Sleeping Outside Under an Awning Attached to my Suzuki Jimny

- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 10 พ.ค. 2022
- My local campsite in the North East of England located in a beautiful corner of the woodland that overlooks a farmers fields and a small stream.
Life has been busy and my camping hobby has taken a backseat recently.
This is the second time I've used the Sony camera. The first camp video failed and this one was slightly better. I need more experience operating the camera. Please bear with me while I figure it out. The good news is it's fun using a proper camera but I'm not yet proud of the end result.
UPDATE ON THE JIMNY CAMPER BUILD.
I sold my roof tent! For now, I am sleeping inside the Jimny or on the ground underneath the Awning. In this video I'm sleeping on the ground. I slept very well but I miss my roof tent!
The exciting news is I'm building my own roof tent specifically for the small Jimny. There has been some delays in sourcing materials but I expect to see some progress in the coming weeks. I'm writing blogs about the DIY roof tent build on my website if you are interested geordiejimny.com/category/pro...
I hope you are fit, well and enjoy the video :)

Any upcoming blog updates re: rooftop tent project? We are in Australia just got our Jimny and your blog is amazing. Thanks for all the useful info and your wonderful videos too. Want to buy some leather accessories from your Etsy soon :)
Hi! Funnily enough I was supposed to be heading out to shoot some new videos. However. 😆 as with almost every step of this diy roof tent project an unfortunate obstacle of the roof warping and leaking in the sun occurred! I’m talking about the NE of England weather too which wasn’t even 14° but sunny. So that failure has set me back. A replacement different material is arriving tomorrow.
At least the slimline kitchen build worked out great first time.
Can’t wait to start using it all and cracking a beer!
There’s a sale on Etsy as we speak by the way!
Appreciate the message and thanks for watching the videos and checking out the blogs.
What I've learned about camping is this, the most important thing in life is time.
🤩👍 I agree!
and sleep
Love your content! I really appreciate the amount of effort you put in each angle and shot to create your awesome content.
Your content is very inspiring, I also love the upgrades you've made to your set up excited to watch more of your upcoming adventures mate! ⛺🔥
Thank you!
They’re fun to make. I’ve been building a new roof tent so I hope to get out enjoying that in a future video.
Appreciate you watching 🍻
Peaceful and relaxing! Thank you for sharing!
Glad you enjoyed it! Appreciate you watching :)
Love that campsite (if its where I think it is). Amazing how used to people the squizas are. I was sat feet up towards the roaring fire, chilling. Then heard noises in my van just behind me, turned around to see squiza in van head buried in bag of nuts. Shouted ‘OY!’ It just sat looking at me then carried on nibbling nuts. Had to chase it out.
😂😂😂 yeah they’re not bothered by humans at all are they.
Can't wait to see your DIY roof tent .
Cheers mate! Excited to get it finished. Made some good progress last week on the tent floor.
By seeing your videos I imagine myself as if I'm present there. So serene, peace, spending time with yourself, preparing a meal, having a beer. Weekends should be spent like this. Will get a jimny for myself when available in India for sure. Please do upload more videos.
Thank you Nakul. I’ll be uploading again at some point. Best of luck getting your jimny. It’s long overdue for release in India.
Glad to see a new vid :) Looking forward to the new roof top tent reveal!
Cheers mate. Been working on it all day today. Solving problems. Great fun!
Great video as always….and still love that optic👍
Cheers to that Keith 🥃
So relaxing to watch👍
Thanks for watching! 🍻
Just back from a few nights at Brockers myself. So envious of your set up. Beautiful. Sadly a lot of storm damage has taken place but doesn't detract from the enjoyment and tranquility. 👌
Yeah there was a fair bit! Ever changing as always but it never disappoints:)
Ive helped a bit when Im there, if and when I can, with clean up. I was there the day after the storm, it was saddening but it will recover. Think most of the clean up is done now.
Brilliant video. Thank you.
Thanks 🙏
I love the unique theme of your channel where you don't speak and let the viewer live through you. Underrated
Thank you. Appreciate it ☺️
Some like it, some don’t but they’re fun to make!
so relaxing to watch !!
😁🙌
Wow that an amazing setup
Thanks Anthony. Been quite some time since I last made a video and the setup will change for the better. I can’t wait to get it completed
Very nice! The video will speak itself!☺️
Thanks 😊
This one is coming after ages. I hope you are keeping well. Best wishes and as I always say ❤️ your videos.
Thank you Vineet
Miss u dude... hug from Chapecó/SC Brazil
Thanks mate! I’ll be back. Best wishes 🍻
Amazing video...
Amazing life stile
Thanks to share this. 👏🏼
We Brazilians lovely yours videos.
Thank you! 😄
OMG the jeep of my dreams, i love jimny...some day some day, great video
Thanks 😊 the JIMNY’S are a fun car to own. Highly recommended if you don’t need a lot of space or have a big family.
Suerte con los nuevos emprendimientos y ojalá que todo salga a pedir de boca.
Muchas gracias, José
Hobo Jack! 😉 Cracking video mate….glad to see you out. 👍🏻👍🏻
Cheers mate - got a load of tees on sale for mucking about in 😂👍
Fun camping with joyful
😇👍
Nice new chair I like it looks really comfy
It’s a bit bulky for the jimny but my knees and back weren’t getting along with the small collapsing tube style one I had. Loved the tiny pack size of it but had to try something else. The new one has a higher sitting position and reclines which is nice 😊
@@GeordieJimny nice! I’m sure you have plenty space for the chair, Jimny can fit much more stuff than it looks!
Очень жаль что так редко выходят ваши видео Джордж, у вас есть талант. Ждем с нетерпением. Привет вам с Сибири! ;)
привет Vlad. Спасибо! Я вернусь делать видео 🍻
Finally New video … keep to inspired me .mate fr Indonesia
Thanks for watching mate 🥃
Awesome buddy awesome
Thanks 😊
love video
Thanks!
We need more videos man. Please come back
Thanks mate. Appreciate it. I’ll be back. 👍
Optics, who you kidding 🙂The food looks great and you're making me hungry.
50ml shots is a big mistake for camping 🤪.
Fun, cheap and easy mod though. Much better when camping with a few mates to go to the bar for their round 😉
Tranquillity 😀👍
🍻😊
Oh! Waiting you so long good clip again
Thanks 😊 👍
Peaceful video sounds good 👍from 🇮🇳
Greetings! 🍻
Hola saludos de colomvia me encantan sus videos me relajan mucho de viera de sacar más de seguido
Thank you Raul 🍻
Nice video
Thanks ☺️
New subs here, love your simple setup!
Thanks for the sub! 😊
Thank you for a beautiful and peaceful video.
Can you share info / do a full video of your Jimny storage setup. In min 15:13 we can see a glimpse of it with some fridge slider and a solid platform for storage.
Keep making these videos. Thanks
Hi, thanks for watching. 😊
I made that fridge slide geordiejimny.com/diy-fridge-slider-built-like-meccano-using-aluminium-extrusion/
Also made a new upgraded version recently instagram.com/p/CtMTVdHolmz/?igsh=bXdhZnRobnVvdGhj
素晴らしい映像に心躍りました。
ビデオを見ていただきありがとうございます！
You have a nice little set up there.
Thanks Charles, getting there slowly but surely. Been building a replacement roof tent that took ages but almost ready now :)
waaao a mi me encanta esa camara y tambien la quiero es increible para videos y fotos, te deseo lo mejor y saludos desde Ecuador
Thank you Stefano! Appreciate you watching.
Or...you can drive to a hotel! Kidding, looks great!
😄
So long bro miss u so much, nice update on cammera, u listen me thanks so much
Thanks mate I’ll learn how to use it better over time!
New Avatar very good!
Thank you
Great vlog. The silence and nature is amazing. Great spot I miss not been able to go now I have a motorhome,😔. I've recently been thinking of buying a jimny and a rooftent. I had a tentbox classic for odd trips away and that was on a zafira. I much prefer the remote off the beaten track camping and the simplicity of it all. Would you recommend a jimny and roof tent?
Hi Glenn, thanks for watching. Yeah I do recommend them. However you have to get the lightest weight ones for a jimny. They can’t handle the heavy roof top tents very well. I’m building my own as we speak after selling my front runner one.
peaceful..🙂
Always happy times 😊🍻
とても気持ちよさそうですね！😊
😊👌
Oh dude, it's my dream
Hi Max, it’s a nice way to spend a day. Cheers for watching.
Thought I recognised this motor when it appeared on my recommended videos. I’ve seen you at Costco a few times and admired the little jimny 😂
Haha no way. The queue of all queues! 😂👍 (assuming the petrol station)
@@GeordieJimny just on Sunday gone! I passed it parked up while looking for a spot 😂 canny videos 👍
thiên nhiên đẹp quá . chúc bạn có một kỳ nghỉ vui vẻ
Great video mate , some great questions in the comments but thought people are missing out on the real questions we all want to ask … like how long did it take to train to squirrels ? I’ve ordered 2 off Amazon link in bio . Next time can you use the ear plugs to light the fire . What size is your checked shirt xxxxxxl you obviously lift weights 💪🏼. Was the air you used to blow your air bed up organic ? Was the wood from a tree you used to carve your cup ? What shower gel did you rub on your stake ? I have a mental age of an 8 year old so loved the egg joke 😂😂😉
Haha what you like man!
I used the dom juice for the steak 😂
Shirts from mothercare, kites from Witherspoons heh.
Cya in the gym mate 💪
Love the camping storage box. What brand is it? These videos are so peaceful. I bought a jimny because of them!
Hi Dan. It’s from naturehike.com I should have got the green one but they’re really useful functionality wise
Hi bro, how are you? I think that is very good, you comeback make this videos! Congratulations 👊 (sorry my inglish, I’m still learning).
Hi mate. Thank you. 🍻🍻🍻
Just finished watching this video being the last one to view. I became totally hooked on your video making. Great entertainment combined with giving out camping tricks and tips. Love it!
May I ask, when you’ll upload the next one?
Can’t wait! 😊
Hi thanks so much! I’m returning to TH-cam very soon. Finally managed to finish building a new roof tent and just sorting out a date to get my first overnight test of it. I’ll make a new video then, can’t wait! Although I’m going to be rusty I’ve been rewatching camera tutorials 😂👍
Awesome to hear! 👍🏻
Especially the fact that you build your own roof top tent?! Amazing!
I bet no one will even notice any rustiness. :)
Thanks, for your reply.
Will be on for the next one! Cheers
@@SirFranklin91 appreciate it!
Good
Thank you ☺️
Cool video, I've got bit of odd question... does the seatbelt warning sound & hazard light sound both simultaneously work? (mine doesn't & I only noticed this since taking it in for the harness recall)
Thanks for watching!
I’m not sure I’ll try it and let you know. 😆
The red frying pan is funny.
You noticed! 😊
Amazing videos :) do you have a list of all the tools you use / all the equipment for the jimny you have? thanks!
Thanks Davide. I made a page on my blog for everything I’ve ever used. Lots of the equipment I don’t have anymore but it’s still handy for the older videos.
geordiejimny.com/equipment-links
Grat video 👍🏻 can you let us know what water container you have on the spare wheel and how did you mount it ? Thank you
Hi Adelin, thank you.
It’s a rotopax water container.
Love these videos! I am curious, how do you find places to camp in the woods that allow you to have a fire? I really want to do some woodland camping!
Hi 👋 I go to a privately ran campsite that allows customers to light fires. There’s not many that do in the UK for good reason but this farm is my favourite 👍
@@GeordieJimny do you mind me asking which campsite? Looks like an absolute dream and wouldn’t mind visiting!
Edit: ignore me. I’ve just read your description 😂
another great video - enjoying the humour. where did you get the camp chair and the work gloves from?
looking forward to the next instalment.
Cheers mate!
The chair is from go outdoors. It’s a bit bulky but comfortable. 👍 the work gloves I got from unigear. Useful kit.
Снова большой привет из Беларуси!!! Спасибо за новый видос! Как часто ты выбираешься на отдых? И чем занимаешься в жизни??
Привет! Спасибо за просмотр снова.
Я стал соучредителем приложения в магазине приложений для своей основной работы. Я бы обычно заботился о аспектах дизайна. Я тоже разрабатываю продукты, но моя основная работа - приложение.
В последнее время я нахожу жизнь очень занятой, а это значит, что я не могу часто ходить в походы. Вот почему мои видео-релизы очень медленные! Я не могу жаловаться, потому что жизнь хороша!
С наилучшими пожеланиями 🍻
リスがこんな近くにくるなんて凄いですね❗
and i tough drinking beer with doughnuts was something only i did. lol
😅👌
Long time no see brader 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Hey 👋 😎
ありがとうございます！
どうもありがとうございます 🤩
Those Jimnys are cool. Too bad we can't get them in the USA. Cheers!
It’s a shame they don’t sell them in the US :/ thx for tuning in Derek
Mackmyra!!? Well done, mate. It’s from my country of birth. 😁
Delicious!
On one campsite I stayed on last year, I threw a few peanuts out to a young squirrel, the next day I'm pretty sure that he had jumped onto my folding step and tapped on the door. Well he was the only thing around once I opened the door,... cheeky bugger, I couldn't help but chuck him a few more.
Ha ha. They are cheeky mate. Brave too. 😆
Aye..cracking as always.. your content is great and you have some blooming brilliant gear..your garage must be something.haha. the internal side racking..where from mate? any links ? i want to do a couple each side in my x trail. and add utility pouches etc. cheers
Hi mate. Cheers! The molle panels are from jimnystyle.com but they’re specific to a jimny. Maybe there’s some out there the x trail though. Most likely 👍
@@GeordieJimny cheers mate

自然 豊かなキャンプ場ですね リスが可愛らしい
Nature is wonderful to experience.
愛車を横目にキャンプ非常にいいですよね
日よけの下で寝るのが好きです:)
The carving looks so therapeutic, would like to give it a go meself, what timber are you using? Great video 👍
Hi there. It’s a very relaxing thing to do while camping. Super satisfying if the project doesn’t crack :)
It’s cherry or birch that I generally use.
I see your wood carving has come leaps and bounds 👌👌👌 what wood did you use for the cup ?
Hi Craig cheers mate! I tried to get thinner walls on the whiskey cup. It’s cherry, over the moon with it.
@@GeordieJimny looks fantastic 👍 keep these epic videos coming
Cheers Craig! Working hard to get the new roof tent built. that will motivate me to get out making more videos for sure. Cheers again
What fire grate/grill is it and where can it be bought from ?
Excellent video.
Hi frank, it’s made by tjm metalworks on Etsy
Haii my new friend ..very nice vedio ..so beautiful ..l likes 👍👍👍👍
Hello l am from Malaysia 👍
Hello Hazaiah, thanks 😊 appreciate you watching the video. Always fun to make 👍
Geordie de que año es tu Jimny? Quiero tener una similar. Me encantan tus videos. Saludos!
¡hola! es un Jimny 2019. gracias por mirar y me alegra que disfrutes los videos. 😊🍻
Great video. How did you attach the water container to the rear door next to the spare wheel? Thanks
Hi it’s a prototype product I’m testing. 😄 hopefully it’ll hit the market
@@GeordieJimny it looks the part and would really help to save space in the boot. Big thumbs up from me 👍🏻
@@mykie247 yeah it’s a nice location for it 👍
Childish humor 😅 i like the nature prevail in your content...🤙🍻
What kind of oil did you put into your wooden cup and its wood? Thanks! 🇵🇭
Cheers for watching 😁 the oil I used on this cherry wood cup is Naturally Pure Cold-Pressed Linseed Oil. Really happy birthday with it. I also lined the inside with beeswax which seems to have worked out great!
great vid bud, and awesome set up, Q thou, seen on a few other sites people park their 4x4 on rocks/off the road... whats the reason please? keep up the good work with the vids, very relaxing
Hi mate. Cheers. :)
Usually it’s to help level the car flat if sleeping inside it or in the roof tent.
I also do it depending upon the ground level to help raise the side awning up for more headroom. The jimny is quite a low vehicle compared to most 4x4
@@GeordieJimny appreciate the response bud, cheers
Anytime cheers for watching 👍👍👍
Geordie any ideas to improve Jimnys awful front seats?
Haha no unfortunately not.
What’s the telt ur jusing and the tarp on our car 😅 please . Looks amazing
Hi 👋 the side awning is a darche eclipse 180° rear awning with awning walls (sits nice on the side of the jimny with it being a short car).
Hi Geordie - I wonder what model of fresh water tank (the white one in the video) you fixed next to the spare tyre and how you mounted it 🤔 Would you be so kind to tell me some details about it and where to get it ? ☺️ Cheers,William from WTF WilliamTravelFrequently
Hi William hope you’re well. It’s a rotopax water carrier and the bracket is a prototype I’ve been working on that’s not released as yet. This was a proof of concept early version that’s since had some improvements. We’re working on it!
@@GeordieJimny thanks a lot 😎🙏
Onde está você? 😂Aguardamos novos vídeos.
disculpas por la ausencia! No he podido hacer otro video durante muchos meses. Volveré lo prometo 😁🤝
👍
Please can you let us know what make of tent you are using? Also, is it available in South Africa. It looks perfect!!
Hi Sandi, the side awning is made by Darche. Not sure if you can get it in South Africa but the UK distributor I buy from is trekoverland.com
It’s called the eclipse 180° rear awning and wall set.
The roof tent on my other videos is from Front Runner, definitely available over where you are.
Great video. May ask, why leave the car tires on rocks over night?
2 reasons. To level the car flat and/or raise it up higher.
Usually when the roof tent is on or I’m sleeping in the car, the rocks help create a flat level surface that stops you rolling and sliding to one side in your sleep.
However, on this camp it was to help add extra head room under the side awning. JIMNY’S, even with a 50mm suspension lift are not very tall cars compared to defenders and Jeeps. I’m only 6ft tall and still have to stoop down.
@@GeordieJimny ah, cool makes sense. I’m about 6.2” and look very tall next to a Jimny, but one of the things I love about them is there’s actually plenty of head room and leg space once your inside. I saw in one of your other videos you have a digital spirit level to help as well. Very cool.
@@Nicodemaus1869 yeah the head room is excellent 👍
First of all - Thank you for uploading. Well done and as always the best campaing channel. Now! After 5 months of wait you uploaded with 16 min video ( Too short) Please go back to old format and please upload more? Cheers mate - Love your work...
Thank you. As mentioned In the description unfortunately changing to a new camera resulted in a lot of footage I could not use. Focusing issues etc. I know it’s not the best video and I’ll try to make something better in future videos. Please understand I’m not a full time TH-camr. I have 3 part time jobs that consume a lot of time so rarely get the chance to make videos. I do describe the channel as ‘occasional’ videos in the about section so hopefully that makes anyone watching understand the release schedule. Appreciate you watching and your feedback.
@@GeordieJimny Mate - Sorry! Did not not mean to be A**... My apologies. Respect your honesty... Cheers man - Can not wait for the next part...
@@TheAthavanleon cheers mate, all good 😄🍻
I could smell the bacon from here!
😁
Haven't watched your vids in a while. What happened with the roof tent?
Yeah I haven’t been making videos since December, super busy with work and projects. I sold the roof tent as I’m building one specifically for the jimny. Fun project so far.
Hi there,
First of all Congrats for the vídeo!
Can you please tell me the brand and size of the wheels and tires ?
The suspensions are stock?
Best Regards and keep up with the good "work"!
Hi thanks :)
The Dean Cross Country wheels are from www.jimnystyle.com
Tyres are Toyo Open Country A/T 215/70R16
Suspension is Old Man Emu 40mm + 10mm spring spacers
How do you chose your kit it’s so good?!
A lot of trial and error. 😊
I still take way too much kit, need to optimise it all to the bare minimum.
Pack size and weight play a bigger factor due to the limited space.
Where did you get the water Jerry can attached to you space wheel? Please and thank you.
Hi it’s a prototype I’ve been testing. Please keep an eye on JimnyStyle.com for more details once it’s released. 👍
Hi, any more adventures soon please ?
Hey mate. I want to for sure. Desperate for some quiet camping it’s been way too long.
Waiting on parts arriving for v3 of the roof tent I built. Then it’s time to test it out 🥃💥🥃
@@GeordieJimny great, looking forward to seeing the changes to the roof tent and the next video 🙂
2:43-3:12 so cute
😁👍
Красиво
🍻thanks
👍👍👍😘
😆👍
Watching from Japan. Is jimmy popular in the UK?
Hi there. Yes they’re quite popular. There’s a lot of the generation 3 models and an increasing number of the new gen 4 👍
Thanks😃応援してます^ ^
Hi where would I pick up one of the camp fires you have
Hi James. They’re from Etsy. Search TJM metalworks 👍
How would rate those jimnys, fuel economy etc?
Poor to average rating for my automatic. Plus the tank is too small.
That’s actually my only downside of the car. Even the tiny size and fact that it’s not very powerful doesn’t bother me but blink and you’re filling up again 😅
@@GeordieJimny do they do a 1.4 diesel?
Cool ❤️🩹🍃
