Bushcraft Canoe Camp on the Secret Island. Wild Camp with Kent Survival.

- Опубликовано: 3 окт 2024
- In this video, I head to the secret island with Andy from Kent Survival for a bushcrafting wild canoe camp in a lean-to canoe tarp setup. We tuck in to an amazing beef stew and dumplings cooked by Andy in his dutch oven whilst enjoying the warmth and glow from our campfire, washed down with a few ales and a few laughs. In the morning we get stuck into a bit of spoon carving after hearty breakfast wraps. One of the objectives of the trip was to name the island, well, we sort of forgot (whether that was due to the ales, I’m couldn't say!) so its still just ‘secret island’! Thank you Andy for the top company and laughs!! Really hope you enjoy the video and thanks for watching!

I can't begin to tell you, just how much your's and Andy's channels have helped me over the past few weeks. I've been suffering with ill health for some time, and not being able to get outdoors has been making me very depressed. Your wonderful films have really made me smile and got me out there (kind of).
Thank you both so much. And happy adventuring 😊👍
Thanks Matt! Really glad the videos are helping mate. Hope you’re able to get out and about soon!! Atvb, Simon
In the same situation, Matt,. Andy and Simon are great for when you're down, totally positive and genuine fellas.
Hell's yea!
Hope you two lads are feeling better..
John Aitken - good surname...... what part of the world are you in? I grew up in Scotland but live in Australia now. You're a good man for putting positive remarks on the post of a struggling brother 👏👏👏👍
Matt Payne absolutely spot on
SPAM!
My God I love it!!!!!!!
Never heard Andy be so funny!
He’s a funny chap!! 😁👍
@20:18 Andy looks like he's carving a parsnip. 🤣🤣
If you can't carve your own parsnip store bought is fine!
AWESOME!!!

This duo remind me of Simon Pegg and nick frost lol great video and energy
Super video ça fait plaisir.
Good job some of us are old enough to get the cornetto song. Makes a change from humming the Hawaii 5 0 tune.
love the all in one breakfast in a pan, and bung eggs in at the end. Thats been one of my tricks since the early 90s.
Good bit of filming.
Gary.
Cheers Gary! Had to be done! Geeeve eeet to meeeeee! 🛶
Awesome to see you guys together 😊!
As you do, start with coffee , breakfast and then polishing a bit of wood in the morning. Nice spoon.
Awesome 👍👍👍🥓🍳
Cheers Jonas!
Nice one chaps !!!
Thanks William!
Nice buddy weekend! Looks like Andy did a really good job with that stew... dumplings sounds like a really tasty addition, gonna try them in my next pot this winter. Been spending a lot of time outdoors with a friend of the family (my wife's cousin's husband). He is a really good guy and its been real fun getting to know him better. He has access to a cabin in our local foothills and we are planning a rabbit hunt weekend and cooking said rabbits when the weather gets cooler.
Keep these videos going, you have a keen eye and a gift for showing outdoor fun!
Don't know what I will do once I finish watching all of yours...I guess I'll have to start watching Andy's...lol
Haha - Thanks Rod! Hope you have fun on your bunny pinging trip. 👍
Great video guys 👍👍👍👍
Thanks Daren!
😍 Loved it!! You pair are an absolute crack-up together!! (Shame Andy got ill when you went to Sweden). My fave two British RUclipsrs...you really produced the goods on this one. The shelter with the kayak was a great improvisation. Thanks to both of you for providing great content & positive messages to all those struggling along with life at the moment, you make a great difference & entertain so many of us around the world👍👏👏👏❗️
Thanks mate! Andy and I need to organise another trip when this virus/lockdown eases! 👍🏕🔥🛶😁

@@ross5961 I've been watching. I have PTSD
You guys have done it again, just bliss, and...……………. SPAMS OFF!
Hahaha - it nearly made an appearance for lunch! Next time!!
Kent sure can 'throw down' with the Dutch oven grub ( ;-) I know, I know, I just had to go there to make Andy feel at home. If he changed his channel name to Andy Survival, most would get his name right ;-) ) lol. Outstanding 'Voyageurs' camp with a bit of relaxing spoon carving and fellowship, Simon! Thanks for sharing.
Haha - cheers Gordon! It was a great camp - great, comfort grub, fantastic company, loads of laughs and a couple of ales! Glad you enjoyed it too! Atb, Simon
Simon.. what a delightful friend, Andy is! i enjoy his channel too... almost as much as yours. Glad to see you two are such good friends. Best wishes.... and thanks for sharing. Ax
OMG those breakfast wraps look amazing!!
Next time send a breakfast wrap down to me in Australia 😀 they looked GOOD ! 👍
They were good! I think I need to diet after that weekend! 😁
I had so much fun watching you two blokes on an island laughing and goofing around! No hayfeaver, no diving for cameras, no paddeling around to find a place to rest your heads...
I loved it, seams a new dream-team is born 😉
Thank you Bee! It was a much more relaxing trip - I made sure my GoPro was secured to the canoe with a lanyard - no way I was going in after it at this time of year haha! Cheers!
Good job Andy's old beard! 😂
Makes a surprisingly good tinder!! Who knew? Cheers, Simon
hehehe! 😂
Nicely done mate, great edit 👍🏼
Thanks buddy!
Great video, Simon. I really enjoy seeing you guys having a laugh and enjoying the wilderness. Thank you
Cheers Nick! 😁👍
Congrats on your 100.000 members!! Can you please do a review on light Folding chairs ?? My old Bones need them !! Please !! thanks ! Love following Your Videos !!
Uuuuhh Boy, a New Bloke in The Woods video:) yes please:)
Hahaha - cheers! 😁
Allowing Andy, a man of Kent, to make dumplings in Norfolk!
As a Norfolk boy I am not sure what to make of that!
Sacrilege maybe?
Hope they were tasty Simon.

Criss
They weren’t bad, for a Kentish effort! 😂😂😂
Belle cuisine de plein air , belle partie de canotage , et beaux cygnes . Beautifull swans . 🪵🦢🦢🛶🍲🤗👍
Watching this and Kent Survival´s ¨Making Off¨ put a smile on my face!
Thank you Victor!
That was a good time Simon. I really enjoyed that
Looking forward to the next one
Thank you matey! It was good fun!
"Spaam"! LOL.
Loved this Simon, comforting to watch with a poorly cold, great food and location helps me feel better :) , in my lovely native Norfolk, haha looked like you had fun too with Andy.
Thanks Georgina! It was a great camp, lots of laughs, good food, good company! Hope you feel better soon! Simon.
Simon, a bloke in the woods Thanks Simon
sat here eating moose liver & onions while i watch your video, And that stew is making me hungry...while i eat.. lol
Hahaha - it was a gooood stew!!
It looked amazing to be hones, and im not a real big stew person.
Chris Hillier moose, you are joking, right?
Fantastic, thanks for that lovely video!
Very soothing. Had camping like this for decades now. I'm looking forward to the next spring.
Great camp looked like a lot of fun.. Did I here a Monte Python reference? spam....lol
Carl
Haha - Yes, it’s becoming a theme when Andy and I get together! 😂😂
Definitely turning into a cookery channel.
Haha - Yes, getting a bit like that - I’ll try to rein it in!
@@simonablokeinthewoods ;@) No bad thing.
Enjoyed the video as always and nice to see a friend out with you , stew and breakfast by the fire looked amazing I am sure it was not spam lol , will look for Andy's channel best wishes :)
Thanks Jackie! The food was really good - diet time now haha! Andys video is great - some great ‘behind the scenes’ clips! He captured the essence of the trip beautifully!
Thanks Simon, your canoe camping videos always manage to bring a mellow attitude and relaxed smile to my face. And for me that's the point of canoe camping in the first place. Some folks always want to make a race of it...how many miles can we make by sunset...set up camp by head lamp, break before dawn and race again. I like to leave the rats to race at the day job.
Me too Bruce! For me, canoeing is about tranquility and relaxation! Really glad you enjoyed the video. Atb, Simon
Me and a good mate wild camped on Denny island which is in the top part of the Bristol Channel to raise money for 2 charities, we both slept under the small boat which we used to row between the work boat which took us out and the island..
It was January and we really shouldn't of gone but the pressure was on so we went, we had 5 days and night of 70 to 80 mph winds and bitter cold nights and days..
One night the tides were up and the seas were crashing into the island and sending spray over the island and pounding our upturned boat! It was a brilliant experience but not one I'd do again in a hurry.. lol
Luckily the day we were due to be picked up the weather calmed down and we made it home safe..
Another great video..
Man, that sounds like you had a real challenge!! Well done and especially for seeing it through - I bet you raised a fortune! Good on ya!
Simon, a bloke in the woods a couple of grand from memory, to be honest we didn't really have any choice but to see it through once on the island as we couldn't get off!
Another great video, planning a canoe trip soon, not an overnight one but a post Christmas blow out the cobwebs one.
Can’t beat a chilly post Christmas paddle! While everybody is still rolling about on the floor in a food induced spasm, nursing sore heads - you’ll have the waterways to yerself!
Another great video of your trip to the secret island. The stew and breakfast looked tasty.
Well done.
How incredibly fun!!
Always get so excited when a new vid comes out and always so amazed by them all.
Cheers Andy! Appreciate it mate!
Awesome video! thanks for sharing and stay blessed
Thank you!
Looks like yall had fun bud. Cheers from texas.
Rock on
Cheers Tim!
Dutch oven cooking, you cannot beat it, we have a wooden tripod over our fire pit where we use our dutch oven constantly even during our winter (-16 C at present) makes lovely bread. Enjoyable video again, good to see people enjoying themselves without the need of a mobile phone in their hand! The outdoors, you cannot better it.
There is something about food cooked in one isn’t there! I’ve baked bread in mine too, except for a little scorching on the bottom (my fault!) it was perfect! Cheers, Simon
Hi Simon.
Another great video and delicous food 😋😁
Thank you for this wonderful film.
Best regards Thom ✌🏼
