Wow it is a Christmas video.. Iike it very much..the dog is so sweet...and you are amazing,Simon you have the most beautiful smile in your eyes...i am grandma,do not be worry...it is the truth😍
just want to say what a good and kind dog owner. this dog obviously has zero problem sleeping in weather like this but he still took up the gear space to bring a blanket what a chad
There you are.....woop, zap, ..a beautiful cedar canoe out of nowhere. It must be Christmas ...and not a Christmas 🎄⛄ in sight (site). Holding my breath to see what you will be spoiling us with, (doing) this year. Love this tent. 🍺🍺. 🍻.
I should have a word with your Butcher, those Sausages were Chipolatas, nowhere near big enough for that Ketchup! I make Corned Beef Hash when the wife is on a late shift and find stirring in a small can of chopped tomatos before the beans helps clean the pan and makes the dish less dry / claggy in the mouth. If you add the chilli sauce with the toms and stir in, that also helps make it better somehow. Have you tried making a corned beef pie? Use left over mash mixed with the beef and fried onion (no beans) and bake as a pie in shop bought pastry, cold, cut into slices, it makes a great way of getting red or brown sauce into your mouth without a spoon!
Another excellent camp, Simon. Only you can take soggy, flooded ground and grey, overcast, chilly weather and make it feel like the most comfortable and welcoming spot to be! Nicely done. Good to see Maggie's fuzzy head again too! Looking forward to the upcoming Christmas video but if you didn't hang a stocking beside the ammo can stove, I'm going to be slightly disappointed. 😂. BTW, you have a small, Nova Scotia care package coming your way. Unfortunately it probably won't make it in time for Christmas. Regardless, a very Merry Christmas to you and your family and all the best in the New Year. Looking forward to it! Cheers! - Darby 🇨🇦
Well Andy stove is smaller but yours looks easier to set up. Maggie is such a terrific companion. Oh my - your meal at the end made my mouth water. Beautiful indeed.
Seriously, a great chill out video Simon and that corned beef hash and beans ... excellent. Been a hard year and times for all but your video(s) are a boost. Stay well.... paul
Good to see Maggie out and about the weather is good for her now. I had to let my boy go on November 30th 😔 ... I told you about him in the summer he was struggling with the heat... he was on wheels for the last 8 months or so but he became too poorly and I had to do the right thing for him. Funnily enough the woman who loaned me his wheels is from your neck of the woods ... her group is called Winston's wheels , the woman who runs it is an angel, without her I wouldn't have got that extra time with my boy.
@@Kathy_Is_Blessed He was an old man , 14 years old and he lost the use of his back legs in December 2019/January which is when I put him on wheels, he loved them for most of the time he was on them they gave him freedom back again but the last few weeks of his life he went poorly and couldn't rest at night so I had to help him out and let him cross the bridge ... it hurts and I miss him but if hes at peace and not in pain then that's all that matters.
Great vdo Simon. I can't help but watching with a smile. A man and his best friend in the wood enjoying what mother nature has to offer. keep up the good work. Cheers!
My ten year old son thought the dogs dinner looked more appetising than your, made me laugh out loud, I was thinking the same. Your camp culinary choices do seem a little 1970s boy Scout. Thanks for the video.
Now that looked like a good time. Nice tent and stove. Good food and a good companion. Hard to top that. Be hard for Kent Survival to top that one. Especially since he doesn't have a Maggie. Take care and Happy Holidays, Al
I prefer a tent with built in/attached floor so no creepy crawlies invading my space. Nice one Maggie - love your style...shelter up - your in. Wet n boggy & looks like more wet on the way. Hope your night goes well & cheers.
ANDY WINS on the MINCE PIE; YOU GET THE GOLD for ACCOMODATIONS! We are having sleet and freezing rain today, so this morning, I fixed OH BOY! hot chocolate for breakfast. We LOVED it! YOU made a wonderful image of the sunrise...but I would have gone back to the sack after that and waited for a bit warmer start to my day. HAPPY HOLIDAYS TO YOU AND TO YOURS!
Love it my dog would do it's best to capsise the canoe. And on a damp evening in Scotland would come back into the tent with a few million midgies in his fur. I'm looking forward to getting back out, til then you and Kent survival keep me sane. Thank you
A good way to clean up pans like that - put a 1/4” of water in it, set it back over the heat, let it simmer for a bit and all of that burnt, crusty comes right off. Nice to see Maggie out and about!
All good. Thanks for sharing. Love seeing how you camp. Super lavau. The Pols are fantastic at winter. You're very clever. Maggie is awesome. Sounded like a pheasant while splitting tinder.
Brilliant Simon. Great square pan as well. Always said we should have more square pans. Other than fried eggs, we don’t tend to cook too many round things! Nice to see your ammo box stove out again! Already looking forward to your Christmas dinner video. Thanks for sharing. All the best Simon. Paul.
Much better than the smokey hut and cub stove 💯 A full ground sheet plus all hand made by yourself and I'm sure it's a little heavier but the comfort that comes with the extra weight, I think it's well worth it especially if it's not a big hike The meal looked delicious and looking forward to the follow up video It's brilliant viewing and thanks very much Simon and season greetings from Dublin city ☮️
That first shot when you’re pulling up to get out of the canoe! You’d had to pull up, set the camera up, paddle back, then paddle forward again... superb videography Simon.
Thanks Craig, I actually ended up shooting that three times - the current in the river (on a bend) kept throwing the boat off line - finally got it right on the third attempt 😂😂
@@simonablokeinthewoods Just goes to prove you're a craftsman inside the workshop and outside when you're behind the vlogging camera! Pure dedication 👌
Simon, for cleaning the pan, sprinkle baking soda into the bottom (about 2 tbsp per cup of water). Add enough hot water to cover burnt parts by 1-inch and let soak on the wood stove for a bit then scrape bottom should come off EZ... If any remains, sprinkle baking soda into the pan and add a few drops of water to form a paste, and rub clean.
After a long crazy workday here in Indiana, I love saving one of your videos for the end of the evening. They are just pure joy. Thank you for sharing your adventures and please keep them coming!
As I was watching this, I had a slight chill from working outside all day. I could almost feel the heat of the stove, as I have a tent with a stove as well. It’s a great feeling beating the weather. As always great video. Happy Holidays to all. Skillet
Wonderful little secret spot that you have there. I haven't seen a tin with a key for a long time here in the States. Keep up the great work! Thanks for sharing!
I love watching and rewatching these wonderful gifts. Thank you for each and every one. I wish you and those you hold dear the best for a safe and joyful holiday season!
Merry Christmas Simon and everyone who reads this

As a Canadian paddler, I applaud your stripper canoe and the fact you are kneeling while paddling.
Tell the Queen to get this guy an MBE, he's a treasure to the U.K.!
Man goes camping with dog and great food. Love it. 👍👍👍👍👍
The way you treat your dog shows what a caring man you are.
Who else thinks that Maggie should have her own channel?🤗🐕

Not long till your one hundred thousand subscribers...well deserved too.Thank you.😷☺️😷
I started and said ‘yeh Maggie’ and then ‘and the canoe’. Marvellous as always and just what I need. Many thanks Simon and Maggie. Judith
Well Andy stove is smaller but yours looks easier to set up. Maggie is such a terrific companion. Oh my - your meal at the end made my mouth water. Beautiful indeed.
Wednesday is my new favorite day
Love your channel. You might try adding water to dirty pan and boil it while scraping .it seems to clean easier.doing a great job
Nice to see Maggie good video 👍
Seriously, a great chill out video Simon and that corned beef hash and beans ... excellent.

Thanks Simon , a nice midweek break from the monotony, I dare say Maggie enjoyed her early Christmas lunch.
good luck.
I love how this man eats the spam with his potatoes and onion and gives chicken to his dog hahaha true love :)
This channel is a genuine joy and inspiration. Knocks spots off anything on TV.
It looks like you and sweet Maggie made the most of a gray weekend. Thanks for taking us along. Stay well.
Maggie is adorable. Dogs are the best creature in the world without doubt.
Now that looked like a good time. Nice tent and stove. Good food and a good companion. Hard to top that. Be hard for Kent Survival to top that one. Especially since he doesn't have a Maggie. Take care and Happy Holidays, Al

Maggie looks absolutely adorable with her sparkly wreath thingy
Wonderful, thanks for sharing your overnighter, a man and his dog Maggie, good food, drink, company a Lavvu and canoe, just perfect!

Just a little wet and cold outgoing but the sunrise sky line paid you back !!! You do everything with so much energy, great thing :-))))))

Makes my day when you upload a video. Thanks Simon. 👍
My family in Canada have the same breed as Maggie, they are lovely. I can't wait to go back to Canada its beautiful.
All good. Thanks for sharing. Love seeing how you camp. Super lavau. The Pols are fantastic at winter. You're very clever. Maggie is awesome. Sounded like a pheasant while splitting tinder.
That teaser footage that you showed has me waiting for that video. I like to cook and that looks interesting and tasty!
Just love a big of Cornbeef hash. Love with a small omelette mix stirred into it
Good too see You and Maggie again Simon. So well sorted as usual.
Ich wünsche dir und der Familie Gesundheit, sehr schöne Weihnachten,und einen guten Rutsch ins neue Jahr. Grüße Sven
Only thing missing from that delicious dinner were two fried eggs on top. Wonderful to see Maggie again. Best regards from a real dog lover.
Your dog IS BIG. IN THE 🛶 she looked like a person with a fur coat on. lol. Pretty cute❤😊
Superb we always look forward to your videos and they always deliver the goods 👍
Another great video Simon, you can see Maggie enjoys herself out with you, food looked good and tasty, thanks for sharing

Thank u, for taking all that gear into the woods for us.
Cannot wait for the next video!
When ya dropped the beans in there I starting nodding and I said out loud “ mmm now that’s a meal “
Hahaha bless ya bro

That meal in the end of the video made my mouth water like h...! Absolutely perfectly done!
It's like we were there camping with you. Thanks.
Another great video of a man with his dog. The corned beef hash looked good
Well done mate getting that much dry wood 👍a bush craft channel actually using river water nice to see
Its a wonderful trip as always, thanks a lot Simon 👍🙏
Nice video. Glad to have something good to watch amid all illegal shut downs.
Thirty Minutes of down to earth honest unpretentious entertainment. Always good to see the Queen out and about. Merry Christmas.
That scene eating sausage Sanger’s in your chair looking out over the river, hamlet moment, quality.
Always a joy joy Simon, thank you 🙏
Great video as always Simon,
Nice to see the modified lavve back out.

Another excellent production, Andy will have been well impressed with the ketchup allocation on the Sausages 😂👍😂👍
I was drooling

Hahaha - can’t have too much ketchup!! I learnt that from the master himself!
After a long crazy workday here in Indiana, I love saving one of your videos for the end of the evening. They are just pure joy. Thank you for sharing your adventures and please keep them coming!
Forever envious of your awesome camps, you find some great places locally
I love your videos. Making some thing to eat while camping makes the food so delicious. It is nice with your cookinginsipration.
Love the video Simon. Amazing dogs and kids never seem to help?? just eat and sleep.
I love your rivalry with Andy, his minced pie looked awesome
Maggie looked cosy laying inside the tent, what good company
Great to have you back on a camping video !!!!
