totally not jealous of that roof tent 😂 all the mod cons. great trip.. cant wait till part 2

[@jimrogers1853]

I wonder where he got the idea from Andy 😀

[@atcay81]

We love your roof tent too Andy 😉

[@GokTurkBey]

why didnt you go with them

[@tracylawrence6872]

And the bloody tomato ketchup Andy! I blame you! 😆

[@kyndrydspyryt3867]

Solar panel ooooohhh fancy

[@mickc1944]

Bleak and beautiful. Nowhere does bleak and beautiful like our little island.

[@loupiscanis9449]

Thank you , Simon . 🐺 Loupis Canis .

[@dwaynef5410]

What I love about Simon is he uses his head and hard work to have fun camping and canoeing instead of using a bunch of money to buy things. His ammo box stove was what first caught my attention to watching Simon and I’ve been hooked since! Dwayne from Mississippi says hello Simon!

[@tracker5849]

SIMON..YOU ARE THE MAN..THE MYTH..THE LEGEND!! every guy out there wants to be like you....always smiling...bright happy alert and radiating such calm positive energy. I truly enjoy your videos. I hope miss Maggie is doing well. I know she's up in years but still a beautiful loving loyal girl. You have that style of walk of a true outdoorsman... long ground eating easy stride..even when your tired and very weary you still make it look effortless. THANK YOU...FOR ALL YOUR HARD WORK AND ALL YOU DO TO BRING US ALONG.

[@TrailguidePictures]

A bloody brilliant time! Thanks again Simon. Looking forward to connecting again one day.

[@BrianthatiscalledBrian]

Yeah, try and get Simon in Algonquin for some portaging. 🛶😇

[@simonablokeinthewoods]

Thanks mate! Definitely! It was great to meet you and share a little adventure! A paddle next time perhaps? 😉🛶

[@Lightandlovetoyou]

Love the intro song Simon ! Please use this one again :)) it’s such a lovely feel

[@Foldy435]

You guys are living my dream

[@ek-nz]

Driving a Land Rover to North Wales… in this uncertain world there are two certainties in this scenario: the Landie will break down and the weather will be shite. It’s comforting that some things aren’t going to change.

[@AncientHermit]

What memories you brought back for me. Last time I was in North wales camping was 1976. Year of the heatwave, drought and forest fires. I was around the Capel Curig area, and all 6 of us got dysentery because a sheep died in the up stream part of the fresh water supply, SteriTabs did not quite protect us oddly enough ;) Then had to bug out because the fires were headed in our direction. Had a LWB Landy, with a bumper to bumper rack & a ladder beside the rear door. I could really relate to how this trip must have been for you! Nice video Simon, and thanks for it. Looking forward to the next part. Be well. ;o)

[@damianmcdonagh7908]

Great video thanks for posting. I think you'd really enjoy the west of Ireland 🇮🇪 Stunning landscape with truly hospitable people.

[@michaelzlab]

Wow There is a lot of room up there. I am impressed.!

[@jeffwalther3935]

Just subscribed - This video is surely one of the best stories of 2 tight friends overnight in the country, minimalist, easy cuz of that pop-up tent is jim-dandy fun to raise and lower too, plus all the plug-ins of modern camping today - as it should be - fully affordable, mostly just flat-out partyin' hardy too, that's half the fun, refreshing as can be, with virtual ownership rights to all the most wondrous scenery you survey AND quality time unsurpassed. Billionaires cant enjoy themselves this much, I'd bet because happiness isn't bought as much as pursued and these guys have and show here THE best life offers - and like the rest of us, just don't know: "It don't get no better than this." Congratulations for winning it all, imho. I'm stayin' tuned.

[@Abe.Wassenstein]

What a fantastic set up!

[@mikericketts-royle4840]

What a great outdoors video..love this kind of thing

[@BrianthatiscalledBrian]

Oh man, not jealous at all. 😋 Pretty darned cool. 🙂👍🏕️

Love the 110. I really miss mine I had some amazing adventures in it.

[@ABL973]

Great adventure and I like that Land Rover

[@stewartjmurray]

Great video and glad you are enjoying your roof tent and using that old Landy. Of course your gearbox went wrong… it’s a Land Rover!

[@leilamuller1886]

A beautiful place ! Thanks for sharing 🤝👍👏🏻🙏🙏🖐😀🙂. Watching from Vienna 🇦🇹Austria. Take care 😀

I’m sure that people think I’m weird but I love camping in stormy weather and Wales and the other Celtic nations are a favourite destination for me. So I really enjoyed this video! Nice Kadai firebowl too 😉

[@LanceGoodman]

There is something magical about the sound of rain on canvas

[@simonablokeinthewoods]

Me too! Cozy and dry inside while the rain drums down on the canvas - almost magical!

[@LanceGoodman]

@@simonablokeinthewoods I've been part of scouting since I was 8, I'm now 48 and still involved. The highlight of my year is laying in my tent, early morning while the scouts are asleep, listening to the rain.

[@LanceGoodman]

Either that or the first brew by the campfire in the morning as the forest wakes up (I'm a very early riser)

[@mare2971]

I went sleeping outside in a thunderstorm in my hooped bivy and it was amazing. One of my best nights outside. Only 25 km away they needed Tanks to remove the mass of trees off the street...

[@johnbaldwin143]

Simon as ever a truly down to earth delivery. Enjoyed that!

[@MerlinFox]

Ah, my favourite campsite in Snowdonia! Fond memories of preventing a tent from imploding in high winds - perfect Snowdonia weather too!

[@arcadia1081]

Beer in Cobdens?

GREAT VIDEO...What a nice rooftop tent...and your LAND ROVER...SUPER!!! PS THANKS for taking us along SIMON👍❤️🙏

[@lindacarruthers3423]

I saw a video of a group of middle aged people camping in roof tents in South Africa .I was impressed, this tent though is fabulous. So easy to set up ,and looks like a cozy nook indeed.

[@lizlemon9632]

Great adventures, thx. for sharing.

[@nicolejeanne]

Beautiful weather and trip 🤗👍

[@mariaotero5601]

Hi Simon so happy to see you and your friend ❤️ it will be a great camp!

[@geographyinaction7814]

Every time I see that Land Rover, I have it stripped apart in the shop. It's on the hoist, getting the panls repainted, and looking sharp...then I decide that it's a Land Rover, and if one makes it too pretty, then it won't be the same. Lovely video mate!

[@kcraig51]

Beautiful landscape. I really want to come to the UK, especially Scotland. That's where my ancestors are from.

[@frankiez7414]

[@andyfreer1343]

Great video love your overhead camp looks cosy

[@lafonevc5663]

Simon a bloke on the roof! Epically stormy, great vlog as usual.

[@1990westfalia]

Your roof top tent has a little more room the your favorite bivey. Part of the experience is the weather. You have the tools to meet them head on. Nice job. Skillet

[@simonhjc]

Alu cab make great product as too ARB. I ahad a landcruiser troopie set up with a pop top. Found in really bad weather it was more comfortable to sleep down below with roof down. Of course thats single camping. Love the landy too👍

[@martinoutdoors6941]

Wow! That Jason Eke love his films

[@philippabaker1078]

In a world of bad news, your videos are a breath of fresh air.

Looks like you had a really good trip - your Landy looks like a really cozy setup... I just found your channel, so I am looking forward to more... 👍🙂

Fantastic roof tent Simon. Loved the fact that the weather didn't deter you and you still enjoyed your time there. ATB

[@Revolver1701]

I love Land Rovers. Never driven one but they look so cool, like WW-2 North Africa. I have a Toyota 4x4 and it serves me well. Good job on the burgers. Enjoyed the video. Where I live in Georgia (USA) the Appalachian goes through part of my county. If you ever visit I know place with good beer.

[@olerenshawify]

Great vid and love both you lunatics. Brings back many memories, not so much to do with camping but more with Land Rover mechanical difficulties in the inconvenient places. Happy days...

[@chrislonsberry1974]

Great video! Also loved your choice of background music for the traveling and hiking pieces of the film.
