That is some beautiful scenery . I feel like I am camping when I watch your videos but I don’t have to do any work so I love it. Donna Northern MIchigan USA
Beginning at 2:40, Andy described the little woodland as something from Middle Earth, and indeed, it has that look and feel, maybe even Dr. Suess's whimsicalness. A Simon and Andy collaboration wild camp in this magical woodland would have been divine.
Dude, you and Simon have the life id rather live. Id trade you any day. I thought id retire driving coast to coast trucking. Unfortunately i got put down due to becoming disabled. Living the life of pain turned misery since i very much miss being on the road. Would love to camp again. But thanks for your videos like i said to Simon i live through the videos to keep me sane. Ive watched all of his and will have to backtrack to watch all of yours. God bless you
36:50, what an idyllic and pleasant spot. Magnificent and stately trees. The sheep bleating in the background is quite soothing. Beginning 39:15, "Quite a slog today; my dogs are barkin'. "
I didn’t realize it until I watched this video and really to to heart what you said about beginning to feel claustrophobic being in the trees so much! I live with so many trees and I have been beginning to feel the same but just didn’t see it. I can’t leave here but I certainly can take down some trees to let in more sunshine ….that’s for sure! Thanks so much for your videos and all you offer not only in sharing information about things you have tried out and your great cooking but, also, of yourself which adds so much to your videos Thanks again! God bless you and your endeavors!
My neck of the woods! Walk here often with the dogs. There an old dissused gun powder works further up the road,its got the tall chimney still standing and tumbled down houses. Its called Powder Mills. Well worth a visit on your next trip down to Dartmoor! Love your videos,they are fab!
Powder Mills ! Of course - gives the game away somewhat - looks lovely round there - Grimpen Mire from the Hound of the Baskervilles came to mind in all that mist lol
Wow, cant believe I've been following your adventures for over three years now Andy. I have to say i really enjoyed you returning to the shelter you built in the forest. Sending you good tidings and festive blessing 🙌 🙏
"My dogs are barking" It's a long time since I heard that! This is a fine spot to camp in the ruins of the farm buildings, just thinking of the people who lived here long ago and their history. Your hike over the moors was brill, I loved the traditional stone bridge.
That was one of the things that hit me when I first started watching this channel: I was always scanning the background for danger. But no mountain lions, no coyotes, no wolfs, no rattlesnakes, and no bears. I suppose for some taking the danger out might be a negative, but not for me.
Beautiful countryside. I love that you do your photography and explanation as you go along. It feels as if we all are right alongside with you exploring and camping. Have a safe, fun hike ❤️
Great seeing you out of the woods and out into the open air Andy!😊👍🏻 Yep that wood looks like a set from LOTR! Next weekend I’m going for my first solo camp for a long while - not been bike packing for a few years as my MS has got a bit worse - so doing it at a camp site to get used to it again, then looking at venues posted in the Nearly Wild Camping Club. My perfect birthday weekend treat! 😊
You're a absolute joy to watch! You've always got a big smile and a kind word and that is extremely hard to find in this world these days my friend! Please keep on doing what your doing because from one camper to another, you're nailing it! Can't wait for the next video take care brother.
Lovely camp Andy!💚 I remember that place from that older video! It is still a beautiful place to camp. Ooooh and the wild horses too! Superb! Glad you could get away and have a change of scenery. I’m looking forward to your next camp. 🏕🔥🦌
Loved getting a cherry cobbler out of a USMC MRE, used to make my day, chicken sausage and beans for breakfast, meatballs and pasta for dinner followed by the cobbler 👌
Great one Andy!!!! Loved that drone shot of your second camp. That site looked amazing. Love seeing you out on Dartmoor also. I'd like to see it myself one day. First read about it in Hound of the Baskervilles back in high school. Really enjoyed Doyle's description of it. He was really able to form a vision in my mind. Thanks for posting. Wish you the best.
Andy, I don't know how I missed this one. Thought I seen them all. By far, this is my favorite. Love the history. More like this if you could. Best wishes from the US.
Lovely video, thanks for taking us with you. It's astounding to look at those huge rocks and think people put them there; that bridge was awesome. Take care.
Seeing the channel name brings back memories of ranging out from my house in Riverview Park on my trusty Raleigh Chopper, sometimes with a friend and we had little primus stove, water bottles, a simple bivvy sheet and some blankets and we would head out into the wilds of Kent. Cobham woods of course was a good campout unless the hermit gave us a hard time, Sheppey was more common esp as had an uncle and a father who worked for BR in and around there but we did adventure further like the old fort at Borstal and one heroic effort we made it to Reculver but we were so sore from the ride we bunked the train back next day with our bikes persuading the guard to make a stop at Milton Halt (handy having BR dad and uncle). Now in Dorset but do miss Kent a lot.
This is the first time I have caught your channel. I find that you fellas are quite funny. I use these camping videos for the natural noise to fall asleep to. But you guys are funny. I will be looking for more of your videos particularly the rainy ones.
23:49 Give my regards to Frodo and the rest of the gang at the Shire! What an absolutely beautiful area! Doubt i'll be able to go see it in my lifetime but I sure would like to.
Nice enough tent, but i would still always go for an outer up first tent for backpacking. Too many times the weather so bad the inner would have been soaked in seconds. Good to see the pack food has improved over the years, except army rations, which may have improved but still not the best. Another nice vid, thanks.
Ahhhhh that's better. I've been working or off grid the last wee while so I've missed these videos. That's probably the only good thing about coming back from the wilderness, catching up on your adventures. 🍻👍
Another brilliantly made short film which I enjoyed immensely. Good to see you out of the forest and enjoying the space. All the best to you mate. Cheers 👍🙏❤️
That woodland seemed to be open to sheep to graze! Sure-fired way to lose it if there is no new growth. Terrible shame, as you rightly say it is so beautiful. Oak trees don't last forever so an oak woodland needs to regenerate with saplings. The only way to do that is to ban sheep.
Hi, this is Dartmoor national park, the moors are common land mostly have been used for cattle etc for a thousand years or more, the protected areas are walled off from the grazing animals. :)
Thanks for the video mate. I have to say that the ruins you camped in is one of the prettiest and most serene places I have seen on any video yet. Lovely.
Lovely walk about Andy. I enjoyed see the land scape all around and yes I remember the sudden blizzard from last time you were there. Seems the one thing to remember about the moors is expect anything in the ways of weather. Would love to see you do this again. There are a different place. Nice change . Thank you for sharing your journey with us all young man. Be safe and Take Care.👍👍👍👍👍
Thanks Andy, love these relaxing videos (just chilling). You're an extremely skilled video maker, making the viewer feel you're addressing them personally.
I didn't expect the moor to be so pretty! One of my favorite Sherlock Holmes stories is "The Hound Of The Baskervilles."
That is some beautiful scenery . I feel like I am camping when I watch your videos but I don’t have to do any work so I love it. Donna Northern MIchigan USA
Love those ruins and all that stonework. That mist begs for a strange tale.
Lots of tails about this place a lot of supernatural bs unless u believe in that stuff its aprently very haunted
This is a fabulous trip. Your country is just beautiful. Thank you for sharing your travels.

Dartmoor is renowned for its changing weather,
It's fantastic for anyone living in the city of Plymouth to know that this is only 15 miles away.

That’s beautiful country. There must be something in my Scottish DNA as that seems to be like the places my ancestors were from. Thanks for posting.
God Bless you Sweetheart ❤ We love your videos. Thank you 😊
You seem like a nice and kind man, you look different today. Loved this video
"My dogs are barking" It's a long time since I heard that! This is a fine spot to camp in the ruins of the farm buildings, just thinking of the people who lived here long ago and their history. Your hike over the moors was brill, I loved the traditional stone bridge.
This is a 'dream' venue for North Americans: no bears; few other predators; clear rushing stream...and so on! THANKS for making this video for us!
Apart from the occasional slightly disgruntled squirrel 🐿 you’re pretty much ok 😀
I don’t think so
Thanks for reminding me how lucky we are to have places like this in the UK . Best wishes.

Wow yes indeed well said!
The surroundings remind me of the play brigadoon that is in the U K and it comes out of the mist only once every 100 years . Love that play

He left us all there ! Yussssss it’s so beautiful
I never realized England had such beautiful countryside until I found your channel. Great video, cheers Andy!
It beautiful - come to the moors and coast of the North Yorkshire Moors National Park - you will be blown away
@@darrenwilson8042 I'm in the US, but if I ever make it over there I'll definitely keep that in mind 👍
@@darrenwilson8042 give skegness a miss though🤣🤣🤣🤣
The south coast is better than Yorkshire. Come down to Cornwall or the wye valley
@@GazD49 I'll keep that in mind if I ever make it across the pond!
You're a absolute joy to watch! You've always got a big smile and a kind word and that is extremely hard to find in this world these days my friend! Please keep on doing what your doing because from one camper to another, you're nailing it! Can't wait for the next video take care brother.
Absolutely love Dartmoor & Bodmin.
That place is so beautiful!
Lovely camp Andy!💚
I remember that place from that older video! It is still a beautiful place to camp. Ooooh and the wild horses too! Superb! Glad you could get away and have a change of scenery. I’m looking forward to your next camp. 🏕🔥🦌
That bridge and old farm are incredible, like a glimpse into 500 odd years earlier.
Try 2500 years old. It's called a clapper bridge.
Good one Andy,thank You.I have been bing watching as have not watched you for a few years.Trying to catch up again.
🇬🇧🇨🇦
great hike, lots of different terrain. really enjoyed the meal prep very interesting using the different packs.
excellent, beautifully filmed video, thanks. really like the nature detail shots. and did anyone notice the magic sheep duplicating rock at 35:42?
Living vicariously. Thanks mate for including us.
What a beautiful spot to camp at the old farm! I’ve always wanted to visit the Moors , so thank you for taking us with you on your wander!
Vicious wooly creatures and wild horses! You're a brave man.. 😉😂
Loved getting a cherry cobbler out of a USMC MRE, used to make my day, chicken sausage and beans for breakfast, meatballs and pasta for dinner followed by the cobbler 👌
I love the beautiful scenery of the lake. Nice.❤❤❤❤❤❤😊
I wonder how old that rock bridge is. That’s amazing
Its called a clapper bridge , me thinks it is the one at Postbridge 👍

Beautiful woodland!
I love camping next to the river, so soothing!
I saw your video with Andy and the chicken and now i'm laughing so hard at you and Steve. I just subscribed.
Wow what a beautiful place
I went from watching Braveheart to this!
Wow, as you were walking threw the 'moors' it reminded me of the movie, 'An American werewolf in London' ! Keep off the moors and stay on the road !
Thank you. Heard the cuckoo bird!
I'm in Phoenix Arizona USA, nice to see your beautiful country side. Thank you.
Hay Andy happy to back love watching you
Nice hiss...Steve would be proud....great video Andy!!!!
Spectaccular scenery !
If you struggle to light a trangia, pour some fuel around the top inside the lip and light that instead.
What a stunning place. Great video.
Yes I remember that video Andy. You gather your firewood in that forest where you came from 👍🇵🇭
Yomping around dartmoor, oh that brings back memories as a young royal marine.
Love the channel, kerping doing it your way.
Your country is beautiful. Thank you for allowing us to come along on your journey.

This was a really nice camping adventure! I would love to know more about that abandoned farm.
What a lovely video, as always. A perfect video to unwind to
Another brilliantly made short film which I enjoyed immensely. Good to see you out of the forest and enjoying the space. All the best to you mate. Cheers 👍🙏❤️
Love ur videos Andy your the king of British wild camping like the rest I watch the rest I find you more interesting keep up the good work 👏
It's great to see how happy you are out and about. Has me smiling too! relaxing vid as always man
When we say "Brew" in Canada, it means Beer! I always get confused when you say that :P Love the content!
It's the same here in America and he confuses me too LOL

Nice to see the old farm ruins again. Cheers!
I love the new intro, much more in keeping with the low key, relaxing nature of the channel.
New scenery. The drone gives an excellent perspective. Thank you for taking us out of reality and letting us dream.
Beautifully filmed
That was a really enjoyable video. Thank you.
So wonderful!
Such an interesting landscape and the farm buildings and rocks cape, beautiful❤
That area reminds me of South Dakota
Beautiful scenery. That's a serious stone wall & that rock/stone bridge looked really nice.
Incredible. What beautiful countryside that is 👍
I haven’t heard that saying about your feet calling them dogs , but we would say our dogs were barking . I enjoyed the blog
Loved this one! Beautiful country. I chuckled at the lamb cameo at 30:30 🤣
Oh my god the place you picked is absolutely beautiful 🤩
All nice and tidy . Would love to have seen this area a thousand years ago . Have a great week . Lefty in New Mexico .
it was my understanding that the Monty Python Dartmoor Rabit was even more dangerous.
Very good impression of Dartmoor, Andy, thanks 🙏🏼.
Ah nothing to fear from that Rabbit if you have the Holy Hand Grenade of Antioch. Just count to three...

I went to Wistman’s wood a few times when I was at college down that way. Magical place.
I like how you introduced your gear. Very important to know. Thanks.
Awesome as always
Lovely part of the country Andy, thanks for showing us x
Well done Andy as always!! Beautiful woodland!! 🙌Awesome camp with quality gear!! 👍 All the best 💯
At 11:25 showing what you have brought with you. I was wondering where’s the beer. Lol
