Solo Woodland Hammock Camp. Campfire Cooking. Ribeye Steak. Twig Stove Bannock.

- Опубліковано 12 вер 2023
- In this video, I am out in a local little woodland for a solo overnight hammock camp, just the place to be to escape the the late summer heat. After setting up my hammock and tarp, collecting firewood and organising my home for the night, I set about preparing my dinner - a huge ribeye steak cooked over the fire.
It was a much needed relaxing camp in one of my favourite spots, good grub, superb beer and a nice night handing beneath the trees.
I hope you enjoy the video.
Thanks for watching.

Simon is to Wild Camping what Bob Ross was to painting: gloriously soothing to the soul.
I just watched Andy of Kent Survival and who else thinks Simon and Andy should collaborate on a campfire cookbook?
A Simon video will be just the old job.
A welcome return to your classic bushcraft overnighters.
Love that little “woo” just before you tucked in. Made me smile. Great vid.
You're right about the steaks they've shrunk in recent years. Lovely little woodland to chill in.
Another Great Camping Adventure Simon !! So Relaxing And Peaceful.
Perfect meal, perfect hot chocolate, perfect spot, perfect breeze. Wow.
Wish I could give this more than one like!
Good vid. Nice place. Man you got a snake den storing that wood under the big log. That's what it would be here in my home land of east Kentucky USA. Good looking meal. Like the iron skillet. Not too heavy. Lodge brand over here, home cast. I farm some, small. Always fighting time and weather. It can't wait. We like to eat. Good vid. Beautiful place Peaceful. Good music. Nextime
One thing we have in common is I also ‘cook’ my mushrooms and onions longer than I do the steak!!
Nice sear on the ribeye. Looks like it cooked just about perfect. Great method.
So good to see you make this sort of video again. Films like this one are the ones I love the most.
...and his canoeing outings and walks along the Norfolk coastline.
You are without doubt, the absolute master of this craft. No sensationalism, just enjoying the vibe, great seamless filming and what a sunrise to capture. Farmers gathering crops, perfect. Quintessential English Autumn - thank you.
I couldn't put it better myself
I love watching Simon
I found his channel 10 months ago and never looked bk
He has shown me so much
To try out for myself
I have learned how to survive in the woods..
It also helps that he seems like a good bloke
Well said @alltheteam
Good to see you again Simon, I pray all is well with you and your family. Thank you for the video
This channel makes me feel good.
He is the king of the knot, isn’t it. I cannot do none
Your so lucky Simon having a place like that 😊
Excellent! That’s this evenings viewing sorted and a very welcome 30mins respite.
Thank you Simon for another wonderful video and for taking me along with you camping I’m a retired disabled garbageman from Northern California you’re awesome Simon thank you for all your hard work and for taking me along with your camping
Thanks Thomas!
Well said thomas
So, today I am in Italy and will be eating Italian. Sausage and pepperonatta. That ribeye looks good.
Just subscribed to your channel been watching your video for a few months now I must say your like a breathe of fresh air between watching you and Andy it's like being there with you keep up the good work
As a north Suffolk man I noted the Mendlesham mast! I’d say you weren’t far from me, but you can see that thing from pretty much anywhere so you could be miles away! Your filming and editing just gets better and better. I love the way you cut away from the subject and just let the sounds come through. Thank you, so relaxing.
Thanks Stuart!
I’m just across the border in South Norfolk 😁
I’m just outside of Harleston, the other side of the Waveney valley from you and have seen your Landy around from time to time 🙂.
I agree stuartbalmer
Good fun! Thanks for sharing your evening.
Golly Simon I bet a good vet would probably get that steak back on its feet
John
At the 7 minute mark, Simon sports his knees of Steel then again a couple of minutes later, lovely get away video diary.
Yea Simon , falls setting in over here in the states , we’re still in the mid 80s but the chill is just around the corner , all the humming birds have gone & went & my vegetable gardens are all harvested & ready for next years crops , now I,m just putting up odds & ends from a good not great summer & getting ready for the upcoming holidays to begin & to have more sleep this fall & winter than ever before , we all know it’s coming that cold & frigid chill .
Another great video.
Nothing like it Simon! All those simple pleasures are good to watch.
Beautiful video, Simon!
What I really appreciate about your camping is your economy of gear. You have everything you need and it is well organised and thought out but there is nothing extra or over fancy, just good gear that performs well and does what it’s meant to. Enjoyed this tranquil camp very much, thanks.
Well said allye
Relaxing camp with simple but tasty looking grub.
Thanks Simon for bringing us all along. Any plans to continue with the Angel Ways walk again soon? I really enjoyed those videos, I think I’ve watched them both 4 times now.
Another great video. Really enjoy watching your videos. Thanks!
Andy says “Nice Shirt!!” 😂
Always put video up same day as his camping mate
I really miss seeing the beautiful, big Maggie❤️
Thanks Simon, for rolling out so early to show us that glorious sunrise and farm. Loved hearing the sounds as well; always grateful for farmers. Everything you cook looks delicious, everything you film looks lovely. Really do appreciate you taking the trouble to make sure we have a smile on our face. See you in a fortnight's time. Love from Western Australia and God bless.
You can't beat camping in the English woods, I miss it so much.
Thanks Simon 👍
Great stuff, love watching, thank you Simon.❤❤
Great video. I am now craving a good steak!!
Fantastic hammock camp and the ribeye steak meal looks delicious the sunrise was amazing thanks Simon for great video
Andrew that steak got my mouth watering haha
Watching this in the evening, just before dinner. That steak looks really good and is making my mouth water! The IPAs were probably the perfect accompaniment. Great camp, Simon.
Enjoyable and informative as always camping in the lovely English woodland.
Whoop whoop!! Best notifications ever 😂 can’t wait to walk the dog, have tea and sit down with a beer and watch it later 😁
Nice to see the Newfoundland patch on the pack ;) Love your videos mate, you'll have to take an adventure trip to Canada here with Andy sometime
Canada is on my list 😁👍
@@simonablokeinthewoods music to my ears lol BC is where you wanna hit for the outdoors when you do.
opens beer that’s travelled all the way from Colorado and it’s so shaken up it just gushes with foam till it’s empty.. 😂
Not often you see that in the woods you with a knife & fork 🤣😂 excellent camp fella 😁👍👍
😂😂😂
I recently to Iceland (supermarket in the UK for our American friends) and they do a 12oz big daddy sirloin which is nice and thick approx 1-1 1/4" which would be perfect over a nice smokey campfire
Great video mate, just what I needed. This stuff calms me down, my mind has battled depression so bad the past week I’ve never had it this bad and it reminds me of you and Andy’s mens mental health videos.
Perfect and spot on with the steak and brews.
Keep it up
Thank you mate, I’m so glad the video helps a bit - keep fighting it! 👍
Very well filmed. I love all the details. For example the iron rings instead of driplines.
You have a very sturdy place to sleep there.
Kind regards from Germany
Simon, i just recently found your site and I am so glad I did. This is just what I need to calm me down and make me sit and relax as I'm a bit of a workaholic, although retired and widowed. You take me away and I love it! My husband, kids and I did a lot of camping years ago and I miss those days! I live in British Columbia, Canada. My grandparents emigrated from Lancashire many, many years ago, to B.C. however they often reminisced about England and their lives there, my grandfather being a Butcher, so I know what you mean by a good steak from the Butcher vs. Super Market...it's the same here! Your videos are spot on and I thank you for sharing them.
What a nice surprise to see our Newfoundland and Labrador provincial flag on your rucksack! How did you get it? A tribute to dear Maggie, we suspect ❤
Glad you took time to enjoy the moment, without recording. Thank you for the video. Stay well
Always enjoy your videos while having a dinner❤
These days, I sleep on a cot. I use a OneTigris fluffy, quilty thing to deal with cool nights and cold mornings. Thank you for your video!
Cozy camping, yummy foods, 2 thumbs up 👍😊👍
It's been a while. I needed this video. Always relaxing, informative, and full of cooking.
Greetings from South Carolina (USA) I sure do appreciate the effort you make in moving your camera around, and all the editing you do.... definitely makes your videos easy to watch. I think a lot of folks don’t realize how much thought, effort and time it takes to make a video like this one. Big 👍🏻 from me!
Woo-hoo I needed that!, time to hit the road for myself!!😉👋
Sometimes you just need that solitude of the woods to make things come together.
God bless the landowners giving you permission to camp and film ! calm and contentment becomes exponential when we watch your nights away from being house/job bound.
I'm so glad I discovered your channel. You always manage to make me feel calm and relaxed (which is always needed😅). I feel I'm there with you and it's such a pleasure to watch your adventures and your cooking. Thank you for making the effort to make these top notch vlogs🙏.
Great food and camp setup Simon you ol'bloke ..😎❤✌🙏
Thanks, Simon for another nice video.
You are correct my friend, sometimes it is nice to just sit back, enjoy the surroundings and do a lot of nothing.
You're also correct about farming, the job of a farmer is never finished.
Nice to see you out enjoying a night out. A couple of cool ones, a nice steak cook over a fire, doesn't get much better.
God bless you and your family. Stay safe on your adventures.
THANKS SIMON FOR ANOTHER GREAT UPOLOAD
Love it when you put a video out Simon,thank you!
This is as it should be !!! We ask, owner says
Ok as long as .....
We RESPECT THE OWNER AND HIS LAND and everyone is happy ☺️ !!!

Hi! Simon. Another great content... That steak looks delicious.
Just perfect, from the farmers, who think they own the place, the lush greenery and trees, the hammock, the excellent twig stove for a right sized fire, the delicious steak dinner to the sunrise and bannock. WHAT A GREAT PLACE/ADVENTURE. Thank you for sharing. From Kentucky
Great stuff - glad to see you again. I can't wait for summer to arrive here!
Thanks as always for a lovely calm relaxing video! You make it look so easy how you setup camp and that little area looked just the perfect little spot for a Solo Overnighter! Thank you and all the very best to you and family Simon! 😊
Simon that steak looked amazing
Some incredible shots in this vid (professional standard I would say), especially those taken at the start of the second day. Well done Simon 👏
Thank you!
Another relaxing video to watch in the evening, thanks Simon , you will soon have 200 k subscribers well done 👍.
Still LOVING your music ❣️ and surely your hammock setup ❣️ and your cooking ribeye steak anyways ❣️
Love your movies! I want to live like you!
My husband wants you to know that you’re an AMAZING craftsman‼️‼️‼️‼️. He watches your videos all the time he’s a huge fan of yours and Andy’s channel.
Did have a wee chuckle at you chopping onions with a big knife when you had a steak knife and a swiss army knife with you!
Simon, nice touch, a Kent Survival Tee Shirt. Free advertising for Andy!
Oh and that's the first time of every heard of Bannock, I'll have to give it a try at the next camp.
Lovely, it felt like I was there with you, nice relaxed vibe. Thank you.
A Simon video is my rare treat! 🐮🐮🐮
My favorite videos are you cooking ribeyes, they look so delicious. Your videos always make me relaxed. Thank you!
"Vintage style Simon' loved this matey! Not long till the hot tents come out too!
Really enjoy your video's Simon that steak looked good. Take care Cheers B. K
Another great one!
It’s awesome watching your Survival videos
Great video and a snappy looking T-shirt!
Being a bit of a water baby these days I really enjoy your canoeing and sailing but it's nice to see you back in your native element again. Best wishes
It really look like it was a nice day. I have days like that when turkey season comes in spring. Sitting on a edge of a grasses field just waiting for the gobbler to come by.
Yum. Watching you cook is so interesting and tantalizing! Always an inspiration for getting out and trying something challenging!
Great video. Never get tired of seeing a fire built. That steak looked delicious. I may be having steak for dinner!
I loved that you were repping your mate Andy!
And Andy used a Simon water bottle in his video this week 😊
@@drmtbc yep! I commented that on Andy’s video. We are an observant lot aren’t we😊
Nice one Simon, love this. I will never get bored of this type of video. After watching this it’s made me think my next camp will be in my hammock with a steak cooked over the fire 😀👍
Can’t beat a slice of cow and a hang 😁
Once again, thanks. Needed some of your peace. Dave
Almost a reverse sear! So smart
That was a lot of meat! Lovely video. Well enjoyed, no doubt.
Utter bliss. Thanks Simon.
great lookin steak simon, i must visit our local butcher more often...all the best mate..
