Hello Simon and Tom such a wonderful video in today's world it's great teaching our kids life skills to survive it melts my heart you are such a beautiful man/ father such a blessing from Australia 🤠🇦🇺
My dad used to do this stuff with me. He's passed away now and I'm 55 but I'll never forget even if I live to be 100. They were the best times. I knew it then and I know it now. I'd give the whole of the rest of my life for one day camping with my dad.
MAKING MEMORIES THAT WILL LAST A LIFETIME.TOM WILL GROW UP AND PROBERBLY TAKE HIS KIDS CAMPING. I HAVE FOND AND LASTING MEMORIES OF MY FATHER TAKING ME. THANKS DAD AND RIP
@royflint3551 - I used to go fishing with my dad, but only the boys (my brothers) were taken on wild camping trips and taught to hunt - not sure why. Could be that I was a teenager by then!!
Hey Simon, I don't know if you will see this comment or not, because of this being an older video, but if you do, you're an awesome father!!! All the best to you, Tom and the rest of your family!!!
@@simonablokeinthewoods 🤣🤣 As a dad myself that was something that will stay with me forever haha. Seriously glad I found your channel. Amazing content keep on keeping on brother!
Great video Simon, really enjoyed seeing some proper Father and Son bonding in this crazy world. And lucky Tom, he will cherish these memories for the rest of his life. Fabulous.
God bless 🙏 you and your handsome son Simon I really enjoyed the video. It gets a 10 plus from me and that roast leg of lamb dinner gets an extra 10+10+. Great video 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍 10+
So wonderful to see a father spending quality time with his son! Tom seems so polite and cheerful, and is quite a handsome young man. I am sure you are so proud of him! Your meal looked delicious, and I really liked the bench you made. Thanks for sharing another wonderful video with all of us! God bless you and your family! :)
+Linnee Kay -Thank you! Glad you enjoyed it. He's a good lad, and the weekend was great fun thanks to him sharing it with me. Tom made me bring the bench home so he can have it in the garden!! (I think it was his way of returning the favour for the Dutch Oven!! Hehehe!) Take care, and all the best, Simon (and Tom).
Sorry to sound like a girl ;) but I loved this video Simon! What a great memories for Tom he will carry the rest of his life. Wished you had shown the finished spoon. Really enjoy your stuff.
Simon I'm from the U.S.A and I watch your videos all the time and they are great! And I love the one of you and Tom it's great to spend time with your family so spend all the time you can you will never! Regret it and always put safety frist very best of luck with your family. Ron
Wish I had times like these with my dad when he was alive. Very relaxing these videos are a great help to ones mental health. Tom reminds me of my brother when he was that age! BEST CHANNEL on You Tube! C'mon folks lets get Simon up to 500k subs!! TOP BLOKE!
Sir I realize that this video has been out for a few years. It is the most absolute favorite video that I've seen from yours so far! Outstanding many blessings
My team did this to me on Duke of Edinburgh award. We packed up camp and I assumed all the cooking equipment had been divided amongst the group as we previously did on the previous night. We finished up that evening and I realised I had pretty much 90% of the cooking gear stuffed deep in my bag. If its any consolation to Tom, he's a stronger man than he was yesterday! Cheers!
Hello Simon watching you with your wonderful son is the best medicine for me right now because I'm working abroad now and he is always on my mind I can see he has the same Spirit as his dad 👌🏾 You should be so very proud Good on you mate well done 👍🏾
Watching this older video, and it was so lovely to watch! What a lovely time to have woth your son....and what a fab meal you cooked! Love that you whitled a spoon as Toms spoon broke....just so relaxing to watch.....now who carried the dutch oven back to the car??😁. Ha ha! Thanks Simon for this lovely video, which must seem a lifetime ago to you and Tom now😊.
Wow! Just fantastic looking roast and food for dinner. You are making me hungry Simon! I think it is so cool you go camping, hiking, and cooking with your son Tom. Congratulations!...Bart
I really like the videos with Tom in. He looks like a great kid. I didn't have a dad to do that stuff with so he's a lucky boy. My boy isn't into that stuff as he's got his head into PlayStation & Computers. Good on you 2.
Well, I’m not sure about me, but Tom sure is photogenic! He’s grown so much since we went on this camp, he’s nearly as tall as me now and costs me a fortune in clothing haha! Glad you enjoyed the video Lynn! Atb, Simon.
An excellent video Simon. A fine lad you have there! My boys also enjoyed the video and this will hopefully encourage them to come with me more often. He may forgive you one day for the Dutch Oven in his bag, but he'll never forget it. All the best, Al
+Knucker - Cheers Al! He's certainly not forgiven me yet! I think he'll be milking it for some time! Lol. Glad you and your boys enjoyed it. Atb, Simon (and Tom).
Another great video Simon. It's great to see you and your son enjoying yourselves. Bushcraft is the perfect way to spend time with the family. Keep up the good work.
+Dan Cooper - Thanks Dan, we had a really nice time! I'll just have to work on getting my lovely wife out for a bit of wild camping, then I'll have really succeeded!! Hehe! Atb, Simon.
Simon, a bloke in the woods That's the sticking point with me to. My daughters (7&3) love spending time in the woods, I'm hoping that they'll be able to convince the wife to join us.
Simon, My beautiful bride sniffled and was tearing up as she watched this video I had shared with her. We have built 72-hour survival bags for our kids to keep at school. The DepEd (Department of Education) in the Philippines actually requests parents to supply each student with a very basic bag. We do training sessions for practice as a family. Doing a trip like this just for the fun will be a new experience for the three great kids my wife brought to our marriage. The reason for her tears? She is overjoyed that we will soon be enjoying similar adventures to what you have shared. Thank you for the video, it was a great family moment.
Thank you Jack! I’m truly thrilled that the video has been a inspiration! I hope you all have a lovely adventure! The emergency bags sound like a really good idea and essential I guess I a part of the world where earthquakes, flooding and tsunamis are a real threat. Cheers, Simon
@@simonablokeinthewoods Yes Simon, the DepEd here in the Phils have taken the potential threat of natural disasters much more seriously in recent years. I for one, am happy they did so. The request from the schools is too basic but is a beginning point. They asked students to have a bag "with a change of clothes, some basic toiletries and a canned good." We went far beyond that with fully stocked 72 hour kits. We train regularly with the same gear we packed in the kids EDCs. Even a power outage can turn into a home adventure when the gang breaks out their gear and practice their skills. Thank you for your reply.
My best memories has a boy was camping with my daddy, uncles and cousin in November and December in the backwoods of Boligee, Alabama. I’m 61 now and I cherish those memories ✝️
Another great video Simon - thanks for sharing. Proper father & son time - can't beat it - lifelong memories for you both 👌 Hoping to get my boy Charlie out with me in the next couple of weeks if I can get him off of his PlayStation that is 🥴😂
OMG lol. Love love love Tom. Such a sweet humorous kid, lol. Well mannered. Cheeky humour like his dad, lol. Sadly I have 2 clown sons who love pranking me...sigh. Don't know where they got it from 😋
Hi Simon, im a new viewer to your videos, ive really enjoyed the ones with your son. He seems like a great boy and is very polite, Ive got 2 sons who are 5 and 1 years old. Im looking forward to these sort of moments with them. These are the kind of activities I dreamed of when they were born. Take care
I cried and got angry at this video... I never had a good relationship with my father and this made me seriously jealous I cant ever have kids but it’s nice to see how a real father son relationship looks like
+Albert Jones - Cheers Alb, it was good fun! I couldn't believe my luck when Tom asked if we could go out for a bushcraft night out! It's been a long time since he expressed an interest. Obviously, he only had to ask the once!! Atb, Simon.
Reminds me of when my son was a Lad. Tom is a good sport...Well Done Tom!...your old man is a good hand in the woods, so I hope you were paying close attention!...Fantastic outing guys! made me smile...atb...woods
+MTwoodsrunner - Thank you mate! We had a good time, nice food, relaxation and great company! Trips out with Tom and my daughter Beth are becoming rarer and rarer as they get older- gotta grab em while you can! Glad you enjoyed it Woods! 👍
Just found this little gem. So nice to see Tom out enjoying the woods with you. Is there nothing you can’t do Simon? Excellent bush craftsman ✅ Killer cool canoe builder✅ Attentive loving Father ✅ Great dog Dad✅ Also the time with our children goes by in a flash and suddenly they are too cool to join. Haha.
Hey..simon... love your videos....my name is ray..I love in the u.s.a...the state of Washington...in a wooded area...camping is still easy to do here...lots places to go...but I always find it interesting to see how other people camp and enjoy nature in other countries...hope to see more...thanx.
Cheers Colin - good quality time, becoming rarer as the kids get older - there are too many modern day distractions!! Got to grab the opportunities when come up! Atb, Simon.
Wonderful Father and Son time, and Tom has a wooden spoon carved by his dad to keep for the rest of his life, reminding him of this special outing. Outstanding :)
Watching some of these older ones, makes me think ..You are a good bloke. You really deserve the 58.3 subs. I watch your channel often now. I wanted to take my old Dad boating & camping, but it wasn't to be. Nice to see that some people just GO -and get into it. Cheers
Great video. I really like the Polish Lavvu, I don't think I have seen one before. It sure was nice of your son to pack the lightweight cooking gear in for you lol. He seems like a good kid. I am sure the excellent dinner made it worth the effort. Keep up the good work and thanks for sharing.
+North Country Adventures - Thank you! It was a nice night out! I'll take Tom more often if he's going to carry the heavy gear!! I've got a video on my Lavvu if you haven't seen it yet! Atb, Simon.
+North Country Adventures - Thank you! It was a nice night out! I'll take Tom more often if he's going to carry the heavy gear!! I've got a video on my Lavvu if you haven't seen it yet! Atb, Simon.
+51foxy - Cheers Paul, glad you enjoyed it mate. You're not wrong about them growing up quick! My daughters just turned 18, left school, driving her own car - I don't know how that happened all of a sudden!! Mind you she's coming on my next outing so all is not lost.........yet!! Atb. Simon.
there's nothing more precious in life than spending time with your children. My wife gives me a had time so it's nice to escape with are children or on my own.
Simon outdoors - Totally agree Simon, it was a nice weekend. It's not often my kids want to come out and rough it a bit as they once did! Modern life!!!! Atb mate, Simon.
Simon, big pat on your back for taking your son with you camping. I was raised in East Tennessee, thick, green, lush, wet, much like what I see you have there. We grew up dealing with starting fires in that environment, dealing with the bugs, and the summer heat. We loved it, being out in it, especially with Dad. That was a good trick with the dutch oven, topped off with a terrific meal. Well done! I wish you many more. Texas
Thank you! We had a great camp - Tom and I used to go on lots of adventures when he was younger, but as he’s got older, he’s inevitably found other interests. Every now and then though, he’ll suddenly say, out of the blue, Dad can we go for a camp? This was one of those moments and I always jump at the opportunity! Happy days! 😁
Ha ha the next video i watch, and there you are building the bench. Your lavvu looks different to ones i have seen reviewed, has that one got a built in ground sheet. Loved this video, the quality time with you and your son, This is what i am hoping for with me and my daughter.
Cheers Chris, yes, it was a lovely overnighter - quality time without the distractions of the x-box!! The lavvu started life as a bog standard polish poncho tent/lavvu. I modified it by sewing on side walls, a floor, zips, vents etc. I have a two part video on it - quite an old one! Atb, Simon.
Hello Simon and Tom such a wonderful video in today's world it's great teaching our kids life skills to survive it melts my heart you are such a beautiful man/ father such a blessing from Australia 🤠🇦🇺
Made a spoon...empathy, kindness and a Father's love, well done Simon.
My dad used to do this stuff with me. He's passed away now and I'm 55 but I'll never forget even if I live to be 100. They were the best times. I knew it then and I know it now. I'd give the whole of the rest of my life for one day camping with my dad.
It was beautiful to see your son putting his arm on your shoulder, that’s the most beautiful part in the video
MAKING MEMORIES THAT WILL LAST A LIFETIME.TOM WILL GROW UP AND PROBERBLY TAKE HIS KIDS CAMPING. I HAVE FOND AND LASTING MEMORIES OF MY FATHER TAKING ME. THANKS DAD AND RIP
I wish that every child had this level of quality parenting. Tom will go a long way in life because of this grounding.
Reminds me of the weekend fishing trips spent with my Son. Memories to be treasured forever. Beautiful little video. Thanks!
@royflint3551 - I used to go fishing with my dad, but only the boys (my brothers) were taken on wild camping trips and taught to hunt - not sure why. Could be that I was a teenager by then!!
Hey Simon, I don't know if you will see this comment or not, because of this being an older video, but if you do, you're an awesome father!!! All the best to you, Tom and the rest of your family!!!
A great way to raise a child. Bravo Simon!
I saw what you did there, you gave your son the big plate 😎...#a real Dad
Kids that age can eat half their own body weight in one sitting, and not put on weight
A tip: you can watch movies at Kaldrostream. Been using it for watching lots of of movies lately.
@Imran Holden definitely, have been using kaldroStream for since november myself :D
Thank you , Simon and Tom .
🐺 Loupis Canis .
all son and fathers need to spend time together like camping lot of fun
you seem like a great father mate, nice post.
+Higgsfield In the field - Cheers, is that good for taking Tom out camping or for tricking him into carrying the heavy stuff?! Hahaha! Atb, Simon.
If only more fathers were like Simon, maybe we'd have more sons like Tom. Cheers and God bless!
Great video. Good to see a father and son campout. What a nice boy he is! You must be a proud papa.

Well, I’m not sure about me, but Tom sure is photogenic! He’s grown so much since we went on this camp, he’s nearly as tall as me now and costs me a fortune in clothing haha! Glad you enjoyed the video Lynn! Atb, Simon.
I know! Ive had teenagers!
An excellent video Simon. A fine lad you have there! My boys also enjoyed the video and this will hopefully encourage them to come with me more often.
He may forgive you one day for the Dutch Oven in his bag, but he'll never forget it.
All the best,

Father and son...... nothing more needs to be said. Cheers!
Marco Pierre white would be proud of that
Proper food.
Thanks again
Nice to see a man teaching a budding young man some real skills. Time well spent
It certainly was time well spent - good fun, quality time without all the modern distractions! Not sure how much I taught him though haha!
This was such a loving video. I love watching your videos that i back tracked

I wish my father and I had done things like this when I was a boy.
Cheers Colin - good quality time, becoming rarer as the kids get older - there are too many modern day distractions!! Got to grab the opportunities when come up! Atb, Simon.
Wonderful Father and Son time, and Tom has a wooden spoon carved by his dad to keep for the rest of his life, reminding him of this special outing. Outstanding :)
Thanks Greg! He’s becoming quite a spoon carver himself - one day he’ll carve one for his son! 😁

Thank you! We had a great camp - Tom and I used to go on lots of adventures when he was younger, but as he’s got older, he’s inevitably found other interests. Every now and then though, he’ll suddenly say, out of the blue, Dad can we go for a camp? This was one of those moments and I always jump at the opportunity! Happy days! 😁
Awesome father and son time!
Ha ha the next video i watch, and there you are building the bench. Your lavvu looks different to ones i have seen reviewed, has that one got a built in ground sheet. Loved this video, the quality time with you and your son, This is what i am hoping for with me and my daughter.
Cheers Chris, yes, it was a lovely overnighter - quality time without the distractions of the x-box!! The lavvu started life as a bog standard polish poncho tent/lavvu. I modified it by sewing on side walls, a floor, zips, vents etc. I have a two part video on it - quite an old one! Atb, Simon.
very handy man then. Good to see as now i know me and my daughter would fit in one. cheers
Great...Great video of you and your son enjoying time together...Brings back many fond memories of my tow boys and I out in the woods together...
What a very sweet kiddo you raised!!! He is BEAMING with pride over that bench!
