Вставка
- Опубліковано 5 жов 2024
- This has been a long time coming, finally after recovering from a sprained ankle I can get back out into the woodlands for a wild camp.
In this video I'm looking forward to trying out a French army ridge tent otherwise known as the F2 Oh and a nice steak to top it all off👍🏻
It's a real pleasure to have you join me, I do hope you enjoy watching.
Here's wishing you all the very best that life has to offer.

Hi Paul, thanks mate I was like a caged Bird set free! 👍🏻😃👍🏻
Thank you very much for watching

All the very best
Mike
Hi mate, thanks my friend👍🏻....My son suggested I ought to put the clip in lol. Ah yes always best to seam seal. Thought so, crazy just how big the holes are in the bug netting isn't it. Oh no so I take it you got devoured by midges then...😲
Thank you very much for watching
All the very best

@Owen Lee Hi Owen, that was my first outing in the tent, there were a couple of light showers but nothing heavy enough to tell if it's fully waterproof. The material is waterproof as it's nylon, if it's going to leak it'll be where the fabric is joined (stitched) I'm going to seam seal mine to make sure. All I can do is recommend you seam seal yours also my friend👍🏻
Thank you for asking advise Owen, I hope I've been of some help to you.
Thank you very much for watching
Have a lovely evening
🌳🌳🌳🕊🌳🌳🌳
All the very best
Mike
Welcome Owen, I use clear silicon sealant and white spirits...I do a 50/50 mix of both and it's just right.👍🏻
Take care mate

Another brilliant video Mike, what a lovely enchanting wood with all those bluebells, an absolute pleasure to watch as always, could listen to those birds all day long, also enjoyed your spiderman clip lol take care my friend. Vic
Hi Vic, thank you mate you're a top bloke for being so kind👍😊👍💎🌳🌳🌳
Always magical with the bluebells, not only the colour but their lilly like scent. When they are in flower it's a sign that the mozzy's are out and about for blood heheh!
Ah yeah mate wonderful birdsong in nature's cathedral.🌳🌳🕊🕊🌳🌳
Oh yes, heheh I definitely shall not be rushing round and forgetting I've got a heavy pack on my back whilst attempting (and failing lol) acrobatics 🤪😁😂
Glad you enjoyed watching Vic, much appreciated.
Hope your day is a good one
Mike
One of the better ones on youtube,great vid,subbed to your channel,very natural character,loved your vid on the backwoods bungalow

Mate thankyou so much for the kind words and the appreciation of the work done on your spoon so glad you like it and and the extra card knife n fork 🍴 hopefully they will all come in handy for you in future
Yet again great video that looked like the mot perfect spot there for a camp out and steak 🥩 sandwich mmm tent looks brilliant and roomy aswell The stove looks wicked I’ll be trying to look into that myself as duel fuel and right up my street but hey still trying to get myself a firebox nano aswell lol so many to choose from though
Anyway mike I’m glad ur feeling better and ur back out enjoying nature and making vids doing the things that make you smile inside all the best mate
Ps thanks for the mention and shoutout for my channel n Instagram appreciate that mate
Hi Paul, mate it's a real pleasure believe me👍🏻😊👍🏻🌳🌳🌳A beautiful gift handcrafted by yourself, a craftsman of superb quality and skill.
I didn't take it with me on the day as I'd never forgive myself if I broke it. So instead it's here at home on display 👍🏻
Hey mate I'm super pleased you enjoyed the vid and the shout out, I'm still at a loss for words to how kind a thing that was to do....I thank you again

Hi Maria, hey you're most welcome I'm pleased you like it 🤗Thank you very much. Thanks yeah it's surprising just how long it's taken to heal🤕🤣 But all is good within the woods🌳🌳👍🏻🌳🌳
Thank you for watching and you're lovely comments Maria 👍🏻😊👍🏻
Here's wishing you a great weekend
🌳🌳🌳🕊🌳🌳🌳
All the very best

@@BlackCountryWoodsman my question is cuz am curious...the place u go out to camp are there any wild animals ? and has people seen you there were u camp? ...thank u
Hi Maria, it's not too bad here in England for wild animals...As in animals that could be a possible threat. Badgers-foxes -roe deer-grey squirrels- bats and adders are just a few that live in our woodlands.
I'm always on private land and not supposed to be there Maria, I do no harm and leave the woodlands as if I'd never been. Yes Ive been seen a couple of times through the years the one time through me rushing and using equipment that didn't blend into those particular woodlands, but nothing bad has ever happen. Infact one of the times I was seen I met two really nice people mother and daughter they happened to be (daughter) into wild camping👍🏻We keep intouch to this day lovely people👍🏻🌳🌳🌳😊😊🌳🌳🌳
I do hope that answers your question Maria, great talking to you
Take care🌳🌳🌳🕊🌳🌳🌳
Mike
@@BlackCountryWoodsman thank you sir for your response sorry for the silly questions but I do get curious ... never been out of my own country so I do get to wonder how it ls we're you camp if it's dangerous like people or animals ...as for me a tick or a spider would be enough too scare me lol 😂😂 😂
Hi Maria, not a silly questions at all.....Luckily I'm not scared of insects etc, it's heights that bother me Heheh!
Spiders over here are mostly non threatening, but ticks are vile what with them carrying lymes disease.
Take care🌳🌳🌳🕊🌳🌳🌳
Diggin the tent not to mention the scenery, Its spectacular! Thank you for sharing.
Hi James, thank you very much 🤗 The F2 is a great two man tent, ideally for one..Really well made and at a good price, can't go wrong really. I think it's definately worth seam sealing it to guarantee no leaks in torrential weather. Glad you liked the bluebells, wow their scent was amazing and filled the woodland.
Thank you very much for watching James
Have a good day
🌳🌳🌳🕊🌳🌳
All the very best
Mike
Great stuff again Mike but now I want another bloody tent...
Hi Carl, all this military surplus it's an addiction! It really is! 👍🏻🤣👍🏻🏕🌳🌳
Great to see you back. I hope you continue to heal. Thanks for sharing
Hi Patrick, 👋🏻😊🌳🌳🌳
Thanks my friend🤗 Hey it's surprised me just how long it's taken to heal, normally I'm pretty quick to recover but not this time. Hope you are ok and life is treating you well👍🏻
Thank you very much for watching and such a lovely comment 🤗
Have a great day Patrick
All the very best

In the bluebell woods, another great video and you really do capture the peace and tranquility. I can see why you enjoy it so much! Sorry to see the fall when you jumped and please don't take risks when you're on your own. Don't take risks! And keep enjoying the treks.
Hi Nigel, ah thank you mate very kind of you..Nothing more relaxing that being in some peaceful woodlands is there.
Ah yes that fall of mine heheh, I was late and rushing with no thought of that heavy pack on my back🤪...I certainly won't be getting up to those antics again, thank you for being concerned and so very kind Nigel

Black Country Woodsman The bluebells looked lovely, great place to set up camp and chill out. I’m in poor health at the moment with a pretty rubbish illness that really makes me down at times. I’ve enjoyed just losing myself in your videos and enjoying them, I’ve only just followed you in the last few days so I’ve got plenty of videos to get through. I admire you for getting out and doing what you enjoy! I’ll be hopefully getting out again if my health improves. Keep up the good work! 😊
Black Country Woodsman I just saw that you subscribed to my channel, that’s really kind. 😊
Ha Ha nice slow mo of you falling . hope you was ok after that tumble
Hi Simon, heheh! Glad you enjoyed my failed attempt at being spiderman😂😉
Was in such a rush that day and not thinking about that heavy pack on my back Haha! Never again! 🤪👍
Thank you for watching
All the very best
Mike
This tent was a nightmare when stationed in places with high humidity like Guyane. The mesh was never designed to stop tiny bugs. Just to provide a structure for the vents. Used to buy our own personal bug nets and rig them inside with tape and a wire.
Great days!
Hi there, ah lovely to hear from someone that used this whilst in the military👍🏻😊 Thank you very much for sharing your thoughts on the tent and knowledge. Thank you Wayne👍🏻
Thank you very much for watching
Have a great weekend

Awesome, great choice my friend....Enjoy!

Excellent video . I was looking for reviews on the French army f2 tent. Watched loads but your video was soo relaxing and what you said was inspiring. Iam now looking forward to my f2 tent in the woods. Take care and God bless.
Hi Lee, thanks mate I appreciate you watching, nice to hear it chilled you out 🤗
Love the F2 and F1 really good tents that are super value, I guess as time goes on these tents are going to get rarer and far more costly.
Thanks again Lee, lovely of you to comment.
Hey let me know how you get on with your F2 please
Take care
🌳🌳🌳🕊🌳🌳🌳
Mike
@@BlackCountryWoodsman will do take care.
Hey Michael, some lovely woods there. The pain from a twisted ankle is terrible, I know too well, glad you are seeing the funny side. x
Hi Jules, oh yes it's just how long it takes to heal that's got me...Im usually pretty quick to get over things but wow not this lol.
How are you doing Jules? Are things better for you now?
Thank you very much for watching

Take care🤗

@@BlackCountryWoodsman Twisted ankles take ages to heal, I thought mine was ok until I just hit the deck in a field lol. So so.. Ive got to go to an eating disorder clinic, not sure if its one, they seem to think so. x
@@JuliaHoustonebikeTouring Hi Jules, yeah I've never known anything like this for taking so long to heal! I guess it's because we're on and off our feet all day no matter what our lifestyles may be.
Well it's good to hear that you're well on the way to being ok again Jules👍🏻
Hope you're enjoying this weather.
Mike
@@BlackCountryWoodsman Im coming down your neck of the woods friday West Midlands hospital Belle Vale.
Maaan Dowwwwnnnnn,I shouldn't laugh but I did, luckily just a sprain 😎 great location and a brilliant tent,mines the canvas one little bit heavier but worth it I reckon,best £25 I've spent for a long time,nice one Mike all the best 👍🙂
Hi Phil, Heheh! "Man down" that takes me back to playing call of duty modern warfare 2 years ago👍🏻I'm glad you laughed, sometimes it's just good to laugh at ourselves as nowadays people seem to take themselves way to seriously. We all do stupid things, especially me! Heheheh👍🏻🤣👍🏻🌳🌳
Oh yes the F1 I was going to get one but got the F2 on the toss of a coin Tbh. Both are really good tents, knowing me I'll end up with an F1 also 🌳🌳🌳👍🏻😃👍🏻🌳🌳🌳
Lovely to hear from you Phil, and thank you so much for watching and your super comment🤗

great to see you out again Michael such a beautiful woodland with the Bluebells, thats an awesome tent and surprisingly spacious that was an amazing looking steak, but i really like that fleece jacket any info on it...atvb
heye hey John! hows things mate? Forgot to tell you I gave you and the FB group a shout out on my last wildcamp video! :)
@@BushmanAOD very much appreciated my friend thank you
Lovely peaceful woodland and the bluebells are spectacular. Stress therapy to be sure. I appreciate how it must feel. Many memories of work related stress and how the great outdoors can abate that. Here's to that. Tent looks for the most part adequate. Your ankle adventure is anything but graceful...lol...that's how some of learn. Enjoyed this presentation; thank you!
Hi Frank, it was lovely to get out and especially in amongst those bluebells. Yes work seems to bring out the worst in many people, such a shame. Ah you think along the same lines as I do and the woodlands and countryside are medicinal to the unavoidables in life👍🏻
Heheh! My ankle is ok now thank you, I'm amazed at just how long it's taken to heal! Yup believe me that I certainly won't be attempting any acrobatics ever again👍🏻🤣👍🏻
Super pleased you enjoyed watching Frank, lovely words thank you...🤗🌳🌳🌳

Hi, nice to see you out again! Awesome video, you captured the bluebells amazingly, I could almost smell them without smell-o-vision by the end haha. Loved the camera panning from the treetpops to the floor to reveal the bluebells in the morning.
I caught some of this video when it first came out, but couldnt finish it right away and now finally got some time to sit down and just watch it properly.
Wow that fall looked painful especially with that pack on your back to add to the impact. I could swear I heard the crunch of your ankle (or possibly and hopefully just a branch) as your body hit the floor. Im glad you have recovered enough to get out again and amazed that you timed it perfectly for the bluebells.
Also thanks for the detailed look at the tent and stove. I think I liked those mesh side windows the most on that tent, a genius feature. After trying tarp camping I really do wish more tents came with some sort of window. The stove looks pretty cool, especially like the fact that you can burn wood in it, does look like I would prefer it to be a bit taller though - I wonder if they would stack up well.
Haha when you were making that drink, for a second i thought you were about to have a hot steradent drink, was thinking that is a new idea.
Hope all is going well and you manage to get loads of trips in this summer.
Hi there,
Aw thank you very much🤗 Oh yes a woodland filled with beautiful bluebells is wonderful on the eyes and nose👍🏻😊
Ah heheh yes thats my ankle you can hear, well I remember the fall and right at the time of impact I feel the pain and right at the same time that snapping sound. Hahaha! I think my ankle has developed a weakness there after my stupidity....I shall never try that again I can assure you my friend 😃
Ah thanks, yes its a great tent and a real bargain for the money, people have had condensation issues with these but I've yet to.
Urgh heheh! Hot sterident now there's a drink with a fizz! Can only imagine just how vile that would be...
Yes the stove is superb and I think I personally prefer it over the trangia triangle👍🏻 Ah cool to hear your opinion on it mate, I like the the way its short'ish because I feel its more stable that way. Love your opinion about it'd be cool to stack it higher, goes to show we all have our own ways and views✌🏻
Thank you very much for watching and your kind words are very much appreciated
Have a super day
🌳🌳🌳🕊🌳🌳🌳
All the very best
Mike
@@BlackCountryWoodsman Oh damn I was really hoping it was a branch, though it did sound like a joint noise somehow. Well hopefully the weakness you are feeling in it is not permenant and will heal back to perfect in time.
Thanks for more details on the tent and stove, I can see how the stove is perfectly tall for the fuel burners you use though.
Haha I think it was just the way you introduced the sterident container, (think it was "Ive got my sterident bottle here" or something like that, just muddled me up for a second haha) soon as logic kicked back in I was pretty sure that it was not the plan.
Thanks for the great wishes, I hope youre having a super day yourself!
Great slab of steak that bud .👍👍 great video
Hi Richard, oh yes my friend it was delicious! I'm not usually the biggest fan of steak, but that really was very tasty indeed
Thank you mate, really appreciated🤗🌳🌳
Hope you had a nice weekend

Mike, thanks for sharing this fantastic overnight in these wonderful woods. Your quality filming and gentle, inciteful chat had me right there with you mate. For a nature fanatic who can only manage the odd trip to my local park this was a great way to experience spring time in the woods. Once again you have added to my motivation to get fully fit and back out again. Your wise words "health is true wealth" could not be more relevant to me and the reason why every moment of every day is so valuable. I'm so glad you have made such a good recovery after your spectacular fall! And top marks for sharing it!! Atvb, Michael
Hi Michael,
Aw thank you so much my friend that's lovely of you🤗
Yes health is everything and all the other things pale in significance. It's so lovely to see you getting better Mike, yes if anyone knows about health is true wealth it's you👍🏻 You were on my mind quite a bit throughout this video and I know you know that🤗🌳🌳🌳🌳
Even though I didn't mention you directly (I did in the un-edit version) the whole vid was made with you in mind...The zest for life and everything awaking from it's sleep...The drive for life and it's continual circle...Never ending.. Strength to strength...You 👍🏻
I take my hat off to you and I know I've said it before....You are welcome whenever to suit you to camp together, I'll treat us to a nice steak n a good old cuppa.
Thank you very much for watching you wonderful man 🤗🌳🌳🌳
All the very best x

Mike
Hi great video that steak made me hungry glad to see you out again , take it easy on that ankle I dislocated my knee years ago and that took ages to heal and still plays up from time to time just when you least expect it
Look forward to your next outing like many have said like the hoodie 👍
Hi Mark, thank you my friend very kind of you🤗🌳🌳🌳The steak was really nice but that bread...Well I'm still digesting that Heheh! 😲🤣
Ouch sorry to hear you hurt your knee Mark, yes it's amazing just how long this ankle is taking to heal fully like your knee. Sounds like some injuries are never fully healed and occasionally stress or all manner of things can make them play up. 👍🏻🤕👍🏻
Thank you Mark lovely of you mate 🤗
The hoodie is a cheapo off Amazon, Tbh it's a few months old but looks a few years lol, it's fine for wild camping though.
Hey hope your evenings a good one

🤣🤣just got to the fall, your pride is truly dented there mate! Lol. Spiderman has no worries yet I think.
Hi matey, Heheh gotta be able to laugh at ourselves now and again👍🏻 Yeah but spidey doesn't have to do it with half his house contents on his back! 😎😉😂 ...Damn right mate it's took like what seems forever to stop limping, never again.

My favourite time of year Mike and this wonderful epic encapsulated everything that I love about it...everything is fresh, born again, renewed. After your ankle ordeal this is the best therapy, a recharge courtesy of the honesty of nature...free of charge. Thank you as always for sharing your heart and soul with us Mike. Best wishes. Paul 😊

That's a proper Navy's sarnie there Geeza.. No wonder you fell after eating all that 😂
Hi There! Heheheh! I certainly do like my food👍🏻😀👍🏻Its a wonder I didn't smash a hole in the woodland floor!😉
Have a good un
Oh hey dude, I'm watching this vid, guess why? I also bought one of these but I went for the F1 which is canvas I believe.
Also, went out a week ago in the Dutch tent I just got, it rained almost all night which was great! yes, unfortunately I got the older version of the dutch tent so the zips aren't covered. Despite all the rain the only ingress was in two of the corners and both corners were a bit wonky due to first time setting up and it was getting dark - plus I had a 8hour British ORP ration to film so it was rushed a bit... but there was no dripping from anywhere in the roof onto my sleeping bag, I was fine.
My advice to all these guys who say that the dutch tent is crap is that they should keep them for inner woodland camping and not exposed / meadow camping, as for me, if the rain comes from above only and not sideways then there's no problem, but as you say, some of them probably bought the lower grade ones then expecting miraculous quality.
Was the french tent a very new purchase? Any reason why you haven't had / uploaded a camp using it again?
Cheers man
chris
Glad your on the mend mate. Lovely bit of woodland you found there. Interesting looking little tent too. Cheers for the new video.
Hi Jason, ah thank you my friend just surprised at how long a sprained ankle can take to heal...Wow! 😲😃I shall certainly not be attempting any stunt moves ever again, especially with a fully loaded pack on my back Heheh! 🌳🌳🌳👍🏻😂👍🏻🌳🌳🌳

Hey Mike, long time no speak, glad you're back out and about and on the mend, cool tent, I got a tick the other day, may of put it on Instagram can't remember, certainly put it on FB, frigging hurt when my Son took it out, I'm defo getting a tick remover as I couldn't do it myself with tweezers as awkward angle... that was half a cow not a steak! Man, I'd be dead if I ate all that bread... carbs of doom. DD Jura 2 😁. Lee
Just dab some alcohol or surgical spirit on the tick and it will loosen up its headlock in your skin. You don't really need tweezers or those tick removers as it will release easily on its own accord once it gets a taste of the fluid and you can pull it out with your fingers albeit, wash your hands after the event and kill the bloody tick by burning, crucifying or stomping, don't flush it down the loo, it will come back to bite you another time. I hate the bloody things and with 6 dogs, I'm removing them on a daily basis.
@@RobertsBulgaria Good tip cheers
@@RobertsBulgaria I've always used a blob of vaseline to get rid of ticks but gonna try alcohol next time (excuse to carry more alcohol lol)
@@justvin7214 First tick I got was on the inside of my upper thigh, I was in a Bulgarian Hotel and all I had was Aftershave. It worked a treat.
Hi Lee, yeah it's been a while hasn't it fella...Thank you that's very kind of you, I guess it's inevitable that we shall get a tick now and again, I've always been lucky or I just ain't seen one on me lol. The best and safest of ways to remove a tick is not to smother it in lotions etc, as this makes the tick expell (puke) into your blood stream and high chances of getting lymes. The twister is quick and removes all the tick including it's mouth parts.

So grand to see you out again Mike, you certainly cheered up an already cheerful woodland environment with you Para jump training, ouch, how terribly painful, glad youth are well again, a really nice film bud and thanks for the demo on French tent which I nearly bought last week for my mountain expedition mid June, but yes it good for summer camping and fairly light. Admire your sensitivity towards the Forrest floor and the way you respect the woods. Keep going mate and all the best. Harry
Hi Harry,
Thank you very much my friend...Heheh my para jump training certainly got the better of me, me rushing and not thinking messed me up for weeks! Heheh😂

Great to see your ankle is good enough to get back out there, especially in time not to miss the bluebells. Beautiful woodland and birdsong.
If the mesh on the tent does become a problem you can buy Noseeum mesh and replace the large mesh with that.
Thanks for sharing and look forward to the next one Mike. ATVB
Hi Vin, thank you my friend🤗Oh yes those bluebells are wonderful aren't they, not only how they look but their scent fills the woodland👍🏻My ankles pretty much recovered thank you👍🏻😊

yes my friend aren't they so beautiful but sadly blink and those bluebells are gone. Super I hope you got out amongst them, that scent they fill the woodlands with is simply wonderful. Ah superb, mushroom foraging is great fun I've not done that in a while...Hope you had a bountiful find 👍🏻🌳🌳🌳

Blends in really well that tent, impressive; such a beautiful location with those bluebells; that looked like a quality steak 👍 nice one enjoyed watching 👌
Hi Gillian, I was impressed by the tent and the only issue is the bug netting could do with being a little finer to stop midges eating folk alive Heheh 😃 If you live in a midge free area then you can't go wrong.
Yes wow the bluebells look and smell divine, filling the woodlands with their wonderful scent🤗🌳🌳🌳🌳Hey thanks, the steak was really nice but I'm still digesting that bread! 👍🏻🤣👍🏻

Thank you my friend, that's kind of you to say...Its taken ages for my ankle to heal, was lovely to finally get out again👍🏻

Well you’ve done it again Mike, Ive now gotta get the french F2. It looked very nice! Really glad to see you back on your feet after the fall, now if you would have just left it as you described that would have been fine and I’d have felt for you but you had to show it didn’t you lol the slow motion just did it for me I nearly fell off my chair haha.
As always a great relaxing camp to watch. Cheers bud, Ant 👍
Hi Ant, Heheh! 😂Yes mate the tent is well made with quality materials that should last for years, plus Its a good price. Just make sure to seam seal it, I've yet to do mine mate👍🏻

Hi Toni, thank you so much 🤗 Heheh! Is this the one he pee's up also? Or does he do it to all your tents? 👍🏻😃👍🏻
Ah thanks Toni, yeah was a really saft thing to do...Rushing and not thinking, totally forgot about the fully loaded pack on my back! Dear oh dear lol...Whats got me is the fact at just how long it's taken for the ankle to heal..Must be my age! 👍🏻🤣👍🏻

Just became aware of your channel. Glad I found it. Q for you. How do you set up the cooking "table" to the tree? Nice touch.. Looking forward to checking out all your vids.
Hi there, thank you very much😊👍🏻
The idea is an old one, all you do is find a decent branch (cut it to size)and sharpen both ends to a point- one of the sharpened ends you stab into the ground and the other fits in the end of the table that furthest away from the tree (where the 3rd hole is) There if done correctly the table should be very sturdy and level.
Thank you for watching, hope you enjoyed my other vids too

BLUEBELLS! My favourite ❤ I think we *can* believe how happy you are to be out again :) Might be a good idea for you to get a pair of trekking poles for walking. Will put less strain on your newly healing ankle... Just a thought anyway. Anyway ill shut up and watch the rest of yer vid. Great to see you out and about again.
Hi Caroline,
Oh believe me I was ecstatic just a shame it's all over so quickly. Yes the bluebells are so beautiful, especially with the ferns unraveling between them.....and as for the scent...Wow!
Thank you that's a really good and kind idea Caroline, I'm pretty much healed now and believe me I shall never attempt anything like that again with a full pack on my back!...👍🏻🤕👍🏻🤣🌳🌳

Haha! I thought I was the saft bugger when I did my ribs in trying to climb a wall I’d climbed many times before, only with a full pack on. Out of action for over a month too. It’s the pack what did for ya I reckon mate, we underestimate it. I mean neither of us would try to do what we did when we got injured if we were giving a toddler a piggy back would we? Be madness. We live and learn... 😂. Anyway, as ever, a real treat this vid Mike, loved every minute. And I do like the look of that tent despite the shortcomings. It fits in your vid perfectly, ace choice 👌.
