[@synappticuser5669]

Laughed at the featherstick storage. I think you must have kept a lot of folk going through 2021 and the stresses of Covid. All the Best to you and yours. McIntyre - Jockland.

[@budwilliams6590]

I didn't get the notification till after it was over. Happy New Year's Nick, Louise, Finley and Tilly from Ohio.

[@budwilliams6590]

Love the smell of pine and wood smoke.

[@budwilliams6590]

I had a black lab. He was a VERY high energy animal, and he didn't start to slow down till he was nearly 12 years old.

[@candicehealy1629]

Missed the live stream but caught it here loved Finley's reaction to the feather sticks! A bit like mine 😂 didn't know about them, something new to try out when lighting the fire! And yes that's how much of a beginner l am.... Will be a pro now 😂 congratulations on the live stream and well done everyone. 👍

[@codieharris049]

Hi from East coast Canada. Wanted to see the stream but there is next time, love your valuable information and hard work. I use some techniques you shown to learn better and teach my son. Looking forward to seeing more content and the new winter setup. Cheers !

[@TheVaughan69]

Gutted I missed the livestream but loved watching this. Thank you for sharing ✊🏼

[@TheVaughan69]

[@aynsleycooper365]

Hi Guys, we were pleased to have been amongst those to drop in on the chat actually live, enjoyed it. Keep us all in the loop for the coastal challenge. PS Picked up the Live Chat via the YT notifications...

G,day Nick Went to bed early and missed you! Will try to watch your next live. Like the fan, must get one for next winter. 36c here today , no fire. All the best to you and yours. Bluey

[@Tykepaints]

Missed the notification but will keep an closer eye out on a Sunday going forward! Great video Nick & all the family, ATB for 2022 - looking forward to seeing the costal hike.

[@bethstewart1319]

Thanks for the homey show, love it. I make soup and boiled puddings on the wood stove among other things.

[@davidmorgan7663]

Keep up the good work. You inspire to keep going instead if giving in. 🤟

[@lyndsey4244]

Just caught up with the live stream, amazing work both yourself and your wife Louise do. I have been tuning in for the last year and love the channel! I love camping but not braved it so wild, hope to challenge myself this year. Happy New year guys from Merseyside

[@Kenny-np6bf]

Looking forward to your 100 mile challenge and seeing what kit you take and more importantly what you leave behind. 👍👍

[@percysoutdoors5822]

Hey Nick! Had to drop off early….. The wife wanted to pop out. Typical! Loving the channel and vids. Thanks for the advice and Happy New Year to you all.

[@jimmybrooks1059]

Nick, howdy Jimmy from Louisiana here. Happy New Year!!! 🎉🎉🎉🥳 Love the live gig, Big hello to Finley and Mum. Great job keep up the good work! 👍⭐ Just goes to show how transferable skills can be and how relaxing certain ones can get you out of your head and enjoy life. Cheers Mate 👍

[@StevenBarwell01]

Sorry missed the show, watching the re-run, was out in the storm over Oxfordshire, expert at catching the Rain atm, was up on the flooded Ridgeway, we would have been dryer jumping in a bath!! Glad someone was by a fire warming themselves 😂

[@carlk1183]

I missed the live stream but when you were talking about the artillery shell, I learned you can't control certain things that happen but we can work at controlling how we react to it. I see you working at "owning it" rather than it "owning you" Greetings from a Texas Policeman who has seen a few things myself. Blessings to you and yours friend!

[@colleenshaw3481]

Happy New Years Nick and family! How lovely, sorry I missed this. So nice to see the family altogether and your son is already learning safely lifetime skills he will use all his life. I love watching children learn. You can see your son stop and watch. Hahahaha you are right about attention span but do not let that fool you. Think about how fast he has learned language, to move his body, and now is adding very fast what you and your wife are teaching. Enjoy the trip!

[@MikeWood]

Couldn't catch this live as I was out wandering in the first bit of snow here in Southern Ontario, Canada. Pine forest in the fall, that's the thing. :)

[@MarkoCoomo]

Happy new year all at HVB. Those thermoelectric fans are great.

[@marksadventures3889]

Haven't seen this live. Happy 2022 to you all. I have a bag of kindling and feather sticks ready for any fire and I try to remember to replenish them when required. Demmo box yes, I was thinking about making a hot tent stove from one, the weight issue though. Good to see Finley learning young. Great start in life.

[@trevorday7979]

Spewin I missed the live run Nick, but enjoyed the delayed telecast nonetheless here in Aus. 😩🤣 Continue to be the change mate! Tip I sometimes give in-line with the writing on paper and burn…if you happen to be in urban setting without the fire, I often suggest writing on some dunny paper and flush it and be done with it. Anyway, loved Fin’s cameo, great to see and wishing you and Louise and Finley a great new year with continuing success. Cheers Mate. Trev 🤝👍 🇦🇺🦘

[@TheBigfatmatt]

Bit late to the party, been staying away from Internet and having as much time as possible with my wife and kids, but hoping you had a great Xmas and a very happy new year Nick and family, Our home runs from a backboiler off the fire, it literally is the centre of the home, nothing quite as satisfying as prepping the fire/feathersticks😊😊😊 Looking forward to seeing what you get up to this year, I was given a lovely set of word carving whittling knives by my daughters for Xmas and plan to start making 'things' from my stack of Beech and Oak off cuts this year. Good to see you all looking healthy and happy, Matt and family,Cornwall😉

[@mattyp80]

Sorry I missed it live but down here in Buxted with my Mum! Happy New Year to you all 🙂

[@russeljohn3471]

Happy new year to you and your family. Missed the live stream as I was at work. Looking forward to watching your videos in 2022. ATB Russ

[@stemtm]

Hi Nick , I'm afraid I missed your live stream but it looked like little Finley was having fun helping his dad , Happy New Year and all the best for 22 👍

[@danhart7769]

What a lovely half an hour in front of the wood burner. Happy New Year to you and yours mate. I would love to spend a weekend learning some bushcraft basics with you guys. Picking up my new Lionsteel B40 on Tuesday, so maybe I'll see you in the spring. Cheers.

[@tomjohnson9338]

South West Coast Path? Might be a bit wild and woolly in January. Journey On! Like your attitude and your acknowledgement of mental health. Cheers.

[@martinscammell8790]

Just caught up great vid bud.

[@RSLtreecare]

Happy new year.

[@philltatham4732]

Missed this bud, Happy New year to you to and yours Nick. Finlay for the next Ray Mears lol

[@SonofChurchill]

@Nick HVB Wise words from you some hit home again! "Saying yes then not turning up" Done that. Have found the danger is they no longer ask me to go out. And I'm still not able to make a feather stick could that be down to how sharp my knife is? Or I'm I just blaming the tools. You made it look effortless 😎 Happy New Year.

[@irampotter]

Happy new year Nick, Louise and Finlay, (please forgive me if I misspelt your sons name), thanks for all the inspiration this past year.

[@marksadventures3889]

Pine yes, cherry and apple and oak. I cut myself off from people without realising it. I found I feel more peaceful alone. I didn't want to continuously explain myself either. I keep in touch through social media with friends who know.

[@candicehealy1629]

Now you just mentioned there about the knife being blunt, and sharpening it. Is there special ways to look after you knife equipment? Making the feather sticks looks soooooo relaxing and I'd say the smell of pine probably adds to the relaxation......now you make it look easy is it? 😂also can you pre make feather sticks and store them for future use? Oh crikey..... Best of luck with the 100 mile challenge!

[@ashleyholland929]

Hi happy new year....

[@davefallows9537]

Hi sorry for been late but I hope that you can read in the morning but I talk my son out on walks and I am learning bushcraft I'm struggling in knot making for my tarp I live in Wakefield
