I'm 53, Live in Colorado, have a VERY generous work schedule. You tell me when and where, I'm there (as long as it doesn't interfere with my work schedule).

I'm 67 and still able, a bit arthritic and afraid of when I can't but these cool vids will do better than nutin I'm hoping cause I love them most every night!

90 years young.. taks a few youngins with yah.. and get out there brother!

Albert sir, can u shed light...wht u feel at 90? shud u have traveled more...? what shud v at 30 do more?

The fact you are watching KZfaq & commenting is amazing my Dad is 75 & I cannot get him to stop watching the same old rubbish on normal TV? I say to him you have been watching the same program for 30 years!!! KZfaq has whatever you want. He doesn't even have the Internet doh.

Cheers Jeff! Yes, it does take a bit longer to do stuff - sometimes I just wish I had 5 cameras, set them up at different angles and let them run!! I enjoy the filming though! Even the editing! Tb, Simon.

sorry to be off topic but does someone know a method to get back into an instagram account?? I was dumb forgot my login password. I would appreciate any tricks you can give me

@Collin Immanuel instablaster =)

@Enrique Dario thanks for your reply. I found the site thru google and im trying it out now. I see it takes a while so I will reply here later when my account password hopefully is recovered.

@Enrique Dario It did the trick and I finally got access to my account again. Im so happy! Thank you so much you really help me out :D

@Collin Immanuel no problem =)

Thanks Sal!! When the Zombies come, you know where to find me!! Xx

Thank you!! Really glad you enjoyed it! Your comments are a real encouragement!! Atb, Simon.

Thank you! I’m really glad you enjoyed it - the trout and rice was really very good - a shame I didn’t have any soy or a nice miso to go with it!! 😁 cheers, Simon.

Hi

??? You surprise me!!! Why on earth would anyone see it as beneath them???

Not sure who Craig Ferguson is, but thank you? 😁

Cheers Martin - thanks for joining me!! It was a superb weekend! Atb, Simon.

Cheers Stuart! I thoroughly enjoyed the weekend - it was an amazing experience and a real test for me!! Hunter Gatherer next perhaps!! Atb, Simon.

Thanks Sandy, it was a great weekend and the rain definitely added to it, not only as a test for my shelter but also for the atmosphere! Atb, Simon.

Now that is a great idea! Takes ages otherwise doesn’t it!! 👍

Hahaha - yep, planty was the best adjective I could muster up at the time!! Glad you enjoyed it Andy, Atb.

Thanks Frank! That was some experience - you did well - survived in style despite the conditions!! That’s the real test isn’t it, when you are forced into a very real situation where your wellbeing and even your life is at stake, pulling experience, knowledge and your wit together to get through - and in relative comfort!! Even with modern electronic devices, you still need those skills - it’s sadly all to often that folk go off into the mountains etc without even a map or basic emergency kit, relying on GPS and their phone - only to find that the cold has shot the GPS batteries and they have no phone signal!! Thanks for the story Frank, I shall remember it! Atb, Simon.

The water source was meant to be fuller than it was - it was an artificial pond, but leaked. To be honest, it’s real to the sort of circumstance you might find yourself in, the objective was to make the most of what we had and source what we needed from what we could find around us. The water situation was unfortunate, but we managed. 👍💦

Cheers Ray - indeed it is - by far my favourite tinder! Couldn’t believe my luck when I spotted a downed birch tree! Atb, Simon.

Also Everything They Do Is Worse For Them Not You Also something Will Happen Which Will Give You Payback So all You Have To do is Sit And Watch It Happen". (I Did Not Believe That)That I Had A Virus Since 2019 On top Of The 7 Yrs Illness I Endured Despite No Help..The Issues We Describe Existed Prior To The World Virus and Are being Maintained. That Virus Has Not Made One Scrap Of Difference To The Wrong Doing..No Apology Has Been Received.The Scandle Includes The Refusal to To Respond By Among Others M Hancock As a West Suffolk HM MP and As a Human Being At His Cottage In Fornham Suffolk (Where Cover ups Are Going On Re Suicides Etc) Re Me being Left To Die By The Medical Establ And Issues Even More Serious Than That. No Hospital Mngt Has Ever Responded In UK.. You Will Find Below Some Holistic Thinking Which Is Every Bit As Important As a Man Who Enjoys Roughing It For A few Days. As usual for most of the films being presented on the net, at first everything seems true and factual but, after seeing about five episodes we start thinking and, gaps start apopearing in the sequences. This person "a bloke in a wood" seems congruent,is a good communicator and is compent at what he appears to do. We have,ourselves done slightly similar things. Here are our comments about what we see as the unexplained.- You will not be able to eat quantities of Woodruffe as part of a diet because its a mild poisen and has medicinal qualities. Look up cleavers too. The meat he is consuming wont survive any warm weather for that about three days without refrig. The pheasant he is shown plucking needs a lot more preparation than that shown. When we did some of that activity I became extremely ill and had to summon help, how would this man get that on "an island" somewhere in Norfolk. There was no indication of a mobile phone. We reckon this film is not some bloke roughin it and taking a few pictures. The effort has been intensly edited and gives the impression of professional media skills not just a carpenter, joiner out for a few days. For instance the impression was given of him being all alone wirth a dog yet someone was walking alongside him filming him whilst walking about also he was filmed from the shore paddling a canoe and so on. We note his careful covering of any signs of a camp fire and other measues taken to "preserve the environmrent". however we have just discovered deception taking place within the establ re planning anf environment issues. We refer to build construction taking place in rural areas which flaunt the regulations. We have been sent bogus paperwork by Local Govt which aims to circumvent the regulations. Some of that paperwork has had names inked out.The firm who is supposed to inspect the build work is paid by the developer and refuses to confirm the legality of the build work. The Local Govt Dept wont communicate directly but gets a Patsy to send the bogus papers.. They have now cut off comms completely. The Lab Party HM MP in the area Bristol where the Govt Build Inspectorate Office is was told to act and sent back a pre printed mail which proves he never read what we have sent him. He is of course yet another "lawyer".We then asked the Govt Inspectorate at Bristol to act. That Dept under the wing of Dept Of Communities which is supervised by the ex Chrities Art auctions "lawyer" Minister Genrick HM MP Newark. We looked around Genricks Constituency areea Notts and have found deception going on at Notts Uni. Police Commission. Local Govt. HM Courts.Media and other HM MPs. As usual the whole thing proipped up by the Sport.Art.Drama.Hobby crazy public and media.None of these Depts or individuals will respond. Genricks office includes the character Mr Pickles who never ever replies to any information sent incl that of us being told this by Local Govt- " If Theres Anything Wrong with Local Govt The Public Must Go Get Themselves A Lawyer". and "We dont Have ideas Put Into Our Heads By The Public". Instead of replying re the evidence sent to him Pickles photo appeared in national press accompanying that was huge article about the price of his biscuits and his body weight. The evidence now includes anomalies going on within 24 Local Govt Orgs.

PART TWO.The man whose survival film we are commenting on announces he lives in Norfollk, he does not seem to have any accent. We already are well aware of deception going on within the East Anglia Press and Media and the Police HQ Wymondham and at the County Council which is run by ex Haringey Council executive. It was that area of London (Haringey) we investigated re the cover up in the Mental Health (MH) system which now is indicted re about 30.000 avoid deaths over period 35 yrs. The Local govt boss in this area also hails from Haringey and wont responde re any issue whatsoever incl electoral and tax and wellfare. Eight Social Services staff wont respond despite my lying here fot 7 yrs screaming in agony every nite. I got no competent help. All of the wrong doing we have discovered is fully supported by the Local Press system. We were told this by that system- "Nothing That you Have Discovered Can Ever By Put Into Print". The Police have told us that none of the evidence must be read by public. They have used violence to attempt to stop this disclosure they are encouraged by HM Religion which is behind the MH scandle.. The HM Court system offered to kill us. Norfolk also connected with Mr Lamb liberal Party at n- Walsham. No reply from him or anyone in that area. The Lib Party is also implicated re the MH scandle and behind all that is the BBC and Clegg. The Party destroys legal documents. The BBC said- "Hide The Evidence Abroad".Lets get back to the survival hobbist Simon. Apparently loads people write to him fom all over the place and even send money too. How can that be, we have sent wellk over 1000 mails re spending.avoid deaths. violent attacks on ourselves.health electoral.environment. victims at their last gasp and so on and theres no replies. F-book and Twitter destroy mails and accoiunts and Yahoo was caught blocking mail. We now know that 26 HM MPs are using evasion and deception. The one in this area is an ex Primary School Teacher who was employed by the Local Govt who are doing the cover ups re Planning and Environmement. She states this- "This Area is a Wonderful Place To Live".Theres been 1000s suicides here. Railtrack is implicated and wont respond.We wrote to the local HM MP 6 months ago and she wrote this in reply- "I Have Given Your Text to Me Team". Her photo apears on a Parish Council site. No one in that area will respond about anything.No reply was ever recd from 50 Parish Councils.. That HM MPS area is involved with the HM religion that the Police said "Want You Silenced". It is funded by private enterise round here.And so on. Kent? Largest Law Uni in Europe.They wont wont communicate re the death threats have recd from Cent London Courts or the anomalies within the HM bar Council and CPS etc. 30pp Fax sent to the Court System in this area has not benn responded to by dialogue. All a HM MP is obliged to do for you is send a "reply". That can be three words typed by an employee whose full identity is not revealed. Or worse than that, the reply will comprise a pre printed handout telling you how wonderful the HM MP is but no reference to what you have sent because the lawyers have told the HM MP not to write But meanwhile what you sent will be used for self gain by them. Mecanwhile we get Police attacks for saving lives and ten people two miles away get funded by Lottery Board. for "Watching Movies" By the way, what does Simon and the Dog use as a toilet. Most dogs we know go around marking their territory but not this one. We say this- The total obsession with Hobbies and Charities and the formation of 1000s mal funded affinity groups wont reform the decline in the UK and Europe.It was the same situation in 1933 Germany. The EEC Brussels say this- "Nothing Can Be done To Stop Corruptn As The EEC Is Only Interested In Money Not People" The BBC said-"Hide The Evidence Abroad". We have another question for Simon and that is who are the huge group of about 50 people depicted during your film. Our other question is this- We here because of suppression and attacks live in poverty and work 7 days a week 52 weeks a year. Despite that we find time to expose what we know and have the courage to demand justice.

Thanks Mark! Glad you enjoyed it - it was a superb weekend! Atb, Simon.

Thanks David, glad you enjoyed it! It was a great experience for me, a real test of what I’d learnt put into practice in a controlled situation. The woodland was stunning too! I like the clip of the six of us walking in too - we all carried much the same kit, or variations of it, the packs make it look like more, but the kit we could could take was limited to just a few basic Items. The rest we had to find or make. Great fun!! I’m looking forward to doing the next challenge now! Atb, Simon.

Cheers! It certainly was a great experience - the good grub definitely helped too!! Glad you enjoyed it. Atb, Simon.

Me too! I need to learn to fish! Atb, Simon.

Thanks Chris! Thanks for joining me!! It was amazing! As was the grub! Atb, Simon.

Haha - 50 minutes on occasion! 😂

Thank you! It was a great challenge! 👍

Mmmmm 😋😁

Cheers Terry! We were really lucky - the food part of the equation was removed really, so we only had to focus on the other elements of wilderness survival, a real bonus!! The emphasis was bushcraft rather than survivalism. Cheers! Simon.

I was longing for pheasant, fish and sweet corn I can tell you!! 😂

Cheers mate, it was an amazing weekend - I leaned quite a lot about myself haha! Atb, Simon

Cheers Pete! Glad you enjoyed!! In hindsight, I wish I had just skinned it - it was a pain to pluck and I ended up tearing the skin anyway!! I wanted the fat intact which is why I did, but really, I could have just scraped the fat from the skin!! You live and you learn!! Atb mate, Simon.

Cheers James! I wish I’d tried that at the time - I mostly ended up skinning the poor girl anyway - it just tore as I plucked!! I’ll know for next time!! That sounds like a nice, efficient technique. Thanks for the tip!! 👍 Atb, Simon.

That's a fantastic time-saving tip, James. Makes for a much cleaner bird, and less feathers in your stew ; ) Thanks for sharing.

Thank you Chris! The shelter very much evolved as the weekend went on, but certainly performed well - the rain was the proof of the pudding - I was quite comfortable! I was really pleased with the raised bed too, as you said, I’d have been cold sleeping on the ground that’s for sure - next time, I’d get some more soft material on top, it wasn’t bad, but could have been better! I tell you, that pheasant was amazing - a real treat!! The fat was a boost and I’m sure helped keep the cold at bay through the night!! Thanks for watching and thanks for the comments! Cheers, Simon.

Cheers Mark! Glad you enjoyed it - top weekend!! Atb, Simon.

Thanks Dave! Atb, Simon.

Haha - thanks woods!! To be honest, after a couple more days, I’d have started growing stuff in my veg patch and made a washing line - that wood was so nice I’d have been quite happy staying there!! It was a great weekend! Atb, Simon.

Cheers Andy! I’ve decided I need to start shooting, just so I can have a regular supply of pheasant! Thanks mate! Atb, Simon.

Haha! Not quite my usual joinery standard, but served a purpose!! Glad you enjoyed it!!! 😁

Thanks - glad you enjoyed it! It was a superb weekend. Atb, Simon.

Thank you - neither have I!! I had to make something up as I have a memory like a fish!! The log needs to be heavier than the one I used and another log on the ground would create a better ‘anvil’ effect, but it worked okay! Thanks buddy! Atb, Simon.

Thanks! Glad you enjoyed it - it was an amazing experience - I learned a lot! Cheers, Simon.

Cheers Travis. Atb, Simon.

Simon, a bloke in the woods This video really makes me long for some Dirt Time. Can't wait for this ice to move off the yard. Thanks again for posting this adventure.

Thanks! Glad you enjoyed it - it’s the first course/challenge I’ve been on and I really enjoyed it - it was a good test and I learnt a lot too (Like smuggle in a rake next time!! Lol!) Atb, Simon.

Cheers Al! The weather added to the experience really - a test for my shelter! It was a great weekend. Atb, Simon.

Cheers Alan, I was surprised how much footage I managed to get when I got home to edit!! Glad you enjoyed it!! Atb, Simon.

Thanks David!

Thank you - glad you enjoyed it! 😁

Thanks! It was a great weekend, I learned a lot! Really glad you enjoyed it!! Cheers, Simon.

Linnee Ka

Cheers Scott! Yes, it was good fun! Hopefully, they’ll let me know if it’s still standing when the instructors are back up there in October. Atb, Simon.

Thank you Kitty! It was great fun! Atb, Simon
