I know this is an old video, but thank you for giving me the push I needed all these years to go out and buy a sewing machine (bought today for $15 USD) and start making my own sacks. And fixing a pullover hoodie. Can't wait to make the wool blanket hoodie! Thanks again, Sir. 🍺

Well done! And four years later, Godspeed and good health.

I just watched your videos explaining your surgery, I'm very happy the issue was resolved and so quickly!

BEAUTIFUL, Simon! Late to the party, but enjoying your videos very much….so glad you fared so well after the health scare. I’m a new subscriber and love your videos. The pouch and your attention to detail are top-notch!💥💥 Thank you! PS….One of your blokes said he’s on a waitlist for a beautiful bow saw? Well, I said beautiful anyway!!

I realize this was 5yrs ago. But I am glad you are well. Love your ideas on the wax canvas kit pouches. They look awesome. Thank you for sharing.

I love your DIYs. They motivate me to craft not buy!

This video spurred me on to try sewing for the first time. The circumference of the circle and wall fabric size is important. Measure measure. Thanks for the motivation and information.

Great work. Also, as an NHS employee myself, we appreciate the positive feedback. We don't do our job for rewards or anything. But knowing someone has received great care, and had their life improved, is reward enough. Keep up the good work and enjoy the outdoors. I am enjoying catching up on your videos. Cheers.

Watching this for the second time. I have had AF since about 1982. If you get a reoccurrence, go directly to a big hospital's 'A& E / Casualty. Initially, I had my AF reset via the electric paddles (jump start) and several years later I went into AF again. Doing the right thing, I attended my GP Doctor rather than clutter up the hospital. By the time I got to see the specialist, he told me it was too late to reverse it. You can lead a pretty normal life with AF, I managed to work as a Prison Officer in Maximum Security and Extreme High Risk (two levels above Maximum Security) for nearly 20 years without too many problems (the Department were on a need to know basis, they didn't need to know, so I kept schtum about it). One thing I learnt when inspecting the sewing shops in gaols was to quickly put a neat crease in something you are about to sew, was to hold it stretched tautly and then 'break' it over the edge of the work table. Quick and very effective. Keep up the good work mate!

Simon I lost my brother to cvd and my father too. I stopped alcohol and changed my diet/lifestyle and sorted out many ailments that I had. I hope you are taking care of yourself as the operation is not a complete cure, it can happen again if you dont watch what you put in your gob.

Happy you are well. I am 51 as of Jan. 21, and have spent the last twelve years fighting, at first it was my lungs, and now fighting to keep my legs. I love bushcraft, and even as I fight with my health and am now disabled as per the Canadian government, I am still getting out there as best I can. I attend university full-time, and many of my courses take me outside into the Canadian wilderness. Keep up the channel and best of luck with your health. Life has gotten better, despite? In spite of my health? Our health care here in Canada gets knocked as well, but I have spent barely a penny!!! Cheers fella!!!

I have PAF so glad you they sorted you out. Great video too

Amazing! On recovery!

Another suggestion : I have several pouches, for instance for my toilet items (toothbrush etc.), simply sewn from the sleeves of old shirts. Of course this is only possible when the pouch doesn't need to be as strong as the one you made in this video, but there are lots of uses . Saves work and makes good use of things you'd otherwise throw away.

Thanks Simon, just made a set of one big and three small pouches for my zebra billy. Really pleased with the pattern :)

Lovely pouch. Just trying to catch up with your videos. Had lots of commitments and no time. NHS is fantastic. Cured my cancer and keep checking me, also my triple heart bypass. Glad your well.

Brillant Simon ! Your pouches are very well made and inspiring. I like to sew waterproof and dirt proof pouches. I usually use regular cotton scraps from other projects an spread odicoat resin on it. just iron it with baking paper on top, and there you go ! Any cotton becomes waterproof. Ready to be sewn. By the way : I'm so glad you have recovered.

Best wishes for a speedy recovery.

OMG! how brilliant was that! I had no idea - I'm off to get a sewing machine! Many many thumbs up if I could!

I’ve watched loads and loads of your videos and I think this is the first time I’ve see. You without a hat of some sort I was confused at first 😂😂 Ps love the videos

I myself was diagnosed with throat cancer back in June/July 2019 to which i still have a couple of months to see if the treatment was successful. But your Nhs statement is spot on and people are concerned with it's future but they must be more grateful, good to hear things are better for you.🤠👍

Hi Simon, greetings from sunny Malaysia. Have been a long time subscriber to your channel but only just found this one you posted back in the good old pre-pandemic days of 2017. Absolutely brilliant my friend . In fact I was looking for the camp kitchen utensil roll one you did when I found this one ! I recently bought my first sewing machine as a result of that camp kitchen roll video with the intention of making one. Having now learned how to use my sewing machine and patched up the knees on a lot of my jeans, I now have the confidence to venture forth and start on the kitchen utensil roll and the round draw bags having bought the materials to do these. Looks like I have you to thank for keeping me busy in the coming few weeks making pouches and bags for my outdoor gear and some add on side pouches for my Fjallraven Singi Stubben as no-one seems to have them in stock. Stay safe and keep the videos coming :-)

You could make a different one and sew a couple of loops on it and attach D rings. Then you can make or purchase a strap or adjustable strap and make a cross-body water bottle carrier. Nice video. I have made these pouches but never thought of the two-tone constrast and will make one.

My wife who likes to sew LOVED THIS and especially how you did the circles to the squares - cheers

Pants legs also makes great bags too , if what your carrying dont have to be water resistant. Basically all my cooking ingredients are in air and water tight containers, so anything will work that just keeps it together. Your idea on cooking items is great choice on material. Pathfinder has got a 48 oz coffee press , ive got ordered their 64 oz bottle will fit inside it , like their 32 oz bottle will fit in their 25 oz cup . They also have a new cup thall fit over the grayl bottle .

Great skills and delighted to hear your health issues (which I didn't know about) have been successfully dealt with 👍

Wow didn't know glad to see you back and healthy

Nicely done

Happy your procedure worked. The bags look very nice and professionally done.

Simon, good to hear you had the arrhythmia sorted, working in Cardiology in Wales, I know what you've gone through with the many tests, medication and procedures for AF. I was looking for an idea how to tackle a bag for my Silky Bigboy, and I came across your videos and they are superb. True inspiration, thank you.

I’ve been watching a lot of your past content recently where you had made mention of your heart. I’m really glad to have stumbled upon this particular video to hear that you had an operation and that it was such a success. I’m very happy for you even if it is a bit late! Keep up the good work Simon 👍

Oh my goodness I didn’t know you were very poorly, I’m so glad everything was a success 😊. Excellent idea, like you say the list is endless and so satisfying making them yourself. I’ve recently started camping in my car so I made templates for my windows and made insulated window screens so helps with privacy and keeping the warmth in 😊. Will have a bash at this, I too love the colour contrast and the sound of that material. Thank you 🙏

Fantástic... ❤

Oh Simon, i am glad to hear that your operation was a success. It is weird, because this year there were also three health incidents among German youtubers. Damn! Okay, back to the video ... thanks for sharing this tutorial. I love these waxed canvas pouches and i think i will try it to make one of them. The two different colors looks very good. Thumbs up! Greetings from Germany. Azze

Great job the bag is beautiful!!!

I love working with waxed cotton: it behaves so well and looks so good. Apart from a now very complicated knapsack I'm planning on making (too much thought before starting...and now to daunting.), I'd run out of ideas. Thanks for this- all cylindrical objects will be encased!

Nice ! Thankyou for the lesson and the ideas. And its good to see you have recovered, LOL yeah im 3 yrs late , still i look forward to your next vid.

I save all your videos where you are making item's keep it up

Safety pin will work better than a bit of wire👍❤️

I am glad your operation was a success! These pouches you make are awesome. I do not have a sewing machine nor am I proficient at sewing but I would like to make something similar for my cook set. Great job, keep up the good work.

The NHS is great for cancer and heart problems and now COVID but for other issues it is not so good, saying that I think it is a great service and we are very lucky to have it. Glad you got your heart sorted and thanks for the great videos..just wish I had a workshop/space like yours. Thanks again xx

Another awesome instructional video from the renaissance man!! Well done Simon!! I have to order me some waxed canvas, and bet that old sewing machine going, or maybe yet, use my Grandmothers tredle foot powered Singer, I'm sure it will be easer to get running than the electric one I have . In the mean time I bought a nice 9 oz veg tanned quarter of leather and have been busy making all new sheaths for all my hatchets and axes, Very satisfying if i do say so myself! Oh yea, im excited , my Opinel #8 should be arriving any day, im very excited about that little gem of a knife! Thanks to you!

Congratulations, 👍👍👍👍👍

He’s at it already !! Recuperation time well spent mate ..

Glad to see you bank Simon

Wow after all this time enjoying your videos I never knew about your health issue. Hope your doing well and really do love the content that you share.

Nice one.

Nice video mate, happy you feel good. TIP fir you, pass the paracord when it’s still flat. Easier in a straight line and not in the way if the sewing

Welcome to the zipper club. For those that don't know, when they open up your chest to get at the heart, there is a scar left behind. They used to use stitches or staples that left the scar looking like a zipper. I had a triple bypass about 4 years ago now.

Well done! Cheers mate!

Nice to see you back on your feet.

I bet there are some brilliant meticulous surgeons in the UK. Good it all worked out.

Really happy to hear about the success of the operation mate.

Fantastic, really enjoyed that, who knew I liked sewing!

very,very well said, NHS is the best. glad you are ok

Praise God you’re procedure went well! Fantastic diy tutorial! Once I’m done with school I will be learning these types of crafts, especially with how expensive the punches are to buy from another maker. Loved that 2-tone!! Cheers brother!

Excellent tutoriL!!

Hi Simon, I'm glad to hear that all went well and the op was a success! I like the bag. Very nice. All the best Al

Glad it all went well, yes we are really fortunate to have the NHS.

Glad to hear all is well - you are very lucky to have NHS. Very nice pouch - you have definitely have skills my friend.

Great news about your op. Another wonderful display of your skills.

Nice to see you back Simon, you are looking well pal, enjoyed the video once again keep it up, when you out next.

Bit late to the party but delighted to hear that you got your heart sorted. That must have been a big worry. Love your channel. It's become my go to here in France, so thanks for all the great content. It really is appreciated! Tony

Love the N.H.S. without it myself, my wife and by extraction my brilliant son would not be here. Lets hope it survives. Anyhow, love your vids Simon, thanks.

Great job on the pouch!

Brill video, I know it's years old, but bring the cutoffs of waxed canvas out as tinder, they light the fire a treat :)

That is fantastic, you make it look so simple to make!

Glad you are well Simon, NHS does sound good! here in Oklahoma they'd let me die probably😉

When sewing a circle, it is easier to reangle the fabric when you lift the foot while the needle is down. Hope you understand what i mean ;) I enjoy your videos and i like how you keepin it real! Thank you and stay healty!

Another great helpful video xx

Beautiful kit. Love it.

Brilliant! What a talented person you are.

So glad to know you are ok Simon. Totally agree with you about the NHS. I've just come out of hospital myself. Gall bladder stones removed and a huge infection cured. Anyway. Glad to know you are alright my friend. . All the best.

Great bit of handiwork, adaptable as you say, to all sorts of uses. Great to see you looking so well after the repair work - nice to know we'll all be enjoying your videos for some time to come! Have a great 2018 & I look forward to seeing the occasional extract from it!

Excellent

Some how Simon I missed the info on your Heart Problems. I'm Praying for you to be OK. I know how bad this stuff can be, I've had stints put in my heart and a triple bypass also and 10 stints in left leg and 4 in my right legs too, so far. I wish we had the program like ya'll have there, I owe several hundred thousand dollars for my operations and no insurance to help me out. I need to make a pouch like that myself...its Nice with-a-long all your stuff.

Another fab video, inspired to make one of these myself once i get a sewing machine

So glad everything went well.

Nice job - I shall have to give it a go provided ER Indoors lets me near her sewing machine. Good to hear all went well with the op. Dave

Great job 👍. Gonna make a couple of these for my zebra pots 👍🙂. Thanks for the film

Very, very satisfying! well, done.

Good to hear AF sorted. Brilliant video, well clever. Good man. Dave :-)

Hi Simon, sorry to hear about the operation buy truly glad it all went so well, you look good on it mate. Another quality video, many thanks for sharing. I'm building up the courage to ask my wife whether I can use her sewing machine, i'm not holding my breath though, lol. Thanks again Simon, ATB, Paul.

Glad to see you are doing well

Simon, What no logo? it would look even better with your logo on them. You should be on National television better than some of those programs which are on now, great to watch you. Well done Mate???.

Glad you're on the mend and good video.

Great sewing tips, thanks.

Very nice work!

I have AFIB and CHF. I'm glad you're ok!! Scary thing to have. Wish you continued good health!!

Great video Simon :D Welcome back, glad you are okay :D

Neat and useful project Simon great to see are well on the mend mate atb. Alb

I was amazed to hear you suffered from Afib I still deal with it they control mine with medicine

Making this as we speak mate. Good work.

Thanks for sharing Simon, I’ve just managed to get my first sewing machine 👍🏼👍🏼

I started putting the drawstring in as a sew the hem. The foot keeps it in place. If you want to see me go ballistic, it's trying to get paracord around with a piece of wire. Great vid! I got lazy and just used the legs off a pair of trousers... yours sure look nicer.

Great video... Love the concept glad you're doing well...

Great video...thks

Well done matey, glad your op worked out ok and thank you for you r good quality instruction and insights. Cheers

Simon I have stumbled up on your videos today and I have subscribed to your channel and have set the Notification bell . I like your videos they are well made and easy to understand. I will definitely watch all your videos. The ones that I have seen, I have learned a good bit. I hope you are still doing fine and in good health. Can’t wait to see some new videos. You have good ideas, I just wish I had found you in the beginning . Have a good day !!
