Dutch army tent - Wet night in the woodland

[@HuntCreekBushcraft]

I was incredibly pleased to see this new post featuring the Dutch Army Tent. Bought mine a month or so ago after watching every video I could find on KZbin about it. Personally, it’s the style, fabric, durability and history of this tent that I find appealing. I’ve always found that when sourced carefully, military surplus is a bargain and the Dutch Army Tent is no exception. The one I purchased was only lightly used. The fabric is still sturdy and bright with no defects or repairs. Even the poles and pegs look new. When searching KZbin for information and reviews I was disappointed to find that the videos out there that forewarn about proper pitching, fail to actually go the extra step to show what proper pitching of this particular tent looks like. So Thank You for taking the time to include that in this video, and for explaining it well when you’ve posted on other channels. I always enjoy your content, and Marc’s as well. It’s just fun to watch. And I always get a good laugh and learn something new. All the best from central Indiana, USA.

Enjoy your tent and thanks for the support.

Those woods are definitely up there with my favourites, another great vid Allan. The most dangerous thing about your camping is crossing that road 🤣😂

[@jim-bob-outdoors]

It was not so bad today. 😂

Amazing for your vidoe of Dutch army tent - Wet night in the woodland. I love your video, thanks for sharing.🥰

[@jim-bob-outdoors]

Glad you enjoyed it, its going to be very wet again this weekend. Different tent this time though.

[@ralphwelsman9989]

I love my Dutch Army tent, a very early buy, and has never let me down. Yep its big to lug around, but the right place for the right time and it won't let you down.Good honest vid as always JB

[@jim-bob-outdoors]

Thanks mate.

Great video, I love my Dutch Army tent and tarp combo...ATB Chris.

when I was serving in the Military and CRAARV Commander my 3rd man wasnt too clever! I had to summarise the ration issue! 'Red' is for breakfast! ie beans and sausage etc. 'Brown' is for dinner ie corn beef hash, beef stew etc! you, my friend, have broken my rules! lol. great video as always. looking forward to your review of the Belgian Army tent, i can lend you mine!

[@jim-bob-outdoors]

That's funny. 😂If I am hungry, I will eat anything. I do like the look of that Belgian tent. 🤔

[@twisterdude100]

Love your content! Don't comment much so i'll make up for it here. First i worked at a veterinary clinic for 11 years and got along well with 99% of animals that came through, but every now and then one would just not have me try as i might! I think you remind the dog of something negative in the past perhaps. Second, i smoked for 30 years and quit smoking 20 years ago and glad i did because i think it has improved my health, however i 100% uphold your right to smoke if you wish and mark is right, it's about control! Stay out there guys and have fun!

[@jim-bob-outdoors]

Thanks for your support. 👍👍

If its canvas getting it wet seals the holes.I used to have aBukta cotton canvas ridge tent,wooden poles,bathtub groundsheet,never leaked even in Belgian rainstorms.I was motorcycle camping then 40 plus years ago❤

Hi Jim bob great look at the Dutch army ,got me thinking about getting one

[@jim-bob-outdoors]

Old and heavy but a great winter tent.

Evening Alan awesome video as always ... I got rid of my Dutch army tent it was smelly and stained on the canvas like mould . Yuk .. Thanks for sharing atb Sam 👍

[@lewisgardner1660]

The last time I got a packet of B&H they were about £2.50 I am pleased I packed it up I used to smoke 50-60 a day I would light a new one with old, went from B&H to golden Virginia ended up on drum, gave up when mother started copd and my young daughter asked me to stop because she didn’t want to be sitting beside my hospital bed like I was with mother, she was only 10 bless her

[@jim-bob-outdoors]

Most packs of 20 are now around the £15 mark. most of that is tax, I pay around £3 - £3.50 in Europe. 🙄

[@riddimchef1]

Something like 90% of knife crime is committed with kitchen knives 🤔 As for smoking they claim it’s for health issues and cost to NHS. If that was the case alcohol would be a massive candidate All about control as the man said 😥

[@jim-bob-outdoors]

Yep, totally agree on all points. 👍

Great video my Dutch army tent has storm flaps over zips i bought it like that from military mart a few years back getting rid of it soon though to heavy for me now lol 🏕😊😎👍🏻

[@jim-bob-outdoors]

The weight is always the issue, I dont carry it too far. 👍

[@moosehand8721]

Here in the states its not a good option in the summer without netting because the mosquitoes are so fierce but it woud be excellent in mild winter conditions. Id sure like to have one.

[@jim-bob-outdoors]

Same here really. Bug season is just about over now though. It is a great option for cold weather though.

[@OuterTrail]

Great video sir!

[@jim-bob-outdoors]

[@waitingfortheknock]

That outdoor smoking thing, I genuinely believe it's a "naughty step" moment, revenge for the protests/ riots. It's a tactic I can see happening more and more. Behave or else.

[@jim-bob-outdoors]

Sadly I think you are right.

[@tjfm59]

over the decades that i have tent camp, rule 1 is after my tent is set up, i add a extra layer of a over size tarp as a rain fly. that covers the under lying tent. for your dutch tent if you ever need it, a 3 x 3 dd would work.

[@jim-bob-outdoors]

Yes normally I would use my Basha over this tent because its the perfect size. I wanted to give it a good test with the heavy rain this stime.

[@margaretmula1315]

I placed mine in a Pelican case and tied to my ATV. Too heavy to carry while hiking. Watching from Malta.

[@jim-bob-outdoors]

Agreed, I dont carry mine far.

[@oldirtybeuner]

You can fit the entire Dutch army in that tent😂

Hoi, leuke video over de Dutch army tent, ik heb hem zelf ook, overgehouden uit mijn militaire dienst tijd, wis je dat als je er 2 hebt je hem kan dan aan elkaar kan koppelen via de ritsen!! Leuk om te zien dit !! Ga voor al door met de video's, leuk om te zien !! 👍🏻👌🏻😉

They say you can join these together 2 or more side-by-side at the hems. Two would be awesome space but just one of these is very heavy from what i understand.

[@jim-bob-outdoors]

Yes they zip together. The trouble is the weight. They are around 6kg each. 😂

I'm always out and about with a legal folder in my pocket... the only exceptions as you say, would be a secure venue, like a concert or rave, airport etc. Apart from that I have some sort on me all the time. You just never know when you might need it for "Any" situation 👍 Maybe they market those tents as 2 man if you weren't using a mat each... it would be a squeeze.

[@williamirelan9332]

I quit smoking over 40 years ago but for years still had to put up with people smoking at work until it was banned inside. I then had to put up with my wife smoking for about 30 years. She had promised to quit when we were married. It's hard to explain to people who think they are losing freedom but smoking takes the freedom from the people around you. I have a young friend who is allergic to the smoke and has asthma so any contact can be severe risk. When my wife finally quit she would complain about the smoke of people walking past our house even with the windows closed. Smoking related illnesses is what took her. Unlike diabetes or alcohol or other things that people eat or drink smoking impinges on others directly. I quit when my daughter was born because I recognized the damage it had done to my health.

[@PaulManley-Cooke]

Got 2 of them Dutch army tents have no ploblem with wet inside of tent

[@delpallot40]

Been watching your vids for years and never knew you smoked 🤷‍♂️

[@jim-bob-outdoors]

Yep, 20 a day for years.

[@karelianprepper]

Good video. The tent looks good and works. Should I buy one for myself and my dog? It seems to be quite heavy, but I wouldn't buy it for hiking anyway. Is that tent always accompanied by soldiers with a full field pack. Is the tent in the backpack when the soldiers march? Or are they transported by car to the base/camp? Here in Finland, the army uses big heated tents, which the soldiers usually don't carry with them, because they are really heavy. Modern warfare is challenging because of thermal surveillance. We sometimes have freezing temperatures of -40 degrees Celsius. In those weathers, you can't stay warm without heated tents.

[@jim-bob-outdoors]

Good tent, great for cooler weather. Should be fine for you and your dog. I think they were transported to a location, far too heavy for carrying on operations.

[@karelianprepper]

@@jim-bob-outdoors I ordered that tent from Varusteleka today. There were only two left in stock. Paid €70. I think it's good for car camping or if I don't have to carry it for long distances. And if the dog messes up the tent, it won't hurt as much as with a more expensive tent.

I can't see the Dutch Army supplying its men and women with defective tents , the Army has to live reasonably comfortably to do a effective job anywhere it gose , someone is selling defective tents or there not being built correctly so hence the leaking.

Those diseases are caused by brake dust in the air more than cigarettes.

I say screw em, get you a Cold Steel Bowie Bushman. Put yourself a 90 degree spin for ferro rod use and a piece of bike enter tube on the handle and your set!😂 They are pretty cheap to buy, but I bet you guys can not buy them anyway. That sucks! Over in the States, I have trouble deciding which handgun to take with me in the field. They are trying to put a stop to that here, but we ain’t gonna let that happen! The deal here is, when you step out in the woods, you drop down a few pegs on the food chain. I know, because I had a wild boar chase me and my Scottish Terrier up a blow down for 10 minutes. I did have my Ka-Bar and even thought I might have to defend myself with it. That was the one time I didn’t listen to my Dad’s advice and left my gun in the car while camping. That will not happen again! Plus, the cougars, gators, and snakes where I live are thick out here. It would be nice to go camping and not have to worry about stuff like that! When I lived in New Zealand for 10 years, it took me a very long time to not check every bush for snakes or worry about gators near any water source!😂 Great video!

[@jim-bob-outdoors]

I have the Cold Steel Bushman, amongst many others. Simple fact is that really we don't need them in the UK. The is nothing out there that will be a problem, apart from other people. I just like collecting "tools" 😉 I also have had many guns in the past, contrary to the ideas of many, we are allowed guns in the UK. 😉

Hi Alan,….yes tax input on cigarettes stands at the moment, 18 million a year ..but what the lady at number 11 is on about, is the burden on the NHS with smoking related illnesses, ! But…….shall we close sweet shops too, to help the burden on dental treatment, especially children’s teeth ?? Freedom of choice is and should be a personal one, not by the corruption that goes on in the commons….and maybe if our unwanted guests that land on our beaches would stop, wouldn’t that help with the burden on our NHS, which is turning into the International health service, and our overcrowded schools….😮 Brian
