Jimny Camper. UK Woodland, Kuksa Carving, Campfire Food

The high winds in the UK have stopped in time for a quick overnight camp before the national lockdown. There was no rain forecast so I left the tent fly at home. The plan was to keep things relatively simple so I can relax most of the day. You're only seeing the parts of the day where I was doing something. Much of the day was spent reading my book and in the evening making the Kuksa blank.

It was 4℃ with a very light breeze and I'm camped in my favourite local woodland called Brockwell Woods. I hope you enjoy it and that you're safe and well wherever you are.

Q: Why are you not talking?
A: I've nothing to say that's worth saying.

Q: Why don't you use a lighter to start the fire?
A: A popular comment this. For some reason it seems bother some people that I don't use a lighter. I light fires the harder way because I enjoy it. Part of the fun of camping for me is practicing different methods of lighting a fire. I'm not a bushcraft expert or profess to be one. I always take lighters with me. I don't use them. It's no big deal, I'm not in a survival situation, I'm out camping to enjoy myself.

Q: Why do you add Japanese subtitles?
A: The Jimny is a Japanese car and I am an admirer of Japanese culture. I get a lot of viewers from Japan and am inspired and influenced by Japanese camping and bushcraft youtubers.

Statement: That's not how you carve a Kuksa!
Response: I'm not a skilled wood carver, it's my second ever attempt at making a kuksa. It's a great camping pastime to help relax. I'm still learning.

Statement: Dude, show more off roading in the Jimny.
Response: The Jimny is a mainly tool for me to get to camp and enabling a simple, lightweight and minimal set up that offers good comfort. I don't do a great deal of off-roading.

Much like design, music is a personal preference. If you don't like it, that's fine with me but don't waste your time complaining about it.
