- In this video, I am down in Kent to meet up with Andy from Kent Survival for an off-road woodland truck camp. After a fun drive along forest tracks and fire breaks, we arrive at our spot for the night and set up our roof top tents.
An enjoyable evening of Moroccan inspired food, a couple of cheeky ales and a sudden heavy downpour of rain that put an end to our fire and it was time for bed - I opted to sleep downstairs this time - eager to try out my newly finished extending bed in the Land Rover.
Morning brings sunshine, coffee and a sumptuous breakfast fit for kings.
I hope you enjoy the video.
Thanks for watching.

Love video's that you and Andy do together. You two just compliment one another so well. You both bring humor, fun, friendship, good tips, yummy meals and just relaxing video's. Thanks for bringing us with and hope to have more in the future 😊
yessssss!!!!!
Thank you Simon for taking me along with you I’m disabled I love watching your videos thank you my friend Tommy from Northern California
Hello Tommy from California, with love from England.
Thank you Thomas! It was a pleasure to bring you along! More love from England 😁
That's the best thing isn't it, we get to go along :)
@Stepheninthehills I love all these nice comments, Simon is such a nice bloke and I love to watch his videos too. So calming. Anyway, peace to you brother, and another dash of love from England ❤️ oh, you too Simon haha ❤
I was with you as well. Next time, do your dishes, sir, I am not your man, servant. L O L much love from Texas.
There’s nothing better than sitting here at work on a miserable day eating lunch watching a video from Simon thank you Simon
Super clever set up in the landrover, cool to watch.
great pals.lost my walking pal ted on New Years day 71 yrs friends.will miss him.enjoy.
Love you guys together, so bloody cool !
Lovely video. Two friends camping, chatting and cooking. Fun times .
U mates sure r compatible/ it’s a pleasure watching u both advance in the outdoor world. U both r very relatable. 🌞😉
Hi Simon! I "met" you on Andy's channel and thought I would give your channel a try. I enjoy listening to you and Andy chit chat and look forward to more of your videos.
Simon puts more effort into his Camping meals then a lot of people put into their everyday cooking.
Both of you already show that you like the dish by nodding your head in the same way :) .... thanks for the camp 👍
Came over from Kent Survival channel.
Simon...."at least the rain is stopping"
Mother Nature...."hold my beer"
Love your Landrover. It has so much character.
I love watching you guys on a joint camping trip. Now I don't have to watch two videos to see my two favorite blokes. I appreciate the content guys, thank you!!
That fire bowl is the best! I’m in the Colorado mountains where some campers leave fires unattended. 🙄 Besides resulting forest fires, we locals are being punished with sky high insurance rates. Love Love Two Blokes!
Simon & Andy, 2 thumbs up 👍😊👍
My favorite camping guys Simon and andy❤ you guys have a great friendship together and you are both entertaining and good looking a real treat to watch (eye candy) 😍
Missed this last week! I know I am late to the party but I didn't want to not comment. Always enjoy your posts Simon. But when you and Andy go adventuring, it's always so entertaining. Such sumptuous cooking! I don't know if I would tackle those dishes in my modern and well appointed kitchen, much less over a wood fire or camp stove. And I love the bed conversion in the Land Rover. The way everything just fit together and made such a comfy looking bed. It all looked so well done! You are a man of many talents, Simon! Take care and be safe out there. Looking forward to your next adventure! 👍👍☺☺🧡🧡
Great video and camp - thanks, Simon (and Andy). The LR setup is really clever!
All very civilised with the tables, as I said on Andy's video he's even got you using a knife & fork now!
I know! He’s got me all civilised 😂
Great camp Simon. My 3rd great-grandfather left Preston, England in 1856 and came to the U.S. and joined a wagon train that landed his family in Arizona. He could do anything out in the wild. I think he would have enjoyed watching your videos.
I think if you’d shown him the video he would’ve burned you for witchcraft
My third great grandfather was a coachman, in Southern England. He died because the coach got stuck in a gateway & as he tried to free the horses they panicked & reared & killed him.
I love seeing you two camping together.
Great stuff Simon, really enjoy your twin video's which give a different perspective on your adventures. I appreciate the amount of time and effort you and Andy put into your video's which are produced to such a high standard. Cheers mate, looking forward to the next one.
"That's just Moroccan spices."
😊
Oh I'm so glad I found this channel.
I follow you too guys and you’re both great. Together you’re are awesome. Thank you.
great video, as usual, thanks Simon & Andy.
Thank you Simon for your great relaxing videos. Keep uup the good work. Cant wait for another canoe adventure.
As always gents great video
Nice one Simon and Andy, Make sure you shut the Landy door properly....lol
So awesome when you and Andy team up !
Hooray! I’ve been looking forward to this video since I saw Andy had posted his.
Feasting like Kings! 👌🏼
Great to see the other side of Andy's video.
Exactly
Great to see you back in the Land Rover Simon! Always love it when you do these videos, would be great to see you do some more stays in the Land Rover more often 😃 always enjoy your videos though, look forward to the next!
Love to see you sit around,chat,laugh,drink some beers…also the cooking!! 😂🍺🍺
That is the greatest sense of freedom anyone could have. Thanks for sharing.
Cheeky bottle turn on Andy's table, love it. The bed you've just finished looked super-comfortable with a grey-Maggie pillow. Meals looked delicious. Beautifully filmed, Simon. God bless.
Good to see you and Andy camping. Cheers!
Your videos soothe the soul.
I love how everything has its place. So organised. Thankyou for another enjoyable video Simon x
It's great seeing you and Andy back together again in another great video.
Hi lads this trip looks fun. It reminds me of my life on the farm as a kid driving a land rover not sure which one but it was late 60's. Ive always wanted my own.
And Spam haven't had that for years. I also like the subtitles on all youtube videos not just yours , they seem to misinterpret some words.
But it's good to see another good vid of good mates enjoying good food in a great location.
At 24:34 Andy visibly winces as he realises how romantic this is all starting to sound 🤣🤣🤣
Buy some big reusable dessicant bags and place them in a small open top container while packed away which is what I have done to help alleviate the mold and musty smell from my rooftop tent. Another product I use is damp rid but you have to be sure you have room for the little container to not spill as they collect moisture and trap it in the bottom. I also set my tent up and sprayed it with a canvas mold and mildew treatment and let dry really well. The tents are fantastic but do have the drawbacks you stated when not in a dry arid place. Keep the land rover camps coming!
Thank you - a friend of mine has offered me some big bags of desiccant that I’ll try - might even install some vents (weatherproof ones) 👍
Great time with you two again. Thank you for taking us along!
Simon: I think the rain is stopping...
Rain: Welp.
😂😂
Thanks for Simon for sharing great camp video with Andy, cheers Simon for a fantastic wendnesday video
Out of all the content that I watch on a daily basis, your vids always come first. It’s like yes! Simon dropped a new one! I particularly love the intro and outro music that you choose. A mixture of Americana, folk, blues. Good ole guitar/banjo pickin’. Always fun!
You and Andy are great together!
I watched Kent Survival’s video of the same trip. Different story tellers - really an interesting comparison. I’m sure you and Andy watch both versions. I wonder how many viewers have done the same?
Thanks
I love watching you two! Yea you make us feel like we are with you! You’re both humble and hilarious ❤ thank you 🙏
I did not stop grinning thru this whole vid..love the two of you together!❤️🤘🏻
Thank you! 😁
Always a pleasure to enjoy the great outdoors , great video Simon and Andy safe travels God Bless .
Fabulous camp Simon, my favourite collaboration with Andy from Kent Survival too, you two always do a great camp together and plenty of laughs and facts along the way, always awesome viewing. Thank you very much and hope to see more in the future please.
You have a super land rover and the music you play fits the vehicle. Keep up with your camping trips. It seems to be the only way i go camping by watching your videos.
Loved Andy's video, and loved this one too. It's always nice to get two perspectives on the same camp. The Spitfire was a real bonus!
Hi Simon, i really enjoy watching you and kent survival, i'v always been a big fan of camping, unfortunately my partner is disabled so can't get out at all, so watching you guys is the next best thing,cheers mate
always good to see you two together! And as i will soon be looking for my own used Defender, its nice to be reminded about their 'personality'......☺
Good luck! Swarfega will be your friend 😂👍
I would love to see you and that land rover come down under. 🇦🇺 🍺
That passenger door closing at the end 😂😂
What a great video chaps, really enjoyed watching that. Perfect location for it 👍
Famous last words, lol, I think the rain is stopping. You just sped it up. Great videos,
Yeah man, always nice to see you two together in an episode
“I think the rain is stopping” … …so much for airing and drying out the tent. Hopefully you’ve had time and appropriate weather to do so.
Love your videos, Simon. Hoping your ratatouille gets at least one thumb up.
You two make a great pair to enjoy overlanding with!! Thanks for the entertaining experience once again Simon
I really enjoy your videos, especially with you and Andy! You two are rock stars! Thanks for the adventures and sharing your camping skills. God Bless. Tamara U.S.A.
Let's take time to respect how many different camera placements these guys do....I can only imagine how many there are for every video.
Time and effort indeed
Hi Simon, I always enjoy videos with you and Andy. You are as bad as one another haha!
Thank you , Simon .
🐺 Loupis Canis .
You always have such great music in your videos, Simon!
Nice location, comes with a free Spitfire flypast :D
Cant believe a spitfire flew overhead :D
The LandRover bed is awesome, nice work.
Great video! Love it when you & Andy camp & hang out…🍺
Living the dream with the dream-team. The glimmer twins - Eric & Ernie -Beavis & Butthead - The Gruesome Twosome - the Two Lone Swordsmen call them what you will you have got to admire their tenacity. Hugs.
So grateful, recently, there always seems to be a Simon video appearing, right when my poor mental health and over active brain needs it. Thank you Simon!!
Also got to love that when people have all the 'posh' gear, like the wedges to level up their trucks.... Simon just uses logs and it does the job just as well. 😊
Glad you enjoyed it Carole! 😁
“At least the rain is stopping” Simons famous last words!! 😂😂😂
😂😂
Brilliant video as always Simon.
Really enjoy when you and Andy get together, you are both like long lost brothers / old married couple. Nice editing touch with the rain holding off, genuinely laughed out loud!
Here in Tennessee we would be covered in ticks if we camped in cover like that! Y’all are lucky!
I m here in Missouri and just got in from working in the garden, found a tick crawling up my leg… oops I lied here’s another behind my knee….damn the little bastards, they come out of nowhere and hide in seldom checked damp spots…moral of that story is strip and check every crack and crevice possible- if you have a friend or companion - get them to look you over with a fine tooth comb 😂
the good old days where everyone had a spare fanbelt in the boot and neutral to 1st was about a foot and a half🤣🤣
Fantastic wild camping and great food n drink what could be better 😊
Hello, I came across your videos a few weeks ago and I'm really enjoying them. I'm inspired by them, how amazing packing up and going on adventures.
Thank you for the entertainment, the places you visit look so lovely.
I found you through Andy’s channel and couldn’t be more pleased. Loved your scary Wales adventure
LOVE your vids!!!!!
Love u2 ❤
Another entertaining one with you and Andy! Even the rain is manageable when overlanding. Thanks for sharing.
1:17 - Even the ants were getting set up for some stealth camping!! Lol!
Thats still the good old land rovers!
I love you guys so much! Stay awesome! 💯💯💯
I love your duo.. Andy being Andy is always good to see.. and that "Atleast the rain is stopping" and the next shot was hilarious 🤣🤣🤣🤣 Nice one Simon.!(My managers name is also Simon lol)
ye great glamping videos pair othem .cant say no to a freebie.grizzl gaz and blot .they do it old school .
Love the videos with you and Andy. The van set-up is looking superb and those meals! Damned fine.
Fab camper camp that Simon. I really like the new Land Rover setup with the bed. Good choice i reckon sleeping downstairs. Harsh wearher you both had. As always, gorgeous food mate. All the very best.
As an ex-van dweller I consider sleeping in a tent to be slumming it, even if its expensive and on the roof !
Spitfire fly by as well ! Well i suppose you were in Kent !
Top tip for using any stovetop coffeepot is to take it off the boil before it starts bubbling @27:18. You'll end up with noticeably less bitter drink.
Sugar sorts that out.
I just love any videos you post Simon! Your music, views, adventures & personality keep me wanting more!
I haven’t watched the full video yet, as that would be impossible unless I have skipped some, but already I know it is going to be exceptional, in both camera work, and bushcraft skills. So thank you Simon for another amazing video, your hard work never goes unnoticed. I hope you are keeping well, many thanks, Ben
Thanks Ben! 👍
Spam and tea for lunch. Doesn't get more british than that😆
But damn that dinner looked so good I can almost smell it.
Lovely camp guys!
NICE TO SEE BOTH OF YOU ENJOYING THE NATURE,
Spam, spam!😂 But no tah! Great videos , love them. So relaxing with lovely guys that you are. Don't ever stop!❤
