I went for a walk, in a rainy wet wood. Passed some trees, as you should. I spied a bloke, sat in a Tepee, drinking beer and talking to himself. I thought, that poor bloke, must be off his shelf. I carried on walking until the end, then I realized, it was Sandy, my KZfaq friend 📹. I love the sound of rain on a tent or canvus.

Steak and veggies, San Miguel, strong coffee and a night in the tent listening to the rain patter on the canvas, sounds like heaven :-)

That sound of heavy rain on the tarp is total relaxation. Really enjoy these solo wild camps Sandy 😉👍

I have been looking forward to more wild camp videos. Thanks a lot, really enjoyed this one!

Cycling and camping out is just awesome. Do it all the time out here in Australia. Never get tired of it for sure. Love you camp out videos mate. Well done.

There is something special being in a tent when it is shite weather, especially if the rain stays outside of it.

Getting the eye mended has given you the ability to find joy in life again. Glad to see you happy again!

Nothing more therapeutic than rain on canvas, very relaxing video. I’m not sure that I’d have a naked flame in a tent though.

The rain and shelter thereof, great sleeping conditions.

Looks like a nice quiet place to relax. Weather has turned to perfect here and I will be heading to the Cumberland River for some trout fishing. I might just take a tent this time and leave the RV at home. You're a great inspiration Sandy.

Nice one Sandy, the grub looks so good 😇.

It's funny how being in the rain is so relaxing, nice camp 🏕

you are awesome love the woofers stay safe stay strong say hi to Mrs Wiltshire Man best regards Martin King

Good to see you off the motorcycle and in the woods again.

I had such a gas burner. They do make a lot of racket, but indeed, in the colder days propane can't handle it. Good therapy, just even watching this 👍

I’m surprised you didn’t pass out when you was blowing that mat up Mr W. Great video again, thank you 👍

I had my welli's on watching this cold and damp video, Sandy you make very interesting and enjoyable videos you must have a fire in your body to enable you to do this kind of camping.

Sandy, it was therapy for me also. Watched it before settling down for sleep and it really relaxed me. Ta.

Love your laid back and relaxed videos. And you're a biker. Man after my own heart. Keep 'em coming.

I find your camping videos very peaceful and calming.

You can’t beat listening to the sound of the rain. 👍

It’s good to see you are enjoying your camping adventures Sandy…. It helps to keep you fit Iam sure.

Nothing like the sound of rain on the tent to lull you off to sleep, good to see you had 'plenty' of food. 😉

Hi sandy. Another lovely relaxing solo Camp. Thank you for taking us along Old dave

very nice video Sandy ,thanks for scharing👍

Cheers for the heads up, safe journey to Wales, look forward to seeing your film of the trip.

Rain is one of the most soothing sounds that nature has to offer, especially when you are tucked inside a shelter with a good roof. Your videos with your foul weather camping and exploring definitely serve as an inspiration to us all not to let inclimate weather prevent us from enjoying the outdoors. Thanks for sharing this relaxing experience with us Sandy. See you on the next one.

Lashing it down we say up north not lagging lol.great video mate keep them coming 👍

Lovely wild camp video. 👏👏👏 tnx es 73s

Enjoyed the video, steak and roast veg under canvas on a cold, wet, stormy night, brilliant.

Sandy does these videos to a tee

The sound of rain on canvas does wonders for my insomnia - thanks Sandy

Ahh what a real relaxing camp Sandy. Peaceful sounds of a rain storm, love it. Also loving the stove and the food. Top camp mate 👍

Love the rain when camping.

Nice little outing Sandy, I used to have the same shelter and stood up really well to some very wet and windy nights on Dartmoor, like all those silnylon jobs it did benefit from seam sealing. I also have a mini trangia and used the little frying pan for years, thanks for posting.

A meal fit for a king only person i know who enjoys camping in the rain 👍

Life’s simple pleasures , thank you for sharing .

The morning is beautiful! What a perfect way to end a wonderful camping night. 😃

Good health to you Sir.

Did you ever try the Stormin Stove system alcohol stove? It’s a thin metal cone that encloses the alcohol burner and supports the pot. I believe the man in the UK that made them passed away. The Caldera cone is similar and sold in the US by Trail Designs.

Lovely vlog Sandy! We live in a Luton box van, and love the sound of Rain on the roof, and if we get strong winds, it rocks the van and is very relaxing 👍

I enjoy your videos as they are very relaxing to watch.

Its always therapeutic to see you out under the leaves and rain Sandy, and a good choice of San Migel, nice hop after taste. Really enjoy the pace of your film, clearly as did you. Until next time, be well. Atb. Harry

Good to see you out camping Sandy. I was watching the bike ones, but this is more what I’m into👍🏻

Excellent upload Sandy 👌🏻

Happy Birthday, Sandy. If it makes you feel any better, I have a Trangia still in the box as well. I'd like to be able to cook a steak in my tent, but I'd be visited in the night by a large hairy beast. 🐻🙂👍

A great camp Sandy, definitely something I love being tucked up in my sleeping bag with the sound of the rain on the canvas above my head. Best 73s

Hi Sandy another great video, I do love the sound of rain on a tarp or tent, it is so relaxing. I like the coffee bag you had I must keep an eye out for those, any way take care and I look forward to the next video, best regards to Mandy.

Great to see you out about in nature. it's lovely time of year for wild camping.🍄⛺☀

Great video bro, the old disappearing trick 99 that was smart. All the best

Great video always a pleasure to watch….

Did wonder if you were out or not lol as i knew you could not resist a storm and some rain. 😁 classic Wiltshire man at his best ♥️👍😊😊

Just what i needed Sandy thanks 👍

Sandy I've been waiting on a camp like this. I know the sleep was wonderful!. Looking forward to snow and hot tent.

Well, Happy Birthday. My 60th passed 2 months back. Good to see you in that forest. That storm is supposed to hit us also but probably worse north of us. Stay safe and healthy my friend!

LOL Sandy I wish we could have some sun. Nothing but rain this week.

Another enjoyable video. Yes protecting yourself from Ticks is a good idea. I got bitten by one but didn't know that at the time but got very unwell until Lyme's disease set in. It's taken me 3 years now to recover. Keep well. Bye Stuart 😊🔆

Looking good Sandy. The eye op was a big success. Perfect camp x

Ah, therapy, we all need therapy. I find spanish sunshine works better for me than Wiltshire rain.

Cracking video Sandy good to see you back in the woods cooking a nice bit of food atvb jimmy 😎😎👍👍

Lovely rainy video! Cheers, from new subscriber and wannabe wild camper from the Netherlands!

Such a relaxing watch and camp for you. Love the sound of rain, normally with a large whisky :-) Interested to know who makes those coffee brew bags? The eye is looking good. Stay Safe.

Just in case i forget `HAPPY BIRTHDAY` :-) That steak looked very nice and tasty. We have just come back from Devon, We were lucky with the weather :-) Your eye looks a lot better `brilliant`.

good see you back out in the tent keep up the good vids lee

Great video as always

Lovely job Sandy! You are so lucky to have such a great place to camp so close to home. Fantastic job with your eye matey. Keep them coming bud! TTFN.

Great job Sandy 👍🍻

Hi Sandy, really good to see you back in the woods again. Food looked great for a one man meal. I love seeing your wood or any of your camping videos. Always something new to see and always something to learn . Well done mate keep them coming. best regards.

as long as I am warm enough and at this particular time in my life I sleep V hot to me rain on fabric is like sleeping pills maybe 20 mins or so listening then I'm gone

Very relaxing 🙃

Ah, I enjoyed that. Thanks for taking us along with you, W.M. You're a gent.

Always looking forward to your videos

Love these videos Sandy, as i said you learn a lot just watching you picking up tips as you go along, I am surprised you did not get the Eggs and Bacon on for a breakfast before you left, look forward to the next video, regards, Colin.

Very good bruv, weather very bad yesterday.

Hope your both well sandy

I love a little rain. And you blowing up your mattress. Nice, like the good old days. Everybody is in need of a therapy for the body and soul. Cheers Jack.

Cracking camp Sandy and yes it lagged it down all night lol , a nice chilled woodland camp with some fine dining . atb Dave

Nice camp

These woods look magical! Thanks for the great video, I love how varied they all are. This one made me laugh out loud!! Especially the discovery of the Puff Ball mushroom v Lurcher 🤣 we have 2 and can totally relate!! 😉🤣

Therapy Sandy yes, we all require it and listening to the rain on your tarp was very therapeutic no doubt. Your meal looked marvellous. Last night's storm was a humdinger with thunder just before first light here this morning. Long live the Lumix. Paul 👍😊

I had a funny feeling that your’d be heading to the woods in this weather. It was very heavy rain & high winds here in Sussex. Nice dinner! Hope you had a great Birthday?!

Sandy you’re awesome and have a wonderful outlook on life. Here at the bottom of the NZ north island and the weather is warming up and lifting my spirits as I look forward being to move me old bones with more freedom. I was hoping to visit my old village Shrivenham left there 1974 but this COVID thing closing down travel kinda put ‘the mockers’ on it aye. Watching your video this Thursday morning eating hot scones a song by Stills-Young band came into my head so I want to dedicate that to both you and your darling wife, ‘Long May you run’. Hope I’m not being too cheeky. Kind regards Robert and Ann

I love a rain camp mate , Thankyou for uploading, I am in my hammock in the wet woodland.. PS , DONT TELL MY BOSS 🤣🤣

Sandy it was so relaxing almost spilled my coffee great video as always . The weather here water if you in San Diego is also cooling down but doesn't look like we will be getting much rain here, and what we do get goes into the ocean great place for water I guess but no worries there making desalination plants all over the coast line . The Politicians here do not believe in damns might save to much water ,after all NO one can make money with free water. Happy trails

Pitter patter, raindrops. So relaxing. I'm not keen on those single use plastic coffee bags, and I guarantee they cost an arm and a leg. I just dump ground coffee in my mug, and leave it for 5 minutes to settle. All the best, Sandy.

Makes me realise I’m spoilt with the caravan 😂

Truly inspirational!

Good to see you out under canvas Sandy, I still use a Optimus Hunter great little stove that all fold in to its container.

That’s about as chilled as a wild camp can get 👍 My style, very enjoyable thank you

I always say the same....your steak ha ha, glorious indeed!!!

The rain was relentless on Thursday evening in this area!! I very recently subscribed to your channel and have been watching your videos. Im new to solo camping and have recently bought all my gear. Had a couple of set ups in my garden but not yet ventured out into the wild. I enjoyed your video of The Ridgeway walk as i have my eyes on this for an adventure next spring, i live in Swindon but have relatives in Bedfordshire so if i do the ridgeway i can meet up with family at Ivinghoe Beacon when i arrive there. What tips can you offer for a first oveenighter solo camp please, i have to say im quite nervous about it but i just need to do it now before i start over thinking it! Thanks in advance. Please keep the videos coming 👍

A nice outing in the rain 👍. The little Trangia Mini is one of my favourite Cook Kits. I've added two bowls from a 70's 'Evernew Aluminium Camping Bowl Set' and a Tatonka 18cm SS Bowl. The lot nest very nicely into one another and there is not much that I cannot do with this setup. A caution .. there can be quite a bit of heat transfer through the bottom of the Pot Stand / Wind Screen. To take care of this, a piece of Silicon Mat cut to fit into the Mini Pan works fine (also better protection for the pan during storage) .. and .. a plastic cable tie cut and trimmed to suit and turned inside out keeps the jaws of the Pot Gripper together when stored. Take care ..

Yumm that looked great always jealous of your scans, what a camp Sandy, love the sound of rain it really is therapy which I hope did you well. What did you use for the waterproofing? cheers

Good vid you make it look easy ! I wild camped SDW near Burton Down Tuesday night got pummeled by the storm in Rab ridge raider wet and wild

Really great video Sandy, thanks for sharing with us, what was the Coffee like, I know its quite expensive , is it worth it. Take care. Danny (jacklore screensaver)

Nice camp sandy 👍. I'm getting me some of those coffee bags to try you know me and coffee . Not used my trangia mini since we did the D'Arcy doulton way. Sorry to here your lumix died at least now you have an excuse to get the sony RX100 vii. Lol. Cheers sandy Atb Joe.

Thanks for sharing Sandy. Really enjoyed it. It was therapy for me.

Hi Sandy. We just love your wild camping videos down here in NZ. Keep them coming. 👍

Sorry to hear about the camera! Always when you least expect it. I have a Lumix G10 camera body lurking around you're more than welcome to have to keep you going until you can replace the G7. It's a slightly lower spec, but the micro 4/3d's lenses will fit. I upgraded to a G90, so the G10 is a bit redundant now (getting dusty ona shelf). Feel free to get in touch and I can post it!

Sandy..love your video..from eastern Canada VE9DSO
