River Severn Canoe Trip - Day 3. Montford Bridge to Shrewsbury. Simon, a bloke in the woods 2023-06-28 | In this video, I am over on the Welsh/English border to paddle a section of the river Severn with my good friends George, Rachel and of course Andy from Kent Survival. We have three days to paddle from Welshpool to Shrewsbury, wild camping along the way and carrying all we need for the adventure in our canoes.Day three begins with the most stunning early morning river mist - a most positive start to our final day on the river. After a hearty breakfast, we pack up and get back on the water - our camp spot on the narrow beach of an island has been fantastic - better than we could have hoped for and totally unexpected.Our last day takes us along nicely flowing water, lined with trees and teaming with wildlife as we wind our way towards the town of Shrewsbury and the hustle and bustle of civilisation.It has been a wonderful journey along a beautiful river full of surprises and a delightful feast for the eyes whichever direction you look. Thank you George and Rachel for inviting us to join you and thank you for organising and arranging everything - it is always a logistical challenge organising a linear canoe trip, but everything worked like clockwork!I hope you enjoy the video.Thanks for watching.Links OS Explorer Map 216shop.ordnancesurvey.co.uk/map-of-welshpool-montgomeryOS Explorer Map 240shop.ordnancesurvey.co.uk/map-of-oswestryOS Explorer Map 241shop.ordnancesurvey.co.uk/map-of-shrewsburySilverbirch Canoessilverbirchcanoes.comSimon, a bloke in the woods Merchandisesimon-a-bloke-in-the-woods.teemill.com/collection/t-shirtsContact me at:simonablokeinthewoods@gmail.comOr by mail at:Simon, a bloke in the woodsPO Box 384DissNorfolkIP22 9DBUKFacebook - Simon, a bloke in the woodsfacebook.com/Simon-a-bloke-in-the-woods-636523033219227/?ref=br_rsInstagram - simon_a_bloke_in_the_woodsinstagram.com/simon_a_bloke_in_the_woods/?hl=enMusicSwoop - The Mini VandalsDude, where’s my horse - Nat Keefe with the Bowties

We have three days to paddle from Welshpool to Shrewsbury, wild camping along the way and carrying all we need for the adventure in our canoes.Day one sees us scraping and dragging our canoes along the shallow river bed, shooting weirs, clambering through trees caught up in the river following the last floods and paddling stunningly quiet and intimate sections along this less paddled part of the river.Finally stopping for the night in a breezy woodland after eight hours in the boats, we set up camp and enjoy some well earned dinner around the campfire before a good nights rest in our tents and bivvies.Part 2 coming soon.

Angles Way Long Distance Trail. Part 2 - Fritton to Beccles. Solo Wild Camp. Tarp and Hooped Bivvy. Simon, a bloke in the woods 2023-05-31 | In this video, I am continuing with my hike along the Angles Way on the Norfolk/Suffolk border. This 93 mile long distance path follows the river Waveney from its mouth in the Norfolk Broads to its source in the Brecks and beyond.It is a trail I have been wanting to walk for a long time and seemed right to take this route back to where I started this walking adventure all those years ago and thus completing the route - almost circumnavigating the county of Norfolk.I have thoroughly enjoyed walking this first section, 34 miles so far along country lanes, past wide open areas of wetland and open water and along side the beautiful river Waveney. This episode covers the walk between Fritton, with its unusual ribbon lake, through the countryside past stately homes and quaint villages and into Oulton Broad where the path takes me back out to the river once more. I was exhausted after a big 18 mile day, so a bit of dinner and an hour or so sat beside the river enjoying the calm views and a rum sun-downer before zipping myself into my bivvy for the night. The morning brings warmer weather and the last few miles into Beccles - an ancient market town dating back to Saxon times and the end of this leg for the time being. Ill be back to continue the walk later in the year.

Simon, a bloke in the woods 2023-05-24 | In this video, I am back on the trail again - this time, heading away from the coast along the Angles Way on the Norfolk/Suffolk border. This 93 mile long distance path follows the river Waveney from its mouth in the Norfolk Broads to its source in the Brecks and beyond.It is a trail I have been wanting to walk for a long time and seemed right to take this route back to where I started this walking adventure all those years ago and thus completing the route - almost circumnavigating the county of Norfolk.This stage was very enjoyable, despite the windy and overcast conditions. Passing by the expanse of Breydon Water and the Roman fort at Burgh Castle before looping away from the river along sandy lanes and pretty tracks and eventually arriving at the ribbon like lake at Fritton.A well earned dinner and a couple of boozy hot chocolates before an early night in my bivvy to rest before tomorrows adventure.I hope you enjoy the video.Thanks for watching.Links OS explorer Map 40shop.ordnancesurvey.co.uk/map-of-the-broadsLundhags Gneik 54 rucksacklundhags.com/en/packs-and-bags/gneik-54-rs-81c8281a/?item=1220010-900Snugpak Stratosphere Bivvysnugpak.com/stratosphere-3306Terra Nova Competition 1 tarpterra-nova.co.uk/products/competition-tarpAlton Ultralight Chairaltongoods.com/products/ultralight-chairNorwegian Arctic Field Ration (Real Turmat)realoutdoorfood.com/product-category/real-field-meal/arctic-field-rationsSimon, a bloke in the woods Merchandisesimon-a-bloke-in-the-woods.teemill.com/collection/t-shirtsContact me at:simonablokeinthewoods@gmail.comOr by mail at:Simon, a bloke in the woodsPO Box 384DissNorfolkIP22 9DBUKFacebook - Simon, a bloke in the woodsfacebook.com/Simon-a-bloke-in-the-woods-636523033219227/?ref=br_rsInstagram - simon_a_bloke_in_the_woodsinstagram.com/simon_a_bloke_in_the_woods/?hl=enMusicA Call from the Sea - Walt AdamsStarting over - Walt Adams

Hammock Camp in the Pine Forest with Josh. Dutch Oven Pot Roast. Campfire Full English Breakfast. Simon, a bloke in the woods 2023-05-10 | In this video, I head off to the pine forest with the legend that is Josh for an overnight hammock wild camp. A fantastic evening of food, beer, good company, more beer, lots of laughs, the glow from the campfire and perhaps a couple more beers.Having chosen a good spot to set up, we hang our hammocks and gather firewood for the evening’s camp fire. A delicious pork pot roast (a little later than intended, nothing to do with the beer you understand) fills our bellies before a comfortable night of slumber amongst the whispering pine trees. Morning brings sunshine, a family of roe deer, coffee and an epic full English breakfast courtesy of Josh.

Why I Love Military Ration Packs. Polish Army MRE - Menu 4 (Goulash). A Tasting Review. Simon, a bloke in the woods 2023-04-26 | In this video, I will be taste testing a Polish Army MRE ration pack. From opening and showing the contents to heating and eating it, I give my thoughts on this practical, self contained meal pack.I have always loved a military ration pack, I find them exciting to open and see what’s inside, they are a very convenient food option for trips, they don’t require any special storage conditions, they are highly calorific and they generally have a very long shelf life. And usually, they are surprisingly tasty.I know there quite a few people out there doing ration pack reviews, but I thought some of you might find it interesting to see my take on them - plus it gives me a genuine reason to try different ones from around the world.

Overnight Woodland Camp in the Rain. Spit Roast Trout. Billy Can Baking. Outhaus Canvas Swag. Simon, a bloke in the woods 2023-04-19 | In this video, I am in a new permission woodland for a solo overnight camp in my canvas swag. An evening of good food, a couple of cheeky local ales, a nice fire, the welcoming sounds of the woodland and just a little bit of rain.Having arrived in the woodland in my Land Rover, I just had a short walk to find a nice spot to set up camp next to a fallen tree. The usual tasks of setting up my shelter and organising my kit, then collecting firewood before the rain came in.As the first drops began to patter on my tarp, I set about preparing and cooking a delicious dinner and enjoying the evening, nice and dry beside may fire while the heavens opened.Morning brought the promise of dryer weather and feeling refreshed from a very comfy nights sleep, I make coffee and breakfast before packing away.I really needed this little break beneath the trees.I hope you enjoy the video.Thanks for watching.Links Outhaus Rockhampton Swagouthaus.co/rockhampton-canvas-swag-900TJM Metalworks spit roaster (the bigger one)tjmmetalworks.co.uk/shop/Spit-Roast-p227838615DD Superlight tarpddhammocks.com/product/DD_Superlight_Tarp?from_cat=33Alton ultralight camp chairaltongoods.com/collections/camping-furniture/products/ultralight-chairBeeston Brewerybeestonbrewery.co.ukSimon, a bloke in the woods Merchandisesimon-a-bloke-in-the-woods.teemill.com/collection/t-shirtsContact me at:simonablokeinthewoods@gmail.comOr by mail at:Simon, a bloke in the woodsPO Box 384DissNorfolkIP22 9DBUKFacebook - Simon, a bloke in the woodsfacebook.com/Simon-a-bloke-in-the-woods-636523033219227/?ref=br_rsInstagram - simon_a_bloke_in_the_woodsinstagram.com/simon_a_bloke_in_the_woods/?hl=enMusicTo weather a storm - Dan LebowitzIn the palm of your hand - Lindsey Abraham
Beer Battered Fish and Chips Cooked on the Campfire. Homemade Tartare Sauce. Cast Iron Cooking. Simon, a bloke in the woods 2023-03-29 | In this video, I head off to the woods to do a bit of campfire cooking - traditional English beer battered fish and chips cooked in a dutch oven with homemade (woodsmade) tartare sauce and mushy peas.After gathering firewood, I get a nice fire lit and begin to prepare everything. I am deep frying the fish and chips, so a bit of care is needed with the hot oil to avoid burns and a chip-pan fire! It is always a good idea to have a damp cloth or tea towel at hand to smother the pan if it does catch fire! I had my wool shirt close by just in case.Fish tastes so good battered and deep fried, so it is worth taking the extra steps to make a nice batter - this one has beer in it to create air bubbles for that light and crispy crunch.I hope you enjoy the video.Thanks for watching.Links Petromax FT6 dutch ovenpetromax.com/p/dutch-oven-ft6-ft6-with-legsTJM Metalworks small campfire grilltjmmetalworks.co.uk/shop/Stainless-Steel-Lightweight-Grill-p377767292Adnams beeradnams.co.ukBatter recipe120g plain flour1 tsp baking powder1 tsp saltEnough beer to make a smooth batter with the consistency of double cream.Tartare sauce recipe6 tbsp mayonaise1 gerkin, chopped finely1 tbsp capers, chopped1 tbsp lemon juice1 tbsp chopped dillSimon, a bloke in the woods Merchandisesimon-a-bloke-in-the-woods.teemill.com/collection/t-shirtsContact me at:simonablokeinthewoods@gmail.comOr by mail at:Simon, a bloke in the woodsPO Box 384DissNorfolkIP22 9DBUKFacebook - Simon, a bloke in the woodsfacebook.com/Simon-a-bloke-in-the-woods-636523033219227/?ref=br_rsInstagram - simon_a_bloke_in_the_woodsinstagram.com/simon_a_bloke_in_the_woods/?hl=enMusicPlaying Around. - Birelli SnowCumberland Gap - Nat Keefe with the Bowties

Fiido T1 Pro Utility E-bike. My Long Range Cargo Woodland Assault Vehicle. E-bikeThrottle Removal. Simon, a bloke in the woods 2023-03-06 | In this video, I go through the features and specification of the Fiido T1 Pro utility cargo ebike that I used on my recent Peddars Way trip. I don’t normally do review videos, but I was very impressed with the performance of this long range bike, that I wanted to share my thoughts on it with you.With a very impressive range, a range of gear and speed settings, lots of cool features that let you load it up for bikepacking trips, a huge carrying capacity and a nice stealthy paint finish, I was very excited to put it to the test on a long ride.50 miles up the Peddars Way, off-road, muddy, hilly (in parts) and in Winter seemed like a good test to me, what I wasn’t expecting was the additional 24 miles I managed to squeeze out of the battery on the return journey - very impressive by anybodies standard.Its my new off-road woodland assault vehicle, and its huge amounts of fun! Just to reiterate what I said at the beginning of the video, please check the regulations for the use of ebikes in your country as they vary and often the use of a throttle to allow pure electric drive is not permitted.If you are unsure, you can contact Fiido at service@fiido.com who will aim to reply within 24hrs.I hope you enjoy the video.Thanks for watching.Links Fiido T1 pro cargo ebikefiido.com/fiido-t1-utility-electric-bike.html#032-1Simon, a bloke in the woods Merchandisesimon-a-bloke-in-the-woods.teemill.com/collection/t-shirtsContact me at:simonablokeinthewoods@gmail.comOr by mail at:Simon, a bloke in the woodsPO Box 384DissNorfolkIP22 9DBUKFacebook - Simon, a bloke in the woodsfacebook.com/Simon-a-bloke-in-the-woods-636523033219227/?ref=br_rsInstagram - simon_a_bloke_in_the_woodsinstagram.com/simon_a_bloke_in_the_woods/?hl=enMusicRun Dry River - River Run DryDome Sweet Dome - Nat Keefe with the BowTies
Fully Loaded Winter Off-Road ebike Trip. Fiido T1 Pro Utility Electric Bike. Stealth Camp. Simon, a bloke in the woods 2023-02-22 | In this video, I am heading up the Peddars Way, a 50 mile off-road trail in Norfolk on my ebike. Fiido, who make the bike, claim a very impressive range per battery charge and I wanted to test out that range under heavy use in some challenging conditions during winter and so the idea of this trip was born.Heading off from the Suffolk border, I begin my journey northwards, passing through forests, heathland, wetlands, wide rolling hills and along muddy paths and gravel tracks. I finally arrive at a nice spot to camp for the night, tantalisingly close to the dunes and beaches of the North Norfolk coast, with just a bar of battery remaining.After a well deserved steak dinner, a couple of beers and an evening enjoying a nice fire, its time for bed ready for the final leg to Holme-next-the-sea, but can I make it before the battery runs out?I hope you enjoy the video.Thanks for watching.Links Peddars Way and Norfolk Coast Path guide bookcicerone.co.uk/the-peddars-way-and-norfolk-coast-path-2Fiido T1 pro cargo ebikefiido.com/fiido-t1-utility-electric-bike.html#032-1Honey Stovebackpackinglight.co.uk/bushcraft/RD106.htmlDD Superlight Tarpddhammocks.com/product/DD_Superlight_Tarp?from_cat=33Snugpak Stratosphere Bivvisnugpak.com/stratosphere-3292Simon, a bloke in the woods Merchandisesimon-a-bloke-in-the-woods.teemill.com/collection/t-shirtsContact me at:simonablokeinthewoods@gmail.comOr by mail at:Simon, a bloke in the woodsPO Box 384DissNorfolkIP22 9DBUKFacebook - Simon, a bloke in the woodsfacebook.com/Simon-a-bloke-in-the-woods-636523033219227/?ref=br_rsInstagram - simon_a_bloke_in_the_woodsinstagram.com/simon_a_bloke_in_the_woods/?hl=enMusicSi Señorita - Chris HaugenCats Searching for the Truth - Nat Keefe and Hot Buttered Rum
Overnighter in Dulyn Bothy Mountain Refuge Shelter. North Wales in Winter. Hiking in the Snow.

They are free to use and accommodate several people, offering shelter from the weather in remote mountainous regions. They are basic, but usually have bunks of some description, simple furniture, a place to prepare food and some have a fire place to warm up.

Mountain Camp in Extreme Wind and Snow Storm. Highest Lake in Wales. Broken Tent. Aircraft Wreck. Simon, a bloke in the woods 2023-02-01 | In this video, I head up into the high mountains of the Carneddau Range in Snowdonia for a wild camp next to the highest lake in Wales.After climbing through hail and sleet up to 2800ft, I finally arrive at my camp spot - the small lake of Ffynnon Llyffant, an eerie spot strewn with the wreckage of a huge bomber that crashed here in thew 1950s.After setting up my small tent, I clamber inside to take refuge from the worsening weather - weather that intensifies over night, destroying my tent and threatening to expose me to the snow storm raging outside.I do love a bit of extreme weather - it can bring an adventure to life and the challenges it presents can be hugely uplifting if you are prepared and equipped to face them. The mountains can be dangerous places to be when the weather turns, so always be prepared for the worst, dress sensibly, let others know where you are going and when you expect to return and be prepared to use a map and compass to get you safely off the mountain.I hope you enjoy the video.Thanks for watching.Links Buffalo Mountain Shirtcamouflageoutdoors.com/products/buffalo-men-s-mountain-shirt?variant=40896441811127#&gid=1&pid=1Haix High Liability Bootssurplusandoutdoors.com/haix-cold-wet-weather-all-leather-brown-gore-tex-lined-genuine-issue-high-liability-1389899.htmlLundhags Gneik 54 Packlundhags.com/en/packs-and-bags/multiday-packs/gneik-54-rl-b1464b06Terra Nova Compact 1 tentterra-nova.co.uk/products/laser-compact-1Alpkit BruKit Stovealpkit.com/products/brukitOS Explorer mapshop.ordnancesurvey.co.uk/map-of-snowdon/?gclid=CjwKCAiAleOeBhBdEiwAfgmXfyRf14FuPsJ-Vz-nH4GRANIi1SB8szvmabHIJ_QfK7xeXyd7dop41BoCS6oQAvD_BwESimon, a bloke in the woods Merchandisesimon-a-bloke-in-the-woods.teemill.com/collection/t-shirtsContact me at:simonablokeinthewoods@gmail.comOr by mail at:Simon, a bloke in the woodsPO Box 384DissNorfolkIP22 9DBUKFacebook - Simon, a bloke in the woodsfacebook.com/Simon-a-bloke-in-the-woods-636523033219227/?ref=br_rsInstagram - simon_a_bloke_in_the_woodsinstagram.com/simon_a_bloke_in_the_woods/?hl=enMusicView from a train - Ove MeyersA call from the sea - Walt Adams
A Welsh Adventure - Part One. Land Rover Defender Car Camping. Planning a Weekend in the Hills. Simon, a bloke in the woods 2023-01-25 | In this video, I am heading up to North Wales for a weekend of adventure in the mountains. Night one is spent in my old Land Rover Defender camper conversion - an evening amongst friends while we make a plan for the next couple of days.This trip was not the trip that was originally planned - heavy rain had caused the rivers in the area to flood, and so, we sadly had to cancel the arranged canoe trip - one for another day. But all clouds have a silver lining, as they say - an opportunity for adventure in the mountains presented itself, so to the mountains I head in part 2.

Packrafting and Wild Camping. Solo Overnight Camp by the River. OneTigris Tetra Tent. Simon, a bloke in the woods 2022-11-30 | In this video, I head out on the river in my new packraft for a solo wild camp overnighter. With everything I need packed in a small 35l drybag, I inflate my boat and head off. Battling through thick vegetation growing in the river, I wind my way along this small Norfolk river and finally arrive at my camp spot for the night.I set up my tent - a new lightweight backpacking tent from OneTigris - the TETRA. I have been excited to try out this tent, especially on this trip since I discovered that my packraft paddle works perfectly as the tent pole. Once set up, it’s time for firewood prep and getting the fire lit for dinner and boozy hot chocolates.Apologies for the focus issues through the video, my usual camera is being repaired at the moment, so I had to use an old camera which is a bit on the temperamental side and a GoPro which has strange audio!

My Emergency Box for Power Outages and Power Cuts - Back-up Power, Lighting, Heating and Cooking. Simon, a bloke in the woods 2022-11-23 | In this video, I wanted to share with you my emergency power cut, power outage box. I put this box of back-up kit together out of frustration at the frequency of power cuts we seem to be getting recently and sadly I think its only going to get worse - changing climate causing more extreme weather, forced cuts in supply due to the worsening energy crisis and energy supplies not able to keep up with demand - we need to be prepared. My emergency box contains a number of useful items my family and I might need if the power goes off - stuff to make life without power a bit more comfortable - lighting, heating, cooking, back-up power and some entertainment.Get yourself organised, so you don’t need to fumble around in the dark next time the lights go out!I hope you enjoy the video,Thanks for watching.Links Plano Trunkcadetdirect.com/plano-small-military-storage-trunk-black?Camping Gaz Stovewowcamping.co.uk/productDetail/campingaz-bistro-stove-3/?Poweroak AC50 Power Unitpoweroak.co.uk/en/powerbanks/10068-poweroak-poweroak-ps6s-ac50s-500wh-solar-ac-dc-generator-8719324080521.htmlOlight Obulbolightstore.uk/obulb-mc-orb-night-light.htmlOlight S1r Baton Torcholightstore.uk/s1r-baton-ii-black.htmlTealight Candlesikea.com/gb/enHot Water Bottleamazon.co.uk/Vagabond-Ribbed-Buttermilk-Water-Bottle/dp/B01N3ACYWP/ref=asc_df_B01N3ACYWP/?Simon, a bloke in the woods Merchandisesimon-a-bloke-in-the-woods.teemill.com/collection/t-shirtsContact me at:simonablokeinthewoods@gmail.comOr by mail at:Simon, a bloke in the woodsPO Box 384DissNorfolkIP22 9DBUKFacebook - Simon, a bloke in the woodsfacebook.com/Simon-a-bloke-in-the-woods-636523033219227/?ref=br_rsInstagram - simon_a_bloke_in_the_woodsinstagram.com/simon_a_bloke_in_the_woods/?hl=enMusicOlmsted Pond - Jesse GallagherJeramiah’s Song - Dan Lebowitz

After camp is made, its time to collect firewood before cooking dinner - a decadent cheese fondue with wine to wash it down. Needless to say, I slept like a log.Morning brings the thereat of rain, so an early striking of camp before breakfast was in order.

Wilderness Canoe Trip in Norway - Part 6. Exhaustion and Capsize on the Rapids. The Final Two Days. Simon, a bloke in the woods 2022-10-12 | The final leg of our epic journey across the wilds of Sweden and Norway sees us battling on ever downwards towards the massive lake Femunden, the river refusing to give in and make our lives any easier. More long portages, more slippery, stumbling rapids - too shallow to run. Wading out into the river to release the boats as they snag up on the rocks, everything soaked, completely exhausted and eventually, the river gets its prize - Andy overturns and spills into the fast flowing water.These last two days were like a message from the Røa, a reminder of who is boss as it sent us on our way out of the Femundsmarka. And with huge smiles, bags of pride, a good dose of smugness and an enormous sense of achievement, we were dumped out of the river system and into the enormity of a lake that seemed like a sea.I hope you enjoy the video,Thanks for watching.Links Fermundsmarka National Parkhttps://femundsmarkanasjonalpark.no/en/Ally Folding Canoesbergans.com/en/gear/ally-canoe/allround/ally-16-5-greenSealLine Drybagsseallinegear.com/ie/packs-duffels/boundary-dry-pack/boundary-pack.htmlAmok Hammockshttps://amokequipment.euDels Outside Coffeeinstagram.com/dels_outside?igshid=YmMyMTA2M2Y=Fæmund II - The Ferryhttps://www.femund.no/en/Simon, a bloke in the woods Merchandisesimon-a-bloke-in-the-woods.teemill.com/collection/t-shirtsContact me at:simonablokeinthewoods@gmail.comOr by mail at:Simon, a bloke in the woodsPO Box 384DissNorfolkIP22 9DBUKFacebook - Simon, a bloke in the woodsfacebook.com/Simon-a-bloke-in-the-woods-636523033219227/?ref=br_rsInstagram - simon_a_bloke_in_the_woodsinstagram.com/simon_a_bloke_in_the_woods/?hl=enMusicAutumn Sunset - AudionautixThe Colonel - Zachariah Hickman
Wilderness Canoe Trip - Part 5. Femundsmarka, Norway. Running Rapids, Lining and Portaging. Simon, a bloke in the woods 2022-10-05 | In this video, Andy and I continue our journey down the river Røa in the Femundsmarka national park in Norway. This was one of the most physically gruelling days of my life - dragging, lining and carrying the canoes and all our gear for kilometres along stretches of rapid that we could not paddle due to low water levels or just the shear force of the water cascading down the river.The sections that we did paddle seemed short, but were a welcome relief after all the physical effort both in and out of the water. As Andy said, it was like hiking, but with canoes and barrels!Our camp spot that night was a welcome sight and we both hit the hay early after changing into dry clothes and wolfing down some dinner - what a day!

Wilderness Canoe Adventure - Part 4. Descending the River Røa in Norway. White Water Rapids. Simon, a bloke in the woods 2022-09-28 | In this video, part 4 in the series, Andy (Kent Survival) and I cross over the border into Norway and begin our descent of the River Røa.We head off from our last camp spot in Sweden and paddle the last two kilometres to the start of the river in the Fermundsmarka National Reserve. Some rapids we run, others we line the canoes down and some we take the safest option and portage the canoes and gear down - its a remote area, so safety is paramount.Between the river sections and flowing water are calm open lakes, a nice gentle interred before the next excitement and a time to enjoy our surroundings.As evening draws, we look for a good place to set up camp and we find a lovely spot next to a lake where we enjoy the evening with a fire and some well earned dinner.Norway feels very different to the Swedish side of the border - more wild, more rugged and the excitant of the river has changed the tempo of the trip.

Simon, a bloke in the woods 2022-09-21 | In this video, part 3 in the series, Andy (Kent Survival) and continue our adventure in the wilds of Sweden and Norway. We leave our overnight camp spot after fuelling up on blueberry pancakes and bacon and begin the long, rocky portage down to lake Rogen - a big lake that will take us across to Norway.Our paddle starts off well with a gentle headwind as we head along the inlet and towards the main expanse of the lake itself. Once around the headland though, things take a different course and we are faced with a tough paddle into the wind for the rest of the day - hour after long hour.Finally, exhausted, we reach the southern shore and find a place to set up camp for our third night in Sweden. And luck was on our side this time - third time lucky - we find an official camp spot with a fire pit, a rock shelter and firewood. We deserved it this day!I hope you enjoy the video,Thanks for watching.Links Rogen Naturreservatadventuresweden.com/into-the-swedish-wildernessAlly Folding Canoesbergans.com/en/gear/ally-canoe/allround/ally-16-5-greenSealLine Drybagsseallinegear.com/ie/packs-duffels/boundary-dry-pack/boundary-pack.htmlAmok Hammockshttps://amokequipment.euPetromax Cool Baghttps://www.petromax-shop.de/petromax_en/petromax-kuhltasche-22-liter-oliv-1274.htmlHoney Stovebackpackinglight.co.uk/bushcraft/RD103.htmlSimon, a bloke in the woods Merchandisesimon-a-bloke-in-the-woods.teemill.com/collection/t-shirtsContact me at:simonablokeinthewoods@gmail.comOr by mail at:Simon, a bloke in the woodsPO Box 384DissNorfolkIP22 9DBUKFacebook - Simon, a bloke in the woodsfacebook.com/Simon-a-bloke-in-the-woods-636523033219227/?ref=br_rsInstagram - simon_a_bloke_in_the_woodsinstagram.com/simon_a_bloke_in_the_woods/?hl=enMusicIn the Palm of your Hand. - Lindsey AbrahamLast Train to Mars - Dan Lebowitz

We set off from our wild camp spot in the Rogen Naturreservat in Sweden after a hearty breakfast of bacon and eggs and pick our way through the lakes and portages of this stunning corner of Scandinavia.After a full day of paddling and one particularly brutal portage, we arrive at a last obstacle, a shallow stream that we can not paddle - time to get out and man-handle the canoes down. Finally we arrive at our camp spot for the night with enough time to have an explore, pick blueberries and even attempt a little fishing.A filling dinner cooked on our twig stoves and a beer or two and its time for rest - tomorrow is a big day - we cross the mighty lake Rogen.I hope you enjoy the video,Thanks for watching.Links Rogen Naturreservatadventuresweden.com/into-the-swedish-wildernessAlly Folding Canoesbergans.com/en/gear/ally-canoe/allround/ally-16-5-greenSealLine Drybagsseallinegear.com/ie/packs-duffels/boundary-dry-pack/boundary-pack.htmlAmok Hammockshttps://amokequipment.euPetromax Cool Baghttps://www.petromax-shop.de/petromax_en/petromax-kuhltasche-22-liter-oliv-1274.htmlHoney Stovebackpackinglight.co.uk/bushcraft/RD103.htmlSimon, a bloke in the woods Merchandisesimon-a-bloke-in-the-woods.teemill.com/collection/t-shirtsContact me at:simonablokeinthewoods@gmail.comOr by mail at:Simon, a bloke in the woodsPO Box 384DissNorfolkIP22 9DBUKFacebook - Simon, a bloke in the woodsfacebook.com/Simon-a-bloke-in-the-woods-636523033219227/?ref=br_rsInstagram - simon_a_bloke_in_the_woodsinstagram.com/simon_a_bloke_in_the_woods/?hl=enMusicNew Morning - Lindsey AbrahamIn the Palm of your Hand - Lindsey Abraham

Simon, a bloke in the woods 2022-09-07 | In this video, Andy (Kent Survival) and I begin our seven day canoe trip in the wilderness of Sweden and Norway. We set off from Käringsjön in the Rogen Naturreservat in Sweden and head into the labyrinth of small lakes that makes up the northern part of this region, taking with us everything we need for the next week.Our journey takes us from lake to lake, carrying our boats and gear overland as we explore this stunning natural wilderness area.Finally we stop at a suitable camp spot next to one of the larger lakes and set up our camp for the night. A well earned dinner of steak and potatoes, washed down with a couple of very good Norwegian beers, enjoyed to the soundtrack of Loons calling in the distance and we are ready for for our hammocks - a good rest before tomorrows adventure into the unknown.What a deliciously immersive first day.Thank you Peter for all you have done to bring this expedition together, without you, this simply could not have happened!I hope you enjoy the video,Thanks for watching.Links Rogen Naturreservatadventuresweden.com/into-the-swedish-wildernessAlly Folding Canoesbergans.com/en/gear/ally-canoe/allround/ally-16-5-greenSealLine Drybagsseallinegear.com/ie/packs-duffels/boundary-dry-pack/boundary-pack.htmlAmok Hammockshttps://amokequipment.euPetromax Cool Baghttps://www.petromax-shop.de/petromax_en/petromax-kuhltasche-22-liter-oliv-1274.htmlHoney Stovebackpackinglight.co.uk/bushcraft/RD103.htmlSimon, a bloke in the woods Merchandisesimon-a-bloke-in-the-woods.teemill.com/collection/t-shirtsContact me at:simonablokeinthewoods@gmail.comOr by mail at:Simon, a bloke in the woodsPO Box 384DissNorfolkIP22 9DBUKFacebook - Simon, a bloke in the woodsfacebook.com/Simon-a-bloke-in-the-woods-636523033219227/?ref=br_rsInstagram - simon_a_bloke_in_the_woodsinstagram.com/simon_a_bloke_in_the_woods/?hl=enMusicSouthern Sun - Walt AdamsNew Morning - Lindsey Abraham
Grills, Grates and Fire Anchors. What I use for Campfire Cooking. Simon, a bloke in the woods 2022-08-17 | In this video, I will be going through the campfire grills, grates and fire anchors that I use when camping and cooking over an open fire. Although not essential for campfire cooking, a grill does make life easier when cooking meat, fish and vegetables over the fire and for supporting cooking pots and pans. They provided a stable platform on which to cook and they can be adjusted to take advantage of heat control while you are cooking.I have a few grills that I show in this video, although there are many to choose from when looking for one to buy, some good, some less so. Hopefully this video might help to give you some pointers and tips for when choosing a grill for your adventures into the outdoors.I hope you enjoy the video,Thanks for watching.Links Bitty Big Qbittybigq.comTJM Metalworkstjmmetalworks.co.ukCoghlans Small Fire Grillcoghlans.com/outdoor-dining/grilling/pack-grill-8770?returnurl=%2foutdoor-dining%2fgrilling%2fBoundless Voyage Ti Grillamazon.co.uk/iBasingo-Titanium-Charcoal-Roasting-Utensils/dp/B07MS19W6Y/ref=asc_df_B07MS19W6Y/?tag=googshopuk-21&linkCode=df0&hvadid=310517172443&hvpos=&hvnetw=g&hvrand=15707812268153111158&hvpone=&hvptwo=&hvqmt=&hvdev=c&hvdvcmdl=&hvlocint=&hvlocphy=9041117&hvtargid=pla-636143609198&psc=1Mesh Grill Twin Packamazon.co.uk/Expedition-Research-LLC-Combo-2-Pack/dp/B072QZHH25/ref=sr_1_49?crid=13VUEUXPO0LO3&keywords=campfire+grill&qid=1660677458&s=sports&sprefix=campfire+grill%2Csports%2C182&sr=1-49Simon, a bloke in the woods Merchandisesimon-a-bloke-in-the-woods.teemill.com/collection/t-shirtsContact me at:simonablokeinthewoods@gmail.comOr by mail at:Simon, a bloke in the woodsPO Box 384DissNorfolkIP22 9DBUKFacebook - Simon, a bloke in the woodsfacebook.com/Simon-a-bloke-in-the-woods-636523033219227/?ref=br_rsInstagram - simon_a_bloke_in_the_woodsinstagram.com/simon_a_bloke_in_the_woods/?hl=enMusicSugar Grove - River Run DryDude Wheres my Horse - Nat Keefe with the Bowties

Mini Bikepacking Adventure. Hammock Camp in the Pine Forest. Boerewors Sausage. Cast Iron Skillet. Simon, a bloke in the woods 2022-08-03 | In this video, I am off an a little bikepacking mini adventure to the pine forest. With my bike packed with everything I’ll need, I head off along leafy lanes, gravel tracks and sandy paths to find a nice quiet spot to set up my hammock and tarp. Once set up, I settle down to enjoy the evening with a tasty dinner of Boerewors sausage and rice, washed down with a couple of fine beers.I love the pine forest, I’ve said it many times before - I find it a grounding place with hushed sounds and an intimate beauty. For me it was the perfect place to go for a bit of relaxation and to unwind and de-compress.Travelling by bike as I did means I can reach this place more easily - admittedly, I could get there on foot, but by bike I can get there sooner and have more time to enjoy the place. Bike packing is a great way to explore further and still be able to carry all the gear you will need.I hope you enjoy the video,Thanks for watching.Links Sonder Frontier NX Eagle Bikealpkit.com/products/sonder-frontier-nx-eagleAmok Draumr UL Hammockhttps://amokequipment.eu/products/draumr-ultralight-hammockWarbonnet Superfly Tarpwarbonnetoutdoors.com/product/superflyEasthills Outdoors Quilteasthillsoutdoors.com/products/down-puffy-camping-blanket?variant=41553007640743Banham Butchersbanhambutchers.co.ukSimon, a bloke in the woods Merchandisesimon-a-bloke-in-the-woods.teemill.com/collection/t-shirtsContact me at:simonablokeinthewoods@gmail.comOr by mail at:Simon, a bloke in the woodsPO Box 384DissNorfolkIP22 9DBUKFacebook - Simon, a bloke in the woodsfacebook.com/Simon-a-bloke-in-the-woods-636523033219227/?ref=br_rsInstagram - simon_a_bloke_in_the_woodsinstagram.com/simon_a_bloke_in_the_woods/?hl=enMusicSouthern Sun - Walt AdamsIn the Palm of your Hand - Lindsey Abraham

Simon, a bloke in the woods 2022-07-13 | In this video, I am joined by Jason Eke from Trailguide pictures as we head up into the mountains of the Carneddau range in North Wales. We spend the day hiking and scrambling up four peaks, three of them 3000ft Munros and exploring this beautiful range before descending back down and making camp beside a beautiful stream in the valley below.A well earned hearty dinner and a couple of beers and very soon our weary bodies cannot resist a good nights sleep before the long drive back to Norfolk (in a broken Land Rover…)I hope you enjoy the video and please head over to Jason’s channel and give him a sub - his video will be up in due course.Thanks for watching.Links Jason’s Channel (Trailguide Pictures)youtube.com/c/JasonEkeKatadyn BeFree Water Filterkatadyngroup.com/ch/en/8020471~p6734Alpkit Brukit Stovealpkit.com/products/brukitLuxe Hexpeak v4a Tentbackpackinglight.co.uk/shelters-1/WF129-138.htmlMountainhouse Dehydrated mealsmountainhouse.comGwern Gof Uchaf Campsitetryfanwales.co.ukSimon, a bloke in the woods Merchandisesimon-a-bloke-in-the-woods.teemill.com/collection/t-shirtsContact me at:simonablokeinthewoods@gmail.comOr by mail at:Simon, a bloke in the woodsPO Box 384DissNorfolkIP22 9DBUKFacebook - Simon, a bloke in the woodsfacebook.com/Simon-a-bloke-in-the-woods-636523033219227/?ref=br_rsInstagram - simon_a_bloke_in_the_woodsinstagram.com/simon_a_bloke_in_the_woods/?hl=enMusicDust and Ashes - Many Moons AgoWho can say - The 126ers
Roof Tent Camp in Heavy Rain and Wind. North Wales Adventure with Jason Eke. BBQ in the rain.

Travelling up with Jason Eke from Trailguide Pictures in my Land Rover, we finally arrive after a long drive and an annoying breakdown and get things set up for the night - my new (not new) Alu Cab roof tent is my overnight accommodation (massive thank you to Dave and Lucie!) and Jason is in the hammock in the vehicle.Having set things up and creating some comfortable space inside to escape the heavy rain and strong winds, we cook up some dinner - burgers cooked on the fire-pit bbq (in the rain).We spend the evening with a couple of beers and planning our big hike in the mountains for the next day (coming up in the next video!)Morning brings clearing weather and the promise of sunshine for our hike, so we drink coffee, eat a hearty breakfast and pack our bags for the day - its going to be a big epic adventure… Thanks for watching.Links Jason’s YouTube channel (Trailguide Pictures)youtube.com/c/JasonEkeKadai Firebowlskadai.co.ukAlu Cab Roof Top Tentalu-cab.com/product/gen-3-1-expedition-tentGwern Gof Uchaf Campsitetryfanwales.co.ukSimon, a bloke in the woods Merchandisesimon-a-bloke-in-the-woods.teemill.com/collection/t-shirtsContact me at:simonablokeinthewoods@gmail.comOr by mail at:Simon, a bloke in the woodsPO Box 384DissNorfolkIP22 9DBUKFacebook - Simon, a bloke in the woodsfacebook.com/Simon-a-bloke-in-the-woods-636523033219227/?ref=br_rsInstagram - simon_a_bloke_in_the_woodsinstagram.com/simon_a_bloke_in_the_woods/?hl=enMusicBy the riverside - Lyndsey AbrahamIn the palm of your hand - Lyndsey Abraham
First Aid Kit - Medical, Emergency and First Aid Items I Carry on Trips and out in the Woods. Simon, a bloke in the woods 2022-06-29 | In this video, I will be going through the first aid kit items I take out with me on trips, camps, while hiking, while canoeing and while bushcrafting.First aid is one of those often overlooked areas when we are packing for a trip - it is less exciting than the rest of our gear and can often be left out altogether. It only takes the slightest accident, the slightest lapse in concentration or an event that is completely out of our control to ruin a trip or worse - to put a life in danger. Having a well thought out first aid kit could save your life in the worst case scenario or save your trip at the very least.I hope this video gives you some ideas of what to keep in yours - hopefully you’ll never need it, but its always best to be prepared.Thanks for watching.Links Lifesystems Waterproof First Aid Kitlifesystems.co.uk/products/first-aid-kits/waterproof?gclid=Cj0KCQjw2MWVBhCQARIsAIjbwoM349UOjRw0fSRKSFeSgPPm2dBB76NGvChd7BNaKDZKisMldPf7kJkaAkP1EALw_wcBVictorinox Swiss Cardvictorinox.com/uk/en/Products/Swiss-Army-Knives/Swiss-Cards/Swiss-Card-Classic/p/0.7100.TLifesystems Tick Cardlifesystems.co.uk/products/insect-repellents/tick-removal-toolHot Hands Hand Warmershothands.comBurn Gelsteroplast.co.uk/burnshield-burn-blott-sachets.htmlCelox Hemostatic granulessteroplast.co.uk/celox-haemostatic-granules-15g-steroplast.html?gclid=Cj0KCQjw2MWVBhCQARIsAIjbwoOad7MPLxNqyzLSWxVJc4nRZRjVofWXZaUnQCO4ZD-qj-yO1VZc-T4aAnR7EALw_wcBIsraeli Haemorage Trauma Bandagereflexmedical.co.uk/product/trauma-pressure-bandage-israeli-bandageC.A.T Tournequetmedtree.co.uk/cat-combat-application-tourniquet-blackSimon, a bloke in the woods Merchandisesimon-a-bloke-in-the-woods.teemill.comContact me at:simonablokeinthewoods@gmail.comOr by mail at:Simon, a bloke in the woodsPO Box 384DissNorfolkIP22 9DBUKFacebook - Simon, a bloke in the woodsfacebook.com/Simon-a-bloke-in-the-woods-636523033219227/?ref=br_rsInstagram - simon_a_bloke_in_the_woodsinstagram.com/simon_a_bloke_in_the_woods/?hl=enMusicHot Swing - Kevin McLeodSunday Smile - Birelli Snow

Beach Wild Camp with Kent Survival. Big Hike Along the River Thames. Abandoned Forts. Simon, a bloke in the woods 2022-05-25 | In this video, I am down in Kent with Andy (Kent Survival) to explore a stretch of the Thames shore line and camp on a remote beach.Our hike took us past two abandoned forts from the 1860s - Shornemead and Cliffe, built to defend the city of London during a time of unrest with France - one still having an original 1890 built torpedo launcher. After the forts we explored the old cement kilns once used as part of the aggregate works at Cliffe and then on to the massive gunpowder works at Cliffe marshes, long since abandoned and now home to thousands of grazing sheep.Finally, after eight hours of walking, we reached our camp spot for the night - shattered, but feeling good after sixteen miles on the trail.We gather a big pile of driftwood for our fire and settle down to relax and cook up a hearty corned beef stew, washed down with a couple of good ales and an evening of catching up and enjoying the sights and sounds of the marshes.I hope you enjoy the video and thanks for watching!

It’s something a bit different to what I normally do, but I hope you enjoy it.For those of you who haven’t already watched them and are interested, the full adventure is contained within four episodes titled ‘The Great Glen Canoe Trail’ on the channel.I hope you enjoy the video and thanks for watching!

Cast Iron - How I Clean, Season and Store my Cast Iron Pots, Pans, Skillets and Dutch Ovens. Simon, a bloke in the woods 2022-05-11 | In this video I will be showing you how I clean and maintain my cast iron pots, pans, skillets and dutch ovens to keep them in good condition.Cast iron cookware is by far the best for campfire cooking - the heat distribution is even and food is much less likely to burn than with thinner, lighter materials. The seasoning that builds up over time develops a natural non-stick surface and enhances the flavour of your food - just like your Grandmas old frying pan!Cast iron does however require a bit more care to keep it in good condition and to prevent it from rusting or becoming putrid. Hopefully this video will give you some tips on how to keep that dutch oven or skillet looking great forever so you can pass it on to your kids and grandkids.I hope you enjoy the video and thanks for watching!

Cast Iron Campfire Cooking. Braised Leg of Lamb Cooked in a Dutch Oven. Simon, a bloke in the woods 2022-04-13 | In this video, I am out in the woods with my four legged companion Maggie to cook up an Easter feast of braised lamb in red wine. Sat on a grill over the campfire in my cast iron dutch oven, it cooks slowly ensuring the meat is lovely and tender, gently simmering away in a stock of red wine, garlic and rosemary.

Adventure Bike Packing in Suffolk. Three Day Bike Camping Trip with Hippyswift. Part Two. Simon, a bloke in the woods 2022-03-30 | In this video, episode two of my bike packing trip across Suffolk with Luke (Hippyswift), we set off towards the pretty and popular seaside town of Southwold after a good nights sleep in the woods near Halesworth.After a short stop in the town with its picturesque lighthouse, pier, beach huts and beach, we cross the River Blyth and head south along gravel tracks and off road paths towards the village of Dunwich. Dunwich has had a tragic history - once a bustling trade town, it is now just a shadow of former self, much of the town lost to the ever destructive forces of the sea. Heading inland slightly, we pass the Abbey at Leiston and across the estuary once again at Snape and then back to the sea at Orford with its imposing castle.Our day ends near here - a welcome slumber amongst the pine forest - well needed rest before our final journey back to Nacton via Rendlesham forest and Woodbridge.I thoroughly enjoyed this mini tour of the Eastern coastal area of Suffolk - so much history spanning millennia and countryside that takes your breath away at every turn. Thank you Luke for showing me your neck of the woods - inspiring! I hope you enjoy the video and thanks for watching!

Three Day Bike-packing Adventure. Woodland Tarp and Bivvy Wild Camp. Campfire Steak Dinner. Simon, a bloke in the woods 2022-03-23 | In this video, I head across the border to Suffolk, to meet up with Luke (Hippyswift) for a three day wild camping bike-packing adventure - self propelled and self sufficient. Travelling and exploring by bike is great fun - you can cover good distances in relative comfort (despite the hills!) and you can carry a good amount of gear without the aches and pains associated with backpacking.We head off from Nacton on the River Orwell estuary and cycle north, passing the pretty town of Woodbridge and on up to historical Framlingham with its impressive, well preserved castle. After a break and well earned cold pint of beer, we continue to our destination for the night - a small woodland nears the town of Halesworth.A steak and mash dinner, smothered in lashings of Steak Detective Liberation sauce and washed down with a beer or two and it was time to rest our weary heads for the night and dream about the adventures to be faced on day two!Episode two coming shortly.I hope you enjoy the video and thanks for watching!

DIY Rocket Stove. Make a Powerful and Efficient Wood Burning Camp Stove from Recycled Beer Cans. Simon, a bloke in the woods 2022-03-16 | In this video I am back in the shed making the third and final stove in this mini series on DIY wood burning camp stoves. This episode shows the building of a powerful twin walled rocket stove. Using recycled materials, I build the inner chamber, feed port and chimney, then insert it into the outer section, packing the void with fireproof vermiculite. On testing, the stove out-performs all the other stoves I have built - it produces a hot, powerful fire thanks to the chimney effect built in to the design and uses very little fuel to boil water and cook. You can adjust the burn by rotating the stove so that the feed port faces the wind for higher temperature, or point it away from the wind for less power. Although bulkier than the other two stoves in the series, it is still lightweight and highly portable.I am absolutely thrilled with this stove - it will certainly get plenty of use, and all made from items that would otherwise get thrown away - a winner in my book!I hope you enjoy the video and thanks for watching!

Cooking with the Sun using Free Solar Energy. Minestrone Soup. Solar Brother SUNGOOD Oven. Simon, a bloke in the woods 2022-03-09 | In this video I am trying out a Solar Oven for the first time, using the power of the sun to cook a meal without the need for a stove or a fire.I love the idea of using free renewable energy and so I was very excited to try out this ingenious product from the French solar company Solar Brother. Solar Ovens take longer to cook that conventional methods, but by cooking softly and slowly, the valuable nutrients and flavours are not lost. You can set up this oven when you get to camp and leave it to do its thing while you get on with other tasks, knowing that when you are done, a tasty meal awaits. I can see this might be a great option if you live in an area where there are regular fire bans or you are not able to find fuel or if you want to keep a low profile and avoid attention from your fire’s smoke. As an emergency back-up cooking system or simply to take to the beach or on a picnic.I chose challenging conditions to try out my oven - in winter with low sun, cold temperatures and a strong wind blowing across the flat marshes where I was - a tough test for its capabilities, but I was still impressed - next time I'll try in full sun in the middle of summer where I'm sure the results will be even more impressive.I hope you enjoy the video and thanks for watching!

Windy Beach Wild Camp in a Bivvy Bag. World Record Attempt. Colne Point on the Essex Coast. Simon, a bloke in the woods 2022-03-02 | In this video, I am exploring the stunning Colne Point spit on the Essex coast and spending a cold and windy night under the stars in a bivvy bag.The camp is part of a global world record attempt - aiming to get the most number of people sleeping under the stars in a bivvy bag at the same time and I am joining a group of wild camping and outdoor enthusiasts at this beautiful coastal spot.Before meeting up with the others, I take some time to explore the area and walk to the tip of the spit, passing a nature reserve, a nudist beach, abandoned boats, thousands of oysters scattered along the beach and enjoying delightful views across the estuary to Mersea Island, the Blackwater Estuary and Bradwell nuclear power station. Arriving at our camp spot, I meet up with the other campers taking part - a lovely bunch of people who warmly welcomed me into their group. I set up my Bivvy amongst the grasses at the back of the beach and then joined the others as we sat around the fire, cooking, chatting, laughing and sharing an enjoyable evening together before retiring to our thin nylon bunkers - our only defence against the relentless cold wind blowing in off the North Sea.A thoroughly enjoyable camp amongst new friends - thank you guys!I hope you enjoy the video, thanks for watching!Links to YouTube channels of the others taking part.Tom Outdoorsyoutube.com/c/TomOutdoors88The Gr8 Outdoors 2022 (Andrew and Kelly)youtube.com/user/andrewgoodwin1980The Real Travelling Amigos (Luke)youtube.com/c/TheRealTravellingAmigosWandering Monck (Paul)youtube.com/c/WanderingMonckAndys East Coastyoutube.com/c/AndysEastCoastAdventures1st Class Adventures (Mark)youtube.com/c/1stclassadventuresSolomonthesolivagant (Solomon)youtube.com/channel/UCgpBJNCaCcHxF-0G3Fx-gtQProduct LinksRab Accent Bivibackpackinglight.co.uk/tarps-and-bivy-bags/WC104.htmlThe North Face Cats Meow Sleeping Bagthenorthface.co.uk/shop/en-gb/tnf-gb/catis-meow-7°c-sleeping-bag-3g69Thermarest Neoair Xtherm Sleeping Padthermarest.com/ie/sleeping-pads/fast-and-light/neoair-xtherm-sleeping-pad/neoair-xtherm.htmlBCB Military Stovesurplusandoutdoors.com/bcb-fire-dragon-folding-cooker-1241378.htmlThe Steak Detective (pouch meals, jerky and all sorts of jolly splendid 1940s inspired food rations)thesteakdetective.comContact me at:simonablokeinthewoods@gmail.comOr by mail at:Simon, a bloke in the woodsPO Box 384DissNorfolkIP22 9DBUKFacebook - Simon, a bloke in the woodsfacebook.com/Simon-a-bloke-in-the-woods-636523033219227/?ref=br_rsInstagram - simon_a_bloke_in_the_woodsinstagram.com/simon_a_bloke_in_the_woods/?hl=enMusicPerpetual Transit by Walt Adams Freewheeling by Lindsey Abraham
