Defender -5°C Wild Camping in the Dartmoor Snow

[@kabaottoemulsion1869]

For some reason, cooking with those camping stove in the truck make me so happy.. I know 7-11 is nearby but it is much more satisfying!!

[@BorisTheDefender]

You’ve got it! So fun doing it like this!

[@WillsWhereabouts]

Love the set up!

[@BorisTheDefender]

Ah cheers will!

[@dogukan2907]

I have watched several types of camper defenders yours is my favourite

[@renatogoncalves7209]

The best flavoring is the air from the mountains .. 👍

[@journal59pierre44]

Fabulous to watch, good old Boris

[@BorisTheDefender]

Haha! I’m glad you enjoyed it!

[@monkeytennislee2493]

Loved the wrap idea🙏 shall be giving that one a go soon as am back out. 👍

[@BorisTheDefender]

Please do!

[@tonypacke6954]

A tracker is a great idea, I have one on my truck. Hopefully you have other devices to stop it being driven away. No good watching the progress on your smart phone if you could have avoided that in the first place. Obviously you won't stop someone winching onto a low loader but just make it as hard as possible. Great video as usual, I could almost feel the cold!

[@BorisTheDefender]

The tracker is monitored 24/7 by a team and if it is started they call the local police 👍

[@jadeshaw7753]

I literally said to my parents “I really wanna know what heater he uses!” Before this video! Really helpful as me and my parents all have defenders, that will hopefully one day be ready to camp in 🤞 Thanks!

[@BorisTheDefender]

Ah great!! Will be uploading the heater video soon :)

[@yasindigenousnativeexpeditions]

You are really calming to watch, We really enjoy watching your vids! Well done🤗🏕 Welcome to Sweden🇸🇪😜

Hi mate, loved the video. I discovered your channel recently and have really enjoyed your content. I am learning to drive at the moment, can't wait to get out and camp soon. Want a mini camper ASAP 😂.

[@BorisTheDefender]

Ayy! Thank you, so glad you’re enjoying it!

[@TheShiftplay]

anker power banks are a good one mate

[@deutzerallrad7820]

Very nice, thank you for the Video!

[@willcowell8197]

Great video, hopefully you'll be able to sort out the engine, how long has it had compression issues?

[@BorisTheDefender]

yeah that’s it! compression is down!

[@danielhumphreys5783]

Really cool video! 👍

[@TheBlueOwl21]

The large ridge monkey is a great camping frying pan, it also folds down and stores nicely in its bag.

[@BorisTheDefender]

very true! they are great!

[@bretttdcooper]

Cooking wise get a Stanley cook set brilliant

[@motoninja2747]

great stuff mate hope to see you out there when we are allowed out .

[@TURACIING]

hi, what headlights are you using buddy ?

[@BorisTheDefender]

They are LTPRTZ lights from ORE4X4UK.

[@TruesdaleTV]

Just came across ur channel there now m8. Love the landy camper setup. I stealth camp in a berlingo camper over on my channel. But would love to change to a defender. Wat length is it in the back for sleeping?

[@BorisTheDefender]

Cheers buddy! It’s a great camper! 185cm the back is. I’m 5’10” and works great for me!

[@TruesdaleTV]

@@BorisTheDefender I'm 5'10" myself so perfect size for me to 👍⛺

[@sean291000]

do you have a link for the curtains :)

[@jameswortley7921]

is it bad i know where that village is because i have seen the parked up defender before lol

[@rhyssimms591]

Looked an absolute dream! What did temp go down to in the back??

[@BorisTheDefender]

I’m not sure but it froze so I would say -1 haha

[@tonyalways7174]

Military surplus mess tins and metal mug. Stick some gaffer tape on the rim of the mug to protect your lips and you can get the wet on and neck it in a oner!!! They’re also indestructible 👍🏻

[@thomasarther3437]

Loving these mini adventures and overnight trips you’ve been doing I have a defender 90 that I’m tempted to try and squeeze a cut down mattress and a flat floor in. Do you have any tips?

[@markriley2733]

Hi Tom I have a 90 that I use for solo camping in I made a sort of off set legged coffee table as a platform I can email or WhatsApp you some photos if you like don’t think I can add them in the comments here

[@thomasarther3437]

@@markriley2733 ah perfect! That sounds ideal. Do you have Facebook? Don’t really want to be posting my number in the comments :)

[@BorisTheDefender]

Yeah if you have a platform and a folding bit that goes over the front passenger that would be great!

[@markriley2733]

@@thomasarther3437 fair one I’ve just uploaded a very short slide show, sorry I don’t have any video yet I am planing to one of how I convert from daily driver to camper mode It’s really easy and only costs a few quid

Actually no I think this was shot on my phone.

[@davidrandolphstroman3666]

@@BorisTheDefender thanks!

[@garyleonard4009]

Do you add anything into the diesel too stop it from freezing up. 🤔🏄‍♂️🇿🇦

[@BorisTheDefender]

I think it has to be extremely cold for diesel to freeze

[@doorman437]

22:26 just melt some snow

[@BorisTheDefender]

Good idea! Haha

[@DevonDashcam]

Good stuff 😊

[@pinkpotato1]

Boris The Defender I’ll be in touch on insta

[@Lucaemar]

Obligatorish Finnish comment: cute "snow" you got there :P But in all seriousness, this looks hella cool, I recently started to research this kind of "hobby" and am very excited :P

[@conorjones4]

What diesel heater have you got installed?

[@BorisTheDefender]

Chinese eBay special

[@jamesszeplaki598]

Check out poweroak for a power bank

[@BorisTheDefender]

Yeah good idea!!

[@jamesszeplaki598]

I have one for my ford tranist Connect ( @tristanthetransit on Instagram). Works really well and plenty of power

[@chinsawjosh]

Nice filming on your phone while driving. O and glad to see the no camping rule doesn't apply to you. Also not allowed to camp in a van on dartmoor.

[@stevewright210]

Great video, check out simonablokeinthewoods for review of a great power bank. He has also done a Land Rover conversion. Looking forward to you next video

[@BorisTheDefender]

Yeah thank you! He’s great! I forgot about his battery thanks!

[@dieselbushcraft1299]

Was this filmed during Lock Down? Hope not as we all want to get out and go places and do things but we aren’t allowed by Law. Hope there is not one rule for you and another for the rest of us unless your name is Dom Cummins.

[@marc9709]

If you need to get out for a camp, do it. As long as it’s not far from home and you’re doing it alone. Mental health is important, ppl excise to feel better. Others have to get out. ( dont get me wrong, I haven’t camped for months)

[@NJRD977]

Sure you dealt with the ventilation off camera but running the gas stove inside such a well sealed enviroment, need to be aware of the risk of carbon monoxide poisoning

[@BorisTheDefender]

Had the door 1 foot open with heavy wind and a carbon monoxide alarm 👍

[@gerardjones7881]

he warmed up precooked food. Not slow cooked a beef roast. These vids attract all the toss pots.

[@wyvern2]

As others have said, driving while using a phone/camera, wild camping on the moor in a vehicle, and going away to camp during lock down with out authorisation ...`are all against the rules at this time. Not a good example for others who view your site, and giving 4x4 drivers a bad name. I would suggest you remove the video before some one with authority has a word with you. I enjoy your videos but disregard of these rules is not sending the right message at this time. Mental health care is one thing , but rule breaking at this level is not acceptable on a public channel.

[@gerardjones7881]

I suggest you go pound sand .
