    Mini Trivia: I ended up swimming in the pool twice as my camera battery died during the first swim 😅
    A simple wild camp with a little bit of foraging and wild swimming involved.
    * Always double check any foraged items from multiple sources and if in any doubt - don't eat it. *

    I had that tent for a bicycle tour. It was great, lightweight and did the job, but I really hated not being able to sit up, so I pasted it on. Getting dressed was particularly awkward. I've also read that book, FANTASTIC! Thanks to @maximusironthumper for mentioning your channel. I'm currently working through your tiny house build. Good luck.

    • @KeiteiVentures
      @KeiteiVentures  ปีที่แล้ว

      Thank you for watching and checking out my channel. Those tents are definitely compact and only really good for sleeping and reading laying down.

    I like how you always take a book on your adventures. But have you ever considered writing a book of your own? As I feel your innate sense of adventure and down-to-earth spirit, would definitely be an inspiration to lots of other people outside the world of TH-cam!

    Yo KT...another cool camping viddy! I ordered a book recently to identify mushrooms which is all in black and white so I'm quite jealous of you and your books. There are some cool mushrooms appearing recently and hard to be 100% on what they are. Amazing work on the voice over! Great way to make up for a turned off microphone. Cooler though if you could have used that guy's voice in the audio book you play a lot...Lord of the Rings? As for the ticks, you guys have way more than we do. Even in the "tickier" places they're nothing like yours. My favourite moment was seeing your "Stay Cosy" mug at what had to be a very chilly moment of post-swim...and the waterfall. Good on ya for getting in there...twice. It had to feel great after when you were warm and dry again! Peace!

    • @KeiteiVentures
      @KeiteiVentures  ปีที่แล้ว

      Yo Mookie, it's great to have a mushroom 🍄 book, shame it's not in colour. We've had a lot of rain for August so have had more mushrooms than normal. It is so hard to confirm what the are.
      Ah, it would have been great to have a Lotr style voice over :D make it quite the epic trip.
      The ticks are pretty extreme at the moment, I'm constantly checking.
      I definitely appreciated that hot chocolate 🫕 after my dips 🏊‍♀️
      Luckily I was fast enough to avoid the tour group that appeared after I left 👍

    Another great adventure Keiteu where you once again delight in all things natural. A full enjoyable view - I thought the pitch was worth a 9 in itself. I mean radiant colors as you opened the tent up. Yeah, them Parasols are lovely - I've cooked a fair few up before now. I trust you enjoyed. Well, good on you for the swim. I imagine you were buzzing after. All the best out there. Mark

      @KeiteiVentures  ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Hey Mark, yes I was super pleased with the pitch, despite the neighbours 😁
      The parasol mushrooms were such a welcomed find when I wasn't expecting them. Someone mentioned I should try them in an omelette which is a great idea, glad you've tried them too.
      The swim 🏊‍♀️ was great, was pleased to have the hot chocolate waiting for me afterwards though 🫕

    An excellent mid week video. Its like the olden day's, waterfalls and steam trains.

    Hello K... Our world is one of a kind. Just being out with nature and the beauty of what is around us is a gift from God. The weather makes no difference but when it is warm we feel so much better. Try Mushroom omelette with wild garlic awesome. Bilberries has a lot of vitamins in and by what you have done with them makes a refreshing drink. Wild swimming I have done nothing like a refreshing dip in hot weather. Take care and talk to you soon,,,,, Regards Mick,, Chef-on-the-wild-side,,,,,, X

    • @RubbishGimpy
      @RubbishGimpy ปีที่แล้ว +3

      In Britain there are not many fungi that can kill you out-right. Some can serverly hospitalise you, a lot gives various forms gastrointestinal problems. I recommend learning a few edidble mushrooms which are easy to recognise, Puffballs, Parasoles, Bolete and then enjoy.

    • @KeiteiVentures
      @KeiteiVentures  ปีที่แล้ว +3

      It is a bit of a concern at first, especially when you are 99% sure you're correct but also aware that there is a similar looking mushroom 🍄 which is also deadly 😯

    Looks like a great place to camp and swim. But why do you call it "wild" camping/swimming. Might be an american vs eutopean thing. The Bivy tent is nice, but I prever something like the Nemo Dagger. I've got the 3P because it's easier with kids or a partner. Also, what sleep system are you using? I'm a fan of UGQ quilts with a nice cold rated pad.

    • @RubbishGimpy
      @RubbishGimpy ปีที่แล้ว +3

      To hopefully cause offence to everyone 35 and under, its just become a pretentious sub-catagory to name camps mainy for the TH-cam generation. Camping is becoming ever more restrictive in the UK so camping is - paid designated campsite, wilding camping (camp anywhere which is technically illegal) - stealth camping (don't be seen camping).
      15-20yrs ago it was all just called camping.😄
