Thanks for your appreciation Mark. Dog got back to normal the next day, she was mainly demoralised due to back legs not quite performing to spring and jump about. She's doing pretty well for her age though :-)
This reminded me of a camp out when my son was little. We tried to tough out the rain, but it got the better of us so we packed up soaking wet in the middle of the night and went home with a carload of wet gear that took us a week to dry out in the apartment. we had an inflatable boat, but it was a bit more rectangular. I hope your female companion felt better after you got her home. I really enjoy your filming style. I'll be watching for you here on UA-cam. I'm shut in but not because of my health, mostly due to caring for an elderly shut-in, so seeing others out there enjoying the outdoors keeps me mentally stable. ;-)
Thanks very much for watching & writing your outdoorsy story Helen. Hope you've had chances to get outdoors since that time. Akasha is fairing up well considering she had a real health scare beginning of this year (mentioned it in a few videos since) I've said many times before I do my outdoors activities even if UA-cam didn't exist so I endeavour to keep my channel as realistic as possible to what I actually do, including trekking wild camping on mountains, woods, riverways. Including my style of kit, skills etc with another 99 varied videos on my channel to date. Hope you get a chance to view some of those. Glad to know the vids give you some sort of mental balance & respite from restrictions indoors :-) All the best!
MINDWISEMAN I do get out when I can, but it's not possible now like it was when my husband was here. We had a Sportpall wide bottom canoe with a sidekick for a small 2 horse when time was of the esscense, like when we stayed out too late at the far end of a lake and tried to get back before dark.. That happened more often than it should of. We were slow learners. ;-). The Sportpall had a thick lightweight foam lining so our dogs were comfy accompanying us on our outings. When there was too much sun I had a shade umbrella for them to duck under.I long for those days again, but I'm confident that days like that will roll around again some day. I hope you are able to keep sharing your outings. I saw a few of them so far and plan to take in a few more. The first one of yours I saw was of the Folding Firebox. ;-) I got one shortly after that..
Helen Nelson Another nice little story of your outdoor travels especially being out on the waters. As you say hopefully you can do similar in the near future, even if it means a simple day trek with some cook kit & food spending the day in woods or traverse some hills. The Firebox may be a little weighty but certainly is fit for purpose with it's versatility & sturdiness, good to know you acquired one. See you in the next one. All the best!
Thanks for making and posting this video. I enjoyed it much. I don't get out to camp anymore but it is a joy to watch others enjoy the bushcraft in the outdoors. I learned a lot too. Cheers. I look forward to you next videos.
Thanks Paul, appreciate your viewing/feedback as always. You're gonna have to try some of that grub on one of your stoves the next time you're out for sure lol. ATB Cheers m8ee.
Hi I really enjoyed watching this video and like the part that you take good care of your dog,, and didn't want to keep her out too long. Cheers mate !, thank you for sharing ,,, Paulie
Great video again! Your videos are very informative and no detail is too small, which I love because most people leave that stuff out...all the little things add up to one thing so it's brilliant to watch :D Glad to hear Cosh is better.
I thoroughly enjoyed this video, your style of Bushcraft and your presentation are very accessible and enjoyable. I look forward to spending more time on your channel, thank you sir!
please make more of these vids of youre adventures they are great and i really like how you break everything down very informational as well keep up the great work and god bless
Thanks for the feedback & likeing! Yes the clip on goes over duck tape reinforced surface of the tarp, around edges not a prob as you can imagine. I do go into the process more indepth in the "clip on" review vid. Cheers.
Had to chuckle at your teapot Englishmen and their kettles. :) To me the smaller pot would be more multi-purpose than a kettle. I guess tea tastes better from kettle boiled water. Your breakfast also made me chuckle. I"d never heard of beans for breakfast until I met Brits. Since then I bring some camping as well. Do you ever forage for foods? When I camp I try to do that as much as I can. Pine needle tea, so stir fried cattail shoots or roasted cattail roots and sunchokes are pretty easy to find and I always have some fishing gear along. Cool dog, I used to have a good canine buddy who loved to camp with me. She loved to steal the firewood too. :) Happy trails.
Thanks for the big comment! Have included aspects of foraging in previous vids. Chewed on many a raw tails root plucked out the water, hawthorn leaf, roasted dandelion roots amongst other types. There are times when it's ok to be outdoors without being on a mission, just enjoy the outdoors even if it means taking just a packed lunch. Yes my dog's a good outdoors companion :-) All the best out there!
Thank you very much for your video. You have it well figured out. Thanks for the tips. Yeah down here in Georgia we get some extreme changes in climate for sure. Makes your island look like a paradise. I'm sorry about your dog. She was probably jealous of your time talking to us or she couldn't understand to whom you were speaking. What a pleasure to have a dog with you on some overnights. Thank you brother. And be good.
Thanks for the conversational comment Corey. Generally UK climates not too bad although since end of 2013 until recent we've had floods from torrential rains, with some rivers unsafe to return upstream. Back to the islands & waters with my "safari dog" soon. Out there & safe to you.
Thanks for the indepth feedback Mick. Glad you find my stuff of use & interest. Yes always got a just in case mind set for sure, good to have that and know you consider camp security. All the best "out there" Cheers!
Excllent video Pete, lots of great tips, njoyed seeing your cooking and meals ingredients and tarp tips! Karscher is a real star and deserves her own channel methinks, although you may have to help her with editing :-) Seriously enjoyed your trip and you talk sense throughout....brilliant....stay safe! :-)
Great to see you out again Pete. Hope your dog is going to be OK. Like how you improvised your grass matress. Lots of info crammed in as always. I have been out a couple of times this year and like you cooled down during the night. Had to don softy trousers and a good sleeping bag but got through the night toastie and warm. great stuff. take care Sandy
Your feedback's appreciated. Yes it all depends on the situation and practicallity as to what food to take. If you have access to a good supply of water then for light weight carry - dehydrated foods tend to be more practical as they're about 1/4 of the weight, take up less space. At least in the tins of food we get much more than in the hike shop packs. Even better when we can have fresh food cooked on a campfire :-) Cheers
Really enjoyed this Pete, as all your vids....some great info on camp craft, cooking, and recipes, must give them a try, nice to see you again Pete..Many thanks. Paul :-)
Thanks for the comment & nice feedback my friend. Yes I think Akasha just had a few off days, she'e of the age to be a little geriatric now & then lol but she's still quite spritely for her age bless her. Camp security attitude comes instinctively from experiences/involvements in the past. You're on the button Sara - always good to have preps/ideas in place just in case for sure. Glad you like the varied tarp configs', it's nice to be versatile lol :-)) Hope all's well with you!! :-)
Loved the vid - and the cunning toast rack over the gas burner, very ingenious! I see you've been to LIDL for their excellent orange juice and tinned food! Glad to learn Karsch bounced back to good health again the next day, she's a real star, we would all love a dog like her to watch over our wild camp!! Missed the usual music intro though... !
Hello Pete;glad I followed along on your trip. was very enjoyable watching the way you set up camp & prepare things to make them easier.Hope all is well with the pet. Happy Trails From The Maritimes In Canada
Heyup D thanks for popping by and your appreciation! Oh yes the ol' toaster is a great trail food addition if you don't mind carrying the bread :-) My reconned pc has been a bit non responsive on the internet recently hence been off YT. I've got to get a new laptop then I can do things on the computer which should only take 10-15 mins instead of an hour! Meanwhile we keep sane being outdoors lol. Cheers buddy!!
Thanks for the feedback. Always good to have stand by/back cook device especially if you're away from camp fire fuel precurement areas. "Out there and safe" Cheers!
Thanks Linda, and for the pm confirming able to view. Yes it's nice to see outdoors coffee on the brew but even better when there's food involved :-) Akasha was her normal self the next day, she has the mind and attitude of a youngen but forgets she needs longer to recupperate sometimes when she's been quite active. Cheers!
Great lil tips like the guy line that goes toward ground stays ontology of tarp. Those little tricks are essential. Subscribed and look forward to watching more vids :)
Good to know you ventured into the UK cool weather to wildcamp, nice one. River Wye is one of Britains wildernessy waterways, you'll love it especially if you're navigating through the forest lined valleys. I've seen the Dutch heavy duty ponchobasha, they maybe slightly more weighty than the average but as far as ponchos go they're pretty well bomb proof good bita kit for sure! Have a great "being out there" time m8. Thanks for the comment. Cheers
Good to see another video Pete - glad to hear Kosh is ok now. Camped out myself over the easter - first time ive wild camped in the uk - not so warm as Oz! Im off on my first canoe trip tomorrow down the River Wye. Purchased a great dutch army poncho that doubles as a basha - sure ill be needing it! Looking foward to your next video
Thanks for the feedback & likeing. Don't know of anywhere in particular Cheshire wise. Best thing - get an idea of where's easy to travel or the sort of place you fancy & google earth the areas to get a perspective, also Ordinance Survey maps - either purchase or flick through one in an outdoors or book shop.
Good to see you and Akasha out and about again. What a pain the air matress going down. Mine did that too. Want one of those thermarest ,but like you said they are alittle expensive. Maybe find one on sale soon. Love the idea of the twigs across the path to your basha ! Helps to feel secure at night, but ya got Akasha too ! Great video and cheers Pete .
Your comment's gratefully received. Dog's back to her normal self which is a relief. Hey if you get out for the night have a great one, adventure time for grandson whatever the age & of course yourself! Just take your time filming, I'm sure it'll come out fine. All the best "being out there" :-) Cheers.
Really enjoyed watching, noticed a few handy tips wihich is always helpful. Live near the Forest of Dean and looking forward to trying out some of my new kit. Keep up the good work and enjoy watching you
Thanks for the input - yes for sure the bags need to be food grade/heat use. Have used a variety of food grade bags & heating containers. Will eventually get industrial/commercial strong non toxic cook in bags, nice & sturdy.
Wonderful adventure Peter. I hope your little pooch is OK now. Hopefully she was just feeling a little blue. As always I love your camping configurations and and this time I also liked your talk on camp security. Sounds like you where in a safe area and the night time boaters probably had enough to worry about, but still it's always good to have some simple preps for the just in case stuff. Thanks for the wonderful evening my friend.. : o)
Great videos mate! I have a sevylor colardo too and I do little coastal and fishing expeditions camping on little beaches impossible to reach from the shore it's great fun and such a beautiful way to explore the coast. Looking forward to watching the rest of your vids.
Not hammocked in a long time, prefer ease of movement/action vantage point from ground level, mind you got much better sleep floor system now. Warm or cold -"all weathers all terrains" for sure. Have a good un. ATB!
Hey Pete, Great to see another video ! Really have enjoyed all your vid's. Thats a great idea to have all your para cord already made to length so you don't have to waste time making them up everytime you set up ? Always learn something new from your video's. Thanks again ! Cheers !!! Akasha looks well too !
Thanks John, grateful for your appreciative feedback! I've got a few varied mats. I must admit if you don't mind the tubular affect of the lilo style mat (featured) it can spoil you comfort wise because its so bouncy comfortable and you don't feel any solidness of the ground below. I would consider the NEO but at £100 a go!? Gonna source a UK army surp' self inflater soon but I'm after the full length 180cm not the 120cm which is easier to acquire. Cheers m8
nice to see you out again Pete. i have just got my Colorado canoe yet to take it on its maiden voyage. ngreat to see you have a similar idea to food that i do, i work in a supermarket and a long time ago realised that the MREs in the outdoor shop were way over priced. always a pleasure to see you out and does inspire me to take my hound out lol. be well and have a good week
Sounds good m8, on the waters and in the woods outdoorsing it big time :-) Thanks for letting me know of your time invested in watching my stuff, much appreciated. Don't let your missus know I've influenced your activities or she may pay me a non approving visit lol!. "Be out there & safe" m8ee. Cheers.
Grateful for your feedback comment J! The next day dogs back legs were back to normal. Yes for sure if you look after the ol' Coleman it certainly carrys the test of time. It may be a little bulk/weighty to some people but at least it's self contained with its fuel, and as you say well economical to run and efficient at heat/cooking. Slow time...fast time? it's all good just being in the moment :-) Cheers.
Thanks m8. I always keep the skeg in the seat back rest pouch and used it in the past. I've found it to help, not as good as I thought it would when I 1st got the canoe. I reckon it'd track near as good as a hard shell if skeg was bigger. Cheers.
Another great video pete mate, loved the Roswell fire reflector lol. so many points to big up mate - good tip for the grass under groundsheet trick (simple yet very effective) - i was looking at softie top & bottoms (another thing too add to the long list). i do exactly the same thing with dry twigs/branches for security. keep an eye on stealth dog - since taking mine to the woods (she eats all sorts on the ground) she was a bit off for a few days, maybe some fungal thing. all the best my mate
Thanks for the feedback. Have done all the transfer food into heat up bags etc. Found it mainly beneficial if you are light backpacking & eat the food within 48hrs or else can perish in warm weather. Of course you need access to water or carry it with you to heat in the bags. Beauty of the canoe is food can be kept indefinately and heated without the water. Am trying to source vacuum bags to cook food in from raw then store to take outdoors, like shop bought long life packs. Be safe m8 :-)
Thanks for your appreciation Mark. Dog got back to normal the next day, she was mainly demoralised due to back legs not quite performing to spring and jump about. She's doing pretty well for her age though :-)

It was pure enjoyment watching your videos, thank you for the thoughtful work you put into creating them.
Grateful for the positive feedback, thanks. Glad the vids encourage you to try stuff "being out there". All the best outdoors!
Thanks Paul, appreciate your viewing/feedback as always. You're gonna have to try some of that grub on one of your stoves the next time you're out for sure lol.

Thanks for the comment Paulie. Been back out in the woods with my dog recently, included in March '14 uploads. Cheers
So glad i found your channel Pete, you've definately inspired me to break out the camping gear again.
Thanks for your comment. Yes woods, rivers, mounts & hills.....all terrains all weathers = good times outdoors. Cheers.
Thanks for commenting, yes my dog's a good security radar and she's in much better health now.
Great video again! Your videos are very informative and no detail is too small, which I love because most people leave that stuff out...all the little things add up to one thing so it's brilliant to watch :D Glad to hear Cosh is better.

Chewed on many a raw tails root plucked out the water, hawthorn leaf, roasted dandelion roots amongst other types. There are times when it's ok to be outdoors without being on a mission, just enjoy the outdoors even if it means taking just a packed lunch. Yes my dog's a good outdoors companion :-)
All the best out there!
Thank you very much for your video. You have it well figured out. Thanks for the tips. Yeah down here in Georgia we get some extreme changes in climate for sure.

Thanks for the positive comment. Cheers!
You are more than welcome and thanks for watching!
Great to see you out again Pete.
Hope your dog is going to be OK.
Like how you improvised your grass matress.
Lots of info crammed in as always. I have been out a couple of times this year and like you cooled down during the night.
Had to don softy trousers and a good sleeping bag but got through the night toastie and warm.
great stuff.
take care
Sandy
Glad to hear from you again Pete. Thanks for all your great vids. You should consider a self inflating sleeping mat their very good. Cheers. John.
The right kit, food etc etc in the great outdoors...good times for sure. Thanks for the comment.
i like your videos your keeping it simple and more about being outside then the newest gear.

Thanks for comment, glad you find my stuff of interest. ATB!
Thanks for posting, really enjoyed this video bud. Good to see a Bushcraft video that mentions safety etc.
Thanks for the appreciation! More stuff up soon. ATB
Thanks for the thumbs up. The dog also appreciates the comment :-)

Thanks for the comment & nice feedback my friend. Yes I think Akasha just had a few off days, she'e of the age to be a little geriatric now & then lol but she's still quite spritely for her age bless her. Camp security attitude comes instinctively from experiences/involvements in the past. You're on the button Sara - always good to have preps/ideas in place just in case for sure. Glad you like the varied tarp configs', it's nice to be versatile lol :-)) Hope all's well with you!! :-)
Thanks for your interest, new vid up by this weekend :-)
Thanks a lot for your detailed feedback and appreciation, am grateful! Yep the dog is near nuff back to normal. ATB Cheers!!

+Ruth Scott Thanks for your comment. Hope you've been able to get out over recent months. ATB
Loved the vid - and the cunning toast rack over the gas burner, very ingenious! I see you've been to LIDL for their excellent orange juice and tinned food! Glad to learn Karsch bounced back to good health again the next day, she's a real star, we would all love a dog like her to watch over our wild camp!! Missed the usual music intro though... !
Liked the vid. Thanks for taking the time to share.
I'm sure I'll be looking into more of your vids now that I've found them.

Good to know you ventured into the UK cool weather to wildcamp, nice one. River Wye is one of Britains wildernessy waterways, you'll love it especially if you're navigating through the forest lined valleys. I've seen the Dutch heavy duty ponchobasha, they maybe slightly more weighty than the average but as far as ponchos go they're pretty well bomb proof good bita kit for sure!

I was beginning to think the Brecons broke you! Great video.
Thanks very much for the positive comments regarding my channel. Grateful for your interest!
Good to see another video Pete - glad to hear Kosh is ok now. Camped out myself over the easter - first time ive wild camped in the uk - not so warm as Oz! Im off on my first canoe trip tomorrow down the River Wye. Purchased a great dutch army poncho that doubles as a basha - sure ill be needing it! Looking foward to your next video
Caught this Bank holiday 2013. Really enjoyed it. lots of tips. Thank you
Really enjoyable watch! and entertaining,as well as informative.Glad to know your four legged friend is in good health too.
Just watching all your vids now,my wife loves the dog,I love the camping,lol
Thanks for the feedback & likeing. Don't know of anywhere in particular Cheshire wise. Best thing - get an idea of where's easy to travel or the sort of place you fancy & google earth the areas to get a perspective, also Ordinance Survey maps - either purchase or flick through one in an outdoors or book shop.
Good to see you and Akasha out and about again. What a pain the air matress going down. Mine did that too. Want one of those thermarest ,but like you said they are alittle expensive. Maybe find one on sale soon. Love the idea of the twigs across the path to your basha ! Helps to feel secure at night, but ya got Akasha too ! Great video and cheers Pete .
Your comment's gratefully received. Dog's back to her normal self which is a relief. Hey if you get out for the night have a great one, adventure time for grandson whatever the age & of course yourself! Just take your time filming, I'm sure it'll come out fine. All the best "being out there" :-) Cheers.
Really enjoyed watching, noticed a few handy tips wihich is always helpful. Live near the Forest of Dean and looking forward to trying out some of my new kit. Keep up the good work and enjoy watching you
Wow, Rambo never lived like this !! Come to think of it, i don't eat like that at home !! Great Vid !!
Thanks for the input - yes for sure the bags need to be food grade/heat use. Have used a variety of food grade bags & heating containers. Will eventually get industrial/commercial strong non toxic cook in bags, nice & sturdy.
Wonderful adventure Peter. I hope your little pooch is OK now. Hopefully she was just feeling a little blue.

Sounds like you where in a safe area and the night time boaters probably had enough to worry about, but still it's always good to have some simple preps for the just in case stuff.

Cool vid! I love contemplating nature, discover and meditate...
Good to know of your positive response, thanks!
Great videos mate! I have a sevylor colardo too and I do little coastal and fishing expeditions camping on little beaches impossible to reach from the shore it's great fun and such a beautiful way to explore the coast. Looking forward to watching the rest of your vids.
Looks like it's time to replace that matrass with a hammock! Great stuff. Get's me aching for another trip, dispite the cold weather.
Not hammocked in a long time, prefer ease of movement/action vantage point from ground level, mind you got much better sleep floor system now. Warm or cold -"all weathers all terrains" for sure. Have a good un. ATB!
Thanks for the positive feedback, enjoying the travelling camping canoe dog :-)
Cheers.
Thanks for the feedback and positive response to my channel, really appreciate your interest!
Thanks for the comment, glad you liked it. Camping canoe dog's great company and loves the little adventures. Yep was on Nat' Geo Preppers. Cheers
Good to know you were able to trek out for a few days and do outdoor cooking, nice one.
hi pete, enjoyed lastest vid, glad to hear dog feeling better, looking forward to next report.
Hey Pete, Great to see another video ! Really have enjoyed all your vid's. Thats a great idea to have all your para cord already made to length so you don't have to waste time making them up everytime you set up ? Always learn something new from your video's. Thanks again ! Cheers !!! Akasha looks well too !
Thanks John, grateful for your appreciative feedback! I've got a few varied mats. I must admit if you don't mind the tubular affect of the lilo style mat (featured) it can spoil you comfort wise because its so bouncy comfortable and you don't feel any solidness of the ground below. I would consider the NEO but at £100 a go!? Gonna source a UK army surp' self inflater soon but I'm after the full length 180cm not the 120cm which is easier to acquire. Cheers m8
Thanks for the feedback & interest. Akasha is ok, I think just the odd off day now & then considering her age. All the best.
Thanks for the appreciative comment! Cheers!!!
nice to see you out again Pete. i have just got my Colorado canoe yet to take it on its maiden voyage. ngreat to see you have a similar idea to food that i do, i work in a supermarket and a long time ago realised that the MREs in the outdoor shop were way over priced. always a pleasure to see you out and does inspire me to take my hound out lol. be well and have a good week
Sounds good m8, on the waters and in the woods outdoorsing it big time :-) Thanks for letting me know of your time invested in watching my stuff, much appreciated. Don't let your missus know I've influenced your activities or she may pay me a non approving visit lol!. "Be out there & safe" m8ee. Cheers.
Grateful for your feedback comment J! The next day dogs back legs were back to normal. Yes for sure if you look after the ol' Coleman it certainly carrys the test of time. It may be a little bulk/weighty to some people but at least it's self contained with its fuel, and as you say well economical to run and efficient at heat/cooking. Slow time...fast time? it's all good just being in the moment :-) Cheers.
Thanks m8. I always keep the skeg in the seat back rest pouch and used it in the past. I've found it to help, not as good as I thought it would when I 1st got the canoe. I reckon it'd track near as good as a hard shell if skeg was bigger. Cheers.
Another great video pete mate, loved the Roswell fire reflector lol.
so many points to big up mate - good tip for the grass under groundsheet trick (simple yet very effective) - i was looking at softie top & bottoms (another thing too add to the long list).
i do exactly the same thing with dry twigs/branches for security.
keep an eye on stealth dog - since taking mine to the woods (she eats all sorts on the ground) she was a bit off for a few days, maybe some fungal thing.
all the best my mate
Thanks for the feedback. Have done all the transfer food into heat up bags etc. Found it mainly beneficial if you are light backpacking & eat the food within 48hrs or else can perish in warm weather. Of course you need access to water or carry it with you to heat in the bags. Beauty of the canoe is food can be kept indefinately and heated without the water. Am trying to source vacuum bags to cook food in from raw then store to take outdoors, like shop bought long life packs. Be safe m8 :-)
Looks like a nice trip, and I found that you are the first person on youtube bushcraft, camping vids who actually use the can opener.
