      I'm 66 with serious health issues, so my camping days are behind me. But if I was to try camping again, I'd try one of these cot/tents! Looks pretty cozy. But I am also 6'4" tall, so might have trouble finding one to really fit me. 😀

      Agreed. Would like to see the ability to add two together, so a couple could sleep in basically the same rent. Shouldn’t be too hard to do, for the tent company, just add a second door, or all the way across the top, maybe. Possibly a whole different design. Who knows? Maybe they already have that. 😂

    It was heartwarming to see you eat a Spam and egg sandwich for breakfast. I'm an American and many people I've encountered immediately say "YUCK! I hate that stuff" when I've mentioned Spam. I've always thought that reaction came from people who have never tasted it. When I was growing up, every now and then my family had Spam and eggs for Sunday breakfast after church. My father liked it cut in 10mm thin pieces and fried crispy on the outside. Before anyone comments, it's processed food so we didn't eat much of it. Anyway, that's enough Spam talk. I appreciate your videos and look forward to more.

      @@thecatatemyhomeworkthat is very fair, I don't think anyone thinks it look appetizing in or just out of a can. Once you fry it spam actually looks much better and smells like any other breakfast meat. Whenever people are apprehensive I try to explain it like really tightly packed and salty pork sausage which helps some. It is worth a try just cut some slices and put them in a pan without any fat until they are crispy, then throw it on a bagel with a slice of American cheese and a egg.

The awning being open invites socializing and the cot gets you off the ground for sleeping. All the windows are great for cross ventilation. The fact that it comes with an air mattress and all the bedding is the icing on the cake.

    The last time I went camping was with the girl guides was nearly 55 years ago there were 6 of us to a tent which were made out of canvass. We always camped near a small river. The laser time was for a week it rained solidly for 3 days the river burst it's banks and we had to move the tents twice. Everything was damp and I couldn't take anymore and phoned my dad to come and take me home. If it had been in one of those tents you show I'm sure I wouldn't have minded the rain and wet. I was only about 13/14. I've never camped since preferring a proper bed that wasn't just a sleeping bag on the floor and a proper roof over my head. But the tents you show are really quite lovely and comfortable.

    I have two of these! Firstly, terrible for bad weather. BUT!!! They have three or four great utilities. 1. With two you can make a nice naturally closed off camp, get a windbreaker and it's a nice set up around a fire. 2. It's nice to sit on them. 3 (and this is big) I mostly use this inside other tents when you want an extra cubicle. I have a square tent and a couple of times with one other person I've used these so that we each have a private sleeping space. So pretty good.

    I bought a stretcher tent (OZ Tent Stretcher Bunker Bed) years ago and was quite impressed how quick it was set up.
    It was easy to use just as an open bed with a mosquito net and pretty much water proof when fully set up.
    Used it for almost two month twice in the Australian bush and really liked it.
    It had no mattress tho, so I got cold from underneath and had to buy one.
    Easy fix, wonderful nights out there!

    I always wonder how Andy manages to find these empty woodland sites? I live in rural Oxfordshire which is full of rolling woodlands but criss-crossed with so many public footpaths and bridleways finding a nice, clear, quiet area where you can camp and light a fire is virtually impossible. They'd be a friendly Spaniel out with his owner on their daily walk appearing the moment you got the Sausages out!

    • @tylersweet5994
      @tylersweet5994 8 месяцев назад +4

      The private land where I live is surrounded by secure fencing with signage making it very clear to keep off. To find who even owned it would be difficult enough let alone get their permission to drive though their woodland, cut down branches, light fires etc Whilst, as I say public land offers very little in the way of genuine truly secluded places. Especially in Kent which is a very urbanised county thanks to its close proximity to London and the South-East. I enjoy Andy's content but an genuinely curious about all this.

      @@LilyGazou Believe me, it's hideous. Only last week there was a protest of "Right to Roam" groups seeking more access to land - and that's just to walk, let alone camp. There are even rivers to which paddling access is restricted apparently. I largely grew up in the UK but have lived in Australia for 25 years and land freedom (so much wilderness) is such here that I'd hate to have to go back to live in the UK. Enjoy your travels.

    What a great idea...really like the idea of combining the tent with the sleeping system. Looks like it has some limitations - not least the lack of waterproofness/fly sheet - but perhaps as a proof of concept it's cool.
    I did wonder how it would bear up to a sudden gust of wind on the back of the of the tent...you might end up trapped if it blew over! 😁

      Why stop there? Why not have a backpack that is the tent. Like in backpack mode, the backpack frame turns into a cot with a tent already attached. And then the tent unfold and unfurls. It means you have two less things to carry/pack.

    for that price, including an air mat, cover, inflatable pillow, AND sleeping bag, that's a proper china bargain, for a "one order" solo camping cot setup. i'm thoroughly impressed! (even if the air mat leaked)
    also: permanganate and glycerine are definitely a stylish way to start a fire. but i'm willing to bet, that glycerine contained too much water, that's why it took so long, and crackled so much. (it's VERY hydrophilic) if you get the good anhydrous stuff, and finer PPM, it get's going in

    On the subject of building permanent shelters - particularly using wood. I've watched a number of shows made by some really enthusiastic and resourceful people who've built their shelters so sturdy they could conceivably qualify as nuclear-weapons proof. One guy was building a tiny shack using logs which were strong enough to qualify as primary load-bearing posts for one of the major cathedrals in Venice weighing a mind-boggling number of tons. Watching him labour made me think - "if everyone set out to do something similar the earth would be devoid of forests within a few short years." I think I'll stick with 3x2s.

    I remember seeing tents like those on the Australian show called The New Inventors, about twenty years ago. I hope the young inventor made a lot of money from his invention, before all the other companies ripped off his idea.

    Sooo peaceful! Unlike the yearly camping trips we went on with our church. We had a huge clearing surrounded by huge oak trees... a five minute walk to an enormous lake. I'm a wimp (and with five kids, seemed to always have a baby or toddler) so I rented one of the tiny cabin rooms to sleep in! That way at least I slept in with my baby's schedule. At the campsite the teens stayed up late and the babies woke early! 😂 I would walk back in the morning and make everyone else in the family their breakfast and spend the day "camping" with the less wimpy people! Great memories, though.
