Camp Ovens. Four Different Ovens you can use to Bake in Camp. Campfire Scones.
In this video, I head out to the woods with my son, Tom, to test out a range of camp ovens and to do a bit of baking on the campfire.
Being able to bake in camp really adds another dimension to camp food - fresh bread, scones, cakes, biscuits and all manor of tasty baked goodies - homely food out in the wild.
We will be testing out four popular types of oven - the Dutch oven, the Zebra billy can oven, the reflector oven and the Bemco Backpacker oven.
Tom is in charge of making a batch of scones - some with cheese and Jalapeño, some with fruit and we bake them over the fire.
I hope you enjoy the video.
Thanks for watching.

Scone Recipe
Ingredients
400g Self Raising Flour
1/2 tsp Baking Powder
Pinch of Salt
125g Butter, cubed
200ml Milk
75g Grated Cheddar Cheese
A handful of Jalapeño slices, patted dry
50g Sultanas
20g Sugar
Beaten Egg to Glaze
1. Add the butter to your flour, baking powder and salt mix and rub in to make fine breadcrumbs.
2. Add the milk, a little at a time, mixing to create a firm Dough that doesn’t stick to your fingers.
3. Divide the dough in two.
4. Roll out each half and lay on the cheese and jalapeños on one half and the fruit and sugar on the second.
5. Fold and roll each batch repeatedly until the flavourings are well distributed.
6. Roll out to about 25mm (1”) and cut out your scones using a circular pastry cutter. (you should get about 6 of each if you use a 50mm cutter)
7. Brush with beaten egg and grate cheese on the savoury ones.
8. Bake at around 200 degrees C for 10 minutes or until golden (or 5 minutes in a ridiculously hot Billy can oven if you like them charred)

Lads done you proud Simon. How lovely to see a young lad out with his Dad. Well done
Tom, U hang on and stay with ur dad get all the camping skill u can. Let me tell u, ur dad, a PRO. He's good, U got the best man for u. Simon a bloke in the woods teach him well. THANKS SIMON KEEP THEM COMING!!!
It was great to see Tom. Cheers on the bisquits!
Thank you , Simon , and Tom . 🐺 Loupis Canis .
Simon, what a fantastic supportive dad and son relationship. Tom is doing brilliant and great you have these cooking moments together. I totally get it - we're on the same journey as you. All the very best !!
i love how you left the burned ones in the final edit. Adam Savage says the problem with KZread is that people often edit out things that don't go as planned - making it seem like tasks are easier than they usually are. Well done! Thank you!!!
Nice to have Son aboard.
King Alfred, A Bloke in the Woods. What a treat to spend time like that with your son. Good on you, Tom, for making time for the old man.

I learnt about Dutch ovens from Kent Rollins in the US, it is amazing the things you can make in a Dutch oven with a bit of practice and know how. Roasting pork shoulder with crispy cracking was a particular fav of mine.

That's a great father and son tandem in the woods 👍🇵🇭
Excellent job Tom. Simon you did all right :-) Nothing better than eating a meal in the woods.
For anyone looking to use what they've got, you jsut need a pot with lid (not aluminum so it doesnt melt) a cheap foil tray/bowl and something to get it off the bottom of the pot. I love the way Mark Young shows - two dog bowls and paper clips to hold them together. Can be used as pots as well.
Much respect for not editing out the "well done" ones! Enjoyed watching, as usual.
Nice to see you and Tom enjoying Family Time again!
two of my favorite people on the planet
Happened upon this channel after watching hiking and camping videos and I’m amazed. Didn’t know there was so much to do with Tarps, never heard of a swag! I’m loving all the chopping fire building. That’s one thing me and my sons can do is make a fire with no matches. Done that many a time on the beach. I’m going to set up a wood store and fire pit area in the garden. And going to get myself and my sons out there this winter learning all this stuff. The videos are amazing. Wish I’d found these sooner. Thanks for all the great entertainment and teaching. Love from The Isle of Wight 😀
Glad to see you back in the woods brother
Good to see Tom.
Nice to see you out with the lad again
What a nice young man Tom is. 😀
this adventure is a beautiful example of the phrase " we all get there eventually " fantastic content and keep up the good work tom & Simon!
So nice to see Tom again. He's grown into a very handsome young man and still willing to go out into the forest with the old man! LOL! Thanks again for an entertaining and informative video! Cheers Simon and Tom!
Simon, great to see you and Tom in the woods again!!! Simon just make the oven, you have the skills and the skills will pay the bills if you make and sell them, like your folding saw and your canoe trailer!!! Another great video...

Excellent, the Tom & Simon show
The center was perfect.
TOM, you are a nice guy. I like nice guys. hahaha all silliness aside. great seeing you again!!
Great to see thanks Simon and Tom .
Another super light weight backpacking trip. It was very informative and looked delicious. Have fun and stay safe.
Cheers Tom, Nice to see you on the Channel 👊🏼😎🤙🏼! Much 💜 from California
Stopping by to watch again. Great job, team.
Great film thanks, nice to see your lad along too.🖖👍👊
Sconetastic. Good to see you both back together enjoying the outdoors, happy days : )
So glad to see this. My BEMCO just arrived in the mail.
He's alive! Lol. Missed your vids..never thought to bake in the woods. Where I live we have to get 20 or so miles into the wilderness to get away from people..so weight is always..freeze dried! Great to see Tom involved...my boys are scattered so get togethers are rare and my age has slowed my "20 milers" a lot . Cheers!

Love seeing Tom! What a lovely young man. Great info on ovens.
Amazing video those scones look delicious Simon they will go nice with cream jam you and Tom enjoy you're nice delicious scones you both deserve them take care.
cool to have someone you care about with you...
Lovely seeing Tom, he reminds me of my cousin who has Aspergers.......he's training to be a chef! You both make a great team!
Great video! Good to see Tom doing some baking.
glade to see you and tom together again been awhile
How lucky to have such a lovely son, and your truly blessed to spend time together in the outdoors
Lovely. Nice to see you both sharing some time out and about and baking in the woods. I need to have a crack at using my Zebra Billy for a bit of baking.
Those are really lovely layers in those scones!

Unlike Simon I'm no campfire cooking guru but I learnt a tip a while back. Two metal dog bowls fastened together on the lip with bulldog clips also work as an oven. Simon is my go to 1st port of call for bushcraft tips. His open canoeing exploits are also informative if intending to canoe in those respective waters.
Hiya Tom. Lovely father and son time. :)
I enjoy your videos with Tom and much as I do the videos with Maggie!
Thanks Tom and Simon. Informative and entertaining 🙏👏
There's a little bloke in the woods! Great vid guys jealous of all tbe ovens.
AWESOME! I love your stove video. - Mike ❤️ 413
Excellent work Simon & Tom - brilliant teamwork and very enjoyable video :-)
Great video Simon. Toms scones looked delicious
Well done chaps!
So nice uou are doing this together!
nice epic, and nice to see you and youre son tom back
nice baking in the woods guys well done to your son Tom stainless steel heats up very quick thats why they where burned
What a sweet kid Tom is.
Oh boy now that is a hand full to watch mate (all the food at once), good job Tom was with you on this one. Just the one batch slightly burnt, not bad at all pal. I'd love a Dutch oven but in the mean time while saving I'll pick up the 14" Billy I reckon mate. Thanks for this week's upload Simon, speak yo you soon pal 👍

What an absolutely great video, time in the woods with family, having fun. Always a great day. I thought he would never go again with u after u made him carry the Dutch oven last time, lol 😆
Another great informative and entertaining video. Thank you for all the wonderful videos.
Very interesting. Good to have to have a scone while camping. I really like the reflector oven - what a great idea. Fun to have you son cooking with you. Thanks for sharing.
As always I learned a lot watching this one. Thanks for sharing.
Wonderful video. Thanks for sharing.
Ah a gear video. Just what the doctor ordered. Nice to see Tom again. 👍
Great to see Tom out on the trail with you mate I must say that I do miss seeing Maggie though, nice bit of baking out there some skills that come in very handy!!!
What a lovely way to have quality time with Tom. You look as if it was a fun thing to do. Nice to see Tom.
Awesome video. Learned a lot.
Another fab video. I’ll see you soon.
It looks like you did a wonderful job of repairing your your beautiful boat. But it looks like the canoe gods bit you on the backside for putting a sail on a canoe. I really enjoy your videos. Keep up the good work. 😁
You two did a great job, thank you. I will try one of the three options best for a wood fire.
Great to see Tom back out with you the scones looked great
These videos always manage to calm me down after a stressful week. Thank you for re-invigorating me to get back out into the woods Simon. Great video. Keep it up!
I actually really like your footage of packing up - as the old adage says, the only thing you should leave on a campsite is your thanks to the owner!
Fantastic and nice to see young Tom out again.
Brilliant video, great to see Tom out with you again, thank you.
Great job on comparing the different stoves. Awesome that Tom could make an appearance with you - it's always great to see father & son spending time together - especially during the teenage years :-)
What a lovely father and son video. Great to see you both together making memories.

The perfect video for my first episode back from our PEI vacation where I (with help from the nephews wife!) baked my first loaf of bread in my dutch oven! Turned out really well but pushed the limits of the amount of dough for my sized oven! Great to see Tom out with you and thanks for another great video!
I've been looking for a video like this to try in my backyard.
Really lovely to see Tom! Those scones looked yummy. We’ve never made savoury scones, may give it a go in the Dutch oven.
Hi, Simon! If, hypothetically, a viewer from the States were to send you the stuff from here you want, would that save you paying whatever the import tax is? I don't know how that all works, but I would be more than happy to be your contact here for all the fun gear you're searching for! Thank you for all your wonderful content, and sending greetings to Tom, Maggie, and Mrs. A Bloke In The Woods!

UK Import Duty, Tax and Handling Charges are based on the stated value of the item written on the Customs form when the item is sent from the US. Were the sender to list the value as $5 that would result in none of the above Duties, Taxes and Charges applying.

I actually looked up the cost to ship stuff from the US to the UK and it is pretty pricey. $41 to ship a small package up to 4lbs, an ounce over that and the price doubles. I have ordered in things from all over the world and shipping into the US for an equivalent package is usually closer to $25. I can see why US produced stuff is such a no go for British bushcrafters.
