    Beginning at 2:40, Andy described the little woodland as something from Middle Earth, and indeed, it has that look and feel, maybe even Dr. Suess's whimsicalness. A Simon and Andy collaboration wild camp in this magical woodland would have been divine.

    Dude, you and Simon have the life id rather live. Id trade you any day. I thought id retire driving coast to coast trucking. Unfortunately i got put down due to becoming disabled. Living the life of pain turned misery since i very much miss being on the road. Would love to camp again. But thanks for your videos like i said to Simon i live through the videos to keep me sane. Ive watched all of his and will have to backtrack to watch all of yours. God bless you

    36:50, what an idyllic and pleasant spot. Magnificent and stately trees. The sheep bleating in the background is quite soothing.
    Beginning 39:15, "Quite a slog today; my dogs are barkin'. "

      That was one of the things that hit me when I first started watching this channel: I was always scanning the background for danger. But no mountain lions, no coyotes, no wolfs, no rattlesnakes, and no bears. I suppose for some taking the danger out might be a negative, but not for me.

    I didn’t realize it until I watched this video and really to to heart what you said about beginning to feel claustrophobic being in the trees so much! I live with so many trees and I have been beginning to feel the same but just didn’t see it. I can’t leave here but I certainly can take down some trees to let in more sunshine ….that’s for sure!
    Thanks so much for your videos and all you offer not only in sharing information about things you have tried out and your great cooking but, also, of yourself which adds so much to your videos
    Thanks again! God bless you and your endeavors!

    Seeing the channel name brings back memories of ranging out from my house in Riverview Park on my trusty Raleigh Chopper, sometimes with a friend and we had little primus stove, water bottles, a simple bivvy sheet and some blankets and we would head out into the wilds of Kent. Cobham woods of course was a good campout unless the hermit gave us a hard time, Sheppey was more common esp as had an uncle and a father who worked for BR in and around there but we did adventure further like the old fort at Borstal and one heroic effort we made it to Reculver but we were so sore from the ride we bunked the train back next day with our bikes persuading the guard to make a stop at Milton Halt (handy having BR dad and uncle). Now in Dorset but do miss Kent a lot.
