- Decided it was a good idea to camp in a yellow warning for rain 🤷🏻♀️ loved it though! Although it was too humid to get the fire going, I still had an awesome time eating some delicious food and listening to the rain all night - I hope you will too! ☔
🎧 Get your headphones on, and join me on this local adventure with rain ASMR and no music. Let me know what you thought in the comments.

Courage, honesty, beautiful environment and a positive attitude all make your videos pleasant. Glad you managed in spite of the fire problems, though I saw some good suggestions in the comments about how to solve that. All the best for things to come.
Hello I’ve just come across you on UA-cam and love your videos. I plan on travelling the uk on a motorbike and camping in different locations. Your videos are extremely inspiring 😁
cheers, enjoy your travels! :)
One your tinder bundle ignites you need to be much quicker adding very small kindling then quickly add some slightly larger twigs. You basically chucked a small log in your bundle when it had about 3 seconds burn time left. Feather sticks would be a nice thing to learn as you could make them in the woods. Several UA-camrs use cotton pads covered in Vaseline. Not only are these easy to light, they burn for a long time and 3 of them will even get damp wood burning. They are a great backup if you don't want them to be your main method. Liked the setup with the tarp, ideal for the conditions.
Also, the angry face in the stove is amazing.
Really cool seeing how you use the tarp to have that second layer and direct the rain. This might be the last really rainy hike for a loooong while 🤞
Cheers! I feel like my Tarp setups are still pretty basic but was happy with the amount of space I managed to get under it 😊 if it works, it works innit!
This is the best wild camping video UA-cam has shown me this last week, and it has shown me a lot. The algorithym thinks that's all I want to fucking see right now, just because I wanted to upgrade my 30 year old Trangia and happened to look up a few videos on that!
Anyway (vent over), this is the best video not because you were trying to teach me something but precisely becasue you weren't. I wanted to upgrade my cookset because I haven't camped in years and years, and I'm getting a hankering for it again. I've camped a lot over the years and for extended periods when travelling, so I have the knowledge and the kit, but if I went into the woods tonight in the rain and tried to set up camp it'd be a bit messy. I know I'd second guess the size of my tent or my tarp, I'd be asking myself "What am I doing? why am I here?. It is miserable setting up in the rain.
Your face said that when you sat down and decided not to bother with a fire and just open a can instead. I was putting myself in your soggy shoes and thinking, if there's anything worse than setting up camp in the rain it's sitting in one drinking a cold can when it's cold, dark and wet outside.
The different story your face told after you had made a fire and generated heat and light for yourself is what makes this video stand out for me. You're the first creator who has shown that honesty. Most I've seen daren't show anything less that complete competence. They would want us to believe that the only lessons to be learned from their mistakes are the ingenious ways they overcome them.
The reality is that setting up camp normally comes at the end of a tiring day. Mistakes are made, components go missing, things break, the elements change. We've all had it all happen to us. And we go into auto mode and go through the motions as best we can and ultimately a point comes when you realise you're comfortable. It's before you cook, it's before you even brew a drink. It's the point when you realise you'll be fine from then on. You're set up.
That's the moment this video reminded me of. It's a very self-satisfying moment and I'd forgotten it, frankly. I think it's the point in your day when all the aches, pains and misfortunes start disolving into anecdotes. It's what this video gave me that no amount of knot vs toggle advice or gas vs spirit burner video can give me. Thanks for that! ;¬)
This! Being honest about the fire not working is important to me... Sometimes for the purposes of editing you focus solely on what went well but when things go wrong is where the real learning and evolving happens. We don't show our vulnerabilities enough as a society, I think.
So thank you for letting me know it resonated with you! 😊
Morning mi friend. If you use cotton pads with wax or something like that, you should be able to get a fire going 😂😂. Great to see you out. Keep positive an always have fun doing what you love to do. 👍👌🔥
Cotton balls with petroleum jelly.
Put them in a ziplock bag.
Job done.
Good job! Shame about the fire but those were challenging conditions.
I tend to keep a little fatwood in my bag to increase the chances of starting a fire. Fine shavings ignited with the ferro rod. Works well for me - even in damp conditions.
Enjoyed the video. Thanks for sharing! 🙌
Myself also got a gas stove for rainy conditions as its always raining here in Wales but I also will make a proper camp fire in the dryer conditions as thats part of the fun of camping
Nice, yeah the last time I used a stick stove years ago was in the middle of summer. Much easier to get it going in that season 😁 cheers for watching!
I've lived in a tent now for 2yrs in Wharncliffe woods Sheffield your awesome
The mushrooms at 29:42 are most likely Turkey tail (Trametes versicolor) highly medicinal.
I carry a fire log as a backup in case I can't get a fire going. Cut it in half and put it in your twig stove. Good for a couple of hours.
Nice need to practice your fire skills try at home outside…Have fun stay safe.
May I recommend an original song written about the mountain wilderness?
DON'T GO UP TO THE MOUNTAIN TOP WITHOUT ME (C)2006
From james monahan original songs.
Please do be careful, take a friend or a couple of dogs if possible, it just gives me the shivers to see a lady alone in woods at night, be safe 🙏
Although I appreciate the concern, I reckon the weather was enough of a deterrent for anyone to be wandering about late, and being alone is part of the experience! Sadly, I don't have any dogs readily available to come with me on adventures 😅 stay safe out there too!
hey sister, ive recently bought a wood stove like yours. It is very sturdy and compact. only issue i had was like yourself, gettting the thing going. as a result i bought some softwood and hardwood online and a small axe. I cut down thw wood to size. using the hardwood as a base, bark in the middle to get it going, and softwood at the top, occasionally topping up the wood every few minutes or so. i dont have a spark device, so trustly old lighter does the trick with peat firelighters (1 segment works all the time for me).
I want to join your team 😊
So much "mansplaning" in the comments. I doubt many have the balls to camp out alone...
