- On this camp I headed for the mountains in the Brecon Beacons to test out the Berghaus Cheviot 2. The weather forecast predicted heavy rain and a little wind, but with it being the Brecon Beacons I was treated to some unexpected snow and strong winds.
Thanks for tuning in,
Ryan

Excellent, Ryan! Your videos are very well edited. Toby is so precious. What a great companion. My dog Jack would love yomping the Beacons. Keep up the great work you two! ATB
Hello Jack, thanks once again for the positive comments. I'm glad you're enjoying the videos.
Nice one. Glad to see the military didn’t kill your love of the outdoors! Ex 3 Para here, spent loads of time tabbing across the beacons.
Thanks, Darren. I guess it's much more enjoyable later on in life going at your own pace. Thanks for watching!
You're doin' really well mate, Toby's a great feller, well done, excellent work, cheers.
Thanks very much, Dean, much appreciated. ATB, Ryan.
Far out, that was an exciting camp! Mother Nature flexing her muscles, really awe inspiring...
Thanks so much for sharing a bit of your story, so cool to hear how you found your love of the outdoors.
Loved Toby's face when the weather started, and he was all snug in his sleeping bag after his feast of sausages. Your camp cooking looked so good! No need to slum it, eh?
So important you show us that preparedness is key in surviving anticipated or surprise conditions. We're in Autumn now in NZ, and some days it's short sleeves weather in the morning, full on woolly jumper after lunch....
Thanks for taking us along, looking forward to your next adventure!
Hi Amanda, it was a great camp, the extreme weather made it a good one. Thanks for the idea of explaining my love of camping. Thanks for watching, ATB, Ryan.
Great video again! Always makes me smile seeing Toby snuggled up in his bag (one of my labs is called Toby as well😅). Good luck for the Beacons Way when u do it too!
Thanks very much, Chris. I'm glad you enjoyed!
I love it. Awesome video. Great story you shared with us. My son lived in Wales many years and we did some smaller hikes there. Once he brought me a bottle of Bushmills...
Carry on, mate, cherrs Michael
Thanks Michael, glad you enjoyed the video. After this camp I was informed that Bushmills is the oldest whisky distillery in the world, I didn't know that. Take it easy, mate. Ryan.
Loving your videos.
Thanks Byron, glad you're enjoying the channel. ATB, Ryan.
Toby’s bark 😂. That was proper mate, always enjoyed quality single scotch whiskey, never tried good Irish, have to try it after what you said about it. When I can’t get out, your vids keep me going. It’s good to hear a bit about who you are too, respect. Thanks for sharing. Serk
Thanks, mate, glad you're enjoying the content. A great Irish whiskey to try is Redbreast 12, it won best whisky in the world, 2019 and is quite affordable. ATB, Ryan.
Thanks Ryan. Will give it a go
Toby has the best facial expressions. Hello from Atlanta, Georgia, USA. Love the channel
Yes, he's quite a character. Thank you and welcome to the channel. Greetings from Wales 🏴
I take my hat off to you mate another good vid ,, Toby makes me smile !, he always has the best spot …his eyes say it all..star of the show for me .take care 👍
Thank you, Alan!
Love it Ryan
Thanks for watching, John 😂
Hi .. I so love watching you 2 !! Fab vid love the pics you put in and little story about yaself what a handsome fella won't say you was because your still hot !!! .. ps wow the weather changed so quick defo need 2 b prepared... Keep on camping mate 👍💙❄️🌧️🌞🐕
Thanks so much, Carla. Yes, it was a cold one on this camp. I'm glad you're enjoying the channel 🙂
Maerdy had snow. Then Hirwain and onto Llanelli but Carmarthen didn't have hardly anything. Met office said no snow except Newport, Cardiff etc. It's mad they can say that when we're higher up. Great vid again. Loving your Chanel. No bullshit. No showing off just plain and simple. Great to watch and glad your getting out and about. For a nice camp on a campsite try Cosmo over garnant. Great hosts and nice pitches and fire pits if you ever fancy that way of camping. Plus there is the lime quarry with kilns to walk around.
Thank you, mate, I appreciate the positive comments. We had some more snow here in Penderyn last night, it didn't stick around though. I will check that out, I could maybe do a hike and stay there. Thanks!
Another great camp with you and Toby.
Thanks, Ian, and thank you for watching!
Bushcraft, curry and alcohol. Now that I can relate to. lol. Great vid and hi from England.
Hi from Wales, mate. Thanks and thank you for watching. There'll be plenty more whisky and curries for you 👍🏼
Super camp, loving your videos 👍🫶
Looking forward to seeing more of your epic adventures 🏕️🙌
There'll be plenty more. Thanks for watching!
Greetings from Ohio, USA!!! Came upon your channel and been viewing your videos. Great content and hoping for longer content videos in your future adventures. Blessings from your new subscriber her in America.
Hello and welcome to the channel! I'm glad you're enjoying the content. Many thanks and greetings from Wales 🏴 ATB, Ryan.
Great video Ryan, just goes to show how quickly the weather can catch you out if you haven’t got the correct gear.
Thanks, Dave. I loved this one, the snow was a real treat
The wind blowing under your tent gave me the chills brrrr.
It sure was a cold one. Thanks for watching!
Love this! I’ve joined the Chanel, my fathers from Wrexham Denbighshire x n love Toby too x
Hi Mollie, glad you enjoyed the video. Welcome to the channel. ATB, Ryan.
Cracking little video Butt, can’t beat the Beacons for a nice bit of camping. Spent a lot of time up there on my own when I was training for the Army. After watching your video, has just inspired me to do a little trip up there soon 😁. I’ve just subscribed Butt 💪🏽💪🏽💪🏽
Thank you, mate, I appreciate the sub. Yes, it's a great place and definitely worth a visit. Also, much more enjoyable when you're not getting beasted. Diolch! ATB, Ryan.
I love the Beacons, but I haven't been there since my service days in the mid 1980's. Watching this, I think it might be time to go back.
It's definitely worth a visit. It's much more enjoyable when you're not getting beasted around there too. Thanks for watching!
A lovely spring day in Wales! Great video mate. I'm looking forward to the Brecon Way series. I presume Toby will be going too?
Thanks, buddy! Yes, he'll be by my side as always. He loves the hikes.
Great video and msg at the end re. packing accordingly when on a hill. Subscribed
Hi there, sorry for the late reply. Thank you and thanks for the sub. Welcome to the channel. ATB, Ryan.
@@wildaboutwales nothing to apologise about and hope the Beacons were okay 👍🏼
Great video, some weather :)
Thank you and thanks for watching.
Beautiful dog! 💙🐕
We love the outdoors too 🏴🌲🌲
He's a top boy! Thank you for watching 🙂
Enjoyed this having just found your channel and subscribed . Nicely done, and I can’t remember ever seeing a dog look so content 😀👍
Thank you, Lee! I'm glad you enjoyed and thanks for the sub. It's much appreciated. ATB, Ryan.
Hi mate, it's crazy isn't it how quick weather changes in the Brecon Beacons, it's like another world. Always got to be prepared. I can see you got some good experience. Fair play your going on many adventures and with the journey of youtube. Cracking channel and need to watch some of your older videos to get up to date. Really enjoyed this butty. Catch you soon
Hello, Dai, it certainly can change quickly. I just wish it would change to summer now, sick of this rain. Thanks, mate, and thanks for watching!
@@wildaboutwales let's hope for a dry summer, think we deserve it after all this rain we have had. This has got to be the wettest winter on record. Never seen rain like it
@@CampNWildWithTheDragon it's the wettest I can remember. Fingers crossed, mate ☀️ 🤞🏼
I love your clear, engaging, presenting style in this, Ryan. It's an easy watch, Toby too looks like a great camping dog, nice and calm. I think you may have seen Honey Dog on my videos.
The tent looks good, but it's a bit like the Simond Makalu I have. It's warm but a bit small for the weight.
Finally, I have been trying home food in silicone bags, works well if a bit heavy, food safe, and heat proof too! ATB Dave
Hello Dave, thanks for the positive comments, I really appreciate it. Yes, he's a great companion for the outdoors. The vacuum bags are great meals for one night camps, quick and simple. I've just subbed, I'll catch up on your channel on my days off. ATB, Ryan.
@@wildaboutwales Totall expect a comment on EVERY video Ryan! Fun fact, I was on blue Peter in the brecon beacons about 37 years ago, standing under a waterfall doing punches with Kyokushin Karate ( it was about December 28th!)
@@Fellmandave1 Believe it or not, I actually remember watching that. That's Sgwyd yr Eira waterfall, just a short walk from my house.
Fab video Ryan, thoroughly enjoy your channel and look forward to many more of your Welsh adventures 😊
Thanks very much, Trudy. Glad you're enjoying 🙂
Great tip on the vacuum bags, going to give that a try. Tent looks tiny from the outside, but really roomy on the inside, apart from the colour I'm impressed with it. It's a bit like my Snugpak Scorpion, tiny vestibule on mine though compared too yours. Great to see Toby enjoying himself with them sausages. That is one contented dog. Atb Mally
It's a 2 man tent, but you'd struggle to fit 2 in there tbh- it's just the right size for me & Toby. Thank you and thanks for watching!
Great video Ry....1st one i've watched..loved it so just subscribed...really interesting and informative...Toby is loving this as much you by the looks of it....Keep 'em coming....😁
Hello buddy, thanks for tuning in and welcome to the channel. Glad you enjoyed, Cer...Diolch!
Hi Ryan, was out with the boys last night, they told me about your channel so subbed up today. Great video, lovely location, know it very well. Look forward to the next one. 👍
Nice one, mate! Thanks for the sub, it's much appreciated. I've just returned the favour.
Fantastic video!
Thank you, and thanks for watching!
Another great video Ryan,crazy weather😮
Thank you, Rob, and thanks for watching!
Awesome mate
Thanks, buddy!
I really enjoyed your film, thank you for sharing. ATB Jiffy 👍🏻
Thanks, mate. I just saw you're a fellow Welsh camper. I'll check your vids out when I can. Diolch!
Quality! From North Wales 🏴🙌🏻
Subscribed 👍🏻
Thank you, mate! I just returned the favour. Welcome to the channel 👍🏼
@@wildaboutwales Cheers bud! Looking forward to future vids 👍🏻
Really good video, mate.
Thanks, mate. Glad you enjoyed!
Great video Ryan, looking to the next
Cheers, Paul. Thanks for watching.
Class ✋🏻
Thanks, Alun.
Brilliant video again mate. Looked a bit spicy when the snow came in.
Thinking of doing the Beacons Way too. Looking forward to it
Thanks, bud! Will it be your first hike?
Defo not my first hike 😂
Hiya Ry.
Wow that was crazy 😂
Good way to find out if the tents any good.
Really enjoyed it, hearing stories of your love of camping from a boy, 14 and sneaking out telling mam sleeping over a friends house and camping on your own up a mountain. "Sorry Mam"😂👏👏👍
Awesome.
Good old photos too.
Nice one getting your food ready night before.
Toby got stuck into those sausages pretty quickly.
Crazy wind, look so nice with the snow.
Really enjoyed it.
Big hike coming soon sounds good.
Keep them coming butty.👏👏👍
Thanks, buddy, I'm glad you enjoyed. It was definitely a good test of the tent, I really enjoyed it. Thanks for watching 👍🏼
Thanks for sharing some background of yourself and your love of camping and hiking. Your tent proved to be sturdy in the wind. That was some gale! Toby was a trooper putting up with all the racket the wind made. He’s a great dog! See you in the next one.
@@chrislonsberry1974 yes, it held up well and it was a pretty rough night. Thank you, Chris 👍🏼
Love your vids mate , mad how the weather changes the Brecon beacons got it's own weather ha , u eat better in your tent than I do at home 😂😂 I b looking forward you doing the beacons way, I was meant to do it last year but didn't happen due to circumstances, I do like a bushmills whiskey, I had the 10 year old sherry cask few months ago , bushmills is the oldest distillery in the world, looking forward to your next vid atb nick 👍👍
Thanks, mate. It's definitely got its own weather system going on, I had all sorts on that one. That's interesting about the distillery, I didn't know that. If you like a bit of Irish whisky, and you haven't done so, give Redbreast 12 a go - it won best whisky in the world, 2019. It's pretty good!
@@wildaboutwales ye redbreast is on my list actually, I'd also give a recommendation it's a whiskey from Israel milk and honey elements sherry cask it's called give it a try voted best whiskey in the world and a reasonable price £43 👍👍
@@nicholasromans5816 that sounds interesting, I'm definitely going to check that out 👍🏼
lol it was cosy! We didn’t expect to see snow either. The van was buffeted all night by the wind and the rain got heavier and heavier on the roof, then the hail came and then quiet!! Obviously that was the snow landing gently. We use that place to park up just cos it’s nice and quiet. If you see us again anywhere knock the door, we can get you warm with a cuppa and Toby can meet our 2 labs.
Penderyn is a bit posh for me I couldn’t afford to live up there. 😂 you don’t know a guy from Cwmdare called Colin Smith do you? He’s a mate of mine and is into camping? You may have crossed paths?
Yes, I'll definitely give you a knock if I see you out again, thanks! I know a Colin Smith, he's from Llwydcoed originally though? Could be a different one maybe. I used to drink up the Ton, so may do.
Wow, that was a bit of a turn around in a short time, mind anyone that knows the beacons will be aware how quick it changes. I think it was James of Joinmeodoors who camed around that area a little while ago. It's a art of the Beacons I haven't walked in a while, must put that eright this summer... Looking at Toby when you are filming I just wonder what goes through his head...he looks so animarted with his expressions at tmes..lol. Great watch as ever. atb Al
Hello, Alan, yes I saw that video - I've been planning to camp in that spot for a few years, watching that gave me a nudge to get up there. Thank you for watching, take it easy, Ryan.
Thanks for your service mate, from one veteran to another. 18 years RAF for me mate. Is your Toby a Lab/Collie cross? Mental weather change there! Good luck on the Brecon Beacons way! ATB
Thanks for yours too, mate, that's a good stretch. He's Border Collie cross Dalmatian. Thank you and thanks for watching. ATB, Ryan.
Awesome views mate
Thanks, Baz!
I miss Wales 😢
Great video but that wind blowing under your tent … brr
Thanks, Eileen. Yes, it was a cold one for sure.
Yes I think that’ll be him. He used to manage Llwydcoed footie team as well.
We’re almost down in St.Davids which is our weekend location. Well we’d be there if she hadn’t stopped to get bloody shampoo!!!😂😂
Where you and Toby off next? I’m subscribed to you now and fully notifified so I’ll be looking out for the next one. Have a great weekend and stay safe!!
That's him, haven't seen him in donkey's years. We'll be doing the Beacons Way within the next few weeks, maybe a camp or two before we set off - I'll be planning it all around the weather. Thanks for subbing and have a good weekend, mate.
incredible mate, absolutly loved it, was up there last year, weather was sunny then, only found your channel today and subbed straight away, just getting into the hiking properly myself, trying to film it for your tube but im not that comfortable on camera yet but hoping to pck it up, might start gaining subscribers once i can make a decent video lol
Thank you, mate! Glad you enjoyed. I just had a quick watch of a couple of your videos, I think you'll do good - everyone has an audience out there. I was quite uneasy on the camera starting off, but my confidence has grown with each video. I've just subbed to your channel - best of luck to you with it. ATB, Ryan.
@@wildaboutwales thanks Ryan.
Going to watch rest if your tomorrow
Take care
I'd love to do brecon hike, but not on my own
It is Easter, it always snows at Easter, in my long experience you are more likely to see snow at Easter than during Christmas, yng nghofentri mae hi'n bwrw cesair.
Very true. It's not often we see a white Christmas these days. Thank you for watching!
Hi Ryan, loved watching your video. By any chance were you parked at Blaen Llia car park next to the river on Tuesday night 26th March? I’m sure I saw you getting into an estate car. I was in the white motorhome there. Anyway nice video mate
Hi Neil, thank you and thanks for watching. Yes, that was me, mate, just getting down from the mountain on this camp. I remember seeing your camper there.
Hi Ryan, I’m originally from Cwmaman but escaped from there years ago. I was wondering where you live cos you mention your first sneaky camp on the mountains around Aberdare?
@@reggie23667 I was down the Top Club in Cwmaman watching bands just a few weeks ago. I'm Aberdare born and bred, living in Penderyn now. When I saw your camper, I was thinking 'I bet it's nice and cosy in there' sheltered from that weather.
cracking video mate
Cheers, mate, thanks for watching!
What part of Wales you from
@@chloechris1 I'm living in the Brecon Beacons
@@wildaboutwales about 20 miles from me
@@chloechris1 where you living, mate?
Another fantastic video thankyou so much from myself and my wife. Do you reduce your gear to fit in tobys 😊
Thank you and thanks to you both for watching. No, I take a larger pack on the one night winter camps so I can fit it all in. In the summer months, I can fit both his and mine in a smaller pack.
Where's Toby's steak...
No steak this week, I'll have to make it up to him on the next camp.
Nah..Brains SA..😊
I like the accent. Is that Welsh?
Thanks. Yes, I'm from the Brecon Beacons in South Wales.
What kind of dog is Toby ?
Hi Paul, he's Border Collie cross Dalmatian.
I've swam that reservoir..I Don't recommend it..😂😂😂😂
Yes, it's cold in there, even on the hottest of summers.
@@wildaboutwales coldest water I've ever been in..🤣
looking at that spot to take my wifes nephews could i get three tents to fit
Bloody great spot this one. I'm struggling to remember how good the ground was. I think you could, maybe not the perfect pitch, but you should get 3 there. Join me Outdoors did a camp there and he fitted 2 tents in.
@@wildaboutwales thanks Ryan I’ll give it a go
Cant watch you live stream says verify your age.
I'm not sure what's going on there as I've never done a livestream?
@@wildaboutwales wrong video.
@@whoarewe7515no worries 👍🏼
Please get your dog proper winter gear..
He has a fleece, a coat, an airbed and a sleeping bag - I always make sure he's warm and comfy..
@wildaboutwales I worry because I've seen a dog die because of it...
@@Jason-ke2nj sorry to hear that, mate, that's terrible. No, I always make sure he's as comfy and as warm as I am. Thanks for your concern 🙂
@@wildaboutwales sorry to comment
@@Jason-ke2nj no need to apologise, mate, you're only checking he's warm enough. That's a good thing 🙂
Cracking video Ryan. Ah that old chestnut I’m staying in my mates house mam 😂 we all used that excuse to go camping lol. Crazy how fast the weather can turn.Brecon is an amazing place absolutely stunning views but like you said you got to be prepared. ATB boys.
Thank you, Carl. Yes, it turned really quick, it was great fun though. I really enjoyed this one!
