hello Simon! Due to my illness I can hardly leave the house! You probably won't read this message! But I want to say a big thank you for your videos! I'm Portuguese, 44 years old, a widower with 3 children and I'm on daily dialysis because I'm waiting for a kidney transplant! With your videos I can travel! I can smell nature! With your videos I can hope that tomorrow will be better! THANK YOU SIMON

[@Lightandlovetoyou]

Sending you so much light love abundance and healing!! Angels be with you

[@affableguacamole3226]

Simon is that bloke you meet on holiday when you don't want to socialise with others but becomes a life-long friend. Love your videos and adventures. Happy New year

[@simonablokeinthewoods]

Thank you mate! 😁

[@kevinwilliams4899]

If it wasn't for you and Andy I would'nt get any fresh air at all. Happy new year.

[@Aby7799]

I'm going through a rough patch, was diagnosed with ADHD at 41, was quite overwhelming as a father and a sole bread earner to grasp this and the unpredictable work and personal life ahead, grabbing on to the bits, and Simon you give me hope, to persevere and overcome, God bless you.

[@RFBennett]

Happy belated new year, Simon. May yours be filled with laughter, adventure, sausages, abundant beer and joy! Thank you for taking me to the woods again...

[@rw3035]

..and the same to all the ‘blokers’ on this channel!!

[@simonablokeinthewoods]

Haha - thank you! 😁

[@ReconRat3]

Happy New Year, and keep getting better! My best to Mrs Woods as well! This was a nice relaxed outing, and I hope to do the same thing soon, same tent even! Hard to find Black Pudding here, but some of our British or Irish restaurants do serve it. Love it with baked beans and eggs! Hope this is a good year for you all, and the woods await!

[@oldbloke204]

Strange watching you guys camping without a sealed up tent inner. Here in Australia you would likely end up spending the evening with critters that can kill you by looking sideways at you. Good to see you back out and about and glad that you're feeling a bit better. Nearly all our family and friends have had that same thing recently. Thanks for the video.

[@ralphp3057]

I hear that ! It’s same way in Florida! Way too many critters like coral snakes in my neck of the woods!!! 😬 But , we still go camping ⛺️! 😁

[@warren6899]

From South Africa you and me both, you might have BIGGER mosquitoes 🦟 than us, but we got the maleria carring ones...

[@clairewyndham1971]

Thats why at 68, and traveled the world, I've never volunteered for Australia! I want to go for a month or so, but I'm sure I'd get bit, stung to death. We are always given safety talks before we go, but never do they rate the wildlife deadlier than human population! Except Australia..😆😁😄

[@stuartbrierley3381]

Critters?

[@clairewyndham1971]

@@stuartbrierley3381 - You don't get critters sometimes? Like raccoons, or rabbits? Those are critters..Deer wandering around your camp are also considered a "critter", but Bear tearing thru looking for food are not "critters". Camp wisely!

[@gene_takavic57]

When I saw the title "Overnight Forest Camp in a Hot Tent" and then saw you walking with your pack, I never expected for you to have a stove in your pack. Great camp!

[@simonablokeinthewoods]

It’s amazing how small it packs - makes hot tent camps a very real possibility on backpacking trips 😁🔥👍

Happy New Year, Simon. Wishing you and your family the very best in 2023. Sending special best wishes to Mrs. In The Woods as she recovers from illness. I hope that she is feeling much better now.

[@daved3494]

Fascinating to watch, as usual. Interesting to watch the de-camping process. I rarely leave my sofa but I know how to light a fire, pitch a tent (multiple sorts), gather (and split) wood, cook a steak (well, almost), make breakfast and, principally, I know how to open a can of beer - or two. Love your videos. Thank you.

[@MHarenArt]

Happy New Year Simon!! Your meal looked wonderful. You, Andy and a few others prove that camp food doesn't have to be a can of beans a some bread. which is great if that's what one wants! But really it 's all about how much effort one wants to put into a meal. Thanks for sharing your overnight adventure with us!! Can't wait to see your canoe trip in a couple of weeks! I love those adventures! Stay safe, warm and healthy!

[@simonablokeinthewoods]

I do love my food and if I can, I’ll always try to take fresh ingredients with me and take time to make something tasty - not always possible mind. 😁

[@jonathanmarkbotterell1926]

....we all need our space sometimes. These breaks of yours and Andy are pure entertainment for us. Long may it continue. Andy's got all the 'toys' though. 😁

[@jacquelinesherlock2274]

Glad you're on the mend, and I hope your wife starts to feel better soon! One Christmas several years ago, when my children were very young, I had a terrible dose of the flu. All I could do was like down as still as possible. Christmas basically ground to a halt that year because I was the kingpin that made everything happen. I felt so sorry for my boys that year!

[@simonablokeinthewoods]

Thank you! Sounds like that was a very rough Christmas!

[@jacquelinesherlock2274]

Happy new year, Simon! We are all looking forward to this year's trips. I've drawn great inspiration and encouragement from your adventures and easy-going philosophy. Also, perhaps you could offer some sage advice regarding marital relationships. To wit: How on God's green earth do you get to go on so many trips away from home, hearth, and spouse??
