    I could hear the mud squishing about underfoot! We know a bit about that here in New England. Great to see you making the best out of a "lock down" situation. No luck for me yet, maybe next time. Thanks for your time Simon. Great video as always.

    One positive thing about winter camping, the beer stays cold without being on ice. Hey that's cool, opens from the top to step in instead of crawling through an end. Congratulations winners.

    Hi Simon
    A handy basecamp / homestead trick for splitting logs is to take an old trailer tyre laid flat on your chopping surface, then vertically load your logs in the middle so as you split them with your axe they stay "in the loop".
    Thus they don't fall onto the damp ground and more importantly it saves your back from all that bending down to pick it all up !
    Stay safe !
    Si.

    Glad to see you staying safe at home and not making unnecessary Journeys even if it's just to keep us entertained, cheers.

    Great to see you pushing swags Simon. I spent a few months camping up the east cost of Australia with the other half a couple of years back. I loved the concept of a swag and speaking to fellow Australian campers the positive feed back I got was positive hopefully they will catch on in the UK. Also congratulations on hitting 100k. All your content is superb and very useful 👍

    Lovely Lock Down Swag Camp. Loved it. Thank you. The pack up music at the end was really crazy in a good way, made me smile :-)

    Ive had an Outhaus Swag for a few years now and it is a top notch bit of kit. Excellent after sales service from Ollie the owner of the company as well. Highly recommended.

      He’s a top bloke isn’t he!
      Really like the swag - it’s going to be hard to go back to using other sleep system/shelter combinations haha!
