  • In this video, I wild camp in the idyllic Chiltern Hills. We set off at about 2pm. It was very, very mild for November. I actually switched to just a t-shirt before it got very chilly at about 6pm (on the hill). Thick fog then shrouded our tents overnight... It just shows how quickly the UK weather can change and how you have to be prepared with the gear you take! Glad I had the Helm Compact 1 tent! I am joined by Ben from Daley Outdoors who was in his new Helm Compact 2.
    Thanks for watching - Ben :-)

    Enjoyed that! Some great drone footage pal. I'll be watching other Ben's video to see his perspective of this camp... I was also out that night filming and the sunset was stunning! 😍

    So we're be seeing you in the helm 2 soon LOL

    Hi. Loved the video. Can you recommend me a budget winter sleeping bag? You mentioned Mountain warehouse, let us know!

    • @benhikescamps
      @benhikescamps  ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Hi there. I have only used the Mountain Warehouse Everest down sleeping bag for several years now in winter. It’s relatively cheap but there are question marks over how ethical their down sourcing is. It’s currently on their website at £189.99. They seem to always have it on sale. There is also a review of this sleeping bag on my channel if you go into the Reviews playlist. Many thanks for watching. 👍

      @oldguy8078 ปีที่แล้ว

      @@benhikescamps yep. I believe that that's the amount you have to spend for a guaranteed winter bag. Many people waste money on cheaper options, than take the inevitable expensive plunge! 🙄

    What a lovely spot to camp. very peaceful and great views.
    I’m curious as I struggle with this one, how do you dry your tent out when you get home if you don’t have the luxury of a garage or garden?

    • @benhikescamps
      @benhikescamps  ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Hi Paul. I wipe it down then shake it out. In then hang it over a door or on my apartment balcony. Dries fairly quickly. Thanks for watching 👍
