Hello!!!
Another different one this week…
I went Solo Wild Camping on Grain tower Battery which is a tidal Sea fort that used to contain artillery guns to protect the river Medway and River Thames.
I will tell you more History about the place within the video.
I used the Fire Maple Maverick Wood Stove for the first time and I was impressed with how easy it was to put together and it’s ease of use… it was great for cooking and held my heavy cast Iron skillet with ease.
I cooked up some lemon chicken and slurped a few beers.
I was visited by a few people
Throughout the day and managed to stay undetected when I was up on the top by bringing the ladders up with me to stop people being able to get up.
It was great being “stranded” alone where I just shot some cans with my catapult and watched the river traffic going in and out of the Thames.
I had an awesome camp as usual and really enjoyed filming this one. I Really enjoy doing “out of the woods” camps as it gives me a little buzz.
Cheers as always for watching the videos it’s massively appreciated!!

No one is allowed to disturb me while I'm watching your latest video. I'm proper hooked. Thank you so much for all the effort you put in.
👌👌🔥💚
Subbed to this channel a long time ago just re discovered the channel I’m hooked again 💯👊🏾
2nd that ✌️
Hi Craig,
I grew up on Sheppey and worked in the Port of Sheerness throughout my 20s. Spent many a night shift looking over at that Fort, wondering what it would be like to camp in it. You have made my night!!
Check out the secret underground ww2 underground radio bunker at Hollingbourne in Kent. You'd love it. Some mental spiders down there though mate 😂
Thank you Craig - always a massive treat when a new clip drops….
Love the woodland based content but also the ‘specials’ ..abandoned boats …roundabouts (first clip I watched) …underground bunkers and now a sea fort Good to mix it up …classic content
Your down to earth delivery, sense of humour and genuine love for the outdoors once again proves that bushcraft/wild camping is something that’s accessible to all …top blackberry picking tips as well !!!
A guaranteed authentic experience every time - Legend! 🌲🔥🤙💯
Thanks so much for that awesome
Comment mate !! 💚💚💚💚🔥
I grew up in grain and have fished off it before, just be careful you don't get caught otherwise the coast guard come get you and take you back to sheerness
Why do they do that?
@@moorshound3243 its actually private property because someone owns it so its trespassing.
Only found your videos last month but I must say that me and the missus are now big fans, we watch your videos every evening whilst eating our tea! We are keen campers and your camp outs have inspired us to try stealth camping I am now scouring boot fairs picking up lightweight items to use. Keep on camping Craig you're an ace inspiration x
Thanks a lot guys really appreciate that !
I really enjoyed that. What an excellent video. Looks blissful when the tide finally rolls in. Subscribed!
Love your video,s.
I,m a veteran and suffer from PTSD and I built my own gypsy wagon on a caravan chassis and spend most of my time traveling about in it. ( Mainly to get away from my nasty neighbour). Used to wild camp with my daughter years ago up in Scotland.
Keep up the good work.
Awesome vid man and the grub looked fab.
Thanks for making this video, Craig! Always wanted to see Grain Tower Battery close up, having seen it in the distance my whole life
Love watching your uploads mate - Always a positive experience roaming around with you.
Awesome video Craig, super cool building 🎉🎉🎉
What a great vid bruv, Reminded me of when I was a kid going out an exploring the local forts an disused buildings, Great stuff! 👍😀
Thanks a. Lot mate 🔥👌👊
Awesome spot Mate 👌!!
Loving the camps always fun to watch FairPlay to you . Cracking job !!!
You had me at tidal military sea Fort.. ha ha
I know it well, walked out my self a couple of times, great to watch the ferry boats run in and around
You’re such a lovely guy , very genuine . I suffer from PTSD since my army days and I think what you’re doing for the cause is great. I’d love to do this type of thing again and talk about mental health . Great content and good vibes 😊😊
Thanks so much dude and keep on keeping on mate

Hi mate what a cracking video one of my favourites 👌thanks for sharing
Such an interesting piece of history too
CZcams recommendations doing well for once... This was a good watch!
Loved the blend of urban exploring and camping. Looked like a really cool spot!
👊👊👊
Mate this is awesome!! Fair play for going out there 👏 stay safe bro
thanks for going back and re doing this craig honestly your best solo loved it 🫡
Thanks a lot bud 💚👊
Haha😂😂 that knuckle dragger in the north face gilet lobbing that Boulder to impress his wenches.. priceless! 🍺
No wonder the pathway is in bits; it's gormless Twatts like him who are vandalising it.
What a cool place to stay! Thank you for sharing it with us! Solid choice on the Brewdog, they briefly had distribution here in Cali and I enjoyed every moment of it.
These are my favourite videos of you solo in unusual places... Reminds me when I first came to the channel ... Brilliant stuff
Thanks a lot mate
What a cool place to spend the night. Another great video!
Big respect for such doing this and making such an enjoyable video to watch.
Keep on keeping on and doing your thing. Peace and love!
👊👊💚
Great video, enjoyable viewing!
Good too see you back,always uplifting when we see a new video of yours being sent,cheer mate.
Appreciate that mate 👊
That was a really enjoyable bit of time out with you there, I like it when the tide comes in a sort of secure feeling about it and now your base, the traffic from the river constant and interesting and a just really good site with a bit of the chill about it , but i can see what you mean about the night-time shadows lol . very good one 5 *****💂
Thanks Peter ! 👊👊🫡
I love estuaries, so your film was a treat, thanks.
Quality mate, really enjoyed watching
That place looks so sick man...awesome views ov the surrounding area..some fya graff on there too..
That's crazy, I had work in Isle of Grain a couple years ago and frequently walked along the coast during my breaks and wondered what this sea fort was like! Brilliant vid mate
I've been lucky enough to climb around it and it really is very exciting to see
I really enjoyed your video. Whole place is that rusty looks like it is about to fall into the sea. When stealth camping I take the old 27 Trangia. Good in the wind and no smoke small and light weight.. Cheers Steve from Aus.
Well done thanks for the vid
Great vid again mate. Really enjoyed watching your adventure. Great stuff
Thanks buddy

Love this place many childhood memory's on grain fort when I lived out grain..never had the guts to camp out though..never used a ladder to climb up on the first bit though but I guess it's corroded a bit more as it's been almost 25 years since I last went out there..got to have the brewdog though top beer 🤣
I have spent two years on a bike with a trailer and my best freind and I stayed at a lot of churches now and again something random. A lot in east anglia. But a memorable night in Abbotsbury In an old Abbey. Really thick walls was amazing with my uke. Shhhhh open all night.

I come from the isle of grain originally, I first camped out there when I was ten. Plenty of fishing trips out there and was even shot in the head with an air rifle when I was 14. In fact in the same part you were camping.

Loved this Craig. I can imagine how spooky it must get with all those sounds and shadows playing tricks but I imagine you've been in much worse.

Thanks a lot mate 👊👊👊😎
Another top notch video dude please keep um coming 👍🙏👌💯
👊👊👊😎
Yes great place to visit , we have been out there our selfs and my mates have been night fishing out there , it is also reputed to be haunted so your not the only one who sees or hears things or just the isolation playing on your mind .
if you walk the Peddars, you must stay in Castle Acre, great little gem of a place.
Loved this video. What a brilliant place to camp... great location for your bed roll, behind those concrete barriers to stop you rolling off into the sea! cant believe you havent taken a fishing rod....
Cheers Barry !
Awesome video- my first time watching one of yours, can't even remember how I stumbled across your channel, but I'm glad I did! Would love to find out your story, will be sure to watch more. Subbed :)
Thanks a lot Jimmy mate 👊🤙😎
