    Hello Simon I just wanted you to know that I truly enjoy your videos. I will be 60 years old on my birthday and I am just getting started in bushcraft. I survived stage 4 cancer in my head and neck and it gave me a new appreciation for life and thanks to you and Andy and a few others I watch. You guys have given me a new start .
    Thank you very much

    Noticing his opening on this video, I recalled an old maxim, especially for solo trekking far in the backwoods. "Never step on anything you can step over, never step over anything you can step around."
    A sprained ankle or a broken bone from a fall alone and miles from assistance is serious. Of course this maxim came from a time before ubiquitous communication via wireless phone or satallite phone or "panic button" locators. It is worth remembering if hiking off trail (bushwhacking) in areas without cell carrier service.

    hey Buddy, good to see you back out again. It has been a while or it seemed like it. Every day I am getting closer and closer to getting out again and it is mainly thanks to you. I am seriously thinking of getting the Grizzly Bush-craft Wood-burner Stove Pro 3KW as I just think that building my own might be a step too far.
    The Lavvu is a work in progress and I am hunting down black cotton canvas so I can do all of the mods in one go and then attach it to to the Lavvu. I am not sure about the weight of the canvas or how I am going to attach it yet, but this way I can get it all ready without making the Lavvu unusable for any time, if that makes sense.
    Still need to get a wool blanket for the warm shirt and I am not sure what is next in the plans. Let me know what we are going to be working on next :)

      honestly watching videos on this stove, too finniky IMO, other than the quick setup, I dont like the stability issues as well as those feeder holes are way too small. for probably one tenth the price (slight exaggeration by the way) just get the Lixada mini pocket folder. Mine was only GBP7.49 and works just as good as it's big brother. I also dont think there is much of a big differnce in weight between these two pocket folders.

    Thanks for another enjoyable video Simon. Hope Maggie can make the next one. She's fun to watch in the woods. You're going to need some extra walking to work off all those great looking meals you cook up!

    We generally don't use lean-to's. We have bears, mountain lions, rattle snakes, and coyotes to bother us. Your videos are excellent.

    OMG Your chicken and spuds looked delicious! Happy to see you thought ahead about how to protect Maggie (by leaving her home), and yourself by carefully washing your hands after handling the raw chicken.

    Great Camp. The chicken and potatoes looked delicious! You always seem to find these awesome places in which to set up a camp and have a great overnight camp away from the maddening crowds. Great Job Simon! Congrats! Looking forward to the next video.

    Great work. Want to make those pancakes lighter? My 103 year old great aunt taught me a trick. Carry a little bottle of carbonted water or sprite/7-up and add it. They'll fluff up. Premixed Pioneer pancake mix works well with that. Works good for making giant waffles.

    Nice one again Simon, its great seeing all you folks getting out this time of year. Tasty looking piece of hen too....Here's a tip (...although you probably already know !!)....give the leg bone a twist near the end of cooking, if it comes out clean the bird should be cooked through.
    The middle of the sticks isn't the place for dodgy guts...😂😂😂
    Cheers..👍
