    I am in a different environment than you, here in western Pennsylvania in the U.S., but our forests are similar to yours, so I always learn something from you. Plus, I always enjoy your kind demeanor, your respect for the forest, and your enthusiasm for the woods. Be safe, and enjoy the forest!

    your weird camping setups with the weird/different tents brought me to the channel and i have enjoyed. Felt you had some actual skill behind the "fun" stuff and its nice to see you do indeed have bushcraft skill. Never doubted it but nice to see for someone new to the channel. Your bushcraft is great, your cooking is great, your weirdness to do something different is great, your personality is great.

      Yeah but he speaks a foreign language. This might help, Ok, new translation coming up for all the English speakers out there. Here we go. Fink = Think, Eevver = Either, Somefing = Something, Fornhill = Thornhill, Wivv = With, Fin = Thin, Slivvers = Slithers, Someink = Something, Togevver = Together, Froo = Through, Free = Three, Fing = Thing, Finkin' = Thinking, Wiff = With, Ovver = Other, Frills = Thrills, Fank you = Thank you, Anovver = Another, Somefink = Something, Levver = Leather. I did lose count to the times "Fink" was used. Just wondering, is this the way kids are taught to speak in schools In Engerland?. I fink it's time to go, Fanks and bye for now.

    I accidentally came across this channel and was captivated for a few weeks and watched a few videos. Now the adventure of camping is alluring and I'm passed the age of enjoying it but I am however past the stage of enduring endless hours of wood sawing and chopping. As soon as I see that dreaded saw appear I fast forward only to be bored by the bedtime hot chocolate.

    • @maxotat
      @maxotat 6 месяцев назад

      I find the bedtime hot chocolate to be the most comforting part of the video! It helps me settle in as I watch this before bedtime. I imagine myself in my own favorite camping spot, preparing for the adventure of sleep, with the lullabies of the birds and other critters. These have become my favorite videos.

Who wants to eat a creature that didn’t get to live even a full month?! I’m no longer a vegetarian; in fact I eat carnivore. But not baby creatures. Andy, I’ve enjoyed all of the cooking vids I’ve seen of yours, except for this one. I think I’ll keep the memory of your hot chocolate in my mind, instead. 🙂

It is of a high-quality felt and is properly stitched around the brim edge. Perhaps you could provide a link to the maker/seller.

    Not sure how I've missed watching this one because I never miss an episode, or so I thought! LOL! I do love it when there is a good bit of real bushcraft going on - creative cover, making your own pegs and bed. Enjoyable to watch. Also, the forest morning sounds are wonderful! the little birds and the doves and whatever else that is out there. I think I heard a woodpecker as well. Your little poussin looked wonderful! My air fryer at home is one of the toaster oven styles, and it has a rotisserie in it, so I love doing a cornish hen in there. Yes, they always turn out so juicy and tender!!
