Steak and Eggs in the Woods. Raised Sleeping Platform. Diagonal Lean-to Tarp Setup.

- Опубликовано: 9 фев 2025
- In this video I make a raised bed in the woods, I put up a lean-to tarp shelter in a diagonal 'Lone Wolf' style and cook up some steak and eggs for breakfast. I steam the eggs in my Zebra Billy and cook my steak straight on the embers - true Bushcraft style!! I hope you enjoy and thanks for watching!
I've not seen eggs cooked like that, looked lovely, I'm with you on the ribeye, delicious cut of meat. Slowly going through your back catalogue of videos, what's noticeable is that many RUclipsrs first videos aren't quite as good as their latest videos, as they learn and improve, with you, you just hit the ground running and everything I have watched has been nothing but pure quality, really enjoyable content. I learn from you, so the fire you had in the pine wood was perfectly prepared. Thanks.
I must be getting desperate for a Simon video I am watching all the old ones again I watched years ago lol 😂
same lol
This is a fantastic video! I love the very subtle humour throughout. Thanks Simon
Another great video Simon! Several Bushcrafters here in the States will heat rocks around the fire and roll them under the raised bed as a source of heat underneath. They will also heat them in the fire and bury them along where they intend to lay if on the ground (Bivy, bedrolls etc.) Raised beds rock! Especially good after warm winters and an explosive tick season. Great skill to have.
Gonna hit the woods this weekend & try this 👍🤘
Wonderful place I like this video good job brother 👍
Hi Simon, great video as ever mate, we used to have an egg carrier when we used to go camping way back in the 70's, really miss camping.
Love your videos and I hope Maggie is ok and doing better.
That bed is cool!
Love this channel Simon no b s and love the dog
Awesome meal
Ive not seen eggs done that way or steak chucked on the fire😅 looked good
iI LOVE MAGGIE SHE IS A BEAUTIFUL DOG AND COMPANION
Nice video, thanks for taking us along
Cheers! Thanks for watching! Atb, Simon.
That Steak was still Moooing ! Good set up mate. Glad Maggs is on the mend.
Hahaha! Wipe its arse and drag it through the kitchen! Cheers Johnny! Atb mate.
Iam a new sub and have been binge watching for two days. I am on annual leave so thankyou for entertaining me. Love your channel you are a star xxx
A grand video, nice shelter.
Good luck with your Bushcraft Trial!
All the best,
Al
Cheers Al, glad you enjoyed it - it’s a good shelter setup, looking forward to spending a night in it soon! Atb, Simon.
Cool tarp and egg transport device. Thanks
Ive used cedar and pine branches , under a thick cedar ive cut almost off , about waist high , made cedar shelter , out hunting at night , when the dogs couldn't be heard , sometimes id awake with all my dogs under the shelter with me . Never had a light tarp to carry on night hunting trips .
I'd give this one two thumbs up if I could. Nice one Simon!!!!
Well done Simon I found this very entertaining and useful. Brilliant idea to have the airflow beneath the logs, simple and practical. The steak looked delicious but I would have liked mushrooms, peas, onion rings and chips, plus ketchup! Yes I know it was your breakfast but what the heck. Really looking forward to your course and hope you have time to make a short film of it. Wish Maggie better for me, it’s no fun being ill. ⛺️
Thanks Mike! A man after my own heart! And of course a nice pint of Abbott to wash it all down! Maggie is well on the mend, poor thing! Cheers and Atb, Simon.
Great set up, good luck on the challenge, hope the weather is in your favour.
Cheers Martin! I’m actually hoping it gets a bit colder, and some snow would be nice too - that would make it a winter challenge proper! Atb mate, Simon.
Why is it, when I watch and listen to this, do I think of Les Hindes, the "Bushtucker Man" ?? Another excellent video Simon.
Drew B I still watch the Bush Tucker Man on RUclips every now & then 👍
That's cool, also preferred ribeye for the the past 50 years or so. Nice to see a pre lockdown video, relaxing break from the CRA here in the states.
Rock on dude! You know how how to cook steak perfectly!
Cheers Paul! Wipe its ar@e and drag it through the kitchen! Atb, Simon.
A man after my own heart! Once it stops to moo, it's cooked!! Take care Simon, thanks for the awesome vids!
Great video Simon and shelter setup. Trust Maggie is feeling better, good job she missed the steak perhaps. Our older terrier has also to go on a special diet recommended by the vet of just any fish with potato or sweet potato which has given her a whole new lease of life. ALB
Interesting video. I like the way you cooked that steak!
Thanks Stefan - steak cooked straight on the coals is one of my favs! Nice charry taste. Cheers, Simon.
I'm loving your videos Simon. Thanks for this. Great diagonal lean-to tarp setup.
Thank you Jason! I’ve been watching your stunningly shot and professionally produced videos for years, so that really does mean the world to me!! 😁 I really like this tarp setup too, seems to offer good protection as long as it’s set up with the prevailing wind blowing from behind - I’m looking forward to a night out in it to test it out!! Cheers and Atb, Simon.
Bahh. "stunningly shot and professionally produced videos"... I just have the desire to produce and the tenacity to not care if my work sucks.
Keep them coming Simon.
Good luck on your challenge stay safe, Cheers!
Great setup
great bed idea too so solid!! you could leave that in situ come back to it!!
That’s the plan, I’ve left it set up for future use. 👍
Great video; I love the 3D printed egg box with glow in the dark egg supports. Ideal for a late breakfast when the cooking is finished after sunset!
Nice set up, enjoyed the video, enjoy next week !
Cheers Chris! It’s a good setup with lots of cover, I’ll definitely be trying it out for an overnighter. Atb, Simon.
nice one Simon good set up enjoy yourself next week
Thanks Alan! Can’t wait! Shame I can’t take my tarp with me!! Atb, Simon.
Great tarp set up,nicely done
Steak looks delicious,breakfast for champions
Atb
Steve
Oh yes! A breakfast indeed!! Cheers Steve - the tarp setup is really good, loads of cover, loads of storage space!
Atb Simon.
Really enjoyed this and first time I have seen a steak cooked that way 👍
Thank you! It’s the best way to cook a steak! 😋👍
Nice setup Simon!!!!! Enjoy your challenge :) Jay
Cheers Jay! Glad you liked it - it’s a really good, spacious setup with loads of cover! Perfect for woodland. Atb, Simon.
Another cracking film Simon, thank you, I enjoyed it a great deal. It’s so nice watching someone make something disposable with a level of craftsmanship. Very satisfying. Next time you do eggs like that, please could you show the results, I never would have thought of it.
Best wishes, Andy.
Cheers Andy, glad you enjoyed mate! Sorry about the lack of egg footage - I was still recovering from smoke-eye!! Next time! Atb, Simon.
Very fine piece of bushcraft, Simon. Well done.
Thank you! 😁
Another great video #Simon. Good luck on the Bushcraft Challenge
Thank you buddy and thank you!! 👍
Steak n eggs in the woods.. a hearty breakfast & one of my faves!
Inspirational video mate, I can see a night in the woods with a good steak in my near future 👍
Cheers! Steak in the woods - can’t beat it!! Atb, Simon.
I realy like your cooking vids. Keep up the good work!👍
Cheers! I enjoyed making this one! Better than the Dandelion coffee, hahaha! Atb, Simon.
Hey mate, nice video Simon, I was at my tent yesterday and spent the night. Was -2c yesterday when I got there and -17c this morning, -24c with windchill, coldest the tent got to between stove fill ups was 5c, hottest was 32c.....keep those videos rollin. Cheers Fred
Cheers Fred! The stove is doing its job well then! 32c - I bet you wished you were outside!! Cheers buddy! Simon.
Another cracking video and a great setup with defo have to try this out. Hope Maggie feels better soon.
Cheers Rob, it’s a good configuration - easy and quick to set up, lots of cover and shelter from the sides too. Maggie is much better now - she’s a resilient beast! Atb mate, Simon.
Really nice video !
Thank you! It’s a really good tarp configuration - lots of cover and excellent visibility. Atb, Simon
Excellent video, mate! Airplanes and gunfire!! haha! Conditions are never ideal. Great tarp and bed set up. Think I'll do the same this spring. Cheers!
thats a nice setup
Ahoy Simon. I am glad that you like the tarp setup so much. It is also one of my favorite setups. I wonder how the first night will be on your trapper bed ;-) Otherwise, I wish you much fun at the survival training and thank you for calling my channel. Greetings from Germany, Azze
My pleasure Azze! Yes, I really like that setup - lots of cover. Hopefully I’ll have a night on the bed in a few weeks time, I think it will be quite comfortable. Thanks again! Atb, Simon.
Just watched your video. Done very well except for one thing, YOUR STEAK! Lol. I would need to cook it just a bit more. I hope Maggie feels better and has a speedy recovery. Here at my end I bit of snow and it’s about 15 degrees Fahrenheit and a windchill that’s making it feel like five below. Weekend is here and the wife and I are heading North to the coast of New Hampshire. Looking forward to your next video. Thank you.
Cheers Douglas! Yes, I do like my steak still mooing! Hope you have a great time in New Hampshire. Atb,Simon.
Nice. Like the tarp configuration. And the jet over flight. ....lol
Hahaha! Yeah, that was a real treat! The tarp setup is really good - loads of cover and wind protection from the sides. 👍 cheers, Simon.
Excellent shelter setup!!
Thanks! great coverage and lots of storage, without compromising the view! Atb, Simon
Like the tarp set up Simon. Bed looks supportive. Jets and gunfire.....must be near somewhere beginning with L.
Haha - not a million miles away!
Cheers Jeremy!
Hi nice to see you again! Love your videos 😍!
First video ive seen of yours, great stuff!
Thanks Richard, glad you stumbled across the channel! Atb, Simon.
Hi Si. Love the quick setup of the camp. I can't wait to go tarping next. Thanks Mate and Keep Well.
the footage was speeded up
Hi Simon, just found your videos. Greatly appreciated and interesting. Enjoying what God has given us is humbling. Enjoy while it is still here. Thank you.
Thanks Scott! Glad you enjoyed it and welcome to the channel! Atb, Simon
Like the tarp set up good video mate atb jimmy 😎😎
Cheers Jimmy! It provides loads of space - looking forward to trying it for an overnighter. Atb, Simon.
Yup, nice camp!...camp bed looks good... thats how i like my steak as well...makes the missus cringe! lol
Here's to Maggie....Have fun on your challenge Simon...woods
Hahaha - mine too, mind you she’s a vegetarian! (Silly woman!!) cheers buddy! Atb, Simon.
Sweet vid, mate! Thanks for sharing.
Cheers! Thanks for watching! Atb, Simon.
It’s so cool that you can shift your voice to sound like a jetliner. Very talented indeed!
😂😂😂
Nice looking area for a camp, thanks for sharing
It’s a nice spot, close to where I live. I’ve camped there a few times lots of wildlife!
Good video! I like the idea of a day-trip recce in prep for a longer stay.
You seem like a very lovely man! I love your videos :)) make me wanna wander deep into the woods
Thank you!! There is a powerful peace that you can only find deep in the woods - it is my reset button from the hectic modern world! 🙂🌳🌲🍂🌱
Simon your videos are awesome. If you ever make it to the pacific northwest I would love to join you for a cup.
nice timber processing!!
looks very very comfortable
nice tarp configuration!
is all you need in that wooded enviro i find tarps work best in the woods tents work.best out in the wide open!!
Definitely agree, tarp in the woods - always!
Really great little film and you're wearing the exact same winter kit as me lol. Great Jacket. I hammer mine in the winter 🖒. I've never used this tarp configuration with my raised beds but I will be in the near future ☺. Silky skills as well, everything nicely done in a calm organised and skilful manner . Good to watch 🖒🔥🌲
Thanks Rick - great minds think alike! They are great jackets - I’ve had buffalo special 6 shirts in the past, but much prefer the Montane! The tarp setup is really good, plenty of protection and room. Really glad you enjoyed the video buddy, Atb, Simon.
Looks like and sounds like A11 Thetford. With the American airbase. Lakenheath.
But as I’m in Northumberland only second guessing Great Vid as always. Wish I’d got to meet up when I was in North Norfolk!
Cheers Michael - it’s not too far away, a few miles further east than Thetford and the USAF bases, although, the jets almost certainly came from one of them!
When did you move up to Northumberland? Love it up there - gorgeous stretch of coastline. Atb, Simon.
Simon, we moved 24/1/2018 we’re in Amble by the Sea
Sweet setup, really cool A-frame front support. Good video, good job.
Thanks Harvey! 👍
Good video 👍
Thanks Kenneth - glad you enjoyed it! Atb, Simon
haha ;) airplanes get me too buddy! great shelter & camp
Liking that setup Simon 👍🏼 great video
Thanks buddy - it gives loads of cover without compromising the view! Atb, Simon
Another nice video Simon. The steak and eggs were mouth watering! Shame you had to point out that you weren't cutting down any living trees. As long as we ensure that we plant more trees than we fell it really isn't a problem.
Cool setup, I will definitely try this :P
Cheers Harry - it’s a good configuration - lots of space and a good amount of protection from the wind and rain! Atb, Simon.
Nice raised bed 👍
BR...Sheila
Thanks Sheila - makes a big difference to warmth and comfort! Atb, Simon.
totally with you on ribeye! and that is the fanciest egg carrier I have ever seen! :) great video matey - bed looked very sturdy
oh and good luck on the challenge!
Cheers Andy! I think it’s the fat running through it - that’s where the flavour is! Can’t understand people who cut the fat off!??! Looking forward to a night out to try that bed out!! Zzzzzzzz (hopefully!) Atb, Simon.
Hi Simon loving the video's sat here and watched 10 or so on the bounce. Brilliant :-) Dave :-)
Thanks Dave! Really glad you are enjoying them! Atb, Simon.
Great videos Simon, useful information, and looks like your are enjoying it.
A good forest, a good bench!
Cheers! I’m really lucky, the woodland is only 20 minutes from home - a nice spot to escape to! Atb, Simon.
yet again another great video bro very simple and well crafted im going to steel the idea from you for the land I just purchased for my pop and I to do some bushcrafting thanks again bro keep up the great videos love watching what you do
Thanks Eric, sounds exciting! One day I’ll have a bit of land of my own. Good luck with the camp! Atb, Simon.
The bed is a great idea.
What a perfect camp!i I like the use of the poles for the main structure!!
Enjoyed this tremendously! Take care
Subbed
Shane
Cheers Shane and thanks for the sub! 👍 Atb, Simon.
One of my favourite tarp set ups. If you are a fan of that you should check out vihe vaellus loue, or even better ( if you aren't bothered about weight) a finnrover loue. I use mine every day for work. A few more peg out points but makes a solid shelter.
Thank you Ian - I will indeed take a look! 👍 Atb, Simon.
sweet tarp set up!
Thanks Walter and thanks for watching! Atb, Simon.
Nice. Hope Maggie is good already.
I enjoyed this video🎥 I was wondering where Maggie 🐶 was. Sorry to hear she is under the weather. I'm hoping you Well on the Bushcraft Challenge. Good Luck🤞to Ya‼
Thanks Danny! Maggie is definitely on the mend and I think she has forgiven me for good no out without her! She is curled up by my feet as I type! Can’t wait for the challenge! Atb, Simon.
Great Video....Thanks
Thanks - glad you enjoyed it! Atb, Simon.
Good job.
Thank you Darren! Atb, Simon.
You remembered the tea bags this time. No nettle tea required.
😂😂😂
Thanks Simon.
Cheers Robert! Always a pleasure! Atb, Simon.
Good luck on your challenge.
Thanks Travis! Atb, Simon.
Nice tarp setup Simon, I will have to try that configuration too! The steak also looked good, though I prefer it a little more crispy on the outside... 😃
Thanks buddy! I like just a bit of crispy charring on the outside, the coals needed to be a bit hotter really, it was mighty fine though!! Cheers! Simon.
Very nice outting Simon,very nice tarp could I have maker and size.I normally use el cheapo tarps they get the job done but its time for upgrades and something a bit lighter.anyhoo I enjoy your channel and its content.cheers from the lone star state.
Thank you! Very much appreciated! The tarp is a 3m x 3m pu coated tarp by DD Hammocks. Reasonably priced and good quality! Atb, Simon
a real gnarly char grill done over burning herbs is nice on a bbq is also very tasty smokey n nice!
Gettin fancy now!
Hahaha - Yes, a bit excessive for breakfast in the woods, maybe! Atb, Simon
Happy new year geezer innit
And to you!! 🍾🎉
That's a brilliant eggs carrier :)
It’s good isn’t it - I was thrilled to get it in the post! Cheers Derek, Atb.
Love the vids!!
Thank you! 👍 Atb, Simon.
How about a thick juicy gammon steak next time to go with your eggs? Love your videos. All the best
Cheers Matt - love a good thick gammon steak! Now you’ve put the idea in my head, I want one!
