- I headed into a local forestry block for a one night tarp camp this week. Despite a little hiccup that caused me a few problems, I still had a great night's camping.
If you are new to the channel, I am based in the Brecon Beacons, Wales, and I am just starting out on TH-cam - I will be posting regular content of myself wild camping, hiking, etc, so if any of this interests you, please feel free to subscribe.
Thanks for stopping by,
Ryan.

Thanks for letting me come along on your camp Ryan enjoyed it Tobys a lass act and well looked after ,stay safe mate .
Thank you, mate! I'm glad you enjoyed the video.
Absolutely loved watching this Ryan. Man and his best friend. Going to watch the rest later.
Nice one, Gar! Thanks for tuning in, mate.
I love this one Ry. I love how much Toby is looked after and kept warm!!! Awesome
Thank you, mate! I'm glad you enjoyed...I've got to spoil him, he's a top dog.
I love how Tobby gets all his own camping stuff.. nice one
I need to get him a rucksack so he can carry it all 😅 Thanks for watching!
😂
Toby’s a star!
We've subbed to your channel because you are calm, you are welsh, you like whiskey...so well done cariad!
Thank you for the nice words and welcome to the channel! Diolch.
That's a beautiful looking spot, love all the moss
It's a great little woodland. Thank you for watching.
A great video in a beautiful place, very easy to watch. Cheers Ryan, thanks for posting. Subscribed.
Hey, Niki, thank you for watching and thanks for the sub. Welcome to the channel. ATB, Ryan.
What a lovely place!!! I don’t understand half you say, but it’s a wonderful video.
Ha ha, I have a strong Welsh accent. I'm glad you enjoyed, thank you for watching.
This is the best video I’ve seen in a long time. Hello from Ohio. USA. God bless you, and long live Toby! He’s adorable
Thanks so much! Thank you for watching and I'm glad you enjoyed. Greetings from across the pond, in Wales!
Always great to see you Ryan, fab content, good editing, I’ve shared the channel good luck with the subscribers 🎉
Thanks so much, Hel 🙂👌🏼
That was a great little watch, i always take a couple of miniatures with me on an overnighter. Lovely doggy. I love Wales
You can't beat a wee dram on a night out can you! Thank you for watching, much appreciated!
the vegi meal looked great
It also tastes nicer cooked on the stove.
Came across your channel via Facebook really enjoyed and subscribed looking forward to watching more 👍
Hello Josh. Thank you, mate, and welcome to the channel.
I just stumbled across this video and I’m so glad I did, I really enjoyed it! And Toby is super bite too! New sub, looking forward to watching more
Hi there, I'm glad you enjoyed and thank you for watching. Many thanks for the sub and welcome to the channel. ATB, Ryan.
😂plonker! Glad you got the drone back...safely...(heh hum!!)
Toby makes me laugh with those where the eff is my dinner/ whiskey!!
Thank you for a fab camp. Nicely chilled now😊🏴🙏
I am indeed, ha ha! Yes, he's definitely a character, and great company too. Thank you for watching!
I enjoyed that..loved the pooch…if I had finished off the presentation pack I’d have woken up on my back no where near the camp looking at the sky 😆👍… just subbed
Nice one, Alan and thank you for the positive comments 👍🏼
No wonder you looked so serious for most of the video, worried about your drone. Enjoyed it anyway and do love your Toby.
That's my look most of the time anyway, lol. Glad you enjoyed and thank you for watching!
I'm a new subber pal! I could tell you were ex forces within about 10 seconds😉Great video, Toby and his sleep system was a treat to see. So glad you saved the drone too👊💪
I think all that green helped give it away. Nice one, mate...thank you and thanks for watching. Welcome to the channel 👍🏼
Lovely little spot you got there butt! Always looking for cheeky woodlands around Bannau Brycheiniog 😊
Thanks for watching, mate! There's some nice ones like this around Llwyn On Res.
Enjoyed the video. Know the Beacons well, I'm from the Swansea area.
We're lucky to have it where we live. Thanks for watching.
That is such a beautiful scenery!!! Is it real??? Looks like a fantasy land to me so pretty...have fun!!!!
It certainly is, thanks and thank you for watching.
That was a cracking video Ryan, great content and not too much waffle, there seems to be a lot of TH-camrs who lose expensive drones, ATB Dave
Thanks, Dave! It was a cracking little camp. Yes, I discovered how easy it is to lose one, I'm going to be more cautious from now on. Enjoy your weekend, mate!
Start looking for a castle cause you'll end up in onewell done man x
Nice one, mate...thank you!
So nice to hear a Welsh accent again. I'm a Pembroke boy but been living in Ireland for the last 26 years. There's some spectacular places to go wild camping over here, but my heart never left Wales and I miss it. Just subscribed to your channel, mate, looking forward to the next video. Take care, mate and give Toby a pat from me. Cheers
Hello, mate, thanks for the sub, I'll be posting plenty of videos of the Green Green Grass for you. Ireland looks incredible, I've had the Wild Atlantic Way on my to do list for quite a while now. Thanks again, mate...take it easy!
@@wildaboutwales Yeah, the Wild Atlantic way has some spectacular scenery, I've done sections of it in Clare and Donegal and it won't disappoint. I'm back in Pembs at the end of Feb to do a few days campervanning with my daughter, can't wait. Hope you don't mind me asking, but did you do a video a good few years ago about an overnighter on Pen y Fan with a Tesco value tin opener only to find your tins had a ring pull? If it was you, fair play, man, that cracked me up, comedy gold!
Ha ha, I can't believe you've seen that and recognised me, that was years ago! That video was the bane of my life, I sent it to someone in the pub and they put it on TH-cam. Yes, the WAW looks incredible, I definitely need to do it. Bet it will be nice for you to get home to Wales, mate.
@@wildaboutwales Haha, as soon as I heard your accent, I was sure it was you! Mate, i laughed my b*****s off, my missus was weak too! Yeah, i'm really looking foward to it, I miss home terribly sometimes, us Welsh don't seem to travel too well, we miss the rugby club, our mates and family, the shit weather and last but not least my Mam's welsh cakes. Yeah, if you get a chance, get over here and do some of the WAW, it's worth the time and effort to plan a few sections and there's the Guiness and as many distilleries as you can point a stick at! I'm a whiskey/whisky man myself!
@@thomasdilworth7691 I still get it now and again when I walk in a pub somewhere "it's a Tesco Value Tin Opener" ha ha! Yes, I'm definitely going to do it, hopefully the full coastline in one go, in a campervan. Oh, I'll be in the distilleries for sure, I had 3 bottles of Teeling for Xmas and a bottle of Redbreast 12... beautiful!
Bloody hell, you're making better grub out in the woods than I do at home. Bacon butties I just had before watching this :D
Good food and a whisky in the woods, can't beat it, Mart!
Another great video buddy. Bit of luck getting the drone back in one piece too FairPlay! Brewdog do a varied selection of beer and especially if you like your stout. More of an IPA myself but they do make a lovely drop. Look forward to your next video buddy keep up the good work!
Cheers, buddy! I can't believe I got it back with no damage, very lucky there. I've only just started getting into the stouts and IPA, I'm quite enjoying them...cider for the summer, beer for the winter! I'll check them out 👍🏼
That my friend was probably the best demonstration of a prusik knot i've ever seen, simple and to the point. Really enjoying your Video's, all the best Mally.
Thank you, mate! Glad you enjoyed and thanks for watching...much appreciated, atb, Ryan.
Nice camp, nice work recovering your drone, but I'm too big and too old for climbing trees. Subbed.
I shouldn't be climbing them at my age either, but I needed that drone back, ha ha. Thanks for watching and thanks for the sub!
class owens boy, thought you we gonna get your sling shot out to get the drone down haha
Ha ha, thanks, mate. I was prepared to try anything to get that drone back, I was bricking it on that climb 😂
Well, all wells that ends well bro. A decent local tarp camp - I do enjoy sleeping beneath a tarp. And with the bushbox going and some nice warm food we are set to enjoy the peace of the forest - accept you have a drone in distress. Cool rescue there. Well, interesting to hear of the movies being present. All the best - have a great week ahead. Mark
Indeed, Mark, you definitely feel more connected to the landscape under a tarp, can't beat a good forest camp too, it's great! Thanks for watching, mate! Take it easy!
Just stumbled across your video and I don't know why but it feels different from all other camping videos so I subscribed. Luckily you had the foresight to put reflective tape on the drone! Greetings from Flanders!
Thank you, that's nice to hear. Apparently the red tape scares off birds, it came in handy anyway. Thanks for the sub, greetings from Wales. Ryan.
great job im irish love the welsh cetlic cousins really enjoyed this adventure well done sir top marks classssssssssssss
Me too...hoping to explore Ireland one day in the future. Thanks very much, mate!
If you like your peated whiskeys I highly recommend you give some Ardbeg 10 a try!
Hello mate, I was lucky to get a bottle of that for Xmas, it's a good one isn't it. The Xmas before I had the Wee Beastie - some serious peat! Thanks!
Just sub'ed Ryan. This episode was very well put together, IMHO.
I really enjoyed the content, the production and the editing. I can see your channel growing very quickly if there's any justice! Very smart, i thought to only reveal the drone dilemma at the end, smart and professional. Im looking forward to more of your films, and in the meantime, I'll venture through your previous offerings. 😊 Cheers, Jack 👍🇬🇧🇨🇦
Thank you once again for the positive feedback, Jack! So very nice to hear, and it's giving me great confidence in what I'm doing! Diolch yn fawr! 👍🏼
How did u not mention the drone whilst you chatting to camera at night... that's so chilled - it must have been the beer & whisky..lol. As ever a very relaxing night but I have to say the thing with Toby would have spooked me right out . Love the filming Ryan, you really put some thought into it - even your walk ins... Toby must think with all the back n forth you are chasing a ball or summat. 😄 I think that is the 1st time I have heard you refer to your army days - somehow I was not surprised. Loved the demo on the knot tying too.. great stuff. Alan
I didn't think I was going to see it again to be honest, Alan. I was so cheesed off, I decided to put it to the back of my mind and just enjoy the camp. So glad I did now as I wouldn't have spotted it otherwise. The whisky did help, ha ha! Toby loves it, he's always happy to be out. Thank you, Alan!
I went to wipe a splodge off my screen but its a patch on your tarp lol 😂
Great video good idea that reflective tape,looking forward to more videos from you
Cheers, mate, and thanks for watching! Apparently the red reflective scares the birds off...also comes in handy for bad drone pilots too!
Hi man, I have the same drohne and exactly the same happened to me 2 weeks ago. Flying into a 20+ m high group of four, snow covered firs. Battery flew out. Had to let it overnight there. Couldn't see it at all. Desperate. Next morning we could shake it down. Nice video btw.
Hi, mate...thank you! Glad you got yours back too! That feeling of dread when you lose it is terrible isn't, ha ha!
Watching from the UAE 🇦🇪 Dubai
Loving the footage - homesick 😂
Ha ha 😂
Hey Ry! Just watched a couple of your vids and I look forward to watching more!
Do you do all your own editing?
Love the shots at the beginning of you walking by and the aerial views...brilliant!
Jay
Hello, buddy! Thank you, glad you're enjoying! Yes, all my own filming and editing, it's all new to me, but I'm getting the hang of it slowly. I'm back out tomorrow night and we've had some snow on the mountains, so hopefully it will be a good one.
Thanks for watching, and take it easy, pal 👍🏼
What was the knot you tied around the tree to secure the tarp. Beautiful forest
That was a taut-line hitch knot, mate.
Great video just submitted what makes your drone
Thank you, mate! It's the DJI Mini 2
Enjoyed that, new sub here, look forward to the next episode. Diolch
Nice one...thanks very much!
Great to see another valley man .enjoying our hills.. .maybe bump into on a mountain somewhere one day .great video .. new subscriber here ✌
Thank you, mate, and nice one for the sub! I'll be up the mountains a lot this year, so there's always a chance....cheers, butt 👍🏼
That's my plan too.. will look forward to your new adventure blogs ⛺
Hello from England. Just subbed you fella.
Thanks, mate...just returned the favour!
Nice to see a Snugpak Bergen fitting well?
Yes, it's a great pack. Nice and spacious for the winter kit I need to pack.
I would just love Snugpak to update it with adjustable length back?@@wildaboutwales
@@lauriebloggs8391 I hadn't thought of that tbh, as I'm lucky it's a good fit on me. It would be a good feature to add though.
I have one and it seems to fit me well, but haven't walked far with it. Have you? I think any pack with serious pretentions, should at least have an adjustable back for a good fit?@@wildaboutwales
@@lauriebloggs8391 I'll be honest, I've only started using it this winter for one night wild camps, so I'm still testing it. I doubt I'd use it for hiking as I tend to go lighter then and use a different pack, but I think I'd be happy with it going off how it feels on my back fully loaded.
Looked on yr description page and most couldn't be found... that drones loud huh ...
What couldn't you find on my description page? Happy to help if I can.
@@wildaboutwales some of yr gear lol ..
@@user-mj4yo7pi9j yes, I've got most of there, just a few items missing now. I'll update the next time I'm editing.
@@wildaboutwales 👍
I’ve just found your channel, great vids. What pack pack do you use? Thanks
Thank you, mate, glad you enjoyed! It's the Snugpak 100L. There's a link to it in my kit description.
Ah thanks I will take a look, I’ve got a short back. Plenty of room but heavy 👍👍
@@perrymarc2162 you're welcome. There's stacks of room in this pack, it's great for the winter camps.
👍
