For this kind of lightweight overnight camp I've found twig stoves to be perfect. Simon, you said the stove doesn't give off much heat if you're sat in front of it. What I did was buy one of those folding aluminium windshields. It had 10 panels but I took it apart as 5 fit around the stove well. I wrap it tight to help conduct heat to the pot when cooking, or open it out behind the stove for use as a reflector when I want to bounce the heat back in my direction.
@simonablokeinthewoods5 жыл бұрын
Great idea! It gives off enough heat for close proximity (for solo use that’s fine) but the wind shield would make a big difference I’m sure. 👍👍👍 Top tip.

I have to give a thumb's up to your "no drama" comment. There would be a message there for the mostly-Hollywood producers of television series were it not for the apparent mindlessness of the masses. Personally, I'd rather count myself among the 205K subscribers of Simon's serene and informative content than those who opt for more contrived, farcical fare as the nearly 99 Million who are presently subscribed to the WWE channel! I cut the cable TV cord five years ago. In no small part, my action was prompted by the constant trend of so-called "reality" shows to artificially hype and promote conflict in their content. I suspect that you can think of several examples yourself, but one of several that finally soured me on "Reality Television" was the series "American Chopper" that followed upon the popularity of the original documentary that featured custom motorcycle builder Jessie James. I, for one, simply wanted to follow the design concepts and craftsmanship of the builders! When Jessie James' builds were first featured on TV, I remember contacting my late father--he was a WW2 combat veteran who, along with one of his three veteran brothers placed Harley motorcycles on order after returning to civilian life--and telling him: "You've got see this guy. You won't like his personality, but you'll be amazed at his skill and craftsmanship!" Sadly, such television focused increasingly upon outrageous personalities with each new series and episode; and the design concepts and execution became a dwindling fraction of the content! For context, I'm not a fan of "chopper" motorcycles or outlaw bikers--I much preferred what were know as "cafe racer" type bikes in the 1970s; but I do appreciate clever, artistic design and the requisite skills to execute the concepts in metal, fiberglass, leather and paint. Videos which convey information and/or teach skills and techniques embedded in entertaining content are, by far, my preferred fare. Simon suits that preference quite well!

Simon, you have a great sense of humor. Thank you for the overnight. Congratulations to the winner. I was going to have my cook out tonight, but a tenant complained so management told me I'm banned from using my fire pit. This is far from light weight but the volcano grill is great. You can use wood, charcoal, or propane to cook. I've also used it as a fire pit. It's double walled so the outside and bottom do not cause a problem. I even picked it up and moved it while the coals were still hot. A Dutch oven is made for this grill too. I baked a whole chicken in it. Food is excellent cooked outside. I wish we had areas to go to like you that we could camp out. Our state park is closed for the winter in overnight, but remains open for day time walks.
@simonablokeinthewoods5 жыл бұрын
Sorry to hear you’ve been banned from using your fire pit - that is a real bummer! Are there any areas of wilderness within reach of where you live? I dont know how things work over there, in England it is illegal to wild camp - but a lot of us still do - just carefully!! 😁
@biblebeliever45705 жыл бұрын
I may be able to still grill during day time hours at the state park. It might get too cold and have to wait for spring. I sat in the deer stands too long and froze myself waiting for those deer. When I don't have a gun walking through the woods I see them all the time. If I stir them up. They only hop a few leaps and stop to listen because I make the exact sound of a deer calling, no tools. They listen then I paw the ground twice. They will stand for sometimes 10 minutes waiting for me to move or make noise. Deer are very interesting to watch. I also saw flocks of turkeys maybe 40 wandering through people's rural yards, keeping themselves off people's Thanksgiving tables. Happy Thanksgiving if your country celebrates that in any form. It's the biggest day of giving Thanks to God for me. God Bless you Simon. Love to watch your outings.

Hey friend I found out with the bivy bag like you have I have one also and I have used a couple of pool noodles for children in swimming pools. I cut one to length to make a hoop like at the head of your bivy and put the pool noodles one close to the foot and one half way to hold my bivy up and it really runs water off very nice and you will have lots more room. I put Velcro stick on strips on pool noodles and across inside of my bivy where I place the noodles they are like pipe insulation very lite and I hope you try them because it is really great to have water run off and not puddle because puddles will get water in your bivy and that's not pleasant I have found that out so I made some arches with pool noodles.

Congratulations to "Captain.Phil" on winning the drawing! Enjoy, good sir! I believe you've used the "pump bag" before, and it's remarkably simple and effective. It saves one from blowing into it and becoming hypoxic and light-headed. I've not seen a link anywhere to purchase something like this, so if you could tell us what it is, it would be helpful for us to maybe add it to our kit. The disruptive pattern is really effective in this area where you've camped. I'm an American and I was a National Guardsman in the '80s. There was a competition in England and the state of Indiana in the US in 1986 to see which Home Guard/National Guard units would have their Annual Training in the other's country, and there was a unit from Ipswich in East Anglia that won. I was a medic detailed to help with medical support for them in a place called Camp Atterbury in Indiana. The uniforms the troops wore were an identical camo pattern to what is on your bivy tent. It is very effective. I am very impressed with the present camo pattern used by the US troops that isn't the ACU pattern, which I think sucks big time. Fewer digital grays and more shades of brown, with rounder or oblong shapes. The flecktarn and dot-type camp used by the Germans is, in my opinion, superior. It blends with proper colors. Anyway, the stove you used is making me rethink my portable stove choices for wood burning. The honey stove is light, compact and seems to work very well. I have an Ohuhu gassification stove but it's bulky. It also doesn't have a fuel feed section. It works very well, but weight and packability is important. And I do love pork belly. So so good. Nice video, pard. Keep up the good work.
