Video Transcription

alright everyone just a quite a short video today I'm hoping but what I'm out here today's do is do a video response to Z outdoors who hat is running a competition these chairs ask people to do a bush crap breakfast so without going on about it too much the first thing I've got to do is get myself a fire going and then once I've got a fire going I'll talk through what I'm going to be cooking and how I'm going to be cooking it

so guys that's my fire going away nicely dirt so let's have a look along with the cooking so in here I have some freshly caught mark I'm not gonna lift it out just yet just because there's quite a lot of bugs in the earth today and I'll keep it in here but it's not been bought in the shop it has been caught by a member of my family and that's going to be cooked in an entirely wild method I'm going to be going foraging some stuff in a minute to cook this with I've also got a couple of eggs which even for is my local supermarket because it's illegal to collect eggs in this country and I'm gonna be serving these up with some potato cakes and salted butter so my fire is going away nicely though it's got coke on it so I'm not worried about that going out the ground around is quite damp so I'm not what about it spreading and I'm just going to pop over to the other side of this little brook that I next to this little river and collect up some wild forage balls that I need for this food this breakfast sorry so get a bit smoked out here as well so let's go have a look somewhat so got some wild garlic here that should go really nicely with the macro some nice big leaves that's definitely why garlic I can smell it not lobby you know eating if I wasn't sure and forget one more large 14 good look okay that should go really nicely what's off

and never say no to a bit of wood sorrel so that's my little bit of a forage done and I've got some wild garlic but some wood sorrel it's just kind of a mouth freshener for afterwards and I've also collected some nettle here which I'm not going to be using as an ingredient today even though it is edible I'm actually going to be using this as kind of a tool to hopefully in theory aid me and cooking the mackerel so let's have a look at how I'm gonna be doing all this so my first step is the muffler I'm trying to cook this buckle without using any utensils and that's kind of what the garlic's for not just to flavor it but also to help me with cooking it so I know now I had hoped to find a nice big dot whatever don't leave to do this with but I couldn't find any so we'll use the garlic instead and hopefully it'll turn out alright but I've never use garlic this way before so we'll see how we get on

upset though

so hoping just sort of steam the fish and give it a little bit of this wild garlic flavor as I said never use garlic swear before we'll try something new now comes a fiddly bit so I'm going to try and wrap the fish in this garlic as best I can and I'm going to tie it with these sort of really basic bits of metal cordage that I've put together the fish was solved it was already got it before I came out so I'm not prepped it in the field really I'm just cooking it out here she was thick sooo it's a little fiddly you know I think it's actually fell work the idea with this breakfast is that I'm not using any kind of pre-bought pre-made utensils for cooking it just to see if I can manage it without basically so far so good this is this is real bushcraft for me no tours except for my knife that's all I brought with me today and that wild knife and a and a fire strike a Ferro rod because I couldn't be bothered with the bow drill then we put the rest on for good moment and i'm just going to shove this in a moment and the coals i suspect the kind of tail and the head are going to get very very burnt but i'm not really interested in them too much maybe they split the facts or put that to one end there is it's not pretty and then i felt very strongly a fishy garlic let's get me the fire fighters died down quite a lot now don't need it big for cooking on what i do need to do is just look locking the camera a bit get some of these coals ready for cooking on ok they see me okay and I'll go fish leave them for a minute and he should start steaming and then let's get the eggs on but try a new method of the eggs I've seen what never actually tried myself so again the eggs I'm going to attempt to cook them without using a utensils apart from obviously my knife and I take the top off

whoops going with a lot on the plate and again the egg just gets popped straight in the coals but how well these ads gonna know how well he's going to turn out because I said I've no actually tried it this way before but we'll see other expanding why didn't I think of that okay I'm gonna let that cook see how we get on okay so that is everything just about cooked but I say just about it is cooked the mackerel smells incredible ask me that spread that butter out a bit the eggs were problematic ahem as you can see ones exploded completely but there's still some left in there so that is a skill i think i'm going to have to practice but let's give it a try see which bits we've got it's a good still well very very hot whoops hmm actually really right hmm there's a lot like much book yeah really good I still got one in there which isn't quite ready yet I think blacks and gays about done now so you can lift it out the problem with this is getting them out it's quite tricky let's try bear this mackerel I really like my club smells but I it's cut beautifully them hmm that's cooked through so so nicely it's just literally aching off the bone that garlic taste is wonderful that is better than anything I could cook in an oven and a bit of a takeout let's try out mmm i will like potato cakes not exactly a bushcraft ebook where I go mmm I didn't look like much what's actually pretty filling talk about protein from the eggs cars from the tailor cake she'll be a decent match set me up for the day but I'm a little bit sad about my eggs at once done nothing in the palace one of them so basically the issue I had with the eggs was that the yolks exploded when I was part you can see in this one it has really really exploded but a little bit perfection of the techniques they're actually really nice so it's just a case of get it right that's too hot to eat just yet

bit more than this macro is phenomenal so good and you know it wasn't bought in the shop as well which is something I really like about it there's a bit berm only problem with this is the sumbitch that have charred what exposed this is one of those things are bush was crap Iacocca Isaac admittedly I'm pretty poor cook more time of real hot what well got some burnt we come a potato kick so you can see left this side this is where the M the leaves are burned wait just licks you just flakes off and it takes the skin with it as well I don't really like Michael skin or fish skin and general what comes off really easily just chalk that and tie it eat around the burnt bits what eating slightly charred food me it's part of fun come fly cooking but know how well that is cooked I've been out say all the bones out of it really easily as well mmm

sorry just SAT watching me eat now what eating is one of my favorite things to do anywhere but any time egg hasn't cooled off yet those ones really quite well cooked actually that's Lexi

I knocked on one side let's find a bit that is cooked ok it's hot it's hot through taste break up

let's get a shot of the other side so yeah that one's I 14 back to the drawing board then a little bit of wood sorrel just to freshen up and we're good so guys hope you've enjoyed it I hope I do well in the competition by their zeal outdoors it wasn't a very pretty meal but it was a very good one I'm probably gonna cut myself another potato cake I could've done with two well that should really set me up for the day so I'm gonna get my fire going to burn away all this organic litter cleanup and don't see what I can do cheers for everyone
