In this video, I head out to the woods on a crisp New Years morning to make a bit of lunch and reflect on the past year. Using my Honey twig stove, I make some coffee and then prepare lunch - a delicious black pudding and mushroom omelette cooked in a cast iron skillet - food always tastes better when cooked outside with real fire.
This week I reached a massive milestone on the channel - 100.000 subscribers - I am absolutely delighted and blown away! I would like to thank you all for your views, likes, shares, subscriptions and your overall support over the past four years, I cannot tell you how much it means to me!
The growth of the channel has enabled me to do things that I wouldn’t have been able to do otherwise and I appreciate that hugely!
This past year has been a challenge for us all and several planned trips have had to be shelved. Looking forward to 2021, I am sure we will all see things slowly return to something like normality and we can all get back out there and do the things we like to do - for me, this includes some exciting trips and collaborations as well as the usual cooking, camping, canoeing, hiking and making videos that I hope you all enjoy.
I would like to wish you a very Happy New Year from Maggie and I and I hope you enjoy the video.
Thanks for watching!

Your humility and hard work is why your successful. My family and I enjoy each and every video. My 14 year old Son loves camping and is learning so much from your content. As a Father, I appreciate watching good videos without profanity with my family. Thank you for all that you do.

No need to be thanking your subscribers. Your video content is genuinely excellent and it is a wonderful thing to be able to watch it and share in your Love of the outdoors

Simon, I've been watching your vids for a good few months now, I've not seen this one before, but you have still the same humility and compassion, it's truly infectious. I look forward to many more videos I'm sure you'll produce. And BTW, your omelette flipping skills are on par with the best 👌

@josephascroft4774 Год назад

Simon can I just thank you so much, I know I’m a very new subscriber, but I’ve been in hospital a lot over the past few years with diabetes, epilepsy, kidney failure and diabetic retinopathy, and my eyesight is not good now to the point where I have a white stick when getting around busy places, and I love the outdoors and camping and your channel has been a real breath of fresh air to me and encouraged me to get out again making brews over hobo stoves and carving spoons (well attempting to lol) and it is just great, thank you so much again 👍🙏🏻

@PDZ1122 11 месяцев назад

One reason I stopped backpacking in the UK is exactly what you mentioned: you can never really get away from people. It's one thing I appreciate out here in the southwest of the USA.

@derekperkins7343 8 месяцев назад

I need to confess: Im getting a lot of merit points for amazing camp cooking at the moment. The range and variety of the ingredients and the general menu has been noticed by my better half. She knows I watch your channel, but I haven't completely come clean about where all this creativity is coming from.

@travelswithmytribe 3 года назад

‘I’m in’- My 8 year old Son and I love watching your videos together. We’re currently stationed in the Netherlands where, sadly, open fires aren’t allowed but we move East in a few months time where Overlanding and Wild Camping is legal and we’re beyond excited.

@Phoeff99 3 года назад

@@charmainegentz9543 maybe it can but then the cost of shipping (cast iron remember!) would obviate the point of the giveaway which is to thank his supporters for the support we give him. It’s not supposed to cost him extra money!

@keithwilliams4247 3 года назад

"I'm in" I have to laugh every time you tell us that you can't go anywhere in the UK where there are no people. Here in Northern Alberta where I live I am blessed to be able to leave my house on my side by side and within 5 minutes from town be totally on my own for days. (even longer) Plus I can carry a knife, Gun, crossbow etc with no worries. I never want to take this freedom for granted.

You like everything I like in getting away and using bushcraft skills which I have been learning along the way. Thank you for your videos and please don't stop making them. I have learned knots, the shelters with the tarp, and Dutch oven cooking techniques. I just bought a new Dutch oven, so I am looking for people like you to learn from. Thanks.
