I love the idea of a tent being up off the ground like that, it would make older/bad joints folk able to get up without so much struggle!
I'm 66 with serious health issues, so my camping days are behind me. But if I was to try camping again, I'd try one of these cot/tents! Looks pretty cozy. But I am also 6'4" tall, so might have trouble finding one to really fit me. 😀
Don't you believe it!🤣🤣🤣
I feel ya!
Agreed. Would like to see the ability to add two together, so a couple could sleep in basically the same rent. Shouldn’t be too hard to do, for the tent company, just add a second door, or all the way across the top, maybe. Possibly a whole different design. Who knows? Maybe they already have that. 😂
@@sharonegger5130Amazon sells a single and a double
Not weird. Brilliant. It's off the ground. It's a cot. It's a covered camp chair. It's a Bivee tent.
Very versatile and efficient design.
It’s a four poster canopy bed!
@@Sujowi Haha genius!
Redistributed recycled materials retrofit into a tent without a form of acceptable quality and safety control, looks nice to look at though
Wie konnte es passieren, dass die Luftmatratze am Morgen plötzlich rot ist ??? 😎
Agree with your points. My only concern would be durability.
It was heartwarming to see you eat a Spam and egg sandwich for breakfast. I'm an American and many people I've encountered immediately say "YUCK! I hate that stuff" when I've mentioned Spam. I've always thought that reaction came from people who have never tasted it. When I was growing up, every now and then my family had Spam and eggs for Sunday breakfast after church. My father liked it cut in 10mm thin pieces and fried crispy on the outside. Before anyone comments, it's processed food so we didn't eat much of it. Anyway, that's enough Spam talk. I appreciate your videos and look forward to more.
Well, as a german mostly camping on metal festivals, i have eaten this breakfast for years.
Could not imagine some better breakfast to get rid of the hangover.
I'm from the U.S. and I can't even look at Spam without getting a weird feeling. I'm sure plenty of people eat it (maybe) but I don't know anyone who does.
@@thecatatemyhomeworkthat is very fair, I don't think anyone thinks it look appetizing in or just out of a can. Once you fry it spam actually looks much better and smells like any other breakfast meat. Whenever people are apprehensive I try to explain it like really tightly packed and salty pork sausage which helps some. It is worth a try just cut some slices and put them in a pan without any fat until they are crispy, then throw it on a bagel with a slice of American cheese and a egg.
I too like tinned meat like spam...I always have some in the pantry because it reminds me of my dad
I *love* spam. I can even eat it without cooking it. I just cut off a tiny slice and eat it with a fork. Cooked is obviously better, though, lol
You seem like such a peaceful, happy, simple bloke… Really refreshing in the midst of all the crazy and loud stuff going around on social media ! Living in the city, I really miss overnight wild camping trips with delicious home made food in such a calm atmosphere thank you :)
I was thinking the same. I bet he's really kind and gentle. Cheeky sense of humour too (hard wood 😂). What's not to love ❤
@@stephanieworrall5751
😅Lol
He will do UA-cam money raining on him lol 💸💸💸💵💵💵💰💰💰💰
I like the fact that its a raised tent, stops the damp and creepy cruely things coming in and up
A sturdy tent for £130 with a cot, rain awning, air mattress and sheet, pillow and pillow case? I like how it's up off the ground and you can sit comfortably at the entrance like you're in a chair. Nice. Looks great for solo car camping!
Weighs a ton is long in a bag awning sucks and doesn't go to the floor so is cold with no storage. It isn't worth £130 better off with a wh100 and a cot bed for £80
I actually got the double bed version of exactly this tent for a festival a while back and it was 100% worth it
Could you tell us which company or a link to find these tents ? Preferably the double bed.
What i like the most is how much you enjoy your self prepared meals and a nice beer. Really great to see that.
The food looked delicious! Was wondering what he was gonna make for dessert 🧁
Ahhh that lovely sound of a tent zip takes me back to camping holidays in the 80s n 90s in Wales with poor weather but that's all my mom could afford on her own.. I'm eternally grateful for those fond memories
👍,,
One of the best sounds in the world!
Camping awesome!!! Keep going!!!
That's a sweet memory Leon! Thanks for sharing it! ❤😊❤
Reminds me of camping too!
Dib dib 😅
Truly amazing. I need something like this for my severely disabled wife. It would give us a chance of having the adventures we used too. Thanks for putting this out there ❤️❤️❤️
Have to agree! I have RA. Normal camping set ups I can't do but this could be a doable! Good luck. Hope you achieve that!
@@nelliemelba4967 I also have a busted spine in 3 places, but just crack on and can still enjoy my time outdoors with modified kits and hikes for the pain level of the day. However, this could be a total game changer for my wife? Will you be buying one? If so, I hope this really helps give you more time outdoors to unwind 🙏
Maybe a disabled outdoor channel could be a thing? 🤔
Ask her what she thinks first. I know that with some of my spine issues, specific alterations would be needed.
@@salvatorebaleno9807 She sat and watched this with me and it looks like she approves. There will definitely be alterations needed, and I may have issues as I'm 6ft 2in though 😂
I'd certainly consider it. My friends go camping, and this means I could join them now and then. An outdoor channel for people who have mobility problems is a great idea!
I am a woman who has only ever slept in an add on to my late mothers touring caravan once & finally did fall asleep after worrying about insects etc as mum was new to caravanning & had'nt got all the bits & bobs but we survived the weekend on the caravan site :) I have watched your other app on the landrover conversion for some time & did'nt realise till i watched these that you were the same guy . I am from the North East of England in the middle between Darlington /Stockton On Tees & Middlesbrough but i'm married to a Man of Kent or a Kentish Man depending on which side of the Medway you come from ( he's a Man Of Kent ) have been down to Inlaws a few times but never managed a walk through the woods on Bluebell Hill when they are out . Absolutely love Kent & the people. Within days of meeting my future mother in law people were coming up to me at the bus stop saying " You must be Peggy's daughter in law to be , we have heard so much about you , then sat on the bus with me & told me all the nice shops to go in to in Maidstone which i thought was great xx
I’ve set up similar system when I was at friends place that had too much company I set it up in corner of living /family room and I had my privacy And made it not awkward for anyone in room Great for those kind of sleepovers
Sounds cool 😊
Found this channel by mistake. Absolutely love it.
Me too!!! Love it!
I love that cot/tent/awning set up. What a fantastic design. This would be great for an outdoor festival event. It also gives you a nice place to sit. The awning being open invites socializing and the cot gets you off the ground for sleeping. All the windows are great for cross ventilation. The fact that it comes with an air mattress and all the bedding is the icing on the cake.
Possibly easier to steal from, hard to store everything in too !! May need a popup spare supplies tent to hold all your goods lol
i agree with the initial sentiment but there's really no storage area for your backpack etc. it's perfect for places you know you can trust 100% but i wouldn't leave my other stuff outside while sleeping during a festival.
@@skeetskeet4123 How is it worse than any other tent in terms of security?
@@jama211 1 layer thick, very small so you can't hide stuff easily etc. Hardly different but id double down on that statement, definitely a little easier for a thief to quickly unzip, grab and go at a festival with that tent
Good for summer camping without cold winds whooshing under the cot.
I hated camping, but you've made it look so easy and enjoyable I might have another go.
i added a like, but, then, realized, I got pregnant with my first that way on an uncomfortable rock. Maybe not.
When our church group went camping, everyone would help each other set up their campsite, which was so nice. And we had an option of staying in a tiny bedroom with bath and old furniture. But it was indoors and those of us too wimpy to sleep outdoors could "day camp" the two days we were out there!
The last time I went camping was with the girl guides was nearly 55 years ago there were 6 of us to a tent which were made out of canvass. We always camped near a small river. The laser time was for a week it rained solidly for 3 days the river burst it's banks and we had to move the tents twice. Everything was damp and I couldn't take anymore and phoned my dad to come and take me home. If it had been in one of those tents you show I'm sure I wouldn't have minded the rain and wet. I was only about 13/14. I've never camped since preferring a proper bed that wasn't just a sleeping bag on the floor and a proper roof over my head. But the tents you show are really quite lovely and comfortable.
The tent is an amazing idea to be fair, imagine it was more than drizzle proof, it would be excellent
That's what a tarp is for lol
@@Josh-bs4xfyes but that wasn't the point of their comment
Your right it would be great if it was waterproof,sadly at 6foot 3 it would still be too small for me😐
An arb swag is much better quality I use an ARB swag 😍😍😍
@scottishtony5059 I'm 6' 5" and it fits me just fine
Many things are really noisy right now, and I cannot tell you how much I appreciate you offering us some amazing content that doesn't have to do with anything else we got going. Hand-delivered peace. Thank you so much.
That is a lot of house for the price. Great find. Keep the embers away from the material if you have a fire going and should be pretty good!
I love this tent and bed, off the ground and is a seat too plus with all the bedding.A tarp over the top would complete it for rainy days.
Purely a personal quirk I guess but I dislike walking in nature accompanied by the sound of my clothing rustling.
His voice to me seems like when you watch a Bob Ross painting video. Nice and calm in a world of (as you put it) noise.
Bob Robert that is super funny. We try not to wear corduroy out here even if it's incredibly warm, it's annoying. Some coats are just noisy, and the colder it gets the crunchier. Leather is relatively quiet when it's worn and soft and not squeaky, but get it wet and you are done for.
"went hard at it with the wood" 🤣🤣 The look on your face when you realised what you said haha
Loving the work you do. makes me itch to go camping again.
Keep up the great work
Something so cozy about camping videos.
I have two of these! Firstly, terrible for bad weather. BUT!!! They have three or four great utilities. 1. With two you can make a nice naturally closed off camp, get a windbreaker and it's a nice set up around a fire. 2. It's nice to sit on them. 3 (and this is big) I mostly use this inside other tents when you want an extra cubicle. I have a square tent and a couple of times with one other person I've used these so that we each have a private sleeping space. So pretty good.
Good idea
I'd carry a tarp to be strung over it if more than a cm of rain is expected...if alone.
If I set up a proper tent, then I wouldn't bother...just sleep on the cot.
@@STho205 I think you missed his point- he said "if you need a PRIVATE space inside the larger tent...
nice idea
We have something similar for years here in Australia. But not called a tent, it’s called an enclosed camp bed. Has windows and fly screens and doors open both sides. Not sure it’s waterproof or comes with all the gear. Enjoying your content Andy. Best wishes from Western Australia.🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺
Some nice features it seems. I'm a fan of airing out plastic/pvc bits before confined in small spaces with them. Thanks for the video!
I love how much you enjoy your tea!! It makes me smile every time.
The original version of these tents is called the Kamp Rite Tent Cot, and quite frankly they are superior to every other kind of tent for most people.
Enjoyable video as always ,great content , brilliant recipes , tent just too small for 6'4" guy like me
Teton tents makes a version that would work. I am 6 foot 3 and by no means supermodel skinny. Their XXL camp cot, with pop up tent and rainfly will work.
@@tonyboloni64yeah saw a UA-cam from Canada using that in all weather - seems awesome. Was tempted but bit squeezy with a big dog too lol😂
I like the design of this package. There is a place to sit off the ground, a place to shelter off the ground, and a chance of good ventilation. I would select different components, based on ones I already own and like.
If it's like the one on my Amazon wish list, it's a pre-made bundle, you can't mix-and-match. But if you already have like a sleeping bag or fly-tarp you could probably switch things around in the carry case
I love how compact the tent is, and all that comes with it. It's above ground which is good, for keeping dry and for the back and legs. He is well equipped. The mini cook stove is too cute, and worked perfectly. The beauty and quiet of the woods, is so relaxing. Thank you for a pleasant vid. God bless and keep safe. 😊👍🙏
What a beautiful tree! The whole place is gorgeous. Ah nature.
Me and my oldest son went camping together a couple of years ago. And we had our tent and fire on the go cooking food it is so peaceful. And every time I watch your videos it brings me back to that moment with my son . I will do it again once my youngest is a little older. I’ve been watching your videos for 6 months now and they just get better and better keep up the good work I enjoy your content x❤
For all the gear you get with the tent its a great deal, I'd be tempted if they made a waterproof version. Also that is one of the most mouth watering camp meals I've ever seen on youtube🤙
You can waterproof it yourself, you know
@@mrs.c5471I wonder how a silicon waterproofing spray go
Well, I got one, which was listed as “waterproof” but I treated it again. I LOVE this thing! The air mattress is comfortable, the sleeping bags (yes, I got the double) are nice.. The zippers on the door and windows work easily, the cot is heavy duty. The only negative I have is the carrying case, the handles are a little wonky so it’s hard to pull, but the wheels work well.
@@mrs.c5471 could you give us a link to the one you ordered?
@@mrs.c5471What's the link if you don't mind
THAT FOOD LOOKS ABSOLUTELY AMAZING
BECKY 😊
It’s a bit impractical for camping but could see something like this being good for disaster relief type stuff. Everything in one bag is a great advantage for that kind of thing, a van full of these would house a lot of people without much hassle.
True; but, as an older camper, I would love having it to be able to be able to camp without being on the ground. It would definitely be easier than having to get up & down from the ground.🙂
Such a peaceful and relaxing video to watch ,to take away the noise of city living.
Thanks for sharing your solo camp out with us .
Best wishes from Simon and Beth 🌳💕💖🌳😀👌
I always thought it would be cool if they made a backpack frame that becomes a cot.
That is a good idea, I'm sure it can be done.
Make it
Design it and sell the idea . Get paid for the concept.
There you go! Get a patent on that 💩, for real. Great idea.
Why stop there? Why not have a backpack that is the tent. Like in backpack mode, the backpack frame turns into a cot with a tent already attached. And then the tent unfold and unfurls. It means you have two less things to carry/pack.
I love this. It's a Cot with a build in tent. This is a great idea 💡
Even with its small issues (short, not waterproof, no pockets) it’s still a pretty neat set up for the price!
Not a bad little set up if you are new to camping adventurers and not wanting to invest a huge amount of money ! Nice 👌
I bought a stretcher tent (OZ Tent Stretcher Bunker Bed) years ago and was quite impressed how quick it was set up.
It was easy to use just as an open bed with a mosquito net and pretty much water proof when fully set up.
Used it for almost two month twice in the Australian bush and really liked it.
It had no mattress tho, so I got cold from underneath and had to buy one.
Easy fix, wonderful nights out there!
I bought that exact tent this past spring to use on my hiking/ camping this season but plans got changed unexpectedly. Nice to see this as a review for it
You have an amazing talent of making this simple hobby a fascinating watch and very entertaining. Thank you I look forward to enjoying many more outings.
Looks like a banging deal that tent! Better if waterproof obviously but like you say, a tarp over top fixes that. I think I prefer the hammock because of the off the floor-ness so something like that would be awesome
I have the Oztent Bunker Xl which is a Brilliant piece of kit, similar idea but with a completely waterproof flysheet and poles that pull out from the cot bed that the flysheet attaches to. Really comfortable, if your car camping this is the way to go. Really nice relaxing video Andy keep up the good work!
Wanted to let you know. I'm here to stay. I am learning so much that I didn't know. So UA-cam can do what they want, I won't go anywhere. I really enjoy your videos.
I kinda like the idea of one of these for one of those massive multi person tents you can stand up in, it would allow for a little bit of privacy :D
my reason for looking forward to Wednesday, a new video from Andy
What a great idea...really like the idea of combining the tent with the sleeping system. Looks like it has some limitations - not least the lack of waterproofness/fly sheet - but perhaps as a proof of concept it's cool.
I did wonder how it would bear up to a sudden gust of wind on the back of the of the tent...you might end up trapped if it blew over! 😁
Unzip the door, fold it *into* the tent... stand on the (revealed) dirt, and lift the whole thing back upright :p
Needs a mozzie net for Scotland
Wow! I love your tent, you make it look so easy. Thanks for sharing your awesome adventure. ❤
Cool fure starting demo. I love your simple methods and motivation to get out and camp
I wouldn't like to heft the tent and cast cookware for any distance but would love it all as a base camp. Tent reproofing and seam sealing would seal it plus a tarp over would be ideal. The duck and waffle looked great!
Always anticipating new videos! Some of the best in the biz!
Cheers from the Prairies of Canada! 🍻🇨🇦
Andy, I doubt very if anything could make you look bad my friend. Your videos are so uncomplicated they are very entertaining. When you say you love breaking down the whole duck, that is a way of paying homage to the duck, or so ancient hunters looked at it that way or getting back to nature. Yes, I do love camping and all things natural. Keep them coming mate.
Loving your videos! So much fun to watch. I only started watching regularly recently and am now discovering your back catalogue. Well done!
Loved this one. I can imagine using this set up with a tarp over the top and around the back to make it more wind and weatherproof. Oh, gonna do the duck and waffle dish too! Thanks fella.
Not only is this the camping videos we all know and love but we now have some science experiments in there too. Good stuff lol
My wife and I have had this tent for about 4 years now, have used it every summer for camping. Can't complain.
You must be small that tent only fits one?
@peanuts68ful ours had a full size air mattress in it. It's definitely more comfortable solo, but it's totally doable.
@@peanuts68ful this tent is a single, ours is a double
First time watching . Peaceful, calming and informative. Thank you
Love it Andy! Taking us back to schooldays with a little science lesson as well!
Watching from USA great channel will hope to see more thanks
I really like that... that is PERFECT for a weekend fishing trip at the lake!
One thing I enjoy about your videos. It’s that camp food doesn’t have to suck. It’s evolved so much since I was in the scouts in the 80’s. I always show these videos to my boys to keep them inspired. Thanks.
I had something very similar about 12 yrs ago. Made by Caperlan, it was called "The Bed Box". I used to use it when I went night fishing, and it was rain proof. I think they have a newer version out now.
The duck and waffles seems to be a riff on the fried chicken and waffles we have here in the States. Try sprinkling a little brown sugar on your Spam before you fry it, it's a whole different experience. Thanks for another great video!
That meal looks absolutely scrumptious ! 😋 Good Job Andy!
I too, am quite impressed with the setup. Sure, it may not be best for backpacking, or extreme weather. But for spring and summer - looks very comfortable. With an additional/separate rain fly, it would do very well. Thanks for the video 😉
Interesting concept. I'd fly a tarp over it for possible rain. It could be just a few inches shorter, I think, yeah? But what a very interesting option for non-backpacking camping.
I have the cot, had bought a bike tent to put the cot in, but that was way hotter than expected. This looks like a fair compromise. I wonder how it handles the winds!
you are my favorite camping channel your videos always keep me entertained! 😊
Love these videos, even though I live in the Welsh country and have no idea what it is like to actually go camping... glad I found these videos
Looks like a useful tent for specific camping purposes and I wondered if you could waterproof it yourself?
Thanks for the video 👍🏻
I don't see why you couldn't seem seal it.
Quite a cool little tent to be honest!
Yeah..... buy a tarp.
@@bmw328igearheadgona be easier hehe
Seam seal it a waterproof the fabric with silicone caulk and mineral spirits technique. Job done...
for that price, including an air mat, cover, inflatable pillow, AND sleeping bag, that's a proper china bargain, for a "one order" solo camping cot setup. i'm thoroughly impressed! (even if the air mat leaked)
also: permanganate and glycerine are definitely a stylish way to start a fire. but i'm willing to bet, that glycerine contained too much water, that's why it took so long, and crackled so much. (it's VERY hydrophilic) if you get the good anhydrous stuff, and finer PPM, it get's going in
The tent is brilliant, and the stove also looks like a great bit of kit. Perfect set up with a decent fly-sheet. Great video, thanks
I want that stove, not the tent.
That tentbed is ....INSAINLY FANTASTIC 👏👏👏👍😁
The forest where you live is beautiful and rich. I love it
..👍
the space invader looks nice, well thought out (bar the total rainproofing!) hope to see more with it 😊
Before I hurt my foot I made a cart from an aluminum bike stroller for my Shepherd to pull my camp stove , bags and tent . Just an idea for you but you have a lot of cool gear...cheers from Denver, Colorado, USA
Your vids make me feel peaceful and relaxed. Enjoyable! ☺️
That was cool how you started the fire with the chemicals! 🎉🔥
Love the tent,❤it looks fantastic. At least no creepy crawlies can sneak in if you're off the ground. 😂😂😂
Oh yes they can 😂 many creepy crawlies like the cover. Sleep tight!
@@toejamr1 LOL.😁
I need one of these tents for my wife to sleep in. Every time we camp, she manages to puncture either the base or the inflatable mat. No it's not stilettos, it is forks, kebab robs broken bottles etc.
The world seems to be a complete train wreck right now, I escape once a week to go camping and cooking with you Andy, keep up videos, and the good work.
Thanks for another great Video, its always relaxing to watch your videos with the sound of nature and I always learn something. I am amazed how quickly that went up and was put away. I have had dearer tents that took longer
I enjoyed this soo much & just subscribed. The zipping of the tent flap & the crackling of that wonderful fire brought back such good memories, except we never made such delicious meals!!!
My first time seeing this channel. Well, that was relaxing and entertaining to watch.
Quite interesting camera angles, content and sights/sounds captured…
I admire this gentleman having fun and being positive along with the work he needed to make this happen.
Also, his testing of various gear is likely helpful to those individuals new and experienced at camping to see what may or may not make sense to purchase. Well done.
i actually kinda love this! i like the idea of a tent being off the ground to avoid creepy crawlies. plus, it would be so easy to wrap bug traps around the legs so nothing can climb up the the actual tent. perfect for bug deterrent ^w^
In America we do chicken and waffles....delicious
Wow duck and waffle sounds very very good. Sweet and savory. Thanks for posting this man. Love the tent cot idea.
How is it I have never been camping at all but I can’t stop watching your videos….? The content and the overall presentation are amazing. Keep me coming back again and again to watch (always make me hungry too watching your dinner).
Keep up the great videos and content. Makes me want to get into camping.!
That tent looks like such great value! it comes with literally everything you need!
I love duck! That looks so good! I'd never heard of "duck&waffles", but I need to try it. 😊
I really like duck eggs with rice for breakfast, richer than chicken eggs. 😎👍
This looks a nice compact set up, but as you say, you'd definitely need a tarp or outer skin over that in case of rain, but could be added easily.
Thanks again Andy. We are working our way through your videos. You have such a gentle manner and have a great set of kit- love your wooden bowl plate and mug and dutch oven. Look forward to your videos....giving us camping ideas too!😊
Wow! That is so much better idea, than a normal tent! No lying on a cold, wet ground and you can sit there. Perfect tent.
Yes, - dry, no ants, no scorpions, no mud, no water running into it (if you look for a waterproof model).
They come in all shapes and sizes. Look for Stretcher Tents...
Heyy Andy nice place beautiful scenery, the tent look great easy to set-up, sorry it's not water proof, or it would have been a fantastic tent,thanks for sharing stay safe
You are excellent at setting up and breaking down your campsite ⛺️
Went in the cupboard after this and there was no spam, gutted, you made me want that sandwich so much! I love weird, ebay finds, some of the stuff is so wacky but this actually looks halfway decent, especially for loved ones who are not fans of creepy crawlies. There's even a 2 person model which looks so unstable it's extra awesome 😂
This gentleman has taken so much time to make awesome videos ,different angles etc . Let’s give him credit for that .. not an easy task 😊In Australia 🇦🇺 I camp in a single swag .. I would really like to see you do a review on that .didn’t say goodnight inside the tent.😂
I love that tent! I'd have a tarp for rain with some way to anchor it or clip it to the metallic poles. Great find. I miss camping.
Thanks for reviewing I always wondered how those worked out.
I love this channel, just discovered a few weeks back. So relaxing and I love the gadgets. Thing is I hate camping but enjoy watching you doing it! You achieve great levels of home comforts while doing so.
I always wonder how Andy manages to find these empty woodland sites? I live in rural Oxfordshire which is full of rolling woodlands but criss-crossed with so many public footpaths and bridleways finding a nice, clear, quiet area where you can camp and light a fire is virtually impossible. They'd be a friendly Spaniel out with his owner on their daily walk appearing the moment you got the Sausages out!
Absolutely. Completely baffled as to where he finds these spots. I've assumed he knows the landowners.
The private land where I live is surrounded by secure fencing with signage making it very clear to keep off. To find who even owned it would be difficult enough let alone get their permission to drive though their woodland, cut down branches, light fires etc Whilst, as I say public land offers very little in the way of genuine truly secluded places. Especially in Kent which is a very urbanised county thanks to its close proximity to London and the South-East. I enjoy Andy's content but an genuinely curious about all this.
Wow. So much open land here in the West. I didn’t know it was difficult to find there.
@@LilyGazou Believe me, it's hideous. Only last week there was a protest of "Right to Roam" groups seeking more access to land - and that's just to walk, let alone camp. There are even rivers to which paddling access is restricted apparently. I largely grew up in the UK but have lived in Australia for 25 years and land freedom (so much wilderness) is such here that I'd hate to have to go back to live in the UK. Enjoy your travels.
@@eggmammal I thought I was going to sound daft if asking where the heck one can camp and make a fire that feels so remote. And is legal.
Always informative and FUN!!! Thank you Andy! My mom (84) with early stage dementia watches you all the time because I set up her TV and Roku to immediately go through the entire library of your videos! We bot are huge fans! Massive love and Cheers!!!!
Your videos are great. I really enjoy them. Thank you.
Looks great for indoor use if you have teens/kids staying over. Everyone gets a bit of quiet privacy!
On the subject of building permanent shelters - particularly using wood. I've watched a number of shows made by some really enthusiastic and resourceful people who've built their shelters so sturdy they could conceivably qualify as nuclear-weapons proof. One guy was building a tiny shack using logs which were strong enough to qualify as primary load-bearing posts for one of the major cathedrals in Venice weighing a mind-boggling number of tons. Watching him labour made me think - "if everyone set out to do something similar the earth would be devoid of forests within a few short years." I think I'll stick with 3x2s.
