You and Andy make a fine team! I wish you had more time to get out together these days! I watched each of your videos. You captured the best bits and dialog. Andy running back with a camera brought the reality of KZbin camp videos 'home!'

This will make you laugh. I was watching this video and my 9yo daughter came in to watch it with me. She asked me if I was watching Simon a Bloke in the woods and I said yes. She then asked me pointing at Andy ‘is that Simon’s dad’. I laughed out loud. Maybe don’t tell Andy…😂😂😂

I envy the both of you, Simon and Andy. As an old geezer (82 yrs) here in the US, all of my camping partners have passed or not able to camp anymore. I would love to camp with the two of you sometime, but that is not possible. Enjoy your life and make all the memories you can. Some day it will end and you will have to reflect back on those memories. Cheers from the US.

@@simonablokeinthewoods If/when you do, you should get some of your beer supplies from Aberystwyth - there's a really nice pub that also sells various bottled and canned beers called Bottle and Barrel. They have a pretty large fridge of various ales, and they sell some quite nice lagers - Geipel Bock is a pretty tasty 6.5% dark lager. They also sell some nice mead, and various Welsh distilled spirits.

I would watch you two camp anywhere! This looks like it was a wonderful adventure! I worried you two might go "Dukes of Hazzard" on a couple of those challenging obstacles, but was delighted to see that everything turned out well. Thank you both so much for taking the time to make such wonderful content! It inspires me to get out there. It's been a hard, depressing beginning to the year in our neck of the woods, but things are starting to take a turn for the better. So you two are just want the Doctor ordered! Hope you both and your families are doing well! Take care and be safe out there. So much looking forward to your next excursion! 👍👍❤❤😊😊

Just follow the little stream and you would have seen it. Ah well, maybe next time. Handy for winter camp out. Top content. Keep it up

I bet Andy was glad you brought ya ladder 😜 Awesome hatch installation for the roof tent 👏🏻 Let’s Off road ! I always love a Fast Show reference ❤️ I notice you go for the Beavertown beers. I know my Spurs stadium has this on tap as Beavertown is a Tottenham based brewer. Just wondered if you knew that ? As always, your cinematography skills are outstanding.

Each one is exceptional and your hard work and attention to detail shows though. I greatly appreciate your commitment to your viewers like myself. It's extraordinary. Not only is your content entertaining but I is also inspiring. I started my own channel and have learned a lot from you. Aging, thank you so much for all the hard work that you do. This trip looked amazing! You're right though, they don't make them like they used too! Best wishes my friend and God bless.
