@@MrWildWales I used to breed Staff's. Poppy looks very good to my eyes. Reminds me of one of my dogs. I've camped all over Europe, and the UK, on motor bikes, middle of nowhere, up in the woods, grass verges, surrounded by Boar, in the Ardeche, middle of the night..lol. Tony Higgins (57 yr old, wild camping on UA-cam) is a good mate, similar sense of humour. Very enjoyable. Cheers.😀
Those all day breakfasts are luxurious on a camp buddy, well happy with them but just for camping convenience only. I wish they put an easy open on them too though, nice video
You're to tents what I am to knives. 👍👍 All-day breakfast in a can, awesome, haven't had one in ages used to be breakfast on every campout 20 years ago.
Love the look of that tent going to look it up and hopefully treat myself. Great videos like the honesty not like just sell the freebies like so many UA-camrs.
Good afternoon Adam, we think dog is thinking "please don't get us washed away" lol absolutely loving the looks of this tent, not one we are familiar with! ⛺ ❤ 😍 Shame they don't include guy pegs, like you said maybe an exercise in weight reduction with so many people heavily focused in weight 🤔 proper little beast! Defo with you on the warmth and comfort 👍 Get well soon Druffus 😊 Love the line "not a normal noise" Kat says that about my belly before food! 🤭 Not to sure about the tinned breakfast, pass on that thanks Adam! 👍 Cracking video as always, catch you soon, Ceri and Kat ☕ ❤ 🗺 🎄 🏴
Think I may actually stick with this tent for a while I've been through so many this year 😂 It was a bit worrying with the wild beasts but Poppy kept me safe thanks 😁
Good evening. I don't think I've ever commented on your channel. But that was one of the best videos you've ever produced. I laughed and smile most of the way through. I loved your new tent choice. And putting it with the tarp works really well. All the best and a very Happy Christmas to you and your family.👍
That tent is very simple to put up fair play very nice indeed, new years camp out looking forward to watching that one,I sense a turkey and pigs in blankets 😀
Cracking Vid butt , the sounds you heard I would guess are a pissed off Cow , 🐄, hope u are well , Merry Christmas to you and the family and a better new year for us all , as for the the breakfast in a tin been loving em for years truck driver food , not even sorry I love em , ,
Brekkie in a tin was alright! I think with some scrambled eggs it would be perfect. It did sound a bit cow like now and again but kept making strange noises too
The animal may well be a muntjac, they make a haunting noise when they bark. A tidy tent that is, but pretty tight-arsed of Vaude to limit the number of pegs, especially how much they charge for thing!
I have been looking at the Vaude recently and went looking for a review... then noticed you have one - great stuff. That howling would have freaked me out but as Poppy didn't seem bothered I think everything was cool. The woods looks amazing - love lichen covered branches... where in Sth Wales was it? atb Alan
Got a Vaude hooped bivi.. love it. Good quality gear. Really enjoyed this video bud thank you. The Beast sounded like it was from a very old Hammer Horror film which is a bit scary out on yer own !
You OK fella. Nice to hear that wonderful accent, I'm from Newport and I love it. Two questions: what part of Wales are you and second your dog. How did you find out it was dietary problems. I've got two staffs and the one has allergies, scratching his belly. He has steroids but i rather change his diet than give him drugs. Great channel by the way, just found you's. Stay safe and be good.👌
Thanks bud I'm from the Swansea valley. Well I haven't found out her exact issue for sure. Sounds like your dog - constantly itchy. The diet seems to have improved it a bit
I think I would fold in half with that pack on 😂 Looks lie a really smart tent, not a brand that I have heard of before to be honest. Tinned all day breakfast did not look to clever though :) Great vid mate!
I don't even know how I got it that big 😂 I dont think the tins or bottle of mulled wine helped though 😬. I probably only walked 100 metres or so to this one though... cheers
Nice new tent Adam, you're getting like Dai with your tents..... sold a load to buy this.... whatever 🤣 nice camp though and your channel is doing awesome. Well done 👍
Ebay is a great way to sell your old gear to buy new gear. I've been doing it from the start but I don't have a lot of trust in ebay these days. Had a few hic ups with them a few times.selling stuff on ebay is a risk, ebay always in favour of the buyer even if they fuck your stuff up and want a refund. I sold 4 tents and a few hiking bits and that's how I got my beloved soulo
Not enough pegs…same as Big Agnes! Got a copper spur - has at least 8 pegging points (10with guys) -and only 7 pegs. Definitely to do with advertised weight😡 Their CS was pretty condescending too….not sure what we are supposed to keep tents taught with…..Will-Power….The Force perhaps?🤣 useful review …thanks👍
You won't regret that tent. I just bought the same tent, to replace a 20yr+ Hogan we've had. Our old one has been through all sorts. Crazy they don't supply decent or enough pegs though.
Lovely little spot there! Me and a mate have similar excursions in mid Wales some great spots there as well! Thinking of getting a Vaude how has it held up?
I have a Vaude winter hardshell I bought in Germany, when I moved over there for 2 years and forgot my winter 2-piece North Face jobber. It was amazing - warm as owt, never wet out. The zip failed on it after daily (winter) use for 5 or 6 years and they were fully waterproofed, so impossible to repair round here. Vaude said they'd replace for cost though I think. Just never got around to it. Expensive tackle though.
@@MrWildWales yeah, the German's we were mates with treated the brand as purveyors of upmarket technical stuff. Lots of mountaineering gear in their shops. I actually had a look at 3p of this tent a couple of years back for me and the missus, but as she only comes out with me from mid/late spring to mid/late autumn it seemed massive overkill. Ended up getting a Helm Compact 3, and myself a Svalbard 1 si for the less clement weather.
Large deer tracks are Red deer, that is one of the many warning calls they make which you can hear. Just wanted you to know it was there, keep your distance & warn all other animals of your presence. Nice tent btw 😎
Great video Adam, Your new tent looks mint, I'm a big fan of free standing tents, if one finds they haven't got their spot quite right it can be picked up and moved with ease. I've had those tinned breakfasts before and they aint up to much but they will stave off starvation 😂 ATB Daz & Andy 😁👍🏻🏕
One thing I noticed was the cord that the poles fit onto, they could wear out and snap and those plastic clips look flimsy. I like the tarp cover over the tent.
Cracking video, love a pouring rain camp. Subbed and liked just off this. Quick question if you don't mind. What jacket is that? Been searching for it since I saw this video. Narrowed it down to one of three. Put me out of my misery, will you? 🤣
Solid looking spot there, tempted to go out to the Beacons this week for a camp now. Also, would you recommend getting a stove like you have for your hot tent for just cooking, or is it not worth it?
On our last bivvy adventure we had the company of a fox nearby, making some very eerie sounds, but we considered it a privilege to have such company for the night. The weird noises of the wild can be quite disconcerting but you learn to pull yourself together quite quickly.
Hi I'm just in the process of getting a vaude tent , I've expecting a compensation payout in the next 5days I've been looking at the vaude terraquattro 3p , love ya videos mate keep up the good work
The animal noises, could it of been something that walks upright,on 2 legs with BIG-FEET? A deer stag in rut or a cow mooing excessively 🤔. Nice new tent and happy to see your well pleased with it too.👍
Not surprised at all that the Vaude tent is quality. I have their 0 degree synthetic sleeping bag and while it's a big pack size, quality wise Id say its the best sleeping bag i own. But yes, the 6 pegs is stupid, same happened with my sierra design. as you say, so it's they can claim it's a lighter weight. But looks a brilliant tent with enough room between the outer and inner, which is one thing that peeves me. By the way, definitely a Deer that noise, super weird noise they make. thanks for video, will have to look out for that tent.
@@MrWildWales If you try and imitate the noise they make, the stags will come to you... Amazing to see. I have hunted them using this method in Canada.
I’ve a border terrier with food allergies he can’t have any grain so has fish 4 dogs kibble normal food makes his ears sore ..took a while to figure it out mind
I'm torn between this and the TerraQuattro, Quattro is so much bigger but if I go out with my son that may help. It's half the weight of my old Vango Force10. Yet this could do me for my ML or Scouting Terrain 2 if/when I take them, and may offer more protection than the MLD Trailstar.
I couldn't say mate. I'm not sure where you are from but this tent has overkill for the UK conditions. Depends how far you're walking but the terra quattro seems incredibly heavy to me
@@MrWildWales North England, Yorkshire Dales. But I do winter camp with the Scouts so may take advantage of a better tent for that. How is it for size? I guess very comfortable for 1 but cramped for 2?
Yeah you've got it spot on. It's not really made for 2. You could look at the pioneer 2 which has got a porch each. That makes a difference when there is two of you.
Great solo adventure Adam. I've seen that tent many of times on ebay second hand and almost bought it myself. Does look a good tent to be fair. Its always fun to try new tents. Not sure how long it will take me to buy another as I'm pretty happy at the moment. But I'm happy to review one if a seller sends me some in the future
For multi day hiking in the summer I got the 1.2 kilo REI quarter dome 2 man. If the weather is a bit dodgy or for summit camps I got the soulo. If I'm taking the dog I will use the helm 2. Loving the helm 2 right now though. Think I will use it for them long dark nights. Still got the cloud peak 2. I'm sure I will still use that one. Different tents for different purposes I surpose lol. And we definitely got to mix it up creating these Adventures. Doubt it be long before I buy another tent lol
@@MrWildWales yeah the cloud peaks vestibule is a bit far up of the ground so be perfect for spring /summer. Let's hope the helm lives up to my expectations. We see 👍
@@MrWildWales yeah the stovehut is a bit windy in there so might use that for the summer time camping and the hex for winter.....not got a lot of space for them to go so carnt have loads of different tents
Aussie Dave here brother,... Diabetes is raging in Dogs & Cats as much as it is in Humans & it's because of Grains in their food,... They are supposed to eat MEAT :) Bring a can or 2 of Sardines for the pup,... Cheap, light, solid protein ;)
Oh, how much I love to do such camping..but... but my phobia of darkness in lonely places and eerie supernatural things...it acts as a tremendous mental block to enjoy nature from close. Any suggestions and experiences to get rid of such phobia will be appreciated. Animals and their sounds can be explained, but invisible beings... Of course they are the product of our imagination, but the nature of the phobia is such that it doesn't want to believe in logic.
Why would you be a wee bit worried about any wild critters in England? You don't have anything dangerous like we do here bears, wolves, mountain lions, little things like that. Well it certainly doesn't sound like Bigfoot. You can always come visit America and do some real wild camping :-) sounds like a cow to me.
@@MrWildWales where are you? What part of the world? P. S. I meant no disrespect. It's just that here, in the US people can get injured easily if not careful by wild critters, the kind that can eat them. Not as often as I in Africa or South America.
@@MrWildWales I grew up in the 1940's and 50's, Wales was still a part of the Island back then, tic. I have black bears, Cougars, Coyotes, but the conservation department swear there are no Wolves. They said the same thing about the Bears and Cougars till people started getting those pics on house security cameras. They are mostly not a problem if you take precautions and carry Bear Spray. Scary but the spray usually takes care of them, if it doesn't then no more worry's. Ever. That has happened to some.
@@kokopelauwebb5731 sure it's still a part of the UK. The 4 countries in it are Scotland, England, Wales and Northern Ireland 👍 sounds like you need to stay on your toes there

Seem really well thought out
Brilliant video, that Vaude looks the business, not a very popular maker but sure look fantastic. Keep up the great content 👌🇮🇪
Thank you it's a brilliant tent. In fact you've helped me decide what to take tomorrow 😂
I’m looking at the Vaude Taurus 2 , looks a cracker. You’d recommend the brand ?
Oh yeah I'd definitely get something else from them after using this tent!
The animal may well be a muntjac, they make a haunting noise when they bark. A tidy tent that is, but pretty tight-arsed of Vaude to limit the number of pegs, especially how much they charge for thing!
Yeah I think you're right it was a worrying noise when you're on your own though ha
Great video buddy and really enjoyed it. love the new tent.
Glad you enjoyed it mate 😊

Thanks very much mate!

We use a Vaude Power Lizard (with built in washing line!) for our wild camping. It's a wonderful tent. Excellent quality and very light.
I'd definitely buy from Vaude again in the future after this
All day breakfast in a can ! You can’t go wrong
Quick and easy!
@@MrWildWales Reasonably tasty for just over a £1 ! Far better value than the camping meals
That's true they are extortionate
I dig that tent man!
I take my dog sometimes and you’re right their stuff takes up so much room in the bag.

Cheers the tents great! Ha that brekkie wasn't too bad actually
Had some funny comments mate love your adventures

Yeah you've got it spot on. It's not really made for 2. You could look at the pioneer 2 which has got a porch each. That makes a difference when there is two of you.
@@MrWildWales Thanks.
I think I'll wait until closer to winter camping season then assess. The upcoming camp will be in my Vango Force10.

Out of curiosity how far do you usually hike to a camp
Probably normally a mile or two
Hope your doggo is better soon 👍 what dog blanket do you use Adam?
Shes alright as long as I keep her on these biscuits mixed with some pure meat and bones now and again. I think it was just a bargain buy from B&M!
That’s a sexy tent 🏕 😍
👌
Great solo adventure Adam. I've seen that tent many of times on ebay second hand and almost bought it myself. Does look a good tent to be fair. Its always fun to try new tents. Not sure how long it will take me to buy another as I'm pretty happy at the moment. But I'm happy to review one if a seller sends me some in the future
What's your go to tent at the moment then?
For multi day hiking in the summer I got the 1.2 kilo REI quarter dome 2 man. If the weather is a bit dodgy or for summit camps I got the soulo. If I'm taking the dog I will use the helm 2. Loving the helm 2 right now though. Think I will use it for them long dark nights. Still got the cloud peak 2. I'm sure I will still use that one. Different tents for different purposes I surpose lol. And we definitely got to mix it up creating these Adventures. Doubt it be long before I buy another tent lol
But in all honesty the helm 2 is the one I'm picking up right now
@@CampNWildWithTheDragon does look a cracking tent the helm 2 I nearly got that. I'll be using my cloud peak for warmer weather too
@@MrWildWales yeah the cloud peaks vestibule is a bit far up of the ground so be perfect for spring /summer. Let's hope the helm lives up to my expectations. We see 👍
Quality vid,,,
Thanks very much!
Nice looking tent Adam, that noise would of freaked me out haha did u hear it in the night?
Cheers no it seemed to go quiet after it went dark thank god ha
I got my hex and stovehut70 tents also got the stove so il be out soon
Nice mate the weather is starting to get colder for it now too
@@MrWildWales yeah the stovehut is a bit windy in there so might use that for the summer time camping and the hex for winter.....not got a lot of space for them to go so carnt have loads of different tents
Looks a little bit like my oex lynx evo 2 tent
Yeah thats true bud!
Your weird animal noise sounds like a cow. Ours make the same noise. Lol
It did sound cow like now and again but it was making different sounds in between
Aussie Dave here brother,... Diabetes is raging in Dogs & Cats as much as it is in Humans & it's because of Grains in their food,... They are supposed to eat MEAT :)
Bring a can or 2 of Sardines for the pup,... Cheap, light, solid protein ;)
Hmm I haven't thought of sardines nice one I'll try her with that
I'm pretty sure Asian's cook the "don't eat it's" all the time in fact they look like wood ear mushroom's from the glimpse we got
Ah right got to admit I don't know my mushies at all
Hi Adam, I hope all is well Mate.
Get Well Soon to your wing man Rufus.
The tent looks awesome.
Have you got the deminsions of the tent.

i know The woods your in There red deer
Oh, how much I love to do such camping..but... but my phobia of darkness in lonely places and eerie supernatural things...it acts as a tremendous mental block to enjoy nature from close. Any suggestions and experiences to get rid of such phobia will be appreciated. Animals and their sounds can be explained, but invisible beings...
Of course they are the product of our imagination, but the nature of the phobia is such that it doesn't want to believe in logic.
I'm not sure really I guess like with everything it's just practice. What about going with other people?
Xin chào adam đi du lịch bụi, nên mang theo con chó 🐶 loại to mới bảo vệ được,dang này mình đưa đi con nhỏ quá nó còn trẻ em
Hi there hope you enjoy your trip dogs are great for protection!
Hey buddy Ben here from Uk wild camper ⛺️😀 I’d love to get on a collab camp with you 👍🏻 I’ve just hit that subscribe button
Hi mate thanks for the sub I'll keep you in mind for that where abouts are you from
@@MrWildWales I’m from Malton (north Yorkshire) ⛺️🥰
Have you tried raw dog food ,I give mine complete 80/10/10 ,80% meat 10 offal 10% bone it’s all a dog needs no shite and can buy quite cheap
Where do you get that from? She has raw stuff now and again but costs a bit
Why would you be a wee bit worried about any wild critters in England? You don't have anything dangerous like we do here bears, wolves, mountain lions, little things like that. Well it certainly doesn't sound like Bigfoot. You can always come visit America and do some real wild camping :-) sounds like a cow to me.
Hi there I'm not from England. So it turns out this was a red deer which are usually secretive animals but can be dangerous in rutting season. Cheers
@@MrWildWales where are you? What part of the world? P. S. I meant no disrespect. It's just that here, in the US people can get injured easily if not careful by wild critters, the kind that can eat them. Not as often as I in Africa or South America.
@@kokopelauwebb5731 No worries bud I'm from Wales. I know what you mean got to be brave to camp out with bears and mountain lions close by!
@@MrWildWales I grew up in the 1940's and 50's, Wales was still a part of the Island back then, tic. I have black bears, Cougars, Coyotes, but the conservation department swear there are no Wolves. They said the same thing about the Bears and Cougars till people started getting those pics on house security cameras. They are mostly not a problem if you take precautions and carry Bear Spray. Scary but the spray usually takes care of them, if it doesn't then no more worry's. Ever. That has happened to some.
@@kokopelauwebb5731 sure it's still a part of the UK. The 4 countries in it are Scotland, England, Wales and Northern Ireland 👍 sounds like you need to stay on your toes there
