 Eye contact look just strolling on through. See you later. I'll switch camera on though, even though I've got no time. It just gives the impression that I'm walking this way, even though, let's be honest, I'm not more asshole than it's worth. Because you've got to come back for it. You've got to come back and get it, and it's all good. Makes a nice video, but when you're in a rush, I don't know why I'm doing it. It's just daft. Yeah, there's our destination. Not far, not far. We'll be there in about 8 minutes. It's 20 past 3, so sunset about 10 past 4. 50 minutes to get somewhere. As I've not said, I don't have a tent with me or a tarp. And I'm just, I just want to test out some winter gear. And so, I don't really want to be, I want to be out in elements, so I've just brought my bivvy bag. I've got much time, but I've got nothing to set up. I just blow my headbed up and we're done. I'm not going to have a fire. It's going to be cloudy, so there's going to be no stars for me to urgle. I'm just going to get zen, mate. Bottle of rouge, me unthought to be nice. Regarde. Onward. Aye, mate. Can you tell me what aisle you keep? I'm looking for some... Yeah, I'm looking for your curly whirlies, mate. Can you tell me what aisle your curly whirlies are on? Alright, cheers. Does it smell like human kek or sheep kek? No. It smells alright. Looks like we've got ourselves a humble abode. A little bit of wood from some youth. Is it dry? It's soaking wet. Condensation, hopefully. Oh, yeah. Feel it all on there. Look, it's soaking, man. Got here just in time. Just in timber time. Right, checked out my little cave. There's cow... cowpats. So them highland cows come along here. Have to just be mindful of it in the night. But it's a little claustrophobic in my little den for now. Especially when it's still light out here, so I'm just going to chill out here. You know it is. People might think I only bang on about Northern Monk because I'm on the cans and stuff, but my real dons know. They know that I've been on this since day one and it's nothing's going to stop. And shout out to anyone from Northern Monk who's watching and thanks to Northern Monk for hooking me up recently with a nice little care package. It's much appreciated and this was in there. Keep the faith, mate. Keep the faith. In fact, I'm going to get a photo of that for them. Yes, mate. Let's go. Let's go to Yulot, absent friends. I've not had a slur for a while and they're staring down barrel of lockdown point two. So all are not as mental as the first one I do. I'm aware of people reaching out and saying how hard it is. So this one's for you anyway. Cheers. And cheers to the people that I don't speak to anymore. The old people, old friends. Old friends that maybe watch my videos but I, for whatever reason, we've lost contact down the line. We don't speak to each other or time as paths have gone different ways. This is to you and I hope you're okay. My word. Northern Monk, I think they've started selling that in Tesco's now. So if you fancy a little bit of wash, they can get it down here. Yeah, look at this. Look at this. Come here. Where are you? Mate, this is, I'm not even, I'm going to show you with this. So for anyone who's new here, I recently broke a knife that was very dear to me. And somebody reached out and said, I've watched your videos and I'd like to make you a new knife. I said no and he twisted my arm. And I looked at his work on Instagram and I knew that he was legitimate. And very, very kind. Very kind man indeed. I've got this all written down because I didn't want to mess, I didn't want to mess it up as I do. Mark Lindley. Mark Lindley, right. This is, this came at such a good time as well mate. It's chained me up no end. This is a custom seeker, right. Look at this leather. See that cut down there. That's where I opened, I was eager to open it. I used the knife to open the sheaf and spliced it a bit down there. But that's an early battle scar. You're just going to read this for knife boffins out there mate. It's 67 layered, tack-foo stainless steel with VG10 core. Sorry if you're not a knife person. Stabilized Elm burl with blue pearlescent glow in the dark resin and white G10 liners. The pins, campfire and woman's leg and knickers. Handmade leather, this is the sheaf. It's handmade leather, turquoise stitching with dangler. And I tell you something, I tell you something, I tell you something. I'm going to put a link to my boys Instagram downstairs. And if you're into your knives and craftsmanship and stuff, give him a follow. Luke, York knife. I'm not cheating on you mate. We've got an open relationship. I'm allowed to see other knife makers. You're still my main squeeze. Don't you worry about that lad? Don't you worry about that. This is just my bit on the side. Anyway, getting carried away there. Look at this. I'm over the, I'm just, it's just a little dangler. You're going to see this is more in up and coming videos. But I just wanted to show you while it was, while it was still clean. Look at this, look at this mate. Can you see the layers? A little choil in there. The pin. Look at the, right. And it's glow. This bit. Let's get my mug out the road. This bit glows in the dark from the night. If you, you know, when you're on the fire and stuff or need to locate it and the pins. This one is a, if you see there, that's a fire with the logs underneath it. And this one is, um, it's actually a lit, uh, someone pulling down the knickers. Don't know if you can see that properly because of focusing issues. There you go. Someone pulling down the knickers there. That's, I don't know why he's done that, but I love it. I asked for it. That's why. Anyway, it's got a 90 degree on there. I've thrown some sparks on it off it. I mean, it's sharp. It is. It's pat sharp. Patrick sharp. See all the hairs on there. I don't have any paper to, uh, slice with, but anyway, you're going to see more of it. I just wanted to, uh, man, I just wanted to showcase it. It's so stunning. You can see the mirror. Look at that. Beautiful. So it says it's not to be used for batting. So I won't be, uh, beating living daylights out of it, but it's very light compared to me or the, my other knives. He's probably even lighter than the SC three. Um, but I won't, I can't comment. I can comment on the sharpness and the, the, uh, craftsmanship. There's his little, um, his little sign in there as well. See? Yeah. I can comment on the craftsmanship and it is, it's done a wonderful job. Symmetrical on, it's just really nice. It feels different to me with the knives. It's not as drunk. It's very, it feels very nice in my hands. So yeah, but I won't pass proper judgment yet cause I've not filled it. I've not prepped anything. We're not prepped any food or whittled anything with it or anything. So I won't give it my full, a full review, but so far it is beautiful. It's a thing of beauty. Oh, I've, I've actually got some paper. That's what I was reading. It's only fitting in it, I guess. Yeah. So yeah, cheers, Mark. I know I've said it loads anyway in text, but I just thank you very much mate. It means a lot blown away by it. Thank you. Thank you. Watch. Regarde. Excellent. Excellent. That's it. It just dangles. That's what always put me off it whacking you in dick like that. But it's actually quite good. It's double-hand off. And then it doesn't, it doesn't jab you as much. I know the, the belt carry can stick into you a little bit and you're, you're you're, you're manoeuvring around and that's nice. I can get used to that. I can get used to that indeed. Quick, easy in and out. It looks the business as well, doesn't it? If you squint your eyes and concentrate, I might even look, I look like a bushcrafter. I've had to cancel all my trips. I was supposed to be going over to see Mike from MCQ Bushcraft. I was supposed to be going up to Scotland to, to do a bit of filming up there. To test out a tent, a TP tent for Nordic Outdoors, my boys. I was supposed to be going out with Matt Morgan. I was supposed to be going out with Matt Morgan now. I mean, Mattie Morgz, but lo and behold, things are a little bit uncertain at the moment. So I just wanted to get out and get me some night under the stars and test out some winter gear. I've got some new winter gear. I wanted to get out up into the mountains, but that ain't happening. So I'll sleep out here either in my little cave down there or just out here in Bivvy Bag. See how, see how it all fares. Look at this. Oh, it smells like newness. Amanda Nunez. I mean, it looks a bit like some mad, some sort of like bootleg superhero outfit. Shall I put it on? Watch this. And this is only an undergarms, but let's have a look. There you go. Bootleg, bootleg superhero face. Look at that. Looks like I'm in my pyjamas, mate. You having that? Look at this. Feels wonderful on the skin, look. It's a Aklima Merino wool. I just wanted the best base layer that I could get for this winter because I want to go, I want to do a lot of winter camping. I don't want to be cold. And so I reached out, reached out to my friends at Nordic Outdoors. And I said, can you, so I'm looking for a base layer because I wouldn't want to go anywhere else because they do. You know, it's a small independent business. Where are you? Yeah, it's a small independent business that I want to support me. I've been, I've bought loads of stuff from them, you know, without any freebies or discount codes. I got my, I got my tent from there. I've had all sorts of bits and pieces when I've been to the shop in the Lake District. And they're just lovely to deal with. And anyone who's, I'm sure anyone who's bought stuff off them online or been into the shop somewhere, they're lovely. They are so warm. And I'm using them for work as well for winter. He said that he would pass on a discount code for anyone who watches my channel or follows me on Instagram, which was very kind. Feels amazing on your skin as well, not itchy at all. Yeah, if you want to get yourself a 10% off, there's a code. I'll leave it on here. Look, it's hazy10. Just, I'll leave a link below to them, to the, to the, to the marina wool section for Nordic outdoors, but check out their axes and the tents and everything as well and support local. And especially through these trying times, it's important to, to give our money to, not to the big corporations and just help out the little man. So, yeah, hazy10 for 10% off all Aklima at marina wool gear. There won't be a fire to chat around. So I'll do what I can and then just, I'm just going to log off and have a slur and just relax. But while it is, okay, this is just a show and tell, isn't it? Showing you everything. I mean, these, I'm just honored to have these because I've been looking for a new pair of gloves. These are from my digits in winter for anyone who knows me. So I wanted to invest in some good gloves for them that I can, and that can go to the mountains in the snow and also in the woods around the fire and things that I can hold hot metal with and these. The Rolls Royce of gloves. And I'm not going to talk about them now because I've not, I've not basted them or used them enough to, to be able to talk about them, but they are. There's a few times that I've worn them. They're amazing. And anyone who knows, knows how good these gloves are, but we'll get to them. We'll get to them in future. I might even do a separate video about them because that's how it is. A separate, a standalone video on a pair of gloves. Who does he think he is? The audacity of it. Look at it though. Love it, the changing of the seasons. You see, autumn's starting to die down now a little bit and give way to winter, which I love, man. All seasons for me, all seasons. I've got a new sleeping bag, but again, I don't, I can't go on about it too much because I've not tested it, so. I don't have a, I can't really talk about it. What I should do is talk about my old sleeping bag because I can talk about that one. The old pipe dream. Woo. We've had some adventures. That's probably a separate video as well. Anyway, I'm waffling on because I've got no mates. I've only got you lot here with me. So it's a waffle house. I'm just sailing through this. A wonderful drop. As you can hear, it's peaceful, mate. Peaceful. It was supposed to be clouded over, but you can't see niche, mate. I'm just hanging out in the fortress. And I've called it a fortress, which I'm calling it a fortress this evening. It's a bit echoing here, but can you see the condensation is real. The roof is just sodden and dripping. The ceiling is covered in water, though it's dripping. If it gets too wet, I'm just going to do a little roll out here. And sleep outside the cave where there's a bit more airflow. Unless some groovy or spooky happens, I shall see the on the morrow. I was getting absolutely pissed on. The top of that rock was just dripping. Everything got soaking. Oh my, my camera is sleeping bag. Just things, everything around me and my bottle of wine was just drenched. So I've snuck out and I'm here. I'm keeping in the folly. While I ogle the stars, I'll let you have a look at a coffee table I knocked up using some leftover decking boards from a recent landscaping job. I finished it with shizuki ban, the Japanese art of preserving wood using fire. I'm not a carpenter. I just, I've got a drill and a saw. And that's all I use, a bit of wood glue, a sander and finished it with some linseed oil. Morning glampers and a beautiful morning it is. Too hot in a new bag, especially with merino wool gear on. Sweltering mate. Went to bedding cave and it was just too, it was too wet. There was no breathing there, so there was just so much condensation dribbling on me. No bands. So I came out here where it's the wind, it's a bit windy but that just means no condensation. They kept being breaks in the clouds so I could see the stars, which was nice. I get to wake up to, get to wake up to that. Stunner, stone called Steve's Stunner. So I was just in. I knew Rab assent 900 with the Hunker XL BB on top of the Thermarest X-Therm. All my winter gear came through for me, too, too powerful it was. Too powerful. Oh, look at that. Right, let's get up. The beauty of bivvy bag camping. So easy to pack away. I don't have a wet tent, no condensation in it, just quick and easy to pack away. Fancy having a brew, let's have a quick brew. Sure I've got an emergency Yorkshire tea bag somewhere in Mi Bag. Come down here. But leave nothing, no trace that I've been here. I'm going to go and try and find some way. I know it's nippy but I've not dumped me junk for a while. I just feel like it'll be a fitting end to this trip if I was to go and dump me junk. And for anyone who's watching who supports on Patreon, you'll know about my mate's memorial bench. Well, the bench is now up. So I'm going to go and go and see it and we're going to go and have a cup of coffee on the bench and have a look out to see. It's early in the day so we've got nothing to do till midday so we've got half a day. Let's do this, come on. There's a lot of cows here and they're staring at me like look. I don't have a zoom but look at them. They're on path. All right lads. Highland. Look at them, beautiful. They're beautiful cows but are we going to have a problem? There's one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight of them. I fancy my chances. Come on. Look lads. I don't want any grief. I'm not... I'm not here for any... I don't want to get stabbed by them things growing out of your head. There's more of you than there is me. To be fair, even if you really wanted to, you could do me. You could do me if you want. Can I get past, mate? Look at this. This is standoff. Right, I'm just going to come past, mate. Right, go. Go on. Go up. Get up. Not having it look. Full on. Standoff. Right, I'm going to go around. I don't want any beef. I don't really mean... I mean like that but... Right. Look. This is how we deal with them. You just go around them and hope the dirt gets skittish. There. All right. Look, youngins. You just stay there, you... youth. I showed them who's boss. The cow whisperer. There you go. Teamed them. They don't care. They just don't care. See you later, mate. You ought to do it. See you later. You were lucky. You know you were lucky, don't you? He knows. If I ever put this camera away, mate. Stick my gloves on my digits. And just get some power hiking done. Parked up here. It makes memorial bench so... Let's have a little sit on it. Comfortable. Very comfortable. Not for a view. The people that support on Patreon, we... I put a load of... I put like a care package together and did a little competition and the winner got the care package, got a good deal and we raised some money to go towards this bench. My mate's memorial bench, which... is good. Full circle, sir. For those of you that are watching that support on Patreon, thank you. Now, forget your name. We actually won the bag full of stuff, but... there you go, mate. That was it. That's what it was all for, sir. Thank you. Much love. Look out for a view, mate. Good shit. Good shit. Let's go dunk us the junk us. Take it easy. Absent friends resting peace, Matthew. Let's go. I found this bit. It's running very quick, so I'm not going to swim out into the middle, because that... I don't know it enough to get out into the middle of it, but I'm probably going to have to get it up here and just drift down the side a little bit or just try and dunk me sitting there. Quick dunk in and out. Let's go. Just do it, mate. Just do it. Just do it. I've drifted away. Cobweb's gone. Cobweb's blown out. I'll take it. Another one in W column. Bad boys. These are... These are... This is Awake It. Suitably refreshed. Just want to say thanks to everyone. I hope everyone's doing well. And I think I said it yesterday, but anyone... you know, anyone that I know who knows me, who I don't keep in touch with, but they still watch the videos, this is for you. I hope you're all well. I hope you're all well. Take care of yourselves. Much love. Much love. I'll be back soon. I'll be back soon. I've got a few things planned. Lockdown 2.0 has thwarted a lot of me, yeah, my big plans, but I've got a few little side plans ready to go. So, yeah, again, thanks to everyone who comments and thanks to everyone who hits the like button, wherever that is, downstairs, hit the like button. It's only doing that, innit? You only have to do that, and it's like a nice little... I can see that people like it, and it helps. So, there you go. What else, mate? What else? I don't want to go! Don't leave me! What else can I say? Just thanks. Thanks to everyone. I'm eternally grateful. Thanks for my knife. Thanks to Nordic Outdoors. Check out Nordic Outdoors, mate. Gets the sense some gear. Gets the sense some... I ain't got it on. Gets the sense some... Merino wool layers. Treat yourself a Crimble. Get it done. Discount code, Hazy 10 for 10% off, all the... actually, my...

I've put all the kit I use, or the majority of the kit that I use, me pants, me clothing, cookware, camping, bushcraft, everything, in my Amazon shop downstairs. So, if you want to look at anything that I get and know what make or model it is, or where to get it, it's all down there. You can buy it through my Amazon shop. It's at no extra charge to you, and I get a little kick back. So it's a win-win situation, and it's all there for you to see. And as I get new kit, and test new kit out, I'll keep updating my shop, so please head on over and have a little look. Get yourself a Christmas present. Right, much love to you all. Take care of yourselves, and I'll see you soon. Ciao for now.
