Great that you have reviewed this but the company should send one to Steve in Edmonton Alberta where it gets really cold. See how it performs in winter weather.
These are excellent tents, I went with a Winnerwell stove and had to remove the rings as the chimney is ever so slightly bigger. How did you like the stove? I thought having the flue coming out of the front would be in the way for cooking. That flue gets hot and is a potential to get yourself burned being right in front. It gets hotter than hell with my stove. I still need to do some more testing on my tent and stove set up. Those Russians sure can make a high quality tent. What did you think about the stove? I just thought having a hinged door with a wide square opening with a window was more practical with the adjustable combustion air door. You can't go wrong with these tents. Have a great day!
I’m not outdoorsy at all! My husband laughs at me because I’m so obsessed with your videos. Especially when you cook your dinners. Look forward to seeing more from you.
75 yr old CANADIAN lady who NEVER misses your show Andy, i am hooked, you are the best. PS i was raised in the bush literally so i love being with you.🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦
Glad I happened upon you. I loved your travel program with Ricky. You always made me laugh. I was so sorry when Dexter ended too. You are a very personable actor with a sweet demeanor about you. I am enjoying going camping with you. How about if record some owl calls for us? I'm a single 85-year-old woman living in Seattle, Washington. Take care and happy camping.
It must seem weird Andy, talking to millions of people, and no one is there except you. Just setting up your camera shots must take ages, but is all quite seamless. You do a fantastic job of keeping us all included! Bless you!
Andy! You have in the space of about two years, turned me from being obsessed about ultralight camping, into wanting hardwearing, practical, bloody heavy but reliable gear!! damn you, i want everything in that video (including the food]. Guess i'm going to have to sell a kidney! I have to applaud you on your fantastic content, relaxed but really informative delivery, and great camera work! very inspiring stuff, in these strange times!
Andy, That set up is more comfy than my flat ! I could live in that all year especially with heavy rain bucketing down. As a 60 yr old with no ties anymore [all grown up and abroad] You have planted a seed ! Thank you. Mark, Dublin. PS When I hear the Vixen Fox calling, It still gives me a warm,away from it all feeling.
I’m from southeast Texas USA & very much a good ole country girl. In my younger years, I use to camp alone. I truly like your videos & have much respect for you. I noticed that you took off your hat before you started eating, & that alone impressed me. My Grandaddy was a preacher & hats were not allowed at the table. Keep up the good videos because I am addicted!
I just love watching you.ypur so laid back. Me camping could never do it as hate woods .that fox screams would be enough for me to be out of there.but you have me hooked.thank you for the great content
Bigos is an old traditional dish here in Poland. In theory it should be a vege dish since mainly served on Christmas Eve dinner. I prefer it done mostly from sour cabbage instead of fresh one. Good to make it on ribs, with a proper amount of kielbasa and forest mashrooms. By the way if you grind bigos it can be used as stuffing in pierogi (same - used during Christmas). Indeed winter food :) Thanks Andy for awesome content!
This is without a doubt the coolest tent I've ever seen! Impossible to carry for a cyclist/hiker like me, but damn, that thing is awesome. Thanks for another great vid Andy!
Keep in mind that I've only used it for a couple weeks, that being said, so far so good th-cam.com/users/postUgkxAU9pOCSV9Y5JprooHvfxTpOrt4hx8uRM . Using it at 8 ft. by 8ft. deer blind that is insulated. I have to keep the door cracked for it to get enough air to burn, but that is very likely the wood I've used. Much better quality than I expected for the price. Now if I can just take it easy in the beginning it won't be 90 degrees in my blind. All in all it seems like a keeper.
What a relief to watch a well organized person do one of these vids. I watched 4 in a row who decided food was the 1st priority. not shelter. Then they proceeded to build some of the dumbest designed shelters I've ever seen. Thank you for doing these! They're fun to watch and learn from!
What a tent! I don’t think I’ve ever seen a tent with so much thought put into it Loved watching it all go together and seeing all your other goodies The stove's wood door looks like it could slice the top of your hand but..it's a nice looking stove Now..to test it in winter..looking forward to that Take care 🇨🇦 ❤️
What an awesome setup Andy. One thing the Russian's know how to do, is enjoy the cold in comfort. If ever there was a winter tent arrangement that did the job well, it would have to come from such experienced people. Thanks for sharing.
It's quite a treat to see all of the attention to detail that the Russian manufacturers go to great lengths to provide their customers. Overkill for my needs but a stellar setup. Thanks for showing it.
The tiny vent near the back of the stove is for a butane gas line to feed into the tent and used with a gas heater. With the bulk tank stored out side the tent. Many American ice fishing tents have these. Great video. Big fan.
I’ve never camped in a tent 🏕 and have only camped out once in my life ( in a truck”). . ! However, via this channel and Andy I’m now enjoying “ camping and tenting “ vicariously” thank you 🙏. I love to cook and the way the one pot / pan cooking and ingredients looks, and no doubt tastes , it is giving me great ideas and tips. And--- enjoying “ Mother Nature” too boot! Happy Holidays to all:
Definatley feel if I could be allowed to live like this, move more freely, camp in peaceful woods without fear, I would do it, love the tent, love the set up, the food, the video work, sounds, the moon looks like an image of a person, the rain on the tent, it must be great to be at one with nature, surroundings, so good for the mind, body and soul. Absolutely love it,;and relaxing to watch as well.
I’ve never been camping once, but i recently found your channel and have become obsessed. Taking note of everything you’ve been using in these videos and someday I’ll actually go camping.
I have seen several reviews of the Russian Bear hot tents and after deciding which one was right for our family I purchased the UP-5 . It is THE BEST hot tent for a family camp out. DURABLE, WARM, DRY. Definitely have to drive the gear to campsite. A bit bulky but worth the hauling.
This is so laid back. Wow, just loved this set up and loved how you made it look so easy. You do a great job in explaining things to everyone. Wouldn't mind having one myself. You hold my attention for sure in your videos. Thanks👀
Wow what an amazing tent ⛺ 👏 it's definitely one of the best I've ever seen. Very well made and they have thought of everything when it comes to design. The stove is ok but a little big for the tent. Your smaller stove is better suited and I like the design better with the oven. You should compile a campsite cookbook with all your delicious recipes! You are quite the outdoor chef!! Awesome video as always! 😊
I've been asking but haven't had an answer-what has cooked that is complicated enough to need a recipe? Steak, fried potatoes and sauteed asparagus? Great meal, I love that he cooks from scratch but do you really need: Peel and cut up potatoes, put them in water and set to boil. Cook until mostly soft-add to preheated skillet with some oil, cook until brown. Etc...oil and season a steak. Add to skillet next to potatoes, cook as desired.
Looks a great bit of kit the Russian bear tent..what a great name for it. Like the design of this tent..and good quality . The Russians know a thing or two about keeping it warm. Thanks for another great informative video andy.
👋 from Melbourne, Australia 🇦🇺. This looks like a great tent & seems like it is nice & cosy inside. I would live in it. I'm in a wheelchair & there are tents that just aren't suitable. But this tent seems to tick all the boxes. Thanks for showing us this tent.
The sound of whatever animal that was scared the crap out of me! I'd be up all night if I heard that outside my tent.😂 (Okay, just looked it up and it's a fox, but still would scare me shitless)
Your taste in tableware is profoundly nostalgic. I purchased a set of similar ware in Denver's biggest surplus store during 1975 when I was first setting out with permanent camping in the western US. I used a Cold Handle in those days. Swedewoods uses one here--- I saw another practitioner who does, too. They nested--- the blue-rimmed enamelware and the frying pan. I still have that stuff in my picnic hamper.
I purchased the UP-2 with the Small stove in August. I've had it out four times with nary a problem. I bought it for an end of the world type of scenario. Unfortunately the odds of not having to bugout and use it, are dwindling. Great bit of Kit though ! Thanks Andy another stellar video !
I enjoy watching you saw or chop wood. It reminds me of me watching my Daddy sawing wood in the back yard. Love the smell of wood. When we went camping it was up to us kids to find wood for the camp fire so Mom could cook our meals. What fond memories. Thank you for your wonderful videos.
Wow...I am not a camper. I hate the bugs and I am a creature of comfort, but I have to say this set up causes me to consider camping. Great job!! Good vittles. :)
Thanks for this. I do so enjoy watching your channel. Your zest for life is inspiring. If you are really running out of room for all your camping equipment, you can always give some away to someone in need!
Sheesh, you and Simon are upping your game since I began watching…with tents and food. I haven’t had a big ribeye steak since prices went insane, $18 per pound, where I live. Really nice, professional base camp setup. WHAT A TENT!!!!! Even the camo pattern on the tent was right on target. Thanks for wagging all that stuff there and back. Your videography is great. By the tone of its voice, I think you must have angered the fox. It wasn’t a happy fox. The humility that allows you to remove your hat is becoming. Like your hat too. Not that you need or want my approval, but, this is a fine video, well done. Wish I were there…to help you pack and haul that gear. Thank you for sharing. Texas
By far the best hot tent video I’ve seen!!! Oh and yes that tent and stove set up is AMAZING!!! Thanks for taking me with you on this video, I could almost smell the meals.
Really like that double shell ! Over all one of the most well built tents I've ever seen . It is almost a base camp or ice fishing hut . Many uses and so easy to set up
I just clicked on this. Couldn’t believe it was you with the bear. I must now go back and watch from the start. It amazes me the way you throw stuff in a pot and turn it into a delicious meal. I am useless at cooking. Never know how long to do things for. Ie I would never have dreamed of throwing rice in with everything.
Brilliant video! The part you didn’t use was actually a small vestibule. It was a bear setting it up, would have been easier if I had watched you set it up first. I’m only 5’5” and to set up the tent I attached a loop of paracord to the pole handle held it down with my foot and pushed up with both hands.
My folks on my dads side was timber working people , dad broke out in the oilfield. But I was tought how to slit a stick of firewood, the method you use is very hard on yourself, our chopping axes , mostly are double but axes . They're very sharp, the way bushcraft shows to sharpen the single bits , are sharpened like a metal cutting chisel, our hunting and timber axes are sharpened like a straight rasor. Someplace ive a old axe sharpen your style , I used then for nothing but splitting sticks of stove wood . I've busted stove wood a meter across, with I check on the back side of the stick , and 1 on the side near me and never hit the ground or a chop block below . Its something my dad and grandpa tought me how to . I'm just 64 , but I watched and listened to my folks.
What a brilliant tent, it has everything but the proverbial kitchen sink. This is the first you tube video I have been mesmerized by, despite its longevity. Loved this introduction to hot tent camping. Thank you so much for sharing.
Ive noticed Russian things are made to last and are good quality. I got a bed from Russia, and it was the easiest, and best quality bed and matress ever. Real wood instead of the crap chip board stuff you get elsewhere. Same as that tent. It looks like a good quality one too. I love watching your videaos as it looks so relaxing, and your reviews are great. Thanks :)
I'd rather him try out Ukrainian tents and products to be honest. May also give less trouble with British government seing how sanctions and embargos are going.
I like foxes. We have one around our house and I hear him some mornings. I've heard them hunting and camping as well. I do some nuisance trapping for predators of turkeys, turkey eggs, and deer. I've caught foxes and I always let them go. Cool little critters
Thanks Andy, good luck with take 2 on the work horse, i am too chilling by the fire, cant beat it! Happy days. Looking forward to watching all of your videos.
This is an awesome camping video i ever watched. You made it with passion and dedication due your preparation, explanation about every aspect of your camping which is easy to understand for your viewers, and also the important ane the cinematography. Really, i pay big respect for you sir. Thanks for made this video keep up the great work
Man I recently found your channel cause I'm a fan of the channel outdoor boys. Just like their channel, I love seeing the joy you have doing this! Watching this one I felt like I was watching a kid opening up a present. I love it. Love the videos! Keep on keeping on!!
That is a SICK tent! I'm surprised you don't use it more but I do realize it and the stove are darn heavy and it's been summer. I hope you can get out in it this winter again. I live in southern california where it's totally impractical so I will live vicariously through your videos and imagine how cozy it is in the cooler months.
Thank you ,Andy for keeping the videos coming. Enjoy each and everyone of your videos. Keep on camping, my friend. Good luck and safety follow you on your journeys.
That tent is a lot of work for two nights but looks well worth a week or two during the shoulder seasons. Love a good cot - that is luxury. Craving that stew! Thanks, Andy.
Thats an Awesome shelter Andy, I saw Lonny a chap in Alaska has one of these, what a superb shelter if a little on the heavy side. I'm getting into a bit of Hot tent camping at the moment, but just a little bit lighter weight:) Everything about this setup is top draw apart. Year round comfort:) Sandy
Youre not wrong Sandy.. it was an amazing set up, those russians sure know how to deal with there siberian winters haha. Hot tenting is a great thing isnt it.. playing with the stove helps pass those long winter nights. I got your other comment... ill have to email you, it would be great to arrange something.. maybe for the new year.
Could watch you for hours, I like your easy, laid back approach to tenting out in the wild, superb delivery and topics. Really like your cooking tips too, just shows people how one can eat well when out in our terrific countryside and woodlands! Cheers Andy?
Looks like a wicked tent, good for those 2/3 days camps otherwise it a huge pack to take for an over nighter lol.... Wasn't keen on the way the stove has been made, lots of unnecessary bits added.. great vid Andy take care..
Andy. I am seeing this video 3rd time. Enjoyed it best. You have the best camping videos - be it the suckling pig or it is the rock breakfast. I am an Indian and we sure have a history. While I get angry (forgive me ) I most enjoy the best things of your culture- afternoon tea and dunking biscuits, railways, literature, sports most importantly cricket. Nothing gives me more pleasure than reading Wodehouse's world or watching Ben Stokes. I have always assumed in the location you are in Simon Becketts first novel is set - I am most likely wrong.....cheers Andy
Omg that tent is a dream for me!! One day!!! Awesome video like always Andy!! I was working when i got the Notification never wanted to finish so bad in my life 🤣🤣 and as always that steak and crispy potatoes looked awesome!! Made me hungry 😀
The company’s tents, stoves, and accessories are awesome you could spend month’s camping and never want to come back to a city, great video first time I have ever seen a tent like this, wondering when Simon will have a chance to experience it
Too heavy, too complicated, is for camping or for moving and live permanently in the woods? An the pattern colors are a risk in hunting areas, but...looks resistant and the estructure design for me is new. Nice video very informative
I absolutely love those things - wish I could justify buying one..... short of my house being destroyed and having to live 'rough' while it was rebui;t... brilliant.
I found your channel and I'm hooked. Simple, realistic and the meals you prepare are inspirational. I loved the pumpkin pot. What a great idea. I watch you from Los Lunas, New Mexico And yes in the USA Thanks for loving camping
Great video Andy, I do enjoy watching your videos. I was sat on holiday once at Burnham on Sea holiday village and there was a fox outside screaming just like that one on your video. I was laughing my head off at people running around outside thinking someone was being murdered. I knew exactly what it was.
We have a family of foxes that live at the end of my dirt road, and that sound is their warning call. They can make up to 24 different sounds, which all mean something. The females literally scream when mating. It’s an awful sound
Omg that tent just keeps giving. I love the design of how it's built. My question is do you have to use there stove or could you use something you already have for a hot tent ? And your little flat stove is great I have one just in case the fire goes out but I'm looking to upgrade to the one you have been using. Thank you for all the great information. From Illinois , USA

Great that you have reviewed this but the company should send one to Steve in Edmonton Alberta where it gets really cold. See how it performs in winter weather.
Look 👍
What is the pot that you used? The one you stated was new? We think that might work well for us on our stove. thanks
These are excellent tents, I went with a Winnerwell stove and had to remove the rings as the chimney is ever so slightly bigger. How did you like the stove? I thought having the flue coming out of the front would be in the way for cooking. That flue gets hot and is a potential to get yourself burned being right in front. It gets hotter than hell with my stove. I still need to do some more testing on my tent and stove set up. Those Russians sure can make a high quality tent. What did you think about the stove? I just thought having a hinged door with a wide square opening with a window was more practical with the adjustable combustion air door. You can't go wrong with these tents. Have a great day!

Freezing my ass off watching this while hammock camping.. I swear I felt warmer just watching that stove!

Thanks Mik, it is amazing, yeah, not for hiking and cycling but damn good for a car camp
They have hiker option. Check their website

Not that you need or want my approval, but, this is a fine video, well done. Wish I were there…to help you pack and haul that gear. Thank you for sharing. Texas
By far the best hot tent video I’ve seen!!! Oh and yes that tent and stove set up is AMAZING!!! Thanks for taking me with you on this video, I could almost smell the meals.
Really like that double shell ! Over all one of the most well built tents I've ever seen . It is almost a base camp or ice fishing hut . Many uses and so easy to set up
I just clicked on this. Couldn’t believe it was you with the bear. I must now go back and watch from the start. It amazes me the way you throw stuff in a pot and turn it into a delicious meal. I am useless at cooking. Never know how long to do things for. Ie I would never have dreamed of throwing rice in with everything.
Brilliant video! The part you didn’t use was actually a small vestibule. It was a bear setting it up, would have been easier if I had watched you set it up first. I’m only 5’5” and to set up the tent I attached a loop of paracord to the pole handle held it down with my foot and pushed up with both hands.
My folks on my dads side was timber working people , dad broke out in the oilfield. But I was tought how to slit a stick of firewood, the method you use is very hard on yourself, our chopping axes , mostly are double but axes . They're very sharp, the way bushcraft shows to sharpen the single bits , are sharpened like a metal cutting chisel, our hunting and timber axes are sharpened like a straight rasor. Someplace ive a old axe sharpen your style , I used then for nothing but splitting sticks of stove wood . I've busted stove wood a meter across, with I check on the back side of the stick , and 1 on the side near me and never hit the ground or a chop block below . Its something my dad and grandpa tought me how to . I'm just 64 , but I watched and listened to my folks.
That looks like a proper winter snow tent. Seen these type of tents on other channels where they camp down to -40c. Super robust gear
Awesome as always, Andy.
Thank you for sharing your awesome adventures
I was waiting for you to add potatoes to the stew. My mouth was watering watching you cook that. Another great video! You never fail.
This tent maker has thoughtfully done hos homework. I bet he was an avid camper as well. Enjoy your new tent anytime of the year
Off for a camp this weekend! Thanks for the inspiring videos Andy! Cheers!
Thanks, Have a good one Alex
I sure love these tents, every single channel that tries the Russian Bear love it. Top of the line as far as my needs go
What a brilliant tent, it has everything but the proverbial kitchen sink. This is the first you tube video I have been mesmerized by, despite its longevity. Loved this introduction to hot tent camping. Thank you so much for sharing.
Ive noticed Russian things are made to last and are good quality. I got a bed from Russia, and it was the easiest, and best quality bed and matress ever. Real wood instead of the crap chip board stuff you get elsewhere. Same as that tent. It looks like a good quality one too. I love watching your videaos as it looks so relaxing, and your reviews are great. Thanks :)
I'd rather him try out Ukrainian tents and products to be honest. May also give less trouble with British government seing how sanctions and embargos are going.
What a brilliant tent!
If anyone wants to know why you've got so many subscribers, they just need to watch this video. Superb. Cheers Andy. ATB
:D thank you very much indeed
I'm new to watching your channel. I really enjoyed hearing the foxes at night. Reminds me of my youth. I raised silver foxes.
Watching 3hrs of videos feels like a retreat for me 🏕⚒🦊🍳🥩🍟☕🤠 Thanks for the adventure 🌄🎒😌
I like foxes. We have one around our house and I hear him some mornings. I've heard them hunting and camping as well. I do some nuisance trapping for predators of turkeys, turkey eggs, and deer. I've caught foxes and I always let them go. Cool little critters
Just visited the website for the tent. The tent alone is very reasonably priced. Amazing design. Thanks for the review. May just be the tent for me.
its the best tent ive ever seen.. so well made and thought out.. obviously not a hikers choice but fits its brief perfectly
Thanks Andy, good luck with take 2 on the work horse, i am too chilling by the fire, cant beat it! Happy days. Looking forward to watching all of your videos.
That tent looks like it can handle some very cold, windy nights. Pretty awesome setup
Love that deluxe tent. Lucky you. Another great watch. Love you.
This is an awesome camping video i ever watched. You made it with passion and dedication due your preparation, explanation about every aspect of your camping which is easy to understand for your viewers, and also the important ane the cinematography. Really, i pay big respect for you sir. Thanks for made this video keep up the great work
Thank you very much for the kind words :D Im glad you enjoyed it
Man I recently found your channel cause I'm a fan of the channel outdoor boys. Just like their channel, I love seeing the joy you have doing this! Watching this one I felt like I was watching a kid opening up a present. I love it. Love the videos! Keep on keeping on!!
That is a SICK tent! I'm surprised you don't use it more but I do realize it and the stove are darn heavy and it's been summer. I hope you can get out in it this winter again. I live in southern california where it's totally impractical so I will live vicariously through your videos and imagine how cozy it is in the cooler months.
perfect just what i needed with my dinner! love your videos
Thank you very much :)
I love when I cut wood and look at the rings thinking "I am the only person on the planet ever to set eyes on this". Even better when I split a rock.
Thank you ,Andy for keeping the videos coming. Enjoy each and everyone of your videos. Keep on camping, my friend. Good luck and safety follow you on your journeys.
Thank you very much Charles :)
That tent is a lot of work for two nights but looks well worth a week or two during the shoulder seasons. Love a good cot - that is luxury. Craving that stew! Thanks, Andy.
Thats an Awesome shelter Andy, I saw Lonny a chap in Alaska has one of these, what a superb shelter if a little on the heavy side. I'm getting into a bit of Hot tent camping at the moment, but just a little bit lighter weight:) Everything about this setup is top draw apart. Year round comfort:) Sandy
Youre not wrong Sandy.. it was an amazing set up, those russians sure know how to deal with there siberian winters haha.
Hot tenting is a great thing isnt it.. playing with the stove helps pass those long winter nights.
I got your other comment... ill have to email you, it would be great to arrange something.. maybe for the new year.
Lonnie and Connie
Could watch you for hours, I like your easy, laid back approach to tenting out in the wild, superb delivery and topics. Really like your cooking tips too, just shows people how one can eat well when out in our terrific countryside and woodlands! Cheers Andy?
Looks like a wicked tent, good for those 2/3 days camps otherwise it a huge pack to take for an over nighter lol....
Wasn't keen on the way the stove has been made, lots of unnecessary bits added..
great vid Andy take care..
Andy. I am seeing this video 3rd time. Enjoyed it best. You have the best camping videos - be it the suckling pig or it is the rock breakfast. I am an Indian and we sure have a history. While I get angry (forgive me ) I most enjoy the best things of your culture- afternoon tea and dunking biscuits, railways, literature, sports most importantly cricket. Nothing gives me more pleasure than reading Wodehouse's world or watching Ben Stokes. I have always assumed in the location you are in Simon Becketts first novel is set - I am most likely wrong.....cheers Andy
Omg that tent is a dream for me!! One day!!! Awesome video like always Andy!! I was working when i got the Notification never wanted to finish so bad in my life 🤣🤣 and as always that steak and crispy potatoes looked awesome!! Made me hungry 😀
The company’s tents, stoves, and accessories are awesome you could spend month’s camping and never want to come back to a city, great video first time I have ever seen a tent like this, wondering when Simon will have a chance to experience it
Andy I absolutely love the long videos!
That tent stove set up is a beast!
I think a trip to a harsher climate is in your cards!
Thanks for the video!
Bring it over to Northern Ontario in February and we will give it a good test.
Too heavy, too complicated, is for camping or for moving and live permanently in the woods? An the pattern colors are a risk in hunting areas, but...looks resistant and the estructure design for me is new. Nice video very informative
I’m new to your channel and love it! It’s like mindfulness and is so calming to watch. You’re brilliant Keep up the good work! 👏👏👏👏
Andy, what a beast of a tent. Great video as always 👍
Im addicted now been watching for last 4 weeks cant sleep anyways its 2 16 am so i have something good to watch 😊nice one Andy 😊
What a set up awesome bit of kit.
Nice video kept it interesting for over 50 minutes. Your a lucky man to have such a nice bit of woodland to enjoy 🤘🏻
a couple thousands viewing, not a single dislike. my 1st time ever experience on watching TH-cam
Loved the video Andy. That tent is awesome. They do a smaller one which would be ideal for fishing
I absolutely love those things - wish I could justify buying one..... short of my house being destroyed and having to live 'rough' while it was rebui;t... brilliant.
Absolutely amazing, loved every second
I found your channel and I'm hooked.
Simple, realistic and the meals you prepare are inspirational. I loved the pumpkin pot. What a great idea.
I watch you from Los Lunas, New Mexico
And yes in the USA
Thanks for loving camping
Thanks for all you do for us. Keep the videos coming. They are great!
More of this please. Really enjoyed the cooking in a hot tent. Not sure why. Lol
Hope you're well Andy, keep em' coming.
Thanks Lukas :D
Great video Andy, I do enjoy watching your videos. I was sat on holiday once at Burnham on Sea holiday village and there was a fox outside screaming just like that one on your video. I was laughing my head off at people running around outside thinking someone was being murdered. I knew exactly what it was.
We have a family of foxes that live at the end of my dirt road, and that sound is their warning call.
They can make up to 24 different sounds, which all mean something. The females literally scream when mating. It’s an awful sound
Omg that tent just keeps giving. I love the design of how it's built. My question is do you have to use there stove or could you use something you already have for a hot tent ? And your little flat stove is great I have one just in case the fire goes out but I'm looking to upgrade to the one you have been using. Thank you for all the great information. From Illinois , USA
So I went to the site and see that yes the stove comes with the tent the price is not bad for what all you get.
