NEW Firebox Nano stove, Owning an English Woodland, Primitive Firelighting, Wiltshire Man

- Steve, a good friend has brought a small piece of woodland and invited me over for a tour of his woodland and an overnight bivi camp.
I used my Snugpak Ionosphere bivi and also had the chance to test out a new stove.
Steve from Folding Firebox kindly sent the stove to me as a gift,. Thankyou Steve:) The Folding Firebox Nano was supplied with a gas adapter. This stove is quite unique as it has the ability to adjust the flame allowing for a hot cooking flame or a slow more ambient yellow flame, there is also a flame spreader which Steve calls the "Ember plate". It's quite ingenious and really works well to distribute the heat evenly across the bottom of the pan.
I hope you enjoy the video. Please subscribe to be informed of when I upload again in the future. Thanks:)
More woodland videos please sandy, these are your best ones
Thanks Darren, I try and get a Woodland overnighter in atleast once every month:) Hope to be at the Preppers meet in Wales this year too
@@WiltshireMan thats fantastic mate, looking forward to it big time
Funkyprepper! why are you not showing on my feed?! I will get that sorted out post haste!
@@michaelwoodbury1788 I've been shadow banned by the grown ups. Its massively effected my TH-cam channel
Definitely something special about a woodland camp. Pleased I've seen your comment I've not seen your channel for some time. Always enjoyed your vids and you sharing quality cigars 👍👍👍
Steve is very lucky to have custody of the woodland that would be a busman's holiday for me!
I love the birds singing in the background
Welcome Steve to Bushcrafting and congratulations on acquiring your own 3 acres of heaven. Great video Sandy!
Sandy: So good to see you again I have been going non stop getting ready for the Blade Show and had a great time at it last weekend. Many good friends came by and we had a blast . I am cranking my youtube channel back up and have some pretty cool surprises to show on it as well as some favorites from the past. One of them I am sure you will know well.
I will have to check out Bruce, glad your doing stuff again
Sandy, you can honestly compliment your friend Steve with the purchase of this piece of woodland👌🏻 Hope you will be able to enjoy many bushcamps there...we will accompany you as always👍🏻 Kind regards
Sorry I’m late to the game, I had a bit of an accident and broke a bone in my hand, so things were a little chaotic. Glad I did not miss this fantastic video. Steve sounds like a good bloke. He did a bang up job lighting those two fires. Good job editing Sandy. Thanks for sharing. Tony.
Ouch sounds painful Tony hope you soon mend
Gets me out Sandy. Thanks mate ❤
Nice to meet another woodland fan, and the Aeropress makes the best coffee in our testing, worth a try.
Hi Sandy - Brilliant as ever. Dusky.
One night? I'd need a Month in a Woodland like that lol. Looking forward to more of this.
Hi there, Just to say thank You, Your videos have inspired Me to get out and have a solo camping trip.and I thoroughly enjoyed it. I loaded up My old Volvo estate with My camping gear and My mobility scooter, and went to the Savernake forest Wiltshire, England. I am leg disabled so I went to a campsite as I can have My car close by. I took My tepe style tent and I set up a large 4m square DD Tarp over the top. for cooking and heat I have a paraffin wick stove, and I have a twig burner as well that performed great at boiling up a cowboy coffee. Because it's England I had three days of glorious sunshine then a torrential downpour with thunder! But because I'm English I was prepared and took gear to cope with Four seasons weather. I had a ride through the ancient forest to see the giant trees and thousand Year old oaks. I had planned a relaxing time and the atmosphere and ambience of camping made Me feel wonderfully relaxed and refreshed, it was a lovely experience that I can thoroughly recomend. Thanks Again. Jahmahrah
I am pleased you were able to get out even though you are disabled. The weather is the weather, here in Good England when it is hot it is hot, when it is Cold it is Cold and when it is wet it is Wet, but we still smile whatever happens!
Always great to get "Chug" out of the garage and let it get out there in the dirt and the woods and the beautiful paths that leads to your destinations. That looks like a pretty nice piece of property that your friend Steve purchased. A very nice place to hang out for the day or to stay and camp overnight at. I hope that he gets plenty of opportunities to enjoy it. Thanks for letting us enjoy your outing along with you. And the bivi and the Firebox stove looked like pretty good additions to your woodland camping inventory. See you on the next one my friend.
It's always nice to go for a ride and camp on Chug:)
What lovely way to spend an evening. Thanks
Great video. A lovely woodland there. I remember Victorian Kitchen Garden. My fav was Out Of Town and later Old Country with the great Jack Hargreaves.
Steak in the woods don’t get much better than that …nice one Sandy 👍🏻
A dream purchase for Steve! Just set up a heavy tarpaulin as a roof, build yourself a shave horse and pole lathe from the wood on site and you'll have endless enjoyment making chairs, stools, utensils etc. Plus you're sitting on an ever growing asset. Regards Keith
I've got a heavy canvas tarp that Steve can have
I might just have to invest in a draw knife!
@@SteveSeadog You won't regret it! Just add a good axe and maybe a copy of Green Woodwork by Mike Abbott and you are set for hours of fun. Regards Keith
A great Video Sandy, nevermind all this bikes and gadgets save your money and buy a Wood...then we can see the real Wiltshire Man !
Really enjoyed the video Sandy , Steve seems a really good friend . Keep up the great work 😊😊.
That’s exactly what you need… your own slice of paradise! You can’t go wrong with land.
Just sat down with in coffee stealth camping, great timing, my friend
Nice one Dan:)
That looked like a lovely day/night out.
Wow wee, Imagine having that whole area to explore & enjoy at your leisure. Must feel amazing having such a place. Thanks Steve for letting us see it through your eyes Sandy. Cheers!
It was great to wander through Steve's wood, it's big enough to get lost in:)
Wonderfull Sandy,you can keep yer fancy restaurants, your fineskind
Oh to have a small patch of woodland. Great to see a BMW biker in a leather hat too.
The law of the road doesn't apply there Ralph:)
What a great woodland....a prefect place to go to and relax. Your friend Steve is very lucky. I look forward to your future visits to this wood. Thanks for the post, as always it made me smile :)
Hi Joe,
Often the case is the harder someone works the luckier they get!
Great video Sandy. He’s a lucky chap owning a nice piece of woodland like that. I remember the Victorian kitchen garden series, it was always good viewing. I didn’t realise it was there.
I remember Harry Dodson in The Victorian Kitchen Garden ! Magical TV.
I used to regularly drive past Steve's wood. Lovely wood, but too noisy for me. Rhododendrons are natural here in Hampshire 😉
Well done Sandy, really enjoyed the walk around the wood and the camp. Which has made me think, my brother has got a wood, hmmmm
Yes John, see if you can get some woodland camping in, you'll love it:)
If more people became stewards of a little wild wood or water and people experienced it for its effect on the mind, I think it would put the mental health clinic out of business. This is a beautiful little place to expand the mind.
The red wine sauce lol
Thanks Sandy what a lovely place thanks for sharing
Glad you enjoyed it Peter
hi, Sandy my friend, i am still around but have problems with blue light on screens. So i just watch a few minutes. To hear your voice and see an adventure.
Beautiful woodland, bye ✌️
If you go into your PC settings you can set an eyesheild blue light filter, all on software
@@WiltshireMan i know Jack, i have tried everything, even bought expensive glasses to protect me from blue light. At this moment the only thing that really helps is no computer screens.
I looked into a piece of woodland a few months ago here in west Cumbria - i couldnt believe how much money they wanted for it , it was ridiculous for a piece of land you can't do anything with and basically as it stands anyone can walk all around in there as i did , people walking dogs and really why would i want to fence it off - it was somewhat remote so you didnt get teens in there messing the place up as they do every other area around here , litter EVERYWHERE. You could camp there no more than a certain number of days in a row and so many days a year - i forget the numbers now - you could put a small shed/hut type structure there but like Steve said your basically a custodian of the land which may as well be the job of the council.
Nice video. Nothing like a relaxing peaceful night in the woods
That was the perfect woodland camp, really enjoyed that Sandy 😊
Wicked having private woodland to camp on Sandy, especially when its someone you know 👌
I have a friend who allows me too camp on private land also and it makes it more enjoyable having a beer or too with a fire. The best head space is in nature 👍
It sure is Coopz, can't beat a nice woodland camp
This was really refreshing watching this cuz I have been in bed for a few weeks. Steve has a really nice piece of the woods also! Can't wait to see more of the visits there. This is quite far for a camp - use to seeing you bicycle for a sleep over.
Anyway, as always, stay safe an healthy my friend!
Dan. Whats wrong? I hope your on the mend?
Nice one sandy I enjoy watching your videos keep them up mate😊
Lovely video again Sandy , looking forward to the next one .
More to come Roger, thanks for watching
I think Bry would love any purple woodland floor Sandy 😁 well said, amazing how well simple green kit blends in a forrest, good food, good company what a perfect bug out.Harry
Haaha Purple is his favourite colour
Simply lovely.
Brilliant video Sandy what a stunning woodland, your friend it definitely blessed. Take care buddy atb, Garry
Thanks Garry:) Steve does have a lovely piece of English Woodland. I see you have been out, I'll have to catch-up with your activities on the tube
What a beautiful woodland. Lucky to have friends like this. Steve should start his own channel.
Steak and three veg in the woodlands. Far cry from the cowboys pinto beans and back meat. You've come a long way baby! LOL
How lovly to have your own piece of woodland beautiful Steve. Sandy you were certainly looked after look forward to seeing it in the seasons. Love the variety of your videos Sandy always well filmed.
Steve sure is a good guy and has his priorities in order, he will make a great custodian of this woodland
That firebox looked a fiddly little gizmo with all those allen key things all over the place! What a setting though. Steve is a very lucky chap to own it. Trail cams around the place was a great idea to capture footage of wildlife.
Quite a few parts thats true but it does work well Oscar
Good to see old chug again, and a new safe place to camp, it dosent get much better than that, fair play on steve for the invite!
Glad you enjoyed it Simon and it was nice to be out on the Himalayan too
Hi Sandy, another entertaining video mate, Steve's a lucky bloke and so were you mate! looks like a lovely place to stay, we cant all be as fortunate as Steve and have our own bit of woodland, but I think Steve appreciates that and will be a grate custodian for his time with the wood. Good health and good luck to him.
Regards to one and all in the house of the Wiltshire Man.
I love seeing ferns in the forest, it makes me think of all the smaller dinosaurs that might have used it for cover millions of years ago.😊
It's the small ones you have to watch out for. I've seen the documentary, Jurassic Park.
@@sarkybugger5009 Haaha
Your own woodland, much better than a man cave + much easier to say sorry my love i had no signal on my phone! Great video again, thank you 👍👌
If I were you I would keep well in with Steve, he is a man who has got his priorities right. Great stuff!!
I should say so:)
Great 👍 video 👍 great skills and knowledge never knew u could ride a motorcycle good on ya
Been riding motorcycles on and off since I was 16. Now almost 61
Great Video Sandy ! I was on the farm here in Devon and notice one of the stone barns was only 1+1/2 levels high, when I asked the "60 yr old farm hand" for want of a better word he said "as a kid I had a Triang metal toy cooker, I wanted breakfast so I stuffed the cooker with hay from the upstairs loft and started to cook some bacon"..On a 1940s toy stove, 4 days that barn burnt for! the story makes me laugh every time I walk out out the house to the car and see half a bricked up doorway above my car !
Every building tells a story Tim, especially the old ones
As always, fantastic, educational and useful video😊 thank you 😊
Thanks TAYM:)
@@WiltshireMan would it be possible for you to do a video on the complete setup for someone to go Moto camping for a long weekend using equipment that doesn’t cost much. I fancy doing it but when I look at (for example) tents, they range from £30 to £500. And that’s before I start looking at all the little things you might need. Is it possible to get everything you would need for say £150? 😁 if not how much. You know, stuff that’s not going to break after the first camp. 😁 I think I know the answer 😕 thanks.
@@TAYM Haaha, yes I think you know the answer. Unless you can buy second hand then I would go for a budget of around £300 to £500 for all the camping gear. That should buy you gear that will last several years.
You'll need a spacious 2 man tent to give you room for yourself and all the biker kit, 3 man is even better. Expect to pay £150 upwards. My moto tent is an MSR Elixir2 .A good quality 3 season sleeping bag will cost from £50 upwards. Some nice bags in Go outdoors. Sleeping mats, a decent stove etc. Backpackers have been known to spend hundreds maybe even thousands on ultra light kit, but moto camping allows us to carry slightly heavier and therefore cheaper gear.
Trangia 27 is my favourite stove, it runs on meths and has nesting pots and they will last for ever:)
@@WiltshireMan bought the trangia last year so that’s something of the list😁
Nice piece of woodland that. Many more of these camos to come please Sandy. Bushyboy Oz.
I've been up on exmoor recently and got covered in sheep tiks.
I've been told due to more organic farming methods the tik population will be expanded
Nice camp that one sandy. Steve looked after you well 😊👍 busy busy this end sorting out things but it’s absolutely lovely to live in a nice part of the country now. No regrets. 🫡♥️
fantastic Marcus, Mandy showed me the text. Your old landlady is proper greedy. Best thing you did was move. I'll give you a call soon
@@WiltshireMan yes it was. We love it here, it’s blissful ♥️🥰👍
Great video Sandy, could you do me a favour and ask Steve if this woodland can be my permissable woodland to do wild camps at ... 😉👍🏻
Lovely video Sandy, unfortunately, the stove is too much faff for me. Too many bits that could be lost or broken. Keep it simple works for me
Yes there is logic in your thinking Charles
Lovely bit of land to camp out at...very kind of you Steve. Great video Sandy
Your English woodlands are fantastic places Sandy. They are always so green and lush.
also good for growing mushrooms.
Another fantastic video. Thanks for taking us along for the ride. Hard to beat a wildcamp at this time of year.
Like ur friends woods he should do it as a campsite or Bushcraft courses
Really enjoyed your company, Sandy. Look forward to doing it again sometime.
Thanks Steve, Really enjoyed the woodland and your company. I can well understand how chuffed you are now with that lovely woodland:)
What do I think, I think it is incredible, and as you know, purple is my colour, I would be happy to own somewhere like that, really glorious. Many people want to own a big house, fast cars and a 52 inch television... but people like us would be more than content owning a piece of woodland somewhere quiet.
Hahaa, I saw the colour Purple and I immediately thought of you:)
@@WiltshireMan You know me too well....!
What a lovely woodland , will be great to see it through the seasons Sandy .
Cheers Dave, I shall try and camp there in every season, should be interesting to see the wood change throughout the year
Great video Sandy what a great setting imagine owning your own woodland how cool 👍
Excellent as always mate! 👌🏽👌🏽 thank you for sharing with us 👍🏻👍🏻😎 very best wishes
What a lovely woodlands, looks great .thanks for sharing. God bless you and your family and happy camping 🏕. Lee
Thank you too
I just bought that same burner and really like it. Enjoy your videos.
Totally relaxing- now feeling some envy-A great video Sandy 👍
😊 thank you James
Lovely bit of ancient woodland, Sandy. My family own a similar sized wood, but it's on the side of a steep bank, and now has a busy dual-carriageway running down one side. ☹
If Steve was asleep before you lit that stove, I bet he wasn't for long, after... I found the same with the Trangia gas burner. Quick as you like, but makes a bloody awful row.
All the best.
The gas burners do make a racket thats for sure. Shame about the dual carriageway ruining the peace of a tranquil wood. They call it progress!
@@WiltshireMan It is / was a much needed road, but it totally ruined the peace and quiet of the whole area. I've only visited the wood twice, in the 30 years since the road has been open. You have to put them somewhere, I suppose...
Ahhhhhhh camping.
I have the original Aeropress coffee maker. It's a great little gadget.
Great video you guys. Steve's a natural on camera. What a privilege to have your own woodland, best thing is Steve knows that. Nice one Sandy 👍
Enjoyed this video bro and what a lovely spot to chill with your good friend and on his property to boot. Has he plans on making some kind of small camp site or leave it natural. Safe travels
Hi Ken - the plan is to leave it natural. It's classed as semi-ancient woodland so has had minimal interference. I'll just manage it sympathetically.
Makes sense cheers.
A++++.
Hi Wiltshire man, my first time messaging you. Just wanted to thank you for your awesome video's. I'm more into your camping videos than cycling. Also your veg garden videos are great. Can you please put up a update on how the garden is going. Keep up the great work mate
Awesome, thank you Paul. I'll try and do a garden update soon
@@WiltshireMan Hi mate, wondering about the woods walker stove. I've got one but can I get the under oven separate as an add on. I can't find anything online. Thanks and much love
Creating fire from nothing makes you feel ancestrally attached.
Yes thats quite true
Nice content, subbed.
Much appreciated. Thankyou:)
Looks like you guys had a great time. 🙂
Great as always Sandy, always looking forward to your next one, thinking back a few vids, was it you that took a book on a camp and recommended it? Not sure if it was one of yours, if it was, what was the book? I can’t for the life of me remember the title🤷♂️
I can't remember taking a book recently on a camp, but I do read a fair bit
I've been on the hunt for years, can never find a way to justify the cost to my wife
Wood for wood Nobby:)
Thank you for sharing your adventure! What kind of tea did you make? Do you have poison ivy in the UK? We have it here in Minnesota. Cheers!
We don't have poison ivy over here Dan. My tea was made from Nettles:)
Wow! You have to get permission to cut wood down on your own land? It's not like that in the US. Not that I'm advocating for people to clear cut the land. I owned 47 acres with my brothers and we had a forester come out and mark the trees that would best be thinned and we got them taken down and sold them for a good amount of money. it didn't hurt the woods at all. It actually helped because it opened things up allowing more trees can grow in the future.
It's unusual, but it can be done by the seller using a Restrictive Covenant. The seller obviously wanted to stop future owners engaging in forestry and given the high price for timber at the moment, I can understand why.
Great place but honestly how do you deal with ticks. Just get used to it?
Good video what make of gas stove did you use in the firebox
As mentioned in the video, it was Firebox's own burner ashley
Did you feel like you were camping in his back yard?......
No, not really I just saw it as another patch of English woodland
If you're 5'10", then what's Steve, about 4'6"? 🤔😂😂
😊😊👍👍👌👌❤❤
I'm wondering how long a road trip will take on my 125 to go camping with you and beg a blade
Yikes nearly 300 miles! I'd need to stop off I'll ask my girlfriend when she can look after the dogs "if the mountain won't go to mohamed and all that" when the best time to catch you sandy? My bike does 140 mpg lol
Ps I'm Al fresco food long time ;-)
Hahaa, where abouts do you live Glen?
@WiltshireMan co. Durham North east England:-)
That's about 30 mile from Newcastle sandy, how's best to contact you or vice versa
So based upon the opening monologue and brief initial chatter it seems like the Subjects of the Realm MAY purchase land, maintain it using your own hard earned income, pay the taxes on it, pay for the road improvements or court costs to gain access to your property, but your Government dictates how you may use “YOUR” property? I mean, do you need THEIR PERMISSION to cut down a tree whose diameter is 6cm or better? Is that an arbitrary decision or just Government overreach?This makes no sense from an outsiders prospective.
a bit of over reach but there are some who would also cut down tree's that should be left alone. Over here in the crowded UK woodland is a precious resource
It looks a bit characterless to me,all fences & no real old trees.
Sorry to be critical but for my money real old rotten trees are where it's at & all I see is them being cut down everywhere & the sections strewn about like giant Lego bricks.
What a great feeling it must be to own your own woodland and to have a good friend like Steve for lots more woodland camping videos Sandy🏕️
Great video Sandy. He’s a lucky chap owning a nice piece of woodland like that. I remember the Victorian kitchen garden series, it was always good viewing. I didn’t realise it was there.
Like ur friends woods he should do it as a campsite or Bushcraft courses
