I just got back from a one nighter with the dog, cooked a chicken on the same setup you did there minus the hanger obvs. Once again, it was you who inspired me 3 years ago to get off my arse and get a bag together. When I needed advice, I dropped you a message and you replied, helping me no end. So thanks again Craig, you sir are a legend! 🙏🤙🤟👍
California Redwood Shagger here, I've been doin well, done a bit of bushcrafting, and plan to hang my DD hammock up this weekend now after seeing this video. Thanks for always keeping it real with us, it keeps me coming back for more. Cheers!
Toony here from Calgary Canada Shaggers. Great video Craig and absolutely loved when you help teach stuff to others. So so important to look after your mental health and as Craig mentioned switch off and get outdoors and enjoy nature. Anyways any other Canadians watch Craig, especially in Calgary area?? Craig you simply rock it Bro!
Nice to see extra military Dude still practising his craft same here love getting out of the woods bit of headspace bit of peace and quiet much love brother
I used to do this when a lot younger, I'll soon be 67 but walk for miles almost every day plus do a little weights, press ups and bands for strength. Bought a rooftop tent so hope to be getting out and about a lot more especially Island hopping in Scotland where I'm from. I really like watching your adventures. Thanks for sharing.
Doing great man, thanks for asking! You don't have to answer this comment if you're busy. I do get out in the woods and build fires, though I think here in the states we've got more places to do that legally. I don't get out as often as I like, but I've got some stuff planned soon! Love the hammock camping too! Love your channel because you're so chill, and I say you include some other stuff too, whatever you're up to! Also, hello to all the East Anglian community!
Craig bud, I hope you’re well, just checking in and making sure you’re enjoying the trees still, been a month since a vid and just wanted to post my thanks for your videos, made a man in tough times keep going, not sure why but I found some comfort in your videos in a difficult time. Probably for the distraction and interesting topics you covered. Just a big thanks really xxx
Really enjoy your channel. All sweet this week, went to archery tonight, in my wheel chair and received my bronze medal from the NZ Field Archery Association Indoor Championships held recently. Along with a second place certificate for the regionals. Absolutely stoked. 😊😊😊
Yes the only strange people wandering around in the woods at night are just us two geocachers 😂. From the first time just over 2 years ago we found you on TH-cam you have inspired us both to go out and wild camp in our and your local woodland, so thank you Craig. We are very lucky to have all this forest just on our doorstep mate. Oh yes that was a honey buzzard you heard. All the best mate Dylan and Haley ❤
My week has been good so far. Totally agree with you when it comes to people not thinking for themselves I've watched this channel for about 18 months / 2 years and will keep doing so. Hope everyone is well 🤙🏼
I somehow managed to miss this video popping up, so just caught up now and you've reminded me that it's been absolutely ages since I last did a hammock camp in the woods! Might have to get on that soon. Thanks for a lovely chilled video 😊
Really reminded me of your earlier videos bro haha it’s great that you haven’t strayed too far from the beginning! Always real, always true and that’s what people love about ya dude. 🙏🏻❤️
Under-blankets are way more comfortable, especially if you sleep on a diagonal. Also when you get in you instantly feel warmth reflecting back to you. It is like night and day.
I love a northern mam expression. “You’ll spoil yer tea” was one of my mam’s favourites. Another was, every day when we asked her what was for tea, she’d say, “sh*t wi’ sugar on” 😂 Yer can’t beat the north east 😂
Iv just got back from my weekend out in the woodland I absolutely love this sort of stuff sleeping under the tarp or even stars . I’m all good thank you and feeling refreshed hope your doing well -wildbrann
I love to get out and about... mixture of mountains and bushcraft... really helps switch off from work I've recently started a channel ... more for memories for myself and so my kids can maybe watch when I'm dead and buried 😂 Love your videos... keeping it real 💪
I'd love to go camping, I'm not very mobile and don't know anyone I could go with - plus I live in London at the moment. As for my week, it's been crap - raining so I can't even enjoy going to the local parks and getting some air. Thanks for these videos, I really do enjoy watching them. (Gu puddings are VERY nice!)
great vid, given me some ideas. Nice to see someone straight to the point and it's a shame you didn't put up the tarp as a demo. Great clean up at the end as we all hate tossers that leave the place looking like a Beirut rubbish dump. thx.
Hi Craig cracking hammock and camp mate I don’t get out as much as I’d like too but when I do there is nothing else can touch the peace and quiet of the woods , and yeah defo clears the mind of all the hustle and bustle of life I absolutely love it will have a look at beaver craft looks a real good kit that take care and have a great day all the best 👍👌🔥🔥🚣🏻🚣🏻
We love watching your videos mate. It motivates us to get out into the woods wild camping. We live in Essex and either go to farm land with permission or get into Thetford Forrest. I love it there it feels like home. Thank you for all the effort that goes into what you do. 👍
Hi Craig. Been watching your Vids for a few years, inspired me to get out and do the same like I used to do when I was younger. Done a few Thetford camps as well as the lakes, Peaks and many other locations. Thanks for entertaining us all when we can’t always get outside! Maybe see you out there sometime.
Struggling with my mobility at the minute and can't get out to camp, so this video has been that exhale for me after a long week! (Yes, I know its only Wednesday as I'm watching it!) I totally get what you mean about leaving things at the car and using a solo as time to get some headspace! Thank You 😊
Love a good hammock camp. Here in the Pacific NW we've got huge trees, so you end up packing more weight in hammock strap than you do in the rest of your sleep setup Hammock camping is always the most comfortable camp for me. But, I've noticed I've gotta get up and water the dry trees more in a hammock than in any other sleeping setup. 😅 Looks like a great day in the woods, decompressing from the madness. I'm doing well, and I hope you've been finding a good balance in things yourself. Regarding a seperate channel; From what I've seen, that never works the way folks expect. The second channel never does as well and always needs a lot of work. But, worth keeping in mind, a lot of us (myself included), watch these as a parasocial relationship, IE folks watch these cause they enjoy the personality you present on here, enjoy the hang out, the conversation. The topics are ones that got us here, but its the quality of the vids and the entertainment and experience you provide that keeps us. Just like how we all enjoy hanging out with our friends even when they're just doing boring stuff, it ain't so much about what you're doing its that you're willing to include us with the experience. Just my thoughts.
God bless Craig, we love you just as you are. Always happy to see a video if you have time and are in the mood, but don't put yourself under pressure, it's not the way. However....(sorry😅!) thanks for this one, brilliant ! 👍😅😅
Loved this one especially, thanks for giving some extra hammock tips! I would love if you added an image in the corner (pop up like your text) or described what to look for when you talk about tree species,you know so much and I would love to learn more!
Always good to see you out having a cool camp, like the hammock. What's Ben up to, has he got his own channel or just chilling in peace. You two were hilarious together 😊
Great to have you out and about and follow along. I don't comment a lot but I think I've caught almost all of the bits since I've subscribed.Just always nice to have a relaxing regular dude on an adventure without politics and dumb shit. Cheers!
Been away a while so not seen any stuff from you for a while. Loving the big hammock, had one for years but not really ever used it. Must give it a try. Keep up the great content dude 👏
Great video mate im enjoying your stuff thanks for the for the tips with hammocks I'm getting one next week you've inspired me to do more outdoor living 👍
Your videos are always banging. Been enjoying for years. I'm no bushcrafter for sure. Car camper here. And no ambition to change. But watching how it's done is most enjoyable. Keep on camping brother!
Buzzing had yours and Lukes very nice knives arrive today. And watching this before I go to bed. Great video. Keep up with whatever content you want to put out, brother ✌🏻💚 Top Shagger 🤙🏼🤟🏻
I'm doing okish, struggled this last year after marriage break up. Took up cold water therapy, so off for my sea swim tomorrow which always makes me feel good. The connection with nature is a healing balm.
Great to see you again at the Bushcraft Show albeit briefly ...yet another great bit of content in this video Craig ..and I don't get out in the woods anywhere near as much as I'd like..my own lazy ass fault..my bad...maybe another community camp???
Mosquito nets are essential. I also prefer a tarp over the top closeish if it;s going to rain or a bit higher up if it's hot. I prefer to use one of the big wool blankets rather than a foam pad in a hammock. I tend to use a lighter sleeping bag and if it gets cold those are perfect.
I suppose ive had a good week, if I think about how some other peoples might have been. This video is great. I appreciate you talking about mental health and how camping can be a medicine. I live up north in an area i think i could wild camp but dont in fear of, erm i dunno, being caught or looked down upon maybe. Anway youre an inspiration. As for upload frequency, you do you man. Keep up your passion for photography and camping. I share it but live it vicariously through you and others for the time being. I hope to do it for myself sometime and as I said, You're an inspiration for that. Peace and Love Top Shagger. X Edit: Would love to see the cooking process X
Hey mate G’day from Australia we love your channel mate raw and honest keep up the good work we first saw with Simon a bloke in the woods we’ve been watching ever since all the best mate great work and my lil grandson loves looking for the lollies
Another top upload Top Shagger! My weeks been ok so far apart from all this bloody rain. Hope everyone else’s week is going well. Take care of yourselves everyone ✌🏼off
I am one of those who lives in a city and always wanted to go wild camping, this channel gave me the nudge! I try and do a few a year with my Dad and Brother and am always passing on nuggets of knowledge I’ve learnt from your channel, so cheers Craig! 🏕️🍻

Thanks for the hammock tips. I'm setting one up on my balcony in the city to chill in this summer. Keep up the good work.

Hello again Craig. Good to see you out & having a lovely fire with your hammock. I do go to my local woods sometimes and make a fire for a cup of tea.
Craig bud, I hope you’re well, just checking in and making sure you’re enjoying the trees still, been a month since a vid and just wanted to post my thanks for your videos, made a man in tough times keep going, not sure why but I found some comfort in your videos in a difficult time.

You are correct Craig, being outside & in nature is therapy. It never fails to clear the mind. 🍺✌
I've been watching your channel since lock down, I've been getting into wildcamping, and I'll be jumping into the bushcrafting side soon enough 😊
Nice camp and video dude! 2 more sleeps until my next one! Glad you are making time for yourself outside of TH-cam too! Peace ✌️💚
My week has been good so far.
Totally agree with you when it comes to people not thinking for themselves I've watched this channel for about 18 months / 2 years and will keep doing so.
Hope everyone is well 🤙🏼

Canoe camp down on the River Thett weekend just gone, sporadic wild camper. Love it.
Desamus here from Ontario Canada, Thanks for the new vid! Always look forward to the new vids.
Really reminded me of your earlier videos bro haha it’s great that you haven’t strayed too far from the beginning! Always real, always true and that’s what people love about ya dude. 🙏🏻❤️
Love watching your videos as i dont get to go camping very much. i can feel like i do by watching your videos. Thank you for the brillant content
Well said ❤you do respect the areas where you camp out so you are doing no wrong
Under-blankets are way more comfortable, especially if you sleep on a diagonal. Also when you get in you instantly feel warmth reflecting back to you. It is like night and day.
Love watching your channel, you respect the environment carry on as you are
Really enjoyed this, watched whilst I was out hammock camping (in the rain).
Love your vids. They keep me motivated to go out. I’m heading to the east coast next week. Minimal tarp tent set up. Keep up the good work Craig.
11:38 - psychic captions?
Great video, looks like a mint place to spend a while.
Another great offering Craig, keep em coming 🤘
Just bought one too it's fun and comfy and no bugs awesome
Yesss mate 🫶 that meal looked banging. Weathers been so awful here in sheff I can’t wait to get out for a couple nights 🏕️
Never wild camped, but you are inspiring me to try, thanks!
I love a northern mam expression. “You’ll spoil yer tea” was one of my mam’s favourites. Another was, every day when we asked her what was for tea, she’d say, “sh*t wi’ sugar on” 😂
Yer can’t beat the north east 😂
As well as the s with sugar we got told "Duck and fancy". After many a funny look it translated to "Duck under the table and fancy you've had it"
Iv just got back from my weekend out in the woodland I absolutely love this sort of stuff sleeping under the tarp or even stars . I’m all good thank you and feeling refreshed hope your doing well
-wildbrann
Good people with good free thinking souls can completely govern themselves and live life with peace of mind.
I love to get out and about... mixture of mountains and bushcraft... really helps switch off from work
I've recently started a channel ... more for memories for myself and so my kids can maybe watch when I'm dead and buried 😂
Love your videos... keeping it real 💪
Great vid Craig loving the hammock
💯 mate👍 The forest seems to act like a negativity barrier, & any negative stuff in the head seems to get filtered out upon entering.
I'd love to go camping, I'm not very mobile and don't know anyone I could go with - plus I live in London at the moment. As for my week, it's been crap - raining so I can't even enjoy going to the local parks and getting some air. Thanks for these videos, I really do enjoy watching them. (Gu puddings are VERY nice!)
Let me know . I'm in London too. Not ventured out myself. I've got the gear but not taken the step! Lol
Me and a couple of my friends often get out on Dartmoor and our local woods and do this kind of thing dude! Love the vids keep it up!
I wild camp regularly with friends, in the woods, sometimes on a beach, yes we always have a fire.
Another excellent video, just keep doing what you're doing mate, no changes required, it's spot on. Best wishes, Mark in Illinois 👍🏴🇺🇸🍻
great vid, given me some ideas. Nice to see someone straight to the point and it's a shame you didn't put up the tarp as a demo. Great clean up at the end as we all hate tossers that leave the place looking like a Beirut rubbish dump. thx.
That video chilled me out cheers Shagger 🤘
3 words and a few emojis love you man 😀👍❤

I'm still grateful the youtube algorithm suggested your sea fort video to me a couple of years ago, still here and loving your videos
I'm good, thanks for asking. Fully engaged with this content
Midnight for me pal last video before bed😁🤙🏼
Always appreciate when you show up on your channel. ❤🇦🇺
Camping in woods is the best way to relax and find connection with mother nature
We love watching your videos mate. It motivates us to get out into the woods wild camping. We live in Essex and either go to farm land with permission or get into Thetford Forrest. I love it there it feels like home.
Thank you for all the effort that goes into what you do. 👍
Joined you from Simon's channel. Love the video. New subscription from USA.
I'm doing well Craig. I enjoy camping in the woods and the by the sea. Solo and with mates love a fire 🔥 🌳 🌲 🏕 ⛺️ 🌊

Wagwan brother, wildcamping, bushcraft and stealth camping all stemmed from growing up around the east anglian pine forests so love your channel mate
Buzzing had yours and Lukes very nice knives arrive today. And watching this before I go to bed. Great video. Keep up with whatever content you want to put out, brother ✌🏻💚 Top Shagger 🤙🏼🤟🏻
I'm doing Great. Thanks for the video. You've got me wanting to try out, all I've learned from You. Thanks Mate. 😊
Random life hack for ya, those little GU cheese cake pots ... lids from the pringle tin fit nice and snug on them creating a sort of seal ...
I use them to make candles in. Just use the stub ends of any candles I've got, melt them up and add a new wick 👍🏻
Only ever been wild camping once but will definitely be doing it again soon 👍🏼
I'm doing okish, struggled this last year after marriage break up. Took up cold water therapy, so off for my sea swim tomorrow which always makes me feel good. The connection with nature is a healing balm.
That craig was outstanding.i really really enjoyed this.every second of it.second channel. Craigs wild dogging adventures😅.peace n luv shagzilla ❤
