- Jimmy invited me to his camp in Harwood forest. I was feeling a bit ill and not up for it but pleased I made the effort because it was a good night.
Link to Jimmy's channel, Lundy's Wildcamp/Bushcraft / @lundyswildcampbushcraft
Always loving your trips and you sharing with us. Thanks for doing that.
Thank you, I love your content too dude
@@Fell_Wanderer a month whens next humrous video with manscamp66 cheviot idiot
Great to see you out in Harwood again, fair play too for doing it with a cold, hope you feel better soon mate, cheers Dave
I actually had covid but didn't know it at the time. Got tested 2 days later because I was getting worse and it twigged when I was roasting a chicken and had no sense of smell or taste. Luckily I gave it to no one else and over it now.
@@Fell_Wanderer wowser! You take care mate, you make sure you get out there again, be rooting for yer!
Great to see you out again . Jimmy looks like a lot of fun . Oh , and great , "look back " inset ! Be safe out there folks ... Gubs
Jimmy is good company and I like watching him build stuff. Thanks for watching.
Another good one bro, Jimmy is getting himself well setup there. Safe travels up your way.
Jimmy is a good lad and I admire his love for bushcraft and building stuff in the woods
The laughing and banter is the best part
You can't beat a few beers and good crack in the woods
Cracking video Damien it was a great night out mate looking forward to meeting up again soon and hopefully Roney will be out to cook us a nice meal speak to you soon mate ps loved the flash back to the night out at your camp that was a funny night 😂😂😂 atvb jimmy 😎😎👍👍🤘🤘🤘
I didn't have enough footage from the previous camp for an upload in its own right but pleased to be able to include in this video as a memory. To be honest, it didn't feel right, a camp without Roney
I’ve had to cancel or change loads of recent camping plans due to covid / storm Arwen so great to see two blokes getting out and having fun in the sleet. Nice one 👍
I've yet to go out and see the extent of the storm damage. There will be trees down in every woods so plenty of fire wood and building material for next year. Thanks for watching Graham, ATB.
@@Fell_Wanderer if the devastation from the storm is anything like the woods near me it will be considerable. Heard some bad reports about Thrunton as well.
Good to see you Dame Jimmy
Nice to hear from you Davey, hope you and the family are doing ok.
Class vid; keeping toot like a ‘meerkat’ was what your were thinking haha :-)
I didn't know what Jimmy was thinking but I'd lost the plot and should have realised what he mean't
Great little setup.
Hope you’re feeling better soon!
It took a while but I'm totally well now, thanks for your comment.
On yae go m8, look forward to your vids on my days off. 😀 Aye your right does look like dug $#!+£ 😄 Hahaha
Another great video damien sense of humour is fab look forward to the next one xx
I will try and upload more frequently, thanks for watching.
Very good. Interesting video. ☺👍
Good to see the lerds out together.
Its always a pleasure camping with like minded individuals, thanks for watching.
Cracking, as usual
Love your channel Damien hope next year is a great one for you and your family👍 take care mate
Happy new year to you also Shaun and thanks for watching.
epic video mate thanks for taking us along
Glad you enjoyed and thanks for your comment.
loved the video and it was nice not to hear Jimmy saying "OK" and "ALRIGHT" every 3 seconds lol
Nicest guy in the woods
Because we were the only guys there lol.. thanks for watching.
Love your channel! It's up there with frogmoon wildcamps.
Steve is one of the best wild campers out there, he should have 1 million subscribers, thanks for your comment.
Saw you on Lundy wild camp . Found your channel. Now subscribed I’ve seen a couple of your videos so far and plan on watching them all. Very interesting and entertaining. Lots of good crack. Cheers mate. 👍👌
Thank you for your comments and for the sub
For some reason that shiny black bag reminds me of the gimp off pulp fiction
Lol.. the Gimps asleep, wake him up.
@@Fell_Wanderer 😂
Ive watched everyone of your vids Damien and the ones of you camping by yourself in the spooky forest scare even a seasoned wildcamper like myself. Ive done a few one nighters in Wark forest with my mate and i still get a bit spooked. Haha
It's human nature to get spooked, I still get like that sometimes. I tell myself, it's safer to be in the forest alone than being in some dodgey area surrounded by people.
Nice camp setup. Look after yourself mate.
Great to see and hear you back out
meerkats 😁🌲⛺👍
I should have realised at the time what Jimmy meant, he was acting like one and looked like one so should have twigged lol..
Just doing a buddy check. How are you doing? Haven’t seen or heard from you in awhile and was just wondering 💭. Love your channel and its content. Cheers 🍻, take care and stay frosty ☃️ 🌲🇨🇦🏕🇬🇧🌲☃️. We’re definitely staying frosty ☃️ here on the East coast of Canada. Three blizzards in as many weeks, 110cm combined. Mixed in with -20’c to -30’c temperatures. Sidewalks and paths are more of trench works than through-fares.
Thanks, I'm doing ok. Been out doing photography but not camping. I sometimes complain about the cold here in the UK but it never gets much below freezing. Canada is a beautiful place but is too cold for me. Stay safe and warm. ☃️
Lovely video@channel,have a lovely 2022@stay safe @new fan debs x
Hi Debs, same to you for 2022, thank you for taking the time to comment and for watching.
Hold your hands further away from the saw blade whilst cutting....if it jumped out could be a nasty forest situation 🤗...top videos pal I really like the forest ones very atmospheric....they come out at night mostly....😉👍🏻
Yes, you're right about blade safety. Thanks for your comments, ATB.
That was a good forest camp. Nice and tidy. Really enjoyed watching. Atb Steve 👍
Glad you enjoyed it. Harwood is a bit unsafe right now with trees coming down but hopefully I will be out soon to see the damage and fly the drone.
Totally agree. Dodgy time to be in the woods. 🤔👍
Great video Damian. Good to see you back in Harwood again with Jimmy. Looked like you lads really enjoyed yourselves even though it was a tad chilly. Solo one next time Damian in the search for anything paranormal.
I still do solo camps at Harwood but prefer company this time of year as its boring being alone when its cold and dark for so long.
Always great to see one of your choice ds pop up Damion👍
I will try and upload more frequently in the future. Got a new stove so will do a hot tent soon when the wind dies down.
We did have a laugh Damien it what its all about a good laugh aswell as wild camping, until next time ,stay safe and dont eat any of jimmys cooking ha ha
I was pleased to be able to include footage from the earlier camp. I didn't have enough for a full video but what we had was priceless. Hope your doing ok, I'm over forest fever now, but it was tough. I couldn't even smell what Jimmy was cooking or my own food come to think of it and I lacked any appetite to eat. I was getting worse with time but thought it was just the drink when the next day I had no energy, just running on reserve power and felt totally drained.
@@Fell_Wanderer ive just recovered from jarnoo poisoning awell ha ha
@@stephenroney452 The Xanue would protect rather than hurt anyone.
@@Fell_Wanderer it might be that i pinched their potato salad crunch 😋
Good video pal good to see you out again and with Jimmy he’s a good lad. Atb Wullie ✊🏻🏴
He has some decent craic and is good company. Its not the same without Roney though, ATB and thanks for watching.
@@Fell_Wanderer not at all mate watch a lot of your stuff and jimmys a pal. Atb wullie 🏴✊🏻
Good vlog Jimmy- Meerkats were the animals you were thinking about.
Everyone gets it but me and Jimmy lol..
Cracking damien, the easthills hammock for me is unbelievably comfortable 👌 cheers 🍻 stay safe marra 🏕
I've only heard good things about Easthills hammocks. I should have took them up on the offer of one but I don't want people thinking the channel is all about getting free stuff, especially when I'm not that into hammock camping.
@@Fell_Wanderer fuk what people think if its free take it marra 😃🤌🏕
good one😀
Just what I needed on Saturday night!! 😀
Thanks for watching, ATB.
Just subscribed to your channel mate Nice video
Thanks for the sub, ATB.
Excellent craic.... with good friends. Thanks so much for taking the time to film and share. Maggie and Mack, Huddersfield
I only took the Osmo Action because I couldn't be bothered to do serious filming but what I captured under crappy low light turned out ok. I cut corners but still turned out ok but wont do that again because the filming quality was rubbish
@@Fell_Wanderer Was excellent. Wish I could achieve your results... All the very best.
The most important thing is audio and good lighting, because those little action cams have such a small sensor, you need good light, especially in a dark forest.
Always good fun! Now I want to build me a bush camp too
Its very enjoyable building shelters, something unique you have created yourself. And the best thing is, it doesnt cost much and you learn something new along the way.
Mighty fine trip lads !
Thanks for taking the time to comment, ATB
Essential viewing when your vids come on 👍
I only took the Osmo Action camera and found the low light challenging for filming. I nearly didn't film at all but pleased I did because it was a good night
Nice one Damien, you are a braver man than me roughing the cold with a cold, and I did like the simplicity, as I do, bag a bivi rolled up ready for use. Perfect. Atb. Harry
A bivy camp this time of year is great because there are no bugs but 15 hours of darkness confined to your shelter does require comfort and a hammock is the best solution.
Meerkat is what he was thinking of surely.
Yes, I should have realised what Jimmy meant. Thanks for watching.
Nice invite )) you guy's are hardcore great videos
No one can call me the warm weather wanderer after this
Hope both of your camps have survived the storm
I've just been to harwood tonight had to pack up as trees were falling all around us it's like a disaster area my camp is now unsafe to use atvb Jimmy 😎😎👍👍
@@LundysWildcampBushcraft sorry to hear that. Thrunton is in a right mess (I mountain bike there a lot). I was up Ingram way today and lots of the small plantations/woods are wrecked :(
@@darrenrussell8980 lots of snow up there tonight that didn't help I've not been to thrunton yet
I think all the woods around Northumberland will have trees down. On a positive note, there will be loads of material for shelter building, happy days.
@@Fell_Wanderer next year's shelter's here we come 🤣🤣 happy day's
Cracking video lads really enjoyed watching but I could feel the cold when it started to rain Lol ☺👍
We wouldn't have coped without a warm fire, it lifts morale, especially when its cold and dark for so long this time of year, thanks for watching.
Grown men making a den and camping, how childish,
i do it all the time and im in my 50s lol.
Love it......!
Nice little camp , this must have been last week as jimmy did his bed then. Only thing missing was the chef,
The forests are all shut at the moment ! Even so I must nip up this week to check the damage out, I really hope we have not lost a lot of trees, simonside I can see from above on the hill but Harwood I will see if I can get in.
Keep em coming
I was thinking of flying the drone when the weather improves to see the extent of the wind damage. I don't think its safe to camp there right now.
good thing ya were not out in that storm
There are a lot of trees come down and are unstable. I won't be going back until the weather improves
@@Fell_Wanderer got another storm coming mate take care
Its here now and quite windy. I don't know whether I prefer mild weather but wet and windy or dry but freezing cold. I just hate winter and can't wait for spring to arrive, ATB
You know it makes sense
I invested in a DD superlight jungle hammock. Small change for some folks, I know, but it’s the best bit of kit I ever bought. Deployed on the ground, or up a height in no time - obviously, you have to try it in fair weather, not foul. until it’s second nature - and the comfort level is... all you could possibly want, or need.
As a fell walker and budget/wild camper for 40+ years, I know the expense makes sense. I’m too old to ’hope for the best’, but still young enough to get out there and be comfortable, without breaking my back with the weight or the price.
If you are young, buy a second-hand army bivi bag and just go for it! ... April to October - other months may not apply - you know it makes sense.
Everything you said made total sense and you sound like a very instinctual wild camper
@@Fell_Wanderer If I'd waited until I could afford the 'Gucci' gear, I'd have been nowhere and done nothing.
Time waits for no man.
Some of my best camps have been with cheap gear, its all about getting out there and enjoying the moment.
fnaar fnaar whoop whoop
Thought there would be some wood knocks or woops damian. You still work at Peter barrets
I don't think whoops and knocks work so I just deploy a field recorder. Haven't been at Peter Barratt's now for a few years.
Can't beat it m8, nice to enjoy the moment 👌👍🙏
Can't wait to get back out and see the extent of wind damage, its just not safe at the moment.
Love ya both😘
Thank you for watching, ATB.
Pleasure to watch buddy !
Apart from Lundy keep saying in any wate😂😂😂🍺
watch for those guys from deliverance
Every woodland camp is like a scene from Deliverance lol
These Boys are the real deal. When the World goes to Shte soon (i hope not) we'll be watching them many times.
Hopefully it will always be practice and not for real because when the SHTF, it will be nuclear war and noone can escape from that.
Nice one Lads.
Thanks for the comment, ATB 👍
top man
Thanks for your comment and for watching.
Nice camp
Thanks for your comment and for watching.
2 legends, great video troops!
Thanks for the comment and for watching.
Its rewarding and enjoyable building stuff. I'm all for simplicity but its nice sitting back and enjoying the fruits of ones labour.
Don't the bugs bite you when you lie on the ground. I know this time of year there not many. But during the spring to autumn they must bite
Up till a couple of years ago, bugs and especilaly ticks never bothered me. I don't know whether its mild winters not killing them off or just bad luck but ticks have bitten me a few times now. Its got me wanting to hammock camp more in summer to be off the ground. Midgies don't seem to get in the army bivy when I close up the hole but I now prefer the Stratosphere for all bivy camps, unless its winter when I like the army bag because there arent many bugs.
Need some subtitles in southern like... 😆
Meerkats there called Meerkats.
I should have realized what Jimmy meant, it seems everyone else on TH-cam knew except me lol
🤗🤗🤗
Meerkats Jimmy ...
Everyone got what Jimmy meant but me, I must be dense, thanks for watching.
right at the end "which way do i gan".......yeh gan canny brother........by the way you're a star
Thanks for your comment it means a lot.
Well done on getting out when yer loaded with cowlled...
I actually got covid but didn't know until 2 days later. I'm over it now but was tough not being able to go out for 10 days.
Cheviot Yeti? You two were a great team, get him back on board ffs
We are planning on getting out soon, I don't think he's into camping as much as me but I do know he hasn't been able to get out as much due to works commitments.
@@Fell_Wanderer no worries, thanks for the reply
Nice vid as always dam`o ..
Glad you enjoyed it and thanks for watching.
Hiya fella how you doing?. Not seen your vids for a while. Atb
I'm doing ok, been getting out but not camping, just photography.
Nice video. TFS
Thank you for watching.
Nice work :)
Cheers and thanks for watching.
what about 3 NVA ponchos to make a larvuu
What make is that bivvy bag Damien? Looks canny am after a new one
Its the British army bivy, can be bought from army surplus stores. I got mine from Ebay
@@Fell_Wandererthanks for that cheers Damien 👍
I'm all for keeping things simple myself.
Now then, was it damp in the bivi? and if yes do you think you might of overdone the insulation. being to warm is as bad as being to cold apparently.
I've the same set up as you, and I wondering if I shouldn't have a canvas cover made to throw over the bivi in an attempt to reduce condensation.
lol, so now I have a bivi to protect the sleeping bag, and a canvas tarp to protect the bivi and a flying tarp to keep off the rain.
the thing is, for an extra kilo, would it help keep things dry?.
It was warm and dry in the bivy. Condensation, moisture and dampness will be there in small amounts, its the nature of bivy camping. If I repeat camping over a number of nights, my bag will start to feel damp with reduced insulation over time.
Being warm is not the same as being cold, makes no sense in what you say?. total contradiction. If you are warm be happy, if you are cold , worry about hyperthermia.
@@Fell_Wanderer
my point, or should that be, experts on the subject suggest you should avoid sweating in a bivi,or sleeping bag as it increases the moisture in your set up.
What with you mentioning damp gear in the morning I was curious if that included your sleep system?.
by the way, been watching your vids for years, if I might make a cheeky suggestion?.
have you thought about the rab siltarp three?12*10..
I have both the one and three. I recon if you got the sil three, you'd be mightily impressed, like a palace under there.
two poles/branches and you have an impromptu cheap trail-star tent.
I think the Siltarp 3 would be nice but I have the DD Superlight 3m x 3m which packs down really small. When I'm in the bivy, I try to sleep with my head outside the bag to cut down on condensation. It won't go away completely especially when its 100 percent humid outside. Thats why I prefer to use a bivy in conjuntion with a tarp as an extra layer against the elements, then I dont have to be breathing in the bag creating condensation..
How is your Boar holding up?
It's holding an edge well and I think its a great knife, but rarely use it because its overkill for the bushcraft I do. Got given a smaller blade from a friend which sits on my belt better and hardly know its there so prefer using that.
Hi bud
its the Blair witch in the woods 😱
This time of year when its dark for 16 hours, cold and spooky, it feels like the Blair Witch project
@@Fell_Wanderer keep camping my son 👍
9:02 Fly By lol
I seen it while editing, looked like a Spruce cone on a spiders web blowing in the wind.
you forgot your power pack
I usually take it but felt so weak and unwell, I tried to carry as little as possible.
watch out for the boogeyman
Where's Fluffy???
Flossy is deflated because I've ignored her for a while
no i like a tepee camp wheres chevy
you didnt sleep
I slept well because at the time full of vodka. I also had covid dude and didn't know at the time. Felt rough the next day and very dehydrated. Thought I was still hung over for 2 days afterwards then got tested for the virus. Was gutted and worried my family would get it but luckily I was the only one and I pulled through ok fully unvaxxed by the way. Natural immunity won the day.
@@Fell_Wanderer ahh you made it through to make more vids im vaxxed but i want to go shopping and dont want trouble so i take the poison jab
the wife finaly let you out for a bit of wild camping
She usually doesn't mind me going out, I've felt poorly lately but knew people were missing my uploads so made the effort
farting food
your not interested in videos no more
I am still interested in making videos dude, was off sick with covid and been doing a bit of wildlife photography not camping. I'm still out there, just not filming unless I feel inspired.
@@Fell_Wanderer make more vids with cheviot yeti
