Wild Camping in the Rain | A Camp in the Galloway Forest Park, Scotland
During the weekday, myself and a few others from the Monty Outdoors community went for a wet wild camping trip to Loch Bradan in the Galloway Forest Park. The drizzle and rain was pretty constant, but thankfully generally light. There was a bit of wind, but we were in a sheltered spot. Some new equipment to review with a surprise from Ayrshire Camper with his vintage Vango tent! It was a mild night and mild sleep and I am so far, very impressed with the Edeuoey sleeping mat. Enjoy :)
Look after yourselves, and again, thanks for the kind messages regarding my health x

the atmosphere is so beautiful
Hey :) Glad you enjoyed it and thanks for the kinds words!
Hi Monty I watch you and Gaz the explorer out camping in our wild Scottish weather yous are brilliant and brave and scenery is always beautiful
The campfire is always the best bit for me. Fab video.
Oh I can make the best, Permie! Have you been able to get out this weekend?
No I was working all weekend, the jazz festival was on here. Hopefully soon though.
It actually looked a good fire, took your time to build it better.
@@permiescot1110 I prefer a fire that has it's wall made of wood because they deflect the heat back into the fire making it hotter. Burn quicker, but it will be warmer! Hope you get your camp soon :) I'm jealous with you living in Calander!
I'm hoping to get out next week with my brother and a friend to Loch venacher. What a difference having it on your doorstep.
Well done Monty, trooper!
Thank you, sir!
Another great camp, thanks for the view…😎🏴
Cheers, Jock. No problem at all, sir!
Great setup guys. 👌
Thanks, Jonathan!
Great channel keep up the good work Monty
Thanks so much, really appreciated :)
Always a good watch 👌love your adventures rain or shine 😎👌⛺️
Cheers mate! How are you and Buddy?
Well you do like the rain 🌧I'm liking how light your tent is.
Wouldn't ask for it any other way
Reminds me of my first tent over thirty years ago..Vango Micro Odessey. Still have it... although many other passed by.
How did the tent perform? Thanks for sharing, mate.
@@MontyOutdoors used it during my year in Australia, layer on many years of seakayaking and many other adventures. So a good tent it was....
Gd video ..I can't wait to try it myself...just looking at tents mats n sleeping bags for winter use
What are you thinking about getting, Terry?
Looking at the terra nova pioneer 2 ...or the naturhike cloud peak 2 m8
camp vlogging is So amazing sir.
Thank you very much 😀
As always, great video. Always a pleasure to watch 👍
There he is, the winner! I'll e-mail you shortly :) And thanks again, mate.
@@MontyOutdoors no Monty, thank you.... For your inspirational videos, and the chance to win such a great prize 👍
@@lomino6478 Aw thanks, mate! No problem at all! I'm doing another tent giveaway soon!
@@MontyOutdoors not going to enter that one, give someone else a chance...... Unless its a hilleberg 😂
Great video. I like how your mates sitting in covered area, watching you introducing their camp tent.⛺️⛺️⛺️ they wearing same outfit (blue jackets)👍💜🇦🇺👀
Thanks Crissa! And I never noticed we were all wearing blue jackets, someone else said it to haha.
class video as usual bud 👍👍
Cheers, sir. Legend 👍
Great crack in Galloway! 👍
Glad you enjoyed, mate! Thanks for watching :)
Hi there Monty! All looked very atmospheric with the misty rain👍 Nice to see that old Vango Hurricane! Probably about the same era as the old Vango F10 I used to borrow off my brother for my first camping experiences! 😁
Des, see the only Vango F10, is it like a traditional V shaped tent? Mayve orange in colour? As I have that and will be doing a review on it soon...
Hope all is well with you and your beautiful wife! Hopefully see you up in Scotland soon!
@@MontyOutdoors My brothers was a bit later (and more portable!) than those orange ones. Can't recall what model it was though.
If you haven't already and want to see a real wet and windy camp, check out this video: ua-cam.com/video/_AzH_8gVdjw/v-deo.html&t
Good stuff 👍👍
And cheers again, handsome x
That spaghetti hoop guy is HAWT
😂
Great video monty. So relaxing to watch
Thanks, mate. I do my upmost best to help you guys become immersed into the experience.
Good vid Monty, love the 40 year old tent 👍
Thanks, Ronnie. I have the vintage Vango Force 10 that I'll be doing a video on soon!
Hi sir Indian fan your video awesome very relaxing mind
Hello friend. Great to hear you are enjoying the content. Thanks for supporting 🙏
Been bingeing these all day Monty, you're getting the credit/blame for no housework done and a new sleeping bag bought. Feel I'm ready now for my first proper camp if I can carry the pack lol, not got that bit sorted. Hope you are well and out in the rain somewhere, cheers.
😂 Sorry mate! What bag did you get? Where are you hoping on going for a camp? All well here mate thank you. Appreciate the kind words and support :D Hope all is well with you too!
Went all in and got the Rab ascent 900, ooft. For a wild camp, I haven't a clue. Been practicing in a wee local campsite which is basic but want to get out on my own. Kilsyth hills/campsies are local, all previous experience is campsites with a big tent so very new to finding a spot. Got to be right for a confidence booster.
ya beauty!
Cheers bro!
Alright! I’m the 999th like hahaha. Hello, from Indiana U.S.A keep the vids going Monty!
Sending love from Scotland, Joshua. Thank you very much, mate.
Great vid Monty, I am glad the lads brought their tarps with them , made all the difference!
Cheers, mate! You gonna be gunnin' for commission because I used your tent as the thumbnail? 😬
Nice vid! Ground hasn’t seemed to get dry for a couple of weeks! Spotted the Hobgoblin Gold! Nice beer cheap too! Took a few of those to Loch Romach this weekend! Winter is on its way!
Thanks mate. Just Googled Loch Romach and that is gorgeous! Never know, might head up there one night. Appreciate the comment mate, cheers.
I agree with alan on the sleep mats,im a side sleeper,so hard to get comfy,i have a trekology UL 80,a foil rollmat AND a 3/4inch thick rollmat!
Perfect!
I'd recommend this mat if you are a side sleeper like me and struggle to get comfy: amzn.to/3EwAGKF and the UL80 is also super comfortable for me too, especially as I have lower back issues. But thanks for watching, commenting, and sharing. Legend :).
Super super super ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Thank you! Glad you enjoyed, my friend :)
Good stuff Monty, another decent camp mate ..Plenty gear on show..cheers Stevie
Cheers, Steve. Hope you are well, mate, and hopefully see you soon.
@@MontyOutdoors I'm home on the 25th for 3 weeks, we'll get something going then mate if you want Monty
Superb again Monty, its my favourite time of year now no midgies and a chill in the air. I hope you're well fella, take care Colin.
Colin, it's my favourite time of the year as well mate. Hope you are well and all is excellent here mate, thanks!
Good video i enjoyed watching it ☺
Happy to hear, Ste. Hope you are well mate and see you tonight on the stream?
oh yeah see u on live stream later ☺
@@stephenmallcollmessexuk1484 Speak soon :).
Great vid Monty 👌
Thanks, mate. Hope you are well!
Scotland won cricket match today congratulations to Scotland cricket team 🎉
Cheers mate! Hope you are well :)
Need to re visit the galloway forest again soon . 🏕nice set up K
Cheers, Kev. I'd recommend Ballochling Loch if you ever get the chance. Pitch at the beachy bit. Plenty of wood for a fire too.
Super ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Thank you :)
Nice camp buddy!
Thanks mate 👍
Wow ⛈️⛈️❤️👈🏽.. it's raining very heavily here too in #India 🇮🇳 #Maharashtra ... With Lightening ⛈️🌩️⚡
It takes a brave man to camp in the thunder and lightning. Hope you are well, my friend!
@@MontyOutdoors absolutely right ... IAM okay 👍👍🙏❤️🌩️⛈️
Cracking vid, that wee vango looks the business for a trecking tent so may be another one for me to check out. Cheers Monty.
Mate, other than don't take it out in winds about 40mph, I love it. It's so compact as well. But thanks for popping by and supporting the channel, Danny.
@@MontyOutdoors no worries Monty. Love the no nonsense approach and the recommendation for kit
@@dannywoods6984 Cheers Danny. I'm hoping the mat lasts at least 8 trips because for a tall guy like me, who sleeps on his side and has a dodgy back: it's better than my actual bed!
another great wee video Monty
Glad you enjoyed it, mate. Thanks for watchin' and supportin' 😄
@@MontyOutdoors its something ive wanted to do for a long long time, your videos gave me the push and confidence to get out. thanks again
@@WanderingHaggis What is it you haven't tried, mate? Camping until recently?
And heading those words is what keeps this channel and community going. Thank you 😊
@@MontyOutdoors getting out on my own, trying new places. when going out before it was in groups. but, im off out exploring myself :)
@@WanderingHaggis That's great to hear! I'd love to get back to solo camps, but due to mental health reasons, I'm struggling. When with like minded people, it helps settle me.
Keep it up mate.
아주 좋아요~
Thanks for commenting :)
Another great video Monty that vintage vango tent was brilliant in its day i remember them well atb
Cheers, Brian! Big Alan wasn't happy with the amount of leaking. I thin k it was condensation by the sound of it. Any idea?
Enjoyed this video! Just discovered your channel, love it!
Cheers mate. Really appreciate the support!
Nice one Monty, I’m going for the Elixir 2.
Unless I change my mind…again!! Cheers
Mate... good luck. I've been in that position. I was out camping with someone at the weekend there and they recommended the Elixir 2.
Really enjoyed this video. I love looking at all the equipment and hearing your take on thing. Great stuff!
Are you coming camping in winter, Lainey? :D
Regarding low water levels, I think we must be in for a crazy winter. That water has got to drop at some point!
Water shortages? I hope not!
Deadly monty, considering the weather - yous were in the lap 👌 I'll be binging on your videos with a few gargles over the weekend, keep it up 😁✌️
Mate... it was a damp and breezy camp, but a belter none the less. Thanks for the support, Kevin, and enjoy your binge.
P.S.
I hate my videos pre Sept '20 😂
@@MontyOutdoors I won't ask 🙈🙉🙊
@@EireFirst2024 Content is continuously improving since then I felt 😄
@@MontyOutdoors as the saying goes - the man who never made a mistake never made anything 😉✌️
@@EireFirst2024 Wise words, sir 👏
An enjoyable wee video with an insight to an interesting little selection of tents .Good to see that the old quality tents can still cut the mustard .One of my tents is also some forty years old, being a peapod by ultimate equipment. ATB
Thanks for supporting and commenting, Graeme! Hope you are well, mate. Are you joining the stream? The community has spoken and the "tent raiding" is an essential part of the videos, so expect them! What's the tent? I have a vintage Vango F10 that I'll be doing a video on soon alongside the modern :).
@@MontyOutdoors The tent is a peapod by ultimate equipment .It`s a sloping tunnel tent from late seventies to the eighties.Very popular for mountain camping ,a fantastic little tent that has handled the worst of Scottish weather very well for me keeping me safe for the last 35 years of my some 45 years of wild camping.
@@graemesaunderson4218 Found it on UA-cam. It looks like a Banshee, but you enter from the front! Cheers for sharing mate, always for expanding my tent knowledge 👍
Always love your video's Monty, haven't watched them all but I'm getting there, the fact that come rain, wind, sun or snow.....your always out there camping in it!!! Can't believe how much your hair has grown from your very first video!!!! Keep the vids coming as I find them very motivating. MSR Elixir 2 is the tent I've always used xx
There she is! How you doing L-J? Was over the moon when I saw you enter the live stream the other night! But appreciate the kind words and support. I started growing my hair just before lockdown because I couldn't get it cut so just left it lol. Have you been able to get out much? I hope all is well with you :) And again, thanks for popping by x
@@MontyOutdoors I'm good thanks, how's you? actually I think you manage to pull off the "hippy hair" look very well ha. No I've not been able to get out wild camping for a good while now, gutted as I love my wild camping hikes especially up in the highlands but hopefully I'll be out and about next year, watching your adventure's makes sure I'm still getting to go wild camping...maybe it is second hand but its working for me for the time being. One conclusion I have come to after watching some of your vids is.....you have a cast iron stomach lad!! you definitely love your spicy food ha. I'll try to pop in again on your next live stream xx
@@l-jshikingbootslippy3431 I've been ok. I've been off work for a bit but back next week so excited! Aw no, I hope you get out soon as I remember the pain of not being able to camp during lockdown. And that's good my adventures still motivate you, that's what I like to hear :). Haha. No one can quite believe just how spicy I like my food. What's light to me, is intolerable for a lot of people. I genuinely have superhuman tolerance towards spice! No live stream this Friday but there will be one the following week, so take care for now. Really good hearing from you x
Wow
Happy to hear you enjoyed the video :D
Nice one Monty! Have to admit that mat does look comfortable. Hope it holds together! 😄 Nice little tarp shelter setup too! Cheers for another great video 👌
I've used it twice and it's been fantastic so far. Meena used it once and she loved it. So far so good. It's so wide and so long! And thanks Kris, appreciated, mate. Hope all is well!
Nice one Monty. Guid selection of gear there. Nice wee boozer tarp with the other lads 😁🍻 I need tae try this shite weather camping sometime 😉
More than welcome to join us, Kev. Me and Gaz actively seek out absolutely shocking weather lol. There's yer team currently sitting top with the Hibees up yer backside!
@@MontyOutdoors Haha cheers. Ken, moan the Hertz 🇱🇻😁
Great video cheers for sharing. Was that just a t.shirt your mate was using to keep his pillow in place?
I have no idea. I thought it was something specifically designed to trap a pillow!
@@MontyOutdoors lol it looks a good idea I am all about reusing stuff so I can cut down on weight.
@@GusExplores Stick something underneath the sleeping mat where the pillow/your head goes and that'll raise the mat. Then the pillow won't fall off. That's what I do.
@@MontyOutdoors yeah i have seen you doing that in your video. I just like to try new things and see if i am missing something that could improve the experience.
How often you use tarps Monty? ive done trekking and wild camping for a few years years now and never ever venture into tarps dont know where to start to be honest. always done tents currently using an OEX coyote 3 im 6,3 and i feel its alright size/weight for me.
As I said to another legend who supports the channel, a tarp is my favourite camping gear. I use it pretty much all the time it rains - apart from when exposed as they ain't really designed for wind. I love my tarp - Superlight DD 3 x 3, - as it means I have more freedom to move. It's also EXCELLENT and reflecting heat when having a fire - just don't get the tarp too close. Great for bivvy camps too. Then you are having the time of your life with all it's combinations. A versatile and invaluable asset in the Scottish camping world! Man I am passionate about my tarp lol.
The Coyote is a world class tent. I loved mine but it was too red and big, so I gave it away on my channel to someone. Had it out in 65mph winds and it was a champ. If you are getting a tarp, look into the DD one that permits loads of configs and has attachment points all over.
@@MontyOutdoors Will do monty ill def look into the DD tarps thanks for your supreme wisdom o great one 👌. +didnt know they did red until i saw your vid on it i ordered khaki and got green but wasnt bothered
Did you say loch bradan is where you are? I've done loch Doon and loch grannoch, looking for more areas to try
Hi Sean, this is Loch Bradan. Third time I've been here. Thoroughly recommended!
Very nice,Monty. Always love the gear rundown and scenery. I must get a tarp now, as I see it frees you from being stuck inside the tent.
Bill! The tarp is my favourite camping gear. It's so versatile. I'd heavily recommend it, mate.
LOCH BRADAN is a beautiful place I helped build a water treatment works there back in 1990 it is in the middle of bloody now where stayed in a site portacabin in middle of winter , and watched the FIRST GULF WAR on a hastily rigged up SKY satellite dish as there was nothing else to do a night or go to the pub in Straiton . Explore the wild while you still can get out before you're knees and back give way to decerped old age
Mate, I love Loch Bradan. It's the third time I've camped here and I'll no doubt do it again in the snow. My left knee is already struggling! But thanks for sharing your experience mate. Hope all is well.
I do like that MSR 2 mate, think that will be my next purchase. We going live tonight?
How you doing, Craig!? The MSR Elixir... the vestibule! I'd be more than happy with the 1, it's a wee beast. And aye mate. Half 8 x
@@MontyOutdoors I’m good bud will catch up on the live
13 percent of UK is wooded and when I look at forests around Northern England and parts of Scotland, I saw that on Google earth, most of them are immature and plantations. It broke my heart.
Mate, the whole area has been ripped apart by deforestation. I would LOVE to drive/trek through the Galloway Forest Park fully grown. It would be absolutely gorgeous. There has to be a more appropriate way than cutting down trees endlessly? Look at the Amazon too :(
@@MontyOutdoors Yeah. I agree.
Do you get a blue coat if you camp with Monty now?
Never noticed that 😂
👍👍👍👍
Cheers buddy ✌
Very enjoyable. No water. No petrol. Do you also have a shortage of H.G.V
drivers to fill up your Loch. 😫
Glad you enjoyed, sir! It's weird. Everything loch I've been to is lower than its ever been.
Have no answer. But really appreciate the time you spent filming your adventures
@@michaelsargeant5923 and I hugely appreciate your support. HUGELY.
Great wee video there Monty, nice to see some of the faces from last night's chat on there. Those MSR tents look pretty good. Do they have decent headroom?
Aye mate. As someone who is 6'3" I'd recommend them. Then there is the spacious vestibule!
@@MontyOutdoors You can't beat a spacious vestibule!

Its more of a talkshown than a camping vlog.😂😂😂
It's my dream to be a talk show host!

When you were introducing your friends. Made me laugh, strange names you have in Scotland nowadays!
Great easy watch btw. Thanks!
We are moving away from traditional naming and taking a more progressive approach 😂
And glad you enjoyed, mate. Thanks.
@@MontyOutdoors they do call me fellmandave at home. As in , sigh, 'why are you pitching the tent in the garden FELLMANDAVE'
Salaam alaikum parvez yassan think 🤔 think 🤔 think 🤔 think 🤔 think
Thanks for the kind words and I hope all is well :)
It must be awesome camping in the UK. The only dangers come from Brits and rain...
😂 The wet weather just makes it brilliant!
8200 people had watched this video before me so I thought there must be something interesting. Somebody wearing a down jacket in the rain and talking about sleep mats and vestibules doesn't do it for me I'm afraid. Nice berries though.
"Nice berries though" 😂 Howled at that.
@@MontyOutdoors They were nice berries, the scarlet berries of the rowan. The tinsmiths of old held that the redder the rowan berries were the more severe would be the approaching winter. There may be truth in this, after all scientists are fairly certain that the date of commencement of the Veery birds' annual migration from New England.to South America varies depending on.the severity of the approaching hurricane season.
I had my introduction to the great Scottish outdoors back in.the 1970s, long before youtube. There was a wee old guy from.Springburn called Tom Weir who had a series.on STV called Weir's Way in which he visited various airts and.provided interesting facts about the locale. He had an enthusiasm that came through the screen and made him a national favourite. As well as being an exceptional mountaineer (1950 British Himalaya Expedition) he was also an historian, raconteur. ornithologist and expert contriburor to several periodicals. His programmes are all now available on yputube and I commend them to ypu

Thanks!
Do more action than talking. Its boring.😯
We forgot to bring the explosives and special effects, I'll remember in future, mate.
Boring voice, was going to listen rain and thunder with black screen but just listening to this instead.
Cheers 😂
