- In this video, I head out to the woods on a crisp New Years morning to make a bit of lunch and reflect on the past year. Using my Honey twig stove, I make some coffee and then prepare lunch - a delicious black pudding and mushroom omelette cooked in a cast iron skillet - food always tastes better when cooked outside with real fire.
This week I reached a massive milestone on the channel - 100.000 subscribers - I am absolutely delighted and blown away! I would like to thank you all for your views, likes, shares, subscriptions and your overall support over the past four years, I cannot tell you how much it means to me!
The growth of the channel has enabled me to do things that I wouldn’t have been able to do otherwise and I appreciate that hugely!
This past year has been a challenge for us all and several planned trips have had to be shelved. Looking forward to 2021, I am sure we will all see things slowly return to something like normality and we can all get back out there and do the things we like to do - for me, this includes some exciting trips and collaborations as well as the usual cooking, camping, canoeing, hiking and making videos that I hope you all enjoy.
I would like to wish you a very Happy New Year from Maggie and I and I hope you enjoy the video.
Thanks for watching!

You’ve probably got all the kit anyway 😀
Andy I love your channel!! I love the videos of you and Simon out for adventures together... You two are great !!! Hope you have a great 2021
ANDY! You and Simon should have a 'Camp Off' competition with each other. Judged on things like location, fire building and cooking? Oh and best beer in attendance 🤣
I’m in! Congratulations on your fantastic channel!
Your humility and hard work is why your successful. My family and I enjoy each and every video. My 14 year old Son loves camping and is learning so much from your content. As a Father, I appreciate watching good videos without profanity with my family. Thank you for all that you do.
Simon, u are like "my mechanics" channel,,,, (incredible) your filmography, timing, light, action, editing, smooth, to the point, no insane music.
Ah, the first Simon video of the new year. It has that lovely aura of peace, hope and kindness.
Truly a channel that deserves 100K subscribers and many more.
Absolutely concur. A lovely warm channel and love the adventures and learning. (And Maggie)
I’m in. And we should be thanking you Simon... for everything you’ve taught us and all the amazing places you’ve taken us to. Much appreciated!
Simon, I've been watching your vids for a good few months now, I've not seen this one before, but you have still the same humility and compassion, it's truly infectious.
I look forward to many more videos I'm sure you'll produce. And BTW, your omelette flipping skills are on par with the best 👌
Thank you Simon... you are a wonderful person and it comes thru in your videos GOD BLESS YOU, YOUR FAMILY AND MAGGIE TOO FOR SURE
So pleased you've hit this milestone! Finding this channel restored my faith in UA-cam, no ads and just pure therapeutic content from a humble and all round nice guy! Im in!
You're just such a likeable chap.. And your filming is good too! The subs are well deserved and more will come. All the best to you and your family from Norway ;-)
P.S. I'm not in. Hope someone who needs it wins! I bought that skillet after watching one of your videos.
I need to confess: Im getting a lot of merit points for amazing camp cooking at the moment. The range and variety of the ingredients and the general menu has been noticed by my better half. She knows I watch your channel, but I haven't completely come clean about where all this creativity is coming from.
No need to be thanking your subscribers. Your video content is genuinely excellent and it is a wonderful thing to be able to watch it and share in your Love of the outdoors
I'm in for the competition! Hmm. If I win I might have to actually go out into the woods rather than living vicariously through you!
I'm in! My husband got be hooked on your channel, we watch all your adventures together.We love the outdoors and camp cooking as well. Thanks for all the great ideas!👍
Love your pup Maggie!🐶
A very big thank you to you Simon, you’ve helped to keep us all sane during this ‘weird year’.
Happy New Year.
Your attitude of gratefulness toward your subscribers and everyone who has helped your channel is very refreshing. God bless you!
We in Laurel, MD, USA are greatly encouraged by your kind teaching skills and cheerful community attitudes. Thank you.
Congrats again Simon 👍. Truly one of the most humble and genuine guys on YT. Top drawer content, as always and fantastic prizes. Please count me in. Atb, J 👍.
Hi Simon
Thanks for your enthusiastic videos over the years and looking forward to seeing more in 2023, your becoming one of the few sane things in this crazy world we live in👍 I'm hoping to win one of your prizes 🤞
Perfect start to a hard year offering gifts for people to enjoy the outdoors in these hard times.
Well done and keep up the hard work
I'm in 👍
I’m in. Love the content it’s like Jack Hargreaves meets Ray Mears. Not preachy just a slice of life on this Little Rock. 😂
Fantastic, you put in so much effort in an honest way that makes you head and and shoulders above many others.. keep doing what I , and I’m sure other’s, like watching
Only started watching your channel over the Christmas period, have to say it’s been both very enjoyable and educational at the same time. Especially enjoy your how to make videos, they’re great!
Simon, I'm in! I could really use one of those cooking sets. I LOVE your videos! You have gotten me through this last 2 years, I appreciate and enjoy what you do. I plan to do a little camping in the spring, thanks to the inspiration your videos have given me.
The evening has been saved 😉
Happy New year 🎆
And I am in 😁
Congratulations for a 100.000 subscribers.
Happy New year to you Simon hope all goes well this year
Love watching you Simon. Love watching when your cooking up something. Wish you all the best for 2021.

"I'm In, Or Something Like That" . Thank You Simon For All The Videos Over The Years, And Hello To Maggie.
I’m in. Calm advice and inspiration; perfect for coping with current global issues. Natural therapy.
We just found both you and Andy. We love to watch your adventures, cooking, and gear reviews. Keep up the great work!
Nothing beats time spent in the forest, well done Simon you’ve clearly made a connection with people keep it up mate.
I agree but this is just a plantation, a dead zone where almost no nature exists.
Enjoying your channel. You inspire me to get out in the woods more.
Cheers
"I'm in mate" would love either of the three kits. Well done on cracking 100K subs.
I'm in.
Thank you for a year of fab vids, love them all. Looking forward to 2021 and seeing more awesome trips with you n Maggie. Stay safe and congratulations on 100,000 subs. Well deserved.
I only started watching your videos about 4 months ago but I must have watched over 100, I love them! You are so skilled and give me lots of great ideas for my trips! Onwards and upwards. Quarter Million subscribers inbound!
Thanks for bringing me along Simon, and for giving all of us some escapism. Happy New Year. I'm in.
“I’m in” We’re enjoying your tips and tricks.. being a family of five from the great Northern Maine woods.. the kids can’t get enough of your shows.. Thanks for what you do!!!
I'm in mate great videos
"I'm in" Happy New Year to you Simon and family. Just like to say thank you and all UA-cam connect creators for the great entertainment you have provided over the years . Lets hope 2021 is a better one for getting out more ! Looking forward to watching another canoe trip with you and Andy ,and hopefully the next time Andy will not be ill. Your channel has opened up a lot of other great content creators with the likes of Zed etc. Stay safe all and have fun ! :)
Definitely inspiring! Made me want to get out and do some cooking after the camp kitchen video. Thank you for your videos. I’m in!
I'm in, respect for the way you carried out this draw, very thoughtful!
"I'm in" I only recently discovered your channel, but have been binging all your content!!!
Im in‼️
Your influence on my camping life is huge.
I'm always watching you from Japan.
I am fascinated by the beautiful scenery you project.
We will continue to have great camps‼️
"I'm in!" I just recently discovered your channel and have been burning through your videos! Absolutely love the content. Keep doing what you're doing!
Simon, I hope you realise how much you have done for others in a difficult year. Loved the video. Oh, and can I say - I’m in!! Les
"I'm in"
Many greetings from Germany and a happy new year.
I'm in!
“I’m in” Simon. Fantastic job as usual. Genuinely, you can’t make enough of these films. Look forward to more of the same. Thank you.
"I'm in".
Simon, I've been a USA subscriber for a bit now and am so glad I found your channel. You are fun to watch but also inspirational. I think your cooking in the outdoors is what kept me hooked, and I'd love to start using cast iron. Even if I don't win, I will be saving up to get a cast iron skillet and twig stove. It just looks so peaceful. Thank you for your channel!
"I'm in" Great work as usual mate. Gutted I live in a city, just hard to get out there!
Congratulations on the 100,000 subs. Very much deserved. This time next year God knows where you'll be 🤘
Great prizes,
I'm in!
Atb Mike.
Hello Simon. Thanks for all your videos. I bought a honey stove last year after seeing your video and used it on my holiday cycling in the new forest. I am in as I can always use more gear ! Thanks Paul
Great video. I have been interested in this for quite some time and now this video just pop up. Thank you for all the information you gave us. I sure going to use it.
All the best,
Adi
Congrats on the 💯k. 👍
I'm in - woman at my side keeps saying "let's watch the bloke in the woods". Thank you and a happy new year from both of us.
"I'm in" Thank you so much for all of the great videos! Happy new years!
"I'm in" Love the videos, very wholesome and entertaining.
“I’m in” from Southern California in the very mixed up US. Your videos are a gift alone. Thank you for your channel.
I was eating that omelette with you. That woodland looks like Thetford Chase. Half expected Dad’s Army to turn up😁
Hi Simon, thank you for another 'delicious' video. Love the cooking in your video's. Doing that outdoor is the greatest thing to do. i love it! Would be even better with your prizes, so I'm in 😃
"I'm in" too, please Simon. Love all your videos, and appreciate the amount of work you put into them. Another request for more on your Defender too, please! Loved seeing what you've done to it. Thank you and best wishes
I'm In. This is well deserved. You always deliver prime quality videos, and with a variaty of content. Keep it up, and god speed.
I'm in - just been talking about getting a twig stove so this could be perfect timing...!
"I'm in too!!" Thanks Simon. I just love watching your videos. Keep up your gentle, knowledgeable, peaceful videos.
Count me in, Simon ! I’m from across the “pond” so not sure if that matters. That’s ok. Always a great to watch videos anyways. Faves are your travels with Maggie ! All the best in the new year, Simon, and continued success with your Channel and your videos !
“I’m in!” (Something like that!). You deserve every sub Simon. Now I have to go cook some black pudding and eggs! Yummy!!
Really enjoyed omelet, made me hungry.
Just love east Anglia, and Norfolk as a county.
Used to live there.
Blessings Simon and family. From a fan in New Zealand.
I am so glad I found your channel. You have taught me quite a bit; my favorite Brit!!! Lol. You like everything I like in getting away and using bushcraft skills which I have been learning along the way. Thank you for your videos and please don't stop making them. I have learned knots, the shelters with the tarp, and Dutch oven cooking techniques. I just bought a new Dutch oven, so I am looking for people like you to learn from. Thanks.
I'm in for the drawing!!! I really enjoy your content and have learned a thing or two about bushcrafting... so thank you 👍
I'm hoping that one day you'll have over a million subscribers so you can make more videos for us to enjoy. Cheers from Canada.
I’m definitely in 👍👍👍
I’m in! You’ve inspired me to get outdoors, camping, cooking and being closer to our British natural world with my wife and dog. Love the content.
A fantastic inspiration, I have got back out in the great outdoors with my son during 2020 as best we could and it’s been wonderful. Count us in for the generous competition. Thank you!
PATHS BE DAMNED 🤣 Happy New year from Canada🍁Simon. 🍻 Edit: Count me in for the comp 😉 and good luck for the year ahead sir.
Yes please!! Looks great, especially the O'boy!!
One reason I stopped backpacking in the UK is exactly what you mentioned: you can never really get away from people. It's one thing I appreciate out here in the southwest of the USA.
I'm in!
So good to hear all the effort that goes into your videos is earning enough reward to keep making them and take a step back from the 9-5.
I'm in. It'd go well with the Wilderness Chef book I got for Christmas.
I’m in. I don’t even like black pudding, but could be tempted, nothing better than a
stealthy lunch!
Careful - once you've had black... Pudding... You'll never go back
"I'm in" Congratulations on the hundred thousand Simon!
I appreciate your channel and what you are doing. Your projects are an inspiration and sharing your experience in the natural world is a joy to watch. You've gotta love those mystical pine forests! I can't wait to get out this year in the Southern Sierras with my sons myself! (before it gets to 🔥!) Best wishes from the U.S.A. and I look forward to seeing more videos this year!
“I’m in!” But as I live in the US, if chosen could you find a good local bloke in need who would appreciate and use the kit in my place?! Such a well deserved following for your tireless candor, honesty and authenticity. Keep it up. 👍🏻👍🏻
can i put myself forward as your elected "local bloke" ?? , greetings from the UK Phoeff , hope some sort of normality in your country returns before too long my friend!!
🙋🏻♀️🙋🏻♀️🙋🏻♀️Me please 💞
Why can't it be sent to the US?
@@charmainegentz9543 maybe it can but then the cost of shipping (cast iron remember!) would obviate the point of the giveaway which is to thank his supporters for the support we give him. It’s not supposed to cost him extra money!
@@waynus2021 thanks for the well wishes but I’ll leave it to Simon to determine who needs it and besides it’s not like I’ve won anything yet!
O’Boy as a competition prize? Heck yeah. Count me in Simon!
I am in. Thanks for the fantastic content. Enjoy every video. Cheers mate.
"I'm in"
Very generous! Love watching your vids! Happy New Year!
"I'm in", greetings from Ålands Islands, Finland.
I am in
"I'm in" Love the videos
One suggestion I have is that after every food video where you make something you could leave a honest score of 10 rating the food you have eaten.
Happy New year to you and your family!!! Its always a pleasure watching your vlog thank you!
watching you from California USA
"I'm in" I have to laugh every time you tell us that you can't go anywhere in the UK where there are no people. Here in Northern Alberta where I live I am blessed to be able to leave my house on my side by side and within 5 minutes from town be totally on my own for days. (even longer) Plus I can carry a knife, Gun, crossbow etc with no worries. I never want to take this freedom for granted.
lucky bugger , since covid even my beloved Dartmoor has become packed with people.........
"I'm in"
Thanks for making lockdown bearable.
Can't beat cast iron cookware, we've been looking at the Netherton ones with detachable handles which makes them pretty compact. Thanks for another years worth of great videos, your laminated paddle video came out a day after i was contemtplating making a laminated centreboard and rudder for our Mirror. Great timing! Looking forward to more canoe trips, long distance path walks and some more trips with Andy (and Maggie!). Next on the cook out list is the Sag Aloo I think, looks delicious! Oh, also, I'm in!
I’m in, I came home for Christmas and my Dad introduced me to your channel, now regular viewing for us both as I’m here for the forceable due to tier4, thanks
I am in!
Congratulations for another milestone, looking forward to seeing the BIG million coming soon.
Am I dreaming or you mentioned a website somewhere?
i"m in. never had a twig stove, but would fit nicely in the canoe
ha,i would be carefull with a twig stove in the canoe!
@@patrickj8984 would certainly warm things up if I had an alloy boat though....
@@chargingabout ha,ha
I’m in brother, thank you for everything you do with this channel. I use your videos as therapy, incredibly relaxing.
Bushcraft therapy, yes sir.... it has the same effect on me. Nature has healing power, come from its Creator, and it even has a relaxing effect when you are just enjoying it vicariously.
"I'm in". Just recently found your channel and finding it very comforting during these times of grief and uncertainty. Thank you very much
“I’m in, or something like that” 🍄🍳 🏕, this and Kent survival are the two best channels
100% agree with you there
I agree!
“I’m in” any chance of seeing more Land Rover camp content 👀
The cast iron skillet is beautifully designed. Well done Simon! Cheers Mate!!
I'm in. Love your show, the food looks great.
