I'm Keith Mike. . an ex Brummie, now living near Tenby in Pembrokeshire. I've only just discovered your channel, but I'm glad I did. You seem a good fella, with a good heart. I'm an old fart of 70 now, but still do the very same things which lighten your soul.. . . The love of nature will never leave you as the years go by chap. It will always feed your spirit. Take care, and stay safe. All the best.

The sound of the rain dropping on tent,smell of fresh soil,noice of birds,wind HEAVEN ❤️

First time watching your videos. Cold and frosty morning here in southern Indiana. Your laid back rainy camp out made me so sleepy.😊 It is awesome being retired and having sweet folks like you to keep me company since I am 71 now and old body will not let me camp on the ground any more. So I make a fire in the yard and snuggle back in my comfy bed for the night. Thank you for your relaxing video. God bless you.

I love it when it's raining. Nothing better than lying there in your tent or hammock at night and listening to a good downpour.

I wouldn't be able to stay awake in a tent in the rain. Awesome.😊

I agree with everything you are saying ! My husband nd I love being out in nature as well . There isn’t anything more freeing than being out in nature!we also were living in the city and grew very tired of that as well . We now live in the country but still long to retire so that we can go camping full time ! I can’t wait to get out of this rat race and enjoy this beautiful world that our God created for us. I hope that you get to break free pretty soon too ! It’s a blessing to see someone that loves nature the way my husband and myself do . I agree with what you said there isn’t anything in this world like it !

It's one of my favorite things to sit in the tent with the rain coming down. Great post as ever Mike, Thank you,

Yes heavy rain on a tarp a beautiful sound . . Very relaxing in these crazy times . . . . .

I love your vids Mike. You’re the most chilled guy.

Greetings from America ! I DO like that tent---kind of a tarp/bivo/"pup" combo...Continue to enjoy your solitudes. Camp On !

Only just found your channel, great video and of course I've subscribed. There is nothing more relaxing than a rainy day spent in the woods listening to all the different sounds.

Love these rainy camp videos.

Cracking video from you again Mike, that rain was relentless pal. Lovely and relaxing as always from you. The little paraffin candle is a must have, great find and something I never knew you could get, thank you for sharing Mike. Cheers, Ant 👍

What could be better stress relief than rain on canvas even if you get a little damp getting there and getting back. Keep doin' what you're doin' !

Once again a wonderful video, and rain on an canvas tent is so awesome, such a soft and lovely lullaby... To be honest its the best of all Thank you for sharing this precious moment with me. All the best bushcraft greetings from Germany and thank you very much. Mother nature, the mother we all share....

Great vid mike. I always look forward to your adventures, thanks for sharing & taking us along with you.👍

Hi Mike, this takes me back, back to the late 90s was the last time I was out camping. I'm in my fifties now but I've never forgotten the stress relief I got from being out in the woods for a couple of nights. It was like magic to me. Trouble is I NEVER ever, wanted to go back home lol.

Another great video again mike thoroughly enjoyed , not only are your videos very chilled and relaxing they also have helped me choose the right kit and i have learnt alot as I am fairly new to wild camping. I have found your vidoes true inspiration to get out and enjoy my local forest and Woodlands on some short day camps , I got to say it's the perfect medicine to unwind from the rat race and pressures life throws our way. Cheers and please keep them coming

When I was a young lad I love to go camping in the rain by myself. Funny how Back then everybody thought I was crazy. And how many people including yourself, love the rain as much as I did. 👍

Dont know how I missed this one Mike. Great video, wise words, loved this one. Regards JB.

I was born in Bromsgrove, but moved down here to Brighton 22 years ago. I used to build lean to shelters and stuff with my kids, usually in the Randan woods in Dodford not too far from Bromsgrove. We loved Stourport Common, Waseley Hills, the Lickey Hills, the Clent Hills, the Malvern Hills and Cannock Chase and mooching along the Birmingham to Worcester canal! You're spot on by the way, we're born into slavery, work until we're too old to be much use, then put out to graze, and hopefully for the masters, die before we use up too much of the pension we've paid in over fifty years or so! I'm hopefully, a bit different to the run of the mill pensioner { I'm 71 now } I've done lots of camping and living off the land when I was younger, including the Spanish Alpujarras mountains, and intend to do my own thing in my own way even now! My kids say 'dad, you've got to slow down, you're in your seventies not your twenties' ! Who wants to grow old gracefully? not me, growing old disgracefully is the way to go as far as I'm concerned! A while ago I was driving home from a solo, overnight fishing trip to Hayling Island and saw a lad around 18 / 20 maybe, thumbing in the rain, so I stopped and picked him up because his sign said 'Worthing' and I was going through there anyway! He never said much after he'd thanked me, but a few minutes later he piped up with 'you shouldn't really pick up hitchikers, what if I was a serial killer'? So I stared hard at him for a second or two then gave a crazy laugh and started shaking my head from side to side! 'No way' I said giving him the mad look again ' what are the chances of two of us being in the same car at the same time'? Then to seal the lad's fright, I yelped like a wolf and winked at him! We were on the outskirts of Worthing by now and he asked me to drop him at the next bus stop? so I said 'are you sure? I was hoping to keep you with me for a few more hours or so'! I pulled up at the stop and he was out of the car like greased lightening! All the way home I was expecting blue lights and armed police to be pulling me over, but they never did of course! My missus wasn't too impressed when I told her, neither were my two daughters when she told them! But, I've always been the one out of step with the rest of society, from my poaching days up until now, and hopefully beyond for a few more years yet! When I was a bus driver in Brighton I spent more time in the boss's office than his desk did, mainly for upsetting passengers with my weird sense of humour! Sorry if I've bored you at all, but once I started typing, I didn't want to stop! Anyway, I love your vids mate, it takes me back to better, and simpler times, without all this political correctness and so many other restrictions to our freedom!

I believe that wild camping is good for the soul. I was a factory worker for years and camping was my release. I am now retired. I have brought a super grade Dutch Army tent and I cannot wat to get out there and use it. Have subscribed as your content and filming is first class, Sleeping under canvas is the best. My Basha spans 90" so I am covering the tent with it when raining

You sir are a class act ! Take care & all the best, Neil.

Thanks Mike, another great video. All the best mate Clive

great video Micky thank you. I find rainfall on a tent very relaxing .it makes you feel better in yourself. I've never liked busy shopping centres and I always feel loads better when I escape to the countryside, with my flask of tea . all the best tony from Leicester UK

I am impressed with your ability to make a shelter that keeps the rain out. That angle must have been perfect.

Mike, you've done it again, my friend! That was fuel for my soul and my nature spirit is recharged again by your joy and enthusiasm for this superb woodland. Thank you for sharing the experience of such a quality camp. Atvb, Michael

Peaceful, gentle, joy time with you. Thank you for sharing. And sharing thoughts, that are so similar to mine. I don't feel so alone now. Thank you. I miss my times out in the wild of nature. The sounds of rain was uplifting.

Great to see you out again Mike, I love rain too its great to hear you say you do, sometimes I feel like i'm the only one in the world, can't stand it how people moan about rain, This is a great video so relaxing & the music suits it 1st class, & a beautiful woods Thanks for sharing look forward to seeing you again

Absolutely love this channel! I stumbled across it by chance. KZfaq is full of content, but it’s nice to see someone closer to home. You’re doing a really good job! The quality of the content is excellent and really engaging. I could watch these all day! I hope the channel continues to grow and gain support. Best of luck, Andy 🙂

I really enjoyed your video. This world was created for God's pleasure, and for man to enjoy. His creation is so amazing. I can't help but imagine how much better the garden of Eden was, before man gave in to temptation. Sadly, so many never get close enough to this beautiful creation to truly appreciate it. We need to be thankful for what has been given us. Getting out in to nature puts things back into perspective, and makes me feel so thankful for being able to enjoy it. Thanks for posting.

Gives me encouragement to get my own Dutch tent out. Fabsiled and ready to go..... Great vid

Another amazing video so relaxing watching you enjoying nature

Hi mate, great to see you out again. Totally agree with you about the stress of life at times, and thats why we do what we do mate, great just to get away from it all. Spend most of my time sea fishing now, just great to be out enjoying nature, and all it has to offer...loved your set up, nice and simple. The bass look nice and tasty, bet it when down a treat lol..looking forward to you next camp, Have a great week mike, and all the best to you and your family..Chris. .👍👍👍👍

Great video as always Mike. Always brilliant time spent out with you in the woods. All the best amigo x

Sure must have been nice to breathe the rain-scrubbed air after working in a factory. Nice of ya to bring us along. Thank you.

Well. Once again. a naff day at work. But treated to this when I got home. Absolutely lovely. Thankyou :)

Thanks for another fantastic video,makes me feel better watching you even if I can’t get out and do a wild camp this week,and your 100% right about society/modern life these days.we need to get out more and connect with nature and what’s really important.

The things that you do make the real difference!

Love the intro mate, really nice music too, so relaxing with the sound of the rain on the leaves and the tent, nice chat too, people being part of the machine and becoming more detached from nature, although lately it seems to be becoming cool again to get out into the outdoors, bushcraft, wild camping, as long as people stick to the leave no trace and respect nature it's a good thing. Definitely good to get a break from working life and soak some nature up. I've got a similar titanium stove , only used it once but gonna give it another run out soon. Sea bass and stir fry 👌 delicious, I like the look of them UCO lantern and burner, great shot with the deer calls too 👍, top video mate, all the best 👍👍

grew up in Seattle and get the same positive feeling from sound of the rain, the fish looks tasty

Excellent video loved it so relaxing.Liked your meal also good job!! Looking forward to the next one.

It didn't stop raining the whole time practically Mike. I noticed it slowed down as night fell, which was good. Allowed you to get that good nights sleep. I've just written a note down about the UCO lamp. I have seen the paraffin burners before but really need to get one in to use the UCO I have. Good camp mate. All the best. Mark P.S as mentioned on instagram I gave you a mention in my last but one video - severn siters. It was a good hike and talk if interested. Peace!

Agreed! I love rain.

I was game for the rain last night till it started to pore and my tent started to leak on every seam. I normally like the rain but I can't sleep wet, great day fishing though and new friends new possible camp sites . Many things learned !

Been following your channel a little while, really like your relaxed and philosophical way of presenting, really nice. There is also a sincere kindness to your videos, look forward to many more, they’re really enjoyable and lift ones spirits.

Your best vid yet, we all feel the same way regarding the way we live today, huge respect to you sir.

You make camping in the rain a very enjoyable adventure!❤️

Mike your vids are the absolute dogs b......x, I always look forward to watching them, n what you've said about society today I couldn't agree more with you, great great vid Mike, I to have Dutch army tent and there great for the money, not had an issue with it although not been out yet with rain like we've had lol, I bought mine after you did a review on it months ago, a dare say I will be buying one of those burners now to lol, great vid, great guy, cheers Mike all the best. Regards Lee

Mike You my friend are a credit to today's society keep living the dream. Best wishes from Cardiff.

Brilliant Mike your right about the way we live! The way forward is backwards if we are to survive guess what I am having for tea 👍

Top vid once more Mike. That scran! Great tip about keeping the fish fresh, although the weather we've had this summer so far has been like a fridge eh? Ace to see you out and enjoying yourself once more. Thanks for the time you spend making these vids, they are a real treat.👍🏻

Excellent - and very welcome video Mike, cheers!

Excellent video helping me get my fix of the outdoors whilst recovering from knee surgery love the tent and the sound of the rain just completed the video

Nice! An improved version of the Dutch Army tent!💪

Lol, Your little moan-up is spot on in this video! I’ve ordered the Dutch Army Tent from Military Mart. Look forward to more videos from your good self in the future. Take care in the current climate 👍🏻

Bostin that Our Kid. Started off a bit deep, but I fully concur and I found my way of getting off the Hamster Wheel, but wish I could've done it at your age. I had to watch this long video in three stages and just finished viewing from the point where you're cooking your fish (Bostin Fittle,) at the crack of dawn here on my recliner in Bulgaria. Set me up nicely for the day ahead. Keep smiling and don't allow the Buggers to get you down. Loved the editing where you come in through the canvas into your sleeping bag, clever. ATVB Robert.

It's good that when the music starts, I'm not having to turn the volume down. Thanks.

Fair play for getting out in that wether mate. I love the sound of the rain on canvas.

Enjoying your company from my hozzy bed. Wish youtube had smellyvision, nothing like a natural environment, gonna enjoy this one Mike x

Cracking video Mike. I love the different shades of greens in that woodland. The evening light with the paraffin lamp and the deer barking. Magic. ATB Lee.

BCW, nice stealth setup very low profile and in the rain. Very relaxing listening to the rain under a tarp or in a tent👍 Thanks for sharing atb Taff 🤠

great video and I agree with your comments about life and the rat race keep up the great work

Theres only one way.....and that's youre own! ;) Top vid mate!

Dear Sir; Yours was a very comforting and welcoming video. I have spent many a day in the rainy bush, and this brought back good memories, and listening to your down home philosophizing was calming for the spirit. Thank-you. Edit:- The oil burner for your candle lantern is also my choice. Sometimes, due to wind or a sloppy wick, the candles burn evenly and can make a bit of a mess with dripping wax in your tent and a speeded up burn time. The oil insert eliminates this problem. 👍

Very nice work Mike. Loved the sound of rain on the tent. I was sitting with you. Now its Alexa play thunder storm sounds.... not quite the same lol

Very enjoyable and very relaxing great video

Just found your channel. What a pleasant surprise it was .. thanks. There's nothing better or soothing than listening to raindrops falling on the roof .. be it a tent , building or whatever. Enjoyed your life philosophy ... there's too much emphasis placed on material possessions ... rush to do evwrything ... no value anymore on life and what it has to offer. The rat race has affected everyone's health coz no time for the sights sounds and health benefits of the outdoors ... real country style living where if it doesn't happen today it may do tomorrow or sometime. Love the vlog and your choice of music made it all so peaceful in the wet. Like to get some details on the little burner as not seen that one before. Great quality vlog ... keep 'em coming we'll be waiting. Bushyboy Oz.

Iowa enjoyed watching your camping! So peaceful! Beautiful woodlands. Thank you for sharing with us your trip. 😀

You've absolutely nailed it again Mike, great editing and production and you are fast becoming a KZfaq celebrity. Its always uplifting for soul and spirit to see out celebrating the peaceful mood of the forest, quality my friend, keep going you are becoming a national treasure. Atb. Harry

Good video, very relaxing to watch nice one .👍👍👍👍

brilliant I love a rain camp

Love the rain bro, nothing better to soothe the soul!!! good on you

WHAT A COZY BEAUTIFUL AREA/NEST!!!

i think about what we meant to live and the plastic world we actually have to live in all the time. like you im a outdoorsy person. im getting older now, but up until i was in my 40s i spent more time camping , wild / survival camping than i did at home. i still go but with life and commitments its not as much anymore. if i could id live outdoors. in the forest. in a mudhut and be just fine with that.

Rain camping super 👌 👍😍

What an uplift, no I'm noy that sardonic. that truly is a very nice tent. Sacrafice is what's needed too enjoy a life like you're apparently leading.

Great day out!. I'm in full agreement with you...its the best when it's raining....so soothing and relaxing with your thoughts, it doesn't get any better ... perfect!! Nice one!

Thanks for the poetry and the link to poet. Thank you.

Nice setup lovely video 👍

I just discovered and subscribed to your videos, I really enjoy them ,thank you for sharing.

Sorry to keep commenting I've just found your channel lovely but I'M UNBELIEVABLY JELOUS OF YOU this is my ideal life xxxx

I love this one ❤super relaxing wow my piece of heaven out in the woods in the rain 👍🌲🌳🌳🌲🌧 Just need loads of snow now🤞🌨❄

Good morning Black Country Woodsman. I am sure many of your viewers would agree there is nothing like listening to the rain to calm the mind & soul. Beautiful sights & sounds of Mother Nature. Simplistic life for Humans is something becoming quite rare, the demands now being made by authorities forcing us into their scheme of things to get that control is not that far away from becoming a reality. I do not believe it is how it should be living in concrete boxes. Travel safely & be happy. Oh by the way at the end of your video what species was making that croaky, grunty soundz.

Great video 👍

I just love the place and your adventure, thanks for sharing

Great video and I like your outlook on life and the way things are going for society. Makes a big difference getting out in nature though. Good on you my friend.

Yo Mike just watched the vid. Iam actually in a rural village in Thailand away from all the tourist a good reset. Its supposed to be rainy season(and it can rain) here but not in the village.. Regards the rat race here they're some very poor people who cannot afford to get in to it, no mobiles TV ect but every night all the family sit down together for a meal.. They don't know how lucky they are.. Great vid as always..

Great video mike, Love your look on life, I think most of us within our community think tbe same that's why we all try and get out as much as we can, let me know if you're ever down south, ATB Glen.

I heard this tent is full of holes and not waterproof at all. So this will be an interesting watch.

Thank you for this. Also thank you for letting us share your thoughts.

There are many who feel the same way Mike... My Grandaughter is sitting here with me and said "sounds like you Boo"... The clock is indeed ticking. On a lighter note, your vids always let the light in ❤ Dont even have to wait till thr end of your vids to give it a thumbs up 😊

Good vid. The bee coming out the beautiful flower was AMAZING

Loved this 👍

Life don't get any better paul lungley

when water 💦 falling on the tent 🏕 wawoo that sound.....so lovely really i injoy lot thanks 🙏 bro for naturally video

I love that weather. So jealous! Wish I were there camping too!

Fantastic! Simply fantastic! 👍🏻

Thanks for taking me along rely enjoyed it

Excellent Mike..keep up the good work..Atb Rob :-)
