Love this video, especially the lack of music interfering with the natural quiet, it's wonderful to get a real sense of what it's like in the woods on your own.
I like rainy days in a tent as long as the tent doesn't leak and I don't get wet. The sound of rain striking the tent makes me so very relaxed and wanting to sleep. Great video.
I agree that and the sounds of crickets or the bugs singing me to sleep
Some of the best nights sleep I’ve ever had have been in a tent! And a bonus if it’s raining.
@T J Agreed. Those are the camping trips you remember and always talk about. Rarely does anyone bring up trips with perfect weather and no issues that were dealt with.
rain on the tarp / tent is soo nice :)
Agreed, though one night the rain covered the sounds of a rather large bear trying to remove the door from my truck. I went out for a pee, and nearly pee'd me pants!
Hey I suffer with extreme depression and anxiety and watching your vids calms me down each night before bed, you're an amazing man thank you for your videos.
All the very best xxx
@@nicolab2075 thank you xx
@@gazedwards2741 Seek God brother, He will calm your depression.
I suffer from anxiety. You have no idea how much you help me with your videos.
Hi Andy, sorry to hear that buddy.. ive been there myself and im really happy that the vids help :) I hope you find a way to deal with it buddy
I suffer from anxiety too now I am on pills
Start doing yoga & meditation.
@@mountainrock7382 I hope you find your own way of dealing with it, I escape to the river, got myself a small inflatable and camp on a riverbank or an island I know. Take enough food for that evening and the next morning and forget about everything.
Take care🤘
@@CHEEKYMONKEY1618 that sounds amazing, you just gave me an idea for when I'm feeling stressed or depressed. Thank you Toxic Weasel, I'm going to do this and I hope she does as well. Take care. 😌
This is heaven for me. Outdoors, Truck, tent, rain, fire, woodland and food. Cant beat it
It doesn't matter what you cook, it ALWAYS taste better in the woods...period! Thumbs Up!
You are absolutely right!!
I agree. Being a hiker and after hiking 12-16 miles in a day, the best part is dinner and a liquor drink.
It does matter what you cook
Personally ,,,
I would have eliminated or not have brought Blood pudding or blood sausage ,what ever you want to call it !
I tried that stuff way back in my drinking days when I was hungover one morning and a buddy was frying up some blood sausage ;-((
The smill of it cooking was enough to make ya vomit, truly, a very disgusting menu item. it almost made my stomach do back flips, straight away.
I have to say, it was the most disgusting crap I've ever tried eating.
It just made my hangover worse tbh......
So when I saw buddy frying that up, it gave me an instant flashback of that day,
way back in the mid to late 1980's
If we could only turn the clock back to certain years . I loved the 70's and 80's, it was the best years of my life as a kid growing up in Northern Ontario Canada.
God Bless Y'all

I absolutely loved it. The rain gave this video such ambience. I watched it while wrapped up in my blanket nice and snugged. I enjoyed the weather vicariously through him. There's a lot of bang for your buck with that little tent. It is perfect for the type of weather he encountered.
When you watch Andy's videos you just know he's the kind of guy you'd like to drink some beers with....
Was thinking same thing sound guy isnt he
Andy and haze outdoors would be an excellent watch 👍
I'd drink with him, not sure I'd try to survive with him, SUA SPONTE
Or go camping with. ❤😍
And man he can cook
Thanks Andy for giving me a diversion on a tense day here across the pond.
happy to help Thomas, thanks for watching
I was just thinking the same, it's now the 6th, I was looking for a diversion-I remembered that I had this saved. I am so relaxed now. Thank you for the videos, Andy, I very much enjoy them.
Steady on mate!
When you're too old to build treehouses but you're still a big kid at heart! 😁
Nice set up, great vid as always!
I was thinking the same thing when I saw him set it up. I'm loving it.
Wow! You're going to really get some good use out of that wonderful tent! Great space and the awning is a perfect compliment to your camp setup. So nice to have this weekend getaway option.... ready to go wherever you find those special woodland retreats. ✨
I just wanted to say thank you. I have extreme anxiety, to the point where i cannot function. But your videos always calm me down.
All people anxious have demons inside them. Go get baptize and seek the Holy Spirit & God.
@@missuniverse1000bc no thanks. I'll remain in the land of reality. However, you're free to do whatever you want.
@@relax4999 Then you will keep on suffering eternally like majority right now. God has sent the plague to punish all atheists. The more you resist God, the more you will suffer. Up to you...
@@missuniverse1000bc Go spruike your fairy God stuff elsewhere
@@missuniverse1000bc is it the need for a father that draws you to god?
This guy is really just living his best life.
Nah he's just doing his normal routine his passion is to show you guys also to show you people that its not just him who can do this stuff ✌️
My best life comes after the flesh dies and boy will it be spectacular. You should look into it. Jesus is the way the truth and the life. God bless
@John Bennet he's sick in the head, ignore him.
@@YHWH711 Shawn Clown son read more books you idiot.
@Kevin he certainly appears to really be enjoying it that's for sure.
Andy, you never cease to amaze me with your videos. I think the truck camping series would be a great idea, Thanks for sharing.
Overlanding, sure. Camping, sure. Cooking, sure. Woodcraft, sure. You've got a great channel & enjoy all of it.
Very relaxing trip, thank you Andy for taking us along, I'm still catching up on your earlier videos!!
A man who can face the wind and rain with a smile and a laugh is worth watching. My regards, Sir.
Glad to see the RTT and truck in a video. Can’t beat the luxury of Truck
Camping , Just need a 12v system and compressor fridge for the beer 🍺
First time I have seen a truck roof tent video demonstration. Very impressive, looks extremely comfortable and robust. I would like to see more videos of truck roof tenting...find it very intriguing. Thanks for sharing Andy.
Your smile and being so personable with your videos. Love each video I've watched! Keep going! You make our day!
Been watching your vids for a long time now and have to say a very big thank you as at times find it hard with my metal hell that we all live inn .
So i watch you and how things are so relaxed to the sound of the rain and the birds and the warm for the fire
Big thank u
The rain, birds, wood chopping, tent zipper, it all stirs the soul! And the pop of a beer can is nice as well. 😀
why does he make better food in the woods than i do in my kitchen. LOL
Something in it that make everyone better at cooking while in nature.
Prb its bcs he knows how to cook xD
It's because you can't cook, nevermind him. His tackos, are something out of taco bell. His salsa is closer to pico de gallo, which would be right, for a taco.
To be fair, I'm sure he has a shortage of real Mexicans to show him how it's done.
But damn....
@T J if i was out there with him. and i am not. i would eat his food.
@@rogerminter3599 just appreciate what he does for us he doesn’t have to but he does so be glad
On your truck, you might consider the use of a tool bed, which has outwardly opening storage compartments on each side, as a ready made 'chuck box, water jugs, tool storage and many other capable areas of usefulness. Each door locks separately and the tops would serve as a fine base for your tent topper. They can be had in Fibreglas, perhaps in aluminium also so as to avoid the weight penalty of steel. You can see examples at pretty much any construction or electrical worksite.
Off-roader & roof top tent adventurer here.
I live in the desert (Arizona) so not much rain but a simple road trip and we got into some decent storms yesterday.
I'm really envious of your Ranger diesel. Not many choices for mid size trucks/SUV's here in the US.
I enjoy being off the ground and the ease of set up. Only con I have experienced so far is getting down in the middle of the night to do your business. I also camp with two dogs and they don't climb the ladder....
Enjoying your content. Cheers.
That’s a cracking setup you got there enjoy it if you can you’re gonna have some great times with that
May I know that only the.wind blows,birds tweets,or no other animals roaring in your area.Do you have weapon to defend in case of emergencies?
Gday Andy, thanks for another awesome video.
Here in Australia we do a lot of this type of camping, so I thought I would list a few more items that might make your camping experiences a bit more pleasurable. 1.an AGM auxiliary battery 2. 12v/240v Waeco fridge freezer 3. a string of LED lights 4. a piece of shade cloth the same size as your awning to put on the ground especially good in sandy environments 5. a fold up table but if you are thinking about a chuck box you can incorporate a table into that, check out a website called Drifter that might help you with a design and or give you some ideas, Drifter also have a YT channel 6. a piece of plastic to cover your mattress to stop it from getting wet when you have to fold up your tent when its wet.
With the battery box I have the relay installed inside the box with a Anderson plug that connects to a lead that runs to the start up battery for charging while traveling, once you arrive at your destination you can place the battery box anywhere that's handy for you. The box also has charging terminals built in for when you need to charge from a battery charger as well as lighter sockets and a battery life gauge.
I'm sure with a little research you'll figure out what works best for you, I've already been down this track so I thought I would share.
Happy travels mate 👍🏻🍻🇦🇺
Late to the party here for this video, but great vid as always. Trick with French toast is to lightly toast the bread before you put it in the egg mix. It then holds together better and cooks nicer. Loving the roof tent.
Roof tent looks good, very spacious and the mattress sounds comfy. Home from home! Love that you are away from light pollution and traffic noise. Does anyone else call French Toast "eggy bread"?
I love the way you keep trying new things and move forwards. Life is too short to just keep repeating the same experiences over and over again. Nice shed by the way 😄
That buddy... was epic and thoroughly enjoyed thank you!!! Just made Wednesday evening a whole lot better - loved the set up, can't wait to see more of the same in the future!!! Cheers!!!
Lovely set up....Thanks for bringing us along!
Nice bit of kit.Like how you have your seasoned wood tucked away in your shed. Rain ,rain rain,just like the West coast of British Columbia, .Canada.Really enjoy you show .I am going to have to go out and buy some lamb now. Have not had some in awhile.
I must remember to eat before watching your videos ,it's nearly midnight now and i'm fkin starving.
Yeah, i just had a snack.
Loving the overlanding stuff mate. It’s huge here in Australia. Love the vids, keep them coming 👍🏻
This is a sweet setup for over landing. The possibilities are endless. Way to prevail through the rain, but then again, you must be use to it. Thanks for sharing.
Always a pleasure to watch your videos, you are so at ease in your environment and love what you do.
Andy, you haven’t lived unless you have BACON with the French toast!
Just had this video pop up as a recommendation. Looks like I've found a channel to start binge watching!
Thanks Mark, welcome to the channel buddy
What a wonderful video. I can seriously say it’s one of my favorites on CZcams. It’s nice that I can watch your current ones and go back to see your older ones that I’ve missed. Great job Andy!!
I remember back in the days when he was brand new to YT and was able to respond to every comment. It was pretty cool, I would comment or ask a question and he would be able to answer, but nowadays with so many subscribers, it is an impossible task to answer everyone. I couldn't do it personally, I would feel guilty, like I was ignoring people. Not the actual reality, but that's how it would feel. Love his cooking👍👍
I always like watching your video. You always smile 😃 that the beauty of your video cooking how you set up your tent. Thank you, really injoying it.
Great set up Andy, really like the tent over the bed keeping the height low. Good work👍
More overland trips please when you can😎
Rain, fire,food..I'm in 🙏
A good night sleep, natural organic meals nd nature in full bloom all around. What else will be in heaven. Cant figure more then that.
I really enjoyed this roof top camping Andy. Very enjoyable thank you so much
Great, loads of videos recently, including Sundays! All varied too, nice one Andy, thanks.
Cheers mate, I do like to mix it up haha
When I am leveling my truck to sleep in I usually dig holes to drop the high tires in rather than raising the low side. Makes everything lower and easier to access. Good video and nice setup.
thats actually a really simple solution that I didnt even think of haha, thanks
It works well a lot of the time but I still bring boards to park on in case the ground is rocky.
As big as that tent is I could sckooch around too make it comfy what ever the level of the truck is.
This style hit my eye 😃....love it, the tent with a truck no need to set up on the ground and easy to fold up 👍👍👍
I salute your optimism sir. It’s quite infectious. Love your videos, all the best mate!
I'm thinking about getting a slant horse trailer, without the horse stalls , most have a nice living area in them , Im disabled, so i need something low , no climbing , im in hopes of getting a new trailer, built with more living area, and the horse area modified for my comfort, and storage, I know many places to park for a few days, at times , i need to build a utube channel also, to show off the places ive been, im a disabled truck driver , been to lots of places in USA
You need to check out Bob Wells, CheapRV living. You can get a lot of information from him.
Sounds like a nice idea. Horse trailers are very heavy as I’m sure you know.
That was an absolute pleasure to watch would love to see more of this kind of stuff from you 👍
Love that tent setup! Whatever you use, It’s entertaining to me. Thank You!
No bushcrafting or backpacking, but looks super comfy! And it's always comforting/calming to watch your videos. Nice setup Andy!
Thanks Andy, great vlog.
Just watched Simon before you, my two favourite's!
Very nice!! I liked very much!!
"It's not a tent is a style of life!! "🎉
Happy New Year!! 🎄🌠🎅
French toast looks great. As an American and a Chef, I'll give you a 10 out of 10. Yes, maple syrup goes well with it. I personally like to add a few drops of vanilla extract to the egg and milk mixture. Cheers!
Car camping is as diverse as backpacking or any other type of camping. The "tent on top of SUV" sub- sub-genre is an evolution of sleeping on top of your camper van, school bus, or camper shell during the seventies. It seems a natural for use in places where it rains all the time.
You will have to change your channel name to "Kent Luxuriating" with this new acquisition!
Kent: Glamping in the woods
@T J lol. I know. I was playing word games against his mate Simon's channel 😉
As I get up there in years. .. the "cushy" factor is ok with me. There's a TIME for every season.
Good to see this pop up today. What a lovely, instant camp. Try adding a touch of vanilla extract to your French toast in the future. Hi from Texas.
...and maybe a sprinkle of powdered sugar. (also from Texas) ☺️
Thanks :) I did read to add vanilla, ill give it a try next time.. and there will be a next time! :)
Vanilla and regular white sugar from Texas too
Spatter some honey or syrup on it and eat it like a pancake, no need for powered sugar, also good when made with raisin bread.
Donna Cox, Well, just a sprinkle of sugar for me nowadays. In fact lately I’ve taken to eating pancakes sans maple syrup. Ghastly, right.
Thanks for the video, Andy.
A suggestion: get a small spirit level from the pound shop and keep it in the car. Put it on the dashboard or centre console when you park, to see if it's pitched level. That's what I used to do with the campervan. Set the levelling ramps against whichever wheels needed them, then drive up onto them whilst watching the spirit level.......
Hi Andy , love your storm camping , it always looks like you enjoy them.
Great video Andy! This's my dream to be able car camping and overlanding anywhere, do some overnight fishing and stuff, and not wake up with a broken back sit-sleeping haha.
I wish one day to get a suitable care for this! Thank you for sharing, I really enjoyed it and would like to see more of these, it's nice to variety a bit from time to time with the videos.
🤔 Roof tents are available nearly for any type of car 😉
@@anneli1735 I guess, but in my area someone will still it or the weather will kill it. Plus it's super expensive, probably cost like my whole car, LOL.
Love the constant positive attitude ✅
You should have record the rain sounds. Lots of people watching that kind of videos to sleep. 😃
That audio of the rain was gorgeous. I enjoy a Good Rain Sound. It's Comforting. God Bless
That setup is Kool. I would like more videos with you using this setup. I also want to see you camp out in the wood shed in the summer, put Mosquito netting inside.
Gotta sprinkle a bit of powdered sugar on that french toast next time bro. It’s a little bit of heaven!
Don't look now, but you've just become an RV'er. Next stop 40' diesel pusher class 'A'. lol.
Very much enjoying your videos. I feel like I'm going camping without even leaving the house! The rooftop tent is a very good idea. All the food you cook always looks so delicious.
Very nice set up, solid FORD chassis, rooftop tent is an awesome piece of kit. Have fun, go Offroad, eat well
I'm Muneeb from Pakistan, really enjoying video, lovely. 😍
Thanks Rana
Chal be
From India 😂😂😂😂
Nice setup
You are really a lucky man, also wish to live a life like you, amazingly beautiful videos about woods and nature, like that👍👍👍👍👍👍
It's your videos do what you want to do and be happy. You can't please everybody .so do what you love
Hi how are you today, I'm watching you on CZcams on my TV and I like that tent is up high is nice cuz it's up high and stuff and I've been watching your camping show on CZcams for guess a couple of months now but on my TV but I just subscribed it on my phone ,you and this one guy with the two dogs one of them dog's name is Monty I like watching y'all camping shows keep them up thank you
Lol
Yay Monty!
Thanks :) certainly nice being up off the ground haha
THAT is the MOST delicious loooking TOAST!
The more nice food I discover.. the bigger the clothes I have to buy haha
I can't wait till spring when I can go out again videos like this recharges my battery thank you 👍👍👍👍👍
As someone from Southern California the rain and the nearby stream is what’s killing me the most....well that, and everything else. Looks like great fun, like a treehouse without a need for trees. Cheers.
I have friends in southern states USA who do this with others in clubs Trail riding and campers.
Isn’t that called “glamping” 😅
Check out bug out vehicles uk, they do some cool trips over here :)
Masya Allah
Very Good Place
This is really cool. I like the idea that the floor of the tent is up off the ground and not lumpy on the cold ground.
Nice one. Cooking in the woods is real inspiration.
Tacos, Beer, and a pick up truck. Sure he’s not American? Lol
Don't be jealous because we know how to have a good time all of the time 😎 .....lol
Right??
Maybe his a bushee
Simon Ese. Mexican style. Saludos.
Looks like you need a center pole for your tarp, for in the case of heavy rain
Excellent mobile camp setup.
Seemed quite functional.
Great video , no dopey music, I see pickup trucks around with these and now I know what they are all about
Tacos need cheese!
I thought the same! Being from the south, that’s the only thing that got me. Still looked delicious!
haha, I was thinking cheese or sour cream, both seemed indulgent :p
He's English, it's fine.
Everything needs cheese
@Spencer Rees heretic!! 😉
I love that truck and the tent it’s what every man needs to get away Keep up the good content
A little vanilla extract,maybe some sugar in your eggs and milk for French toast and a dollop of butter with the maple syrup when they’re cooked,is nice too
So much 'in' in the title lol.
Nice video, but a question here, never tried truck roof tent before because my weight over 220 pound, is it possible with my weight?
🤔 Actually that’s not an issue - pretty regular weight for roof tent nomads 😉 there are so many roof tents available on the market fitting the majority of different needs 😁 Just check it out! I do love my roof tent and traveling around independently ☺️
Thanks... I don't know my weight in pound... I don't think I want to know either lol I think the tents are probably fine for most but there are a lot of different racks and mounts that will vary for sure.
Nice trip and setup Andy 👍 Looking forward to more trips and videos and an RTT for my Amarok one day 🍺 Cheers
tacos with no cheese.. sacrilegious
I thought the same ha ha
My thoughts exactly... Lol
Plus no fajita spice on the taco wraps.
Anytime i use a wrap i always rub the outside with fajita spice and give it a quick grill. Fantastic flavour.
haha, I thought cheese and sour cream was a bit greeting :p
Fantastic woodland videos ,,,,, love your new truck tent and cooking ,,,,,,,,,,,, Dan from Ireland ,,,,,,,,,,
Thank you so much Andy for sharing this. I am a recent subscriber and wanted to express how much I am enjoying your Vlogs, they are informative, inspirational and I find them relaxing, especially setting up camp, your fire and food making.
I really love that truck tent set up, it offers many opportunities and storage solutions. It's almost like a trailer tent / campervan hybrid hehe. Be safe, be well and take care Andy, all the best for 2021.
Nice camping setup, like the rooftop tent and awning, great for when it does rain, peace my brother.
I kept waiting for dude to clear the ground under the fire... that is one thing Id never forget because leaves dry quick w heat and could catch.
Cute tent set up and I like that its above ground... the awning... idk about that... especially since he had the fire under there... but seems like it works... hope those chiles had some heat lol... great little video all in all. Tacos, beer, and fire along with camping= happiness!
Hi nice to chat with you wanted to send you a message yeah. I am Michael from United States Colorado. I am English and Irish-american. I overland as well at different States in America. And I appreciate and like your meal that you prepare, there a lot as I do. The tacos I make almost similar. And is well as the lamb and veggies. Anyways thanks for your videos your time and effort. Keep him coming their most appreciated God-bless keep going.
Hi Michael, thanks very much :) id love to visit colorado one day, beautiful country, youre very lucky.
The sound of that rain was so nice!
Thank you for advising . Great tent . Perfect grill .
I loved it, I was living through it in my heart, Camping in the rain is my element . Thank for everything
I sometimes camp just next to my truck out in the Oregon woods, rather than backpack or take the camper trailer. I get a feeling like I imagine folks used to get about their horses, of comfort knowing it's there with all my stuff that I could possibly need. Very calming. It's a nice way to go.
Absolutely the best camping and campfire cooking videos on You Tube
