Just an average bloke exploring the countryside and learning about all things bushcraft. It's about walking, hiking, camping, outdoor cooking, building and enjoying the outdoors. Learn with me and see where my adventures take me!
Five Ethels in one day! And my LONGEST walk ever - do I survive!!!
It's a bit of a greatest hits this week. I take in High Wheeldon, Chelmorton Low, Sough Top, Carder Low and Pilsbury Hill. I've spent quite a lot of time in and around this area in previous videos so watch out for links to flashbacks from our back catalogue.

Gear Review: Temu Cook Set - Cheap and crappy or clever value?
Переглядів 523День тому
Intrigued by Temu, I bought everything I'd need to go out and start cooking outside for about 1/2 the price of a basic Trangia 27 - is it a clever simple set for a beginner or does the price reflect the quality in a bad way?

It's that time of year again - tent review time! Except this year we're not reviewing a tent as such but this key part of our family camping kit. Use it as a seating area, storage or your camp kitchen to give you living space in the main tent and you can't go wrong. Also great for picnics, private changing space and as a gazebo for fetes etc - it's strong as an ox and much more practical! Go Ou...
What was new at the Bushcraft show 2024? Better or worse?
Переглядів 2,8 тис.2 місяці тому
We went on our annual pilgrimmage to the Bushcraft Show this year and the only thing that had changed for the worse was the weather (for which I think the organisers cannot be blamed!). Apart from that, the show was bigger and better than ever and we loved it.

Me and Mrs Bushcraft Dave escaped for the afternoon into the Peak District, our favourite place. We followed the Komoot map in the link below but parked a little lower down and finished along the canal instead of walking through the village.

Why are they called Ethels?
Ethel's are defined by "ancestral territories", which are just points that are historically significant
@user-rc7dq7xp6y they are named after Ethyl Haythornthwaite who pioneered the establishment of the Peak District at Britain's first national park in 1951
@@chado_outdoors Thanks for your reply, rather like collecting munroes, i guess.

the signing would have been a chore with a name like that. Keep up with the great posts.
Nice one Dave.

Hi i dont have this tent i have the carins 4dlx so slightly bigger and after taking it out i did a trial run set up was fine but for the life of me cant get back in , it also comes in two parts however a lot bigger and the bag is tiny . Any tips on getting it in ?
@freyatoth7841 thank you for you message. When you have got the tent down and laid out flat. Fold the tent in like you might fold a tshirt. The aim really is the final width when folding in, before you roll up, should be about the width of the bag with the poles in. Then put the pole bag on top and roll the tent around the pole bag keeping it tight. To be fair this is often a problem with putting tents away, and I have in the past found tent bags that are too small when putting tents away. In these cases I just use a different bag, such as a supermarket canvas type carrier bag. Hope you have some joy in getting the tent away.
@@bushcraftdavetrangiaThank you , weather looks okay today so i will make it my mission !
Thanks for taking the time in making a video absolutely amazing by the way and love the history as well
@carlhatton6315 thank you 👍
Mate, great review. I use all this stuff here in Sydney- it’s so cheap but does everything desired of it. You can’t beat it for value! And because you review and presentation are so well done… I’m going to subscribe!
@roybarnes-thewildlifeman1855 thank you Roy. Welcome to the channel 👍
I've had that same gas burner for over 7 years and it has never let me down! I also bought that same style pot/pan set on Temu and it has quickly become my favorite cooking set. I even use it at home quite a bit 😂

@firestarter_marshy9602 cheers buddy 👍
We've been using one of those gas stoves for just over a year now and it's still going strong. Similar pan set too, and a load of those little condiment bottles in the fridge. For an occasional camper who is on a budget, it really is pretty goo gear. (Bought some of our stuff from AliExpress though, so slightly more expensive)
@@IvanDP1967 thank you 👍
Just bought some of the condiment bottles from Temu, they've gone up to the outrageous price of £1.49! Over a fiver on Amazon. Also picked up some assorted dry bags for six quid, less than half the price of and identical looking set on Amazon. I have now banned myself from Temu for a month because I keep spending money!
@@BoxTunnel it's dangerous as you can easily get sucked into buying loads 👍
My go to for god bargains recently has been Vinted; type "camping" into the search bar, lots of unused/little used gear as well as used stuff. It's been a good way for me to get quality for a good price, and the money goes directly into someone's pocket. I've managed to get a couple of full Trangia sets for under £30 each, lamps, cutlery, collapsible cups, a couple of very good multi tools, a tent, bed roll. Lots of rucksacks and sleeping bags on there. Better value - I think - than e-bay, but it pays to look in very regularly as a lot of the stuff doesn't hang around long. I personally wouldn't touch Temu with the proverbial - I'd rather buy quality second hand, and I'm concerned about reports of data harvesting, insecure information storage etc. Having said that. I understand why some folk use it and like it, but it's not for me. Hope this info might be useful to others. Another good video thanks :)
@@gallovidian2151 oh that sounds good. I will check it out. Love a bargain 👍
I like these tents. Definitely a higher roof than my ridgeback tent, and mine doesnt have the side vents like yours. Enjoy this!
@@chado_outdoors thank you 👍
A better design would be a round trivet with legs legs that fits in the can standing up that way no disasters with the lid falling off or it falling out

@@YarpsOutdoors merci. 👍
Just bought this tent for a festival next week. I noticed it doesn't have a footprint/groundsheet beneath the inner tent. Does this matter or should I buy one to protect the base and to keep the water out? Great video btw!
@smiffypop333 thank you. You shouldn't need a groundsheet as the inner is effectively a ground sheet. If the weather is really bad for the weekend you could pick one up for a little insurance, but you should be fine 👍
@@bushcraftdavetrangia Perfect. Thank you for the advice!
I had a cheapo pop up from Ebay.....absolute disaster. This year I went to go outdoors were they had some tents already set up so you could test for size, and comfort (Kingston branch). Picked up a shadow 350 for less than £70 quid ( with £5 a year members discount) followed the instructions with a little help from you tube.....jods a good un ! Your vid also helped a lot. Keep up the good work !

Thanks! I was having problems folding it down. Now I get it. The same happened to me when I first took it out of the bag🤣
Thank you 👍
OMG! How I didn’t break this in temper I don’t know, not the easiest thing to put together, still haven’t managed to put together now 🤬 😂
It is a challenge. I needed 2 people and some perseverance to get the poles through the top section 👍
Good to se you, Sir! I just checked your page yesterday to see if somehow I missed a video from you, then wake up to a notification 😂 that panino looked great!! But I bet a few pieces of prosciutto would have taken it over the top with that new pesto! Don't worry about the burn, it happens to all of us at some point. I knew when I saw the flames going out of control that it was doomed 😂 looking forward to all the upcoming videos. Just stay safe and stay hydrated, my friend! I plan to get out and record more, too, we're just recovering from the tornado at the end of May, so I haven't had a chance to get out.
@chadtilghman255 oh my goodness. I hope you are all doing well. 👍
@@bushcraftdavetrangia we're doing much better. We are currently living in a caravan while the town recovers and insurance fixes everything, but at least we are safe and happy. Hope you guys are all well, too!
Hi, I have seen you have used this a few times now and was wondering what you thought of its performance in the rain at all as it appears to have mixed reviews regarding its ability to keep the rain out?
@courtez77uk thank you for your question. We've not had any issues so far. Seems to have held up pretty well. 👍
Dave, great vids all round mate. could you use a bagel instead of bread? Wouldn’t need to cut the hole 🤔🤔 Have you ever tried eggy bread? Think it’s also called French toast. Dip slice of bread into egg mixture then fry like fried bread
@1972andyb thank you. Both great ideas. I think I've done a video for both these things already. One's called My Best Cook Ever, Bacon, Egg, Halloumi, Avocado and Chilli Jam Bagel, and the other video is called Eggy Bread n Cheese n Ham. Hope you enjoy 👍

@@bushcraftdavetrangia no worries! Will let you know how I get on with it. I ordered the OEX Expedition tarp as well so create some space to cook/sit.
Alcoholburner can use different sorts of alcohol. Ethanol burns with a yellow flame & soting. Methanol burns with a invisibil flame and no sot. A 50/50 mixture of methanol & ethanol burns with a blue flame & little to no soting. In Sweden it can be bought outdoor shops and boating shops. 1 Kemetyl Tenol, 2 Octanol.

@@zingo2664 hydrostatic head. To do with its level of waterproof ability
What , no swearing? Well done. Easiest way.. DON'T fasten ends of roof into place first .. makes threading the longer poles easier. Centre the long poles before fitting into the colour coded pins at the tent base. Fit roof ends then (stand on something!).. Tent clips to poles VERY tight on ours. I even bought 4 steel rings (2 1/4"cm diameter) to thread over the two adjacent poles so where they cross.. the plastic/metal clip will clip on a lot easier.. still a lot of tension. Before this one fibreglass pole split .. requiring a fix with 10-12mm jubilee clips before going back to the store before the guarantee runs out! (Oh had extra eyes fitted to the base skirt to ensure better pegging out at periphery.
@@neiljones4697 thank you Neil
How did you mount the tent to the outside? Im struggling big time doing it myself !
@Hajmeddig123 I just used some bungy cords or cordage. Now when packing I put it between the closed bag and the lid. I find it better the be at the top of the bag just for navigating the narrow openings into fields.
I've been looking at these and tempted to buy, so thanks for the video. I've seen loads of reviews about poles snapping??
@michaelwatson7223 we've had no issues so far and it's gone up and down a few times. Glad you found it useful 👍
