#LivingInATent
I see a lot of people on TH-cam doing different things and I've got to say I think you are the real thing man I am 77 years old and grew up living like you are spent several full winters in a tent keep it up I can smell the coffee and the food cooking.
Awesome thank you! 👍👍
Ive just bought a military 10 man heavy duty tent at the weekend cannot wait to use it
You will have great fun, let me now how you get on 👍👍👍👍
i been living in tents for almost ten years on and off around the world from south america to sweden never had on so nice .keep safe
Fugazi 😎
Hey pelle, you’re living the dream my friend, where will your travels be taking you next"
@pellelindbergh whats it like living in tents i wanna live in tents full time and build a little one man shed style pallet wood hut then connect the two also how did you get food did you or do you need a job also are tents beeter than huts cus i prefer huts so if i connect the two ill get best of both worlds 😊
@@iamtheoverlordofu554 well it depend were you are ,if you on the move or staying in one place ,on someone land or unmark land .i had jobs in south america and i camp on the land i was working so that was okay ,but there were times i camp when i did,nt have a job ,or so little money that i had to dumpster dive for food which was nice in Sweden but not so well in south america . i know people who build a hut one with a dome and one with a flat roof they are much better than a tents ,because of the weather .alone .i sleep in my tent in sweden ,when the temp drop down to minus -18 .but a hut you can build yourself a fireplace or buy a cheap wood stove .in the winter i had troubles with mice trying to get in and eating holes in my tents.im in madison wi right now living in my tent,until i go on my long walk sometime next year.unless you growing your own food you have to buy it but .you don't need alot of it .rice pasta peanut butter is the food for people with little or no money not sure where you are there there food banks or near towns or what ,but you seem to be doing well
@@pellelindbergh4455 what where the domes made of also i would probs live in tent while building hut😊
Got to say, as a renter, with a moderate income, the idea of making the break and going for a solo lifestyle is so appealing. Great video, top insight, inspiring stuff my friend. What a life, maybe we all need to realise that less is more in this world. Stop chasing things, eat, sleep, grow your own and keep warm......liberating times!
Totally agree! 👍👍
Fantastic set up.
Must be a great feeling knowing you can escape this crazy world at the moment.
Enjoy
I'm just kidding, I do not see Becky's vlog now? Nice to see Buster.
Absolutely agree
We're all gonna wish we could escape this world..they are using this virus for the new world order something bigger is coming to this world to the likes we can't even comprehend
I guess Im asking the wrong place but does anyone know of a trick to get back into an Instagram account??
I stupidly lost the login password. I would appreciate any tips you can offer me.
@Ernest Jonathan Instablaster ;)
Had the exact same tent ...lots of room and well made. Mine lasted about 3 years in the sun. M1945 MULTIFUEL stove. Used these in US Army for winter warfare training
Can you still but the stove ? 👍👍
What is this tent called and is it still available to buy?
When will we realize that we are just visiting. Everything is temporary!
You are right .. discover Islam
@@maheralsh1881
That is temporary as well...
Good man! I've done the same and bugged out into my woodland camp
Spent the past 3 days back and fourth with kit and enough food to last till August.
Family's in isolation and joining me in 2 days.
Good to know someone else has got the intelligence to do the same. Guna get real bad over the next few months.
Good luck, take care and God bless bro
Yes it is...hard for a 50year old woman to start in the bushcraft life..but necessary beginning in fall i fear
Over covid? Smh some of us aren't scared to live our lives. Stop questioning the intelligence of others just to make yourself feel special and different. You don't need to do all of that to avoid covid just have common sense. Lol
Are you feeling stupid now? The world didn’t end.
That is the propper way of doing quarantine 👍 The camp is looking great. Greetings from the freezing Iceland
Dogs generally are not a lot of help when setting up tents
No, but they are excellent bed warmers on cold nights,
Great company tho
Finally the real tips and tricks reality
Dogs r generally chiefs, bed warmers, supervisor, tasters, farting n tents n bff
You can see the smile growing along with the time spent outdoors. good spirit mate. peace
Cheers mate 👍👍
Love the tent !
I’m looking at getting the ten man with liner and the 5 man with liner
Have a fella in Oklahoma with them and the heaters that go with them incase we get real cold :)
God bless you mate
And angels be with you always
Right on 👍👍
Setting off to the Cape west coast in SA in a week, trying some tent living for the first time in a long time, here's hoping I can get set up nicely like this.
Sounds great, you will love it 👍👍
Excellent setup! I'm never happier than when I'm living in my tent.
I camped in a big 8 man canvas tent with a floor as a kid (sooo heavy!) and have been in the US military for 34 years. To me, I've always loved the musty smell of a canvas tent. Not very practical for weekend getaways, but for what you're doing it's perfect.
When i was a kid my dad had a US military surplus tent from Korean war ,the thing was huge and heavy and definitely remember the smell
That must be a British tent used during the 1950's thru the 1970's. I slept in a tent for one night at Little Rock AFB, Arkansas while in the military and we had to keep our firearm (M-16 rifle) where it could not be stolen and mine was in bed with me. We ate a hot meal brought in warm and served to us and I thought we would have to eat MRE's instead, but was glad we didn't have to since they aren't the greatest. We had two people per tent and that was nice.
Why was in british tent with a American assault riflr
pick up a 3 way fridge, runs on 110v, 240v and gas. Ive got one and take it fishing when im away for long trips. They are a great bit of kit mate. 4k gas bottle will last weeks.
This series really inspires me to pack up and leave my consumer life behind. It's a shame many "normal" people don't have a love for this kind of living anymore. But I suppose it's due to circumstances and commitments. Great videos. 👍👍👍😃
You can do it! 👍👍
Wow big tent. A waterproof floor covering will help with moisture limiting in the living area. It may well help control the condensation. Good luck with your project.
Another GREAT series begins! The video scenes are evocative and engaging. THANKS TO ALL OF YOUR FAMILY for taking on the challenge of a long-term stay. Active outdoors people always have/need projects. Human nature is to 'tweak' things to our liking. In my time outdoors, one of my priorities was to build frames for shelters that allowed me to eliminate ropes. We each have our 'druthers.'
I always tarp the floor to keep the radon gas for coming up from the ground, and also found it keeps the moisture out and it stays dry in the tent !
@James Brown Remember how T P's we're set up with a 4 inch gap at the bottom to allow air flow through the top of the T P ?
he has a golden to protect him
Brilliant, I couldn't think of anywhere better to be. Great set up
Wonderful uncle..you and your two daughters doing great work, embracing nature.
Thank you so much 👍👍
After sleeping many a frozen night in a two man tent, a GP small (which you have) was like moving into a condo, it even had a heater, what luxury! No, I do not miss those Bad ol Days!
I lived 15 months, including two winters in northern Montana, in a GP Small 10 man squad tent. I had a 58 gallon barrel stove. I burned 5 1/2 cords of pine over that time and it was very comfortable. I bought the GP Small over the "arctic 10 man tent because I wanted the 6 foot sidewalls so I could stand up anywhere inside. Total price wihtout the poles was $475
Sounds good👍👍
@@BushwackerMan Did you get the winter liner for that tent? It makes a big difference in how warm it stays
Great tent and your camp is looking amazing. You're definitely doing the things. I remember going camping as a young man with my father, he had a similar OD green military style tent. Brings back memories. Thank you for sharing.
The first 5 months hubby and lived in an old officers army tent ( through winter ) we had the best 5 months of our 22+years together lol. We still refer that to the good times ! Enjoy your tent home and blessings to you all
Thanks for your comment, doing things like this certainly makes some great memories 👍
You looked so happy , made me happy . Thanks for sharing
The best tent I have ever been in was a medical tent in Guantanamo Bay Cuba, it had air conditioning!
mwillblade
Leeward or Windward side? I was on Windward in “88.
mwillblade Cool. I guess the downside would have been the waterboarding right after breakfast each day, huh? 🤔 I suppose you can't have everything in life perfectly the way you want it.
A little labour-saving tip for chopping firewood ?
Use a small car tyre laid on your stump to contain the logs while chopping ... so they don't fall onto the damp floor, as each bend-over threatens your ageing back (haha)
Take care and enjoy the self-reliance experiences !
Good tip, thanks👍
Getting pretty handy with a bit of timber Dean mate!
Hope Mrs Bushwhacker will be uploading some good tips on the minimal cooking...think many are going to need it soon
Your camp looks SUBSTANTIAL...! GOOD JOB!! 😃👍👣
You never ever cease to amaze or impress me my friend. What a Great video and Great timing. The knowledge Ive witnessed yourself and your family gain and share is endless and Top Notch. I will never want for a Scotch Egg in this time of Crisis because of you my friend. Thank you and you all including Buster stay safe my friend. Big E and Cash
brilliant set up looks proper cozy
Thank-you for the upload, love Camping, have not gone camping in years. That Tent is very spacious inside. Cosy. Take care and keep safe. Love your dog she is beautiful
Thanks for watching!
Great camp setup! I am envious! This makes me want to order a tent a do a setup myself! While in the military I used many a GP Small and GP Medium canvas army tent. They were great tents and I may have to purchase a GP Small for myself one day. Your tent looks like a very nice tent though and I will check them out online for sure. Enjoy your time and your family and stay safe my friend! God Bless!
Just want to say that that tent is something of a matter, it might be heavy, but it is also delicious. Would think that there you could live forever if you can keep food on the table. Also, there's just that hammer, it's bigger than the one you hit. 😁 It's going to be an amazing series, I can already feel it.
This is going to be a great series !!!!
Nice camp Dean, its starting to look good and everything is easy to remove nothing permanent like your other camp, except your lean to. You can alternate how you want to use it as and when you want. You should of brought a few ration packs with you as well. Take care and enjoy your camp.
Long-term. Dude you got the right idea at the current moment.
Well your back out long turm living the dream mate you have got the life mate enjoy atvb jimmy 😎😎
Nice to see a happy smiling face well done Bushwacker Man great video.
OH Yes! More B's than you can shake a stick at! 4 Bushwackers , Buster and now Mr Blackbird. Great being made to do what you love doing.😀
It’s a Squad Tent. Perfect for you, your significant other, and a mans best friend!
OMG I’ve spent so much time in these tents myself. Both in hot and arctic environments, and while the lining is available,
I’ve never found the compelling need in spite of -20 to 30 degree (F), with a stove you’ll find it so warn that you will “open the flap”
And let some cool air in👍🏻🤷🏽♂️❗️
Yes it a great tent, I love it👍
LOVE YOUR SET UP HERMANO, GRACIAS FOR SHARING BLESSINGS, BENDICION!!!!!!!!!
🙏💞👍
So nice of you 👍👍
NICE SET UP
LOVE YOUR DOG
What a wonderful life to live how could you not like this life?
THANK YOU!!!JUST SUBBED!Excellent Video!!
Thanks for the sub!
Super, two episodes, both out, something good to watch, cheers.
Thats a hell of a setup.. thanks for sharing..🇺🇸🤠
I could easily live in that tent, nicely done!
Great location and fantastic set up, live the dream my friend best wishes from Wales
Glad you enjoyed it
Or a stealth rv, ? mine's for sale 4k disabled, dwp illegally stopped payments, so can't afford to keep camper,i bought it last year (2019) because i knew what was coming, not just for me but globally, literally hell on earth,seems il be living in a tent till death, im partially military trained but my age and health is a big hindrance, il keep soldering on,cheers for this 👍
Thanks for your message. Good luck and stay safe👍👍
yeah you do need a liner it was white but you will still have a bit of condensation other thing that you might want is to reinforce your center pull by putting it into the ground by about 2 inches
will look into getting a liner in the future 👍
Hello mate hope doing well
Is this new or used tent ?
This tent is better or 5m bell tent ?
Its a grade A from army surplus. Its a great tent for long term living 👍👍
Nice camp .
Thanks 👍
Good way to wait out the weirdness - best wishes.
The condensation is an issue. I have, in smaller tents, used a solar charger, a motorcycle battery tapped at the six volt strap, and a four-inch (100mm?) computer case fan inside one of the top vents-worked a treat, charge all day, pull out condensation all night.
I have recently bought a lightweight version of the 10-man arctic tent. Yet to use it but looking forward to it. My mates are skitting me about putting it up on my own. That’ll be fun.
If you take your time it wont be a problem 👍👍
@@BushwackerMan Great advice. Hopefully it’ll not be torrential while I’m wrestling with the thing.
@@daveys Good luck
@@daveyswatched all your shop videos on uour playlist and loved it 😂
Hey young-one, try to get a caravan fridge it works on Gas or Electric my friend got one inside is the cabin
great watch, love the freedom of the outdoors
Got the same tent with the liner, great in the snow best wishes . Dave chubb
I have just bought a 10 man British Army Arctic Bell...but i am struggling to get the canvas as tight as you've got it. Have you any tips?
try upgrading the pegs and apply more tension to the guy lines when the canvas is wet. good luck, Dean
that is a sweet camp
Wish i were there bloody beautiful mate good on ya very smart man you go
What about painting a tent to help keep it warm or cool inside?
Hello my friend. You need the liner for the inside. I lived in one with the liner and it makes a world of difference.
Hey brother I have spent three months living in the GP tiny just above the artic circle in the US Army and a few nights under a tree with no heating have fun
Thanks for your comment 👍
I'm not able to get out to the woods, we're having to work.. If it wasn't for my job, I'd be out enjoying myself.. I love your videos, very nice setup!
Cheers!
@Bushwacker Man what is your new tent and where did you buy it and can you link it please.

@@BushwackerMan thank you ^_^
Is your plan to try and leave the camp to restock food? Can you edit and upload video's from the camp?
Looking forward to this little series! Keep up the good work.
WOW, you've joined the lifestyle, good on you, we have been doing the very same thing/similar for the last 3 year's, nothing beats forest camping and especially long term, drive in and not drive out for a month or more. Finally catching up on your video series, watching this one makes us wish we were in the bush at the moment, unfortunately the recent rain has left our bush areas very wet and boggy. Also just wondering whether you have a specific method for covering your tracks (vehicle and foot tracks) on the way into camp and whether you could cover any tips or ideas you have or would use in this case scenario in a video. Thanks for sharing your awesome videos 😊
Thanks for your comment. We are on private land that is gated.👍
@@BushwackerMan That's awesome, we know it is much harder in the UK to bush camp on public land. With private land you don't have to worry about anyone else venturing into your campsite. Looks like you are enjoying your long term camping, once you start it is very hard to go back to the main drag, have been there many times ❤
Why have you got the tents skirts flapped out like that? Unless you are drying them off?
They should be tucked under the groundsheet to keep the tent nice and cosy.
It gives the tent more support in high winds 👍👍
Bushwacker Man - I’ve got one of those tents, and I always tuck then skirt under the tarp and then use heavy tent spikes to hold the skirt down. It makes it slightly more difficult to roll them up if it’s hot, but the inside is much snugger, and keeps most of the bugs out.
Each to his own. I think those tents are awesome, I’ve just bought a new wood stove oven for mine.
Enjoyed the video, and the food like Buster, well done we all look forward to the better weather, its a very good setup my best wishes. P
Awesome. I would definitely try and snag me at least a 10 mil or better pond liner for a footprint and the canvas liner over that. You will be snug as a bug in a rug. Awesome set up. The Bakers tent is dwarfed by the shelter.
Is this your plan for the corona virus be interesting to hear your thoughts about it and what your plans and food supply ect is
Lee J Squirrels or chicken of the trees
Fishing?? Growing veggies?
COMMON SENSE
@Demon Slayer .. fishing is plentiful locally, I highly doubt 300 miles of shoreline will be patrolled constantly day and night...in addition to hundreds of lagoons ..many fishing piers, etc.. literally no problem unless water is poisoned.....veggies..well unless it's coconuts from palms that line the keys...then must grow them
You might also ‘after you have the sharp object out of the tire] look into ‘Slime Tire Repair/Sealant’ or whatever the U.K. equivalent is. That and a bicycle pump should last several seasons.
If he's gonna get a bike pump anyway then he might as well get a bike puncture repair kit which will have a little piece of sandpaper (to roughen up the tyre for better adhesiveness) and vulcanising glue with rubber patches.
How can you set up such a long term camp, is it your land?
Its a friends land👍
So are you self isolating now ? No better way and you have a good setup. What about power do you have solar ?
Hey mate you just keep these coming cant wait for next one.
It ain’t no tent Sr, that’s a MANSION!... nice!
Hope your safe and well I am off soon trying to find one all the best rob
Great idea just get away from it all worth it when it's all set up relaxing by the fire .where would you buy such a tent
www.anchorsupplies.com/tents/10-man-arctic-bell.html 👍
Thanks
hello just found your channel..I love to watch bushcraft channels..I am not able to go out in woods so I do enjoy watching others. thank you and can't wait to see more of your videos...
Got mortar and pestle?
Why not plan on making a pesto from nettles and wild onions after things green up? The addition of hazelnuts could wait until after they ripen. Nice side dish to spit-roasted hare.
;-)
hey mate, great set up! How on Earth do you manage to hget so much space in the woods where you can stay longterm like that. You soudn British and as far as I know, apart from Scandinavia, you can not stay in a tent on land anywhere in Europe. How did you do that!??!?! Hope ou can have some great times there. Lovely also for teh dog to be out like that! WOnderful!
Its not a problem on private land 👍👍
Nice one all the best be safe
Hello can you add a link or name of where you got this shelter? Thanks
I got mine from Anchor Supplies, here is the link bit.ly/3AfpZda
Looks great that camp site
This is really good
Thanks for watching👍
Lovely set up
Great tent. Only drawback is the one mosquito you didn't get before you went to sleep.
Excellent set up!
Hello young-one, where do you got that tent l fancy one myself to camp somewhere nice with my brother and bushcraft friend,
Amazing place, mate! Hugs from Brazil!
Do you own the land you are staying on? I mean i guess you do. Im thinking about making myself homeless and camping around England for a year or 2, everyone keeps saying it impossible, as i have been thinking about it for years now, but after this whole virus thing i am thinking about saving and actually doing it! May well post it all to youtube so everyone can see my fails and beautiful views. I have the whole where to stay thing planned, and maybe places to stay and do some work sometimes. :)
Seams to me you brought a lot more gear then needed. A extra stove when you have a stove heater. I would love to do the same thing now that we're in a shelter in place. I didn't see any fishing gear is there a river or lake near by. Also the fog is great company. Can't wait for chapter two.
shelter in place you mean your locked down as are we
Excellent outdoor life! could you tell me the lowest height of the walls of the bell tent please? Looking at one for a forest school! Thank you!😄
Around 3ft 👍👍
Looks great.
Thanks!👍
