Solo Wild Camping in the TentBox Classic
Вставка
- Опубліковано 27 жов 2021
- in this video I am solo wild camping in my TentBox Classic. My intention was to summit camp on Great Gable but the weather had other ideas and I thought it safer to spend the night in my new roof top tent, the TentBox Classic.
I spent the majority of the day scouting out a hammock camp location that dragon outdoors claims to be the best in the UK! I had to give up in the end as the light was fading however I will get back there soon and find it!
I also wanted to talk about time (again) and how we never know when it's going to be our last time.
I hope you enjoy the video and as always if you do, please give the video a thumbs up and subscribe!!
Thanks and have a good one.
Ryan
I've had my tentbox classic for about 1 month now, and have found myself spending more time in it than at home 😂
Haha that’s class mate! I sold mine just over a year ago because we weren’t using it enough but I wish I’d kept it. I miss it! And they’ve gone up in price loads now too!
I’m going to buy one of these and absolutely live life to the fullest
Very profound thoughts about the last time. Thank you. Ps I'm going to buy a tent box now.
So much truth mate. I appreciate this video as someone going through it now!
Just subscribed after watching this video. Was interested in the Tentbox but have taken much more. Thanks man.
Ah thank you mate, I really appreciate the comment. Glad you got something from it! Ryan
I’m looking at buying the tentbox lite they seem like a decent company. Nice video mate 👍
Wow - thanks for sharing - have been curious as to how these worked out!
Thanks mate. Like i say, I’ll be doing a more in depth video on it soon! Glad you found it useful. Take care, Ryan
Hey there! Just came across your channel. Just subbed to support a fellow UA-cam vlogger and hiker out there. I have debated for years to get a rooftop tent or not. I tent camp all the time on my hikes on the east coast of the US. Your setup looks really cool. Looking forward to following along on your channel and watching more of your videos. ~RVA Hiker Girl~
Hey! Thank you for them comment and the sub, I really appreciate it! I will check out your channel and follow your adventures! The roof tent was a compromise as I wanted to buy a van to convert but the prices are so ridiculous at the minute (in the UK especially) but I’m so glad I got the Tentbox. It’s such a great bit of kit and it’s really comfortable and just adds flexibility to my set up and gives me the opportunity to spend a couple of extra days out in the hills! Thanks again, take care, Ryan
Morning mate, bloody great camp any camp is a good camp. If I can give ya any advice, it's this. Make the most out of every day. It's that simple. Tell people that ya love em ever day. Tell ya self as well. An at thy end of the day you've done that... Wait for a new day.. Great video mate keep true an keep pushing forward. You'll get there lad 👍😁. Positive attitude. Tc Andy
Thanks Andy, couldn’t agree more mate! Appreciate you watching and commenting, it means a lot. Atb, Ryan
@@ryanhuntermedia nice one mate 👍😁✌️
Great vid... Definitely encouraging me to get a tentbox. I was worried that they'd be good for campsites but not so much for wild camping but maybe I'm wrong haha. Could you share roughly where you parked/camped for the night here?
These look ace , my only concern is the how do the doors fix down and keep it water tight ?
I'm about to purchase one ,but I'm just afraid coming back down from an hike and it's been stolen.i would be trying to get the best security or may putting in a tracker inside it🙈
Great !!

Thank you mate 🙏
Are u buying a tent big kab
I like your attitude and content. Do you show cooking or catch n cook in your vids while camping..??
Thanks mate. No I don’t unfortunately. I can’t catch a cold
Great vid, really useful 👍. I've come to this film as I'm seriously thinking about getting a Tentbox. They look just the job for what I am after. My only real concern is the taking it on and off the car. I would use it regularly so it would involve much of this. At 65kg, how onerous do you find this aspect? ATB, Chris
Hi Chris, thanks for the comment and glad you found the video useful. They are a great bit of kit and I’m seriously glad I took the plunge to get one. In terms of taking it on and off the car, I actually keep mine on the car full time. It’s been on since September and I haven’t noticed any massive loss in MPG on my car (maybe 5-10 miles a tank). They are heavy and you do really need 2 people to take it on and off. Saying that, with 2 people, it is easy enough to do.
@@ryanhuntermedia Thanks for getting back to me. I would need to take it off really but I'm sure the missus would help. 🙂
@@ChrisJB no probs mate. There is a Facebook group - Tentbox Community - where you can ask loads of questions and there’s always someone on there who is in a similar scenario. There’s some right contraptions to help you get them on. And off the car.
@@ryanhuntermedia Brilliant, thanks. I'll join now. 👍
What’s it like heavy rain mate? Can you stow it away wet and put it back up again in a different location, and it still be dry inside?
Hiya mate, it’s absolutely fine in heavy rain, the way it collapses down means that you get no (or very little) water ingress when you’re closing it. Like any tent through, if you’ve had it in heavy rain, just make sure you open it up when the weather clears to let it air out. Atb, Ryan
How much do you get out "wild camping" in the tentbox? I really want to take my lite to the lakes but I'm worried il get shouted at haha
Haha you won’t get shouted at mate! I’ve been out wildcamping in it about 5-6 times now. We’re actually camping out in it up in the lakes this Saturday actually. If you drop me a dm on Instagram, I’ll give you a couple of locations where I’ve camped and had no bother at all! Go for it mate, you won’t regret it!
Ah thanks so much dude! Il chuck you a message later today
