Great to see you out again. Thanks for sharing proper camping content. 🏕🔥🏴
Thanks mate. Thanks for watching and commenting. And a big thank you for the generous donation again. I was hoping you were on the live feed so I can thank you more directly! A bit premature being out, but the vaccination program is successful and the numbers are WAY down.
How's things with you? Back out camping and all well I hope!?
@@MontyOutdoors Hi mate-I tune in to the live feed every week and heard your comments, thanks. Glad we can get out now but it’s looking a bit hectic at places. Take it easy. 👍🏻
Nice to see you uploading videos again and getting out and about :-) Hope your good mate :-)
Was out this weekend too mate. Just did my health the world of good thanks. How's things with yourself big man? All well I hope?
Good to see you out again again , nice wee vid mate 👍
Cheers Ally. Are you uploading a video from your camp the other night?
@@MontyOutdoors aye mate , just editing the now ,probs today or tomorrow ! 👍
Good to see you back out , I stayed on that lock once absolutely beautiful 🤩 keep up the good work.
Cheers mate :D You got any camps organised soon mate???
Great to see you oot & aboot again. keep the vids coming.
For you big man, they will be getting rolled out like a Marvel movie!
Love the oex equipment mate
Who would have thought it mate lol. My Phoxx is coming with me in a few weeks time for a summit camp!
Never forget your thermals !
The gear makes it all possible - great enablers. Sweet camp dude. Mark
Thanks, Mark. It appears y'all enjoy it more when I focus on the gear. Something I need to bear in mind. How have you been anyway, big man?
@@MontyOutdoors Well, we can't do without it that's for sure. I do love the nature more though. Me? Getting on buddy. Peace!
Just catching up on your videos. It’s great you can get back out!! Looked like a beautiful place to camp!
Aw thanks, Lainey! Restarting my Insta too, so hope you enjoy the photos x
Wayhey good to see you back out mate👊! Looks great around Loch Lomond wondering about stopping the night there on my way to skye.
Btw you can get a cloud peak from aliexpress
Plenty of spots at Loch Lomond, PLENTY. I was on the West Highland Way side that's outside the permit area, everywhere else in the permit zone till September. Just drop me a message closer to time and I can advise if you need help. And I managed to get a Cloud Peak. I got my mate from Germany to purchase it and then post it over :D
Great video Monty beautiful scenery and great gear review .
Cheers mate. Really loving it that you guys enjoy it when I threaten others to perform a gear review!
Nice to see you uploading again Monty. You showed some nice camping gear in this video mate. This spot looks great for the winter months. Hopefully that's you back on TH-cam more often now enjoyed your livestreams though.
Weekly videos from now on big man and not long till we are back out together. We will take them on and gain dominance within the camping vlogging community lol.
I love Vango tents , I have a banshee 300 ., stands up to all weathers so far
Good to see you back out monty. Looked a good spot even for a hammock. Im hoping to get out sometime next week for a camp. All the best mate. Sam
Hi Sam, hope you're well, buddy. Have you been back out? We should get something organised soon!
Wild camping at the perfect wild spot awesome mate
Cheers mate! Thanks for watching and I hope all is well with you!
Great vid, I got out Monday after lockdown restrictions relaxed for a minus 4 C camp. All the best
Thanks for watching and leaving a message mate! Where did you head off to?
@@MontyOutdoors Camped out in a bit of a favourite spot. Remote, super quiet woods 👍🏕
@@JamiedoesWildBikepacking Which area/region was it? Always interested in where other campers go
@@MontyOutdoors Norfolk based, Thetford forest and a few others places I’ll keep hush hush about for myself 🤫😂
Great to see your out again I have my first camp planned for the 30th and can't wait. Hope you are doing well mate your have lost tons of weight well done.
Where you got planned, mate? And thank you so much haha, I didn't think it was that noticeable! Hopefully we can get a camp planned together in the next month or so! Would certainly be up for heading up your way.
@@MontyOutdoors heading to loch Quoich. Going to climb a hill and find somewhere to camp should be amazing. Am really up for that camp mate not sure I will get any weekends off when the pubs open though.
@@GusExplores Oh wow, show off! That's some journey and spot. I wanted to do that region, but my mate's want Skye, so I'll give them Skye lol. Just let me know when you have an idea when you are free and we can take it from there. I am also quite flexible as I have flexi time.
@@MontyOutdoors you can't go wrong with Skye it's amazing. The loch I am going to is so remote I think we are just going to camp beside the cars. Am so ready for this
great vid monty, love the gear reviews!
Thanks Burnsy. I hope it helps with any future/potential purchases, mate.
Love scotland,love this video thankyou.debs
You are welcome, Debs!
Must feel amazing to wake up to that, I need to get out there soon.
For me - and many others - it's like an escape route, from the likes of "real life" stressors: work, personal isues, bills, etc,. When I'm out there, I just don't have any of that. It's like a clean slate for the mind if that makes sense?
amazing opening shot there !
Gavvvvv, how's it going mate? Can't beat a waterfall shot, I try and get many into my videos when I come across them!
The goats are friendly but stick. Believe me 😂. Good camp pitch. You had your bid agnes mat upside down 😂👍. The Loch looks great. Enjoyed watching 👍. Atb Steve
They ran away from me, Steve, which was sad as I would have liked to have petted them and made new friends. And I am going to have to check the Big Agnes if I had it upside down haha. You got more trips planned? Me and Gaz really need to come down your way soon.
Hello Monty. Anytime you want a camp just let me know. Atb Steve 👍
@@stevesdaysoff2759 Leave it with me, sir!
Great to see you out again, Monty! It's been a long wait this time hasn't it? I've not managed a camp yet, but had a few decent hikes. Hope you're keeping well👍
Far too long a wait, mate. We were a bit premature, but with a successful vaccination program and the numbers lower than ever: our mental health was every bit as important. How have you been keeping? When are you hoping to get back out?
@@MontyOutdoors Not been doing too bad mate. Trying to keep the legs in shape on local walks 😁 All being well, jut doing an overnighter in the Goyt Valley on Wednesday. Can't wait!
I’ve just picked up a OEX Phoxx II v2 tested out earlier love it, can’t wait to get an over nighter in. Great content as always 👍👏🏻👏🏻🏕⛺️😀👍🙏👍🏕
Just checking my comments and I could have sworn I replied to this! So sorry!
Yeah, I'm a huge fan of OEX - and Vango, just to get that out there - and their products have never let me down. I had the Phoxx 1 out in about 50 to 60 mph winds and it performed like a champ. I know people who have the Phoxx 2 and haven't heard a bad word about it. You got any trips planned?
And thanks mate, massively appreciated! Hope you are well, Monty.
@@MontyOutdoors yeah I’m busy having walks out looking for cheeky over nighters looking for tent and hammock spots then need to figure out video the camps out and push my TH-cam in a new direction. The main problem at the moment is every one is camping mad not travelling abroad with most trashing places for others, example lady bower reservoir are turning wild campers away the turned away 2 TH-cam channels a few days ago both the English woodsman and Oscar outdoors so I’m looking to get well off the beaten tracks to avoid this and the masses. I have been getting all new gear during lockdown to start over fresh so have alsorts I want to test out and stuff including OEX Phoxx II, Nature Hike Cloud Up 2 and One Tigris Tangram along with hammock and tarp setups so loads to do, film and stuff. With the Phoxx II being my main solo tent so dying to get out and test this tent out hopefully with some rain and stuff.
@@grimlightwildoutdoors Where is it you're from? You will probably want to create a new TH-cam channel given your current one doesn't reflect on camping. In relation to the direction of your channel... that can take years. That "eurika" moment for me has just about hit. Lady Bower has always had that issue though. They made the mistake by going to a popular location in numbers. I reckon if you were to go somewhere more remote and less numbers, you'll be fine. I can only speak highly of the Phoxx and really any OEX equipment. I'm also a big fan of Vango and Naturehike tents. Hope you're out soon, mate. Works wonders on your mental and physical health!
@@MontyOutdoors I’m from the middlesbrough area in the north east. TH-cam looking at several options I’ve worked in the web / digital sector for years so pushing this when ready won’t be hard. I’m hoping to get an over nighter in this weekend, I’m making a point of getting as far out the way of the main trails as possible to avoid all the chaos and stuff. The Phoxx II will by main tent when doing solos with it being low profile, strong in winds but also blends in well with the cloud up 2 and Tangram when I want more space or I’m able to get my daughter to tag along. Looking forward to getting back into landscape photography as part of this and blending the too. Really need the above don’t mind how this works out and stuff just going with it and see we’re it leads me and in the process keep fit and strong mentally. One thing Scotland have got right are the views and wild camping being allowed and the freedom this gives all in the process. Unlike the rest of the U.K. wanting to keep people as sheep and under the thumb. Also thank you for the kind words means a lot, thank you 👍
Get on Monty 👍. Always a pleasure mate. Two people rubbing cloud peak tents in your face bud. Cracking spot 👌 I'm very jealous 😁. Thanks for sharing Monty. Atb Sconja 👍
Sconja you legend! I've got a Cloud Peak and that's 4 of us who now have the Cloud Peak. I think we are going to do a video one time with us all out in our Cloud Peaks for a laugh.
But thanks for watching, commenting, and donating chief!
Hi Monty , Just found your channel , looks good , have a great day , be well my friend and enjoy !
Hello Bob Head! Hope you are well mate and thanks for watching my content and leaving some cracking comments! First time and hopefully last time I lose my thermals. The red light was the little fire on the firepit we had. And are you sure Vango and OEX are made by the same people? Maybe they share the same technology?
@@MontyOutdoors Hi mate , according to a friend , they are made by the same company , he uses a lot of OEX equipment .
@@bobhead6243 That's very interested. I know initially OEX was a small team associated with Go, but they split a while back. Had no idea they were made by the same company. Thanks for the info.
Good to see you out again chris I was over on arran last night but the oex traverse imx mat was rubbish plus the bobcat 1 was rubbish as well
What happened with the mat and tent, Alan?
bet it was a cold night
It was a cold day and I actually had to lay in the sleeping bag for an hour haha, but at night it was around 2/3c so it was a bit chilly. Thanks for watching, mate.
Heyup Monty👍.Outdoor essentials uk website is showing cloud peak 2 as being in stock pal,mind u at £220 its quite pricey. We enjoy watching your vids. All the best m8
S'appenin' Fraser? Good news mate: I bought the Cloud Peak and it's now in my cupboard! Waiting till it's a rainy night before I will use it. I got it for £140! And thanks mate, comments like yours keeps my channel going. All the best mate, Monty.
@@MontyOutdoors Now that's some good news buddy👍. Could tell you really wanted the cloud peak. Got mine last year,but had to wait a couple of months until they were back in stock. I'll keep an eye out for the notification of your next video,hopefully with your new tent in it too. 😁😷👍👍. A.t.b Fraser.
@@fraserconnell21 I got mine delivered to a friend in Germany and then posted over: done within a week! The Cloud Peak is due to hit the screens in the first or second week of May :D Thanks mate, really appreciated. ATB, Monty.
@@MontyOutdoors Good job auld chap 👍👍.. They are great tents for the 💰. . Glad you have the tent wot you had coveted. 😷💥
😂😂😂 don’t you be rushing that boy Frazer into revealing the maker of his sleeping bag and mat there Monty 😳
He’ll tell you when he’s ready to & not a moment sooner 😉
Fraser was more into it than me! The big man absolutely stole the show lol.
Oex and Vango are virtually the same , made by the same people.
Right Wens the mountains camp
8/5/21 mate. There's a few of us heading up 2 munros... Mike being one of them!
What was the Red light in your video ? , in the background , at 3.32 mins in .
Get in there for a swim before I riot!
After losing 4 stone, I think I will wait till summer. My lack of body fat doesn't keep me as warm haha. You been out yet?
This cannot go on Monty 🙄
We have to organise some sort of benefit concert on behalf of Cloud Peak Mike 🤔
Pocket poverty should not exist in the 21st century 😂 we need to get that boy more pockets.
... guess who has the Cloud Peak? 😂 Although not satisfied with the poles. Absolute cheap crap aluminium. Might look into e-mailing a company that custom make them, as I wouldn't mind stronger poles.
Where exactly is this please near lock lomond? @Monty outdoors
Just down from the Rowchoish bothy mate.
Nice video, looks like a great trip. Do you have any trouble with condensation in your Mirage Pro 200?
I think I had trouble ONCE in my Storm Ciara video, but every other time: none at all. I think if it were condensation, I've never had condensation issues in any of my tents.
@@MontyOutdoors thanks mate for the response. I love this tent, perhaps it might be my heavy breathing :)
@@jockodiounto8121 Oh you've got it too! It's a world class tent mate. Have you seen my Storm Ciara video? It's in there weather I question its condensation or not, but it was a low temp at night that increased to double figures the following day. And the tent is waterproof. Also had it out in strong winds up a mountain. Fantastic tent!
Was this up next to Inversnaid ?
Aye mate. I'd say it's about a 90 minute walk south of Inversnaid and it's outside the permit area.
hi mate, do you know if this spot is close to a car park ?
About a 90 minute walk from Inversnaid/Rowardennan car park, Jay.
