The winner will be chosen at random in the next video!
Lovely camp out with your son, despite the conditions. You did just what your channel is called 👍 Susan from Alan Partridge, I always loved her deadpan character. 🤣
Hey again Michael, thank you sir, very kind.
Yeah that was at the time some very strong gusts but last weeks camp ( coming out next Tues) well... that was wind I'd not experienced.
Haha yeah Susan! She was lovely. Thanks again buddy
I want that tent . Be great for my grandson to join me when I go camping . Have a great day
Hi Carl, unfortunately the competition as now ending and the prize as been posted out today mate but stay tuned for more in the future. Don't forget to subscribe and hit the notification bell for look out for more!
Im pleased Charlie shared with you, more sensible. A windy camp for both of you.
Hi Annie, yeah you gotta make the right decisions in these types of conditions. Thank you for watching
Boy that was a tough set up in that wind. Enjoyed watching you both chatting on this one. You cracked me up again Ant - “just going to record some wind noise”. I expected to hear a loud fart 🤣 Nice video mate 👌❄️⛺️
that tickled me that, as i thought the same lol
@@Conny79 great minds 😂
Yeah it was a tough one Joe especially with a tent that you haven't even opened before this day lol! I maybe should have released the guy lines first before venturing out haha! You know me 😆.
Yeah he's a good laugh is Charlie pal, very dry sense of humour. Haha it never even crossed my mind, I did record some wind noise 😂 just didn't put it in the vid hahaha! Thanks pal.
Hahah!
Fantastic gesture Ant, very best of luck to whoever wins it.
Top video too, can't beat proper family time.
After what you've put the old Bobcat through, any praise you give another tent says a hell of a lot 😁
Hi Ivan, thank you mate. I just want it to go to a good family home, maybe someone who's struggling a little as the cost for the DofE is cheap so would help with that. They do provide all the equipment but it's nice to just chill in your own tent at the end of the day.
Yeah I love spending time with Charlie, he's a top lad.
Haha, yeah the Bob needs a rest for a bit I reckon Ivan 😄. Thanks mate I very much appreciate that.
I think wind is the worst type of weather to cope with as a camper. You can shelter from rain, snow and bright sun, but the wind just batters you. Thanks for a great video Ant. My kids are all too old for DofE but wish everyone else luck!
Fair play to you both for getting out it those conditions! Charlie is shooting up!
Very generous giveaway and good luck to those who enter and i hope someone deserving wins it👍
Hey Benny mate, yeah it was great to have him on-board for winter camp, he's always said no in the past. Yeah he's just shy of my height now so fingers crossed he'll be taller than me soon.
Me too mate, honesty is a big deal to me. Thanks for watching buddy
Top night on the hill. Nordisk make some quality gear - Scandi gear is the best, they know their outdoors! Good luck to the entrants! ATB pal
Yeah cracker mate, great yo have Charlie out with me and even better to have his help tiding up 😄. Yes, Nordisk are a brand it seems you can count on for quality. There needs to be many tests before I give my endorsement though. Thanks Chris for watching
Get the kids cooking, packing away, jobs a good en. Well done chaps. Winds looked brutally cold at the start
Hey Chris, how's things pal. Definitely mate, I loved the morning, just spent it fishing, drinking brews and filming haha, I'm not used to that haha. Yeah the wind was constant, kept us both up most of the night but it was relaxing, both of us felt quite safe in the Nordisk. Thanks for watching pal
Belting video as always Ant. Good luck to whoever enters your competition, and good luck to Charlie on his exams. 😊 BTW love to boot table lol.
Thank you Billy mate, just out in the van on Anglesey for the weekend mate, you out over the holidays pal?
Yeah thanks pal, I'll let him know. Cheers bud
@@AntSurviveTheNight hi Ant. Im out in the MH with mi partner Sharon. Out for a week as she has an holiday overdue. Ill be out with the mighty bobcat soon 😁. Have a good holiday. Lots of things to explore on Anglesey mate. Not sure if you saw mi '3 abandoned places' vid. It will show you some places off the beaten track to explore 😁
@billyslittlebigadventurech9050 good on you guys, enjoy it pal. Oh right is that on your camping channel? Stick a link in here will ya Billy, we'll have a watch tonight. Cheers pal

Yes please just starting camping. Only got a kettle and a chair so far. Been working through some of your videos and checking out your camping systems. So thank for all your advice.
Steve
Hi, please type in I want that tent. You won't get entered otherwise. Thx
Not for me thank you. Its me thats starting camping/backpacking not my grandkids. But really enjoying the channel.
Hi Stephen, good stuff mate, I'm sure you'll love wild camping. If there's any advice needed then just ask. Thanks pal
No worries, yeah it's very short so if your more than 5.7 I'd say you would struggle
👍 Thanks - going keep going through the videos and try ro soak up knowledge as much as poss. Then get out there and do it! Steve ps am 73 with arithritis😂😂e
I want this tent! My 13 year old daughter is just starting he bronze DoE, she is a bit on the petite side shall we say, got a photo of her 65l pack on for doing her practice hike, one breath of air and I think she would be in her back.
Hi mate, no problem your in the draw! Aww then I'm sure she would fit in the Soul 1 haha! The best of luck, winner drawn in the next video!
Good Video. I always suffer alot on my camps from bad wind 😮
Thank you Oscar. Haha me too unfortunately for the person sleeping next to me, on this case my son and along with my snoring too and the real wind he didn't stand a chance of getting any sleep lol
I want this tent, step son is about to start his DofE this month.. new subscriber here too. Looking forwards to catching up on all your previous adventures. atb
Ahh brilliant mate, he'll love it! It's a fabulous challenge and really does help towards college and job interviews. Big thanks for subbing, I appreciate it pal and I hope you enjoy the rest of my content
the weather was a bit wild to say the least Ant you did well to get the tent pegged out in that wind . well done .Looks like you had a cosey night despite the wind .
I must say your lad likes a bit of crumpet with his butter lol .
I look forward to the next Adventure Ant .
Yeah it was absolutely blowing mate. It didn't stop all night. Managed to break a little the next day but yes, it was hard work getting the tent set up. Haha yeah that was my crumpet, may as well clog the old heart up a bit more and enjoy breakfast eh! Cheers Tarmac.
Great vid nice see you both out special times. I want that tent 🐜❤
Hi Alan, rhank you very much. Yeah that's what it's all about isn't it pal. Ok thanks buddy, your in!
Such great adventure. High wind is always a problem 😮😮😮
Thanks matey, hope you're well. Yeah high wind is so hard especially when pitching a tunnel tent lol
I don't want this tent. Enjoyed the video ATB Cheers from the mountains of NZ 😊😊
Thank you matey and no worries at all. I'm glad you enjoyed watching it, I appreciate that. Look after yourself, Ant 👍
Wow,well that was a wild camp indeed and well done Charlie on your epic wild camp making great memories with your old fella & great choice to move in the Leon luxury lodge. That tent of Leon's did very well considering it's not a rough nut like the bobcat😂. Every credit Leon,nice tent that pal.. you are getting too posh.. 😂. On another note,what a lovely gesture on the giveaway for anybody doing their dofe who deserves it. True gent. Nice one pal. Glad you both survived Blencathra as it always appears to be a wild one there for you. Take care pal and have a great Easter atb Andy
Yeah not an easy one this mate, a great walk in though, loved the snow. Yeah Charlie is a real trooper, I'm very proud of him coming out in that.
Haha yeah beast of a tent for sure. There will be lots of videos featuring the tent as we push it to its limits and why not eh! We want to see if it's a Bobcat killer and to do that we need to punish it.
Yeah Leon is a top bloke for letting us use it first that's for sure.
Yeah I'm hoping it goes to someone who will use it for DofE but only they will know that.
Big thanks Andy for your comment, I really appreciate it as you know.
Brilliant video this man and the Nordisk looks great. 👍🏼
Ahh cheers Liam, glad you enjoyed it pal. Yeah I'm looking forward to lots more testing in it. Big thanks for stopping by, I appreciate it buddy 🙏
@@AntSurviveTheNight you’re welcome pal, I admire your positive attitude and just keeping it real. 👍🏼
@GoodBlokeOutdoors very kind words Liam, thank you buddy! Your a gem 💎
I want this tent....
Prescious times with your lad.👍
It certainly is Bernard, spend as much time with family as you can eh! Time/life is too short.
Seen you sticking the Nordisk up mate. I had to go check my cupboard to see if you'd been in and borrowed mine 🤣
Iv camped that same spot with mine and yeah, it is a bad spot for wind...I got absolutely battered as well. Tent took it like a champ though, they are a decent bit of kit Ant 💪
Nice to see Charlie out enjoying it with you before he gets his head in his books. Best of luck with your end of year results Charlie. Hope you smash it buddy 🤞
Haha lol Marc, how you doing mate. Yeah what a fab tent eh! Loving it. I definitely will be looking at Nordisk for myself. It felt bomb proof mate.
Yeah the wind there is tough, harsh and unforgiving isn't it pal.
Yeah it was great to have Charlie out with me, love his company and more so now he's older he's soooo dry pal haha! Thanks mate if he doesn't see this I'll let him know. Look after yourself Marc and I'll cya soon pal
@AntSurviveTheNight I'm OK thanks pal. Hope your keeping well too Ant. Back any better ?
I don't think you'll go far wrong with Nordisk Ant. Iv always enjoyed using mine. The extra space in the oppland for me with having the dog is a god send mate. Get all your kit in there and cook no problem.
You were definitely brave sticking it up in that wind mind Ant 🤣 it looked absolutely brutal. I had the opposite, wind got up during the night, and I had to pack mine down in it next morning 😂
Defo a bad spot for wind if you catch it wrong 😂
I'm looking forward to meeting Charlie at some point Ant. We'll have to do a celebratory camp after his exams. But yeah, that would be great if you could pass my message on to him please mate, if he dont see it 👍
Thanks mate you too, enjoy your Easter break buddy, and I'll catch you soon 👍
@outdoorzyuk3131 I'm OK pal thanks. Yeah seems to be at the moment, I was fed up of taking pain killers all the time so went to a herbalist and got a few tablets. Touch wood it's eased significantly Marc.
No I'm really excited to have tried this tent and so far it's handled that harsh weather really well. The plan is to take it out in all types of weather and throughout the seasons just like I did with the Bobcat and get a real feel for it, that way I can give an honest review.
Yeah it was a rough pitch up mate but once in we both felt quite secure 👍.
Charlie is doing fantastic mate at the moment. All things are looking good for his college place, he's been accepted into 3 but as to get the grades but he's studying which is brill.
Definitely mate, soon as these are done we'll get something sorted with the three of us, he'd like that dude. I'll certainly pass your message on for sure mate thank you Marc
@AntSurviveTheNight Sounds like you've done the right thing there Ant . Can't live on pain killers mate.
Certainly sounds positive anyway, pleased your getting some relief mate 👌
I'm buzzing you've managed to get your hands on that Nordisk mate. Can't wait to hear your thoughts on it dude. I'll be following along as you put it to the test 👍
Great news for Charlie that Ant, I hope he does really well and gets an offer of a placement at all 3 collages mate. I'm looking forward to that little meet up already. Iv heard Charlie cooks a mean breakfast 😂
Great stuff, thanks Ant 👍
@outdoorzyuk3131 haha it was all going well, I should have kept my mouth shut. The top of my back as just gone this morning. My own fault I should have took it easy getting up instead of going at it too fast. We're camping in the van you see so was getting stuff sorted for the morning and I've pulled it, doesn't seem too bad though thank goodness.
Yeah the Nordisk is actually Leon's but he's happy for us to use it which is great! I really do like it, first impressions are great!
Charlie said thank you very much Marc, he's up for doing a camp when he's got these exams out the road. Be good that mate. Thanks again Marc 👍
nice tent that! better be in one piece haha. awesome vid pal, and that wind was mega. luckliy, i couldnt make it haha
Yeah Leon it's ace! Thanks for the bprrow pal. She held up fab! Haha! Thanks mate, yeah the wind was outrageous all day and night, calmed for a spot of fishing at least in the morning.
Good on you lads, you do right Good luck on your DofE Charlie. Great looking tent. 👌 will be a great win for whoever gets it. Good luck 👍 folks.
Thank you Mark, I'll let him know buddy. Yeah I'm well impressed with it pal. Yeah the Vango, definitely, you just have to be small to fit in it. Thanks again buddy.
I want this tent
Almost Ice fishing there…have fun stay safe.
Not in the drawing.
Yeah it was darn cold Kenneth mate, hopefully the last of the freezing temps, I'm ready for spring pal
I don’t want this tent 😁 so I am glad I live in Sweden. My wife would probably move out if I got another tent Ant 🤣
Fantastic video mate. Great to see you out there with your son having some quality time together. Great tent, the Nordisk and the Norwegian Turmat isn’t bad either! Fishing is going as usual but I think there is no problem with the rod 😂
Thanks for sharing your adventures!!
Haha hi Anders mate. Thank you buddy. Yeah always ace to have Charlie out with me matey, he's a class act. Yeah they just make everything right and everything better than anyone else the Norwegians do haha!
Yeah fishing wasn't too good but I am very excited about this week! Heading to Scotland with Matt Adventure is Made on a wilderness fishing trip for a couple of nights, should sort me out eh!! Thank matey as always for taking the time to watch and comment 👍
@@AntSurviveTheNight sounds great mate! Matt and those Scottish lochs should sort it out and guarantee some catch! Looking forward to seeing your next adventure!
Change of plan mate, the weather as put paid to that but still gonna be a good trip buddy
Hi ant there's a specialist college in corbridge Northumberland and they do the duke of Edinburgh, so maybe you could keep them in mind with the tent x
Hi Joanne, ahh right, if you like I can put your name in the draw and if it's nearby to you I could sent it on your behalf if you win?
Great video Ant,love Alan Partridge 👍👍⛺️⛺️⛺️⛺️⛺️⛺️⛺️👍👍
Haha he's ace Alan isn't he!

@@AntSurviveTheNight I just popped on i see you have loads lol it will take me a while. Thank you for replying 😀
@shazie131 ahh no worries at all, how you enjoy them, big thanks again Shazie 👍
Hi Ant, awsome adventure with your son in the beautiful Lake district. It looked so cold I bet both of you were freezing. Have a great Easter and see you on l adventure 😊👍
Hi Cath, thank you very much, yeah it's always ace to have Charlie with me. We were freezing outside putting the tent up but after that it was toasty inside. Hope your having a wonderful Easter too!
Cracking video, Ant . Interesting tent you both slept in, but it's a bit too pricy when you're on a limited finance for the month . What i am in is your green canvas type smock jacket you wore in the first part of the video. TIA from Big Andy.
Hi Andy, thank you sir, very kind. Yeah it's a bit more of a cost but for the Wild Country tunnel tents your not looking that far of this price really. The fact that it's from a company that hands down knows the hash winter environments and the quality of the build is enough for me to take a good look at but I do get money is tight. As you most likely know I normally camp on a budget but it's great to spend a little time out in something I don't normally get the chance to experience.
Yeah the smock was a lovely gift off Ginger, it's never been off my back haha!
😂👍🍻
Thank you Ted mate, hope your well pal
Cook pass partridge.. 😂
Hahahaha! Did ya like that Phil haha
I want this tent!
I DON'T want this tent...although the Nordisk is a nice looking piece of kit.
More winter Charlie camps please
Haha! Oh it's lovely mate, the Nordisk is just yummy! Haha, very spacious and I felt completely safe, it could withstand a lot more I can tell you.
Yes, for sure mate. I love Charlie's company, he's very, very dry.... Kinda reminds me of someone 🤔
I want this tent 👍
But far play on the guy's who's in the competition
