Hey Paul..scammer just replied to my comment..one of those telegram/prize doobies..watch out.
Thankyou for the channel Mention about me looking at the hydrated and dehydrated meals paul. Yep they are a lot of money for what they are.
You’ve got a lot of faith in a one legged table to be boiling water that close to your plums. Still it all turned out well just shows you shouldn’t let the weather stop you going out.
Pound the bottom tube in the ground until it's about halfway in first, then attach the top tube and table for ultimate stability. That way, you're not pounding on the flimsy table top. Great vid, as per usual, Sir!
I can vouch for the longevity of the little green tables, I’ve had a couple that we’ve used with the caravan, tents and motorbike for over 20 years👍
Bit of a Soba Noodle addict myself! Highly recommend the packet (not pot) versions. Noodles are better quality, chilli (90p) will warm you up, you get more, and ideal to add a few frozen peas and sweetcorn to your trip.
Exactly right, Ryan. Had my first pot of Soba chilli noodles a couple of days ago and they’re incomparable to the packet version.
Paul should on commission!😎👌
@ditch salt exactly that - their light weight. Only 250ml water needed and they’re also quick to prepare. Nutritional value isn’t brilliant but if you’re just doing a one night camp, they’re brilliant.
paul did you drain the water out of the scoba noodles?
@@mrjohnno noooo! The 250ml all gets absorbed. 👍🏼
Hey Paul, I just wanted to say because of your softly spoken style I find your videos really relaxing!
The 360 filming is totally amazing, I always like the way it looks as though it's nowhere near you. 👍
Wonderful! I love going walking in the rain, but yes one of the drags of very wet weather is finding temporary shelter from the constant deluge. My brother brought my attention to the joys of small tarps this summer when we put one up to shelter from the insane heat. I must get one to enjoy the intense British rain!
Oh yes, that is what I like to see, brilliant footage as well, very atmospheric
Fine egg noodles
Soya sauce
Dash of Tabasco
Finely chopped spring onion
Half chicken stock cube
Add boiling water, wait five to ten minutes and eat.
Your down to earth practical videos are great, love them and you obviously get good enjoyment making them👌
I love going out in the rain. In some way it is so calming. The tarp setup was nice.
30 years in film and television around the globe and this is some of the best photography I've come across.
I'm about a year late watching, but I'm looking at Tarps so this was a good video for me. Thanks.
Nice! My favorite quick tarp setup for a break from the rain is a plow point... 3 stakes in the ground and a pole or tree to hold up the fourth corner, excellent protection from rain and wind assuming it's facing the right direction.
Really satisfying video seeing you get under the tarp in the rain, always a fabulous feeling being dry and watching the rain. Great stuff!!
So I had the auto generated text on..so funny. Rain became everything from applauses to music. Found your channel today and seen 4 videos. You got some good stuff going on.
Aaaah, the little green table with a spike! I had one for years. First with our frame tent, then with the campervan for a further 8 years. It must be somewhere out in the garage now, but the sight of your one brought back many happy memories of lazy campsite cuppas!
Great film thanks (as always). Talking about the cost of dehydrated meals, I’m surprised no one ever considers taking canned food backpacking. Despite the extra weight, at the end of a long hiking day, what would you rather eat, a dehydrated meal out of a plastic pack, or a plateful of stewed beef casserole and some tinned potatoes and carrots at about a third the cost? I know which I’d prefer, and you have to carry extra water anyway if you want the dehydrated food with that weird taste out of the plastic pouch. For an overnighter, please give those canned foods a try!
😁👍🏻
The new cam makes a difference and even more enjoyable to watch. 💯😎💥
Nice little trip out . Yep some of those camping meals are extortionate. Noodles , Jerky/nuts and dried veg . Take care Paul. 🏕🌧
Second yer on that don't the rain spoil the fun, group of us went out riding our bikes today, very wet in the Lincolnshire Wolds, but great company and some banter makes for a memorable experience. Yes, the trusty Quest Stick, not used it much myself either, difficult to pack on a bike, I wish it was foldable as other than that it's really a good looking product. In the car, van life or hiking great - bikepacking a little awkward to carry - like tripods!
my idea of heaven , sat there listening to the rain and having a brew with no one else about , happy days , cracking video Paul
Another great share here, looks easy to put up.... the rain sounds with a little bite to eat 😄 thank you for sharing it 💯👌👍
I love the idea of this. So often I sit here making excuses; "it's raining, it's cold, there's 100% cloud cover". This video just reminded me that even getting out for some lunch and a coffee is worth it. I don't need a perfect 'full camp' every time.
Quick question: What's that stool? I checked your kit-list but didn't see it. - NEVERMIND, I spotted the logo on it. For anybody that's interested it's the Robens Geographic.
Thanks for the motivation and inspiration.
Nice vid Paul, can't beat Soba noodles I often and a bit of shredded/chopped cooked chicken lifts it to another level
Thought I recognised the location. We used to blast through there on mountain bikes when I lived in Sheffield. Would go more slowly now withmy camera. Beautiful part of the world Paul
Great video and excellent shout on the Soba noodles - being able to drain them with the lid makes them much nicer!
Testing ones gear is really underrated. Just 30 min on the lawn with a garden hose, you'll spot potential issues a mile away that can turn a hellish trip into a hell'uva good time.
A great one Paul. Showing that the rain can just be as nice as the sun. A good set of waterproofs and your staying dry aswell as getting to explore places with no one around👏.
Tis true for me that the meals and MREs offers priced themselves out of my range back when I was still up and running. Worked around that no problem the last few years by buying with my hunting buddy a food dehydrator and following suggestions from Y/T recipes. It worked and gave us an excuse to get together for a pint to do the mixing and spreading on the trays. Before all of that, we were younger and didn't mind carrying a little extra weight food wise. Hell, when we started C-Rations were all there was anyway.
Excellent video, love the tarp and we buy those noodles too.
My instant noodle love has prepared me for this day!
Soba noodles are probably the best in terms of convenience and taste.
Indo mi noodles (the base flavour version) are easily the best per £1 and taste great. I get mine for under 50p a pack, and they are my go to.
The best noodles are Laksa La Mian. They are the most expensive at about £3.50 per pack. But they contain much more and honestly taste amazing. More than worth the cost.
Try pushing the spike into the ground with your boot first ,then clip the table top in 😉👍
Good pitch! Ideal for English picnics ;-)
The 'Koka' brand noodles available at B&M are the best IMO. Particularly 'Spicy stir fry' flavour.
Great video Paul, the sound of the rain on that tarp is so soothing. In terms of instant noodles I don't know if you wanted ones in pots or stuff you can also throw in a pan. If its in a Pot, Shin Yun Ramyun is the best for me. Its in most if not all the big UK supermarkets. For ones not in a pot I really enjoy any of the Indomie noodles, again ive seen them in every supermarket. Beef Rendang is my favourite but the Mi Goreng is excellent too
Loving the 360 camera Paul
Love camping in the rain, not so keep on the drying out and clean up afterward, though. I have had a couple of those little green tables for about 3 years, simple but very useful as a table or a place mat. 👍
That Rab element tarp looks tiny.
Good enough for a shelter, but I'm not sure I'd want to sleep under it.
But that little table looks very handy.
Thanks for another great video 👍
great video Paul .. i agree about some of those dried camping packet foods .. the prices of some are ruddy extortionate .. long live pot noodles .. 😀
Dont ever stop the videos mate your inspiring people to do similar 👍
i`ve just bought that little go outdoors table as well Paul , it`s great for 8 quid! , i sprayed the metal legs green and brown and glued the non slip surface down a bit as the corners flapped in the wind and got on my nerves .
PERFECT place to put a cider and a book when i`m in my hammock in the woods
awesome lil patch a woods n river tho
Thanks for this video! I admit that rain stops me from going on some adventures, but I guess that's just question of having the proper gear and the envy to explore!😄
p.s. the 360 footage is fantastic - great addition to your filming capabilities 🤗
Hello there Paul. Really enjoy your output. A tarp is not for me unless as an emergency shelter !!! But those noodles are bloody delicious !!! Added a bit of dried chilli for a bit of a kick before the water, ( handsome ) as my dad would say. Drank the remaining juice at the end ( Defuckingliscious) as I would say !!! If you fancy a bit of mash during a camp try Idahoan instant mash !!! I know what you are thinking instant mash ??? But it’s actually very good !!! I prefer the cheese version and use a mini plastic whisk to mix in the water. Beats expensive dehydrated meals any day. Good luck and mind how you grow.
Love sitting under a tarp in the rain! Neat little table as well!
Love the DD tarps, really good quality and pretty bomb proof.
Smart comment on getting out in the rain Paul. After the summer we’ve had, I don’t think I’ll ever complain about the rain again… that is, until I do 😉🤭
Very cozy looking little setup out the rain and off the wet grass. I need that table.
Give 'Naked Noodle' a try if you're into the instant noodles; Thai Green Curry is my favourite, taken those on a couple of hikes. Great content as always, mate 👌
Love to see you enjoying mate!
Yeah, the camp meals are ridiculously expensive for what they are, the only real reason for the prices I can think of is that they are produced in (relatively) low volume by small companies selling to a niche market, so costs are going to be a lot higher than mass produced food aimed at the mass market.
Watching from the foot of Buachaille Etive Mor in Scotland. Mostly with gear you've recommended. 🙂
Nice. You going up??
@@AndyWardle I did aye. 2 munros 4 peaks. Wonderful day. Just sketchy in some areas. Makes me question hiking alone :D
As an industrial emergency worker my company issues some excellent air breathable all weather clothing, you can stand in a rain storm with it coming at you side ways and still stay dry.
But the trouble is that it is yellow with high vis strips all over it 😂
Normally the Nissin Soba noodles instructions say, you should strain the noodles before adding the sauce! 😄
Therefor the lid has these little holes! 😉
I've been using pot noodles on the odd occasion. I empty it out from the pot into a ziplock bag, save on space, and take 2 summit to seat collapsible cups, one for a brew, the other for the pot noodle ...top tip ;)
Charming and simple. Don't always need to lash the big bucks
The pot noodles, I use them too, they're quick and easy and do the job, but, I empty them into a small plastic bag first, thus space saving in the ruck sack, then, empty them into my cup, jetboil, what ever, just for the sake of space saving, a little tip that you may find useful.
Naked rice, katsu curry are my fave. 80p in Adsa, I usually take some cooked chicken with me to stir in and it’s really filling.
cozy af.
3D camera was very nice! well welcome the addition!
360° footage 👍
Good old UK weather we're yet to hit a rainy night before it gets to cold.. I love them noodles too 99p here lol banging
I felt that the table, although stable enough, was a bad height to boil water on. If it spills, you get scolded.
Love that area for a quiet mid week walk. :)
360 is awesome, you should do it more, it really nicly shows your enviroment you are in :) Cheers Paul
Early testing I’m finding in good light and no rain….it’s excellent. Much improved on the X2.
Great little setup Paul. Enjoy “soaking” in your camping knowledge. Watching from Halifax, NS 🇨🇦
Hi Paul….nice down to earth vid….just ordered one of those tables….well it looks about the same off amazon….been after something like that for ages as when I go hiking it always looks like a tramps party with my gear strewn all over the place. Might help me get a little mr organised…..cheers
I stand by the neoguri spicy seafood Udon. Keeps you warm with a kick and does wonderfully with some meat/veggies! 😁 love the videos!
Those Freeze meals are absolutely bonkers here in Canada as well. You could buy a lobster tail dinner for the price of a Salty mountain house scrambled eggs. To Pricey for me. I have always wanted to try getting a dehydrator and making my own though. They don't last as long as freeze dried but it could be a nice way to save weight and still eat good without breaking your back. That said you can't go wrong with noodle snacks. Keep up the good work Paul.
Always love when people ask for a noodle recommendation.. - Nissim damae ramen spicy, most tesco superstores. They do a few flavours but spicy is beyond good... right back to the video
Try the tesco wicked kitchen noodles, their food is stunning. I recommend the “late night noodles” or “spicy smoky dreamy mac” if youre after a quick rehydratable pot :)
Doing this in Scotland next week with my DD Superlight. Bring on the dreich! Thanks & ATB
Have a great time.
Bring a bigger tarp!!! ;-)
I've lived in places where the weather rarely changes. I now welcome all weather.
Always take a tarp bike camping, the difference it makes just having a living space outside the tent!
just been on a 3 day trip to scotland, first time doing proper wild camping with my friends. thankfully it was only last night that my tent began to allow water in and puddles collected on the edges of the floor. Cannot believe how scarce tarp is in the building and garden centres up there too, shoulda got more before the trip i guess. Defo need new tent and more tarp next time.
Soba Noodles are the Dogz Bollox Paul. I have them regularly for dinner (lunch for anyone outside Yorkshire) when working from home. Chuck in some lumps of chicken and they are great.
Wow you have so delicious breakfast .😋thanks for sharing your video dude love this. Sounds of rain🥰
Those noodles are amazing the beef one is my personal fav. Great videos as always 🎉
Just ordered one of those tables. 360 was great.
That config is fine for straight down rain. I was under a DD Super light S last night very low to the ground and it was blowing in 😩😃
if you like stuff with a bit of a kick try nong shim gourmet spicy, usually in the 'world foods' isles
I recently bought a very similar stool by a company called Uquip!? i think they are called! Took it camping recently, weighs nowt and super comfy. Great alternative to a chair
I enjoyed your video. Hi, from a hot 30 degr C. Cape Town, South Africa.
I think I need a tarp like that as I enjoy a walk in the rain but need my picnic too
Koka Noodles. Tom Yum Flavour. OMG, they're so nice
100% with you on the Soba noodles. Delicious!
The 360 content looks great, adds another dimension. What with the rain events in Sydney I'm gonna have to get wet soon myself 😁
Not sure if it was you, but someone said "there's no bad weather, just bad gear". That really changed my perspective.
It was Wainwright

Greetings from NorCal. That weather looks so inviting to a person from drought stricken California. I’ll look for that brand of noodles here. The shots from your new camera looked like it was from an alien space craft following you-loved it. Table seems stable enough although I was worried you would spill that hot stuff on your family jewels. Hang in there!
Well done Paul inspiration as always
Cheers Mr Messner, another great vid - loved the rain on tarp sound in the back ground. I've still to try a tarp - I much prefer my inner tent to keep the spiders out but it certainly looks better to get a view of the beautiful surroundings. Would love to see how you choose and set up the tarp.
Brilliant vlog Paul! Looked fun! Thank you!👏👏👏👏👏👏
👍👍👍 .. nice.
Agree, the prices of the Freeze Dried Camping Meals are 😳. I cannot bring myself to buy and use them .. my pocket concurs 😏.
Yes, they have their place in the scheme of things (would have loved to have something similar back in the 70's during patrols in the Southern African Bush .. but then, having to carry six + litres of water just to see one through the day, in addition to the other stuff, having to add water to a meal .. not so sure). Distance Ultra-lightweight Backpacking, plenty water to be found around and a healthy bank balance .. maybe. I also believe that 'what the market is prepared to tolerate' comes into the pricing of those fancy freeze-dried meals.
Noodles .. I buy those in the packets (less to have to take out again / discard) and just 'jazz them up' with other stuff.
A nice share .. I like the tarp .. thanks and take care ..
Good to see the Red Osprey in use. Paul I like it. Took the noodle firm long enough to upgrade from noodles with tiny soy chunks and a sprinkle of herbs. That there one you made had some new improved ingredients by the looks of it.
OK dude good battle against the elements. What else Mother Nature got? No Mommies boys here:) From Craig.
Like the new table. Handy
Def get the lens protectors :) had mine a couple of weeks and it’s a great camera
