[@AntSurviveTheNight]

Morning Ben, hope you are well and had a good working week. Yes, I’m the same I like getting other peoples perspective on a trip and I think the three of us have totally different ways of filming which is fantastic because it keeps it fresh for people like yourself who watch all three. It certainly was mate I will definitely be going back at some point and always great to be out with Matt and RickT they are legends. As always mate thank you so much for watching 👍

[@MrWildWales]

Hi mate good effort on getting to that island appreciate it! The sealable tubs seem ideal for the job

[@AntSurviveTheNight]

Morning Mr Wild, thank you very much mate, one thing I always wanted to do when I first started wild camping was to buy a canoe and head to the islands in the Lake District, slowly but surely I am cracking each one ha ha. Do you mean the side air bags mate? Yes, a little expensive for my liking pal but safety should not have a price on it should it. As always mate thank you for watching take care and have a great weekend.

[@AntSurviveTheNight]

Hey there Gaz, thanks pal for having a watch. Yeah it’s a beautiful spot isn’t it. I’ll definitely be heading back mate. 👍

[@FlyingHaggisFilms]

Well that was a nice surprise Ant, haven't been on that island since 1973. I remember an old chest height thick walled ruin size of a stable at the centre of the island exact design and condition as the one on island just just a stone throw of Lindisfarne accessible at low tide. Both 7th century Celtic hermit monks knew each other and were good friends, history tells us that Brother Herbert and Brother Cuthbert after long and happy lives both passed away at the same hour. Wonderful and peaceful to have slept there. Harry

[@AntSurviveTheNight]

Hello there Harry, ahh good stuff mate, Glad you enjoyed it. That was such a good story I have actually passed on the story to one of my other subscribers who had a keen interest in the islands when he was younger wild wild swimming. One to be amazing with that story were actually true who knows. I bet it was good when those memories came flooding back of the island. Thank you Harry as always mate for watching. 👍

[@joehusband8479]

[@jennyleef1775]

Oh my, you have me dying to get out camping again just for the cheese and ham toasties. :) It's the Queen's birthday holiday weekend over here in Australia but always too busy to go away on long weekends. Perfect winter weather for a nice campfire though. I enjoyed your video.

[@AntSurviveTheNight]

Hello there Jennylee, ahh haha thanks. Yeah when you haven’t been out for some time you start to get itchy feet don’t you. Definitely worth getting one of those toasty makers for sure. It’s a real shame you couldn’t manage to get away for a night or two isn’t it. Bet it’s still warm over there isn’t it even though it’s winter? Thank you very much for watching once again. Cheers, Ant 👍

Hello there Linda, thanks very much. Yes, it’s always nice to spend time by the water isn’t it. Thanks very much for watching take care 👍

[@TheNeilo-Audiosound]

Woohoo now this is my Childhood Camping area since I was 11yrs old and I’ve often wondered about those little islands on Derwentwater when I was swimming in the lake and wondered if anyone could camp on them. Now I know😮👍 Boats needed obviously but great to see what it’s like once your in there. Top Video Sir and your Son looks like he’s loving it.🙏 Thought I would drop in before Chris of MCM uploads his latest later on. You and Chris do some awesome videos.Thanks very much for the time taken to do these👍🥾⛺️🚶‍♂️ Derwentwater actually in parts is 70ft deep. That Toastie Pan looks A Superb bit of kit.(Link please) I’m also about a 2hr Drive from where you were staying from Newcastle so your right it’s Gods Country with a short trip.

[@AntSurviveTheNight]

Hello there Nail, it’s the first time I’ve ventured there myself, I thought it was a beautiful place to spend two nights, the area is gorgeous isn’t it. If you have a look up the comments to Flying Haggis’s comment, Harry gives you a brief history of the island which I found very interesting. Yeah it’s lovely to spend to with my son like this, hopefully he will never get too old and want to keep adventuring with me. Yeah Chris is a top bloke, we’re off in a camp the weekend actually mate and thanks for your comment, I’ll let him know. Yeah 70ft, it’s scary what could be down there! Yes, the toasty maker was a top but, I’m very please mate. Ahh very close for you then matey 👍 unfortunately they have sold out of the one I bought, closed I could find you was this one, a bit more expensive but still ok. I’ll pop a link below for the toasty. Thanks very much for watching pal. Stovetop Toastie Maker & Toasted Sandwich Maker | Non-Stick Coating and Heat-Resistant Handles.

@@AntSurviveTheNight Ant Thank you so much for the Reply. I will endeavour to stick to keeping my Video watching from now to your good self Chris and Simon a bloke in the woods.I feel all 3 of you are the most honest and Fun out there with great knowledge as well as not taking yourselves too seriously but instead just enjoying your hobby and that’s all that matters.🙏🙏🙏 Thank you Sir and also I’ve ordered the Toastie maker so thanks for the link as I know it can also be used at home👍 Keep up the good work and Kudos to your Son for getting involved👍

[@AntSurviveTheNight]

Hello again Neil, hey mate no worries about the reply, people like yourself who take the time and effort to both watch our films and also leave a message the least we can do is reply with a decent quality answer Neil. I’ve yet to meet Simon in the flesh, just speaking through text so will be great to meet him when we do this trip together but Chris is a top top bloke with a great sense of humour. Yeah you have to have a laugh don’t you mate, I don’t take life to seriously because it has a habit of kicking you up the backside every now and then. Glad you bought the toaster, I’m sure you’ll like it pal. Thanks again for the kind words 👍
