I like the road noise as it makes me feel like I’m right there with ya having a Wee ration pack. We jjst love hanging with ya doesn’t matter where or how long sir
It is perhaps just me.....I always find I'm saying to the laptop I watch Simon's videos on, as Simon walks or drives away..."you've forgotten your camera!!"..... So good to see your hard work in practice. Always inspiring. Thanks Simon.
You sir are a legend when I was recovering from a major heart attack in hospital I used to watch your videos and they were so uplifting ♥ god bless you and your family 👪
You definitely have the space in your Land Rover figured out. So compact and practical. How fun to have put this together. Always making it your own is the key. Thank you for your wonderfully entertaining videos Simon. Keep up the fine work. With love and respect from Minnesota, USA❤️
Just got round to watching. Top video Simon! Love the conversion you’ve done to it. Still working on mine but got distracted. Back to it soon hopefully! 😆
Very nice simple set up there Simon. My grandparents converted an H plate 1970 long wheel base 2 birth Landy with a capstan winch in which they toured around in. Shipped it to South Africa and America, drove to Morocco and North Capp. Loved it as a kid, was fascinated by the levers and loved the blue diesel light! They were living the van life in the 70’s😂
Amazing how you have converted the Land Rover looks better equipped than some caravans 🤣. Very entertaining for us and that place is so picturesque. A great watch who needs TV?
This is one of my favorite Simon videos. Have watched it several times over. Love to see what's in the ration packs. Snug as a bug in a rug in the Landy by the mill pond.
A great idea for sure. It would certainly save me some space in my little Vauxhall Combo van BUT,,, where would I fix it up to that’s going to be strong enough 🤔🤔
Being from Minnesota, I enjoy watching your videos and experience the UK from your eyes. Once in awhile, you provide clues on your location or show us on the map. I’m happy to say, I found the road park that you enjoyed your stealth evening. Thanks for bring us along. Skillet
I love this stealthy unit you have built. It's perfect for just what you're doing. Travel light, travel fast. I wish you could bring it to north America. This would do well in the states and Canada.
What?? You question the excellence of the Palace of the Nine Virtues the magnificent Travelodge? Next you’ll be doubting the apogee of culinary excellence The Little Chef. Hang on I’ve a feeling the nettles I picked for my tea might have been more exotic.
Simon why not think about making your own power oak station.Would be a good watch like all your other videos .All your stuff is amazing and very addictive. Keep up the good work .
That is better than most hotels. The magnets for the cups is a class idea. So simple and the hammock... I never would have guessed you were about to whip out a hammock 😄 Fair play again Simon, fantastic video as usual. All the best 👍 Jason
Simon, you always have the best music of late. The banjo and country swing is just top notch, makes me appreciate your videos all the more. Good to close the curtains as you don’t want traffic getting a reflection of that marvelous chrome dome if you remove your hat. Texas
I've loved this set up from when you first posted your "Off Grid Adventure Wagon" video a year ago. And you've only made it better. The crowning glory however is the canoe paddle shifter knob! Love it! I wish they sold these old Defenders where I live in Canada. You can order them in from out of country by some specialist dealers but they cost a small fortune. Thanks for another great video Simon. ATB from Nova Scotia 🇨🇦 - Darby
Hats off to the versatility and ingenuity you pit on display with this rover build. Its an absolute treat to see it in use and all the little improvements along the way. Keep up the awesome adventures and thanks as always for sharing in the experience! Take care and be well.
The Simple Things in Life Are the Best! A vehicle that one can work on and maintain. A dinner from a bag. Dry warm shelter for the night. A cup of not chocolate( like mine thick also) before bed. A cup of Java in the early Am. The Scenery! Fantastic. Thank You Simon Again!
Simon, well done on showing off the Rover. Thats a Working Man's DIY camping rig. All the luxuries without the huge price tag. Beautiful, because form follows function.
I like the Land Rover conversion, no blingy stuff, just simple and practical. And I can't wait to learn what U and Andy are up to on the next adventure 😀👍
Thanks Simon👌 A simple overnighter gets the serotonin flowing here (let alone you!)😎 Safe journey and I look forward to the two perspectives of your jaunt with Andy @kentsurvival👏
Yaay! A much anticipated camp with the Land-rover! I enjoyed this very much. Looks like such a great way to camp for a change of pace. Glad you & Andy can get together for camp! Look forward to it.
SPLENDID. The conversion is even more complete. You demonstrate that a homeless person with a pension could live comfortably. At the START of the video, it was more: SIMON BLOKE ON THE MOTORWAY.😊 You and Andy can compare setups! Looking forward to it.
I can just see you inadvertently having “stealth camped” in the local dogging hotspot and it turning into an amateur filmmakers symposium… the curtains on the Defender must have done some twitching!!! 😂 Ecstatic screams of “Oh Boi” filled the night sky as Simon kindly whipped out the hot chocolate… 🤣🤣🤣
I can’t speak for Oh Boy’s properties as an aphrodisiac but I’m told the best thing to do is just dim the lights, pour hot chocolate and ahem give it to her. She should be singing “I believe in miracles” in no time at all… 😂
When I saw the canal boats, I thought you'd parked by a canal ( I live on a canalboat, so instantly interested.) But the river is so gorgeous .What a beautiful spot for a stealth camp. I bet it makes such a difference to your comfort having a sink. It's looking really cozy the Landrover with everything you need close to hand.
While it may not look luxurious, your conversion looks exceptionally functional! But that is no surprise from A Bloke in the Woods! Also happy to hear you're meeting up with Andy. Will look forward to that video if you are filming it!. Stay safe and Healthy Simon. Cheers!
Excellent stuff Simon 👍🏻 Great to see the Landrover out and about plus all the modifications that you’ve done, great set up and looks like it works well, plus the luxury of the diesel heater just to take the chill off you in the morning 👍🏻🚐 superb 👌🏻
Hi Simon, 😊 that looks ok to me mate, it's got all your basic needs, apart from a loo,lol. And the rat pack didn't look too bad either, thanks for taking us along, I'm looking forward to the next one, stay safe mate, best wishe's to you and your's, Stuart uk.
I love the hammock setup like that, I am going to look in to doing the same in the back of my transit custom. Got a rocknroll bed in already, but would be great to have this extra option in as well
I think you have done a fantastic job making the landy into a comfortable living space. Camping with comfort 👍👍👍. I’d always thought of Northamptonshire as a bit of an uninspiring county but the spot you stayed at looks beautiful. 😊👍😊
Out doggin again nope think not!. Only joking Simon great location with peaceful scenery as you said shame about traffic noise good to see Kent survival on board with a comment
Awesome set up, Simon! Very functional and cozy, will have to go back over your conversion videos and take some notes to implement those bright ideas into our toyota previa. Thanks for sharing your stealth camp with us!
New sub. great to see the hammock in use! I do not have a bed at home, after a mouse infestation ate the darn thing, and have slept in a hammock for over 10 years. When i had a Lysander (19foot sailboat) I used the traditional sleeping arrangement, far better and more comfortable than a solid bed, and you never get thrown out when a boats wash throws you about!
Reminds me on the rare occasion I have to have a night out in the truck in work. No sink or shelves but I do have a night heater.. the rest is what I would carry in a rucksack. Happy days 🇬🇧🤘🚚
Simon - Give yourself a break. Great video even with a little traffic. Noticed it more because you kept bringing it up. You were camping right next to a busy road ...
Camping with Simon is like a luxury version of Camping with Steve!
Without the step 2 😂
😂😂
Hahahah oh my gosh and I’m hooked on both God bless ‘em
I like the road noise as it makes me feel like I’m right there with ya having a Wee ration pack. We jjst love hanging with ya doesn’t matter where or how long sir
It is perhaps just me.....I always find I'm saying to the laptop I watch Simon's videos on, as Simon walks or drives away..."you've forgotten your camera!!"..... So good to see your hard work in practice. Always inspiring. Thanks Simon.
You sir are a legend when I was recovering from a major heart attack in hospital I used to watch your videos and they were so uplifting ♥ god bless you and your family 👪
You've picked the perfect vehicle for rural stealth camping! Just another old land rover......blends right in! 😁 Very cosy and comfy too.
You definitely have the space in your Land Rover figured out. So compact and practical. How fun to have put this together. Always making it your own is the key. Thank you for your wonderfully entertaining videos Simon. Keep up the fine work. With love and respect from Minnesota, USA❤️
Just got round to watching. Top video Simon! Love the conversion you’ve done to it. Still working on mine but got distracted. Back to it soon hopefully! 😆
Only just found your channel. Thanks to Kent survival. You've got a nice little set up. I'll watch the conversion videos over the weekend.👍👍👍. Cheers.
Very nice simple set up there Simon. My grandparents converted an H plate 1970 long wheel base 2 birth Landy with a capstan winch in which they toured around in.

Nice! Great memories 😁
This guy knows how to live in the wild , that’s for sure ❤
Amazing how you have converted the Land Rover looks better equipped than some caravans 🤣. Very entertaining for us and that place is so picturesque. A great watch who needs TV?
This is one of my favorite Simon videos. Have watched it several times over. Love to see what's in the ration packs. Snug as a bug in a rug in the Landy by the mill pond.
The hammock is a great solution to the space problem
Never would have thought of it
A great idea for sure. It would certainly save me some space in my little Vauxhall Combo van BUT,,, where would I fix it up to that’s going to be strong enough 🤔🤔
Excellent area, came along way with the Range Rover, well done!..ATB
Hammock and a converted Landy!
How to make a man jealous!!
Great setup.
Now you have everything...including the kitchen sink. Fantastic video mate. Cheers.
Being from Minnesota, I enjoy watching your videos and experience the UK from your eyes. Once in awhile, you provide clues on your location or show us on the map. I’m happy to say, I found the road park that you enjoyed your stealth evening. Thanks for bring us along. Skillet

That’s the coolest stealth camper ever! Love it! Driving on the left side of the road freaked me out though!
Top job Simon! Love it, hammock, dog bowl, magnets all genius touches. 😎
De France. Merci Simon pour ces sympathiques vidéos.
Merci!
Great idea for the sink and the water
Simon you're the man......keep on enjoying life.
I'm not a car person but that conversion is fabulous 😍
The dog bowl as a sink is an ingenious idea
Cool hammock setup - easy pack away when not needed.
Really enjoyed this video. yeah, more of these countryside's are brilliant. Cheers.
Bloody love your Land Rover Simon!
Watching this just makes me smile. The best kind of video.
Better than a Travelodge mate ;) haha
Don’t say he’s done a Bear Ghrylls!!! 🤣
What?? You question the excellence of the Palace of the Nine Virtues the magnificent Travelodge? Next you’ll be doubting the apogee of culinary excellence The Little Chef. Hang on I’ve a feeling the nettles I picked for my tea might have been more exotic.
Great video mate as always really like your land rover conversion is it’s 300 tdi or td5 ?
Looks like Home away from home to me Simon. Perfect way to travel and save lots of Money...lol. Great video!
Simon why not think about making your own power oak station.Would be a good watch like all your other videos .All your stuff is amazing and very addictive. Keep up the good work .
As far as "road noise", when you're sleeping, I've used ear plugs for over 35 years. They really do the trick, and cut you off from the outside world.
That is better than most hotels. The magnets for the cups is a class idea. So simple and the hammock... I never would have guessed you were about to whip out a hammock 😄 Fair play again Simon, fantastic video as usual. All the best 👍 Jason
Amusing seeing you emerge from the vehicle with a hot cup of coffee after doing a stealth overnight. Enjoyed the video !! Thanks.
My doorstep Simon! The wife kayaks from that very spot. Lovely place.
Awesome video like your converted stealthy Land Rover excellent workmanship on your land rover thanks for a fantastic video Simon.

Awesome buddy awesome.. love the land rover.. look forward to next vid .. cheers Chris & Sam
That swivel chair setup is great .. still toying with the idea of lowering my rear bulkhead and trying that. 👍
Thank you Simon. Love your set up and it’s simplicity.
Look forward to seeing more of your stealthy camping travels.
Awesome stealth camp! Really like the set up with the hammock and kitchen! Thanks for another great video!
I can only describe your Land Rover as bloody splendid!!
Simon, well done on showing off the Rover. Thats a Working Man's DIY camping rig. All the luxuries without the huge price tag. Beautiful, because form follows function.
Why on Earth would anyone give a thumbs down for this video?
❤️ finally!! I really like that hammock.
Great video as always. Love the commitment to the end shot -driving off and leaving the camera behind 😀
I like the Land Rover conversion, no blingy stuff, just simple and practical. And I can't wait to learn what U and Andy are up to on the next adventure 😀👍
Great video.👍👍👍 That’s one nice Land Rover . Great setup 👍👍👍
Thanks Simon👌 A simple overnighter gets the serotonin flowing here (let alone you!)😎 Safe journey and I look forward to the two perspectives of your jaunt with Andy @kentsurvival👏
Yaay! A much anticipated camp with the Land-rover! I enjoyed this very much. Looks like such a great way to camp for a change of pace. Glad you & Andy can get together for camp! Look forward to it.
You, Andy, and camp = likes :)
SPLENDID. The conversion is even more complete. You demonstrate that a homeless person with a pension could live comfortably. At the START of the video, it was more: SIMON BLOKE ON THE MOTORWAY.😊 You and Andy can compare setups! Looking forward to it.
Nothing beats a bed of your own.
ESPECIALLY if it's in the back of your rig.
Great set up. Happy travels.

Hahaha - that’d be a different kind of video! 🤣
Aha! Thought I’d seen that Tilly hat making an appearance elsewhere! 🤣
@@tomwilson6915 oh aye, what you been watching Tom 😂
Oh you know bud just the exotic ones you keep forwarding to me on WhatsApp from your Dan cave 😂
lovely. 10 minutes from my house :) great video
Good to see the Land Rover out and about simon 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Paddle shift gear knob Simon very apt 🛶👏👏👏👍 I love the fact you can get the hammock hooked inside 👏👌👍
Lovely little stop. So cool that you comfy in it.
What a lovely place to stop, and a fantastic conversion to the LR, i'd be very happy with a truck like that
Looks like the Landy is perfectly set up now! Great film, thanks for sharing. 🖖👍👊
What a fantastic set up! Everything you need right at hand, really enjoyed this one.
It's a treat to watch your videos after a long time. As always love your videos. Keep'em coming sir !!
The ration pack hot chocolate is off the scale tasty! 👍
Nice to see you again Simon.
When I saw the canal boats, I thought you'd parked by a canal ( I live on a canalboat, so instantly interested.) But the river is so gorgeous .What a beautiful spot for a stealth camp. I bet it makes such a difference to your comfort having a sink. It's looking really cozy the Landrover with everything you need close to hand.
Great job,the hammock is a game changer for the space you have,loving your adventures!
While it may not look luxurious, your conversion looks exceptionally functional! But that is no surprise from A Bloke in the Woods! Also happy to hear you're meeting up with Andy. Will look forward to that video if you are filming it!. Stay safe and Healthy Simon. Cheers!
Another great video. Thanks for sharing it with us.
Simon, a bloke in a Land Rover!👍 Great setup.
What a great build.
Excellent stuff Simon 👍🏻 Great to see the Landrover out and about plus all the modifications that you’ve done, great set up and looks like it works well, plus the luxury of the diesel heater just to take the chill off you in the morning 👍🏻🚐 superb 👌🏻
You have the Land Rover dialed in Simon,safe travels.
Hi Simon, 😊 that looks ok to me mate, it's got all your basic needs, apart from a loo,lol. And the rat pack didn't look too bad either, thanks for taking us along, I'm looking forward to the next one, stay safe mate, best wishe's to you and your's, Stuart uk.

That’s great Simon! Pity you couldn’t stealth camp a little bit further off the road! But a good addition to your modus operandi! Enjoy & take care!
I think you have done a fantastic job making the landy into a comfortable living space. Camping with comfort 👍👍👍.
I’d always thought of Northamptonshire as a bit of an uninspiring county but the spot you stayed at looks beautiful. 😊👍😊
Thanks for getting it out before you go to the pub!😀
😉🍻😂
The "Palm-grip-Gearknob" is quite lovely!! :)
Great wee video.Love what you have done to the defender,looks nice and cozy with the curtains drawn.
Greetings from Ontario Canada , nice to see you out and about and meeting up with your mate Andy ! Enjoy .
Out doggin again nope think not!.
Only joking Simon great location with peaceful scenery as you said shame about traffic noise good to see Kent survival on board with a comment
Awesome set up, Simon! Very functional and cozy, will have to go back over your conversion videos and take some notes to implement those bright ideas into our toyota previa. Thanks for sharing your stealth camp with us!
Love what you did with the Rover, total comfort 😉🤙🤙🤙
Awesome convertion on that rig, very cool my friend 🤠
Cracking video mate been looking forward for the upload hopefully another video with Kent survival 👌
Super scenic area. A painting in that for sure! The rover redo is fun! Room on floor for you son? Wow! It appears other boondockers too. Thanks
Nice car camping video., your land rover works out really good
Very relaxing video to watch
nice looking narrowboats
Hi Simon I like the addition to the rover. Looking forward to the adventures with Andy. Take care.

Great video Simon , thanks . Looking forward to part 2 .
A really beautiful spot, and a lovely video
Yay, Simon’s back. Ration pack 1 super duper for spiking your mood. Awesome video and great to see you out and about.
I like that Land Rover Wohnmobil very much.
Cheers
Simon - Give yourself a break. Great video even with a little traffic. Noticed it more because you kept bringing it up. You were camping right next to a busy road ...
That's a great setup you've got there sir...
