I go up my local woods most nights, light or dark, and make a brew using your fire trough mini and a Trangia. Very simple and sometimes I'll cook a steak or sausages, and as Hazy would put it, its 'Good for the Noggin'

[@RichardOutdoors]

It certainly is!

[@mattharte7334]

Richard you’re absolutely right the videos do not all need to be action packed. I really enjoyed this video, the pace of it was relaxing and there’s nothing better than sitting in the woods, making breakfast or lunch. More of the same, please!

[@43963]

Totally agree with you Richard, keep it simple and enjoy the little things. This one was spot on for me. Thanks! Henk (from Holland)

[@RichardOutdoors]

All the best Henk!

[@johnpayne3048]

Good job! A simple “visit” is fine. As we get older, changes are something we all have to do. Thanks for sharing. Simon, a bloke in the woods, has expressed an interest in learning how to fish. Maybe you could help him. He doesn’t need to go on a grand far away trip. Just teach him how to down size and catch the fish near the shore and close to home. Thanks for all you do and taking us along.

[@markstevens3789]

Great to see you again. Don’t change it too much. Keep it simple and natural. We all need it. Thanks Richard. All the best.

[@RichardOutdoors]

Thanks Mark!

[@stusrambles]

Love this! Just going outside clears the head, even if not into a forest. I work from home so I use my Trangia every week day, outside in the garden under a semi-permanently erected tarpaulin for my 2nd cup of coffee at 9am. And on the odd occasion for bacon and eggs. Glad you are going to keep making videos - they're great fun.

[@Detsteve]

I believe that there are a lot of these small opportunities to get out for an hour that are often ignored. Consequently time is spent waiting for the bigger block of time to be available and, I think, I could easily do enough small outings to equal the time spent on a big outing. I find about 45 minutes out in nature is a huge reset for me. I can do that a few times a week to stay mentally energized. Also, this keeps my skills at their best. I feel your pain when the tea doesn't happen. lol! Great video. Thank you.

[@westflerchinger]

Please understand that we see you as a friend, albeit one we will likely never meet in person. We watch your videos to connect with you, catch up with how you are and what you’re doing. At least, that’s how I see it. So we don’t need anything mega, or stupendous, watching you make a cuppa in the woods makes us feel good. I don’t need to learn anything specific, or see some stunt, I just like connecting with you in this way. (Hope that doesn’t sound stalker-y, lol. )

[@RichardOutdoors]

Much appreciated.

Hi Richard have you ever used cha punck wood easy to make and find I have allways found it takes a spark or solar so great give it a go you will find it's great big thanks 👍 nice video 👍

[@garyedgar7383]

fantastic good to see you back keep up the great content thank you.

[@billcenzo182]

Great chilled out video Richard 👍. Good to see you back

[@scootladychicago]

love the simple outing. sometimes we make a fire in our fire pit in our yard and pull out the billy can to boil water for a nice cup of hot chocolate or hot cider just like if we were out camping. 🛴❤

[@robertfreeman6082]

It warmed my heart to hear you talk about going into the garage and firing up a stove. My wife sometimes comes back to find the conservatory table covered in meths stoves I have dug out and fired up just for the fun of boiling water and working out which works best, which cat-food can height gap works gives the faster boil etc. Lovely relaxed video thank you.

[@thebikepackingadventurer]

Simplicity sometimes is the best. What’s best for you though is most important. 👌🏻 If that involves bacon and halloumi, that’s a win, perhaps a tad less done though 😂🔥

[@RichardOutdoors]

Ha. Actually it was just a thin crisp…..quite nice texture really! Hope you’re well mate. I’ll catch up with your vids as soon as my backside hits a chair!

[@thebikepackingadventurer]

@@RichardOutdoors many a time I have forgot about halloumi on a bbq. I have never taken it out to camp but I will, as I love it. 😋 Busy man here there and everywhere. Hopefully you find time to camp more this winter, have nice fires and do some good cooking 👌🏻

[@simondickinson4236]

We don’t need “wild and wacky” but no tea bags, that’s unforgivable😂

[@RichardOutdoors]

I know!

[@dianecalvert8920]

Lovely to see you Mr O, as always you made us smile. Off in the garden to make a cuppa now x

[@RichardOutdoors]

Xxxx

[@stephencritchley9355]

Wild? Occasionally. Wacky? Always. Required to continue? Definitely!! Most entertaining & relaxing. No pretentions.

[@lindsaycranch8130]

You are absolutely spot on! Half the fun is in the ‘ceremony’ of making a drink in a slightly more mindful way. In nature is even better! Love it! 🙏🏻

[@yvonnebailey9973]

Hi Richard, good to see you out again. Lunch looked great. Please don't overdo things. For us it is relaxing to watch you and hear your voice. Always enjoy. Take good care of yourself.

[@RichardOutdoors]

Thanks Yvonne!

[@michaelhamer1277]

its a great idea..just make a brew...cheers richard..not released my 1st you ube vid yet...but simple sounds good ..thanks

[@CuriousGoose]

I've literally just finished eating and you've made me hungry again. I was worried for a second when you mentioned work life balance, I thought you were going to quit KZbin. I need to remember to keep things simple, I don't always have time for a proper camp.

[@georgeshort4112]

Another good vid Sir. Thank you again. Charcoal is energy. The food wasn’t burnt. Ha.

[@gavinlait8841]

Put yourself first enjoying the outdoors is priority.. Don't chase the views and subs they will come.Always a enjoyable relaxing watch .Thanks

[@shaunstevens5179]

Great video Richard, i always enjoy watching your channel as you bring a nice sense of peace and serenity. Keep up the great work mate, and more importantly......definately 'Keep it simple'........all the best from sunny Cornwall.

[@rogerbond7811]

Know about flint in the Chilterns living close to junction 3 of the M40. A popular building material in the past. Thanks for the channel.

[@aynsleycooper365]

Richard, hello! Lovely to see you with a simple and encouraging upload. Thanks. Hope life's not giving you more choices than you need at the moment and good luck to you and yours. J&A&B&T

[@Thedagda801]

Excellent! Always go with the flow, there is a time for high intensity and a time for simplicity. All is valid equally.

[@evangelistcryinginthewilde6380]

Great little video. Absolutely right...keep it simple and just get out there.👏

[@tonywoollcombe1799]

Always enjoy your videos… you’re a very personal chap…. And I enjoy your company.

[@ivorphillips350]

Keep doing what your doing 👍 the way you’re doing it Richard. Your not in a competition with other channels, your enthusiasm and obvious enjoyment coupled with tongue in cheek humour keeps what you’re doing fresh and entertaining 😂.

[@melclarke4186]

Hello Richard, Really enjoyed the video, thanks. I agree, a steady walk with a relaxing lunch break is great. Good to see you like your halloumi crispy 🤣 Take care.

[@johnemmett1097]

Hope you're a better pilot than you are a cook!😳🤣🍻 Glad you're keeping the channel going Richard.👍

[@melaniemorgan6150]

Hi Richard, hubbie and I really enjoy watching your videos. Keeping it simple is the way to go and often a more enjoyable time. We're lucky to live on Dartmoor and often a stove and a brew kit to have a break whilst walking is the best. Sitting, watching and listening can be so rewarding. Question... within the boundaries of Persec, are you ex Herc Air Crew?

[@cruachan1191]

Mmmmm, halloumi! I know what you mean about just needing to get out, I've been training for a 10K (now done) and because of that have been in the gym rather than out and about, and having finished that it was great to get back to just a simple 10K walk from my house out and around my local park which is a country park in pine woodland.

[@Rogar0]

Great to see you again Richard, cuppa Rosie Lee or what ever! Enjoy as much as I am! I could smell the Bacon from here! 👍👣😎🙃

[@neilbland1701]

Fabulous to see you back in your element again. I don't blame ya for bolstering your work life balance and am over the moon you are continuing with Yt. Have you got any collaborations with Simon and Andy planned or would like to do, ask them, sure they'd love your company.

[@kevinmcauley5218]

Another Great video Richard. Sometimes simple is best but regardless of content etc I enjoy following your journey and thank you for sharing it. You are so right about the work-life balance and I think COVID taught us a lot about the important things in life. I love this time of year and even winter getting out and walking through the woods, admittingly I don't make a brew when out but take one with me, find a log and have a wee seat and enjoy what we have watching my Lab and Collie sniff through the undergrowth. Love how you just sit down and have a blether with us. Take care.

[@jock308]

Do what you enjoy doing, Your enjoyment will show through in the video. A cup of tea in the woods is fine (take tea bags). Cheers

[@MHarenArt]

Great to see you out again, and enjoyed hearing about what your plans are for the future. I'm sure you'll do well and enjoy! I truly enjoy the simple videos too. I am on my own, and spend a LOT of time alone, so it feels kind of like I'm sharing some time with a friend, just listening and enjoying the outdoors with you. There are only 3 - 4 that I really enjoy doing that with. Simon, Andy, you of course, Maxim and Xander and Jon at Lost Lakes. How nice is that to have a friend who can allow you to come and get all the flint you want! I never heard of Haloumi until I saw Simon cooking some a while back. I had not been able to find any where I can shop, but then I was in an Aldi and they have a box full of it! I love It! I like to marinate it in cubes, fry it up kind o dark brown and se like croutons in a salad! But your bacon/Haloumi Sandwich is going to be next on my menu!

[@RichardOutdoors]

Thanks Maggie!

[@jacquelinesherlock2274]

We just like to see you Richard, it doesn't matter what you're doing we watch you for your character 🙂 In this age where we are watched to within an inch, and where we are only shown content for thing we watch regularly, including adverts for things we have already bought! (Advertisers need to start to realise there is no sense in that). I had to come looking for you because I haven't received a notification for you in such a long time. I'm getting a bit sick of it. Happy to have found I've missed a few from you to catch up on. Don't feel pressured to provide for us and don't allow the way KZbin controls things to pressurise you either 😲

[@TonyTony-zd6is]

Like the nice mini adventure, like you say you don't have to do the big stuff every time. If it ever stops raining in Devon I'll be doing the same thing. Take care Tony in Brixham

[@Uploaderization]

i really liked this video, calm and relaxed. I honestly think that the content doesn't matter that much, we in the audience come for the personalities of our favourite youtubers. I have seen many channels that have advanced and "good" content, but i have not had any interest in them because the hosts hasn't been my cup of tea. We like to spend some time with you, if you go on a grand adventure or make a review of some kit doesn't really matter. Be yourself and enjoy making videos, don't overthink it, and it will all be good. Thanks man, take care! 👍🏻👍🏻

[@danielleclark6700]

I really enjoy your videos whether it’s a simple cup of tea or a camping trip! Thank you for taking the time to make the videos! I can’t wait for the next one!

[@smiffy5467]

That’s the thing with life, it gets in the way of leisure a lot of the time… This video was great and very enjoyable as that’s exactly what me and the dogs do when we get a chance. No stress is the key. 👍🇬🇧

[@simonthompson2350]

SBP also do a simmer ring for that little stove, meaning you can use it for more than boiling water.

[@nelsonminingandabandonedplaces]

Wonderful video, i enjoy what you do and how you do it dont change it always great to see you. Thats how i do my videos, just show people what i am doing and hope they enjoy it, but i get out and reset myself for the upcoming week. Even doing things in my backyard at my fire pit helps. Cheers

Great message there. I sometimes get caught up with the busyness of life and overthink about my channel and what to do next and forget about the soothing effects of making a brew outdoors 👍

Hi Richard. Nice tattoo. So you finished the Ironman? Great! May I ask which backpack you’re using? I’m looking for a backpack (50-60L) with an integrated seat. The ones I found are often too small in capacity...

Excellent . We're persuaded that BIG is better and forget that big things are made from lots of little, simple things - like those big aircraft you fly - start with simple and go back there often. I've been doing the same lately. Just going out locally, brewing a cuppa and enjoying the landscape, the solitude and the head space. The Best Medicine.

welcome back fella! enjoyed that and bacon halloumi and avocado will be on my shopping list tomorrow! .. Re the videos, I think most of us watch for ASMR, chilled out. interesting easy going stuff. Just watching someone boil a brew in the woods is relaxing. or cooking. or just chatting. So imo don't feel the need to scale a mountain. Just do what you enjoy! Thanks for sharing matey. Hot tent season is approaching! 😎

[@RichardOutdoors]

Appreciate it Micky.

[@lawrencemartin1113]

These more simple films are wonderful. I often just escape into the garden if pushed for time, and spark up one of my various stoves, just to brew up a cuppa or cook some breakfast and enjoy being outside. Many of my day trips are really very simple and are all the more enjoyable for that very reason. Never feel the pressure to produce some wizzy hi energy film. We love the simple things in life where you just go and chill. I love your comment about being able to share these sort of trips with folk who, for whatever reasons, just may not be able to get out, but can still pick up a little of the calm from sharing your day. It is a form of therapy for all and not to be underestimated. Long comment I know, but as a huge aviation fan, a CI with RAF cadets and who has been so lucky to fly often with the RAF, I feel your conflict! But, you are taking on the role elsewhere with the new flying club post, so you continue to give to those starting out in aviation; Well done you!! Thanks for another lovely film Richard and for sharing your thoughts.

[@RichardOutdoors]

Many thanks, Lawrence , for the kind words!

Richard I am reading between the lines here.. Your health and family come first. We all are being stressed and pushed harder with technology It is so not healthy for any of us. You are going to get keyboard warriors who will rip you a new buthole for putting out a sub standard video.. What I mean it is one slightly below your high standard datum line. I watch your channel because it's interesting and a slow pace. No flashing lights fancy acrobatic drone shots and no obnoxious noise (music) Be your honest eccentric self. Be proud to be yourself.

[@RichardOutdoors]

As. Thanks Alan.

[@nealbe]

Hi Richard, I have see quite a few of your videos now and I just like seeing your face and hearing your voice mate. Yes it's nice if you can find the time for some more time consuming vids every now and then. For me you chatting and seeing how cunfortuble you are in front of the camera gose along way, as well as you kindly sharing details of your life with us all. I think at first people watch for content but after a bit realy, they just want to watch and know more about you. Lovely, honest, easy watch video thanks for sharing Richard 👍

[@oldbloke204]

I watch a few 4wd channels over here in Aust. and it seems that many just keep trying to spend more and break more stuff to outdo the other channels doing the same things. I have basically stopped watching them as it just seems like a waste to me and now I just watch a couple that are very down to earth and doing what the "average" person might go out and do. The channels are a bit like yours, Kent Survival and Simons channels really in terms of the way they do things. Everyone is different but I really enjoy the stuff you do and even the bits of insights into the areas you visit and maybe a bit of the history is always nice to hear/see. It will be nice to see a few more videos if you have the time and desire to do them. Cheers.

[@johnbiddal5951]

From a personal point of view, a video of a simple, relaxed trip to the woods on a fine day, is good to see, even if you then confess to the keel hauling offence of forgetting the Tea Bags!! I find such videos far more watchable than the increasingly common Gucci kit promoting, cooking demo, log cabin building exploits of many You Tube 'Bush Crafters'...Simple is good, there are plenty of hyper action, shiney kit videos for those that need them. 👍
