Hi Giles, looked like another nice camp and some great food too. Some sage advice on doing a recce for future camping spots, it's always good to have a few locations in the back pocket. I've gone and got myself a Plash Palatka, will be taking it out for a camp over the Easter weekend. Many thanks as always for sharing and all the best 👍

Outstanding opening / closing melody. Great content - I'm no spring chicken and my doing the like is keeping me alive and out of trouble. Thank very much, sir!

Keep em coming, Jack.

I like how you even got the rabbit to do a “run by” to camera

Once again, a pleasure to watch Giles. Happy travels 😊

Always a pleasure to tag along from my living room. The weather is turning better at last and I'm looking forward to seeing you out in the summer months. Thx

I love the idea of using a steamer basket as a fire container! Great idea!

Cheers Giles. Another excellent video. Hats, Synthetic tarps and Lavvus off to you Sir.

Another great video Giles, thanks mate keep me coming. Jack.

Keep things interesting, another story another place.

England has been populated for so many centuries, yet people still find some beautiful areas to camp in. I'd hate to have been in the storm that brought down all those trees!

Another great video Giles and very informative.

Thanks Giles, another quality production.

Another fun video. Exploring new areas is always interesting. You never know what you might find. Nice sunset. I actually started watching this video Monday night, but had to hit the sack pretty early. Tuesday was General Elections here in the States and I’m an Election Judge, which meant I was up at 4:00am and didn’t get home until 9:15pm. Myself and nine other judges run a place where people from two precincts can vote. We had 1,010 voters cast their ballots between 6:00am and 7:00pm. So, I finished the video tonight. I try to imagine sleeping like you do. Might give it a try. Been kind of warm here, and tomorrow will be 75F, but starting Friday it’s going to get colder. Saturday low will be about 20F. I’m slowly working my way through your videos up to the present. Take care, Mate. 😊 And, happy 🏕 camping!

I’m always on the lookout for new spots, Giles. My last one in the hammock was a bit further on than what I did a recce on and chanced my luck like you then. Turned out great! It’s always worth a punt and the worst that can happen is to get moved on… or shot and buried where you’d set up 😁 Good health sir 😉👍🏼

Great video Giles. I love your system and techniques. It was nice to spend a few minutes with you on your trip.

Great work once again Giles. I must say that you have some magnificent gnarley and twisted trees down there. Stay warm. Cheers.

"All good advice, Well done Giles"!

Thank you for another great video. I really enjoy them. I'm learning many tricks in gear and techniques in wild camping. Keep it up Giles!

Fantastic again this was, Giles.. Great advice too about doing a recce before hand - to find new potential spots for a wild camp! Also, the music is at a much better level now..👍🏻 Top marks on this one! Looking forward to your next adventure.

Great one again, I enjoy my 7oz waxed canvas 6”x 6” sail cloth tarp so much more than the vintage ponchos although I am still a huge fan of the poncho. It is refreshing to watch another content creator who shares same thoughts on gear.

Enjoying your vids. Loving the food choices. Keep up the good work

Great videos, loving seeing your wild camping and cooking :) I like your fold away fire pit, I bought one ages ago not used it yet, you've given me the confidence to have a go :)

My cousin Karl-Heinz, who was in the NVA, once told me if they had to 'Schnell-Schlaf' (sleep quickly) they would use their zeltbahn as a bivy bag. You place it on the ground like a diamond; fold the foot end up and grip between your boots, then the left corner is pulled over your body and then the right corner and you hold that and roll onto your left side, curl up and (as all soldiers know) drop off to sleep immediately, no matter where you are. You had enough at the head end to pull over you head and give some cover against rain. If you add a thin wool blanket you can handle fairly cold temps and lying on your sheepskin would ease some of the lumps. You use your pack as a pillow. Not the comfiest of nights but of course soldiers are usually exhausted and able to sleep anywhere, anytime.I imagine you could also just wear the zeltbahn as a cape and curl up anywhere.

Loved it Giles👏👌 And I can't believed that I have missed this video on my 'catch up'😉 I had a thought whilst you were walking through the forest (@1.37) that a silk parachute fashioned in to a hammock, coupled with a wax cotton tarp might just be the very thing😆Anyway, thank you and KTF🙏

Another great video Giles.

Cracking video as always Giles the wind looked a bit wild at one point after the storms it's a bit worrying just in case there's some dodgy tree's it's always on my mind now after my bad experience on a camp just after the storm's when all the trees were crashing down around us food looked great I used to have the same pot a good size and very light atvb jimmy 😎😎👍👍

New subscriber . Enjoyed the video . Getting ready to go do my own wilderness excursion ! Stay safe and healthy !

Enjoyed that , another great little wild camp . Love your style of camping . Cant believe you don't even use a wool blanket with your kit . Nice to do a recce I dont often do one but I think I'm going to start , unless I'm off a distance from home . Take care Giles lovely vid 🏕👍

Just started watching your videos mate love your gear setup very minimal take it easy 👍 👌

Love your ethics and love your videos Giles ! Every time I'm out, even if its just taking my dogs for a walk, I am always looking for potential wild camping spots. Big thumbs up mate 👍🏻

Great video as always.

Great relaxing video Giles, thanks for posting. Just the thing to watch before setting off for the day. Yesterday I was in and around Garstang nice little town in the Forest of Bowland about 30 mile from me. I live the other side of the forest nearer to Pendle Hill. Longridge is a little town a few from Clitheroe set almost rolling fields and not far from Preston. Despite the name it's more moorland than forest hereabouts. I enjoy your videos, very relaxing.

28:57 What an amazing artpiece! Look at that composition. Very cool.....

Wonderful video Giles. It would be so nice to know what areas you visit and camp. I’ve seen quite a few wild camp videos and they all seem to visit the North. It’s so refreshing to see what wonderful countryside we have in the South.

Hi Giles , just found your Channel , will be watching more ,and going through the older videos !😊👍

Just stumbled across your videos Giles, excellent viewing Buddy. You have another subscriber to your channel. Thanks for sharing Col 👍👍👍👍👍

Hi Giles. Great video, and some very good tips too. This is the 1st video I've seen of yours, but it made me want to subscribe to the channel! Look forward to more from you. Take care.

Great vid love the fact your plastic free and using old school kit I have subbed you great content atb Jay

Thank you for sharing another one, Giles. Unfortunately, my campout, which was arranged for this week, has had to be cancelled due to my catching that horrible virus that's been going around. I'll have to book more time off work ow before too long! At least I can watch yours, thanks again.

Dreadful behaviour on April 1st, good to see you’ve come to your senses & looking after the bluebells Giles. Cheers.🍷

Lovely job,South England is still beautiful

Creamy Pasta looked delicious Giles 😋 I think I will be trying out some of your recipes. I had been wondering how you adjusted the cooking height with your rope pot hanger 🤔 thank you for showing us how it's done 👍

Another great video 👍 I try to keep my gear traditional too, I love that you do. Is your twig/wood stove the small one, or large? (I think they come in about three sizes). I live in the South East too - looking forward to the warmer weather, and on that note, I'm off wild swimming!🙂

A very good video again Giles, very interesting and informative, May I ask what bushcraft knive you use .

A company in the South East somewhere called Outhaus do canvas swags and bedrolls - worth a look if you are after a bivy style sleep system. Great video and camp btw

Another great camp and video. Nice Toggle system for adjusting the height of you pot over the fire. Two questions, a). are you or do you ever get TICKS latching on? b). what cookset is it you use?

Good advice on doing a recce instead of setting out to wild camp somewhere unknown. After my break in the Lake District (all mod cons) am back to work with my crochet hook and some cheap but sturdy woollen yarn, hoping a non synthetic sleeping set-up will emerge from this eventually! Particularly liked the sunset in this vid - the light outlining you as well as the good sky. Also the deer in the field - was that a white one in the group?

Hi Giles a polish lavvu half would give you lot better protection from elements for not much more weight, don’t know your height but I wouldn’t fit in that 6x6 lol and no wool blanket hardcore, I’d bloody freeze even at minute lol👍

I live in the south east too and we do have a severe lack of good dense woodland, the wooded areas we do have are mostly part of country parks that attract lots of people so it does make it a little more difficult to find good spots to camp.

Hi Giles. Lovely video. Have you looked that the ex army Polish swag roll ? I think from memory that’s just cotton and canvas ? Military Mart had some the other day

Thanks for a nice video and the effort in making it. Did you let that rabbit out of your bag before walking into the field, it was very lucky that it ran before you. Just a thought - I have a vintage sleeping bag from around the 1950's given to me by my Uncle, It is made of a cotton outer with a down filling and is plastic free, a similar bag would suit your needs if you could source one. Take care.

Thanks Giles for the new video. I was wondering do you dry you veges in the oven or do you use a food dehydrator?

Hey miles, hope you're well, enjoy the vieos and common sense

a other good one simple camping

Interesting that you have moved to using rocks to support the fire bowl, as apposed to fitting the little feet that you have. Good idea. I also like the idea of a bivvy bag, this is what I always use, though not canvas. I think a canvas bivvy would be very heavy and defeat your trying to go light. What about a cotton cover of some description?

Another great video Giles. It seems Yews are everywhere you go! Can I ask what the pads are that you use for fire lighting. Cheers.

Giles just one mate,look at rangers sleep role or cowboy sleep role especially the ranger you can utilise what you've got hope this helps buddy love the videos keep them coming many thanks Mark 😊.

Another cracking video Giles. No whiskey this week?

Nice one Giles, just out of interest do you carry a first aid kit with you when wild camping, cheers iain..

Lovely Giles. Regarding your sleep system have you taken a look at the old Ozzie swag rolls not sure how heavy they are but the work like a bivvy bag but are usually made from cotton canvas I think the history is nearly everything is rolled and carried in the roll itself. I saw a chap called Scottys gone walkabouts KZfaq using the system. 👍

Great vid! Loving your minimalist ethic. What pot is that you are using please? I've been trying to find something similar for ages but no luck! All the best, Andy

On the bivouac subject have you looked at the oilcloth wool blanket lined swags you can get now, it's a non synthetic option for you? Still wondering what boots you have, are they haix?

In terms of saving weight have you thought about a mill bank bag, I have got one on order they don't contain any chemicals or plastics if ordering a new one.

What is the water bottle you carry on your belt ? Where did you get it from great bit of kit

Maybe you could take a wool blanket for sleeping under I know there heavy item but much better than a sleeping bag atb

Have you ever thought about getting a great kilt as it's just a huge woollen blanket at heart, there's a traditional Scottish KZfaqr who dose all sorts with natural resource the traditional way but it could give you a few good ideas for kit

Nearest thing to natural bivvy bag and waterproof that I have is made from Tyvek roofing paper.

Love watching you break wood between 2 close trees.I do this (& just stamping on branches too) way more than whipping out the fancy bushcraft saw that most KZfaqrs do! Isn't there some superstition about not sleeping near bluebells though?

what is your criteria for a pit stop and brew, and what is your criteria for stopping overnight? Just curious.

👍✌

Ha, cap cut. I gave my daughter my phone to play with, she put that on so I decided to mess around with it too. Don’t think I’ve watch one of your videos right to the end (or maybe this is the only one you’ve edited with cap cut!) Anyway, looks like you had a great time!

🖖‍

Some pretty trashed trees on this adventure. The wind on the South Coast can be so dangerous.

what did you yous to start the fire

If you're looking for some area to go wild camping come on over to Missouri in the United States we have over 6 million square kilometers of public owned land which is usable for dispersed camping, that's what we call wild camping.

Sterling.

That's some serious tree damage. I really like how you do your camp fires. You don't have to worry too much about fire embers with non-synthetics. Was that a rocket stove you happened upon? I love your stuff, very engaging videos, been following you a while and noticed I wasn't subbed ooops, just subbed, thanks for sharing your adventures, it is greatly appreciated.

Great channel and content a sub from me 😀👊👊👍👌❤️

Thanks great video and ime only 10 seconds in 😍😎😁
