Stuck in a Halfords Tent in the Rain for hours 

Translations; 2 person tent means one person, 3 person tent means you and your gear, 4 person tent means two person tent.

Anyone else come to to this channel for the soothing sound of rain ?

Being someone who works for Halfords I find it funny watching you in a tent that I wouldn’t recommend, unless you are using it in summer when it’s dry, Halfords does sell some pretty good tents through the website but not in store. I do also have a Halfords tent that we have used an awful lot and it’s about 15 years old and still good, but it is a 4 man tent and better built. We do actually sell some good camping stuff but we do sell some pretty cheap stuff too. The headlight you used though is more designed for running so that you are visible hence the red light on the back. It is nice to see other people’s review for things that I personally don’t rate and their conclusions are pretty similar. Thanks Andy for the great videos.

Hunker down and have a few Step 2s! Nice relaxing Camp, thanks Andy!

I must admit that I now do all of my camping in my chair watching your channel (which I thoroughly enjoy). Yesterday my son-in-law and I toasted you with a Neck Oil that he brought back to the US (daughter and son-in-law musicians that play at a number of jazz festivals in the UK). Thanks for providing enjoyable and informative content.

Had a halfords 2 person tent now for 15ish years. It's great. No faults no problems . Perfect for campsites😊

You are a gent Andy, and a massive thank you for the donation. Those tents are always a gamble

I understood the Dire Straits comment!! LOL! This video shows that even cheaper equipment can still make for a fun trip. Thanks Andy!

I absolutely love your content. Thank you so much for the artful camera shots too. And the recipes too. It's 115° today so I'll live vicariously through you.

I got add this second comment ..it’s reminds me camping in Brighton camp site ,it was on a slight hill..we pitched a tent bk in the 70s..it was pouring so hard and could feel the rain running under the tent down the hill,while next door tent,a bloke was blowing up a air bed by mouth n his mate strumming a guitar at 12 ock at night ..what a combination of sounds lol..I miss camping love smell of egg n bacon cooking on camp stove,n a mug tea..they were the days 🇬🇧

I bought a Halfords tent when I was living in Horsham , sussex . We drove down to Buckfasliegh in Devon . got the tent out of it's bag and started to try putting it up only to find there were no loops for the poles to go through, they had not been sown on . Luckily there is a camping shop a couple of miles away in a place called Ashburton so we went and bought another one . Lesson learnt , if you buy a new tent do a test run at home

You are a trooper with all the rain camping, I am originally from New Jersey and camped in old canvas tents in the rain, always rained there too, you cooking is fabulous and my dear friend no longer with us is from Kent, I learned so much from her from cooking and making scones and the best cup of tea.

I like hair channel because I've sorted stealth camping , I take snippets and this dude is ace

" I've just noticed they've left the security tag on" sounds exactly like what a tent fhief would say

Love how you got away with nicking the tent!

“Looks like I’m in Dire Straits” . . . Too funny!

Thank you Andy for an other example of grace under fire in the wild’s of England’s woods!! See you next time.

Thanks for inviting us along ..it always feels like we're with you ..

The algorithm blessed my with your channel when you built the log cabin. I've finally completely caught up with every video and you are my favourite camping RU-vidr. Such calm, quiet, and thoroughly entertaining videos. Many thanks 👍

Going to sleep at 7 am cuz my insomnia is so bad rn. You really help with that. I’m here early for a change!! Hey everyone!!

I like the rainy night ones the best ,thanks Kent .great video as usual,keep em coming 🇬🇧

Thanks for taking me camping with you again Andy! Your the best! 😊❤

I like that u use the trees already down. How you respect nature. It's cool. I am going camping in couple of weeks because of you. Wish me luck. Lol. I'll need it 😂❤😊

This maybe all that people can afford, if it gets you outdoors then good, you don't always need expensive kit to get started 👍

Thanks, Andy, for today’s vid! One of the few channels I check immediately upon seeing there’s a new entry! ❤️

Market Harborian (originally Manc) 49 year old truck driver here. I always enjoy your content Andy. I particularly enjoyed watching one of your vids in the cardboard tent in the same situ with my dear Mum. That particular video provided lots of giggles and chuckles. Your content is a distraction from an increasingly problematic world. Thanks m8.

My personal pet-peeve with any tent is when the design forces you to have all the doors closed in order to keep even light rain from getting inside the tent. Sure it's fine to be all buckled down when its heavy rain and windy but when it's just raining straight down and not too extreme I want a tent that allows me to leave a door open.

As per usual.....I cant wait to watch this Saturday morning! Always the best content on the tube! Thanks Andy! Many cheers from the Prairies of Canada! 🍻⛺️🇨🇦

Lol! The almost yelling sneezes are the best 🤣 so relatable while camping with allergies

Scones, clotted cream, jam and tea, and call it a night. Andy you are a super chill!

I was conceived in a tent back in 1978. Mum n Dad pitched the tent & it rained non stop that weekend & they 'had to keep warm somehow' 😅

similar quality to those sold by UK supermarkets during the relatively short 'Summer/BBQ/ Gardening' season, I should know...28 years at Asda and whenever they instructed the In Store Handyman to erect display tents he always came to me outside his experience

Greetings for North Georgia, USA. We sure could use some rain here. Send some over when you're not too busy.

Awesome as always Andy. Thank you for sharing your awesome adventures ❤ At least the rain gave you a bit of a break. You were able to get out and enjoy a little nature 😊 with all that rain you still managed to make some good looking food yummy 😋. KEEP ADVENTURING GOD BLESS YOU

I want camping as a kid in the 70’s many times, we spent most days in the tent due to it pissing down with rain, those were canvas cotton tents back then so after about 2 days of rain and I’m not sure if it was wetter inside our outside the tent!

Great shout out to the veterans. Keep going out and testing equipment for us. Food looked good. 👍🏻 enjoyed it ! 😊

Andy? You're an angel with that headlight!!😂😂😂

I’m in AZ USA. 113 is the current temp. These videos cool me off!

Camping for two nights in Glen Coe tomorrow after a long drive up from Hereford with friends. The issue is, I have recently moved house and my usual tent is buried deep in a storage unit and this was a last minute road trip planned 2 days ago. In the shed I have this exact Halfords Dome XL which we used as a storage tent last summer. Wish me luck 😂

There's loads of things you can do to a cheap tent to make it more durable and water resistant, give it coat of fabsil, use a solid plastic tarp over it, buy bivvy T pegs instead of thin ones, get extra ground sheets to give more cushioning and to keep the floor dry.

I am very glad that I have found your channel. Steve Wallis from Canada quit posting so you definitely fill a void. Thanks.

Thanks Andy for sharing this amazing video absolutely enjoyed watching this epic adventure cheers

Everyone knows its cream first then jam 🤣 great vid as always thank you ❤

There's nothing more cozy than sitting by a little log fire (yep, England in July!) -watching some poor bugger camping in the pouring rain, Andy! It's a nice honest test out of Halfords gear and the tent could have been worse.. Thanks. Hope you dry out!

Halfords is as Halfords does. As a Spring/Summer campsite camper, I have used Halfords in the past and will again although I have reservations. I bought the hanging light featured and yes, the switch is hard work but I switched it on and off infrequently and I got it on sale for £3. I use their camp bed which I bought on offer for £15 and is very comfy; heavy, but then I don't backpack. Cheers for the videos.

Id like to thank you for the videos. I have a hard time camping because of my injuries from Afghanistan. These videos are soothing and scratch that itch i miss about being in the woods.

Great stuff! Thanks Andy 😊

You're always a joy to watch Andy! Thank you for all you do 😊

Yess!! I love ones where you got lots of rain, I feel a bit bad when you're outside haha, but once you're in the dry it sounds so peaceful!

Thanks so much for this video! I live in Alaska USA so I am going to shop at Walmart for camping supplies. Doesn’t need to be fancy with the fancy prices, right! Needs to be functional!

I always enjoy your videos. My parents took us tent camping growing up, and my husband and I continued the tradition with our family to tent regularly. Health issues have kept us from doing that for several years now, so it's fun watching your videos and getting the experience vicariously.

I absolutely love Andy's channel for Relaxing before I sleep and the rain just makes it better.🏕 🌧

Hello from Norway. The closest I get to camping is through you. You cook a lot of good food, which is tempting to make. Made pancakes with bacon, and bread pudding😉

Thanks for the lovely inspiration! going up to Lappland north of Sweden on Saturday camping and fly fishing

Nice video Mate. Thanks. Ive always wondered why a 2 man tents are never realistically big enough for 2 men? Give the zip a rub on a wax candle. It helps with waterproofing. The Dire Straits reference made me laugh.

Oh my goodness, I absolutely love watching your videos, the scenery is breathtaking, you enjoy the outside so very much, and it shows, I love the fact that you try out all different types of products and give your honest opinion, which is rare out there in the world, love all of your recipes, I never knew so much amazing stuff could be cooked on a campfire, I will definitely be trying more, cannot wait to see what you putout next, love you and your videos, stay safe and enjoy

We have Halfords in The Netherlands as well. Great shop

Living in Utah, it's nice to see a proper scone. The people here label everything wrong and are just bass ackwards about everything.

This kit is just the job for a week or a weekend in the woodlands. The fewer times it is packed up and stored away the better. I would not give up my carefully curated kit for any part of this Halfords set.

Hey Kent I enjoy your camping videos, you always bring out something new another tent thank you sharing it with me

What did you do with the rest of the beaten egg? Fry it up as a mini omelette? Save it? Chuck it? Hope you didn't chuck it. "Halfrauds". Heh! Careful, they might sue... Thanks as always for this, very entertaining and informative as well, although I look forward to one of your more elaborate menus soon.

Clwb is Welsh for Club. You know, where the drinks are free 🍹

Awesome as always.Thanks for sharing and taking us along

It’s amazing I got near enough the exact version of this tent when I went to Glastonbury in 2017. It was bright orange. Did the job but the condensation in the morning was a nightmare. Didn’t rain much though. Had an inflatable bed which did deflate every morning and gave up in the end. Used to sleeping on the ground but boy my back hurt after 5 days ha. I think I still have the tent somewhere in the cupboard.

Jam first! The absolute correct way to do it. Geddon bird 👍🏻👏🏻

Hello from the US just wanted to say I've really enjoyed watching your videos, I saw one that was 5yrs ago you look different with long hair good just slightly different 😊 thank you for sharing your experiences

I love watching your videos I have to stop at times to convert some things to American math lol not a big issue keep posting the great content.

Living in the US we have a few "Halford" style shops depending on where you live that mostly sell cheap tools, but I would have never thought to check them for camping gear other than a cheap tarp and hatchet or the like. Always love the recipes, you make it look so easy making curry or stir fry! I make a huge mess at home and my wife hates when I cook cause I don't clean up till we're done eating. That stovetop oven is really something, I've got to get me one of those. Love the channel!

Tagine cooking please, if your taking requests and haven’t already, I haven’t got through all your videos yet (I will). Obviously a delicate item to transport but I think it would be fun. Had many a happy holiday in a Halfords tent when kids were young and I didn’t know or couldn’t afford better, I thought all tents had those faults !

Hello from Thailand

Thanks for all you share I enjoy it - wish I was out there camping too Have been thinking about how I might do it You are inspiring in a gentle way

Hello Andy, I can see the light from your head lamp from here in Colorado, USA. We love your adventures, cooking, and gear reviews. Cheers!

Your experience of being stuck in a Halfords tent in the rain for hours captures the unpredictable adventures of outdoor life, showcasing your resilience and ability to find moments of joy even in challenging circumstances. And I am Floating Village Life In From Viet Nam

Two man tent? My arse. Good video. Thanks.

I own 2 great tents , ones a 3 man & ones a 4 man & even out of the box I,ll spray a waterproofing on them & every spring I keep spraying water proofing on them every year . My 3 man tent I’ve had it since I was a teenager & it’s still going strong now that I,m in my 50s & just 2 years ago I got a 4 man , both are very light for 3 & 4 man tents & I’ve had them in some really bad down pours & none on then leak a bit . Even solo I like a lot of room in my tents , it makes me feel at home .

In all honesty I absolutely love every video thank you very much Andy for your time and information it really is very much appreciated 👍

Someone who has time and editing skills, I emplore you: pretty please do an edit of clips of Andy saying “ooo yeah” after his first drink of tea. I need it.

Not c.l.w.b Andy,it’s clwb Tropicana like a Cymru Wham!! 😂😂

Thanks for another great video Andy ,allways a pleasure to watch

I am now relaxed. Thanks buddy!

Epic! Andy taking one for the team and testing out stuff so we don't have to! Thanks man ;)

Congratulations on getting the jam/cream correct. The cream always rises to the top.

We have a six birth air tent from Halfords and it’s fantastic! We’ve had several family trips and we have no complaints at all. It’s actually really well designed and completely waterproof. We’ve sat through several downpours in the lounge area

All your food looked delicious. Love your calm nature. Thank you for the video

I'll watch you after the England game Andy if that's OK yeah hope we win.

In Canada we call your "toasty" a Grilled Cheese sandwich.

I love watching your content ive started camping since discovering your channel and building up to a wild camp but im a bit scared on my own lol but i also cover the amazing long shots of the foliage and the soothing sounds

I always enjoy watching you try out the more inexpensive gear, being in Australia we don't have many of the brands but they are comparable to what you can find here. I was very impressed in your ability to climb out of a small tent and into your boots with such grace😊

Little bit of useless information about halfords history, started life as an ironmongers and it got it's name from the street where the first store opened in 1902. where it progressed from an ironmongers to selling bicycle parts.

We have the same kind of shop in Canada called 'Canadian Tire' that sells the budget camping gear also. We call it 'Crappy Tire' for the same reasons you have for Halfords 😛

Everything about Andy's videos is soothing.

Upvote THEN watch :D This is the way :D

Been scrolling RU-vid for something to watch for ages thank you for uploading

Thanks for sharing ❤

Loving the channel, love the rain ,on tent,so soothing more please.⛺️🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿🚙👍🏻

Your videos have brought me joy. Thankyou for them

Thanks Andy, great fun to watch as usual 😊

From what I see....the selections of items you intend to use for this outing will be perfect!

Love your videos and your openness, God bless you Buddy ✌️

Man, I wish we had that rain. It’s averaging 28 here in NS. Very envious. Love the content.
