Thanks very much Rob. Appreciate the kind thoughts. Yeah, all good here thank you, and still out and about although not always wild camping. The time taken to edit a video just got the better of me !!! So I stopped filming in the end. I hope you are well and getting out as much as possible. Cheers and take care 🏕️🔥👍

Thanks very much. Yeah, we can learn a lot from each other as we try various methods etc. All fine here thanks and I hope the same for you 🙂 Cheers 🏕️

Thanks and great to hear from you Arizona Dave. All fine here. Getting out as much as I can but a lot of it is family camping. And I’m not filming these days. I hope you are well my Friend. And that E scooter camping sounds interesting. I hope it goes well and the weather is kind for you. Cheers and take care 🇺🇸🇬🇧👍

Thanks Steven. Yeah, this is still probably my favourite fire setup. Hoping you are well too Buddy. Happy camping 🏕️👍

Thanks for touching base Steven and I hope you are well. I haven’t discovered that chap you mention on YT. But I do enjoy Kusk Bushcraft which is Canadian based I believe. Glad you are still enjoying the ‘old school vibe’ too Steven 👍 Cheers 🇺🇸🇬🇧

Glad you enjoyed it Charles- appreciate your comments thanks🔥

Not yet !!! Thanks for commenting Charles 👍

Thanks Robert - minimal kit is nice to take out I believe 👍🏕️🔥

Thank you Robert - sorry for the tardy response but your comment has only just appeared on my account 🤔 Cheers 🔥

Hi Dan. In this video the pot is a cheap 1.2L from eBay - but it does a great job and is robust too. Latterly I have had great success with a 750mm titanium pot which cuts down on weight and space but it is still possible to cook a meal (for one). Thanks for the comment too 🙂👍

@@gilesbinyon Hi Giles, thank you for getting back to me. Currently, I have purchased a .750ml stainless steel bush pot. I am thoroughly enjoying traveling lite but right. The only heavy item I now carry is my two(2) 1.5L smart water bottles. Thanks again, Giles.

Thanks very much Vincent. I don’t switch the phone camera on these days - I guess it is laziness - especially when it comes to the long time it takes me to edit a video. Cheers and happy camping 🔥🏕️👍

Hi Neil, sorry for such a late reply. I hope you’re finding the ‘easy feed fire’ useful. I certainly do - use it most of the time now. Have also found a cheaper style twig box stove in which longer sticks can be fed into - an even smaller version of the easy feed fire but requiring almost constant feeding unfortunately. Thanks for the comment and happy camping to you 🔥🏕️👍

@@gilesbinyon good to hear you're still using the easy feed. Out of interest which twig stove do you use now? I'll take a look. Neil

Hi Neil - hoping you are well. Yeah, I have had some success with the Chinese ‘af artisan’ which is just a titanium exact copy of the Lixada stainless steel. (These are the 128mm square base X 162mm height). The stainless steel version seems better quality but is, of course, heavier. Sadly they do need a lot of tending/feeding like all ‘box stoves’ - but longish sticks can be fed into the rather large feeding holes. Cheers - happy camping 🏕️👍

Hey thx very much Yeti Dodger. Always nice to hear from you and sorry slow reply. Hoping all good with you 🏕️🔥🌲🌳

Thanks very much Jeff and glad you liked the vids. Not sure I’ll switch on the phone camera so much though - the editing was becoming a pain. Appreciate the kind comment though. Take care 🌲🏕️👍

Thank you very much Vegan Wanderer and sorry slow reply. All fine here thanks. Yeah, this weather has been just so wet - it has deffo curtailed some camping. But I am lucky to be able to get out - but less wild camping alright. I hope this finds you and all yours well too. And thx for touching base - take care 🌲🏕️🔥👍

Thanks very much for those kind and positive words Will. And sorry for slow reply. Really glad you got something from the vids. Good luck with the ex-military gear. It is sometimes heavy compared to modern synthetics but often tougher and more suited to ‘bushcraft’ style camping. Cheers 🏕️🌲🔥👍

@@gilesbinyon No probs. And the military gear is often made of tough stuff... like the men who use it! 😂 Look after yourself and I'll catch you on the flip side 👍

Все хорошо, спасибо. Сейчас я не включаю камеру. Редактирование заняло очень много времени. Спасибо за комментарий и надеемся, что у вас тоже все хорошо. Ваше здоровье🔥🏕

Thanks John - sorry slow reply - I missed this comment. Yeah, in this video it’s a Yugoslav backpack/haversack from an eBay shop. Cheers 🌲🏕️👍

Thanks John. Hope you liked this one and I really like your wise words 😄👍Cheers 🏕️🌲

Hi there James, I hope you are well too my Friend. All fine here just not switching the camera on these days - sorry 🌲🔥🏕️

Hello again Neil. Yeah, the fire guard is just thin aluminium plate very similar the windshield/reflector. I made the 2 sheets approximately the same size as a windshield panel so they pack in the same little pouch. So about 25cm by 8cm. Cut them a little longer to allow to bend the ends around an M5 bolt or heavy nail. Then you can thread a cut-down barbecue skewer (20cm) through each end to secure to the ground. You can spray them green if you like too (stove paint for the heat). Cheers 🔥🏕️

Ha ha !!! Hi Oliver, thx for the comment. Not sure about switching on the camera ….although it’s tempting because I’m always trying to upgrade and improve things 🏕️🔥🌲👍

Thanks Nick - all fine here and hoping all good with yourself too. I’m not filming these days manly due to the editing time. It sometimes crosses my mind to switch on the camera as I am still learning and updating. But doubt it at the moment. Thx for the very nice comment 😃🔥🏕️👍

@@gilesbinyon hi my old mate, really pleased to hear back from you. I know what you mean about the editing time it takes an age that’s why I never film anything. Bit more news I’ve bought a camper van lol. It’s for the wife really, I take my camping gear and leave her on a site for a few days then I go off on my own lol this way I get best of both worlds no earache of the wife and camp in my tent on my own all over the country I love it. Anyway take good care my friend and stay safe.

@@nickollerenshaw2883Ha ha !!! Actually we got a Camper late last year too !!! Not sure I’m brave enough to go off wild camping and leave my good lady in the van 😂 !!! Sounds like you’ve got a great plan there though !!! Enjoy and take care Bud 🏕️👍

Hey Neil thx for watching the vids. Yeah, the frame for the sticks is just a couple pcs of 28cm long, M5 threaded bar. One end of each is filed to a blunt point and also a couple of wing-nuts screwed on each too. The cross support pc is a 20cm bit of strap spring steel (any steel bar reasonably stiff would do). A couple of 6mm slots close to each end allows the threaded bar to attach and fix by tightening the wing-nuts 😊👍🔥🏕️

Thank you kindly Martin - appreciated 😊🌲🏕️🔥

Thanks very much. I just tried to shake things up a bit with this one. Thank you for the nice comment - appreciated 🔥🌲👍

Thanks very much. All fine here although not turning on the camera these days. Glad you enjoy the vids thx for letting me know 🏕️🌲👍

Thank you very much for the comment. Yeah, a lot of sad news from around the world. And yes, a night without a sleeping bag or wool blanket is possible with some woollen clothing and keeping close to a small fire. Although regular tending of the fire does result in a disturbed night sleep 🫤🌲🔥🏕️

Thank you very much for that kind comment. Sorry I haven’t turned the camera on for a long while. Cheers 🌲🏕️🔥

Thanks @lisah9394 🫤???

Thx John 🌲

Thanks very much Dan and sorry for the slow reply. All fine here thanks. And I’m very happy if the videos may have given you a few ideas. Thanks very much and happy trails to you too 🏕️🔥🌲👍

That’s very kind indeed. Thanks Dan. Cheers 🏕️🔥👍

Thanks for touching base Adrian. All fine here thank you and hoping the same with you and yours too Bud. I haven’t got out as much recently but amongst other things the weather a few weeks ago was atrocious (wet) here in the south. It seems harder to find the opportunity when it’s like that. It finally dried up but now more rain. But I am lucky that I still get out even if sometimes just a day. I really hope you manage a trip out soon - good luck and thanks again my Friend 🏕️🔥🌳🌲

So sorry I missed this and such a late reply. Yeah, I’ve not been filming lately mainly due to the time it takes to edit 🫤 Thanks for the comment tho 👍🏕️

I totally understand. Thank you for replying. I will look forward to any future videos you may release. I enjoy your videos and the values they present to the viewers. Thank you so much.

Thanks very much John - always appreciate the comments. Not sure when or if I’ll switch on the camera again yet. But all fine this end thank you. And hoping likewise for you and all yours. Cheers 🌲🔥🥾👍

Thank you so much Mr Dug-Out ! And sorry for such a delayed reply. All fine here thx and still up to similar stuff although the weather has made everything a bit awkward last six months or so. But yeah, not filming and this has freed up time it would take for editing/uploading. Not sure if/when I’ll switch on camera again but really appreciate your kind words and I hope this finds you well and able to get out as much as possible 🥾🥾👍

Glad all ok . Enjoy getting out and about.

Thanks very much GreenFingers. Yeah, all okay thank you. Just not filming recently as I can’t justify the editing - takes a long time to put together even just half hour video 🫤 Appreciate you touching base though ⛺️🔥🌲

Thanks very much Bill, appreciate you watching. Sorry I haven’t been able to switch on the camera recently. The main thing is the time it takes to edit even just a half hour vid. But all is well thanks and I hope the same with you. Cheers 🇺🇸🇬🇧🌲⛺️

Thanks very much Marty and sorry for the tardy response. Yeah, just can’t trust beech sometimes - wind or even no wind !!! But when you think about the odds …. hmmm …. shark attack….struck by lightning…. etc. But of course, it’s just that nagging feeling in the back of one’s mind - isn’t it 🤔🫤??? Cheers 🔥⛺️🌲🌲🌲🌲

Ha ha !!! That sounds like a good idea to me David 👏👍🌲⛺️🔥. Sorry I’m not turning the camera on these days. And sorry such a slow reply too ! Cheers 👍

Thanks very much Allen. Yeah, all fine here thx. Hoping likewise with you and yours too. Not sure when I’ll be turning the camera on - sorry 🫤 Happy new year ⛺️🔥👍

Thanks very much Dean and sorry for this tardy response. Wiltshire and Gloucestershire are beautiful indeed. I guess you are abroad now ? but hope you still manage camping trips. I’m not sure when I’ll be switching on the camera again I’m afraid. The time editing etc was taking too long as I’m pretty rubbish at it !!! Thx again and all the best to you and yours too. Cheers 👍😃🌲⛺️

Thanks for touching base Jon. All fine here. And I hope this finds you well too. Sorry I can’t be sure if I’ll upload more videos. Thanks for wanting to watch though - it’s most kind to let me know this. Take care 🔥🌲⛺️

Thanks Badhat - sorry I’m not sure if I will upload another video 🫤 Cheers 🌲🔥⛺️

Thanks for making the comment Mick. I didn’t specifically do a video about the kit I usually use. But I did one based on a heavier cold weather setup. Also one about the Zeltbahn or Plash Palatka shelter set ups I usually use. Just take a look if you think they will help your set up. Good luck 🌲⛺️👍
