    Mini Trivia: I ended up swimming in the pool twice as my camera battery died during the first swim 😅

    I had that tent for a bicycle tour. It was great, lightweight and did the job, but I really hated not being able to sit up, so I pasted it on. Getting dressed was particularly awkward. I've also read that book, FANTASTIC! Thanks to @maximusironthumper for mentioning your channel. I'm currently working through your tiny house build. Good luck.

    Hello K... Our world is one of a kind. Just being out with nature and the beauty of what is around us is a gift from God. The weather makes no difference but when it is warm we feel so much better. Try Mushroom omelette with wild garlic awesome. Bilberries has a lot of vitamins in and by what you have done with them makes a refreshing drink. Wild swimming I have done nothing like a refreshing dip in hot weather.

    Yo KT...another cool camping viddy! I ordered a book recently to identify mushrooms which is all in black and white so I'm quite jealous of you and your books. There are some cool mushrooms appearing recently and hard to be 100% on what they are. Amazing work on the voice over! Great way to make up for a turned off microphone. Cooler though if you could have used that guy's voice in the audio book you play a lot...Lord of the Rings? As for the ticks, you guys have way more than we do. Even in the "tickier" places they're nothing like yours. My favourite moment was seeing your "Stay Cosy" mug at what had to be a very chilly moment of post-swim...and the waterfall. Good on ya for getting in there...twice. It had to feel great after when you were warm and dry again! Peace!

    • @KeiteiVentures
      @KeiteiVentures  11 місяців тому

      Yo Mookie, it's great to have a mushroom 🍄 book, shame it's not in colour. We've had a lot of rain for August so have had more mushrooms than normal. It is so hard to confirm what the are.
      Ah, it would have been great to have a Lotr style voice over :D make it quite the epic trip.
      The ticks are pretty extreme at the moment, I'm constantly checking.
      I definitely appreciated that hot chocolate 🫕 after my dips 🏊‍♀️
      Luckily I was fast enough to avoid the tour group that appeared after I left 👍

      In Britain there are not many fungi that can kill you out-right. Some can serverly hospitalise you, a lot gives various forms gastrointestinal problems. I recommend learning a few edidble mushrooms which are easy to recognise, Puffballs, Parasoles, Bolete and then enjoy.

    Looks like a great place to camp and swim. But why do you call it "wild" camping/swimming. Might be an american vs eutopean thing. The Bivy tent is nice, but I prever something like the Nemo Dagger. I've got the 3P because it's easier with kids or a partner. Also, what sleep system are you using? I'm a fan of UGQ quilts with a nice cold rated pad.

      To hopefully cause offence to everyone 35 and under, its just become a pretentious sub-catagory to name camps mainy for the UA-cam generation. Camping is becoming ever more restrictive in the UK so camping is - paid designated campsite, wilding camping (camp anywhere which is technically illegal) - stealth camping (don't be seen camping).
      15-20yrs ago it was all just called camping.😄
