 Welcome to another video. We've been mooching about not been filming much because what we really want to film is the cooking. We have got some proper treats and we found this beautiful area. We've got this grit stone cliff behind us and then breaks in the canopy. Lovely view, so hopefully we'll get some nice stars. We're going to put a fire in front of us and this is our backrest and then just set up a simple tarp and just chuck our sleeping bags under that. I have a couple of slurps, hang out, cook some fantastic food. Stay tuned. Kelly Knox chair, can't big it is. It comes out and it's on bungee so it all just sort of clicks in and then it has this material which goes on top and then this fabric stretches between the bottom bits and stops it sinking into the ground. Your individual chair legs going into ground. It's pretty cool. Camping this time of year, especially if you've spent the day hiking and hanging out as we have then, it's a lot to do before it gets dark. You've got to get your wood together, find your spot where you're camping, sort out your camp, set your tarps up, your tents, hammocks, whatever you're sleeping in. There's a lot to do, it's a busy old time so let's crack on. What we haven't accounted for is this slurp and because there's another dead leaf litter on it, it's like ice so we're just constantly and there's loads of briars on the floor with your little trip hazards so there's going to be a lot of stacking it on this one. That goes on over there. Dude he keeps going. He keeps going. Look how I do that. A day. Scurry back out on that. It's a bit much in it. This should get all warm. That'll be all nice. Your long tunnel. Your long tunnel scratching over it. It's a little scratching post. A little gnawering post keeps incisors down. Beautiful. That's dead, yeah. Dead is destroyed. Anything that we're taking off trees is dead. So we're just pruning the dead off the trees. We wouldn't take live wood from the trees. You can't even tell that's gone. But that was just a dead limb. Not serving the tree any purpose whatsoever. So that'll go in fire. I'm here in the workshop. We're not in the cabin today. Today's video is kindly sponsored by AG1. I've been using this stuff for a while now. It's a foundational nutrition supplement. You get your little thing in water. Shake it up. You're good to go. It tastes good. It gives me mental clarity. As a tractor goes by. This is a working thing. We're doing a bit. This is how it's got to be. If I stopped every time there was a tractor going or some tools or some... It is getting pretty loud though to be fair. I need focus. I need brain power. I need all these cognitive kickstats. Because otherwise I'm distracted. Like that. So it helps me tune in. Of a morning when I have it I feel clarity. I feel tuned in. And it has 70 high quality ingredients. Support physical and mental health. It's got magnesium and B vitamins. That'll support sustained energy throughout the day. So you're not going to get that crash like you do off coffee that brings you up and down. This is like a sustained energy. It's good for your immune health. Skin, hair and nails. I'll leave all the information downstairs. But check out www.drinkage.org. www.drinkage1.com forward slash Hayes Outdoors. And get started on your order. AG1 is kindly going to give you guys a free one year supply of AG Vitamin D3 plus K2 and five AG1 travel packs with your first purchase. I'll leave all the details below. Go check them out and thanks again to AG1 for sponsoring this week's video. Ooh, delicious. Now back to the woods. If you're watching this on the YouTube video and you're wondering why we've got mics, we're doing a podcast for my Patreon owner and we're doing some Patreon only content. Slow it down a little bit, feel all a bit. So when you first get to a site that I've got a chop wood, we've got to sort everything out. For some reason we've chose to pitch up on a slope which is very slippery. Deadly. It's deadly. And that's it. How are you, Josie from Von D? I'm pretty good mate. He's pretty good. Yeah, pretty good. Good to be back out before Christmas. Oh, it's always nice to be out, isn't it? Particularly, I do like this time of year, yeah, yeah. It's a lovely time of year. A calm before the storm this time of year. Merry Christmas to everyone. I hope you all have a wonderful Christmas. Merry Christmas. And a happy new year. Cheers, buddy. Merry Christmas, cheers to everyone. Merry Christmas, yeah, absolute friends. Every now and then we do get dripped on. By the wall behind us. Yeah, and occasionally it goes down your neck and it's like, oh, are you a booger? So if we were to travel out of space or stick on to space for nothing, I like to talk about it. If we were to... we found a way to travel faster than we do now and we found somewhere that was sort of habitable. Yeah. But it needed a first wave of people to go there to sort of... and they were like the front line basically. They're going to go there. It's going to be absolute... It's going to be tough, but also it'll be beautiful. Some extent we've been there before, haven't we? I mean, that's like colonisation. Yeah, but this is a place that's... this is a new place, right? There's forests. There's mountains. There's animals that we don't know exist. There's things that can get you and all that sort of stuff. And we've got to go there and have it. So we're taking up a spaceship. I've got two questions. One, would you be on that spaceship? No. Right. That's that. What about the curiosity? No. Right. If I was 18, then that's a different question. AI have a family. They can go with you. They can go with it. It's a bold thing. Imagine knowing that you're not going to die on this planet. So are you telling me that I'm not going to die in transit or there? You're going to get there. You're going to get there, but you are literally the frontier. Like, there is no nothing. There's no mills to build your woods. There's no Travis Perkins to get you stuff. I would be tempted. How would you keep everyone alive? I don't think I would do it. Are you saying you potentially would? What's your second question? Add some context. It does. Instead of you, would you send Dean Gaffney? No. Instead of that, let's put together our first spaceship of people who were going. Eight people that were taking with us. We'll pretend we're going and then last minute we'll just be like, I've just got to answer a phone call and then the ship will set off. Good luck, lad. I wish I got a sorry. Running back doing your zip up and that. We're trying to do this properly so that in a couple of generations time they'll be thriving and we'll be alright. I'll get you. Eight people. Not cartoon characters. Not cartoon characters, man. Cos they don't exist. How are they getting that playing? Yeah, not cartoons then. That's the only stipulation. Right. It takes 18 years to get there and you send four-year-olds. And I think a military-based background is essential. Yeah. I mean, you would probably get caught pretty early. I know that I am at the toilet when you set off a member so I can't quite make it. But you've well done for volunteering yourself. That's nice. Mae, I'm just strapped it on the carriage. As it blasts off. You all just bait for whatever animals are living on there. You know when they have a sacrificial bit of metal on the boat? Yeah, no. When they land the ship and then they're like, deploy the cage. And then we're just like, on a big crane arm it drops a cage with you, naked, just in the middle. And they just sit at window watching in case there's any mad animals that come and do you. A little bit more. So we're just shooting in. They're off in a rocket and you deal with it. Done. I've seen how he copes with a bag of random ingredients, mate. Exactly. And he's like, I don't want to go on like now, mate. Look, you're the best one we've got because we've done a research and you are the best at dealing with random ingredients. And there's nothing more random than up there. Now get in that spaceship and ready, steady F off. Stick a load of gopro's to Ainsley, get him in rocket, ready, steady C later. As soon as it sets off just that's it. Just get on and get back on with our business. Is he going to... I don't even know if he's a planet if I'm honest. I'm just an experiment. He's on to it with you. It's a very long shot. It's a long shot and if I'm honest I don't think we'll ever air for Ainsley again. He's got no coms. But we have given him a pluggy bag with a red pepper on it. He's got his power bag. He'll be alright. There's been a lot more of this and if you want to hear the rest of this podcast you can head over to patreon.com forward slash here's outdoors. We better get fire going. I don't have a fire steel but I like to dot lighters about my bag just in case for times like this. Hopefully it shouldn't be too difficult. We've got these from the world food supermarket in Sheffield and they're all very in colours dark purple almost pink and a normal spud colour. So we're going to chuck them on the edge of the fire. Chop garlic. We've got some dried seps and some black trumpet mushrooms just rehydrating these in some hot water for about 10-15 minutes chunk of bone that we're going to roast near the fire until the marrow starts to seep out. Collect that, use it to cook our steaks in. Garlic and some herbs on there as well. Now in with some white wine that'll make the base of our sauce. The liquid from our mushrooms you can see it there, it's pretty much black. We're going to heat it with a little bit of that not too much, it's strong. In with our wild mushrooms and in there we've got seps and black trumpets and we finish with a nice dash of single cream. So these are our three-tatties that have just been next to the fire for maybe an hour and a half to two hours and look at that. Barney the dinosaurs testicles. So instead of putting butter on our mashed potato we've got a trio of different potatoes with bone marrow infused into it. This is a Christmas special though isn't it? Yes it is. That's why we've got the same effort as someone doing Christmas dinner. But we're in on a slippy hill in the dark. Freshly foraged English truffles a liberal dusting of fresh truffle and we don't want to spare the horses cover it somebody's got to eat them. Great thing, have a try. Oh my word. That sauce is next level as decadent as it is. We're going to have to turn it off because we need our head torch to see what we're doing. I want to see this. I'm going to take a hamroff but while we eat it's just stunning. That's all that can be said. We can't show you any close-ups or anything but it's stunning. So basically we've dropped down to this part and under here we've just got our horse there's Joe's over there and we've got a tarp on the floor a DD brown tarp the new DD pro pro far so good and then we've just chucked that over because we can't find any this is the only flat spot and there's not really many places to pitch it out so it's not forecast to rain so we're going to put that over us then if it rains, over head and we'll be reaped. I hope that happens. See you tomorrow. A little bit yesterday I managed to acquire some English winter truffles so that is the fruiting body of the mycelium network it's hard it's like bark but the smell is phenomenal and then if you see here that's a cross section of it kind of looking like a brain and so what I've done is I wanted to keep these for a week so I could bring them up to see Joe airtight container I've put rice in the bottom and I've put eggs in so that now these eggs are impregnated with the scent of truffle so I could just use these eggs alone without any truffle and you would have truffled eggs but we're going to go all in there's no point in leaving anything out here down here that's jutt as you can see we've used the best eggs and for my money that's squirrel eggs lovely bit of bread from world food store and it's a lot of truffle it's very decadent but I told you Lee if you're watching I don't know if Lee does watch but if you are watching Lee there you are we don't look about that is the ultimate truffled eggs and grated truffle egg butter there you go sir top tip as well these plates corn plates little baking trays were just over a pound each they're perfect you've got a little lip on them and that'll slide down your pack better than a titanium plate but that is tasty this flatten bit here is where we slept last night occasionally got the odd droplet on the face waking us up at night inside my sleeping bag was dry and I was very warm slept really well if you were going to be doing that on multi-day heights you wouldn't be able to do it really because you're just dealing with such a wet sleeping bag we would if we were staying out multiple nights we'd raise the top up so you've got more airflow there's our fire gone leave no traces always new pack who dis Joe's got a new pack everybody look at it well I say a new pack but brand new mate made in England steel frame got buckles on it what is it tricking in it's an old mountaineering one something like that it's made in voyage on this on this trip get odd straps on it it's got straps below you can attach stuff to all the bells and whistles you need really and um how much did it cost you Joe cost me nothing and why is that because I found it in a skip yay yes man skip rat proud of him and perfect so a bit of dubbing over it melted in should look well won't she well she already had a bit on but yeah she just did look you know she looks like she was found in a skip but all leather and everything all leather and canvas we'll have to report back when Joe's cleaned his bag up and we can have a look at it because you can't fault it for free I know Lee Clarre look at me there's the zombie shoot they just like they just slide down he's very windy up here we came up here last night well up to the tops and it was far too windy to camp because the cold air would have just done us but today it's a different story it's the wind is just refreshing the sun's out he's going to hike out of here he's all blown out on there right he doesn't matter anyway in there it's a bit shadowy in that light's not great but thanks for watching and thanks for watching all year we hope you have a Merry Christmas Merry Christmas that's another year in camp another year gone wiser older better looking better cooks yes right take care of yourself have a wonderful Christmas happy new year we'll see you on the flip side
