Well I first watched this 2 years ago and have been lusting after a TJM Metalworks “pocket fire anchor” and the “original pan mini fire anchor” ever since!😩🤔. I’m very happy to say I’ve finally forked out for both, can’t wait to get to use it!😁🔥🔥 I’ve also had a titanium honey stove with the extension “hive”. That is absolutely brilliant, so light, it lives in my backpack permanently. With the extension, it is the perfect size for a campfire, I rarely have a fire on the ground nowadays, there’s no need and it’s so easy to clean up after with no ugly scar on the ground, I highly recommend it. I also have a firebox which I love but rarely take nowadays due to the weight, I’ve been on the lookout for a titanium one, but the one place that sold them no longer has any and I begrudge paying the ridiculous postal charges for one from America, so……☹️
Cheers Simon, we injoy you're videos, we has in myself and wife and 4 year old, she likes you're videos with Andy, and yourself and Maggie, sorry to hear her passing, look forward to more new videos.
I'm all about that British made now, If I ever want something I always check if there's a British made one. This video is a gold mine for me! Cheers nice work.
I'm in Canada, and I swear by my Karrimor SF Sabre 45! I also have Snugpak, Sealskinz, and hopefully one day, one of Simon's saws!!! You can't beat good British gear, and funny, it's often easier to get kit from there, than the States. Funny how most of the Canadian bushcraft companies are owned and operated by ex-Pats!!!! Cheers!
Thanks for the overview Simon - there's definitely something very reassuring about using UK based manufacturers - I've had several items from Scott at Thornhill Ultra Heavy - mostly waxed canvas kit but he'll make to order too for very reasonable cost
G'day Simon. That's what we should all want to see. Made in Australia, Made in the UK. Made in the USA. Bring our businesses home. Produce items that last a lifetime. Own products we can be proud of. Support the craftsman down the street, over the creek and leave the cheap copies in the department stores.! The land down under Mike 🤠
Me thinks you wear that hat year round, but no one's judging! It's a nice topper! Give Mags a belly rub! I'm sure she's in desperate need of one. Thank for the new vid and shopping ideas.
A great message at the right time. Support home industry and artisans. I am trying to use the internet to search for this stuff and stop chasing the cheap import to save a penny on slave manufactured goods. Sounds noble and is quite difficult to do when faced with the barrage of cheap imported goods. Anyway your choice people. Good man Simon. Take a stand and pass it on.
I totally agree with you James, cheap products cost what they do because production costs are low - low production cost ideally means poor working conditions and low pay for the workers. 😔
After watching this video, I purchased a box pouch from David Friars... What an amazingly well made piece of kit... I will be buying more for sure.... looks like he's reasonably local (within 30mins drive) so pleased to be supporting local traders. Good call Simon!!
I've had a Landy tent since 2013 great bit of kit used it all over Europe and North Africa. I got mine from Landy Box who I believe sold the rights to Outhaus. Certainly a great bit of kit.
Simon, Simon, this video just cost me dear! I’ve just been to TJM and Ben Oford’s sites and now I am spent up. Some really great gear out there. Appreciate the steer.
Great tea bags. I use a bigger one for coffee daily. Decrease waste. I do quasi cowboy coffee. Though my sons great grandmother everyday made egg coffee water cowboy coffee........ funny. In the midwest US the outhouse is a camping privy......Thanks for all the tips...
LOVED THIS. I've subscribed because of this vid. PLS Do more about local.domestic providers .... they don't have to be top 5 .... they just have to be reliable quality.
Hey Simon. Great looking high quality gear. I'd buy all of them but things are so tight that food is top priority. Plus knowing we are in tribulation already, half way in 2021 that every dream of a future is halted. The way our government is treating us, we haven't much chance for recreational activities. Thursday is Thanksgiving so I'm heading to the State Park for a walk with God. Glad to see your still getting out and about. God Bless You. I really would like to buy from TJM, I like his workmanship. Finally got my Billy cans. A little at a time, in order of cost affordability.
Great stuff from back home now me i enjoy making this stuff but im proud of all of you well done and ill do more vidos on u tube about hydrogen in old diesels
I love buying British where I can, even if it means saving for a little longer. And I love my Bridgedale socks, they are so comfy and warm and have lasted years!
Totally agree, whenever possible, support local craftspeople. The hand forged ironwork you demonstrated took me back to the states in the small New England town I lived in for many years. Gilmanton Iron Works New Hampshire (yes, the very same place Grace Metalious wrote Peyton place). Several proto-type machine shops were located there. One shop owner had a hobby of restoring Stanly Steamers. You can not run down to the local wrecking yard or car parts distributor for replacements. He collaborated with a gentlemen who was renting a complete blacksmith shop my neighbour had constructed to forge new front axels and then did the machining. Until the machinists death, they would fill orders for new axels that came in . The young fellow renting the shop created all manner of iron work. wall hooks, brackets for shelves and the list went on and on. He even forged a bolt handle for me when I was restoring an old rifle back to shooting condition.
Hallo Simon, thank you for your very nice videos! I work as shopgirl in Rock Point (outdoor equipment) in Prague. For me is very interesting get to know the British brands, which we do not sell here! I wish you all good! So sorry for my English 😉
Hi Simon! A nice group of interesting English companies. I like to take a look - and who knows, maybe some things will find their way here to Germany. Cheers Tobi
Excellent video and a great idea to pinpoint UK small businesses. I like to shop 'in-country'.... Whichever country I'm in, I like to buy things that were made in-that-country. e.g. I have a fantastic alpaca poncho from Peru. Perfect for S.America or UK camping.
This was really helpful, not a Brit citizen, I'm from the other side of Europe... like South...wayyy south. But as an ex-British colony and citizen of the British Commonwealth I will always try to support our friends the British people. Cheers. And is it has been for centuries Rule Brittania! Godspeed.
I got the Ben and Lois Orford carving knife and a Richard Outdoors Frie Trough after watching your videos.I think both are good pieces of kit.I put the Honey Stove on my Christmas list and I have been mostly good so will see if ol Santa will leave me one under the tree.😄🎅
Fantastic Simon mate, my sentiments exactly. You know what your getting from local rather than waiting for a product for 6 weeks coming from overseas that falls apart after the first use.
My mini fire anchor (that I bought after seeing in your video ages ago) is single handed the best thing I use at camp to cook with. Zebra billy can hangs off it and I cook meat on the griddle or use my scandi fold pan also on it. Amazing quality. I will take a look at David’s bags for it as I want a pouch to keep the fire anchor in and also my scandi folding pan. Watching your videos is a great insight in to kit like this and seeing it used it great. Always nice to see genuine reviews first before purchasing goods.
@@jamesellsworth9673 great pan, single layer metal so have to be careful about placing on very hot coals as you will burn the food quick, but when you get the right heat, the pan is a great size and works brilliantly. folds for good storage and the handle is solid. Highly recommend them and also the mini fire anchor. great combo together
The barbecue tool on firewood is so creative and excellent. That's a great idea. Overall, your video impresses me. Thank you. From South Korean TH-camr Woongkham.💝💝💝👍👍👍
Great video of great gear! I just got my Tjm mini anchor and it’s a great piece! Unfortunatly since Brexit it is very expensive to get them to Sweden due to taxes and customs. Take care!
Thanks for this video, i too agree we should be supporting our British businesses who make some wonderful great kit..... Much respect sir and great video.
Top marks for plugging good quality British products. Way to many people in this country are all to content to accept an inferior overseas product just because its cheap. Quality counts, and will always pay you back on the long run.

Great in these times to promote the small guys 👏👏👏
Any video with Maggie is a great video. The guy is pretty good, too.
I really appreciate you making this video and the description. Thankyou. I'm always on the lookout for small British brands

I'm in America, those are some good Items, wouldn't mind seeing a series on UK makers. Show us More 8)
I think I could easily become a canvas bag addict if I allowed myself.
I love canvas... Until I have to carry it haha
Great video please keep them comeing Good job
Thanks for the overview Simon - there's definitely something very reassuring about using UK based manufacturers - I've had several items from Scott at Thornhill Ultra Heavy - mostly waxed canvas kit but he'll make to order too for very reasonable cost
Thanks for shopping locally. Very cool.
That tjm metalworks gear is genius and looks awesome
G'day Simon.
That's what we should all want to see. Made in Australia, Made in the UK. Made in the USA. Bring our businesses home. Produce items that last a lifetime. Own products we can be proud of. Support the craftsman down the street, over the creek and leave the cheap copies in the department stores.!

Great video...I’m in the states but love learning about small companies making quality gear!

Done my bit for the UK economy and bought a Honey Stove - 'cos I really needed ANOTHER stove.
You can never have too many! 😁🔥👍
Was thinking on Steve's firebox stove. Never have enough stoves to choose from.

Hi Simon!
A nice group of interesting English companies. I like to take a look - and who knows, maybe some things will find their way here to Germany.
Cheers
Tobi
Great video you chose some great items to show, i will be getting some of the steel forged items for my camp.
Brilliant,So much information.Thanks for how thorough that was.Cannot believe 31 people gave it a thumbs down,No need!!!
Absolutely, support our small British manufacturers
Brilliant video! Thanks
Outstanding!!!
Excellent video and a great idea to pinpoint UK small businesses. I like to shop 'in-country'.... Whichever country I'm in, I like to buy things that were made in-that-country. e.g. I have a fantastic alpaca poncho from Peru. Perfect for S.America or UK camping.
Awesome gear. Thanks for sharing
And a still fabulous list for Wish List items for yet another Christmas! Still ‘IN’. Thank you Simon ❤️, we love you!
Got one of the Pocket Fire Anchors on my Crimbo list already - cheers for the heads up on TJM Metalworks
Great video and recommendations, thank you!
Very well said.
Thank you for another interesting video
Great video, thanks for sharing some great companies.
Thank you for your help
Good stuff Simon
Brilliant video, I get a great sense of satisfaction by buying kit crafted and designed in the UK. Brilliant.
Do another and show us more British stuff🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧👍👍👍
Nice video. Great products. Would love to see them here in the states. Time to order some stuff.
I love watching you out and about with Maggie. Cheers!
Well done 👍 It’s good to have someone promote the small businesses in the UK, I’m thinking I might be spending some money soon
This was really helpful, not a Brit citizen, I'm from the other side of Europe... like South...wayyy south. But as an ex-British colony and citizen of the British Commonwealth I will always try to support our friends the British people. Cheers.
And is it has been for centuries Rule Brittania! Godspeed.
Thanks Bernard! 👍
Every time I see Maggie come out of the brush, my mind screams, "BEAR"!
A good video and good tips/links. Gonna order from TJM, Thanks fra Northern Norway

If you contact Dave, he’ll make bags to your spec too - I’m going to get him to make me one for my Scandi pan too. 👍👍

Take care!
Good to see the variety of British products/manufacturers. Hat looks great quality.
Nice use of the paddle shavings. Wondered if you would squirrel them away for that use.👍👍
Hahaha - I’ll be using it for some time I reckon! 🔥🔥
Thanks for this video, i too agree we should be supporting our British businesses who make some wonderful great kit..... Much respect sir and great video.
Top marks for plugging good quality British products. Way to many people in this country are all to content to accept an inferior overseas product just because its cheap. Quality counts, and will always pay you back on the long run.
Good to see you supporting the little man. Some real quality products there.
great gears
Give a Maggie a good scratching for me!
