Woodland Wildcamp with French Food and Drinks 

Years ago a friend and I were hiking and came across a sign that said, "Pull the rope." We did. Someone had tied a can of beer to the end and placed it in the stream just off the trail. Perhaps the best half beer of my life provided by a generous soul.

You're the best mate! I'd happily share a few bottles of plonk with you. Thanks for all the cracking videos, they're very much appreciated.

As always - you remind us why you're the absolute legend of wild camping - great stuff as always Patrick

What could be better than a bank holiday afternoon with Patrick on the TV. Brilliant. 🤩

"What's that smell?" "Oh it's only Pat flambéing his crêpe Suzette in the woods". Brilliant video, thanks for all the effort you put into it. Really made my day.

"I've returned the campsite to exactly how it was before I camped. Nobody would even know that I had been here. And that's how it should be". And yet you still lived like Louis XIV in those few hours in a hedge. Such wise words, appreciation of life, culture and nature, and promotion of responsibility are why you are such a legend to so many folk Pat. Thank you for another thoroughly entertaining video! Cheers. Rich. 👍

Glad I'm not the only one that does this in and around Sheffield, I go out most days in the surrounding woodlands to sit in the bushes and make a brew or dinner. so lucky here to have such greenery around our city.

Patrick thanks for the comedy show, been a fan for awhile now, before the shed pub, love a guy who can appreciate the simple things in life ,including a few beers ,meal was great, keep up the good work, you do make me smile.cheers.

That was wonderful. Must be a huge amount of work put into entertaining us for over 45 minutes. Thank you very much for brightening up our days.What a legend !

Thanks so much for your videos Pat. I suffer from some mental health problems but your videos always cheer me up and make me feel better. You are a Hero!

Pat does Keith Floyd. Thanks for the videos Pat. They've been keeping us going throughout this crazy year.

Patrick - I've watched your videos for several years and each time is as interesting as the last! Your videos are wonderful! Thanks and please keep going!

If I ever stumble over a bin bag with a full bottle of wine I'll know what's going on

i've watched everyone of your videos pat they never cease to entertain you make us feel part of it thanks again pat ..

Christ on his bike Pat...😳. You are a genius. 🐸 legs and flambé crepes? What the hell am I doing with a dehydrated meal. Looking forward to me invite to your next pop up restaurant. Thank you for keeping me entertained. The local boy done good 👏🏻👏🏻

Great business idea, culture, camping & cooking with Pat all polished off with a tipple of something nice. I’d pay for it, what an experience it would be. Yet another great video Pat!

Formidable! Thanks for 45m of sheer entertainment 🇫🇷

When I was younger (back in the 70s) we would wade beaver ponds here in eastern Virginia (US) at night with a light and gig to get our frogs. Delicious, like chicken, I would tell my daughters. Another wonderfull video, thanks.

Here in Wales it's blowing up to a full gale and throwing it down but you've brightened my day Pat. Thank you.

I started watching this because I find M. Dickinson quite the captivating watch...but before long I became fascinated as to how one might cook up a fish soup on a leaf-strewn floor in the great outdoors. It's an impressive effort. Cheers!

"Ello ello!" It's Pat on another wild camp. Good to see you again!

Wonderful. It takes me back to when I was picking grapes near Beziers. The farmer's wife turned up with a pan of snails cooked in garlic. Formidable!

And there's me thinking there's no Bank Holiday specials to watch any more! - Cheers Pat! Glad to see you're escaping the shed.

That is a magical place you have found Pat and you made my mouth water with your cooking. Thank you.

Such a class act young Pat ! Thankyou for a little continental diversion , French style!

I would have watched another 90 minutes of that Patrick. There is never a dull moment and thank you for taking the time to plan and edit this video. Take car and I am waiting for the next one buddy with eager anticipation .

How lovely oooh la la, bonjour. I bet you are on top of the world. First camp in many a moon. Lovely seeing you today. God bless you,and keep you safe 💕

Good to see you out in the woods again Pat on another wild camp 😀

As I mentioned before you've been tempting me to go back to wildcamping here on Vancouver Island. We do tend to get bears and cougars near us however which changes the dynamic a bit ;)

Thoroughly enjoyed that Patrick. I'm laid up with long covid. It's keeping me sane. Thanks.

Not sure why but, with the music at the start and then you emerging from around the tree, I couldn't help thinking of the last of the summer wine lol. You do look a little like Compo too by the way ;)

Absolutely loved this one Patrick. Made me smile.xx

Thanks for sharing this on a Bank Holiday, Patrick.

I watched the last video again. I go to the sea myself for the summer, or really for the whole year. The house is what it is, but can withstand winds and gusts. Simple life but wonderful. I wish you and the family all the best ... I look forward to the new video. Respectfully. Dennis

i was out and about one day and a French man asked me if i liked pastis. i said i prefer sausage rolls

Brilliant, saved this for my Saturday night ! What a guy 👍👍

I forgot to say I am in my hammock watching you mate it's raind all night 😒😒😒

Sitting here at home in France watching. Reminds me of how it all started with me and a book my sister gave me for my birthday. 'Backpacking in Britain' by Robin Adshead........It disappeared over the years but I came across a copy whilst in an old book shop a few years ago. £2.50...... I couldn't hand over my money quick enough. Also remember having a 'Camp trails' catalogue which was the 'in thing' back then....I was young and had no money but my dream was a 'Robert Saunders backpacker' tent, a 'Camp trails' rucksack and a 'Trangia'....Eventually I ended up with a nylon 'Vango force ten' a 'Karrimor' rucksack and 'SVEA 123' stove....Still got them and still use them.....If only I had your cooking skills Patrick.........

Auf Wiedersehen, Pat... oh wait that's German.

Nothing lifts my mood more than a Pat Dickinson video! Absolutely love your work and the hard graft thats put into these videos. Truly a inspiration and role model to all

It's good to see Patrick back to doing what Patrick does best, I am going to have a go at the fish soup it looks very quick and easy to make, and that is the way I like cooking to be.

Thank you for bringing me wild camping. I went last weekend with a few mates from work, we camped in Maryland, USA

Love to watch you cook delicious food . Thank you so much for your awesome videos. ATB Gail from Worcester Massachusetts USA 🇺🇸🇨🇦

A wonderful expedition Pat. Magnifique!! Thanks very much.

Only subscribed to your channel last week. I've watched all your videos and find them absolutely brilliant. Your videos in pub are great. Your a true legend. Can't get enough of em

Love watching your videos and having a drink with you Patrick. Keep up the great work

Bonjour Le frogs legs eater Anglais ! I ate them when I was working in France and was surprised how nicw they were ! Thanks for another semi-wild camp Patrick !

Bon appétit! Wow you really have outdone yourself on that meal! And a perfect location with the birds chirping away in a beautiful forest. Thanks for sharing Pat. Cheers

Oh Pat you are a legend. Made us want to go find some Sheffield woods. Thankyou for sharing your adventures, inspiring 👍

Another brilliant camp Pat! Great to see you back again. I will out to leave a little stash in the woods on Thursday before my camp, what a great top tip... Thanks again. 😁

Brilliant as ever Patrick. Very enjoyable.

What a legend ✋ one to cheer us all up after the restrictions of this bloody pandemic. A touch of class in the great outdoors. Take care buddy and stay safe 😷 ATVB from sunny and locked down Malaysia 😷🏕🇲🇾

Inspired by your videos I bought a little tent a couple of summers ago, only got out once but this week have pitched it in some woodland at the back of my flat in Sheffield a spot very unlikely to be stumbled upon. I even saw a deer a couple of days ago, the first wild one I've seen other than in Scotland and north Yorkshire. Up until a few months ago I had a large garden but I'll be spending my lazy summer days at my woodland hideaway wild camp site this year.

Very very enjoyable video Pat , thanks for all the time and effort , always a pleasure to watch

good ,funny video patrick , i miss you underground adventures

You have to take your time, wait for it. This video is not a quick hit and run. Love the content, so individual. Really enjoyed it. Galloping Gourmet in a tent!

I just wanted to take a moment to say how much I enjoy your videos. I was born and raised in Sheffield in the roughly the same neighbourhood (up near Whiteley Woods). I moved away as an adult, first to London for work, and then most recently I was living in San Francisco for 10 years. Last year I was thinking it was time to return home though, so started looking for Sheffield videos on youtube, which is when I stumbled across your channel. Your videos helped remind me how good it would be to be back here in Sheffield again. So I'm back here in Sheffield as of the end of last year, just a few mintues walk from the parks leading up into the peaks. Sadly with the timing of the lockdown, and unfortunately now going through cancer treatment, I haven't really got out much yet. But thank you so much for continuing to make these lovely videos. They make me feel happy to be back in Sheffield and remind me of some of the things I am most looking forward to enjoying when things get back to normal. I'll keep watching them for as long as you keep making them. Thanks again!

Great cookery lesson Pat! You keep me going through the darkness! Thumbs up!

The best guy you could ever meet down the pub

An other great video. It must take so much time to plan and organise things like this. Great entertainment loved it. Made my beer go down a treat.

Nice to see you out in the country again, lovely to hear and see the cocophany of nature waking up. I can almost smell you cooking your cuisine alfresco. Nice vlog.

Pat you have the best wild camp ideas!

Another great video Pat. Great to see you back out. Merci!

Well that looked delicious. Love French food, and French food on a wild camp even better 😋

Patrick, Julie and I dropped onto this upload by coincidence today; what a happy, inspiring (not to mention rather tasty) camp. Brilliant, inspirational, charming - you've right cheered us up. Best wishes to you and yours.

Great menu Patrick! Nice to see you back out camping again.

I enjoyed every minute. Thanks Pat!

Great video Patrick, thoroughly enjoyed, thank you.

A Sheffield legend..love your videos Pat

What a brilliant and entertaining video, many thanks Pat.

Pat. This is great to watch you camp. Yes! You are not only fun and easy to watch you speak well on good thing's. Holy! The Crepe with Orange sauce wowza;) Never seen that before. Ace! Look forward to the next one. From Craig. Bye.

That was superb sir. Great episode.

Gr8 video Pat and fantastic to see the chef drinking at work, cheers🍷

Everything looked wonderful. You enjoyed I enjoyed. Nice to see you back out in the wild.

There’s only one Patrick Dickinson. Fantastic. No gamekeeper or drones looking in that neck of the woods. I spent the weekend doing reckies. Found a new isolated glade. Hopefully be using it at the weekend. Great video Pat. Loved every minute of it Stay safe 🔥

Pat, you are brilliant. I believe that you could have been big in entertainment, even in the French film industry of the 1970s. Can you remember the great films they produced, a lot better than the Hollywood rubbish. For a Sheffield lad you carry so much culture. Peace be unto you.

French cuisine, that`s what you call posh wild camping. Great wee video, thanks,

Hello,,,i enjoy all your shows,,,,,thanks

Absolutely brilliant yet again 👏...by far the best RU-vid channel..

Brilliant!! Thanks for sharing your fish soup recipe, looking forward to cooking it soon, we all miss the tastes of the Mediterranean!!

Hi Patrick really enjoyed this , can’t wait till the next one thanks for sharing Best Regards Tim

Nice one Pat good advice about the washing up thatle keep Rudolf Hess happy even though she doesn't do the washing up

Good to see what you do best and now we have added fresh cooking to the list. No English breakfast though well you have plenty of time for those in the future. What a great camp location secluded in the woodland loving the birdsong and the french cooking the fresh soup looked good with all that fish. Stay safe and see you again soon.

Awesome video mate you are the king of wild camping chefs 🤌🏼

Man, you are full of fun! What a lovely place and experience to share with us.

Thoroughly enjoyed that Patrick thank you

Allo Allo Sir Patrick! Classic Allo Allo wild camp and Allo Allo was a classic tv show which was so funny to watch and Gordon Kaye was the best in show. Great French food and classic wild camp. You picked a great little spot and the French meal looked very nice! I've never tried frogs legs but I've tried squid and was nice. Great to see you out camping again so things are starting to look better now that we are slowly getting back to normal now. I've bought new tents 4 season ones that's so lightweight. Friday I did a wild camp in the highlands near the Cairngorms national park and it felt fantastic! Last night I got back home and so so tired because it was so much fun! Glad you enjoyed that French meal and soup take me back when I had something like that in iloret de mar in Costa Brava seaside resort and I remember the scotch corner to get great meals. Those were the great days Glad you got a good day for cooking french meal and wine to add the flavour! How about a last of the summer wine wild camp theme and another great classic British tv series. That would be awesome as nora batty and compo were so classic together! Another classic wild camp from you and stay safe and well!!!

hi pat ive waited a whole year for this and it not been disappointing either . fantastic pat really enjoyed

Tres bien Monsieur, allez allez! That's about all the French I know, and I learnt that from watching the Tour de France. Chapeau! :)
