The Lake District - Camping In Nature's Backyard - Part Two
Vložit
- čas přidán 10. 09. 2021
- The adventure continues as Country House Gent, having previously arrived at the nature reserve, now pitches his tent and settles down for a much needed "good night's kip".
Rising early the next morning and with hunger calling, CHG must first build a fire, involving much snapping, hauling and chopping, of the various items he needs.
Now having well and truly developed an appetite, it just remains to assemble the campfire, before cooking one of his favourite breakfasts - Smoked Manx Kippers, with crusty toast and butter.
Later and with his belly filled, he takes a moment to walk-off the hearty meal, admiring the scenery, wild flowers and picking blackberries.
We then leave CHG as he snoozes under a shady tree - probably dreaming about what he'll be cooking for dinner . . . next time . . .

CHG Viewers,
I read/skimmed the comments and some are complimentary, encouraging, and supportive. I was stunned at the number of negative, critical, and sarcastic comments. One person even called himself the “turd in the punch bowl” because he was making a negative comment. Who gets pleasure from self-identifying that way? I don’t understand. How do some people feel free to discourage someone who put time and effort into making a new video for us to enjoy?
Kevin is not in competition with himself or anyone else. It’s not Aslan vs Nature Reserve or Nature Reserve vs other camping videos. CHG kindly gives his viewers a gift of his creativity, time, and humor. If you don’t like a video, be quiet and keep scrolling. If you like only one thing about a video then compliment that one thing.
For me, Travels by Narrowboat, Travels by Motorbike, and all other CHG productions are a few minutes of peace and pleasure that I eagerly look forward to. Lately, most all of the news contains negativity, criticism, and sarcasm. Let’s keep this channel a peaceful and positive place. Blessings 🌿
well said , beth
@@jamesskelton6744 Thanks James. 🙂
Hey, Beth. If you're in AZ, we could be related!😁
@@laknox88 Not quite lol. I’m a few states over in MS. 🙂
@@HappyMom2Girls I have a cousin Beth in Prescott AZ. She's a children's author.
I have GOT to get one of those backpacks! More room inside than I’ve ever seen before! Good on ya Kevin!
Yes he must have got a small lawn mower in there to cut the grass around his campsite .
That empty backpack in part 1 sure holds a lot of kit. It's like Felix the cat's magic bag.
Ha or Snoopy's doghouse.
Bravo-the CHG is so much more than Aslan. There’s something soul affirming about these new vlog experiences-loved all the effort! The physical toll of camping with the reward of solitude and nature, perfect. Loved the Giant axe-You’re brilliant. Looking forward to more!
Thank you so much Lobster. Couldn't have put it better myself. 😊
We so like your 3 vlogs, your cooking meals, we could taste those kipper’s toast and the sausage, and the beer well, we can only dream many thanks for sharing🙏✝️🕊🙏🇨🇦
Something very Primeval and satisfying about lighting a fire in the wild
Absolutely LOVE both videos and you nailed it with the music, so cool there is original music to choose from. You've the man, water or land...the filming is sublime and you are so fun to watch! A smile on my face throughout! Keep filming Kevin :)
Wonderful, Lanie, thank you. Great to hear some heartfelt appreciation. Cheers for watching.
As usual fun to watch! Loved the music beautiful and relaxing! Thanks
I would have been SO tempted to take my food to where those rocks were!😳. And you have a Tardis rucksack, wonderful!
You bring sanity back in my life Kevin. Thank you.
Well I'd call that 'mission accomplished.' You're very welcome, cheers
Your videos are so fun, love your sense of humor - good to see some fun camping 👍🏼👍🏼
This was very entertaining. Loved when you pulled the ax out of your backpack and chopped wood. Then pulling out the grill and cookie sheet. But when the butter caught fire, I was rolling with laughter. Thanks!
Love your videos Kevin! Thanks so much!
You are one creative entering chap. The backpack that keeps giving up goodies, cracks us up. Until next time, can’t get enough. Leslie
Just have to say thank you. Being from western PA USA this is the only way for me to view England. Really like Aslan and the cut but getting to see other areas too and yes we camp much the same way, I actually have the same coleman stove but we do it on a canoe or kayak. Thanks again so much for showing other areas. As always keep having fun.
Good to hear Rick. You're very welcome.
Brilliant I can’t wait to try kippers ha 👍
Kevin, my dear intrepid mate, I must say the Lake District looks like a fine place for a bit of quality shore leave both beautiful and relaxing. Your camping skills are worthy of the praise. I dare say, Bob Baden-Powell himself would give his nod on your efforts. In passing, I should also mention your notion of humor tickles my fancy as well. LOL
9:34 I just love your enchanted backpack, it’s like Hermione’s purse. You are so creative!
Here in the states Ive seen 22 clowns come out of a tiny car at a circus...,your nap sack reminded me of it.I loved every moment of your video. You are an amazing artist,adventurist, hats off to you.
When I was in the Guides, we used to cut an H shape in the grass and roll back the turves and lay the fire on the soil. Then, when the fire was done and out we would roll the turves back in order to leave no (or very little) trace. Also, presumably, the ash would fertilise the grass from underneath. Safer to light a fire on soil rather than grass, however green it looks. Just a thought for next time you are laying a campfire. Enjoyed your little adventure. 👍
@@gordonburns8731 in his next episode he leaves the remains of the fire behind and runs away….and he was preaching “leave no trace”. Shame on him! I trust that he went back to clear up but not a very good example to set.
Brings back very special memories of when we used to go camping, best days of our life, love seeing you do something a little different Kevin, but I'm waiting to see you break out that bike!
Once again a breath of fresh air watching you, your looking well Kev x
Thank you Pammi. There's something very liberating and grounding about being right in the middle of nature. No one else. No noise or air pollution. Feeling good thank you, must be the sunshine and country air. 🙂
@@CountryHouseGent totally understand that Kev, sometimes we just need to be by ourselves and take in the surroundings .....and breath...charge the batteries....take care till next time x
I've got to get me one of those back packs. I was amazed at how much you packed into such a small light bag. Especially the Axe and hatchet not to mention the fire grate ect. Good show.
Hope you are enjoying your adventure as much as I have watching it . Thanks Kevin
You are a man of great patience Kevin. Such a great effort foraging, building your fire and cooking your breakfast! That was a beautiful sunset you videod the night before too Kevin. And I recognised the wildflowers - they are some of a great many wildflowers that flowered profusely in the waste ground next door this summer. It was a good year for wildflowers. And I was quite envious of you picking blackberries (or do you call them brambles?) I fondly remember having a day out with my family to pick blackberries, eat a picnic lunch and swim in the river. Ah! Childhood memories. Looking forward to watching Part Three. Thank you Kevin. All the best from Connie. 🤗
Your backpack reminds me of our Canadian Mr. Dressup with his tickle trunk of treasures, endless items that would pop outta that too! lol Love your relaxing videos from Princeton BC Canada
Love the video, Kevin! I’ve never been camping so this is interesting to me. You had a great set up with cooking your food. And what a cute tent! As I’ve said before, you’re very skilled and talented at editing. I like the way you faded in and out and I realized later how much of an effort that must have been to walk past your camera then have to turn around and go get it. I appreciate the time and creativity you invest in your viewers. You also inject humor with your adorable facial expressions. 😊 Thank you! Take care. 🌿
Thank you Beth for commenting how much you enjoy viewing and the other comment as well, which I've pinned to the top. Cheers, 🤗
Watching the series now . I'm jealous , can't do anything like this here in Texas . Enjoy !
I have truly enjoyed you and Aslan on your journeys and I thank you from here in Texas. But there was something so lovely about this walking and camping video that was special to me. I discovered the Arthur Ransome Swallows and Amazons series as an adult, so I feel you have taken me on a journey of my own, and I needed it. So, I thank you.
Another fantastic video! Thanks👍😁
Simply, just fabulous!!! Could almost smell the kippers cooking. Thanks, Kevin, for sharing your lovely trip to the Lake District. Safe travels....
CHG - very enjoyable video. My wife and I watched it yesterday evening. Got a huge UH OH when the butter lighted up! But the kippers looked good! Keep sending them out, we’ll keep enjoying them.
That magic backpack is incredible...
Indeed it's very capacious. 😁🙂
Great video again Kevin. Manx kippers are the best. I liked the sunset too. The country blues music reminded of the computer game Rebel Galaxy.
Thank you Andrew. Haven't heard of that game before. I'll look it up.
Very enjoyable. I loved the music and weather looks fabulous. My mouth was watering so badly watching you eat those delicious kippers. Thank you for continuing to entertain us xxx
You're welcome Whitty, thank you.
Excellent! I’m loving the fun atmosphere Kevin! Great job!
Very happy to hear that, Jeremy. These videos are all about fun to me as well.
You have reminded me of all the reasons I don’t like ⛺️ camping 🔥.. I did enjoy watching you do it all from the comfort of my recliner… anyhow… nice to view your adventure.. thank you 💜
Loving the soundtrack on these videos, happy camping!👍👍👍
Cheers Mike
Love this! Living vicariously through CHG!
Great fun! I could just feel the heat coming off the fire.🔥Thanks for taking us along!!!
Thanks Robin. Yes, it was almost unbearable at times, not helped by the 3 day 'extra heatwave' we had. Sweltering.
CHG…..So enjoyed your tasteful way of making this video! The music choice was snappy and fun!
❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Thank you Jody.
Let's have a breakfast of fish
A really tasty dish
I fancy a kipper or two
So yummy do you ?
Out in nature's green
An awesome scene
I love seeing your camping videos. They are fun, beautiful & relaxing. If I want total reality, I'll go camping myself. Have done so many times. These are fun. Thanks Kevin!
Another great video , these last two videos have been great , especially the magic rucksack. Keep up the great vlogs and I look forward to the next 👍
Brilliant to hear that Tony. Nice to have a bit of variety. Mix it up once in a while.
Kevin, thanks for taking us camping. That was a lot of work to cook. Always entertaining. Loved it!
Cheers Bruce. Yes it's a good way to build an appetite
@@CountryHouseGent Ha, ha. I was sweating, just watching you.
Looking forward to more content sir.
I just caught these camping video you did today, and I love it. Thank you for bringing me with you on your camping adventure all the way in England with the fantastic scenery.
Great to hear that Sheridan. You're very welcome. 🙂
After all that work I bet you were very hungry for breakfast 🤤 that a good work out , glad to see it ❗️
Very true and was sweating buckets, as you can see by the front of my hat.
Thank you for crediting the musicians! I’m doing a very similar thing over on my other channel. Loving every minute of it!
I can only assume a mountain bike couldn't fit in your kit. ENJOYED.
Indeed, even that rucksack had it's limits. 😉😆
What a GREAT relaxing video. Do I HAVE to get up now, or go and Chill out underneath that tree ?
Maybe a nice 20 mile hike, ......... Naaah !
Just Chill out.
What great relaxing Music as well. I thought, that it was you playing !
More please !
Stu xx
Ah decisions decisions. Happy to hear you're enjoying the little 'mini series', Stuart. 🤗
Ive been camping in the wilds of Northern California since I was very young...and lived for years in a secluded part of Idaho..
You would do well in the wilds of Northern Idaho.."cudos"to your survival tactics...😉 happy to see that hugging tree once again..😁
Great looking vitals there. I could almost smell the aromas..yum!!! Thanks Kevin..looking forward to the next time...😊
Thank you Susan. So many idyllic sounding places and place names in the US I would love to visit, possibly one day.
@@CountryHouseGent I do hope your able to come ..and please keep Bonners Ferry Idaho in mind..its a beautiful area with hundreds of sq. miles of wildernes..You would enjoy it!!😊
Well done! Your videos are so creative! Looking forward to more virtual explanations with CHG. Cheers!
Love these camping videos Kevin, and the Lake District is soooooo beautiful. Keep up the good work, looking forward to the next instalment. Stay safe
Regards
Pete
🤣👏 oh boy, those delicious Manx kippers, nothing can beat them 👍🇮🇲. Great stuff Kevin 🌟 Joan
Thank you Joan
Ooh and I've just made a cuppa. Perfect timing 😎👍
Ah ha, same here Pete. ☕
Getting away from it all is a luxury.....enjoyed.
Excellent idea! So glad your back ! Thoroughly enjoyed it!
That was interesting & very enjoyable watch Kevin.......them Kippers looked delicious.......stay safe......thanks for sharing
No pretentiousness here, just honest simple ( even if it is staged) boyish adventure in nature.. Loved every minute of it. Technically quite an achievement for one person.. Thanks to Kevin alias CHG!
I really want kippers for breakfast, a real pleasure to watch.
We really must invite you to come camp in Texas! No way would you kneel, sit, stand or sleep in our ground -- unless, of course, you don't mind being devoured by fire ants. We love your gentler countryside.
Ha, I'm always up for a challenge Marilyn. We do have biting ants over here but our always ask permission first before doing so. :D
Enjoyed that thanks for sharing.
Once again the backpack does not disappoint!
The pack of plenty. 🤗
Thank you for another very nice video, I really enjoyed being outdoors even if it’s just vicariously through you. What a beautiful place she went camping to. I would imagine that mastering a campfire breakfast requires a little more frequent practice. You reminded me of myself as the better slipped off the side! Thank you for the chuckle, and the music, and all around a really great video.
Yikes! I should have proof read before posting! Sorry about that.
Thank you
Pretty cushy digs for camping. Things have come a long way from a simple sleeping bag on a pile of pine needles. Great video and the cinematography is great. The trees in the distance from your campsite make it look like you are in Africa on the Serengeti Plain not in the Lake District.
Oh, my word! Now you have this ex-South African used to camping and braaiing (what you Brits call BBQing) on open coals in the veld absolutely drooling! Here where I am in Australia you hardly ever dare make a fire in the open between mid-spring and mid-autumn, or you'll have the cops and the fire brigade and every yokel within miles jumping on you, no matter how skilled you are.
great to see you doing other things kevin , like camping , love watching your video's , missing watching Aslan though , hope to see you back on Aslan soon . keep up the great work and thanks for this camping adventure
REALLY LIKE THESE VIDS KEVIN. FUN AND RELAXING. THAT ONE SHOT YOU HAD OF THE SUN SETTING BEHIND THE TREES WITH YOUR TENT UNDER REALLY HAD AN AFRICAN SAVANNAISH LOOK TO IT.
GIMMIE MORE.....
Awesome as always, thank you Bill. Will do.
Fantastic...I missed your cooking. Nice job with the fish!
Thanks Jean. Yes they looked delish on screen. Tasted pretty good as well.
Love the 'Bag of Holding', Kevin. You have to travel light when you're flying in via drone.
Kevin , great video. You must be exhausted, setting up all those shots. Your backpack is like Mary Poppins bag😃 The music was perfect. Thank you
Thanks Penney. Yes, it's been very physical.
Youve got me needing kippers now matey
Aha gooday Gary. Hope you're keeping well and all is good. Every time I have kippers, I think of Basil Fawlty with a kipper sticking out of his pullover. 😆
I remember that one although they only made twelve bud... hope you're keeping well, be great to see you again soon and share one of your cuppas
Still not sure about these camping vids but love that your personality makes up for this not being canal video…
You are so entertaining 😄. Bottomless backpack! Bigger on the inside. Great soundtrack too.
Must buy one of those Tardis back packs.
Another very enjoyable viewing experience, Sir! Thank you 😊 I always have a smile watching your work. You must have great fun making these. Superb 👍🏻👍🏻
Thank you Pete. It's proving a very enjoyable and refreshing experience, if a little hot. 🥵
@@CountryHouseGent that’s good to hear 😊 Take it easy dude!
Nice video. Thanks for sharing!
That backpack is incredible! Holds absolutely everything you need and is hardly bulky at all!
The shoulder straps have good padding. 🤭😉
@@CountryHouseGent that's always a plus.... gotta be comfortable carrying all that "gear." 😊
Enjoying the flights of fancy with the last couple of videos, lovely stuff
Also not very subtle piss take of the vast numbers of serious camping videos out there
Keep on keeping on 👍
Thanks Sarah and yes, well spotted. The videos are also a little dig at all these celebrity explorer types - as well as being lovely to watch, of course. 😊
Love the new videos! Keep em coming CHG.
Loving these videos. Makes me want to go camping. So long as there's a hotel nearby
Good fun! Very entertaining.
I am so looking forward to see what else you have in your backpack in Part 3 Kev.
Lol, oh no, another perfect morning 😂
Loving these videos, Kevin! Beautifully shot.
Thank you.
That looks so relaxing.
My Cub Scout age son was watching this with me and said ," Awesome, a British guy that can actually sleep in their tent and not slink off to hotels in the middle of the night, and hes not even a Special forces guy or a Eagle Scout"...Thought I was gonna die.
I've never had kippers but they look absolutely yummy along with the buttered toasted bread!!! Thanks for the video....until next time.....Cheers🍞⛺
I can highly recommend giving them a go. Very meaty, juicy and a delicious smokey flavour.
The classic way to cook British kippers, which are a traditional breakfast meal, is to pour boiling water over them and just leave to soak in the hot water for 5 minutes. These days they're usually sold in a heatproof boil-in-the-bag form, so you could actually boil them in the same water that you'll use to brew your tea or coffee. Dropping the sealed bag into boiling water is much easier than having to carry a grill rack and all that paraphernalia, and there's no cleaning up needed.
Manx Kippers are indeed the very best. Totally delicious, but full of very tiny edible bones, which is why they're eaten with crusty bread.
Good breakfast call. Now I'm hungry.
Rick
@@rickbear7249
Jugged Kippers?? I watched The Two-Fat Ladies show when it was on and I think they made them. I would akso like to try Kedgeree (?). That sounds good too.🙂
@@galas1926 yes, just bring the water to the boil. Remove from heat. Put the kippers into the just-off-the-boil hot water. Wait 5 minutes. Eat and enjoy. Typically with a knob of butter. They're called "jugged" because they're traditionally cooked by standing then upright in a tall jug with boiling water poured over them.
BTW, if the very tiny (edible) bones put you off, then forking the fish off towards the tail should strip the flesh from the bones. But always eat with fresh crusty bread for the best experience.
Kedgeree can be made from kippers instead of the more traditional smoked haddock. If you're camping I'd buy a pre-cooked camping rice (available online) and just mix in some butter and the kippers. Always tastes good if eaten in the great outdoors.
Rick
I had jugged kippers once but the ointment the doctor gave me cleared them up in no time.
Haha nice. I swear I can taste the kippers all the way to Vancouver BC. Poor Aslan however is getting jealous!!
She's enjoying the rest. 😁
Fantastic filming and story line.
Well Done 👍🏻
Thanks as always Michael
That magic backpack would be quite popular with the ultra light backpacking crowd! Me too!
Kippers - Brings back memories of Supertramp!
Like the new content on the video’s. Looks like your enjoying. Happy days.
Thank you Jim.
Well made video. Pity you didn't remove the turf before laying your fire. #Leave no trace.
Good music, terrible cooking, love it. Gave me a laugh, cheers Kev.
Kevin looks like fun glad to see your enjoying yourself,
Wow ...never got a video so soon. Watchin' it now ... (PS 3 weeks yesterday off on our next canal adventure ... up past Norton Junction and through Braunston Tunnel ... cant wait!)
I like your new(ish) hat!
another great video. thank you kevin
