After watching this video, I feel as relaxed as if I were out there with you breathing in the same air, enjoying the same scenery and nature sounds. I now look forward to a brief, but good night of sleep. 👍

God, thank you for letting me stumble over your site, and finding out what you get up to, camping in the woods. You are just so clever and wonderful to watch doing all the thing's that you do.

Simon, I am a great fan of both you and Andy of kent survival - I love watching the videos and the literally down to earth process of making some shelter, prepping the firewood and cooking some camp food - its s formula that is so relaxing and frankly never gets old. I notice that Andy is trying to do something different every week - testing gear, camping in the city etc - and whilst i enjoy his videos - I much prepare to keep things the largely the same - the simple woodland trip with minimalist shelter, dinner and breakfast just never gets old. Please keep it coming and please dont vary the formula too much - if its not broken, dont fix it. - its superb!
