One Year in the Woods - Living in a Tent 

I’m like... put your food in a tree or build a cache, what the hell are you doing? Then... he’s in the UK no predators. Love from Canada 🇨🇦

I’m struggling to understand why 2 very odd people would thumbs-down this video. An incredible little production and highly entertaining and interesting. Subscribed.

I use the large glass jars with metal lids to keep mice and ants out of my food. Built a shelf to hold 16 of them.

This looks so cool, with the whole family out in the bush. Even the teenage daughter you have managed to bring with you, impressive. In fact, this is a lifestyle that I would like to try over a longer period of time. In any case you have made a tough decision. Respect to you all. May you and your family have many great times together at the camp. Thanks for sharing.

I'VE been living like this for 7 years now.In the south of France.Best choice ever.Good luck mate

That would be very interesting to do. Imagine getting away from city life for a year

What a blessing brother....the way things are going you might have another year there yet and that'll give you a chance to get the alcaline soil you need for the vegetable plot. Nothing but admiration for the past year you've been there and sharing with us

All the mice, rats and squirrels in the whole county are texting each other, can't believe a human has a whole tent full of food .🐀🐀🐀🐀

Nothing like being in the woods 😊😊

Don't forget the greatest reason for hot tents. No mortgage 💰😉😂😂☕🍩❤

Ashes from the fire on the veggies, keeps slugs off and promotes growth 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼

This is the way to live! One day I hope to do the same :)

Awesome video. Love seeing all the carvings, tables and chairs. Love the rock fireplace. Enjoyed seeing all the good meals cooked, the seasons changing etc. The smiles. Just awesome. Thanks for sharing.

Just want to thank you so much. I have always craved the outdoor life, it's not possible for me to do what you do unfortunately but I have a basic gazebo in my garden which I slept in for some of the year until it became too wet and cold. Thanks to you and people like you I have learned so much about waterproofing, heating etc. I know most people around me would think I am a little crazy but it's so good to see people like you who completely relate. It's basically regaining your sanity in this crazy world and getting back to the beautiful natural world God created. Nothing can beat waking up to the purity of bird song!

No better way to spend this insane year I envy that my friend your ABSOLUTELY 100% right NOTHING is better than that tranquil feeling of nature it's like being unplugged from the chaos and plugged back into mother earth!!😁✊🔥 Wish you much success stay strong&healthy safe&happy!!(=✌💚

That was a beautiful movie. Thank you for making it and for sharing it with us.

I have always wanted to live on the woods. My question is were are the chickens coming from lol

That was absolutely beautiful video....I wish I could live outdoors all year round...my dad needs me so gotta wait till he passes

And your dog is beautiful

I'm subscribed! This is the most stunning camp set up. The food looks amazing! The view is lovely too.

Your one lucky man. Living my dream in this video and you have someone to share it with. Awesome video documentary. Well done!

Such a fantastic experience!♥️🏕 I’m so happy you got to take a year out of your life and got to spend it in the woodlands. Your dog is so precious, too. What a sweetheart.🧡 God bless you and your family. 🙏I enjoyed watching this so very much.

Really enjoying your videos. This certainly is the dream, but wow what a difference being in the UK. I know you’ll get a lot of that in comments, but it truly is A completely different thing when you don’t have to worry about bears. Great stuff mate. Cheers from New York.

Great video friends, and we have spring soon, the snow will melt, we will plant vegetables, fish in the river, prepare hay for the winter for rabbits

G'day mate from Melbourne Australia 👍 New Sub !! Just stumbled onto your channel due to my bushcraft interests etc. Luv ya work bloke !! Am about to retire "Off Grid" here very soon and am looking for idea's and a fresh appreciation of the only true way of living the re-calibrated life 🍁 Thanks for sharing all your hard work and awesome content ..... More power to ya mate ☘️

15:50 Love watching and reading Alone in the Wilderness. I’m insanely jealous of you being able to be out in the woods like that ... maybe in my next lifetime! Till then I’ll have to rely on your terrific videos! Sadly here in Canada, such an endeavour will likely result with a bear encounter- at least here in the south west coast ... but I simply adore watching your adventures! All the best mate! Richard

Wonderful video... Loved it , especially it covers the four seasons and with your lovely family... Love from india👍🏼

Spent 6 months in the national forest of north georgia here in USA 2019 and loved every minute of it! Went many days without even seeing another person. 2 juvenile bears crept up on me, I was mining for gem stones and they were foraging and didnt see me nor did I see them until they had walked right up on me. Maybe 4 feet away. Not sure who was most scared! They went 1 way and I went the other. Hahaha good times! Seriously I bout messed up my britches! Hoping to go back soon!

Great documentary and it takes courage and skill to go bout living off grid. Now that you have the Defender, are you still living off grid at the camp? So how are things going for you now in the UK? I see the same scenario coming again. Good on you. I’m learning many things watching your videos.

Good family & food = ❤❤❤ +🐾🐾😉 God bless

Hey buddy. Sorry I haven't commented more, but I have been watching the family videos when I got the chance. My schedule is somewhat manageable now so hopefully I can enjoy them like I used to instead of watching on the run. Because you guys are my outdoors youtube addiction and Dean I feel like we're long distance bro's!! Scotch eggs still a hit at dinner party's for me. Haha. Great video my friend. I wish I could pitch one right close to you and chill. Hey to buster as well. Big E and Cash

The best life living is the tent🙏🙏🙏 is ancient since Adam and Eve days… 2023.. We are in the future.. What.. the woman makes it fun

Hey I enjoy watching, If u spent 4 seasons camping. U need to hey lets build a small log cabin if u can? I been watching Simon Bloke in the woods, Kent survival , I been learnin a lot watching camping videos going through the pandemic.How deep do u put the tap in the tree. This is my first time watching.Take care stay healthy !!

Just subscribed loved the video wish i had done the same back at the begining if the pandemic i thought about it but the wife would have wanted to come with so you know scrapped that idea 💡 😉 😀

First time coming across your channel and I'm so glad I have. This is my absolute dream, I think this is how life should be lived

I live in the the woods, but in a house! Love being in the woods. You can go outside in your underwear. Neighbors 2 to 5 miles away.

Awesome video and a first for me! Definitely subscribed. Something I aspire to do myself so top man for doing this!

Great video as always. Think I've seen them all before but nice to have them put together into one. Love your wood carvings, what's the best type of wood for bowls,cups and utensils to keep whatever you put into them from soaking into the wood?

Pretty awesome. Glad everything worked out. Luckily, you don't have bears.

Just found your channel, glad that I did. Obviously I have subscribed. After watching this, I can feel the 'inner peasant' waiting to surface. Only a few centuries ago, Britain was covered in forest, with the occasional moor. I think they may have had a better quality of life then (except for Doctors and Dentists) than we have in the compartmentalised lives, that we endure today. I hope that you can keep these coming.😉😎😎

Great run through the year Dean...thanks for the look.

Amazing recap on your past year it's great to see how far yourselves have come from this time last year ..you and your family have kept me sane this past year as I have been a key worker with the vulnerable throughout the pandemic and it's been tough at times so cheers to you and your family keep inspiring us all and I look forward to the year to come now there's light at the end of the tunnel 😊🏕👍

I may not comment on every video, but I do watch and make sure to give a thumbs up on all of them. I’ve enjoyed watching this past year’s videos. Cheers to you and your family. Even the Buddha(Sidhartha Guatama) said a person must go out and get a way from society in the pursuit of enlightenment.🤙😎

Great video of you all for a year, maybe things will improve for next year. We can only Pray for relief. Thanks for sharing Mate!

Loved this ....great way of living life! Hope you have a lot of adventures to come x love the ladies ...taught them very well lol😜

Nooo, say it isn't over. This was the best part of my day. Thank you for sharing this.

GOD BLESS u and your Family !!!! what a pleasure watching you n family living life so peaceful !!! im a photographer i do wildlife n landscape and theres nothing better then being outhere in the wilderness !!!!!!!!! Thanks for sharing with us that wonderful life !!!!!!!!!!

very inspiring - have yourself a new subscriber here

The Forest is our only true home. No slabs of concrete.

Love your site I'd love to camp like that some day

Funny how the word privileged has applied to different kinds of people over the years. Back a few hundred years and the privileged lived in huge fancy houses and it was the peasants who lived on the edge of woodlands. Oh how things change. Blessed family. Thanks for sharing ❤️

You getting a bit stuck on videos old boy.🤔🤭😃

Very nice and relaxing video. I watched all the way thru. And I enjoyed it very much. Thank you for sharing your experience with us. Blessings

Love you guys, you are a wonderful group of people and I really enjoyed the video, Thank you for sharing !!!!! Well done. Smitty

..I always keep a bit of fire-fighting gear handy...one shovel per person, a couple of small fire extinguishers, pail of water(covered, to keep the chipmunks from drowning)...

Do you own the land

Thank you that was lovely. Can't imagine how great experiencing that was

Fabulous video, really appreciate all of your efforts in making this, tip top.

Gotta get me one of those! That tent is great! Love the channel mate.

That is so awesome☺️☺️☺️ I wish my husband do that same and we live peacefully like your family as well

Wow, absolutely gorgeous way of life, and nature.. Loved watching all this thanks for sharing ❤️❤️👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

Awesome video! I can't wait to go again. Last time I went was for three months.

That was excellent Dean and seeing how much the camp has progressed over the year and gone from strength to strength. The fab additions, makeovers and upgrades that have all helped to enhance and better the outdoor living lifestyle. VERY AWESOME INDEED 🙏👌🤗

Build a table put by the fire for prep...

Love your videos and jealous! Hoping to start my adventure soon. Any chance you would make a video compiling all your projects such as your carving bench, chairs, tables, etc? Thanks for documenting your adventure!

Your doggie is beautiful and seems so content sending angels for protection always amen ❤❤

Curious as to why you didn’t build a wood cabin with all that spare time. I appreciate watching your video. I like how you brought all your wood working tools. Thanks for sharing. Definitely food for thought.

Omg so good. Brings back memerys of living on a narrowboat for25 years. Now back on land due to health issues. Still no tv car or papers. Thats the way to go .. thank you... Mark

We're are you in southeast I'm in bexhill love to meet up

Wow this is awesome! Would love to do this!

Make a fence for the garden or the wildlife will have it all!

Looks like fun!! I love camping!! Your bread you made looks amazing!!

Lovely job on the video mate, and great job on the music selection. That must have been one great year from the looks of it! It's a lot of work, but so rewarding and good for the soul.

England! At least you all don’t have to worry about bears or other predators. Great video!

I'm just recently retired. Going to try camping in my state on the coast. No worries about snow. Florida does not have it! Thanks for the video! Loved it!

Nice I like the chair u built, can u make me four!!

Well that was better than watching a latest woke hollywood movie

Living the dream there my friend 👏🏼👍🏼🙏🏼

Had one of those tents. 17' diameter. I lived in mine almost 1 year. Now I have a cabin and the tent is long gone. Destroyed by the desert sun

Amazing video to watch, what an amazing experience this must have been! Thank you for sharing this with us 😁 liked and subscribed 👍

Absolutely lovely video, what a lifestyle. Really enjoyed watching that.

tell you the honest truth .. the more i see gents like you taking your family into the woods , the more i tell myself that this is the reason why I am all for a Breakaway nation ..well done sir cheers from western Canada

Blimey its been a year already! fair play mate I envy you mate.. Nice movie bud 👍🏻

I really enjoyed watching this family enjoying life worth living in the wilderness. You can almost smell the clean fresh air and the stew cooking , with the homemade bread in the Dutch oven. What an experience of a lifetime, all in one whole year of their lives in the woodland. Thanks for sharing with this old poet. Trace Stevens tms poet Ohio USA

I wish i can just get up and camp in the woods for a year, here in texas you would be shot or arrested the first night on someone elses property

I love your great attitude which brings out the amazing person you are inside . God bless you mate . You and your family are in my prayers . Once again , God bless !

what a Very Nice Video!! i Loved It!!! Well Done!! u need a Oscar!! ^5 Respects from, California.... Brian

I wish I could be in your shoes. You are living my dream.

Very interesting video thanks! Did you have to ask anyone for permission to setup in the woods? Thanks

Without trying to out your location, and excuse my ignorance as this is the first video of yours I’ve seen….how do you leave camp without your things being stolen or trashed etc or is this private land? Thanks and what an amazing video and life!

id be extremely careful about melting snow for water these days knowing about all that chemtrail spraying

I really Love the campsite. Do you ever pet your dog? He or she is very calm. Kristy

Brother that stew was looking good Sir 👍

Mr. Wacker will you do another year out there?

What an insparation! I have been binge watching those videos, while writing down a list of essential items for long time camping. You are truly living tne dream of many of us buried inside these citys.

It was a lovely series from the year that has passed. So you're probably just waiting for Johnson to open up then there are taillights of landy.

Absolutely incredible. I grew up in East Sussex with my father working in the woods and they were my happiest times. Your video bought it all right back, thank you so much.

You're living a dream, Mr. B! Tell the ladies I said hey!

What an inspirational experience. Really enjoyed this, thank you!

A wonderful video !!! I hope you had an equally wonderful time !!!! Enviable !!!
