Camping in 'Cabin' Tent + POLICE CALLED! 

The funny thing about becoming interested in camping, is realizing how hard it is to actually be alone in nature.

Yeah 100% fair play, the lead officer was polite, courteous, friendly and very reasonable. Exactly how local Coppers should be, good for them.

*Ring ring…hello, police? I just witnessed somebody doing something perfectly legal on land that they own. I need you to put a stop to it.

Bet that felt good, telling them that you owned that Woodland 🙂

I'm in Texas. If someone saw me go walking into the woods WITHOUT a firearm, I wouldn't be shocked if they asked if I needed one to borrow.

On the MREs, you don't have to apologise for doing something you enjoy man. There's always going to be people complaining, do and make the content you enjoy. It's cool.

I had similar experience when I bought my little wood. I was reported to the council for unlawful camping. Again did me a favour as I rang the council, explaining what I was doing and got a great response. Some people just don't like anyone having fun or peace. Happy days

Shame on people bashing you for eating MRE's. Buzz off and just watch the video and enjoy what this man does to entertain us.

OI ! You got a loicense for these burnt sausages ?!

That tip, of building the fire on top of two crossed sticks, is absolute gold! Thank you!

It looks like a townie that's moved into your area, it's full of them where I live now! :(

I actually enjoyed watching you prepare the MRE as we all know how to fry a few bangers and onions. Look forward to seeing a few more like that, the tent looked impressive and well thought out as well. Good to see the British cops are still friendly and polite dealing with the public rather than escalating it unnecessarily before they work out the situation. Great video.

I was in the US Military for a very long time. So far the one that I've found was the best MRE for my taste at least. Was Menu #9 Beef Stew. You can eat that cold with out heating up using the ration pack it actually tastes quite good. Would suggest giving that one a go.

Police visits are always disconcerting even when you're doing everything by the book. I'm glad they were cordial. I really enjoy your content

I don’t care what you eat. I’m here for the show. The fireside chats. The building. Grab what you can on the way out the house !

Mike, you were supposed to put the rice and beans in with the beef into the tortilla. They were a package deal. 😂 No worries, brother. I just stumbled onto your channel, and I’m enjoying it.

That was a really interesting example of interaction with the local constabulary, Mike. No drama, just matter-of-fact. But the person who reported it must have been a little skittish to have done so. Not as if you and your dad had gone all tactical. Although I'd like to see your dad crawling around the woods 😂

I thought the police handled that well to be fair! In fact, you all did! Respectful encounter that didn't escalate for more views. Rare on RU-vid nowadays

At least its useful to have made contact with rural officer in case you have any issue with poachers.

I liked hearing your dad at the end of the clip “do you want cheese on this” 😂

Hearing the Robin singing his heart out takes me back to my childhood camping trips.

As I kid I use to explore everywhere in nature on other people’s land, fishing, building forts, camping overnight. My parents never thought it was wrong. Of course there’s different expectations for adults, but we need to get back to that kind of freedom and innocence.

Never managed to cook sausages so badly the police turned up! In all seriousness though it was a calm and respectful interaction, so really no bad outcomes at all. Fair play to all involved. I suppose another way of thinking is that if anyone was illegally poaching on your land, then someone would’ve reported it for you.

I don't know why people moan about using the food packs, this isn't a cooking channel... just do what you want or need to. keep it up ...love the channel

I'm here for YOUR camping experience... You want MRE's, then eat MRE's. Thanks for all the vids mate.

Literally "OI! YOU GOT'EH LOICENSE FO' DIS 'ERE?" lmao

I’ve had a rough day today and this video really helped my brain just go quiet. Think I’ve found a new comfort channel, thanks :)

Carbon Monoxide IS NOT heavier than air. In fact it is a similar density. If it is hot, it will rise, just like hot air. Carbon Dioxide, on the other hand, IS heavier than air.

You put the rice/beans and meat on the tortillas together

The cheese spread in your MRE was a form of currency in U.S. Army basic training. Good stuff.

Drama aside... hearing the birds churp away while you set up is something else 😊

Fantastic communication between the police and yourselves. If it was America it potentially could have been a different story

TA Outdoors doing some quick stealth camping🔥🔥

The fun police

It was Jaxs that called the police, cause he got left home inside of camping lol

You stopped showing up on my feed for a long time. I actually had to look up ta outdoors just to see if you were still around. Love your content. Keep it up man.

Absolutely love these videos! I learn something new each time. And I think you must have the happiest jack Russel in the world. Great to see people doing such amazing things. Hats off to you guys, love it.

The poor dog was probably salivating, thinking, oh good, sausages.

Its incredible that someone would complain about you as you enter your own land. Orwellian England I suppose. Well handled on you and your dad's part.

Citizen spies 🙄 We have them in USA too sadly

Impleasedto hear the police were called personally. As someone who lives on a Dartmoor village, we had a breaking at a farm a few years ago and 2 shotguns stolen and someone called in several chaps on the moor with guns about 6 months later and it turned out to be the stolen firearms, so I got one am always happy when "better safe than sorry" if thr mindset.

Not a bad thing that someone called the police about seeing people with guns going into the woodland. At least it was you and not poachers on your land and you have all the correct paperwork for your guns and have nothing to hide. Love your videos, more so your dad's fishing videos lol. Keep em coming love both your content.

When I was a lad "house tents" were called Ridge Tents.....

How dare he act like a free person. People might get ideas that freedom is free. Better call the law.

I was prior service US Army. This is what we used to do because eating MREs gets dull when you have them so often: 1. Get the Beef Stew MRE 2. Trade one of the other guys for their Cheese Spread pack (I used to trade the Charms candies for it) 3. Heat the Beef Stew and Cheese Spread together in the heater (FYI, we always filled that bag almost halfway with water, made heating faster and more consistent) 4. Open the Beef Stew pack along the long edge, pour in molten hot Cheese Spread, mix and enjoy (you can toss in Tabasco sauce at this point as well) 5. For dessert, take the Hot Coco mix and add the instant coffee, creamer, warm water, stir well, add some Peanut Butter (if yours came with it) and you have a type of pudding

So enjoy your videos! Just beautiful scenery and calmness of just being in the forest. You show some wonderful new products! Keep up the great work.

Your property is lovely. Yes, that tent is great - especially for one. I loved camping alone but now can't leave hubby and can't take him with me - walkers don't do well in the woods. So thankfully, I get to watch nice folks like you camping in pretty places.

All I see is a member of the public raising a concern, the police checking it in a calm and polite manner, and then promptly leaving when they had checked everything was fine. Surely if you saw something as a member of the public and you reported it to the police you would want them to check it. Everyone acted calmly and well and it was all resolved quickly. Good job.

It's amazing to see the difference between American cops and cops in other countries. This was the most polite police interaction I've ever seen. Well done to the officers!

Lovely video, and always enjoy the MRE content too. The Pomolly tent looks really well made too. Thanks for sharing.

I had the same problem with slipping off the air matrress, all I did was put my matress and bag into a bivvy with it only partially zipped up. It worked a treat and had the added benefit of a bit of warmth and kept my bag dry from the tent sweat I got that night.

Important point: carbon monoxide doesn't sink, it has the same density as nitrogen - i.e. same as ~80% of the air - so it will spread everywhere in the space you're in. It's carbon dioxide that is more dense.

Mre's fascinate me, so I'm always happy to see someone using them. Like the look of that pomoly too.

Great Video, very enjoyable. Thanks for Sharing!!

(SPOTTED!) Congrats to TA senior for managing to mention 'fishing' on Antiques roadshow (known as 'how much?' in our household) when bringing a musicbox! Defo knew it was him when he brought up the fishing rods!!! lmao!

No one was hurt by this happening. The police did a great job at handling it professionally. If you had of been some people who were up to no good and the police were really needed then this would have been good.

I enjoy seeing what are included with mre from around the world and i get to see that vicariously through you.

Pulled a muscle in my back yesterday building racking in the garage, so you’re a perfect excuse to binge watch some of the videos I haven’t seen for awhile. Very nice interaction with the plod. Always right to be on the safe side. I’ve got the Pomoly Tipi tent. I don’t have a stove, so I’m not sure what it would be like but at some stage no doubt I will get one . That certainly looks a great bit of kit with the rain fly parts. It makes the footprint rather large though, but I do suppose you can bring them in slightly. All in all another great video, Mike See you at the Bushcraft show, hopefully All the best always Johnny 🤩👊🌟

That Pomoly Chalet 70 Pro looks very similar to the French Army F1/F2 tents

One of the few ways in the UK to get an immediate police reaction is to cry "knife" or "gun"

Thank you for being able to show very comfortable camping.🏕️ I was relaxed, too.☺️ Such a camping is my ideal.✨ I refer to you.🔥 I enjoy camping, too.🇯🇵⛺️

I've had all kinds of American MRE's. I'm from a military family. I am absolutely in love with any of them that have shakes or smoothies. That's my favorite. But I can say, I honestly love every one I've ever had.

It's nice to see them actually doing their job respectfully, fair play to them, cool content bud , subbed.

All your native vegetation are our weeds in Australia. Thanks pommys 😂

It’s fairly old and I think on its way out, but the Kelty galactic air is good, and spot on for what you mentioned about stopping roll-off

I watch your (and others') camping content because I'm too disabled to go camping anymore, something I really loved to do but my body is just too broken after everything I've been through. If you want to try MREs, I say go for it. I've only ever tried a few and it's interesting to see all the different ones.

Happy St. George’s Day 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿

Wow, it wasn't clear in the short bit of footage you showed, but did the officers tell you they were filming you on their body cams before they went on to question you? I'm glad to see it was all handled in a nice way. Thank you for the great videos xx

I've been using the Flextail Zero with horizontal baffles and it's the most comfortable mattress I ever used so far.

Av been looking at thses tents the other night glad av seen it getting used its massive that brilliant, think av found the hot tent I finally want after looking at dozens of them.

A jogging "Karen" was in fear for their life because they think they might have seen a "firearm"... this is what the world has come to.

Seriously, some Karen called the cops about you camping on your OWN property??? Sheesh. What a stupid world this has become now! Its a good thing the cops have a lot more sense than that jogger.

thought the police were very polite and pleasant , really good to see, love the videos from both you and your dad

For a mat that kinda keeps you from rolling (helps for me) is the Exped Dura 8 Downpad LW. LW = long and wide, could probably go with just W since you are a bit shorter than me. Could also go down on the R-value, I use mine mostly in the winter in Norway, so around -20 C or colder

no lakes or rivers but the cops were fishing all right

With all the madness we’re living with these days it’s impressive that our British police can still respond in a calm manner no guns waved about.

For the MRE packets: Fold over the sealed bits on the edges when inserting into the heater. Fits much better.

That is a really smart way of getting O² to a fire, yet so simple. Why have i never thought of that. Nice one

Great episode Mike. L o v e the tent... probably not the price. I'm an American veteran so I've had plenty of MRE's. My favorites are • Beef Stew • Mini Meatballs in Marinara sauce • Italian Sausage • Southwest Beef & Beans • BBQ Beef Strips. You got lucky with the heating bag... one out of 5 or 6 is a DUD. We also love the cheese spread packets (the bacon flavored). Beware of American MREs with Eggs. I haven't really had any other MREs except for the British (those ARE the best as far as taste, and all the extras tossed in... drink mixes, coffee, tea, cocoa, water purification tabs, lifeboat matches...) I was assigned to the HMS Amazon as liaison when she made Port of Call in the USA prior to Falklands Guardship duties in 1992. I've seen the French & Italian ones. I'll pass. The Italian MREs come with a miniature folding BCB stove (not the one you fold by hand, but an exact miniature of the regular BCB). Some have the low alcohol content aperitif. European MREs are expensive over here. Your police seemed to be decent enough. With all the "unrest" they have to be careful. Here in the States the U.S. Supreme Court is reviewing camping in public by the homeless. Many of our police treat homelessness as a crime. At least I can say that I didn't tolerate my officers to mistreat the homeless. Cheers... P.S. I went to the POMOLY website and this tent is under $200... $180 +/-. They offer a dozen different types and the $ range is from $180 to $ several hundred.

People are not happy unless the are complaining about something. Glad your camping went well besides that.

What a beautiful spot you have chosen, I just love it. The beautiful sounds of the birds singing is so relaxing, priceless. You are going to get a wonderful peaceful sleep 💤 tonight. I like that tent. You get a wonderful view , fresh air when opened up. I would buy that tent, very nice.

make prop sticks for the eave guy lines and you can reduce the length of line needed... less to trip on. They sounded like the police from A Clockwork Orange. I love the folding Themarest pad

Urgh people just need to keep their noses out of other peoples business, my neighbour called the police on me a while back because I dare to own an air rifle….

I'm sure the canine officer enjoyed the walk in the woods 😂 I like that tent. It's huge! I think Pomoly has sent them out to a bunch of RU-vidrs for testing, I've seen them recently on a couple of other channels.

This tent seems like a really good option and of good quality, also has a good price too! I like it and would have a preference to this one over many of them that I have already looked at.

Thank you. Great video...

i'm a fat guy, 5 foot 7 inch and 280 pounds, i use a V static 30 inch mat. i love it.

Iv had this a few times....my family own a large piece of woodland and iv had police out when iv been shooting Squirrels.....not many people understand that its part of woodland management

Living vicariously though you Mike! I enjoy all your content and am inspired to start teaching my young son and daughter about wildlife skills. Your channels are great, I just subbed to life of Mike. Can't wait to see the land cruiser in its final form and you having a few over nights with it!

I love doing this here in alberta canada 🇨🇦. Very peaceful

Happy Saint George’s day

MREs are the way forward for camping trips - zero fuss and great food. Ok, mediocre food. Alright, sustenance that all tastes like tomato with indistinguishable meat or meat-like product... Best ones I've had are French 24hr rations by a long way. Only good british ration content is the rice pudding 😁

beautiful flower meadow you've got there.

If you want to get rid of the corner creases in any tent then you need to peg the middle pegging point first then peg the corners at an angle so as to pull the creases out, nice smooth tent.

Hmmmm maybe a sign outside the entrance to say it’s private land if not already done so and people just need to mind there own business

They control you everywhere😬, even in the forest you can't relax

Great camp, Mike! Be safe out there

Nice tent...liked the video ! Thanks for sharing with us. Stay Safe ! ...Alan in 🇨🇱 Texas 👍👍👍👍👍

Never clicked so fast

It was a good and bad thing for him to report it. You dont want tresspassers going onto your land and doing illegal activities.
