Sub Zero Winter Hot Tenting in a Modified Polish Army Lavvu. 

Great video. Such a peaceful place. Anyone else think this guy is a kind soul?

I too am addicted these camping videos, I watch in bed before dozing feeling very warm, cosy and content with the world.

1.5 million views!! (at the time of my writing this). I wonder how many folks have watched this several times over as I have. Simon's videos are so serene-many thanks for your time, effort, and devotion to making these for us.

Great video mate , what a lovely pooch, sorry she is no longer with us .

Love your videos Simon. You and Andy are my favorite. Don't ever stop!!

Aww poor Maggie. Although she looked at you with pure devotion and I can tell that you gave her a good life. I am slowly digging backwards you see. When you bond with an animal, you learn ways of communicating that isn't easy but, you create a special bond. that is all we can do for our animals. miss her as I am sure you do. she was a character in the videos.

”I thought I might just continue eating my way through this ration pack” 👌🏽

A man. His dog. A tent. And a 24 hour ration pack. Good times. Thanks for the video.

Couldn't sleep at 4am so rewatching some of your Vids Simon... I realised how much of my life I watch you eating 😂🙏... Brilliant

Cool video man. Thanks for taking us along with the winter camping trip. I enjoyed it.

The sound of the stove opening and trembling in the heat is magical...

I love the Lavvu. TYVM Simon.

After watching this .I want to put a basha up in the garden and get the hex I stove going .Love it .Cheers Simon .

30:20 He asks the dog “you’re alright?” and the dog answers 😂😂😂😂

Thank you so much Simon for showing the inside of your tent with your sleep system plus your gear. It 'truly' helps us determine whether there will be enough room for our uses should we decide to buy this tent or one very similar.

That MRE kit is awesome! This whole set up is pretty awesome actually. I've always wanted to camp in the snow with a hot tent. It looks really fun. I love camping and warm fire on a cold night.

an old ammo canister as a wood stove, brilliant 👍

Just a suggestion for your next winter camping, if possible it some pine or fir branches underneath for insulation, works great!

Just going back through all your old videos and this one had me laughing. Maggie bouncing around was really lovely to watch, but her snoring!!!

Wow what a beautiful soul you are sir . Stumbled upon this video but feel more like guided by angels . Thank you for being you and so authentic n kind . God bless you

I don’t understand this obsession I have watching people camping out overnight in bad weather conditions but dammit, keep them coming! Also get yourself a carbon monoxide alarm for when using that stove my man.

Thank you so much for a great vid. No useless talking to pad it out.Loved it, I will be on the lookout for more. Thanks again. Rod

you looked like you really enjoyed that. so did we thanks good skills by the way 😃

This should have been titled "Watch Simon eat a 24 hour ration pack in 12 minutes!"

Awesome video! When I was younger my brother and I did a lot of winter backpacking in snow. We really enjoyed it because we usually had the parks to ourselves. Love these videos, please keep them coming.

14:53- absolutely beautiful the way the clouds came in and covered out the sunlight.

Dogs are just the most amazing critters "Oh hey dad, we're in a tent in the snow, not doin' nuffin'. That's great. I love being with you. I'll just sleep till you need me, kay?"

a great experience for both of you!

As ever, great stuff, Simon! Thanks so much for bringing us all along.

A snoring dog is a truly comfortable doggo.

I really ENJOYED watching your vlog so interesting

Enjoyed every minute of That and it's 3am. The coffee reaction was brilliant.

Such a cool set up! That bow saw is terrific! I cracked up when the eating started and kept going! 😂🤣😂 Great appetite you!

Belissimo video very Limpo,organizado,inteligente 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾😄🏕🇧🇷👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👋🏿

I think that was fantastic. You looked do cozy in the tent and the wood stove must have been great. Your beautiful dog for company. Magic!

Love to try this camping in the snow overnight thing, keep it safe Simon, blessings from usa

I Googled the tent to see where I might get one..!!! That's a great piece of handiwork...the stove is also a fine piece of craftsmanship. Great stuff..

Ah, A Awesome Video again, Simon. I really enjoyed it and see'n Maggie🐶out & About with you too. Thanks for your video's🎥so much.

Great video. Love the 50. cal ammo can wood stove. I need to make myself one

Wonderful memorial to a very beautiful lady.

Just rewatched, love this one pal, say hi to the pooch for me.

great video.... i really enjoyed every minute! greetings from cologne, germany arthur

Excellent vid,spent a few years in the uk military and went through many a ration pack but the Canadian one’s when I was out there training in deep snow tasted so good!

Hopefully more hot tenting this year. Love the tent mods! Best on YT!

Hello Simon, love to see new inputs... the handling with the saw for tiny diameter branches, a lavu with sown-in flloor sheat, rhe stove with enough capacity to make a meal & last but not least: down to earth fact finding comments without personal 'whining' . Thos last mentioned is too often in US / Canadian vids. Stay healthy and thanks plus greetings from Holland.

You take care too Simon, and stay safe.

I thoroughly enjoy your adventures....I am a 73 year old antique little girl..;;;I have had health issues that limit my abilities......therefore I get to enjoy your outdoor adventures with Maggie....I think I will try some of your suggestions with my little Sweet Pea.....life can se fun...even at 73

That’s a good dog you have there!!! Great to see she was on the team

I like the vertical saw action (thinking outside the box)

Great vid Matey. I though of pitching Friday evening in the Lavvu and cried off !!! Good thing as we woke up on Sat morning to 7 foot snow drifts. The Beast from the East hit us hard. Local farmer came to dig us out on Sunday !! Take care Bud.

Thoroughly enjoyable! I miss tent camping.

Absolutely love what you do. Especially the collaboration with Andy (Kent Survival) great stuff.

Very nice camping in snow .it looks so cozy and beautiful.

Great video mate! Love Maggie, she's beautiful! The beast from the east.. The media.. Lol.. Australia saw the "Arctic Blast" back in July 2015.. The most snow in 30 to 50 years for allot of places though Australia. Including Stanthorpe, I was 100km from there at the time.. It was the talk of the region! There was a rush on warm clothes and blankets, heaters.. All sorts. It's keeping warm while camping through winter, is one the greatest challenges faced. Australia's no exception. An edit:- a year later, the "Antarctic Blast".. Lol

Thankyou Simon and Maggie - most enjoyable

Hot camping and beating winter at her own game. Priceless. Cheer Simon! Skillet

Always looking for ideas to stay warm and be outside. But hey I am from the state of Minnesota, United States. The states of Minnesota and North Dakota get so exceptionally cold in winter, that they place just behind Alaska. Like the tent and stove! I spend two weeks outside in winter every year but it can be expensive the way I do it. I appreciate the budget camping!!

In our old C-rations we used to get big packets of cocoa. I have never found civilian equivalents. Mixed it with coffee sometimes, mostly not. Good stuff!

Wow 😃.. I enjoyed every minute .. thanks .

I have found them very comfortable. Its great to be able to rotate the cover to control drafts & smoke from the fire & to peel the top cover back & let the sun in too. The floor is very comfortable once covered with rushes & sheepskins.

thanks man i enjoyed alot! so fun to watch 'n listen to wat u sayin! ive got polish poncho tent too so i'll try somthn similar as u. but i cant stitches soz start from gettin ground sheat or so aye!

Looked like a great time Simon. ATB

I love, love, love, the ammo can stove of yours Simon! Brilliant!

Enjoyed the vid, it was very practical and educational. I almost felt as if i was also present. Considering im in the east and its Winter temp is negative 27 F but feels like 23 F degrees. Thank you for sharing.

Outstanding camp and set up! Looked like a great time.

brilliant, a fellow lavvu lover - subscribed.

I love this video. Great time in the woods Simon and pal..

Wonderful video and you are also a respectable person

The Polish Army gets nice tents. I wonder what other nice stuff they get. My dad was in the British Army. Our stuff seemed quite rubbish compared to USA, Germany et al. Laughed out loud at your reactions. Well it is late, past midnight. You just seem naturally funny 😄 Thanks for letting me live vicariously in a tent in the middle of winter whilst I’m as snug as a bug in a rug in my bed.

Great video Simon, loved it and good to see the lavvu out :) plus an added ration review ;) ATB - Andy

I have never seen such a fantastic journey with the little dog you guys are doing great job literally i like snow very much i hope to watch your every video in snow like this It seems good it feels like in actual with me...

Maggie is very nervous. Please comfort her. Hugs . Thanks for this video. Very nice.

Glad to see you didn't give any of the rat-pack contents to Maggie, that might have been considered cruelty to animals!! :)

Much love! from USA

That is a brilliant idea of using the saw to cut the small kindling...👍🔥

Great video man. So glad I clicked into this video. I wish I had snowy places to camp

Love the technique of moving the wood on the saw. Crowe

Simon - I really enjoyed your video. Good job mate.

Thanks Simon, I thoroughly enjoyed that!

Nice show and beautiful dog! Thanks. TII

Simon awesome video and outing, loads of room in that tent. I am hoping to get an Arctic 5 Man Bell tent as my prospector Tent is large for one or two guys and does eat wood in our winter conditions. The setup of yours is awesome. I leave a small sleigh at the tent now for hauling wood around during the day, makes it so much easier. Maggie looks like she enjoyed herself. I bought an ammo can and was going to make a stove with it but realized for our winters it would be fruitless in all reality. I have a new Kni-co that I need to burn in and use yet but waiting for the tent. I may build a small collapsible stove yet this summer. Awesome video once again. Cheers Fred

Maggie snoring.....perfect shot for what I assume was a warm, soul-soothing and peaceful evening.

Keeping active, hydrated and with plentiful hot food is a big part of maintaining as much comfort in body and mind as possible when camping outdoors in inclement weather. Impressed that such a small stove produced so much heat, albeit with a large stockpile of prepared wood. Well done.

Nice!I think I missed this one, a pleasure to watch as usual!

my friend that is good ! Please never stop making this kind of videos Keep up the great work 👌🏻

Simon, enjoyed your video. Just a thought for you. I was sationed in Germany with the U.S. Army when we changed from "C" rations to MREs. We would heat water like you did and heat the pouches in that water. Then use the hot water for coffee, we Yanks don't drink much tea, and it was a way to conserve water. We did this for quite a while before the Army informed us that wasn't a good idea. Seems the boiling water leached some rather harmful chemicals out of the plastic pouches. Didn't kill me but I thought you should know. I think the plastic used for the pouches has been changed since, I certainly hope so. You might want to check on your rations. It was during that time in my Army career that I also perfected the one canteen cup shave, shower, and shampoo. Order is important here. Be well.

Right good video. I’m extremely impressed with your tent! I’ll be looking for one soon...thank you for reviewing it. I’d say the survival meal is a great bit of kit!

Maggie is proof positive that everything tastes better in the woods...nice mods on that Lavvu!...awesome video Simon...atb...woods

That polish lavvu modified is super !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Your dog is so beautiful!!! and the camping in a snow place to!!! I like your videos a lot!!!

Really enjoyed that vid made me wish I was in the tent next to you. Amazed you managed to keep so warm but made me sleepy and very envious of curling up in my sb and waking up to a fresh new day ! 👍🌅🌄

Made out of an ammo can. Brilliant.

When a 24hr ration pack becomes a 4hr ration pack 😂 Great video. Looked so relaxing and cosy in that tent. Just bought a hot tent myself 👍

Fixing to winter the hole Mississippi winter in a tent. So really enjoyed your video. Gave me a few ideas. I spent 14 yrs in Alaska so wintering here should not be undoable. 😊 Thanks again for your video. Nice job friend. 😊😊😊😉🙂☺️

Enjoyable as ever....am a lavvu user (with A frame outside, as I'm a big bugger!) and the 24 hr ration boxes!!

Maggie is so cute!

thank you for this video

Love to watch the fire. It feels warm and calm in winter or night

Great video, Very enjoyable watching.

Nice.
