Because of you Andy I am going on my first backpack camping trip since I was in high school (30+ years). In about a month my 18 year old son and I will be on our first 'test' camp (about .5km from the car) to try out all of our new gear, and to prepare for longer, multi-day trips. Thank you for sharing your adventures and for inspiring this old man to get back out there!
My family and I are starting do some more outdoor pursuits and camping thanks to watching Andy. Found him randomly and hes made me want to get back into it all!
Me too, I've bought the gear and me and my mini dachshund Watson are going to camp all around the British Isles the year, can't wait. Thanks Andy, I wouldn't be doing it if it wasn't for you x
Yep got a pop up tent and a terra nova tent too since watching Andy
Hooray! Have a lovely time. Pack extra clothes in your car, just in case
Don't forget to pack sunscreen and bug spray.
Yeah, kinda wondered what would happen with that lantern. I love the response "Oh, no, the lantern is filling up with water, oh well, time for a beer"
I just said somewhat the same thing. That made me chuckle lol
@@54cathypats I said the same thing as well! I laughed out loud when he did that
Best answer EVER 😂
Definitely made me laugh out loud on that one, looked at it commented and then had a beer, like nothing was wrong
...and a joint.
I'm almost 70 and you give me reflection on what I used to do. I've cancer and cannot do what I used to do. I miss all this. Thank you for sharing. I remember so much. I'm from US. Walked Appalachian trail. Did a lot of exploring in mountain trails and seen much. Thank you
Blessya gal, and may you be granted a speedy return to a level of health n' fitness sufficient to allow you to resume your enjoyment of the great outdoors. Good luck and God blessya, Take care n best wishes, Arthur R Sakr
Thank you
I hope your doing well
I am almost 70 I live in the Rockies hunted Elk and Deer all my life I still set up a TiPi and Bushcraft on property My grandkids love it!
@nancyrodney5748 Wishing you a fast recovery n BETTER HEALTH! You've got this....KICK ITS BUTT!!!
🔔🔔🔔🔔🔔🔔🔔 Ring that bell.....❤ from Texas, Mary
It takes a ton of work to produce a video like this but watching it is effortless. Thank you.
Relaxing too,
"Oh no, the lanterns filling up with water. Oh dear. I'm gonna drink a beer." 😂
lol
Well ain't fair that only the lantern gets to have a drink.
Quintessential Andy.
3 or 4 beers is just enough to get me on a week long vodka binge.🤣🤮
Seems like a very English thing to say lol
As I’ve mentioned before, I save these videos for my nighttime viewing. Peaceful end to the day. It’s like he’s a friend, speaking directly to me. And I like the way he enjoys whatever he consumes.
Perfectly said ty
always makes me feel hungry :)
"Oh no! The lantern is filling up with water!! Oh dear - I'm going to drink a beer"
Andy offering solid and universal advice right here hahah 😂😂
😂
I think people like you are getting us all outdoor more, thank you the rain was so nice ….
I love your enthusiasm for inclement weather.
Yeah… I haven’t been camping in years and every time I watch you I feel like I’m there with you. Every time I smell campfire smoke I’m taken aback to camping with my family, songs around the fire. Going to bed in a tent and listening to the adults singing, laughing and talking us kids to sleep, wish I could go back to that time.
Imagine what they were up to after you fell asleep. Boning in the woods like a Cherokee
It's great to see you so cool under adverse conditions and still find some joy in the experience and making the sacrifice to test equipment for the viewers. God bless you.
🇦🇺🖐Hi Andy. Your humour makes me 😅. Especially your reaction to rain in your lantern. With oh well another beer 🍺 😅😅. This camp would test my patience 😅😅.,just as well you do for us 😅😂. Great job 👏 👍.
The camerawork on these videos is always the best. Such relaxing sounds and visuals. Really appreciate all the effort he puts into them!
Pleasently surprised how well for a cheaper tent that stood up to the weather! Its always good to know good equipement in a range of prices
After watching all of your hot tent / wood stove videos over the past few years, I took a leap of faith and ordered the Pomoly Chalet 70 Pro and the Winnerwell Nomad Small wood stove for this year’s camping season. Waiting on their arrival and I can’t wait to improve an already efficient, organized and comfortable camping experience. Thanks for everything you do for all of us, Andy. You’re such a joy to watch every week.
7:40 south Africa cape town I'm a recovering drug addict and watching your videos really helps especially the camping in the rain keep going bud
Are you long sober, what's your drug of choice.
Good luck on your new journey to recovery, believe me there is light at the end of the tunnel, you can fall back in love with life again
Keep on keeping on recovering... wishing you well ...these videos are great for chillin .🙋🏼♀️
Some great camping in and around cape town! I've had amazing memories from south Africa
“Oh no! The lantern is filling up with water! I’m going to drink another beer!” 🤣🤣
If ever there was a man at home in the woods, wind is picking up, rain is blowing in from all sides, oh dear the lantern is filling up with water, a tree could come down at any time and what does Andy do open up another can, that just cracked me up🤣😂 I love it, brilliant !!!☘
I have been binge watching your videos since I discovered you 2 weeks ago. I love camping and I like the way you present new equipment . Your videos are a breath of fresh air.What I particularly like is that you always show affordable stuff unlike some who seem to need a truck to carry their extremely long/tall and expensive tents. You are also showing us a love and respect for nature in a very simple way. Thank you Andy!
That storm reminds me of the first year I worked in the disabled campsite at Glastonbury. It was the year of the famous flood. A baptism of fire.
I woke up around 5am due to the strength and noise of the rain and I heard shouting. They were asking for anyone available to help out rescuing people. We were 15 minutes from the festival being cancelled but luckily the rain stopped.
How on earth they managed to cope with the ensuing mud and help everyone out is testament to how good they are. I've worked there ever since.
Why do they always choose the rainiest month to host Glastonbury? 😂
@@im-Sara-Jayne. Well, they don't actually. It's usually the drier month. But it's more than that. It's about a lot of things like infrastructure, the site, artists and so on. Many artists tour during the summer and are therefore available. The site of many different owners/farmers is available and also stuff like portable toilets is available. Sometimes there are problems like when the Olympics were on it caused a bit of a problem for toilets, but it all has to dovetail
My friend, I feel you.
My first year volunteering at burning man, was the year of the Locust. Took a few years off, then I went and volunteered last year and it flooded. 😐
@@inthewastes Cheers. Though to be fair, while it was harrowing at first, the organization is WELL on the ball and competent so it was no biggie. That's a major reason I stayed with them. We've had many things crop up since then and every time they're on top of it.
I feel for you about Burning Man as their organization seems incompetent.
Camping in wet weather and muddy campsite is not for me bro 😎 🇺🇸
What an amount of work you put in to making these videos. Let me tell you it’s amazing and really appreciated. At times I’m sure it’s a little overwhelming or uncomfortable for you but I admire you and envy you. Fair play. ☘️🇮🇪👍
I liked the little tent - handy for camping alone. For pots and pans, I've gone to the thrift stores. Cutlery, pans, a metal plate or 2. Simple and if you're careful, better quality. Good video again Andy.
I love the bluebells!!
In North Carolina we get these lines of thunderstorms in summer that only last about 15 minutes. Move in and out very fast with torrential rain, strong winds that bend and twist the trees, pretty scary, lots of lightning....and then they’re gone...sun comes out birds start singing 😳🇺🇸
Seen this on TOGR channel with Luke, lol!
I’m from NC too! Nothing like a summer thunderstorm ⛈️ I’ve seen golf ball sized hail then 15 minutes later sun is shining!
My Irish husband had never seen rain like that and was equally terrified and awestruck to watch a large retention pond fill up in less than 10 minutes. Love and miss my homestate!
Nc here too the pop up storms can really be severe sometimes lol
@@Campingwithjames. fo real 🤣
I love your videos, these are so great to watch. I grew up camping in the adirondacks with my dad so these have that feeling to them. I definitely use your videos to help fall asleep at night too. Keep it up
"Oh no, the lanterns filling up with water... Time for a beer"
😂😂😂
Watching from France. Going out myself Tues/Weds/Thurs. I'll be videoing myself sketching watercolours in the woods. Always a lot of prepping just for a couple of nights but well worth it.
Enjoyed the camp, Andy! Thanks for taking us along! ❤⛺️
Hi Andy, Great video I love that you laughed as the lantern was filling up with water lol, I love your easy personality nothing seems to get you down, Brilliant 👍
Love your videos. I'm way too old to camp now, so it's great to go along with you. Thank you.
There is no such thing as "too old to camp"! My grand father lived up to 92, kept going camping up until few weeks from his last good bye
Love hearing the birds in the background, wrens, chiffchaffs singing well!
I just love your channel. I’m not an outdoors camping person. I learn a lot from your channel. You do a great job on showing products.
Your right Terry
Very much enjoy your show over here in Alabama. Been binge watching while recovering from a car wreck. You’ve got a beautiful country!
Hope your recovery is speedy.
Sorry to hear that… hoping you get all better very soon.
We are lucky not to have to worry about predators or nasty small animals like snakes. And mostly crime is low, certainly way out in the countryside and away from city centres and estates.
These budget camp videos always give me a chuckle
Excellent. If it was me camping cooking my burgers would end up either in the fire or on the ground. You always make camping appear so easy. Thanks for your efforts,
I’d spend the entire time peeing! My old bladder can’t deal with the beer these days. Rather spoils the experience.
I hear you on the burger. In my case it would end up in the sand on the beach.
@@dees3179coffee doesn't help either, apart from caffeine being the enemy of sleep, its quite a strong diuretic. I never drink coffee after 5pm in order not to undermine my chances of a good night's sleep. Green tea keeps me hydrated and cocoa/hot chocolate with plenty of coffee whitener makes a creamy comfort drink to bed down with when I wrap myself in my quilt. Stay safe n keep warm n dry everyone, n thanx Andy 4 another excellent vid, as always there is plenty of useful knowledge to be gleaned from your "warts n'all" portrayals of camping, especially when the weather turns a bit English.
That is actually a very smartly designed tent 4 windy conditions. No flat sides to catch the wind so it just blows right off
The suspense you created of the storm coming was great! I could hardly wait for it to start.....lol
As always you put out another great video, here in Oklahoma, U.S., it's well known the Walmart brand of camping gear is not real durable. It's for the weekend fair weather campers. But it sounds like it held up ok. One of my favorite parts of your videos is your sign off at the end. It seems so sincere, warms my heart!
It seems, to me, that Ozark Trails equipment is hit or miss. I have to see it before I buy it, to check the seams, zippers and whatnot. I want to compare the wall tent they have to the one sold through Sportsman's Warehouse. It's a couple hundred dollars cheaper, but I want to know if it is lower quality or if I'd be paying for the brand name. I think that is the key to buying from walmart, always see if it is worth the savings.
“Oh no the latern is filling with water………eh, I’m gonna drink a beer” 😂😂😂😂 that made me laugh!!
Great to see camping on a budget is achievable and in storms,but the shelter from the trees must be welcome, and terrifying at the same time
"Come in she said I'll give you shelter from the storm" thanks Tomo
Gotta love an Andy video !!
Andy: "Oh no! The lantern's filling up with water! Oh well, I'll have another beer." 🤣🤣🤣
Watching Andy in the weather makes me homesick for NZ (Horizontal rain 😅😅). But instead I deal with the heat of Western Australia🥵🥵🥵😎❤️👍🇦🇺
You should move to Tasmania mate. Similar weather and scenery to the South Island and apparently us Tasmanians are like Kiwis with our heads kicked in 😂
These videos are wonderful. Andy is such a nice guy. I really would love to have a beer by the fire with him and swap some camp recipes. This looked like real fun!
I have bought 2 ozark instant tents and would not go with any other tents for spring..summer..fall. They are fantastic...Nebraska USA
Absolutely love these videos. Trying camping gear from different places. Thank you for trying weird gear so we don't have to. 👌
The egg didn't stick! Yaaaay! But damn the things you go through for us! Thanks Andy! 💯 💯 💯
Laughed soo hard when you said " oh no, the lantern is filling with water 💦" .... The way you said it was very funny and animated - gosh how i wish i could go camping with you. The laughs we would have, such fun. Oh well only in my dreams.
I could listen to you review things for hours, your voice combined with rain is so relaxing
"Oh no! The lantern is filling up with water! haha haha! Oh dear, I'm going to drink a beer."
You gotta love this guy. lol That's exactly what I'd do. Cheers, great video!
His face when he said that!😂
Them burgers would have been much better with onions my friend! 🙂
The Jedi of the woodlands. No one does vids as good as you
You're a brave man for camping in a forest during high winds, I love watching your videos
Always nice to watch your adventures. You must have a huge storage space for all your campinggear.
Nah he left the tags on, will return it the next day….. jokes, he prob gifts some of it to friends and family, and the bin 😉
Yeah, some stuff needs to go straight to the bin, but I hope he donates some “lightly used” items to organizations.
We watch your channel before bed. So relaxing!
I love this channel and the guy is such a great presenter. More power to you. 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Loved this. Pleased it didn’t leak.
You are a lucky man i would love to be in a tent in the rain ☔ i haven't done that for years 😊
I wonder if that's the thunder storm we was promised on Monday?
Well thanks to your temu video, I adjusted your camping methods to our Basecamp set up around our private allotment, ridge line, basic tarp, cooking gear, Dutch oven ready and even made our own ikea camping twig stove for a cuppa in the morning. Alas gone before I got going as hubby's already getting ready to build a shelter instead, fair enough though, cooking and firemaking still to be enjoyed and I'm sure the tarp will still come in handy at some point.
Still ploughing through your back catalogue videos and mates channels. Just wanting the rain to do one for a bit, if they got it right, we have it dry up in Notts for a few days, can't wait!
I appreciate how respectful you are of your surroundings; making sure the area isn't unduly damaged, left tidy etc.
Brilliant channel.
I've done a festival in one of those tents in the rain. Was surprised it made it. We camped at the top of the hill unlike some.
Proper grim
Hah, same. Also at a festival with that tent... only we got raging winds of 120+ kmph and it still survived.
@@shoelacedonkey 😂😂 good lad.
Thanks for making my favourite camping/nature videos I always end up watching one of your videos before going to bed, keep being the calm and comforting person you are i love your videos please never stop ❤❤❤
With all the rain we’ve had lately you are a very brave man Andy 😂
Every tent..an I mean every one of them..I use silicone waterproofing spray...it works in the worse conditions..a real life saver..I SWEAR BY THAT !!!
Your constant rain and lush beautiful campgrounds remind me of the Pacific NorthWest USA. Love your channel! These little challenges are fun to watch.
It’s the fly on the burger for me, chilling in the heat
More protein.
lol i was looking for your comment i seen it too
Watching from Ohio USA. I love your videos!! I learned so much. Sending love and light your way.
I love camping in a storm. As long as I have secured my tent properly to prevent getting wet! So gorgeous to watch the sky and the freshly washed plants. Thanks for sharing!
I have that exact same tent 😢 and yes it is easier to set up then any other tint i have ever owned. It is not ,I repeat not good in the rain. We found out the hard way. Everything was soaked. We did get ours on sale for $18 each it's an awesome tint for that price 😎
Yay! Thank you! I keep thinking about how campers should drop one corner or edge on canopies in rain! I feel better now.
Oh man i love the sound of rain and thunder. Thanks for the great content mate. Cheers from Montreal Canada 🇨🇦 😊
We always look forward to Wednesday evenings- what's Andy been up to and what's he cooking?!. That tent didn't do too badly, though the cooking pans definitely not up to your standard, but hey, it's great to see what can be done. Love the bluebells and the treea swaying in the wind....thanks for another fab vid Andy!!
I love these "try it out" videos
Excellent piece of filming. A very fair test of equipment too.😎☯️
Yes indeed the Ozark Popup Tent ⛺️ held up great in all that wind and 🌧 set up and take down appeared easy , as usual your Burgers and breakfast looked 👌 great , Always a pleasure to go camping via video, say hello to all the guys ,bout time for Simon and Mark and the others to have a camp out.
Take Care God Bless
I always enjoy your adventures. Im not good in wind. So I enjoy my couch.
You should do an experiment with all coleman gear. Back in the day walmart used all coleman gear. Not sure what happened to them. But I know they were really good. Please I must see that experiment. Also first time viewer been watching and going through all your vids for about 4 mnths now. Great stuff man.
I was hearing Rossini's "The Storm" from the William Tell Overture in my head as it started to rain. All you really needed was a domino mask and a couple of six shooters for the finale (you had the hat).
Great vid as ever, you should consider using a British army bivvy bag when testing new tents and in storms. You are guaranteed a dry nights sleep if the tent does leak or even if it blows away altogether for that matter. I used one in my latest camping video, cracking bit of kit.
Ooooooh I love a bit of 🌧️ on a camp !! Enjoyed 👍🌧️💋
I look forward to your videos mate . You never disappoint. Can't wait to get out there myself when spring starts warming up . Your a winter camper I'm a summer camper 😅.
Great video as usual Andy 😊 miss you camping with Simon…. Hope he’s ok, haven’t seen him lately
Can’t wait for your great excursions together. I love the different camps you’re trying out as well. You always keep it fun and interesting
Stay safe
Andy you is the best when it comes to camping wish I was camping with you it's so relaxing.
I actually like that pop up tent lol 😂 which just is not normally my thing lol .. sun to rain ☔️, in Cornwall we only got rain.. can’t wait to film my next camping video, great video buddy
Hi Andy.loving your channel.I can’t wait for you to light the fire & your cooking 🍳 before I get my beauty 💤 thank you so much. Uk
When you said the lantern was filling up with water! 🙂
Well done pollys ipa for the donation . 🌲🌲🍻
Fantastic video fantastic camp and camping fantastic food and cooking. Look forward to you next week. Keep the great work up your friend Luke from the UK. 🇬🇧
Another great Wednesday video from Andy thanks for sharing this amazing video like your new tent and camping gear thanks Andy
Best part of your videos is when you cook. It's always some yummy looking morsels. Good job ole boy.
Hi Andy Walmart tents some good. That's good it didn't leak to much. Trap good thing to have for big storms coming in. I like videos cheer's from London Ontario Canada
Absolutely gorgeous woods ❤
Yes! Can't wait to watch this later this evening!! Ty Andy!!
Good bit of rain ☔ love the smell pf a good spring rain 🌧️:) Great post this week 🫖🌷🧦👍🍻
Oh dear, I'm gonna drink a beer... This is ther perfect attitude to be happy when camping. 😂
The weather right now in Glasgow is exactly the same as you are experiencing in this video, right down to the 50moh wind. It's quite surreal 😂😂
Same in Motherwell 🏴. Bur still no bluebells or leaves yet😢
@@789stvI have heard 'Spring' arrives in the North of Scotland basically 6 weeks after South of England. It will be May for our bluebells, unless you are Young At Heart 😉.
@@macelven 😂
Should come to Ireland for a camping trip rains 24/7 here you’d love it
lovely seeing the bluebells out now
I really enjoy watching your show Andy. I consider you a gentlemen camper, something about your style and you are very knowledgeable. Your show relaxes me....Are you a chef in real life? Anyway great job, I really appreciate you. Kind regards, Sheryl...and hands down you are the 'best' wood splitter and fire starter. Also I trust your reviews.
Splendid Andy Old Chap! ♨️
Another great video Andy thank you
