Andy, I was a subscriber when you only have a few hundred of them. You have a come such a long way with y our personal growth as a "film maker", narration, and content. Your channel deserves all the success you get with it and as always, will look forward to all your adventures, be they near from home, or far far away!
Strange to realize it's been 4 and a half or more years since we first had the pleasure to watch Andy (I found him through MRE reviews and Atomic Shrimp 😂).. Been a absolute pleasure
Wind down for bed for me after a hectic day. There could not have been anything better video for me on RUclips than this. However, the breakfast was torture to watch for this ex pat Andy. When I get back to the UK my first go to is haddock and chips, the second bacon and eggs! Keep these videos coming Andy!
Hello, My brother and I just finished watching this video and have to say how amazing your woodland shelter seems to us. The firepit and grate, the wood stove, the shelter itself are all wonderful. We are older men of 71 years and would love to have a place such as this to spend time away from the noise of the world. Your creation has a magical quality to it, an almost shaman quality. Your spirit and quality are very much revealed in your unique shelter and also in your presentation. You have no idea how much I wanted to eat the chicken and the egg sandwich! A real joy to watch!! Would love to see more of your offerings!! Thank you! Greg and Chris
So cozy to have the stove in the leanto. I think that should be a regular feature. Beautiful drone footage. Love seeing you smiling and enjoying your little home away from home.
Hey Andy , the shelter is slowly morphing into the landscape i'm guessing it must be nigh on invisible from most directions now. Breakfast idea's.Nasi Lemat. Malaysian snack/breakfast dinner with a variety of ingredients and /or style's . Brilliant as always, ATVB2U , Scott Somerset
Andy! ALWAYS look forward to watching your videos. Nice to watch when I’m having a crazy week. Always relaxing to watch you! And learning so much from you! ❤️❤️. We have a large off grid property. I’m learning to make shelters from your videos
Your shelter is so comfortable looking. Would you put a tarp on the front to keep out the rain? Dinner, amazing as always. Doing a one month trial of RUclips premium. It’s wonderful not being interrupted my ads.
Always really enjoy watching this guy. What an amazing channel. It's very relaxing and I would imagine he is helping many people with PTSD struggles and helping many relax. Great guy, great cook, great creator and builder. Cannot go wrong.
How about Breakfast burritos? Corned beef hash? You haven’t done biscuits and gravy in a long time. Steak and eggs, Omelettes? Since you like French toast there is a French toast bake, it’s a casserole with French toast bits and sausage! It would be amazing with some Cumberland sausages!!
When splitting up your firewood on The chopping block have you ever tried standing your wood up on the block or about a third of the wood is hanging off over the side? Makes it split a lot easier from no resistance under one side of your wood pushing back at you instead of peeling off. 👍🏻🇺🇲
Andy, If you want to keep your fire going through a bit of rain, put the grill over the fire and put flat rocks on it. Even if you pile on small ones, the rain will steam off of the hot stones and your fire will not go out.
Loving the videos and have a few questions. If wild camping is illegal in England...are you camping on common ground? Or forestry land? How did you get permission to build your shelter? What if someone else was using it when you arrived???!
I agree not an Asian hornet, Hornet or not, I don't understand the need to kill it to remove it from your shelter, I've caught wasps, bee's, spiders etc. Many times with my billy can and moved them from my shelter and away from harm. I don't get the point in heading out in to nature and killing something your not going to eat.
@@snorkherder Yeah, I broadly agree. But I do agree with killing Asian hornets if you correctly identify them. They aggressively kill honey bees and other bees that are the primary pollinators of our food. They are mass-murderers of the little good guys. One AH can easily take out an entire hive of honey bees. You could make the argument that if in doubt, kill anyway as the European hornet is common and can tolerate the loss and better to be mistaken than let an AH escape. I dont know about that, as mentioned above the AH are fortunately super rare, for now at least. Better I think to take a picture of it with your phone, GPS mark the location and report the sighting to the gov. I think there is a web page for it.
@@Martyntd5 I agree with your stance and what to do about invasive hornets, I've followed this channel for years and love the vids, it does sadden me though when the old "swat the bothersome insect" scenario happens. I thought it was about leave no trance ?, Thanks for the reply :)
@@snorkherder Yeah, again I broadly agree, but in this case I think killing the hornet even if you've got the ID wrong, is reasonable. If I hadn't got a phone or had no signal, and I genuinely thought it was ...or even might be an AH, then I very well might give it the heel of my boot.
@@TheFLOMAN76 It really does seem peaceful.. It's just so tough to get started! But watching these videos has certainly given me confidence to try especially bc my husband and I just moved to 10 acres and part of it is wooded. NOW IS MY CHANCE!!
stunning camp bro that build you made is just amazing what a great little camp stunning bro keep up the good camping vid thay are just so good and the food you cook is amazing i whatched it being built when you did and was stunning hard graft
I've found that while a scotch bonnet or habanero might be hot when fresh once they are cooked they tend to lose a lot of that heat. At least that's what I noticed when making jerk chicken with fresh peppers.
You are one of the best on RUclips Andy. Thank you for letting us all ride along. And your collaboration 's with the S bloke are amazing. It's obviously the friendship is genuine and shines like the sun! Thanks again to the both of you.
I really enjoy your videos. I find them very intertaining and informative.Hope to see more on this channel and your review channell. Will you be doing any more videos with Simon in the near future ?
Just thinking about all the cool shelters you've built over the years. This one seems quite like the ones in Sweden on the first trip. Well thought out so that it's a place to sit as well as to get out of the weather. If it was really bad, you could drop a tarp. Yes, french toast is good, you've done pancakes and of course eggs, Simon just did waffles made from canned biscuits; I'd imagine there are a lot of products that would make a hearty breakfast. You'll come up with some good ideas; you've a knack for that! Thanks for another terrific video.
You and Corporal's Corner have been very instructive and inspiring. I'm moving from Florida to Colorado in a couple of weeks and I am looking forward to really getting stuck in over there. Thanks for all you do and cheers from across the Pond.
If you add a stone backstop/reflector to your fire pit you will find that it will heat that shelter much nicer especially in the colder months. I love the shelter and am really interest to see it used in the colder months and the upgrades you will make.
Andy your videos are so good for the soul, I look forward to them every week, great set up you've got there. I've been watching since you first started, you've come such a long way, well done mate. 👏
I love this!! Cant get enough of this shelter set up! I especially love the lanterns and the leather covers. I am going to order one of those lanterns asap!!
The more I see the woodland shelter the more I appreciate the work that has gone into it. Well done Andy. I think someone in previous posts suggested a waterproof roll up/roll down 'door' for the shelter, which is detachable for those really bad nights. Maybe heavy waxed canvas? Just a great place to be. It brings us as much pleasure as it does you. 👍
Only the 2nd video of yours I have watched. You had me hooked until you put ketchup on your breakfast sandwich! Just kidding… really enjoyed your video. I’ll be watching more.

Love your videos Andy! Shame you killed a beautiful (and native!) hornet in this one though - they're fantastic and misunderstood little beasties, much-needed pollinators. Keep up the good work though, nice to have you back after your Scandi adventures!
Make some Shakshuka for breakfast. Every recipe is slightly different but basically the same too. Fix to taste. It's not any more difficult to make than anything else you cook and it's delicious! I love it with a bit of hummus on the side and some pita bread. You will get addicted.
European Hornets are a bit unfairly maligned. They have have a frightening appearance but they're unlikely to sting, in fact they'll quite often bump into you as a warning rather stinging if you go too close to their nests. They're also don't wipe out colonies of bees like some of their relatives do. I had one land on my arm when I was asleep on the train once. I brushed it off (on the second attempt they're quite substantial). I probably would have gotten stung if that was bee or wasp. Definitely an unnerving experience though.
Andy do you have a plan to improve more on that shelter or put some addition in the future? Btw, another great video and overnighter with some delicious food. Happy Halloween! 🎃
nice idea with the stove 😊 looks like it worked too! that food looked lovely! made me hungry just watching! a q about the cabin, are you going to make a door... secured shut while away over winter for example, then perhaps use as an extension roof at the front? cheers andy!
The little stove set up actually worked out really well! Nice and cozy, and you're able to throw wood in it easily from where you lay. Love watching your vids, they're so relaxing.
I've only recently discovered you on here Andy. I'm loving your videos so much, everything...the bushcraft, your cooking, your lovely calming demeanor and the chillness of it all. I'm looking forward to getting stuck into all of your previous videos. Thank you!
You make it look so easy and fun , I wish I could do this but because of injuries and arthritis I’m unable, keep making them , ps the rain videos are the best !
Hi andy we keep watching all your videos, very inspirational on getting people outdoors We are getting into wild camping with our boys Keep the vids coming 👍🏼👍🏼
Love your videos Andy, and I am looking forward to my annual fall camping trip to the Pisgah National Forest next month. Come across the pond and let us host you in North Carolina!

Nothing too fancy ,nothing too crazy.. .still just quality content ...Andy ❣
thank you very much :)
Sweet cozy little nest .
I love how you keep returning to this shelter. I remember watching the build video of it. It's one of my favorite designs for personal use.
When you and Simon team up, that's the best. I would love to camp with you guys, but I live in the USA. 60 years old and only 629.00 a month SSI
Simply beautiful video!

Great shelter & fire pit you have to camp in. Best thing about fall camping is no bugs!! Looking forward to your next video
Another great video Andy I enjoy watching ur camping 🏕 cooking videos.. 🙂🤠
Being lost and walking up on this place at night with those lanterns glowing and that ram's skull hanging there, would get me to moving along.
Nice Videos, Hooked to them since Lockdown..By bringing nature to our houses you are doing a great job!
Thank you :D very happy to help
Absolutely love your vids. Thank you for taking the time and effort to make this video. God bless.
Watching other people process wood is great. There is the satisfaction of seeing the results, and my back doesn't hurt after. Lol
Andy! ALWAYS look forward to watching your videos. Nice to watch when I’m having a crazy week. Always relaxing to watch you! And learning so much from you! ❤️❤️. We have a large off grid property. I’m learning to make shelters from your videos
Nothing says wakin' like eggs and bacon. Another fun video Andy. Thank you.
Hi Andy, good to see you back at the shelter. Always a joy to see you building new items. Dinner looked very tasty. Thanks for sharing. Take care.
Thanks Yvonne, great to have this little shelter to visit
Those portable wood stoves are the greatest thing since sliced bread 🍞🙂
My perfect trip, bliss 👍
Thank you for an awesome camp out. Your shelter is sooo perfect
Your shelter is so comfortable looking. Would you put a tarp on the front to keep out the rain? Dinner, amazing as always. Doing a one month trial of RUclips premium. It’s wonderful not being interrupted my ads.
Yay! Back at the cabin! And it appears that the live roof is still alive.
Aw man, you cheated! ^-^
Next project. Build a roof over the fire pit. I used some old secondhand scaffolding and a few sheets of corrugated metal.
Always really enjoy watching this guy. What an amazing channel. It's very relaxing and I would imagine he is helping many people with PTSD struggles and helping many relax. Great guy, great cook, great creator and builder. Cannot go wrong.
I don't have PTSD but I do have stress issues and watching Andy is like therapy honest to goodness 🙂
Yea he’s the best one out of the camping videos.
This man is helping me through my grieving. It some how comforts me⛺️ 3:50
How about Breakfast burritos? Corned beef hash? You haven’t done biscuits and gravy in a long time. Steak and eggs, Omelettes? Since you like French toast there is a French toast bake, it’s a casserole with French toast bits and sausage! It would be amazing with some Cumberland sausages!!
Oh that chicken looks so good. Hot hot hot !

Love your videos reminds me of camping with my family in the early 60s near Lone Pine Ca at the base of Mount Whitney was all free then sadly no more
I say old boy, bloody good show.
Loving the videos and have a few questions. If wild camping is illegal in England...are you camping on common ground? Or forestry land? How did you get permission to build your shelter? What if someone else was using it when you arrived???!
Thank you for sharing yet another awesome video 🌞
That's not an invasive Asian hornet, I'm pretty sure it's our one and only native.
Considering there are only 2 confirmed sightings of Asian Hornets in the UK this year I'm also siding with you this was a European species.

I love watching your videos (never been camping in my life lol)! Thanks for making quality content, it's so peaceful. Glad you have your little oasis.
You... NEED.. to get out!
Doesn't have to be expensive camp gear.
Just what you need to have a good time!!
Your soul craves it and you know it!
You are missing out. Camping is an excellent way to relax and de stress
@@TheFLOMAN76 It really does seem peaceful.. It's just so tough to get started! But watching these videos has certainly given me confidence to try especially bc my husband and I just moved to 10 acres and part of it is wooded. NOW IS MY CHANCE!!
Enjoyed this immensely Andy. New subscriber here.

You never know Andy, one day you might have a mighty white oak growing from your shelter! How cool would that be right?
lol..we do backpacking, and our meal is only Noodle or backpacking dry food..not fancy..not dealing with cook..
Only the 2nd video of yours I have watched. You had me hooked until you put ketchup on your breakfast sandwich! Just kidding… really enjoyed your video. I’ll be watching more.
Banjo sarnie for brekkie!
This is a great video for campers to input more camping knowledge. In addition, the sauce you make looks delicious.😋
Love the vids u put out keep it up Andy
Thanks Dave :D
Keep up the good work Andy I’ve been watching your channel for a couple of years now, I love seeing the old country👍 watching from Australia now 🇦🇺

Keep it up mate, always a pleasure
Thanks Samson :D
Thats wot she said
I just love the colours of Autumn, that shelter is great, I’ve seen you progress with it. Would you put a roll up/down tarp or door over the front?
Real man would have made slug in blankets ! With mustard...yummy
always go for polis bacon mate lived there ten years they knwo about bacon
Awesome video Andy! Ahhh I've been wearing your hoodie all week and get asked about it. Very proud to represent! 💯🖖🤘🍻
You're such an inspiration for people who are interested go out camping of this nature.. thanks for sharing these wonderful videos with us..
In a crazy world we now live, its truly so nice to sit in peace and quiet, and enjoy your excellent content! thanks soo much

Also not an invasive species unless you mean specifically in your shelter.
It’s a great cabin you’ve built but the best thing is the fire pit and grill where did you get that from please
My favourite part is always making dinner. You're such an amazing cook! 😋 Thanks for the adventures - culinary and more 🏞
Man, that chicken looks gooooood especially outside camping on the open fire!
I think this is the best video you're ever done. Great work, thank you
That shelter has weathered in nicely, and that fire pit is superb.
Nice to see you out and about in the wilderness my friend. A great video as usual.
Andy do you have a plan to improve more on that shelter or put some addition in the future? Btw, another great video and overnighter with some delicious food. Happy Halloween! 🎃
Hey Andy where can I find that lantern cover you have in all your vids …… do you have a link for purchase ? Thanks and have a great day …….👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
nice idea with the stove 😊 looks like it worked too!
that food looked lovely! made me hungry just watching!
a q about the cabin, are you going to make a door... secured shut while away over winter for example, then perhaps use as an extension roof at the front?
cheers andy!
nice camp, did the stove keep you warm in the shelter??
Fascinating. You make it look so simple and easy.

Sorry for not knowing the answer but is this shelter on his land, rented land or on public land? A thank you to ever answers my question.
❤
You make it look so easy and fun , I wish I could do this but because of injuries and arthritis I’m unable, keep making them , ps the rain videos are the best !
you always eat like a king! I couldn't think of a better day night and morning. That camp is home from home. looks so cosy. cheers!
Ps do you get all your supply's from the onsite camp shop LOL
That cabin is Brilliant absolutely Brilliant 😀
Зачем вам эта будка без дверей и окон??? Как строитель молодец👍
Another very relaxing, enjoyable video sir. I really like your cabin. I would be tempted to stay out there. Stay safe.
You make me laugh, just like that, i might a chair. Ha ha easy for you, i would nt have a clue.
Hi andy we keep watching all your videos, very inspirational on getting people outdoors
We are getting into wild camping with our boys
Keep the vids coming 👍🏼👍🏼
Hi. Make a door for the winter, or stretch the sheet. Greetings from Slovakia
Love your videos Andy, and I am looking forward to my annual fall camping trip to the Pisgah National Forest next month. Come across the pond and let us host you in North Carolina!
