Riverside Wild Camp in a Canvas Half Laavu Shelter. Australian Ration Pack. Canoe Camping.

- In this video, I am finally out for a camp after a long and extended break!
I head out in my canoe to a favourite spot on my local river for a solo wild camp in my half Laavu shelter. An Australian ration pack for food, some rum and a warm fire followed by a reasonably comfortable night in an 80 year old woollen sleeping bag from World War 2 - happy days!
I am sorry for the long wait for this video after my last camp at Christmas - I needed to take some time off to catch up on jobs at home (a very long list of essential repairs) and to spend some time with my family. I am very glad to be back in front of the camera now though, and I will continue to film my adventures as often as I can.
I hope you enjoy the video.
Thanks for watching.

Great to see you back Simon. Wednesdays evenings just weren't the same without your videos 👍
Indeed.
Even here in the states, it’s not the same without Simon on Wednesdays going to watch Simon and then wait for Andy from Kent. Survival to drop a video. What a beautiful beautiful Wednesday.🙏💯💯🏴🇺🇸
I agree completely. We love our Wednesday viewing with you Simon. We’ve missed you but understand you needed a break.
Welcome back missed your vlogs,so relaxing,love your content👍
Welcome back Simon, enjoyed the video
Who else was grinning like a Cheshire Cat when Simon got out of the canoe and walked to camera..? Like catching up with a long lost friend! Welcome back Simon!
🥰
All of a sudden it feels like the world is a better place now Simon is back
Yes Right
My wife came running when she heard me yelling. She said what’s wrong, I said nothing the new Simons here. Of course we both sit down immediately to watch. So glad to see you back friend Simon! it’s so wonderful to come along with you.
Totally. I was getting worried .
🥰
Today is a good day. Really pleased to see Simon back in my feed. welcome back, you've been missed.
I agree with you smoky camper great to see Simon back Simon kicks ass 🙏💙💯🇺🇸🏴
Glad to see you back Simon.
WELCOME back Simon… you were missed.
I'm glad to see you again
Indeed ✊🏼🧐
I am a 76 year old woman from Alaska USA and this is the first video of yours I have seen by yourself. I am really enjoying it. Your views are a bit different from Kent’s. So much fun watching you open the donated pack of foods. Reminds me of the MRE’s my dad had back in the 60’s but they weren’t nearly as good! Summer will be here before you know it and I am planning on spending a lot of it outdoors camping! So excited! Thanks for a great video!
Having this video out is like receiving a phone call from a good friend you’ve not spoken to for ages!
Love it! And welcome back! TH-cam is now a better place!
It was a great camp, Simon. You said you needed it, I say we needed you back!
There are those of us out here that are now too old and too disabled to carry on with the camping lark and we live our lives through you now.
Thank you mate.!
I am 72 and still camp the uear aroumd
Mostly Olpic Peninsula and Cascade mts. I very much enjoy your videos
Video has only been on less than 10 minutes and already several admirers. You were indeed missed! Welcome back Simon, great to see you again.
32:59 i dont think ive ever seen someone put out a campfire so thoroughly. props to u simon 💚🌲
You have no idea the cry of joy my heart made when I saw this new post. Welcome back fella, you have been sorely missed.
🥰
That MRE pack was huge! The Aussies know how to look after their service men and women! Great the have you back Simon, you're videos are the perfect antidote to a day in the office.
A hungry digger is a grumpy digger.
The only time I used the tin cheese,was to throw it into someone else's fire, hot cheese hot cheese 😉
🥰
All is well with the world, a bloke is back in the woods.
Indeed ✊🏼🧐👊🏼😎
So great to see you're back. You are such a bright light in the lives of many of us.
Best outdoor camping videos on TH-cam hands down! I missed you brother! Hope you enjoyed your much needed break. I totally understand. Thanks again so much for all your hard work. It is truly wonderful to watch. Have a wonderful week my friend.

Yank sleeping bag,Aussie rations.. you've gone a bit global for a Norfolk lad
Excellent video...pure camping chillout
Welcome back, Simon! So glad to see you safe and sound!
We missed you Simon!!!!
When I discovered TH-cam it took a while to find a place in the programming that I liked. TH-cam recommended this channel and it became home. This is my favourite channel on this platform and I’m glad Simon is back- it’s good to be home again.
brand new viewer to the channel so i can't rejoice in the same way everyone else is about your returning but this was a lovely introduction
Welcome back Simon, we all missed you!
Now this is a nice surprise on Wednesday evening. 😊⛺️🔥👌🏻
Welcome back. I would go out on a limb to say your viewers like me are the real deal. Social media isn't something to make real friends on, but I know people have your best in heart. Stay true and keep your boundaries as you know
Welcome back my friend, I, and I'm sure others, have missed you!
Welcome back, Simon! You were missed!
Well this literally made my day! Welcome back, Simon! You've been missed!
Fantastic to see you again on Utube Simon,thanks for the video, please keep them coming.

Sleeping in a bag basically made during the same week as D-Day.
Nice.
Great video Simon, good to see you back. I love that it's a ration pack video, and that you had an Australian ration pack was extra special as it's ANZAC day here Oz.
Simon, you have made my day seeing you back on the screen. I hope you are well
So happy to have you back. It's like having a friend back in our lives again. I had to put beer in the fridge so my husband could have one while we watch you 😊
Look forward to more!
Here we go, the music, the landscape, the editing. I love it ! 😊
Real life, a Camp, wood fire under the stars, and rum

Welcome back, Simon. I've so missed your wonderfully relaxing presence and entertaining videos.

Welcome back Simon, we all missed you ☺. My withdrawal symptoms have been bad lately, been re-watching some of your older content 👍.
Thank you Simon. I was deep in S,ABITW withdrawal 😊. This video couldn't have come at a better time.
Hey, Simon, writing from St. John's, Newfoundland to tell you that a few weeks before Christmas a friend from merry ole England sent me a link to "Simon, a bloke in the woods", suggesting that I would enjoy your videos. Wow, I was immediately enchanted!! I've spent the past several weeks watching all your past videos on TH-cam and waiting in great anticipation for your return. You're back and I couldn't be happier!!! I've even subscribed to your channel, something I've never done before with any channel, and to the surprise of family and friends I am spending a lot of time in the kitchen (hehehe). Thank you for your great videos. I eagerly look forward to the next one. Incidentally I LOVE your canoe!! Best regards to you and your family and don't work too hard!! All the best, Angie.
Thank you Simon! It’s great to be able to watch you again. You are always very inspiring to get out and do something.
Welcome back! I'm saving this to watch this evening when I can relax and enjoy it. God bless!
Welcome back Simon!
I missed Simon videos so much, I went and bought a canoe to fill the void. Glad you are back
1st time watcher. Great canoe & location. Simple pleasures are indeed the secret.
So nice to have you back!
I’m so glad to see you back! You made my day!
That Oz ration pack was the gift that kept on giving. What a fine selection.
You were missed Simon! Good to see you back! 😁😁
Good to have you back in my feed Simon, hope you're well rested after the hiatus!
U tube just wasn't the same without you. Delighted to have you back!
Welcome back Simon .." WOW. ". I cant get over the amount of food you had in that Aussie Ration Pack.. being an Aussie not many people like Vegemite unless you are Australian.. you would have to be the first that loves Vegemite .. another relaxing video, catch you on the next one..❤
Happy Anzac Day⚘
I'm so glad to see you back Simon, safe to say we've all missed you, but are glad you took time out for yourself and loved ones. This will likely get buried in the comments, but on the offchance you do see this, Thankyou for all you do. PS... if you ever fancy a video on explaining how to build a canoe I for one wouldn't mind :)
Welcome back, SImon! Good to see a new video from you.
I cannot express the joy I feel seeing another video of yours pop up in my feed. We all understand you have other priorities in life, but we will always look forward to your next adventure. Thank you :)
So good to see you back. My wife and I discussed your absence often over these past 4 months, always hopeful for a return. Wonderful to see you again. Cheers from Japan.
You go camping and all you eat is what every student would eat in the city bravo sir.
I'm so glad to see you back, Simon!
So great to have you back Simon! Your videos offer a bit of calm in our ever increasing world of madness (esp here in the states)!

Can't believe I missed 5 days ago.
