Happy Burns night all! there are still a few Limited edition Leather Patch sets available at www.kentsurvival.com When theyre gone, theyre gone for good :) Enjoy the video!
Now I know what to do with the 50 pack of silver biankets I bought years ago, thank you. Very entertaining / Southern White Dove ,Peace, love & Prosperity always, my friend.
❤😍❤
Now we have to call you Bacon Kent :)
The reflection of the fire on the sides, and the transparent roof, really sets the theme of serenity!
Lovely, relaxing and comfortable.
Nice going !
Haggis?..🤔..I'll pass.
I don't eat entrails of any sort, except casings.
Great video!
✌️🏕️❤️🔥🤘🎸
@@terriemartinez9989 God, PLease don't put that in your body, do broccoli w/ chees, no animal fats should never be consumed, I've survived 9 Strokes ,cancer, am paralyzed from my chest down, so I stay on my bed watching RUclips. / I am Southern White Dove, sending t by e message of peace, love, & acceptance for all,always.
you got me at "leave a crack in the door for ventilation", when you had 6 inches open all the way around at the bottom lol
yeah bet thats why it was so cold lol
That's typical British thing - holes and vents everywhere in their houses xD
that food looks disgusting 🤢🤢🤢🤮
@@urgonnaluvit haggis isn't my preference, either. yet, it's respectful of the animals to use odd bits like heart, liver, and lung & i'm glad some ppl are into it. also shows off his range as a chef, everything he makes looks like he knows what he's doing
The two hunters said the craft was rectangular in form, about the size of a utility shed. They saw a vaguely huminoid figure, ( it was too dark to see details ) then turned and ran to their truck, and drove to the police station. They both agree the craft was silent except for a whispery rustling noise, and the smell of burned wood from its landing was still very noticable.
HahahahahahahahahahahahahHA Aaaa
That is TOO GOOD! 🤣🤣🤣
In a few years I hope to hear this story on Bedtime Stories.
It’s a bush-craft! 😂
@@vultan2000nice
Staying in that shelter must have given you plenty of time for reflection! Sorry for the awful joke Andy - great video!
🤣🤣
ROTF!!! I love punny stuff and yours was really good! 😂😂😂
You've been foiled again! 😅
GROAN! :)
That was a great TV pun intended. I'm laughing even now. You outta do stand-up comedy. I bet you'd be great.
Andy seems like such a genuine guy, and it makes his videos 200% more enjoyable to watch.
So Agree! 😅
So true I am hopelessly inlove
This vid alone got more than 1million views!
The great thing about that shelter is that aliens can't steal your thoughts when you are in there. 👽🤯😉😇😀
😂😂😂
😂😂😂😂 that’s hilarious
Shit, Its not the aliens you need to worry about.. it's the government...republicans. Control freaks that only survive when the masses live in fear. Trump is their spokesperson
CAN TOO…that’s PLASTIC, not METAL blankets…
Was thinking the same 😂😂😂
At 72 my camping days are over but do I enjoy watching your set up. Good job mate.
Never say never. Rent an RV and hit a state park!
My uncle is 90 and he sleeps in tent in a military cottage til this day.
No way you're 72 kid.
@@Nippy0u812idid 👍👍👍
What the heck are you talking about? I have a 72 year old friend who paraglides. He barely keeps up with the younger guys in air, but he makes it all up with the ladies in the evening...
Haggis!? In the woods!? From scratch!? You're a legend bud. As a card carrying, pedigree Scotsman I approve highly of this. 🔥💪🥃
Andy is a brave man 👍😄
I'll stick to getting mine from the chippy tho.
I live in PA in the USA and we have a dish called pigs stomach. It's made with ground meat, onions, carrots and other stuffand put in a cleaned pigs stomach and baked. Would this be like haggis?
@@ricktalbott9611 I think most places have something comparable to haggis and that sounds like a contender. Haggis is traditionally from sheep but adding beef suet and using ox bungs to cook it in is very common now. The pig version sounds awesome. 👍
Just need some Irn Bru and you’re set.
Just when I thought I'd seen it all. Haggis cooked inside a disco ball. Loved the video, keep living the dream 👍
That echo sound when the axe strikes… so nostalgic. That time of year, when leaves are down and visibility through the wood is so high (and sound travels so as to echo like that) is a singular pleasure. With a warm fire, of course.
Agree ,Love the true sounds too.
Thank you for being willing to talk on your video. I have watched others that just do stuff on their videos. It's fine but I enjoy getting to know the person that is doing the video a little bit.
So, that's what haggis is, tatties, and neepss are. Learned something new, this vid. By the way, the reason lungs from beef, and pork are illegal, state-side, is the potential for exposure to TB. I'm not sure if lung from goat is also illegal, or not. Goats are immune to TB, or at least highly resistant to it. I think I'd have used a cot to get up off the ground, but you seemed to do just fine, anyway. Another way to improve insulation would be to setup an inner layer of foil blankets, about an inch or two from the outer layer. This traps a layer of air in between, and that has R value. The additional blanket layer adds yet another R value. Thanks for the video. :)
Quoting Wikipedia, "In 1971 it became illegal to import haggis into the US from the UK due to a ban on food containing sheep lung, which constitutes 10-15% of the traditional recipe. The ban encompasses all lungs, as fluids such as stomach acid and phlegm may enter the lung during slaughter." There are variations on haggis that can be imported, but personally, I can make meatloaf taste the same, if properly spiced.
You uh....want to elaborate on that meatloaf spice? For research purposes!
Seeing that post hole digger brought back memories of my youth while living on our family farm in Southwestern Pennsylvania, USA. (I live in the UK now, since May 6, 2003) I became familiar with the use of it when I was as young as 12 when my Dad (❤️ R.I.P.) decided to install electrified fencing around our 50 hectares to keep the cattle from escaping. It was hard work using that post hole digger which left my hands with callouses but after seeing the last fence post go in I felt elated and from that day on had a sense of adult responsibility which made me feel more mature about myself. 👍🙂
Sleeping on the ground, in the cold, and haggis for dinner? You're not making me want to become a camper! lol Thanks for your videos, nice and relaxing to watch.
Next week, Andy builds a shelter out of Band Aids….That was awesome Andy 👏🏻👏🏻 and to see how a Haggis is constructed was very interesting as well. Lovely stuff Andy👍🏻
I think you should isolate the bottom zone. Thus, the heat generated inside would be reflected from the blankets and warm you much better. But I think you couldn't make a comfortable camp because of the cold coming from outside because you didn't insulate the bottom well. It was still a good adventure, I hope you enjoy it a lot. 👍
Cheers from Turkey 🎉🎊😄
It was a very creative shelter, but having the mylar wrap under the edges would help a lot! All that heat up top isn’t helpful if the ground is cold, it will only raw more cold air in.
Mate, you did haggis from scratch while camping in a makeshift shelter. You’re a legend!
Gone to google haggis. 🤔
@@jen2076it's horrible I believe but never tried any. 🤷🏻♀️
Love this man's adventures. The peaceful ambiance Kent brings with him just can't resist watching, specifically, before going to sleep.
You do know his name is Andy right?!?!? 😂
who is kent? lmao
No One could ever say andy has a lazy bone in his body!! Very cool to witness!! THANK YOU ANDY!
haha, cheers Heather :D love mixing things up
I consider watching his videos as part of my weekly exercise regime.
Definitely not lazy.
@@KentSurvival hey mate love your channel weird question but how do you wash your knife after cutting the meat and your hands do you have hand sanitizer?
Hmmm,🤔 I was just thinking the exact opposite. I would say that Andy is probably the laziest person I know.
Haggis in the woods... sounds like an album title. Also, major respect for just, going way out there. Experimental shelter AND dinner. Amazing.
In the future, before you put things inside a shelter you can also sweep the leafs on the ground on the inside up against the wall to provide added insulation. Combo that with what you did on the outside and it should work for a night or two
Usually i get bored watching such videos. But this man got some captivating magic for some reason. Second video im watching now zzz
The firdst one was the carrboard tent in the rain
Ah, yes, that campfire classic meal of haggis 😂 I was absolutely baffled when you said haggis. I was like, is this dude really about to make haggis from scratch at night in the middle of the woods?
I know, right? 🤨 I was thinking “you’ve heard of ‘Ramen 🍜 Noodles’ haven’t you?!”😂
That, and the bloke must’ve had a U-haul just out-of-shot to carry all that stuff with him!
@throwaway3873, have you even tried it? It's actually pretty good.
That beef Wellington was exquisite. Even a lattice crust. Love your videos!! Especially the cooks!
I didnt even know what it was lmao. I came for a camping video not the grossest scottish food lmao
Y'all haven't watched enough camping episodes to see the making of his blood pudding which he frequently dines on- for all the US viewers, fasten your seat belts
This guy is the sweetest man ever I love his laugh ❤
Wow, this so random...and brilliant! A tent that looks like a spaceship in the wood (Rendlesham Wood anyone?) and homemade haggis, neeps and tatties! I love all the gadgets too. This is bloke that knows how to get the best out his life!
i find your videos strangely addictive..60 years since i camped out in an Exchange & Mart ex army canvas tent, with built in sand bags to keep the wind out...great memories.
I lived in various parts of Scotland for over sixteen years (Aberdeen, Dundee,Ullapool,Edinburgh) and have been back on Merseyside for over twenty years; one thing I miss is a Haggis supper, which you can’t get down here. Not the finest Haggis you’ll ever eat, but on cold night (not uncommon in Scotland) on the wobbly way home from the pub, hard to beat.
Andy if your going cold climate camping make a trench inside your hut about 2 foot x1 foot and 1 foot deep. The cold air will go to the lowest point ,being down into the trench.
Why not make the trench outside? Haha
I’ve been watching this type of content for about 5 years and I’m just now coming across this channel. Better late than never I suppose.
I like that shelter. If you had to have an emergency shelter and you had a thousand blankets and some super duper tape, I can see this happening. Now, regarding that Haggis...um...I don't think so. I'm in the US so I guess it's illegal here. Oh, what a shame! Oh well, more for you. I could manage the Twix and tea, if it's iced. I'm in the South so it's sweet, iced tea here. You are right about tea keeping things more civilized. Love your channel!
That little folding stove looks quite cool. Worked better than I thought it would
I was scared that mylar might ignite.
@@ThatLadyInDallas2024 that would be a scary thought. 😮
Haggi is a word I didn’t think I had to add to my vocabulary. Bravo!
Your January looks so mild. We just got 14 inches od snow 2 days ago, and we have more coming tonight. Wonderful video.
It's calmed down a lot at the moment but I'm hoping for the snow to come back again soon
Bit late with this comment but making your own haggis is pretty impressive..... haggis, neeps 'n' tatties are so underrated and completely delicious, and to make it all while out camping in a homemade space blanket house is mind boggling😮 I take my bunnet off to you good sir.😊😊😊.
Don't forget Cock-a-leekie or Cullen Skink! I gotta get back to Scotland someday.
A good tip with Haggis is to boil it for about 2 hours and just before serving and some vegetable oil to the water! does nothing for the tast just makes it easier to slide into the bin. As you might have guessed it is an aquired taste that has eluded me!
!!!!OMG...HILLARIOUS...kevin williams!!!! I laughed 'til I cried. 🙂
I'm of Scottish heritage...Campbell sir name...and I wouldn't feed Haggis to my dog.
I tried it once...years ago. It took a week & a gallon of Listerine Mouthwash to get the
God-awful taste out of my mouth.
Best regards,
Ben
Thank you for mentioning the two trips. For ages I've been trying to figure out why I can't carry anywhere near as much as you do on my back - now I know that's not the case lol
2 for 2 on my birthday. 1st Simon and now Andy with a video drop. It's made my evening 😋
haha, Happy Birthday! :D 🥳
@@KentSurvival and that's the cherry on the cake. Thank you
The audio inside the tent sounded fantastic. So clean.
Hubby and I love this shelter. You out do yourself every video. Absolutely love your channel. The meals you make are outstanding
Nice mylar bush home for the night. Nice job on the build,I think you'll be plenty warm.👍☘️😎
Perhaps the best feature of the shelter was the way it gave you new ways to film light. You also captured some very sculptural wood and fungus. It would have taken more 'Neck Oil' for me to slide that haggis down my gullet.😉 I have been speculating on ways to 'improve' the shelter design. One way might be to de-stub some poles and wrap some part of the emergency panels around them to secure a base along most of the (uneven) ground. A raised bed would get you off the ground and out of the draft. Making a smaller shelter would be on my agenda! One of the useful parts about videos like yours is how they get the minds of viewers working in reaction to your experiences.
I'll bet Steve Wallis would absolutely LOVE this video!!
When Andy was put this up I thought of Steve’s attempt at a bubble wrap shelter!
The wife walks in and sees your setup and says,”Whelp! He should be able to tune in to every radio station in the region now with all that foil!” 🤣🤣🤣
Also when you started to process the wood for the stove I thought the wood was going to shot through the tent walls after all the work you did haha.
Love your videos here in SanDiego Cal
🤣 ironically, I had a radio and it wouldn't work inside
😂
Sorrento Valley, FTW!
“Whelp”? What’s a whelp?
probably you made yourselves a Faraday cage@@KentSurvival
I’ve been watching tons of camping videos lately and I find it so odd that no one seems to use a ground sheet anymore.
Luke from The Outdoor Gear Review uses a ground sheet every time.
That drives me nuts. Especially in snow camp.
I agree! So much cold and damp comes up from the ground!
and on this one not just ground sheet was “missing” but that huge gap on the bottom … to let wind in and out risking the whole structure and making it cold too… sure the air upward was warmer but … eh this was a weird one… a good concept but I felt at bit disappointed … which i usually
dont have with his videos
mityaboy463Plastic wrap to cover the gap at the bottom would do wonders.
Thanks for doing this with the emergency blankets! I've been thinking about experimenting, but your test answered my questions 👍
made your own haggis, outstanding, never seen this in a tent,FORT,before,hats off to you for that,brilliant that its your first time, i think i might of tried one at home first, impressive
Nice to see you still going strong Andy! So many seem to have stopped over the years, sending all the best to you and yours man.
I agree!
I love all of my White brothers and sisters.
May God bless us all.
I’m from the US and I can’t believe how brave you all are to eat all those organs lol! But what a great source of nutrients! I believe they found fungal spores, stomach acid and pollen that reaches the lungs so they banned it. But I would figure it would all be burned out. Who knows. I love watching your videos! Love from Arizona!
also from southern AZ!!!
I’m from the US as well and I’d starve before I ate that.
@@leeowens8294I'm from the U.S. too and yeah I most definitely would be starving if this was on the menu. It looked good but I can't eat organs. 😊
From Missouri, Just got back from Scotland and had Haggis about every other day. It is so dang good. You guys should definitely try it once for sure. Tastes nothing like is sounds.
I know it's a test, but the cardboard shelter, with the tarp over top and these on the interior walls and roof would probably be very comfortable.
I was at a "drive in" movie with my son at his elementary school, they would show movies on the basketball courts outside during the evening on a inflatable screen. The families would sit in camping chairs and the kids could make cars out of cardboard boxes.
Along with my son, his mom and her fiance were there. Our son was cold so I got an emergency blanket out of my trunk. She asked me why I was wrapping him up like a burrito. Lol
Making haggis from scratch is quite a challenge. Even more outdoors. Respect!
So fun to watch Andy!! Another great one and it’s alien proof! 👽🛸! You’re always the highlight of my week! ❤
Haha, thanks Katie.. no probs for me 🤣
😂
He is 👽
Love your willingness to deal with discomfort for our entertainment and education. Thank you
Brilliant stuff - fully haggised-up Scotsman here. I was thinking - could you have added an extra layer of the sheets which were about 2 feet beyond the bottom of the structure - like a skirt (or kilt😂) and put the logs on top of the overhanging bits thus completely sealing the ground level?
Reminds me of the forts we made outside on the clothes line or over the table and chairs! Love it
You didn't eat something from Fear Factor in it though, did you? Hahaha
I’ve just had haggis, neeps and tatties for my dinner. It looked a whole lot more appetising when pre-made! Sometimes it’s better not to know what’s in it!
The only thing I can think of that you might want to carry along with your stoves is a sterling heat engine. One of those heat recirculation things that looks like a small desk fan but runs on heat. They can help with the recirculating of heat so it’s not all that drafty in the corners.
From scratch absolutely incredible, you worked so hard.
Thank you very much
Fair play making haggis out in the wild. Scottish myself and don’t know many who make it at home 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Stay well Andy. You doing a great job. Really love your shows and hope you will continue to keep teaching us things to survive by 👋 .
Making the haggis in the woods; I've seen it all now!
I had two thoughts, first, of course, was if the whole thing would burst into flames and second, interestingly, was if the heat would cause the whole thing to start lifting up, like a hot air balloon. :)
Same thoughts I had. Expected him to wake up in Soviet Russia.
🤣 the hot air balloon thing didnt come to mind.. maybe i shouldnt have buried the posts and who knows :p
LOL! That would have left Andy in his sleeping bag on the leaves, I think...
@@John_Locke_108 LOLOL!
Andy, I can’t stop watching your channel and people learn so much from your videos keep up the good work….(I’ve even got my son watching your channel now) thanks 🙏 Andy
Andy is genuinely a nice guy i love his nervous laugh keep up the good work pal
It's not a nervous laugh, it's just a laugh
@N J its a nervous why else would he be laughing
@@ste.c9970 Exactly. I find it nauseating and distracting, it ruins what would otherwise be 5 star videos. He needs to work on his presentation if he is to progress the channel.
I like plastic wrap shelters and 'space blanket' wrap shelters. Those 'space blankets' were originally a NASA space program product along with Tang and anti-gravity ink pens. The original 'space blankets' were silver toned on one side and gold toned on the other side.
Last time I was in the Smithsonian Air & Space Museum gift shop, the 'dpace blankets' sold for about $8 US each. They were designed to be the minimal barrier that would keep body heat in to protect a person. To achieve that purpise though, air flow has to be kept minimal. Those needed to pretty much touch the ground to keep the heat indide the structure.
I understand that you wanted enough air flow to keep ocygen in the structure while the fure eas burning, so you could breathe.
Enjoyed your vid.
That's the first time I've ever seen a shelter made out of Mylar blankets. Quite ingenious!
He makes it look so easy!
Brave job with the wee haggis!! You’ve gone above and beyond what’s required!!!😂🎉
Cheers :) had to be done for the 1/4 Scotsman in me
Well done on the haggis , neeps and tatties , one of my fave dinners .
Ida made it a foot shorter and carried all sides to the ground.
His videos are so calming
Wow so cool different style of stuff you do makes a difference Well done Andy looking forward to seeing your next project
Thank you Samuel
Like your videos, love how you try different things for camping so we know what works and what doesn't.
Hi Andy. We've written a huge book on wild edible plants and trees. Been watching your channel probably a year now and thought you might like a copy. Let us know and we'll post you a freebie as reward for all the cold nights in the woods ! ✌️😁
Oh wow, thats amazing, thank you very much :D would you mind dropping me an email at kentsurvival@gmail.com when you get a chance? thank you.
I love your book and your channel.
😅 I love Andy Kent. He makes me wanna go camping even tho I loathe camping! I'd even help chop the wood.
Thanks Andy! Nice to come home and relax to your amazing bushcraft content before the football starts later. Again will look forward to your next outing, stay safe 💯
Out of all the RUclips survivors, one of the only I have seen who cook anything for scratch
I'd been thinking about how well those things would go into making a larger shelter. This might turn into a fun activity for my younger students' outdoors sessions. Thank you for that, first of your videos I've watched and I'm straight in as a subscriber.
Do you think the shelter would've been warmer in the morning if the gap at the bottom hadn't been as big as it was? Once I saw the size of the gap, I thought for sure you'd have to do a raised bed of some sort, but seems like you did well on the ground. I'm not trying to be snarky, I'm just... trying to understand how much of your success was the stove and NASA sleeping bag vs the shelter itself, you know? Because I'm not hardy enough to do the research myself. 😅🥶
Great video,not only good to watch but educational.
Well done Andy
Interesting project...Yeah, If it had been windy and/or rainy you would have to have retreated inside that one piece emergency tent shelter and called it a night! You were very brave to have stood upon that wobbly chopping block with an axe in your hand! The see-thru Mylar feature was like having skylights.
It's like a Christmas wrapping nightmare, I mean, I hate wrapping small parcels. This is my ideal hell, with the lid off, hats off to you Andy
Haha, definitely
LOL!
I was born in the London Hospital in May 1972 and after I popped out the nurse asked if they could use a new type of blanket that they were experimenting with. My mum said yes and then started having regrets when they wrapped me up with one of these. But, they reassured her that they worked well. She asked if anyone other babies had been wrapped in them and the nurse said no, not yet. My mum still wasn’t convinced so the nurse said that if it made her feel better they were going to monitor my temperature just to be safe. In the end she relented and I became a guinea pig for foil blankets. My Dad was insisting that they call me Edward because I looked like a baked potato but my Mum didn’t like the name. And apparently after a few hours and some checking they swapped back to a normal blanket! My mum wasn’t sure if they were a success or not but she told me that they didn’t seem too impressed with the results and I’ve never seen them used for babies since. So there you go, I probably shattered the dreams of some poor guy who thought a very big cheque from the NHS was in the pipeline! 😊😊
So… aren’t u a handy and imaginative fellow! So much enjoy watching and learning from you… will never put any skills I’ve seen to use, but sure enjoy watching you create. From Maine, US
I like the reflective blanket idea and the Japanese stove is a keeper. I'm sure that if you do a longer term camp, that you would have an A-frame shelter with the reflective material over the top and have poles in place to negate the wind. Thanks for the ideas!
I’m always amazed at the quantity of tools these survivalists manage to tote along
This was seriously freaking genius!!
Thank you Heather :D
Great to see hand made Haggis prrpared
Andy’s playing in the Wendy house again 😂 very original content 👍I’ve never seen someone making real haggis inside an emergency blanket before
I'm guessing you're not likely to see again either LOL!
You are the man. 👍
You win! No one is beating the authentic and audacity of making and eating haggis during your camp out. You really deserve a prize.
Happy Wednesday Andy I got to complement the video the shelter looks amazing hope your staying warm during these cold days and nights 😀👍
Thank you :)
👍 I have dug plenty of post holes in my life but never with a pristine brand-new post-hole digger. Very nice work on the shelter.
You deserved much more than one beer after building that shelter!
Haha, I agree
I visited Scotland in 2019 and quickly decided that Neck Oil is my favorite beer in the world.
Im loving the various items liek that cool portable stove/heater. Man, I want one of those!!! What a great idea using the emergency blankets as shelter. I love seeing the ways to use things for a little adventure.
You are ballsy to attempt this. Such a delicate fiddle-factor. What if the winds kicked up ? 😮. Good job! You made it!
Haha yeah, got lucky with the weather I think
That's where the idea of longer panels weighed with logs atound the bottom will help. And the grommets allow the bottom of the tarp to be tied to the logs. It sounds like work but the grommets just need a hammer to attach, only big enough to thread some paracord. Use a single length of cord to run thru the grommets, around the bottom log, like a shoelace. You need 2 grommet rows, one 6"above the other. Also pre-attach the panels to the poles, roll up, and roll out. Secure the skinny poles to the supports. Wrap the whole structure with paracord around it, secure with the grommets at poles to help keep the wind from being such a threat. Love your stuff.
Best chef on RUclips - I am not kidding.
I had haggis once in Scotland and I liked it, but we can't seem to find it here in Texas. That was a very unique shelter also. Thanks for the inspiration!
That's because true haggis is illegal to make in the USA...something about the FDA banning the use of all animal lung meats for fear that during slaughter it becomes contaminated with phlegm or stomach acids
It would have to be home made. US doesn’t allow haggis to be imported into the country.
I like to end my video viewing time by watching one of your videos I haven’t seen yet. It’s very relaxing and like spending time with a friend. Thanks for sharing your adventures. ☕️ 🫖
I love that you bring a big ol post hole digger but then bring a collapsible saw.
You are so chill and down to earth. It's mainly why I watch your vids. Keep em coming!
