Woodland Camp in a Canvas Baker Tent. Camping with my Dog. Hunters Chicken and Chips.

- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 19 เม.ย. 2022
- In this video, I am out in the woods for a relaxing overnight camp in my home made canvas Baker campfire tent with my trusty dog Maggie.
After setting up and organising camp, I gather firewood and light the campfire ready for making dinner - hunters chicken and chips - shared with Maggie. I spend a very comfortable evening with a couple of very good ales, the warmth from the fire and the sounds of woodland around me - bliss!
Morning brings a frost and beautiful clear blue skies. A strong coffee and a hearty breakfast and it is soon time to pack away - it has been a perfect overnight camp - comfortable and in good company with some very enjoyable grub.
I hope you enjoy the video and thanks for watching!

Wow I didn't think an emo fringe could look good on anyone but Maggie has definitely proved me wrong, what a lovely girl
Your loyalty and devotion to that old girl is admirable,sir.
Really shows the character of a person who treats their pets with so much respect. Genuine human being
Word!
I love how you spoil Maggie! She’s a good girl and thoroughly deserves it!
Simon, you are the guy everyone tries to be like. You are a true gentleman, There's nothing you can't do, build, make or cook & I love watching your video's so much. Don't ever give up what you do. All the best
Couldn't of said it better myself !!.A true gent and a joy to follow,watch and be inspired from.
Thank you Dean!
What he said..100%
@@nicolab2075 : Whatever do you mean?
So organised i got some good tips from you when i kayak camp, keep up the good work!
There is nothing better than camping with a dog;. Old dogs are one of the most precious things on earth and deserve to be cherished and loved. I lost my 90 pound lap dog in August to cancer. It was a huge shock because we didn't know he had it until it metastasized. He had just turned ten in July and he also was having trouble with arthritis and mobility. God bless Maggie.
I absolutely love how you treat your dog. Maggie is in good hands. That says a lot about you. Safe travels my friend.
Can Always Tell How Real a Person is By the way They Treat their Animals!
@@mikeks8181 you are right about that. If a person isn't good to their animals it makes me very leary of them.
Bless ol Maggie ❤
I really do admire you for honouring yourself and do these nights away solo. Sitting back and getting to be ‘one’ with your surroundings is the BEST MEDICINE! Nature’s reset button.
I just ❤ love going back and rewatching these older videos w Maggie ❤❤❤ RIP
We got a new pup about 2 months ago. My boyfriend suggested Maggie, and I immediately though of you and yours. As I loved her from the moment I met her, I said yes, That is a Maggie.
That tent looks so cozy…I’m watching this long after it was posted and sadly also know that this was one of the last with Maggie…precious memories I’m sure…you were both lucky to have shared time in your lives with each other… and that you have these videos to remember and treasure those special times. Be well & safe.
Thank you for taking us along, always a fine job. Maggie helps to make extra special.
Baker tent is back, and opening with the sound of a diesel… can’t get better than that (although of course it does, because Maggie)!
Andrew answered my question...it indeed is a diesel motor...Thanks
That is a heart breaker. I love that tent. Someday I'll have one. Loading ramp for Maggie, you are a class act Simon.
He sure is🎈❤️
Just paused the video to say that Sweet Baby Rays is the best bbq sauce!
Love the Sweet n Spicy and Hickory!
Ok...back to the vid! 🙂
Hi , im a regular night carp fishing man and love to bivvy up and chill just like you do in your videos . I love watching them and it gives me the itch to get out for the weekend . I just love all your equipment like the cooking bits and the simplicity of it all . keep the videos going Simon and they are just a joy to watch and you are a top bloke .
Thank you for taking good care of Maggie. It's great to see her and the way you made the trip comfortable for her.
Good old Maggie, great to see her out and about again! She's a star!
It’s your honest and kind nature that really makes it a pleasure to watch.
One of the best channels on You Tube. Truly a gift that keeps giving! Awesome! 👌👋🙏😀 Simon
Very nice ❤
Rest in Peace Maggie .God Love You.
As I read the comments, I see Mrs Maggie is in heaven, I know you miss her dearly. My late condolences to you Mr Simon.
Dogs shouldn't have an expiry, breaks my heart. I'm sniffling and simultaneously dribbling because of the hunters chicken. Thanks Simon :)
Big bloke with big heart. Love how near you are to your best buddy. Big respect and regards from Egypt.
Beautiful video with love of Nature, tenting and fabulous Maggie.
Cheers Simon. I love the ramp that you made for Maggie. She is a well-pampered dog who deserves it.
This man lives right and eats right.
👍 For the Maggster Ramp to get out your Landy
Raising a glass to Maggie now. I know how painful it is to lose your best buddy like that! I lost mine about 5 months ago and life isn't the same. I'll say an extra prayer tonight for her and you. Also, thanks for the chicken and chips recipe. I made that for dinner tonight and my wife loved it. It was outstanding at home in a dutch oven in the range indoors, so I can only imagine how great it would be over a fire, camping. Again, my heart goes out to you for your loss of Maggie. I've made your fries many times now and decided after some debate to call it "English Fries" in honor of our mother country. I was thinking of Simon Fries, but it just didn't seem right. My wife loves this recipe!
I think that dogs are so loyal to us and would give there lives for us in a second...... and they love food ...so do we
Nearly 150k subscribers! A real achievement and well deserved. Come on everyone, tell your friends to subscribe and get Simon to 150k and more! Thank you for sharing your your adventures with us all!
I enjoy the longer videos...
I really like this tent. So different and very roomy.
From 8 - 10PM I am hooked up to Simon most evenings. Good one mate.
Marvellous. You are one of the only genuine, lovely guys left . And I'm not just saying that. Remind me of my late father!!😊😊
You have provided a great many adventures for Maggie. Perfect life for a valued K9 family member.
I think canvas is underrated. Heavy, but one of the best materials for a good camp.
Never seen chips fried. I mean , in a pan . Shallow fried . I agree, give Mags a treat ♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡!!♡
Cheers Simon for amazing video enjoyed watching you and Maggie camping thanks Simon 😊 😀 👍
Well done for not making us not have to watch wood prepping. Everyone always fast forwards that as EVERY channel thinks chopping and sawing is fun to watch. 👍 we love Maggy she is amazing xxx
It's always a good day when you see Maggie covered in leaves and the ole girls big appetite. It's bliss watching Simons' adventures in the woods.
Maggie...
love ya Girl...
That Baker tent has to be one of the best tents I’ve seen. So cool
Absolutely love Maggie yr not too bad you’re self either, treasure every moment.
Sweet Mags always reminds me of the doggo that takes care of the Darling children in Peter Pan ❤
This was such an awesome video,and the obvious love you have for Maggie tells me you're an awesome guy as well. Keep up the good work.
Simon, you are a true hero to Maggie. You treat her well and you can tell that she enjoys being with you.
Here is to many more adventures for the two of you together!
I love heavy camping for a couple of nights, a week or more, especially with dogs, great food, sturdy/dry/comfortable/safe gear and things for which the Bureau of Alcohol Tobacco and Firearms might be interested. I love your survival/hiking/camping/recreation skills, courtesies and ethics, but frankly, it's the cooking dude. I love that percolator, and also total silence but the machinery, trains, private aircraft noise actually comforts me.
Much respect for you as a caring and loving dog owner. You are a great outdoor ambassador too. Magie is happy and enjoys your company as you do hers! Time is precious, so keep making those memorable moments a reality. Enjoy, and god bless you both, thanks for taking us along!
That is the absolute coolest coffee pot I have ever seen. I have never seen anything like that before.
Great video Simon, thank you. Fabulous to see Mags again. Look forward to the next one... love from Cape Town
Love that coffee pot!! Is that local?
@@catherinem2692 I believe it is vintage and Simon bought it on line, from somewhere in Europe. He mentions it in the video which is worth a watch.
Awww, it’s great to see Maggie enjoying her twilight years. It must take forever to brush the leaves out her fur. Lol
The Dog is the Best.
Spoil Maggie. She deserves it. I always look forward to your adventures with Maggie.
Thanks for another great video. Your love for Maggie is an inspiration for all of those who love animals. My best friends are dogs, their love and loyalty is far beyond any that I've ever found with people. I believe that it was the American writer Samuel Clemmons aka Mark Twain who said that, " if you feed a dog and treat it with kindness, it will be your friend and will not bite you, sadly the same can't always be said of people ". Stay well & safe mate .. Cheers.
Maggie is magnificent. Would love to see more of her in the future.
Man I love that tent! Good to see another of your awesome videos!🏕️🔥🪵🪓
YES!!! Trucking with Simon! Camping overnight with Simon AND Maggie. Thanks for taking us out again - very relaxing. ATB
The Gordon Ramsay of the bush is back, loved it
Maggie!! ❤🖤💖🖤❤
What a lovely dog ideal companion especially when camping 😊
I didn't skip ad for Maggie!
Maggie says thank you! 😂
The filmography, and the ambience of the whole scene conveys warmth, comfort and a sense of well being.. Common sense and practicality, companionship with your calm dog gives the viewer an insight into how relative minimalism can be so rewarding. Never thought I'd quote, " living the dream" , however, you really are.
Thanks for posting this. Made my evening.
Now that's the tent for me. Old and sturdy...like me! 🤣
😂😂
Living in the Appalachian Highlands here in Eastern Tennessee, I really appreciate the bluegrass music you add to your videos. It’s almost like seeing you wild camping in our neck of the woods. Except for the cooking and eating in camp business. You really don’t want your sleeping area smelling like food in bear country!
Went back to this episode to remember Maggie. such an Iconic episode in many ways
I think that it's awesome that you're still taking Maggie out on the adventures she is capable of doing.
Treat your dog well while you can. If that means a big treat that will make her happy, go for it. I've lost two dogs that I wish I would have given that little bit of extra sometimes. Don't get me wrong. They were spoiled beyond reason but you always second guess yourself after they are gone. I love the way you treat Maggie. Dan
Soothing sojourn to the woods and Maggie. Thanks for taking us there. She is certainly a grand old girl!
So brilliant to see you out again Maggie, thank you for brining Simon too! I can see why you do, he does look after you very well. 🤭. Everything about this camp looked just about perfect. Thank you for producing it and sharing it with us. All the best to you both. Paul.
Maggie old girl you are loved xxxxxx
Old dogs are the best love her while you can. I know you well
❤Maggie
Always good to see Maggie, she's a lovely old girl.
I love the sound of the engine on that Land Rover.
Great to see Maggie out with you again. It's always good to spend time with the family.
This channel is like a form of meditation for me. After work while I cook dinner, I have a few beers and light a few candles for my own mock campfire. It really helps me unwind.
Such a good tip about the canvas tearing. I knew the canvas shrunk,not that it will tear.
Thanks Simon
My friend, that is the best baker tent ever made. ❤️
What a lovely video, thank you so much.
A superb combination. Camping in woods, Maggie (such a sweetie), good food and your good self. Felt very relaxed watching this. Thank you for sharing a special time with Maggie, with us 🥰👍
Nice Simon, Yes When I go turkey hunting in spring season, very nice morning. I know what you feel like a good feeling of peace. Good to see Maggie
Always enjoy seeing Maggie on your trips. She seems to be a great gal!
Keep the videos coming, stay safe!
You have a gentle soul camping with you. Give Maggie a scratch for me.
Any video with Maggie is a great video…I mean, greater than usual.
It seams to me that when any dog or any person who spends time outdoors all day & into the evening , that night for some Strange reason we all sleep better at night , on that night . I guess it’s all the oxygen from the outdoors & the Vitamin D we get from the sun & all of the work or fun we have doing stuff we love outdoors . If you think about it , it’s pretty cool .
Hey Simon,
taking good care for Maggie ... Respect 10.5 years old for a new foundlander TOP !!!
good food and a good bier , thats life friend !!
grtz from Holland , Janneman
Maggie sounds like my dog Poppy, albeit my dog's a Springer. She'll be 17 this year and, like Maggie, has slowed down and sleeps a lot. I used to walk for miles and miles with her up at my local forest but sadly she can just about manage a short, arthritic waddle to the end of the street and back these days. I'll miss her terribly when the time comes as I've had her since she was 9 weeks old. I'm dreading it but as you say, every extra day is a cherished day.
I had a wonderful Springer called Rollo who made it to seventeen....a magnificent dog...all I can say is...when the end comes write down as many positive memories as possible...all kind of thanks for the life share...he was my last dog...a replacement was just unimaginable...he taught me a good deal....
I hope you have some more quality time together - it’s devastating when they leave us - I know I’ll be broken when Maggie goes.
@@nigelturpin3533 That's a lovely idea!
You Love Them Every Day and Love Them More The Older They Become! Never Lost As Long You Hold Them In Your Heart And Memories!
I had a german shepherd lived for 18 yrs then 1 morning his back legs went bloody broke my heart losing him
Nothing better than waking up to tge birds and woodpeckers!
Maggie is lovely. You just have to appreciate every day of borrowed time once they get to that stage.
You are the most well equipped, neatest camper I have seen in a long time. Maggie is a doll and you make a good pair. Very nice video.
I absolutely adore Maggie, I grew up with Newfies
Glad I got to see Maggie at The Peddars Way. That was a fabulous video. Too cool she is still keeping up her best
Sweet Baby Ray's is our favorite!❤😊
Good to see Maggie with you. She belongs with you, and you both seem happy.
As usual, an absolutely wonderful video! Simon, it speaks so well of your character that you take such good care of Maggie. Good show my English cousin across the pond 🍺
Greetings from North Carolina USA. I just came across your channel , and must say: I love your camping and cooking style Watching you enjoy nature is delightful . Live life to the fullest and thank you for posting this great Video.
Yay! Maggie! Landie!!
Perfect mix.
It was really nice to see how you looked after your dog. You're such an organised camper.
You are my favorite...thanks for the music too...
