Well done Ash looked awesome. Dinner looked great. you need to get yourself down the NEC in march to the national outdoor expo you never know what you could pick up. Just a hint for the making of another vid. catch ya later or see ya there
Hi Phil! Thanks buddy, really enjoyed this one, was just one of those camps where you feel content! March is really busy for me so I doubt I’ll make it unfortunately Hope you have a great time Ash
Just chance i came accross this vid. excellent. I lived in Thetford when young, 51 yrs ago! Family used to have trips in to the forrest. Thanks for taking us all there for a little visit.
Always a joy to watch with my morning ☕, great spot & set up 🏕, & that steak looked fit for a king 😜. Great reaction to cracking open that 10% Vol Stout as I too love trying different IPAs/Stouts & sometimes they blow your head off 🤣🤣. Thanks for another great vid & enjoy your weekend 👍Mitch.
Nice camp Ash. Steak had me salivating. Good of Richard to allow you the benefit of the doubt and let you stay and in return recieving a positive message from yourself as to how the majority of us respect the outdoors Cheers for sharing Pete
Thanks Pete, yes indeed. We need to gain trust of these people, and just be respectful like we all are, and hope the trouble makers get bored in the end and go home 😅 Thanks for watching pal Ash 🏕
Heyy Ash, loved this, that is such a beautiful part of the forest 😍😍 Very impressive cooking skills there, beef looked amazing! 🤤 Camp looked so cozy, can't believe you had this while I was lying in a puddle up north haha.. See you soooon :) ClaireBear
Hellloo wild one 😁 weren’t it just, recon you’d have loved it for your Christmas camp, could have put your lights up around multiple trees 😅 Look forward to seeing your night in a northern puddle lol, I’m sure your weather luck will change for the better soon 🤞🏼 Have a nice evening, see u soon 😊
Thanks so much mate, I’ve been wanting to do this for ages and finally got round to it! I’ll definitely do it again at some point! Thanks for watching buddy Ash
That was amazing, I have never seen or heard of a cooking technique anything like that before ! Looked lovely... I was eating it wiv ya ! Nice one Ash !
Hi Ray! Thanks mate! I’ve been wanting to do this for age, just never had the right camp until now! Lol, Glad you enjoyed it buddy, and thanks for watching Ash 🏕
Cracking vid Ash, oh my days that beef looked amazing cooked to perfection. Good call on the guy saying just stay I bet you thought busted at first. It was freezing when I was out camping the other week but loved it, it was good to be out. Take care matey atb, Garry
Hey Garry! Yeah was well chuffed when he came round to me being there, first time I’ve ever been rumbled 😅 I haven’t had a freezing one yet this year, gutted Thanks for watching mate, have a great weekend Ash
I love the beautifully simplistic set up you've got going, truly as heart with nature! You truly know your way around the forest! Very informative video too my friend, new friend here to support you! ✌🏻😁
Hello mate! Thanks so much and really glad you enjoyed the video. I did love this camp, was really nice to get back into the woodland Thank you for watching Ash
What a nice little find Ash hopefully you can get a few more there and get no bother and especially as you've left no trace, because you know Richard will have been back to check but good of him to let you stay 💪💪👍🏴
He definitely will have gone back to check, he said he would 😅 it’s all good tho as he did say I could use the area again so I’m sure I’ll be back at some point! Thanks as always for watching mate Ash
😁👍 Awesome camp, quick easy setup.. That Steak though.. My mouth was watering and wish we had smellovision 😁 Richard was a good bloke and he could nodoubt see your a seasoned wildcamper and know what your doing with respect to the countryside etc. Great video, lighting, time-lapse.. But my god that Steak.. Star of the show mate 😁🥩
Hey Mike! Yeah the steak was amazing, tasted so good! Was really lucky Richard was ok, but yeah I think he knew I wasn’t going to take the piss! Glad you enjoyed mate, and thanks for watching Ash
I've had a few of those camps Ash, where it seems like hard work and you wonder why you're doing it at first, then it all comes together and you start to relax and have a blinder. This looked top notch all round - even the floodlights made it look cosy! Cheers mate. Rich 👍
Yeah I’m not sure if it was the fact that I got caught and the guys was on with me being there that allowed me to relax a little, there’s always that niggle in the back of your mind about being moved on… Lol, floodlights… pretty much were 😅 made filming easy, not great for stealth mode though! Thanks for watching mate Ash
Nice one mate, my kind of camp! Enjoyed the video. You got lucky with the guy who found you, caught him on a good day or the Ash charm was in full effect. Food looked great, I wondered if the fumes from the burning towel would pollute the steak but seemed ok. Leave no trace message is loud and clear. Top work x Later mate 😘 #saltymeat
You love a bit of salty meat don’t ya 😆 I definitely charmed him, he wasn’t keen to start with, I made a fuss of his dog and he warmed to me 😅 Definitely gotta push the LNT ethos… Thanks for watching GI2
Hello mate! I loved this camp, one of my favourites ever I think, just a good all round vibe! The food was tasty 😋 but everything always is on a campfire 🔥 Thanks as always Ash
Looks like a great camp. I can’t wait to start bivvy & tarp properly, I’m waiting for the temperatures to rise first. Your dinner looked scrumptious 😋 nice cooking skills 🧑🍳 The rain at the end 😯
Hi Rachel! Yeah I love the tarp camps, it’s the bugs that put me off in the summer tho, prefer a tent inner or a bug net. Thanks… I was well pleased with the steak! That rain indeed 😅😆🤦🏻♂️🌧 Thank you for watching Ash 🏕
Nice relaxing video. I like the sound of the wind In the background I always wondered if a salt crust made the meat salty You definitely had spring weather Great video 🇨🇦 ❤️ 🔥 🥩 🍠
Hey sue, yeah the wind was pretty constant throughout, much worse in the morning too It was a little salty, I think I could have left it on for longer as it hadn’t formed a complete crust. Was super tasty mind you! Thanks for watching Ash 🏕🍻
Hello, of course, I have been following your videos not so long ago, but I was pleased that you are still walking through the forests, since most of the videos that I watched were mountains and open areas. In my country, the privilege is given to the forests, I myself go hiking and I like the forests - I live in them, my videos talk a lot about this. Welcome to my channel, it will be nice to see you there. Please excuse me for the English language, as this is not me, but Google translator. Greetings from Belarus!
Hey mate! I do love the forests and woodland, I also love the mountains so do like to vary my content! That’s so cool you live in the forest, I’d love to live in some some day! Hope you have a fantastic weekend buddy Ash 🏕🍻🌳
Ah lovely Ash! Look at that little face! 😃 bloody love a good steak and that looked amazing! I’ve never heard of that method of cooking a steak before 🤔 Do you use a GoPro for filming your night Timelapse around the fire? It looks so good! Love the look of that setup but you know me and my slug fears 😂 You did us all proud with that leave now trace and hopefully restored Richard’s faith in us true wild campers! Good you got packed up before that rain hit too! Nice one Ash, take care lovely xx
Hey Karen 😊 my little face was very pleased with myself 😅 was well chuffed how it turned out! Nooo, I’ve seen people do awesome Timelapse’s with GoPro’s but I’ve never tried, I use my camera for them (cannon g7xii) ahhh you need to try a tarp camp Karen, just get a head net… or a sock in your mouth? 🤷🏻♂️😆 Thanks as always, and catch up soon x
@@AshOutdoorsUK haha! A sock in my mouth?! 😂 isn’t that what you say to shut people up?! 🤔😂🤣😂 Never say never I guess, if I ever brave it you’ll soon find out! 😃 Cheers Ash, have a great week xx
Mate... that looked awesome 👌 very slightly too pink for me, although I don't like it well done. Cool lighting set up. Enjoyed this one Ash. Missed your live for some reason 😪 My mum wants her tea towel back by the way!
Well I could probably dig up some ashes and form part of a tea towel from them? 🤷🏻♂️😅 thanks mate, glad you enjoyed. I really liked this one, lucked out again with the weather, was like a summer night it was so mild. Have a good weekend mate Ash 🏕
This felt a bit naughty spesh! But glad Nick/John/Bob was happy to have you there. My (almost 15 year old) daughter came in as I was watching, she pipes up with “oh look it’s the Ashman, he’s nice he is, he’s always soooo happy, he’s way better than those other ones you watch. And look at that food mum!!” A future fan right there. It’s been great, cheers.
Hey Cara! How are you? Ah hello daughter 👋🏼 I was extremely happy on this one, such a cool little camp! Glad you both enjoyed this one, have a great weekend whatever you guys get up to Ash 🏕🍻
@@AshOutdoorsUK All good thanks. Tilly did an amazing 13 mile trek two weeks ago, pushing her furthest so far from 11 miles. I can Fed-Ex her to you any time!! 😁
That food came out fabuloso, chef! Good of Richard to give you some trust there, Ash. We need to be building that trust so high, that the idiots out there cannot ruin it for us! ATB mate 😉👍🏼🥩
@@AshOutdoorsUK Sorry for the late reply, Ash. Common ground is good. Plus you didn’t get stressy about his approach. Enjoy the rest of the weekend, Ash.
Ya gotta love that ten percent taste! The steak look immense Mr Outdoors! Awesome vid dude. Looked ace that one. Also, props for not editing out when the stick nearly put you on the deck😂😂 Top work pal.✌🏻👍🏻
Thanks Richard, mate, it was actually alright after that 1st taste! A grower lol And yeah, gotta keep a few trips in for a giggle! Thanks for watching mate Ash
Nice one Ash mate that's an interesting way to cook meat my mouth was watering watching you eat it 🤣🤣 I like that setup for the same reason and there's plenty of room good to see you getting back into the woods atvb Jimmy 😎😎👍👍
Hey Jimmy mate! Thanks buddy, was so nice to be back in the woods! Really enjoyed this camp 😁 the 2nd time I’ve used this set up now and it’s definitely one of if not my favourite Thanks as always pal Ash 🏕
Nice little overnighter. I think when it comes to Thetford Forest it pays to push on in further to find a spot that's well away from tracks, roads & properties. But great job in convincing Richard of your good intentions. I take my driving licence with me if I'm staying out. That way I'm not only having to convince them that I'm not the 'In lockdown but can't get to Benidorm' type, but also showing good faith by proving who I am. Not had to yet but I think it'll go a long way towards being left to get on with things. Food looked banging btw👍
Hi Dug! Yes, totally agree, the problem with thetford is you’re never really that far away from anything 😅 I think if you’re ever caught (this has been my 1st time) and you chat with the person it will become clear we’re responsible adults who love nature and have no intentions of leaving a mess or litter. It’s irresponsible people who give us respect wild campers a bad name. It’s a shame really, but think we just need to keep pushing the LNT ethos. Food was banging, loved this camp and glad you enjoyed the vid! Thanks Dug Ash 🏕🍻
Great video as always Ash. That meat looked like it would melt in your mouth, I`m off out the week after next with a pal from work, Hammock attempt no 2 !!!
Hey Martin! Sounds good pal! Hope you have a good one. It’s starting to feel a lot more like spring out there now isn’t it! Have a great evening buddy Ash
Brilliant video mate tomahawk looked great mate. Cool camp setup to. I like these vids right up my street haha keep em coming mate also is it me or is there a lot more greys coming on ur old Barnet lol 😂
Another great outdoor adventure. Yes, I have baked potatoes/sweet potatoes on glowing coals. BUT That salt/herbs and spices wet tea towel technique is AWESOME!
Thanks mate, yeah it turned out really well, kinda wish I’d left it on just a little longer to crisper the edges… was so tasty tho 😋 Thanks for watching Ash 🏕
Good one Ash great set up looked very cosy ambiant. You knocked it out the park with the food that looked amazing I have to admit I did think to myself wtf is he doing with that cloth and all the salt lol where did you see that???? I like my meat pink aswell. Atb mate. Sam
Hey Sam! Thanks mate, yeah it was proper cozy, loved this camp! A podcaster i listen too talked about it on one of his shows and I thought I had to try it! Hope all is well mate Ash
@@AshOutdoorsUK all good here cheers. Looking forward to spring. I'm serious about the camp thing now as well, I've been researching today, looking at all kinds of kit. When I do my first forest curry video I'll give you a shout out 😉
Wicked vid as always Ash! I recommend steak mushrooms with grated cheddar cheese in and a tiny bit of wholegrain mustard. Cook with your steak 👌 haha can't beat a bit of maccie D's tho! 😁
Hey!! Aw thanks I really loved this camp! Ohhh that sounds nice 😋 to be honest steak and most things sound nice to me 😅 Thank you for watching and taking the time to comment Ash 😊🏕
Nice that Richard was cool, if all campers were like the rest of the youtube community we would be ok, it’s not surprising that landowners/managers are apprehensive but at least now he has experienced a legend like yourself being there and leaving no trace it’s left him feeling positive
@@AshOutdoorsUK Darn it!!! 😤😂 Next time....😈😁 I've been out on a walk, clear skies, stars, the moon, and -the Northern Lights are out dancing tonight!👌 Beautiful!!🤩 Wish you a great evening too Ash🤗🇧🇻
Great vid mate stout sounded lovely and actually it’s a myth that the alcohol burns off/away it doesn’t and your still getting alcohol in you when you eat it. Win win lol
Cracking camp there Ash, although I was worried you'd get done for asalt on that meat... Sorry, bad joke. Looked damned fine! Fair play to the guy for being OK with you being there, that's good to see. Nice one. Oh, and as I've been an ex-carpenter for a few years now, I can forgive you for being a plasterer. The problems you guys caused us... All the best, Pete.
😅😆 that’s a cracking dad joke that! But I like it 😂 Oh yeah we like to keep other trades on their toes 😅 Thanks for watching Pete, have a good end to the week Ash
@@AshOutdoorsUK 😁 And I'm not even a bloody dad! More than old enough though.... Happy to call a truce and blame the brickies... Have a good 'un yourself.
Looked like a good one mate. I'm more a steak well done sort of guy, an hour on each side....! The lighting for the night shots was excellent, so many vids are ruined because you can't see what is happening, but you got that spot on. Good to see you never tried any ambitious drone shots in the woods, i seem to remember a pretty bad landing last time..! Look forward to your next outing, stay safe.
Thanks buddy, yeah I love a rare steak… think this could have done with being a little more crispy on the outside. Lol Yeah I’m making more of an effort with the lighting, especially in winter as the nights are so long! Hope you’re good, and thanks for watching Ash
Great Video Ash! Do you have any tips on finding the best/ least crowded spots for a wild camp in thetford? I'm bike-packing through there and it's hard to get a grasp of where to head from maps.
Great vid Ash. I love the proper campfire cooking. You deserve more subs mate but I think you better change the channel name to GourmetAshOutdoors or failing that maybe just ThreePillowsAsh :)
Dude try Morrisons in future they still have butchers on site who tend to stock the shelves with some fairly decent cuts of meat, sadly everything was looking a bit wimpy when I went last night but it was late (cling filmed packets come from there butcher)
Oooh good shout, cheers dude! There’s isnt a Morrisons that close to me but if I’m working near one I’ll have a little look! Thanks for watching Dave Ash
Great video. Nothing like a bit of wild camping.
Thanks buddy! Can’t beat it can u!? 🏕
Well done Ash looked awesome. Dinner looked great. you need to get yourself down the NEC in march to the national outdoor expo you never know what you could pick up. Just a hint for the making of another vid. catch ya later or see ya there

Hey hardy! Yes, a gourmet sausage and egg McMuffin for breakfast 😅 that steak was awesome tho!
Thanks for watching mate, have a good evening
Ash
Another great outdoor adventure.
Yes, I have baked potatoes/sweet potatoes on glowing coals.
BUT That salt/herbs and spices wet tea towel technique is AWESOME!
Thanks mate, yeah it turned out really well, kinda wish I’d left it on just a little longer to crisper the edges… was so tasty tho 😋
Thanks for watching
Ash 🏕
Good one Ash great set up looked very cosy ambiant. You knocked it out the park with the food that looked amazing I have to admit I did think to myself wtf is he doing with that cloth and all the salt lol where did you see that???? I like my meat pink aswell. Atb mate. Sam
Hey Sam! Thanks mate, yeah it was proper cozy, loved this camp! A podcaster i listen too talked about it on one of his shows and I thought I had to try it!
Hope all is well mate
Ash
Love the little pillow, I use one I pinched from a flight to istanbul and sleep so well on it #cheersBA lol
😅 good old BA 😆 yeah I didn’t sleep great on this one, think it was because I was too hot lol
I seriously need to up my camp cooking game. That looks bloody amazing!
My usual cous cous and tinned sardines looks pretty sketchy now ;)
Lol, it was glad to have polished it all off, my pack was a darned sight lighter the next day 😆
Thanks for tuning in pal, hope all is well?
@@AshOutdoorsUK all good here cheers. Looking forward to spring.
I'm serious about the camp thing now as well, I've been researching today, looking at all kinds of kit.
When I do my first forest curry video I'll give you a shout out 😉
Wicked vid as always Ash! I recommend steak mushrooms with grated cheddar cheese in and a tiny bit of wholegrain mustard. Cook with your steak 👌 haha can't beat a bit of maccie D's tho! 😁
Hey!! Aw thanks I really loved this camp! Ohhh that sounds nice 😋 to be honest steak and most things sound nice to me 😅
Thank you for watching and taking the time to comment
Ash 😊🏕
@@AshOutdoorsUK no worries mate, hope you stop by my little channel at some point, inspired by people like you of course! 👍😁
Nice one Ash,one of your best videos chap. Rob
Hey Rob! Thanks so much pal! It was a really enjoyable camp this one and loved the edit!
Glad you enjoyed it too mate.
Have a great weekend
Ash 🍻
Nice that Richard was cool, if all campers were like the rest of the youtube community we would be ok, it’s not surprising that landowners/managers are apprehensive but at least now he has experienced a legend like yourself being there and leaving no trace it’s left him feeling positive
Yeah we need to put the LNT message out there, he was sound in the end and think he’d let me go back!
@@AshOutdoorsUK consider it unspoken permission lol.. if you ever see him “hello again mate” 👏🤣
2nd😁 Loved it!👌😊🇧🇻

He beat you to it again line! Hope you had a nice evening! 👌🏼🏕

@@BulldogBadger Darn it....ok then...congrats...AGAIN!🥇🏆🎉 But I swear...one of these days ..😈😁
@@scorpiokitty9745 haha try next month, I’m working away for the whole of March so you will beat me 👍🤣
Great video Ash, live right beside Thet forest just got to find some spots near Mundford 👍
It’s a great place isn’t it! A little busy sometime for my liking but are some hidden gems! Thanks for watching Paul, and happy camping
Ash
Great vid mate stout sounded lovely and actually it’s a myth that the alcohol burns off/away it doesn’t and your still getting alcohol in you when you eat it. Win win lol
Ohhh is it really, oh well like you say, win win 😅 thanks for watching mate
Ash
That steak looked amazing,I bet tea towel took some washing though.
Hey Paul! It really was amazing, and luckily I didn’t need to wash the tea towel, seems it made good fuel 😅
Thanks for watching mate
Ash
I still don’t understand the camping restrictions in the U K but was nice of the guy to leave you be. Great camp! And my God that steak!
They are bizarre and annoying, pretty much outdated too! The steak was so good buddy!
Thanks so much for watching mate
Ash
Cracking camp there Ash, although I was worried you'd get done for asalt on that meat... Sorry, bad joke. Looked damned fine! Fair play to the guy for being OK with you being there, that's good to see. Nice one. Oh, and as I've been an ex-carpenter for a few years now, I can forgive you for being a plasterer. The problems you guys caused us... All the best, Pete.
😅😆 that’s a cracking dad joke that! But I like it 😂
Oh yeah we like to keep other trades on their toes 😅
Thanks for watching Pete, have a good end to the week
Ash
@@AshOutdoorsUK 😁 And I'm not even a bloody dad! More than old enough though.... Happy to call a truce and blame the brickies... Have a good 'un yourself.
Looked like a good one mate. I'm more a steak well done sort of guy, an hour on each side....! The lighting for the night shots was excellent, so many vids are ruined because you can't see what is happening, but you got that spot on. Good to see you never tried any ambitious drone shots in the woods, i seem to remember a pretty bad landing last time..! Look forward to your next outing, stay safe.
Thanks buddy, yeah I love a rare steak… think this could have done with being a little more crispy on the outside. Lol
Yeah I’m making more of an effort with the lighting, especially in winter as the nights are so long!
Hope you’re good, and thanks for watching
Ash
Great Video Ash! Do you have any tips on finding the best/ least crowded spots for a wild camp in thetford? I'm bike-packing through there and it's hard to get a grasp of where to head from maps.
Great vid Ash. I love the proper campfire cooking. You deserve more subs mate but I think you better change the channel name to GourmetAshOutdoors or failing that maybe just ThreePillowsAsh :)
Hey Matt lol, 😅 I do love the cooking, makes a nice change to be back in front of a fire instead of a gas burner 😆
Thanks for watching mate
Ash
#YellowPegs 👍👍👍
First outing for them in a while! My Burton outdoors pegs 👌🏼
Wow u could carve something nice out of that fallen tree.
The birch at the beginning? Yes! Could have got a few hundred spoons out of that mate!
Hope you enjoyed this one, thanks for the comment
Ash
1st🤘😎
🙏🏼😆 as always buddy! Congratulations 🎉
@@AshOutdoorsUK I do have a confession to make though I claimed the first and then came back to watch 3 hours later 😱🤣
Alcohol = can't remember kit in bags. Lol
Dude try Morrisons in future they still have butchers on site who tend to stock the shelves with some fairly decent cuts of meat, sadly everything was looking a bit wimpy when I went last night but it was late (cling filmed packets come from there butcher)
Oooh good shout, cheers dude! There’s isnt a Morrisons that close to me but if I’m working near one I’ll have a little look! Thanks for watching Dave
Ash
Nice one - what size was the tarp you used please?
Hey Paul, thanks mate.
It’s dd superlight 3x2.9m
Awesome video man! I just got done building my overlander camping rig! You'll have to check my channel out! Keep up with the awesome content!
Ah sound good mate! Whens the maiden voyage?
Thanks, and thank you for watching
