- In this video, I leave Norfolk and head off on a trip south to meet up with Andy from @Kent Survival in his woodland permission. We set up our shelters, Adirondack tarp shelter for me and hammock for him, before doing the other camp tasks and settling down to an evening of catching up, a rib and cornbread dinner, a few beers and a few laughs. The morning brings fine weather and a chance to enjoy the beautiful woodland, followed by a breakfast of devilled kidneys and scones (my take on biscuits and gravy).
Please do pop over and check out Andys video!
It was great to catch up and make plans for future adventures - thanks mate!
I hope you enjoy the video.
Thanks for watching!

I don't know how many times I've watched this video, but I still think it's brilliant that Simon is wearing a Kent Survival t-shirt!!
As many times as I've watches this video I cannot believe Ive never noticed that!!!😂😂😂😃😃😃. Thanks for bringing it to my attention!!! 😎😎😎😎
It’s addictive isn’t it 😂 guess it’s better than a lot of addictions though 😅
I love you and Andy! And I watch most of your videos. I’m a 63 year old nana from Tennessee in the US and my grandson and I love to camp. We really enjoy watching you. Thanks for all the great camping and exploring!!❤TN Nana
I am in E TN. What did you think of the ribs?
@@ellenclayton5955not exactly the way We do them, but they’re not in Tennessee. I bet the cornbread isn’t anything like southern either. Nobody cooks as good as a southern woman!
Collab of 2 favourite Bushcrafters.😍
🙌☺️
I agree!!! :)
I agree as well
Absolutely!
Agreed, I enjoy watching both of these gentlemen.
You twos collabs are by far my favorite to watch . Not to mention the meal ideas you guys come up with .
You 2 both together, you're funny, even better after a beer or 3. Thank you. I was very upset about the news, Maggie had passed such a lovely part of your videos she will be missed
For all of us who are still having to isolate your videos are such a joy and spirit raiser.
Thanks both of you for such a fun virtual taste of the outdoor life. I look forward to such times again. Well done lads.
The NHS should prescribe a “Weekend away with Simon” for depression, anxiety and any other condition known to mankind! I’ll have to cook some kidneys now...:)
Hahaha, thank you Joe!! 👍
As should the VA in the US.
Nice one lads👍
Those kidneys look offal.
I don’t eat organs…otherwise great cooking! You’re having fun too…
Another quality vid Simon. What more does a man need, good company. nice fire, good food, a few beers and a catch up with a good mate...simple pleasure during these weird times...Priceless.
Simon, Greetings from Indiana! I love both of your shows and always look forward to the adventures!! But it is especially great when you two are together. You two make a great team of fun and adventure and the two of you always make me smile and laugh!!!!! I hope you guys are planning more trips together..... and we always miss Maggie. Cheers and thanks again for the entertainment.
Probably the best two u tubers in the U K.
Being in lock-down here in Victoria, Australia and unable to travel further than five kilometres from our home makes getting away for even an over nighter, is fraught with difficulties and heavy fines! We have to be in by eight PM. NO JOKE! So it was good to see you two in front of the fire tucking into some very fine cuisine and brew. Thank you boys.
Hope it’s lifted soon for you guys! 👍
Two of my favorite UA-camrs together. I watched Andy’s version first, then this one. Then watched it again to get the recipe for deviled kidneys. And just because I liked the video so much. Great fun! I’ve never had kidneys before- they aren’t a breakfast thing in the US but now I’m gonna try them. With scones. Yum.
Recipes are Fabulous . Thank you.
The Scabby Ass of a Horse, OMG!! 😂😂😂 Laughed so hard. Glad we didn't have to see that Simon, haha!!😅
You two are without doubt the best producers of Outdoor Videos on U-Tube. Great to have you back and good to know you've been making future plans. Thank you and stay safe lads. 👍😁
Thank you Malcolm!!
Wow , this could feed a crowd.
You too are the best. Cooking my favourite Lambs kidneys. Brilliant videos thank you so much👍
Great to see Simon and Andy doing a woodland wild camping video together what a excellent video well done guys.
Only just got around to watching the second half haha.. was great to see you again mate.. cant wait for the next adventure!
Me neither mate!! 😁👍
love seeing people I watch on youtube get together! Never thought I'd try kidneys, but I was drooling! Ribs, any day of the week :) Great episode. Andy, did you record anything while you were there? It'd be kinda cool to see your view of it!
Hurrah! Just what I needed. Had a right shite day. Watched this with a cold one and all was well with the world again. Great stuff lads👍
A glimpse of Simon without his hat! Yay! Being American, I'm all about the ribs and cornbread. Yum!
“There’s a Fox over there...” 😂
I really love your solo work, first class but Simon and Andy videos are on another level. Very entertaining and professional. All the best!
I can't wait for you guys to get back together, I love the meals you guys come up with.
Your videos are just what we need during this world predicament, good times all around cheers.
Looking forward to seeing what you two have planned for us.
Big thanks again for taking the time and sharing with us.
Your hot apple cider from Canada is one of our favorites. Enjoy!
I like the primitiveness of the camp and then the modern day technology of the Jet engine overhead .
Nice rib dinner.....my favorite..... I enjoy my Dutch oven North Country whiskey Ribs.....8-10 bone in country style ribs, 3 cups barbeque sauce, 3 cups brown sugar, 2 cups Jack Daniels, salt and pepper to taste. Portions work well in a number 12 Lodge. Save the left over mixture for left overs the day or freeze to use again for another batch at a later date. Oops, off the the meat market. My taste buds are calling.
With this Pandemic situation, I was loved to be camping with you guys. Enjoy it !
Absolutely Grand Simon, so good to have tagged along again. Your gear is amazing and always loving your style. You and Andy fit very well together in every film I've seen you both in. I've followed Andy for years now as well. Man that was some fine cooking! As always, Blessings to YA Both from Oregon. ... Mike.
I still can't get over your rover. Love that thing. 👌
Discovered your channel this week and I must say that the video's are such a joy to watch! Every hour of every evening this week has been so well spend. I love how you take care of your dog as well, with so much love 🥰 (i am always hiking with my dog). So thank you very much for giving such great content. Kind regards from the Netherlands.
I watch several outdoor channels and Simon may be my favorite with Andy running a close second at Kent Survival.
Simon is great, he does things a little bit different from the mainstream bushcraft, like the RAF video, both good channels and Maggie the dog is awesome.
Thank you Sandra!
I would start supper at noon next time.
I just love it when you two camp together, fun had by all. You two are Great Mates!
That looked like a really great little break to recharge your batteries. ENJOYED THAT ! THANKS GUYS 👍
I love it when you find a new channel and they have loads of videos to just binge on. Love in the Landy. I remember having to put a new chassis on one of these things in my old panel beating days. My dream car. I’d have an old Landy over a Lamborghini any day of the week.
Simon your videos give me a sense of peace in a difficult time thank you
Eating like kings! I bet some serious holes were dug the next morning 😂 nice video as always Simon 💪
Oh yes!!! 😂😂
Great video guys! Good food, good friends, good time.
Tecnologhy roaring in the sky’s above . While down below two friends get back to basics with beers and ribs . Good show men the eating scene in the dark perfect and even a bit funny 🤓good laughs .
I love it when you and Andy camp together. Next time you should bring Tom along
Thank you these video that you and Andy make are a life savers for me and I mean that. I love the outdoors and myself and my wife often camp out but we are bikers so we always pack very light. Thank you again.
You can really see the friendship between these two!
I watch the full 42.5 minutes of this video taking in all the lovely food you both did, enjoying the Bushcraft work around camp and I actually realised why you both get on so well. You actually washed up all the pots after Andy grafted and cooked the tea (dinner) 😱. That’s it now, anyone who I cook for on my camps now as to wash up!! 😂.
Seriously though, great to see you meet up with one another again after such a long break.
Cheers Simon, Ant 👍
Glad you liked my beers guys! Great videos from you both again! 👍 The double IPA was heavily hopped with columbus, plus centennial and chinook, which gives it a dank, almost licqourish taste- I wonder if that was what Andy was pondering when he sipped it? To me a Double Ipa is just a beefed up IPA- more hops to balance the higher alcohol content. Malt takes more of a back seat but i did use Golden promise malt to add a bit of body whilst mashing at a low temp to keep it dry also. The other beer was a nutty, strong, maltier bitter using East Kent Goldings hops and marris otter, caramel and a bit of Munich malt.
Mate, they were truly delicious! You are a brewing wizard!! That double IPA is possibly the nicest beer I’ve ever drunk! Thanks Ollie!
Your a breath of fresh air... keep it coming
Andy/Simon I totally enjoyed this video! I liked the baking as well being a professional Chef and Baker by trade! Be well boys!
Just had the all clear health wise from consultant oncologist... Guess where I'm going to celebrate? Yep, I will dig out my old rucksack and boots; head into the wild, and blame you when I come home stinking of wood-smoke! Thanks Simon, your vids have helped me through some dark times these last twelve months..
Good food. Good friends. And good fun. As always.
I have enjoyed every video that I’ve watched on your channel. I have many common interests and love watching your videos especially at this times when I can’t be out in the woods. Thank you for sharing.
IT'S LIKE WATCHING A COOKERY PROGRAM LADS.ONLY THING MISSING IS WEARING A DINNER JACKET
Simon -N-Andy , 2 blokes in da woodz
Both of your videos were great. Thanks for the entertainment.
Simon, if you look at when you're putting your sleeping mat into your bivvy bag (5.07ish), you can see that you've left a bung out. That's why the mat deflated!
That bung is for the secondary air chamber. It has two independent chambers, one used as a backup in case the first one gets punctured.
Another great video Simon. I think you guys just love trying different beers and that’s why you don’t get to eat the ribs until 11 o clock .
😂😂😂 very true!
You and Andy always leave me with my mouth water for the food you cook. Nice to see you both camping together again
Good to see 2 familiar faces out in the bush doing what they do so well is to enjoy some one else's company - have a beer of 2, build a neat fire & do some cooking? What more could a bloke need?? discuss world issues, have another beer & Andy well done with your food looked delish & ya did the dishes too - Cheers
Great to see you guys, especially together. Looked like a good time and a nice break from the world. Take care and give Mags a pat for me.
came over from kent survival, been watching your canoe vids
That was marvelous. Sharing good food, a good fire, friendship, is exactly what is needed in these challenging times.
Thanks for sharing.
Be well, be safe, and take good care.
I’m newly subbed to your channel. Hello from the US. Love the videos. It’s fascinating to see those delicious meals being made on a fire pit. Keep them coming Simon!
Somehow I keep missing videos! I thought I've binge watched your channel for 2+ years, so to see a video I haven't liked, makes my day! Thank you Simon! 💯 🔥🍻
The scones looked perfect. Ribs had my mouth watering. Woods are gorgeous. But nothing beats friends spending time together. Looking forward to your next joint adventure. V
What can I say, except this video put a smile on my face great video
You an Andy videos sure are good thank yous both 🙂✌🏼
Way to go with Kent an awesome camping!
Thanks for the inspiration. New boots & tent, off for a week exploring a long distance footpath!
Have a great time! Happy trails!
The best double act in bushcraft!
Wow those meals looked so nice. Nice video guys
my old dad came from norfolk place called thetford farrier he was joined the kings troop 1936 loved his kidneys fryed though
Great colab mate, looks like you guys had a great time!
Love that rab bivvy bag, like the built in bug net 👍🏼
Have a great week mate,
Ash 🏕
Hi Simon. I have watched both versions of the same camp now. Interesting to see the difference between yours and Andy. Both excellent well done.
That's a great woodem bowl that Andy has.
Great video Simon good to see you with Andy again, it was very enjoyable seeing you both having a laugh, and some great grub, beautiful woods as well thanks for sharing 👍
Awesome corn bread, and amazing Ribs yummy 😋
Awesome auto. My favorite Matchbox car as a child.
I reckon Andy trained as a cook. I watch all of his vlogs and now started to catch up with Simon. Great collaboration.
Thank you , Simon .
🐺 Loupis Canis .
Batman and Robin reunited, just what is needed in these crazy days, thanks for taking us along gents 👍
Good times, still!
Thanks for sharing 👍
Be Safe, guys..
love the landy. love everything you did to it. well done.
Outstanding. What better way to spend a weekend! Ramsey would be holding your coats with the cooking 😂 🇮🇪🇮🇪
Well shot and produced on both counts, enjoyed each video. Thanks
Cheers fellas! Great team and great camping out there!
I have by now watched several of your videos including the North Wales 4 peaks scramble m one on canoeing as well as numerous others too. May I say that they are made well and in a great spirit. Interesting and positive too. Thank You.
Perfect duo 💖
You boys eat better in the wild than I do at home, Enjoy.
I had to laugh Simon,,,we all have had the air matress fail...and we did the same thing...roll over and suffer the rest if the night...lol
As a newbie camper, I didn't realized how important was to pick a flat ground to set up camp. In the middle of the night, I was sliding away from my sleeping pad , good thing I had the 2 person tent and it was only me. I was still too lazy to find a flat ground the next day 🤭 I wanted to stay under a pine tree and face a cause garden
I'm hungry. Thanks guys.
Starting at about 21:29, Simon sitting there with that hat and the way the light hits it, looks like a big mouse, sitting there eating those ribs. Just adorable! Love it. I laugh every time I watch his video at that point.
Been looking forward to this 👍👍
All those pouches, packs and equipment rolls you had stuffed in your rucksack and you didn’t have a bottle opener. Bad show old chap. But still a great video and the food looked amazing. It’s always entertaining when you and Andy get together. 😀😀
Always enjoy the simplicity..
I just ate diner AND I am mouth watering for ribs over a fire - great vid Simon and Andy
I love this. I’ve watched so many videos of men in the woods that just go in the tents but they are alone because they are so intent on making their own videos. And I think why? You are men have a beer and eat meat around the campfire. So pleased to see this other than men getting together and staying in their own tents and cooking their own dinners.
Great job cooking, nice job with the ribs and cornbread.
Great video👍 love the cooking
Great to see you guys out together again - my two favourite people on UA-cam.
Enjoyed the video! I watched it a few times. Thanks camping buddy!
Great video and nice cooking! More of this please.
Brill as always. Thanks to both of you.
Great love wildcamping
You've inspired me to do some more .
Good equipment.
Morale boosting fire 🔥
And good food and coffee/tea .
Brilliant.
Great video! Nice little camp he has there! I love that you guys cook and eat real food. I enjoy seeing what you guys cook up over there across the pond. Thanks for sharing this with us. 😊👍👍
