It is perhaps just me.....I always find I'm saying to the laptop I watch Simon's videos on, as Simon walks or drives away..."you've forgotten your camera!!"..... So good to see your hard work in practice. Always inspiring. Thanks Simon.
I like the road noise as it makes me feel like I’m right there with ya having a Wee ration pack. We jjst love hanging with ya doesn’t matter where or how long sir
You sir are a legend when I was recovering from a major heart attack in hospital I used to watch your videos and they were so uplifting ♥ god bless you and your family 👪
You definitely have the space in your Land Rover figured out. So compact and practical. How fun to have put this together. Always making it your own is the key. Thank you for your wonderfully entertaining videos Simon. Keep up the fine work. With love and respect from Minnesota, USA❤️
A great idea for sure. It would certainly save me some space in my little Vauxhall Combo van BUT,,, where would I fix it up to that’s going to be strong enough 🤔🤔
This is one of my favorite Simon videos. Have watched it several times over. Love to see what's in the ration packs. Snug as a bug in a rug in the Landy by the mill pond.
Very nice simple set up there Simon. My grandparents converted an H plate 1970 long wheel base 2 birth Landy with a capstan winch in which they toured around in. Shipped it to South Africa and America, drove to Morocco and North Capp. Loved it as a kid, was fascinated by the levers and loved the blue diesel light! They were living the van life in the 70’s😂
Just got round to watching. Top video Simon! Love the conversion you’ve done to it. Still working on mine but got distracted. Back to it soon hopefully! 😆
Being from Minnesota, I enjoy watching your videos and experience the UK from your eyes. Once in awhile, you provide clues on your location or show us on the map. I’m happy to say, I found the road park that you enjoyed your stealth evening. Thanks for bring us along. Skillet
I love this stealthy unit you have built. It's perfect for just what you're doing. Travel light, travel fast. I wish you could bring it to north America. This would do well in the states and Canada.
Amazing how you have converted the Land Rover looks better equipped than some caravans 🤣. Very entertaining for us and that place is so picturesque. A great watch who needs TV?
That is better than most hotels. The magnets for the cups is a class idea. So simple and the hammock... I never would have guessed you were about to whip out a hammock 😄 Fair play again Simon, fantastic video as usual. All the best 👍 Jason
I've loved this set up from when you first posted your "Off Grid Adventure Wagon" video a year ago. And you've only made it better. The crowning glory however is the canoe paddle shifter knob! Love it! I wish they sold these old Defenders where I live in Canada. You can order them in from out of country by some specialist dealers but they cost a small fortune. Thanks for another great video Simon. ATB from Nova Scotia 🇨🇦 - Darby
Simon, you always have the best music of late. The banjo and country swing is just top notch, makes me appreciate your videos all the more. Good to close the curtains as you don’t want traffic getting a reflection of that marvelous chrome dome if you remove your hat. Texas
What?? You question the excellence of the Palace of the Nine Virtues the magnificent Travelodge? Next you’ll be doubting the apogee of culinary excellence The Little Chef. Hang on I’ve a feeling the nettles I picked for my tea might have been more exotic.
Simon why not think about making your own power oak station.Would be a good watch like all your other videos .All your stuff is amazing and very addictive. Keep up the good work .
Simon, well done on showing off the Rover. Thats a Working Man's DIY camping rig. All the luxuries without the huge price tag. Beautiful, because form follows function.
Hats off to the versatility and ingenuity you pit on display with this rover build. Its an absolute treat to see it in use and all the little improvements along the way. Keep up the awesome adventures and thanks as always for sharing in the experience! Take care and be well.
I like the Land Rover conversion, no blingy stuff, just simple and practical. And I can't wait to learn what U and Andy are up to on the next adventure 😀👍
I love the hammock setup like that, I am going to look in to doing the same in the back of my transit custom. Got a rocknroll bed in already, but would be great to have this extra option in as well
New sub. great to see the hammock in use! I do not have a bed at home, after a mouse infestation ate the darn thing, and have slept in a hammock for over 10 years. When i had a Lysander (19foot sailboat) I used the traditional sleeping arrangement, far better and more comfortable than a solid bed, and you never get thrown out when a boats wash throws you about!
SPLENDID. The conversion is even more complete. You demonstrate that a homeless person with a pension could live comfortably. At the START of the video, it was more: SIMON BLOKE ON THE MOTORWAY.😊 You and Andy can compare setups! Looking forward to it.
Yaay! A much anticipated camp with the Land-rover! I enjoyed this very much. Looks like such a great way to camp for a change of pace. Glad you & Andy can get together for camp! Look forward to it.
Hi Simon, 😊 that looks ok to me mate, it's got all your basic needs, apart from a loo,lol. And the rat pack didn't look too bad either, thanks for taking us along, I'm looking forward to the next one, stay safe mate, best wishe's to you and your's, Stuart uk.
I can just see you inadvertently having “stealth camped” in the local dogging hotspot and it turning into an amateur filmmakers symposium… the curtains on the Defender must have done some twitching!!! 😂 Ecstatic screams of “Oh Boi” filled the night sky as Simon kindly whipped out the hot chocolate… 🤣🤣🤣
I can’t speak for Oh Boy’s properties as an aphrodisiac but I’m told the best thing to do is just dim the lights, pour hot chocolate and ahem give it to her. She should be singing “I believe in miracles” in no time at all… 😂
Out doggin again nope think not!. Only joking Simon great location with peaceful scenery as you said shame about traffic noise good to see Kent survival on board with a comment
Thanks Simon👌 A simple overnighter gets the serotonin flowing here (let alone you!)😎 Safe journey and I look forward to the two perspectives of your jaunt with Andy @kentsurvival👏
Reminds me on the rare occasion I have to have a night out in the truck in work. No sink or shelves but I do have a night heater.. the rest is what I would carry in a rucksack. Happy days 🇬🇧🤘🚚
Awesome set up, Simon! Very functional and cozy, will have to go back over your conversion videos and take some notes to implement those bright ideas into our toyota previa. Thanks for sharing your stealth camp with us!
You so lucky to be male, your able to do that overnighter, as a female I couldn't. You did a great job on the Landover. I see the new doors you had talked about. Great over nighter there young man. Can't wait to see what all you and Andy get up to. Thank you for the video, you stay safe and Take Care. 👍👍👍👍👍
While it may not look luxurious, your conversion looks exceptionally functional! But that is no surprise from A Bloke in the Woods! Also happy to hear you're meeting up with Andy. Will look forward to that video if you are filming it!. Stay safe and Healthy Simon. Cheers!
It is perhaps just me.....I always find I'm saying to the laptop I watch Simon's videos on, as Simon walks or drives away..."you've forgotten your camera!!"..... So good to see your hard work in practice. Always inspiring. Thanks Simon.
Camping with Simon is like a luxury version of Camping with Steve!
Without the step 2 😂
😂😂
Hahahah oh my gosh and I’m hooked on both God bless ‘em
I like the road noise as it makes me feel like I’m right there with ya having a Wee ration pack. We jjst love hanging with ya doesn’t matter where or how long sir

Only just found your channel. Thanks to Kent survival. You've got a nice little set up. I'll watch the conversion videos over the weekend.👍👍👍. Cheers.
You've picked the perfect vehicle for rural stealth camping! Just another old land rover......blends right in! 😁 Very cosy and comfy too.
The hammock is a great solution to the space problem
Never would have thought of it
A great idea for sure. It would certainly save me some space in my little Vauxhall Combo van BUT,,, where would I fix it up to that’s going to be strong enough 🤔🤔

Nice! Great memories 😁
Great idea for the sink and the water
Just got round to watching. Top video Simon! Love the conversion you’ve done to it. Still working on mine but got distracted. Back to it soon hopefully! 😆
Hammock and a converted Landy!
How to make a man jealous!!
Great setup.
Cool hammock setup - easy pack away when not needed.
Excellent area, came along way with the Range Rover, well done!..ATB

This guy knows how to live in the wild , that’s for sure ❤
❤️ finally!! I really like that hammock.
Simon you're the man......keep on enjoying life.
Now you have everything...including the kitchen sink. Fantastic video mate. Cheers.
That’s the coolest stealth camper ever! Love it! Driving on the left side of the road freaked me out though!
Bloody love your Land Rover Simon!
Watching this just makes me smile. The best kind of video.
I'm not a car person but that conversion is fabulous 😍
I can only describe your Land Rover as bloody splendid!!
Top job Simon! Love it, hammock, dog bowl, magnets all genius touches. 😎
Really enjoyed this video. yeah, more of these countryside's are brilliant. Cheers.
Amusing seeing you emerge from the vehicle with a hot cup of coffee after doing a stealth overnight. Enjoyed the video !! Thanks.
That swivel chair setup is great .. still toying with the idea of lowering my rear bulkhead and trying that. 👍
Amazing how you have converted the Land Rover looks better equipped than some caravans 🤣. Very entertaining for us and that place is so picturesque. A great watch who needs TV?
Awesome stealth camp! Really like the set up with the hammock and kitchen! Thanks for another great video!
The dog bowl as a sink is an ingenious idea
Awesome video like your converted stealthy Land Rover excellent workmanship on your land rover thanks for a fantastic video Simon.
Great video.👍👍👍 That’s one nice Land Rover . Great setup 👍👍👍
What a lovely place to stop, and a fantastic conversion to the LR, i'd be very happy with a truck like that
The ration pack hot chocolate is off the scale tasty! 👍
Lovely little stop. So cool that you comfy in it.
Awesome buddy awesome.. love the land rover.. look forward to next vid .. cheers Chris & Sam
De France. Merci Simon pour ces sympathiques vidéos.
Merci!
That is better than most hotels. The magnets for the cups is a class idea. So simple and the hammock... I never would have guessed you were about to whip out a hammock 😄 Fair play again Simon, fantastic video as usual. All the best 👍 Jason
Good to see the Land Rover out and about simon 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Thank you Simon. Love your set up and it’s simplicity.
Look forward to seeing more of your stealthy camping travels.

Love what you did with the Rover, total comfort 😉🤙🤙🤙

What a great build.
Better than a Travelodge mate ;) haha
Don’t say he’s done a Bear Ghrylls!!! 🤣
What?? You question the excellence of the Palace of the Nine Virtues the magnificent Travelodge? Next you’ll be doubting the apogee of culinary excellence The Little Chef. Hang on I’ve a feeling the nettles I picked for my tea might have been more exotic.
Great video mate as always really like your land rover conversion is it’s 300 tdi or td5 ?
Looks like Home away from home to me Simon. Perfect way to travel and save lots of Money...lol. Great video!
Simon why not think about making your own power oak station.Would be a good watch like all your other videos .All your stuff is amazing and very addictive. Keep up the good work .
Simon, well done on showing off the Rover. Thats a Working Man's DIY camping rig. All the luxuries without the huge price tag. Beautiful, because form follows function.
My doorstep Simon! The wife kayaks from that very spot. Lovely place.
Paddle shift gear knob Simon very apt 🛶👏👏👏👍 I love the fact you can get the hammock hooked inside 👏👌👍
Hats off to the versatility and ingenuity you pit on display with this rover build. Its an absolute treat to see it in use and all the little improvements along the way. Keep up the awesome adventures and thanks as always for sharing in the experience! Take care and be well.
Great video as always. Love the commitment to the end shot -driving off and leaving the camera behind 😀
lovely. 10 minutes from my house :) great video
Great wee video.Love what you have done to the defender,looks nice and cozy with the curtains drawn.
I like the Land Rover conversion, no blingy stuff, just simple and practical. And I can't wait to learn what U and Andy are up to on the next adventure 😀👍
Hello Simon I am so happy to see that you have a new one up. Can’t wait to get into it to see what’s up.
Great job,the hammock is a game changer for the space you have,loving your adventures!
Awesome convertion on that rig, very cool my friend 🤠
Great set up. Happy travels.
Thanks for getting it out before you go to the pub!😀
😉🍻😂
As far as "road noise", when you're sleeping, I've used ear plugs for over 35 years. They really do the trick, and cut you off from the outside world.
I love the hammock setup like that, I am going to look in to doing the same in the back of my transit custom. Got a rocknroll bed in already, but would be great to have this extra option in as well
It's a treat to watch your videos after a long time. As always love your videos. Keep'em coming sir !!
Love your Defender and your videos!
Another great video. Thanks for sharing it with us.
Cracking video mate been looking forward for the upload hopefully another video with Kent survival 👌

Very relaxing video to watch
Super scenic area. A painting in that for sure! The rover redo is fun! Room on floor for you son? Wow! It appears other boondockers too. Thanks
In American terms.Totally Awesome
Looks like the Landy is perfectly set up now! Great film, thanks for sharing. 🖖👍👊
Very nice and efficient.
Yaay! A much anticipated camp with the Land-rover! I enjoyed this very much. Looks like such a great way to camp for a change of pace. Glad you & Andy can get together for camp! Look forward to it.
Great video Simon , thanks . Looking forward to part 2 .
Hi Simon, 😊 that looks ok to me mate, it's got all your basic needs, apart from a loo,lol. And the rat pack didn't look too bad either, thanks for taking us along, I'm looking forward to the next one, stay safe mate, best wishe's to you and your's, Stuart uk.
I like that Land Rover Wohnmobil very much.
Cheers
nice looking narrowboats
That's a great setup you've got there sir...
A really beautiful spot, and a lovely video
Love the earth magnet idea. Thanks, Simon. 👍🙂

Hahaha - that’d be a different kind of video! 🤣
Aha! Thought I’d seen that Tilly hat making an appearance elsewhere! 🤣
@@tomwilson6915 oh aye, what you been watching Tom 😂
Oh you know bud just the exotic ones you keep forwarding to me on WhatsApp from your Dan cave 😂
That’s a fine setup you have Simon, pretty much all that you need.
Greetings from Ontario Canada , nice to see you out and about and meeting up with your mate Andy ! Enjoy .
Out doggin again nope think not!.
Only joking Simon great location with peaceful scenery as you said shame about traffic noise good to see Kent survival on board with a comment
Awesome, looking forward to this
What a fantastic set up! Everything you need right at hand, really enjoyed this one.
Love it Simon awesome that was!!!!!!
Thanks Simon👌 A simple overnighter gets the serotonin flowing here (let alone you!)😎 Safe journey and I look forward to the two perspectives of your jaunt with Andy @kentsurvival👏
Reminds me on the rare occasion I have to have a night out in the truck in work. No sink or shelves but I do have a night heater.. the rest is what I would carry in a rucksack. Happy days 🇬🇧🤘🚚
Awesome set up, Simon! Very functional and cozy, will have to go back over your conversion videos and take some notes to implement those bright ideas into our toyota previa. Thanks for sharing your stealth camp with us!
Another great Vid , we look forward to your films , makes our week 😄😄😄😄
Nice to see you again Simon.
Have been waiting for this one Simon and have thoroughly enjoyed it can't wait to see more land rover overnighter well done matey.
Nice car camping video., your land rover works out really good
You so lucky to be male, your able to do that overnighter, as a female I couldn't. You did a great job on the Landover. I see the new doors you had talked about. Great over nighter there young man. Can't wait to see what all you and Andy get up to.
Thank you for the video, you stay safe and Take Care. 👍👍👍👍👍
Thank you Gail!
I don’t see why you couldn’t do this as a female - select your location carefully, keep a low profile, lock the doors for security 👍
Always pleased to see a new video pop up Simon. Thanks. Like a mental break for me. Keep it up from a fellow East Anglian!
While it may not look luxurious, your conversion looks exceptionally functional! But that is no surprise from A Bloke in the Woods! Also happy to hear you're meeting up with Andy. Will look forward to that video if you are filming it!. Stay safe and Healthy Simon. Cheers!
Always the river Nen. My local river too. I watched your conversion, works really well👍
Thanks for sharing.
Cheers Simon 🍻
