I ONLY HAVE "2 items" OVERNIGHT CHALLENGE.

[@englishwoodsman]

Thankyou for watching this video isn't perfect but the main thing is I'M BACK AND FIGHTING STRONGER..

[@michellemoores6327]

Keep strong Dan. Ignore the skanky morons!

[@Scot-land]

If you make content that makes you happy the rest will fall in to place Dan

[@Linda14369]

👍 hey Daniel, I just wanna say that I hope EVERYTHING works out the way you want them to. We can all see you're hurting. No doubt (more than just myself) wish we could do something to help. YOU STAY BEING YOU. WE LOVE YOU BECAUSE YOU ARE JUST YOU. my mental health is better because of YOUR channel. When I can afford a proper hot tent and sleeping pad/bag, I will be out there living, rather than just "existing" So just know that we care about you and you are doing just fine as you are. 💯%❤️

[@TheGreatRaymondoOutdoors]

👍👍💪💪💪💪💪

[@mikeburgess8801]

Glad to see you keep going, you are great, are yourself, not trying to be what you’re not. You keep it real and truthful. More power to you!

[@KeefsCattys]

Hope things start picking up for you soon Dan. None of us regular fans like to see you feeling down . Best wishes and really enjoyed the video.

[@noctelingerjager3618]

You should have taken some water with you Dan as a minimum requirement, even in winter you can get dehydrated.

[@alicegamble6145]

Great video. You are very brave to sleep in just one of those. Well done.

[@oddmanout98]

Well done Dan. You did it and survived to tell the story. Well done fella. All the best to you. Paul.

[@alanslade2319]

Playing catch up DAN as you know life isn’t great fun all the time, as you said. But I’ve back on track now. Thanks for letting us see you go through the pain laying on floor at your age. MAD but great to watching mate, take care of yourself and your family and see you soon AkA Night owl from Luton ⛺️🇬🇧🍻💯👍

[@tammieflemal7871]

Glad you made it through the night. I think it would break the wind and keep the rain off but not much else. I carry one so I can use it as a tarp if needed

[@Dr_itch]

I’ve just started to make some videos, mainly to boost my self confidence and mental state improvement. I get my inspiration for creators like you and the thing you said about just go and do it struck a chord in me to get out of your comfort zone and live a little. I’ve said in previous comments to you, we love your content and always look forward to seeing what you’ve been up to. 🥰

[@paulwalley8296]

Hey I hope you’re doing ok. I’m so sorry to hear you’re having family problems. I pray that everything is okay and will get better soon. You are and I love watching your videos. I’m disabled and can’t go camping. But I get to experience it with your videos. You’re a light in such a dark world. Thank you for sharing your experiences and your journeys.

[@Polarian1]

You are a beautiful, profound soul mate. Thanks for all you give us.

[@steviem3094]

Great mic. Clear and stable. All the best to ya Dan. Your followers are all behind you and we will, I'm sure, stay loyal to you through your recent flagging. Thanks for educating and entertaining us. All the best pal. Steve.

[@23Gears]

I did my first solo wild camp earlier this year. Have spent around £500 on a lightweight setup I can use for bikepacking and hiking. Have had a lot of inspiration from your channel. Last night I had my 4th camp of the year. It was -9C (I'm in Sweden) and the kit held up beautifully. So thanks for the inspiration - I hope when times are tough you realise that you are inspiring people.

[@jamesellsworth9673]

Now YOU ARE THAT GUY! It is so satisfying when a kit works well.

[@Angel-002]

I was going to say "bikepacking & hiking" in the UK?? You'd have your bike stolen!! Then you said you were in Sweden & it made sense😂 Good on you though for getting out there.....hope you have many great adventures⛺🏕️

[@zlum1556]

Dan, your work is great. Love your channel and what you experience every day out. Keep up my man, for me, you r a mentor. Sometimes you go out because you want or need.. sometimes life puts you in places that you think you ll never be.

[@benf3607]

Just the title to this deserves a thumbs up !!!! Good effort !!!

[@jwoodzman]

Well done Dan; amazing effort and we used to cover whole bodies in leaves and use a stick convector to distribute heat towards body 🔥👍🏻

[@johnbell8553]

The sound is good,anyone who is out alone who doesnt talk to themselves really has a problem we all do it, lol.

[@scottsmith4710]

English Dan, just be yourself buddy. That’s what makes you special.👍

[@LoneWolfExplorer]

Well that was some challenge…..fair play to you for giving it a go and surviving the night 👍

[@billyinwaves]

I wish I could like this video twice - or many more times. Keep being you.

[@davodinkum9090]

Whatever you choose to do, I will watch. You are doing an amazing job Ni love it

[@andreaswheeler]

have to say the wireless mike makes a huge difference!

[@mikekellow7777]

Well done Dan, glad you managed to get out and try it. I'm always trying to think of how I can do a minimalistic bedroll but still having a bit of comfort as I suffer with my back. Great video mate 👍

[@mikebass3721]

Yes a good trick is to sleep leaning up against a tree with extra benefit of wind break. I love my Verestaluka insulated tarp that doubles as a bivi bag or poncho, all the sides zip up & includes extra insulation

[@markbradbury3317]

Nice one English woodsman you did brilliant with the fire , really enjoyed watching, hope your family problems sort themselves out

[@inregionecaecorum]

I do like your honesty where you show that you did not get the fire lit first time. It is like that with me sometimes, I get a fire lit and it goes out and I have to start again.

[@Storminateacup85]

Do not let anyone put you down±!!!1 People are very quick to judge normally because they have sad lives. It takes a lot of courage and confidence to do what you do….so please keep doing the videos on both channels. As far as giving items away in competition…..I say do not waste your time and energy. There is always someone to twist your words for their gain…..to be honest it’s not worth it. Just be you. 🤗

[@jamesellsworth9673]

One Bushcraft trick is to make a broom from a brush top that has several branches placed properly to make tines. You can move more leaves faster! Cold weather survival is also about having energy food sources at hand. You are doing things the 'hard way.'

[@mtbalot]

Love the new mike, you have a great voice. I enjoy listening to you. 👍👍 Its amazing how high-maintenance and demanding people have become, nice to bring it back to basics, top video this.

[@fatmanfaffing4116]

Full marks for doing it for real. You had to know from the start this was going to be a very long, cold and uncomfortable night.At least you know. As for the survival blanket, try wrapping it swaggie style. Swagmen would lie diagonally on their one wool blanket, tuck up the foot flap, pull one side across them then the other side and wrap up like a kebab. It solves the cold spot problem but you need to hold the flaps closed or clip them together somehow. Cheers from Downunder

[@wil10291]

Sound was fine Dan....👍🏻😁👍🏻

[@turtlewolfpack6061]

Any dirt time is good dirt time and the experience gained is knowledge for later that can be passed on, just as you did. I hope things get better for you soon.

[@DonaldMiller-xh9ce]

Brilliant job showing that it is possible to survive a night in the cold

[@atcay81]

This is great, can hear you perfectly Dan 👏👍👏

[@bensmom0509]

Very glad to see your return Dan! I did have a question- if you could only bring 5 items (including food and water) out with you what would they be?

[@tontojones]

Collect leaves and fill bin bags, lying on the bags keeps you further off the ground and it's a bit of extra insulation for you

[@WageSlave_13]

Props to you, man. Spent the night one involuntarily on a mountain side once and it was a rough night.

[@chrisdervin5420]

Well done hard core. I slept in car Saturday night and I was nippy even in good sleeping bag.

[@terencephillips6833]

Audio is excellent and I’m listening through hearing aids that I often have problems to hear with on KZbin, but you re crystal clear wherever you stand ..Nice one .

[@richardwright9563]

Hope all your troubles will be far behind you very soon 👍

[@BrendaBlystone-ur6fy]

Like always amazing camping 🏕️ video really enjoy watching yu

[@bobclark7211]

The new mike worked good Dan. That was a heck of a test for the blanket and your back lol.

[@stephenwest1491]

Im glad im not the only one who doesnt like sleeping on the earth its why i use a hammock with a tarp these days...

[@wulliescottishoutdoors]

Glad your back out mate and doing what you love, that fire lighting was painful to watch mate 😂, keep up the good work mate. Atb Wullie ✊🏻🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

[@peteraitken6494]

Hi Dan mic is really good mate good on you for trying that blanket at least you didn’t get hypothermia lol, but at least it shows you can survive the night in so little don’t know how it would have done if it were raining though imagine it would be pretty miserable, thanks for sharing mate all the best bet a cuppa went down a treat when you got home 👍👌🔥🔥❤️

[@pjgtech]

Good video mate, looked like a hard and cold nights sleep, hope your back is better soon.

[@anniejones1839]

I cant imagine being warm enough with just a survival blanket. Well done you

[@geraldinehardman6559]

I absolutely love watching your content, your down to earth and a great guy. Keep doing what your doing and stay safe 🙏

[@Yorkmedia1]

I enjoyed watching this challenge video you should do more videos like this keep up the good work dan

[@ktswandering]

Great vid mate.....thanks for sharing the torture, lol. Hope your back twernt serious.

[@daviddunn-breaknbadretrddad]

Lol, we used to always say "smoke follows the ugly" until it hit YOU in the face, then it was "smoke is attracted to beauty"...

[@mattlast4093]

fair play to ya mate, i doubt id have the balls to try that (yet) but i can appreciate how you wanted " to see if i can do it"

[@Soggz7785]

Slept on Chesil Beach last night, Dan. Pretty nippy on those wet old pebbles. I just had a Sundridge Suit and a tarp. Started raining about 7.00 this morning. Back home now. All the best.👍🏾🇬🇧

[@ownsacat]

I know how things will be going right and then fate says oh no. Here are problems for ya. GREAT SOUND ! by the way.

[@YorkistRaven]

I climbed Cadair Idris alone, and camped on top in a sheep-shelter, on a wooden bench, with a thin pad and a space-blanket sleeping bag. A gale blew that night that I thought would rip the roof off. It was awesome! :D I wasn't outside, but it was well damp, with fog inside, as the shelter had no door. One sheep stuck head in, said NAAAAaaaa! he was very disappointed. I said come back mate, there's room for tha! LOL I had some candles but no fire. I was not cold inside the space-bag, however, there was considerable condensation. I slept in my raincoat, which is the breathable kind. I enjoyed your hard-core minimalist camp!! :)

[@richardarms7106]

Great video, you should try to make a mors Kochanski Super shelter. Keep up the fantastic work!!!!

[@3imaginaryboys1972]

legend. really makes you think about homeless people

[@MrDefaultti]

Thanks for the video Dan. That "space blanket" saved my friends life once. I think I mentioned that allready in on of your videos. He ran out of petrol out of nowhere in Finnish Lapland at -25 to -30 celsius. And it took me over an hour to get to him and bring more, in the middle of the darkest night. He was just wrapped himself like a burrito in to one of those just waiting for me...

[@jonbrown9559]

Those safety Blake's are made for huddling note sleeping

[@80sMod1]

Sounds ok Dan 👍

[@meandmarlady1]

Chin up mate i do alot of fishing 3 or 4 at a time i find it relaxing. Keep making the videos

[@robertshaw242]

Well done mate..interesting video, keep it up👍

[@brianmercer2805]

Nice one Dan,brave fella,even a tarp and pillow and scran. Should get yourself a fire blower,they are a couple quid.

[@Jakes_oddesy]

Last time I had fire woods someone reported it and fireman turned up and said it needs put out lol 😢 lol

[@richardright752]

Enjoyed the challenge D. ❤

[@robbiesmith2525]

I make no apologies for saying that so boring I turned the crap off BUT not all your vids can be a hit.keep moving forward son.

[@darrenstevens3549]

Loved the challenge dan well done bud

[@TheDonkeycong]

Wrapped up like a Christmas turkey, fab Chanel, love the content and the honest opinions.

[@joyfulcolouring7372]

I love your channel, been subscribed for a couple of years now, love it pal.

[@MoosebearAdventures]

Tyou for the great vid.

[@andrewrush5125]

Nice one Dan, glad you take microphones seriously, too many youtube videos where you can't here what they're saying.

[@andyvint8066]

If you sleep on your side on the ground, do you ever dig a shallow hip pit?... This stops your lower spine bending sidewards in the night and stops lower back pain the next day Dan.

[@mcpjohnson]

Wrapped up like a turkey at Christmas. All you need Dan is cranberry sauce.

[@BEAR_72]

Another good en pal 👍i was thinking the tinder might be too damp but ya bossed it well done 👏

[@expat0149]

Sound was great :)

[@SteveRushton70]

Thank you Dan, went out last night hammock and tarp alcohol burn and wood stove back up. Alcohol burner to cold lol but I served till 4 in morning feet cold any ideas on keeping them warm .

[@English.Andy1]

Audio fantastic 👍

[@grahammartin1902]

I've only recently found your channel but have already subscribed. Interested watching your fire lighting. I had my kids out in the back garden the other day with a new ferro rod and we lit our first fires. Went for the easy option using wire wool and cotton wool to get them going but it was a great feeling. Your videos have rekindled (pun intended) my intention to get out camping with the kids next year, we'll start when the weather is a bit warmer and even try to pursuade the Mrs to join us but that's a whole other battle 😂 Keep up with the videos, I love your openness and talking about how real life treats us not the highly polished version many channels show.

[@expectinggore9990]

Sounds great..

[@deefunk4269]

Camping in one of those pop up toilet tents would be great to see

[@kylevicars1207]

I've watched you for a while now and I fine you the most relatable compere to the big (youtubers) keep doing you and your content mate you'll soon be up there with the big dogs x ps the mic is definitely better 🤝

[@scottsmith4710]

English Dan, I am so glad that you are keeping your channel going and you are getting out there buddy! Another awesome video!👍

[@martyl425]

heat up rocks in fire and then use towel or something to wrap them in then put at bottom of your survival bag.seemd to be a waste not to capitalise on fire so you get a few hours sleep at least without worrying about fire going out.

[@youngbry1]

Great video you stuck it out and proved the blanket is for emergency use.keep them your outings coming.x.

[@NikkiEvernight]

Good video Dan, Hope your troubles pass soon. Those sylurvival things are not really any good. They will reflect heat yes but if you are cold they won't help. Also if you cocoon in them they trap moisture. I've seen them used like a tarp with a fire in front, doing that can be tricky because they tear, but you put it behind you and have a fire in front, the blanket will bounce heat back around you. Can keep you warmer than wrapping up in it but those things are really not that great. One thought is maybe think about creating a heat reflector on the far side of your fire to throw the heat back toward you. They do it alot in colder countries. Maybe check it out?

[@lewisgardner1660]

I take my hat off to you Dan, at least you give things a go, good on you. Have you thought about trying to camp on higher ground as heat rises so if your Down in a valley it will be a lot colder.

[@burnzy3210]

What do you do with all of your bits and bobs when you go to sleep? You can get those foil things as a sack/bivvi rather than a blanket, I've seen them about.

[@SonofChurchill]

Hay EWM looks like a rough night.

[@jamesellsworth9673]

I have watched your Blackpool videos: they led me to think about how those hardships compared to the sort of accommodations you were finding in the woods.

[@redsorgum]

Speaker, microphone……a speakcrophone…….😂 Greetings from California ✌️🇺🇸🇬🇧✌️Gloves would have been nice to have.

[@FlamespeedyAMV]

In future, provide proofs for temps if possible

[@englishwoodsman]

No need to prov! It was what is said it was I have no Reason to lie

[@mallyredfearn6834]

You survived! Well done! I'd consider carrying a poncho and liner, at least as an emergency back-up! Though even those aren't meany for sub-zero temperatures. Throw in a couple of handwarmers too! If you don't like wearing gloves, have you thought about wristlets? You're not constantly removing them either, and they insulate those blood vessels close to the surface. Stick a handwarmer in there too and your hands will cope much better. Worth experimenting with eh lol..

[@PrivateJellyJose]

Good luck folding it back up 😂 great video mate

[@zoso-Esquire]

Nice vid to watch while its so cold out. thats your comment. Keep on trukin

[@8thsinner]

I would trust my trifecta survival bivi for this but not one of those cheaper thin mylar ones...kudos to ya for trying it though. Audio is good btw

[@bmw540ise]

That reminds me I must get my turkey in for Christmas 😂😂😂

[@Angel-002]

I was wondering where the roast potatoes, parsnips & pigs in blankets were going😂😂 He'd got more courage than me.....makes you think how the homeless people do it in the freezing cold. What was it Cruella Braverman said.....it's a lifestyle choice!! As she was chauffeured to her mansion with the heating full on & oysters, lobster, venison & champagne for dinner!!

[@calcifer3458]

Great videos man

[@1darrencr]

mic seems to be working perfectly 👍

[@shanehall2365]

Ur 1 of the good 1s mate n u will get it sorted out so u can see u sons they try using them as wepans but it will come back 2 bite them in the arse by doing that they try 2 do cary on doing what u doing u sons will be joining u before long God blesses u mate I'd go wild camping with u 2 morrow

[@Helen-and-Katarin-Juska-law]

EXCELLENT demonstration....If you want to try something similar again use a 'Glacier Bag' rather than a sheet. Your fire lighting was good but remember to concentrate on what you are doing when you move. Loved watching you challenge yourself and, YOU SURVIVED...in a survival situation you don't need to be comfortable (although it helps lol) you need to be alive next day. Thank you for sharing this video in full. Stay well, stay safe, Helen with Kat and Terri with Robyn.

[@Martycycleman]

Cheers Dan

[@keenymeeny2]

Good luck to you mate
