    This video has several humorous moments, but the hat-grabbing vine, beginning at 9:02, takes the cake. It is a hilarious triumph of plant over man.

    I now need to find Andy's version of this overnight trip. The both of you are such a comedic team to watch when traveling together. Of course the cooking is always a treat, but my favorite part of this video was the branches taking your hat. The two of you always offer so much to learn in your videos. Keep up the great work creating and I look forward to binge watching more videos of you like I have Kent Survival.

    @Rachel-mt4yd 5 років тому +2

    Great video Simon! I agree with David Huxtable, probably the "worst pre preparation for Sweden I've ever seen". Seriously you, particularly Andy, will be in big trouble on a windy lake with waves. I hope you will be going in small streams like this one. Lakes are an entirely different animal and you need experience and skill to handle the wind and waves. Tell Andy to hold the handle of the paddle from the top like you do and take a longer, stronger stroke. Sweden lakes will probably be extremely cold this time of year - not a good time to capsize. Please be careful!

    • @simonablokeinthewoods
      @simonablokeinthewoods  5 років тому

      Thanks Rachel. I have some lake paddling experience, but Andy hasn’t - this the practice paddle to at least give him a chance to use the J stroke. We picked it up quickly and by the second day was controlling the boat well - a different kettle of fish on an open lake in the wind, I know, but it’s a start!
      We’re not going into this blindly, fully aware of the risks and hazards and we will assess our situation continuously and adjust our plans accordingly. He’ll be fine, and if the wind picks up, we’ll head for shore, we may even opt for one canoe, paddling tandem as yet, but we’d both prefer solo.

Of all the outdoor videos that I watch, yours are by far the best. About a year ago my misses put me on a Slimming World diet, and I am still on it. After watching you cook such delicious meals on your open wood fire I get hungry and want to partake of the grub you have just so expertly cooked, but there's bugger all in my fridge except for diet food.. It's really quite cruel. Keep up the good work, mate. Happy paddling!!
