 I'm here with none other than Josie Fonday. It's him. It's me again. It's him again when he's got his homemade wool. Look at the size of that. Look at the width of that. That's like loggerheads, big loggerheads. Right, anyway, join us because we're going to cook up some grub, set up a camp and spend some time at Woods once we've found somewhere to pitch. Either that or we might be calling out international rescue soon. Yeah, we might be medics at the bottom of here because in our mind we want to get to the bottom of this hill and it is steep. Is this a feet? Where is he? Where are you going? Do you need help? Are you all right? What happened? He's stuck. That's thumbnail. What happened? Is this in there? Is it? Can we? Are we making a terrible mistake? What was it all? Right, can I avoid it? Oh, am I going to suffer the same fate? You just went down there, didn't you? Yeah. I've missed this. Just ambling through places we don't know, we're looking for somewhere to bed down for the night. There's like cavernous holes in it because of all the rock formations. Just know this, we're in Woods, a big wood. I'm going to be on a kit. Beautiful. Slack handful of amethyst deceivers which we shall, in fact there's loads of them. We'll have them. The Osprey Aether 70. It's been a while but let me tell you, I absolutely love this bag. It carries the weight better than any bag I've ever used. Joe's in his trusty, got his trusty. The big one. The big caboudre, the logger head. I mean it says 45 but... It's not because the... Yeah. Even that though, you're like that's a lot. It seems a lot. It's cavernous in it. I just love the pouches outside. So yeah, these being 12 and half but again they like, you can fit your whole billy can in there, your tent, your sleeping bag. No nonsense, because there's no pouch in it. Then you've got like this molly system on the front where you can put a load of stuff and on the lid. No, you don't need to. It's so big and it's just not gonna fail you. This DD has been going since day one mate. This is that DD that you originally bought. Oh my god, that I bought. This is a vintage DD, I mean, this is maybe 11 years old, 10 or 11 years old. Vintage stuff guys, we've been doing this. Nice. Right, that looks mint. Check, check, one, two. Tails from the cabin. Should we make it even more cosier? Listen, do candles look like that? There we are. That's all I've got. It's not very good is it? This video is sponsored by beer52. Let's have a quick look.

These magic beans look, look cool don't they? These are biodegradable catapult ammo. They just sort of explode and then rain just takes them out of the game. So we're going to use these and Joe's going to remind us all that he is Hawkeye. It's been so long hasn't it that we've since been fired these bad boys. Let's see if you've still got it. We're just shooting these. I don't even know if we'll knock these over. Do you remember how to hold it? That's it. He's going to prove it now. I would like you to nominate one of them please. Yeah, one of them yeah. Yeah? Yeah, it was any one of them. Which one? All of them. One shot. What? One on left. Near, nearest and not left. Yeah? Yeah, nearest one up left. Absolutely miles off. I think it was close. He's still got it. Was it close? He's still got it. That's good to see. I think it was probably close. It's been so long. I could take out a ferret one of these then. Organic. Organically take it out. Yeah, organic ferret hunting. So I'll go for that. What far left? He did. This is that. He did. There you go. There's Joe holding the selfie close to the target. Putting himself in danger. There you go, Joe. You didn't. You hit the target, mate. There we go. Savage. It's good to know that in the inevitable apocalypse, I'm still going to march, man. I've still got it. Have you still got it? If what it is is not being able to use a catapult, then yes, he has still got it. The woodland floor is just a river. I don't fancy getting away. It's solid ground. It's not peaty. We're still raining this morning from, we've just had storms in the north of England. So everything is saturated and it's going to rain again. So the fire will be all right. But it's all as best just to double check what the ground is you're working with. Make sure it's nice and solid. No roots. And that's, that's, and then save all your stuff to put over it when you're finished. And that is perfect. Sometimes get wood down it's back of them. There it is, look. That's like, oh, bone dry clobber. That's, that's perfect first. At least getting it going. Cut that. You can see that's the perfect wood ear specimen because it looks so much like an ear. Don't it? Cut that. You put them in the frying pan. They absolutely explode, but there's no reason why we can't put that in our stew. So you see, you just slice across in it with your saw. And then it's easier to take out this material with either your axe, which I'll do because it's just quicker, but you can use your axe or your knife. That's a better way of seeing it there. Just that's just a rough, a rough thing and that little bit knife of choice for this trip is the custom SE3 custom handle by Luke over at York, York knife. Using a lighter this time, mate. Use what you've got. It's saturated everywhere here. So use what you've got and prepare for where you are. Organic allotment. Organic allotment, look. So Joe's grown all these himself. Yeah. Yeah. But he's gotten so into it, haven't you? Look at that, mate. That's like aubergine emoji. That's a handsome one. That's beautiful, mate. There's not much goes better with a lamb either, is there? I don't think so. Moroccan, isn't it? Yeah, it's like that. Soaks up the... Yeah. That's why they do a moussaka. Oh, that's mint. We've got some lamb from the local butchers. All the veggies from Joe's allotment and Joe's knocked up a little spice mix, which we'll get into. And we're going to just cook a curry. We've got a leg of lamb, half a leg or whatever, or a bit of a leg of lamb. And we're going to cook this curry for maybe four or five hours, just nice and slow away from the fire. Finish it with some coconut milk. Dr. Pepper. Some people don't like green pepper. I like that bit in it. Yeah, something different. There we've got some amethyst deceiver mushrooms and they're going to go in to the pothole just to bring some nutrients and a little bit of umami flavour. Cooking with colour is important. Yeah, you've got to get your colours. Yeah, you know it's going to taste good. Your purples, your flavonoids, your vitamins, that's good, good stuff. So we know this is going to reduce down. So we'll ram the lamb on top of it. Let that reduce. And then after a couple of hours, we're going to put a few more bits of the veg in so they stay a little bit al dente. That's a bit of bone in there, look. That's a bit of fat on that. A bone in leg. Joe's got his spice mix, she's putting this little jar. Would you like to talk us through it? Oh mate, there's genuinely so many things in it. Is there? Normally you can't remember and you're like it's got salt. It's got smoked paprika, salt, pepper, fresh and ground, sumac, then it's got cumin, coriander, fennel, a little bit of chilli powder, turmeric, a little bit of whole chilli and cinnamon. Right, that sounds amazing. What about seasoned salt and pepper? It's got salt in it. It's got a smell. That's nice. That's got like a sweet sort of almost, you're rocking. Garlic and thyme and oregano. There's no point in asking him. There's no point in asking him. And then hopefully this old, so this is, we'll see, I've had them break before and the back bit just come flying now and things go everywhere, but this is, would you say physics? Physics or not? Yeah, probably is. So that should hold. It's definitely not biogeochemistry is it? Would you say it was RE? The PE? Business, whatever. There you go. We've got our forks sticking the back but also put a rock on there as well and there you go, that's on gas mark, probably gas mark four, three or four and we'll leave that for the rest of the evening for a few hours and then when it comes to it, when we've just got embers or when you want to like really drive it up a bit, you can drop it down and that'll just hover off the embers. Change the gas mark. There you go. We've goofed because we thought, you know, we don't want to drink too much so we'll get one bottle of wine each and make it a nice one. So we've got a bottle of Chateau Nerf du Papa Smurf as Joe hilariously said. So we've got a couple of bottles of a bottle each of Papa Smurf and we're realising now that it's a cork and we don't have a corkscrew. So we're in a bit of a pickle here so I've just been trying to hammer it, I've put it in a shoe because for any of you long time watchers, you'll know that I once opened a bottle of wine with a hiking boot which was one of the highlights of my life. And I've just been trying to do that and it was no joy. Papa Smurf won't play in ball so we're going to try and administer some heat to the neck of the bottle with some sticks out of the fire and then hopefully Joe's just warming it up with his body warmth because we don't want the contrast of warm and cold to break the bottle. Administer some heat just below the cork and hopefully that should push the cork out enough so we can get out of it. Science if not we're just going to have to stare at a couple of bottles of delicious wine while we eat our food. Worse things have happened. That's it man, that's it. Let's go. So we're putting some heat from knees underneath at the cork and I don't know man just hopefully science will sort it out. All right because I'm sure I've seen a video where someone did it with like a blur torch or something. No, a couple of just burnt sticks. There's proper bagged stuff this isn't it? No way that's cool. The light is going to blow up before you get any joy. Camp bellows, jobs are good. Nothing now does it. That's going to be hot though so I touch it. You don't have to push it in that way. We've tried putting it in a shoe. We've tried putting it between legs and hitting it on top with a shoe. We've tried burning it and it gets to a point where you just feel like a bit of a desperate weasel. Give me that bottle we can't get to it. Good bottle of wine as well. Is that too much up light? Too spooky that. Too spooky. We're hungry for these. Great northern lager from a brewery I've never really heard of. Northern punk. Northern punk. Oh they're real good. That is a coffee porter. A coffee porter. And then you get this with each one that you get same with the wine 52. So you've got something to read, something to eat. Something to read, something to eat, something to drink. Oh look if you can see there but that's Russ and Brie. My boys. My boys Russ and Brie, northern monk. I'm going to go for a monk. That's good. Lovely looking camera isn't it? It is. Well yeah many after returns. It's not his birthday but well returning to the woods. It's genuinely lovely mate. You know the session. We're both good out there. Super refreshing. Nanageddon. Nanageddon. We got two in the end. Pork the cork through. So we're having a nice little drink of Papa Smith with how a curry. Look at that. Just look at that. It's unbelievable Jeff. What's with that marrow out there? Get it out. Six hour cooked leg of lamb. It's we chucked in a can of coconut milk near the end for that richness. Look at that. So much meat. Is that one of your own spoons? Yeah. That is unctuous as well isn't it? Thank you. Wow. That is an amazing curry. Is it melty? Actually melty. It might be the tenderest thing you've put. Really? Because it was such a big joint that's so tender isn't it? And it's maintained it's moist as well. The most tender thing you've ever done isn't it? I'm good. There's a little bit of bitterness of the peppers there. Gnocchi, you know what I love. That's nice isn't it? And the coconut. Just warm chilli heat. Just this meat. Just look. Falls to pieces. Delicious. Morning glampers look. This is the... Here we are. Slept like a dream. Just to let you see it set up really. There's me. We didn't. There's Joe. He's put his sleeping bag away. And fire's there. Just one. One tap we had. We rolled Matt. We ate X-Term sleeping bag. Didn't bother with a bivvy bag. And then I had my bug net on me head. Joe's got. I've got an old sleeping bag as a base. Like a waterproof layer. Then I had... I've got my little sit pad. Then I had my air mat. And then I had a... I've wrapped my blanket around me. So that it didn't annihilate my down sleeping bag. Yeah, wool blanket to protect him from fire. But actually it didn't spit at all I don't think. It wasn't spitty last night was it? It wasn't any piner out in there. Ah beautiful stuff. Right. We're going to make a move. We're going to get up. Get this squared away. Deal with the fire and then maybe go find somewhere to dunk us the junk us. You don't even know we've been here. We've got a decent hike out of here. But no trace left. Carry our litter out with us. We only had one bottle of vino last night. Didn't even finish it. Couple of cans. Lovely curry. It was absolutely delicious. And so I feel pretty refreshed. Waking up to this beautiful view. And then I think we're going to go and try and dunk the junk away. He's saying yes. So that's how you end it. That's how you end an adventure. Washing all the fire smoke away and just having a bit of an energy re-boost. But we've got some trekking to do so let's go. That's one way to get the blood flowing. There's a beast of a leg pumper. And it's a different story when you've got bushcraft gear on you. This is not ultralight backpacking. Axes, saws, cast iron, wool. Worth it though. Beautiful day as I said before. We're just coming out of this huge storm and all the rivers are overflowing. There's a load of flooding up north. Trees getting blown over. All sorts and now today. It's stunning. It's not like roadside cleaning and we get it that a lot of roadsides are just covered in litter but if you're walking out at woods and you've got your litter bag anyway you might as well fill it with the stuff that you're going past and help just help big a corner. It's not a lot but if we all do it we can make a difference to the road sides of the UK. There's another one. It's hot coffee lids look. It costed me. Costed fortune. Oh it's serene and sublime isn't it? Oh it's cold yeah. The tingle effect. Mandy tingle. Mandy tingle. That's it. Highlights over the trip. Just nice to sit around a fire again wasn't it? It was lovely to sit around fire again. Oh there it is. There it is. There you go. And that spice mix you knocked up was an absolute treasure. A delight. Curry was lovely wasn't it? Curry was absolutely delicious and it was it was just lovely just to be back out because autumn is truly in the air. Yeah. Back out doing bush crafting there'll be more bush crafting to come as we hang up our hiking boots and head deeper into the woods. Yeah that's good. That's almost good. Yeah. Right thanks for watching. Bye for now. Definitely not going under this time are we? No. So telling me love them. Love them. I love them. He loves them. Yeah. Much love. See you later.
