2 NIGHTS WILD CAMPING WITH A OLD FRIEND

I just collect it from the village and then dry it on my heater There is a patch to the left I'm off tomorrow There are trees and they are young as well so the bottom of the bark is really good It just peels off You obviously don't need a knife to dig into the bark or damage it You're just taking what it gives you pretty much Just a little bit off each tree It does the job You can actually accumulate a lot of it really fast I've been looking for some of that Webbing pouches that go on the belt You just fill it with stuff as you're walking along Like a dump pouch Yeah If the weather is good tomorrow I want to try out that drawstring method I was talking about I've never actually been successful with it but I've tried it I know how it works It's all just trial and error That's me logged out by the campfire now Nice big juicy logs Bring us a nice hot ember for cooking I've also got my tarp set up and sorted I'm at the first woodland camp I'm with my good friend Adam He's setting up his tent I haven't gotten him used to the hammock yet but I'll get there We'll get him It's boiling right now Adam is just setting up his tent The water is done I have Adam's tiny spoon Tiny spoon Yeah but I have And my lock knife Can you hear that It's the lock knife And it says K-Bar on the knife Can you see it So that's the K-Bar kit It isn' t very good It's tiny The spoon should have been bigger It's very good It'd be funny just to watch I thought Americans were stereotypically bigger than Dude don't even get into that stuff mate Don't even get into that I had to get big with something like that Yeah but it's all about small meals isn't it And ration packs That's what it's designed for Ration packs so you can reach in the bottom And get the one piece of meat that you get Look at Adam's plate Isn't it brilliant Just look at it Isn't it special My boy told me I had to take that But I wasn't coming out I love it It's awesome We have chocolate cake for dessert Look at that handsome fellow It's amazing I love your plate you know Me too I'm going to use that every time I come out It's even got the little compartments It's going to be funny trying to get a chicken dinner on that tomorrow I'm going to put the peas and broccoli in there and then a little bit of chicken in there and gravy in there To go with your tiny spoon It's a tiny spoon Well guys it's been a really good night Lots of good conversation I haven't really filmed very much tonight The walking and all that is something we haven't really seen before Yeah tomorrow morning I'll show you the camp Adam's tent My hammock is set up as usual Yeah we'll see you all in the morning The sun has started to rise We've been having heavy rain like this for about three hours now It's actually been really relaxing just lying here listening to the rain Looks like it's going to be a very wet day Fresh leaves have fallen from the trees and the wind scattered them It's looking pretty camouflaged don't you think Can you hear Adam snoring Adam is snoring Okay so we've started to pack up We're going to get breakfast on the go before we leave We're going to head up to another two camps and then Check out the woodland camp for tonight Just going to start packing up all my stuff now Nothing worse than a wet tarp to pack up You can just hear inflatable Matt How you doing You can hear all the apples falling There 's loads of them I absolutely love these dry sacks to put our sleeping bag in It makes such a difference and just keeps it dry Then inside that Yeah the dry sack There's our bacon rolls people Some nice bacon rolls there We're pretty much packing up now Yeah I'm still getting my tent up Getting there It's been about an hour now hasn't it I'm kidding I've got my hammock set up Still waiting for my tarp to come down I'm going to do that after breakfast and coffee So we're back on the path now Heading to the check on two camps and then to the woodland camp where we stay tonight It's quite wet and the rain has stopped too We've come a long way already Yeah algae So we just dropped by to check out the beach camp Everything's fine Very windy here Going to head up to the second one now and have a look at it It's all solid with the wedges I put in It is isn't it It's all about the angle Did you have to put any skewers into the ground No no It's just like there's a big beam across the bottom And then there are these two parts that come up on the sides but they're wedged in because they're V-shaped So the bottom V-shape is holding the first two Logs are in place Then the V strengthens it It's quite amazing Something I stumbled on by accident when a wall collapsed on us I was building a perfectly straight wall and it collapsed into sort of that formation The ground there was really strong So I kept it as a bench It's a good bench I've tried it now Those stones were cold We're still moving forward It turned out to be a beautiful day We've just gone to collect the split roast and some cooking equipment the split roast poles So we can get lunch and go out to the new camp So I'm back here My first woodland camp My second woodland camp I've got my oven here We're going to have a nice chicken dinner and some roast pork Adam put his tent away and he' s got a hammock set up tonight Same hammock as me But I'll give it a try Green tarp You'll love it Just been dragging in some dead branches for the fire to get it going That's both our hammock setups all set up now Adam's just pitching up his tent to dry it out The little camp is looking good Loads of leaf coverage today I see some split roast poles there too Put the pole on Keep on dragging firewood So tiring So literally we've got that pile over there that pile there and I've dragged these and this in And then I've got that pile there and the little few I've just started And that's taken us about a good 20 minutes to just process that amount of wood That's the tent up and drying I really like this tent Adam I like the shape of the door Is that can you pull that Does it have a rope so you can pull it tight It's really epic There's Adam's sleep setup Pretty close to the same as mine apart from just using an inflatable roll mat and a different kind of sleeping bag Nice charging batteries there Right so I'm getting ready to start cooking Going to feast on the go I've got the split roast pole up and running The two Poles from the other camp that went up and got And then our good old split roast thing I'm going to get a joint of pork on there and we're going to roast that over the night slowly Got the oven on the go Took out some rocks and put all the hot ash at the back and I've left a gap so I can keep the flames away from it or closer to it depending So for the starter we're having Salmon on crute Which is basically salmon wrapped in puff pastry with something like a parsley cream sauce inside it And then we're going to have that with new potatoes and stir fried Spring greens A bit out of season but why not So these are the salmon parcels It' s just basically a fillet of salmon wrapped in puff pastry It's got some nice buttery sauce inside it too Thinking about adding an edge to that tray as well But we'll see how it goes Pork's on That's for later tonight A nice cut of pork Put the Salmon and the puff pastry in the tray just because the sauce was starting to leak out And we don't want that because it will set our oven on fire There's no proper heat just that little bit of one stick heat on there at the moment A little issue with the strings but I've sorted it out It's getting nice and dark now on the fire Outside Get my shallot potatoes on This pork crackling is going to be awesome The color and the salmon Look at the puff pastry surrounding the salmon Are you ready for this Are you ready Wait one second I'm going to make you wait a second Three two one Look at that golden brown Words cannot describe the smell I wish we had smell -o-vision Well done yourself there Tom It's awesome I've got the new potatoes on I'm going to get the wok fired up in a second and get the greens on the go What leaves are in there Cabbage mainly Stir fried cabbage Yeah It's actually really nice It goes with salmon quite well We do like wok fried savoy cabbage with chorizo sausage at work Alright And you can serve the salmon on top of that I do a nice chicken chilli with chorizo I use it in quite a few things now The salmon puff pastry and then the new potatoes are here They'ready too I'm going to get something to eat Cabbage and potatoes Chocolate And for the roast chicken as usual we're going to wrap it in bacon Just to give it that little protective bacon coat And tasty Bacon is very delicious The fire is burning my arm Who'd have thought pork and chicken would taste so nice together I know I've wrapped the pork in tinfoil now Just to finish off the cook to the center So I can turn up the heat on the fire because the sun's going down And it's getting quite cold now Chicken in the oven I've wrapped in foil Tinfoil Great We're all doing well Love it I know It's amazing The chicken is getting wrapped in tinfoil again Just checked on it It's looking good Get it back in there I'm going to bring this table This is just a slab of wood wrapped in tinfoil That's going to be our carbon block for the meat Probably all the meat That'll be a good spot there I'm going to bring the pork over and Adam's going to cut it And then I'm going to check the chicken as well Then I'm going to get all the trimmings and the gravy and all that Put the pork in half now Take the tinfoil off in there The crackling's a bit soft so we're cooking it off so it's a bit harder We've been eating it as you can see from the cuts on it The chicken's almost done The potatoes are on We rolled them nicely That's our chicken and all our bit of grass there Seasoning The bacon's all down by the side I like to put it down the side in the juices and it kind of makes it more edible even though it's really crispy The pork is just pulling It's so nice We've been cooking for hours Beautiful There's our roast dinner Yorkshire puddings bacon all the trimmings chicken legs pork and we even have gravy That's some awesome heat Well guys that's another brilliant day We've had an awesome day We've got some polypores and we're stropping knives and didn't have to put a razor knife on mine It was amazing Awesome cooking again Just spot on day Nice chilling and awesome food Yeah we'll catch you all in the morning Adam's just getting the fire going We're both up Well I'm not up yet I'm still in my sleeping bag It's going Stay going We had some rain through the night again And just so you all know Adam loved his hammock Oh man it's wicked Comfy isn't it I sat up in the night to try and grab the zip from the bottom and the thing started going I felt like a kayak You know when you're on the water and you go Just having our last coffee and the last few things Almost done Adam is sharpening his knife on the polypore Poly the polypore I believe in it We sharpened our knife on it and they're like razors We're just through the second field Everything is going well Adam is just randomly walking through a field carrying a mushroom in one hand and a coffee in the other There's another type of mushroom I have no idea what that one is We're just seeing how high the water got overnight and it's still carrying his mushroom He's just walking along with it in his hand so it doesn't damage it A random man just stops him and they're having a discussion about the mushroom
