- Hello and welcome back to another Camp!
Today we're Camping in A very stealthy bright orange survival tent... I broke the bank with this one at a whole £8. We have some freeze dried food on the menu...oh and did I mention it was a little bit cold out?
Thanks for watching and all your support!

Seeing the light. Good one.
Thanks for watching!!
Wrapping a bit of duck tape round some something, you could have wrapped it round your finger securing the wipe. Happy new year
If only I had any kind of tape with me haha. Could be worse I could have forgotten the wipes too! Happy new year!
I always carry one, along with 12 large paperclips. Firstly I paperclip it from the out side to the ridge line over the shelter. Then I use some paperclips to clip one end toghter. I have clipped the other end toghter leaving it open at the bottom for air. Makes it a whole lot warmer. I sit up in mine back against my pack it's warmer.
One day I’l revisit this with all these improvements haha
You remind me of Prince William a bit! Anyway, it is funny that I came across your video on this emergency shelter because I was organizing my shed today and came across one of these I bought many years ago still in the package. I thought to myself, would I risk my life to this thing? After watching your video, I probably would. I did add an industrial bin liner and a small space blanket to the package. It is light and small enough to keep in a my day pack for day hikes. Great video! Thanks.😊
Too many people are telling me this haha, clearly need to grow my hair out again!
It certainly did what it needed to, I just hope I’m never in a situation when I really do need it! Thanks for watching & taking the time to comment!
Please Get Yourself A Small First Aid Kit... They're Cheap And Take A Lot Off your mind If You Need It. Great Videos.... Keep Them Coming.
I’ve been meaning to since the first video! In fact I’m going to order one now so I can’t forget… again haha. Thanks for watching!!
Quite cliché I know but I've not been in the greatest head space lately and these videos have been majorly uplifting- cracking stuff keep it up!
Hi! That’s nice to hear, glad it’s helping in some small way! Look after yourself 👊. Thanks for taking the time to comment!
well Craig that was a Awesome camp out it's not match I can see about it just well done you set it up well and it's not made for comfort lol mate👍 and can't wait to see what you're doing next Indian next video mate 👍 and Happy New Year to you too🎊🥳👍
certainly isn’t made for comfort haha, but it definitely did its job! Thanks for watching! And happy new year!
Wow such balmy temps, it's -30 here. That's why my SHTF bag I always have with me when out of doors, is basically a well packed infantry Bergan. Yes, it weighs a bit but I can survive my weather. Put a couple nails in your kit, to be used as tie off points. Saved me a lot of hassle, in those inconvenient spots. Make a "coozie" for you FD meal, it helps keep the heat in and can be used as a insulated spot for your head at night!
Hmm, I think 0 or -30 would be an issue regardless in an emergency but I know which one I’d pick all the same! Had to look up what SHTF meant, assuming it was some sort of proper camping term haha. But yeah good shout with the nails must attempt to remember that! Thanks for watching!
Cool tube tent video! Wanted to try one but never got around to it. Keep up the good work!
Thanks! Well at least you won’t have to subject yourself to it now haha
All that shelter really needs is about 4 or 5 decent clothes pegs on the ridge line to stop it sagging or rolling down.
I have seen these in green/camo pattern. I might have a good with one.
Cheers Craig 👋🏻
Nice one! Looked very cold. I have always wanted to try out one of those emergency tents.
Thanks!! It was very cold but it was just a touch warmer inside it!
Hi there from Sacramento, California. I just came upon your channel and I really enjoy your videos. You are a hoot😅 just subscribed.
Hi! Thanks for subscribing! Glad you enjoy! I’m sure the dreary weather you see on my channel is far removed from what you’re used too 😬
That survival shelter would be better if it was closed at one end. It wouldn't be good in rain at all. Even better taping at one end and using like a bivvy bag in extreme weather? I can't imagine it being comfortable this time of year as heat will just pass out either end. I keep a few spare sandwich bags with me to put my power bank, cables and any other electrical into if I'm concerned they may get wet or even damp. Even when being transported in my backpack. Enjoyable video 👍
Good info
I’m grateful it didn’t rain for sure, I’d agree that it would be better closed up, but it was surprising how much warmer it felt inside. Maybe it was psychological haha. Maybe in the future I’l do it again but make adjustments to it! Good shout with the sandwich bags and thanks for taking the time to comment!
Love your videos mate
Thanks! Always nice to hear! Cheers for watching.
Happy new year Craig,love the maximum stealth jacket mate!
Look forward to more vids this year great content.
Happy new year! I feel like my fleece matched the tent more than the environment haha. Thanks for watching!
You did great,i always carry one of those silver "space " blankets stashed in my gear and its helped me on a couple nights when the temps dropped more than expected, I keep it in the pocket with my little first aid kit,hint hint
It certainly did the bare minimum of keeping me alive, but there’s a subtle temp difference between being in that Orange monstrosity and outside! And yes yes I’ve ordered one not 10mins ago, otherwise I would of forgotten for the 38th week in a row haha
Many thanks for another great video,was worried you would freeze camping in the plastic bag.at least if they sent a search party they would easily find you 😂😂
To be honest if that happened in that tent.. I’d rather not be found haha.
That shelter could be used for roasting a brace of chickens. Good vid, Cheers Craig.
I’ll do that in the next video, Rotisserie chicken and stealth camping haha
Brilliant mate looked a cold one
Cheers! Yeah I’ve had cosier camps that’s for sure!
Good camp Craig could see you from google earth mate lol 😂😂 these survival shelters are ok if you were stuck maybe if it was closed at one end at least would have been a bit warmer ,kudos to you for giving it a shot though all the best mate for 2024 and happy new year to you and family 👍👌⛺️⛺️❤️
Oh yeah for sure that thing is not one bit stealthy! But I guess you want to be found when using this normally! Yeah I’d say if I had some tape or something I could have improved it but then again I probably wouldn’t fit if I did 😬 Happy new year!
Great video. I need to do this, I carry a similar Enegency tent every day in my EDC backpack.
Thanks! It certainty did the bare minimum of keeping me alive which I guess is all you need haha!
always wanted to try this, i do have a few of those foil sheets.
Go for it! I’m sure you could do a better job at it too haha
I look forward to all your videos!
Thanks for saying so! Hopefully you continue to enjoy them!
Happy New Year Craig. Love your channel but if you keep this up they will find you in a frozen heap. You need an EDC with you which includes plasters. You have to make sure you are safe at all times. It’s great entertainment but your safety comes first. I remember chipsticks but not the yogurt thing. And pick ur feet up when you walk🚶🏾♂️⛺️🏴🩹🚑
Happy new year! Ahh I’l be fine if things got that bad I could be in civilisation in like 10mins haha. I’ve a First aid kit ordered after forgetting every week for 9 months!
I can walk you know… Just not while focusing on the camera at the same time it seems haha
You should have made a fire mate and then put the tarp covering your top and one side opposite the fire so the heat reflects of it. I think that would have been more comfortable. Anyway we live an learn. Keep on camping.
I was considering it, but everything around me was so damp I made the decision that I could not be bothered with that fight haha.
Happy new year Craig 😊 That's definitely not a very stealthy colour 😅 Chipsticks were always a snack I never really wanted but my mum would always get them but when I ate them I always enjoyed them! Lol. I don't remember those yoghurt things though 🤔 Enjoyed the video and look forward to the next one! 😁
Happy New year! Oh yeah definitely you could see that thing from space! Hardly anyone has heard of Frufoos maybe it was just some fever dream I had haha. Thanks for watching!!
@@CampingwithCraig We just had froobs 🤣🤣
I remember Frubes being released, everyone had them at school, then it was yo yos, Pokémon, finger skate Boards and pogs in some order haha
@@CampingwithCraig Haha yes and getting tazzos or pogs in packets of wotsits 🤣 They don't do anything fun like that anymore. Lol
Also.. other super cold weather tips.
Put water in your pot, if it freezes no problem. Put your gas in your bag or else stick it in for a few minutes before you get up. Keep your batteries in your bag because they'll just die in the cold and finally get those chemical heat pad things. They stay hot all night
Yeah the gas was freezing over earlier in the evening but it was ok inside and most of my electricals have a box but if course not the main camera! And I was looking for those Hot hand things but couldn’t find them anywhere! But I’ve lived to tell the tale haha
Whay about a screwball for nostalgia! Ice cream with the gum in the bottom
Last time I had one of those I was running out to the ice cream van with 50p in my hand! Haha
I still like chip sticks great video
They’re hard to beat! Thanks!
I wish they'd ban those so called survival things. In a real situation, with no sleeping bag, thry only work in a very limited way, and they don't teach you what that is!
Pro tip for random cuts, spider Web placed over it will stop it bleeding, as will super glue if all else fails!
Nice vid mate, good effort :)
I think in a survival situation I’d rather just keep moving than use this… but who knows I very much doubt I’ll ever be in such jeopardy haha.
Ah I never knew that, but I wouldn’t want to displace a spider haha. I’ve a First aid kit ordered finally though!
Hi there. First video iv seen of yours. Iv bn wanting to see how this emergency tarp would perform esp in cold conditions so thanks for the video. Also always good 😂keep a few plasters band aid an disinfectant with u. But I'll reckon you'll survive that little prick in ur finger. 😊
Hi, thanks for watching! I have finally ordered a first aid kit after forgetting to for over half a year you’ll be pleased to know haha.
4:18 Or smaller trees...
Just sayin...🖖🏼
5:43 Nevermind...😂
💚🤙🏼❤ 🍻
Edit #2- 29:33
Its the seem from stiching it together,
i think 🤔
I need to have a proper look around next time before I commit to a spot!! Haha.
You might be Right! I have no idea still!
Good luck with your channel in 2024 Craig. Best wishes from an Ulsterman living in Spain to you and Nicola. Do you fancy attending a NI football match at Windsor this year? If ⚽interested let me know.
Hi, thanks so much! That Spanish weather would help me greatly camping I’d imagine! I’ve been a suffering Norwich city fan for over 30 years I wouldn’t know what decent football is anymore But that’s very kind!
Snake?
Indeed 😜
