Overnight Forest Camp in a Hot Tent. Wood Stove Tent Heater. Chinese Pork and Fried Noodles.

In this video, I head I am out for a New Years solo overnight camp in the woods in my hot tent. A nice hike up the Peddars Way brings me to a secluded pine forest where I can reset amongst the hushed trees.
After setting up my tent and tent heater, I collect firewood and process it down just as the light begins to fade and the rain starts. A delicious dinner of Chinese style pork and fried noodles, washed down with a couple of strong beers and Im ready to crawl into my sleeping bag.
Morning brings brighter weather, coffee and black pudding for breakfast before packing up and heading back the way I came.
A delightful night out in the woods - just what was needed after my Christmas break.
I hope you enjoy the video.
Thanks for watching.

hello Simon! Due to my illness I can hardly leave the house! You probably won't read this message! But I want to say a big thank you for your videos! I'm Portuguese, 44 years old, a widower with 3 children and I'm on daily dialysis because I'm waiting for a kidney transplant! With your videos I can travel! I can smell nature! With your videos I can hope that tomorrow will be better! THANK YOU SIMON

Strange watching you guys camping without a sealed up tent inner. Here in Australia you would likely end up spending the evening with critters that can kill you by looking sideways at you.

Happy New Year Simon!! Your meal looked wonderful. You, Andy and a few others prove that camp food doesn't have to be a can of beans a some bread. which is great if that's what one wants! But really it 's all about how much effort one wants to put into a meal. Thanks for sharing your overnight adventure with us!! Can't wait to see your canoe trip in a couple of weeks! I love those adventures! Stay safe, warm and healthy!

Glad you're on the mend, and I hope your wife starts to feel better soon! One Christmas several years ago, when my children were very young, I had a terrible dose of the flu. All I could do was like down as still as possible. Christmas basically ground to a halt that year because I was the kingpin that made everything happen. I felt so sorry for my boys that year!
