    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.

    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! 👍👍☺☺🧡🧡

    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!

    • @simonablokeinthewoods

    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.

    Hi Simon,
    another great vid. As for the roof tent smelling and musty, if you can smell it, the mould spores are in the air inside, and could be a health hazard. If you find mould inside, leave it all open to air, and remove the mould. But i`m sure you already know that?.
