SOLO Wild Camping On A Tidal, Artillery Sea Fort - Stranded In Peace.
Charity Donation Link:
www.justgiving.com/crowdfundi...
Hello!!!
Another different one this week…
I went Solo Wild Camping on Grain tower Battery which is a tidal Sea fort that used to contain artillery guns to protect the river Medway and River Thames.
I will tell you more History about the place within the video.
I used the Fire Maple Maverick Wood Stove for the first time and I was impressed with how easy it was to put together and it’s ease of use… it was great for cooking and held my heavy cast Iron skillet with ease.
I cooked up some lemon chicken and slurped a few beers.
I was visited by a few people
Throughout the day and managed to stay undetected when I was up on the top by bringing the ladders up with me to stop people being able to get up.
It was great being “stranded” alone where I just shot some cans with my catapult and watched the river traffic going in and out of the Thames.
I had an awesome camp as usual and really enjoyed filming this one. I Really enjoy doing “out of the woods” camps as it gives me a little buzz.
Cheers as always for watching the videos it’s massively appreciated!!

Hi Craig, I grew up on Sheppey and worked in the Port of Sheerness throughout my 20s. Spent many a night shift looking over at that Fort, wondering what it would be like to camp in it. You have made my night!! Check out the secret underground ww2 underground radio bunker at Hollingbourne in Kent. You'd love it. Some mental spiders down there though mate 😂
Haha😂😂 that knuckle dragger in the north face gilet lobbing that Boulder to impress his wenches.. priceless! 🍺

No wonder the pathway is in bits; it's gormless Twatts like him who are vandalising it.
I grew up in grain and have fished off it before, just be careful you don't get caught otherwise the coast guard come get you and take you back to sheerness

Thank you Craig - always a massive treat when a new clip drops…. Love the woodland based content but also the ‘specials’ ..abandoned boats …roundabouts (first clip I watched) …underground bunkers and now a sea fort Good to mix it up …classic content Your down to earth delivery, sense of humour and genuine love for the outdoors once again proves that bushcraft/wild camping is something that’s accessible to all …top blackberry picking tips as well !!! A guaranteed authentic experience every time - Legend! 🌲🔥🤙💯

I have spent two years on a bike with a trailer and my best freind and I stayed at a lot of churches now and again something random. A lot in east anglia. But a memorable night in Abbotsbury In an old Abbey. Really thick walls was amazing with my uke. Shhhhh open all night.
I love estuaries, so your film was a treat, thanks.
I grew up in the Grain area and went to school down the road back in the 70's and 80's. This was our local party location as a youth and I spent many nights tripping and smoking weed to acid house music while being surrounded by water. Had many encounters of the sexual kind up there, so many good memories. Back in the early 90's we had many raves up there, we organised them so the tide came up in the evenings so police could not shut it down. Also yes there was a brick road and the mud used to be lower than the road, girls used to walk up to that place wearing high heels so it was in a better state back then.

Love your video,s. I,m a veteran and suffer from PTSD and I built my own gypsy wagon on a caravan chassis and spend most of my time traveling about in it. ( Mainly to get away from my nasty neighbour). Used to wild camp with my daughter years ago up in Scotland. Keep up the good work.
if you walk the Peddars, you must stay in Castle Acre, great little gem of a place.
You’re such a lovely guy , very genuine . I suffer from PTSD since my army days and I think what you’re doing for the cause is great. I’d love to do this type of thing again and talk about mental health . Great content and good vibes 😊😊

Only found your videos last month but I must say that me and the missus are now big fans, we watch your videos every evening whilst eating our tea! We are keen campers and your camp outs have inspired us to try stealth camping I am now scouring boot fairs picking up lightweight items to use. Keep on camping Craig you're an ace inspiration x

I come from the isle of grain originally, I first camped out there when I was ten. Plenty of fishing trips out there and was even shot in the head with an air rifle when I was 14. In fact in the same part you were camping.
Thanks for making this video, Craig! Always wanted to see Grain Tower Battery close up, having seen it in the distance my whole life
Awesome vid man and the grub looked fab.
About 15 of us stayed on here a year or so ago. Well done staying on your own 😁👍
Great little video! Makes me wish I didn't live across the pond! Keep it up, friend 👍

I know it well, walked out my self a couple of times, great to watch the ferry boats run in and around
Gosh that was scary at night,you are very brave.
I knew the guy who owned it first privately and had it named No 1 The Thames, Simon Cooper. From memory I think he paid around £10K for it. Great video by the way 👏🏻

You let a dog off its leash, but you keep it on the lead, sling shot & catapult are two different things, David mashed up Goliath using a slingshot.
I really enjoyed that. What an excellent video. Looks blissful when the tide finally rolls in. Subscribed!

That was a really enjoyable bit of time out with you there, I like it when the tide comes in a sort of secure feeling about it and now your base, the traffic from the river constant and interesting and a just really good site with a bit of the chill about it , but i can see what you mean about the night-time shadows lol . very good one 5 *****💂
