciate it. You look like you have some really interesting content on your channel. I'll check out some of your videos over the weekend. Atb, J 👍.
Hello. Thanks for the master class on making a fire, I will try too
Many thanks again my friend. It's a great method to use if you need to be a little more stealthy or have limited resources or in a location where you need to contain your 🔥 👍.
Big like and greetings from Denmark 💚💚💚
Thank you very much my friend. I really appreciate that. Cheers, J 👍
Good video, looks a decent spot to camp. Liked the Dakota fire pit. Keep meaning to try one so next time out I will👍
Thank you Stepan 👍. You should definitely try one. They are really efficient whilst using up minimal fuel. Many thanks for watching and commenting buddy. Atb, J 👍.
This is the first vid I've seen of someone prepping that type of fire pit. I'd love to try it but I'm always in pine woods 👀
Great stuff lighting the fire with the flint.
Cheers Sandy
Atb Mike.
Hey, thanks Mike 👍. I get what you mean about campfires in pine forests. I'll sometimes use the bushbox or the trangia in the forest. Still amazed about how much scarring I see from open fires in pine forests. Hope that your keeping well buddy and I'll look forward to seeing you soon. Atvb, J 👍.
Nice and neat Jason. Nothing complicated but worth every moment. That fire hole was a bit of a workhorse but by all accounts it wasn't even there. Lovely job. Mark
Thank you Mark for such a lovely comment 👍. I think, that is exactly what the majority of us try to achieve by enjoying these wonderful places, by leaving them as we found them. In some cases, even better than we found them. Many thanks again Mark. I hope that you are keeping well my friend. Atvb, J 👍.
@@SandybackOutdoors A pleasure Jason. It was a lovely setting mate and hey setup. Yes, in some cases leaving places in better condition - done it many times and feel satisfied every time. I'm getting on thanks. An awesome swim today. Peace!
Great video Jason, I like the idea of the Dakota fire pit, I guess it is pretty useful in a windy situation.
Cheers Trev 👍. They definitely do have a place that's for sure. I was trying to reduce the beacon effect of my campfire, as I was reasonably close to a couple of public bridleways. I thought that it worked quite well and was a pleasure to cook over. Take care buddy. Atb, J 👍.
Nice video Jason! that is a lovely piece of woodland and good job with the Dakota fire pit, worked a treat!
take care, Paul.
Thank you Paul 👍. The Dakota fire hole was great. It definitely took a bit longer to get my tinder bundle to ignite than yours mate. Could have done with some of those off loch shore winds to assist 😁. Loving the locations that you get to enjoy. Not envious at all, lol. Looking forward to watching your next adventure pal. Take care. Atb, J 👍.
@@SandybackOutdoors cheers J
Probably could of just held my bundle in the air that day 😂
Robert said come and have a look.
Hi Les, welcome buddy. I hope that you enjoy the content. All comments and feedback greatly appreciated. Atb, J 👍.
this video is very nice!! Thank you for sharing. Hi, it's nice to meet you, your new friend here. Greetings from California
Thank you guys, I really appreciate that 👍. Crazy, I just noticed that your latest video is of Mission Bay, San Diego. I remember drinking in a bar there called Chillers in the early nineties. Happy days indeed. Atb, J 👍.
@@SandybackOutdoors hihi that's a nice memory 😃 I live in San Diego.
Cracking camp mate , would love to try that dakota fire pit sometime 🔥 I love doing that myself, one brown sauce one red sauce on the breakfast barms , all the best 👍
Cheers Gaz 👍. You could definitely cook up a belter of a stir fry over one of those. Hope that you have a good weekend mate. Atb, J 👍.
That dakota fire pit was working perfectly until you threw the Bacon on, sure fire way to attract the local game keeper is a bacon and egg sarnie!!
Ha ha, cheers James. Yeah I'm a sucker for a bit of bacon and egg in the woods. Can't beat it 👍
Ha 🤪I almost felt out of breath myself when you were getting that ember to catch. Good job though, nice fire!
I'm going to try a bit of hammock camping myself soon. I've bought the DD Fontline. I'm aiming for October time.
As always, nice vid.
Jonathan
Ha ha 🤪😤 totally Johnathan 👍. Yeah, I think that it's important to show realistically that it's doesn't always happen instantly, as if by magic. I'm sure you'll love the hammock. So comfy and I'm a side sleeper. Brilliant bit of kit. Many thanks, as always mate. Cheers, J 👍.
Awesome video
Cheers Dave. I really appreciate that buddy 👍.
@@SandybackOutdoors my pleasure- drop by my channel for a visit
Great job J and a quality film. Really good mate, really enjoyed it. No bullshit, just proper good woodsman stuff. I love a good Dekota fire and you did a mint job of it and of clearing it up too.
The evenings fire took some blowing into action which is often the case with this method. My mrs was in the kitchen and thought I was blowing my thermorest up int front room lol.
Brilliant film Jason, no messing, just top content
Atb fella
Rick n Billy
Ah! Cheers Rick, I really appreciate that mate 👍. What a mint comment. Lol, about the thermorest. Definitely easier ways of getting your fire started but where's the fun in that. Will definitely have to get a date sorted for a trip after you get back from Scotland mate. Many thanks as always Rick. Atvb, J 👍.
@@SandybackOutdoors definitely J, have a top Sunday fella 👍
@@RickTOutdoorAdventure1969 Cheers Rick, you too mate 👍.
Hey bud, that dakota fire hole is great for cooking over eh, especially bacon and eggs & rolls for breakfast, good setup again, I like the triangle shape for the tarp setup. Love the sandy banks with deer tracks and other animals. Hp sauce versus tomato...who wins...
Hi Chris, the Dakota fire hole worked a treat 🔥. I saw 4 or 5 deer race through one of the wheat fields but unfortunately the gopro just isn't up to the job for capturing any decent footage of the wildlife. Red or brown, now there's a conundrum. If I were pushed into choosing, it would have to be brown for bacon and red for sausages. I'm a bit complicated like that 🤪🤪. Many thanks, as always buddy. Cheers, J 👍.
@@SandybackOutdoors Lol, red or brown so you choose both with different meats to worm your way out of a tough choice😎. I like it!...Very diplomatic! I have a gopro and it's rubbish, a cheap one, doesn't even record sound when the plastic thing is on. One day you'll get that unexpected footage and it's always a great moment. Cheers bud.
@@northernembersoutdoors1045 Ha ha, yeah I do genuinely have my preferences, lol. Always good to mix it up a bit 😉. Hoping your right about managing to capture some great wildlife footage. It's such a magical moment to witness but would be even better to be able to share it.
All good stuff there Mukka. Any particular reason you swapped out the grill stand for wooden slats? I have the same reluctance with my local streams as too many Pesticides, Nitrates and Nitrites running off the fields into the water source. I'm down in the Rhodope Mountains at the moment, not far from the Greek Border where Bears and Wolves still roam (I ain't seen any), but the water just bubbles up out of the ground and is cold and clean to drink without any preparation. Very diplomatic with having both a Red & Brown ketchups on your Banjo's. Stops a lot of debate and argument amongst the Troops does that. 😉👍🤷♂️😁
Hi Robert, I wanted to show a couple of different methods of cooking over the fire hole. I was going to rig up a quick lash tripod as well but decided to leave it for another time. The mountain range where you are looks absolutely stunning. Are you camping out? Ah! the old red or brown debate. Always guaranteed to create a conversation. Luckily I genuinely enjoy both. No brainer for me really. Anyway Mukka, take care in the mountains and I hope that your getting some great footage too. Atvb, J 👍.
@@SandybackOutdoors No Mate, staying in an apartment and have been making daily excursions into the surrounding Mountains. It is only a 4 day short break and I should have left today, but my Propshaft is fooked and tomorrow I will get get the vehicle evacuated 100 kilometers away to a VW Main Stealer for repairs. I've already sent the Wife back by Train as someone needs to be there to look after the animals as our friend has to go back to his own work tomorrow. Win some, lose some.
@@RobertsBulgaria Sods law Robert. I hope that you at least got to enjoy the mountains. It really does look like an amazing area.
Howdy Roberto. So, I followed your advice and gave your oak the afternoon to show me what he has to offer on his channel. Great recommendation china, loved the vids so far, deserves a lot more views TBH but YT being the product placement slag it is, no surprise hey. So sub'd and lets see where his journey takes us. Now time for a brew. Cheers lads.
@@MOOSEDOWNUNDER You're most welcome and Sandy would be in my Trench - I need someone to hold the fort whilst I'm off to the NAAFI in search of Beer. 😜
Cracking video J looks like a good woods to camp in not done a dekota fire pit for ages were they tent pegs on ya grill atvb jimmy 😎😎👍👍
Cheers Jimmy 👍. Spot on mate. Yeah, it's a bit of a homemade thing with tent pegs. Works a treat on a open fire. Thanks for watching buddy. Atvb, J 👍.
