I am a camping addict & do so every chance I get. Unfortunately, last year while camping & exploring I fell off a cliff & broke my back. I finally got to go camping almost a year later. It was magic. However I thought I picked up a tummy bug & went home early only to end up in hospital the next day. It wasn’t a tummy bug, I have stage 3 cancer. I just had my last chemo & as soon as I get my strength back I’m going again, just me & my doggie. Your videos are great! They have helped to keep me in a happy place during this hard patch.

[@jaliyahwilliams4406]

I pray you get better and can get back to camping soon!

I am going through testing at the moment whenever my insurance agrees to pay my chest starts hurting i cant breath and the doctor says my lungs sound bad i cant breath my chest hurts very bad and my family just say im useless and lazy but i hope you get back in the woods i cant walk through my home without suffocating so far these videos keep me going and i pray you get back out there

I would love you to be my cook on a camping trip. Do you have a camping style cookbook? Keep the videos coming and all those delicious meals. Thank you Andy. Must say I am not a fan of the hanging tent. I think I would get sea sick when it moves around. Thanks for demonstrating how it sets up and its good and bad points.

This video is different because he is using a different kind of tent. It's not the normal kinds!

I did that last weekend in our backyard fire ring and it turned out fine. Only that it burned the bottom. I need a trivet... and cheese for next time.

I love the parts where things don't go as you had hoped they would. :-) It happens to a lot of us. You make wonderful videos. My family went camping when I was little. My dad made me a pine bow bed when I was 6 (a long time ago now). It smelled so good and was bouncy so I loved it. My great grandparents camped out while crossing the US in the 1800's. When I watch you camping in snow and cold I think of them and wonder how did they ever survive? But in the end they were proud of themselves for taking on such a challenge and succeeding. My teeth are still chattering from watching you sleep on the poles in the lean-to in another video. You didn't sleep much because you were too cold and the poles were uncomfortable. I have slept on the cold ground with a root poking me all night. It can be pretty miserable, but I didn't regret it because there was the outdoors and the mountains and streams and so much beauty to enjoy in the Idaho.
