The sprig is Rosemary, stunning chopped and sprinkled on Roast spud. Good to see you back Sandy. All the best
The traditional peel of English church bells in the country side....cant beat it. Goes great with a pint of ale usually.
Church Bells, Beer, Bacon = Civilisation.
@@adelarsen9776 beer & bacon?
There are not many things being as satisfactory as coming to a cold place, lighting a fire, feeling it gradualy heating up and fill the air with a fragrance of cooking something nice and tasty.
Listening to the sound of wind or splattering of rain while doing all of the above is even better. Therefore looking forward to the next video, and wish you a pleasant trip :)
Stay save, warm and well fed 🏕️🔥🥩
If that was me there would have been a couple of glasses of robust red wine with that meal... looked delicious.
I loved the church bells in the background and the simple things that bring joy...x
Once again Sandy, always a pleasure, good to see Elsa too. Thank you. Good wishes..........Les
Elsa always enjoys a nice camp Les:)
;)
After watching your video,I bought a stove like yours. I like the stack on that one.
all through february here in central washington state, it was atrocious weather. January was great, but my honey bees almost didn't make it. Their cleansing flights were still in the snow. I really love your southern fiddle violin music. I am from the south.
Glad your bee's survived. Many years ago my brother and I kept them. We had 40 colonies in a mixture of Modified Dadant and British commercial hives.
@@WiltshireMan my bees had run out of honey, while still bad weather, and not having pollen patties, I put two frames of honey in to tide them over. Worked well, so when pollen and nectar flowed they had produced so many bees, I had to smoke them & add 3 supers over a week or two to keep them from swarming. My neighbor lady came out and yelled that I had a clump of bees on my back. They were swarming, and I had to put the queen back in for a while, because I went through the colony and never found one single queen cell. I would have split them had I found some queen cells. Maybe now. Don't want to bother them too much, might hurt their feelings.
Such a pleasure to see you and Elsa out again. Happy you had comfortable February temperatures. The partridge looked fantastic, as did the veg. I grew up being occasionally treated to quail, duck, pheasant and cottontail rabbits by a hunting father and grandfather. I’ve bought caged rabbit and quail meat since, but the flavor is nothing like those delicious memories of wildness. You made me very nostalgic. 😊
You and Paul Bisseker are among my top 5 UA-camrs. You introduced me to Trangia cooking and then Paul showed me how to prepare gourmet curries in it! I’m very grateful to you both for all the hours of pleasure you’ve given me. Thank you!
After this , I would buy a frontier stove. I really like the tent also. It’s always great to have fire starters on hand out in the woods. Very kind of person to allow you to camp out on his land and therefore getting to watch your enjoyable videos. Thanks. Tony
Thanks Tony. The landowner watches these videos and may even read your comment:)
Nice set up.
Thanks for sharing Sandy. Colin
From a long time sub I wish you all the best of luck , I wish there where more people like you in the world because it would be a much better place that's for sure,
I’m a bit of a sucker for church bells. I do enjoy them ringing out across the landscape. I always watch Paul, has banquet like a king in the woods. Nice stove. I’d enjoy that for summer use as I’m always cold 🥶 😂. Lovely to see you out in the woods Sandy. Thank you for the review ATB Andy
Hoping to get you and Bill out to this location later this year Andy.
Wiltshire Man that Sandy would be amazing. 😎
Nice video Sandy. Elsa was watching those partridges like an eagle.
Thanks for taking us along,nice afternoon trekk with a meal and a story.Waiting for the wet overnite adventure as I to get great peace in a rainstorm
I cried the day Sandy posted the video od her passing Elza was a lovey girl.
Oh yes she was a special little dog
As usual sandy weather in the air or on the ground great videos for us to watch excellent work
Classic Wiltshire Man at his very best, you never fail such a great storyteller looking forward to chapter 3 all the very best Sandy.
Thanks Sandy ;) The meal looked great. The table is definitely worth it's weight. Now i'm looking forward to your overnight in the rain. If it was last night it rained a lot up here.
Dave had the Frontier stove, he sold it last year, It was a good stove when we used it.
Really like the table Paul. I shall carry it often into the woods:)
Wiltshire Man I have had a lot of Subscribers since you put this video up Sandy ;) Thanks for the shout out, i really appreciate it 👍👍 I hope the table serves you well.
Thats good Paul. You deserve more subscribers. Don't thank me. you earned them as most folk will sub on the merit of your videos. I do enjoy your channel Paul:)
Sandy
@@WiltshireMan Thanks ;)
Thumbs up Sandy, I look forward to the next one...
Great video again. Very peaceful setting.
Thank you! I have a Frontier stove, but have not used it as long as you did. Nice to see it lasts long. I love your dishwasher.
Excellent video Chef Sandy. 👍😎
as the saying goes never leave home without your best friend ELSA .as soon as you stop cooking she wakes up I wonder why keep the videos coming sandy very enjoyable.
Looked delicious, and Elisa certainly agreed. My Frontier stove still works well and is certainly built to a price but works!! Table looks good to. Enjoy the rain. cheers
Thanks Oz, yes they are built to a budget. I reckon I will get several more years out of mine yet.
Great video Sandy. I do like a bit of partridge or pheasant, so I really enjoyed your dinner apart from the rosemary, which is not one of my favourite herbs! Looking forward to your overnighter. Cheers x
What a good dog that Elsa is. She keeps a careful eye on the pot. Thanks for the videos Sandy. Very relaxing and interesting.
Enjoyed the video Sandy, thanks very much
Yes could hear the church bells no problem. When you start cooking i always have to pause the video and make myself something to eat haha your food always looks amazing. Thanks for sharing . Take care Sandy.
The busy "dishwasher" at 21:38 is plainly hilarious - and it is off grid, too! Very nice video and very nice stove!
Nice way to start my day watching one of your videos. I often wonder if people realise how much work goes into making them, I subscribe to Paul’s channel it’s great.
Usually on these outdoor vids when they take their dogs...the poor dogs don't seem to get fed, it was so nice that you were sharing your food with her :)
Meal looked fantastic Sandy. Great camp. 😊 👍
I always enjoy your videos. Thanks for sharing your peaceful experiences.
Thank you Sandy, always a nice treat to watch a new video from you. your dinner looked great, and the stove works very well for you. The weather looks great. Our weather here in central BC is a little cold minus 18 to 24 C in the day time, and down to minus 28 to 30 C at night. looking forward to your next video.
Thats cold Greg. Weather here can be extremes sometimes warm, sometimes freezing but always with high humidity thanks to our island being surrounded by sea with prevailing Atlantic westerlies. Damp cold chills you to the core.
Rosemary. Relaxing vid Sandy. Very much enjoyed it.
Thank you. Your video provided an oasis of calm with music (church bells). Lovely.
looks like the little pup enjoyed that meal
Really nice to see you the both of you out again ! Elsa makes a very handy four-legged dishwasher :-)
Really informative, thanks for that, looking forward to your next upload !
Atb, keep safe,
Rob
You certainly inspire people Sandy, keep it up 👍
Great vid, thanks for the tour of the stove!
The larger fraction of value in that particular stove comes from an owner who values his equipment and takes the care to do some maintenance on it.
Well done.
Absolutely fantastic video! Thanks very much for posting. Really got the feeling of being there. Came to view the Frontier stove, stayed for the rest of the video.
Lovely video Sandy. Enjoyable as always.
What a wonderful camp that you have set up there in those beautiful woods. I would say that if you have been using that stove for 6 or 7 years and you are at least somewhat happy with it, then you made a very good purchase with that. And the bonus is that you expect it to last for years longer so that makes it a pretty wise choice as far as I am concerned. Thanks for sharing your relaxing outing with us my friend. Take care and enjoy the outdoors whenever you get a chance to.
That stove has given you many a hot coffee, so well worth the money....nice little video again.
Looks a great tent, and stove. The food looked delicious too :-) Thank you Dr.
Thanks Paul,
There is more room inside my tent than there is outside and when the stove really gets going, well, there's no knowing where I will end up:)
The Dr
I thoroughly enjoy watching your videos, long may they continue 👍
Thankyou for the thoughts on the Frontier Stove, I have been thinking of a Hot Tent setup, however some of the Stove prices seem a bit steep,where as the Frontier seems more reasonable and good value. Nice to see how these stoves perform and stand up after a few years of use like yours.
Wonderful to see you and Elsa out in the woods, even if it was just for a flying visit. Dinner looked great, I may have to go to Aldi for veg in future. Look forward to your next video about the overnighter. I like Mr Bisseker's channel, he is a top notch cook. I get more cooking tips from you woodsmen then I do from TV chefs these days.
Very nice. Im seriously interested in getting one, after watching this.Thanks Sandy
Stove looks cracking Sandy. Nice time out there and some helpful stuff. Thank you and take care 👍
Very relaxing to watch
Greetings Elsa from South Texas!
The Bison Lavvu and Frontier stove are a wonderful combination Sandy. I have always fancied getting hold of a Frontier myself but no need now as the permission Woodland that I now use has a similar arrangement courtesy of the landowner should I wish to use it. Thumbs up to Paul's channel. 👍😊
Sandy, loved it. The church bells remind me of where I grew up as a kid. I miss camping, did loads in the Scouts. I like your fire starters.
Thanks Giles,
Weather looking flyable next week. The firestarters are handy, small and light. Good idea to carry a couple on your XC.
Sandy
Love Paul's channel, been following him for years (neighboring county).
His brother made the intro music (I like D&B, jungle a lot) but can imagine it's not quite the serene choice of most outdoor based channel's musical tastes for yt 😉 . Lovely chap and very responsive to comments/question section.
Thanks for making my U.K. Sunday in the U.S. that much more relaxing. Will be watching Midsomer Murders in a bit with Wife Woman. We both love that show. SS/SS-S
Wiltshire Man and Wiltshire Dog. :) Thanks, Sandy
I used to make fire lighters the same but added on some fine sawdust too, thru were really good
Lovely stuff as always Sandy :) Many thanks for bringing us along mate. atb.
thank you, watching this video made my day. liked and subscribed
I enjoyed your adventure
Top food Sandy! Only used my stove the once so far but good to know it should last a while :) ill have to get in the oiling habit too.. thanks for the tips
A lovely video sandy , you'll be starting a cooking channel next 🤔 wiltshiremans wok , good to see you in your element sandy and a big thumbs up to Paul's channel oh and not forgetting Peter the brewmiester 😁👍
It’s rosemary, it adds lovely flavour to the veg and tastes great when fried in the butter that you got. 👍🏻
Held up well the stove, I also sub Paul makes me laugh the banter he has with Peter.
ATB, James
Loved the intro music which reminds me of the hills of Virginia, USA. Great video as usual.
great relaxing video, and sometimes its not the cost but what you get out of the item ....as always be well and cheers
Rosemary old bean, I'd have chopped it and had it on the partridge. Having sat beside that stove a few times now, I can say I was impressed with it certainly when the price is factored in too. Storm Eric is coming in this evening/tomorrow, batten down the hatches. I like Paul's channel, makes me hungry watching though :)
Hatches have been battoned SI:) I'm glad there is no TV at Nuns cross:)
I'm sure I was feeling exactly how your gorgeous dog was feeling when you was cooking that food. 😋
You had me at dog and log burner in a tent. Nice apples brother 😂👌❤️
Enjoyed this video bro, for it's size it looks like it would be really practical in most camping situations. Closest thing to partridge I have eaten would be pheasant when I was little. Now days the wife gets chicken through her work. All the best
Nice bit of kit Sandy......VE3TVB Danial
Great meal Sandy - and I can certainly vouch for your stove.
Noel
Thanks Noel. I did enjoy my stay in the woods. I was warm:)
A nice relaxing watch 👍
Fantastic videos as always!
Hey sandy .
Great to see these videos coming out mate .. lovely little setup you have going on ,
Those frontier stoves are a great little stove for a tipi tent set up or even at the side of a tarp setup just to sit by and take the chill off you .
I use mine quite a lot and to be honest it could do with a little refurb and tlc doing to it .
Thanks for sharing the videos and hope to catch up sometime soon my friend
Atb Matt
Really good stove and it's great to see you getting out in the Winter too.
Hope you are well.
All well here thanks Rich. Had the trail cam out recently too. There seem to be a new better quality camera out now. They all seem to be 14/ 16 megapixels. I wonder if they are any better?
@@WiltshireMan They should be better but I haven't managed to get one to work - I had a 16MP and a 20MP sent from 2 different companies and while they looked great neither would work. They both set up no problem then wouldn't record on any card I tried.
Thats interesting. If there's a fault then they will have to rectify that for sure. They are a great tool but sadly the quality isn't that good. Old China or India still lingers in the dark corner of Trail cam manufacture..
@@WiltshireMan Yes considering how good phones are now the technology behind gamecam construction is a bit lacking sometimes.
What a great video! 👍
Love your dish washer 😋
She sure was a great Dishwasher. Sadly my little dog passed away just over 2 years ago, I now have two new dogs both rescue's
Enjoyed that Sandy , food looked spot on atb Dave..
Hi Wiltshire man, I watched your West Highland Way videos. Very nice! Your ginger dog looks almost like mine.
😍👍
Do you get many Squatters on your campground property?
3:26 Love the bells in the distance....and your visiting your own personal church..lol
14:17 *Imitation* is the sincerest form of *flattery* . To imitate someone is to pay the person a genuine compliment.... *One Imitates what another does, because they Admire them*
17:54 *What is that??* ... _I'm not sure what that is_ ... *ahhh a spriget of something??!!* _ahh put it in there anyway_ ...LOL 😂 🤣
20:42 Indeed ... A Hardy Meal... Well done !! 😎👍
No squatters there, they would not be tolerated for long as the land is private property and the woodland is well off the beaten track.
Good show
That table looks hand for /p operations Sandy. And you really should get a proper HF antenna in that wood 😂
Lovely mate. Just bloody lovely 🇬🇧⚓️
Vaseline Pure Petroleum Jelly will do the same trick as your candle wax. Thanks for the review, been looking at one of these.
Great video Sandy ATB
Looks good,I look at that stove a couple of times
The sprig of herb is rosemary. A real boost to roasts.
Beautiful as always. Thank you for sharing. ATB
Rosemary it was a most for lam! Nice to se you oute and aboute! BarbroSweden
Great video, lovely dog. Makes me miss England's temperate climate. To roast that veg, simply cover the foil container with foil and stick it actually in the stove. You need the indirect heat. Also I wrap jacket spuds in mine and put them in the firebox itself. Works well.
Great to see you out great vid best wishes, d chubb
Gréât vidéo. I do have trouble with my stove after two days burning in very cold weather, the pipe clogs with creosote. I did a mod to my stove but I did not fully test it burning for 4 days straight. I do like the stove overall. Thanks and take care.
Hi Quinn, Yes it will clog where the pipe goes coldest as you say due to creosote condensation. The hard woods I burn produce less creosote though so not much of a problem, but it's easy every couple of days just to break the stove pipes apart and rattle a stick down them:)
Lovely video mate, love the dignity of our countryside! Glad to see Elsa with you this time..
Was that shiny top to your chimney a motorcycle end can Sandy..hmmm? Cam
No Cam, the stove pipe had a proper spark arrestor. It gets sticky with tar as it is cool and the gasses condense.
Elsa enjoyed the camp.
Just rewatching this video Sandy for some cooking tips on the stove, I’ve just bought the Outbacker Firebox stove which is smaller than yours so just looking how you cook on this one, it’s two pan snug yours does 👍 which is handy. Cheers, Ant.
Hi Ant,
You'll love the stove, makes such a difference on a cold winter camp, also the heat it;s great for cooking, very even with no hot spots.
Sandy.
Wiltshire Man yeah can’t wait to give it a blast Friday night, I’m hoping your gonna get a couple in before spring mate? Would be good to see you using it again
Awesome video Mate! Those birds sure looked nice. Thanks for sharing, Atb Von
The Frontier stoves are OK for occasional use but the gauge of the metal is too thin for heavy usage, I like making gas bottle burners, the gauge is around 4 mill. Nice setup Sandy, enjoy mate.
Yeah I agree and wish I'd known that before I bought it.
Cool beans, good vid thx from Canada .
Thanks Steven
