RIVER WILD CAMPING | Military Dutch Army Ridge Tent!

[@rodengorman8762]

I've said this to the English Woodsman as well, does nobody have just a tin of heinz baked beans and sausages anymore😅😅😅😅

[@campingwithjosh]

🤣I'll do that for you soon lol

[@irvsstella]

FABSIL! Great product to waterproof your gear, not just tents, clothing, kit bags etc.

[@danozeman26]

Great spot that! Fabsil should see that tent right.

[@campingwithjosh]

Cheers buddy!

[@garethaustin3137]

Wonderful. Your videos are like a bedtime story.

Putting the York knife through its paces 💪 Beautiful woodland camp capture 📽 👏

[@campingwithjosh]

Such a beauty of a knife. Such a privilege to be able to make it with luke.

[@ColinSlocombe]

Sounds so cool

[@johnnySMALLpepper]

NEW HERE JOSH. EXCITED TO WATCH

[@campingwithjosh]

Welcome buddy! 😁

[@gailknowles3804]

I fully expected to see a leprechaun run through that place. That is one beautiful place and you captured it wonderfully. I don't know where that is but I'm putting a visit there on my bucket list. So peaceful, so nice. I need some peaceful and nice. What amazes me most is that there you are, in an enchanted forest, open fire, tent and sleeping bag but your cooking is like something you would find in a 5 star french restaurant. Are you still going to offer t-shirts? I do want some if you do!!! Great video, Josh.

[@campingwithjosh]

Thank you so much for your support! T-shirts are coming! I'm just working to find the best to offer quility and price wise. Hopefully I'll be able to update you and all soon!💚

[@mountainmantararua8824]

G'day Josh, enjoyed your video. It's very alien to me that you would have to worry about being seen at your camp, over here in NZ we don't have to worry about that. There are so many vast forests and so many places to get away from the world and enjoy the solitude. Arrive when you like and decamp when you like. I think that you would like it over here in our forests, Josh. ATB cheers from the mountains of NZ ☺☺

[@campingwithjosh]

I need to visit! Sounds amazing!

[@soniayoung7531]

Heyy Josh nice place damp but nice,beautiful waterfall, delicious looking dinner, thanks for sharing stay safe 😊

[@campingwithjosh]

Thank you Sonia! Glad you enjoyed the video. Definitely damp but didn't dampen spirits 😁

[@clairecooper197]

Another great camp Josh. 🤙🏽🤙🏽🙏🏼🙏🏼

[@campingwithjosh]

Thank you Claire!

[@steady3459]

The river sound is vary nice ! 🎉😂

[@campingwithjosh]

Hehe was lovely

[@garethmurphy8235]

I always laugh when I see you carrying that boat anchor of a frying pan that must be at least a few kg's by itself but, OMG !! Did you say that tent weighed 6.9 kg's..?? That is over 15 lbs .. 😮 LMAO . That is insane Josh.. Like carrying around a Thanksgiving turkey. You are a camping beast . Your pack has to be nearing 25kg's easy.. This is the ultimate expression of the difference between camping and backpacking . My freestanding tent weighs less than 1 kg when fully packed; is 100% waterproof and can easily handle storms with winds upwards of 50-60 mph... Thank you for laying out so plainly the difference between a sweet camp and a brutal backpacking hike... This folks.. is the difference... I dont think I'd go out for a backpacking trip if my total pack weight was more than 10 kg's.. Respect!! Love your vids Josh. Absolute beast !!

[@herbsmith6871]

Cool spot and some good looking grub Josh! Thanks for sharing my friend😎

[@campingwithjosh]

Thank you buddy!✌️ nothing likea great meal cooked on the fire.

[@ThomasLeCoolGuy]

Great video Josh. They always cheer me up 😊

[@campingwithjosh]

Aw fantastic! New videos coming soon!

[@Meneervdberg]

Thank you for this!

[@campingwithjosh]

Thank you for your support!

[@margaretbagur3553]

I like the tent. It just blends in and doesn't jar the senses.

[@campingwithjosh]

Absolutely!

[@AdventureswithJeffandMeeka]

Good afternoon, Josh. Jim-bob adventures & kit has some good videos using the dutch army tent. I believe he goes over how to keep it from leaking. What a wonderful location to camp. Stay safe and have fun.

[@campingwithjosh]

It sure was a beautiful spot. I appreciate the info! I'll check it out.

[@oxycrimson]

What an incredible spot!

[@R-Dub_]

What a beautiful spot to camp in, wonderful video as always Josh, thank you for sharing.

[@campingwithjosh]

Thank you for your support! Glad you enjoyed.

[@sammief1305]

I'm thinking of buying this tent and wanted to see some reviews first, and happened upon your video. It was a lovely and peaceful video to watch. Thank you for creating 😊

[@campingwithjosh]

Glad you enjoyed it! Was such a lovely camp.

[@jayneeldridge2481]

Great video, thanks Josh. They do say to soak and dry old canvas tents several tumes before use (to swell and set the weave). Dunno what i believe but i have done that, and never needed a proofer. I use nickwax spray on for my kit. Ive used Fabsil on stuff i dont care so much about. Ive stuck with Nickwax as its been the only thing that really served me well on long hikes/long camps...plus on my boots in salt water.

[@campingwithjosh]

Brilliant thank you!

[@jamieT973]

Fantastic vid>>>looked a brilliant place to camp>>>can’t wait to get away on my first camping trip this year>>>up to my fav place>>>Glen Etive>>>👌👌👌👌

[@chillaxorz]

[@colincolwill1941]

Thank you for another great adventure Josh I loved camping and hopefully I may have a couple of nights out in the wild with my Son.

[@campingwithjosh]

I hope you have a fantastic time together! Your boy will remember those special times for a lifetime.💚

[@johnnySMALLpepper]

JOSH, I ENJOYED. LOVELY RIVER AND CAMP SITE

[@campingwithjosh]

Thank you Johnny 😁

[@Simon_Mouse]

Cracking vid Josh and a superb location to camp. Have a word with Jonny Tent Peg, I'm fairly sure he had a Dutch Army tent that he resealed. The York Knife performed well, but that's to be expected 👍

[@campingwithjosh]

Yes I'll defo drop him a message! Cheers buddy. The knife is working a treat!🔥🤙🏻

[@360OutdoorAdventures]

Hi Josh lovely peaceful video. You can't beat a little time to yourself in nature. Perfect for connecting and sounding ones self. The Dutch army tent is a great bit of kit, I resealed mine with fabsil worked a treat. Take care buddy

[@campingwithjosh]

Your too right! Some solo time is very much needed for the soul. Thanks for the tip!

[@kevinlewis5587]

Cracking video josh id go with fabsil for the tent

[@campingwithjosh]

I'll look it up! Cheers buddy.

[@gonzowildcamping]

Great location. Food looked great. Nice setup.

[@campingwithjosh]

Cheers Mark! Hope your keeping well buddy!

[@freddyoutdoors]

Really enjoyed watching your food looked brill and amazing location too

[@campingwithjosh]

Thank you Freddy! Was such a tasty meal to end the day with. 😁

[@Bobby-D67]

Fabsil gold will sort the waterproofing out Josh good stuff 👍

[@campingwithjosh]

Thank you for your info!

[@seikkailusaukko]

You could use Fabsil to seal the tent if going the commercial route, though it's a bit lightweight so if the water is coming through stitch holes, it's not necessarily enough to seal the seams as well. You could also make your own proofing by buying a cartridge of 100% silicone (the kind that smells like vinegar - the the other kind won't do) and mix it with white spirits or other similar evaporating solvent until its in suitable consistency - thicker for seam sealing and lighter for overall proofing. One caveat though - once you've sealed the tent, you might start having problems with condensation, since the sealing works both ways ... (I didn't see if that tent has any proper ventilation - but it's not like vintage surplus gear was designed with the soldier's comfort in mind...).

[@campingwithjosh]

Really appreciate your insight buddy! Really appreciate it.

[@b.j.harris9109]

Awesome video I could hardly keep my eyes opened hear that running water. Sir love all the awesome places you take us till the next's one GodBless to you and your family and stay safe out there

[@campingwithjosh]

Thank you brother! The River was so calming and helped me sleep 😁

[@Simon.77752]

Another camp I throughly enjoyed thanks josh 👍

[@campingwithjosh]

[@elliotfrancis4187]

Awesome watch im a hammock person but that looks wicked for winter camps

[@campingwithjosh]

Right on! Would be great.

[@zbigniewkrajewski7536]

So beauutiful! Thank you Josh for great trip!

[@campingwithjosh]

Thank you! So glad that you enjoyed the adventure. Stay safe ✌🏻️

[@peter236uk1]

Just found the channel awesome subscribed

[@campingwithjosh]

Welcome aboard! Thank you for your support

[@HibbertsAdventures-lr8ss]

Great place to camp! Out of the way and by a river. Awesome. I used Fabsil to seal my Dutch Army tent. Will see you through a few wet nights

[@campingwithjosh]

Thank you! Will remember that. 😁

[@ashleylovestennis6476]

take some insect spray and spray the tent out and then close it up leave vents open to allow the smell to disipate . at night you will have an insect free sleeping arrangement.

[@campingwithjosh]

Awesome idea! Thank you

[@southerncooker6475]

That was definitely worth another visit! Gorgeous spot! You always make the best food! Be well and stay safe! Blessings!

[@campingwithjosh]

Thank you so much! Sure was a delicious meal.

[@leeprice674]

Great video Josh and I’m a new subscriber after that 👍 I have the Dutch army tent and love it too. There are lots of videos about this tent water tightness. I left mine out in rain, but the issue is usually via the zips closers and gaps at the end. Great tent though and really enjoy putting a tarp over for protection 👍 like your laid back delivery and what a place to camp too. All the very best.

[@campingwithjosh]

Thank you Lee! Welcome to the channel. I think I'll definitely keep a tarp over mine next time 😁

[@gazgf]

Hi Josh, chilled, no BS camp mate..nice!”” Don’t know what canvas the Dutch tents are made from but I got a (barely) used South African “Campmor” canvas tent that has been up since June last year and used as base camp in the uk and was worried about leaking to start with but it soon fixed itself! It took about 3 good rain soakings before it stopped leaking through stitching holes which need to swell and seal themselves but perfect now. Maybe yours is the same and just needs to hydrate after a long storage? I love the darkness of a canvas tent in the summer mornings but sometimes it’s annoying if bad weather in daytime and you have use lighting coz sheltering in a dark tent 🤷

[@campingwithjosh]

Hey buddy glad you enjoyed the chilled camp! More to come. Lots of great info I appreciate it. 🤙🏻

[@andychris224]

Great video bro! Wayoo 🤙

[@campingwithjosh]

Cheers bro! 🤙🏻😁

[@irvsstella]

Is that a Gerber Freescape Camp Outdoor Folding Bow Saw? How do you get on with it? I have one but find the blade keeps twisting during use. 9:53

[@campingwithjosh]

No this is the Agawa boreal. Not had any issues. Maybe you need to tighten yours?

[@georgebethune7315]

Good to see you back Josh, lovely spot 👍

[@campingwithjosh]

Thank you buddy! Good to be back 😁

[@PhilDodsworthOutandAbout]

Great video again, love it….little tip for sinking poles, two flat stones from the river underneath them. Stops them sinking and get maximum lift.😉

[@campingwithjosh]

Yes thought that after but as it was one night I didn't mind too much 😁 Cheers buddy

[@chrissumpter3417]

I had one of those Dutch army tents, and it leaked like a sieve. A mixture of waste engine oil and diesel sorted it. Not for waterproofing. It made it much easier to burn on the bonfire.

[@campingwithjosh]

🤣🤣It sure leaked a bit! Hope to fix it tho. Would be a shame if I couldn't mend the issue.

[@josht.m9697]

they are very good tents i fab sealed mine some ppl said you meant to just spray them with water but god knows wasn't taking any chances nice and warm tho , 😎shame about the weight but it is what it is, yours was a bit slake tho,nice vid

[@campingwithjosh]

Thanks for the info. Yes I didn't have a lot of room to play with but I'll make sure I do for next time. Thankfully I had a great time nevertheless 😁

[@Micky-74-v6f]

Great vid! Been watching since you did the Simon a bloke in the woods camp. .. I heard FABSIL is a top waterproofer.. i bought some in a can but have only tried it on leaky raincoat and backpack so far. Not bad but not what I was hoping, however it's the normal FABSIL which was on offer in Millets. .. Since then I found out that there's a FABSIL GOLD which has twice the amount of silicone in it. So may be worth getting that one. ..I tried brushing it on but found was easier putting it in a spray bottle. I also heard that some different tent materials probably like different waterproofers. ie Sil nylon you'd use FABSIL and canvas would be some wax based? I'm no expert I just watched 20000 KZbin videos like yours. Lol. .. hope some of that helps, would love to see your results. Happy camping! .. ps, I also read that PERMETHRIN is a good bug n spider n ticks treatment you put on tents and clothing. ..

[@campingwithjosh]

So much great info here! Thank you so much for your time. I'll definitely look into all of this, thank you.

[@Micky-74-v6f]

@@campingwithjosh was a pleasure mate! Hope some of that's useful, forgot to mention, I think FABSIL GOLD has UV protection added. Not 100% sure as been a while since I looked into it. Also, I tried a mountain warehouse brand of waterproof stuff that you put in a washing machine, but that was a waste of money and am convinced that bag was ruined, but maybe I did something wrong. .. love your chilled out solo wildcamps, thank you for sharing your adventures!

[@elliotfrancis4187]

And that 🪱 wold of been on a hook for my dinner lovely brown trout in small streams 👌

[@campingwithjosh]

I need to learn to fish next!😁

[@devondetroit2529]

6.9kg tent!? How much does your pack weight in all?

[@campingwithjosh]

No clue lol. Thankfully I have a strong back lol. I'm not much of a extreme lightweight pot noodle dinner kinda guy lol. All about a good time chilling in great locations enjoying life. Not a tent I'll take with me everytime but worth the experience with this beauty in the right environment.

[@GreysonAno]

Hi there! I just found your channel and really enjoy your videos, thank you for making them. Could you help me understand something please: in a couple of videos now youve mentioned not wanting to be seen or found, is that just for your privacy and solitude, or is it a legal thing? Im assuming you are camping on common land or parkland, is there an issue with that? Im in the uk and thinking of trying wild camping but dont want to get aggro from anyone

[@chrisk3488]

The only thing waterproof in my Dutch Army tent is the bath-tub ... keeps all the water in ... I Fabsilled it but water comes in through the zips and any gaps.... Nice tent for warm Summer camping though..

[@campingwithjosh]

🤣Must be best for the summer then! Thanks for letting me know.🤙🏻🌧

[@TimmyBobinson]

Nice choice of music, Josh. Do you run this channel for the joy of camping or the revenue?

[@campingwithjosh]

The joy of camping always. 😁I have always enjoyed film making since I was really young and got into wild camping 5 years ago so started to document my adventures these past couple years to capture memories to look back on and share.
