@@mnmikeoutdoors8595 Hi Mike, i just wanted to Ditto you about the language !!!! What a relief !!! I think Simon REALLY is " just a bloke in the woods " 😂 !!!
Simon, a bloke in the back garden. At least you can get outside and enjoy a campfire. I can't even imagine the horrors of lockdown while living in an apartment building.
I consider myself hugely fortunate to have a garden and live in a rural area during these times - and hopefully the videos help those who can’t get out so easily.
I live in an apartment building at the moment I wish to kill some kids for bouncing screaming and I don't have any kids you get the picture but I digress I just go out back and forth to work and grocery stores and well since I have mountain bikes and don't drive I go down to the parts that way and I do little bike camping quick overnights we can warrior crap if my headaches allow it and that's a big major if
Frighty i have 2 part time jobs and on occasions have to rough it out bush for a day or two upto 2 weeks at a time and the Swag is a must. Add a 3x3m tarp and you live like a king. Love them I have a small one and a big daddy deluxe which is huge.
@@fishingwithfrighty1615 both jobs supply stretchers and swag so I don't even have to use my own, its great. Might be doing an overnighter next week to do some vehicle testing at the testing facility out on the highway towards Charters Towers.
Well, that's one way to save diesel on the Land Rover! Seriously, that's dedication at 100% and I'd have been so, so tempted to sneak back indoors that close from home! I'll echo the comments of Survive the Night, and my heart felt thanks to you for getting us through the madness of the past year - believe me, your videos have been a massive support. Keep it up, and I wish you and your family well - and hope, of course, we see Maggie in less muddier times! Congrats to the winners btw - some seriously nice prizes!
Simon, You are not only a down to earth person, but a very giving person too. I watched most of your vid’s, great filming. 👏. You have excellent talents, are so diligent, easy-going, simple and truthful. I love your dog, Maggie, such a cute and loyal companion to have. Due to Covid my husband and I miss the nature and stay at home. Watching you in the woods or in the open air, it gives as if it brought the nature near to me. Please do take good care of yourself and your lovely family. Thanks for the vid. 🙏
What can I say! Absolute fan-bloody-tastic Simon, massive thanks mate, what a prize to win! Big congratulations to the two other winners too. I’ll be taking these straight out the door and in to the woods when they arrive mate 👍. I am in love with that Swag tent, that is one cosy looking shelter and looks well built too. The sausage is something different, not heard of that before, reminded me a bit like haggis? A top lock down camp Simon and once again mate thank you. 👍👍
Doesn't matter where you practice, as long as you practice. No exchange for hands on. Rained quite a lot here also. Shame i didn't win but always enjoy your videos. Always look forward to each one.
Hello Simon, I am Brazilian, my name is Lopacinski, and I enjoy your videos a lot, I am retired military man, I have already camped very professionally and today I like to enjoy good times in nature. Congratulations.
A big congratulations to all the winners! Thank you so much for the opportunity. That was very kind and generous! I am so looking forward to more content in 2021! Hello from Franklin Kentucky USA.
I almost fell asleep...Thank you. Relaxing. Enjoyable. Informative. May the Creator of All continue to bless you and your family as you minister to us with rational, easy going, invitational, and educational camping experiences.
Congratulations to the winners. Thank you for the opportunity. What a garden you have there, would love a garden that big for learning and teaching wood and bushcraft. Great videos enjoy watching them. Thank you
You can definitely see where he camped overnight after he left! Another great video, spreading hope in these dark times - makes us all winners!. Congratulations to the draw winners.
Even when it's just the back garden, no Mrs. In the Woods! Another great video Simon, thanks so much for reminding us it doesn't require a journey to have spend time outdoors and enjoy ourselves. And again, I love the voice-over your prepping the wood, excellent production!
Hi Simon! Thank you so much! I am a huge fan of yours and really appreciate the items that I have won! They will be put to good use on my camping trips with my son! Congratulations to the other two winners! Cheers!
Thanks for another great video. Its amazing how you can make a backyard camp so enjoyable to watch. All your video's are always good quality and my family can watch with me. Hope soon you can get out back in the woods.
Simon, you are so right to point the finger at Lockdown in your garden. Your tent, great. Put a tarp over it and a plastic sheet under the floor and it's perfect. Greetings from Frankfurt and stay healthy.
Hi Simon, So glad you have managed to get "out"... it's wonderful to see, even if I don't have the opportunity to with the lockdown! Please keep producing these videos as and when you can... you inspire so many people to get out there and try something different (even if recent events have to make you roam closer to home). Good health to you and yours. James
Excellent. Thanks for another lovely film Simon. I imagine after that epic trek home, you needed a long hot bath and a decent meal. One day, we will all be back in the woods where we need to be, but for now obviously it is so important that we all stick to the rules; any non-essential journey could put people at risk. Well done for making this so entertaining and stay safe.
Hi Simon A handy basecamp / homestead trick for splitting logs is to take an old trailer tyre laid flat on your chopping surface, then vertically load your logs in the middle so as you split them with your axe they stay "in the loop". Thus they don't fall onto the damp ground and more importantly it saves your back from all that bending down to pick it all up ! Stay safe ! Si.
Congratulations to the winners and thanks for the video Simon a great sleep system. Looks like I’ll have to order my own twig stove and skillet! Keep the videos coming and congrats again on the 100k subscribers
Lockdown content at its finest 👍. If only I had a garden like yours Simon. Loving the swagman. It definitely has it's own unique place in the great outdoors. Congrats to all of the winners, I'm genuinely quite jealous, enjoy. Take care Simon. Atb, J 👍.
As I sit here with my damp dog watching this lovely video it reminds me how much I really enjoy what you do in your style of presentation and then you make me feel inadequate by building a fire in a puddle
Love it! I’ve been looking for a swag like this available in Britain for ages! Just ordered mine now. Love your great, down to life attitude to camping and getting out doors 👍
Arrived today, it’s amazing, I can’t wait for some sunnier weather to season it before I take it out on the first camp... I got the bigger 1100mm version and so happy!
Thanks for another entertaining and relaxing video Simon. You have no idea how many of us need this to get through lockdown. ⛺ Oh, and congrats to the lucky winners!
Thank you Simon - the pud looked delicious and perfect with the sauce wrap and ale..... thank you for the pleasant video in a time of confusing utter chaos.....Cheers
One positive thing about winter camping, the beer stays cold without being on ice. Hey that's cool, opens from the top to step in instead of crawling through an end. Congratulations winners.
Love it. You know a guy loves being outdoors when he sets up camp in his back yard. A man after my own heart. Love the videos and will being heading to a small woods down the road from my house soon to eat, drink, and enjoy a fire with my Brittany Spaniel "Tuckey". Best regards from Michigan USA.
Recent new edition to your channel this lockdown via the Norfolk Coastal walk vlogs and loving the channel! I’m living vicariously through you Simon! Thank you! Can’t wait to catch up on your back catalogue! 👏🏻👌🏻
That's a really good prize Simon! I'm still to fully enjoy and film mine. Congratulations to the winner. Congratulations on the 100K Simon. Thanks for doing what you do, agree with Ant (survive the night). Always look forward to them Simon.
Pleased your healthy and able,lovely to see you out,its all up in the air and a bit vicarious at the moment,consider how lucky you are with your well being ,great content and a lot of work behind the scenes
The swag is awesome! Congrats to the winners, though it's agreeable that being subscribed to such an awesome blokes channel is a win in itself! Squidge on!!!
Great video on a nice backyard campout. Really enjoyed this one Simon, even though I didn't win! Thanks much for all you do here on "the tube", it's much appreciated. I had to chuckle when you put your boots on without shaking them out... You would never do that here in South Alabama! 😁 Thanks again!
Well done to the three winners. It's a beautiful kit. Enjoy! Congratulations to you Simon on your much deserved milestone. And last but not least, including me, congratulations to all of your subscribers who watch your videos. We are all winners! ❤️😃
Great video as normal mate. What a great bit of kit that Sleep system is and well done to the Winners of your giveaway and all who commented. Never heard of Groat pudding before, it looks a bit like Polony so might investigate, i like the look of that Hot sauce, unfortunately i cant have anything with Grapefruit in for my BP medication. Looking forward to your next Video mate.
Thanks mate! The One food company do a range of other sauces too, with different ingredients for the sweet bit - pineapple, beetroot - they’re all delicious!
Very few UA-camrs create content that is as wholesome, entertaining and relaxing as you Simon. Thanks bro.
I always look forward to the peaceful wholesomeness that comes with your videos. No bad attitude to overlook. No Cruddy language. Thanks a million.
Simon, and The Fish Locker are my favorite channels on the Tube
I agree. Every video is a pleasure to watch and there is always something new to learn. Keep up the good work, Simon.

Hi Mike, i just wanted to Ditto you about the language !!!! What a relief !!! I think Simon REALLY is " just a bloke in the woods " 😂 !!!
Awesome content as usual 👏
The neighbours must think....'Hello... He's upset her again'!
that's exactly what I was thinking :)
It was the click of the lock, seconds after I closed the door behind me that really made them think! 😂
Lol!
@@simonablokeinthewoods hahahaha.... "AND I'M KEEPING THE DOG WITH ME!!!" :)
This made me laugh. Cheers!
You could start a new channel, ‘Lockdown Simon, a bloke in his backyard’.
Simon, a bloke in the back garden. At least you can get outside and enjoy a campfire. I can't even imagine the horrors of lockdown while living in an apartment building.
I live in a block of flats, so content like this is keeping me sane
I bet Simon sleeps better in the swag than in his own bed.Nothing like a campfire and a simple meal cooked on the coals
I consider myself hugely fortunate to have a garden and live in a rural area during these times - and hopefully the videos help those who can’t get out so easily.
Am in suburban area but thankful I have a garden. Not one to camp in but big enough to chill in.
I live in an apartment building at the moment I wish to kill some kids for bouncing screaming and I don't have any kids you get the picture but I digress I just go out back and forth to work and grocery stores and well since I have mountain bikes and don't drive I go down to the parts that way and I do little bike camping quick overnights we can warrior crap if my headaches allow it and that's a big major if
You always make us feel like we are right there camping with you.
Simon, a bloke in the garden.
Man lights fire, cooks dinner and we are all fascinated. Keep up the good work.
This is just what I needed to see on a miserable day in the UK 👍 cheers Simon 🙏. Can't wait to do some more wild camps in the summer 😊🌲🏕️
Swags are a massive part of camping here in Australia 🇦🇺 they’re such a great bit of kit. Once again another great video mate 👍🏻
Frighty i have 2 part time jobs and on occasions have to rough it out bush for a day or two upto 2 weeks at a time and the Swag is a must. Add a 3x3m tarp and you live like a king. Love them I have a small one and a big daddy deluxe which is huge.

Oh me too she is Gorgeous xx
You say that, but you havnt seen what she likes to leave behind as a ‘little’ gift! 😂

woohoo! congrats to the winners. nice camp, but man that thing looks bulky even if comfortable.
It is bulky - you could easily reduce that by taking an inflatable mattress instead of the foam one - most of the bulk is the mattress 👍
Congrats to all the winners and you for 100k subs . Always enjoy your videos. Enjoy your long slug home in the mud!
I almost fell asleep...Thank you. Relaxing. Enjoyable. Informative. May the Creator of All continue to bless you and your family as you minister to us with rational, easy going, invitational, and educational camping experiences.
Simon you’ve got a great backyard! Not a bad place to spend the evening if you can’t get out. And the sound of roosters in the morning was awesome!
Congratulations to the winners. Thank you for the opportunity.
What a garden you have there, would love a garden that big for learning and teaching wood and bushcraft. Great videos enjoy watching them.
Thank you

From an Aussie who always uses a swag, it was good to hear you say how well you slept mate. It’s amazing how a good nights sleep can change your day.
