Bushcraft, exploring, wild camping, shelter builds and hiking outdoors around Wales.
I camp out in a tent or tarp at mountain streams or woodland, cook gourmet food and do some wild swimming. It usually involves lighting a fire, gourmet food and a few craft beers, wine or whiskey to wash it down. I enjoy checking out ancient ruins and wrecks around the countryside and finding out the history. My usual wild camping spots are in the Brecon Beacons or Snowdonia.
You may see me backpacking or doing thru-hikes on trails.

Sussex Outdoors Gear Review - Pouch, Down Boots, Sit Mat
Evening mi mate... Sounds like a very good idea.. Nice one.
Cheers pal it's a cracker I think
Love it, bought it as my first wildcamping tent, liked it more than the 1p coffins we all see. Had mine for 5years now and still use it as my solo camping tent.
Much better with a tent you can sit up in glad it's served you well 👊
Hi, just got myself one of these, love it, looks great. BUT. The top of the chain is touching the tyre when in gear 1, is this normal. All Engwe tell me is to adjust the derailleur, that is not going to work. In fact the rear wheel is not even in the centre of the frame hence too clos to the chain. Did you find this with yours?
No mine doesn't do that. Check the wheel to see if there's a wobble left and right it might need reseating.
That's a trip it uses a tiny 100mAh 10180 battery. That's like half the size of a AAA battery. Interesting there's a 4000K version.
The battery is miniscule but it still works for a few hours on low
Great perfect really but I'm looking for one with a hat clip
Hat clip would be ideal I've only seen bigger torches with that
@@MrWildWales yes me too type c too no Idea why they don't have a clip 👍👍👍
Nice as a backup 💪
That's true I might keep it on my pouch zip
Got 1 on order they look awesome 👌 thanks for the review never fancied a smart watch but its perfect for trekking and camping and looks cool for a everyday watch....
I've found it brilliant mate think you will like it 👌
Dare I ask which bothy this is?
The bothy name was shown in the video for the eagle eyed 😉 Sorry I can't say its secret otherwise 😆
Looks decent. Been considering finally giving in and getting a smartwatch for the first time. Don’t want all the call and phone stuff though. Just the fitness, heart rate and sleep etc. Can you use all that without getting calls and stuff on it?
Ah, just covered it at the end. Ha. Shame. Gotta be able to turn that off
You can turn the vibration/notifications off on the watch app but I wish it would go off automatically when my phone is on silent
That baffle would make a difference.I might buy the 3 season one that is rated down to 0c.I have camped out in -8 once in a Summer sleeping bag I think rated down to 10c better than nothing but you feel the cold!
It really does, you cinch that and you can feel the difference. Damned good bag
Hey do you think this setup with a tarp will work in the mountains for Tour Du Mont Blanc during September? Also, how durable is the tyvek? And can one's body breathe in it?
I don't know what the temperature is like but it cuts out drafts well and adds a few degrees of comfort. Goretex is better for breathability but this is a lighter and cheaper option
@@MrWildWales for goretex, I have also been reluctant because I saw some videos saying goretex is only breathable when humidity is low (which seems to sort of defy the purpose). I read temperatures at Mont Blanc will be warm during the days and are likely to drop to 10 degrees at night while in lower sections and valleys and once we get up higher possibly down to around 0 celcius at night or just below at the max. I fancy carrying a light setup and see if I can trap some heat. Strangely, I pretty much have the same exact equipment you have in this video and I'd wear thermals and Patagonia Micro Puff jacket but I have no prior experience with the mountains.
@hooptroopers I'd give it a go first for a one nighter see how you get on. Just take extra clothing to make sure for the first time and you will know where you stand 👍
@@MrWildWales perfect, I'm stoked to give it a try! Thank you for the advice on this ultralight setup! Cheers

What's the gps like on it..? Can it be used offline ?.
It does have GPS which you can get to through the workout setting. I will have to investigate it more next time I'm out
What happened about your mates that fcked off and left you.😂😂😂
I took his tent back to him yesterday! Too many drinks were to blame I think
I have the Opalus 3, in which I have just spent a fortnight, its size, porch and relative lightweight is what made me buy it and those are all positive. However, the flysheet does collect masses of condensation and whilst this doesn't come through to the inner tent and problem arises when you are packing up, when despite giving as much ventilation as possible and leaving it a couple of hours with both doors open the tent is still very wet on a warm sunny morning.
Thanks for the info mate. I've stopped worrying about condensation really but I can imagine it's harder to air out with the shape of it. My tents all just get shaked off and hung up to dry as soon as I get home
Out of interest, who took Ed's stuff home? or we're they just left there?
Go up there and get yourself an expensive tent for free 😂 I took his tent which I then reviewed! Gave it back to him today.
Two of us bailed early for reasons which cannot be named 😆 I think it was mainly due to the Jack Daniels...
You guys must be weird mates. 1 leaves without saying anything during a camp, and then you pack up and leave before your other mate wakes up.
Sometimes you gotta do what you got do for reasons you can't go into
@@MrWildWales I get that mate, hope you're all fine.
Looked like a great lads camp 🏕 i hope your mate is ok ? I saw you in Tescos buddy but you looked to busy to talk 😢 looking forward to the next video 👍🏻🏕
I always look like I'm in a rush but never mind saying hello ☺️ Yeah my mate is ok going to go meet him later
Interesting watch 😮😮😮
Nice one man
good we video mate great location, something definitely got to you lol must have been the burgers haha, keep up the good work. Atb Wullie.
Dodgy burgers for sure 😆 or maybe it was the Jack Daniels 🤣
Not all bad you and poppy looked well happy with the burgers 🍔 😊🏕️🔥
The burgers were banging and we still had a good laugh
Give us an update mate, what happened 😂? Looked like a jolly boys outing and the mushies sent you west. Went all Blair Witch towards the end there 😂😂😂
Must have been something dodgy in those burgers 🤣 Think we just had a few too many bevvies to be honest!
It happens Adam 😂😂🇮🇪
😁👍
How odd!
Nice looking tent with some good features, and especially like the drawstring stuff sack. I had a Vango Scafell which it looks to be an upgrade of, just the tunnel tent I found painful getting in and out of having a bad back!
Yeah that's the only thing with front entry tents a little harder to get in and out
You may have sold me on this. I've got a zenith 200 which ive used for 8 years now but i'd like a little more headroom. I actually have the Vango Meteor Pro 300 too which is the same style of tent, just the 3 man version which I bought to use with the mrs and it's absolutely brilliant. It's the price i've been hesitant about but i should probably just go for it given I have got 8 years from my trusty zenith 200 haha.
You get what you pay for normally. Brilliant your zenith has done well all that time though 👍
I really like mine. If you get the angles right the wind just slides over the top. You can tighten the TBS at the front by sliding the knots down (sorry if you've already figured that out).
No I didn't work out the tensioning cheers for that 😊🙌
I left my rucksack at the campsite that morning! Mike came to the rescue and retrieved it later that day and luckily it was still there with another guy pitching in the same spot.
Shout to you and yours.
👍👍
How many zips on the front door ? Please
Just one which opens from bottom and top
Andrew park abandoned a camp in the wind in this, worth a look
Oh I haven't seen that one I'll check it out!
It looks pretti good 😊😊
6 foot 😂
😝
Dont Know if the link to that tent is you affiliate link or not.. (i know its not what you do youtube for, just mentioning) but already it states only one left in stock.. so wont be much commission even if 50 ppl go and buy it... ( i find so many affiliate links dont work..and they get out of giving the content creator anything, just redirect you to a different but identical page) Very nice tent i like the reinforcement on the guy out points and the colour.... cheers 👍 (for exampl ur manfetto tripod link is currently unavailable,,but with a alternative seller on the page)
Hi there pal thanks for the heads up. I do try to use affiliate links if ones available as it makes it worthwhile making the vid. I did think it was a bit cheaper on Amazon but maybe that ones gone out of stock when I went to retrieve the link 👍
I have the f10 helium 2 series lovely tent very light weight strong and can handle a lot of wind . Love the look of this one great review mate ⛺️😊the tension ropes really help on the them .
They do seem very high quality and I think it would do well in the wind. I've seen the nova taking a battering and it laughed it off
Thats so sad that you can't ride on any streets where you live ...here in NY only dirt bikes have that problem, an upgrade you can do is a rack to carry stuff like water food jacket ,i go to the supermarket on mine and carry gallons of spring water etc if you have a cat you can take him with you
You can ride it on the streets but it needs to be restricted to 15.5mph. Actually I think there's a motor W limit as well but I'm not sure what that is.
What's it like up hills buddy?
Not great it slows down to a jogging pace. Better for flat areas
How to avoid the water coming inside the tent from the top during setup? (Before you put the top fly)
I don't think there is really. Just have to do it quick
Been in same boat relationship wise pal happy for you ya videos are brilliant adam live long and prosper mate
You start thinking it's normal after a while 🫣 Thanks bud 👍😁
I like your dry sense of humour 🤣🤣🤣 atb
Ha cheers bud
You not solo my man. The Dogo is tagging along hehe 😅. Looks like you need a dual motor bike to handle that terrain. 3k watts
I do end up talking to her sometimes 😆 More power would have been great for the steep incline
Do you remember what the second app was called?
I can't remember sorry I just searched on the play store and saw two
@@MrWildWales dang alright ty
Piri-piri pot noodle are the bomb! Lovely to hear your thoughts on your girlfriend, men don't relate feelings very much at all even though it's much more acceptable these days. Happy for you mate, you sound really contented 🙂
Cheers pal I was a bit in two minds whether to put that bit in lol
@@MrWildWales Ah it was good, always keep the good stuff! 😀
@oscartravis5740 nice one 😀👍
Bikepacking got me into motocamping, while you can take an ebike more places most of the time you're too exhausted to pitch by time you reach your spot.
True that and unless it's flat there's some effort involved
Love watching Bothy vids. And that was well filmed, edited and a well stocked Bothy. So just subscribed and liked.
Thank you pal! 😁👍
Looking good! Do other ebikes let you go up hills without pedalling?
Would have had to be more of a electric motorbike. The ebikes aren't powerful enough to get up hills without some assistance plus there was probably 135kg worth including the bike 😱
yes its fun mate i allways go on my scooters but been thinking about getting a e,bike ill have a look at your link for it but looking to get a motorbike first so i can get out on far wild camps because as you know e,scooters are still not legal to have on roads
You can go a bit more places either bigger wheels
