I love the idea of a tent being up off the ground like that, it would make older/bad joints folk able to get up without so much struggle!

Not weird. Brilliant. It's off the ground. It's a cot. It's a covered camp chair. It's a Bivee tent. Very versatile and efficient design.

You seem like such a peaceful, happy, simple bloke… Really refreshing in the midst of all the crazy and loud stuff going around on social media ! Living in the city, I really miss overnight wild camping trips with delicious home made food in such a calm atmosphere thank you :)

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.

I like the fact that its a raised tent, stops the damp and creepy cruely things coming in and up

A sturdy tent for £130 with a cot, rain awning, air mattress and sheet, pillow and pillow case? I like how it's up off the ground and you can sit comfortably at the entrance like you're in a chair. Nice. Looks great for solo car camping!

I actually got the double bed version of exactly this tent for a festival a while back and it was 100% worth it

What i like the most is how much you enjoy your self prepared meals and a nice beer. Really great to see that.

Ahhh that lovely sound of a tent zip takes me back to camping holidays in the 80s n 90s in Wales with poor weather but that's all my mom could afford on her own.. I'm eternally grateful for those fond memories

The tent is an amazing idea to be fair, imagine it was more than drizzle proof, it would be excellent

I hated camping, but you've made it look so easy and enjoyable I might have another go.

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.

Truly amazing. I need something like this for my severely disabled wife. It would give us a chance of having the adventures we used too. Thanks for putting this out there ❤️❤️❤️

I love that cot/tent/awning set up. What a fantastic design. This would be great for an outdoor festival event. It also gives you a nice place to sit. 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.

I am a woman who has only ever slept in an add on to my late mothers touring caravan once & finally did fall asleep after worrying about insects etc as mum was new to caravanning & had'nt got all the bits & bobs but we survived the weekend on the caravan site :) I have watched your other app on the landrover conversion for some time & did'nt realise till i watched these that you were the same guy . I am from the North East of England in the middle between Darlington /Stockton On Tees & Middlesbrough but i'm married to a Man of Kent or a Kentish Man depending on which side of the Medway you come from ( he's a Man Of Kent ) have been down to Inlaws a few times but never managed a walk through the woods on Bluebell Hill when they are out . Absolutely love Kent & the people. Within days of meeting my future mother in law people were coming up to me at the bus stop saying " You must be Peggy's daughter in law to be , we have heard so much about you , then sat on the bus with me & told me all the nice shops to go in to in Maidstone which i thought was great xx

What a beautiful tree! The whole place is gorgeous. Ah nature.

Found this channel by mistake. Absolutely love it.

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’ve set up similar system when I was at friends place that had too much company I set it up in corner of living /family room and I had my privacy And made it not awkward for anyone in room Great for those kind of sleepovers

Some nice features it seems. I'm a fan of airing out plastic/pvc bits before confined in small spaces with them. Thanks for the video!

Many things are really noisy right now, and I cannot tell you how much I appreciate you offering us some amazing content that doesn't have to do with anything else we got going. Hand-delivered peace. Thank you so much.

We have something similar for years here in Australia. But not called a tent, it’s called an enclosed camp bed. Has windows and fly screens and doors open both sides. Not sure it’s waterproof or comes with all the gear. Enjoying your content Andy. Best wishes from Western Australia.🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺

I love this. It's a Cot with a build in tent. This is a great idea 💡

It’s a bit impractical for camping but could see something like this being good for disaster relief type stuff. Everything in one bag is a great advantage for that kind of thing, a van full of these would house a lot of people without much hassle.

The original version of these tents is called the Kamp Rite Tent Cot, and quite frankly they are superior to every other kind of tent for most people.

I like the design of this package. There is a place to sit off the ground, a place to shelter off the ground, and a chance of good ventilation. I would select different components, based on ones I already own and like.

I love how much you enjoy your tea!! It makes me smile every time.

Something so cozy about camping videos.

Me and my oldest son went camping together a couple of years ago. And we had our tent and fire on the go cooking food it is so peaceful. And every time I watch your videos it brings me back to that moment with my son . I will do it again once my youngest is a little older. I’ve been watching your videos for 6 months now and they just get better and better keep up the good work I enjoy your content x❤

For all the gear you get with the tent its a great deal, I'd be tempted if they made a waterproof version. Also that is one of the most mouth watering camp meals I've ever seen on youtube🤙

I bought that exact tent this past spring to use on my hiking/ camping this season but plans got changed unexpectedly. Nice to see this as a review for it

I kinda like the idea of one of these for one of those massive multi person tents you can stand up in, it would allow for a little bit of privacy :D

Such a peaceful and relaxing video to watch ,to take away the noise of city living. Thanks for sharing your solo camp out with us . Best wishes from Simon and Beth 🌳💕💖🌳😀👌

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!

"went hard at it with the wood" 🤣🤣 The look on your face when you realised what you said haha Loving the work you do. makes me itch to go camping again. Keep up the great work

THAT FOOD LOOKS ABSOLUTELY AMAZING BECKY 😊

Not only is this the camping videos we all know and love but we now have some science experiments in there too. Good stuff lol

I always thought it would be cool if they made a backpack frame that becomes a cot.

You have an amazing talent of making this simple hobby a fascinating watch and very entertaining. Thank you I look forward to enjoying many more outings.

Wow! I love your tent, you make it look so easy. Thanks for sharing your awesome adventure. ❤

Not a bad little set up if you are new to camping adventurers and not wanting to invest a huge amount of money ! Nice 👌

I have the Oztent Bunker Xl which is a Brilliant piece of kit, similar idea but with a completely waterproof flysheet and poles that pull out from the cot bed that the flysheet attaches to. Really comfortable, if your car camping this is the way to go. Really nice relaxing video Andy keep up the good work!

Even with its small issues (short, not waterproof, no pockets) it’s still a pretty neat set up for the price!

I really like that... that is PERFECT for a weekend fishing trip at the lake!

Loved this one. I can imagine using this set up with a tarp over the top and around the back to make it more wind and weatherproof. Oh, gonna do the duck and waffle dish too! Thanks fella.

I wouldn't like to heft the tent and cast cookware for any distance but would love it all as a base camp. Tent reproofing and seam sealing would seal it plus a tarp over would be ideal. The duck and waffle looked great!

Before I hurt my foot I made a cart from an aluminum bike stroller for my Shepherd to pull my camp stove , bags and tent . Just an idea for you but you have a lot of cool gear...cheers from Denver, Colorado, USA

I love how compact the tent is, and all that comes with it. It's above ground which is good, for keeping dry and for the back and legs. He is well equipped. The mini cook stove is too cute, and worked perfectly. The beauty and quiet of the woods, is so relaxing. Thank you for a pleasant vid. God bless and keep safe. 😊👍🙏

Looks like a banging deal that tent! Better if waterproof obviously but like you say, a tarp over top fixes that. I think I prefer the hammock because of the off the floor-ness so something like that would be awesome

my reason for looking forward to Wednesday, a new video from Andy

Loving your videos! So much fun to watch. I only started watching regularly recently and am now discovering your back catalogue. Well done!

Interesting concept. I'd fly a tarp over it for possible rain. It could be just a few inches shorter, I think, yeah? But what a very interesting option for non-backpacking camping.

Always anticipating new videos! Some of the best in the biz! Cheers from the Prairies of Canada! 🍻🇨🇦

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! 😁

Wanted to let you know. I'm here to stay. I am learning so much that I didn't know. So KZfaq can do what they want, I won't go anywhere. I really enjoy your videos.

Andy, I doubt very if anything could make you look bad my friend. Your videos are so uncomplicated they are very entertaining. When you say you love breaking down the whole duck, that is a way of paying homage to the duck, or so ancient hunters looked at it that way or getting back to nature. Yes, I do love camping and all things natural. Keep them coming mate.

Love it Andy! Taking us back to schooldays with a little science lesson as well!

My wife and I have had this tent for about 4 years now, have used it every summer for camping. Can't complain.

Love these videos, even though I live in the Welsh country and have no idea what it is like to actually go camping... glad I found these videos

One thing I enjoy about your videos. It’s that camp food doesn’t have to suck. It’s evolved so much since I was in the scouts in the 80’s. I always show these videos to my boys to keep them inspired. Thanks.

How is it I have never been camping at all but I can’t stop watching your videos….? The content and the overall presentation are amazing. Keep me coming back again and again to watch (always make me hungry too watching your dinner). Keep up the great videos and content. Makes me want to get into camping.!

My first time seeing this channel. Well, that was relaxing and entertaining to watch. Quite interesting camera angles, content and sights/sounds captured… I admire this gentleman having fun and being positive along with the work he needed to make this happen. Also, his testing of various gear is likely helpful to those individuals new and experienced at camping to see what may or may not make sense to purchase. Well done.

I love duck! That looks so good! I'd never heard of "duck&waffles", but I need to try it. 😊 I really like duck eggs with rice for breakfast, richer than chicken eggs. 😎👍

I too, am quite impressed with the setup. Sure, it may not be best for backpacking, or extreme weather. But for spring and summer - looks very comfortable. With an additional/separate rain fly, it would do very well. Thanks for the video 😉

Watching from USA great channel will hope to see more thanks

I had something very similar about 12 yrs ago. Made by Caperlan, it was called "The Bed Box". I used to use it when I went night fishing, and it was rain proof. I think they have a newer version out now.

Thanks for another great Video, its always relaxing to watch your videos with the sound of nature and I always learn something. I am amazed how quickly that went up and was put away. I have had dearer tents that took longer

I enjoyed this soo much & just subscribed. The zipping of the tent flap & the crackling of that wonderful fire brought back such good memories, except we never made such delicious meals!!!

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

Went in the cupboard after this and there was no spam, gutted, you made me want that sandwich so much! I love weird, ebay finds, some of the stuff is so wacky but this actually looks halfway decent, especially for loved ones who are not fans of creepy crawlies. There's even a 2 person model which looks so unstable it's extra awesome 😂

Your vids make me feel peaceful and relaxed. Enjoyable! ☺️ That was cool how you started the fire with the chemicals! 🎉🔥

Cool fure starting demo. I love your simple methods and motivation to get out and camp

My man, you should definitely look into the Teton 1 person Quick tent, paired with a Teton XXL camp cot and elite rainfly that covers the whole system to the ground, making for some great storage options. Best thing is that it's waterproof! You need to make a video on it for sure.

The duck and waffles seems to be a riff on the fried chicken and waffles we have here in the States. Try sprinkling a little brown sugar on your Spam before you fry it, it's a whole different experience. Thanks for another great video!

First time watching . Peaceful, calming and informative. Thank you

you are my favorite camping channel your videos always keep me entertained! 😊

i actually kinda love this! i like the idea of a tent being off the ground to avoid creepy crawlies. plus, it would be so easy to wrap bug traps around the legs so nothing can climb up the the actual tent. perfect for bug deterrent ^w^

the space invader looks nice, well thought out (bar the total rainproofing!) hope to see more with it 😊

Wow duck and waffle sounds very very good. Sweet and savory. Thanks for posting this man. Love the tent cot idea.

Can definitely say one thing, every video I’ve watched, you’ve always eaten so well on your camping trips, good for you, as I’ve you’ve given me, some good food idea tips

The forest where you live is beautiful and rich. I love it

The world seems to be a complete train wreck right now, I escape once a week to go camping and cooking with you Andy, keep up videos, and the good work.

The tent is brilliant, and the stove also looks like a great bit of kit. Perfect set up with a decent fly-sheet. Great video, thanks

That meal looks absolutely scrumptious ! 😋 Good Job Andy!

This gentleman has taken so much time to make awesome videos ,different angles etc . Let’s give him credit for that .. not an easy task 😊In Australia 🇦🇺 I camp in a single swag .. I would really like to see you do a review on that .didn’t say goodnight inside the tent.😂

That tent looks like such great value! it comes with literally everything you need!

This looks a nice compact set up, but as you say, you'd definitely need a tarp or outer skin over that in case of rain, but could be added easily. Thanks again Andy. We are working our way through your videos. You have such a gentle manner and have a great set of kit- love your wooden bowl plate and mug and dutch oven. Look forward to your videos....giving us camping ideas too!😊

You are excellent at setting up and breaking down your campsite ⛺️

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!

I love this channel, just discovered a few weeks back. So relaxing and I love the gadgets. Thing is I hate camping but enjoy watching you doing it! You achieve great levels of home comforts while doing so.

AND FORGOT SAY I LOVE HOW YOU EXPLAIN SETTING UP DIFFERENT TENTS ⛺️ BECKY 😊XX

Looks great for indoor use if you have teens/kids staying over. Everyone gets a bit of quiet privacy!

Love the tent,❤it looks fantastic. At least no creepy crawlies can sneak in if you're off the ground. 😂😂😂

Really enjoying your uploads. Some lovely woodland in kent. I often walked around Chislehurst woods when I was growing up.

Love the knee height for older folks no rocks in the back and the door flap being a patio shade is great!

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’ve seen Tony over on ABCamping use an off the ground tent a few times. He loves them, but they seem to all suffer with NOT being waterproof. But being off the ground, especially in winter or wet weather seems a great idea.

I love all these tents you unwrap each camp...like a present

I just discovered you after a friend’s recommendation. Bloody lovely stuff mate. Inspirational. I’ve just pulled all my camping gear out and going this weekend. Cheers cobber.

Wow! That is so much better idea, than a normal tent! No lying on a cold, wet ground and you can sit there. Perfect tent.
