Winter Camping with my Son and my Dog. Hot Tent Overnight Camp. Tent Heater. Kebabs.

In this video, I am joined by Tom and Maggie for a woodland overnight camp in my new Rock Fortress hot tent.
After getting all the camp chores done, we light the wood burner and settle down to cook and enjoy some good food, a couple of ciders and a few games of cards in the cozy warmth of our heated tent.
Winter camping has its challenges, but is great fun and by using a tent heater, you can enjoy the warmth and comfort that you get at home - heat, a glowing light, ambience and a stable cooking platform to cook on - perfect!
I hope you enjoy the video and thanks for watching!

I love the fact you let him sleep and started up the wood stove in the morning. Great dad and precious times together. Just lovely :)

This video was so heartwarming to watch. The bond between Simon and Tom is priceless. And to see Maggie getting her special treats is precious. I actually was moved to tears, which is quite rare for me. Thank you for allowing us all to share in this experience of a father and son bonding. Much appreciate your hard work Simon. Thank you and much love and respect from Minnesota, USA.❤

Always fun to see Tom again enjoying time with his Dad and of course to see Maggie getting special treats at the camp kitchen! Cheers to you Simon and to Tom!

Looks like fun having a nice camp trip with your son and dog. You might want to put that carbon monoxide detector closer to the ground. If you're sleeping a foot or two off the ground you'll be long dead before the carbon monoxide climbs up to the height on the pole. That being said the tent probably isn't airtight, plenty of ventilation and very little to no carbon monoxide is probably leaking out of the stove, most if not all of it going up the pipe. Has anyone ever actually had carbon monoxide poisoning in a tent? Native Americans had open fires in their teepee and to the best of my knowledge didn't have any problems.

This has to be the most heart warming, touching and feel good video I have ever seen on your channel Simon. The connection you and Tom have when you're camping out together is absolutely precious. He's an absolute credit to you and you are a wonderful dad. I can't stop smiling after watching that!! :)

This reminds me of me and my dad sadly we dont camp he's a taxi driver so always working but before him snd my mum split me and him would sit in the dining room have a good few beers and I'd aldo be having a joint as he doesnt smoke qeed anymore and we'd be playing cribbage. Dads still alive which im obviously grafetul for. This just reminds me of me and my good ol' scotsman father💯🤝♥️

Tom is such a polite young lad.

There's something strangely comforting listening to a dog eat.

[@jillpearman7445]

Hi fellas and Maggie. Looks like you all had a great time. Tom I hope you took a few quid off your old dad playing cards. It’s what I think a lot of youngsters miss out on, bonding with their parents especially camping trips. Sorry to hear about you being a Norwich fan Tom, you can always join us Hammers! Thanks for another great video Simon really enjoyed seeing you all. Up the Canaries!

I am 65 yes old and I remember the backpack fishing trips with my Dad , happiest times of my life. I'm from Upper Michigan US . Trust me your son will cherish that time together when he becomes a old man too.

[@leewhittington5806]

I get this is an old video… but you no what I really love the father son aspect of simply camping but then playing cards by camp light few cheeky ciders good grub what more could you possibly want.. what a nice bit of father an son time ❤

[@karenstead8765]

It's so nice to see a dad that cares enough to take his son camping and also to see a son that is willing to spend time with his dad...creating memories that will never be forgotten and growing in experience because of this time together. My brother and I grew up without a dad and wish that we could have known him and shared those same experiences. Enjoy your time together and I look forward to seeing more adventures with Simon, Tom and Maggie. What a great team!

[@user-gv2tm6kb3m]

Good dad lad and dog time tom has impeccable manners should be so proud God bless you all

[@janwaller3585]

Beautiful and memorable times together . Always remembered as good times. Something to pass along through the next generations. Invaluable ❤️

[@robertcole9391]

This is something parents have gotten away from.. Taking the family out and camping... Great to see you and you son bonding.

[@Anndyinthewoods]

Nice to see Tom and Maggie out with you! I hope Tom didn't beat you too bad at cards. The food looked delicious!

[@mshirey2799]

also A 17 YEAR OLD MADE THAT KNIFE?!?! The mosaic pins ALONE are stunning!!! Well done!!

[@mshirey2799]

Well would you look at Tom!! Guying out the tent and splitting the firewood?? He isn't even my kiddo and I'm finding myself feeling so proud of him!! Great job raising a great kiddo, Simon! Cheers!

[@WiltshireMan]

Nice camp Simon, I thought Felix's knife was rather good especially for one so young, he definitely has a good eye. I'll have to take my boy out with me camping now and give him a cider, he is old enough (34) infact he's probably had more ciders than me already! Yum kebabs looked great:)

[@Trains-With-Shane]

I always really enjoy these videos. It makes me smile not only that Maggie still gets around well enough to go on camps with you but that Tom still wants to as well. Cheers! - Shane from Texas
