When to cash the pension. Bloody anxiety. What do you think the army is playschool? The clue is in the word. The higher you get in the ranks, and you obviously will not, you would get anxious. An unexploded device in Afghan, an unhappy relative in southern Ireland because you ignored the borders. Man up you wimp and don't disgrace the real Army.
Woah. I started watching your videos maybe half a year ago. You really changed a lot Andy. But I think in a positive and healthy way, definitely very confident. You can be really proud of yourself. I really love your videos and I'm thankful for you sharing all of this. You've got such a soothing and sympathetic attitude. It's really relaxing and always feels like I'm being with you on your adventure. I love being outdoors. Thanks for being you ☺️😊
I like this guy, he's honest. Its kinda dangerous if you don't have experience dealing with snow storms. Its late April, here north of Montreal we had 11 inches of snow 2 weeks ago, yesterday was 82F. Wild weather swings but we know how to deal with deep snow, mainly don't go into it. Without snow shoes, you can get yourself dead fast. 2 years ago we had a few nights at 40F below zero, it doesn't feel cold, it feels evil. How the deer survive is a mystery, snow 4 feet deep. I wild camped behind my couch.
Thanks for bringing me along with you on your winter over-nighter. I'm too old and infirmed to do this myself, so I appreciate being able to experience it vicariously through your camera lens.
I was freezing watching this! Another cracking video, I know it is quite an old one but i am slowly working my way through them in any order and enjoying them all. Of all the survival type videos I have seen somehow you and your way of making the videos make me so much more relaxed and comfortable watching them. Thanks for doing them.
As an older guy I find it very heart warming that more and more younger guys, and some gals too, are taking up outdoor activities such as this video portrays. Well done! You have a new sub.
It warms my heart to see other cold weather campers going out on solo adventures. It helps me realize I'm not as crazy as everyone says I am. Keep it up bro. It's never to cold to camp.
Andy provides an assortment of fantastic bushcraft skills and adventures for all the family to enjoy,if this is your thing.i for one enjoy watching your videos andy,and appreciate your teachings.cant wait for summer I will be attempting my first try at bushcraft.keep going andy these are essential skills and knowledge that we should all know.
When the beast broke out from the East 2 years ago (when you filmed this great vid) a friend and I were on Exmoor Devon/Somerset border, under 4x4 tarp , with a firepit blazing to the wee small hours, seeing your vid brought some cracking memories, although you are much more organised and deffo a better cook. thanks for waking the sleeping dragon. love all your work to date, stay safe .
Great video. Very honest and informative. Thank you for sharing. I heard a story about a Boy Scout leader preparing for a winter overnight camp with the boys and their fathers. He was approached by one of the dads who commented that he had never slept in a sleeping bag before . Amazed by the remark, the scout master reassured the father. Where upon the dad again remarked with a grin. “ yea I’ve never slept in a sleeping bag. Tossed and turned in em many times though”. Have a great day, and keep the videos coming.
6 years and 740,000 followers later!!!! Never realised you had a beard! Been watching you for 6 months or so , only just thought to look up your old videos ! Gonna have to binge watch all these old ones now !
You could save a lot of work by cutting the wood in longer pieces which would still drag easily with the sled. Also you can save a lot cutting by burning the long pieces in half and then restack them on the fire as they burn in half. that's an old trick from 45 years of motorcycle camping. Like your videos.
I really enjoyed this. I grew up in northern New Hampshire, in a house on the edge of the woods, and enjoyed adventures and misadventures of this sort in my dad's company. Very relaxing, all this attention focussed in the "here and now". But very encouraging, too: if you can do it, why shouldn't I? Thanks for all the trouble it takes to share on video!
what i like about kent survival is that you film little mistakes and keep them in when you could edit them out like what most others would do just the things like kindlin and stuff 🖒
Really enjoy watching !! Wish I had done more of this !! To all the young people out there ! If you are watching, you must love this !! Get out there and do it while you are still young !! Be safe !!
I hope 51 ain't to old.. Love going in the woods. I spent the summer building a log cabin at one location. Still working on it. I have a few vids posted on it.
Have you thought about putting a scrapped piece of metal behind your fire?Carlisle195 uses one and it acts as a reflector and protection for your fence. Great video, thanks for sharing.
Hey, thank you for watching :) there is some scrap metal near by but Id like to keep the camp as natural as possible... thinking of a rebuild soon too :p
Really enjoyed that.Thanks. Top tip-when it's below zero;keep a proper water bottle(non-leaking variety!) in your jacket whilst awake and in your sleeping bag when sleeping.
Nice camping video. I would have done some things a bit differently. Like taking some hemp rope with me to use to haul long lengths of dead tree to the camp so as to have a lot more wood for heating and cooking. Also, dehydrated veggies as there was plenty of snow would have rehydrated the veggies for the meal. The chorizo is a great touch, plenty of fat and a good source of protein. Can't go wrong with that and especially in the winter, it cannot go bad. Dehydrated eggs along with onion and herbs and the chorizo would make an awesome breakfast too. If letting the fire go out, would keep the water bottle in bed with me. And the reason for the dehydrated veggies is that in case of getting snowbound, one can take a lot more food that way at a lot less weight. I've gone out on a lot of winter camps, my favorite as it is the quietest time to camp. And even did a winter camping honeymoon in northern arizona. not much snow, but that wind and cold was a challenge. So, just wanted to share with you as I've done this before and wanted to share what I know. Peace.
Hey, thanks for watching.. didn't have much time to prep for this one as the snow was quite brief unfortunately.. also the sleeping bag was full of batteries etc lol ATB - Andy
Nice one Andy 👌. The bug out truck looked cool driving through the snow. Good idea with the sledge mate, must have made your walk in a hole lot easier not having to carry all your kit. Thanks for sharing Andy. Atb Sconja 👍
Thanks mate, yeah.. was good driving in the snow.. the byways were busier than the roads with 4x4 enjoying the snow haha. pack kept falling off the sledge though haha
I’m a big fan Andy but found you later on in your bushcraft life. I think this is one of your best videos I’ve seen, I’ve always wanted to try a camp in the snow. I think I’ll give it a go after seeing this! Much love mate 👍🔥🏕🥶❄️☃️
Kent Survival best part I like about your channel is you interact with your subscribers not many do that and that’s awesome. Just order me a condor knife cuz of your videos can’t wait to get it and try it out soon cheers mate
nice.. you're love the condor.. lot of knife for the money, I take it with me all the time now. I love the comments, If people are taking the time to watch my videos and leave a comment I see it as only right to reply :) It is getting harder to keep track of who has said what though, but I do recognise names, I know who my regulars are :) cheers mate. let me know how you get on with the condor
You are good at what you do, your camping and cooking.I watch these videos from Canada and America and now yours from the uk keep up the good work ,from Newzealand.
Thumbs up!! 👍👍. Nice Vid! I thought I was the only crazy winter camper out there! I've got this down to a science now, but took a few years, and MONEY, to buy my own damn land! WwooooooooHhhhoooooooo!!!
Andy I've been watching your videos for over a year now on a ship I work on thankyou so much Andy this is one of your older videos and I was happy to hear you call our lorne sausage lorne thats an argument in Scotland from all the different shires lol thankyou Andy what a brilliant video in the snow storm
What a luxury. As a soldier. I was given a pup tent half. And no one to buddy up with. so a ground hugger was all I got. ( Tent half with field made stakes .) That was my home. An a artic sleeping bag. No fire. Still was comfy. On my guard post. Yours. That is a Hilton om. I like.
Long ago (about 35-40 years ago) when I was a Scoutmaster, one of our campouts was a long winter weekend in the Blue Mountains in Washington state. I and a couple of other dads taught the kids how to build (and survive in) igloos and snowy conditions. The kids always enjoyed those campouts.... almost as much as the dads did. One time, when the weather and the snow pack were just right we built an igloo that was big enough to sleep ten or twelve kids and two or three dads. These "kids" (now grown men) are now in their early 50's and will never forget those campouts. Now, I don't even like to shovel the sidewalks.
When the Beast from the East struck I was "between jobs". I was never more happy to lie in bed all day snuggled up to the cat listening to snow pelting the windows as the heating banged out some serious BTU's.... selfish but true
I have been bingeing and finally went back to here, he is a different Andy here. Long hair and beard 😮. Same attitude and demeanor, fabulous. It is way too cold to camp for me, 🥶.
Good video mate. Makes you think with all the gear we have for cold weather camps and all the homeless peeps out there with barely a sleeping bag to call their own.
Thanks chris... yeah, Its a very good point, Its like at festivals, half the people leave all there tents and sleeping bags, wonder what happens to all that... trashed im sure
Tips for spices are very good, thanks! I'm from Patagonia, Argentina, and never saw here that type of shelter camping, we only do it in tents. Very interesting videos
Nice video. I tell you from experience wellies are no good. Okay when you're walking far but p.d.cold otherwise. The best I found for snow are cotton traders "muck boots" I think they're called. Brilliant traction too. I never got cold feet in them. + so comfortable even for long walks.That and 2 pars of 3-tog socks =toasty feet. Those boots are liable to crack on the upper after a little while. No worries! I welded mine with a bit of melted flexible plastic sheeting. So far the weld is holding great, even through all the snow. If bthey crack again sometime I'll weld them again.
Wellington boots, or rubber boots, are widely used in Sweden, Finland and elsewhere in the winter. Regular summer or 3 season, and 'summer fit', wellington boots will not be very good in the cold though. There are special winter wellington boots with liners and insoles. If it is not exetremely cold you could also simply use regular wellington boots of a bigger size than normal and use thicker winter insoles and thicker wool socks. The concept of winter wellington boots is functional but I recommend models with liners and insoles that can be removed and dried separetely, rather than models with fixed lining which are difficult (or impossible) to dry out under field conditions. Some winter wellington type boot manufacturers: vikingfootwear.com/products/men/winter-boots www.nokianfootwear.com/men/ eu.tretorn.com/tretorn/rubber_boots?filter-gender2=men
Got into your channel watching more recent vids over the last 2 or so years. Imagine my surprise to click on a 5 year old video to see long hair and a beard!
I remember in 8th grade we got to go up on top of a mountain that was part of a ski Hill. And make snow caves in the large drifts. It was actually so warm the ceiling was dripping onto us. When you form the ceiling make it curved or it will slowly start coming down. When you wake and the ceiling is a couple inches from your snout it makes you want to get the heck out.
I always dreaming want touch a snow.... my dream before i getting Old is go to Alaska, its number 1 of my bucket list.....nort pole or somewhere that have a snow and Spent The night.....in the camp like u do in this video..... its must be super wonderfull.....i always dreaming to do that..... im really2 enjoy to watch your video... its like im feel the Cold in here....awesome video.... God bless you..... Greeting From Indonesia.....
Excellent video ,delicious food,good set up ,looks like your shelter is strong enough to withstand the beast from the east better than mine I've spent the last 2days rebuilding mine (lol) just to mention about snow being a good insulator I did a winter survival course in the cairngorm where I had to dig a snow cave it's surprising how warm you are when inside ,really enjoyable video andy thanks for sharing ♠
Shame about your camp but sometimes its an excuse to improve.. been thinking of a rebuild myself actually... Ive heard that about the snow caves, my friend tried to get me to do something like that but there just wasnt enough of it haha. Thanks for watching buddy
It helps your water to stay potentially more in liquid form if you put it in your sleeping back, that's if you have a proper seal and good bottle so it does open throughout the night
Hi, this is true but I already had my phone and batteries in with me haha.. it was ok in the end but something to bare in mind for the future, thanks :)
Thanks for watching and don't forget to click on the bell to be notified of my new videos.
Ok, subscribed and belled.
Thanks buddy :)
Kent Survival will do
done and done! worth every second 😊
lucky you, wish I were there
I've been suffering with anxiety since I left the army and your videos really help me relax. Thanks mate.
When to cash the pension. Bloody anxiety. What do you think the army is playschool? The clue is in the word. The higher you get in the ranks, and you obviously will not, you would get anxious. An unexploded device in Afghan, an unhappy relative in southern Ireland because you ignored the borders. Man up you wimp and don't disgrace the real Army.
@@djpdjp24 yeah cuz a real army bloke would come up in here acting like total dick! How about you go and fix your messed up personality!
@@djpdjp24 What a dick you are.
@@johnneville403 Humour - obviously lost on you. Get a life, or possibly another three or four McDonalds!!
don't see any humour there mate. must be real fun at parties.

Good to see someone cooking just the basic items were you see alot of outdoor folk cooking chickens and steak am liking the videos keep them coming

I take my hat off to Andy he is so dedecated to do these vids for our entertainment 😁
That snow makes a great substitute for moss if you pack it on outside of camp wall. Great wind stopper.
exactly this!
I’m so greedy. I wish your videos were longer! I’m so sad when they end. You’re so skilled and authentic. Many thanks.
Great video. Very honest and informative. Thank you for sharing.

what i like about kent survival is that you film little mistakes and keep them in when you could edit them out like what most others would do just the things like kindlin and stuff 🖒
The inside of your camps view of the outside was beautiful. Thank you for this wonderful video.👍
I love how he used the natural bend/arc of the tree. That way he didn't have to cut up extra wood for the frame.
Using what nature provides for him.
Really enjoy watching !! Wish I had done more of this !! To all the young people out there ! If you are watching, you must love this !! Get out there and do it while you are still young !! Be safe !!
I hope 51 ain't to old.. Love going in the woods.
I spent the summer building a log cabin at one location. Still working on it. I have a few vids posted on it.
The camp looked really bare when you reached it but fair play you got it buzzing and pretty homely for the night.
haha yeah, It looked peaceful until I got there :p good to see it in the snow for sure, thank you
Just found your channel. What a lovely camp out. Thanks for having me along. Very well done.
Glad to have you on board, Thanks for watching :)
Have you thought about putting a scrapped piece of metal behind your fire?Carlisle195 uses one and it acts as a reflector and protection for your fence. Great video, thanks for sharing.
Hey, thank you for watching :) there is some scrap metal near by but Id like to keep the camp as natural as possible... thinking of a rebuild soon too :p
I like that you are using multiple tarps mate,making it more cosy and warm.
Yeah, I need 2 on top since extending the front wall, but also glad I took that little one along :) Thank you for watching buddy
No worries mate,just subbed. :-)
Thank you bud :)
The tin can with herbs is a great idea really enjoyed watching this subbed!
Thanks and welcome to the channel
Really enjoyed that.Thanks.
Top tip-when it's below zero;keep a proper water bottle(non-leaking variety!) in your jacket whilst awake and in your sleeping bag when sleeping.
When you brought back that first load of wood, I was thinking you must be new. Lol, but you know exactly what your doing brother! God bless you.
❤️🙏🏼
When it comes to cooking and satisfying your palet, you deffently have it going on!

What a great fixed camp. That look really great and cosy.
Great vid matey. Camp and woodland looked great in the snow.
Cheers mate, It did all look great, I honestly felt like a kid.. loved it, hope we dont have to wait so long for snow again haha
Thanx, my friend. Glad 2 B aboard w/ ye. Have a home cooked meal of fish & brewis. A nice Newfie supper. Be safe and happy. Peace.
You come across as very genuine, nicely done
It’s bloody brilliant!! So cozy!! I’d camp with you any time!! Smiling!!
Nice one Andy 👌. The bug out truck looked cool driving through the snow. Good idea with the sledge mate, must have made your walk in a hole lot easier not having to carry all your kit. Thanks for sharing Andy. Atb Sconja 👍
Thanks mate, yeah.. was good driving in the snow.. the byways were busier than the roads with 4x4 enjoying the snow haha. pack kept falling off the sledge though haha

I enjoyed your Camp 0ut❕Your camp is real nice. I like how you got it thought out🧠in design.
Thanks Danny... the camp build was quite organic but I am thinking of starting over as you learn a lot the first time around.
Gr8 video mate. Looked nice and cozy. Nothing like it, eh? Lots of work but so worth the quiet and solitude.
great job again Andy keep up the good work mate
Thank you Phil, will do my best mate
Kent Survival best part I like about your channel is you interact with your subscribers not many do that and that’s awesome. Just order me a condor knife cuz of your videos can’t wait to get it and try it out soon cheers mate

Kent Survival such a feel good piece to watch after a shite day in the office! My meditative space! Keep it up 🤗
Thanks Claire, glad you enjoyed... was a very chilled camp after the hard work was done haha
You are good at what you do, your camping and cooking.I watch these videos from Canada and America and now yours from the uk keep up the good work ,from Newzealand.
Kudos to you for camping out in that snow and great video all round Andy, really enjoyed watching this ~Peace~
Thanks Zed mate, was great to finally get some snow.. felt like a kid at Christmas haha
Thumbs up!! 👍👍. Nice Vid! I thought I was the only crazy winter camper out there! I've got this down to a science now, but took a few years, and MONEY, to buy my own damn land! WwooooooooHhhhoooooooo!!!
Very good winter camping video. 2 thumbs up.
Thanks Art, I was like a kid at Christmas haha
Andy I've been watching your videos for over a year now on a ship I work on thankyou so much Andy this is one of your older videos and I was happy to hear you call our lorne sausage lorne thats an argument in Scotland from all the different shires lol thankyou Andy what a brilliant video in the snow storm
Awesome camp buddy, our dinner looked tasty. The mic fail reminds of those old films when the mic boom drops in. Camped look good in the snow.
Thanks Trev, haha.. I revealed my sound guy ;)
What a luxury. As a soldier. I was given a pup tent half. And no one to buddy up with. so a ground hugger was all I got. ( Tent half with field made stakes .) That was my home. An a artic sleeping bag. No fire. Still was comfy. On my guard post. Yours. That is a Hilton om. I like.
I wish can spend time like this myself.you are lucky.
This looks very entertaining. Always loved the thrill of being in an extreme condition and defending against it. One of my favourite things in life.
Thank you :) It was a very enjoyable camp for me.. loved having the snow for a change.
New sub here.. Great night out in the winter. I am heading out to camp out in the cold this weekend, needed that extra inspiration. Cheers!
Hi, welcome to the channel, Thanks for watching and subbing. Have a good one this weekend :)

haha, thanks Glen, I loved it, hope we don't have to wait so long again for more snow
Love it!Shelter, food, weather is awesome!! Keep 'em comin' pal!!!
First ive seen you with hair!
Watching lots of bushcraft lately. Some I like more than others. Your approach at filming is quite nice.
When the Beast from the East struck I was "between jobs". I was never more happy to lie in bed all day snuggled up to the cat listening to snow pelting the windows as the heating banged out some serious BTU's.... selfish but true
I've stumbled across some of your older videos,Keep up the the good work dude your channel just gets better.
Nice job Andy! Made me feel just like I was home 🇨🇦
Thanks mate.. felt like I was over there and I loved it :D
I have been bingeing and finally went back to here, he is a different Andy here. Long hair and beard 😮. Same attitude and demeanor, fabulous. It is way too cold to camp for me, 🥶.
Good video mate. Makes you think with all the gear we have for cold weather camps and all the homeless peeps out there with barely a sleeping bag to call their own.
Thanks chris... yeah, Its a very good point, Its like at festivals, half the people leave all there tents and sleeping bags, wonder what happens to all that... trashed im sure
Heart breaking to see every tent, chair or whatever just picked up and skipped. Such a waste as most are new.
Tips for spices are very good, thanks! I'm from Patagonia, Argentina, and never saw here that type of shelter camping, we only do it in tents. Very interesting videos
Nice video. I tell you from experience wellies are no good. Okay when you're walking far but p.d.cold otherwise. The best I found for snow are cotton traders "muck boots" I think they're called.

So far the weld is holding great, even through all the snow. If bthey crack again sometime I'll weld them again.
Hi, thanks for watching the vid :) I would get something like that but snow here is quite rare so they just wouldn't get used :(

Glad I found this channel really enjoyed watching.
Hi, thank you very much :) and welcome to the channel
Great video. Looks like you had a warm night and your shelter was adequate for the task at hand. Keep the vids coming.
Thank you :) I was super snug, good nights sleep until the creepy voices haha
just a heads up with the holes in the walls it's not just the moss dropping out it's the wood shrinking as it dries out.

I remember in 8th grade we got to go up on top of a mountain that was part of a ski Hill. And make snow caves in the large drifts. It was actually so warm the ceiling was dripping onto us. When you form the ceiling make it curved or it will slowly start coming down. When you wake and the ceiling is a couple inches from your snout it makes you want to get the heck out.

I really like how you made your fire
I like the little primitive wood spoon! Great video
Excellent video ,delicious food,good set up ,looks like your shelter is strong enough to withstand the beast from the east better than mine I've spent the last 2days rebuilding mine (lol) just to mention about snow being a good insulator I did a winter survival course in the cairngorm where I had to dig a snow cave it's surprising how warm you are when inside ,really enjoyable video andy thanks for sharing ♠
Shame about your camp but sometimes its an excuse to improve.. been thinking of a rebuild myself actually... Ive heard that about the snow caves, my friend tried to get me to do something like that but there just wasnt enough of it haha. Thanks for watching buddy

Future tip for water sleep with a bottle in your sleeping bag. Cool video!
It helps your water to stay potentially more in liquid form if you put it in your sleeping back, that's if you have a proper seal and good bottle so it does open throughout the night
Hi, this is true but I already had my phone and batteries in with me haha.. it was ok in the end but something to bare in mind for the future, thanks :)
Very interesting video. Loved the snow scenes. Dinner looked delicious! Thanks for sharing your advdntue..

Thanks Kaylynn, I do have a bigger one but im reluctant to cut it to size.
