Try getting your Steel Toe Cap Work-Boots at a Size Larger than your actual Foot Size Dan, be Comfortable at Work too Mate. Many people make the Mistake of getting their Work Boots at the exact Same Size as their Regular Footwear, like Trainers or Shoes? Big Mistake.

[@duckypam]

I love that you're a chatty camper. I get tired of the guys who just chop wood and build stuff without talking.

[@TwoHandUke]

Hi Dan, the reason most of us join is for the chat and humour. When it is mixed with a chilled out camp, it is thoroughly entertaining. I wait for your uploads every week. Many thanks, THU.

[@robstrong5734]

love the talking about stuff Dan. can never be enough of you chatting to your subscribers. another brilliant video mate. 👍

[@RaynarNslR]

Believe it or not, it was the works Christmas do last night. I got the best present ever. I have now got a permission woodland to camp in🥳. Now I can be that person! Thanks Dan for your channel, you have inspired me to get out there along with Bushman Mick and Scott. Great vid as always, stay safe atb 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍🦊

[@mikecunningham8261]

No you do not talk to much. Your a nice person and I enjoy listening to you. You have great videos. Cheers from the USA.

[@alexandersnider734]

Hey man, thanks for going over the animals in the UK. That is something I've always wondered about. Honestly, not having to worry about Bears, Mountain Lions, or Rattlesnakes would be great. They are always the last thing I'm thinking about when I fall asleep out camping :(

[@mtbalot]

I was sleeping in my pickup-up truck in the bush one time, and woke to feel the truck rocking from side to side, I shat it. Shined the torch to see a cow scratching its arse on the tail light LMFAO Every hair on my back stood up hahaha

[@jeffjohnstone4362]

There's a newer version of that bivvy with a hoop at the foot end as well plus the door is double skinned with a full mesh inner one for star gazing if the weather suits. It's called the Geertop Plume II. I was out in mine last night.

[@MrAustina35]

Hi Dan, I used to have one of those gas lights. I used to light it by turning the gas on and holding the match under the burner. As the gas is heavier than air it ignites so you don't need to take the top off each time. I've now subscribed to the vegan outdoorsman. Nearly at his first thousand. Great video again.

[@andykjohnsonjohnson7622]

Nice video Dan 👍👍. Yeah here in B.C 🇨🇦, we have to take precautions on camping . Big knives, firearms, bear spray, as we have alot of wild life. That will take you out. Blk Bears 800lb + , cougars, Coyotes, Wolf's. The werst are raccoons, sneaky little Buggers 🙁. Will take every advantage on you, & they are NOT afraid of you. I always take my dog with me, he can sense approaching danger. So it's a symbiosis collaboration, he has my back & I have his. I watched every moment 👍👌 Dan , as I grow up in England 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿, then moved to Canada 🇨🇦 28 years ago. I miss the English country side 😢

[@jenny8344]

There’s no need to remove the top of the lamp to light it. Just poke the lighted match through the gap between the top and the glass. Worked for me every time. Unfortunately they are not good in windy conditions .

[@onemanandhiszebra]

Thanks for bringing us along with you on your camp. No, you don't chat too much. It's why we watch. Take Care.

[@rexbell7963]

Never too much talking Dan. Your personality and honest conversation is what makes your vids so enjoyable to watch. Just continue to be yourself!

[@grahamgetsabout2672]

If we wanted slick processionally edited and performed videos we would watch mainstream tv and be bored stiff. You are straight down the line Dan. A real English woodsman doing his thing and sharing it with us. 👍

[@mjfeder]

Just discovered your channel I recently did a wild camp without even knowing it was illegal but I enjoyed it so much that I’ve bought a load of new gear and il be venturing out again soon. My wife thinks I’m mad as I’m nearly 50 but it felt great being out in the wild

[@BulldogBadger]

“Reminds me of cat food” 🤣🤣🤣 Looked nasty that lol

[@BulldogBadger]

Never too much talking mate, thats why we watch👍

[@eddie8826]

I enjoy your videos as you are open and honest about things, you forget something almost all of the time (like everyone else), you seem so happy just to be out camping. You keep talking and waffling on, it's part of the appeal, who can honestly say that they don't waffle on or forget the names of things? You have gained yourself another subscriber, keep the videos coming.

[@prillan5113]

Hej man nice video, I enjoyed it. First one I’ve seen from your channel. Just a quick tip, might work or it might not it depends. But usually my experience with MRE’s is that the flameless heater works better if you fill it slightly above the dotted line and use warmer water if possible. Also let the chemical pad soak up as much water as possible. You can kind of tilt the bag so the ”chem pad” can do it’s job. Let me know if it works better when/if you try it!

[@markedryden6282]

The carboot sales will be on soon.You can pick up some cheap old school camping kit.Ive got one of those gas lights,there canny.

[@heiscoming4373]

I love your channel Dan! I always watch your channel and AB Camping out of New Zealand. Chill channels that make me think I’m right there camping with y’all. Keep the uploads coming!

[@joemurray3133]

If you use longer 6 inch matches it's easier to light 🔥🔥👍👍👍👍👍

[@nigeljones8202]

Not talking too much in my opinion. Just giving a commentary and a few thoughts. Always enjoy your video's, good reviews on gear and practical tips. And honesty 👍

[@dianastapley1184]

Hi Dan, I am old and live alone, and I use to do a lot of camping ⛺️ in my youth, before the arthritis set in. And I just love the humour and banter between you and vegan outdoorsman. 😂🤣😂 please keep up the wonderful blogs, I binge watch them!!!😅

[@joepublic573]

hey dan - thinking about your "booties" - have you ever thought of using a pair of oversized proper wool (100%) socks? - i have noticed that a wool duvet is just as warm (if not more so) than a down one. just a thought :)

[@mattwatkins6282]

Enjoyed the chat on this one Dan - it adds to the feeling that we're there on the camp. Great vid as always!

[@gavinmcleanmathieson6357]

F'@@k them if you want to wear trainers then do it Dan. I am the same wear boots all week then stick me trainers on.😀😀😀 Love the channel

[@hmoorby]

Great video Dan, absolutely hilarious 😂. Take care mate. Looking forward to the next one.

[@markoconnor6801]

Just to let you know mate,we do have a poisonous snake an adder,usually found in country side use to watch them as a kid on holiday in North Wales and warned by teacher's in Cheshire to be careful during school holidays, keep it up buddy great 👍.

[@spenceoutdoorsscotland3516]

Yeah often see adders up here in the highlands in summer. Got loads of wild boar up here to they sound scary when a load of them come walking past your tent at night lol but they take of soon as they see you

[@markoconnor6801]

Yeah wild boar reminds me of Berlin the Greunwald brave squaddies climbing trees to get away from them 😆

[@Leo-mf1yo]

I love your accent. Funny too how you describe your dinner as cat food. It's your conversation that I love.

[@BulldogBadger]

Nice one Dan really enjoyed all 56 mins 👏👏👏

[@maxineredfern3380]

Don’t ever change your channel is spot on Dan 👍keep doing what your doing. The gas light, just slip the glass upward and light it at the bottom mate, you don’t have to take the top off if it’s the same one Iv got. 👍

[@BulldogBadger]

My channel stats say the same that most of my viewers arn’t subscribed, weird isn’t it

[@BulldogBadger]

That OEX Mat packs away tiny I might see if I can find one for summer, I want to get one of those gertop bivvys too that looks spot on mate 👍

Hi Dan, just chilling on the sofa on a day off and watching this video of you has been just the chilled out relaxed video I needed. Fab fella, will be watching more.

The longer your video and the more you talk makes me pour out a bigger glass of brandy and coke so its a winner for me, trainers are good for camping easy to slip on and off when getting up for a wazz...🤣🤣 Great channel never change unless you want to..

Jezzzz ur a brave man... that looked awful... cant beat a jammie dodger... as usual enjoying the craic....

[@fatmanfaffing4116]

Dan, those Gaz lamps are great but... the mantle is a pain to fit and they are fragile. I just use rechargeable LED units now, both headlamp and lantern. As for the trainers... I wear them because they are comfortable and get the job done. There is a saying that every pound on your feet adds ten to your back. I wear some very light Sketchers. I bought a pair of Merrell Moab 2 which are designed for trail hiking but they are 500g heavier and not as comfortable. Keep up the great work, never lose the Yorkshire accent; it's great to hear after 50 years in Australia. I'm originally from Stockton-on-Tees.

12:00 camp slippers - A great idea, especially in the colder months .. But, like an increasing number of people nowadays, I won't buy down anything - the way the down is sourced sometimes very, very grim. Modern synthetic just as warm, and often cheaper too. #DownOnDown #AnimalRights
