I am so ready for some nice weather!!! With that setup though what does the rain matter eh? Food looked great!! I’d rather be out in the rain than sat at home that’s for sure! 🥰

[@TheDavewatts]

These are the people who tell us what the weather is going to be like in another 20 years 😂 they can't even get the next day's weather right half the time

[@fordtractorfanatic4836]

Even though it was damp, it still looked like a good time

[@marksadventures3889]

I always look forward to your videos Neil, cause you're so down to earth and not pushing products all the time and show common sense.

[@dazzaoutandabout4870]

Nice one. I like your basic style of camping and meal prep. Theres a lot to learn there. we can all be blamed for taking too much and all the bells and whistles. Thanks for sharing.

[@paulshilling874]

I am glad you enjoyed Op Jackdaw woods Neil.. if anyone else wants to use it then give me a shout guys. Paul

[@treksntarps]

The good old british weather hey 😂( and weather forecasts). Looked a nice time out there Neil. Take care 👌🏕

[@thomasmusso1147]

👍👍👍 .. nice 😊. I especially liked the Nosh .. and cooked up in a re-purposed kitchen utility container (got the same and made a set for each of the kids, together with an IKEA Hobo Stove and Fancy-Feast Burner). Onion, sausage and beans .. comfort food of the first degree .. and so easy to rustle up 😊. A good share .. thanks. Take care ..

[@TheDavewatts]

Good job you're in an open shelter with that scran 😂

[@ksgonewild]

😂😂😂 windy night for sure! 😂

[@34outdoor]

That looked like a tasty meal! Nice muddy camp.

[@kurtbaier6122]

I enjoyed the video, thanks. I eat of the pot or pan when it’s just me. Saves on clean up. Also I like packing along a 2 cup thermos. Great having a hot drink if I wake up chilled in the middle of the night or first thing in the morning during cold weather. A hammock is great but not for everyone. It really shines as a reclining chair with you feet up and being high enough to not breathe in the damp cold air when sleeping on the ground. I would always pull a wool blanket over my sleep system to cover my head to prevent breathing it in. Three day trips with on and off rain keep you soggy. Without a big fire or tent stove you can’t properly dry out. I find using 1 or 2 layers of shirts very helpful as they are easy to dry, whether natural or synthetic, rather than a fleece or wool sweater. I bring dry clothes to sleep in.

[@perebird]

Nice adventure and film Neil 👍🔥

[@tomconway8881]

Great video as yours always are. Thank you.

[@greencraft4783]

Thanks Tom

[@martinnewman8819]

Great video Neil, good to show aa little resolve in the face of some crabby weather bud. Keep the videos coming, big thumbs up mate. Regards Moose

[@TheTerryMarsh1]

A right f*rty feast! Hot food cooked over a camp fire chases the chills away. Did you get dried out Neil? I've never tried sleeping in a hammock - it certainly keeps you off the cold, wet ground. Fine for when you're in the woods.

[@gud2go50]

It’s amazing how small cameras have gotten! I enjoyed the video!😊

[@TheAndyCorkill]

Thanks Neil, I enjoyed that

[@davidsayer3325]

Great night out Neil, thanks for sharing 👍

[@barneysbimbles]

Nice one Neil, can't believe you went camping in the winter without a hot tenr, what were you thinking!! Anyway I'm sure those butter beans would have negated the need for a tent stove 😊 Thanks for bringing us along, enjoyed that 👍

[@greencraft4783]

Gav, you're out every weekend doing it!! You are a pro mate! It's Op Jackdaw's woods, you will have to come along on one.

[@barneysbimbles]

@@greencraft4783 definitely up for getting involved with Op Jackdaw 👍

[@liammalarky3483]

That was an enjoyable watch. Thank you. Except for one thing... butter beans! Yuk. As a kid in the 70's, butter beans and shelled broad beans were two things I couldn't like. Uncooked, they made fun ammo for my catapult, though.

[@colinbrown4008]

👍 congratulations, a big W in the box 🎉

[@ruangilmu8588]

Thank you. Except for one thing

[@BourneOutside]

Nice night out, Neil. Love the screech owl watching over your meal 😁 Couldn’t even tell you where you were 😊

[@greencraft4783]

I'm not where you think I am

[@BourneOutside]

@@greencraft4783 Not my business to know and if I did, I’d never say on here. I am stumped 😁

[@user-eg3yv3xr7s]

Hello, greetings from California U.S.A. .

[@davidjacobs828]

Great video ... I noticed a large amount of water running off one corner of your tarp ... Did you lower this corner purposely to re - direct the water ? I've seen this technique used to collect water for cooking or making coffee ,storing etc.etc.etc

[@kevincorby435]

Just so happens we are having a similar dinner tonight, but I use a tin of Mexican mix beans. Love the vids, viewing from Australia missing the British countryside.

[@magicworldbyjorg]

[@donniwoodland4369]

Spot on little video that was Neil, wish it was abit more longer but beggars can’t be choosers 👍🏻

[@TheDavewatts]

👍🏻

[@johnhodgetts2791]

Neil, What was the torch you were using on the peak of your cap?

[@greencraft4783]

John, it's going to be the subject of a future videos as I am testing several out for a company . So keep an eye on the channel for details.

[@jasonpayne1700]

Hi buddy love your video's what size rucksack and the name of it please bud

[@dgunearthed7859]

In America they say don't eat where u sleep due to bears. No bears there, I assume?

[@thomasmusso1147]

UK .. maybe in a zoo somewhere .. unfortunately ..

[@TheTerryMarsh1]

I guess he wasn't camping in a zoo! 🤣 No bears in the wild here in the UK and no boars, just a few bores! 😉

[@dgunearthed7859]

@TheTerryMarsh1 wow. 👌 Now that you bring it up, that might be a neat program....camping in a zoo. I wouldn't but ill bet alot o people would

[@HighWealder]

Wolves all gone too 😢

[@grahammccleary7927]

Great video. I noticed your logs on the fire when was cooking and how they were positioned.. How did you feed that fire ? Was it just a case of pulling them in slowly? Thanks in advance buddy

[@greencraft4783]

Nothing fancy, a criss-cross fire lay to start with, then just lay them on as needed. As the centre burns out I push the ends in. This gradually burns the sticks up and means there isn't much in the way of fire dogs left over.

[@alisdar1234]

I was interested to know what you wear in the sleeping bag. Do you ever bring a hot water bottle?

[@greencraft4783]

I haven't, but I am thinking about it. As far as what I wear, a wool top, a pair of us army long John's and some helly hansen booties. And a helly jacket if its really cold.

[@ksgonewild]

Those beans and hot air would have kept him warm 🤣😂🤣

[@manfredgrobel2068]

Are you allowed to make fire in the open wood in Britain? We may not in Germany.

[@greencraft4783]

Only if you have the permission of the land owner.

[@simonthebritoverthepond6719]

Very nice! Certainly tasty.... Is your old email still working? Rgds.
