I head out in my canoe to a favourite spot on my local river for a solo wild camp in my half Laavu shelter. An Australian ration pack for food, some rum and a warm fire followed by a reasonably comfortable night in an 80 year old woollen sleeping bag from World War 2 - happy days!
I am sorry for the long wait for this video after my last camp at Christmas - I needed to take some time off to catch up on jobs at home (a very long list of essential repairs) and to spend some time with my family. I am very glad to be back in front of the camera now though, and I will continue to film my adventures as often as I can.
I hope you enjoy the video.
Thanks for watching.

Who else was grinning like a Cheshire Cat when Simon got out of the canoe and walked to camera..? Like catching up with a long lost friend! Welcome back Simon!

Great to see you back Simon. Wednesdays evenings just weren't the same without your videos 👍
-
All of a sudden it feels like the world is a better place now Simon is back

I am a 76 year old woman from Alaska USA and this is the first video of yours I have seen by yourself. I am really enjoying it. Your views are a bit different from Kent’s. So much fun watching you open the donated pack of foods. Reminds me of the MRE’s my dad had back in the 60’s but they weren’t nearly as good! Summer will be here before you know it and I am planning on spending a lot of it outdoors camping! So excited! Thanks for a great video!

It was a great camp, Simon. You said you needed it, I say we needed you back! There are those of us out here that are now too old and too disabled to carry on with the camping lark and we live our lives through you now. Thank you mate.!

Today is a good day. Really pleased to see Simon back in my feed. welcome back, you've been missed.

Simon, we found you via Andy, Kent Survival. This was a great vlog.😊 It takes time and thought to set up these vlogs, and appreciate you needed time out to catch up on things and spend time with your family...we have an old house so know exactly how it is! As and when , your videos will always be much appreciated. Take good care of yourself and your family.😊

Having this video out is like receiving a phone call from a good friend you’ve not spoken to for ages! Love it! And welcome back! YouTube is now a better place!
-
WELCOME back Simon… you were missed.

Video has only been on less than 10 minutes and already several admirers. You were indeed missed! Welcome back Simon, great to see you again.

My wife came running when she heard me yelling. She said what’s wrong, I said nothing the new Simons here. Of course we both sit down immediately to watch. So glad to see you back friend Simon! it’s so wonderful to come along with you.

All is well with the world, a bloke is back in the woods.

That MRE pack was huge! The Aussies know how to look after their service men and women! Great the have you back Simon, you're videos are the perfect antidote to a day in the office.

Finally back! Sleeping in a bag basically made during the same week as D-Day. Nice.
-
That Oz ration pack was the gift that kept on giving. What a fine selection.

Great video Simon, good to see you back. I love that it's a ration pack video, and that you had an Australian ration pack was extra special as it's ANZAC day here Oz.

Simons back...now things will get back to normal! Simons back...now spring can do its thing😊.

Welcome back Simon. A bit of pleasant sanity in an insane world.
