HiCleggy, those ashes that you take out of the fireplace are so good for the garden, just like in the forest when there’s a burn all the ashes goes into the ground so good for the Earth! CHEERS😊😅😅

Hi Cleggy, whats that saying "waste not want not". Good for you harvesting natures provisions. What a lovely cosy fire. Bless you x

Cut your nails dude 😂

How to order. How much

Why not get a battery chainsaw ?

Them zip ties will not perish they will last for years 👍

I mentioned the ash bed mate. To clean your glass wet a bit of newspaper or any paper, dip in ash and scrub your glass. Comes off great and easy

Your log pile continues to build up, and the bushes and trees won't miss those leaning against them. Bee hotels are a great idea.

I live close to this area, and know it like the back of my hand. The hoard was maybe loot from a recorded raid by the welsh. The area to look is towards the "castle" previously a fortified town from the hoard field, but to be honest, you could travel much further the other way towards wales as the angle from that attack as it does point towards wales, imo once it was mostly moorlands nearer the castle but theres a few trackways from both points. A point to note is that detectorists are fighting over these fields to get the rights for them.

Fantastic idea with the bee & bug breeding hotels. I tie mine up with either gardening metal ties (Poundland do rolls of it) or I use paracord (can buy from army surplus stores, perhaps if you tell them what you want it for they may even have some off cuts you could have) I buy mine by the metre and really good price. Either way will last years but the paracord you need to melt the endings to make it easier the thread and tie off. Make sure you put the hotels at various heights along the fence as different varieties like to nest at different heights. Your fire looked brilliant.

good stuff, love the bee hotel.

Hi Mr Clegg. If you just spit on a tissue, then dip it in the ash. Clean the glass. It works.

Do you have a map of York England? What an awesome idea, so much info. Thank you

Great video cleggy the teabags are a brilliant idea. If you collect your sawdust and mix them with wet cardboard or paper you can make your own briquettes 😊.

the bee hotel looks good pity about the pesky Zip Tie 😐

Use ash and damp newspaper to clean the glass, cleggy,👍

Cleggy why dont you adapt your push bike to pull your trailer save your back 🚴😄

The bees will be happy in the spring.🐝😀👍You would be best using galvanized wire.

Love your videos cleggy take care from Gary on the cold Isle of wight

Well done cleggy mate it's nice to see you being self sufficient

I dry the next day's kindling off, on top of the stove. Makes for easy starting, especially when split down to sticks.

being in nature is the best medicine. x

Why don’t you buy one of those battery powered chainsaws their brilliant.

Cable tie probably last longer than the wood, might be an issue with leaving plastic in country side maybe string

Hi to clean my glass I use paper towel spray it with white vinegar and dip it into the wood ash works a treat ,if the glass is to dirty just repeat it 😊

Best way to clean the stove glass is with ash from the fire dip some toilet roll in water and clean the glass the ash will clean the stove window of soot.

well done Cleggy. best of luck the only thing really good about wood where i live is that there is a horrendous amount available. most of it is hot rapid burning like Cedar, fir hemlock pine etc but plenty available especially if you have a gas powered sae and it is not - 20 C. and it all needs to sit for a year at least.

Wind fall cleggy is fair game your not damaging anything and you also know the old country ways my friend

A few nice shrooms still knocking about as well Cleggs

Yay well done Craig 😊 I used to do exactly what your doing! It’s was fabulous. I had a forest 100 yards away from our house so loads and loads of available wood 🪵 it saved a fortune on fuel bills! Now I’ve moved and have gas and electric 😏 Good for you cleggy 😂🎄🌲🍺🍻🍺🍻 The bug hotel are a great idea 💡Craig to clean the inside of your fire glass we used paper kitchen rolled in a ball and dip it a couple of times into the cold ash then clean all the dark residue off, it works a treat 😊

Near where I live there’s an ironage fort and a Roman fort on opposite hills 400 m from one another an old bog and rumour’s of a Saxon settlement close by

Is lidar evidence of ridge and furrow fields worth exploring?

There's an autosave plug-in that works well.

This is very interesting what you have put together on your research In my younger years, I went metal detecting and searched around by the War of the Roses took place on a hillside by Staffordshire Market Drayton but found nothing of any value.

You've inspired me to download and learn QGIS. And just I learned of our own (U.S.) national LiDAR projects via the USGS. So much fun. Thanks

Hi Craig, Someone well known to detectorists said the Staffordshire hoard was likely excavated soil from HS2! So if you can’t work out why the hoard is there that might be an answer! 😊

Love the video! So many questions? I hope you don’t mind. Are you local to the Sodburys? As I have seen a few recognisable places in your videos I think 🤔 Can we do that as the public? Ie. go and get logs from walks like anywhere? (Sorry if I am naive) Do you season the logs before burning? If so how long for? And I love your voice it tickles my mind 🥰 do you teach or share your knowledge in survival or bush craft anywhere else? (even informally) Keep up the great work!

It was a good try!!

can you cook a egg

Try cooking some eggs on the compost 😁

Looks like plastic wrap is a bit porous? Dodgy cooking Cleggy,looks slightly sulfphur or chlorophyll colored combo ,lol! Entertaining but a big nope on compost grilling!

Use a cast iron pot with a lid on top of the stove and wrap the spyd the same way you did in foil..... compost heaps are for compost!!😅

That potato looks well dodgy cleggy it's a upset stomach waiting to happen

Place a can of soup in there. It should get hot enough to eat, but not so hot it explodes.

Yay here we go! 😂 😊😊hahaha there’s nothing wrong with that? You can cook a chicken or Pork yeah no problem. Cleggy you need to leave the potatoes in deep hot ashes over night my lover 😁😁

Have you still got a stock of wood.🪵🪵🪵🪵👍

Microwave oven is your best bet. Only outside if you are camping .

Try some meat in the compost

Great try away

I can see a new channel: The Composting Chef.😁
