    My wife and i have been binge watching you for a few months and I have to compliment you on your content and style.
    I've been enjoying the outdoors for all of my 68 years and I've learned a few tips watching you.
    Cheers and best of luck!

    Not sure how I've missed watching this one because I never miss an episode, or so I thought! LOL! I do love it when there is a good bit of real bushcraft going on - creative cover, making your own pegs and bed. Enjoyable to watch. Also, the forest morning sounds are wonderful! the little birds and the doves and whatever else that is out there. I think I heard a woodpecker as well. Your little poussin looked wonderful! My air fryer at home is one of the toaster oven styles, and it has a rotisserie in it, so I love doing a cornish hen in there. Yes, they always turn out so juicy and tender!!

    your weird camping setups with the weird/different tents brought me to the channel and i have enjoyed. Felt you had some actual skill behind the "fun" stuff and its nice to see you do indeed have bushcraft skill. Never doubted it but nice to see for someone new to the channel. Your bushcraft is great, your cooking is great, your weirdness to do something different is great, your personality is great.

      Yeah but he speaks a foreign language. This might help, Ok, new translation coming up for all the English speakers out there. Here we go. Fink = Think, Eevver = Either, Somefing = Something, Fornhill = Thornhill, Wivv = With, Fin = Thin, Slivvers = Slithers, Someink = Something, Togevver = Together, Froo = Through, Free = Three, Fing = Thing, Finkin' = Thinking, Wiff = With, Ovver = Other, Frills = Thrills, Fank you = Thank you, Anovver = Another, Somefink = Something, Levver = Leather. I did lose count to the times "Fink" was used. Just wondering, is this the way kids are taught to speak in schools In Engerland?. I fink it's time to go, Fanks and bye for now.

    I once had an Australian waxed cotton raincoat. When the rain started to leak through, it was time to give it another application of wax. Freshly waxed, you had to be careful not to make a mess wherever you went, sat, etc. Needless to say, my current raincoat does not involve wax.
