Camping in a new location, Casstrom Woodsman and cooking

Nick and I go camping in a new location, I use the casstrom Woodsman knife and do some cooking which includes sweet and salty fry bread,

[@taffdavies35]

Fry bread, a great Lakota Sioux staple.

Rob, looks a bit posh for you boyo! Nick, never get caught working! That's the 11th commandment, "Thou shalt not get caught!" Take care lads Graham

[@Daxxii1966]

Looks like a great trip, you guys can certainly look after yourselves. I love my woodsman too probably my go yo knife I'd say. Cheers love the video.

Nice vid, stunning camp place indeed, curious about the Woodsman review mate👍🏻

[@perebird]

Nice spot Rob 👍..shame about the weather

[@MrWildWales]

Looks sweet that Rob hoping for an invite soon 😉

I have the woodsman knife with curly birch handle awesome little compact fulltang knife

[@dlhlym]

Very funny commentary on the weather! “ Really getting on my tits “. I laughed out loud. Keep up the great work.

[@descattysBushcraftbydescattys]

Superb location there Rob Great stuff

Cheers Dez

[@allensterk6190]

Every culture has something like this could be donuts cakes fried bread topped off with many items sugar cinnamon or syrups

[@domrumble8243]

i use the same tripod setup using temporary fencing spikes.If your kettle and or pot has a handle,pass the chain through the handle and hook one of the links back onto the top of the spike when you have the desired height.Great vid butt!

[@RobEvansWoodsman]

Cheers Dom, I have a hook up the top for height adjustment.

[@johnturner6251]

Thankx Rob

[@howardvarley8795]

Enjoyed the video, Re. the greens peppercorn sauce is Amazing with brocolli, try it you wont be disappointed.

[@RobEvansWoodsman]

I could imagine that it would be good with brocolli , give it some flavour!

[@AR9ify]

Next weeks video is something to look forward to I see.

[@RobEvansWoodsman]

I'm half way through editing it.

[@oldfart9287]

Thankyou as always Rob, what a great mate you have in Nick he has a great presence but dont steal your thunder. I have done quite a bit of camp cooking and ruined plenty on too hot fires, I know ya cant take the kitchen sink with you if your hiking but I often use a foot square piece of steel checker plate on my rocket stove in the back yard this stops me burning the crap out of everything, I was also spoilt in B C cause I bought a little $600 camper that fitted on the back of my ford ranger and as you know there are no shortage of logging roads and crown land and lakes to visit in and around Kamloops. Sorry if I ramble on but dry and comfortable beats roughing it even when I was young, great that you have some wild places where you are that you can access, good luck to ya both

[@jimcy1318]

next time you get chance do a recipe for the bread, looks good simple camp bread.👍🇬🇧🇩🇪

[@RobEvansWoodsman]

self raising four and water, salt in one sugar in the other.

[@MisterBurtonshaw]

Superb video. Love Dan's spot. I'd describe your meatball concoction as a sort of meatball stroganoff. Thanks for taking the time for the videos. Love from Mumbles :)

What with using an Bushbox XL and now glamping indoors, is there going to be a channel update on this .....LOL. Great video mate and when you get a clear sky at night the stars are amazing.👍👍

[@RobEvansWoodsman]

I'll be back in fajllraven trousers and using a Jacklore knife at this rate!!😜

Looks like a good time. Always nice to get to see the stars.

[@John_Dollar]

Another great video Rob and thanks for sharing the fire! Always have a great time watching your real content! Keep up the great work sir.

[@RobEvansWoodsman]

Much appreciated John

[@pAdDy111hDH]

Great video from your camp out, Rob 👍

[@rhettoracle9679]

Nothing wrong with having a plan B when conditions deteriorate to the point of misery. Cheers

[@HARMARSCH2]

Rob, Plan A may not have worked out but Plan B went off pretty much without a hiccup. Enjoyed the video.

[@Zenmastersean]

Looks like a great time with great eats and great company. Thanks for sharing Stay healthy brother

[@RobEvansWoodsman]

Thanks Sean

[@ntesla66]

Looks rather damp and green in Wales, Rob. Bet you're happy for the warmer weather though! Thanks for the video!

[@RobEvansWoodsman]

Always damp here.

[@HankSielski]

Hi Rob! I was wondering when you were going to do a more in-depth review of the Woodsman? In particular I was interested in how you think it compares with one of Roger’s custom knives, as I don’t see me being able to afford one of those in the near term…

[@RobEvansWoodsman]

It's coming, seriously great value I wouldn't hesitate buying one. A R.Harrington woodsman in O1 would probably set you back three times what the Casstrom costs.

[@clivedunning4317]

Great video, from a great location Rob. You must start putting out your recipes, I'm sure they would be appreciated by folk.

[@RobEvansWoodsman]

My cooking is "have a go" cooking. Main meal was Nick's concoction.

[@Trevelyon006]

That is a lovely location, will it be a more permanent base for you? Nice to see you smiling again 😎

[@RobEvansWoodsman]

Definitely be returning to the cabin!

[@dennisleighton2812]

Hi Rob, still following you guys. 12:50 Those balls you were doing are a common dish in SA, called "vetkoek", or fat cakes. Either savoury, with curry mince filling, or sweet, with butter and jam (usually apricot or peach). Delicious, especially the savoury, and one of my favourites! [Very bad for my health I'm reliably informed, and which I shall ignore, of course!] By the way, have you ever done a video on your "parallel fire"? I'm intrigued, as I've not come across it before. We just do it the normal boring way, or if we feel experimental, and adventurous, the upside down fire. If not, please do one, with your rationale, as it looks very effective. 17:15 Meat balls - ahhh yes! A good ol' standby. My favourite way is with plenty of sliced mushrooms, and some sort of tomato, with a bit of thickening for a gravy. Delicious. If I have to use a flat pot or pan, I tend to flatten the balls a bit, like a thick patty - just easier to get them cooked without the bottoms burning. BTW, the morning fire was real "chuck-'em"! 🤣🤣

[@RobEvansWoodsman]

Curried mince filling sounds like a plan!

[@TaylorVanBeek]

Another awesome video! That camping spot looks awesomeeeee!Me and my pup just got into camping ourselves. We travel out of my truck camper I built. You'll have to check it out on my channel. Keep up with the awesome content!

[@danielcharbonneau222]

Man Rob this was a good video. When your out with a very close friend it makes for good entertainment, well done. One thing, what kind of Anorak was Nick wearing, looked like canvas. Cheers from Canada.

[@RobEvansWoodsman]

It's a hunting smock , very warm , not canvas, I'll ask him for details if you want.

[@danielcharbonneau222]

@@nickdavies4623 Thanks

[@daemonharper3928]

Great vid as usual. Cooking with wood is always tricky, the first batch out is always the trial batch.....its like pancake day, the first couple aren't great. I'd say turn the bread before the first side is done as it'll keep cooking when it's turned - but you know that! I've ruined plenty of meals on an open fire and yours was perfectly OK. I love that hungry feeling when you're outdoors, it's not like being hungry at home. Is there much difference between Casstrom models? They all seem pretty similar - good knives mind, I like their handle geometry. Those Gransfors splitters are the business 👌.

[@RobEvansWoodsman]

It's been a while since I made the sweet balls , I should have flattened them more and cooked them less, in my Sweden videos from a few years ago they were perfect.

[@martinoutdoors6941]

Like the look of the cast iron pan what size was that. Rob

[@RobEvansWoodsman]

Not cast iron it's cast aluminium. One hell of a lot lighter.

[@martinoutdoors6941]

[@RobEvansWoodsman]

@@martinoutdoors6941 GSI , I think it's 10" I can't believe you haven't seen these before, I often use it and I know you have been watching me for years . It has an excellent nonstick finish and you can fry on the lid.

The stainless kettle I currently use is made by GSI aswel.

I’m interested in your thoughts on the Woodsman. I ended up buying one. Like yours, the scales are in bog oak. While this seems a very GB material, do you know where Casstrom sources theirs?

[@RobEvansWoodsman]

l havent got a clue where it comes from.

[@HankSielski]

@@RobEvansWoodsman actually the Casstrom website mentioned that the bog oak is English and about 5000 years old!

[@RobEvansWoodsman]

@@HankSielski they would say that, could be regular Oak dyed black! Who knows, I trust no one
