Solo Bushcraft Camp under fallen tree - Too Much Rain! 

As an ex jungle soldier from the Aussie Army may I give you a tip? Don't wear a tight raincoat. It overheats and restricts you. It soon lets the wet through, both as rain and sweat. It doesn't keep your pack or sleeping gear dry. Rather sling a light, wide, plastic sheet like a cloak over your back and fasten it around your neck. This leaves your arms free and lets your body breathe. It also keeps your gear nice and dry. It can later be used to cover stuff at your camp that you need to leave outside your shelter. Cheers.

I suffer anxiety and depression. Your videos are so wonderfully relaxing to watch. So glad I found you on here x

One think i love about you videos Andy (along with others like Simon and Mark) is that you dont try to hide your mistakes or problems. It adds an element of 'realness' and hepps others, like myself, to learn and not expect perfection when we try to emulate you. Thank you for your honesty! 👍

As I've written under other of your video's, I'm one of thousands of frequent and older viewers. I find your videos both informative and relaxing. I love to sit back every night and watch your videos before bed. May I propose an evening chat held on RU-vid sometimes between you, and we fans? A moment to reflect on your videos, answer questions and simply say hello? I'd also like to propose a group for some of us called "grannies for Andy!" This group consisting of older gals who can't camp as you do but love that you do! Seriously, thank you for the videos. I very much enjoy them.

Hi Andy, don’t stress about us when your videos don’t go to plan. It doesn’t bother us whatsoever, we’re grateful with whatever you produce. Keep up the amazing work! Love from Queensland, Australia 🇦🇺🐨🍻

I'm in. Kind of a funny story actually, my cat loves watching your videos with me. She comes and stares at my laptop and follows you on screen. Bird sounds, leaves rustling and such are a great bonus but I think she's just very interested in learning 😅🤣 I'm scared that if she ever gets lost, she won't come back home because she learned from you how to start a fire, make shelter and prepare food. Love from Poland ☺

It's crazy that I like watching a video of somebody camping.

I love the honesty. Please never stop telling the truth.

I've got ADHD and I struggle to get settled down at night, but when I see you've released a video it goes on to finish about 10.30 and I go to bed and go straight to sleep! Thank you for your content may it continue to enable an adhder to sleep at night! Also.... I'm in!

Hey Andy. I enjoy watching your videos. I’m a grandma from Manchester UK. I like the different kits/set ups you take for different conditions. I pretend to myself I could do what you’re doing - yeah right. Simply very pleasant to watch.

Andy you are a professional mate and you definitely know what you are doing 👍

You made me start camping with my 10 year old son. We love it. I'm in! ❤

Love the channel, started watching about 6 months ago and camped out for the first time in over 30 years. Bought some basic bushcraft equipment and planning to give it a go myself. Thanks for getting me interested in the outdoors again.

I'm in! Love your channel I watch it to help me get to sleep I find it so soothing especially when you're camping out in the rain. A real tonic in this crazy hectic world!

I just want to say thank you Andy for all of your videos. You make my life better just by watching you ❤ Bless you

I always look forward to your firewood processing and beer drinking! What a joyous way to spend an evening in the woods!

I’m in, Andy! Love Ukrainian products and try to support them whenever I can! 🇺🇦

There's nothing like persistent English rain running down your back😂🌧️🌧️ I'm in 👍🏻

I'm in! Another informative and relaxing video. Thanks

Love your honesty. When you're miserable, we 're miserable with you. Also look forward to what's on the menu in the evening....breakfast too. Loved the bacon fried and then refried in pancake batter. Serve it often now. Wishing you dry nights in rainy weather.

Hi from sunny QLD Australia. My husband and I stumbled across your channel a couple of weeks ago and since then we have started binge watching your channel! I must say we’re quite addicted to not only your camping tests but mainly your nature as a person . We thoroughly enjoy every part : the set up, the cooking, the everything but mainly how you take everything in your stride in such a chilled fashion. I think you’re bloody brilliant , entertaining, and educational. You need to come to Sunny QLD and experience our beautiful land, be sure to bring Simon .

I have just discovered you.... and I LOVE watching these before I go to bed.... they make me feel all cosy and relaxed! I never ever thought I'd go camping.... but you may just sway me!!!! ❤

Thank you again for an excellent time out in the motherland! Great stuff - Cheers!

Absolutely breathtaking! Nature truly is the best escape from the hustle and bustle of everyday life."

I'm in! Another great video. I teach forest school to young people who are suffering anxiety and often mention your channel to my students. Informative and relaxing well done! Thanks mate.

What do I love about this channel? The ambiance, peace, fires, food, and your unwavering positive attitude! You savour life and I’m here for it! Thanks, Andy!

You bring back lovely memories of a natural property I stewarded with friends. I lived on it for 5 months and did many things like you do. Now said property is in trust for others to enjoy. My most memorable moment was when a beaver came right up to my tent one night to peek inside.

I'm in Andy. Thanks for all the videos. So interesting to see how you enjoy the outdoors as well as what you're cooking. Keep safe, warm and dry. 😊

I’m in! Great video as usual, and appreciate how you’re mutually supporting the good people of Ukraine ♥️👍

I'm in! Love that you have your permissions that allow you to try out all the bushcraft ideas, keep them coming Andy, hope you are well

I'm in🤩 a Great Video! Learning from your videos is one of life's greatest pleasures!

If I had not been moving house and been in time for the draw I'd have said I'm in. I'll jst thank you for all your videos again and hope you have a great year. Thanks again Andy

I love your videos and your laid-back style. You come across so genuine, honest and decent. Wonderfully wholesome with a simple but awesomely enjoyable endeavor. It works perfectly. Keep them coming please mate because I love your company.

I've been watching your videos for a couple of years now & I find them so calming, reminds me of my youth when I used to go camping.

I'm in! I love the tips in the comments! Everyone sharing their knowledge from experience has helped me (a newbie) not make so many mistakes while still keeping my pack lite.

Im in. Just started this journey with my wee boy. Watching your videos helps with even the basics. The fallen logs reminded me always to look up when setting up a camp. Thanks. Subscribed as well.

I’M IN! I love watching all of your videos, Andy. I always learn so much from you. You’re a good teacher and the calmness in your voice is very soothing. Take care and stay safe. 😊

I'M IN! I found this channel randomly last weekend and have been addicted ever since. I literally fall asleep every night now to your videos. Your voice is soothing to me lol, and you seem like a genuinely all around good person. I've never been camping, but now wanna go so bad. Keep up the great videos. They're amazing.

I would love one of these great Knives. They look well made and do a great job!!! Andy keep up the GREAT JOB!!!!

I'm in! Just discovered your channel a few days ago and I've watched a dozen videos already! Love your content!

Thank you for sharing this. I'm having a bad pain flare up & this is a welcomed escape.. Your videos are the ultimate relaxation and escape (with added bushcraft knowledge thrown in).. You're a gem!!

I’m in love with your camping videos…I used to love camping.The quiet,the sounds of nature…even the rain but not the midges here in Scotland. Keep up the good work,you make a lot of people very happy. X

I'm in! Love the torch construction! The knive is besutiful.

I'm in ... Canada! Great content, Andy. I really enjoy your videos and seeing your marvelous country. Keep them coming!

I'm in! You reinvigorated my love and passion for camping after many years. Please don't underestimate the tremendous effect this has had on my mental health and well-being. You got me out of the rut was in and saved my life. I cannot thank you enough honestly 🙏🙏🙏🙏

I’m in! Thanks for your awesome videos Andy. I have been really sick this year and oftentimes the only things I can watch are you, Simon, Shoestring Martha and the Korean camping ladies (Bongbong and PeachRim). I’m working really hard to get better so that I can continue our camping trips inspired by you all.

Awesome you delt with it so well that rain which can be disheartening but also when prepared just part of the experience 👏

The natural scenery where you are is so beautiful

I'm in! My partner and I are obsessed with your content and you've inspired us to get back out into nature and enjoy the absence of technology and busy cities! Thank you for making such great videos 😊

I live in Tenerife, its 5-30 p.m., the sun is still shining and its 28 degree C. Your video reminds me of how crap UK weather is - its cheered me up no end, thanks

I'm in (I'm Live in Canada, ex-patriot Brit from Wimbledon).... I have followed your channel for a few years and have learned a few things. I particularly like the food prep/cooking portions of your Video's. You're responsible for me purchasing an Opinel #8, a great little knife that's now in my EDC. My current camping knives are a Mora Companion and one that I made myself. I would love to add a BPS to my outdoor itinerary. (Just saying')

I'm in. Thanks Andy for the time you put into videos. Thoroughly enjoy them.

I’m in ! Live in the states. Michigan. I’m paramedic and the only joy I get watching your videos when they come out. I go out on my off time , and learn so much. Not just about bush craft , but about cooking. My hat is off to you. Thank you so much, it helps me decompress.

I'm in ! love your channel, it's been fascinating watching how you've developed your style over the years. Never miss an episode. Keep on Andy.

I'm in! Love this channel so much, just found you recently and it's such a nice quiet joy to fall asleep to.

I’m in!!!!!! I love your vids another camp with some lovely signature British weather only ever rains when you go to pack up!

I'm in, I love watching you cook , more than one of you recipes has met my kitchen, being disabled and housebound, your vlogs help me relive times I could getmout in the wild❤

I'm in. Nice one Andy, loving your stuff as always mate. Cheers. Mick.

Hi. I’m learning so much from you. I do watch very often. I try not to miss too much. Hope you keep doing what you do. Never too late for us to learn.

I'm in. Cheers Andy, I i hope you had a lovely birthday 🎉❤🎉

I'm in! Now's as good of a time as any to say your videos have been really just pleasant and comfortable to enjoy at night. It's kind of like shutting out the rest of the world for a while and just getting to exist. It's lovely.

I’m in! Starting to dip my toes back into camping and the outdoors. Your channel is so relaxing and had me yearning for the bush again.

Another brilliant one Andy, you made that camp look so homely , hate when it comes to the end, I could stay watching for hours. ☘

I’m in Love watching your channel it’s my go to when I need cheering up

I'm in! Thanks to you, Andy and BPS for your generosity.

I'm in! Another awesome video dude, keeping a current house bound due to long term illness guy sane with a fix of the outdoors. Keep the good stuff coming 👍

I'm in mate. I love watching your videos of camping and cooking in all kinds of weather. Cheers!

I'm at a point in life where I'm going through something and ur videos help me to forget. U have an awesome channel. Thank you for doing what you do.

I'm in! Your channel not only teaches us about safe and responsible camping in the wild but the joy of being in the middle of nature away from the rat race is second to none. I've been gradually building my wild camping gear so when my son and granddaughter visit in the New Year, we will do some wild camping in Devon and Cornwall 🙏❤

You know Andy for us tired old folks this seems like a lot of work for just one night. Now if I was having to do it for a week I would muddle my way through. You make it all look so easy and untiring so thanks for bringing us along so we can enjoy camping from an easy chair😂

I’m in, sir! I just came across your videos about two weeks ago and I have really enjoyed watching you. Your videos are relaxing and very enjoyable. Keep up the good work.

I'm in! Absolutely love your videos and knowledge. We learn so much. Thank you Andy! Nancy from VERMONT!

I'm in. I love bushcraft, wildcamping, and getting out in the wilds and countryside. Your channel is educational and relaxing.

Im in Andy, good to see nice stuff still being produced in ukraine 🇺🇦 and great all round support 👍🏻

I’m in! Great videos all the time. Love the cooking as well since it’s my weak point; it’s inspiring. Thanks brother from Oregon 🤙🏼

I'm in, enjoy your firewood processing and fire lighting demo's.

Thank you for taking us camping! Enjoy the outdoors and of course I'm in!

I’m in. I grew up camping and raised my kids the same way. Now days I have the pleasure of teaching my grandkids. Watching your videos helps me enjoy the woods when I can’t be outdoors myself. Thank you for sharing your experiences with us. Keep up the amazing work.

LIKE THE WAY THESE 2 VIDEOS START & END WITH YOUR HOOD UP ON YOUR COAT

Wonderful! Thanks for the work Kent! Great production. Love listening in. God bless! 😊

God I love this channel. Probably the most relaxing channel I’ve found in ages. Such a breath of fresh air

I'm in! Love your videos Sir! My lady and I watch them often and go back and watch older videos as well. You have inspired my lady to get out and give the woods a go. So thank you for that!

Rain and all, I really liked this camp. ❤

I’m in! I enjoy your site and have gotten some buds to watch too. Of all the bushcraft /camping people I have to say you sure know your stuff. Hands down you cook up the best food.

✨ your wisdom shall remain as such 😌✨❤️‍🔥✨ thank you Kent ☄️👍💎 Shine on You crazy diamond 💎

Been watching this channel for a couple of weeks now, I definitely enjoy it. And I must say, it's been giving me strong urges to get out of the suburbs and go camping again after a couple of years having not done so.

I’m in!!! Thank You! Love your videos! When I can’t go camping I watch your videos. Learn a lot too!

Your vlogs are terrific ! It was educational to me , how you put together the torch and used fat wood to make the light . ❤️

Thanks for your work Andy, it's an inspiration to me and if only mainstream media gave us great stuff like this. Cheers.

You just keep better and better with your editing and photography. You were GREAT years ago but this is sublime!

I like your reviews, saves me time and money. I am in on the knife, really nice to have.

That was a back to basics hard work video, well done
