Simon, a bloke in the woods

Well, after a long and extended break from filming and social media, I finally managed to get out and film a camp!
New video up this evening folks - a relaxing little riverside wild camp, keeping it simple with canvas half shelter, woollen sleeping bag, a warm fire and an Australian combat ration pack. I hope you enjoy!
Thank you for the many messages checking in on me during my break - sorry I didn’t get a chance to reply to them all, but I hugely appreciate the love and kindness 🙏🏻

You built a caring community on this channel, Simon. It comes to no surprise that people were concerned of your well being and whereabouts. God bless Simon. You’re everyone’s favorite bloke. 🙏🏼 ⛺️

However y'all entered into my life is a mystery. Got to watching you guys in the UK doing all this bushcraft wild camping stuff that brought back memories. I'm retired now out in the Pacific Northwest and we used to 'Glamp' out to the Ocean in State Parks in our big trailer, but those days went. Seeing this made me want to do camping again. I'm old, so I'll stick to my truck camping, but I did my first solo in a lot of years and had a blast! Well... if you can consider being really tired and the zipper on my brand new truck bed tent came apart...in the dark...holding a flashlight in my teeth! Its getting on Fall here. We could have a late summer but its cooler already. We have a lot of the same talents when it comes to doing our own thing be it sewing kit bags or pouches or just repairing. I am avid woodworker and have been a jack of all trades my entire working life. I guess that's something I know about me that I relate to watching your videos. You and others have inspired me to try my hand at carving too. Although... I cheat! I'm old and I got tools! Anyway, keep at it. We'll keep watching!

I was just wondering about you (and yours) last night, (checked to see if I missed anything on your community section) imagining that you had been out somewhere filming your next vlog and it wouldn’t be long. Hope all is well. Great to see you back, happy spring!

I was just thinking last night that it would sure be nice to see a video from Simon. I miss your camping cooking and all the test of the content you show. So this morning I'm sitting here sipping on a cup of coffee and your video shows up. Thanks for a good start to the day. Think we all miss your dog too!

I have been watching your videos and they are so enthusiastically made and are joy to watch. I am still going through all your videos I enjoyed the Scotland trip absolutely brilliant and when you are with Andy the Kent survivor he is bloody good too. Keep up the great work as it’s made me buy camping gear.
