(birds calling in distance)
- [Grayson] Cutting up the onions, sweetie?
Just one small onion, for the sauce.
What else we got there? Carrot?
- [Christina] Carrots.
- [Grayson] One carrot?
- [Christina] One carrots
carrots.
- [Grayson] So just cooking the sauce in our small pot.
- We should've brought garlic
- [Grayson] 700 mil pot.
Putting the bacon in.
Concentrated tomato paste.
What's that, 'bout?
So that's 140 gram pack,
just put roughly 60 or 70 grams tomato paste
in with the onion and bacon.
And also, the carrot will go into the sauce.
Bit of water in there, yeah?
Sweetie?
Water?
Fire's lit, the fire.
- Putting a tiny bit.
- [Grayson] Tiny bit of our peas in there.
Probably 10 grams, about the same as the
chicken afritada recipe.
So, just a very small sauce to go on the side
with the corn maize which we're very keen
to test out here in the bush.
Gonna put it in the big pot here.
We've got about 250 grams
of corn maize.
So, it looks a bit like flour,
but it's more coarse.
Great ultra light trail food.
Get close on that.
So I'll just put a small amount in there.
I've got probably 500 mil of boiling water.
Immediately just start mixing it.
So you just keep adding it.
And you'll know it's ready once the consistency
of it is about the same as mashed potato.
And that's exactly what it looks like when it's finished.
Careful, the camera can't stay there too long.
If the maize starts to become too thick,
you just add more boiling water.
And I think that's what's happening now,
we are getting a bit thick.
Come close.
Still mixing the maize, Sweetie?
- Mmhm.
- [Grayson] So, when we've cooked maize before,
normally you have to mix it for probably
about five minutes just to get it
all nice and thick.
Tiny bit of ash from the fire fell into the maize,
oh well that might just add a bit of flavor.
That's the reality of camp fire cooking guys.
It's not the cleanest method,
not like stove top at home.
So, it's really starting thicken up
by the looks of it, yeah, Sweetie?
- [Christina] Yeah.
- Yeah, you can see there, campers,
it's getting quite thick now.
Quick taste test of that maize.
- Good now.
- I'm not gonna lie to you,
maize doesn't exactly taste good on its own
but if you add a bit of salt and pepper
or some kind of sauce,
it's all good.
Here's our sauce.
Kangaroo going on the fire.
- Moving.
This is not yet cooked.
This one, I think is cooked.
- [Grayson] Oh yeah, kangaroo meat, eh?
Kangaroo meat, in Australia.
(laughs) Oh yeah.
- Yummy, huh?
- [Grayson] Beautiful.
- Not yet. But these going to,
going now.
- Putting some cuts in the meat Sweetie?
So it cooks better?
Just so it cooks inside
much quicker.
Having a bit of trouble getting the fire
going out here, guys.
Lot of rainfall again,
that's why we've got the tarp on this camping trip.
Quick look underneath.
Using a double ridge line system.
This is the first ridge.
And the second ridge.
Just another trick you can use
and that is one of the ridge lines is wrapped around
the upright pole.
See there, just an item of clothing,
that's one of our gaiters just at the top there
to protect the tarp from getting damaged
by the wood.
Marinated kangaroo
with African corn maize.
There's the maize going into the plates.
Oh yeah.
Bit of kangaroo on the plate yeah?
Beautiful.
- Oh gosh, it's very cooking.
- [Grayson] Oh, the kangaroo's all charcoaled.
Black and crispy.
- There. Put here?
- [Grayson] Yep, and sauce.
- Or here?
- [Grayson] Doesn't matter.
Oh yeah.
Beautiful.
One thing that comes to mind is,
I wonder if any of the native animals in the area
can smell this feast.
I'm sure the kangaroos won't like the smell.
Some of the wild dogs might be licking
their lips right now though.
Look at that, beautiful.
Special treat out here this afternoon campers.
Bit of pure honeycomb.
Just quick recipe idea for backpacking.
Just careful the way you transport it though,
because it is extremely sticky and runny.
- Very sticky.
- [Grayson] So we've just transported it here
inside an old peanut butter container.
- Yummy.
- There's the plastic container.
Beautiful.
80% sugar, man.
Look at the honey.
Look at it just running off the side there
onto that honeycomb. (laughs)
Honeycomb,
beautiful.
You gonna eat the honeycomb, Sweetie?
- Mmmhmm.
- Big chunk of honeycomb right there, campers.
About the size of a marshmellow.
Hopefully the camera's picking up the little
hexagon shapes and stuff in the honeycomb.
Oh yeah.
Beautiful.
Blade actually cutting the air.
So, these heavier blades like this 800 gram bolo.
You will not be able to produce a swooshing sound
when you swing it through the air.
Two 18 inch blades, it might be a bit difficult
for the camera's microphone to pick up the sound.
