no need to put holes in the tarp, just find a round stone or acorn and wrap tarp around it then tie the cord around it, makes a great fastening with no holes needed . its what they used in the stone age

There’s an ancient feeling that when you’re in any shelter and it’s raining it makes you feel so content and relaxed in a shelter. It’s an ancient sense that we have.

If you never try, you'll never know,the experience of trying and learning is...priceless

“Hot chocolate in the pocket - be that person!” 👍🏼😉😁

Nice sound of rain on the tarp👍👍

The sound of rain on top of a tent or any kind of shelter is so relaxing and like ASMR 🌧️ 🏕️

I prefer this type of camping over watching videos that are polished in terms of editing, lighting, and gear, making everything appear brand new and unused. Good job, mate!

Don't rip the plastic, it will just tear in the wind. Find a pebble, rap corner of plastic around the pebble and then you tie the rope over the plastic around the pebble.

Sounds great!

193 Glad the pebble idea was cited. I would put the ridge line high because I prefer a hammock. Fix the tarp to one side of the ridge two - feet off centre and use a second tarp. That would give nine odd feet clear and act as a roof tile so no rain gets in.

Me and my girlfriend watch your videos every night before bed! Your an inspiration we are planning on going camping how you do, in style😎

Dan I love your videos, I am an ex Infantry Man, so I have spent a lot of time in the field, living in a trench, under a poncho etc. I loved that way of life. I'm 57 and after the forces I did a lot of what you are doing, well before it became a big thing. Sadly due to serious health issues those days are over. So watching you brings back so many memories ad feelings. Ignore the haters, keep doing what you are doing, we need more like you, All the best from Pee.

Nice 1 Dan. As I always say haters gonna hate. You'll smash 100k mate keep up the good work 👍

Well done Lad, your video is all about getting out having some quiet Time away from Life, it's not over expensive or highly created and that makes it feel genuine and honest. Continue doing your own thing

Good that you prepare with extra stove fuel, did well in rain n mud without much heat.

🥰🥰🥰 Dude you are gonna get there, good things come to those that wait and have hearts of gold 🤩 Just keep doing what your doing 😍

Nice to see you again today Dan. Love the videos, keep up the good work Pal.

Happy like a pig in mood. I love it

I love seeing the area where you are I have English Blood in Me on my Dad's side and a lot of Swedish Blood on my Mom's😂 side of the Family. Both families are from those places I mentioned Sweden and on my dad's side Wells. from way back in the 1800s when our families joined the Church of Jesus Christ of latter-day saints. A lot of people call us Mormons the missionaries from the church converted us and brought us back to the United States I think it's exciting to watch you in your adventures.

Ignore the haters. I was subscriber when you had less than 10. I went away came back a while later and you’ve grown as a person, adventurer from your early days. You keep doing what you’re doing

Hi Dan mates, honestly, don’t listen anyone who’s bad mouthing it’s only jealousy, keep smashing out these videos. You’ll always get that one numb vegetable everywhere you go. At the workplace, at the footie, down the pub, online …. There’s always one knobber in every scenario. Just brush it off like you just did in this video

I thoroughly enjoyed this video. It was so calming and down to earth. It's just all about sitting back and enjoying nature and the rain. I love it, keep up the videos! ❤❤

Hey Dan don’t put yourself down on this video because as always you did try something different and made it interesting. I loved it as always . ATB Gail from Worcester Massachusetts 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸❤❤❤❤❤🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

I love your channel, Your videos are raw and they show everything just how it happened good or bad, I love listening to you and watching you enjoy your camping, I also love how you have all the gear but decided to use that plastic blue tarp as a tent, It might not have worked the best but at least you gave it a go and you enjoyed it, Keep up the great work 👍

I keep coming back to watch this! Bril video. Loved camping in tents and rain macs folded over bikes as a kid, in the porch. I really need to go out and do this!

I love your videos! You do a great job, you present yourself well. As a grandma with no outdoors experience, I probably won't be sleeping out from choice, but if I ever have to do so, I'll have learned how from your KZread channel.

I think it worked out fine, you had a good time. Thats a successful adventure.

Hi Dan, if you wrap that rope around that tree again bud, when the tree grows, it will grow around the rope and hurt the tree😢. Great camp though, I enjoyed watching as usual 😊. Thank you for bringing us along too.

Love the new/Old logo Dan 👍 Back to basics 😊

Hi again Dan. I have had the same problem with butane gas cans. Some of them, not all of them though, leave gas at the bottom and I can never get it out. I think warming them a little, helps.

Really enjoyed this video. It looked fun! Looking forward to seeing you out again soon

We enjoyed the video. Suggestion, at some point in the future try this again with a bit bigger tarp. And instead of a peak in the center, try an 'L' shape. The longer part of the L of the tarp going from the rope to the ground, slanted away from your back. The shorter part of the 'L' like a canopy over your head and staked out from the corners. As long as tarp is at least as long as your height, then it should cover you well. The length of the tarp to make the L shape should be much longer as the L shape will be your shelter. The longer it is the more shelter you create. You did good. If you are having to bug out and that tarp is all you had, you proved it would make a shelter. It's just it would be a small shelter.

Brilliant video as usual. Thx for the update on Dan. Ignore the haters. Ive just got a Geertop bivvy to try.

Nice video mate, tarps have to be just so and can be awkward when you first try them.

im binge watching u fren and its better than tv

Don’t know about the neg attention you got recently brother, love your channel and the content you provide. Keep it up mate! ⛺️👍💪❤️

That was a very muddy camp. Good to see something a bit different and great to use a sheet that was only meant to cover a metal sheet. Using the rope already there was a good thing too. A couple of people have already said a pebble or acorn tucked into the tarp and the paracord wrapped around it. Great when you can find them but a sharp stone will tear through in a wind. Buttons particularly a large coat button would work put into the corner of the tarp as if it is in a fist and the para cord. Maybe you could have another go with the improv. tarp and use it another way. It looked a bit narrow to keep out rain even with a light breeze. Some people have no respect for the land or other peoples property shame on them.

Just found your channel ,and like the fact that you are using stuff to make camp and making it work. Thats what its about for me not loads of cost before you camp, its more fun using old gear and getting a use from it anyway. Hope you get more subscribers.

Another great video. X

Hello pal, love watching your video. I am doing a sleep out for a charity for the homeless in Cambridgeshire on the 1st March and wondering if I could borrow a decent sleeping Matt and sleeping bag for the night? All in the good cause of raising money for this charity but I don’t have my gear for the night

Love watching your channel Dan because although you might not realise, you pass on lots of useful tips and info during your "ramblings" 😉 I know which facebook group those comments were on, I saw them too and had a chuckle 😂 Love the improvisation with your blue tarp and the rope you found. My first solo wild camp was just me, my dog, a 3x3m tarp and food/drinks. I just kept my clothes on, wore decent waterproofs and lay on the tarp on the ground with 3/4 of it wrapped over me & my dog. It did rain a bit overnight but I was dry & warm wrapped up in my tarp cocoon 😆 Length of daylight is determined by the earth's position in relation to it's orbit around the sun 😉 Keep up the great videos Dan.
