Andy, I really enjoy you videos. I am 58, live in Florida. I have non hodgkins lymphoma cancer and I can't camp anymore. So I am living in vicariously through you. Thank you for the relaxing videos. It calms me. Uncle Dave.
I have only recently discovered you mate and I am hooked! You've no idea mate, myself and my wife are newly seperated and with 2 young kids involved you can imagine how lost I've been at night. Your videos have helped me so much mate, without sounding like a goon lol I feel like it's a couple of mates overnighting in the woods. Chills me right out. Thanks big guy!
I don't think people realise the effort put in to actually film these and get the shots like walking up the hill and driving in to the area etc etc. It's so seemless and natural that people just take it for granted. But Andy films all these on his own. When you see him walking down the hill for example he's already walked it once. Set up the camera, just so he can film himself walking back up it just so he can show us on the video. Same with the morning shots of him rising and stepping out of his tent for the first time. But secret's out. He's already been out and set up the camera so he can film and show us him theoretically stepping out first thing in the morning. It's all done to add depth and aid the viewing experience for us the viewer. Nothing but respect for the dude. Cheers Andy. Absolutely love this channel👏👏👏
@@SuV33358 It's already a job for some, they make a living from their UA-cam channel, they are monetized and have income from partnerships or product placements, for the most part, making a video is like hiring at work.
I've been watching Andy's videos for at least 6yrs now. I have a bunch of his merch including my very much loved and favorite hoodie. I agree. My favorite videos are when he's building. I never get tired of him chopping wood and always get excited when he uses Simon's saw. 💯🤙🤘
Yeah I used to work in a big estate and this looks like the ice house there. They were usually built underground. The circular shape was to hold the cold in, corners lead to a larger surface area. usually domed at the top and covered in soil to help insulate and tapered towards the bottom to help with any melt water run off. They had extra thick walls also helping with insulation. This allowed ice to be stored for use in the warmer months. There would have been a couple of doors in that entranceway to also help insulate.
Can we just stop and appreciate two items here. 1. Andy continues to put out such quality content time and time again. Well done! Thanks for the entertainment from the states. We arent all as bad as the world thinks . 2. Generations before us were far more advanced than some often give credit to. Something which is seemingly so simple to build, such as a bridge, has held up for centuries, and they knew that the arch design was much stronger than other formations.
The arch is an excellent example of materials engineering. Stone is very strong under compressive load, but terrible under tensile load. An arch is a way to convert tensile stress (a straight lintel stone) into compressive stress (an arch). The harder you pull down on an arch, the more compressive load you put into the stone. Oddly, some ancient civilizations never thought of arches. The Egyptians spring to mind. I don't think i have seen a single arch anywhere in ancient Egyptian architecture. I am sure if i am incorrect, someone will comment! ^-^
True. I live close to an aprox 2000 yo roman stone bridge (and aquaducts) where the legions would pass on the way up through Europe. Despite negligence and time etc all still stands. On the other hand, our main road through the city has been redone twice in the last 15 years, despite modern architects, materials, computers etc 😊
A lot of history is lost because we never saw the value of preserving or documenting it A new block of houses is being built where I live and they have discovered it's on the site of an ancient village and the builders won't even have the decency of digging it up and documenting it
This is absolutely a beautiful spot. Maybe you will hear horse hooves and a carriage tonight.. These locations are a piece of history that you are able to bring back to life. Thank you Andy!
Andy, I loved the campsite under a historical 1,000 year old bridge..Can you imagine how many people, animals and carriages have crossed over and under it..Maybe people camping centuries ago, somewhat like you! Stirs the imagination! Thank you so much for all your amazing video's! Love watching you cook too..😁
Reading though the comments I don't think it can be overstated how much you help those who are travelling on difficult roads and with their mental health. Thank you. I look forward to all of your videos and enjoy revisiting your older content. Don't even get me started with the cooking. I am 75 and am a bit over cooking but you make it look so simple that I am drawn to make some of your dishes. Anyway best wishes from the East coast of Australia and the sub tropics. I think we will miss Spring in our part of the world and head for Summer. You videos snow camping will be all I need to feel cool.
Owls and Deer?????? NOOOOOOO - A Roman messenger GHOST flying down the ancient roadway on his fiery steed headed through the archway. Smashes into Andy hanging in his hammock in the middle of the night ---- another camping legend spooky campfire story is born!!
This was one of your best mate, the food was fab ! The lanterns against the walls made the space come alive from its past … You live the dream mate and give me and the mrs the motivation to get out there. We really appreciate the effort you put into everything, thank you 👍
Gotta say you got me through one of the toughest times in my life. Your videos were the only things to make me take a minute and stop feeling so anxious about everything else. Love your vibe, it’s so peaceful and kind. Wish you all the best camping trips and happiness in the world . Thank you. ❤
Wish I could like this more. Hang in there. You’ll get through this. It sucks, but life will get better. There is sun still shining above the clouds and your family loves you. I am rooting for you. Keep trodding through.
It's an Icehouse Andy. All estates had them the lake would freeze in winter and the ice would be harvested and with the Icehouse being below ground level it kept the ice frozen and was used for drinks and cooking.😄
That's exactly what it is. I used to play in one as a kid. It was in the grounds of a local stately home. It featured a hole in the side of the dome which led to a chute so that ice could be taken off the adjacent lake and dropped straight into the ice chamber. To add to its magic the access tunnel had been blocked off, you had to climb in through a hole in the ground between tree roots, very Hobbity.
I was watching one of your old videos from about 4 years ago last night, and when you showed us the bbq sauce you were using I said to myself aloud ‘and now you’re selling your own sauces, I’m proud of you man’ and I am dude I’m so glad I found your channel and you in the process
This made such a pretty setting. After you showed us the road,I couldn't get Alfred Noyes out of my head: "And still of a winter’s night, they say, when the wind is in the trees, When the moon is a ghostly galleon tossed upon cloudy seas, When the road is a ribbon of moonlight over the purple moor, A highwayman comes riding- Riding-riding- A highwayman comes riding, up to the old inn-door."
I’m a hammock guy, myself. I like the simplicity of it and my hip doesn’t appreciate sleeping on the ground anymore. The under quilt was an absolute game changer for me. It extended my camping season tremendously. Fantastic video. I would love to hear whatever historical information you come up with on the tunnel.
Always puts a smile on my face when one of your vids pop up….Never watch it on the go I always wait until I am sitting in comfort at home. Cheers mate.
Great spot,reminds me of my grandparents acreage in coastal California. I used to roam all over it As always Andy you provide the absolute best content and you are so down to earth and honest keep up the great work greetings from Kingman Arizona
Love your videos Andy mate. Your commitment to your channel and the diversity that you bring us all is second to none. Very much appreciated mate and long may it continue. 🙏🫡👌🤞👊
That’s got to be one of the best locations ( and dinner) Andy. Thank you for taking us with you. Odd Woman Out tells me she’s pretty sure that building was a former ice house. My sauces arrived yesterday and we love them. The Scotch bonnet is my favourite variety. Well done and thank you. Atb Paul.
Hello from Windsor, Ontario, fellow Canadian 😊 Enjoying Andy’s videos whenever possible. Camped out at the Pinery provincial Park for many year, as well as Camp Ippewash every year until it was closed.
You have a real knack of finding these interesting quirky places to camp. Just very happy that a herd of deer didn't come galloping along the path and through your campsite!
Got the sauces. Just tried the hot sauce so far, AMAZING, so fruity and just the right amount of proper hot. Used it in a carrot, chili and coriander soup I've been making for years that my wife goes nuts for, worked perfectly.
What a beautiful and magical looking place you found. While watching I could imagine the men and woman that may have traveled on the road there and under or over the bridge just gorgeous. Thank you for sharing.
I love your videos. The amount of time you take to set up shots and angles and so beautiful spots you find. So much work go into these videos and I love your calm, relaxed energy. Definitely feel good videos for me.
I only recently found your channel, and i love it. I especially loved this video and the smart car video. That old stone bridge is precisely the kind of places i love to explore. Thanks for all you do, and much love from Louisiana, USA ⚜️🇺🇲
Love hammock camping, I’ve got a bit of a diy set up we used to camp from a canoe on the river. First learnt to hammock camp when I used to work out in the Amazon and we would go on weeklong jungle treks.
As always Andy, loved this camp and what a truly unique and special location, again what a cracking camp cooking too, you never cease to amaze or impress me, thank you very much. Best regards, Neil.
We are steeped in history here in the UK.. and in some ways the envy of other countries and their little past in comparison..I feel so lucky to live here..this video depicts an ancient structure of which we have many...thanks Andy... 🙂
So true, here in the states they want to tear everything down and build no stuff and tear down monuments, like they want to erase our history and create their own.
Absolutely outstanding Andy, I love it, just goes to show you can go out there and put up a hammock anywhere. Nice vid mate . you’ve actually inspired me to do exactly what you do and just go out and camp anywhere, thanks mate.
Absolutely love this vid! We are living through your visions. Thank you for the education, great eats, and intriguing chats. Much love from the states.❤
Hey Andy! I havent camped since I was a kid but I am hoping to get brave enough to take my kids out alone one time. I dont know how I stumbled you your channel but its really helped me through a rough couple of weeks. Your content is lovely and calming and very high quality. Having a brew with you by the fire is such a treat. Thank you
Thanks Andy! We love your creative camping ideas! We would never have thought about keeping ice through the summer when you can just step up to the fridge and get ice water! The history makes me appreciate the conveniences we have now! The food you prepare causes a lot of drooling! We appreciate all the work that goes into these videos! Love from Kent County, Michigan!
Always looking forward to a new video.....even though the old ones are still worthy of a watch or two! Thanks for making some of the best content on the Tube! Cheers from the Prairies of Canada! 🍻⛺️🇨🇦✌️
I always love seeing Andy cook in the wild. In my camping days, often on motorcycle roadtrips, I thought I was doing great with my freezedried Mountain House heated on a propane hiker stove. 😅
Andy with all your fabulous permissions you have, and your love of history, have you ever considered adding a metal detector to your travel kit. I have just taken it up and it’s amazing . Maybe a good addition to your content and a whole other new group of fans not to mention the amazing finds possible … all the best Andy love the channel mate
Definitely an ice house, easily a couple of hundred years old. During the winters, when they had proper winters ice would be collected from local lakes and would be placed in the ice houses. With the doors kept closed ice would last throughout the year as it was tightly stacked and the pits would be pretty deep too. The earth around them made the perfect insulation. Most large estates would have one.
That's the one, The blocks were stacked with straw/hay in between them to stop it turning it into a giant ice cube! 😄 Many big Country houses will have had an ice house back in the day.
Love this setup. A good example of making use of what's around you. I agree with you, the bean recipe would go nicely with a big slab of Texas-honeysweet cornbread.
so envious of your country and the history it holds. Love imagining the life of those way way back and to think you are there touching the same stones. So cool. Watch out for the medeival knight riding towards you in the sucken trail!!! 🤺🤺 I will keep dreaming from over here.🇨🇦
Beautiful camp site ❤ This place is awesome! Love your videos and cooking skills 😋. Thanks for your time and I enjoy your videos very much. Georgia Fan 🙌
Thats fantastic. You guys over in England have some amazing history over there. I couldn’t imagine living in a place with medieval bridges just hanging out there where knights and such traveled across. So cool.
I so enjoy watching your videos Andy. They are shot so professionally. Your calming voice is so soothing. I love to watch you create meals too. This site was amazing i so appreciate architecture. The arch is beautiful and the little tunnel structure is wonderful. All those beautiful bricks and stones laid to make them. Such a wonderful camp site 😊 Thank you so much Andy.
Andy, you and your buddy, the bloke in the woods, sometimes explain some of the UK history. It adds a huge LIKE for some folks. Thank you, from…the US, east Tennessee.
The little underground domed building looks like an ice house - if so it would have had ice taken from ponds in winter inside it, which will have been used for refrigeration at some or other big house - ice is reputed to have lasted up to 12 months inside them
I don't camp anymore, I'm now 58, but in my youth I was a brownie, a guide, a ranger, and a cub leader. I loved camping. Also we always did a week camping as a family once a year in Wales, Devon or Cornwall but alas camping isn't for everyone and I'm now physically disabled since 2009, so I enjoy camping through your eyes and enthusiasm, thank you.
Nice spot although I was worried about that stone under your butt 😅😅so glad you moved it.nice cosy set up.beautiful 🦌 fallow deer.The stove worked well.great menu as always.. I love how our USA followers are here hi all 🙋♀️ .
Every time we get a shot of Andy walking up a hill, or crossing a river I think, Poor Andy had to do that twice, just to set the camera up on the other side. some amazing shots though, all that was missing from the bridge view was medieval flaming torches on the walls under the bridge and you've got the scene to a medieval drama. Nice work Andy. Thanks.
Loved the video as always. I did have a cold shiver watching this video as my Nan used to make Pork and Beans. However hers was a little different to yours, hers had a curry base (make as hot or not as you like). The recipe has been passed down from my Nan to my mother and now to me.
This is my all time favourite spot you've been to, so far! Beautiful! You seem to favour the lighter, more open view, but my eyes are drawn to the "darker" side! I can only imagine the people who have traveled that road, a thousand years ago. I want to explore! To feel like I'm back in time!
You didn't do justice to the simple stove. I've got one and it's mega. You made it look extremely difficult 🙈🤣 it's as easy as filling it up before you leave and using it when you're ready. Easy. 🤣
Andy, you have got the best channel ever. I watched this video a few times, and then I realized oopsies I forgot to comment. So here I am. I'm definitely going to watch this video again. I can't help it it's just so awesome. You had me cracking up when you said this is still from the 52 box, and you said "see I told you I wasn't an alcoholic." bahahaha. You are simply one of the best. And wow the food woo-hoo looked so scrumptiously delicious 😋 😍 Baked beans from scratch yummy. God bless you Keep adventuring
This was a cool spot you found Andy! This would have made a nice spooky Halloween video, but I'm sure you have something lined up for us. Great camping 👍
Andy, I really enjoy you videos. I am 58, live in Florida. I have non hodgkins lymphoma cancer and I can't camp anymore. So I am living in vicariously through you. Thank you for the relaxing videos. It calms me. Uncle Dave.
Stay strong brother, wishing you all the best from across the pond!

Definitely the best camping channel he always keeps it interesting even with his cooking.

Your videos have helped me so much mate, without sounding like a goon lol I feel like it's a couple of mates overnighting in the woods. Chills me right out. Thanks big guy!
I think many of us on here see Andy as a mate, and we are all camping with him vicariously!!
@@carole3734 😊
stay positive
I swear the major problem with watching your videos andy is i always need snacks on hand as your delicious recipes make me hungry when watching 😅
Riiiiiiiiight lol

also thought this before man
The brick structure is an'Ice house'. There is a similar one on the grounds of Chalcot House in Wiltshire.(Explored by me as a young lad).
Definitely.. I've seen a few. Most estates had them.
I wondered that , thanks😀
Got one near me at the Wykham Estate North Yorkshire.
interesting, i thought it was a lime kiln, is there any reason that they are spherical on the inside?
Yeah I used to work in a big estate and this looks like the ice house there. They were usually built underground. The circular shape was to hold the cold in, corners lead to a larger surface area. usually domed at the top and covered in soil to help insulate and tapered towards the bottom to help with any melt water run off. They had extra thick walls also helping with insulation. This allowed ice to be stored for use in the warmer months. There would have been a couple of doors in that entranceway to also help insulate.

I always love seeing Andy cook in the wild. In my camping days, often on motorcycle roadtrips, I thought I was doing great with my freezedried Mountain House heated on a propane hiker stove. 😅
Andy with all your fabulous permissions you have, and your love of history, have you ever considered adding a metal detector to your travel kit. I have just taken it up and it’s amazing . Maybe a good addition to your content and a whole other new group of fans not to mention the amazing finds possible … all the best Andy love the channel mate
Great idea!!
Fully expected to see Robin Hood and Little John stroll by....
Lovely and peaceful camp, Andy. Well done, you.
My thought exactly! Robin Hood, or maybe Merlin and Arthur.
Probably an ice house - cut blocks of ice in the winter from lakes or ponds etc and stack them in the dome brick chamber
Not much ice in UK unfortunately 😢
Definitely an ice house, easily a couple of hundred years old. During the winters, when they had proper winters ice would be collected from local lakes and would be placed in the ice houses. With the doors kept closed ice would last throughout the year as it was tightly stacked and the pits would be pretty deep too. The earth around them made the perfect insulation. Most large estates would have one.
Yes, I thought ice House!
That's the one, The blocks were stacked with straw/hay in between them to stop it turning it into a giant ice cube! 😄 Many big Country houses will have had an ice house back in the day.
Love this setup. A good example of making use of what's around you. I agree with you, the bean recipe would go nicely with a big slab of Texas-honeysweet cornbread.
so envious of your country and the history it holds. Love imagining the life of those way way back and to think you are there touching the same stones. So cool. Watch out for the medeival knight riding towards you in the sucken trail!!! 🤺🤺 I will keep dreaming from over here.🇨🇦
There have been people in Canada for about 14,000 years. Plenty history there too.
So happy for a new ep, I would like to see some more shelter building again, tents are nice but the wild shelters are so cool
Beautiful camp site ❤
This place is awesome! Love your videos and cooking skills 😋.
Thanks for your time and I enjoy your videos very much.
Georgia Fan 🙌
Thats fantastic. You guys over in England have some amazing history over there. I couldn’t imagine living in a place with medieval bridges just hanging out there where knights and such traveled across. So cool.
Look at that beautiful deer xxxx
Thank you for this wonderful video! I love the integration of this historic site with your camp. Cheers!
It’s past 11pm here, am tucked up in bed watching Andy cook an amazing looking Tikka Masala…Damn I want a curry now! 😋😋😂
What a brilliantly atmospheric place to camp, I would love it! Another great video Andy 🙂
I so enjoy watching your videos Andy. They are shot so professionally. Your calming voice is so soothing. I love to watch you create meals too. This site was amazing i so appreciate architecture. The arch is beautiful and the little tunnel structure is wonderful. All those beautiful bricks and stones laid to make them. Such a wonderful camp site 😊 Thank you so much Andy.
Always a sense of calm and relaxness watching your videos, keep doing what you’re doing Andy!
Andy, you and your buddy, the bloke in the woods, sometimes explain some of the UK history. It adds a huge LIKE for some folks. Thank you, from…the US, east Tennessee.
Dont worry about us Andy, have as many beers as you want...live life to the fullest
Oh my days think this one is one of my favourites location and food yum!!!!! 😋
The little underground domed building looks like an ice house - if so it would have had ice taken from ponds in winter inside it, which will have been used for refrigeration at some or other big house - ice is reputed to have lasted up to 12 months inside them
Was about to say the same certainly looks like an Ice house withe the domed roof and being partially underground to ikeep it cool
@@richardjones3303 It reminded me of the ice house in Tatton Park (Cheshire), that I always wanted to explore as a kid but the entrance was barred :(
My favourite channel. Thank you Kent.
I don't camp anymore, I'm now 58, but in my youth I was a brownie, a guide, a ranger, and a cub leader. I loved camping. Also we always did a week camping as a family once a year in Wales, Devon or Cornwall but alas camping isn't for everyone and I'm now physically disabled since 2009, so I enjoy camping through your eyes and enthusiasm, thank you.
It's always great to see you do theses adventures
Nice spot although I was worried about that stone under your butt 😅😅so glad you moved it.nice cosy set up.beautiful 🦌 fallow deer.The stove worked well.great menu as always.. I love how our USA followers are here hi all 🙋♀️ .
Every time we get a shot of Andy walking up a hill, or crossing a river I think, Poor Andy had to do that twice, just to set the camera up on the other side. some amazing shots though, all that was missing from the bridge view was medieval flaming torches on the walls under the bridge and you've got the scene to a medieval drama. Nice work Andy. Thanks.
Nice to see a bridge without any graffiti on it.
As it is on a private estate and not on public land were the graffiti artists have access to it
Loved the video as always. I did have a cold shiver watching this video as my Nan used to make Pork and Beans. However hers was a little different to yours, hers had a curry base (make as hot or not as you like). The recipe has been passed down from my Nan to my mother and now to me.
This is my all time favourite spot you've been to, so far! Beautiful! You seem to favour the lighter, more open view, but my eyes are drawn to the "darker" side! I can only imagine the people who have traveled that road, a thousand years ago. I want to explore! To feel like I'm back in time!
Great camp Andy. Something different, I look forward to how you make camping so exciting and relaxing. Can't wait until your next endeavor.
You didn't do justice to the simple stove. I've got one and it's mega. You made it look extremely difficult 🙈🤣 it's as easy as filling it up before you leave and using it when you're ready. Easy. 🤣
thanks for making these videos, it's always good vibes right when you need em
2:51 sleepy hollow vibe. 💕 Anyway, Hi Andy. Always look foward to you videos
Andy, you have got the best channel ever. I watched this video a few times, and then I realized oopsies I forgot to comment. So here I am. I'm definitely going to watch this video again. I can't help it it's just so awesome.
You had me cracking up when you said this is still from the 52 box, and you said "see I told you I wasn't an alcoholic." bahahaha. You are simply one of the best. And wow the food woo-hoo looked so scrumptiously delicious 😋 😍
Baked beans from scratch yummy.
God bless you
Keep adventuring
I reckon that tunnel and structure is an icehouse. Great video as always dude 🤟
Beautiful! Great place to explore. Thank you for taking us along! ❤
This was a cool spot you found Andy! This would have made a nice spooky Halloween video, but I'm sure you have something lined up for us. Great camping 👍
What a lovely place you've found. As always, what a lovely beautiful and calm video ❤
You sir are a legend in your own right, just can’t get enough of your videos, find them so relaxing
