Bushcraft Canoe Camp on the Secret Island. Wild Camp with Kent Survival.

[@billybeck]

I can't begin to tell you, just how much your's and Andy's channels have helped me over the past few weeks. I've been suffering with ill health for some time, and not being able to get outdoors has been making me very depressed. Your wonderful films have really made me smile and got me out there (kind of). Thank you both so much. And happy adventuring 😊👍

[@simonablokeinthewoods]

Thanks Matt! Really glad the videos are helping mate. Hope you’re able to get out and about soon!! Atvb, Simon

[@johnaitken4725]

In the same situation, Matt,. Andy and Simon are great for when you're down, totally positive and genuine fellas.

[@fourteencrows1244]

Hell's yea! Hope you two lads are feeling better..

[@billyaitken1713]

John Aitken - good surname...... what part of the world are you in? I grew up in Scotland but live in Australia now. You're a good man for putting positive remarks on the post of a struggling brother 👏👏👏👍

[@jackscott9081]

Matt Payne absolutely spot on

[@KentSurvival]

excellent mate :) soo glad you left in the cornetto song hahaha.. but wheres the sheep? look forward to the next one.

[@simonablokeinthewoods]

Thank you mate! A thoroughly enjoyable camp - fantastic grub and excellent company!! The sheep footage was out of focus so I cut it, was funny though - the bushcraft bag hahaha!! Roll on the next one buddy! SPAM!!

[@WelshGallivanter]

Oi leave the sheep alone! 😂

You guys are so enjoyable to watch! just love watching you both.

[@MA-uu3sb]

Absolutely love seeing you and Andy together like that. What a good camaraderie you guys have. Awesome

[@LundysWildcampBushcraft]

Cracking video Simon that spoon looked great nothing better than a good chilled night out with good company atvb jimmy 😎 😎

[@simonablokeinthewoods]

Cheers Jimmy! It was a lovely camp - much more relaxing than the last time!!

[@lynneagle4348]

Great video Simon! My mouth drooled over the brekky! Andy is a hoot! Spam!!! LynnXXX

[@simonablokeinthewoods]

Cheers Lynn! He is! We had a good laugh, nice to just relax without the miles this time!

[@Antony_Jenner]

@20:18 Andy looks like he's carving a parsnip. 🤣🤣

[@SecondSince]

If you can't carve your own parsnip store bought is fine!

[@MichaelAndersen_DK]

That bag at 22:08: Om nom nom nom! Great mini adventure

[@2manysigns]

Thanks for the smiles man !

Cheers Geoffrey!

[@marc3hawks]

Andy's Good night sounded like too many IPAs. It's all good!

[@fraserwood8327]

Love the music

[@bgtrev]

Dutch oven cooking, you cannot beat it, we have a wooden tripod over our fire pit where we use our dutch oven constantly even during our winter (-16 C at present) makes lovely bread. Enjoyable video again, good to see people enjoying themselves without the need of a mobile phone in their hand! The outdoors, you cannot better it.

[@simonablokeinthewoods]

There is something about food cooked in one isn’t there! I’ve baked bread in mine too, except for a little scorching on the bottom (my fault!) it was perfect! Cheers, Simon

[@earlhayes2969]

It doesn't get much better than that good food ,camping ,fire, Beer ,Friends Spam and Eggs next time thanks for Sharing Earl

[@simonablokeinthewoods]

Cheers Earl! It was a great camp. Spam Island seems to be in the winning for a name! 😂

[@gordonmiller4439]

Kent sure can 'throw down' with the Dutch oven grub ( ;-) I know, I know, I just had to go there to make Andy feel at home. If he changed his channel name to Andy Survival, most would get his name right ;-) ) lol. Outstanding 'Voyageurs' camp with a bit of relaxing spoon carving and fellowship, Simon! Thanks for sharing.

[@simonablokeinthewoods]

Haha - cheers Gordon! It was a great camp - great, comfort grub, fantastic company, loads of laughs and a couple of ales! Glad you enjoyed it too! Atb, Simon

[@lauriebloggs8391]

You guys have done it again, just bliss, and...……………. SPAMS OFF!

[@simonablokeinthewoods]

Hahaha - it nearly made an appearance for lunch! Next time!!

[@bees8130]

I had so much fun watching you two blokes on an island laughing and goofing around! No hayfeaver, no diving for cameras, no paddeling around to find a place to rest your heads... I loved it, seams a new dream-team is born 😉

[@simonablokeinthewoods]

Thank you Bee! It was a much more relaxing trip - I made sure my GoPro was secured to the canoe with a lanyard - no way I was going in after it at this time of year haha! Cheers!

[@cindymitchell6719]

Thank you! It was a great, relaxed trip, good food and good company. Cheers, Simon

[@billyaitken1713]

😍 Loved it!! You pair are an absolute crack-up together!! (Shame Andy got ill when you went to Sweden). My fave two British KZbinrs...you really produced the goods on this one. The shelter with the kayak was a great improvisation. Thanks to both of you for providing great content & positive messages to all those struggling along with life at the moment, you make a great difference & entertain so many of us around the world👍👏👏👏❗️

[@simonablokeinthewoods]

Thanks mate! Andy and I need to organise another trip when this virus/lockdown eases! 👍🏕🔥🛶😁

Good job some of us are old enough to get the cornetto song. Makes a change from humming the Hawaii 5 0 tune. love the all in one breakfast in a pan, and bung eggs in at the end. Thats been one of my tricks since the early 90s. Good bit of filming. Gary.

Thank you James! He’s a top bloke - great company! Atb, Simon

[@rodbennettakakampzite5448]

Nice buddy weekend! Looks like Andy did a really good job with that stew... dumplings sounds like a really tasty addition, gonna try them in my next pot this winter. Been spending a lot of time outdoors with a friend of the family (my wife's cousin's husband). He is a really good guy and its been real fun getting to know him better. He has access to a cabin in our local foothills and we are planning a rabbit hunt weekend and cooking said rabbits when the weather gets cooler. Keep these videos going, you have a keen eye and a gift for showing outdoor fun! Don't know what I will do once I finish watching all of yours...I guess I'll have to start watching Andy's...lol

[@simonablokeinthewoods]

Haha - Thanks Rod! Hope you have fun on your bunny pinging trip. 👍

[@simonablokeinthewoods]

Cheers Nick! 😁👍

[@BruceBurkhalter]

Thanks Simon, your canoe camping videos always manage to bring a mellow attitude and relaxed smile to my face. And for me that's the point of canoe camping in the first place. Some folks always want to make a race of it...how many miles can we make by sunset...set up camp by head lamp, break before dawn and race again. I like to leave the rats to race at the day job.

[@simonablokeinthewoods]

Me too Bruce! For me, canoeing is about tranquility and relaxation! Really glad you enjoyed the video. Atb, Simon

[@atomr123]

Another great video......like the idea of the instant soup as a stock

[@silveric027]

Super video ça fait plaisir.

[@PillSharks]

Me and a good mate wild camped on Denny island which is in the top part of the Bristol Channel to raise money for 2 charities, we both slept under the small boat which we used to row between the work boat which took us out and the island.. It was January and we really shouldn't of gone but the pressure was on so we went, we had 5 days and night of 70 to 80 mph winds and bitter cold nights and days.. One night the tides were up and the seas were crashing into the island and sending spray over the island and pounding our upturned boat! It was a brilliant experience but not one I'd do again in a hurry.. lol Luckily the day we were due to be picked up the weather calmed down and we made it home safe.. Another great video..

[@simonablokeinthewoods]

Man, that sounds like you had a real challenge!! Well done and especially for seeing it through - I bet you raised a fortune! Good on ya!

[@PillSharks]

Simon, a bloke in the woods a couple of grand from memory, to be honest we didn't really have any choice but to see it through once on the island as we couldn't get off!

[@jakesako]

Next time send a breakfast wrap down to me in Australia 😀 they looked GOOD ! 👍

[@simonablokeinthewoods]

They were good! I think I need to diet after that weekend! 😁

[@biblebeliever4570]

Thank you for your videos. It makes me feel that I'm very much missing my life of camping. My disability was a challenge before but still made a go of boundary water and Quetico camping. Now I just couldn't handle it. If I had a camping partner it would make it easier, unfortunately the person I used to go with found another to spend their time. At least I can live it through you, blokes.
