I Made a Bubble Wrap Tent - Solo Camping

[@TAOutdoors]

Your bubble wrap shelter looks a lot more comfortable then mine was 😂 enjoyed that one Andy. Great to meet you on the weekend on the overnight 👍🏻

When you aggressively started popping the bubble wrap and said “be rude not to” I felt so much joy!

I would never have gotten the"tent" up! I have little to no self control when it comes to bubble wrap.

[@jannetteberends8730]

I walk with a rollator. When I got bubble wrap, I put it on the ground and have days of fun popping it with the rollator every time it’s in my path.

[@songbird4137]

You always remind me of my dad who passed away in 2022. Makes me think that what you do, all the camping, trying new things and being outside is what my dad and I would do in a different timeline. Thank you so much for your peaceful, wonderful videos

[@Plaidear]

His cooking is the most satisfying

[@maeverobertson1108]

Yes, every camping adventure with Andy always has some of his gourmet cooking. Although I'm very doubtful about his ketchup fetish. I thought we Americans were the only people who threw ketchup on everything. I can't abide the thought of ketchup on breakfast sausage.

Great idea!

[@loreleisato7481]

It was a fun one! I really enjoyed your experiments with cardboards shelters or bubbles wrap. Thank you for the sound of nature and your smile.

[@dixietenbroeck8717]

You could have used the 1st employed, "larger bubbles," rolled wrap to sleep on, & saved yourself much time _(AND_ effort!) that way. As it was ALREADY "full width," you wouldn't have needed to worry about it pulling apart beneath you, either! That curry looked yummy! I must look for THAT SAUCE - or something like it - here in Northern California! Really enjoy your (copious quantities - enough for 2-3 people) meals & recipes!

[@MuckoJumbie]

👍 Exactly !

[@stuartwalters96]

This!

[@JimDuggan-tq2lv]

You probably have access to a wider range of katsu sauces in California than we do here in the UK being 4000 miles nearer hah

[@bcaye]

OR, look up a recipe and cook it for yourself.

[@LoricSwift]

Maybe do a double or triple layer even for comfort and insulation, but yeah it would of been a lot easier and probably more effective!

[@jaimestoneberger415]

Love when I see a video from you! You attack camping with pure joy-as it should be! Thanks for amazing content & delicious food ideas. 👋 from the Blue Ridge in Va!

[@carole3734]

An extra layer of wrap would make it cosy, but we love watching your ideas!! That chicken katsu curry looked gorgeous! Think you are going to have to bring out a bushcraft cook book!!😊

[@pugdaddie]

Thanks for turning us on to BPS Knives! I love my adventurer knife. Super impressed with the quality! I'll be ordering more, especially since their prices are so affordable. Shipping didn't take too long, considering I'm in the US and the package came from Ukraine. Very happy!

[@FABOUTSIDE]

Never a dull day watching you create your shelters.

[@crazgirl80]

Bubble wrap makes great window insulation. It keeps the warm air in during winter and keeps the cool air in in the summer . Cut the bubble wrap to fit the winter. Apply water to the flat side and press over window. It still lets light in but with the price of electricity it helps keep the air out of old drafty windows. Easy to put up, easy to take down.

[@steammachine3061]

Iv seen polytunnels insulated with bubblwwrap before. Which is an excellent idea. 1 it allows sunlight in while keeping that heat in and 2 it provides privacy for when you want to grow more exotic species you would rather your neighbours or local constabulary not notice.

[@Andrewoutdooradventures1550]

Thanks Andy for taking us on your amazing adventures enjoy watching you awesome video

[@scottrakes1622]

You know, I hate camping. But I still watch every one of your videos. It's all about your personality to me. You look like the kind of guy I would love to have a beer with. 😂

[@Chicichirumichi]

I've been getting into (car) camping for the last year and just found your channel a few days ago. You radiate that relaxed, humble, ,,just go with it''- kind of vibe that got me hooked on camping in the first place. Your videos are a delight, I've been watching them in the evening during my stretching sessions to wind down and turn off my brain a little (in a good way). I wish you the best!

Andrew...... You're a genius!! Slightly bonkers but a genius all the same! Absolutely love your adventures, keep up the great work

[@generybarczyk6993]

Regarding firewood prep, two issues have caught my attention over a number of videos. As a camper, it was my practice to drag manageable lengths of boles, sometimes two or more at a go, back to camp and cut them to usable firewood length at or near the campsite. This reduced the number of trips to collect the wood. Second, the folding wooden bucksaw in use appears to either need sharpening or a new blade, or perhaps the blade lacks a sufficiently aggressive toothset for a rough-cut field saw. Or so it appears from several thousand miles (several thousand more km) away.

[@duncan2651]

[@monicaluketich6913]

You had me laughing with your beating on the chicken with the pan! I probably did similar things years ago when I went camping. Use whatever works! I really enjoy your experiments with various "tents." It makes me think out of the box in case I need to sleep outside my house or get stranded someplace. Your videos are educational, calming, and fun. Makes me feel like I'm in a similar tent near you. Thanks for the company.

[@danthestuntman]

Living vicariously through your videos whilst on a long movie job out in a soulless city in China. Way too much concrete here. Missing camping in my home country of South Africa. I grew up in Leeds UK and used to camp regularly with friends and air cadets around Yorkshire. Stay awesome Andy!

[@johnashcroft-jones6091]

Hey Andy, as a retired architect your solution was interesting. I watch all your excellent vids and being a camper for 55+ years I would have made a 3.5x3.5 bubble-wrap tarp and do preferred pitch. 3 tubes to length duct taped together for pole(s). Simple and quick.

[@jamesellsworth9673]

INGENIOUS! There is so much to think about in this build. Surely, it was practical to begin with the light greenhouse frame and its pre-designed joints. I DID build a structure based on PVC piping and joints. That piping flexes almost as much as your kit did. I had to purchase some expensive adjustable angle joints and bring some socket wrenches to put things together. I needed a more elaborate structure to carry the weight of a welding tarp that I bonded to a Reflectex tarp. My goal was to make a shelter cover that would withstand sparks, with an interior that would work in colder weather with or without a fire. I LIKE the way you wrapped the big bubble material over the roof and carried it all the way to a floor piece. I learned valuable things about using Velcro tape to make useful seals along the cut edges.

[@dorisbeckish580]

I would like to make a suggestion, especially while camping or even at home. I would make the batter for the chicken in that lg baggie, then drop chick into the batter, less dishes to wash and hands stay clean. You could also do it with the bread crumbs after removing the battered chicken, drop into crumbs with tongs then into frying pan to fry. So essy, less mess, no clean-up and can toss bags in trash. Presto......Cleano.....done! I hope you try this, it helps. Ive so enjoyed your videos, pls keep 'em coming. I along with so many others enjoy your experiences and meals, ive even tried making a few....delish!!!

As a family we camped approximately 2 weekends per month, every month. Tent camping and then a homemade RV from a retired School bus my father and I age 6 or 7 yrs old worked a whole summer together to complete. Every time we took the rv out, we had offers for purchase left on the window, it was that nice! Special to me was all the time my father spent 1 on 1 teaching me skills and then camping skills. Until he past from Alzheimers at 74. Now my camping days are over except in extreme necessity ! The only thing missing in this video is a bit of water, lake, river or creek and spending time Fishing….it aint camping if it doesn’t include some serious fishing , otherwise why bother??? I ❤
