  • In this video, I head I am out for a New Years solo overnight camp in the woods in my hot tent. A nice hike up the Peddars Way brings me to a secluded pine forest where I can reset amongst the hushed trees.
    After setting up my tent and tent heater, I collect firewood and process it down just as the light begins to fade and the rain starts. A delicious dinner of Chinese style pork and fried noodles, washed down with a couple of strong beers and Im ready to crawl into my sleeping bag.
    Morning brings brighter weather, coffee and black pudding for breakfast before packing up and heading back the way I came.
    A delightful night out in the woods - just what was needed after my Christmas break.
    I hope you enjoy the video.
    Thanks for watching.

    hello Simon! Due to my illness I can hardly leave the house! You probably won't read this message! But I want to say a big thank you for your videos! I'm Portuguese, 44 years old, a widower with 3 children and I'm on daily dialysis because I'm waiting for a kidney transplant! With your videos I can travel! I can smell nature! With your videos I can hope that tomorrow will be better! THANK YOU SIMON

      Happy New Year, and keep getting better! My best to Mrs Woods as well! This was a nice relaxed outing, and I hope to do the same thing soon, same tent even! Hard to find Black Pudding here, but some of our British or Irish restaurants do serve it. Love it with baked beans and eggs!
      Hope this is a good year for you all, and the woods await!

    Happy New Year Simon!! Your meal looked wonderful. You, Andy and a few others prove that camp food doesn't have to be a can of beans a some bread. which is great if that's what one wants! But really it 's all about how much effort one wants to put into a meal. Thanks for sharing your overnight adventure with us!! Can't wait to see your canoe trip in a couple of weeks! I love those adventures! Stay safe, warm and healthy!

    The Seek Outside Titanium Cub Stove is a remarkable bit of kit, about two pounds complete with stovepipe.
    A worthy successor to the Kifaru Para Stove as the most compact, capable little tent stove, and being titanium its lighter too, despite being an inch longer.
    There are few things in life as nice as being snug in your tent with the delicious smell of supper cooking on the wood stove and a good, dry wood pile.
