Look for a old book called "the golden book of camping" that will show you how to make some awesome stuff but it's not the cheapest, I got lucky and found a dirt cheap copy that some kid scribbled on the first page

Those are all awesome tents but I definitely liked your homemade one the most, very cool tent!

You buy a tent but you dont need it ..... but when you need it- you have it allready !!!! I have the same illness, love your video !

The canvas Baker tent you made is the coolest tent of all time!

With all those shelters, you should start a music festival. «Simon, a DJ in the woods».

Pleasure mate! Genius bit of kit - quite a few people have been in touch after one of them - can they get in touch via another platform other than IG? 👍👍

How many memories did it bring back setting up all those tent? Each tent has so many stories to tell.

Oh my gosh, Simon. So kind of you to take the time to do this for us. It's like a living tent catalogue! Thank you so much.

Thank you , Simon . 🐺Loupis Canis .

Something decent to watch while we have all this rain! Cheers Simon

3:30 am and my ever present insomnia is kicking my ass, thank god for this. If you knew how much I enjoy these you’d be charging. Great film, and a great selection. Always wanted but it’s impractical S for me. Had a 5m bell for six years and still not had it out of the bag, life has unexpected twists and turns. But the one I envy is still your Baker, I’d love one! Take it easy pal, and thank you, really enjoyed that.

Ahhhh the warm welcoming youtube hug that is Simon. Love your videos, cheers for all your effort. Appreciated

Excellent stuff Simon, great to see some of your tents ⛺️ and how you use them. Great to see Maggie being a willing co presenter as well….🐕‍🦺😂👏🏻👌🏻

Thank you sir. This has helped me tremendously in my selection of tents. How you manage to find such interesting music with all of your time constraints is amazing.

Yea I must say the Baker tent is my favourite, having watch you make and use it on a number of occasions.

I had one custom made from cotton at a tent & awning place. I have not had many tents once a person lives in a baker tent they are not likely to change. 🤠

Ive said it here more than once and will continue saying it. The home built Baker tent is fantastic! I wish I had the skills neccesary to make on of my own! Great job!

@@simonablokeinthewoods I'm just back from 4 days in the wilds of North West Scotland. My garage still has my tent slung over a paracord line drying out - so I'll be sympathising with you in an hour or two as I pack it away and wash up my very manky zebra billy and TJM kit. The midge were just coming out but weren't biting - but I do have concerns that you'll be bitten to death at the time of year you're going. Thanks again for the content. Keep it coming.

LOL, people collect all sorts of stuff, your the first tent collector i know of. Impressive ! And I learned a few things from this vid too, thankyou .

I had a custom made baker tent kind of heavy, I chose Egyptian cotton. a person or even two can live in one comfortable when it rains all day day after day. Now I am 80 yrs old if I get outside I would use a square tarp 3m*3m🤠

Hi Simon, as a native from Scotland, if it were me I would take a tent that pitches as one for your Scottish Trip. Them pesky midges can get everywhere (only females bite) ✌️. The west coast is a stunning piece off the country Ps what’s happening with your subs, the number doesn’t seem to be increasing, does KZread have a problem with your account. I remember in the past you mentioned, you weren’t getting notifications. Come on KZread get your finger out. Great video as always, keep up the good work 👍👍

That canvas baker tent you made is awesome:)

"A selection of tents" you have more .... I have 2, and I think that is 1 to many 😉

Thanks for the new vid Simon - it was great to see Maggie wandering around a bit. Cheers!

As soon as the video plays I click like as I’m so grateful that you do this. :) God bless sir

Interesting stuff as I'm becoming a collector

I am partial to banjo and fiddle music. Great musical accompaniment to a very interesting presentation of your various tents. I particularly like your own homebrewed Baker tent. Looking at your canvass baker tent reminded me of my years as a young boy scout. My boy scout troop back in New York State (I live in Albuquerque, New Mexico now) camped with canvass baker tents. Nostalgia is a very powerful drug! Thanks.

Love your baker tent mate . Kudos

Great video Simon and many thanks to your Dad in law. Hope you got that cuppa!!!!!!

WoW Simon you have quite a collection of tents and bevies but the baker tent you made is my favorite one. Camping in that one looks really comfortable. I’m sure the others are too . Great video once again the drone camera was a little off but we still got the picture.😁

Like your Lavvu tent cosy inside with your wood burning stove. Thanks for sharing tent collection Simon.

Wow!!! Thank you for sharing all these tents!!

Thoroughly enjoyed each setup!! Thank you for sharing!!

I had a Hurricane Alpha I bought in around 1989. After about ten years or so the fly delaminated badly so it ended up in the skip. Great tent in it’s day. Went to Wales intending to do some ice climbing. When we went to bed we were pitched on snow. When we woke in the morning the weather had changed completely and we were camping in a couple of inches of water. We were bone dry though because of the neoprene tub.

Tigersden utterly embodies the 'tarp camper' idea of perfection. -probably why it's sold out every time I look😞. If you need a mountaineering tent then there are designs for that, I'll keep dreaming about the Tigersden because it suits my needs⛺️🏕😍.

Hi Simon no Dutch oven bread this time , man it was a lovely fluffy bread 😁 We went last week to Mackinac Island in the State of Michigan , we had toured the garrison of the British Royal Navy that was established in the early 1800s, and then handed over to the Americans . It was a wonderful trip and I hope that one day you would have a chance to camp in that paradise 👍

Excellent video, Simon! This will be an excellent resource for many of us. Thank you!

Many, many moons ago my father came home driving a brand-new Rambler Station Wagon. And in the back was a brand-new Bakers tent. My mother said that the only reason he bought the wagon was because the tent was included, for FREE! Dad would just grin and laugh. He never denied it though.

Just what’s needed to watch on a Sunday 😊 thanks 🙏

LOVE those Baker's tents!

Fantastic Vlog Simon - Thanks for sharing with us all.

Brilliant Simon. Cheers for the massive effort to make that video!

You definitely have a complete selection of good quality tents for any and all occasions. Thanks for demonstrating these. For a long time now I have maintained a minimum of a small,medium and large tent but I keep finding good deals on quality tents that I just can't pass up. Thanks for making me feel a little less abnormal by having over 10 tents in my collection.

Haha love the whole setup jingle.. Awesome

A nice selection of tents Simon x

great to see what tents you use and have. Thank you for showing them.

Very impressive Simon well done

Cracking detailed vlog. Thanks again for sharing buddy.

Thanks Simon! Tat was interesting to see all those different tents! Cheers!

Great vid, a man of many tents.

Great video mate; something like this has been needed for quite some time . Thanks for sharing ..... Cheers.

When I told my wife I needed another tent, she replied haven’t you got enough tents ? So I showed her this video 😁

Hi Simon. At 1st look, I thought you ran away and joined the circus,,,lol. Great video as always and am in awe of All your tents as I only have one, a Cresent from Gander Mountain. Its a 2 person but I'm the only one in it. Have had it for over 20 years and still looks brand new. As in like yours, it's all in how you take care of your equipment. Cheers from Alabama~

Congratulations for your all gear. Beautiful video and very expressive. Regards fron Colombia.

This episode came at a perfect time for me. I’m looking ahead to a summer of “irregular” housing, due to skyrocketing housing costs in my area, and accordingly, I’m planning on a lot of weekend camping, and kayaking trips. I’ve been considering what to get for a lightweight, durable, affordable tent, and this really helped me settle on a finalist. Thx!

You have one understanding wife! That canvas baker tent was my favourite, what a great looking tent. Similar to my Oztent RV4. Although I dont have a wood burner for my Oztent. Not sure it would be a good idea with 2 dogs! keep the videos coming, they are really good. All the best.

Tent expert too... My daughters think I’m outdoorsy. I sigh, shake my head and think about you and Andy. Texas

That was fun! Making think about my two stored away for too long.

Nice video Simon 👍🏼 the last time I stayed in a canvas tent was when I was in cub scout lol👍🏼🖤

Awesome tents pal 👍

The Baker tent is my favorite one!

Great one Simon many thanks for making it. I did expect to see you set up your tarp tent config, with the extra door you made too. Such a versatile arrangement that. Got our maiden rooftop tent camp coming up, so I’m looking forward to that. All the best Simon. Paul.

Ive slept many a night in a Vango tent was state of the art in its day and would still do anybody proud now. Ali poles and good rain protection. Wind used to pass over and one wouldn't know . Great vid Simon 👌

I still do miss my old two person canvas tent. Now mostly sleeping in my car. 🍻

nice collection Simon

Woweee! It’s such a cool collection!!! I’m in love💜(with the collection) My fave is the canvas which reminds me of my old Girl Scout days

What a choice! That’s a cool gift from Andy the bell tent mate, I keep pestering the wife to get one but she’s not having any of it 😂. I really liked the drone shots over the top too pal. Great choice of tent for Scotland I’d say mate, enough height to sit up in and quick to put up. Top video as always, thanks for the upload 👍

You could be mayor of a tent city!! Love it!!👍🏻
