Overnight Hammock Wild Camp. Canoe Camping with my Dog. Bangers and Mash.
Вставка
- Опубліковано 5 жов 2024
- In this video, after weeks of lockdown, I head off for a much needed overnight camp. On the windiest day we have had for months, I head off in the canoe with Maggie and find a quiet spot beside the river to set up camp. After setting up my hammock and tarp, I gather firewood and set about making a delicious dinner of Bangers and Mash, washed down with a nice dry cider. A comfortable but windy night is followed by a tasty breakfast before packing up and paddling back home (against a very strong headwind!)
I hope you enjoy the video.
Thanks for watching!

The way you treat your dog is a direct reflection of one's personality. Your good ole boy Simon
I never met Maggie yet I smile and cry every time. ♥️
Anybody that shares their own food with their dog, is alright in my books. Great video.
I'm not allowed to eat without sharing with the dogs
A man and his faithful mistress. Glorius viewing.
Does anyone else hit the "like" button before even watching the video? 😊 Great to see you back Simon. Loved the intro music. Stay safe! Roger
I did, Simon always has great videos.
Always
Every time
Yep! And always am happy I did!
Yep!
I truly enjoy the peace in your videos!!
There is nothing more relaxing than the sound of the wind in the trees, except perhaps rainfall on a tarp or tent canvas. Love it!!!
beautiful love the way you bring your pet with you maggie she is lovely love all your videos
Love the way you take such good care of dear old Maggie. From one dog lover to another, cheers!
Rest in peace maggie 💔, Simon you are very lucky to have all this footage to remember her I wish I had this for my old lost best friend ❤
Such a personable likeable bloke. I've watched all videos twice, so has my husband - its compulsive viewing........please do more walks.. thank you for making lockdown evenings on the TV fly by.
Thank you! Hoping to continue with the NCP in the autumn. 👍👍
Absolutely Adotre Maggie. I am so sorry to here the news. ❤
Good to see you and Maggie out and about 👍🏻😊
Only a good, kind man feeds his dog first. I really need to get one of those barrels too! Thanks for a great video.
Ahh summer in England, my favourite day of the year😉
😂😂👍👍
You are never really lonely when you are with your dog!
Brilliant idea, putting cracked eggs in a container, I shall pinch that.
My thoughts exactly great idea
Tupper wear used to sell a small plastic rolling pin that was hollow and sealed at the end, used to take eggs to camp in it then wash it out fill with water and use as a rolling pin.
Reading the expressions on your face, and catching the dings.
Pancake bater works as well.
Yep .. an excellent idea.
That was both pleasurable and inspiring. Thanks so much!
Great video Simon.What a beautiful dog Maggie is ! And such chill company. I grew up with Newfs and will always have a soft spot in my heart for them.
Great to see you and mags are out and about again.
Man, you are on the money with those sausage and taters! You need to come to the States and camp with us Southern boys in South Carolina.
Hello there, fellow South Carolinian.
Grits and gravy biscuits is some fine breakfast!
That swag roll looks awesome. Congratulations to all the winners. Thanks Simon for the opportunity and keep the videos coming.
I love to stream your videos for the music and the feeling that I'm camping without having to go anywhere. Great quality videos and you are, indeed, just a bloke in the woods which is exactly what we want to watch. Thank you, Simon,
In my next life, I want to be your dog. She gets to go on adventures and eat so well.
may your Hindu spirit live on as you wish (correct me if I'm wrong in my theistic assumption, since if I'm wrong, I'm wrong, and my assumption requires it).
She's lovely, our Pups are our Best Friends!
you better for your own sake rephrase that wish.....would you like to be a FEMALE dog, then? Have a think, your wish just might become true... :D
Hi from Alabama. I haven’t camped for over twenty years. But you are giving me the bug to start again. Thanks for your videos. Love them
Awesome Video Simon
Maggie is absolutely Gorgeous ❤
The reusable tea bag is a great idea.
Regarding lockdowns, we have been quite lucky where we are In Australia, as it is a rural area, life almost went on as normal, barring social distancing and ensuring sanitiser is used etc, they couldn't restrict travel from one town to another, as there are rural areas where shopping centres and places for supplies can be 100km+ away in each direction. Unfortunately the panic buying hit us hard, even out as far as we are. It was nearly two months before toilet paper arrived on the shelves again out here. Those of us who always keep a months supply of toilet rolls due to being in cyclone and flood prone areas were fine.
Our hearts go out to those who have been affected by the virus and those who are still in lockdown. Victoria here in Australia has been git quite hard by the second spike.
If that was us with our labbies when they were still with us, they would have been snoring in the hammock and we would have been sleeping on the ground LOL.
Paddle faster, I hear banjo music 😉
Lovely camp with dear Maggie. She was an awesome companion.
Why do I sit at home and watch you do what I could be doing. I could even just throw camping gear in the car and drive to remote campsites if I didn’t want to bother with a boat or a hike. We have lovely remote campsites here in the eastern most reaches of Maine, US. But I sit and watch videos; What’s up with that?
Well, thanks for posting for through these vids I can camp out vicariously.
Gary, I used to camp out & travel on a Motorcycle in the '80s but I don't feel safe anymore even with my partner.We'd go up to Canada all the time, did a Mass. to Key West trip many times but in those days you felt safe.In the 2006-2010 era we did a lot of camping at Acadia because we had a small property in Harrington which we sold because the 5 hour trip was too much for my spine.I remember when things were so much more pleasant, people had manners & you felt safe.Now, we are hoping to get a caravan & build a tiny home in a remote area, we are now frightened about so much due to the virus,civil unrest & a lack of funding to the NPCA.I wish I could go back in time!
just do it
@@bonbon3993 We will, it's just not like 10 years ago.Everything has changed & I fear for our Planet, I really do.
Dopamine is up with that, the interet is like crack. ua-cam.com/video/9QiE-M1LrZk/v-deo.html
@Debra Salt I’m so sorry to hear things are so bad over there! I think it’s true of many countries to a degree, but I still feel safe here in my sleepy corner of England thankfully! I hope things improve. 🤞
I love love love to see Maggie in the canoe.
A great vid Simon, Maggie is a beauty. Thank you
He called her 🐶 😍princess👸 awww
30:59 “There you go princess” 🥺🥺
Shes a great companion.
I love how dogs do their utter best to hypnotize their owners for that last extra piece of sausage...
Simon keeping it pure and simple as usual, many thanks Bro' God bless you and yours : TTFN.
I absolutely love bangers n mash it's one of my favorite classic british meals
Nice, laid back, peaceful video. John from Ohio.
Back into day 2 of 6 weeks of lockdown and honestly watching these vids is the only thing keeping me from blowing my brains out. Thank you!
Hang on in there! It won’t last forever. 👍👍👍
My definition of a perfect overnighter. Just sublime. Glad to see you're keeping well Simon and always good to see Maggie's fuzzy mop top in your forward-facing canoe shots. 😁 Thanks for taking us along. Take care, buddy and ATB. - Darby, Nova Scotia, 🇨🇦
Your videos make me happy..welcome back Simon and Maggie ❤️
Nice wee overnighter mate, and as usual, always good to see one of the most adorable canine companions in the outdoors/camping/bushcraft side of UA-cam.
Maggie is such a good girl. You and yours stay well Simon. Thanks for the video.
Lovely video, Simon! Was a joy to see Maggie 😁 and cheers for keeping us folk in leicester in your thoughts! It's been grueling on my mental health enough without the extra 2 weeks lockdown that I'm currently in. Just fortunate that I have an allotment to escape to but fearful for our local economy. Only time will tell but this video was a much needed distraction and a joy to watch, as always 😄👌
Fingers crossed it won’t for too long mate!!
Some of these people on UA-cam (like this guy) are making better programs than are on the TV!
What a great way to spend a couple of days - brilliant! “Maggs” looks so well because of her lifestyle and the fantastic diet she clearly has. I’m very jealous, particularly given the current climate - more filming please!
Brilliant video, Simon! Really nice to see things easing up in the UK. Thanks for sharing.
Was anticipating much. 😍 Please make more of such videos. Will watch the video at my dinner as the food you make makes me hungry 😂
Another great video Simon, thanks for sharing! All the best Joe
Simon ,ich möchte mal sehen wenn in einer Stadt mal nichts mehr geht, wie die Städtler draußen zurecht kommen 😂 wo wir uns oft aufhalten, laufen Städtler vielleicht mal durch wenn überhaupt! Deine Videos machen richtig Spaß Danke dafür. Ps, mein Englisch ist echt nicht gut Sorry
Danke mein Freund! Wir sollten alle etwas Zeit damit verbringen, zu lernen, draußen zu leben.
@@simonablokeinthewoods Ein bisschen ja,ein bisschen nein! Wenn viele draußen sein würden, müssen die Leute auch den Müll wieder mitnehmen! Das ist das Problem was mich persönlich sehr stört. Die Leute bringen das mit, trinken und essen das auf ,und viele lassen dann den Müll da ! Was ich nicht verstehe, dann ist das Hauptgericht doch weg. Wenn die Leute ein bisschen Rücksicht nehmen würden, wäre das super. Dem ist leider nicht so! Die Natur ,und die Kinder sind das höchste gut, wir müssen darauf aufpassen! Du machst das genau wie ich, ich drehe mich um, und richte alles wieder richtig her! Macht Spaß das bei dir mit anzuschauen! Deswegen hast du mein Abo sicher. Bleib gesund, damit uns deine Videos, und die Natur erhalten bleiben . Liebe Grüße von Sven aus Deutschland
Aber nicht nötig, wie Sie sehen! Ausser dem, wenn Sie das richtige Android Apparatus haben, geht es recht leicht mit ''Copy'' und ''Übersetzen''. You could even do Farsi, if you wanted to. Or Thai. That is something I bet you could not have imagined 10 years ago that would have been possible with a computer. Stellen Sie sich vor, was die Zukunft anzubeten haben könnte. Mind reading.

Simon I thoroughly enjoy your videos and especially your canoe trips, they are awesome.
The New England country side is absolutely gorgeous. Thank you so much & Maggie is a princess!!
21m 30s Maggie looks at Simon thinking I gots 1 sausage , you gots 3 , I needs more, NOW !!!
Super video Simon. Good to see you and Mags out again. Great stuff. 👍🏻
I miss the island :) only just got around to watching this haha, nice little overnighter mate
Thanks matey! Brought back a few memories - that stew!!! 😋
@@simonablokeinthewoods time for another 🛶 trip with kent survival??
I think it's so crazy experience. I like hammock camping too. I'm now using a hammock from amazon www.amazon.com/dp/B07NLSKSRF that I can set it up on a few seconds. I recommend it if you wanna set up the hammock quickly.
Good to see you and Maggie out there again. Great video, thank you.
Great to see u back I really missed your canoe camps an Maggie even more she’s such a nice dog great setup it looked a nice comfy camp just what I like keep them coming pal 🤙🛶
This guy kept me sane following a medical issue a year and a half ago. Found him on UA-cam and everything else went to the background. Thank you Simon. Dave
Good to hear that, hope you are enjoying the vids as much as I do Dave, Cheers!
Simon's videos do have a therapeutic value about them.
Thank you!!
Brilliant to see you back out Simon, welcome back mate.
That canoe is stunning isn’t it, just perfect in black.
Great food on this one, I was eating my tea and still felt I needed to eat your as well 😆.
The mash looked bang on and butchers Cumberland too 😋.
I was gonna say how well behaved Mag’s is then you went on to say how she wanders sometimes I was like yeah that would be my Sam too 😂.
Thanks bud and great once again to see you camp and also canoe 👍, Ant.
Edit: Oh forgot to mention, with listening to your taste in music on your videos I was wondering if you’ve heard of Bluegrass, it maybe right up your street. I love it and it fit very well with woodland camp videos.
Thanks matey! I do like a bit of bluegrass. 😁
Just wanted to let you know. Your videos have been a life saver through all this. You have no clue how much it's helped through all this.
Thank you Craig! Hopefully things will slowly start to get back to some sort of normality soon!
Last time I was this early the mob was burning elk statues to end racism! 🦌
🤣😂🤣 Damn it!! You made me spit my coffee!!!!👍
Nice to see you and Maggie out camping, really enjoyed this video thanks Simon.
Great to see you back out Simon, and Maggie of course! That was a windy camp out, don't think I would have slept at all. I've been looking at Silverbirch canoes too, is yours the Duralite version? The other thing I'd like to ask is where you got your Screw top barrel from, that look a great bit of kit! is it 30L? I've seen the blue ones with clip lids but can't find one like yours? Take care. All the best. Paul
yep where did you get the black barrel Simon
might be an olive barrel
Some years ago I remember having a BDU flask I think it was called with a screwtop they were for transporting chemicals and I had a polystyrene liner inside but never seen one that big
Google " canoe barrel for food"
There are several of the blue types with the over-centre rim lock but it’s the screw type I can’t find, even with a google search.
Great to see you both out and about and age at overnighted keep vlogs come and above all be safe
When my 2nd Newfoundland dog reached 8 or so, I expected him to stick around for a couple of years or so, but being a bit of a runt & the right size for a bitch, he lived to be almost 15 years old. Maggs could be him as, they are so alike, so fingers crossed & here's hoping.
Hopefully Ashley! I think the smaller ones do live longer. 🤞
Glad to see you & Maggie out for another adventure. Maggie had hers & then she needed some of yours. You know, what is hers is hers & what is yours is hers. Thanks for sharing. Stay safe, healthy & happy. 😊 🇺🇸 🙏
Welcome back, good to go out with you and Maggie!
And there you have it boys and girls... the Cumberland Coronary! Looks amazing!
Nice video Simon 👍. Great to see you & Maggie back out camping 😊😊
You're good people Simon. Thanks for the fine break from the race.
Hi Simon, great video as always! I find your videos sooooo relaxing, top bloke 👍👍👍
Your videos have inspired me to get back out in the woods again.. I live on the Orkney Islands and private woodlands 10.43 acres with a river running through and have permission to camp anytime just three miles from my house.. Thanks Simon
Vicarious mindfullness. Your prescription always hits the spot Simon. Thank you.
Another great opportunity for me to go virtual camping! Another fun video Simon. Love the cherry banjo at the beginning today too! Thanks!
So so wonderful. Makes me very calm and just ya know, that nice feeling. Thankyou !!!!😊😊❤
Great video looking forward to more on a winters night keep up the great work ☕️
Thanks for taking us along for a great time Simon! I always enjoy going along on an overnight with you and Mags my friend. Your channel is among the very best on UA-cam.
I like watching you and Andy's videos.
What a relief to get out again. Thanks
Great to see you out for a paddle Simon!
Love alll ur excursions and specially the food u make and cook ,we watch frm the comfort of our homes ,thxxxxx
Very sweet that you called Maggie a princess! 🙂
Funny that in one scene Maggie was ready to settle on the footprint under the Hennessy, then 2 scenes later she's napping on the ground! Must have gotten scolded a bit! LOL! She looked like she was pouting! Lovey video, thanks for sharing your adventure and continue to include Maggie ! 🏕
The view at about 19:50 gives it away. Definitely Newfie.
Lovely video as always Sir..thank you so much for sharing it with us :-) And Maggie is such a sweetheart! :-)
Now That is a Mans Best Friend
Bangers and mash! ! That’s what I will have for supper tomorrow night!!!
Only been watching Simon this week for the first time. Seen most of his videos ( I think) all very educational & enjoyable also he talks clearly so you can understand him. The musics good too. Keep doing more Simon.
Thank you Neil!
LOVE MAGGIE , good music
Peace and happy place shared with your beloved dog. ❤️4/13/24
LOVE MAGGS 💘 BEAUTIFUL 🐕 AND SHE GOT A SASAGE 😄💯
Thanks Simon. So much work goes into these videos so we can have a vicarious night in the woods. Well done. Thank you.
I found you days ago and love your vids! I have you on loop. You are fabulous to have as company as we are stuck working from home. Grateful for your personality, patience to teach, review and your personality gives me hope in this crazy world. Grateful. Your son is a cutie snd I love Mags. 😊 Thank you Simon.
Thank you!!
Great to have the wild camp events back!
Great to see you back out. Your vids are some of the best out there. Great content and such easy watching. Stay

Bloody hell Simon! What a nosh up mate. That must of been awesome.
ANOTHER EXCELLENT TRIP SIMON!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! THANK U BRO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Simon, out of all the channels I watch you have the best kitchen accessories ever, love the little potatoe masher. Take care and stay well
I have a children's set of utensils that includes that very thing. Stainless too.
Thanks Jo, it was a gift from a subscriber - works a treat!
I’m 73 and to old to go camping, so watching you and Andy, is lovely, you revitalised my soul, much love from a Lancashire girl living in NZ
Greetings from across the pond over here in Newfoundland. From one Newfie to another Newfie tell Maggie hi. Channel is spot on. CHEERS!
Nice to see a fire going. Any responsible person can deal with extinguishing a fire, but there's a rule for everything now, so it isn't always easy to get one going Not.til after dark.. By that time, it's supper and tastes even better. Bangers and mash !! Thanks Simon, another dream sequence.
Thanks sharing the 30 minutes escape from current madness Simon
