Well I can see that littering is not just a stateside thing! it appalls me the things that people throw away with no conviction or thought. thank you for policing the area Sandy. and you Mandy and family have a Merry Christmas! and to all watching. ECF
Wonderful video Sandy, right up my street....going out for lunch, I find quiet places next to the river or canal near where I live. I use a few Highlander products, they are a Scottish company. Anyway Have a great Christmas and I hope to see you again in the new year.
Nice to see you again and feeling better! If you know where the land owner lives, you should go and simply ask. Tell him to watch some of your videos so he can see how you take care of the woodlands when you camp. Could be enough to where you get permission to wild camp there - worth a try. From my Family to yours, we wish you a Merry Christmas and a Happy (and Prosperous) New Year!!
Thanks Dan, I'm not actually sure who owns this woodland, but maybe worth approaching them at some point. Thanks for the Good Wishes:) And all the Best back to you and yours for a Merry Christmas and Good health in the New Year Sandy
Thanks Marty, this shelter is great to get out of the wind and sit and take in the atmosphere of the Woodland, I think I shall use it more often. All the best for Christmas and the new year:) Sandy
Good to see you have recovered, Sandy. Hope you had a good Christmas. Thanks for the videos throughout the year. Always watchable. Best wishes for 2024.
Hi sandy excellent video so very enjoyable to watch beautifully scenery cannot wait until the next one happy Christmas to you and all of your family and enjoy 2024.
Good to see you out and about and on the mend Sandy. Good advice as always for the novice wild camper. Looking forward to new adventures for the new year too. Best regards to one and all in the house of the Wiltshire man, may you all have a blessed and happy festive season. Merry Christmas everybody. Regards Moose
Hi Sandy 👋🏻👋🏻. Nice to see you out in the woodlands again, your meal looked really tasty 👍👍. Sorry to hear that you had an abscess in your gum, not very pleasant. Thankfully you are on the mend. Got to get better for Christmas 🎄🔔🎄. Take care, stay safe,well, warm and happy. Merry Christmas to you Mandy and your family and may 2024 be a very happy, healthy New Year for all. Judy🇨🇦🇨🇦
Great video Sandy. But please always get the landowner permission as they might have a problem with deer and the stalker needs to know if anyone else is on the land. Just be careful
It is always best to seek permission I agree but there's not a chance of anyone stalking deer with a centre fire rifle in this woodland, the angles of fire from adjacent private land would mean the shooter is shooting towards public park land. In any case the chances of catching a stray bullet are so extremely rare. A good stalker will always know where his bullet will stop
@@WiltshireMan good point but there’s always someone who watches your videos who wouldn’t know these things there are a lot of townies who want to try what we do but have no understanding of how the countryside works and definitely no understanding of shooting. I just worry that there are a lot of videos encouraging people to get out there but on one explains the dangers. If I was more tech savvy I’d do a safety video.
@@charlesfulcrum3170 thank you. If I knew how and had the balls I would do my own video and explain the dangers. I don’t want to put people off experiencing what we do just keep everyone safe.
Sandy I watch all you're video's. I admire you as you always get out there and have a go👏Absolute legend and inspiration to all 🌲🌳🌱☘🍀🍃🍂🍁🕸🦗🐝🕷True countryman and gentlemen ❤
Litter is an ever present feature of our modern world. Its so depressing to visit what you expect to be a beautiful location only to find litter everywhere. I live in Co Kerry in southwest Ireland in a small coastal community. I am part of an active local group who with the cooperation of our council carry out regular litter picks in the surrounding countryside and we also maintain the village throughout the year. I am proud to say that our community looks so clean and tidy. its great for tourism but its nice for ourselves too. I would encourage community groups everywhere to approach your local council and put an arrangement in place where volunteers will pick litter and the council will remove full bags and pay for their disposal. Wishing you and yours a happy healthy Christmas and 2024..
Thanks Ivan, it sounds like you have created a little bit of Paradise. It is not nice seeing litter and there really is no excuse for it being left there. All the best to you for Christmas too:)
Aw man, pigs in blankets under a tarp. Superb. I’m off to the solstice at Stonehenge in 6 hours. Seeing this, I wish I’d planned ahead and got my Kit together to cook a bacon butty in the kings barrows beforehand. Well done on the litter pick
Good to see you are using the Nova, it is a bit like the Land Rover of liquid fuel stoves. I use a a Quietstove burner attachment on mine. Although not cheap, it really reduces the noise level, fuel consumption and gives even more control to the burn rate.
Great Video and videography Sandy, thank you. I use good old fashioned TCP if I get an infected tooth or any other infections, works well for me, just plaster it round your gums and tooth and cheek and Bingo. Seasons Greetings and Happy 24 OM. 73.
Glad you're on the mend. Dental issues rank amongst the most miserable of ailments. You should seek out the land owner and send him/her a link to this video. I'm sure you would get an immediate permission and be welcomed back any time. Well done Sandy.
I am very glad to see that your health has come back to the point of you being able to get back to what you love to do in the outdoors. It just shows that you can still enjoy an outdoors adventure and not have to spend the whole night out in order to do so. It is always a pretty good idea to scout out your camping possibilities before you head out fully loaded with camping gear and supplies. It is not always feasible to do this but a great idea if you do happen to have have the opportunity. The area that you chose looks pretty promising though so it was great to give it a look. Thanks as always for letting us join you. Have a very Merry Christmas and a very Happy New Year (both you and your family and friends!) See you on the next one wherever it might be.
All the best for Christmas and the New year Terry, a scout out is wise, I need to reacquaint myself with these woodlands again before camping here, they were trashed a while back which is so sad, but it's looking better again now
Another lovely video Sandy to sit and relax to with a nice brew. I very much agree with your thoughts on littering. I just put out a video on wild camping rights and responsibilities and that message of 'Leave it better' is one i really want to promote. As a backpacking community we have all embraced 'Leave no trace' , now time to 'Leave it better'. As you said, it will show landowners we care about their environment and hopefully in the long term will give us greater access to woodlands and wild areas. Thanks so much again for sharing your thoughts and enjoy a great Christmas and New Year.
Love your videos Sandy, you did the right thing in picking up all the litter, now I would go find the owner of the land and tell him/her what you did and he/she may just give you permission to camp on a regular basis.
Nice little day shelter that, W.M. Good job by that Mr. Tightwad. A fine meal, a fine little camp, and good deeds done. Perfick! All the best to the Wiltshire Man household, and hope all are well. First Xmas with the first grandchild, right? Nice! The old Opinels do the job, don’t they? I use one as a kitchen knife in the house. I’ve often wondered whether one of your long handled Wasps(?), with a flat grind of some sort, might make a good ‘camp utility’ knife, but even if you did that I’d stand more chance of getting an Opinel 😂 ! Cheers!
Glad to hear you're on the mend , Sandy. Love the shelter - might have to buy some rip-stop and dig-out my sewing machine! Hope you, Mandy and your family have a great Christmas and New Year.
If you can work out the geometry Steve this shelter is worth it, I think I shall use it a bit more going forward. Are you doing any Winter camping in your woodland?
@@WiltshireMan Camping on-hold at the moment as Mo (my wife) managed to break her wrist quite badly last week (slipped on a wet pavement), so I'm needed around the house. As soon as she's healed, I want to try out my new hammock set-up. Look forward to camping with you in 2024.
Steve, That's awful, sorry to hear about Mo's accident! I hope she is soon fit and well. Sounds like your going to have to stay hunkered down for the next few weeks. I hope you are both still going to enjoy some Christmas spirit though. See you next year! Sandy@@SteveSeadog
That was a hearty dinner but sprouts? Good job it's a sole adventure lol. Sorry to hear youve been poorly I wish you well. Happy Christmas to you & your family!
Thank you for all your content over the last year ..for me you are a voice of reason amidst the chaos..sincere best wishes for Christmas and the new year.
Wow, Greg thats so kind of you to send this gift to me. Thankyou. I am pleased you have been enjoying my videos and I have some nice plans for future videos in the new year, I may even get out for a Camp before the end of this year. Wishing you All the best for Christmas and the New year. Sandy:)
Thanks Noel, We should all do our bit, I just could not leave that mess in the woods just had to tidy it up. As Ken says "Always leave your camp site better than you found it" Happy Christmas Sandy
Nice little scout camp sandy. Stove looks good but for me personally I just can’t seem to break free of my wonderful trangia 27 it’s so so versatile I can can cook anything with it. Meths. Gas. Multi fuel it does everything really well. And for my overnight / days out the trangia triangle. Yuletide greetings and hope 2024 brings you many more happy and safe adventures. Love and blessings to all worldwide 🙏🏴❤️👍😀
Nowt wrong with Trangia Stove, I am also a fan of them, the only down side is the pots are aluminium. Thanks for the Yule greetings which are reciprocated :)
Nice one sandy just as it should be, always look after the land around you. Thankyou for all the great tips and videos you've given us throughout the year, merry christmas to you and your family and a healthy new year to you all.
No problem Tank, A shout out was deserved. The little table is an awesome addition to my camping kit. Best Wishes to you and your for Christmas and the New year Sandy
Nice relaxing one sandy think as get older seat is a must bugger to carry but worth it I got mini fold up one like legs and fabric top bit from decathlon in camo ISH 😂seems sturdy with foam sit mat on its heaven
Hi David, I have a seat like that with legs but they aways sink in the mud and also just a bit too tall for some of the smaller hot tents. The ground chair will be fine for now.
Nice little camp and cook. one of my favorite parts of camping is the outdoor cooking. Got my new crown on a molar today. Teeth are a necessary pain. Keep the tooth if you can Sandy, Have a merry Christmas if I'm away form the computer for a little while.
Sandy glad to see your on the mend, your shelter looks great & your woodland Christmas dinner looked delicious, even if the Brussel Sprouts were smallest I've ever seen. Happy New Year. Dave B Thailand.
Hi Sandy, thanks for taking us along on your scout trip...here in my side of the world we call it a recce (short for reconnaissance). May you and your loved ones enjoy a Merry Christmas. Kind regards👍🏻
Nice looking shelter WW, should do well on a camp. Maybe wise to take some leather gloves out with you if you're picking up litter mate, don't want a cut.
Cheers Si, I don't understand the mentality of people who can treat nature like this, they must have gone wrong somewhere, lets hope they will one day see the errors of their ways and adjust accordingly. Best wishes for Christmas to you and your Good lady:)
Amazing mind blowing thought that we're in the future and there's a flying camera filming you! Great video as usual! Food looked delicious too! Also good on ye for picking up litter, earlier this year I went to my favourite hammock spot to find it had been completely trashed, a 4 foot deep large hole dug and a bunch of smashed up cupboards and drinks cans and dog dirt, even a smashed bench, right where I usually hang. My heart sank! I couldn't carry it out as it was too much, must have been a huge operation to get it in there. .. Anyway I Have a very happy Xmas Sandy!
Hi Micky, thats just how I felt when I saw these woods desecrated by louts, just so upsetting, it put me of camping there since, but it seems they haven't returned and bit by bit I've carried the trash out. May do a camp there again soon. All the best for the Christmas season and lets hope next year is a good un
Glad you're feeling better Sandy and good on ya for taking the rubbish out I like that tarp great setup food looked good too happy Christmas mate atvb Jimmy 😎😎👍👍
Thanks Jimmy, feeling a lot better but still have some tooth issue's, I don't like dentists but I'm glad we have got them. The tarp shelter works great and I hope to do some overnights in it soon. Merry Christmas mate:) Maybe we can do a collab camp somepoint next year? Sandy
@@WiltshireMan definitely be up for that Sandy be an honour to meet you mate I've just had a tooth extraction and 4 nasty fillings cost a fortune just shy of £500 I'm in the wrong job 🤣🤣
Looked a lovely outing bro and a hot meal to boot. Finally got a week of fine weather here but the 27c days were not pleasant. Back to rain tomorrow but 18c over night. Safe travels over the festive season from NZ. Ken.
Your shelter reminds me of one of my favorite pitches called a Holden. I've always used an 8x10' tarp since I'm alone but I recently bought two 10x10' tarps. One has only 8 tieouts so I also bought a bag of 20 tarp clips. That should be enough to allow any pitch i want to use including the tarp tent, the Gunyah, adirondack etc..😊 My other new tarp has 19 tie outs. I figured since I'm due to marry soon I'd better do something, get a larger tarp. She likes to get frisky in the night woods. 😅
Nice time out in the woods video. Thanks for taking us all along with you. Any chance of a Hamshack Sunday vid? Must be going on 2 years since the last one. All the best from Tasmania. Cheers.
Great video mate ,need more people like you in the woods ,Merry Christmas, and a happy New Year to you and your family and happy camping 🏕 🙏 😊 😀 👍. Lee
Sandy thanks for sharing this video and all the other great videos regardless of their content in 2023, and that shelter is great, nice to have something a bit different. You cooked a lovely meal which makes the videos more interesting more so than the readymade ones and that little table helped a lot, have a wonderful Christmas and new year with your family not forgetting the new addition 👋
Well I can see that littering is not just a stateside thing! it appalls me the things that people throw away with no conviction or thought. thank you for policing the area Sandy. and you Mandy and family have a Merry Christmas! and to all watching. ECF
I've taken a fair amount of rubbish out of this woodland this year Ellis. Merry Christmas and maybe I'll hear you on HF?
Wonderful video Sandy, right up my street....going out for lunch, I find quiet places next to the river or canal near where I live. I use a few Highlander products, they are a Scottish company. Anyway Have a great Christmas and I hope to see you again in the new year.
All the best for Christmas John and hope to meet up maybe for a camp in the New Year:)
It's great to see you back out again, Sandy. All the best, fella 👍

I hope that we are still out and about at your age! Love the channel, great video! Subscribed. 😊
Good to see you are recovering. That looks like a nice woodland.
Thanks Patrick, now much better. It's only a small piece of woodland but I like it there:)
Lovely trip out. Those culinary skills get better by the day😀
Aw man, pigs in blankets under a tarp. Superb. I’m off to the solstice at Stonehenge in 6 hours. Seeing this, I wish I’d planned ahead and got my
Kit together to cook a bacon butty in the kings barrows beforehand. Well done on the litter pick
I was almost going to go to the solstice today on my motorbike Steve, I hope you enjoyed it
That sir was a pleasure to watch. Proper chef in the woods 10 out of 10, I'm hungry now 👍👍
Good to see you are using the Nova, it is a bit like the Land Rover of liquid fuel stoves. I use a a Quietstove burner attachment on mine. Although not cheap, it really reduces the noise level, fuel consumption and gives even more control to the burn rate.
Good to see you on the mend again Sandy
Keep up the great work
Merry Christmas to you and your family
Great Video and videography Sandy, thank you. I use good old fashioned TCP if I get an infected tooth or any other infections, works well for me, just plaster it round your gums and tooth and cheek and Bingo. Seasons Greetings and Happy 24 OM. 73.
Thank you for your videos .
Merry Christmas, and Happy New Year.
Glad your feeling better Sandy, have a great Christmas all the best to you and your family for 2024.
Thanks Susan, I am a lot better now Thankfully.
Merry Christmas.

Glad you're on the mend. Dental issues rank amongst the most miserable of ailments. You should seek out the land owner and send him/her a link to this video. I'm sure you would get an immediate permission and be welcomed back any time. Well done Sandy.

Hi Sandy, thanks for taking us along on your scout trip...here in my side of the world we call it a recce (short for reconnaissance).
May you and your loved ones enjoy a Merry Christmas. Kind regards👍🏻
Merry Christmas Sandy. Great video and very nice meal all in one bowl.😊😊😊
Merry Christmas Stan:)
Very nice time out thank you 😊
Happy Xmas Sandie to you and yours.
Thanks Colin, All the best for Christmas and the new year.
Sandy :)
Good to see you out again Sandy, hope you are feeling better mate
I'm much better now, thanks:)
Nice looking shelter WW, should do well on a camp. Maybe wise to take some leather gloves out with you if you're picking up litter mate, don't want a cut.
Cheers Si, I don't understand the mentality of people who can treat nature like this, they must have gone wrong somewhere, lets hope they will one day see the errors of their ways and adjust accordingly.
Best wishes for Christmas to you and your Good lady:)
Cheers mate, and the very same to you and your Mandy@@WiltshireMan
Thanks for the video WM. Wishing you & yours a very happy and healthy Xmas + new year 👍👌
Amazing mind blowing thought that we're in the future and there's a flying camera filming you! Great video as usual! Food looked delicious too! Also good on ye for picking up litter, earlier this year I went to my favourite hammock spot to find it had been completely trashed, a 4 foot deep large hole dug and a bunch of smashed up cupboards and drinks cans and dog dirt, even a smashed bench, right where I usually hang. My heart sank! I couldn't carry it out as it was too much, must have been a huge operation to get it in there. .. Anyway I Have a very happy Xmas Sandy!
Hi Micky, thats just how I felt when I saw these woods desecrated by louts, just so upsetting, it put me of camping there since, but it seems they haven't returned and bit by bit I've carried the trash out. May do a camp there again soon.
All the best for the Christmas season and lets hope next year is a good un

Thanks Jimmy, feeling a lot better but still have some tooth issue's, I don't like dentists but I'm glad we have got them. The tarp shelter works great and I hope to do some overnights in it soon.
Merry Christmas mate:) Maybe we can do a collab camp somepoint next year?
Sandy
@@WiltshireMan definitely be up for that Sandy be an honour to meet you mate I've just had a tooth extraction and 4 nasty fillings cost a fortune just shy of £500 I'm in the wrong job 🤣🤣
Merry Christmas to you and your family. I hope I can join you on a wild camp in the New year.
Looked a lovely outing bro and a hot meal to boot. Finally got a week of fine weather here but the 27c days were not pleasant. Back to rain tomorrow but 18c over night. Safe travels over the festive season from NZ. Ken.
It looks like we are going to have a very mild Christmas day tomorrow Ken, They forecast 15C but turning colder afterwards.
Merry Christmas.
Sandy
I quite like the camo on the trap 👍
It blends in well:)
Your shelter reminds me of one of my favorite pitches called a Holden. I've always used an 8x10' tarp since I'm alone but I recently bought two 10x10' tarps. One has only 8 tieouts so I also bought a bag of 20 tarp clips. That should be enough to allow any pitch i want to use including the tarp tent, the Gunyah, adirondack etc..😊 My other new tarp has 19 tie outs. I figured since I'm due to marry soon I'd better do something, get a larger tarp. She likes to get frisky in the night woods. 😅
Hahaa, a frisky night in the woods !
Nice time out in the woods video. Thanks for taking us all along with you. Any chance of a Hamshack Sunday vid? Must be going on 2 years since the last one. All the best from Tasmania. Cheers.
Great to see you have recovered. splendid video. Have a good Christmas, thank you for all your videos.
Merry Christmas Paul

Sandy thanks for sharing this video and all the other great videos regardless of their content in 2023, and that shelter is great, nice to have something a bit different. You cooked a lovely meal which makes the videos more interesting more so than the readymade ones and that little table helped a lot, have a wonderful Christmas and new year with your family not forgetting the new addition 👋
Thanks Philip, Wishing you all the best for Christmas and the New year also:)
