Only the best way to start adventures, and steadily upgrade to needs as you learn plus budget
I think this is the earliest I've ever been.
This is just lovely, Paul. I love watching how nakedly _happy_ you always are, to be out in the wild.
This Australian stuck in another lockdown for the 2nd month running wouldn't survive without your content to vicariously free her, so thank you. ❤
Stay strong I've never seen anything like it what you have to contend with down there
@@triggercky9928 thank you, I'm fortunate to be in Canberra, instead of Melbourne. We've been one of the luckier spots in that when the plague first hit, our leaders responded extremely fast + it was gotten under control very quickly, so our lockdown was reasonably short & then we didn't have any other issues for months.
But recently some Sydneysiders made some very foolish + selfish decisions which caused us to have to enter lockdown again, & we're in the 2nd month of it currently.
Which is frustrating, but compared to the year or so of consistent lockdowns + travel restrictions that poor Melbourne has had to deal with, we're getting off lightly.
Just diacovered you and really enjoy your videos. The content is great, so relaxing and calm.
For the money these are great tents! Simon
Great little tent, used one for over a decade in my local lakes and all kinds of weather. Never let me down, it was only that the hem of the fly and the seam sealing tape started to give out that I replaced it.....with a zephyros 2, my goto quick pitch budget tents.
Great video .hope there's lots more through the winter. Thank you for sharing
Nice trip, Paul. I especially like the nighttime footage, as it always gives me a sense of adventure!
Hi Paul, really enjoy your videos! They are super inspiring and good fun to watch :) Hope you enjoy making them as much as we love watching them!
Absolutely beautiful Paul what a fantastic place to camp. Stunning, cheers 😎
Nice little tent. Glad you mentioned the comfort on a Thermarest pad, something they need to work on compared to the Etherlights.
Been busy so just catching up on the videos, spat my tea out after hearing you say “on the piss!” Not heard that saying for years!
Looked like a fantastic camp Paul. I would say a hard earned bit of time to yourself with all the work on the van recently. Cheers ! Mark
I bought one of these in July. Cracking tent. held up well for an entire night of fairly heavy rain. Easy to set up, even I can understand how to do it. I am going to the Yorkshire Dales this weekend to give it another outing.
Awesome Paul!
Was over that way this morning. Cracking little over nighter 👍
Hi Paul, great to see you back! I really enjoy watching your videos and really enjoy the gear reviews. I hope you are okay, I know life can be shit sometimes but you’ve always got a future 🤙🏻 stay safe
Great stuff Paul keep them coming helps me chill.
Cheers Paul, was looking forward to a vid and wasn’t disappointed. I have the zeph 2 and get on really well with it. Great little camp with stunning views, keep it up mate 😊
Lovely views & a good camp by the looks of it. The tent seemed to hold up well.
Cracking location that. I got the Helm1 earlier this year and I love it. Punching way above its price tag, and plenty of room and I am 6’3”. I was attracted by the zephyros for it being a bit lighter, but opted for the helm1 as it’s free standing and easy to pick up and move to find the best location. Great tents
Great vid, thanks Paul
Love that hill, haven't been up there in a while. Up through the woods is a great way to get to it too.
Wild Country Zephros 1 was my first tent (a few months ago). I loved the way it looked and liked the large porch space. Also having closable vents is really great for the colder weather. Sadly Wild Country sent me a 'well' used tent from Amazon that had muck on it and loads of down feathers everywhere. Not against waste or anything but repurposed tents really ought to be spotless. I found it a bit tricky to set up nice and tort + for me being 6ft I did find having the inner fly a few inches away from my face was a bit too much.
Eventually I sent it back, but one thing I found was the carry bag with all the fancy compression straps weighs well over 100g. I ended up storing it in a bin bag that compressed just as well and ended up weighing next to nothing.
Looks good.
Nice vid Paul, well done for pitching a new tent in the dark, I cant pitch a tent that good in broad daylight in my back garden. Cheers 👍
Another great camp, cheers Paul.
Stunning views Paul and always a pleasure to see your enthusiasm 👍
6.23 epic!!!🌅
Very impressed with the generous vestibule on such a small tent 👍🏻
Had that very same beef stew a few days ago walking the Cumbria way. It was surprisingly good!
Love that place. I live here - spend a lot of my time walking that hill and all the other ones you can see from the top (Shining Tor, Roaches, Three Shires Head). In fact my wife has instructions to ensure my ashes are scattered up there! Have been up a few times at night but never camped because, as you found out, it gets very busy. Also the farmers house is directly below and I figured he would be up to move me on. May try it with a Bivi one night. Great video. Thanks for sharing.
I was starting to wonder where you had gone! Good to see you again Paul! :D
My tent! Love my Zephros 1 😍
Beautiful views
Easy watching, nice and relaxing footage 👌 👍⛰
Lovely views from there . Tent looks a real decent one for the price been looking at that and the helm 1 compact to use in the hills . Anyway well done take it easy Paul 🏕🌄👍
Sea to Summit Etherlite for me. I've only had it a few weeks but had two breaks with it and...heaven. I'm a mostly side sleeper and with this, I get no aches in the morning. My best ever investment.
Nice one Paul , I got my Zephros 2 for £99 from Winfields a while back, great tent, it just the outer door fitting to the inner that lets it down a bit, so I use a cloths peg when its wet to roll up the outer skin, Beautiful video btw
ATB Bruce
Same situation when I camped on pen y fan there was people up there until 11 at night and 4 in the morning so I had no choice but to pitch up regardless of people being around
Thats good timing…..I head to Arran tomorrow and will be pitching the tent in the dark. Hope the nice bit of flat ground I find isnt the local putting green😳.
We're just back from Arran ourselves. We camped up the north side of the island in a place called Lochranza. Beautiful
@@jordansjourneythroughlife3587 I know Lochranza well. Have heard Glen Sannox is nice too. I have the car with me so will probably camp in different locations over the island. Might have a night up on Goat Fell. Thanks for the tip.
@@thomasjeffersonlane9902 I have a petzl actik core that I like. Got some heavier ones but prefer the petzl. Decent on the munros too.
Nice little tent that like
Nice one Mini Mez. Keep up the good work.
Lovely job pal
Great video Paul awesome views thanks for sharing amazing video, going to the peak District with my mate for a camp it's a great place .
Wow…. Keep doing you!
Awesome vid Mez, good little tent, great views atb Muz
nice camp. I also have this tent. All my videos are me camping using the zephros 1 compact. I even did the west highland Way in it a few months ago. It never let me down! It's definitely light, but i would disagree with the comments on saying theres plenty space.. it's pretty small inside, but I love the porch area for storing wet backpack/boots and cooking. Quite tricky to pitch well.. you did a good job if thats your first time! Enjoy
I used to love my zephyros tent. Served me well in some harsh conditions too. I’m puzzled as to why they haven’t addressed the door situation. Needs a toggle to tie it back. Everyone complained about that lack of feature. Trusty clothes peg method in use I see 😂 good to see you back out. Not so good all those folks. So late and so early. Don’t they know the wildcampers rule. Pitch late leave early? Atb mate 👍
There's a T toggle on the bottom of the door and a hoop on the inner tent at the top to tie the door back, there always has been, easy to miss though. Can see it on the video at 8:38 the black toggle on the inner tent. Though the looks like it's reversed on those newer versions. Inner tent also had same hoop and toggle to roll down too.
Great video 👍
Lovely place to go camping 🏕 but maybe a bit to busy, great 👍🏻 video. Cheers mate
Brilliant Paul, I have a love hate relationship with my zephros 2 , love the compact and weight off it but the door folding inwards annoying, I'm being picky though!, cheers for sharing this paul always appreciate it marra all the best stay safe 👍 🏕
Always liked that tent, its a steal at that price. Beautiful location, weather perfect, can't ask for more. Nice vid mate, enjoyed it. Catch you soon. Atb 👍
Another banger vid from the camping king
Great one man tent, Paul. What a beautiful view mate.
Cheers from Down Under…
Places near towns and cities have a lot more people up for the sunset, specially when its a short walk (
Just got a vango cairngorm 200 tent which looks alittle similar, ive not used it yet but im looking forward to!
Lovely little camp that was
Ready made meals are a boom on a quick camp
I only use gas wonder if I should try a fuel stove ?
I am lucky you don’t see many members of the public on the Cheviots only the odd wild camper
Nice tent for most , but I need the 220 cm length and vertical end walls to keep the down bag dry
Keep em coming
Enjoyed that paul. I have the zephyros 2; from memory the 1&2 are the same footprint but the 1 has the large porch. How does the inner space compare to the scarp? Atb gordon
Great vid, keep it up. I still use an old Vango Zenith 100 that is almost exactly the same (size, weight, shape) and only cost me £65. I think it has now been rebranded as the Vango Nevis 100 but I highly recommend to those on a budget. Trimming a few of the unnecessary bits and pieces it is quite easy to get sub 1.5kgs 👍
Videos like this, will get many off the Sofa!
Cracking little tent mate ,nice to see you out again, I'll note not to try that particular spot for a wild camp tho 😂 busy bleeder 😂😂 keep up the good work muckaroooo
I was in there in the bivvy on a Tuesday night this summer, and people were rocking up well past sunset. A few teenagers turned up at about 12 too 😂. And there there was a guy up there to catch the 4.30 sunrise too!
Where is the location if you don't mind me asking
Good stuff brew dogs back 😁😁🍻👍
They definitely a quality product for the money the Wild Country tents Paul....no bits missing or poor stitching etc i would assume.. only thing with this style of tent is the headroom and I'm over 6 ft so alright for more stealthy camps I spose even though it didn't quite pan out that way for you like lol... still great looking and lightweight though so thanks for sharing, ATB Mark :)
Good video as always! Hope you're OK
Good little tent that think I should get one my self .
Robens Arrowhead is my preferred 1 man budget tent. Pitch outer first which is great for wet weather. Also poles go only 1 way so no confusion pitching in the dark. Build quality excellent.
I've been up there myself, great view although I didn't camp. Would love to do it though.
I bought a Seatosummit pad and used it for the first time over the last two days. What a difference! I had a self inflating thing before and this beats it by a mile. Shame one of my tent poles snapped. I also need one of those long spoons!
You can repair or replace poles, no need for a new tent!
@@darthkek1953 yeah, I’ve got a pole on order but it hasn’t come after about 3 months!
@@cornbeef Ouch!
Took me a while to realise this is up on Shutlingsloe, looks like they've re-done the trig point. You'd probably get on better up on Shining Tor or Axe edge moor instead, similar views, less people haha
How lucky are u to be in such a beautiful place. Great video bud
So peaceful at night…
Nice camp, any chance you could name the hill your on for future visits.
Thanks for the vid Paul. Absolutely stunning location, could you please let me know where to find the cap your wearing, I didn't see a link below.
Just bought myself a Wild Country; the Helm 1 Compact. Hopefully out in anger next weekend in it 👍🏻
P.S. Hows the campervan coming along Paul?
Great little hill that. Still not camped up there though, little busy for my liking tbh! Was up there with the drone last week if you want to have a look at that vid on my channel 👍🏼
👍✋ From Puerto Rico.
Couldn’t of picked a better morning Paul, try one of the OEX Lynx’s you’ll be surprised how value for money they are 👌
Paul, I would highly recommend you pick up a regular S2S Ether Light XT Insulated (or large for that matter). Not much heavier and colder than a Neo Air and a whole lot more comfortable. Additionally, it's a lot more comfortable I find than the S2S Ultralight Insulated with the larger air sprung cells, and much lighter and much less bulky than a Ether Light XT Extreme which for me is just comically large. In my opinion, it's the sleeping pad sweet spot.
Is there any way to tighten the inside of the fly other than guying the sides out tighter? It seemed quiet floppy on the inside and would maybe be a racket during the windy weather. Lol. Lovely spot, very busy, I too always like to be packed up before the first people come up the hills…..though not always possible.
Great video, again, Paul.
Hands-up all those who have pitched in the dark to realise next morning you're on an ants nest!
Great video Paul, always the way when you go to the busy places, plenty of people. I waited ages once too done in the south and ended up pitching in the dark, cheers Si
Paul have you got a link for the little air pump me duck I cant see one
Cracking video as always Paul. What’s the make of the windshield? Looks like it would be perfect for my mytimug 650.
good video
Brilliant vid great looking tent
If your looking to retire your sleep Matt I’ll rehome it lolol
Hi Paul, what's the little alcohol burner you're using please? Looks a bit livelier than the trangia.
Hi Paul, lovely spot mate. Quick question, have you had any encounters with any wardens in the peak District lately? I heard they were cracking down.
That rucksack looks straight out of Where Eagles Dare :-)
Blimey Paul! How big is that backpack?
Hi Paul I'm loving the channel and thanks for all your hard work. I'm struggling to find a link to that decathlon jacket, I've seen one on the site but not 100% sure. Please can you tell me the design of provide a link. Thanks again.
I have this tent 😀
Where did you get your cap? Lost one like that a couple of years ago and haven't been able to find a similar replacement since. Also how do you choose what stove to take and why does it make a difference? E.g., this video you had the oil burner and a gas one, others you have a jetboil, sometimes you only take an oil burner.
I love your videos ❤️ i love camping too but i have no equipment for camping.. I'm from Philippines..
Hi Paul, can I ask for the link to the cup windshield system you used I this video? Cheers 👍
When pitching in the dark , make sure you position your cans of beer near the tent incase your headlamp fails. 🍺🍺
The tent does resemble the design of the Vango Nevis 200. How does it compare Paul ?
Paul where did you get your water bottle holder that on your shoulder strap from please
Heyup Paul 👍. Due to work I live in Macclesfield,without been too specific where d'ya pitch up? Great video , again.. Cheshire pointy ting??
Hi Paul.could you recommend a few companies where I can buy the dried meals on line ? Like some of the ones you use.many thanks.
you'd hate me, I go running after it gets dark, only using a torch when absolutely necessary (usually just on road sections so people can see me), there is no safe time to pitch up :)
