Well, it's about time! I don't care how weird your tent is or how Mexican your cooking is, you cannot make us wait a full month for a video. I know you can't see me but I'm sitting here with my arms folded in front with my lower lip pouting like a small child. That said, it's great to see a new video. We love you Andy, AKA "Camp Guy".
Haha, thanks for the support. I'm well rested after Xmas and new year and ready for a year of adventures
I buy the fire lighters by the box to light our wood stove there from lekto
Although I must confess that it was the longer than normal absence that finally made me subscribe :) I got tired of continually checking whether a new video had been posted because I thought for sure I had missed one.
Lol.i was thinking same thing but with no lip action..lol..b safe.peace. love the videos.
Shame I wonder if it was just me anxiously awaiting the outcome of ur Sleepsuit ..but guess again very unlike Kent..😢😢😢😢got up not even the least bit sign of the Sleepsuit ..😢😢😢😮😮😮but about half dozen tyms I hear him say cold very cold start a fire in the morning etc...😮😮😮😢😢😢I really think Kent sent his brother out for this one 😮😢😅😂❤❤❤
Hi Andy, Luing is Chinese for camping so just Camping Box basically! We are sitting here in Xiamen, China watching the video with great interest. Just got to the point of you starting your fire! Have a good one
Send me one to review in usa
@@DeepDeepSouthRecordsbro thinks he’s g5 luffy💀💀
I thought youtube was banned in china
Finally! A tent bag which is actually larger than required to hold a tent freshly packed at the factory!
It's come along Justintime for my upcoming travels.
Like the extra compression straps/ snaps on it.
Rofl. They never want to go back do they. Its like that extra couple millimeters of fabric would just kill their profit margain huh...?
@@JPMerolla001. Drives me crazy. Those too-small bags make me think of undersized condoms.
No more hydraulics needed to stuff it back onto the bag! Lol!
That "Sleeping bag" was absolutely perfect for this tent (and hilarious) !
Andy did not mention how good the "sleeping bag" was. I am supposing it was fine but as cold as he seemed in the morning am curious. Would not work for this female who always needs relieve myself at least once.
I was not ready for that 😮 looking like Bundy fly 😂😂😂
I was cracking up when I saw that sleeping bag suit lol. Top tier comic relief
@@vajazzlerthis Exactly 💯 that made my day😂😂😂
Good match. Made him look like a bug-eyed alien monster which fit with the UFO tent!
This man puts more effort into making food in the middle of nowhere than I do everyday in my kitchen. Looking forward to more recipes I can borrow! ♥
Haha me too
Maybe he'll release a recipe book !:)
You...me...and a million more...lol...
You really think he's in the middle of nowhere ? You tube audience are suckers . 😂
@@buffdaddy2032 Oh, yes, I forgot everything we say must be taken literally 100% of the time. Juxtaposition? Hyperbole for emphasis? Nope, none of those things exist in human communication. Andy could be next to a restaurant-grade kitchen, have an army of people doing prep behind the camera or be camping right by his mother's house so she can feed him, and he'd still be putting more effort than I do when it comes to cooking. That was the point of my comment, since you obviously need me to spell it out for you. Maybe try to employ a little bit of reading comprehension before calling random people suckers for no reason, little man.
That is an ice fishing tent ! That’s why it doesn’t have a floor. That’s also why it’s designed to go up without poles and spikes. You can find insulated versions online that are very cozy to sleep in.
This is what I was thinking
The brown thing he thought was a cover is actually the floor, secured with the tent stakes along the lower edges.

I love that he sleeps on ultra light cot and ultra light blankets, but also packs a stone bowl.
No its just a chonky plastic bowl.
@@patrickradcliffe383735:41 molcajetes are made out of lava rock.
@@mymusicaccount1456 Lava rock of that variety is actually lighter than it looks.
@@samarnadra I own 2 molcajetes, let's not talk about how lite they are, because they are heavy.
Molcajetes is called for when you're creating this dish.
How cute to see the badgers poking around during the night!
I love how your videos are so peaceful, especially the raw sound of nature without any added music.
love calm still shots with no music, too.
I always watch them before bed
Oh my! My husband and I laughed out loud at the sleeping bag. That was just what we needed. The tent was kind of impressive, really.
Thank you for not being a pretentious outdoors KZheadr by calling it a sleep system, and not bothering whittling two sticks to make fire and so on. You make this seem more accessible by the average personal 👏
LOL He usually DOES call it a "sleep system" but that's just jargon. I love it being more accessible too, without all the over the top bush craft stuff.
Yeah really hate when people call it a sleep system when it's 3 separate items. I work on actual technical "systems". I don't need to come home and hear about a sleep bag a mat and a tent being a "system".
Strange thing to get annoyed about. lol. Look up the definition of system. Just a you problem tbf.
My son (12 then)kept on about a ‘deep (woods) camping trip’so he got to help me hump the gear in for it, much like you did in your opening🙈 “Daddy, this is a lot of work”😂 Great time, he learned much(It’s a lot of work) but he’s the better man today for it… Good video Sir
That sleeping bag looks like either a 70's-80's Japanese robot, or a power ranger bad guy. LOL!
😂😂😂
I cracked up when you leaned into the camera and said “Instructions would help.” I’ve been there. 😂
All that modern gear, and you whip out an old fassioned wooden buck saw frame. Lol. Priceless.
Hey never dish a man's tools!
@maddy605 i think you mean dis.... and that is not what i meant. The saw Just seemed out of place. Thats all.
@@JPMerolla001 well yes, not everyone can appreciate or respect other's choices for using what they feel comfortable with, never mind.
@@JPMerolla001It's actually, "diss"
@@DaysofKnight I was just pointing out some irony. Relax. We all use a mix of modern and traditional gear.
I gotta say, these videos are welcoming, kind to all and fun to watch. I accidentally stumbled upon this channel and I am extremely thankful for it. Keep it up pls
I used to camp all the time when I was younger. Now that I'm older & disabled I can no longer camp so I love watching your videos. I'm glad you had a good rest over the holidays because I don't think I could ago another month without seeing your beautiful blue eyes sparkling while you enjoy a brew, some good eats & the nature of the UK
I’m disabled and camp in my van. It’s hard but enjoyable
@@adventurebythemilegood for you, if you enjoy it then a bit of hard work doesn't matter I would love a camper van with all mod cons and I would be away.
I’ve been dreadfully ill and hadn’t wanted to eat anything for nearly a month. I started watching your videos while resting, and seeing the meals you cook, I finally got my appetite back and have been able to enjoy eating again. Thank you, Andy!
😅
Go see a doctor instead of watching some guy pretend to be homeless on youtube.
@@deavyhick6803 I went to the doctor, I just had to have a lot of bed rest and had no appetite. Also, he’s camping, man. It’s not that serious.
@@deavyhick6803Wow. You're a buzz kill. Go back to sleep, party pooper! 🙄
@@deavyhick6803 people who do camping, mind you, with expensive gear, are not pretending to be homeless nor are they claiming to be homeless. And if a youtube video can get someone eating again, thats a great thing!
i was pleasantly surprised by this video. just came to hear about the unusual tent because of the thumbnail but stayed because of you. you're and interesting and personable guy. subbing
That leather bumper pad protexting the lantern's glass is intriguing, very useful.
Andy: "it's snowing! My boyfriend excitedly from the other side of the room upon hearing his voice: "it's camp guy! I love camp guy!!"
◤✞ 𝕮𝖆𝖒𝖕 𝕲𝖚𝖞 ✞◥
🤣 awe, enjoy haha
Man camping and cooking in the woods is a good genra of video to find on a sleepless night. Godspeed whoever you are
The meal, that space suit sleeping bag and the nosy badger were the icing on this cake. Divine.
First time watching Andy. What a pleasant experience. Andy shows how enjoyable it can be to be a bit closer to the natural world.
Hi Andy I laughed so hard the Alien sleeping bag fits well with the tent. I'm looking to a camp for a few days tomorrow. Good to see you again take care.
This suddenly went from a camping video to a cooking video.... that dish looks fantastic!
You seem like a really congenial guy, makes it really pleasant to listen to you.
Im watching this in bed at 11pm and had to get up to eat some crunchy nut cornflakes. Love the way he is so into his cooking. Definitely trying this beef dish.
😂😂 The alien sleeping bag killed me. Dude, you should have that on the thumbnail, in a suspicious pose, at night with the tent
You and Steve Wallis need to collaborate!! Either you go to Canada or he goes to the U.K. I would fan girl out!
This really is the pinnacle! Fantastic food, posh beer, effortless fire skills, you make it look so easy. Even Badger wants a bit of the action and who can blame him. Great way to spend a winter evening. Like the innovative tent technology.
First time watcher...Already know I am now a long time lurker. Not camped since my kids decided they didn't like it in my mid 20's. Hoping my knackered body holds up to go again with Grandkids. Such a refreshing change to see a normal man, not a plonker spouting a load of pants at me, doing a bit of cooking with a natural smile on his face and a beer. Really do love the look of the tent too
I'd love to see more about your food prep, how you carry it to your campsite, and how you clean up after cooking.
What a weird ass request. May as well ask for how he cleans up after going for a #2 too...
I don't think it's an odd question. He's so organized with everything and gives us these great cooking lessons. I would like to see more about the food prep, storage, and clean up.
@@DS-ic5psWell, as you've shown such an interest in prep, clean-ups and possibly other housekeeping chores, you my dear friend have just been invited to attend one of my wife's weekend LIVE clean up sessions!!! She even said she'll sit back and let you run the whole show. Myself being the usual victim.. AHEM sorry I mean lucky participant and not a jealous type will gladly give up my spot for ya too! CONGRATS! (our details will be in your inbox shortly!)
@DS-ic5ps p.s: why you had to be so pleasant with your reply, made me feel bad now, u sneaky beggar you! :/
Same!
I loved camping like this , miss it so much. Used to watch Les Stroud. I found a new survivor man.
youtube.com/@SurvivormanLesStroud
Andy’s adorable
You're calm but also entertaining! The simplicity of your presentation style and the moments of quietness you put in here (the nature shots or of the fire, etc) really give your videos a cozy feeling. It's also inspiring! I'd love to go camp out in the rain sometime. Subbed!
In the winter I’ve always kept a small bowl of hot water and a cloth to occasionally soak in the water, squeeze out and drap over the installed gas cylinder. Works a treat!
Great to see you again Andy. This video was one of the most fun to watch for me. You seem so renewed and ready to go conquer any Woodland. The sleeping bag slayed me and you calling out Temu made me do and old -Timey 1980s American fist pump! Also kudos to Temu for taking accountability for their rubbish tent and sending you a refund. Well done Temu. Looking good Andy.
About the additional mat - this seems to be the floor covering, based on the packing overview from the website. The roof is a separate buy :)
You are an amazing man …. You take more care of yourself in the woods than I do living in my house
Thank you for sharing you experience with the Alibabable Snowman. A lot of people don't make it through the night, give up and go home when they camp with the Alibabable Snowman and his products.
The king of camping and making us fall asleep at 3am is back,harmony is being restored
I really liked that spaceship tent. Pretty easy set up and put away and looks like it has a lot of space (headroom too). The space alien sleeping bag might be a little too weird for my taste, but it was a delight to see. Really excellent video!
Not sure if he looks more like a friendly bee with the suit on, or without it!
I find this type of content very relaxing. I can almost smell the fresh, bracing air.
Andy that sleeping bag cracked me up.
i really like watching kent, he explains things so well and he is a good cook, if he was my neighbor i would hang out with him😊
Andy! I’ve got to give you credit. You camp in all sorts of weather. I love your determination. The reviews of camping equipment is fantastic.
Great video! Love the way you've taken to Mexican cuisine, and make it in your camping videos. As a Yank who grew up in the Eastern United States, I've undergone a similar journey, moving West in the early seventies ,where Mexican food was often on the menu. The connection between Brits and Mexican dining is an old one. I think of Ruxton of the Rockies. He was a young lieutenant during the Napoleonic wars, in Spain. After retiring from the army he went to Mexico, and rode across Northern Mexico to the American Southwest in the 1830s where he met American trappers and Mexicans living there before moving on to Saint Louis where he caught a riverboat heading east. Lived on game and Mexican cooking the whole way. His cabin on the riverboat to Pittsburgh had a chair. He tried sitting on it but gave up and instead sat on the floor the rest of the way. Could no longer abide anything so civilized after a year spent riding and camping out west.
❤❤❤ 41:11
Really interesting story about that Napoleonic chap. Something to look into. Many thanks.
So sensible taking the time to cook proper meals for yourself rather than just snack. You can get hand warmer packs. I bought them for when we used to go skiing as my husband suffered "white fingers" (Reynolds Disease). ..quick warm up. Great recipes again - such versatility. xx
Aw, the badger was checking your tent for tasty varmints! This was great fun. I keep really liking your tents- ! And your sense of humor!
You are such a cheerful fellow. Glad I found your channel!
To be honest: I've only ever done tent camping. I enjoy it very much, and I enjoy your doing it, and recording it, very much. Thank you! I look forward to your next video.!
Jalapeno pro-tip: most of them are relatively mild but there's a way to tell the superhot ones. They get hotter as they age, and you can see more striations on the skin when that happens. Love your vids!!!
I used to be able to eat peppers right off the vine. Sadly not anymore, but the fresh peppers are just as hot or hotter,please take my word for it.
Such an entertaining video! I laughed out loud several times! That “sleeping bag” was hilarious!! You make my evenings so relaxing. Thank you for all of your hard work. Much much appreciated. From Minnesota USA❤️🦡❤🦡❤
Andy, to help with cooking, they make a stove like the one you’re using that runs on both propane and butane. Also, you’ll find in cooler weather, butane tends to get cold and stop working. They have stoves that have a thin metal piece that is heated by the stove that warms the butane canister. Skillet
I said it before and say it AGAIN … Last time I was in a tent ⛺️ was about forty years ago and I have to say … tent technology has come a long and good way 👍 New ideas New materials New designs … Something for everybody… LOVE IT 😊
Can’t wait until I can go camping again, love these videos, very relaxing
Thank you :) hope it comes soon
Hello~🎶 Brothers! 2024. Happy New Year 🎍 We will be cheering you on from Japan again this year~😊👍 We hope to see you again this year!
The tent was pretty awesome. But the sleeping bag.... how awesome!!! It was a perfect match for the ufo tent. Lol!!!
I bloody love these camping videos. Especially when it’s cold and passing down, like right now. I’ve never actually been camping and I really would love to to it, someday. The colder and wetter the better. Nothing like being cold and wet and then jumping in bed. Even if it is just a cozy sleeping bag.
I'm happy you decided to cook breakfast on the fire. It looked so delicious. Thanks for making the videos.
Would love to see some more of this tent. A good weather test would be great. Looks very interesting!
I'm from Alberta Canada so that weather looks warm and balmy. a month ago here it was -43C with the windchill. Eating hot food like chillies speed up your metabolism so should help you stay warm.
I'm so envious you get real Mexican food and volcanic rock molcajete ( mortar and pestle) super cool video
Great video as usual Andy..Great to see you back for 2024 and looking forward to your adventures this year whatever they may be
Right it has been awhile
Good thing I've had football to take my mind off things and with my team it's a up and down thing lol
Agree 👍
Andy is back! Yes! 💪
You're like a british steve wallis its nice to find more channels like his especially when he doesn't have new videos ive been catching up on yours cheers mate
@isolated_lizzy He even enjoys a Step 2 in every video!
Well given those instructions I give you decent credit for getting that up as well as you did! And I have to say, these meals look freaking amazing!
I am SO glad to see you again my friend, from Indiana, USA. Was getting worried about you. Hope all is well 🙏❤
This comment screams attachment issues!!!
I hope you realize that people take breaks due to their mental health and to take time off to be with their family. Grow up and stop leaching on this guy 😂
Thank you. Had a couple of weeks for Xmas and new year and all refreshed
@@toker_poker420calm down mate lol
@toker_poker420 Relax, man. There's really no need to be mean. She was just trying to be nice. Clearly he took no offense as evidenced by his comment.
I love these test videos of dodgy online stores products :D Edit: This one turned out to be a pretty decent tent from the looks of it, certainly easy enough for a novice to carry, put up and take down. Good job Luing!
Thanks :)
They are paying him a lot to do it. Every single one is paid for by the companies he is reviewing. They sent countless emails to youtubers all over the world and they dont stop sending emails because you ignore them or say no thanks. Thats all their is too it, and they are all chinese companies, they like to change their locations by buying businesses in other countries but i guarantee you they are all chinese. I find it funny though because they are paying him to be a shill for china but he tests them in hard conditions and they always fail and make the promoter look like clown shoes. They did that to themselves.
@@SuperKendoman It's hit and miss really. I bought some good quality replacement parasol ('sun umbrella') coverings from Ali, with proper cloth and good stitching all around. I'm quite pleased with those. On the other hand, you can also receive really shoddy stuff, especially when it's really cheap. But you're correct, if it's a real shop that just uses Ali as its means of distribution abroad, the products they sell can be surprisingly good. Reading the reviews does help and shop owners that respond to complaints in the reviews (often in very basic English, which can be quite funny) get a plus from me 😁
@@KentSurvivalHey mate, what’s your review channel name please? Really enjoy how genuine you review stuff so interested to see more 👍
@@KentSurvivalit would be nice if you took it out in a major rain fall, as long as you have a place to go if it leaks. How much did you pay for it? I’m looking at getting back into tent camping as I can’t take my trailer a lot of places, although it is only 18’ long
I love that tent, and the gas stove too! Thanks for the video.
Wow what a great tent! So easy to put up too!!
Great to have you back. That looks an interesting tent! Counting down the days to getting back out there!
I just discovered this channel, and am so glad I did! It's nice seeing the peace and calm of nature a whole half a world away. The meal prep of such tasty looking food is just a cherry on top. Also good to see the space pod held up against the wintery weather!
Me too! Worlds apart from all the Korean campers with their multiple sponsors, this is such a breath of fresh air. I'm looking forward to watching all the previous posts❤
Jeezzz Andy, playing in the snow dude. Love your work!!!
I'm from Ironton, Ohio, USA, and I enjoy your videos!
Hey Andy, another great video! If you wanted a suggestion for a future video, you could do a fully second-hand camp (and explain where you got the different equipment from and what you paid for it?). Just an idea 😊 love your videos and my wife and I really enjoy watching your camps (which means I am slowly convincing her to try wild camping!)😅
Jokes aside Andy does a great job keeping us warm and cosy. Especially on a cold night. Not a bad cook either.
It is a big tent to carry but it looks like you get a decent amount of tent for the effort. Thanks for this
Great to see you back Andy. Loved the badger, the breakfast, your cheery face, and THE SLEEPING BAG!! Snowing here today in S.W France. Oh, and - Happy New Year xx
I have missed your videos. I don't go camping, but love the banter, and seeing what you and your mates are doing. It is also nice to see the wilds of the UK as I am in Australia, No snow where I live. Your videos are very inspiring.!
Oh my goodness! I laughed so hard when you jumped out in your "sleeping bag " 😂😂😅❤ I look forward to your videos, Andy 😊
Awesome as always, Andy. Thank you for sharing. The food looked scrumptious 😋 yum yum. Keep adventuring GOD BLESS YOU
That tent looks great, I may have to pick one up. A nice easy take down for those difficult Monday mornings when it's time to leave the music festival. Awesome video, cheers Andy.
A Sleestak!! LOL, that sleeping bag/suit!
That's exactly what it is 😂😂😂
I remember the Sleestak too.
Used to have 8 man tents in the Army in 1977-78.Trying to fold the thing was impossible and one guy kept saying 'According to StickMan.....' Finally after several field problems someone asked Who Is StickMan ? This dude on the white cloth beside the door.Worked much better following instructions.
You seem like such a genuine, nice person. I really dig the gadgets and recipes:)
Andy, you’re back! I’ve missed you! I hope you have had an amazing Christmas and New Years and are rested and relaxed! Love from East Tennessee, USA. ❤ Janelle
I love watching your videos. Never camped in the snow, so I really admire your hardiness! How was that “sleeping bag”?
I absolutely love it ! I want one ! After being terribly ill with covid, taking a year before I could go outside !! Only being able to go further than may be 15metres on my feet so going anywhere was On a mobility scooter ( very depressing) so now I still can't walk far as my lungs are very much damaged by covid, which I got due to one of my evil neighbours wiping covid poo on my door handle !! Thanks!!! Anyway now I bought myself an escooter which is doing me the world of good and I love camping and that would be light enough to carry and camp locally!! Yay !!! All I need is a tent like this as I could take my scooter inside !!I all I need now is to start saving up for the tent!!!!

The Sleeping bag makes me think of Ice Warriors.
I just found this channel yesterday and I already love it! It's like a cooking channel and camping channel rolled up in one, with craft beer reviews and peaceful artistic shots sprinkled in amongst it all! Just out of curiosity, do you ever tell us your homemade corn tortilla recipe?
How lovely to watch and thanks for documenting your night in the Aldi tent. Don't think we have seen one this shape before ❤. Take care and happy Sunday Simon and Beth ♥️ 🙋
You r so entertaining,I was born in England many years ago but live here in the US due to parents being in the War,Mother English father American,but I miss the English people,u r more entertaining than the TV ,I use to camp alot over here in the US,and u make me want to go back to camping but I'm getting a little too old to do it by myself,your meals r Soo scrumtious looking makes me hungry all the time,Bravo Mate u r doing an excellent job,educational too,stay safe and enjoy🙏🇺🇲❤️
I want to go camping now. It's been 50 years but I see a lot of modern conveniences!
Entertaining as always. Thank you for that. Interesting tent, would really like to see how it holds up in the rain, it's so easy to set up and take down and had a good amount of space inside. Also like to see it with that fly they advertised over it and the floor in place. The onesie sleeping bag though... Not too sure about that.
In the woods and couldn’t whittle some cocktail skewers? Haha. Love the channel. Glad you got a nice break, but we need the weekly videos!! Also made my first trip to the UK last year and got very excited when I found Neck Oil. Absolutely delicious.
You like to cook. That is always nice. Thanks for sharing.
beautiful cinematography!
Your videos are so relaxing. If im being honest sometimes i even fall asleep to them. Im glad you're back and we can enjoy some more of your weird tents.. 😂
I watch these videos purposely whilst falling asleep if I'm honest as It is calm and actually sends me to sleep, not that it's boring because it's absolutely not but because I find low volume videos in my ear phones help me sleep I also watch them whilst I'm awake to give the man the respect that is due!
@@cjuuu443I just found his channel yesterday, but I plan on doing the same! I usually fall asleep listening to an Audible book, but his voice and the sounds of the outdoors and the crackling fire are even more calming.
Great to see you again Andy Happy New Year
Thanks :) same to you
