I just got back from a one nighter with the dog, cooked a chicken on the same setup you did there minus the hanger obvs. Once again, it was you who inspired me 3 years ago to get off my arse and get a bag together. When I needed advice, I dropped you a message and you replied, helping me no end. So thanks again Craig, you sir are a legend! 🙏🤙🤟👍
I used to do this when a lot younger, I'll soon be 67 but walk for miles almost every day plus do a little weights, press ups and bands for strength. Bought a rooftop tent so hope to be getting out and about a lot more especially Island hopping in Scotland where I'm from. I really like watching your adventures. Thanks for sharing.
Toony here from Calgary Canada Shaggers. Great video Craig and absolutely loved when you help teach stuff to others. So so important to look after your mental health and as Craig mentioned switch off and get outdoors and enjoy nature. Anyways any other Canadians watch Craig, especially in Calgary area?? Craig you simply rock it Bro!
Craig bud, I hope you’re well, just checking in and making sure you’re enjoying the trees still, been a month since a vid and just wanted to post my thanks for your videos, made a man in tough times keep going, not sure why but I found some comfort in your videos in a difficult time. Probably for the distraction and interesting topics you covered. Just a big thanks really xxx
California Redwood Shagger here, I've been doin well, done a bit of bushcrafting, and plan to hang my DD hammock up this weekend now after seeing this video. Thanks for always keeping it real with us, it keeps me coming back for more. Cheers!
Really enjoy your channel. All sweet this week, went to archery tonight, in my wheel chair and received my bronze medal from the NZ Field Archery Association Indoor Championships held recently. Along with a second place certificate for the regionals. Absolutely stoked. 😊😊😊
Under-blankets are way more comfortable, especially if you sleep on a diagonal. Also when you get in you instantly feel warmth reflecting back to you. It is like night and day.
Doing great man, thanks for asking! You don't have to answer this comment if you're busy. I do get out in the woods and build fires, though I think here in the states we've got more places to do that legally. I don't get out as often as I like, but I've got some stuff planned soon! Love the hammock camping too! Love your channel because you're so chill, and I say you include some other stuff too, whatever you're up to! Also, hello to all the East Anglian community!
Nice to see extra military Dude still practising his craft same here love getting out of the woods bit of headspace bit of peace and quiet much love brother
Yes the only strange people wandering around in the woods at night are just us two geocachers 😂. From the first time just over 2 years ago we found you on RUclips you have inspired us both to go out and wild camp in our and your local woodland, so thank you Craig. We are very lucky to have all this forest just on our doorstep mate. Oh yes that was a honey buzzard you heard. All the best mate Dylan and Haley ❤
I somehow managed to miss this video popping up, so just caught up now and you've reminded me that it's been absolutely ages since I last did a hammock camp in the woods! Might have to get on that soon. Thanks for a lovely chilled video 😊
I love a northern mam expression. “You’ll spoil yer tea” was one of my mam’s favourites. Another was, every day when we asked her what was for tea, she’d say, “sh*t wi’ sugar on” 😂 Yer can’t beat the north east 😂
My week has been good so far. Totally agree with you when it comes to people not thinking for themselves I've watched this channel for about 18 months / 2 years and will keep doing so. Hope everyone is well 🤙🏼
Really reminded me of your earlier videos bro haha it’s great that you haven’t strayed too far from the beginning! Always real, always true and that’s what people love about ya dude. 🙏🏻❤️
I don't go wild camping, but I get that big exhale at my allotment and when I'm setting up my rods. I can actually feel my body change. Keep up the good work shagger 💙
I love to get out and about... mixture of mountains and bushcraft... really helps switch off from work I've recently started a channel ... more for memories for myself and so my kids can maybe watch when I'm dead and buried 😂 Love your videos... keeping it real 💪
Iv just got back from my weekend out in the woodland I absolutely love this sort of stuff sleeping under the tarp or even stars . I’m all good thank you and feeling refreshed hope your doing well -wildbrann
I'd love to go camping, I'm not very mobile and don't know anyone I could go with - plus I live in London at the moment. As for my week, it's been crap - raining so I can't even enjoy going to the local parks and getting some air. Thanks for these videos, I really do enjoy watching them. (Gu puddings are VERY nice!)
great vid, given me some ideas. Nice to see someone straight to the point and it's a shame you didn't put up the tarp as a demo. Great clean up at the end as we all hate tossers that leave the place looking like a Beirut rubbish dump. thx.
Love a good hammock camp. Here in the Pacific NW we've got huge trees, so you end up packing more weight in hammock strap than you do in the rest of your sleep setup Hammock camping is always the most comfortable camp for me. But, I've noticed I've gotta get up and water the dry trees more in a hammock than in any other sleeping setup. 😅 Looks like a great day in the woods, decompressing from the madness. I'm doing well, and I hope you've been finding a good balance in things yourself. Regarding a seperate channel; From what I've seen, that never works the way folks expect. The second channel never does as well and always needs a lot of work. But, worth keeping in mind, a lot of us (myself included), watch these as a parasocial relationship, IE folks watch these cause they enjoy the personality you present on here, enjoy the hang out, the conversation. The topics are ones that got us here, but its the quality of the vids and the entertainment and experience you provide that keeps us. Just like how we all enjoy hanging out with our friends even when they're just doing boring stuff, it ain't so much about what you're doing its that you're willing to include us with the experience. Just my thoughts.
Been watching your channel for a while now and you've inspired me to get off my arse and active again. I'm retiring this year at 67 year old, I've been buying wild camping kit for months now & plan to start in a small woodland a couple of miles from my home, managed by the local council on behalf of Yorkshire Water. Back in the 80's I spent three years in the territorial army, became a member of the shooting team, won some awards including a bronze & a silver at Bisley TASAM. I loved those times, especially the fieldcraft exersizes. Keep up the good work, including the talks on mens mental health. One man commits suicide every 2 hours, this is a sad result of modern life & something needs to change...
Mosquito nets are essential. I also prefer a tarp over the top closeish if it;s going to rain or a bit higher up if it's hot. I prefer to use one of the big wool blankets rather than a foam pad in a hammock. I tend to use a lighter sleeping bag and if it gets cold those are perfect.
We love watching your videos mate. It motivates us to get out into the woods wild camping. We live in Essex and either go to farm land with permission or get into Thetford Forrest. I love it there it feels like home. Thank you for all the effort that goes into what you do. 👍
Mate we live in a country now that’s ashamed of are own heritage, ive always love camping and been out in the woods, 10years in the army then all of my life hunting/shooting/ working forestry and loving and respecting our fantastic country side!!
Struggling with my mobility at the minute and can't get out to camp, so this video has been that exhale for me after a long week! (Yes, I know its only Wednesday as I'm watching it!) I totally get what you mean about leaving things at the car and using a solo as time to get some headspace! Thank You 😊
Hi Craig. Been watching your Vids for a few years, inspired me to get out and do the same like I used to do when I was younger. Done a few Thetford camps as well as the lakes, Peaks and many other locations. Thanks for entertaining us all when we can’t always get outside! Maybe see you out there sometime.
I'm doing okish, struggled this last year after marriage break up. Took up cold water therapy, so off for my sea swim tomorrow which always makes me feel good. The connection with nature is a healing balm.
Hi Craig cracking hammock and camp mate I don’t get out as much as I’d like too but when I do there is nothing else can touch the peace and quiet of the woods , and yeah defo clears the mind of all the hustle and bustle of life I absolutely love it will have a look at beaver craft looks a real good kit that take care and have a great day all the best 👍👌🔥🔥🚣🏻🚣🏻
Loved this one especially, thanks for giving some extra hammock tips! I would love if you added an image in the corner (pop up like your text) or described what to look for when you talk about tree species,you know so much and I would love to learn more!
Been away a while so not seen any stuff from you for a while. Loving the big hammock, had one for years but not really ever used it. Must give it a try. Keep up the great content dude 👏
I suppose ive had a good week, if I think about how some other peoples might have been. This video is great. I appreciate you talking about mental health and how camping can be a medicine. I live up north in an area i think i could wild camp but dont in fear of, erm i dunno, being caught or looked down upon maybe. Anway youre an inspiration. As for upload frequency, you do you man. Keep up your passion for photography and camping. I share it but live it vicariously through you and others for the time being. I hope to do it for myself sometime and as I said, You're an inspiration for that. Peace and Love Top Shagger. X Edit: Would love to see the cooking process X
Love watching your adventures. Weeks been brilliantly. Watching this currently in Florence. By the time you might see this I’ll be in Cork. Understand you totally. If people do this properly and respect the nature no issues. Keep going 😊
Great to have you out and about and follow along. I don't comment a lot but I think I've caught almost all of the bits since I've subscribed.Just always nice to have a relaxing regular dude on an adventure without politics and dumb shit. Cheers!
Always good to see you out having a cool camp, like the hammock. What's Ben up to, has he got his own channel or just chilling in peace. You two were hilarious together 😊
Doing great Graig, how are you? I've recently been gifted my first daughter so not getting out as much as I used to. Had a local camp in a woodland on Friday in Suffolk and it pissed down all evening, July in the UK 😅 Before that, we had a few camps in Thetford forest over winter, found and stayed at your shelter one evening. We should meet up and go for a camp with a few of my buddies soon, were all like minded people! Good vibes ✌🏼🍄🌳🔥
Yeah I live in Manchester there’s no real woodland to escape to. Even the peaks is more open hills than woodland and since Covid it’s packed. Love the channel bro smashing it.
I am one of those who lives in a city and always wanted to go wild camping, this channel gave me the nudge! I try and do a few a year with my Dad and Brother and am always passing on nuggets of knowledge I’ve learnt from your channel, so cheers Craig! 🏕️🍻
Hi Craig! I'm feeling pretty good, turning 53 in a few days and happy to still be alive. We're car campers and prefer camping without a crowd of people unless its a few very good friends, if we can't make it out for a camp we go to the beach or head to a local national park for a walk, love from the Gold Coast, Queensland, Australia 🇦🇺 😊
God bless Craig, we love you just as you are. Always happy to see a video if you have time and are in the mood, but don't put yourself under pressure, it's not the way. However....(sorry😅!) thanks for this one, brilliant ! 👍😅😅
I'm 32 and I try to get out at least once a month, even if it's just in the patch of woods behind my house. And I swear I tend to sleep better in my hammock than in my bed😅
Hey Craig i like doing this in my backyard which keeps me legal,too many karens like to spoil your fun without even understanding the enjoyment you’re having ,this rough camping is great fun!👍👌
I live just outside Newport, South Wales. I'm 70 years old, been camping since I was 10. Like yourself I'm ex-forces. I'm out every day with my dog for 4,5,6 hours and overnight a couple of times a week. I enjoy meeting people with the same love of nature. I apologise in advance, but all the arseholes that go out and think they can do what they want, leave all their litter, set fire to everything. etc, etc, really p~ss me off. End of GRIPE. Love your vids.
To be fair I'm really stressed at the moment im a doing a loft conversion at home all myself ,works mega busy too I don't get any time to myself not even at weekends , your videos really help atleast get a feeling for what it's like getting out n camping , hope I can get time soon I need it . Keep up the vids
It’s a northerner thing to call the evening meal tea? My family always called it that and I never knew why some here called it tea and some dinner. I’m Tasmanian, and southern Tasmanian at that! 43 degrees south…🤣 My week’s been good so far Craig, thanks for asking. 🤪 Looks like you’ve had another good camp. And thanks for dispelling a myth that may have only been in my mind about side-sleeping in a hammock! 👍 I have a lay-flat hammock which is really great though.
I use a ridge line to give me the perfect hang everytime, underquilts always, never get a cold back and I lay diagonal for a flat sleep and not a banana which gives me backache, Wooooo buddy.
Great to see you again at the Bushcraft Show albeit briefly ...yet another great bit of content in this video Craig ..and I don't get out in the woods anywhere near as much as I'd like..my own lazy ass fault..my bad...maybe another community camp???
Nice to see you waffling on and chilling out in your choice of habitat mate, the woods are a wonderful place to be, we've been down Cornwall a lot lately, visiting family, her side, and friends and chilling on the beaches eating Pasties. Stay sharp mate 👂🏻👀👂🏻 and all the best to you and yours 👌🏻👍🏻
Doing well here in South Norfolk.. have managed a few camps. but this weather is a pain in the *ss.. Happy to see a vid as and when you can put one out.. Take care
Your videos are always banging. Been enjoying for years. I'm no bushcrafter for sure. Car camper here. And no ambition to change. But watching how it's done is most enjoyable. Keep on camping brother!
I go out as often as I can to some spots, have one for fishing one for a woodland built up camp etc. Always mindful of my fire's footprint and what may be in the soil under the fire. Biggest fear by a long shot is a root fire, so if I'm unsure of a fire in a spot, its bush buddy, folding firepit or no fire at all.
Buzzing had yours and Lukes very nice knives arrive today. And watching this before I go to bed. Great video. Keep up with whatever content you want to put out, brother ✌🏻💚 Top Shagger 🤙🏼🤟🏻
I tend to use the Jetboil, but just for peace of mind, I'd use a box stove, or the base of the kelly kettle. I think it's horses for courses mate. Got another little tip for you...with the hazel...green branch, use the spine of your knife to scrape into nest type fibres and let it dry in your pocket. Ferro rod spark when its dry (doesnt take long to dry either) and there's your starter flame. Gotta love a hammock...I curl up in mine on my side. Loving the carving kit by the way
Fellow veteran from the US here I visited London many times I love this you’ve done beautiful job here thanks so much mate. Well done.
I just got back from a one nighter with the dog, cooked a chicken on the same setup you did there minus the hanger obvs. Once again, it was you who inspired me 3 years ago to get off my arse and get a bag together. When I needed advice, I dropped you a message and you replied, helping me no end. So thanks again Craig, you sir are a legend! 🙏🤙🤟👍
Hi Craigy ,
save those GU pots , a Pringles lid , makes them a really good storage pot !!
Cheers
Phil
I used to do this when a lot younger, I'll soon be 67 but walk for miles almost every day plus do a little weights, press ups and bands for strength.

Dylan and Haley ❤
Hello again Craig. Good to see you out & having a lovely fire with your hammock. I do go to my local woods sometimes and make a fire for a cup of tea.
Good people with good free thinking souls can completely govern themselves and live life with peace of mind.
I've been watching your channel since lock down, I've been getting into wildcamping, and I'll be jumping into the bushcrafting side soon enough 😊
I somehow managed to miss this video popping up, so just caught up now and you've reminded me that it's been absolutely ages since I last did a hammock camp in the woods! Might have to get on that soon.
Thanks for a lovely chilled video 😊
Thanks for the hammock tips. I'm setting one up on my balcony in the city to chill in this summer. Keep up the good work.
I love a northern mam expression. “You’ll spoil yer tea” was one of my mam’s favourites. Another was, every day when we asked her what was for tea, she’d say, “sh*t wi’ sugar on” 😂
Yer can’t beat the north east 😂
As well as the s with sugar we got told "Duck and fancy". After many a funny look it translated to "Duck under the table and fancy you've had it"
You are correct Craig, being outside & in nature is therapy. It never fails to clear the mind. 🍺✌
My week has been good so far.
Totally agree with you when it comes to people not thinking for themselves I've watched this channel for about 18 months / 2 years and will keep doing so.
Hope everyone is well 🤙🏼
Really reminded me of your earlier videos bro haha it’s great that you haven’t strayed too far from the beginning! Always real, always true and that’s what people love about ya dude. 🙏🏻❤️
I don't go wild camping, but I get that big exhale at my allotment and when I'm setting up my rods. I can actually feel my body change. Keep up the good work shagger 💙
Well said ❤you do respect the areas where you camp out so you are doing no wrong
Nice camp and video dude! 2 more sleeps until my next one! Glad you are making time for yourself outside of RUclips too! Peace ✌️💚
I love to get out and about... mixture of mountains and bushcraft... really helps switch off from work
I've recently started a channel ... more for memories for myself and so my kids can maybe watch when I'm dead and buried 😂
Love your videos... keeping it real 💪
Canoe camp down on the River Thett weekend just gone, sporadic wild camper. Love it.
Iv just got back from my weekend out in the woodland I absolutely love this sort of stuff sleeping under the tarp or even stars . I’m all good thank you and feeling refreshed hope your doing well

I'd love to go camping, I'm not very mobile and don't know anyone I could go with - plus I live in London at the moment. As for my week, it's been crap - raining so I can't even enjoy going to the local parks and getting some air. Thanks for these videos, I really do enjoy watching them. (Gu puddings are VERY nice!)
Let me know . I'm in London too. Not ventured out myself. I've got the gear but not taken the step! Lol
I wild camp regularly with friends, in the woods, sometimes on a beach, yes we always have a fire.
great vid, given me some ideas. Nice to see someone straight to the point and it's a shame you didn't put up the tarp as a demo. Great clean up at the end as we all hate tossers that leave the place looking like a Beirut rubbish dump. thx.
💯 mate👍 The forest seems to act like a negativity barrier, & any negative stuff in the head seems to get filtered out upon entering.
Love a good hammock camp. Here in the Pacific NW we've got huge trees, so you end up packing more weight in hammock strap than you do in the rest of your sleep setup Hammock camping is always the most comfortable camp for me. But, I've noticed I've gotta get up and water the dry trees more in a hammock than in any other sleeping setup. 😅 Looks like a great day in the woods, decompressing from the madness.

Really enjoyed this, watched whilst I was out hammock camping (in the rain).
Been watching your channel for a while now and you've inspired me to get off my arse and active again.
I'm retiring this year at 67 year old, I've been buying wild camping kit for months now & plan to start in a small woodland a couple of miles from my home, managed by the local council on behalf of Yorkshire Water.
Back in the 80's I spent three years in the territorial army, became a member of the shooting team, won some awards including a bronze & a silver at Bisley TASAM.
I loved those times, especially the fieldcraft exersizes.
Keep up the good work, including the talks on mens mental health.
One man commits suicide every 2 hours, this is a sad result of modern life & something needs to change...
11:38 - psychic captions?
Great video, looks like a mint place to spend a while.
Love your vids. They keep me motivated to go out. I’m heading to the east coast next week. Minimal tarp tent set up. Keep up the good work Craig.
Mosquito nets are essential. I also prefer a tarp over the top closeish if it;s going to rain or a bit higher up if it's hot. I prefer to use one of the big wool blankets rather than a foam pad in a hammock. I tend to use a lighter sleeping bag and if it gets cold those are perfect.
Desamus here from Ontario Canada, Thanks for the new vid! Always look forward to the new vids.
We love watching your videos mate. It motivates us to get out into the woods wild camping. We live in Essex and either go to farm land with permission or get into Thetford Forrest. I love it there it feels like home.
Thank you for all the effort that goes into what you do. 👍
Love watching your channel, you respect the environment carry on as you are
Yesss mate 🫶 that meal looked banging. Weathers been so awful here in sheff I can’t wait to get out for a couple nights 🏕️
I'm good, thanks for asking. Fully engaged with this content
Mate we live in a country now that’s ashamed of are own heritage, ive always love camping and been out in the woods, 10years in the army then all of my life hunting/shooting/ working forestry and loving and respecting our fantastic country side!!
Me and a couple of my friends often get out on Dartmoor and our local woods and do this kind of thing dude! Love the vids keep it up!
Struggling with my mobility at the minute and can't get out to camp, so this video has been that exhale for me after a long week! (Yes, I know its only Wednesday as I'm watching it!) I totally get what you mean about leaving things at the car and using a solo as time to get some headspace! Thank You 😊

Camping in woods is the best way to relax and find connection with mother nature
Never wild camped, but you are inspiring me to try, thanks!
I'm still grateful the youtube algorithm suggested your sea fort video to me a couple of years ago, still here and loving your videos
Loved this one especially, thanks for giving some extra hammock tips! I would love if you added an image in the corner (pop up like your text) or described what to look for when you talk about tree species,you know so much and I would love to learn more!
Random life hack for ya, those little GU cheese cake pots ... lids from the pringle tin fit nice and snug on them creating a sort of seal ...
I use them to make candles in. Just use the stub ends of any candles I've got, melt them up and add a new wick 👍🏻
I'm doing well Craig. I enjoy camping in the woods and the by the sea. Solo and with mates love a fire 🔥 🌳 🌲 🏕 ⛺️ 🌊
Been away a while so not seen any stuff from you for a while.
Loving the big hammock, had one for years but not really ever used it.
Must give it a try.
Keep up the great content dude 👏

Another great offering Craig, keep em coming 🤘
Great vid Craig loving the hammock
Only ever been wild camping once but will definitely be doing it again soon 👍🏼
Another excellent video, just keep doing what you're doing mate, no changes required, it's spot on. Best wishes, Mark in Illinois 👍🏴🇺🇸🍻
Love watching your adventures. Weeks been brilliantly. Watching this currently in Florence. By the time you might see this I’ll be in Cork. Understand you totally. If people do this properly and respect the nature no issues. Keep going 😊
Living in cornwall it's hard to find places you can relax when out more of a stealth camp but only peace my adhd brain gets is out in the woods
I do this and do agree in not knowing why people get a bee in there bonnet about an outdoor fire but fires in houses are OK 🤷♂️
Great to have you out and about and follow along. I don't comment
a lot but I think I've caught almost all of the bits since I've subscribed.Just always nice to have a relaxing regular dude on an adventure without politics and dumb shit. Cheers!
Always good to see you out having a cool camp, like the hammock. What's Ben up to, has he got his own channel or just chilling in peace. You two were hilarious together 😊
Midnight for me pal last video before bed😁🤙🏼
What's happening Craig? I haven't been able to get out in the woods for a while and watching your videos from time to time helps me chill out 🤘
Good watch again my next hammock is that dd
Doing great Graig, how are you?
I've recently been gifted my first daughter so not getting out as much as I used to.
Had a local camp in a woodland on Friday in Suffolk and it pissed down all evening, July in the UK 😅
Before that, we had a few camps in Thetford forest over winter, found and stayed at your shelter one evening.
We should meet up and go for a camp with a few of my buddies soon, were all like minded people! Good vibes ✌🏼🍄🌳🔥
Hi Craig, yes I get out and do this sort of thing. Just really testing the water on solo camping. Started my channel a few months ago and loving it.
I’m a better person for doing it, how you doing Bonny lad..😎
Oi oi fella, top video as always 👌 we are celebrating 20 yrs of marriage today with a fish n chip supper and your video, cracking 👌
Yeah I live in Manchester there’s no real woodland to escape to. Even the peaks is more open hills than woodland and since Covid it’s packed. Love the channel bro smashing it.

That video chilled me out cheers Shagger 🤘
I'm 32 and I try to get out at least once a month, even if it's just in the patch of woods behind my house. And I swear I tend to sleep better in my hammock than in my bed😅
Hey Craig i like doing this in my backyard which keeps me legal,too many karens like to spoil your fun without even understanding the enjoyment you’re having ,this rough camping is great fun!👍👌
I live just outside Newport, South Wales. I'm 70 years old, been camping since I was 10. Like yourself I'm ex-forces. I'm out every day with my dog for 4,5,6 hours and overnight a couple of times a week. I enjoy meeting people with the same love of nature. I apologise in advance, but all the arseholes that go out and think they can do what they want, leave all their litter, set fire to everything. etc, etc, really p~ss me off. End of GRIPE. Love your vids.
To be fair I'm really stressed at the moment im a doing a loft conversion at home all myself ,works mega busy too I don't get any time to myself not even at weekends , your videos really help atleast get a feeling for what it's like getting out n camping , hope I can get time soon I need it . Keep up the vids
Wagwan brother, wildcamping, bushcraft and stealth camping all stemmed from growing up around the east anglian pine forests so love your channel mate
...nice one man... 'i try and think for myself'...clearly a man of integrity! ...cheers...
It’s a northerner thing to call the evening meal tea? My family always called it that and I never knew why some here called it tea and some dinner. I’m Tasmanian, and southern Tasmanian at that! 43 degrees south…🤣
My week’s been good so far Craig, thanks for asking. 🤪 Looks like you’ve had another good camp.
And thanks for dispelling a myth that may have only been in my mind about side-sleeping in a hammock! 👍 I have a lay-flat hammock which is really great though.
Always appreciate when you show up on your channel. ❤🇦🇺
I use a ridge line to give me the perfect hang everytime, underquilts always, never get a cold back and I lay diagonal for a flat sleep and not a banana which gives me backache, Wooooo buddy.
Im just up the road in norfolk i always watch ur channel
Really enjoy your channel.....We don't mind you changing it up and going out of the boxed with your adventures
Great to see you again at the Bushcraft Show albeit briefly ...yet another great bit of content in this video Craig ..and I don't get out in the woods anywhere near as much as I'd like..my own lazy ass fault..my bad...maybe another community camp???
Nice to see you waffling on and chilling out in your choice of habitat mate, the woods are a wonderful place to be, we've been down Cornwall a lot lately, visiting family, her side, and friends and chilling on the beaches eating Pasties. Stay sharp mate 👂🏻👀👂🏻 and all the best to you and yours 👌🏻👍🏻
Love your channel greetings from across the pond!!! you have a great sense of humor😂
Doing well here in South Norfolk.. have managed a few camps. but this weather is a pain in the *ss.. Happy to see a vid as and when you can put one out.. Take care
I never used to use an underblanket either, but I swear once you've tried one I promise you'll love it, it's so much comfier
Your videos are always banging. Been enjoying for years. I'm no bushcrafter for sure. Car camper here. And no ambition to change. But watching how it's done is most enjoyable. Keep on camping brother!
I go out as often as I can to some spots, have one for fishing one for a woodland built up camp etc. Always mindful of my fire's footprint and what may be in the soil under the fire. Biggest fear by a long shot is a root fire, so if I'm unsure of a fire in a spot, its bush buddy, folding firepit or no fire at all.
Buzzing had yours and Lukes very nice knives arrive today. And watching this before I go to bed. Great video. Keep up with whatever content you want to put out, brother ✌🏻💚 Top Shagger 🤙🏼🤟🏻
I tend to use the Jetboil, but just for peace of mind, I'd use a box stove, or the base of the kelly kettle. I think it's horses for courses mate. Got another little tip for you...with the hazel...green branch, use the spine of your knife to scrape into nest type fibres and let it dry in your pocket. Ferro rod spark when its dry (doesnt take long to dry either) and there's your starter flame. Gotta love a hammock...I curl up in mine on my side. Loving the carving kit by the way
