Watching your videos is like having a small vacation Simon. Top notch 👍. Thank you for taking me along, your work is highly appreciated😊

@@simonablokeinthewoods I forgot the other person you went with, but it's not often that I see someone using kayak paddles as Tent poles. I couldn't see if he had to make a ridge line or not though.

@simonablokeinthewoods which pump are you using for your packet and sleeping mat in this video and where did you buy it? Many thanks.

[@bpcamping2707]

Thanks Simon, of all the outdoor channels, I find yours, original, honest,and simply entertaining. Keep up the hard work filming

So nice to see Simon, a bloke floating! And how wonderful to have a fellow bloke to share the adventure! Loved the curious cows! Thanks for bringing us along...looks like fun! ATB

This is the kind of stuff I pulled off in my youth, on a shoestring. My dad would take us there - wherever 'there' was - and he would pick us up at the end. He's not 'there' any more. I'm making my own way 'there', now. I can still do it because my dad showed me the way.

[@watzeroorda5601]

Really amazed to see that you both managed to transport your bikes on a packraft and not have any ‘pokey-bits’ causing a puncture! Great video! 👍🏻

[@yousweetpotato1]

Yes! What they said! This is so inspiring, Simon! Looks so fun!

[@jimlydle4170]

The way you stripped those bikes down would make James Bond and "Q" proud and the way you stowed your gear in the sides of the hull is magic. Yet again another great video well done.

[@kylewilliams5761]

For someone who doesn't leave the house much, this is a godsend. Beautifully idyllic and some great camera work to boot. !! Thank You..

You an inspirational young man. Your family must be so proud of you ingenuity and your sense of purpose. I hope …I know other young people see what you are doing, and you are Motivating them to get up to take action. Watching as 54 year old father

4th! (Woops, I'm actually 5th. Another great trip! This channel is where I get most of my inspiration, for sure. After watching this trip, I wondered back to the shed and pulled my long-neglected bike out.

[@kingrafa3938]

You're 5th

[@simonablokeinthewoods]

Happy biking! 😁

[@adrianhudson1116]

I've got limited mobility and I use your videos as inspiration. In the last few years I've managed to get away quite often. I haven't gone the whole hog yet. I tend to book myself nights in caravans, but I'm getting better and better at it. I treat it like a camp, Trangia stoves et al. Next year if I can find a truly easy assemble tent I will try to be more adventurous. Its good for the soul and I deeply thank you for all that you do

[@alanrobertson5497]

It's a pleasure everytime I watch a video by Simon. Love watching, thank you.❤❤

I am so stressed today (at work)! I needed this ! Thank you Simon! Always a pleasure to watch you and you have some of the very best friends to hang out with. I always feel like I am just going along with you all! The scenery was just so gorgeous! That lunch looked absolutely amazing! And spending the night on the beach, with those waves and rum, too! Just sounds heavenly to me! Thank you for sharing with us. You always take us on such great adventures. Take care and be safe! Looking forward to your next adventure! 👍👍😊😊🧡🧡

Simon, when I read the title then saw you packing your bike I thought you were mad. Watching you paddle on the river, tend alight and reassemble your bike, repack your kit and pedal up the shore was inspiring! I salute you Simon.

Whoop whoop. This is my evenings entertainment sorted. Thanks Simon.

What a lol trip. Such contrasting landscapes from the narrow sections of river to the wider areas caused by the ‘53 storm surge and then the beach too. Rafting an cycling added for even more variety. Great video!

What a wonderful trip! Humor, warmth and camaraderie in a place where you want to be is the best there is! As a Scandinavian and a Swede, I know very well what "Lapskojs" is (good) and at the fish restaurant there was a sign with "Gravlax", the Swedish name. (sugar-salted salmon is eaten with a special cold mustard sauce, delicious!) I really wanted a kayak like that.😉
