Absolutely superb mate. I almost fell asleep watching this - in a good way! Sheer relaxation with the sound of the rain on the fly and the stove burning away. Can imagine just how cosy it felt - the definition of 'Hygge' right there. Quality as always mate - thanks for sharing and I look forward to your next video! ATB, Chris
Thanks man! Having all those extra luxuries with me on this camp, with a warm fire AND the sound of rain was pretty great! Maximum relaxation. A nice change of pace from getting battered by the wind on a mountain 😂. All the best buddy. Hope you have a nice weekend!
31:35 "Really enjoying this camp", sound of raindrops - but this image is so cozy illuminated by the oven fire. Never saw this kind of superb meal before, need to rethink my holiday plans for the future.
It’s not always great having to set up camp in the rain, but there is denying how fantastic it is to listen to the rain once you’re in the tent 👍. Thanks for taking the time to comment.
Having a coffee over breakfast here in Aus, great viewing. Inwas a hiker long before inhad a family, so we did car camping when the kids were very young and introduced them to hiking, bird watching etc. theyre now adults and my youngest bloke has just done cape york, and is now in Western Australia. So mate, your hiking/car camping will live with your family forever… (i am beginnkng to wonder if youre actually allowed in the house 🤣)
🤣 only if I behave! My kids definitely enjoy camping a bit more than my wife but we always seem to have a good time when we go. Love Australia. Before my wife and I were married I went to visit her while she was studying abroad in Sydney. While I was visiting I convinced her to camp on Whitsunday Island for a couple nights. Such an incredible trip! Really appreciate you taking the time to comment. Enjoy your day!
🤣👍 I have been trying to convince my wife for years that we should build out a van for traveling. She is still not having it but one day I will convince her. Appreciate the comment! ATB
I've gone from backpacking the Grand Canyon to reconsidering a dog walk as it looks like it might rain. 😊 Thanks for letting me relive my youth through your adventures.
This was different than what I've seen on your channel and I really enjoyed it. You looked so relaxed and seemed to enjoy yourself too. More like this one would be great. Thanks for sharing.
Glad to hear you enjoyed it. Not having to safely make my way up a mountain in enough time to setup the tent before nightfall was a nice change of pace. It allowed for much more time to relax which I really felt on this trip 😀. Sometimes I can feel like I am rushing to get things done on my camps. Especially in winter when the days are shorter. Definitely not this camp! Plenty of time to just enjoy. As always, really appreciate your comments. ATB
As a 64-year-old camper, I'll take every advantage of the truck. to include an XL cot. nice tent. Haven't seen your meal yet, but sure it's going to be great.
I'm a backpacker and have never car camped, but this hot tent is making me reconsider. That is a brilliant video showing the advantages of a hot tent. Great job, great content!
Thanks. I dont normally like to car camp either but this was an EXTREMELY cozy camp with many luxury items. It made for a really enjoyable trip. I think I’m going to actually try to bring this set up with me again this year and maybe try to do ahike into the woods with it. This was a really fun camp.
😆👍 I was pretty happy! I don’t usually camp in tents this big. I definitely enjoyed having all the extra space and luxury items on such a rainy day. A fun change of pace but I’m looking forward to getting back into the mountains for a proper hike. Especially now that the days are starting to get a bit longer. Appreciate the comment. Hope you have a great weekend!
Definitely a luxurious amount of space for one compared to my normal backpacking tents 👍. I was pretty happy with how the wings turned out using a different cooking method than I normally use. Really appreciate the comment! ATB
That was pure luxury, which the conditions totally justified. I guess the worse the conditions, the more this setup makes sense, just stay indoors and chill.
Thanks! The sound of the rain all night really added to the enjoyment of this camp. Such a great sound 👍. A nice meal always helps 😀. Really appreciate the comment. ATB
I have watched some of your videos and I am happy for you not having to have one of those nightmare nights with strong winds, minus degrees and tent walls beating up your face. This tent you used is great! You should make this your standard tent. And buffalo wings to eat was a good choice.
This camp was very comfortable and relaxing 😀. I do really enjoy this tent but it’s not appropriate for backpacking as it weighs nearly 20lbs so I only use it on trips where I am not traveling very far. Love buffalo wings 👍😀. Really appreciate you watching!
Man you looked so happy. Great video!! I'm glad the Nemo Extreme behaved perfectly well this time. Oh, and the wings... Argh, you made wanna be in the US just for eating wings. Thnx for sharing again!!
I definitely was a happy camper on this trip. Much more downtime to just relax! I was much happier with how the Nemo extreme performed. However, I was not in subfreezing temperatures and I’m not sure if I’ll even see those temps again before winter ends. It’s definitely a comfortable pad, though like my other Nemo. I think Buffalo wings would be a nice addition to the normal pub cuisine 👍. Although it might feel a little out of place. Appreciate the comment as always. Hope you’re having a nice weekend!
Thanks. It’s always great to get out for a camp. Having a bit more space with a few more luxury items was really nice in this kind of weather. It definitely helped to make this a very relaxing camp. Appreciate you taking the time to comment!
👍 Nice! I could definitely see this design being great as a guide tent. The pole structure is solid! It’s wasn’t the easiest tent to setup by yourself in the wind wind but once it was up it didn’t move. Really appreciate the comment! ATB
Saved this to watch when I had a quiet relaxing moment,I wasn't disappointed I felt like I was sat in there with you. Good job you didn't pitch near the river pal. Awesome keep 'em coming,your vids are some of the best out there.👍
Thank you, I really appreciate that! Pitching by the river definitely would have been a mistake 😅. I knew we were suppose to get a lot of rain but I didn’t expect it to be that much. Nice to have a really relaxing camp but I’m now itching to get back into the mountains!
Thanks man! It was definitely nice to have this much space with quite a few luxury items when you’re stuck in the tent 👍. Your Snow camp is still on my watch list. We have half term break next week so I’m gonna try to watch it then. Hope you have a nice weekend!
The only thing missing inside that tent is a flush toilet. How long did it take you to get accustomed to right hand side steering & driving on the wrong side of the road? I'm thinking the same thing you're thinking, "Why didn't I bring one of my Hilleberg tents?" Gotta admit, it's always interesting to see what you're going to fix for your meals. You always cook up some meals that look nutritious, tasty, & filling. Warm Regards from Reno, Nevada, U.S.A.
🤣👍 if it had a proper toilet I could almost live here. Finding a spot to dig a hole and then getting rained on in the process wasn’t the most comfortable morning trip to the toilet. I do love my Hillebergs and I already have my eye on another for next winter 😅. It’s embarrassing but I just really love their tents. Cooking while at camp is definitely a highlight for me so it’s nice to hear that others find it interesting. It’s always really convenient to cook on a wood stove as well. It’s almost like using the stove at home. Enjoy your comments as always 😀. It’s almost that time of the year to bring the Enan back out!
@@GoingSoloOutdoors The Enan, with two additional guylines at both ends with LONGER pegs & big heavy rocks atop the pegs hold my Enan in place when Mother Nature is in one of her strong gusty winds mood when I'm above 9,000' elevation in the high Sierras. Gathering big heavy rocks is the FIRST thing I do even B4 I unroll my tent to pitch it. I pound a peg into the ground & reach for a nearby big heavy rock & put it on top of the peg B4 moving on to the next peg. When I pound a peg into hard or soft ground I don't want it pulled out by Mother Nature.
you definitely looked mor relaxed and comfortable on this one. that's pretty impressive making your own blue cheese dressing and the wings looked like perfection.
Thanks Dave! Having a bit more downtime on this trip combined with the extra space and weather definitely made for a relaxing camp. I like when recipes are pretty simple like this. Just a few ingredients and it tastes much better than any store purchased dressing 👍. I highly recommend you give it a try. Really appreciate the comment. Hope you’re having a nice weekend!
What is the model of that Pomoly fold up stove ? Did it do a good job of heating the tent ? I guess it would need feeding more often and cool off quick. I have a Nortent Gamme 4, a size large Winnerwell Nomad which I think is overkill so I use their Woodlander medium in it. I'm interested in how these smaller titanium stoves perform. Also looking at getting the X6 version of this tent. Several clips I've seen on these tents report minimal leaks occasionally, but nothing a little maintenance can't fix.
This is the Pomoly T1 mini 3. It did a great job heating the tent. You definitely have to feed it a bit more than a larger stove but once you have a good coal base it purrs along quite nicely 👍. I really love the size and shape of this tent. Appreciate you watching!
😆👍 I should probably look at the closed captions at some point to see if it accurately works. Really appreciate you watching. Hope you have a nice weekend!
I absolutely love this video!!!! Hey you even did the wings correctly with blue cheese!!! Buffalo car camping in the UK !! It's like a little bit of my home in that beautiful countryside... Thank you my friend
Thanks man! Definitely a comfortable place to hangout on such a cold wet day. I had a lot of fun on this one 👍. As always, really appreciate the comment!
Another great camp! We like hearing that rain hitting the tent as well. You need to leave the camera roll for five minutes or so, with the rain and the fire in the background.
Thanks! Glad you enjoy the sound of the rain but I typically don't leave the camera rolling for that long just because it makes the video longer which increases the file size and the time it takes for the video to upload. Where we live our internet connection is unfortunately not all that great so it takes over a day as it is just to upload a video 😅. I am not sure of the channel name but there is actually a channel on UA-cam that is all about just showing a fire and sometimes rain. If I remember the name I will update this reply 👍. ATB
Man that tent is a serious piece of gear the removable floor seems like such a game changer once everything is in you don't have to leave, nothing worse then having to put on all the water proofs again to just go outside for a few minutes. Another great video Love them all⛰⛰
It was definitely a departure from my normal backpacking tents but I have to admit it was extremely relaxing having all those luxury items with me. Especially with the fire going while it’s raining outside. I just really wish we got more snow here so I could use it in proper winter conditions. I’m looking forward to using it in the summer with my family though. Appreciate the comment. Hope you have a nice weekend!
Morning from Aus. Thats great you spent time here. The walking is very different here to there. It made me complacent eg we are at about 700m with a few mountains at 1000m and whilst we do get storms and a flicker of snow, its pretty good (just dont walk in bushfire peaks), so when i got to the UK i thought “piece of cake”… then the weather dramatically sets in and if you dont have the right gear its a challenge. Lol. Oh- that solo walk you did over thise “knife edge” peaks was pretty hairy. I certainly couldnt do that on my own
The weather here in the UK has definitely taken some getting used to. You never know what your going to get 😅. It’s actually one of the reasons why I just prefer using my Hilleberg tents now. If the weather turns I can trust them. It probably wasn’t the wisest decision to hike Crib Goch on my own. I was actually really surprised I was able to get the ridge all to myself. But and incredibly beautiful spot!
I've not come across your videos before and really enjoyed it. I'm actually looking for a decent sized dome hot tent to use for winter fishing trips so it was very relevant to me on this occasion so a double thank you and look forward to going through your back catalogue of videos. many thanks for sharing .
Welcome to the channel! I really enjoyed the space of this hot tent. It even comes in a larger size. Really appreciate you watching and taking the time to comment! ATB
Thanks! Pretty simple to make and much tastier than anything I’d get in the store. I’m sure you’ll see more rain at some point. Really appreciate you watching and taking the time to comment!
@@GoingSoloOutdoors Thank you! Great content. I'm a bit older now, yet spent many nights alone in a small tent recharging to the sound of rain, a tasty meal, and The Good Book. Waking refreshed and Blessed.
Awesome as per usual . Would have loved to have seen you canoe up the river maybe next time . Have you ever thought of paddle boarding and camping ? I’m going to try that this year . Look forward to the next video 👍
Just watched it , what an amazing set up looks massive inside Looked so cosy with the sound of the rain and the crackling of the hot stove fire .Cooking as always looked delicious You could tell you love the whole set up Can see some enjoyable family camping holidays in that what a beast of a tent
It was very relaxing sitting next to a warm fire with the sound of rain. Having a few extra luxury items didn’t hurt 😀. I’m definitely looking forward to getting out with the family in the spring and summer. I actually will probably try coming back to this area. It would be nice to bring the paddleboard and let the kids play in the river. Really appreciate the comment as always! ATB
That’s awesome! I really appreciate you both watching. I am currently working on a website where I can share the recipes for all the meals I’m making on these camps. I normally cook to taste but I’m trying to do better at measuring ingredients. So if you’re interested hopefully I’ll have it up and running pretty soon 😀👍.
Hi again , your videos are addictive!.!,! Easy and relaxing enjoy that you do camping with rain. Most guys would prefer good weather, I enjoy all elements, rain, Snow,wind,heat,cold.All four letters weather. Take care.Signed Jim
If I’m going on a longer hike I typically enjoy good weather as well but I do enjoy that feeling when you get in the tent and out of the elements. And the sound of rain on the tent fly is pretty great 👍
Greetings from Finland. Thank You for the videos. I have just recently found your channel and I love it. And I also love all your amazing tents 😄 Myself I normally do a longer bikepacking trip once a year and a few smaller trips. And I also prefer Trangia with cooking. After watching just a few of your videos, I have found many great tips to camping and making food that I can use in my coming trips. Thanks a lot. Have a good hikes and please keep making these great videos 🤟
Greetings and welcome to the channel. Finland is high on my travel list! As someone who likes to cook outside, Trangia cooksets are definitely some of my all time favorites. Happy to hear that you’re enjoying the videos. I still need to try a bikepacking trip. That’s one of the few types of camping I haven’t really done. I need to change that. Really appreciate you watching and taking the time to comment. Hope you have a great weekend. ATB
Hey my man I just want to stop and leave a comment and tell you how much I enjoyed that camp that was a lovely tent spacious too going solo love the videos till the next adventure 👍p.s when are you going to bring some whiskey😂
It was nice to have the extra space and a few extra luxuries in this kind of weather. Made for a much more relaxing camp. Thank you so much for taking the time to comment! Maybe I will take a bit on this next camp 👍. ATB
Very different from your 'usual' camps, but great to watch nonetheless. It must have been great to have all that space and warmth to move about in in the rain. My wife and I were both very impressed with your 'cooked from scratch' Buffalo Wings too - they looked delicious, and a massive plateful, so you certainly weren't going hungry. We will certainly need to try that recipe at home sometime. As you say potentially a bit messy in a smaller tent though! Great video, thanks... Keep them coming.
Thanks! This was definitely a bit different than my usual camps but extremely relaxing. I enjoyed having the extra space and a few extra luxuries on a day like this. It was also nice to make something I wouldn’t normally make on a backpacking trip. You should give them a try. Pretty simple to make and very tasty. Appreciate the comment. Hope you two have a nice weekend.
These are the Kamik Hudsons Insulated Winter Boot. They are really old so I am not sure if they make them anymore but they’ve been great 👍. Really appreciate the support!
Absolutely love this! The tent stood up to hours of rain with barely a single drop of leakage. I’ve recently got the Pomoly Leo 2 hot tent which is perfect as a one man, this looks such a good option if you are pulling a pulk, canoeing or truck camping. Can’t stretch to £650 atm but May in the future. Thanks mate ATB
I was definitely impressed. I need to actually lookup the rain totals we received. The road I took to l get out here was underwater by the next day. So much flooding. It would have been nice if we actually got the snow that was originally predicted because I could have pulled it in my pulk or used the canoe as I had originally planned. I’m definitely still excited to use it over the spring and summer with my family. The 360° of mesh panels were the feature I actually liked the most about this tent. It will be nice that the kids can just walk into the tent as well instead of everyone having to crawl into our other tent. Really appreciate the comment. Hope you have a nice weekend!
Thanks! There is a section built into the ground sheet that is meant for the stove. It is fireproof so you don’t ever have to worry about the stove damaging that area 👍
Happy Friday from sunny California! ;) I’ll be honest I check your channel almost daily hoping a new vod drops! Yes we all know here that you have a “Tent addiction” and it’s ok to seek help haha jk. At least you have the best quality taste in tent brands & gear. Thank you for sharing everything with us and hope all is well for you in the new year so far! 🤙🏻 🤙🏻
My wife reminds me all the time of my tent addiction 😅. I feel bad I can’t get out and make a video a bit more often but if you checkout my Instagram page I am able to post pictures and short videos of my little hikes into the forest weekly. Really appreciate that you keep coming back to the channel!
Thanks Graham! It was definitely relaxing sitting next to a warm fire listening to the rain all night. Drying the tent was a terrible 😂. It rained a few day after this camp so I couldn’t pitch it outside to dry and it’s just so big it was even difficult to hang in our small garage but I was eventually able to get it clean. Appreciate the comment!
I really like the pole design and the fact that it’s now a double wall tent. I think it will make it a much more versatile tent, especially compared to the PC version that I purchased. I also think it will perform really well in the wind although I don’t think it will be as quiet in the wind as the PC version. But not having to worry about condensation is a big improvement. I will be getting one to checkout. I am not going to make any of the bold claims that I have seen others make so far 🙄. Especially since most have not even had a chance to properly test it in all conditions. But I can’t deny it looks like a very promising competitor to the Soulo. But as you probably already know I LOVE my Hillebergs! The Vern won’t be a handmade like my Hillebergs but if it’s like the PC version I expect the quality to be very good. Only time will tell if it performs well in challenging conditions. But if it does, it may prove to be a cheaper alternative to a Hilleberg. I’m just happy to see more competition because at the end of the day. We the consumers are typically the ones that benefit 👍
@@GoingSoloOutdoors Yeh me too I would love a soulo it’s my dream tent. but cost at nearly 1k is so high. I’m hoping people say it’s good so may go the vern way 🤷♂️ Cheers G
It looks like it will be. My only concern is that they are shipping it with a seam sealant. I am hoping this is just a courtesy. They use the same flat fell sewing method as Hilleberg, which is fantastic. It should mean that you don’t need to seam seal the entire tent as I have never had to with any of Hillebergs but it is a mass produced tent so I want to see how good the seams are in person. And I don’t plan on sealing it unless I absolutely have to. I have a feeling it will be fine and if that’s the case it should be a great alternative that’s also going to provide you with a bit more space which is the only thing I wish the Soulo had.
I enjoyed the video of your camp. Thanks for sharing. Your dinner was excellent as always. The only time I have fires is when I stay at a scout while doing DofE expeditions. It does make it a bit special. What fleece were you wearing? It doesn’t look like they still make it. My most recent purchase was a Fjallraven Skogso jacket in suede brown and I really like it.
I agree, hanging out by a fire always adds a little something special to a camp 👍🔥. I’m wearing the Fjallraven Sten Fleece. Probably my most worn article of clothing just around town and at home. Simple and warm. I bought it years ago so I’m not positive but I definitely recommend it if they do 👍. Appreciate the comment!
It was a very cosy camp. Nothing quite like listening to the sound of the rain on a tent as you go to bed 👍. I got this kuksa on a trip to Norway with my family over the summer. Such a great trip! Hope you have a nice weekend. Appreciate the comment.
Love this. I'm going to seriously look at this to use as a base as I'm going to be spending long periods of time up in Scotland doing wildlife photography. Next year. Being able to dry kit out would make things so much more comfortable. Do you think it would stand up to Scottish winter?
I think if it was anchored properly with all the guys yes. Keep in mind it’s a very heavy tent though so you probably won’t be able to hike very far with it unless you are pulling it on a pulk. If you are looking for a tent to keep up for long periods of time I would maybe look at what Nortent offers as well in its polycotton fabrics.
Your content is better than other campers on you tube you deserve millions of subscribers and views. Lots of love nd respect from kashmir. I needed to comment so that you dont stop making videos. May Allah bless and guide you❤
I have been looking at these for a while now, I have a Russia Bear Hot Tent, paid plenty and great hot tent but 78 pounds, been looking at this one on your video and hoping to get a channel up and running soon, see yours and your video finally made me make the jump, looks like a great tent, given would been nicer but ordered and paid but sounds like not in stock, 40 to 50 days, so we will see. Great video.
I’m really liking this tent so far. Held up really well to the rain and winds. This isn’t the lightest tent but at 20lbs it’s pretty big and has some really nice features for that weight. It even has an inner tent which I didn’t use in the video which might be nice in the summer months when it’s a bit more buggy out. Really appreciate you watching and taking the time to comment! Good luck with your channel! ATB
Totally empathise what you mean regarding not wanting to be around people ( whilst camping ⛺️). I’m like that 90% of the time. Apart from The Scoobs, who is a life essential. Good video. 😃👍🐶
It’s definitely nice to feel like you are alone in a pretty place. A dog companion would be nice though. Really appreciate you taking the time to comment! ATB
@@GoingSoloOutdoors watched your video at 5am this morning. Just 3 month ago diagnosed with R/Hip osteoarthritis, so my adventuring & hiking days are over. Still, grateful that in my younger days ie 20 years ago, I got to climb Snowdon in Wales, & did loads of hiking/camping in the Yorkshire Dales, which is a lovely part of England. Yes a dog 🐕 is a great companion, loyal, dogs have an inbuilt perceptory & they know when you’re not fully functional, & compensate for it accordingly with no judgment. Will continue to watch your other videos. 🏕️ 🐶😃👍
What country are you in? It looks like the UK but your butter looks American? It's the wrong shape for the UK. And your mini is right hand drive also? If so where did you get that tent and stove from? Amazing set up. I generally glamp in a bell tent with sheepskin rugs and tealight chandeliers but I'm thinking of trying to simplify and solo camp this year if possible. This setup would be great for me 😁👍
In the UK. We have access to a commissary so we can get a few American products. The tent and stove are from Pomoly. Bell tents are great 👍. This tent is definitely still a bit heavy but pretty easy to setup and provides a nice amount of space. And the stove adds a ton of warm comfort. Really appreciate you watching and taking the time to comment. ATB
Amazing work bro! Love the aesthetics of camping. Video is amazing very relaxing. Enjoyed your video! Definitely got a subscriber here! Thanks you for creating this type of content this is what I look for. ~Ricky
Really glad you liked the video Ricky! It’s always a pleasure to go camping in these mountains regardless of the conditions. Appreciate you taking the time to leave a comment. ATB
Like I siad before got to be my favorite cooking channel 😂. Don't blame you for getting a free tent that you would have Bought away . I already get the feeling that yours is a genuine wild camping channel unlike some of the other bullshit channels that are getting there free nortents. There's one in particular (Bullshit uk) that will tell you shit with sugar on it is a tasty treat as long as a company sends him some free sugar he already has enough of the other stuff already 😂 ATB, look forward to the next video😉
😂👍 Wasn’t my intention to become a cooking channel but I am really glad you’re enjoying the cooking parts of the video. I know many come just to see a camp so it makes me happy to hear the cooking stuff isn’t boring. I really enjoyed those wings! I actually made them again for my wife and kids at home only two days later because I was so happy with them 🤣. I did see some of the early videos on the new silnylon version of the Vern 1 that you’re referring to. I understand people being excited for a tent, but I was definitely disappointed to hear so many bold claims when it hasn’t even been properly tested yet. I think it will definitely be a bit better suited for the conditions here in the UK than the PC version so I will be getting it to test out as well. However, I am a little concerned to see they are shipping tubes of seam sealant with the tent. I am hoping it is just a courtesy and that you don’t actually need to use (it doesn’t inspire confidence). Apparently they are using the same flat fell seam sewing technique that Hilleberg uses and I have never had to fully seam seal a new Hilleberg so I will not be seam sealing the new Vern. It’s definitely cheaper than a Hilleberg but it’s also not handmade like a Hilleberg. Like anything only time will tell if it’s actually any good. Gotta say British weather is probably one of the best places to test a tent though 😂. Really appreciate the comment. Hope you have a nice weekend!
@@GoingSoloOutdoors Todd thanks for your quick and full reply. I will look forward to your initial impression of the said tent (I hope you also get a free one?). But nobody can do a proper review until they have used it for a while in all types of weather. I think you can guess at the channel I was referring too! He doesn't know the difference between a first impression and a proper review. 😉
@Johnnygee10 I completely agree. I don’t do review videos but if I did. I think you would need to at least use the gear for probably an entire year in all conditions before I could give it a proper full review. Especially if it’s a four season tent. I mean we’re coming to the end of winter here so I doubt anyone’s even going to get to pitch this tent in the snow. And some four season tents are not even usable in the summer because they don’t have enough ventilation. These are all things I would expect a review video to have. I typically try not to even talk about the gear all that much in my videos but I do love gear so I definitely share any thoughts I may have while out camping. After seeing some of those first videos that came out I actually contacted Nortent. They had said in the comment section of my Vern 1 PC camp that they’d like to see me use the updated version when it comes out. To be honest, I was a bit surprised they want me to have a look at it after that video but I suppose that’s good. So they said they would send one. I won’t be doing a review but just using it as I would use any of my other tents. It’s more about the camp and the cooking channel 😂👍. I’m assuming it will keep me dryer compared to my PC version because now it’s a double wall design, but only time will tell 👍.
@@GoingSoloOutdoors Todd Thanks again for your reply to my second comment. What it must be like to compromise your principles and have no integrity for the sake of a free tent and other gear. I think Donna van senoir (small youtube channel) put it best, ....She's a wild camper that does youtube and not a youtuber that does wild camping. I think you are definately in that catagory 👍😉
👍😀 This was an extremely cosy camp. Almost like being in a cabin. I’d say that oaks probably around 200 years old at least. Beautiful tree 🌳. Appreciate you watching. ATB
Great 👍 vid I'm glad I saw you taking ur gear in a mini I've been looking at them are you on Facebook luv 2 show my magic carp tent I want to use next camp and wot an awesome location I'd b rite happy there payin rent to a landowner and l could live there off grid
Thanks! I do like our mini countryman although I wish we would have gotten it with all wheel drive. I’m not on Facebook only Instagram and UA-cam 👍. It was definitely a nice place to spend the night. Appreciate the comment. Hope you have a nice weekend!
No worries found out 2day my little Berlingo Mary isn't approved by my camping club as such but Wantin to get used 2 camping it's only my 3rd season d plan is camp spring summer luxury camping pod autumn winter is u on email can send foto there
The space for the stove pipe is quite small so that blocks the 99% of the rain. In a heavy downpour a little rain might run down the stove pipe but it typically evaporates before even reaching the stove 👍. Thanks for watching
That must be such a unique place to backpack. You don't have to worry about predatory wildlife, and I bet it would feel a bit like a Tolkien adventure.
The mountains here absolutely feel like something out of Lord of the Rings 🤣. Not having the predatory wildlife is definitely convenient when you have to cook in the tent half the time because it’s either too windy or rainy. However, I kind of miss seeing more wildlife like I did back in the states. Appreciate the comment. Hope you have a nice weekend!
Thanks! There are actually 3 doors 👍. I just like to use that one by the stove to vent a lot of the excess heat and it’s nice to be able to look out the door and look at the stove at the same time. Plenty of room to get by the stove. But you can easily just use another door if that’s a concern. Really appreciate you watching.
I haven’t but I like that it’s freestanding 👍. Pretty cool design with all the venting options as well. Ventilation options is probably one of the best feature I’ve seen with many of the Pomoly tents. It makes it a much more versatile hot tent that you can use in the warmer months as well 👍. Planning on using this tent with the family this spring/summer. Appreciate the comment.
Haha it does a bit. I was also getting big drops from dripping from the branches of the tree above the tent. Those really sounded like popcorn popping 😆. Appreciate the comment. ATB
That looks so much better then buffalo wild wings 😋
Thanks. I do miss going to buffalo wild wings though 👍
Loved this cozy video. The wings made me hungry. As always, thanks for the awesome content
Glad you liked it! This was a very cozy camp. One of my most relaxing trips in quite some time 👍. Thank you for the continued support
Absolutely superb mate. I almost fell asleep watching this - in a good way! Sheer relaxation with the sound of the rain on the fly and the stove burning away. Can imagine just how cosy it felt - the definition of 'Hygge' right there. Quality as always mate - thanks for sharing and I look forward to your next video! ATB, Chris
Thanks man! Having all those extra luxuries with me on this camp, with a warm fire AND the sound of rain was pretty great! Maximum relaxation. A nice change of pace from getting battered by the wind on a mountain 😂. All the best buddy. Hope you have a nice weekend!
31:35 "Really enjoying this camp", sound of raindrops - but this image is so cozy illuminated by the oven fire. Never saw this kind of superb meal before, need to rethink my holiday plans for the future.
This was a very relaxing camp only made better by the sound of the rain on the tent 👍. Thanks for watching!
Absolutely wonderful, the sound of the rain!
It’s not always great having to set up camp in the rain, but there is denying how fantastic it is to listen to the rain once you’re in the tent 👍. Thanks for taking the time to comment.
You never skimp out on the meals. You always eat like you're going to the electric chair. 😊
😂👍 I do enjoy cooking! Appreciate you watching
Having a coffee over breakfast here in Aus, great viewing. Inwas a hiker long before inhad a family, so we did car camping when the kids were very young and introduced them to hiking, bird watching etc. theyre now adults and my youngest bloke has just done cape york, and is now in Western Australia. So mate, your hiking/car camping will live with your family forever… (i am beginnkng to wonder if youre actually allowed in the house 🤣)
🤣 only if I behave! My kids definitely enjoy camping a bit more than my wife but we always seem to have a good time when we go. Love Australia. Before my wife and I were married I went to visit her while she was studying abroad in Sydney. While I was visiting I convinced her to camp on Whitsunday Island for a couple nights. Such an incredible trip! Really appreciate you taking the time to comment. Enjoy your day!
I like that where you're camping is " just a place " shows what camping is really about. 36:12
Whooooh I loved this rainy adventure 🌨️🌨️🌨️ could chill in that tent 4 days in the rain ... 🤍
It is always very relaxing to just listen to the sound of rain on a tent!
From a backpacking tent to heated luxury. You'll be a proper Brit caravanner in no time! Another fun video, thanks 😊
🤣👍 I have been trying to convince my wife for years that we should build out a van for traveling. She is still not having it but one day I will convince her. Appreciate the comment! ATB
I've gone from backpacking the Grand Canyon to reconsidering a dog walk as it looks like it might rain. 😊 Thanks for letting me relive my youth through your adventures.
That terrain out there, the hills and greenery... its so beautiful. Amazing. I can see why you like those places.
👍😀 I really enjoy hope green it is year round. Such a beautiful place. Appreciate you watching!
This was different than what I've seen on your channel and I really enjoyed it. You looked so relaxed and seemed to enjoy yourself too. More like this one would be great. Thanks for sharing.
Glad to hear you enjoyed it. Not having to safely make my way up a mountain in enough time to setup the tent before nightfall was a nice change of pace. It allowed for much more time to relax which I really felt on this trip 😀. Sometimes I can feel like I am rushing to get things done on my camps. Especially in winter when the days are shorter. Definitely not this camp! Plenty of time to just enjoy. As always, really appreciate your comments. ATB
As a 64-year-old camper, I'll take every advantage of the truck. to include an XL cot. nice tent. Haven't seen your meal yet, but sure it's going to be great.
Being able to bring the extra luxuries sure is nice 👍
@@GoingSoloOutdoors No worries Brother, the older you get the closer the truck, hence the more Glamping😁
I'm a backpacker and have never car camped, but this hot tent is making me reconsider. That is a brilliant video showing the advantages of a hot tent. Great job, great content!
Thanks. I dont normally like to car camp either but this was an EXTREMELY cozy camp with many luxury items. It made for a really enjoyable trip. I think I’m going to actually try to bring this set up with me again this year and maybe try to do ahike into the woods with it. This was a really fun camp.
I haven't seen you smile this much in any of the videos I've seen, thus far! Glad you like the tent! "Glamping" isn't all that bad! :)
😆👍 I was pretty happy! I don’t usually camp in tents this big. I definitely enjoyed having all the extra space and luxury items on such a rainy day. A fun change of pace but I’m looking forward to getting back into the mountains for a proper hike. Especially now that the days are starting to get a bit longer. Appreciate the comment. Hope you have a great weekend!
That tent is big and nice.❤.dont forget the food look very delicious too😊.
Definitely a luxurious amount of space for one compared to my normal backpacking tents 👍. I was pretty happy with how the wings turned out using a different cooking method than I normally use. Really appreciate the comment! ATB
That was pure luxury, which the conditions totally justified. I guess the worse the conditions, the more this setup makes sense, just stay indoors and chill.
👍😀 the extra space and luxury items definitely made this a much more comfortable camp.
The feeling of camping in the rain is incredible! tasty meal! Another great camp my friend, congratulations.
Thanks man! It’s definitely always nice to fall asleep to the sound of rain. Appreciate you watching as always. ATB
Really enjoyed the video! Thank you for sharing with us!
Glad to hear it! Thank you for watching taking the time to comment! ATB
@@GoingSoloOutdoors your welcome!
Love the sound of rain while in the tent. Lots of room very spacious . You prepare meals like a chef always looks so good. Great camp out.
Thanks! The sound of the rain all night really added to the enjoyment of this camp. Such a great sound 👍. A nice meal always helps 😀. Really appreciate the comment. ATB
Great video! Me and my partner always look forward to watching them on a rainy afternoon
That’s great to hear! Really appreciate the two of you watching. Hope you both have a nice weekend. ATB
If I was served that plate, of food in a restaurant, I would be very happy!!👍👍
😀🙏 I would as well. Very happy how they turned out. Thanks for taking the time to leave a comment!
Love the ambience of this video. Tent looks amazing!
Thanks! It was definitely one of the most relaxing camps I’ve had 🔥👍😀. Sound of the rain with the fireplace roaring was just the best!
I have watched some of your videos and I am happy for you not having to have one of those nightmare nights with strong winds, minus degrees and tent walls beating up your face. This tent you used is great! You should make this your standard tent. And buffalo wings to eat was a good choice.
This camp was very comfortable and relaxing 😀. I do really enjoy this tent but it’s not appropriate for backpacking as it weighs nearly 20lbs so I only use it on trips where I am not traveling very far. Love buffalo wings 👍😀. Really appreciate you watching!
Man you looked so happy. Great video!! I'm glad the Nemo Extreme behaved perfectly well this time. Oh, and the wings... Argh, you made wanna be in the US just for eating wings. Thnx for sharing again!!
I definitely was a happy camper on this trip. Much more downtime to just relax! I was much happier with how the Nemo extreme performed. However, I was not in subfreezing temperatures and I’m not sure if I’ll even see those temps again before winter ends. It’s definitely a comfortable pad, though like my other Nemo. I think Buffalo wings would be a nice addition to the normal pub cuisine 👍. Although it might feel a little out of place. Appreciate the comment as always. Hope you’re having a nice weekend!
Love it. Nice to be able to glamp now and then!
Thanks! It was definitely nice to have the extra space and a few more luxuries on a day like this 👍
Love the rain on the tent and the fire just perfect. You looked and sounded very content and happy. Lovely to watch. Thank you.
Thanks. It’s always great to get out for a camp. Having a bit more space with a few more luxury items was really nice in this kind of weather. It definitely helped to make this a very relaxing camp. Appreciate you taking the time to comment!
Great film again Todd. Wildish Glamping! Nothing like the sound of rain on a tent 👍🏻
Thanks buddy! A bit different than my normal camps but a very relaxed camp. Really enjoyed getting to listen to the rain all night 👍.
That tent sets up similar to my Alaskan Guide tent. But it's worth it, the most solid tent that I have ever owned! Love the videos.
👍 Nice! I could definitely see this design being great as a guide tent. The pole structure is solid! It’s wasn’t the easiest tent to setup by yourself in the wind wind but once it was up it didn’t move. Really appreciate the comment! ATB
Saved this to watch when I had a quiet relaxing moment,I wasn't disappointed I felt like I was sat in there with you.
Good job you didn't pitch near the river pal.
Awesome keep 'em coming,your vids are some of the best out there.👍
Thank you, I really appreciate that! Pitching by the river definitely would have been a mistake 😅. I knew we were suppose to get a lot of rain but I didn’t expect it to be that much. Nice to have a really relaxing camp but I’m now itching to get back into the mountains!
Looking forward to this will watch it later this evening 😊 Looks like a new Tent looks amazing .
Hope you enjoy it 😀. Definitely nice to have a bit more space in this weather! ATB
Thats an awesome tent! Looks like you had a really comfy camp! Great video! 🤠
Thanks man! It was definitely nice to have this much space with quite a few luxury items when you’re stuck in the tent 👍. Your Snow camp is still on my watch list. We have half term break next week so I’m gonna try to watch it then. Hope you have a nice weekend!
@@GoingSoloOutdoors thanks! Have a great weekend you too!
Great tent. Beautiful setting. Thank you for camping for arm chair camping lovers.
Thank you for watching! It definitely was a very comfortable camp for a rainy day 👍😀
The only thing missing inside that tent is a flush toilet.
How long did it take you to get accustomed to right hand side steering & driving on the wrong side of the road?
I'm thinking the same thing you're thinking, "Why didn't I bring one of my Hilleberg tents?" Gotta admit, it's always interesting to see what you're going to fix for your meals.
You always cook up some meals that look nutritious, tasty, & filling.
Warm Regards from Reno, Nevada, U.S.A.
🤣👍 if it had a proper toilet I could almost live here. Finding a spot to dig a hole and then getting rained on in the process wasn’t the most comfortable morning trip to the toilet. I do love my Hillebergs and I already have my eye on another for next winter 😅. It’s embarrassing but I just really love their tents. Cooking while at camp is definitely a highlight for me so it’s nice to hear that others find it interesting. It’s always really convenient to cook on a wood stove as well. It’s almost like using the stove at home. Enjoy your comments as always 😀. It’s almost that time of the year to bring the Enan back out!
@@GoingSoloOutdoors The Enan, with two additional guylines at both ends with LONGER pegs & big heavy rocks atop the pegs hold my Enan in place when Mother Nature is in one of her strong gusty winds mood when I'm above 9,000' elevation in the high Sierras.
Gathering big heavy rocks is the FIRST thing I do even B4 I unroll my tent to pitch it. I pound a peg into the ground & reach for a nearby big heavy rock & put it on top of the peg B4 moving on to the next peg. When I pound a peg into hard or soft ground I don't want it pulled out by Mother Nature.
you definitely looked mor relaxed and comfortable on this one. that's pretty impressive making your own blue cheese dressing and the wings looked like perfection.
Thanks Dave! Having a bit more downtime on this trip combined with the extra space and weather definitely made for a relaxing camp. I like when recipes are pretty simple like this. Just a few ingredients and it tastes much better than any store purchased dressing 👍. I highly recommend you give it a try. Really appreciate the comment. Hope you’re having a nice weekend!
@@GoingSoloOutdoors thank you, I will try the blue cheese, it’s my favorite anyway. Have a great day.
Good to see you back and I always like to watch your videos n have seen all of them.....
Always nice to get back out. Really appreciate the continued support 😀👍
What is the model of that Pomoly fold up stove ? Did it do a good job of heating the tent ? I guess it would need feeding more often and cool off quick. I have a Nortent Gamme 4, a size large Winnerwell Nomad which I think is overkill so I use their Woodlander medium in it. I'm interested in how these smaller titanium stoves perform. Also looking at getting the X6 version of this tent. Several clips I've seen on these tents report minimal leaks occasionally, but nothing a little maintenance can't fix.
This is the Pomoly T1 mini 3. It did a great job heating the tent. You definitely have to feed it a bit more than a larger stove but once you have a good coal base it purrs along quite nicely 👍. I really love the size and shape of this tent. Appreciate you watching!
Looks like a perfect tent for family adventures. Think I'll get one!
Very excited to use this tent with the family in the spring and summer 👍
The closed captions showed [Applause] when you drove through the mud right at the beginning. Pretty much sums up the video. Applause!
😆👍 I should probably look at the closed captions at some point to see if it accurately works. Really appreciate you watching. Hope you have a nice weekend!
Great video! As always, very informative and relaxing to watch.
Thanks! A bit different than usual but a very relaxing trip 😀👍
I absolutely love this video!!!! Hey you even did the wings correctly with blue cheese!!! Buffalo car camping in the UK !! It's like a little bit of my home in that beautiful countryside... Thank you my friend
Thanks man! Gotta have blue cheese with buffalo wings. 🙌👍. Hope you have a great weekend!
Quality as always Todd.Tent is awesome.Food also.Tent is a decent price!Keep it going mate.Stay safe.🏴
Thanks man! Definitely a comfortable place to hangout on such a cold wet day. I had a lot of fun on this one 👍. As always, really appreciate the comment!
Another great camp! We like hearing that rain hitting the tent as well. You need to leave the camera roll for five minutes or so, with the rain and the fire in the background.
Thanks! Glad you enjoy the sound of the rain but I typically don't leave the camera rolling for that long just because it makes the video longer which increases the file size and the time it takes for the video to upload. Where we live our internet connection is unfortunately not all that great so it takes over a day as it is just to upload a video 😅. I am not sure of the channel name but there is actually a channel on UA-cam that is all about just showing a fire and sometimes rain. If I remember the name I will update this reply 👍. ATB
Man that tent is a serious piece of gear the removable floor seems like such a game changer once everything is in you don't have to leave, nothing worse then having to put on all the water proofs again to just go outside for a few minutes. Another great video Love them all⛰⛰
It was definitely a departure from my normal backpacking tents but I have to admit it was extremely relaxing having all those luxury items with me. Especially with the fire going while it’s raining outside. I just really wish we got more snow here so I could use it in proper winter conditions. I’m looking forward to using it in the summer with my family though. Appreciate the comment. Hope you have a nice weekend!
Great car camping spot and why not when you have the place to yourself. As always the food looked great!
Thanks! Definitely a nice spot to spend the evening 👍
Great video Todd,that tent looks an awesome bit of kit👍👍
Thanks! Looking forward to using it this spring and summer with the family 👍
Wow, what luxury!!
It was nice to have a few more luxuries on this camp. Made for a very relaxing night 😀. Appreciate the comment!
Cheers buddy another great night in the tent 😊
Such a cozy camp 👍😀
Morning from Aus. Thats great you spent time here. The walking is very different here to there. It made me complacent eg we are at about 700m with a few mountains at 1000m and whilst we do get storms and a flicker of snow, its pretty good (just dont walk in bushfire peaks), so when i got to the UK i thought “piece of cake”… then the weather dramatically sets in and if you dont have the right gear its a challenge. Lol. Oh- that solo walk you did over thise “knife edge” peaks was pretty hairy. I certainly couldnt do that on my own
The weather here in the UK has definitely taken some getting used to. You never know what your going to get 😅. It’s actually one of the reasons why I just prefer using my Hilleberg tents now. If the weather turns I can trust them. It probably wasn’t the wisest decision to hike Crib Goch on my own. I was actually really surprised I was able to get the ridge all to myself. But and incredibly beautiful spot!
I've not come across your videos before and really enjoyed it. I'm actually looking for a decent sized dome hot tent to use for winter fishing trips so it was very relevant to me on this occasion so a double thank you and look forward to going through your back catalogue of videos. many thanks for sharing .
Welcome to the channel! I really enjoyed the space of this hot tent. It even comes in a larger size. Really appreciate you watching and taking the time to comment! ATB
A thoroughly enjoyable video, thanks.
That’s excellent to hear 👍😀. It was a very relaxing trip! Appreciate you taking the time to comment. ATB
Perfect!!!!! Impressed with your Blue Cheese.Only 1 thing! MORE Rain😁
Thanks! Pretty simple to make and much tastier than anything I’d get in the store. I’m sure you’ll see more rain at some point. Really appreciate you watching and taking the time to comment!
@@GoingSoloOutdoors Thank you! Great content. I'm a bit older now, yet spent many nights alone in a small tent recharging to the sound of rain, a tasty meal, and The Good Book. Waking refreshed and Blessed.
Awesome as per usual . Would have loved to have seen you canoe up the river maybe next time . Have you ever thought of paddle boarding and camping ? I’m going to try that this year . Look forward to the next video 👍
Thanks! I did a paddle board camp back in June 2023. Take a look at my back catalog of videos. It was a really fun camp!
Just watched it , what an amazing set up looks massive inside Looked so cosy with the sound of the rain and the crackling of the hot stove fire .Cooking as always looked delicious You could tell you love the whole set up Can see some enjoyable family camping holidays in that what a beast of a tent
It was very relaxing sitting next to a warm fire with the sound of rain. Having a few extra luxury items didn’t hurt 😀. I’m definitely looking forward to getting out with the family in the spring and summer. I actually will probably try coming back to this area. It would be nice to bring the paddleboard and let the kids play in the river. Really appreciate the comment as always! ATB
Absolutely fantastic work my friend 👏👏
Thanks! A bit of a change from the usual but it was definitely one of the more relaxing camps I have had in a while. Hope you have a nice weekend. ATB
Always love your videos. Now my wife does too now watching ur cooking. Shes like shall we do the last meal he made.
That’s awesome! I really appreciate you both watching. I am currently working on a website where I can share the recipes for all the meals I’m making on these camps. I normally cook to taste but I’m trying to do better at measuring ingredients. So if you’re interested hopefully I’ll have it up and running pretty soon 😀👍.
Everybody should get to do a bit of glamping now and then. Thanks for sharing!
It was definitely an enjoyable time 👍😀
My hubby and I have so enjoyed this camp my friend. We have some catching up to do on your adventures, because we have had a very busy few months. 😊
Really happy to hear that you liked it. A bit different than usual but very relaxing 😀👍. Thank you for continuing to watch the videos!
@GoingSoloOutdoors its a pleasure. Most are turning to ghost rubbish and / or begging stories, so you, my friend, are refreshing.
Fantastic 💙👍
Thank you 😀. Hope you’re having a nice weekend!
@@GoingSoloOutdoors thank you, wish for you all ❤️💙
New tent is very good nise camping God bless you and your family
The extra space was definitely very nice on a day like this. Really appreciate the comment! Hope you have a nice weekend 😀
Hi again , your videos are addictive!.!,! Easy and relaxing enjoy that you do camping with rain. Most guys would prefer good weather, I enjoy all elements, rain, Snow,wind,heat,cold.All four letters weather. Take care.Signed Jim
If I’m going on a longer hike I typically enjoy good weather as well but I do enjoy that feeling when you get in the tent and out of the elements. And the sound of rain on the tent fly is pretty great 👍
Great video. Enjoyable.
Thank you! It was a very relaxing camp 👍
Great video Definitely a spot to come back to.
Thanks. Excited to come back here with the family this spring/summer
Great video mate. Always knock up a decent meal too.I’ve got some of that sauce in the cupboard. I’ll be trying that soon 👍
You should, just 3 ingredients and you’re done 👍. Appreciate the comment! Hope you have a great weekend 😀
@@GoingSoloOutdoors thanks, hope you have a great weekend too 👍
Greetings from Finland. Thank You for the videos. I have just recently found your channel and I love it. And I also love all your amazing tents 😄 Myself I normally do a longer bikepacking trip once a year and a few smaller trips. And I also prefer Trangia with cooking. After watching just a few of your videos, I have found many great tips to camping and making food that I can use in my coming trips. Thanks a lot. Have a good hikes and please keep making these great videos 🤟
Greetings and welcome to the channel. Finland is high on my travel list! As someone who likes to cook outside, Trangia cooksets are definitely some of my all time favorites. Happy to hear that you’re enjoying the videos. I still need to try a bikepacking trip. That’s one of the few types of camping I haven’t really done. I need to change that. Really appreciate you watching and taking the time to comment. Hope you have a great weekend. ATB
I'm new to your channel you did the algorithm right! I love camping videos. I have a one tigris rock fortress and winnerwell xl stove.
Nice! I’ve heard good things about both that stove and tent 👍. Appreciate you taking the time to comment! ATB
Hey my man I just want to stop and leave a comment and tell you how much I enjoyed that camp that was a lovely tent spacious too going solo love the videos till the next adventure 👍p.s when are you going to bring some whiskey😂
It was nice to have the extra space and a few extra luxuries in this kind of weather. Made for a much more relaxing camp. Thank you so much for taking the time to comment! Maybe I will take a bit on this next camp 👍. ATB
Very different from your 'usual' camps, but great to watch nonetheless. It must have been great to have all that space and warmth to move about in in the rain. My wife and I were both very impressed with your 'cooked from scratch' Buffalo Wings too - they looked delicious, and a massive plateful, so you certainly weren't going hungry. We will certainly need to try that recipe at home sometime. As you say potentially a bit messy in a smaller tent though! Great video, thanks... Keep them coming.
Thanks! This was definitely a bit different than my usual camps but extremely relaxing. I enjoyed having the extra space and a few extra luxuries on a day like this. It was also nice to make something I wouldn’t normally make on a backpacking trip. You should give them a try. Pretty simple to make and very tasty. Appreciate the comment. Hope you two have a nice weekend.
What boots are you wearing in this video? My wife and I love your content and recently subscribed!
These are the Kamik Hudsons Insulated Winter Boot. They are really old so I am not sure if they make them anymore but they’ve been great 👍. Really appreciate the support!
You’re videos are amazing! Keep up the great work.
hey bro This is great, never reduce the charm and quality of your videos
Thanks! Just going to keep sharing my trips and hopefully eat well along the way 👍😀. Really appreciate the comment! ATB
Absolutely love this! The tent stood up to hours of rain with barely a single drop of leakage. I’ve recently got the Pomoly Leo 2 hot tent which is perfect as a one man, this looks such a good option if you are pulling a pulk, canoeing or truck camping. Can’t stretch to £650 atm but May in the future. Thanks mate ATB
I was definitely impressed. I need to actually lookup the rain totals we received. The road I took to l get out here was underwater by the next day. So much flooding. It would have been nice if we actually got the snow that was originally predicted because I could have pulled it in my pulk or used the canoe as I had originally planned. I’m definitely still excited to use it over the spring and summer with my family. The 360° of mesh panels were the feature I actually liked the most about this tent. It will be nice that the kids can just walk into the tent as well instead of everyone having to crawl into our other tent. Really appreciate the comment. Hope you have a nice weekend!
@@GoingSoloOutdoors I appreciate the detailed reply mate. Thanks and the same to you!
Great video as usual Todd. Thanks. Are you never concerned that the stove will melt the ground sheet/footprint?
Thanks! There is a section built into the ground sheet that is meant for the stove. It is fireproof so you don’t ever have to worry about the stove damaging that area 👍
@@GoingSoloOutdoors Good to know.
Great videos! Love from Oregon-
Thanks you for watching 😀!
Happy Friday from sunny California! ;) I’ll be honest I check your channel almost daily hoping a new vod drops!
Yes we all know here that you have a “Tent addiction” and it’s ok to seek help haha jk. At least you have the best quality taste in tent brands & gear. Thank you for sharing everything with us and hope all is well for you in the new year so far! 🤙🏻 🤙🏻
My wife reminds me all the time of my tent addiction 😅. I feel bad I can’t get out and make a video a bit more often but if you checkout my Instagram page I am able to post pictures and short videos of my little hikes into the forest weekly. Really appreciate that you keep coming back to the channel!
Great camp I loved that tent and the fire.
Your food looked 👌
I hope you got the tent dry in the end.
I hate that bit of camping.
Atb Graham
Thanks Graham! It was definitely relaxing sitting next to a warm fire listening to the rain all night. Drying the tent was a terrible 😂. It rained a few day after this camp so I couldn’t pitch it outside to dry and it’s just so big it was even difficult to hang in our small garage but I was eventually able to get it clean. Appreciate the comment!
@@GoingSoloOutdoors
Look forward to your next camp
What do you think of that new vern 1 tent it looks really good?
I really like the pole design and the fact that it’s now a double wall tent. I think it will make it a much more versatile tent, especially compared to the PC version that I purchased. I also think it will perform really well in the wind although I don’t think it will be as quiet in the wind as the PC version. But not having to worry about condensation is a big improvement. I will be getting one to checkout. I am not going to make any of the bold claims that I have seen others make so far 🙄. Especially since most have not even had a chance to properly test it in all conditions. But I can’t deny it looks like a very promising competitor to the Soulo. But as you probably already know I LOVE my Hillebergs! The Vern won’t be a handmade like my Hillebergs but if it’s like the PC version I expect the quality to be very good. Only time will tell if it performs well in challenging conditions. But if it does, it may prove to be a cheaper alternative to a Hilleberg. I’m just happy to see more competition because at the end of the day. We the consumers are typically the ones that benefit 👍
@@GoingSoloOutdoors
Yeh me too
I would love a soulo it’s my dream tent.
but cost at nearly 1k is so high. I’m hoping people say it’s good so may go the vern way 🤷♂️
Cheers G
It looks like it will be. My only concern is that they are shipping it with a seam sealant. I am hoping this is just a courtesy. They use the same flat fell sewing method as Hilleberg, which is fantastic. It should mean that you don’t need to seam seal the entire tent as I have never had to with any of Hillebergs but it is a mass produced tent so I want to see how good the seams are in person. And I don’t plan on sealing it unless I absolutely have to. I have a feeling it will be fine and if that’s the case it should be a great alternative that’s also going to provide you with a bit more space which is the only thing I wish the Soulo had.
I enjoyed the video of your camp. Thanks for sharing. Your dinner was excellent as always. The only time I have fires is when I stay at a scout while doing DofE expeditions. It does make it a bit special. What fleece were you wearing? It doesn’t look like they still make it. My most recent purchase was a Fjallraven Skogso jacket in suede brown and I really like it.
I agree, hanging out by a fire always adds a little something special to a camp 👍🔥. I’m wearing the Fjallraven Sten Fleece. Probably my most worn article of clothing just around town and at home. Simple and warm. I bought it years ago so I’m not positive but I definitely recommend it if they do 👍. Appreciate the comment!
Such a cosy video. Near fell asleep listening to that rain. You have probably already said, but where did you get that mug? Keep up the good work Sir.
It was a very cosy camp. Nothing quite like listening to the sound of the rain on a tent as you go to bed 👍. I got this kuksa on a trip to Norway with my family over the summer. Such a great trip! Hope you have a nice weekend. Appreciate the comment.
This tent is nicer than a lot of the flats I've stayed in.
😂👍 same! It certainly has more nearly more space than a one bedroom apartment I had when I lived in NYC in my early 20s.
Love this. I'm going to seriously look at this to use as a base as I'm going to be spending long periods of time up in Scotland doing wildlife photography. Next year. Being able to dry kit out would make things so much more comfortable. Do you think it would stand up to Scottish winter?
I think if it was anchored properly with all the guys yes. Keep in mind it’s a very heavy tent though so you probably won’t be able to hike very far with it unless you are pulling it on a pulk. If you are looking for a tent to keep up for long periods of time I would maybe look at what Nortent offers as well in its polycotton fabrics.
@@GoingSoloOutdoors thanks so much for your reply. I’ll check out Nortent after my flight to the uk.
You are awesome keep the great work you do UPS
Thanks. Appreciate you watching 👍
Your content is better than other campers on you tube you deserve millions of subscribers and views. Lots of love nd respect from kashmir. I needed to comment so that you dont stop making videos. May Allah bless and guide you❤
You are too kind. Thank you for watching and taking the time to comment! I really appreciate the support 🙏
Nice change of pace mate👍
I agree 😀👍. I haven’t had this much down time on a camp in a very long time. Quite relaxing! I’m itching to get back into the mountains though.
I have been looking at these for a while now, I have a Russia Bear Hot Tent, paid plenty and great hot tent but 78 pounds, been looking at this one on your video and hoping to get a channel up and running soon, see yours and your video finally made me make the jump, looks like a great tent, given would been nicer but ordered and paid but sounds like not in stock, 40 to 50 days, so we will see. Great video.
I would think you could spray a little water proof spray on that sometime when it s dry you would think.
I doubt it would really need it for many years 👍
I’m really liking this tent so far. Held up really well to the rain and winds. This isn’t the lightest tent but at 20lbs it’s pretty big and has some really nice features for that weight. It even has an inner tent which I didn’t use in the video which might be nice in the summer months when it’s a bit more buggy out. Really appreciate you watching and taking the time to comment! Good luck with your channel! ATB
Totally empathise what you mean regarding not wanting to be around people ( whilst camping ⛺️). I’m like that 90% of the time. Apart from The Scoobs, who is a life essential.
Good video. 😃👍🐶
It’s definitely nice to feel like you are alone in a pretty place. A dog companion would be nice though. Really appreciate you taking the time to comment! ATB
@@GoingSoloOutdoors watched your video at 5am this morning. Just 3 month ago diagnosed with R/Hip osteoarthritis, so my adventuring & hiking days are over. Still, grateful that in my younger days ie 20 years ago, I got to climb Snowdon in Wales, & did loads of hiking/camping in the Yorkshire Dales, which is a lovely part of England.
Yes a dog 🐕 is a great companion, loyal, dogs have an inbuilt perceptory & they know when you’re not fully functional, & compensate for it accordingly with no judgment.
Will continue to watch your other videos.

What country are you in? It looks like the UK but your butter looks American? It's the wrong shape for the UK. And your mini is right hand drive also? If so where did you get that tent and stove from? Amazing set up. I generally glamp in a bell tent with sheepskin rugs and tealight chandeliers but I'm thinking of trying to simplify and solo camp this year if possible. This setup would be great for me 😁👍
In the UK. We have access to a commissary so we can get a few American products. The tent and stove are from Pomoly. Bell tents are great 👍. This tent is definitely still a bit heavy but pretty easy to setup and provides a nice amount of space. And the stove adds a ton of warm comfort. Really appreciate you watching and taking the time to comment. ATB
Amazing work bro! Love the aesthetics of camping. Video is amazing very relaxing. Enjoyed your video! Definitely got a subscriber here! Thanks you for creating this type of content this is what I look for.

Really glad you liked the video Ricky! It’s always a pleasure to go camping in these mountains regardless of the conditions. Appreciate you taking the time to leave a comment. ATB
Great vid! Your heavy duty boots, Salomon?
Thanks! They are a pair of Kamik insulated winter boots 👍. Appreciate you taking the time to comment!
Like I siad before got to be my favorite cooking channel 😂. Don't blame you for getting a free tent that you would have Bought away . I already get the feeling that yours is a genuine wild camping channel unlike some of the other bullshit channels that are getting there free nortents. There's one in particular (Bullshit uk) that will tell you shit with sugar on it is a tasty treat as long as a company sends him some free sugar he already has enough of the other stuff already 😂 ATB, look forward to the next video😉
😂👍 Wasn’t my intention to become a cooking channel but I am really glad you’re enjoying the cooking parts of the video. I know many come just to see a camp so it makes me happy to hear the cooking stuff isn’t boring. I really enjoyed those wings! I actually made them again for my wife and kids at home only two days later because I was so happy with them 🤣. I did see some of the early videos on the new silnylon version of the Vern 1 that you’re referring to. I understand people being excited for a tent, but I was definitely disappointed to hear so many bold claims when it hasn’t even been properly tested yet. I think it will definitely be a bit better suited for the conditions here in the UK than the PC version so I will be getting it to test out as well. However, I am a little concerned to see they are shipping tubes of seam sealant with the tent. I am hoping it is just a courtesy and that you don’t actually need to use (it doesn’t inspire confidence). Apparently they are using the same flat fell seam sewing technique that Hilleberg uses and I have never had to fully seam seal a new Hilleberg so I will not be seam sealing the new Vern. It’s definitely cheaper than a Hilleberg but it’s also not handmade like a Hilleberg. Like anything only time will tell if it’s actually any good. Gotta say British weather is probably one of the best places to test a tent though 😂. Really appreciate the comment. Hope you have a nice weekend!
@@GoingSoloOutdoors Todd thanks for your quick and full reply. I will look forward to your initial impression of the said tent (I hope you also get a free one?). But nobody can do a proper review until they have used it for a while in all types of weather. I think you can guess at the channel I was referring too! He doesn't know the difference between a first impression and a proper review. 😉
@Johnnygee10 I completely agree. I don’t do review videos but if I did. I think you would need to at least use the gear for probably an entire year in all conditions before I could give it a proper full review. Especially if it’s a four season tent. I mean we’re coming to the end of winter here so I doubt anyone’s even going to get to pitch this tent in the snow. And some four season tents are not even usable in the summer because they don’t have enough ventilation. These are all things I would expect a review video to have. I typically try not to even talk about the gear all that much in my videos but I do love gear so I definitely share any thoughts I may have while out camping. After seeing some of those first videos that came out I actually contacted Nortent. They had said in the comment section of my Vern 1 PC camp that they’d like to see me use the updated version when it comes out. To be honest, I was a bit surprised they want me to have a look at it after that video but I suppose that’s good. So they said they would send one. I won’t be doing a review but just using it as I would use any of my other tents. It’s more about the camp and the cooking channel 😂👍. I’m assuming it will keep me dryer compared to my PC version because now it’s a double wall design, but only time will tell 👍.
@@GoingSoloOutdoors Todd Thanks again for your reply to my second comment. What it must be like to compromise your principles and have no integrity for the sake of a free tent and other gear. I think Donna van senoir (small youtube channel) put it best, ....She's a wild camper that does youtube and not a youtuber that does wild camping. I think you are definately in that catagory 👍😉
Genial 👍😃👌😂🎉
😄👍🙏
looks almost too civilized, if that's possible. Love the videos. How old do you reckon those Oaks are?
👍😀 This was an extremely cosy camp. Almost like being in a cabin. I’d say that oaks probably around 200 years old at least. Beautiful tree 🌳. Appreciate you watching. ATB
Great 👍 vid I'm glad I saw you taking ur gear in a mini I've been looking at them are you on Facebook luv 2 show my magic carp tent I want to use next camp and wot an awesome location I'd b rite happy there payin rent to a landowner and l could live there off grid
Thanks! I do like our mini countryman although I wish we would have gotten it with all wheel drive. I’m not on Facebook only Instagram and UA-cam 👍. It was definitely a nice place to spend the night. Appreciate the comment. Hope you have a nice weekend!

Hi 👋 question will any hot tent do seen a good 1 on Amazon teepee 1 & a stove 4 £150
@@alunjones9153 the stovehut 70 I have is only $170 and it has done great.
What stops the rain from coming into the tent through the hole in the stove jack?
The space for the stove pipe is quite small so that blocks the 99% of the rain. In a heavy downpour a little rain might run down the stove pipe but it typically evaporates before even reaching the stove 👍. Thanks for watching
That must be such a unique place to backpack. You don't have to worry about predatory wildlife, and I bet it would feel a bit like a Tolkien adventure.
The mountains here absolutely feel like something out of Lord of the Rings 🤣. Not having the predatory wildlife is definitely convenient when you have to cook in the tent half the time because it’s either too windy or rainy. However, I kind of miss seeing more wildlife like I did back in the states. Appreciate the comment. Hope you have a nice weekend!
Stupendaaaa Bellissima ❤
Grazie mille
Great video. My only concern is the stove and wood in the middle of the door seems like they needed 1 more day on the designing process 😂
Thanks! There are actually 3 doors 👍. I just like to use that one by the stove to vent a lot of the excess heat and it’s nice to be able to look out the door and look at the stove at the same time. Plenty of room to get by the stove. But you can easily just use another door if that’s a concern. Really appreciate you watching.
@@GoingSoloOutdoors oh well that changes everything then. Awesome tent !! Have good day and keep the videos coming.
Have you tested out the Pomoly Leo 2? I'm considering buying that.
I haven’t but I like that it’s freestanding 👍. Pretty cool design with all the venting options as well. Ventilation options is probably one of the best feature I’ve seen with many of the Pomoly tents. It makes it a much more versatile hot tent that you can use in the warmer months as well 👍. Planning on using this tent with the family this spring/summer. Appreciate the comment.

Welcome to the channel. I really appreciate the support! 🙏😀
Rain on tent sounds like popcorn popping lol
Haha it does a bit. I was also getting big drops from dripping from the branches of the tree above the tent. Those really sounded like popcorn popping 😆. Appreciate the comment. ATB
Do you have a link to the Fjall Raven blanket, can't seem to search for it.
I don’t have a link but try typing Fjallraven Ovik Blanket 👍
Hi 🙌 What cameras do you use?
I use a Fujifilm XT4, GoPro 12 and an IPhone 15 Pro Max 👍
@@GoingSoloOutdoors thank you very much 🫡
