Andy, I hope you don’t mind me saying…… but you come across extremely happy and very content in this episode. You always do but particularly this episode there was a great vibe and presence! What an accomplishment to build something as fantastic as that!!! You must be proud

[@KentSurvival]

Thanks very much.. i was pretty happy with myself... good when something works out and you can relax a bit and enjoy... was fun to get some summer weather too haha

I admire his actual chopping of veggies, making marinade, making naan etc, all when camping. I'd be roasting freaking hot dogs on a stick over the fire 😆

One day walking through my backyard, I stumbled upon a clean spoken Brit chopping kindling, and making pan seared tamales. Nice fella.

[@TeknozFR]

Hey Andy, I suffer from severe anxiety and panic so I know I never could do camping in my current state but thanks to you, I get to live that experience through you! You’ve got a very friendly and calm energy and it helps me relax before bed, thanks for the great content :)

My dog really enjoyed watching this episode. The whole time I had it on he was just staring happily!

I like to see someone who doesn’t let camping out deny them the pleasure of good food.

[@bobburro3642]

I gotta say Andy with a blend of a natural shelter in a beautiful woodland, with heavy downpours of rain and your food and fire, what a perfect mix to chill out with you. Perfect. Way better than tv. Please do longer camps!

[@riicyama2118]

This video is where it all started for me. This video was recommended to me several times until I finally clicked on it, been here ever since & I love all your videos thanks

This shelter is beautiful Andy. You take pride in your work,and it shows. You are quickly becoming my favorite YT channel , or channels !! I’m enjoying your new videos & slowly catching up on older videos . I appreciate the fact that no matter what activity your doing, you take time out to cook . As a Southern woman, I love to cook, and I take pride in my cooking. I’m inspired by the fact you cook cuisines of other countries ! Till next time…….

Andy my husband and i just recently started watching your camping videos. We really enjoy them especially the ones where it’s raining. We also enjoy your cooking in the woods you do a great job❤️

[@jmi967]

An idea for super simple backrest would be to make two poles, affix cloth between them, drill or cut holes in the floor facing backwards, and stick the poles in the holes. When not in use they can be rolled up and hung in the shelter.

[@charliefreeman2260]

I’m always shocked at how much dry, straight grained wood you have to process. I struggle with knotty, sappy fir or frighteningly fast burning pine whenever we go camping. Your content is so enjoyable! Been watching over the last year and it’s so fun to see your older stuff and the evolution of the channel. Cheers from Veneta, OR USA

The aestetics of your videos is very much appreciated! You have a touch of the "Almazan kitchen" youtube style when it comes to food prep.

[@phillipeldridge-smith1982]

I was smiling away to myself all the way through this. Watching you enjoy outdoorsmanship and bushcraft is better than any ASMR video. I don’t think I’ve enjoyed watching someone enjoying food and drink as much as with this video. Fantastic content.

You won't remember Jack Hargreaves, he used to present a tv programme, during the 1960's and 1970's, called 'Out of Town'. Marvelous chap and a marvelous programme about all manner of life in the countryside of England. Your way of life reminds me, very much, of Jack Hargreaves. A simpler, contemplative and far more attractive lifestyle. Thank you.

I live in Arizona, USA. The food fare you made for your breakfast, complete with homemade corn tortillas looked awesome. My mother and father-in-law were Mexican....sadly gone now. Having meals with them and family was always an event, complete with homemade 14 inch flour tortillas, salsa, menudo, posole and cilantro was always a treat. Nothing quite like that. Thank you for sharing your experiences with us.

Just discovered your channel and I love it! I'm in Canada, so our camping is a bit more "adventurous" shall we say. Bears, cougars etc. You get the picture. I love your more genteel version, where your biggest enemy is the weather. You can relax more, and enjoy the quiet, and the beautiful woods that surround you. I'd love to be camping with you, if only for your delicious looking meals! I'd do all the prep, if you'd do the cooking! LOL I've been to England numerous times in the past, and I adore it there. I will be looking up your previous adventures, as well. See you in the next one!

Really enjoy your content, been doing that for a while now, but I never much commented on the videos. I should, you deserve to know how good these are. I would pay a lot (I can't, pretty poor but you get the idea 😄) to be there... Drinking a special lager, eating that amazing diner you always make. And just enjoying nature, the campfire. Man, that must be heaven. It's so sad that my wife and kids are totally not into camping, I personally love it. And you give me the next best thing. For that, I thank you, Kent. Much love brother!! ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

I practically lived in my Dads greenhouse, I even made a pond, I had a pet fish too “ cardew the carp” and loads of frogs that I fed worms. I was sooooo happy there…

[@vic2265]

Great build Andy! One way to help gain some extra on those rainy days is roll up a oil tarp to the roof on the front and you can roll it down in cold weather and out with two poles in rainy weather! Looking forward to cold weather camps in this build!

I have been watching your videos for the past couple of weeks. I have watched dozens and dozens of them from a few days ago to 2 years ago in no particular order just what shows up in my recommended.

As far as a seat there is something called a stadium or bleacher seat or a boat seat. The front and bottom of the seat wraps down and under and back, and would attach to the boards behind your knees. And the back folds forward for taking it with you. Not sure if there still made today, but they were in yesteryear. I remember a pair hanging on the garage wall when i was a lad.

Thank you so very much for this alternative reality. I hope you have a wonderful summer!
