Camping with the Dutch Army tent - Hottest day of the year so far.

[@ivormoraywildcamper2447]

Good video Alan. The dutch army tent really blends into the woodland at this time of year. Looks bloody good.👍

[@jim-bob-outdoors]

Great tent, just too warm for this time of year.

Even my sweat sweated in sympathy! Although I empathise with loud music, I guess there has to be some advantage to being deaf as a post at times lol 😂

[@jim-bob-outdoors]

I ended up in just my pants in the sleeping bag. It was bloody hot over night.

Great video Allan. Looked like a brilliant spot and certainly sounded peaceful. The constant birdsong is just the best. So, are the zips on the Dutch tent its Achille's heel? Will it/does it always let in water during/after rainfall? By the sounds of things, the placing of the zips is very important. Really enjoyed the video Allan; best wishes.

[@jim-bob-outdoors]

Thanks John. I have had mine a few years and its never leaked on me. Long as you treat the canvas ( I do mine once a year) and leave the ends of the zips out, they should be fine. Most cases when they leak is due to poor setup and people not looking after a 30+ year old tent. They are ex-military and some have had a hard life with holes and poor repairs. Al.

[@johnpirie3800]

Thanks for that Al. Appreciate your comments. Hope your well and best wishes for the new year and I'll see you on your next video. Regards.@@jim-bob-outdoors

Hi Jim Bob great video, liked your bandana 😊💝🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿 xxxx

[@jim-bob-outdoors]

Thank you kindly, I use it at work when its hot.

Great video chap. I spent a couple of wks kipping in my car, the 1st 9 days i was at a mates and cud stay out of the sun, the last few were on a field in stevenage at the unofficial preppers meet where me and most of the other were gathered in a tight bunch under the shade of my friends shelter being chased by the sun smothered in factor 50. Thankfully next year we will be in the woods there! I feel for you with the music. Even if its good music its not helpful when u need to go to kip.

[@jim-bob-outdoors]

I enjoyed the camp, music aside. 😂

[@herbsmith6871]

Very nice my friend 🤠

[@jim-bob-outdoors]

Thank you! Cheers! 👍

[@thesteakdetective]

I Say Allan Old Chap! That's a warm one then but great choice with the Dutch Army being able to open both sides up like that is a game changer. The old mob at the big house are up to their old sacrificial rituals then on a Saturday night 🤣 Great camp mate and a great time to get out behind enemy lines. Great choice to avoid the Beaches with the rest of the 🇬🇧 population 🙄✌️😁 splendid Old Chap!

[@jim-bob-outdoors]

Thanks for watching Steve, it sure was a warm one.

[@j.scampingandoutdoors]

Awesome video sir

[@jim-bob-outdoors]

So nice of you to say so. Thanks for that.

Can I recommend a series of books I absolutely love? It's from a genre called urban fantasy (magic but set in the modern era). Its by an author by the name of Jim Butcher called The Dresden Files (first book is called Storm Front). One of the many things I enjoy about the series is the use of folklore, mythology and 'old gods)' from around the world, particularly as the series progresses. 🙂

[@jim-bob-outdoors]

Sounds interesting. 👌

[@rachaelwyatt754]

we saw some high back chairs in the Range today about £40:00 each I think. too rich for my blood :) Allan was that a BCB set?

[@jim-bob-outdoors]

It was the set from the Bushcraft store.

[@rachaelwyatt754]

thank you :)

Great camp m8. I take my dog nala. Its my first year camping and i tuck 5 liters of water as there is no natral spŕings.she drank 4 litres with in 6 hours so i had to leave all stuff to do a 1 houre round gurney to get more lol. Love your longer vids m8

[@jim-bob-outdoors]

I really miss having a dog, but its just not practical for me at the moment. The videos are always longer when I am solo because I get board on my own. 😁

[@jim-bob-outdoors]

Just subbed your channel. 👍👍

[@nm-ge4tb]

👍👍👍👍

[@TimmyBobinson]

My perspiration was sweating today. 😅

[@jim-bob-outdoors]

It was pretty humid. The temperature was not too high, but the humidity was a killer.

[@bencox7190]

Always really enjoyed your videos thanks Alan but particularly so for the least 3 months. Not sure why but perhaps expressing some of your personal life and opinions that I very much sympathise with. P.S. I always thought you were 5 ft 5 until you said recently.

[@jim-bob-outdoors]

I get the chance to film a bit more when doing a solo, its less hassle than trying to film around others. 6ft barefoot, little more with my boots on. 😁

[@CliffordShute]

I know what you mean about reading, i read loads now and like you going through the classics. Must be an age thing. So how many takes to get the knife to stick in the stump? 🤣 🤣 Take care matey 😎

[@jim-bob-outdoors]

😁 One take, knife throwing is another hobby. 👍

[@CliffordShute]

@@jim-bob-outdoors Oh yeah so it is, forgot that. Are there no end to your talents. 🤣 🤣

[@skinnymason]

What outfit was you with Jim ?

[@jim-bob-outdoors]

None really, but I was a instructor for the Marine training Corps.

Jesteś spoko goścć ....luzak...

[@jim-bob-outdoors]

Tego dnia nie byłem zbyt fajny. Dzięki za oglądanie.

[@SonofChurchill]

Allan bit nosy! Are you Ok to be out in Sun or don't give a F#ck. I'm still afraid that's with big hat & factor 50 🙄🥵 Everyone on youtube a Fire expert 😬😬

[@jim-bob-outdoors]

Have to be careful because I am now at high risk of skin cancer.

[@SonofChurchill]

@@jim-bob-outdoors Had that and it's shit respect the Sun *Expert
