    I came to appreciate your videos for your openness and the natural way you speak your mind as if you were thinking out loud...these days everyone is trying to sell something and pitching sales while you just enjoy the moment. You deserve much more views and subs... all the best from Portugal mate!

    Great vid. Some folks can't camp without the latest and greatest. You get by with a bit of string and an Ali express stove. Cracking stuff. Dodgy on unzipping that tent though. Could have been people inside having nookie lol. I also love how you expanded the shelter with overhead tarp. Very clever. Chair too. I wouldn't have bothered going home haha. Come armageddon and everyone is running around helpless in their nighties you can bugger off to the woods and get by fine. I thought my camp set up was solid but that overhead tarp and chair idea is getting used as well now. It'll stop the birds shitting on me. It landed in my coffee last time.

    I lived for almost three years on a fifty year old diver's boat on a beach in the south of Ireland , i watch you an I get the enjoyment you get from peace an solitude and just being in nature, i felt the very same and everyday the tide came in an floated me, I was safe during two hurricanes . Iam astounded at some of the equipment you use , one of my biggest problems was keeping warm and sleeping comfortably your stuff is far superior to anything I ever found, I did have a pot belly stove on board for heating which i fed with branches and wood i found on the beach. Were i can claim to have bettered you i was able to feed myself from the Atlantic ocean simply by fishing an baiting lobster pots, sadly a triple stroke and cardiac arrest brought my adventures to a close , now i watch you and enjoy your trails , best of luck to you.

    Ive done alot of heavy rain camping in my life. I live in N.H. USA, up in the White Mountains and towards canada it can be a beautiful sunny day and calm night, but it turns fierce out of nowhere. Even if rain isnt "forecast" i ALWAYS run a large tarp over our tent and cooking area. It has its own weather system where im from that can turn on a dime. Personally, i love it. As long as your prepared, its a good time. Love the videos sir. You inspire me to get back out there.

    Just a thought for future. If you get four pegs. Put them in the chimney ( NSEW)diagonally then sit the pan in the middle. It will wedge the pegs and sit higher giving air flow.

    Tent and tarp is always a great idea. I never understood why folks don't carry a tarp along. It gives you some freedom to sit about during rain or snow or broiling sun. I've stopped watching many a channel because it ended up being a 20 minute video of a guy laying in a tent. Defeats the purpose of enjoying the outdoors if you're stuck inside for the majority of the adventure.

I also put the date that I purchased the pack. I do this just in case I die or fall on the track and knock myself out. In fact I write or engrave my name on all my gear, it's an aid to identification. Enjoyed the video ATB Cheers from the mountains of NZ ☺☺

I do love wild camping but booked on a site to make the challenge easier with less to carry because I have a lot of gear. Just bought my first Duck down sleeping bag from Naturehike in the Amazon sale. My new Onetigris Scaena got covered in sap because I used my first tarp like a ground sheet. Lesson learnt and will get a extra tarp lol

    Bacon sandwich is great cooked anywhere, but outside is the best. I love a latte. I would have peeked in the tent too. I might not have set up near a tent. When I camp, I hate to see another person.

    Nice little tent that. Looking for something like the for myself so will check out the shop. As for changing the colors of the red bits in the tent try some dye. That should do the trick.

    You need to bring a Brewmeister Snake Venom beer with you next time. Keeps you happy and warm in the rain
