Totally agree, the blokes a complete legend.

[@dianejacklin4338]

Thank you for sharing. My gosh that steak looked delicious. Sorry that you got stung by the wasps perhaps they smelled the honey.

[@christianboutell7112]

Simon you are the salt of the earth, by far the most chilled wild camper on KZbin.

[@justinkremer7371]

Simon, a zombie killing bloke in the woods! 😅 Thanks for all the videos over the years. You were greatly missed while you were gone earlier this year. I watch a video or two most days and they truly lift me up. Thank you much, you mean more to us than you could know. ♥

[@tracker5849]

Came here to say Simon zombie ready 😁

[@billburr5881]

Vampires surely? Not zombies! Or maybe Alien, vampire Zombies?

[@Fimbulmyrk]

My saying exactly!❤

[@Spinialtapp]

Thank God your back! We hope you and your family are all in good health, and we have missed you. It's been along time . Your videos inspire us and really we enjoy them. GOD bless you my friend

I know you had to cut back on time spent with YT this year, so I just wanted to say thank you for the content you do create. This was a great video and much appreciated.

Welcome back, Simon! We missed you a lot!

I'm loving that, this week, all of Andy's friends have videos featuring his sauces!! 😁

Good day. Simon. I've missed you and your videos. "Mr Chippy". Your the best all round carpenter and joiner bloke that I know. I just don't know how you find the time to do all the work and making films, just for us blokes in the woods?. 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. Thank you ever so much for all your hard work that you do in bringing us so much pleasure..

[@lonewolfwarrior69]

Simon, thank you for keeping it so real without any commercialism, merchandising, etc. You're a top bloke, down to earth, believable, a real pleasure to be in the virtual company of. 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. 👍

[@mbrider56]

Love that Simon, simple honest bush crafting at its best….

[@pitchforkcustom]

watching a man who knows exactly what he’s doing is great to watch 👍👍👍❤

[@risireynolds6881]

I am very happy to see you back.

[@Anita-rq9ev]

Yes, finally a new video 👍. This is going to be a treat. You always cheer me up and put a smile on my face, because it's so much fun to watch your videos. Such an antidote to the turmoil we live in. Thank you Simon 😊

[@northampton_lad]

Thank you Simon. This felt like a classic 'Simon in the Woods' video. It feels like it's been a long time. Really enjoyed this one. Thank you.

[@mnmikeoutdoors8595]

Totally agree. It was “Just the old job!”

[@CynCopeland-TheAnswerIsMeat]

😂😂 37:10 ... it's good to test yourself, limited kit you bring in with you ... 2 craft beers, rum, gorgeous steak, bottle of Andy's hot sauce ... ❤❤

[@martinfinch3401]

Absolutely fantastic, proper basic overnight camp..... Simon laughs in the face of a frying pan.... love it...top video as always 🥩

[@wachagondoo]

It's really a great thing to see Andy's mates promoting his endeavors... Love all your videos. Proper job.

[@thomasmacias5032]

Wow, absolutely totally flabbergasted. Excited to see Simon the bloke drop a video thank you Simon. We love you here in Northern California.🙏💯🇺🇸🇬🇧🏕️

We love you in SoCal, too! 🌴☀️🌵 Andy has his sauces, how about some “Bloke” shirts or camp cup merchandise? 😎🤙

[@lisamasters5799]

Thank you Simon. So good to see you back, as so many others have shared. I hope you and your family are well.

[@teapotrose2]

Simon, I am so grateful for these videos in these uncertain times. I live in the states and the election is coming and I’m terrified. I used to go to the woods when I was a kid and make stick creations. This video brings back comforting memories. Thank you.

[@PeterHynes]

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!

[@sweetfreedom999]

Not seen you forever, so I'm glad I caught this, and as always, it didn't disappoint. The lesson is don't cook on hazel. Thank you, trust all good with you.👍🔥

[@giantratt5157]

Glad to see your back. Your videos are a great relaxing therapy for me.

[@christianboutell7112]

Me to, the blokes an absolute legend.

[@nibblick29]

Another video by the master ❤

[@DWayNana]

This is what a real bush crafter can do! So entertaining watching you use your survival skills. Love the canopy of leaves overhead. You are “the man of the woods”!👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼🥾🦉🪵🥩With love and a lot of respect from Minnesota USA. 🥰👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼🥰

[@Bookstar125]

Simon, always great to see a new video from you. I watch from the Sonoran desert of Arizona USA. Loved the shot of you through the "spyglass" of the faĺlen tree trunk at 55 -56 seconds. You must be very observant to have spotted that it was, however smaĺl, there at all! I wonder if it is your habit to scout around the area you tramp through for unusual shots. It is refreshing to see a camping show that still features a fine overnight stay with cowboy steak on the hot coals and a comfortable shelter with minimal gear using materials at hand in the woods. I am impressed with the work that you put in constructing a woodland cot for only one night's stay. All the fancy gear is fun, but I love the ingenious bushçrafting more! You must be a very busy man to hold down a job, be a family man, friemd, kèp up with projects for home & family, plan/shoot/edit/post videos for your viewers. I think we shall have to recognize that you are something of a powerhouse no matter how laid-back and affable you are. Over the years, my favorites have been building your beautiful sturdy canoe, your canvas tent sewed & designed from scratch, when you take us exploring over great Britain afoot on multiple- day hikes, canoeing waterways remote and even out onto the Thames, the charity paddle through all the lachs. I feel that I have sèen and experienced the wild heart of Britain. You are every bit an ambassador for your country. Thankyou for taking us along to places I could never have imagined beyond the stereotypical travel destinations. Lucky us.

[@talegunrdav]

Simon, I appreciate your video. I didn’t get out once this year too hectic at work . i’m going to make a conscious effort to get out in the woods and clear my mind. We have an election cycle going on here in the states and I need to get away from the circus. Thanks again.

[@nicholaswilson7880]

Back to the basics, this was a masterful camp Simon. I’m also happy to see that Master Camp Chef even occasionally doesn’t get it exactly right (Hazel). Old Man Woods still has lessons to teach us. Happy to see you back and looking forward to the next camp. Cheers from The US.

[@wastelandwarrior9738]

Yes a new video!! Always so relaxing

[@Hiltok]

Thanks for another beaut video, Simon. No matter where you go or what particular set-up you're using, your videos are joyful and relaxing. (OK, maybe not so relaxing that one time that Andy ended up in the drink! Let's say 'almost always' relaxing.)

What an idyllic spot-loved the end shot-and knowing you had to come back for the camera fills me with admiration for the hard work you put in to having fun!! Lovely-tho I'd have given that steak a couple more minutes hahahaha

SOOO wonderful to another upload!! You know we love you Simon!! Oh yes, a very clever cot arrangement. I always enjoy seeing some bushcraft ideas and techniques! Oh, you are a vegetarian's nightmare! What a gorgeous steak, but I like mine medium rare. Lots of pink in the middle. Your looked so good I had to run out to the freezer to get a steak to cook later today. I was sure the sauce you were excited about was one of Andy's I tried to preorder but they were gone before I could get in. Oh well. I'm not that big on hot sauce anyway, but wanted to support his efforts. Maybe the new tenants will let you camp there once in a while as well. You do no harm and in fact clean it up a little bit. Great comeback video Simon! Thanks for sharing!!
