    I have been very fortunate as a UK Veteran to spend a weekend on one of Nicks Woodland Warrior Weekends. Reconnecting with the outdoors and spending time away from the daily grind has been a huge benefit and allowed me to find some inner comfort and a safe place to go when required. Thank you Nick and the team for all the amazing hard work.

    Thanks for making this one, Mike. Great to see Nick again and to catch up with what he’s up to. Good news to hear that he might be present on the tubes again - the previous channel rapidly became an essential part of the corpus, in my view, delivering (along with the likes of yourself, and notable others) practical, realistic outdoor skills in an entertaining and calming way. And then much missed, although I recognise of course that every content maker has their own life to live, first and foremost. Good on all of you.

      {{3}} Great find! I just came across the new crowdfunding project for freebeat's Morph 2-in-1 e-Bike. It's a game-changer in the e-bike industry with its outstanding features. One of the most impressive things is the indoor mode where you can recharge the bike while using it indoors. The brushless 750W motor, 80Nm torque, and top speed of 20mph make it a powerful ride. Plus, the 80mm front suspension, puncture-resistant fat tires, and IPX5 Waterproof finish ensure a smooth and reliable journey in any weather condition. And don't forget about the Smart Saddle Detection+ and the unique ability to convert your indoor fitness efforts into CO2-free miles for outdoor rides. What a brilliant way to combine fitness, technology, and sustainability!

Great to see him thriving in an environment that he enjoys and can pass on quality info to people that as we noted could save someone's life one day. The cabin was a winner, families must love that and we know several veterans that have put their families through challenging times on their journey to a better place, so huge respect for the Woodland Warroir work! Now subscribed to both, looking forward to reading the book.

    What an ambassador for the veteran community to learn about mother nature through bushcraft.

In fact, I owe him a special kind of debt, because it was after conversation with him on how to pack a "brew" kit properly, that I found my favorite brand of tea!

Not only does it provide an exhilarating speed and power with its brushless 750W motor, but the 80mm front suspension and puncture-resistant fat tires also ensure a smooth ride in any outdoor terrain. And the fact that it can transform indoor fitness into CO2-free miles for outdoor rides is a brilliant way to make a positive impact on the environment.

    Great video lads, The UK needs more bushcraft schools and dedicated places where people can practice their hobbies.
    Its becoming harder to find land owners who will give you permission to access their land. I started bushcraft/survival camping when i was about 10, using my grandfathers canvas P37 web set to store my gear and an old British Army clasp knife. the Changes to UK knife laws is also making things harder for people. I'm now living in France where the rules on wild Camping "le camping sauvage" and Knives are less strict (everybody carries at least one folding lockable 4' cheese knife) dans la campagne

    This was 54 minutes long and it was too short!.
    Great seeing Nick, been trying to rope my brother into doing a hidden valley bushcraft course.
    this was lightning in a bottle, hope to see more of you two combining your skills.
