    Missed this last week! I know I am late to the party but I didn't want to not comment. Always enjoy your posts Simon. But when you and Andy go adventuring, it's always so entertaining. Such sumptuous cooking! I don't know if I would tackle those dishes in my modern and well appointed kitchen, much less over a wood fire or camp stove. And I love the bed conversion in the Land Rover. The way everything just fit together and made such a comfy looking bed. It all looked so well done! You are a man of many talents, Simon! Take care and be safe out there. Looking forward to your next adventure! 👍👍☺☺🧡🧡

    Buy some big reusable dessicant bags and place them in a small open top container while packed away which is what I have done to help alleviate the mold and musty smell from my rooftop tent. Another product I use is damp rid but you have to be sure you have room for the little container to not spill as they collect moisture and trap it in the bottom. I also set my tent up and sprayed it with a canvas mold and mildew treatment and let dry really well. The tents are fantastic but do have the drawbacks you stated when not in a dry arid place. Keep the land rover camps coming!

    • @simonablokeinthewoods

    Great camp Simon. My 3rd great-grandfather left Preston, England in 1856 and came to the U.S. and joined a wagon train that landed his family in Arizona. He could do anything out in the wild. I think he would have enjoyed watching your videos.

    Hi lads this trip looks fun. It reminds me of my life on the farm as a kid driving a land rover not sure which one but it was late 60's. Ive always wanted my own.
    And Spam haven't had that for years. I also like the subtitles on all youtube videos not just yours , they seem to misinterpret some words.
    But it's good to see another good vid of good mates enjoying good food in a great location.

    Hi Simon,
    another great vid. As for the roof tent smelling and musty, if you can smell it, the mould spores are in the air inside, and could be a health hazard. If you find mould inside, leave it all open to air, and remove the mould. But i`m sure you already know that?.

    Alu Cab do a full roof conversion that may not be as bad as you could pop the Roof and air it with air from the inside of the Landy. I have recently watched a Couple Convert their Landy and they had to upgrade the Struts to take the extra weight that they were putting on top of the roof. As they had Solar Panels and a custom roof rack to take said panels and two surfboards below that, with room for some large watertight boxes. With that system you would still be able to choose where to sleep or just enjoy the extra head room with the roof up.
    Cracking Video as always and really enjoyable when you team up with Andy.

    I love landies…..took one over East Africa and always liked tinkering and customising. Or should I say, they always NEED tinkering and customising, but that’s the charm that comes with owning one. They always show a bit of character…..like the rear left, automatic open and closing door character that yours showed while leaving camp. Great camp, Simon. Thanks for sharing, inspired me to pack and head out in my Ally canoe tomorrow for a weekend paddle and camp. Keep the videos coming!

    I'm so happy I discovered your channel, and Andy's as well. I live in the U.S, in Oregon specifically. I'm about to turn 77, and I've been wild camping since my 20s. That said, even old dogs can learn new tricks, and I've learned a few from you that will make my trips easier. I intend to continue wild camping (always solo, I might add) until I can no longer walk upright & carry a backpack. Nice job with your videos, and be safe out there!
