THE only channel that doesn’t have a video title of ‘camping in my Hilleberg or Durston’…a down-to-earth normal guy passionate about camping. Well done you are one of only 3 camping channels I subscribe to now. The others are all pretentious numpties who need to bang on about their expensive tent. Please don’t ever change your channel is great 👍
Love these videos. Not a fan of tent camping… for many reasons but tarp and bivi is an incredibly minimal camp, and when you can be happy, warm and safe with that kind of gear is a nice feeling.
In the 5 years I lived rough in a tent 2015-2020 freezing temperatures were ok, you can keep warm, rain difficult to dry clothes out if you had a hike back to base regardless of waterproofs. High winds worst for anxiety in the tent in a woodland. You could hear branches/ trees breaking but had no idea if they were the ones that would crash down on top of you.
Great video mate be careful of falling trees in that wind lol as ya know....and your right there's nothing like camping in conditions like that it tests our skills and patience 😊..see you on the next one brother
love your videos! most other channels people have to use £1000 hilleberg tents and £600 arcteryx jackets, but you keep it real and show that you dont need to spend thousands of pounds to have a good time camping! keep it coming! and go go full sachet bombay bad boy pot noodle :0)
What better way Dan to check out your camping gear good old storm wind and rain let's hope more sponsors get involved in your channel as you deserve every penny.excllent video as always 👍⚓☘️🇮🇪
Nice vid, Dan. Hope you made sure to check for widow makers? Maybe mention it in your next vid! Especially if you're planning on camping out again during these awful gales hitting parts of the UK.
rather you than me making camp in all that wet muck and rain im a chilly mortal at the best of times and have two hot water bottles at night mind you im a old girl at 68 lol but i love watching you do the camping in the wet hope you dont wake up floating in the morning that seems to be a handy gadget not sen one of those before another reason ehy i like watching your channel your allways showing us new things so much stuff that different since i went camping in the 70s till covidd struck
great video :) love the kettle, i would recommend with the tarp to have it grounded as you created a wind tunnel with the big gap at the back :) keep up the great work
Well done. Great camp and gear test. Thank you for taking the time to make and share the video. Stay well, stay safe. Helen with Kat and Terri with Robyn.
I carry a pack off cheap wet wipes to give myself a bit of a wash. You reminded me of my granddaughter when she face planted in the mud, she laughed so much! Great camp, looking forward to more. Stay safe Dan the man atvb 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍🦊
Great way to spend a Sunday morning watching Dan in the woods ❤ i love the wind and rain it tugs at my soul. Lol watching you eat spicey food by the time you get the hic ups my lip starts to sweat and im not even eating it 😂😂😂 keep doing what your doing stay safe looking forward to your next video
That mess tin set looks as though it might work with flameless heat pads that react with water to heat. I use a flameless cook set quite a lot where you can't really light a fire. Great for pasta meals, etc.
Love your videos mate, me and the wife watch them all including your new channel which is brilliant. Apparently there’s a storm coming would be great to see a video of you camping with your set up in that…..We have camped in some heavy downpours and absolutely loved it it added to the experience. 👍👍👍
You're one of the only guys I watch and feel calmed, you're honest down to earth no drama and real, keep going love your videos, happy Christmas and New year 🎉🎉🎉
Well done Dan, come rain or shine our woodsman is there. Rough conditions, but you seemed to have done a good job with the tarp, perhaps a tent under tarp would have been better, a little more comfortable. Also you can dig a small trench around your camp to drain off the water. You do a great job talking to the camera, I hate silent videos! Have a very happy Christmas to you & family.
I am the person watching this at the end of July so it is almost 8 months later but you speaking about Christmas just makes me love the video even more. This is how I relax and go to sleep because I live vicariously through you because the idea of being out in the rain or the snow and being sheltered and comfortable it’s just so relaxing to me
Amazing video today Dan . Love the intense winds and rain. It makes it more interesting to watch. Thank you for toughen it out . ATB Gail from Worcester Massachusetts 🇺🇸❤🇺🇸❤🇺🇸😮🇺🇸🇺🇸😮
Love the Kelly Kettle style of boiling water.. my favourite way of boiling the water for the tea and coffee. Used it for years fishing on the river bank. Might try get another one in the new year sales. My last one fell into the River Shannon 😢
He inspires people to go outdoors and camp outside maybe in the month of may in the lakedistrict or near a Scottish beach in June !!! He helps folks get set free from the rat race !!! He's doing a nice job 😊
Another great video Dan, enjoyed the tarp setup in the strong wind and wet... brave... anyone can use a tent... the eco fire starters are a great idea.... just a little tip for you and subscribers if you are using a hood to stop it falling over your eyes.... wear a baseball cap, keeps hood under control.... PS always notice you open food packs with your teeth Lol... small non locking neck knife? if legal in UK....
I quite like the wind,but that mud would be a nightmare,we get the koka noodles a lot but the chicken flavour,,im a complete spice wimp and i absolutely love a good thunder and lightning storm.
It's horrible, eh boss? So why are we all still here?....Magic, God bless you 🤗🤗 Very best regards for the silly season, you are a great, great friend to so many people you may never know. Season's greetings everyone. keep well xx🤗🤗
Hi Dan, nice one mate for getting out,, I wimped out this weekend and its looks like I made the right decision...lol I use the same firelighters from Poundland, also the firelogs are good too I empty the shelf when I go in there and get questioned about camping.. They think I'm mad too... Nice one mate loving your channel, four years subbed... ATB Chris.
Hey Dan. I'd love to see you use the tent tarp setup if you decide to use a tarp again. It's enclosed on 3 sides. I haven't been out in years but you're giving me the camping bug again.
cracking Video Dan , love how you mix it up , tarp camping was a very bold choice in those conditions , so glad you didn't edit the slips out , they made me chuckle , I would of loved it also if you'd been in a hammock , would of been nice to see how that would of held out , and I never feel like you talk too much , love the conversations
Hey Dan just to say much respect being out there and you just keep being you even with the falling down. Thats what makes your channel so watchable and genuine! PS. Take baby wipes next time, to give your face a wee wash in morning. Great video Dan
I'm only 30 mins down the road from you mate and i got 66 mph on my anemometer and that was in my back garden 😂 well done for making it through the rough night, entertaining as always.
Dan great to see you out and about in this weather, stay safe and warm mate, ps looking forward to hot tent camping 🏕 see you soon AkA Night owl from Luton 🇬🇧💯👍👍
Using those fire starter blocks with the Kelly Kettle was a good trick. All you needed to convert that into a warming fire was a windscreen! The first time I used a Kelly Kettle I made that cork mistake. I took the cork out and the pressurized steam and water hit my hands and bare arms. I got a bit of a burn.
Greetings from Michigan Dan! Your videos are so wonderful to watch., Please keep them coming. You got me hooked on bivy, tarp camping, and so i ordered a Mil-tec bivy bag to try out with my sleeping bag, and tarp. I just hope i can cook as well as you do, ha!
Hi Dan, very brave to camp out in wind, it sorts the men from the boys. I was out this weekend (7,8,9,10 Dec) the wind was gusting 45-50. I was in a wood with old oak and beech trees and branches were falling all around. It was a little like Russian Roulette lol. Keep these videos going, they are very entertaining and informative.
Maybe get a tent with inflatable pontoons! And don't forget the larger tent stake to keep the camp anchored! (LOL) Hope your family does well this Christmas, thanks.
I have some fingerless wool gloves and I love them. Wear them all the time in winter. I prefer the army surplus ones when I can find them and they do last a long time, several years even with heavy use.
Good stuff as always mate 👍, ultimate outdoors got cracking deals on OEX tents at the minute, picked the phoxx 1 up for 49 quid, then another 15% off so was like £41 buzzing 😊
Greetings from Michigan Dan! You really do look like your having a great time bivy, tarp camping, love your videos!, After watching you on this video, i ordered a bivy bag so i can try this type of camping out..
Camping on a budget, how else to do it. Not to drop on brands but Morrisons have a variety of budget cup-a-soups. These work well at 2 am when a coffee just will not warm the body.
Dan your a jammy git 😉 iv been itching to get back out but Scotland is pretty chilly already & unfortunately I have to wait till us parents have Xmas out the way before I can buy a hot tent & stove as I'm of a really slight build as it is & constantly feel the cold at home let alone while camping but watching your vids makes me all the more adamant I will get them & go back to taking some time away for myself, I suffer from bad depression and anxiety & solo camping helps me massively mate as does watching your vids when I'm missing it or feeling pretty crap! I'm looking forward to your hot tent vids like you have no idea & plan on taking your advice being that person that gets out again & does it in the new year!.....😉
Dan, if you break your noodles into pieces before you cook them ,you won't be struggling with long stringy noodles.Thanks for you content .stay healthy

Used to live in Cottonwood, drove all over the states for work, greetings from Utah!
This is my favourite camping channel. Every video is different and interesting, you're so creative mate!
Love these videos. Not a fan of tent camping… for many reasons but tarp and bivi is an incredibly minimal camp, and when you can be happy, warm and safe with that kind of gear is a nice feeling.

Excellent and well done for getting out in that wind!
Respect for getting out in that weather, Dan! 💪 Great video as always, keep up the good work!
great video :) love the kettle, i would recommend with the tarp to have it grounded as you created a wind tunnel with the big gap at the back :) keep up the great work
Lol, you just need a lightweight grill for over the top to cook with, utilizing the flame as it boils the water... great share!
Well done. Great camp and gear test. Thank you for taking the time to make and share the video. Stay well, stay safe. Helen with Kat and Terri with Robyn.
Dan I have to say this I love ur eyes. Ty for bringing me along. ❤❤❤

Only thing I hate about the bad weather camps is all the cleaning and drying when you get home.

Always a pleasure watching your videos Dan. Keep up the good work
Can’t get out at the moment Dan,cheers for taking us along with you👍👍
The bung on the kelly kettle is so you can carry it full of water, I've got a full size one.

I love watching you doing stuff like this, it makes me want to camp again, but it doesn’t make we want to tarp camp again! 😂
Awesome video Dan. I enjoyed every minute of that. 😊
You don't talk too much! It would be strange if it was a silent vid!!!
I don't camp, I'm too old now, but I enjoy watching you!
Hey Dan just to say much respect being out there and you just keep being you even with the falling down.
Thats what makes your channel so watchable and genuine!
PS. Take baby wipes next time, to give your face a wee wash in morning.
Great video Dan
Thank for your time I enjoyed it.
Great to see you out and about in the wild weather Dan . Really enjoying watching !
I'm only 30 mins down the road from you mate and i got 66 mph on my anemometer and that was in my back garden 😂 well done for making it through the rough night, entertaining as always.
Just when i think your videos can't get better, they do every time, thanks again for fabulous content, keep em coming, Jerry from New York

Top marks for another cracking video mate, and a great test for your gear. Stay safe out there mate.
Great bivy camp Dan,loved it,
Can’t beat being under a tarp in the bivy in the rain,
Cheers

Thank you.

Great video. I've never thought of using fire lighters before but I'll start using them now.
Not done it in same weather as you , we did it in summer,great video👍👍👍👍
Dan, if you break your noodles into pieces before you cook them ,you won't be struggling with long stringy noodles.Thanks for you content .stay healthy
I love the video alot weather make it 10000x better
That was a challenging over nighter.
Another great video, great camp in wild weather..rather you than me under the trees and in all that mud though 😬
I rarely use my kelly kettle but would never get rid of it. It can boil water with just debris(dried leaves, fluff, etc)
