Solo tent camping in RAIN. ( TENT AND TARP CAMPING )

tent camping in the rain, I've gone solo camping just to have a relaxing overnight camp and to enjoy the rain sound hitting my tent and tarp shelter.
I also use my very small twig stove as an outdoor campfire and to cook on.
Rain camping can be very challenging in heavy rain so taking some home comfort itams is a nice idea.

please remember this is no Luxury 5 star camp site it's very basic with two campsite toilets

I came to appreciate your videos for your openness and the natural way you speak your mind as if you were thinking out loud...these days everyone is trying to sell something and pitching sales while you just enjoy the moment. You deserve much more views and subs... all the best from Portugal mate!

Its strange how rain like that can be both RELENTLESS and RELAXING at the same time. Love listening to it.

Fair enough going over but I can’t believe you actually went through their things!!😮

Camping is wonderful for mental health. One night just calming everything down a good book or a radio or what I found great fun a book to write about my adventure then you can relive it as often as you like. Good luck with the anxiety, one day at Time and you will win, I did you can too

Great video Dan. I love the set up with the tarp. 👍 As a side note, maybe consider a video of how you sort your wet / muddy kit after a wet camp as you just don't see that on KZbin.

[@graemesaunderson4218]

I would probably left them alone until about 2 pm and then tentatively approach the tent to confirm things were okay.

Top tip for lighting a fire using a ferrous rod, use the lint collected in your tumble/condensor dryer, as a fire starting fuel. Store in a plastic bag.

[@PhilB-v6b]

A decent tarp over a tent in the rain. Love it, love been in the dark just me and my pooch used to have a 2 man tent now need a 4 and hes only 13 mths old. But keeps the ghouls away and makes my nights sleep so much better.got tomlove the out doors. ❤😊

[@xNEATHx]

Was there myself last night Dan, my Autistic son's first camp as an adult. Camped in Mr nobody's tents spot. Was a wet one last night, just us and 3 other lads who turned up late, they were also gone before I got up at 4am, rain must have scared them off.

[@garryellison]

I lived for almost three years on a fifty year old diver's boat on a beach in the south of Ireland , i watch you an I get the enjoyment you get from peace an solitude and just being in nature, i felt the very same and everyday the tide came in an floated me, I was safe during two hurricanes . Iam astounded at some of the equipment you use , one of my biggest problems was keeping warm and sleeping comfortably your stuff is far superior to anything I ever found, I did have a pot belly stove on board for heating which i fed with branches and wood i found on the beach. Were i can claim to have bettered you i was able to feed myself from the Atlantic ocean simply by fishing an baiting lobster pots, sadly a triple stroke and cardiac arrest brought my adventures to a close , now i watch you and enjoy your trails , best of luck to you.

[@CazSmith]

Great vid. Some folks can't camp without the latest and greatest. You get by with a bit of string and an Ali express stove. Cracking stuff. Dodgy on unzipping that tent though. Could have been people inside having nookie lol. I also love how you expanded the shelter with overhead tarp. Very clever. Chair too. I wouldn't have bothered going home haha. Come armageddon and everyone is running around helpless in their nighties you can bugger off to the woods and get by fine. I thought my camp set up was solid but that overhead tarp and chair idea is getting used as well now. It'll stop the birds shitting on me. It landed in my coffee last time.

[@christianboutell7112]

The smell of bacon cooking in a woodland,what more could you ask for,looked delicious.

[@markhodgson1251]

I always take a tarp when tent camping, it just gives you more dry space outside and helps keep the tent dry

[@stevehegarty5394]

Dan you could put your lixada stove over that chimney to use as a pot stand

[@angelaknisely-marpole7679]

Yes, it rained! We were out doing a survey in it yesterday and excavating in it today!

[@procta2343]

great video again pal, yeah its best to check on things like that, just in case someone has had a bad turn. Id have let the land owner know too about the tent, just in case someone has gone for a walk and ended up having some trouble.

[@johnrutherford4276]

Thank you Dan. You were spot on in how you handled the deserted tent situation. Enjoyed the whole content 👍

[@quebecpatriot1874]

Last week I was hammock camping rather deep (I live in the sticks and hiked 3 hrs to that spot) and catched a heavy heavy thunderstorm; now I was camping roughly 30 feet from a river so meh, i striped nikkid and took a bath under the storm...it took a minute the rain wasnt cold...squeeky clean afterward.

[@BushWookie603]

Ive done alot of heavy rain camping in my life. I live in N.H. USA, up in the White Mountains and towards canada it can be a beautiful sunny day and calm night, but it turns fierce out of nowhere. Even if rain isnt "forecast" i ALWAYS run a large tarp over our tent and cooking area. It has its own weather system where im from that can turn on a dime. Personally, i love it. As long as your prepared, its a good time. Love the videos sir. You inspire me to get back out there.

[@aml1234561]

Love your idea of a bacon sandwich Dan! I hate to see people skimping on content! Sitting here mouth watering! Hopefully back out into the mountains here in Fujian, China in the next few days. Temperature here falling this weekend from 28C yesterday down to 6C… Love your content mate, keep it up!

Hi Dan!, I enjoy watching all of your videos here in Michigan, U.S.A. I have tarp, tent camped in all kinds of weather, One way to dry a tent is by using a fan, and paper towels.

Hi Dan!, I enjoy watching all of your videos here in Michigan, U.S.A. I have tarp, tent camped in all sorts of weather here, sometimes its easy to dry a small tent in the kitchen, turn on a fan, and also use paper towells, works for me..drape a tarp over the kitchen table, and turn on the fan.

[@dekaking9682]

Could have been someone who got up early and went for a walk. I do that all the time. Would be angry if i came back and someone was looking in my tent.

[@marcomcdowell8861]

Tent and tarp is always a great idea. I never understood why folks don't carry a tarp along. It gives you some freedom to sit about during rain or snow or broiling sun. I've stopped watching many a channel because it ended up being a 20 minute video of a guy laying in a tent. Defeats the purpose of enjoying the outdoors if you're stuck inside for the majority of the adventure.

[@scottsmith4710]

English Dan I have to tell you buddy, there isn’t many campers that would have the balls to camp like you do. You are both old school and new combined.👍

[@jockmachaggis1080]

Great video Dan. I’d have checked the other tent too in case someone is ill or injured. You should make a wood stove for yourself out of a 50cal ammo can.

[@xdazamx]

Tbh, the way you handled the tent situation was... interesting. If it was me, I'd do what I'd want people to do with my things - leave them be. That's the kinda thing I get paranoid about when leaving my tent: come back and it's clear someone has been through my things. "Oh I saw no movement..." so you went through my things? Annnyway, I understand why you did it but you were only there for a few hours. I would understand if it was the next day and by 10 say, no movement. Just my opinion.

[@currahee1960]

You said in your video that you expected more people to be at the campsite you was at, maybe not many people know about it. I certainly would give that campsite a go if i knew about it 😃

thankyou dan and im one of the members that watch all the way through your vids, i have so many questions regarding stoves and camping related stuff i dont want to bombard you on this post could you do a live when you have the time mate

[@salan3]

Just a thought for future. If you get four pegs. Put them in the chimney ( NSEW)diagonally then sit the pan in the middle. It will wedge the pegs and sit higher giving air flow.

[@scottwaterhouse]

I did not know this was a camp site and i live just round the corner. Ill Definitely be able to get my son to walk that far and try camping.

Lol i actually did put my phone to my nose to smell the steak 😂 definitely did the rite thing checking the tent! Great video as always Dan

[@mountainmantararua8824]

I think that you dd the right thing by having a look and see. I noticed the red pack, I write my name on all my packs, just under the lid of the pack, using a marker pen. I also put the date that I purchased the pack. I do this just in case I die or fall on the track and knock myself out. In fact I write or engrave my name on all my gear, it's an aid to identification. Enjoyed the video ATB Cheers from the mountains of NZ ☺☺

Just bought my first Duck down sleeping bag from Naturehike in the Amazon sale. My new Onetigris Scaena got covered in sap because I used my first tarp like a ground sheet.
