Yet ANOTHER excellent vid! Not since the days of "The Bushtucker Man" programmes have I seen such easily watchable, informative and entertaining vids. Your conversational delivery really shows you love your outdoors. You're a natural at this, I hope the networks are watching! Many thanks. P.S. What you call damper, we call Bannock here in Scotland.
Thanks so much Liam, I appreciate your thoughtful comments. You are too kind really- Its so good to hear feedback that I'm on the right path and resonating with folks. I did not realise you were a scot. Some beautiful country over there - one day hope to see it :)
Damper wow what a subject, you are correct, infinite variety, mine I add butter like you but use firm butter and mix it in the flour to make crumbs. And I add also 1 tablespoon of sugar with the salt. But the main thing is I use lemonade instead of water. Makes it rise. Thanks a great sensible channel, looking forward to all your videos.
Thanks so much Roger for being part of the channel community! I'm just getting started:) I've heard about the lemonade method, I'll have to try it further. I know beer can work too. I dreamt up comparing an ale Vs lager Vs a hoppy beer like an IPA and see what tastes best in damper....but maybe Ill start with the lemonade!
Coming from western USA, I've used all kinds of stuff in my damper. Such as Cornmeal, currants, orange and lemon zest, and Sourdough starter. I like your idea for Sticky Damper too. Making damper reminds me alot of making Irish soda bread. Thanks for the video.
Hi Ken, so glad the video found you and you have come across the channel! The internet is powerful. Sounds like you have heaps of experience.....hmmmm.. citrus zest....I'll have to try that. Cheers mate!
Thanks! What an uplifting comment. Assume you clicked my channel through a DB comment on another video. Good to see two very different corners of YT coming together 😬
@@OTWD Honestly brother, that's not it. I remembered making damper on a school camp way back and wanted to hear more about it. Glad I could find an Aussie who has spoken in-depth on the topic. I'm not sure who this DB is 😅
@@VitriolExhaust I mean Dungeonborne. It’s a new competitor to Dark and Darker! I tried it a little while and thought I must have commented on a video you saw . Maybe there’s more people in the world that enjoy outdoors and indoors too…!!
@OWTD You're spot on there. What an odd coincidence! Although, if you will give me a moment to talk about our lord and saviour, dark and darker, the oceanic servers could always do with more players. There's a huge update dropping on the 6th of September, it might be worth another look if you haven't already given it the time of day. Praise be, stay holy.
Thank you very much for this video and showing the story about this amazing bread, I am from Chile but travelling Australia and for sure will cook my damper on next camping sesh
@@estebanulloa8603 Awesome area mate. Must be pretty wet up there by now? Hopefully you are coping OK with the humidity. I've been to cairns area but never with my vehicle - one day we'll explore more - such a wonderful place and so different to where I am in VIC. If you haven't discovered him already you should check out @MrBuckaroonie on RUclips, awesome guy with a great channel - lives up that way. Cheers !
With flour and water, make a dough, a pinch of salt and a pinch of soda then mix it all until its just right. Self-raising flour is used instead of plain flour and baking soda. Cook it covered in the warm ashes of a cooling fire, then dust the ash off when it tapped hollow. Serve with a billy of tea. I'm now in my late fifties, and this is the recipe I learned by heart when I was a lad. As a boy scout, the "legend" we were told was that indigenous Australians used to use the brown seed heads/catkins from bull rushes to make a type of bread. I never verified the truth of it, but that was what I was told.
Hi Cassandra - sorry for delay in replying - I do get to all comments eventually. Thanks for encouragement and taking time to comment. I am not opposed to some golden syrup from time to time myself😁 PS. Love your old parrot videos killing it in views !!
One option for damper is to use soda water, this will make it lighter/fluffy on the inside. Some use lemonade but this tends to make it too sweet for my liking
Hi John, apologies for the delay mate - I do get to all comments..eventually! It's an Aussie made, spun steel, Dr Livingstone's Bedourie Oven (smaller one). And I agree It's light, robust, and a good work horse to practice with :D Keep your eye on the channel, I'll be doing a specific review on it in the near future😁
Hey mate. Great video and the bread looks nice. Looking foward to the case kitchen video. Where abouts we’re you camping? I’m from Victoria also obviously just out of lockdown and went to noojee for the long weekend. Cheers legend.
Hey Jake! How was Noojee area mate? Know any good spots? Filmed this at Kirth Kiln (scout loop camp ground) - free camp in the forest near Gembrook. Its about 25 mins from my house. Now we have more freedom looking forward to some trips around gippsland, yarra valley, and want to head out to the high country too- had a few trips cancelled when lockdowns started. Cheers!
To your question about good spots I know a few. If you’re on wiki camps check out simpsons great spot all by itself right on the river. Or costins road off willow grove rd there are about 4-5 spots along the river there.
@@jakepetherick7686 Awesome, I'll check those spots out. Wikicamps is great for that. It's good for big trips as you cruise along trying to find spots, but equally good for finding somewhere out of the way for s short trip. Thanks for the tip.
"Our" can also mean association, not just ownership. I made intentional efforts here to be respectful and acknowledge/celebrate fascinating aspects of this continent's past.

That is awesome, I have done damper when I was a kid, but I need to try it now as a adult.
Simple ingredients - but lots of fun. Great with Kids too. Thanks for watching mate😆

Fantastic video, best video I’ve seen on Australian damper thus far for sure well done, great content.
Hi Yacobshel, What a kind and encouraging comment. THANK YOU for watching and so glad you liked it!😬
@@OTWD no prob Dan! Appreciate you putting yourself out there. Subscribed. God bless you brother 😊

Hi Esteban, Thanks so much for watching and taking the time to comment. Where are you now in Australia? Good luck with the damper :)
@@OTWD for now in Far North Queensland (Atherton Tablelands)

Thanks for sharing with us Villa Tempest! How amazing its engrained in your memory from younghood. Cheers. Simple is often the best way.l
The Maori of NZ also made a bread from the Bullrush flower heads..( Raupo)...
Thanks for a great video. For me it’s Golden syrup all the way 🤤

Good video mate

Thanks for watching mate! Good luck with it.
❤ like u approach n attitude!
Thank you for watching. Sorry for delay I took a short break, getting back to older comments....!!! Happy camp cooking.
Hey Dan, where did you get your dutch oven from? Looks neat and light.

2 July 2024 Hi just found your Channel on utube
I was hoping you would buty it in the ashes. Would like to know about that.
Hi Wayne, hmmm..maybe something I can work on😆. It's probably a dying art...
Water Flour flour fire Golden Syrup.
The Bruce Pascoe thing has been debunked. 😂
Hey mate.
Great video and the bread looks nice.
Looking foward to the case kitchen video.
Where abouts we’re you camping?
I’m from Victoria also obviously just out of lockdown and went to noojee for the long weekend.

Absolutely love how you talk about diabetes in indigenous Australians then proceed to make a bowl of diabetes🤣 keep up the great content.
We are all free to eat what we want I guess :D Thanks for watching
Damper has been made by indigenous Australians who ground wild grains thousands of years ago,study your history my friend…
This isn't a history video. I actually did say this within the video. Please watch the entire video before making condescending comments like this.
Bullshit. They did not
@@debradelarue9717 yes they did ya maggot.
Please do not refer to indigenous Australians as “our”this is incorrect and disrespectful,nobody owns Aboriginal people.
"Our" can also mean association, not just ownership. I made intentional efforts here to be respectful and acknowledge/celebrate fascinating aspects of this continent's past.
