With a simple foot rest and some padding/insulation that looks very comfortable and versatile year round. In a wool blanket next to a fire it would be very comfortable.

Awesome chair .. yer could sleep around the fire on that ... cheers Chris & Sam

Hi Dave, I hope you have been keeping well mate. Another damp weekend, I was going to ask if you were out on the Bike? Yeah it is a nice wood where I go to. The only trouble is they are cutting parts down now. I wanted to see where my old camp was, but there isn't a single tree left. I was gutted. They even took their old bricks back that I used for the fire pit. I hope they steer clear of this area lol. I hope you have a great weekend Dave whatever you have planned :) Take care mate, all the best, Mark :)

So it has been a nice location for videos. I have been offered the use of a wood by the guy I have been doing the voluntary work for. He bought it for woodland burials and cremations but hasn't had the time to do anything with it. When I was there the other day he said he will take me to see it. So if it is OK, I may use there as well. Another option wouldn't be a bad idea. I would hate to turn up to where I go and find it to be a muddy field lol.

Nice demo Mark. One thing I like with your channel Mark, is that you’ve never use foul language, there’s no lewdity or innuendo, just bushcraft and camping related topics. It’s so disappointing when you’re enjoying a video on a Bushcraft channel, and the language lewdity and innuendo, even drunkenness, makes the cut. It ruins it for me. I like the way you present as well. Great stuff mark. Good to see you doing well.

Next time will use thicker poles if I can get hold of any. Just for a bit more strength and longevity. I didn't manage to get as far as my old camp. They had the area closed off, but I could still hear the odd chainsaw buzzing away in the distance. When I next see it, it will more than likely look a muddy field than the beautiful wood that stood there. Thanks again brother, have a great week, all the best, Mark :)

Good morning Wol, many thanks for watching mate :) It is always a pleasure to hear from you :) I know what you mean about people leaving synthetic cordage around in the woods. I am forever cutting loops of poly rope and paracord from the trees in a wood behind me. The kids use it to make shelters and rope swings etc, but leave it once the shelter has collapsed and they move on. I thought about using dowels again, but to save time I just notched the wood and lashed it. I always prefer to use natural cordage for anything that will be staying out in the woods. Apart from it eventually breaking down, I like how jute grips and easily knots. Thanks again Wol… have a great week, all the best, Mark :)
