That’s cool I like that type of camping

I needed to thank you, Esme, and Simon. Your videos have helped my spouse work through his grief losing his best friend a border Aussie mix named Jake.

nice videos michael keep them coming

I am with Simon, I wouldnt want to go either. So relaxing. Thank you for sharing as always keep doing what you do. I enjoy the vids,

Love the new camera gear! Great shots. Always good to see Simon out with you!

Your getting a lot of gear for a overnight trip. All most clamping lol 😆but u like to take care of your puppy's. Try a shicabob .let veg meat sit in ziplock with Italian dressing, use steel rods . Good eats 😋. Arth

Great video and love the dogs ! And your camp ! Thanks for sharing this with us! 👍👍😎♥️

I like your videos and your dogs.

Great use of modern gear to make a quick, effective and relaxing camp, which is the point of recreational camping. lol

I can’t blame Simon at the end. I would want to stay as well. I cracked up when you pushed Esme in the water. Nice little trip it looks like. It’s going to rain here all weekend and I have been traveling so much lately I think I’m just gonna set up the tent in the backyard for a couple of weeks. Nothing like some good old backyard camping. Cheers MICHAEL.

The hounds knew that rather than stay in the vehicle, you’d be needing their technical help for getting through the summer swamp area.

Fantastic camera set up! It's like watching a wildlife documentary on TV😊 I was thinking Simon didn't want to leave for home yet, didn't think about his rough start in life, poor boy - so glad you all rescued him!

Another great video Michael, it's good to see your dogs enjoying themselves too. The full cab UTV looks like the way to go.

Hi guys (Three Musketiers) absolutely awesome video Michael, love your camping setup 👌 until next time, take care 👍👌✌🐺🐾

4 weeks ago, I just got to see . Thanks again for the time camping 🏕🙂 art. H

Great content. Relaxing, informative, and entertaining. Beautiful landscape. Brilliant filming/editing. What more could you ask for. Thanks for sharing !!

Hello, Luv! Took the cot/tent set-up on my 6 day trip up at Vallecito Lake in Colorado last week. It was brutally hot! I’m envying you the moisture. We are really struggling with drought here so no camp fires of any kind. It was a great trip, got on the water with my two dogs in my kayak for the first time. The dogs also enjoyed sleeping in the tent. I used a 12 volt electric blanket with my Jakery 500 Watt power pack at 10,500 feet at Molas Lake where it did get chilling at night after a very brief rain making everything a bit damp. It was the BOMB!. Lovely. Good seeing you again. Blessings.

Very nice relaxing camp, thanks for sharing! :) :)

Nice little trip. Good to see the dogs...

Thanks for sharing...

Simon: Nope, the last we went out, I fell into the water, you’re not going to get me this time.😘 I like to go motorcycle/scooter camping, but I have used my 66 beetle to go camping in, your tent setup would definitely fit in my car.

Great stuff!

Great video recording from above.👍🏻👏🏻

Thank you for the nice video😃

Thanks, I needed that!

That’s a pretty cool tent and cot setup 👍😊 Esme will get even with you for pushing her into the creek 😂 great to see Simon out again too 🐶 👍😊

Did you just push your dog into the stream? Bad Bad Dad... 😍

"Simon Says"... we don't go home yet. Those are the rules Michael. LOL Good outing... and, I knew as soon as you left that door to the buggy open, Esme would face-plant into the mud to go "help". LOL

You and the pups have a great thing going, Simon was going to give you till next week to stop rubbing that head

Michael, I always enjoy your videos. I learned a lot from you. Keep up the great work and give the fur babies some extra belly rubs 🤗. Cheers from Niagara Falls, NY USA.

good video Mike

Great video Michael! Don’t let that center divider in the Numbat annoy you. Use the Velcro tab at the top to hold it in place against the back for you. Until you need to get behind it.

That camera is witchcraft, no camera should be able to film itself filming itself. Great video, fun with Michael and the dogs. I appreciate your video adventures.

Surprising how far you made it across that first spot before you got stuck, I’d of been digging out the old range finder to make sure I could reach the trees with the winch before I tried that with tires under me 🤣 Nice camp spot 👍

Yay 😊 I am first to comment. Love ❤️ your furry supervisors. Cheers 🍻 from East Coast Canada.

Simon is lucky to have you.

Id love to know your full thoughts on the yescom folding tentcot like an in depth review of it

Giving you a like for giving me an idea. I'm getting a bit old for sleeping on the ground, so I'm going to see if my one person backpacking tent can be made to fit securely on a camp cot. That would get me off the ground and make ingress and egress to the tent a bit easier.

Do u prefer the air pad over the Teton foam pad? I have the foam pad. Seems like I could use one more layer for comfort since I’m a side sleeper.

Another great video. Not sure where you are in Canada but let me know if you ever make it to Michigan... I have your exact set-up... Defender, Vista Cot tent and a dog. 🙂

Looks like you have green and yellow Teton Vista tents. I have xxl cot/pad. Going to buy tent. Thinking brown or yellow🤷🏼‍♀️ which is your favorite color? Lol.

Hello Michael esme and Simon. How is everyone doing? Thankyou Michael for a great new video. Was you filming with a new camera or something or was it a drone? I was trying to figure it out lol. You all take care and be safe we just love when you it the bubbles up when esme or Simon says something. ⛺️⛺️⛺️🪵🪵🪵🦌🦌🦌

Hello Michael, Esme and Simon! There is a saying that goes, " Being in nature gets you closer to God ". Well....not only was God close, he was the one filming !! Beautiful video , that camera technology is at another level. very much appreciated. Simon acted just like my dog when he got anxious to get in the CanAm. After our beloved Pogo the teckel passed away from cancer, my wife ( and me too) found the house to be kind of... "sadly silent" and started to look for another fury companion. We wanted to "save" and not buy. So we came across a 2year old mixed boxer style dog that was in an animal shelter. His body was covered by dog bites but his attitude seemed ok. We soon found out that he was more traumatized than we thought. With a lot of love, patience and tenderness he is slowly gaining confidence...that is until I try to get him on the atv !! HaHa. Nice to see you and your beautiful companions back camping. Take care Michael.

How does the cot/tent do in the rain? Do you have the extended rainfly?

How are the ticks up There just curious if there bad and do you coat your gear with anything.

What kind of air mat is that and does it slide around much? I have the original mat it comes with, it’s bulky so I’m looking for a good air mat to go with the cot.

This was a great review solidified my decision to buy one of these. What mattress are you using?I see that you are not using the Teton mattress

hey man nice vid did u take the benelli camping ?

Was this tent made to attach to the cot? Was it difficult to attach the tent to the cot? Thank you for any info.

That has got to be the lamest campfire I’ve ever seen in the Emporium, Mike 😂👍 Obviously too much time in that fancy fishing boat is to blame!

Hey Michael...Rosie and I are dying of curiosity...what was that device you were holding in your hand, that seemed to be controlling whatever camera was capturing your footage from above?

13:25 Simon, "I'll give you 15 minuets to stop that".....

Hi Im 6" 3 320 will this tent fit me?

What is the red air pad ? link?

Which cot tent do you prefer?

WHY!? 1. KZfaq just notified me of this video 2. It too the ruddy thing 4 months to tell me!! I really hate KZfaq at times … Although I must admit the fisheye lens does make me rather seasick. Still annoying that it never informed me.

Wouldn't it be just easier to load the gear on a backpack instead of destroying the landscape with those wheel tracks. I'm 60 yrs old and carry my 25 kg and leaving no traces.

Quickest camp setup 17 minute video 🙄 No thanks
