Andy mate, my brother, Richard Minto, loved your channel, he sadly passed away a week ago, he was paralysed for 4 years before his passing, but before his passion was bushcraft, and all outdoor activities . He would walk the cairngorm mountains up here in Scotland for fun before his incident, keep going with your channel please xx
May his memory be a blessing to you🎆
RIP, Richard Minto.
RIP Richard x
My Condolence to you your family and friends may he R.I.P and Rise in Glory 🙏🙏
Rip!
Love the way you say "Bobs Your Uncle" My late father always used that line when I was growing up. He even called me Bobby, he was Born and raised in the UK then came to South Africa. Now I'm trying to get my family over to the UK.
You are the Bob Ross of camping. It's like ASMR
I really don't watch these for the camping things, I watch because Andy's voice is so calming.
I Agree. Hes my sleep aid in a good way 👍
Thank you :)
Facts
Same, I like having him in the background while I'm working or doing housework
Do you have a link for that heater please
I'm recovering from heart surgery. Your videos are helping me to relax.
While I'm not up to camping yet, I will be making a campfire on Saturday night.
I came to Andy's channel by mistake and now I just can't stop watching his great videos. His voice does have a hypnotic calming effect. And his cooking is adventurous for the equipment he has most people do t even do these meals in a full kitchen. Hello has inspired me to start camping again, years ago I did the duke of Edinburgh scheme and we used to use the old mk10 bright orange tents that weighed a lot. Keep up the great videos Andy ❤
I don't like camping and I've tried to like camping. But I like these videos because Andy is having so much fun camping. He's able to relax which I find to be relaxing. So I like watching a person camp that enjoys camping. I know it sounds weird but watching camping is completely different than camping.
Totally not weird! I am the same way. I HATE camping, and yet I find these videos so soothing and relaxing!
Same here. Love the idea 💡 . Hate the reality of camping. Yet he makes you feel that it can be enjoyable.
It's nice to know that I'm not the only person who watch Andy's videos while I'm in some sort of pain (fever, headache or anything.)
The combination of camping, cooking and banter is brilliant. Love your work Andy, keep them coming!
"She's a long boy"! Brilliant, and as thoroughly enjoyable as ever, thank you.
I met a girl who was a long boy once. Wild night, but I'm not telling my buddies about him.
I watch Andy's videos at bedtime. Andy's voice
Is relaxing and all that nature is just so beautiful. Especially under the stars. I'm hooked.😊
That's EXACTLY what I do too! 😊 So nice for finishing off the day. 🙏💖🇰🇾
true
Same!!
Likewise! I used to listen to scary stories but it's not exactly something "nice" to fall asleep to!
SAME!!!! 😮 It's interesting but relaxing at the same time!!!!! I love camping but sadly my partner hates it and it can be difficult to camp alone when you are a woman 😢
Cheers from TX. Glad to see a Brit that likes Mexican food as much as I do!
There is no way in hell that, that tent is new or made of good quality. Once you first stepped into it all we could see is day light coming thru the seems and what appeared to be repairs in holes and missing thread. Good luck my friend, stay safe.
I always like how Andy enjoys his tea.....pure bliss 😊
Northern Ontario Canada here. We use these tents extensively on the lake in the winter. Most people use portable propane heaters in these tents. I have an insulated one and recently have been running a small wood stove. Propane produces a lot of moisture which then freezes on the walls of the tent. Wood stoves or the portable diesel air heaters are the way to go. Cheers Andy, great vid as always!
I did see the insulated ones when getting this but was a bit overkill for this haha. Cheers
Southern Okanagan BC Canada here. Yes, I know we have a tropical climate down here😂. But I totally agree get the tent insulation and use a wood stove. Happy fishing, buddy.
Hey Andy! Glad to see a new video. I think the reason you can see through the seams is because it's not important when the lake is frozen and it's too cold to rain. And a rain fly would be nice on dry land in the summer 😅 camp on , old chap.
Is that georgetown
Have seen Steve and Crazy Neighbour out on the ice in one.
That man came outta the corner when you opened the first beer , gave me the Willie’s for a sec…😂🤣🇺🇸
Same here
That man 😂 George Clinton
It kinda gave me a mini jump scare. I wasn't expecting it lol
@@JJ-mh8ejTop man, George Clinton.
Bahaha! I'm glad it wasn't just me! 😳
Oh my the continuity in the shots 1:28 - 2:35 is so amazing!
Dear Andy, your camping videos are my source of peace when my thoughts are loud. I cannot sleep without watching/listening to your videos. ❤❤ The audios and your voice are really calming for me.
That opening shot through the tent. Wow.
As a Canadian who’s done his fair share of ice fishing in cold weather, -25/30 degrees ( in the prairies). Add the wind and it gets extremely cold. These tents are designed more so to protect one from the wind which is your real enemy on the ice. Having an interior heater is a nice luxury.
Hello from Canada 🇨🇦
Love how inventive you are when cooking but I really love how much you enjoy eating the food you cook. Your ritual hot chocolate at the end and your love of all things chocolate always puts a smile on my face.
Enjoy your videos , keep them coming.
I have fibromyalgia a pain disorder, and now I can hardly walk. Your channel makes it feel like
Im out camping with my husband, who is clearly your long lost brother. Love watching the new tents and fires. And your voice is soothing and relaxing. I wake up in the night bc of pain and watch your videos, and it helps me to chill a bit and think about the woods and wild camping. Thank u so much x
I’m sorry you have Fibromyalgia, I do too, I’m finally getting old enough that I can tell people I’ve retired, when I was younger I developed fibro literally out of no where. Turns out it was most likely caused by statin cholesterol medication, just like dementia the medical community wants to blame everything but themselves. I love watching nomad and camping videos, maybe one day I will be able to camp again, my husband is handicapped which he always has been, it wasn’t ever a problem because what he can’t do, I can… or could. Poor guy really got the short end of the stick, I was supposed to be his help mate, I adore him, but he’s done so much for me instead. I am finding some help from magnesium glycinate 400-800 mg at bedtime, really helps with restless leg syndrome, and I fall asleep a little easier too. I just learned today about B1, thiamine so I am looking into adding that to my supplements. Best wishes fibro warrior!
Please look into Dr Ken Berry and carnivore diet against a lot of diseases, also like fybromyalgia, arthritis etc.
I second the motion to look into Dr. Ken Berry.
I have ALS so I can sympathize . I don’t tent camp anymore but i love bushcraft and outdoor camping, did it since i was a child with my family. Great memories, this channel makes me wish for those days again! Cheers everyone
@@valerief1231 look into benfo-thiamine instead, better absorption in the body. Against to much pain I use cbd + thc. Let nature and good organic food be our healing. If moving like walking or yoga is too much, look into Qigong (I like Holden-7 minutes of magic etc. best.) Nature is southing like music. Camping, or just lying under the canopy..and listen to the wind is the best gift to ourselves. That's why we love these videos so much. And the voice ofcourse. A voice that should read us little bedtimes stories.. Hinthint❤️
Seeing the orange glow of the wiremesh dome reminds me of my childhood, there were all manner of paraffin heaters used to stave off hypothermia.
Nice tent, but not for rainy weather. I love the way you make the best of everything.
❤
Thanks for the update on Simon.
Have missed him.
Wish you both well.
❤
I am normally here for the recipes, but I do like to see how you try out so many weird tents! Thank you for the lovely content time after time.
I look at those pop out tents sometimes, you see them a lot on the asian camping channels. I like the idea of them. I don’t like them not having a floor. I also don’t like how long they are packed down, or them not having bug screens. Looking at it, it seems i only like the pop out part! 😂.
Officially seen someone using my ice hut as a tent. Bro i love you. I have to say it is taller and better than a tent for heat.
Just had my dinner, now it’s time to sit back with a cuppa and relax with Andy my outdoor hero.
I really appreciate the effort put in with the camera work.
I just found your channel on a whim, and like hundreds have said before me: your videos are so relaxing. It's almost meditative to hear nature, the chopping of wood, the sizzling of food. And not in some ASMR way; it's more... zen? IDK, it really tickles some primordial nerve in my brain.
That tent may not be a winner but the heater certainly seemed to be! The tent seemed quite comfortable size wise but yes, it seemed to have been used a LOT. Always nice to see you out and about. I must say that I have a mental picture of you with a normal sized house and a GIANT warehouse full of all the gear. LOL. Have a great weekend.
I watch these videos at night to relax and fall asleep. Thanks for the awesome content
That heater you using brings back childhood memories
A Tilley lamp , complete with smell -- and moths !
Aladdin paraffin heaters. Grandparents had one in their unheated downstairs toilet that hung out between the house and shed. The smell of that heater!
Link to the heater/stove/lamp
@@charinajohansson3890
Linwin kerosene heater/stove
I'm getting vibes of the Rippingilles "Fyrside" we had at home on bath night!
We use those tents all the time to go ice fishing on the lake in winter, they are not meant to be rain or waterproof, they are meant to stop the freezing wind and snow. We use a stovepipe jacket in place of one of the velcro windows and a small wood stove inside the tent.
Apart from no wind and no rain. You also need no bugs, and ,despite being an ice tent, no ice!
🤣
At least, this tent is potatoe proofed
i was a back packer camper so it seems mad all the kit youve got,you must have a room full of stuff,with all the new things you try out, theres something magical about camping im in my 60s now,so dont do that much now, but i can still enjoy your adventures,brings back lots of good memories,of all my crazy odd adventures,,keep on keeping on my brother xxx
I just want you to know that you bring a sense of joy to my life. Living in a studio in a city, I don't have space for camping gear. So I go camping with you :3
Modern take on an old favourite. When I was a kid paraffin heaters, a bit like that, were everywhere. And the pump up light versions. We used them in the house. In the outdoor toilet. Night fishing. Most places you wanted heat. The old style had feet on the top. Like a gas stove. And were effective cookers. We never drained them. Just wedge them in the car and go. Spent many a night cuddling one on the Admiralty Pier Dover. Supposedly Cod fishing. Mostly feeding the fish. The wick on that new one is weird. And of course, we used Esso blue. Otherwise the smoke got in your eyes.
Hello Andy😊. If you kept this tent, you can use clear nail polish on the seams and other areas to seal. You'll probably have to do the seams and such with 2 coats and it should be good. I have done this myself and it has worked. Just keep the polish in your camping gear in case you need it for other things.
My family has been dying to go camping. It's still cold here in the mountains where we live. Your videos are really helping these free souls through the cold months, I'll say that. Thank you.
I've only just got on to your channel I used to go camping as a child with my Family many years ago l have enjoyed watching your videos so keep up the good work
In the 1970s, our family had a kerosine heater. The smell was unique, and it lit up pretty easily. Had the same wick as what you were using lol.
You could always toss a tarp over your ice tent shelter to take care of any rain--Just a thought. It also rains in the winter... I like the tent itself, plus, if you get a chance to go ice fishing, you already will have an ice tent to shelter you from cold winds and/or rain. 😁❤👍👍👍👍👍
Hey my wife and i have been binging your content all day. Love that you show the cooking. It def gives us some ideas and i love the bushcrafting as well.
We used this tent in an ice fishing trip in Nunavut May 2023. I was on sentry watch to make sure the little kids didn't play with the stove, and also to keep sto e going in -25c
I'm so glad that I found your channel! It helps my anxiety, it calms me and takes my brain from "anxiety mode"
Thank you for sharing these moments with us 🤍
Stay warm and drink water haha
I definitely love the idea of a tent like this. I'm of an age now that being able to stand up in me tent is invaluable, and most 2/3 man pop-ups or domes aren't even close to tall enough. I absolutely need waterproof, and a fair degree of windproof is also quite handy. I'd definitely like to see more reviews of similar tents, just maybe a bit more 'premium'.
This eBay tent looked like a direct copy of my Gazelle T4 hub tent. It’s not cheap, but sometimes you get what you pay for…I was laughing seeing all the build quality issues of the eBay model.
Dont buy Vevor they dont stand behind their crappy products
We use those tents mostly to break the wind and cut down on ambient light so that we can see what’s under the ice better. It’s usually way too cold to rain. Water tightness isn’t really an issue.
Wow! I am loving these tents I see where you just unfold them and pull the panels out to set them up. 👌
When you get home pop up the tent in your garage or covered car port then step into it with a tube of seam sealant and daub where you see light. Presto! waterproof! It's always a good idea to keep a tube handy when tent camping anyway. Those tents are used a lot up here in Alaska. You're going to pop it up anyway for drying. Put that time to good use. Then take it out again when it's raining then make a final review. Another good video. Seeya next week.
I have been heating my 2 bed house with paraffin heaters for the past 2 years. Here in Northern Ireland houses are still heated with paraffin central heating so its pretty cheap. Ive a few classic ones but my chinese heater will put you out its so hot. Ive saved a fortune these past 2 years and im never cold the average cost £10 a week. Even in the depths of winter. You just need carbon monoxide detectors and not minding refilling them. Well done for highlighting these amazing heaters.
The tent pops up and down nicely. It provides more useful privacy than your clear one!😇😋
Haha, very true that
I love your videos, seeing how you set up the structures, the wood fire, the cooking, very soothing. Thank you Andy!
I Love the spider web with the sunset behind it.
I am always very impressed with your fire pit. Stable, easy to set up and cook on, and it all fits into a compact bag for easy transportation. Each trip must take quite a bit of planning as you always have the right camping kit, and the right ingredients for your chosen dinner. Your cooking skills way out there in the outback are astounding! Thank you for allowing us along! PS Does that small stove use paraffin? You just gave us the answer......
Kent, your smile is contagious. Makes me look forward to each of your adventures.
Your videos always make me smile. Both you and Simon’s. Thanks for all your work producing these.
Stumbled across your channel 4/5 days ago.. done nothing but binge watch them! Love the videos mate! Keep them coming!
I've got me the same tent, from Vevor too, I use it for a sauna tent, mine had a couple of pin holes in it, not any repairs with sealant however (not good), strangely enough it doesn't leak in the rain, even heavy rain, I live in the UK too so have an appreciation of what a awful wet winter we have had. Loving the videos.
Do the seams let in a bunch of light too?
Not really, I'm beginning to think I must've had one from a good days production @@NowUndefined
We had a similar tent heater when I was growing up. Was twice the size of the one on video and worked very well. We never cooked on ours though.
I have been in London on holiday for the past week and a half and I spent the day in Kent at the Chatham Dockyards a few days ago. I looked for you but I didn’t see you around! You must have been off making another great video. I am back to the US on Friday and enjoy all the videos from there. Thanks for all you do.
Im loving these odd tent vids. Reminds me of when I was a kid and the random stuff we used. Hope all is well and looking forward to spring vids with bluebells!
Was looking around for your YT. Well anyway I remembered how much you made me laugh…So I’m ready for that laugh !
Ya at 70 I’m still camping, I love the out doors.
Andy. You are a legend. I have a stressful job but your videos are like a relaxing bath!
Cheers buddy 👍
I've not watched this yet, I just saw the thumbnail and burst out laughing, thinking wtf has he got now!!!😄
That's normally my gauge on what to expect too 😆
Andy should do a video on how he stores all this tat
You mean fumnail
He has bought a fart warmer...
Always a great night when Andy posts a new video :^)
:)
That's one large , sturdy looking lantern ! Nice !
Yeah I’ve waited to see your next video.excellent. Love the heater.not 100% sold on the tent although it looks roomy it’s holy.. hee hee 😜 we so look forward to your cooking as viewers. See ya soon 🇺🇸🙋♀️🌅🌻 tupelo miss..
My life had been so hectic lately, but I always find peace in your videos. Even if "only" a short while. Thank you for what you do
Lol ending w/ a blooper.
Nice touch.
I have a Coleman instant up 5 dome tent. It is the best tent I've ever had. loads of room and survived heavy storms (with added 8" pegs) and stitched ground sheet kept out flooding. Easy to put up and down. Now I am an old fart, camping is no hassle with space to get my boots on quickly to go the loo. ❤Love these brilliant videos!
Here in Minnesota we use something very similar for ice fishing and we do heat them with propane. They work great!
What is it called?
I have to say I'm in awe at the way you're willing to place your H&S firmly in the hands of effectively unbranded dodgy gear ..... 🤣🤣🤣🤣 Great vid as always Andy 👍
Love the simplicity of this video. Goes to show that camping doesn't have to involve crazy knowledge or a ton of money. Got a heater and a pan? Lets get cooking 🍳
Haha I'm getting to know you. I saw those 2 taquitos and knew you had to have 2 more .😂I've enjoyed all the different tents. It makes my tent selection easier. Thanks a bunch😊
Saw a video with a cool idea for heating a tent. Basically a section of metal tube bent into a z-shape with a flat bit on one end to act as a stand. He placed it outside the tent with just the upper horizontal poking into the tent and a wood fire around the vertical. In theory, convection sucks in cold air at the bottom and throws heated air into the tent, avoiding the problem of water from the fire condensing inside, or risking monoxide poisoning.
I have the same ice fishing shelter but mine is made by Nordic and it is insulated. I use it for hot tenting with a big buddy propane heater. Works great and very fast set up. The insulated version really blocks the wind and holds the heat. Great video!
Loved all the new cinematic camera moves man! 🎥❤️👍🏻
Andy, good to see you again. Love the Mexican food you prepared. In the Texas-Mexican border towns, we call your "taquitos" "flautas" when the tortilla is wrapped and fried the way you did. We line them up next to each other and pour on a sauce, sour cream, and sometimes avocado. As for the chorizo on huevo, in my family, we sometimes add fried potato that has been cut down into small cubes. So we would start with the potato until it's ready, then we add the chorizo until it begins to get a little fried and release some oils, and finally, add the eggs. Then we stir everything until it's set. Put it on some tortillas and you got some great breakfast tacos. I like the heater unit you used; especially that you can cook with it too. I am sure glad you got a break from the rain on this trip, you deserve it. P.S. Thanks for the notice on Simon. It is good to know he is taking a break. I think everyone should take one from time to time. Its hard work, what you do with these videos.
Definitely enjoying your different tent adventures this winter. Looking forward to seeing your spring trips. Your food is always top notch. 😊
Lived in the U.K. for 6 months in 1988. Mexican food was unheard of. Glad to see it's international. Greetings from Reno, NV.
found your channel a couple weeks ago and have enjoyed all your shenanigans and experiments as well as the cosiness your camps exude. your videos make me want to try and pick up camping again :)
Just to let you know Andy that I like all your camping videos and the tents the have tested
Andy mate, just a suggestion, why don't you, mark, Simon and anyone else you can think of get together and build an authentic American style log cabin, it would be amazing spread over a couple of months, any thoughts 🤘
@peterskarratts1834 Great idea! Would love to see that
Again, just a thought building on yours....Could do it all in a couple months. Or, could do it a bit at a time over 12 months, have it as a long running 3 min section at the end of every normal video showing how it's coming along. Then at the end could hold a special event for it with something on a spit and bbq etc as a special episode. Then could be rented out as a special weekend getaway for outdoors people (maybe some future vids in that too)
You don't even need nails or screws if you do it correctly
I'm a BIG FAN of your channel ! Looking forward to warmer weather videos and summer fun ,! 🎉❤😊
I loved it when you were putting the mixture into the tortilla then said 'which way round' 🤣😂...good job you didnt have that third beer before you started cooking 🤭....shame the tent didnt work out..cool concept and great vid as usual Andy 👍
I will test this Heater tomorrow in a tipi. I'm excited!
If you have an ice fishing tent, it doesn't matter if there are some small holes. It's usually snowing as well as freezing. I do enjoy your video's
Parafin heaters used to be used as room heaters at home..but like burning gas they give off all of moisture so everything gets damp
Hello Sir, really LOVE your videos!! In fact, I think I may have even purchased the same exact ice fishing shelter off of eBay after watching Steve Wallis on one of his camping videos use a portable air conditioning system to keep it cool on the hot summer heat. The only problem was after getting what I thought was a good deal like yourself, I noticed the same imperfections you did in your video, which took all the wind out of my sails. I don’t know if any of them can be repaired using a coating material which could be applied, in which case I might just donate it to a homeless person so they have a better roof over their head until finding a way off the streets. But I really appreciate all the hard work you do making these videos. Keep putting them out there and making all of us proud. 😇
Another great video Andy, you are so relaxing to watch love your channel
I really liked this tent. You are right in your assumption they are brining out all kinds of versions of pop ups. Like most have commented your videos are so enjoyable. Lots of different information and as I have commented before the food.... omg you make cooking look so easy. Thank you again for such a informative and interesting video. We are so lucky to have you to tune into. Looking forward to the next one!
The bob Ross of camping ⛺️ ❤
Great comparison!
Spot on! 😍😂
Lovely easy going camping for you my friend. I enjoyed every minute of it. Thanks Andy😊
I would spray that whole tent with camp dry or some sort of boot water proofing agent
Please don’t leave it long for your next video Andy 😢 you’re awesome 😊😊
California USA here, I have this tent and I used it for bathroom, shower, changing room. Working great it can be hot in summer, so we keep doors open. Was half the price for a True shower tent and a great deal of more room insi
I just love your videos, and especially watching you cook! It always looks SO nice and makes me feel hungry! These really are feel good videos!
That is the problem with ice fishing shacks, they are made for cold weather with snow and are not waterproof. If used as designed, there should be no problem with that shelter. The food looked so good. Thanks for sharing your night out. :) :)
