Well, that old Land Rover has ONE good thing going for it. It is a remarkable aid in helping the owners to be Rover mechanics. 😄 Heh, heh…. DAMN, how can somebody own such a giant body of water? LOVE that Firebox Stove. Simon, I bet family loves when you practice cooking at home…sooo good! Or, is the campfire the only time you get to eat meat…heh, heh…😊? Sitting in the cold rain, a long way from the car and comfort of home, making a video for us…man-o-man, Simon !!! Do you ever wonder why you have so many RUclips followers? I don’t. I hope you celebrate a wonderful birthday. 🎁🎊🎉 Thanks from an old retired vet, in the hills of east Tennessee.
Beautiful little video simon. It is so nice to see the different seasons on the river, also your canoe is stunning. Cheered me right up watching this. Thanks

Hi, Just been watching this again.... you are certainly nowhere near as precious with that beautiful boat as I am with my lesser boat!! Anyway, am now able to look at that area anew having paddled around there in my wood canoe and camping, this summer. You are so right that Salhouse is rammed in the summer, and with the cash grabbing miseries by the pontoon...I decided to give it a miss. You inspire me to try some solo winter paddling there, or anywhere! Despite all... the Broads, for those that don't know them are wonderful to visit by canoe...at any time
Cold And Rainy . . . Weather . . . A Canoeying Trip To The Broad . . . A Spicy Pork Lunch With Sauce . . . Enjoying Life . . . Great Video . . . Inspiring Us More . . . Cheers . . .
Sound of the water rippling as you go through it, lovely relaxing sound, never remember the Broads being that empty even in winter, must be great having them to yourself. Enjoy your birthday with your family.
This very important phenomenal educational experience bushcraft channel and the video he’s makes are great amazing way to help people learning their phenomenal bushcarft skills and learning activities about beautiful outdoors and I am glad be supporting this phenomenal man and his amazing phenomenal bushcarft channel 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️🤴🤴🤴🤴🤴🤴🤴🤴🤴🤴🤴🤴🤴🤴🤴😀😀😀😀 I hope that you arm get better soon
I am happy for you Simon. Piece of tarp could be ery useful in sucha scenery . It's dredful to be on the water completly soak in wet. I enjoy watching your videos.
Simon I don't know if it was mentioned by anyone but if you have a decent dry bag you can use that filled with water for ballast when windy. The bonus is you can empty it when you need to portage and refill on the other side. 😊 Cheers
You certainly picked a lovely day for it..ha ha..! I quite like fishing in the rain ...! I have a two piece floatation suit I bought for shore fishing ( sea..) Luxury it is in bad weather...and so toasty. With the hood up, its like a sleeping bag. I felt the scratches as you tried to get the canoe over the weeds.....I love that boat..!😁 Cracking video again...Thanks for taking us along...Cheers 👍
Thank you, you give me great motivation to go out and enjoy the outdoors, getting out my canoe this weekend ( not near as nice as yours ) and hitting the Chattahoochee River close to my house. Thanks again. Cheers!
What a beautiful way to see the broads, I wish I could be bothered to shift my arse from the fireside and go and see the Norfolk Broads in winter for myself. Very nicely filmed and edited too. Thank you...
Great little video Mate! You are right to be cautious of those sauces, some are extremely hot. BEST of Wishes for a Wonderful Birthday, to a Wonderful Friend...Atb Von
Oh where to begin? The slide guitar? The Broads in winter? The fabulous boat of yours? Or pork belly and chilli!? Fabulous....I shall be continuing my excursions up on the Broads this year in my wood boat. Have a great birthday,,,,,really looking forward to seeing something of the Swedish trip! Thank you...again!
The one I had now was really nice, (cutaway sticks head in water and drinks a gallon) , I found this video very relaxing as I had just come in from shoveling at least 6 inches of ice and snow off the walkway.
I’m not in the least bit envious. No. Not at all. Really. Sigh. Lincolnshire. Not a lot of woodland accessible. Virtually no waterways.. Nice spice pack mate! Love your videos Simon, always a joy to watch and to see your obvious joy in what you are doing. Best wishes.
Just getting into bushcraft myself through my wildlife photography and I'm really enjoying your videos. I'm from Norfolk myself so it's good to see recognizable places in your videos. Thanks for sharing :)
Hey Simon, I absolutely love your content! Found you recently while searching for a completely unrelated topic, but I'm very glad to have found your channel!
@10:20... portage, mon ami, portage!! lol Great vid. Love it when you include canoeing in your videos. Pork belly looked delicious... could almost smell it from here!! And an early Happy B’day to you!!
Well done Simon, you made a great job of the video, look forward to seeing you out again especially the one you mentioned doing with Andy of Kent survival, thanks for sharing 👍
Great film as ever Simon, most impressive to persevere in all weathers. Delighted to hear about your trip to Stora Le and can’t wait the the stories about Sweden. My lad’s badgered me to go to Sweden with him so hopefully we’ll canoe from Kloten in September (we did that trip in 2012) with another couple of guys. Happy birthday too 👍🍷
Thanks Stu! I’m so excited about Sweden - not knowing where was good to paddle and where we could hire canoes, we were naturally drawn to Stora Le (that and the beautiful picture Dave painted of the place!) I hope you have a great time in September! 😁🛶
I've wanted to due a paddle so bad these last few weeks but still froze and lots of snow cant wait till we thaw out the rivers get up and I can get out as always love the vids and living vicariously through your adventures !
Hi Simon.. another wonderful video...shame about the rain..but hey ho god old British weather ..loving the firebox yet again one of my fav piece's of kit..during bad weather I always carry some charcoal in a zip lock bag enough to fill the firebox halfway and woodwool fire lighters works great.. keep the vids comming and happy birthday for the weekend 👍🍻
Very nice. We're a bit short on navigable water in Colorado--all manmade reservoirs, tiny trout streams or heavy duty very fast/deep/dangerous rapids. On the hot sauce, just stay away from anything north of habanero peppers on the Scoville chart--no ghost peppers or Carolina Reapers.
Thank you , Simon .
🐺 Loupis Canis .
The Firebox stoves are the best (IMHO) pack stoves made. I have one set up in each of my camp kits. Priceless. Another awesome video sir. Thank you.
Sometimes bad weather is the best weather. Thanks for the adventure.
I commend your quality footage Si. Heavily under appreciated imo.
Another great video Simon. As you said you should always bring a tarp so that you can get out of the rain at least for lunch!
Great couple. Always watch your video's and enjoy it. It is a same i live on the other side of the water ;)
Your videos are a tonic. Thanks Simon
Hardcore bushcraft mate! "Rain, cold, wind who cares I'm going out!" good stuff 👍👍👍
Cheers mate! Cant let the weather stop us eh! 😁💦💦💦💦🛶
we used to holiday on the norfolk broads in the mid 70's at stalham and had a chalet and boat,loved it.
Love that canoe
thanks again for this Video.so i see you have no snow in England...youre lucky.my canu is sleeping still....wating for the sun.hi from Bavaria. Chris.
Curious, do use a compass when you paddle across large boards like this? If so, maybe a video about how you use your compass in/ on your canoe trips?

Thank you! Glad you enjoyed it mate! 😁
Excellent video once again Simon, Thanks for taking us along.
Nice canoe Simon!
I like how you checked your blind spot at 26:50 before you set off 😂
Mirror, signal, manoeuvre! It’s instinctive, I nearly got run down by an electric boat a couple of years ago!
You certainly picked the perfect weather for a day out in the canoe. You looked very cold and wet.. Great watch though mate 👍
Simon, a bloke in the woods King Billy!! I love it 😂😂
Simon, excellent video! 25 point bonus as well !! I have never heard another person pronounce ferrocerium correctly!! Cheers from southwest Michigan!
Hahaha - thanks mate! 😁
Wow ,here in Canada ,anyone can enjoy the waterways...great video anyways,,,cheers
Your made of stern stuff You Norfolk boys. Good content coming up, can’t wait. Happy birthday for next week. Liked the music 👍
Thanks Martin! 😁🎂
Awesome canoe trip and I simply adore the Norfolk/Suffolk broads and rivers. Take care...
Cheers John!
Keep it up bro, Respect😇

Hi Simon thanks for such a great vid and nearly getting frost bite to make it you more than earned the belly pork.
Hi, Just been watching this again.... you are certainly nowhere near as precious with that beautiful boat as I am with my lesser boat!!
Anyway, am now able to look at that area anew having paddled around there in my wood canoe and camping, this summer. You are so right that Salhouse is rammed in the summer, and with the cash grabbing miseries by the pontoon...I decided to give it a miss. You inspire me to try some solo winter paddling there, or anywhere!
Despite all... the Broads, for those that don't know them are wonderful to visit by canoe...at any time
Winter is the best time to paddle the broads! 😁👍🛶
Hi. I love your videos, so thanks. Your canoe is a thing of beauty.
The swan was excellent
Cold And Rainy . . . Weather . . . A Canoeying Trip To The Broad . . . A Spicy Pork Lunch With Sauce . . . Enjoying Life . . . Great Video . . . Inspiring Us More . . . Cheers . . .
Thank you!
Thanks for another great video, Simon! Hope you got to warm up properly after this trip.
Thanks Denise, I did eventually - the heating in my Land Rover is non existent, but I warmed up at home! 😁
Sound of the water rippling as you go through it, lovely relaxing sound, never remember the Broads being that empty even in winter, must be great having them to yourself. Enjoy your birthday with your family.
Thank you Trev! Yes, I expected to see a couple of boats puttering along too. Blissfully quiet! 😁🛶
I loved watching Great Canal Journeys. One of my favorites was the Norfolk Broads episode.
Have a happy birthday!
Thanks Rosie! 😁

Stunning place the broads I’ve been there a few times on holiday we stayed at stalham on a river boat
I am happy for you Simon. Piece of tarp could be ery useful in sucha scenery . It's dredful to be on the water completly soak in wet. I enjoy watching your videos.
Thanks again for sharing, very educational. Looking forward to your future video clip adventures.
By the way, Happy belated birthday.
Nice video Simon, I loved the music, it just "fit" the video. Thanks from Kentucky :)
The pork belly strips looked tasty, Simon. I'll be looking for your adventure in Sweden in May. Thanks for sharing your adventures!
Geez, they breed them tough in Britain! Thanks for the video and have a very happy birthday Simon.
Thanks buddy! 😁
Oh, pork bellies, yum! Great exploration paddle in the rain. Thanks for sharing!
Mmmm more belly pork Si. happy birthday for the weekend mate. Al.
Cheers Al! 😁
Nice day to be out! Very beautiful area!
Simon
I don't know if it was mentioned by anyone but if you have a decent dry bag you can use that filled with water for ballast when windy. The bonus is you can empty it when you need to portage and refill on the other side. 😊 Cheers
About 3 seconds after I thought tarp you said it. Love the firebox and the food. Nice video, thanks
Thanks Chris! 😁
Awesome canoe trip Simon! 'Kiss of Death' huh? lol...Sounds like an ass kicker. Those pork bellies looked really good.
Thanks mate! I’m going to try that one next time! With a big old glass of milk!! 😂😂🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Well done for getting that fire going, the rain and cold can be a challenge. "If it ain't raining, it ain't training"
Cheers Andy! I’m going to remember that saying next time I’m struggling in the rain! 💦💦💦💦💦
You certainly picked a lovely day for it..ha ha..! I quite like fishing in the rain ...! I have a two piece floatation suit I bought for shore fishing ( sea..) Luxury it is in bad weather...and so toasty. With the hood up, its like a sleeping bag.
I felt the scratches as you tried to get the canoe over the weeds.....I love that boat..!😁
Cracking video again...Thanks for taking us along...Cheers 👍
Cheers Robert! Wish I had a dry suit that day! 💦💦💦💦💦 thanks mate. 😁
Looks bloody cold and damp and miserable Simon....I love it haha very very good video most enjoyable mate
Thank you, you give me great motivation to go out and enjoy the outdoors, getting out my canoe this weekend ( not near as nice as yours ) and hitting the Chattahoochee River close to my house. Thanks again. Cheers!
Happy paddling buddy! 😁🛶
Thank you Simon, great canoe, good video shot ... 👍
Great video. I did not know the broads were man made! Happy birthday for next week!
Thanks Andrew! Hard to imagine isn’t it - that’s a lot of digging!
it's a part of the country I have not visited but would like to. It's a bit different to the high peak where I'm from
What a beautiful way to see the broads, I wish I could be bothered to shift my arse from the fireside and go and see the Norfolk Broads in winter for myself.
Very nicely filmed and edited too. Thank you...
Thanks Andy! Best time of year to visit - no hoards of stag weekend revellers and nitwits crashing into every other boat and bank on the Broads! 😁👍
Great little video Mate! You are right to be cautious of those sauces, some are extremely hot. BEST of Wishes for a Wonderful Birthday, to a Wonderful Friend...Atb Von
Thanks Von! I tread gingerly with the hot ones!! 😁
Great video Simon!
Thank you! Really enjoying the Liberty bottle - it’s ideal for the canoe, scooping up water as I need it. 👍 great kit!
That's a great looking canoe
Whoa Simon - i didn’t see you’re past 15k subs. Well done, and well deserved!!
Thanks buddy! The numbers are creeping up, people must be mad!! 😂😂😂
Closing in on 100k now.book time.
Thanks for the video on my birthday. I appreciated it with a cocktail. 👍🏻
Happy (belated) birthday Mark! 🎂
Oh where to begin? The slide guitar? The Broads in winter? The fabulous boat of yours? Or pork belly and chilli!? Fabulous....I shall be continuing my excursions up on the Broads this year in my wood boat.
Have a great birthday,,,,,really looking forward to seeing something of the Swedish trip!
Thank you...again!
Thanks Laurie! I’m sure the Sweden trip will be of mildly epic proportions! 👍🛶🏕🔥🇸🇪😁

Awesome Trip!!! I can't shake the cold watching you!!! :)
Very nice video Simon! Even though it was raining it was still a good one to enjoy. Beautiful country indeed. Thanks again friend
Thanks for another very enjoyable video mate 👍
The one I had now was really nice, (cutaway sticks head in water and drinks a gallon) , I found this video very relaxing as I had just come in from shoveling at least 6 inches of ice and snow off the walkway.
Hahaha - it was warm, but not too warm - the ‘kiss of death’ on the other hand!! 😂😂😂🔥🔥🔥
I'm not even halfway through and I'm thoroughly enjoying this mate top quality youtube! Thanks Simon.
Thanks Nick! 😁👍💦
My Sweet & Zesty Jalapeño is always a safe blend for those looking to test out my sauces. So glad the PCF introduction went well for you in this trip.
It’s a lovely sauce Michael! Bags of zingy, fruitiness with a mild warmth. 👍
Another great video as always. Happy Birthday Simon.
Thank you! 😁
Never saw someone walking so fast with carrying a canoe on top. Good music too.
I’m not in the least bit envious. No. Not at all. Really.
Sigh.
Lincolnshire. Not a lot of woodland accessible. Virtually no waterways..
Nice spice pack mate!
Love your videos Simon, always a joy to watch and to see your obvious joy in what you are doing.
Best wishes.
Thanks John! I always assumed you had a few rivers and canals in Lincs? I’ve not really explored your county at all. Cheers, Simon
Pure magic thank you Simon, it's so beautiful there with all the sights and sounds with some lovely nosh to round it off :)
Thanks Georgina - it’s lovely this time of year, less so in the summer - it’s like bumper boats! 😁
Just getting into bushcraft myself through my wildlife photography and I'm really enjoying your videos. I'm from Norfolk myself so it's good to see recognizable places in your videos. Thanks for sharing :)
Good stuff! Cheers and Happy Birthday

I love the canoe videos. Happy Birthday, Simon. :)
Thank you! 😁🛶
Loved the set up and canoe segments, Simon. Grear stuff as always!
Thanks Derek! Atb mate. 😁
Hi Simon.. another wonderful video...shame about the rain..but hey ho god old British weather ..loving the firebox yet again one of my fav piece's of kit..during bad weather I always carry some charcoal in a zip lock bag enough to fill the firebox halfway and woodwool fire lighters works great.. keep the vids comming and happy birthday for the weekend 👍🍻
Cheers Philip! Wish I had some dry fuel that day!! 😁💦💦💦💦🔥
Very nice. We're a bit short on navigable water in Colorado--all manmade reservoirs, tiny trout streams or heavy duty very fast/deep/dangerous rapids. On the hot sauce, just stay away from anything north of habanero peppers on the Scoville chart--no ghost peppers or Carolina Reapers.
Thanks for the advise! I remember there being a Reaper challenge going around for a while last year! No chance I’m going anywhere near that!! 😁🔥🔥🔥
