back everybody to a very wet new zealand  in the summer it's warm but it's wet and we're   back with brucey and tony hey bruce we're going  camping come on then okay very simple this time   i've got a tarp and it's only four by three  not not huge and i've got a pop-up tent which   i've never used before so this should be a  quick setup for a change so let's do this so oh okay that was pretty painless i have to say now we've  got shelter all the rain is flowing that way   because we're on a bit of a high spot here and  i don't want water to build up behind the tent   um so all the rain is flowing down uh and  that will channel away over the top of the car   there's a little bit of pooling going  on that i might need to fix this   might just be because i've got that lid  up which i don't need up to be honest yeah the water seems to flow away no problem i could put another one here temporarily just to take some pressure off of this one because that's about as  tight as that's going to go yeah so let me put another one here oh perfect yeah it's all flowing away nicely excellent bruce just doesn't mind lying  out in the rain he's mad okay good stuff i think now we can do our pop-up tent now this tent isn't very big so oh mind the top bruce soaked  more soap than we already are that might do it okay so for this we're using   the coleman two-person pop-up tent i think  they do this in a three person as well as usual comes with completely useless guys off the top bruce oh good boy mind out bruce come over here come behind me let's get the fly on just in case that was easy easiest tent i've ever set up okay quite pleased with that well we'll see how waterproof that is i'll tell you what that was painless   if you're in a hurry lucy you're standing  under the water if you're in a hurry that's got to be the way to go of course  we've got to see how weatherproof it is   because rain will blow in he shakes on it he's wet   it's a two person tent you can get this in three  person and now i wish i had got it in three person   because it looks tiny well we shall see  hopefully it'll be okay fingers crossed i'm soaked i think i need to get some dry clothes on and not not venture out anymore right gonna get some dry clothes on umbrella very handy so the  ground is absolutely saturated every step every step you take just it's all soaked so what i will do is i'm hoping my  chair doesn't sink into the ground sorry bruce yeah okay um all right let's get food get a treat for bruce bruce he wants his treat so for bruce's treat we've got a beef bone bruce loves the beef bones  don't you i know go on then you can take that it's yours bruce do you want it thank  you everyone who's brought us treats   on buy me a coffee uh that's exactly what  he gets do you not want it should i take it he's taking his time with it wants to  know if there's anything else as well   it's so greedy but he will get into that okay oh what time is it gosh it's almost 6 p.m i'm not going to put my dinner on yet  but i do need a cold refreshing drink   so got to go to the fridge always bring an  umbrella with you makes life so much easier go to the fridge this is my brass monkey fridge just get a cold drink so i've got a fridge section   and freezer section it's pretty cool  i'm going to grab a couple of these out and that is plugged in to  my battery bank over there   excuse me it's my i4 way power bank over there oh man it is coming down and it is so humid oh i'm gonna have to roll as  unattractive as this is doing this i have to roll my trouser legs up touchdown i need a zesty drink oh yeah great setup i don't know  what this is going to be like   it's water on it already for my  bruce has been shaking all over it   and there's water on the edges just where it might  be blowing in a bit this is not my big tarp this   is just a 4x3 i've also got a 6x4 which is what  i used last time which is enormous very heavy   much much heavier than this because this  is so light this flames creed one um   it's just easy to use very  easy to use i think i need to the mixtures aren't biting doesn't seem to be  any samples i guess that's because it's raining   um but i have sprayed i do  see a couple of sand flies   if i start getting bitten  then i'll light the thermacell ah so here we go this was an  impromptu one my wife anne was going off to go to a uh i can't remember  yoga yoga thing and uh i thought right i'll   quickly grab this night to come out to one of  the nicest spots i tried to go to the other spot   that i usually go to but there was so much rain so  much water that it would be too dangerous to cross   um the ford the water was flowing it  wasn't so much that it was really deep   it wouldn't have got much above  the wheels but it was so fast   so fast if i was with someone else with another  car then i would yeah no problem but when you're   by yourself you think twice about these things  especially when you're responsible for bruce here   um yeah so i thought twice about that just didn't  do it so it's chucking down and i'm bone dry oh i just got flicked on how did that happen oh this thing flicks the toggle is flicking as the water falls off it so what i need to probably do is weight it down oh that works there you go that's better okay happy days right so i've got a few errands  i've got to do i've got to set up my   eperb because there's no mobile phone signal  here so yeah emergency locator beacon set that up my garmin inreach mini that will talk to my phone and then i  can let ann know that i'm safely at camp not much else i need to do now i will light up a thermoself so with these thermocells we've got the gas in and you just light it until you see the flame   okay and then that will heat  the pad give off a whole load of fumes that will get rid of all mosquitoes  and midges i've got two of those   just in case it gets windy  and i want to move them around i have one on each side don't want to wasp a yellow jacket here  oh there is a little bit of a breeze oh this is always the conundrum i  always have this do i lower the tarp the thing is i like looking out i like  looking up so i don't really want to lower it you're enjoying your bone bruising yes i am okay i'm gonna get my kitchen prep set  up and everything come back to you then   welcome back everybody okay so for dinner i'm  going to use the weber again um whatever you call   it q mini something like that i've got a special  roasting thing in there i forgot my other plate um you meant to use two grill plates in here and i  forgot the other one hopefully it'll be all right   so let's get this thing cranking because oh hold on here we go going it's just starting up okay so i need this  to get up to temperature and for dinner i've got danish roast beef a whole roast beef and  i'm cheating kiwi roast mix so this is a   combination of roast potatoes pumpkin kumara  and carrots um all you do is you just cook   it it's already washed already chopped you  just roast them that's it simple as that all right so let's get this  thing up to heat get it cranking i don't know what it's doing but it's not behaving   i don't know if that's just because  it's a brand new gas canister or not it might be hmm don't know what's going on with it   it is lit it's just not giving me the full flame  not seen this before i haven't had this long oh yeah here we go it's going maybe there's like stuck air  air in there or some air pocket okay right so we need to keep that  cranking for about 15 minutes so bruce is just he's in charge he's wandering  around so 15 minutes so come back to you then while we're waiting for the web to get hot i've just realized something i've made a  mistake um no bruce you're soaked don't lay down   good boy the tent's only got one door and this  isn't it it's the other side that's in the rain i wonder how many of you are watching this that  know this tent and go you've got the door on the   wrong side the door is on the wrong side well you  know what i don't hide anything mistakes happen so it's easy to rectify let me move  you out the way for a little bit   okay so the beauty of self-supporting tents is  you can just unhook them and turn them around i'll quickly do it while it's only gently  raining so i don't get absolutely soaked oh i wasn't paying any i got wet oh no  um oh i'm making all sorts of mistakes oh god ah got rain going down the butt crack what's an idiot oh and now of course the side that i thought oh   i've kept it all nice and dry  now is going to be soaking wet right so yes there's only one door  which never even occurred to me well it gives us a good opportunity to  look at the underside of the tent it's dry okay and just like that just like that sorted okay that wasn't too hard  it's just that the door area is soaking wet   i've just noticed something that looks very wet where the  seam is that's not a good sign   and these zips do not look like  they could take much water oh boy definitely said it was a waterproof tent oh fingers crossed it's gonna be okay   and the reason i'm trying this pop-up tent  is because i got so many requests to try it i don't think i've had as many requests for a  type of tent to test and i have a pop-up tent   okay admittedly not necessarily this one but still the ground is just oozing water ah okay um right let me show you what i'm  talking about here as to why i'm a bit nervous   so i'm a bit nervous because this is very  dark and that's where the seam sealing is   so what i'm assuming is the water and there  is water in there look i'm assuming the water   is getting caught in the seam ceiling so the seam  sealing should be doing its job i just don't like   the zip zip doesn't waterproof at all i think  we're gonna have to have a look just to see if it's leaked how do you get into this thing okay zips ah here we go ah interesting okay so there's a mesh panel   oh there's water in there there is water  in there but i might have just done that okay let me roll this up and come back to you   okay right there's a few drops of water in here  but i think i just did that opening the door otherwise it's bone dry there's  a lot of seam sealant everywhere okay well fingers crossed it's okay  the seams aren't leaking it's dry here   dry all around the edges so it  looks like it's doing its job and yeah it's got that mesh at the top okay   we should be all right so that's good news tent's  not leaking um and yeah i had no idea that there   was only one door so the water that's in there  uh is just from when i just rolled the door up if this if it rained you wouldn't want to this tent doesn't  have a lip or anything the fly doesn't   come all the way down so you'd have  to have a tarp over it definitely   it's good for concerts and  things like that i reckon okay so let us put everything on i know bruce is gonna want this blood oh look at that save that for him so i'm just  gonna season it with with salt you could just roll it around in it okay good to go all right let's put everything in let me move this back a bit okay that's hot okay now i'm not going to put the  veggies in yet i'll put those on   about 15 minutes turn this down to roast do that for an hour 8 o'clock cool all sorted wet wipes always have wet wipes with you and kitchen roll right we give bruce that little bit of blood and bruce also has because it's his dinner time  i'm not going to make it and wait for mine oh   he has got some special food that is  in the fridge so he's got gym bows lamb good stuff smells like lamb yeah because he'll be starving  because it's his past is dinner time that again is a lot of food for him that's so  heavy right let's feed brucey go on the bruce see how quickly he finishes this  i'm certain it'll be seconds he's so quick oh he's taking his time more with this one right while he's eating that i'm going  to put his food back in the fridge that was quick bruce even for you that was quick so so so oh this is already starting to smell  unbelievable can you see brucey just   sitting out there in the rain it's lying down in  it it's playing all right let's add the roasts   now i don't think i should chuck all of this on  this is a lot there's a lot of food here but then   again i could cook it all and take it back in  the fridge which i think is what i'm gonna do that's um that's a lot of veg maybe too much all right let's rush that sucker i'll come back to you in   45 minutes look at him i don't know if you can  see him over there let's see if i can zoom in   where he is can you see him he's just  oh he knows we're talking about him just playing in the rain bruce doing what bruce does oh now he's going  to make a little bed that's what he's doing   he digs it up and then lies down it   it's because we're talking about him but he stops  he's going to come and lie under the car now   right come back in 45 minutes okay we've got  just over 10 minutes to go it's got a bit chilly   got the old ap camping hoodie on feel much warmer  now um so in the spirit of cheating which is let's   be honest what i've been doing i've got to make  some gravy so i bought some usually i'd make it   but i just can't be bothered so i've got  some bisto char grilled beef and r riverina   merlot gravy and it actually looks pretty good  we're gonna do is heat up so what i'm gonna do   is put it in the kettle and then put the kettle in the weber that should heat it up nicely it's a lot of  cheating going on tonight but you see i thought keeping in the spirit of the pop-up tent  make everything as simple as possible looking good okay pop the lid on put that in the webber except  there's not enough room we'll make it work hey all right come back in 10 minutes  and hopefully we've got everything ready   right it's time let us see what we're dealing with   so i've turned it right down this is boiling which  is good so we need to take the gravy off the heat had a carrot it's stuck to the underside  well bruce will eat those all right   we've got colors we've got all  sorts of stuff going on here   so let's see what we're dealing with i'm gonna  take it off and carve it see if it's ready okay let's get the meat off fingers crossed this is done i'm  going to turn the barbecue off keep all that warm let us see what this looks like oh my goodness it does not  get oh look how juicy that is oh it is dripping with juice  this is absolutely perfect again the weber has just delivered so i want to take this juice and  i want to pour it into the gravy oh spilling juice i need to quickly pour this in the gravy that smells good that gravy yep that works oh gravy's so hot of course we'll give bruce a little bit as well he's he is looking but he's had his dinner mustn't overfeed him no matter what the trolls say okay more juice quick okay gravy looks good especially mmm mixed with the beef jew all right okay i think it's time to plate up i'm  gonna chop a little bit up here for brucey   but not much because he's had loads already  so this is just for him just a little snack okay let's plate up oh this smells amazing okay got some veggies in here bruce is waiting for the word come  on then bruce you want your treat it's in your bowl go on them just a little lick okay let's tuck into this hmm that was worth the wait vegetables aren't bad not bad at all  considering they looked awful that is good who says you can't eat well when you  go camping who says you've got to   have just rehydrated meals and stuff no eat  proper food you'll feel much better for it hmm and usually i put garlic and thyme  and things like that on the roast but   i knew i was going to give bruce some  you can't have garlic kind of onions   so i've toned it down basically  to just salt seasoning the gravy is average i'll definitely  make a better one than that but this was about easy good food but easy just like the tent easy i mean you saw me set that thing up it's like  that on the packet says less than 10 seconds but   it opens in like two three seconds okay you've  got to peg it down it takes a few seconds but i wouldn't advise using this  in the rain without a tarp overhead main reason for that is there's no vestibule   and when a tent doesn't have a vestibule it's  quite difficult to keep the rain out of it   and this i think would just get soaked inside  you'd have to towel it all off and dry it   but then every time you wanted to go outside  again toilet whatever it would just be a mess i probably could have done the beef for five minutes less but it is very good i'm going to take my time with  this you might have seconds come back to afterwards for a cigar right with my cigar i'm gonna have a hot chocolate now this is i took the handle off my  tranjer oh that's hot turn that off a second   i took the handle off my tranjer kettle  to put it in the barbecue in the weber nest cafe no no it's not it's  greg's cafe gold hot chocolate this is pretty good actually and bruce is a bit triggered i don't know why   he's running around and i sit and have the cigar  you'll probably see him running around behind me   i'm going to put his collar on  soon so i can see him clearly that will definitely trigger him oh i know  why he's triggered because the lights are on   i've got the camera light on ah everything is just   sopping i can't the ground is so soaked  luckily we're on a high spot up here   but it's obviously been raining for i guess it's  been raining for four days four days maybe five   so everything is saturated it's amazing yeah it  doesn't always rain in new zealand i mean where i   live here it's a very sunny place but we've just  had just the weirdest rainstorms really weird   can't explain it don't know what's going  on anyway cigar time kettle is boiled nothing like a hot chocolate to warm you up i was chilly earlier oh ah down that dinner was great but i'm definitely ready  for my cigar let me just put bruce's collar on   first come around here bruce yeah good boy  we just put your collar on yeah here bruce where is it there you go go on there good boy so  you might see him run around behind   so we are having a romeo julieta casador casadores is it casadoras yes it is oh which is quite a strong quite a strong cigar oh boy he's triggered so so again thank you everyone who's bought  uh bought us treats for myself ambrose um   i get cigars with them bruce gets doggy treats  he's got so many uh and he's loving them   also he gets uh really good camping food as well  like uh the lamb or the beef and stuff like that   so it's a really good treat for him he doesn't get  that stuff at home because he can't have that all   the time he's on a special diet so this is really  just a treat um yeah so the camp set up i like it   what i like about this pop-up tent so far  i honestly wish i'd got the bigger version   but what i like about it so far is it's quick  there was no hassle i just threw it out and   it was up that was it done if you're  doing a quick camp or quick car camping   and you've got a tarp or it's not going to rain  this would be superb if it's not gonna rain   you just need this tent perfect if it's gonna  just be like the odd shower this will probably do and if it's spring or summer you can actually take  this cover off you can roll it back and it's it's   this mesh all the way around it you can look up at  the stars yeah superb good idea but it's just so   simple a concept i don't know how waterproof  it will be but it didn't seem to leak so yeah good going are you watching me listening to  me or watching him he's so entertaining isn't he ah a few things have been going on um oh my cat my my lamps have come on i don't  know if you can see that see that i've got   four of these around the tent i'll show you later  when it's really dark they look quite nice these   little solar lanterns yeah a few things have been  going on um particularly with supply chain issues   all around the world and in new zealand and  it's really starting to get on my nerves   just shipping is taking forever for anything   i've been contacted by a couple of  manufacturers that want me to try their gear   i said sure send them to me no sign of them you  know even after a couple of months nothing so   they're stuck on a ship and they just can't get  here it's crazy and imagine what happens in china   uh if kovid gets through the you know in china  it breaks out and they stop producing stuff   incredible it will be a really big issue i  think so yeah supply chain crisis problems   don't know what we're gonna do um that  oz trail that my last car camping i did   uh in the oz trail stretcher queen tent had  some issues leaked and australia were fantastic i uh i reached out to them they watched  the video they saw the issue they said can   you please send it back to us we'd like  to test it and we'll send you a new one   so i said no problem and then a day later or two  days later they actually said look we've spoken to   the manufacturer we found we've identified  the problem and it's a manufacturing fault so they cancelled the tent  they've stopped them all and so they're going to go back and fix the  manufacturing floor and hopefully add ventilation   because i said there were no vents on the top  they said we'll take that seriously and we'll   we'll talk to production team and we'll really try  and get it done and so they gave me a full refund   and they're going to send me a brand new tent  to i guess try i think they said maybe august   but again who knows they're made in  china if koved runs rampant in china   then nothing's coming out of there it  will be everything will grind to a halt so if you want your camping gear ready  for summer in the northern hemisphere man i would buy it now if  you can find stuff in stock   go and buy it now because you won't be able to  buy it when you really want it coming to summer   or you know mid spring or something you will not  be able to find any camping gear at all because it   will just be impossible to get it unless it's  made in the country you're in and even then   who knows because the supply chain affects so many  things the hilleberg tents that i use you can't   buy them anywhere they're completely sold out and  i think the next ones aren't due till april june so my advice is whatever you  need for camping in summer   on the northern hemisphere go get it now  don't wait you won't be able to get it big delays it just keeps getting worse and worse so i'd be interested to hear in the comments  if there's anything that you've ordered   or tried to get you just can't get it and  you've been waiting and waiting and waiting i heard from um another youtube channel  i was watching today uh canadian prepper   it's a prepping channel i don't take them  that seriously it's just interesting stuff   and he's been offered same as me he sells this  russian bear tent and they sent me one to test   and again mine is stuck somewhere i don't know  where and he said today that he said he sells   them he says he's ordered them i think 200 of  them or something and they're all stuck on a ship   in a port and he's paying port management fees  it's been there two months can't get them off   the ship that's in canada or america i don't know  which but um wow can you imagine the stuff that   is just backed up and then what happens if we  go on and and something else happens like war   what happens if they're a war  if there's one war or two wars   who knows couple invasions  might happen you just don't know because i'll tell you if  anything happens to taiwan well that's all your microchips  nothing will get made so we could be heading for a really weird time and it could really put a massive dent in  consumerism because even kovit didn't put a   dent in consumerism what it did is it converted  it to just buying it all off amazon and just   making jeff bezos even richer yeah everything  went online but if there's no products to buy   then even that's not gonna work and  you go on to some sites now and you   just see there's nothing no stock  and no sign of when stocks will be   available again especially for electronics  that use semiconductors nothing no stock so yeah i'd be interested to hear  what stuff you've been trying to get   and you just can't like food  even shelves running bare for the first time since covid started um i  noticed some bare shelves here in new zealand   panic buying i don't know supply chain crisis  i think i think people isolating with kovid so good's just done getting shipped out   i've i've ordered a power bank from auckland  which is on the north island of new zealand   if you order something from there it should arrive  next day day after no idea where it is it's stuck   in the shipping warehouse in auckland still  they haven't even updated the tracking number   so things are going weird they really are and i  don't know if that's just here or anywhere else he's he's so triggered with  his uh collar loves his collar yeah such weird times i've got to show you what these lights look like  with the tent looks so nice now i don't know if   you can make that out but look at them i mean  obviously you can see bruce running around like   mad but then they look nice little flickering  lights just to add a little bit of ambience so yeah strange times tell you what these romeo  julieta casadores they do go out quite easily i think they're just a bit too humid so  it's it's about 100 humidity here right now   it's really really disgusting hot chocolate what else has been going on  beijing olympics winter olympics   haven't got a clue what's going on in that no clue  i haven't seen any press coverage for it at all   so i guess nobody really cares um i guess all the  rules and restrictions and censorships and things   like that have really put people off the whole  thing so that's been a bit of a nothing burger   yeah which is a shame you  know because these athletes   they uh work so hard trained so hard for so  long and then nobody watches and nobody cares yeah oh another thing i want to mention uh comments  comments from you guys been fantastic honestly   i don't know what to say i am so grateful for all  of the interaction so because there are now i have   so many videos out um and of course getting more  subscribers and more views i get something like   i don't know almost 2 million 2 million views  something like that 2 million views a month   more than that every video now produces something  like 600 comments so i am struggling to respond to   any comments now it's and to balance a work you  know a home life i can't just sit there all day   on the computer just responding to comments  so what i do now is i just read the comments   yeah i do read the comments i just don't have time  to respond yeah i'm so sorry i think what i need   to do is a couple of live streams occasionally  a month just to answer people's questions   because i do get a lot of questions but my biggest  piece of advice to people to ask questions about   gear or whatever is check the description first  check the description because i see so many   questions where i've answered the question or the  gear or whatever it's listed in the description   and people just don't look at the description  to find anything out so usually it's there and   usually i put links to stuff if if you can  buy it online then i'll put a link to it and i buy everything myself pretty much   pretty much everything myself i think i've got  a few items here from one tigress this table a couple of things but i bought this  bought this on amazon a while ago   months ago i got this pop-up tent oh no actually  i got it in new zealand but months ago the tarp   chair gear cooking equipment the weber everything  else cigars saw your treats i buy everything see what i mean about goes out quickly i bet  someone's got a solution to that but i think   they're just a bit too moist my cigars and  i need to change the settings in my humidor the reason i buy everything myself and  it costs a lot to keep buying all this   stuff i mean i've got four hilleberg tents  now i pay top dollar for each one of them   direct from hillberg they don't  give them to me free no way   tents from north face this tent everything  sleeping bags pads everything i by myself the   reason i do that is so i can give a genuine  review i feel if they've given it to you um and yeah sometimes you can give a real review  like i've had stuff given to me and i've   given a real review especially one tigress  whatever and they appreciate the feedback   even if it's negative and i am harsh  i'm a perfectionist on this stuff but beware reviews where um here comes the rain beware of reviews where just everything seems  perfect just make sure they've declared in advance   that they receive no compensation whatsoever  from the manufacturer of that piece of equipment none a commission a talk you know even if they  get a 10 commission or something like that   uh how many tents have sold or whatever   just make sure okay there's a lot of stuff going  on right now in this verse the outdoor channels   some arguments happening it's caused all  sorts of problems that didn't need to happen and if someone is getting paid for something  uh then uh they're meant to declare it on the   youtube at the beginning it's going to come up  saying this contains paid content yeah obviously   affiliate links are different because you're  not so much you're getting paid you just get a   little bit of a commission and it's obvious it's  an affiliate link when you put it in there but it   you know it's not always affiliate links sometimes  uh people are helping design stuff as well and   they get a cut but they just don't declare it so  be careful with that get full disclosure always   and just be careful what you believe in  reviews make sure there's no hidden agenda he's out there lying in the rain charging around   wet dog do you know what a  wet dog is like in a tent it's brutal really is brutal that's why i've got  his dog towel this microfiber towel so this setup   i do like it this four by three meter tarp this is  um i think this is flames creed yeah it is flames   creed it's very light it's ultra light it's dwr  treated i do like it it's not probably that strong   i'm sure it could get damaged quite easily i've  got a three by three meter version of this that   i used two camps ago and it filled up with water  because i went to bed and i didn't really check   everything and in the morning there's that much  water in the middle of the tarp and it's ruined   the tarp it stretched it yeah my fault um it's  not manufacturer's fault at all that was mine   but i do like it and i bought these on amazon uh  they're good the aqua quest types are very good   you can get those on amazon as well but the aqua  quest one that i have that's 6x4 is so strong   i think it's the defender series so strong but so  heavy it's so huge it's a massive thing to set up if there are more of you or you've got a much  bigger tent and you want to put the whole thing   under the top that's the way to go the six  by four meter tarp it's pretty incredible   what i really like is a good car camping tarp i know that nature height do one i'm just not convinced it's  big enough for what i want   so if i'm going to get a specific car car camping  tarp and a car camping one you should be able to   drive out and reverse back in no problem whereas  this one i'm sort of wedged on the uh on the car yeah it should be big for me what else oh more importantly than anything yesterday was my son brandon it was  his birthday 17 yesterday   happy birthday monkey 17 years old as i said a  couple of videos ago he passed his driving test   um he's got his car it was his birthday  present he paid for some of that as well   so brandon was oh and you know what it's chinese  new year or it was chinese new year last week   brandon was born in hong kong  and was the chinese new year baby   he was born at one minute past midnight so he was a lucky baby it's pretty cool pretty cool very proud of  that that he's chinese new year baby i really   really liked that and so he  was quite famous in hong kong   um we were in the newspaper and everybody knew  who he was there's a baby and they all wanted to   see him and weirdly try and touch him which is  that got out of hand but yeah happy birthday right i am going to take my time with the cigar sit and listen to the rain and  i'll come back to you at bedtime i've got my little led insect catcher fly catcher mozzie catcher running  just sitting on top of the camera it's drawing   all the moths in and it's got a little fan in it  and it sucks them down as they go into the light   it's working pretty well it's keeping them  off me anyway and they should be trapped in   that little basket underneath i'll empty that  out in the morning and see how many we call cool little device well it's bedtime oh it's warm in here i've got the fan going i'm  gonna probably have to crank that a bit more   it's still raining slightly nothing much yeah i wish i got the three-person version  of this but there is just enough room in here   for my therm-a-rest pad and bruce on his bed he's quite hot i'm gonna aim the fan at him  soon sweet calms down isn't that right brucey yeah um there's lots of venting in  here the whole upper layer is mesh   but it really only leads to this sort of one big  mesh window here you can see it's it's not huge   and then out there is the truck and i've got my  blue light i don't know you can't really see it   but it is trapping insects so you can actually  roll the whole of the top of this away   uh if you wanted to but i can't  really because rain might blow in you can see that i'm just  touching both ends of this so i think the three three person just get the  three-person version because it it's for car   camping it's not for backpacking so you might as  well get the bigger one but i think with this fan   it's gonna be okay yeah i'm tired  all right everybody i don't think   anything's gonna happen the middle night so  i'll see you in the morning night everybody night bruce morning bruce hey morning oh morning everybody morning bruce that was a hot night's sleep   there's quite a bit of condensation in here  but there always is on single skin tense i had the fan cranking all night but eventually  it died because i forgot to recharge it silly but we're dry and kept the insects  out oh let me let bruce out hang on go on there oh it's wet outside oh wow i'm so happy that this tent  didn't leak on this side   oh sorry but mainly i'm happy  that this is gonna be a quick   breakdown of this tent just wrap it up and throw  it at the back of the car it'd be brilliant right   i am in urgent need of a coffee and i've got a  feeling we're gonna have to put the thermacell on and it might be a bit chilly  out there so let's get to it ah mind out bruce move move bruce oh right let's see how many  flies and moths and things   my little uv light is collected  so what you do is you close it so i'll tell you straight away  there's no way this will hold   sand flies that mesh is too small  wow there's a lot of moths in there   yeah so now we've got to find a way to empty  it oh here we go right so a lot of moths might   fly out now way look at that wow all the  moths there's thousands of them be free wow that really worked that's amazing  what a cool little contraption that's a great idea so it  definitely kept the moths off oh that's so cool so yeah it sort  of traps them the fan comes on   it sucks them in and then it traps them in this  little container and then when you finish you   just seal it they've been in there all night  being collected and now i've let them all out   but it's okay be free moths i had it  plugged into a power bank all night didn't use much power at all just gave the old lender wipe condensation  issues with the camera every time right we'll do the thermacell first now i've only been rocking one  thermosalt seems to be enough that place i went to by the river with with the elevated austral tent oh my word   the mossy well actually that was mainly um oh  yeah what sound flies there were loads of them see your breakfast time yum mmm lamb okay gosh that's lots high protein diet for a high protein dog  see the camera is going all misty again   it takes a while to warm up and it  does this until the camera gets hot go on then brutie coffee so i've lit both thermacells  because there are a lot of images wow so so this morning i'm having avalanche irish cream i love these things world's worst packaging   because they don't open properly they've put  the thing up too high so it never never opens i don't know who came up  with it i say it every time   but it just cracks me up that they  could be so useless at that one thing so you always make a mess with these one day i'll get around speaking to  the company and say what are you doing   this is awful so yeah avalanche  irish cream coffee lovely ah i'm very impressed with this uv lamp thing   kiwi camping it says kiwi camping on it but  whether they invented it or not i don't know um it's made in china so it could be anywhere  it could probably be on aliexpress or amazon   and they've just relabeled it but it  definitely works the only thing is   these this mesh is just too big for sand flies  but it will work for mosquitoes definitely it   will work for mosquitoes and you saw the amount of  moths well moths are really annoying at night time   so you hang this thing away from camp a bit and  it's great the only thing is it's not waterproof   so you can't leave it out in the rain i had to add  this hook to it and it's got a proprietary plug   i hate things with proprietary plugs usb  to that why couldn't they just do usbc   i really that's one of my bug bears is everything  should be usbc now even the iphone should be usbc   it's so stupid that the ipad and even the macbook  is usb uh c and the iphone is still lightning   so this is what i'm talking about  you see it has a proprietary cable   which doesn't make sense to me anyway just  a bug bear you know me i like to winch but in the consumer market and it's all waste because you  just got so many stupid cables   doesn't make any sense i  think it's time to sit down and chill ah of course you know the best thing is it's not raining i think it rained quite heavily  last night at one point i could hear   quite a downpour but the fan was so loud that uh i didn't really notice it that much fan  is superb don't go camping without a fan because if it's ever you know especially spring  summer if it's ever so slightly warm the fan   oh it's so nice i couldn't have slept without  that yeah it got hot in there it's not a cold tent it's not well i mean it's okay  ventilated but it's not great probably needed a bit more  mesh lower down but yeah   it's what it is it was cheap i think  i can't remember how much it was single skin though condensation just remember that   condensation will always be a problem  oh no i've got a moth in my coffee get out of there i'm gonna have to do that again a  bunch of moths flew in there oh no i shouldn't have released the moths  under here i should have done it outside   they've got a flown in my coffee  cup right let's do that again oh dear really well it wouldn't be camping with me  if things like that didn't happen i know you will get a kick out of my failures i don't need to do a bloopers  reel it's all one big bloop oh boy there wasn't just one in there there  were like three in there disintegrated one i would have picked out okay thermocells are kicking in now doing their job thanks for coming everybody hmm wow it's so humid oh it's good it's hot okay i need to get my breakfast on this  morning for breakfast we're having bacon and pancake so i need to put the bacon on first okay let's get the bacon cranking got some lovely  manuka smoked bacon here from new zealand got my statutory morning smoothie my spirulina  slam which i've now found out is seaweed thank you for everyone who told me that i  could have googled it i don't know why i didn't okay it's getting a bit messy here ugh so so the cheeky little bush rubbing  has just come right up to bruce   leave him bruce let me see if i can angle him  down hang on i don't know if you can see him   can you see the little bush robin  he's just come up to chat with bruce   going under the car now good boy bruce we've got  honey bees everywhere so bruce just ignores them   but they're so inquisitive they come right up to  his nose and look at him like what are you doing now that robin is down here  just at my feet right pancakes hello i don't think the camera's  picking him up here behind me but these are very sweet they're  very lovely birds bush robins   all birds are lovely where is he oh he's got a  moth that's what he's after he's got the moth   so the chair is just in the way let me see if  i can move the chair without him freaking out and there he is can you see him let me zoom in it's a bush robin getting the moths they're so lovely they're so tame if you dig up  the ground a little bit then they uh they'll stick   around right to your feet right on your feet  they'll land on your feet to see what comes up there you go a bit of a bit of nature  with tony and bruce they love bruce   and he does nothing he just lies there  and looks at them he's a good boy oops okay well there won't be any need to use  any fat because of the bacon grease hello he right at my feet he might come  and land up here or something i don't know let me move it down just a bit so you can see him he's just down there you see him all right  there you go he's going under the car   so you see i fed the moths i fed them off i  fed the birds with the moths i did my thing for the birds and anyone who knows me whoa explosion anyone who knows me knows i love birds that went well oh no i've got batter everywhere  having a meltdown i was so busy   talking about the birds i didn't  notice my pancake mix had exploded oh toilet roll there we go that's  what i need toilet roll kitchen roll i'm making a mess is it just me or does this happen to  everyone else when they're camping as well everybody else's camping videos seem so perfect you don't want to get batter all over you right i need more water in there i've got to be careful moving around  that i don't tread on this robin he's so funny just sitting there  looking at me bobbing around   i'm sure you can see him on the camera now okay sounds like we've got a good mixture now okay okay let's turn that right down oh it's a thick one okay i think we're looking good apart from the initial mess i made  this is looking quite successful ah it was all going on at that moment  it was just too much for me to handle   at the robin bacon pancakes trying to  film trust me it's a lot easier when   you do these things and you're not trying  to film for youtube camping is a lot easier   but it's harder when you're trying to film  trust me it's harder when you're trying to film because you want to put on a good show it just never happens well  not on my channel anyway maybe on someone else's  channel it will look perfect but i like to keep it real oh sam fly get out of there is camping in the wild insects  moths birds oh he's back so that's a great idea for that  device collect all the moths and   then if they die or something just  empty them into a pile somewhere and yeah then you've got yourself  uh fantastic little bird feeder i should have put them on that  table over there picnic table bruce mind out come on how'd you go oh now please i've got to pay attention  i've already had one [ __ ] up don't want to burn my pancake i think it's ready for the flip oh god i've got it half in i just caught the end but it will come out okay be happy in your work be happy in your work what was that  from be happy in your some tv show   be happy in your work it's a tv show was it 1984   i can't remember what it is you know what it's  starting to feel like a lot like 1984 with all   the politics that's going on and being told  what you can and can't say cancel culture he's a cheeky robin isn't he oh  tweeting at you bruce yes he is   circling the camp now looking for  more moths don't lie down bruce go on yeah i haven't got a signal here  but we're in the middle of this weird time they're trying to cancel it  they're trying to cancel uh joe rogan imagine a world where we cancel absolutely  everybody because we just don't like what   they're saying and there are no  dissenting voices ever ever again 1984. careful what you wish for  be very careful what you wish for eventually you'll say something and get cancelled okay we have a successful pancake and i  i would say that was a successful flip hey mr robin he loves this  spot he loves these moths   i hope the camera is picking him up behind me here and they have red uh sorry a white chest whereas  in england they have a red chest the robins right now because i've got the bacon on here i'm gonna fold fold my pancake oh maybe i'm not gordon ramsay eat your heart out he has a  production team to do all his camera work someone left a comment i hope it's canadian maple  syrup is there any other kind of maple syrup   this is steve's from canada and as i said on my community  post go to my community tab and   if you're a subscriber you'll see all my different  photos i always have a pancake with my maple syrup   so i think some people didn't get the joke i didn't think it was that complicated pancake time and you know what i think  i want to sit out there and have it pancake time what you've had your breakfast no no no no  no no chance nope you get to clean the dish   but i get to eat first but nice try oh that's  hot god leave the nerve on him the brew show hmm bacon good pans look good maple syrup good wow i can't explain how humid it is 100  humidity but not that hot not warm mild yeah it's really disgusting so yesterday i drove an hour to a site where i have to cross a  stream to camp and um yeah i just didn't risk it i think yeah definitely if i'd been with  more people or if we had another vehicle   uh then i would have just gone for it but if  it's by myself and i've got bruce with me and i'm   responsible for him i'm not fording a river that's  gushing at that speed and it was insane speed and   it doesn't take much to go wrong and then you're  stranded in the middle of a flipping river   so i did the right thing turned around i called  down and said nope that spot doesn't work   and then it was uh another hour's drive to here  and even here you've got to cross some little fords and waterfalls and stuff  like that and they were gushing but nothing like that i think the car no problem  it would have handled it it's got a snorkel and everything else but just not by itself okay i'm gonna take my time in this pancake i  actually want to have another coffee with it   so i'll come back to you after then right breakfast was delicious feeling quite warm now that i've  eaten okay time to break down camp   worst bit of any camping trip is breaking  down camp i've got a lot of bits and bobs   to put away i'm gonna start by clearing out  the tent of all the stuff that's in here so okay so i heard this is a bit tricky the  first time you do it so we shall see you gotta bend it or something tell you what these zips are  pretty difficult to close okay so apparently you squidge it  up sort of like that and then it wants to do that but  that's not the way you do it so let's try that again i saw online lots of people struggling with this  it's not immediately obvious what you have to do okay so you have to force it i'm sure there are people watching who have  done this before ah no it's doing it again i'm sure there are people watching who have  done this know exactly what they're doing nope i might have to look at the instructions  again ah come on i think you're meant to   sit on it or something meant to get some  pressure on it it is not obvious honestly no i'm gonna have to look at the instructions oh nightmare i knew this would be a problem ah okay stand it up bright  push it down okay got it so you stand it upright telling you it's not obvious it  really fights you the whole time   it's much much easier putting up than it is  putting down okay so you stand it up right   okay stand on the bottom  and somehow flip that down i could have had my big tent down by now that just doesn't seem right ah it really wants to do it the other way okay let me try it this way come on you can do this just to trade 50 billion dollars a  day i can do this okay upright fold it   crush it down really i'm going to crush this down okay so you meant to crush  it down onto itself ah got it okay i got it ah we got it just like that i reckon with a bit of  practice you'll have that done in 10 seconds just practice practice practice breakfast so  you don't look like an idiot at the campsite come on that was pretty painless actually  compared to packing up a normal tent that was easy but a normal tent is probably better quality  and more weatherproof rainproof more comfortable   but this thing just works and it's quick and then  you just throw it in the back and you're all done   not much on it that can break to be honest if you're going to a soggy campground tarp right let's get the rest of this all packed away ah oh okay everybody all packed up all done that  wasn't much hassle it's a bumblebee bruce   you're gonna come up that's as much as you're  gonna do not gonna jump up thanks for coming   along on this one everyone thank you again  for all of the the treats on buy me a coffee   dot com thank you for all the likes
