Loved the video Sandy, each one gets a little better and I enjoy watching them from across the pond. Elsa deserves a streak bone for her brave trek across the sway bridge! Woof!

Another great video thanks Sandy what a wonderful Duo you and Elsa make. Take Care Spenny

Your videos are always a pleasure to watch Sandy. There is no right or wrong way to get out in nature, but I prefer your style of camping. You and Elsa are a class act! Thanks for making this wonderful video! Sincerely, Ossie

We have lived in the forest of Dean for 21 years. Lovely place. Wouldn't live anywhere else.

Great video as always Sandy. Some lovely views, witty banter and good use of all manner of kit. Great stuff...

Beautiful area, good times! There's just something about cooking over a wood stove that makes the food taste better. Thanks for sharing!

What a wonderful location. Looks like you and John had a blast. All The Best Spenny

Sandy,lovely 3-day campout. Nice to see you and John. Wish I could have been with you.... So much fun and I'd learn too. Still not able to consistent make fire with flint and steel. I must be doing something wrong. When I get it mastered, it will be included in my 1800s style miniseries. Intelligent tents...wow.... Take care, my friend. Ken

Thanks Spenny. We had a great time. Thanks for watching. Sandy

Nice to see the tipi reproofed. Will look out for your rain test!! That area is beautiful. Love the Wye. Hope to get there soon, maybe with my canoe. Great trip. Donny.

The F.O.D....On my doorstep :) ... Love it there, and although a Gloucestershire lass all my life, I've only ever walked a fraction of it.

thats a great spot Sandy... I enjoyed watching this Video, thanks for sharing the weekend .. all the best ... Mark

Always excited when you put a video up, this one was no exception :D Great stuff Sandy.

Another great vid Sandy enjoyed that , that cowboy you were talking about sleeping on the floor was Jim Bridger mountain man thanks

Great video Sandy. We are heading over to the Lake district this summer fir two weeks camping and I hope the weather is as good for us as it was for you on this camp. Thanks for Sharing, we really enjoyed watching.

Looks like you had a brilliant time Sandy mate . Our dog does the same thing with Bakers Meaty Chunks .. They turn up everywhere ! Thanks for sharing your trip bud Luke

As always a great video im loving all the camp out vids your doing at the moment sandy, take care Mike

The unofficial camp site you crafty man! great stuff fantastic and lovely knives you make also.. nice one the pint you had looked Moorish .

Hope you have a great camp. The F.O.D is a lovely place. Sandy

Always a pleasure to see a new video from you. Nice camp, beautiful spring scenery - thanks very much for sharing another inspirational adventure! Though I usually use a hammock or bivy bag when I backpack or hike - I like teepee tents for car-camping. Peace & Best Wishes -

Good trip out Sandy mate! Thanks for sharing! FOD is a beautiful place, must get up there sometime! All the best!

great video beautifull countryside looks like you guys had a blast.

Camped many a time in The Dean. If you follow the path along the river up stream on the side you approached the bridge, about half way to the pub, up the cliffs there’s some caves you can camp in and explore.

I want a nice plush camp chair like you had...lol A bush kit MUST be blackened to have the right look. I never clean mine. The black reminds me of all the meals or tea/coffee that i have made. As a bonus when i boil water in the kitchen with it to make chaga tea, the wood smoke smell that fills the kitchen is like perfume to me. Awesome good time brother. Since we are so far apart, i have to envy the guys you are with.

Another great video Sandy

Thanks for the video. I'm going camping at the Forest of Dean in 12 days and I can't wait :) this was very interesting to watch.

Love your videos my friend, thank you for sharing...Shall be ordering the same tent also

Hi Garwth, The folding firebox is superior because it doesn't buckle. My honey stove has buckled quite badly. Sandy

now thats posh lol looks like a mini holiday mate - not sure about that bridge hahaha loved the dogging bit (you know what i mean lol) that firebox is getting used a bit now - how did you manage with out it? just being outdoors is good for the soul

there's a bridge like that in Pitlochry, and a ferry like that in Périgueux. The RFD is one of my favourites, it has a little of everything interesting. The boar are numerous, and that helicopter probably belongs to a local land developer. Looks like the spot west of Cinderford

The weather looks good, we are just coming into Autum over here. A great time of year.

Looks like the Forestry Commision campsite near Coleford which ive used a few times, (a nice place). Am suprised you didnt bump into any Wild Boar when you were there, there's many living wild in the Forest Of Dean now, we think we heard some once when we were there. Anyway, thanks for posting Sandy.

great vid sandy , looked a lovely place

This was a great short film, Sandy! Very dynamic. Always enjoy spending a morning with my coffee in hand watching your adventures. Be well mate. Jesse

nice one guys FOD is a great place camped there as a family many times great to see you chilling out mate atb alb

absolutly wonderful my friend

Hello Sandy thanks for sharing this, as others have already said it is a very nice video. Loved the reaction of elsa to the bacon? is this a ritual with her? my little Patterdale cross used to continuously lick and bite a a treat before devouring it. Thanks again Sandy........Les.

Brilliant mate quick question do you prefer the folding firebox over the honey stove and if so it it because the firebox is bigger. Cant wait for the next video mate. :-)

forgot a chair.... pull one out of the car! haha great stuff, love the vids all the best Phill

lol, what was Elsa doing while she was about to eat?, great trip Sandy, was that Johns 1st camping experience? All his gear was brand new!

Cool vid Sandy

Beautiful area, so peaceful. Does Elsa's unspoken-on-camera name have to do with stealing sausages? :-) I enjoy your camping videos very much, beautiful area. Makes me always think of "And did those feet in ancient times walk upon England's mountains green...?"

You do make a good video Sandy, keep em coming, Paul.

really enjoyed the vid, all the best

Well I bought Fabsil I hope that it doesn't leave the same white marks all over the Laavu as yours did. Nice to see BJ all domestic and house proud!!

Sandy hope all is going well with you. I was going over some of your older videos and wanted to say thank you for sharing. ATB

I love the forest of dean great place to camp and the walks are great to. :-)

johns 'glamping ' lol

Great vid again sandy , you john had great time how many mile was the round trip is this the place you was going to again ,that you spoke about when wee talked on the phone ? looks a nice area Regards Marty

Can you please give advice on how to make an easy vestibule, maybe with a tarp, for my small two man quechua pop up tent for when its raining. In the morning, if raining, I have nowhere to set up a stove because the door area slopes backwards as many tent fronts do!! Any help?

Isnt it handy, the Piccaso seats coming out like they do, Ive got one the same colour as yours, hellish roomy motor. Whats the crack with Elsa and the food ' was it too hot '. Looks like you enjoyed yourselves especialy John "GLAMPING ", lol. Not sure about cowboy Jack though, A T B and as always L N T, Ken

Nice little video, enjoyed watching that. What time of year was this shot? We're going to the same campsite in 8 days for a week and a bit, hope we're as lucky with the weather as you two. Taking our kevlar kayak. The river looks fairly fast flowing, Is it asa choppy as it looks in your videos the entire length or were you in a choppy area?

wow i like that lamp is it run on parafin?

Hi Sandy that explains everything thanks mate :-)

Are you allowwed to fish in the river, would there be trout in there?

That little stove is a ripper, you don't see them over here.

realy nice could fish that river if you want to!

My birth country is on the other side of that river :-)

This is the place Marty. Sandy

is it legal to camp in the F.O.E. ?? what about the wood processing ?? can you cut wood and start fire/cook ? is it legal to cut wood with machete ? or hatchet ? cheers mate

Hva er NorPak Sandy ??

I would take a pass on the ferry ride. Defernetly a Fred's fery Co, It breaks every safety rule in the book, What book, The book they through away,

P.s they are chem trails!
