    Great video on a nice backyard campout. Really enjoyed this one Simon, even though I didn't win! Thanks much for all you do here on "the tube", it's much appreciated. I had to chuckle when you put your boots on without shaking them out... You would never do that here in South Alabama! 😁 Thanks again!

    Thank you again always good. I like that tent. I always fly a tarp over my tent as we do get a lot of snow here. Also it keeps the summer sun from heating up the tent. While you were showing the mat on the exterior I had a thought. They could add a little tent like bag that breathes yet water proof for shoes or boots. Have a great day.

    Hi Simon
    A handy basecamp / homestead trick for splitting logs is to take an old trailer tyre laid flat on your chopping surface, then vertically load your logs in the middle so as you split them with your axe they stay "in the loop".
    Thus they don't fall onto the damp ground and more importantly it saves your back from all that bending down to pick it all up !
    Stay safe !
    Si.

    I could hear the mud squishing about underfoot! We know a bit about that here in New England. Great to see you making the best out of a "lock down" situation. No luck for me yet, maybe next time. Thanks for your time Simon. Great video as always.

    Glad to see you staying safe at home and not making unnecessary Journeys even if it's just to keep us entertained, cheers.

    Nice swag Simon. I've run swags for over 30 years. Love it. Hope you get years of use out of it. We season our swags by wetting them down or throwing them in the bath over night and then dry them out. This shrinks the seams and seals up the stitched area preventing weather ingress.

    Brilliant video. If you have a garden and new kit to try out, it's the best place to find out what you get on with, what you don't get on with and make mistakes. Better there, than miles away, in the middle of a freezing cold winter's night. Hope this channel continues to soar, fantastic stuff, you deserve every sub.

    The swag is awesome! Congrats to the winners, though it's agreeable that being subscribed to such an awesome blokes channel is a win in itself! Squidge on!!!

      It’s a very efficient way of feathering and you have more control too - just got to be careful of those fingers!! 👍
