Bloody fantastic video mate! I'm well impressed. So much I've got to say but first off I'm going to go buy the cross thing for the meths burner 🤣 never seen one until this (crazy i know) loved how you looked inside the pot when you lost it 😂
When the music started at the end i thought it was a police siren.. i was like "shit hide the axe" haha. Love how honest you are mate, keep doing what you've started and you'll smash it. That woodland looks beautiful and needs a good wild camping 😅. Atb Mike.
Thanks so much Mike I really appreciate you taking the time to say that 😁. It’s a strange feeling putting a video up on the web for all to see. I’ve no idea how people will react. Some will be positive, some will be negative I’m sure. But I’m glad you enjoyed it, being a dude that does the same thing makes it even more appreciated 😀👍
@@steelmanoutdoors4479 just deleted and block and negatives unless it's constructive. No time for hate, especially when we do this to relax and share our experiences with like minded people. I'm Still getting used to the RUclips side myself. It's not as easy as i thought it might have been.
The Cheshire Wanderer that’s a good suggestion mate. I’m just here because I enjoy watching others I the same. If people don’t like it there’s a ton of other channels I suppose. We’ll see what happens in the coming months
Just purchased the two halves, from Poland. Was searching RUclips and came across your video. It is good to see a ”noob” setting that thing up, and not taking themselves to seriously. Hope your channel goes far.
Thanks buddy. I’m pleased to say I’ve set it up a few times now and even had a tent stove in it. Still consider myself a noob though 🤣 hope you like the rest of the journey I’ve put up so far 😊👍
I’m 5’7 1/2” tall and I’m with you on counting that 1/2 “. Lol Great video young gentleman. I’ve been considering getting a lavvu and the ease with which you set up yours has just about convinced me. Looking forward to watching more of your adventures. This 67 year old American is hoping to get out soon and join all of you. Work has kept me away from doing this I am sad to say. Don’t be like me people. Life passes way too fast. Get out and enjoy it. Good luck with your future adventures. Oh, and FJB. 🇺🇸
Thank you for your comment mate and I wish you all the best with getting out. Unfortunately for me much has changed in my life in the last few years and I rarely have time to get out nowadays 😢 but there’s a few videos for you to watch through and enjoy the times I had in the wild 💪 thanks so much for watching and taking the time to comment
love how you took us through the first time you set it up man just felt real, video is brilliant cant wait for more.
Thank you Sonny that is praise indeed 😀 what else would you like to see more of?
.... Go for it young man, .... and don't allow anyone or anything to discourage you in any way. ........ Those among us who have been going outdoors since long before you were born know that only experience can bring proper knowledge, and you should always remember that too! ........ ( IMO you couldn't have chosen a better shelter) ........
What a lovely comment. Thank you sir. I hope you enjoyed your experiences as much as I have been enjoying mine so far. I’m getting a bit better at things, but as you’ll see in my latest video there’s much work to do. Thanks for dropping in and taking the time to comment. Appreciate it 🙌
Thanks dude 💪
Hard to believe that this is your first video, you must be a natural. Very engaging, great material/content and an engaging style. You have another subscriber.
That is praise indeed!! Thank you 😊 I hope that you’ll be along for the rest of them 💪
Thank you for the great video. I appreciate your efforts and I can see this was 2 years old this is the first time I have seen you. The polish lavvu is my absolute favorite. I watched TA outdoors that was his first video I had seen from him I've been watching hours and hours of bushcrafting all over the world. I go by Roscoe X forget parfield. That is my RUclips music. Be safe and leave no Trace
Thank you very much for the compliment and thanks for watching too 💪
Absolutely brilliant first ever video Andy,,
what you need for that set up, is a nice Winnerwell wood burning stove,, ha ha
All the best,, John...
😂😂 thanks John. I remember it being a little nerve racking on the first one
Put your Lavvu and ground cloth in a waterproof canoe style bag. A 20L bag will be more than big enough you might even get a 15L bag to work. I find having my stuff organized in bags (stuff sacks) makes it easier to pack and take inventory of what you have or need. Great video for a starter! Thanks from Colorado, Keep enjoying the Bush-craft fun!
Cheers Gregory! Most of my stuff is in dry bags now, my tarp and hammock, and my hiking tent. The Lavvu is still in the army bag though so I’ll have to look into that 😁 thanks for stopping by and commenting and I hope you enjoy my other content
@@steelmanoutdoors4479 I just found your channel today and subscribed so I'm looking forward to your other videos. I don't have a you tube channel but I have been doing Bush craft stuff for over 40 years here in the Rocky Mountains and now it seems to be a popular thing.Take Care and be safe there in the U.K.!
Cool! Another seasoned bushcrafter on my subs list. Please don’t be offended by my relentless ability to get things wrong 🤣🤣 I’m glad to have you along for the ride and feel free to impart some of that knowledge on me anytime you like sir 👌
Hang in there Young man...hands on experience is better than any book. If you see others that are doing well copy of try to make it better... the more you stay with this the more creative you will become... so hang in there thow away all negative comments and drive on.
Hey Glenn. Thanks for watching and commenting mate. I much appreciate it. I’ve come along way since this first video and have some skills under my belt now. There’s still loads to learn though so I hope you’ll continue to watch my progress 😊💪
Love your honesty in this video, more people need to be like that.
I'm no expert either.
You have the gear now and I hope you enjoy wild camping and bushcraft.
Im the same as you, spent countless nights over the years carping and camping with mates n wanted to try it properly.
Great video and an absolutely beautiful spot. Stunning.
mrkutzpws thanks buddy I appreciate you stopping by and watching. And for taking the time to comment 😀 part of the bushcraft family now 🌲🪓💪
If you're that tall and that's a size 1, then this is the video I needed. Thanks!
Nice vid but ditch the stanley plastic cup and get a metal cup. Your Stanley cook set will nest inside the metal cup for a compact package. This isn't my design idea I got it from others.
Inside my cookpot is a circular plastic sub pad, single burner stove, spork, multi spice container, coffee pack, coco pack, tea bags, small camp(dish) towel and a lighter. Oh be sure the Stanley cook set top fits the metal cup if you get 1. My sealed cookset sits inside the metal cup, and that goes into a cylindrical belt pouch.
Hey Bill. You’ll be pleased to know I have a metal cup just as you described. However I don’t even use that anymore. I now have a Kupilka kooksa style cup which I mainly use. I really like it. Check out my bread bag videos or my latest video to see it in action. Sounds like you have a nice little compact cookset going there. I’ve been using my titanium one lately 👍
@@steelmanoutdoors4479 hi thanks, yes I've gone small and modular. But I'm also ex military trained so I'm sure that colors my choice equipment.
I mostly do day trips half day going in then lunch and returning by dark. Lol its easy get get away for a day plus I'm close to a national forest. I'll go out with beltpack and a nano Haversack to emergency shelter a night.
Then for weekend trips I add a camel day pack and a hammock to the belt pack. But then I dont do winter camping either. I think I like the 3 season colors too much, lol.
Or a hunting load out rarely with friends. Lol funny thing is I see many more deer on jonts than I even did hunting. Good thing I dont have to depend on that like people used to have to.
I just enjoy getting out see all the life around us we don't in town. Put things back into perspective.
Hello bushcraft brother, a few thoughts for fuel. Strap polish lavvu to bottom of ya pack. NEVER put us lavvu in dryer!! I would wax lavvu twice year. Don't change your mind set making your video. Your gransfor bruks axes used most small forest axe and mini hatchet. Most of everything was spot on bloke ,hope see more videos.O! Try looking at the firebox stove and honey & hive stove. I looked for flaws could not find it in both stoves their just OK for bushcrafting have nothing to bad to say about them. One last thing mold is a problem ( use a fan at drying rack for your lavvu dry's my lavvu in half the time even if it was raining.talk at ya later .best regards Ken
Hello there 😊 firstly thanks for watching and also thanks for all the tips you have given. I’ve made lots more videos since this one and the Lavvu has been in a few so check them it if you get a minute. I dried out the Lavvu on the washing line in the end not the dryer 😊👍 I also have new tent stove the winnerwell nomad which is awesome. Thanks again for dropping by and taking the time to comment Ken.
This Polish tent is the best. Thank you, brother. 🌲🌳🦅🦉
Thank you mate. Cheers for stopping by the channel and taking the time to comment 💪
Hi there. Just to say i love how honest you are about how you know nothing and your just doing it on a whim. I've been involved with the scout movement since i was about 6. (Turned 30 yesterday, old bastard now) So I've seen a good about of know it all's and it's my way or no way people. Truth is. Keep at it , learn, and enjoy yourself. Reason i found your video is I've just brought myself a lavvu size 1 so wanted to check it out. Look forward to following your channel.
Hey Rob. Thanks for dropping in and taking the time to comment. I really appreciate it. Happy 30th birthday mate. I hope you had a good one. But you’re not that old, you’ve got some way to catch me I’m 41 now lol I hope you enjoy the rest of the videos mate. I’m a bit more experienced now the channel has been running 10 months 😆
@@steelmanoutdoors4479 your looking good for 40 mate, it's the grate outdoor air that keeps up youthful. Just wondering where abouts in the country you're from. Couldn't pin point the accent?
Haha thanks mate! 😊 I’m from Northamptonshire, it must be something in the water. Mind you if I take the hat off and you see the bald head I look a lot older lol
Wrap a cloth around the pot and stuff in sack you can pull on the cloth to remove the pot.
Good tip mate. Thanks 😊
Hi! Good video. I like this tent also. Sligh note. In polish we don't have and use that word: lavvu ;-). We speak Polish for it: pałatka (read: p.a.w.a.t.k.a, better check the pronunciation of a word on translator) Lavvu.. is a Sami tent, a kind of tipi, lower tipi, more resistant to strong wind and this is a word from the Sami language (Scandinavian Lapland). Funny journey of words, verbal/naming mess. We (Polish people) made the military raincoat which is called "pałatka" (two are made into a tent), and there is a word for it in English: tipi, tepee but almost everyone calls it: "lavvu" - Sams tent. So the name "polish lavuu" give's U polish sams tipi/tent ;-)
Hey mate and welcome to the channel 😊 thanks for the info, someone has already pointed that out to me. I guess everyone just calls it the Lavvu and it’s kind of stuck now hasn’t it. The next time I make a video with it I’ll be sure to mention this so that everyone knows 😁 thanks for watching and taking the time to comment 👌
@@steelmanoutdoors4479 i'm lavvu priest, bring news to the world haha I'm glad you will join our church :-)
💪🏻💪🏻 praise the bushcraft lord 😀
Decided to subscribe at 15:00. Hoping to watch your evolution over time. Soon you will not be a noob lol.
Haha thanks Ben! Well it’s been a few months now and it’s not getting much better 😂😂 video uploading as we speak which confirms that ☺️
I'm from across the pond in Louisiana, USA. I enjoyed your video. Your enthusiasm is contagious and refreshing. Keep up the good work.
Thank you Billy 😀 great to hear from you
your video has made me go out and buy a lavvu,well ebay anyways for 40 notes so many thanks and good camping vid,i have just started my channel and will be posting soon....many thanks young man..
Glad it came in useful for you. I hope you have many great adventures in it. Thanks for the sub man. Appreciate it 😀👍
Liked your video and yes like you I've bought loads of kit during lockdown and not used it yet. Watching your video persuaded me to get a lauuv from military mart and I ordered the size 1 which you have. Got one for £51 quid that included delivery price. They are getting harder to get hold of and becoming rarer. Should get mine soon, looks a great bit of kit, reminds me of Indians in teepes back in time. 👍🏻 🙂 🔥🏕. And yes like you I've watched loads of bushcraft videos and kit reviews.
Hey John. Welcome to the channel and thanks for taking the time to comment. I’ve got more new stuff that hasn’t yet featured on the channel 🙈 been ultra busy lately though so haven’t had any time to get out and film. Hoping to maybe get out tomorrow to film a new knife I have. The lavvu is a brilliant bit of kit and I’m sure you’ll love it. Even when used as a half shelter. For the price I don’t think it can be beat. I think I paid less that £50 for mine so they must be getting dearer now they are harder to find. Hope to see you again in the comments sometime 💪
All natural...nice video !!!
Thanks for watching buddy 😊
Really cool keep it up
Thanks for watching and subscribing mate. Appreciate it 😊💪
Great camp on the Lavvu
Cheers mate 😊
Suppaa gemachddd!
Thank you 😀
This has to be one of the most down to earth and honest videos I have ever watched.. Continue along a similar path and you will soon lose count of your subscribers... OUTSTANDING stuff mate.. 👍👍
Archie Murchie thanks Archie. That has to be my most favourite comment yet 😊👍 glad to have you along for the ride and I hope I keep entertaining you. Cheers for subbing mate

Hey Stewart are you new to the channel 😊
Far play iv been bust to set a channel up keep it up
Cheers David. I’m pleased to say I managed to keep it up and have plenty of videos now throughout the year 👍 thanks for watching mate
Hi Andy.
Great video. Just watched this one and the hot tent stove video. Really like your simple approach 👌.
I have done the same and bought loads of gear over the last two years.
I've just got hold of a size two Lavvu and as yet only put it up it the garden. Looking forward to using it.
Awesome mate, glad you got some good info out of the videos and I hope you enjoy your new purchase. It’s never ending 😂😂
Awesome! Just bought one myself.
Which size did you go for? 😀
@@steelmanoutdoors4479 I went for a size 2, it's being delivered this week, can't wait to test it!
Awesome. Let me know what you think of it 😀👍
@@steelmanoutdoors4479 I will bud, I'll try and upload a video as well. Thanks for the inspiration!!!
I’ve got the same Stanley pot that is quite used, now. Someone had a suggestion to break off the plastic bit and replace it with a key ring. It works great on the fire by feeding it slightly back through the base so it stands up. I can pick it up and replace it with a stick.
Hello and welcome to the channel 😊 I have also seen that mod, I haven’t done it myself yet though. But I have made a bail handle from an old coat hanger for it so it can be hung over a fire (I just haven’t drilled the holes yet lol). Thanks for watching and commenting mate
Enjoyed and impressed. As you go out and accumulate time backing you will either add or remove various items. More experience the less you'll need. Thank you best of luck!
Bugoutbasics thank you for stopping by and watching. Really appreciate it 💚 hope to see you in the comments of some of my other videos 😀
@@steelmanoutdoors4479 you will see my likes indeed.
Thanks for your support man 💪
Just received the blue/black version from Military Mart today! Hoping to find a spot tomorrow to set it up and see how it fairs.
Hope you like it mate 😁👍
Hi Steelman, I think the video is great. In my opinion, all the talking and rambling on is part of the experience that we as viewers have the honor of sharing in your enthusiasm and excitement. For those of us that are not presently outdoors in the forest, we have opportunity to be present with you and in my point of view, it is more enjoyable to spend a few moments with a fellow enthusiast who is genuinely excited to be outdoors in God's creation having a desire to share that experience with others. Keep the videos coming. I have a lavvu also. They are awesome.
Sincerely, Dan
Daniel Menou hi Dan. Thank you so much for dropping by and making a comment. I really appreciate you taking the time to do so. I hope that you enjoy my other videos and will consider subscribing to my channel 😊
Great first video
Thanks Steven. Hopefully you’ll continue watching some more to see the rest of my journey over the past year 😊
Nice video. I did the same with the loops of cord through the eyelets. Although the poncho is water resistant, it does eventually let in water ( I was out in 12 hours or pouring rain) and the rain tends to run down the strings and the flaps inside which was annoying. I would recommend putting the tint up inside out with the flaps on the outside as an extra layer. Also, buy a couple of tins of Fabsil and paint the outside of your tent with it....after that your lavvu will be water-proof.
Thanks mate for all your suggestions 😊👍 and cheers for watching my vid. I have seen people fabsil the Lavvu but also seen others say that once it’s had a good soaking it then becomes water tight. Has yours been out in multiple rain showers?
@@steelmanoutdoors4479 Only a few. The first was by far the worst.....after that I flipped it inside out and coated it. Not sure how it would have been if I'd left it, but now it's totally water proof.
@@deathshead357 well thanks for your advice mate. If you look through some of my other videos you’ll get to see the Lavvu with a tent stove in it 😊👍
Enjoyed the comedy lol
Cheers bro 😀👍
Great stuff!
Thanks for watching 😁
Fantastic video! Really enjoyed it, thankyou.
Thank you Dan 😊 hopefully you’ll consider watching some more of my adventures and mishaps
Brilliant video mate. Thank you. Take care 😎🐺☮️👍
Old Grey Tree thank you mate 😀 hopefully you’ll consider watching some of my other ones 😊
Your channel became on of my favorites instantly
What a lovely comment to receive. Thanks man, you just made my day 💪
@@steelmanoutdoors4479 Absolutely my pleasure sir. I love the great outdoors as much as you do and I'm a real bushcraft productions junkie also.
So the fact that I can enjoy your productions gives me a lot of joy and satisfaction, I guarantee. As a family father of 4 and the youngest being 13 day's this mean I am far away from coming outdoors. Well I take my other kids outdoors a lot but only short trips of maybe 3 hours or so. So once again I want to thank you.
@@steelmanoutdoors4479 By the way what size is your shelterhalfes? 1,2 or 3?
I just read it haha my bad
@@Borealwalkabouts congratulations on the new child mate. You’ve certainly got your hands full now with 4 😊 hopefully you’ll enjoy watching some more of the channel if you ever get time 😂
Great video mate.
I worry it may be a likkle too small for me but this has helped me make an informed decision cheers buddy!
ATB Rob, Storb Unlimited Bushcraft 👊🏽😎
Glad it helped mate 😊👍
Great video love how honest you are
Thanks Cally. Welcome to the channel. I hope you enjoy the rest of content. And thanks for taking the time to comment 💪
Great video thanks for sharing I'm now an owner of the size one lavuu. Keep them coming mate.
Cheers lone wolf glad you enjoyed it 😁👌
I’m watching this in 2021 and it’s absolutely beautiful to see how far you e grown! I love this content my friend so please keep it up.
What a really nice comment to wake up to today. Thanks man 😊🤟
Great video so far, and the time of the comment I’ve only watch 10 mins and you’ve got me hooked so far! So, I know I’ll be purchasing a size one lavvu then, you have sorted out my worries about space for a 5’11” guy looks like it is roomy enough for me and plenty of kit! Keep going mate, love it!
Hey Rob thanks for watching man. And taking the time to comment. If I were you I’d get the biggest size you can. I’ve noticed that once my sleeping mat and bivvy bag are in, sometimes the bivvy bag goes under the bottom during the night. This won’t be an issue if you remove the centre pole, but if you can get a size 2 or 3 go with those options first mate 👌
@@steelmanoutdoors4479 right you are mate, I’ve seen a few on eBay for about 20 quid more from Poland itself, so maybe that’s a better option. Although I think military mart has quite a few! Haha
@@thegeordiewanderer2954 😊👌 good luck with your purchase mate. I also have a wild camp vid in the Lavvu and another with a tent stove if you want to see the amount of kit I get in it 👍
@@steelmanoutdoors4479 definitely take a look at that one! Cheers!
@@steelmanoutdoors4479 Hi, is this one tent or are there two connected size 1 tents in the video?
Amazing video 👍
Niamh Cowie thanks Niamh ❤️
Great video! keep it up. Just ordered myself a lavvu with a winnerwell small nomad stove to go along with it! Personally I'm not a fan of the silent videos. I like the chit chat.
Great purchases which I’m sure you’ll absolutely love and get many years of use from 😊👍 thanks for watching mate. I’ll try and keep the videos lively for you 😁
Just noticed this was on my first video. I also have a small winnerwell stove for my Lavvu. If you haven’t seen it check out my latest video 👍
Great video, Was going send my lavvu 1 back until I saw your set up. Should be plenty of room for what i need it do do. Thank you, keep the vids coming
Thanks Richard. Hope you get some good use out of it. They are great bits of kit 😊
I’m waiting on mine to arrive, can’t wait! Great video!
I’ve no doubt you will love it mate. They are awesome bits of kit 💪 cheers for watching
Great first vid. Your enthusiasm shines through. Will be looking forward to your future vids.
Have a look at Swedwoods on RUclips, he has a vid on how to fold up your laavu...ive tried it and it works a treat. You can then strap it to the outside of your bergan. It would also go down one side instead of attaching a rocket pouch. Loads of possibilities 👍
Simon Field thanks Simon for taking the time to write that. I’m glad you liked it.
I’m a fan of swedwoods too, seen many of his videos. I seen an Instagram post yesterday which gave me the idea of strapping it on the side in place of a rocket pouch so if I’m struggling for space I’ll give that a go. I’m hoping to get out and do some filming this weekend so be sure to check back for future vids.
Thanks again man 🤗
Holy crap, Why didn't I find your channel and this video sooner. You sound like someone I can relate too. How much gear, what gear, names and terms for stuff etc. I'm approaching my (even more noob than you) ventures into Bushcraft very similar to yours but, from a DIY & surplus kinda way with the exception of also hammock based with the option to drop to the ground if need be at any given point. I'm also being drawn towards I.C.N.H. & Bug-Out survivalist options. Good luck with your YT channel, stick with it. It will be good to watch all your skills develop. I shall be watching your progress and one-day ou paths my cross.
Hey Alan. Thanks for watching and commenting mate I really appreciate you taking the time. I’m happy to report my skills have vastly improved since the first video I did, but I’m still a noob 😂 I have a hammock too, but it hasn’t yet been on a video. I intended to get a video up of that in the next few weeks. Thanks again for dropping by mate
If you don’t mind me asking, how did you find my channel? RUclips search? Instagram? What were you searching for? 😀 this info will help me grow. Thank you
@@steelmanoutdoors4479 Only YT, I don't tend to go on Instaface, facetube, whatsbook, twit-tok, tik-chat or even linked-gram. I think my last search was for, UK waxed cotton canvas tarp, and your video was about the 45th on the list (I skipped all the 44 as I'd seen a few before). Also subscribed just from watching this vid. Enough smoke blowing.
Thanks dude. It’s very much appreciated 💪
Great review mate cheers. Just what I needed to hear as I was wondering whether the size 1 would be too small for me and I'm 5 7' 👍
Can't wait to try mine out soon. Cheers ATB
Cheers Dan, let me know how you get on with it 😁
I really hope haze sees your videos am sure he would be made up knowing he's inspired you to get out in the sticks. Keep it up and also subbed.
shawn Dooley thanks very much mate. Appreciate you commenting and subbing. I doubt Hazey will ever know lol
Liked/ subscribed. Identical situation mate. Don’t know how many countless bushcraft things I’ve picked up for camping that I still haven’t tried.
Thanks Ian. Nice to know I’m not the only one 🤣 I’ve still got a few things to test out but pleased to say that I’m now getting use out of most of it. Thing is, I keep buying more 🤣
Steelman Outdoors same problem here!! When I seen your bushbox XL, I was like "UGH,...Still want one of them!!!"
Ian Keegan I was like that for ages. Ended up just taking the plunge and getting it. Glad I did, it’s awesome 😊
Steelman Outdoors I'd just like to come back to call you a son of a....I bought a Polish lavvu 😂
Ian Keegan 😀 I don’t think you’ll regret it mate 😍
Stumbled across this video via your Winnerwell Nomad review. I've just taken delivery of a size 2 lavvu so I'm looking for a stove for it. Liked your video so have sub'd and look forward to seeing more👍
Hey Benny. Hope you’re getting on well with your Lavvu and welcome to the channel. Thanks for taking the time to comment 💪
I also sprayed mine with fabsill tent water proof the water just beads of it so doesn't soak in look forward to ur next vids mate
I had considered that, but loads of people said it didn’t need it as the canvas swells when it gets wet and that’s what makes it water tight. Also fabsil is quite flammable I think so next to a fire might be a bit hazardous 🤔
Excellent clip!
Thank you very much 😊👍
Brilliant video, really hit a few strings on my own past and my collection of kit lol. Both on a learning curve hopefully get alot more content for you chap keep it up
yermaun steve thanks buddy! Glad you enjoyed it and it resonated with your own experiences. I’ve got loads more kit to test out as well in future videos 🤣 so watch this space
Enjoyed first video.. looking forward to next one
Thanks Tracey 😊💚🌲🍄
Great vid.looking forward to the next one
Thank you Leslie. Glad you enjoyed it 🥰
Great video! New subscriber here brother 👍🏽👍🏽😎
Thanks buddy. Appreciate your support 😊🤘
OK I love your video and personality. Keep up the good work. I have ordered my first lavivu tent. We don’t get to choose the size you want you get what ever they send you. Hoping for a size 2 but after seeing your video I’ll be happy with any size. I live in the us and got one for 75.00.
Hi Lisa 😀 thanks for dropping by and taking the time to to comment. The Lavvu is an awesome bit of kit you’ll absolutely love it I’m sure. If you’re on Instagram tag me in a picture when you get it and have it set up 👌
Great video pal just bought one from the place you got it had a ride up there as its local got the No2👍
Thanks buddy! I hope you enjoy it like I do. They are awesome 😊. I have added a winnerwell stove to my Lavvu which I think is a great addition. There’s a video on the channel showing it if you want to check it out 👍
@@steelmanoutdoors4479 Thats the one I've been looking at will pop over now and check it out👍
Hope you enioy it pal 😊
Just subbed great honest video . ATB from Texas
Thanks Kevin I appreciate your kind words. And thanks very much for the sub 💪
Just got my polish lavvu in the mail today! Can't wait to take it out in the bush and get away from the city. I hit subscribe and hope you keep this up man. Cheers from Minnesota.
Hi John 😀 congrats on your new purchase dude. I’m sure you will love it. It’s a great bit of kit. Thanks for watching and commenting. And also for subbing. Nice one 💪
Great video mate! You've got a fan all the way in Australia now! Keep up the great work
Thanks Willz appreciate your support 😀🙌
@@steelmanoutdoors4479 I've shown my girlfriend this video, and she says I have done pretty much everything you have done in terms of seeing equipment in videos and buying it. We really like the video. I'd love to come to England and do a hike/camp one day.
😂 there’s loads of us out there buying kit we see. I had so much I just had to get out and do something with it and because it was a nightmare trying to get people to come with me I started it on my own. Now I have all you lot to talk to about it. It’s great 😀 if you ever come to the UK look me up and we can do a hike together 💪 My mrs also likes to walk (in good weather though) lol
Great vid really enjoyed it .just got my lavvu size 2 from military mart I take the dog with me first time I put mine up went to put a brew on left me Trangia burner at home !!! so water it was lol .Keep up the vids
Oh no! That sounds like the kind of thing I’d do 🤣🤣 at least you got to test the Lavvu. What did you think of it?
@@steelmanoutdoors4479 well impressed with it ,I think I might leave it standard as really I will use it for me and the dog when we go for day long walks keep up your vids very entertaining
gary smith thanks Gary appreciate your support! I’m intending to be back out this weekend with the Lavvu and the my new winnerwell stove 👍
@@steelmanoutdoors4479 oh that's good I bought a nomad eco burn months ago look forward to that hopefully the lavvu will survive 😄
gary smith you’ve seen my vids. I’m likely to burn it down 🙈 lol
Absolute legend. Hahaha 'Sober thought'. Good to see the lighthearted humour, some people can take their vids a bit too serious! Keep it up haha where you from? I'm midlands
Midlands based here as well 😀👍 cheers for watching mate. Appreciate you stopping by 💪💪
Would be useful to put a hole in the ground sheet for more coverage. Just ordered mine but couldn't handle any soil and vegetation in my sleeping area wimpy or what ? Got mi B.OB (bug out bag) sorted, just need to get the B,O.L.O.C (bug out location) squared away.
Great video!

Great sincere vid, no hiding what you don't know, very refreshing (I don't know a lot either) a lesson perhaps for some other utubers. Hope you go on to have many K subscribers... I'm one already.
Aw thanks Paul. That means a lot to me. I appreciate you taking the time to say so and appreciate you subbing. Hope you enjoy the rest of the content 👌
Great vid I love the polish lavvu I use mine all the time I had a zip put on mine lot easier getting in and out
Hi Shaun 😃 thanks for the comment. I love my Lavvu too. I also had a zip put on it but it didn’t go too well 🤣 check out my first solo wild camp to find out why. Thanks for dropping by
Great start to what I hope are many more to come. Keep putting up these videos. Liked and subscribed.
Thanks for the comment. It means a lot 😃 glad you liked it
Russian roulette with the tree around you good luck 👍
Haha I’m still alive mate so all good for now 😂
Really good video . Inspiring for all to just get out there
Adventure Tales it took me a while to get out there myself. But now I’m up and running I’m loving it 😀 thanks for dropping in and giving a lovely comment, glad you enjoyed it and I hope you get out and try it yourself
Steelman Outdoors soon as weather breaks I’ll be out with lavvu we’re still pretty much under water here in wales and it’s still pouring 😁
Adventure Tales sorry to hear that. It’s been a very wet winter so far! I’ll look forward to seeing your Lavvu video if you do one. They are great bits of kit 👍
Steelman Outdoors yep I’ll post it up soon as I get it sorted. Did a test pitch in garden added a stove too. Hopefully next week or so I’ll get out with it.
Adventure Tales happy days I’ll look forward to it 😀
Dayum you're lucky , just bought one , un used condition und it was 240 CAD sad thing.. Cool vid bruh
Thank you dude. Hope you enjoy the Lavvu 👌
I've just bought one of these myself and can't wait to get out for a couple of nights,where you put your arms for the poncho use a stick to open as a window 👍
Stephen Campbell you’ll love it mate! I now use the arms as a window for my new winnerwell nomad stove 😊👍
@@steelmanoutdoors4479 cant wait to use,next weekend I'm going out to try it for the first time,glad I watched the pop up now 👍✌😉
What size did you go for? 😊 if you want to see how a night goes in one, I also put up a vid of my first solo wild camp in one. Check it out if you like mate. Will give you a sense of the space it has
@@steelmanoutdoors4479 i got the size one as i think there will enought room for me and some kit,im pretty new to this myself only wild camped twice up to now,but loving it
Well, welcome to the community mate, it’s full of decent people who love it. There’s loads of RUclipsrs to watch and learn from and just remember to #leavenotrace
Wonderful video. I really enjoyed your honesty as you shared first experiences. I subscribed and look forward to enjoying many more of your vids. God bless from Maryland in the U.S.A. Cheers.
Thank you John. I really appreciate you taking the time to comment and especially subbing. I’ve made a few more videos since this first one and I hope you enjoy them 😊👍
I love lavvu :) great tent.
It’s an awesome piece of kit isn’t it. I enjoyed my first wild camp in it. It gave me a sense of home and cut me off from the outside 😀
Excellent comments do your own thing if it works for you great , we are all different . I just got my lavvu and am going to add a zipper only on 1 side, so the bit you got wrong on fitting zip is it is upside down ,.
Thanks for dropping by Robert. Yes that’s right, it was upside down. I have actually removed it now and will get it done correctly when we’re out of lockdown at some point 😀 have you put your Lavvu up yet? They are awesome bits of kit aren’t they
Highly enjoyable. Feeling kinda soothed and relaxed after watching this. Yes, did look up several bits of gear too. For a first vid this is very wow. What's those trousers you are wearing if I may ask?
Thank you that’s very kind of you to say, I appreciate you taking the time to watch and comment😊 there’s lots more kit on show in my other videos, so hope to see you again. The trousers I wear are Fjallraven Vidda Pros 👍
Never mind, some day you'll be able to afford a house lol. Great first vid, looking forward to the product reviews.
🤣🤣 thanks Dave
Great video!
Thank you sir! 😀👍
Thank you for sharing your videos! Keep it coming.
I’ll keep them coming if you keep on watching 😊 I’ve got one planned for this weekend
I'm looking forward to that. I like your honesty😀😀I'm also new to bushcraft thing so i can relate..I'm waiting for my gears and travel restrictions to be lifted to enjoy outdoors once again. Stay safe!
Thanks buddy. I appreciate you stopping by and taking the time to comment. We’re in this together 💪
Keep making them mate. Gotta start somewhere...
Thanks dude. Appreciate you taking the time to comment 🙌
Just what I was looking for. I wanted to see what the size 1 lavvu was like size wise and inside!
Philip Martinez hi Philip 👋 check out my first solo wild camp in the Lavvu to see how much space there is once I’m in it and set up. Glad it helped 💚
Good video bud, really enjoyed it👌 i have two lavvus, one of the best old school military tents out there...
id suggest a zipper for your lavvu, bit of a nightmare to do but worth it in the long run(heavy duty marine grade ykk on amazon-£13.86p) measure your lavvu for zip length, i used a 60inch for the largest lavvu, you may want a shorter one if you decide to put one in your size 1(small lavvu)
Good luck with the channel matey man, ill look forward to the next👍
Thanks for your comment Tommy, I appreciate it. The Lavvu is actually at the shop now getting a zip out on it 😃 so will hope to show that in a future video. Glad you liked it
27kg is to much kit by far especially with a shady fallen tree river crossing that very almost ended up rolling around in nettles, but it was -2°c and as it turns out you can fit a frontier stove and a lavvu in a British army bergin, plus TTF/ through the forks flat bands on a slingshot are actually that good you can actually hit what you aim at more often than not after little practice
cheers from Sweden mate, nice one! =-D Keep it up!
Thanks mate. I think you might be my first commenter from Sweden 😀👍💪
Great video fella, really enjoyed listening to you . I’ve subscribed. Where’s the location
Hey David. Thanks for the great feedback and cheers for subscribing 💪 I’m based in Northamptonshire in the UK 😊
If you did silent videos I'd stop watching. Your personality is too good. I like the whole aloof aspect, finally someone who thinks they don't know it all lol
😂 thanks man. There’s plenty more videos of me not knowing what I’m doing 😂 cheers for dropping by in the comments section and hope to hear from you again at some point 💪
Fabulous video
😍😘
No need to worry about 'what your role' is dude.Just being able to live off the land is enough, without freezing or starving. Maybe be a coastal operator, abundant food if you know how to grab it?..If the s.h.t.f. you'll find a lot of competition for those furry critters.
well done, love my lavvu - you doing well, took me ages to het to 200 subs and after almost 3 years Im still not at a 1K so you will trounce me ( I must be doing something wrong lol). When you say about your kids watching it in the future - thats exactly why I do my vids - but then again Im quite a bit older than you so far closer to pushing up the daisies.
Hi Garry. Thanks for your comment. Appreciate it 😀👍 I’ll drop you a sub. I think getting to near a thousand is an awesome achievement. Not sure I’ll ever get that far, but here’s hoping 🤞
@@steelmanoutdoors4479 Mate you will fly it, you have a very unique and honest approach and its certainly going to get subs, don't change your ways. I have adapted over the years but I honestly don't think you need to? Thanks for the reply and sub.
Thaank you mate that’s very kind of you to say. Let’s hope the channel goes from strength to strength. Need to get out and make some more 😂
@@steelmanoutdoors4479 its weird isn't it that as soon as we are allowed to go out we want to go into the middle of nowhere to camp on our own?
Haha yep! But at that’s what we love and that’s what the people want to see 😎
How much max temperature using with wood stove for this tent?
Sorry not entirely sure tbh I have never had one in there
Another question mate 🤪 what juice do you put in them little burners 👍
I use meths. And I bought it from here www.toolstation.com/methylated-spirit/p99550?store=K1&gclid=CjwKCAiArIH_BRB2EiwALfbH1PMx4VuNGvW0xw1XS54kAO7IiIslE6lkDA03i_3hGsnZfwvIlCJj_BoCOUwQAvD_BwE
@@steelmanoutdoors4479 cheers mate. Top man, great help as usual 👍
@@alanchinn7259 my pleasure mate 😊
@@steelmanoutdoors4479 just bought one of them axes with the sharpener, and one of the alcohol burners, my wife is gunning for you pal 😂😂😂😂👍 cheers bud
Well all I can say is that she’ll thank me when you’re out of her hair for hours on end when you go out and test all this gear. Just don’t do what I did and buy loads of stuff and never use it. Haha it took me a while but I get use out of virtually all the gear I’ve bought. Some more than others tbh but just make sure you get out and use it pal 👍
Hey Steelman,
I’m about your height and I wondering how long the Polish Palatka is while wearing it. If it’s touching the ground or too close to touching the ground? At our height is it even worth wearing?
Hello there. That’s a bloody good question which unfortunately I can’t answer. I don’t really wear it as an actual poncho, just a shelter. I don’t think it touches the ground though and I’m 173cm ☺️👍
How have your eyelets held up? Has the cordage helped with wear?
Hey mate, the eyelets are still good as new. But in truth I’ve only used the Lavvu maybe 6-7 times. So wouldn’t expect them to be bad with that kind of useage. Thanks for watching and commenting
Nice tent where you get it.
I got it from Military Mart 😊
