Freedom at last! - Wild Camping Is Back

Freedom at last!! wild camping is back in the UK. Boris Johnson announced that further restrictions would be lifted from 12th April 2021. restrictions would be lifted on camp sites, beer Gardens, non essential shops, but more importantly the travel ban would be lifted. 2020 and early 2021 has been hard work for me mentally, so I wanted to capture my feeling of hearing the news that we would be ...

Jetboil Flash 2 - vs - Jobsworth X2 an in depth comparison
มุมมอง 13K3 ปีที่แล้ว
The Jetboil Flash 2 was one of the first pieces of kit that I bought for my wild camping kit, and I have loved it ever since. But now I've found a competitor for less that 1/3 of the price... the Jobsworth X2 from Planet X Bikes. In this episode I give an in depth comparison of both stoves to see if the Jobsworth X2 is only similar by looks.... or is it actually any good? Jobsworth X2 available...
Naturehike Cloudpeak 2 vs Kazoo Venus -2P
มุมมอง 18K3 ปีที่แล้ว
A comparison of the very popular Naturehike Cloudpeak 2 with its very cheap copycat... the Kazoo Venus -2P The Naturehike Cloudpeak 2 seems to be taking over the Wild Camping scene in the UK right now, and rightly so, its an incredible tent with a very affordable price tag. Enter the Kazoo Venus -2P, a tent that appears to be exactly the same (granted in a different colour) for less than half t...

Lockdown 2021 - How We're Keeping Ourselves SANE
มุมมอง 3763 ปีที่แล้ว
This is my way of keeping the family sane during lockdown 2021. I've noticed a lot of people are struggling right now, including us. On this day we decided to set the whole day aside to be spontaneous, be ridiculous, all in the aid of happiness. We love the outdoors, and to be honest, I was incredibly lucky to get out as much as I did in 2020 given the circumstances. 2021 is different though, t...

  • @Jaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay
    @Jaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay 2 หลายเดือนก่อน

    It would be easy to criticize certain decisions here (flying in rain / dropping into concrete hole where there can't be any control etc etc) but it's great to have examples of these things online as cautionary tales for the rest of us, and it certainly makes for exciting video :) It's really hard to fly up the inside of towers and down plugholes even if you can maintain signal, and fairly sure those concrete round structures do weird things with GPS reflection and ghosting, which makes them go drifty. I had exactly that behaviour flying up a ruined tower a few years ago and haven't done it since !

    I came across your video and I was looking at this reservoir on Google Maps and noticed that there's a 'no drones' sign. I thought I'd look for a video on TH-cam to see if anyone else has flown here, and here I am. According to Drone Assist, it is fine to fly drones around the lake. I know that landowners, companies, etc like to put up no drone signs just for the sake of it. I will be taking a trip up there when the weather improves. Awesome video by the way.

Any others I should look at? Thanks!

    I've been using the DD hammock set up for the past 4 years now, and can't fault it. A nice little addition is the DD Magic Carpet, which is a small tarp that you set up on the ground, underneath your hammock...great for laying the rest of your gear on, keeping clean getting in/out of hammock, and a dry area to do your cooking
