[@wired_0402]

A (not so secret) secret… love the vids and I’m always learning, so here’s one back at ya! Remember Avon? Grab a bottle of their Skin So Soft moisturiser if you get half a chance and say goodbye to those midges, mozzies, ticks and bugs (we have our fair share up in the Highlands and in the forestry)! It’s just a simple moisturiser (unlike Deet or Jungle Formula etc.), it’s good for the skin and works a treat. Cheap, non-toxic, 100% safe alternative to bug-spray that just works (plus your skin will thank you)!

Those mashed potatoes look delicious with that gravy! I'm gonna have to make that next time I go camping! No hate on cooking the beans in it's can. Great video guys!

[@craiglake6091]

What a great time with you and Craig. I'm glad the weather cooperated. Cheers.

[@gordonloree5341]

👍👍👍 Nothing better than good friends wild camping !!!!!!

[@gailknowles3804]

I just ate but got hungry again watching you with that meal. I want to know what is wrong with heating beans in a can. Plain food but nothing better. What I like the most is that you didn't have to spend time chopping and mixing. Just plain ole goodness. Just so you know, it has become a custom at my house, after watching your videos, to lightly toss your plate so that the fork makes a noise after you have a meal. Certain phrases have also become common here. Phrases such as "Just the ole job" and "That went down well" can be heard quite often around here. Needless to say, you have made quite an impression on my household. Thanks for all you do!!!

[@Dazzzzzzzzzzzzz]

I think it’s something to do with chemicals in the metal that can contaminate the beans. Ive done it for 25 years and not had issues

[@simonablokeinthewoods]

Haha - I love that! Thank you 😁

[@531c]

Two thoroughly decent blokes enjoying a great wild camp, what could be better? Youre both experts in this field, oops Dad pun there. This is good for my mental health just watching both of you,either of you, individually or not. Thanks for sharing 👍

[@sizoromero2269]

Cooked in the can is how we used to heat our baked beans and bangers n beans on our campfires and bonfires as kids during the 70"s. Reassuring to see the technique is still alive and kicking 👌 Well done fellas!

[@adrianhudson1116]

I'm off to the woods on Friday, can't wait. How many people find the more times you go away the better you get at it. Taking the right things, not wasting things you take etc. I'm not in Simon or Craig's league yet though. Happy days to all

Glad to see ya back out in the woods Beans cooked in a can, I can't believe that's a big deal. I just turned 70 and when camping, I thought cooking in the can I'd what was supposed to happen. And you know there are some that makes a big deal out of using a wooden spoon, survived that too. LOL Great video, nice camp, nice weather, a friend to enjoy it with. Don't get much better. God bless and stay safe on your travels.

[@KathyBeatty-yu3eo]

I've watched this many times & just noticed Simon has a knife & a fork ! hahaha !

[@liammalarky3483]

Another great video, thank you. I still warm up tinned food (already cooked) near the fire. Back in the day we'd make a bain marie with our mess tins. I like fried sausages but I LOVE boiled sausages. I boil them and the onions in a pot then add the gravy granules at the end. It's about 630am watching this and I'm now ravenous!!!Thanks again.

Hi Simon I'm Tom from Scotland, Sharon and I have watched your videos for years. You have helped both of us through very hard times, gave us inspiration to get up and go after very difficult circumstances. We think your videos are A1 honestly, everything you do from kayaking cooking tent's equipment is very well explained. I know you had a wee break for your own reasons but please don't give up as your actually no1 at this game. All the rest are trying to follow in your footsteps but unfortunately they are not you So plz if you can and able to get out there and show the world how it should be done lol give us some more of your talent to inspire people who need it Regards Tom

[@kloppsa951]

Hello Simon, good video as always. I wondered if you could do a video on how you deal with ticks or rather how you prevent them from biting you as I respect your opinion. I love the outdoors but have built up a rather unhealthy fear of the little buggers. All the best from a fellow east anglian

[@simonablokeinthewoods]

Thank you! I don’t use anything to prevent them, but I check myself thoroughly when I get home and remove them or daily if on longer trips 👍

[@kloppsa951]

​@simonablokeinthewoods okay thank you for the reply. As far as I know I've only been bitten once but i contracted lyme disease and now i really struggle to not think about them!

[@johnmichaels4330]

I know it's poison, but here in the states since the bio-weapons idiots released the Texas ticks all over with lymes disease, and they cover half the country now.... I use Sawyers or repell permethrin sprays. I'd rather detox the poison than get lymes disease. Here in Texas I just treat my clothing and bags, but if I'm on the east coast I treat everything and my skin. We really screwed ourselves when those idiot scientists let the contaminated ticks out into the general population.

[@MHarenArt]

This was more like it Simon in the forest the proper campfire. It's nearly 10:00 PM here and I'm tempted to go out to the kitchen to make sausages and mashed potatoes. Yours looks so good. But I guess I'll wait till tomorrow for dinner. Thanks for sharing stay safe and healthy. EDIT: I was still wanting your food when I woke up next morning, so I just finished off a sausage, two rashers of bacon, two fried eggs, and some beans with a piece of naan. Oh Boy. That's what I call breakfast!!!

[@Lightandlovetoyou]

At the 7:00 🕖 mark we see Simon absolutely loving it and having to hold back his joy watching his new good mate Craig do his thing on camera with the guava . So so cool haha I was smiling along n watched it a few times I love your episodes ! Both of ya So good and just a big Thank you 🙏🏼 for all the work you do . Thank you lads

Hey Simon: I remember way back when you said you had stomach issues. Well sure don’t show it based on that delicious gravy and dish you prepared. 😊 I would be up all night after that one.

[@alexday5892]

Sat here with you from my bed here in Sydney. Wish I could light a fire but they are banned due to the heatwave we are due to have. Really miss making a good campfire. Nothing like the satisfaction of getting a fire going from the smallest spark onto some silver birch bark and feeding with kindling. Made myself laugh when I started forming a windbreak around your fire with my hand. Great vid guys and who knows, maybe one day I’ll go camping in the outback and have a fire. Might even film it to prove I can build a fire. Cheers
