    Jason. I think those sheep were telling you 'its too wet to be out here'🐑 Some beautiful golden evening light on the hills☀ and cool to see the showers moving across in the distance. Lovely capture of the fox🦊 and well done on not slipping into the lough😊 Not often you get still and clear evenings like that, definitely to be savoured👍 A stunning morning alright☀👍 Glad you eventually got you tea☕

    • @RamblingOn
      @RamblingOn  ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Those evenings are few and far between so it was great to have the time to slow down and enjoy it. The next time, I'll have the tea situation worked out so there won't be any hassle there. I can't wait to get back out, have a good one 👍

    Enjoyed this post, it had a great vibe. The helm one compact is a lovely tent. Like you say, it's not perfect; and there are a few little changes I would love to see; to make it even better.
    For the money, you can't beat it. I paid £135 for mine; and it's one tough tent. I'm gonna put the cat amongst the pigeons here; by saying with a good pitch and proper site selection; it's as good as one of those Hilli-watsa-names; anyday of the week! 😉
    Your photography was beautiful, as ever. And I still don't think that you need to include a drone in your posts.
    You have the perfect mix of personal banter with the camera, documenting the trip, a bit of wildlife/nature, and some comedy..Nearly falling into the water..Spilling your water that took forever to boil.. and.."it's a f***** fox!" 🤣
    There's some essential and required gear porn, and last but not least; aesthetically pleasing landscapes/weather. You make it look effortless Jason; and I personally wouldn't be in a rush to change, or add anything! But that's just my humble opinion.
    Anyway, this was a cracking little post; one of your best yet. Well done. As always (never satisfied) looking forward to the next one!
    Take care Jason!😊

      I was very impressed with it, I reckon some better organisation on my part might make it more enjoyable to spend some time in but like I said, there's a few bits I would like to change. Don't worry, someday I will have a drone but I won't use it the same way that everyone else does. I have some ideas on how to be creative with it. Whenever I do get one I would love to hear your thoughts, I reckon it's going to be class and it will definitely surprise you. At least I hope it will.
      I had a good laugh looking back at the clips while I was editing, especially the bit when we saw the fox. That was just pure luck that I had the camera rolling. I'm heading out this week, new tent and some terrible weather. It should be good, cheers Tim 🍀 Take her handy

    Galtees, I'm planning to camp there for long time now, one of the things that holding me back is that i don't have good tent, I think to buy nemo hornet or dragonfly, but this requires some money saving 😊. For now I'll just seat and enjoy your adventures.

    • @RamblingOn
      @RamblingOn  ปีที่แล้ว

      I've never used a Nemo tent but I'd say it will be class that first night you head to the Galtees. It's just good to be out somewhere new. Cheers for watching 🍀

    Nice camp dude & also higood that U got some nice weather for a change...!😄 I believe that the "sweet-spot" for a pot to sit above a spirit stove is 1inch, not too low, but not too fierce, although i generally always use the flame restricter cap as i call it, once its got bubbling, just to keep food on a gentle simmer, if I want to heat something slowly...👍 I went back to gas during the past few months, but will probably be using mine more again .during the coming cold seasons...🥶🤣 Best wishes & look forward to watching Ur next adventure...!👊

    • @RamblingOn
      @RamblingOn  ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Cheers Kev, I've since order a pot stand for it. I love the alcohol stove but that little stand affected the flame just by putting it in place. Hopefully with the new stand I can use the Trangia more often. I did the same as you, I've been using gas a lot lately, looking forward to those frosty nights 🥶

    • @RamblingOn
      @RamblingOn  ปีที่แล้ว +1

      No worries thanks to you for joining me. All I had was the little pot stand that sat on top of the stove. If I had noticed sooner I would have set up a few tent pegs to the support the pot instead. I'm waiting on a new stand to arrive so we'll see how that goes

      Cheers Wayne, I'd go for the Xmid to be honest. It has more interior space, the vestibules are huge in comparison, it's lighter and if it could be sourced in Europe the price wouldn't be too much more than the Helm. It's just a pity that we get stung with customs and import tax
