A man after my own heart! I love cooking and cannot imagine not doing so camping! I went camping every Fall here in Maine with my old German friend, Hans. He loved cutting firewood. I loved cooking. We had a canoe, beer, wine, my shotgun and my South African iron pot. We'd spend ten days out in the woods camping with my tent, and Hans' old Landcruiser.

I’ve only recently learnt the joys of wild camping and seeing a video like this warms me and makes me a little emotional, the simplest things can be the best and seeing how happy you and your dog are enjoying the simple things in life makes me feel a restlessness that will only be settled once I too am sat out in the woods, messing around like we’re meant to.

@@irvsstella I’ve been working for a year in a kitchen as I save for my drivers, while the confining factors and money have been limiting, I’ve learnt a lot and met some nice people but my true goal, of going somewhere truly wild is on the horizon, however I will not neglect the opportunity to be in the local woods again.

After you’ve flattened the raw naan put some chopped up coriander and garlic on the board, press the raw nann on to it and cook as normal. Also make sure that the oil seeps out of the curry. As a food, especially curry loving, Bell prospector, and old sailing boat owner I think your movies and the outdoor life you promote is ace. Thank you for doing what you do.

Simon, that meal looked absolutely delicious, every part, knowing that this was prepared at home, beef cut, spices collected and put together, carried to the woods, a gentle wood fire and carefully cooked over that fire. SHEESH, MAN, you even shared the Naan with your precious Maggie. The way you prepare the ground foundation for the fire demonstrated your care for the forest too. This meal, complicated beyond any meal I’ve ever cooked, much less on a fire, for breakfast, shows your cooking skills and your commitment to great, yummy chow. When you smiled into the camera and said, “See you soon”…I actually felt that you would. Thank you for your commitment, dedication and strong work…from a friend, retired in the US, in the foothills of the east Tennessee Smoky Mountains.

Love the Channel Simon and nice to see Maggie . Rarely can I add as there is so much to learn from you, and in such a calm, pleasant and inclusive way …. But I f you use some salt with the garlic and ginger and smoosh the ginger, salt and garlic in a flat surface with your knife (the blade edge) it makes a paste really easily. I think your production quality is superb too, really convivial watching but imparting so much information with nice intros and cuts and visuals and sound track . Glad you have another post out !

I generally watch it on a large 55 inch screen and there’s not a way to make comments but I really do enjoy your especially like the ones changing your Land Rover and build it up to make a really nice camping system out of it you’re a great guy and I really do appreciate your videos and keep up the good work my friend touch base with me anytime. My son and I went through boy Scouts of America for many years he ended up becoming an Eagle Scout and we’ve been out in the woods camping everywhere for the last 20 years so we identify readily with the things you run into and find it very entertaining.
