Solo Camping in 'Cabin' Tent with Woodstove, Dog, and a Winter Stew

[@WiltshireMan]

Nice stove and tent Mike, I agree with you on the hounds:)

[@krisoli1218]

Absolutely agree with you on the fox hunting comments you made Mike. Always preferred the walked-up way of shooting too, and not killing hundreds of birds.

[@tomdawe5039]

Standard jack russell move 😂 straight under the covers 🐶

[@tracyl1368]

Not daft JR'S 😂

[@alexpervanoglu7420]

True that. I've had several JRs and they love burying in. What they're bread for hey.

The goodest of boys

[@trumanlong1633]

I bought this tent after seeing you camp in it the first time. I have taken it camping and the first time I went it rained heavily and the wind was very strong. It did very well. No leaks etc. I have taken it out two more time since then and it did very well.

[@BBRWild]

What a nice tent, looks super cozy

[@karenmacleod4185]

I agree with your views on fox hunting. Just to clarify, it's illegal in Scotland. Love your woodland ànd all your projects.

[@Sparker408]

Thanks! Really enjoy the content. Stay wild, have a great weekend.

[@TAOutdoors]

Thank you so much for the kind support!

[@charlesnicholson5715]

the crust of your bread will thicken the stew if had thrown some into as it was cooking. A tip from the 18th century. ;)

[@jaymeswheeler]

That is a cozy set up Yes, absolutely leave that up for a few weeks What a great fort

[@ianstyles9759]

I've not seen any of your videos for a couple of years, had some of life's bad jokes and just about getting myself back to the old me,, thank god you and your Dad are still at it...👍👍👍👍👍👍

[@GraemeNiimi]

Whislux titanium stove only £190!!! This is the perfect one for everyone!

[@Valliusmango]

Thank you Mike and Jack for the therapy video haha !

[@TAOutdoors]

Thanks for the comment and support!

[@Coxeysbodgering]

23:45 reminds me of our Spud, a long haired Jack, when all three of us were living at home he would spend the night bed hopping, you'd hear him jump down on the floor boards, then he'd take a couple of bounces (practice jumps ) then on the bed and under the duvet😮😂 it was great when it was really cold but would over heat us when it was warmer, he'd tunnel to the bottom and cook our feet until he got too hot then go and find a cooler bed to warmer up 😅

[@adrianul]

I am totally on board with you with the fox hunting situation

[@ABloodyEyeFull]

I agree, except i think if you shoot a fox, it's also pretty nasty and cruel as the foxes cubs are going to starve to death. Sad that some hunters seem to have the opinion of, out of sight, out of mind.

[@dko9048]

🙄🙄🙄🙄

[@paulemajer5634]

I thought fox hunting was banned/illegal now

[@ABloodyEyeFull]

@paulemajer5634 So did I also, it's a pretty sad, pathetic, and crawl way to get your kicks in my opinion, see a pack of hungry dogs ripping the life out of a fox!

[@this.handle.is.alreadytaken]

Hunting for sport is for coward and sick people. Put some gloves on and get in a cage or ring and get your kicks that way not by abusing animals. Culling is a different story but for some rich snobs to get all dressed up and torture innocent animals is beyond disgusting.

[@alistairj4851]

And now I have another tent on my wish list, thanks! 😄😄😄

[@spacekat8249]

Exactely!

[@Theorangeman.]

How many you got ? Dont be shy now

[@mattshaffer5935]

Right!? It’s really nice!

[@AdventureswithJeffandMeeka]

I bought one this past spring. I have used it in storms, high winds, and very warm weather. No leaks, very little condensation so far, and with the side vents and doors open, a nice breeze can come through. It is my favorite tent now.

[@alistairj4851]

@@Theorangeman. Only 3 with this one, but they never seem to leave the list until bought 😁

[@funky8431]

Nothing like a good hot tent camp! Loving these cosy autumn camps. Keep it up

[@niallmcgovern8004]

Mike dont leave the pipe in. you will be left with a serious puddle of water inside. trust me i speake from making that very mistake. You will be amazed how much rain will trickle down over a few days and the added risk of a windy day that may bend and breake the pipe or even dammage the tent, best for the sake of a few miniuts to take it down and leave it inside the tent already rolled even if you like. All the best.

[@LeeKender-e9v]

Love both you and your dad's channel Mike. Well said regarding the fox hunting with hounds. Totally agree there are much better ways to manage things of needed. All the best 👍

[@riuphane]

I had a dog that was part Jack Russel and she would always go under the covers and curl up either right behind my legs or against my stomach (or same with my wife). It sometimes made it hard to sleep, but i cannot express how much i miss it.

[@gfsvc]

While holding a breadstick: "wish I brought some flour to thicken it up" My guy, tear the bread up and chuck it in. It's like the OG medieval way to thicken stew

[@chrisstokie2361]

I wish I was in my 30s again instead of my 60s. I would become a proper Hobo. I do live on a narrowboat, so I do have a certain amount of freedom. I would love to spend more time in the Woods though. These videos are the next best thing . Keep em coming. 👍

[@Miss_moonlite]

I love both the tent n the titanium wood stove ! Can’t wait to see your next one Good luck Mike n Jax

[@ArielleViking]

Great camp and nice idea to keep the tent up. I had no idea that the fox hunt was so barbaric, thank you so much for bringing awareness. 👍🏻

[@perrylaw7011]

All the comforts of home 😊

[@Wallace-x3x]

Well my friend another great video stay safe and God bless love form west Virginia USA ❤️

[@FilmsNerd]

Life should be like that: slow paced and peaceful with appreciation for nature. Love it brother!

[@outdoorangerify]

Cooking tip i learned from a Le Crueset cookbook. Instead of flour i used bread in the stew as it was cooking. It breaks down and thickens the stew. Worked a treat. It said brown bread but I'm sure white baton works too.

[@stephanygates6491]

Tear some bread into bits to thicken your stew. Love the stove!

[@TimelordUK]

Gravy granules❤

[@AdventureswithJeffandMeeka]

Hi Mike. The Chalet 70 Pro is my favorite tent. It holds up as well as my F2, but is about a foot wider, a foot longer and at least a foot taller. Plus it has a stove jack. Have fun and stay safe. P.S. I agree with you about the fox hunting.

[@Smoggie1]

I agree on the hounds mate and cannot wait to see busshcraft/ hunting camp once it’s all set up

[@vipek4324]

Hi mate, first of all I just love your content and just binged watched the Saxon House series just great the way you spend that much quality time with your dad. Regarding the wood stove and the baffle at the flue, it is supposed to prevent sparks from being expelled from the chimney as in some places these stoves are used for cocking even in the summer months were the risk of wild fires is quite real, with the added bonus that it actually increases the efficiency of the fuel burn as well, so says the internet but as with everything I may just be wrong, but it makes sense to me.

[@margaretgood580]

Love this tent, better than these modern ones they make these days.. Jack's being his cute self crawling under the covers.. my kitty did this all the time ..take care and be safe out there 🐕❤

[@AndyWardle]

So I read that as “dog stew” 😂😂😂. 🐕

[@blademaestor]

Lol, you're not alone, totally read that he will be having "Dog & Winter Stew" poor doggy

[@KimStebel]

That's what the Oxford comma is for...

[@jaymeswheeler]

😂 run Jax run! The winter dog stew is far more hearty than a springtime puppy porridge...

[@TAOutdoors]

😂 it got me too and I’m the one that wrote it! I’ve corrected it a little now, hope it makes more sense!

[@AndyWardle]

@ 😂 or. I could read it properly.

[@graemedolan2208]

Very enjoyable to watch. Relaxes me

[@utubeape]

You could get a bit of fire blanket and cut a round hole the size of the chimney, thread it on before you put the rings on, this would be a tighter seal for the chimney port.

[@freddyoutdoors]

Brill watch mate Totally agree with you on the fox hunting bit, looks a mint set up you got their too

[@fredobrien8012]

you and your dad are the bom keep it up

[@SuperDolly64]

Jacks is a cutie pie-love him!!

[@dropshot1967]

I would look into an accessory to secure the stovepipe (I have seen some that attach to the top of the pipe with lines and maybe add a spark arrestor to the pipe). It might be an idea to remove the stovepipe and close the flap when you are away for multiple days. I did enjoy this camping video. Thank you

[@spacekat8249]

Very impressed than everything gone in the backoack and just two other "bags", compact and very comfy!

[@ShelaghsScintillatingShee]

Just got my first hot tent and the smaller Pomoly. Getting it all set over the next few days.

[@kingjpeg]

Great video I detest the hunt, it's barbaric Nice to know you don't allow them on your land even though I doubt they actually listen and stay off Looking forward to your next video

[@ABloodyEyeFull]

@kingjpeg Sick perverts get their kicks seeing a fox being ripped apart by a pack of hungry dogs, in my opinion.

[@antoniosilvestre5482]

hi , all said but not a single word about security , you may consider instal a CO detector alarm for your own sake , consider also a heat fan to spread heat all over the tent , it saves wood . the pipe should be instaled from inside to exterior , prevents rain drops , and you forgot to instal the spark chaser on the pipe , it prevents undesired forest fires , stay safe

[@fion1flatout]

security is my main issue, I've had everything taken, including a pair of size 5 leaky old wellies and baler twine

[@serhat.I]

He is in a tent which has a big opening for CO to escape. Plus he is in UK. It rains in summer there and as you can see, the woods and the forest floor is too damp to catch fire. If it were a little drier you would be right.

[@susanwright6785]

I bought this tent earlier this year for this Winter’s camping season, and got the Winnerwell small stove (small one) to dress it out. Absolutely love this tent and the stove is top notch. Winnerwell is the king of stoves as far as I’m concerned. My grown sons can fight over it when God calls me home. Hahahaha. What a great video, Mike, and I love seeing Jaxx in for the adventure. Take care and stay well and safe. :)

[@marka9577]

Whats up man? Love your videos, Great gear, solid content. Much appreciated Take care. Keep it commin. Peace from Southern Ontario Canada😊

[@garethbarker9498]

Great job Mike, I noticed that you had to strip down and rebuild the stove, when you first assembled it the side window would have been facing the side of the tent😉 I’ve never personally assembled one of those stove flues but have seen others doing it and they just unroll it and then re roll it length wise adding the rings to secure it mate

[@FreezyAbitKT7A]

I have camped when it was well below freezing. I have never had a stove. I just brought my beagle in the bag with me.

[@jessphuqette1716]

True heaven on earth moment. Camping, good food and drink and your dog. 👏 Bravo, sir👍

[@ClayHarris-g4r]

❤❤❤ deep respect for your channel mate ❤ and more❤love from Australia.Clay keep going 👍 your doing us proud globally. ...

[@jamieedwards6721]

Awesome video Mike as always, top tip for a banging stew add the fatty outsides of corned beef, let it melt in, it thickens the stew and salts it up also gravy granules, not enough to make gravy but just enough. Could go the extra mile and pick some wild bilberry, they ripen at the start of stew season chuck them in and let the break down, absolute treat.

[@dirtythirtys824]

ジヤクス可愛い😊

[@zerohourtv256]

Looking forward to seeing more of these adventures.

[@jamesmaguire9227]

Class seeing the dog's tail wagging away when he first went into the tent. Great camp and great vid 👍

[@jackypearcejustme]

I'm anti horse/hound fox hunting, too. I've no problem with a quick, clean kill, but not what happens on these hunts. It drives me nuts when you roll the tent flaps outwards instead of inwards, as they should be done! Another good video. Looking forward to some more bushcraft stuff.

[@barryconway]

Re: the stew…. you had plenty of suggestions I see, but after years of trying this that and the other, I finally learned that a handful of orzo ‘rice’ (actually a pasta) thrown in the stew (whilst cooking) thickens things up nicely. Easy to carry a small portion. Give it a whirl!

[@geauxgrl6464]

Thank you, Mike!!❤❤❤

[@JSMCalder]

Nice night out that Mike. Great tent. I’m liking these Tuesday tea time episodes 👌🏻

[@antchung2370]

He needs his own little sleepingbag.. ❤👍

[@itarry4]

So he can do the normal dog thing when they're used to sleeping with you. Totally ignore his own space and bag and crawl in with you. Getting my dogs to sleep anywhere but on our bed was a nightmare no matter how nice we made their bed.

[@JasonMcCann841]

Really enjoy the camping videos Mike! What a great part about owning your own land, “base camp”

[@BeMoreOutdoors]

Some mulled wine would go nicely with that stew… although that would mean another pan. Nice relaxed camping… I should try that someday and really enjoy camping. Thanks for the video, makes for a great watch.

[@ColbyandBecOff-Grid]

Enjoyed the video. Makes me want to go camping again asap! And totally agree re the fox hunt.

[@Janelle2120]

nice idea to leave the tent up to do more videos,i agree with you about the fox hunt its a sin,and its also barbaric to starve the dogs so they will rip apart the foxes

[@deborahnielens9134]

With the weather getting cooler it might be a good idea to have a little cot in there and a lantern. Nice setup love your little snuggle bug he can heat you up to keep you warm

[@markdattilo1209]

I'm with you, where is the sport in hunting. Also like your setup of the tent.

[@mayhembeading3737]

Very nice Mike. Will have to come back to the video, but thank you for sharing your "away-from-home" time with us.

[@kenhughes4715]

Great tent and stove. So glad Jaxx is with you.

[@judesmith8571]

Definitely do some multi day bushcraft and hunting, keeping that beautiful tent up for a bit, it’s an ideal setup for some winter activities in the forest and I know we would all love to see some of those trips if you decide to film them!

[@KoronLP]

I'd love to see the multi-day stay in the next few weeks.

[@garyhardy-s4m]

really looking forward to the hunting and bushcraft vlogs that tent looks nice warm and comfortable of this time of year.

[@hermanninelamaa]

Great video, thanks! I think that setup would be great also here in cold Finland:) -Hermanni

[@beatricebritt347]

The little dog is so cute. He sleeps in your sleeping bag.😅

[@Arasinnature-vh1fg]

that's good👍

[@cawstongreenway]

Ah, I feel that this is going to be a super cool set of videos with this set-up. Looks good so far.

[@Nita-qu3oh]

You could cook a lovely festive feast on that bad boy stove 😁

[@Thewildmanwoods]

Interesting to see the tent …Im glad your not letting the hunt through ❤Be interesting to hear if you’re an advocate for free range meat….its so so important as commercial meat has a such a sorry life …once you research how pigs and chickens are kept I think people wouldn’t eat commercial meat xx Nice stove ❤

[@geraldfitzgibbon7428]

Im geting hungry lookin at ur stew. ❤

[@srw1591]

Love the tent and stove Mike. I can see my Christmas list expanding by the second! Really looking forward to some more bushcraft and hunting videos with this set up 👍

[@LochieRaikes]

me and my 3 brothers just bought my dad a fenix headtorch for his birthday. great brand. hi from little wee NZ!

[@robertr4193]

Looks like you had some fun. The stove looks pretty neat and seems to work well also.

[@alunjones9153]

I'll look forward 2 u using that tent again

[@frogg90254]

If you need a thickening ingredient and don't have flour, bread, crumbled up is a good substitute 😅

[@captainyoni]

Mike next time you can use a hunk of the inside of the bread to thicken the stew. Just take a hunk and break it up into tiny tiny pieces and cook. It will thicken. Looks great mate. Nice little setup!

[@TheGreasyCamper]

Thanks, really enjoyed this video

[@MArk-s7f1s]

Love the hunting idea , can't wait to see

That's a beaut of a tent, very nice. Good work 👍

[@Oliver-go7uy]

Love your camping videos !

[@jamesellsworth9673]

I have watched your videos for a good few years: I always coveted a G-Stove setup. I absolutely hate the type of chimney that comes with the Pomoly, even though I think they make a fine firebox. I am about to spend a fortune on a Winnerwell stove with an outside air intake, water heater, and oven so that I can run some heat all night long and do some basic baking. Now I am Olde. I have an expedition-quality Russian Behr tent...and some surprise ten-year-old twin grandchildren. They will love this combination in the coming winter. That is my 'last chance' to get this 'right.'

[@TAOutdoors]

Hi James, sounds like a great adventure over the winter for you! Cheers for commenting, I see your comments on pretty much every video. Just wanted to thank you for the continued support over the years. All the best - Mike.
