Filming and editing - 5 hours, Creating an ember - 3 hours, Preparation and Cooking - 2 hours, Simon eating - 10 minutes, Maggie eating - 5 seconds 😀 Great video, thanks for sharing.
And time well spent .. we have all spent more time sitting in traffic! It is the quality of the time that is important. And what could be better for mental health than a nice afternoon with a dog. (my dogs wrote that part) ;}.
Simon, you are my favorite. I always look forward to what you post. Although I do not own a dog, I have a soft spot in my heart for anyone who treats their pet with respect and love, and you do all of that. thanks for this wonderful video.
maybe a bit of a late comment, but none the less, it is always lovely to see people using proper canoe strokes . you dont see it often sadly. Love you vid Simon
since I am a newer subscriber am catching up on your videos - bow drill fires always look so easy in movies and videos - thanks for making them look 'real' - :) I haven't tried one for decades but sure brought back the memories - thank you
Nice one simon, tricky lighting your fire with the bow drill, but perseverance won through. Excellent stuff mate, and creamed nettles and lamb leg steaks, superb.
Another great video Simon - thanks for sharing the book and your many and persistent efforts - well done on getting there in the end! I'm not practiced, but have seen it done by a 'fire expert'. Top Tips - the Spindle end in contact with the Fire Board needs to be with freshly cut angled flat surfaces (think Tortoise Shell), the char comes from all those corners being knocked off under heat and pressure collecting in the 'V', the smoke tells you plenty of hot char being generated. The 'fire expert' then said start slow, build up a small pile of char without wanting or expecting to create an ember. Refresh the angled cut surfaces, this time go with speed and pressure - and any ember now falls into the pile of char and gives you a fighting chance to pick up and transfer the ember to the Birds Nest tinder bundle (he put a leaf under the 'V' so the char pile with ember could be transferred more easily). Good to know - the Spindle and Fire Board have to be really dry - expecting to forage and pick up really dry wood on the day is a bit of an ask - the 'fire expert' explained - 'the ancients carried their own fire kit - dry tinder bundle, dry spindle and dry fire board and lengths of ready-made cordage - only the bow needed to be harvested locally - that way you have a fighting chance to make an ember and get a birds nest tinder bundle alight in a wide range of conditions (cold, humid, wet etc). Note: persistence does not always pay - actually, it might be a sign that things are not quite right - sawing away endlessly just creates a smooth-ended spindle that might create a blackened friction burn divot, but not much in the way of char - if in sawing away there is no longer smoke arising - take a break - use a sharp knife to make fresh angled flat surfaces to the spindle end and when you restart you know you have the best chance. Lastly - in North America - 'Cotton Wood' is known as an easier material to use in friction fire making - here in the UK the direct equivalent is 'Poplar' - which happens to throw down dead branches - so searching out and harvesting this wood to dry out and make an 'ancient fire making kit' is likely very much what our ancestors did. All easy enough to say from the comfort of an armchair - but this is a practical sport - only practice will make perfect! Simon - it is fantastic you have shared your efforts! Thank you!
That’s what I’m talking about, persistency and never give up attitude!! Think you will probably need some new boot laces lol. Great work as always and Thank you, makes my day when you post a video. Cheers
Great video of Lamb and cream nettles on the river bank nice day for filming, I'm going to try cream nettles and bacon when I go hammock camp for 2 nights take care you and Maggie
I am amazed at the excellent meals you prepare when camping. Much better than instant ramen and canned spam like I did. I always love seeing Maggie! Good luck on your survival challenge, and thank you for this great video!
Excellent video! Simon, you did a fabulous job of showing just how absolutely frustrating it can be to start a friction fire. Practice, practice, practice!
Yeh... Only a dog and a camper would wade straight into the nettle for the right stick... Will definitely try the creamed nettle. I love the aroma of it, but never actually thought to make the whole garnish. Cheers!
Now you know me well enough to expect a humourous comment. Not this time.....I felt for you working so hard on the bow. Excellent and the food looked good.
Great success with the bow drill, I also need to work on that. Awesome video My Friend an it does my heart good to see someone love their Pup as I do. Thanks for sharing Mate, ATB Von
Always like an honest video, as for nettles we use them in our first line of defence against Colorado beetles and they also make a good wine, all the best for your friction fire endeavours.
I was amused to see we came up with the same idea to use the de Buyer's pans instead of a cast iron skillet. They are actually used for crepes and I've heard them called blue steel. I'm car camping so weight is not such an issues . I'm interested to see how it pairs with my new Firebox stove that I'll be playing with on my upcoming camping trips.
Great video Simon, good to see you out with Maggie who behaved really well, with your skills I'm sure you will get very good at the bow drill fire lighting, nice bit of grub too 😊
I enjoyed that Simon, Maggy looked really at ease in the front of the canoe. And that is one hell of a bug out shelter you built with the Nettle, an impenetrable fortress of Urtica dioica. Food looked good, I had a play about with Nettle & Tater soup myself lately. I usually go for a longer spindle for bow drill, about 10-12inches, that way I don't need to lean over my knee as much and allows me to breath in more oxygen as i drill because I'm not crushed against my thigh trying to control a terribly short spindle. Thanks for sharing mate, take care.
Cheers mate! Yes, filming my efforts was very useful, allowing me to spot what I need to work on - I thought the same about being hunched over. 👍😁 still got to watch your nettle and tatty soup vid!
Lovely looking plate of food! We hope you will be able to record your experiences on that course! I use De Buyer pans, including one I keep for omelets and crepes. They definitely have their place in kitchen and in camp, especially if you travel by canoe or car camp. Thanks for the tip on the bow drill book!
Fantastic Simon, as always! I will say, you must have the patience of a saint. I would have gone straight to my fire-steel, or bic lighter long before you got your spark.😎 That had to be a very satisfying accomplishment. I hope you do well on the up-coming, 5 day challenge. Be safe. 🛶 Roger
Awesome video as usual Simon.. That bow looks tricky but nice to see you got there .. That nettle and onion sauce looks good.. Always a pleasure to watch your videos 👍👍
Well done fella, you got there in the end, but in fairness, sourcing materials in the field you did alright. Many would struggle to achieve an ember from material dried on a radiator. Regular practice is key. Friction fire Tuesday seems to be a thing. Give it a go. Now then lamb, that's more like it! All the best Al
Great as always Simon. Your right, it's easy to just grab a ferro rod. I as well have a time with friction fire. I've been most successful with cedar. I do need to practice more often. Thanks for taking time for this video, loved it!
at that last attempt i was ca"mon simon you can do it ... and you did was awsome simon glad you showed the fails too cuz truly it isnt easy i did the same thing lol as always your videos are pure real and always enjoy the cooking parts great stuff simon !!! thank you for your time and hard work making these vids i dont even watch tv anymore not with entertainment like this !!!! 🌲🇨🇦🌲
Yes dear Bloke in the Woods, that spindle is much too short. I don't know how many variations of the bow drill and spindle fire start I have looked at on TH-cam. I suppose I could search through and find what I thought was the best of the selection to hand on to you.. I grow nettles on my terrace and make a tea. Sometimes salad - I have a sort of nettles that doesn't sting! And a very vicious one that becomes the tea!
X-O-LENT!! Persistence does pay off!! People don’t realize how difficult and frustrating bow-drilling can be. Where are you going for your 5-day survival camp?? Super vid, Simon!! And always great to see Maggie along with you!!
Awesome video. Always good to see you and Maggie on your adventures. That carbon steel pan looks great. Good luck on your upcoming survival camp. You got this fire by friction bud. At least you have time to hone that skill beforehand. 🔥🌲👍🏼🤠
Enjoyable video. Bow drill, never done it before but watched Paul Kirtley's video on it, might be useful to watch that, cos as I was watching you I immediately thought spindle was too short, maybe even the second one. But hey no expert. Must pick some nettles from my garden and try your recipe.
Bow drill firecraft can be such a labor at times, thumbs up for your effort Simon. As usual the cooking looks absolutely fantastic. It is always a bonus when Maggie is there as well. Thank you for yet another great adventure. You really do put a lot of effort into showing us all how much fun it can be to get out there and enjoy nature. I wish you a wonderful summer, but I also allow myself to hope for a few more adventures with you and Maggie before autumn kicks in :) Cheers from Denmark !
Great video, always good music too. Well done with that fire, I was thinking that about the length of the spindle before you said, enjoyed seeing you cooking the nettles I sort of feel lucky that I would have been happy eating them nettles just with the onions and meat but then I don’t eat fancy stuff indoors so maybe why. I have a very very old recipe book that has recipes for every freshwater fish, it’s a shame there are restrictions on what freshwater fish we can catch & eat in this country as I would love to catch my food and eat it like pretend I had to, no choice. I guess it’s you who has to keep changing the camera positions & then carry on, I can’t imagine you have an assistant doing it so can appreciate the effort that goes into making your videos. Very envious of your canoe it looks the dogs ....
Enjoyed the recipe, many times around a fire at home I prepare a plastic container of bite size marinated meat chunks. I roast each piece to perfection and eat it and then roast the next piece. Taking my time with meat on a stick, ✌🖖🍺
So pleased to see an upload from you! Your opening was especially pleasant and nice today! Loved the music. It was odd to see you struggling with the fire as you are always so adept at almost everything you do! LOL! You'll get it! You won't want to let your other course camp mates show you up!!
Beautiful video as usual. You are unusual in that you show how difficult and how persistent you are. So far I’ve only seen a 'how too ... ‘ from an expert who makes it look as easy as using a lighter! I make creamed spinach a lot and although I din't use onions I add a touch of nutmeg, which is delicious, and also goes with the lamb. Try it sometime😊
That was great Simon!!! really good camera work!!! I enjoyed it all I like the bit at the beginning I felt quite peaceful watching it as there was no talking then into the main part I really thought the content was just right ...It must have been a great feeling when you got fire 10/10 for your hard effort ... then the cooking I love nettle soup something we were fed as youngsters as it is full of iron and great vitimins ...when in flower I think you can pick them with no sting ...can't remember now ...either way great info .... I hope you will make a video on your survival week away!!!
That food looked amazing Simon. Don’t know why a lot more people don’t use nettles. They’re in abundance everywhere! I’ve only had nettle tea before. Must give the creamed nettles a go. Looked delicious.
Think you should write an outdoor cook book Simon, see some great dishes from you!
bow drill is a real pain in the behind.. way to go Simon.. Appreciate the video brother..

Another good meal. Although not sure on the nettles.
Another great video Simon. Much respect on showing your failed attempts at the bow drill. Many wouldn’t.
Looking forward to your next offering.

Thank you! Great tips - I’ll try the faceted friction surface next time - makes good sense to me! 👍😁🔥
Another excellent video. That's the good thing about being away, lots to watch when you get back!
That’s what I’m talking about, persistency and never give up attitude!! Think you will probably need some new boot laces lol. Great work as always and Thank you, makes my day when you post a video. Cheers
Great video Simon, thanks, that’s a beautiful canoe
Another brilliant and relaxing video.... Mindfulness in itself.
ATB Simon...... Chris
Cheers Chris! 👍😁
Great video of Lamb and cream nettles on the river bank nice day for filming, I'm going to try cream nettles and bacon when I go hammock camp for 2 nights take care you and Maggie
Cream nettles and bacon! Or with ham steak (since I have to watch my fat intake.)
Well done SImon. Good luck on your trip.
Perfect show of patience! Great video Simon and I think Maggie enjoyed her lamb!
I am amazed at the excellent meals you prepare when camping. Much better than instant ramen and canned spam like I did. I always love seeing Maggie! Good luck on your survival challenge, and thank you for this great video!
Nothing wrong with ramen and spam! Food of kings!! 😁👍
This was just lovely!
that's an awsome recipe idea with the nettles..will have to try that
Love nettles! Every year in the spring I go out and get one batch and eat them steamed with butter and salt.
Yum! 😋
Nice video Simon. I felt your pain starting that fire, but you did it!. Thanks for sharing. Wish you the best.
Yet another much appreciated video. Thank you!
Good video, good to see you get success with the bow drill.
Amazing perseverance and stamina Simon and your reward was an ember..great stuff 👍 the lamb looked amazing too 👌
Excellent video! Simon, you did a fabulous job of showing just how absolutely frustrating it can be to start a friction fire. Practice, practice, practice!
😂😂😂
Great video Si well done with the bow drill
You inspire. I so appreciate your sharing your skills and the beautiful Maggie.
another nice video THANKS
Your determination and patience is astounding!
I tell you Simon, I would have never let the fire go out after all that effort. Well done Simon.
so wonderful. Your videos make me happy, Thanks Simon
Thank the youtube gods!! Simon has uploaded a great video yet again. Well done buddy keep the uploads coming!!!
Top shelf all around, Simon and Maggie!
Yeh... Only a dog and a camper would wade straight into the nettle for the right stick...
Will definitely try the creamed nettle. I love the aroma of it, but never actually thought to make the whole garnish. Cheers!
Great vid Simon,that bow-drill fire lighting sure looked challenging .I must get out and pick some of those nettles to try :)
Now you know me well enough to expect a humourous comment. Not this time.....I felt for you working so hard on the bow. Excellent and the food looked good.
Brilliant video Simon, always great to watch and learn from ^^
very enjoyable video.
7:14 Maggie gets up to check on what you're concerned about. 🥰🥰💜💜
She’s a good girl. 😁
As always great.

THANKS Simon Love the vid & Maggie.
Great success with the bow drill, I also need to work on that. Awesome video My Friend an it does my heart good to see someone love their Pup as I do. Thanks for sharing Mate, ATB Von
❤Maggie
Nettle and chamomile tea with local honey saved me from hay fever and they're nice in noodles with a few mushrooms/spring onions and meat
You got it!! You'll be a pro by the end of your trip. Have fun!
You made it 🙂 great job. Greetings from Germany
Now that looks quite tasty. Whoddathunk having lamb during a canoe trip!
Another great one Simon! Inspirational! I'm definitely going to try that creamed nettles!
Always like an honest video, as for nettles we use them in our first line of defence against Colorado beetles and they also make a good wine, all the best for your friction fire endeavours.

They’re good aren’t they! Not used with my Firebox yet, but I bet they’ll work well together! 👍🔥
Great video! 😁👍
always apleasure to see Mags
Great video Simon, good to see you out with Maggie who behaved really well, with your skills I'm sure you will get very good at the bow drill fire lighting, nice bit of grub too 😊
Nice video Simon 👍. Great to see Maggie out with you 😉.

Very good video again Simon, Good job on the bow drill at the end you got it working great job!!!
Great video Simon. It looks like you almost have the bow drill fire mastered. From Vancouver Island BC.
You did a splendid job on that canoe 👍😎
Awesome video as usual Simon.. That bow looks tricky but nice to see you got there .. That nettle and onion sauce looks good.. Always a pleasure to watch your videos 👍👍

Well done, mate. Great video as always. Joy to watch.
Yes very nice how u give ur dog the love sharing ur food.I DO the same thanks for sharing the book where to get it! Tell Maggie I said hey!!
X-O-LENT!! Persistence does pay off!! People don’t realize how difficult and frustrating bow-drilling can be. Where are you going for your 5-day survival camp?? Super vid, Simon!! And always great to see Maggie along with you!!
Thanks Michael! The course/challenge is in Wiltshire with Wilderness Survival Skills (Joe O’Leary) can’t wait! 😁
Simon, a bloke in the woods Awesome!! Sounds like it will be quite an adventure. Will look forward to your well-documented video!!
A meal well earned. Good effort all round. Keep up the bow drill practice.
Have to try that. It looked good!
Delicious food! Well done on the bow drill! You'll get better too.
Bro your camping is really lovely me from fiji island I always watch camp
Great Video, always good to practice the skills
Awesome video. Always good to see you and Maggie on your adventures. That carbon steel pan looks great. Good luck on your upcoming survival camp. You got this fire by friction bud. At least you have time to hone that skill beforehand. 🔥🌲👍🏼🤠
Thanks mate! 👍😁🔥
Great vid. I love nettle time of year. Nettle tea with a spoon of local honey. 🏕
5star video. Good to see you and Maggie out again. Haven’t tried the bow drill method maybe the book might give me the courage. Thanks for sharing

You deserve the food after lighting the fire Simon not easy at all great vid as usual
*INSERT "IT'S JUST NOT LONG ENOUGH" JOKE HERE* HA HA HA, LOVE THE VIDS SIMON.
NEW SUB FROM LOS ANGELES!
Hahaha - thank you and thanks for the sub! 👍🔥
Great video, always good music too. Well done with that fire, I was thinking that about the length of the spindle before you said, enjoyed seeing you cooking the nettles I sort of feel lucky that I would have been happy eating them nettles just with the onions and meat but then I don’t eat fancy stuff indoors so maybe why. I have a very very old recipe book that has recipes for every freshwater fish, it’s a shame there are restrictions on what freshwater fish we can catch & eat in this country as I would love to catch my food and eat it like pretend I had to, no choice.
I guess it’s you who has to keep changing the camera positions & then carry on, I can’t imagine you have an assistant doing it so can appreciate the effort that goes into making your videos.
Very envious of your canoe it looks the dogs ....
Thanks mate! No, sadly no assistant, just me jumping about all over the place setting the camera up!
Enjoyed the recipe, many times around a fire at home I prepare a plastic container of bite size marinated meat chunks. I roast each piece to perfection and eat it and then roast the next piece. Taking my time with meat on a stick, ✌🖖🍺
That sounds like a very civilised way to go about things! I love it! 😁
Excellent, really enjoyed this video. Thanks Simon. Long portage at the end there!
Thanks Simon - yes, all uphill too!! 😅
So pleased to see an upload from you! Your opening was especially pleasant and nice today! Loved the music. It was odd to see you struggling with the fire as you are always so adept at almost everything you do! LOL! You'll get it! You won't want to let your other course camp mates show you up!!
Beautiful video as usual. You are unusual in that you show how difficult and how persistent you are. So far I’ve only seen a 'how too ... ‘ from an expert who makes it look as easy as using a lighter! I make creamed spinach a lot and although I din't use onions I add a touch of nutmeg, which is delicious, and also goes with the lamb. Try it sometime😊
That sounds lovely - I’ll try that! Thank you Felicity!! 😁
That was great Simon!!!
really good camera work!!!
I enjoyed it all
I like the bit at the beginning I felt quite peaceful watching it as there was no talking then into the main part I really thought the content was just right ...It must have been a great feeling when you got fire 10/10 for your hard effort ... then the cooking I love nettle soup something we were fed as youngsters as it is full of iron and great vitimins ...when in flower I think you can pick them with no sting ...can't remember now ...either way great info .... I hope you will make a video on your survival week away!!!
Cheers Chris - I’ll try to film it. 😁👍
That food looked amazing Simon. Don’t know why a lot more people don’t use nettles. They’re in abundance everywhere! I’ve only had nettle tea before. Must give the creamed nettles a go. Looked delicious.
Look forward to this ☺
