Simon, you are the guy everyone tries to be like. You are a true gentleman, There's nothing you can't do, build, make or cook & I love watching your video's so much. Don't ever give up what you do. All the best
There is nothing better than camping with a dog;. Old dogs are one of the most precious things on earth and deserve to be cherished and loved. I lost my 90 pound lap dog in August to cancer. It was a huge shock because we didn't know he had it until it metastasized. He had just turned ten in July and he also was having trouble with arthritis and mobility. God bless Maggie.
I really do admire you for honouring yourself and do these nights away solo. Sitting back and getting to be ‘one’ with your surroundings is the BEST MEDICINE! Nature’s reset button.
That tent looks so cozy…I’m watching this long after it was posted and sadly also know that this was one of the last with Maggie…precious memories I’m sure…you were both lucky to have shared time in your lives with each other… and that you have these videos to remember and treasure those special times. Be well & safe.
Very much enjoyed this. I did a lot of camping, hiking and backpacking when I was younger. I can smell your cooking, and the scents of the damp woods. Best wishes to you and Maggie! - Cody, Wyoming
It seams to me that when any dog or any person who spends time outdoors all day & into the evening , that night for some Strange reason we all sleep better at night , on that night . I guess it’s all the oxygen from the outdoors & the Vitamin D we get from the sun & all of the work or fun we have doing stuff we love outdoors . If you think about it , it’s pretty cool .
Raising a glass to Maggie now. I know how painful it is to lose your best buddy like that! I lost mine about 5 months ago and life isn't the same. I'll say an extra prayer tonight for her and you. Also, thanks for the chicken and chips recipe. I made that for dinner tonight and my wife loved it. It was outstanding at home in a dutch oven in the range indoors, so I can only imagine how great it would be over a fire, camping. Again, my heart goes out to you for your loss of Maggie. I've made your fries many times now and decided after some debate to call it "English Fries" in honor of our mother country. I was thinking of Simon Fries, but it just didn't seem right. My wife loves this recipe!
We got a new pup about 2 months ago. My boyfriend suggested Maggie, and I immediately though of you and yours. As I loved her from the moment I met her, I said yes, That is a Maggie.
Well done for not making us not have to watch wood prepping. Everyone always fast forwards that as EVERY channel thinks chopping and sawing is fun to watch. 👍 we love Maggy she is amazing xxx
Hi , im a regular night carp fishing man and love to bivvy up and chill just like you do in your videos . I love watching them and it gives me the itch to get out for the weekend . I just love all your equipment like the cooking bits and the simplicity of it all . keep the videos going Simon and they are just a joy to watch and you are a top bloke .
This is my first time watching one of your vids and you didn’t disappoint. Thank you so much for fixing the grandmom pancakes instead of the just add 💦 crap. I was goood until you did the pancakes, 🥓 and sausage, a couple of scrambled 🥚and 🧀 would’ve set it off. The chicken wrapped in bacon 🥓 with the home 🍟 was on point. I love cooking outside over open 🔥. I be trying to school people, y’all better get some knowledge because the way our for fathers survived, we will have to know how and what to do. That canvas tent was it. And you made that I think you said? Getting ready to check out some of your other stuff. Holla @ cha
My big Great Dane is now 11 1/2 and he’s finally slowed down quit a bit. Been taking him camping and cherish these last stages of his life. Your a good man
Thanks for another great video. Your love for Maggie is an inspiration for all of those who love animals. My best friends are dogs, their love and loyalty is far beyond any that I've ever found with people. I believe that it was the American writer Samuel Clemmons aka Mark Twain who said that, " if you feed a dog and treat it with kindness, it will be your friend and will not bite you, sadly the same can't always be said of people ". Stay well & safe mate .. Cheers.
Simon, you are a true hero to Maggie. You treat her well and you can tell that she enjoys being with you. Here is to many more adventures for the two of you together!
Much respect for you as a caring and loving dog owner. You are a great outdoor ambassador too. Magie is happy and enjoys your company as you do hers! Time is precious, so keep making those memorable moments a reality. Enjoy, and god bless you both, thanks for taking us along!
Nearly 150k subscribers! A real achievement and well deserved. Come on everyone, tell your friends to subscribe and get Simon to 150k and more! Thank you for sharing your your adventures with us all!
The filmography, and the ambience of the whole scene conveys warmth, comfort and a sense of well being.. Common sense and practicality, companionship with your calm dog gives the viewer an insight into how relative minimalism can be so rewarding. Never thought I'd quote, " living the dream" , however, you really are. Thanks for posting this. Made my evening.
One man and his dog …. So sweet …. I enjoy all of your journeys….. big admiration for, as I mentioned before , simplicity, practically…informative …. Great
Treat your dog well while you can. If that means a big treat that will make her happy, go for it. I've lost two dogs that I wish I would have given that little bit of extra sometimes. Don't get me wrong. They were spoiled beyond reason but you always second guess yourself after they are gone. I love the way you treat Maggie. Dan
So brilliant to see you out again Maggie, thank you for brining Simon too! I can see why you do, he does look after you very well. 🤭. Everything about this camp looked just about perfect. Thank you for producing it and sharing it with us. All the best to you both. Paul.
I love heavy camping for a couple of nights, a week or more, especially with dogs, great food, sturdy/dry/comfortable/safe gear and things for which the Bureau of Alcohol Tobacco and Firearms might be interested. I love your survival/hiking/camping/recreation skills, courtesies and ethics, but frankly, it's the cooking dude. I love that percolator, and also total silence but the machinery, trains, private aircraft noise actually comforts me.
A superb combination. Camping in woods, Maggie (such a sweetie), good food and your good self. Felt very relaxed watching this. Thank you for sharing a special time with Maggie, with us 🥰👍
Poor Maggie, I know the feeling. Aching everywhere, tired etc. Comes to us all unfortunately. But she's beautiful. She sure has had a wonderful life you've given her. You should be proud of yourself. Take care, great vid as usual!!😊😋❤
God bless Maggie ♥️ we had a Old English sheepdog when I was a kid about 10 years old that was 50 years ago... Best dog you could ever have.... God bless you all take care! ✌️♥️😊
Your Love and Respect for Maggie is wonderful; and yes, she should get treats. Can tell she loves being out with you; even if she sleeps a lot. Take care.
This channel is like a form of meditation for me. After work while I cook dinner, I have a few beers and light a few candles for my own mock campfire. It really helps me unwind.
I Remember Both MY Best Four Legged Friends! From picking them up the first time with one hand! To playing with them till both of us tired! To waiting till they calmed down! Then as They aged! Wanting that Energy Again! Always had our Sunday Morning Breakfast Together! Another Great Video! Keep them coming Simon! Give Maggie a Scratch/ Run behind the Ears For us viewers!
Simon, it is pretty neat to see you using "Sweet Baby Ray's" across the pond! One of the better store brands to use while camping for sure! Glad that you are able to spend some quality time with Maggie in her waning years.
Really shows the character of a person who treats their pets with so much respect. Genuine human being
Word!
Simon, you are the guy everyone tries to be like. You are a true gentleman, There's nothing you can't do, build, make or cook & I love watching your video's so much. Don't ever give up what you do. All the best
Couldn't of said it better myself !!.A true gent and a joy to follow,watch and be inspired from.
Thank you Dean!
What he said..100%
@@nicolab2075 : Whatever do you mean?
So organised i got some good tips from you when i kayak camp, keep up the good work!
I love how you spoil Maggie! She’s a good girl and thoroughly deserves it!
Bless ol Maggie ❤
Your loyalty and devotion to that old girl is admirable,sir.
You are my favorite...thanks for the music too...

I absolutely love how you treat your dog. Maggie is in good hands. That says a lot about you. Safe travels my friend.
Can Always Tell How Real a Person is By the way They Treat their Animals!
@@mikeks8181 you are right about that. If a person isn't good to their animals it makes me very leary of them.
I just ❤ love going back and rewatching these older videos w Maggie ❤❤❤ RIP

Baker tent is back, and opening with the sound of a diesel… can’t get better than that (although of course it does, because Maggie)!
Andrew answered my question...it indeed is a diesel motor...Thanks
That is a heart breaker. I love that tent. Someday I'll have one. Loading ramp for Maggie, you are a class act Simon.
He sure is🎈❤️
One of the best channels on You Tube. Truly a gift that keeps giving! Awesome! 👌👋🙏😀 Simon
Very nice ❤
Good old Maggie, great to see her out and about again! She's a star!
Just paused the video to say that Sweet Baby Rays is the best bbq sauce!
Love the Sweet n Spicy and Hickory!
Ok...back to the vid! 🙂
Thank you for taking good care of Maggie. It's great to see her and the way you made the trip comfortable for her.

It’s your honest and kind nature that really makes it a pleasure to watch.
I really like this tent. So different and very roomy.
Nothing better than waking up to tge birds and woodpeckers!
Cheers Simon. I love the ramp that you made for Maggie. She is a well-pampered dog who deserves it.
Big bloke with big heart. Love how near you are to your best buddy. Big respect and regards from Egypt.
Wow I didn't think an emo fringe could look good on anyone but Maggie has definitely proved me wrong, what a lovely girl
That is a cracking tent
I think that dogs are so loyal to us and would give there lives for us in a second...... and they love food ...so do we
Beautiful video with love of Nature, tenting and fabulous Maggie.
Dogs shouldn't have an expiry, breaks my heart. I'm sniffling and simultaneously dribbling because of the hunters chicken. Thanks Simon :)
From 8 - 10PM I am hooked up to Simon most evenings. Good one mate.
I miss going camping these days but I'm very disabled now days but watching your videos gives me so much pleasure. Thanks so much for doing this.
You have provided a great many adventures for Maggie. Perfect life for a valued K9 family member.

Sweet Baby Rays. I knew you Brits had a little know how. The Brown Sugar is best

Never seen chips fried. I mean , in a pan . Shallow fried . I agree, give Mags a treat ♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡!!♡
Marvellous. You are one of the only genuine, lovely guys left . And I'm not just saying that. Remind me of my late father!!😊😊
Cheers Simon for amazing video enjoyed watching you and Maggie camping thanks Simon 😊 😀 👍
Maggie is lovely. You just have to appreciate every day of borrowed time once they get to that stage.
Went back to this episode to remember Maggie. such an Iconic episode in many ways
Now that's the tent for me. Old and sturdy...like me! 🤣
😂😂
Thank you for taking us along, always a fine job. Maggie helps to make extra special.

Any video with Maggie is a great video…I mean, greater than usual.
Good to see Maggie with you. She belongs with you, and you both seem happy.
Maggie old girl you are loved xxxxxx
Great video Simon, thank you. Fabulous to see Mags again. Look forward to the next one... love from Cape Town
Love that coffee pot!! Is that local?
@@catherinem2692 I believe it is vintage and Simon bought it on line, from somewhere in Europe. He mentions it in the video which is worth a watch.
Sweet Mags always reminds me of the doggo that takes care of the Darling children in Peter Pan ❤
Soothing sojourn to the woods and Maggie. Thanks for taking us there. She is certainly a grand old girl!
It's always a good day when you see Maggie covered in leaves and the ole girls big appetite. It's bliss watching Simons' adventures in the woods.
YES!!! Trucking with Simon! Camping overnight with Simon AND Maggie. Thanks for taking us out again - very relaxing. ATB
My big Great Dane is now 11 1/2 and he’s finally slowed down quit a bit. Been taking him camping and cherish these last stages of his life. Your a good man

Love of dog is commendable. Nothing like the companion of a dog.
Simon, you are a true hero to Maggie. You treat her well and you can tell that she enjoys being with you.
Here is to many more adventures for the two of you together!
I absolutely adore Maggie, I grew up with Newfies
That Baker tent has to be one of the best tents I’ve seen. So cool
Much respect for you as a caring and loving dog owner. You are a great outdoor ambassador too. Magie is happy and enjoys your company as you do hers! Time is precious, so keep making those memorable moments a reality. Enjoy, and god bless you both, thanks for taking us along!
Great to see Maggie out with you again. It's always good to spend time with the family.
That is the absolute coolest coffee pot I have ever seen. I have never seen anything like that before.

You have a gentle soul camping with you. Give Maggie a scratch for me.

I think canvas is underrated. Heavy, but one of the best materials for a good camp.
I think that it's awesome that you're still taking Maggie out on the adventures she is capable of doing.
I love the sound of the engine on that Land Rover.
Nice Simon, Yes When I go turkey hunting in spring season, very nice morning. I know what you feel like a good feeling of peace. Good to see Maggie
Poor Maggie, I know the feeling. Aching everywhere, tired etc. Comes to us all unfortunately. But she's beautiful. She sure has had a wonderful life you've given her. You should be proud of yourself. Take care, great vid as usual!!😊😋❤
Old dogs are the best love her while you can. I know you well
God bless Maggie ♥️ we had a Old English sheepdog when I was a kid about 10 years old that was 50 years ago... Best dog you could ever have.... God bless you all take care! ✌️♥️😊
Sweet Baby Ray's is our favorite!❤😊
You are the most well equipped, neatest camper I have seen in a long time. Maggie is a doll and you make a good pair. Very nice video.
Such a good tip about the canvas tearing. I knew the canvas shrunk,not that it will tear.
Thanks Simon
Your Love and Respect for Maggie is wonderful; and yes, she should get treats. Can tell she loves being out with you; even if she sleeps a lot. Take care.

I LOVE the Gypsy/Romani caravan music at the start! It goes so well with your modified Defender. That Land Rover is the vardo of today!
👍 For the Maggster Ramp to get out your Landy
Four minutes in and loving that tent, canvas reminds me of camping with the scouts in army tents 50 years ago. Nice location.
