Too kind man 🙏! Really glad you are liking the videos!

Yes! Definitely!

As a kid the woods were my playground. It’s a true happy place for me. At night, I definitely prefer just candlelight or the light from a campfire when outside. Even at home I prefer a candle to light a room in the evenings … it’s just so cozy 😀. Luckily the camera can capture things well enough so I can share the experience in the video. I do try to blend in as much as I can when outside. It was actually one of the reasons why I didn’t talk in my earlier videos. You definitely get to see more, like animals coming closer to camp. I really appreciate the thoughtful comment. Hope you have a great weekend! ATB

Glad you enjoyed watching this camp. I always enjoy getting out for a hammock camp. Such a great way to get a good nights sleep in the woods. The deer that often bark in these woods are muntjac. They are tiny dog sized deer. Your father sounds like an incredible man. The things he must have seen. Hope you have a nice Memorial Day weekend. Appreciate you watching another video.

Thanks for watching Lynette. I stumble across too many remnants of fires in the woods. I really wish everyone would leave a place better than they found it so that all can enjoy the beauty of a place! ATB

👍Thanks man. Appreciate you watching!

Thanks that’s great to hear. I appreciate you watching!

😀 Thanks for watching! I was quite impressed with the fire pit as well! I have used it for grilling mostly but never just as a fire pit. You can build a pretty decent sized fire in it for something that folds down into a nice neat package. I still think the small vertical box style stoves produce a bit less smoke but this gives you that real open campfire experience 🔥😀. Very excited to get back into the mountains 👍 ATB

👍👍 I usually really enjoy cooking but the easy route is definitely nice sometimes!

Thanks! Appreciate you taking the time to comment 👍

Thanks Stefan, really appreciate you watching and taking the time to comment!

The Billy pot oven is a neat little method to cook 👍

Thanks! It’s become one of my favorites as well. Such fantastic ergonomics and it’s just a great looking knife! ATB

Thanks! Glad you enjoyed it!

Thanks! 😀👍 the bread did toast nicely next to the fire. Appreciate the comment!

It was definitely nice having the extra time relaxing by the fire pit. 👍 it’s nice and compact and a decent size! ATB

It’s definitely nice if you want to have a large campfire but keep it off the ground! Makes ash cleanup very easy as well 👍. Appreciate the comment!

The oven worked really well. I was pretty excited about it! It was nice to have a meal that was tasty but easy also. I definitely enjoyed the extra time by the fire pit. Haha speaking of … yeah it’s nice. I know you have the Bushbox which I think has always been fantastic as a mini campfire but this thing was like having a proper open bonfire which was a nice change of pace. Definitely don’t need a fire that big all the time though, but on a chilly night it was nice to have! Hope you have a great Easter as well Rich. ATB

Thanks Jake! I appreciate you taking the time to comment. It makes me feel like I’m not just talking to myself in the camera!

@@GoingSoloOutdoors your welcome! Lol, I understand!

They are rare elusive creatures 😄👍

😆👍. It was kind of nice just relaxing by the fire while my lasagna cooked in the little bush oven.

Ini pengalaman yang luar biasa. Terima kasih telah menonton!

Thanks Tom! Welcome to the channel. I really appreciate the support!

True you definitely need the tools. I’m definitely not an avid hammock camper but I find these flat lay hammocks incredibly comfortable and pretty stable once you get used to them. I’m still a ground dweller at heart, but can’t deny their comfort. Thanks for watching Tom!

@@GoingSoloOutdoors Thank you for making it! I was extremely impressed with that oven. :)

I believe they were introduced into the UK in the 1800s and now there are a lot of them around. Thanks for watching!

My wife’s not much of a camper but my kids love camping with me 👍

Haven’t heard that one before. Appreciate all the comments 😀👍

Thanks! Just make the videos that you would want to watch and have fun doing it 👍. ATB

Thanks for the advice! I appreciate it!

👍🌳😀

It was definitely a nice and easy but tasty meal. On this camp I used the tinder wick by überleben to get the fire started👍. Thanks for watching and taking the time to comment!

Welcome to the channel! Yes I did have to refill it once. A full trangia normally lasts around 30-35 min or longer with the summer ring. A breeze can shorten that time. I prefer the 14cm because I’m normally just making food for myself. And it’s a good sized pot. If you want to bake larger items or cook for multiple people I’d recommend the 16. Thanks for taking the time to comment. Really appreciate the support! ATB

Thanks, I appreciate the feedback 😀👍.

Not sure about the pack weight. It feels pretty comfortable and is only a 38L pack so it’s pretty hard to pack too much weight in it 👍. Really appreciate you watching and deciding to sub to the channel! All the best

Thanks! Yes, this is the Warbonnet Ridgerunner. I really enjoy it because it can be used with or without a pad. Appreciate you watching!

@@GoingSoloOutdoors Thanks for your prompt response

Thanks man! I would normally have no issues giving out a location where I camp but It’s actually a local private unnamed woodland (or at least there are no names for it on maps I’ve seen). The gentleman that manages the area was cool with me being there but I’m pretty sure he wouldn’t be cool with me telling others. Hope you understand.

@@GoingSoloOutdoors No worries man, all the best!

@@josephblackhall Thanks for understanding man!

Thanks! It’s the Warbonnet Ridge Runner 👍

Welcome to the channel! Sorry for the late response. The short answer to your question is yes, I do think those items are less appropriate here IMO. I got sucked into the ultralight craze many years back but then I realized I was still healthy and youngish and I could easily carry slightly heavier gear that was more durable and in many instance just better. Don't get me wrong, there is a ton of ultralight stuff that is absolutely incredible, but I wouldn't take a Zacks duplex out in the conditions I often find myself in here in the UK. It may work just fine but it wouldn’t be nearly as comfortable as one of my Scandinavian tents. Same thing with tents where the inner and outer tents are not connected. Those were the kinds of tents I grew up with in the states. They work well but using dual pitch tents where the ground sheet, inner and outer fly all pitch at the same time I have found extremely desirable here in the UK where the conditions can be a bit more unpredictable. I definitely think single wall shelters and ultralight gear have their place if you are finding your pack too heavy or if you are going on longer distance hikes but as someone who is only going out for a night or two I’d rather take gear that is a bit more durable, comfortable and sometimes safer. To give one example, I’ve had a Big Agnes tent pole break in the kinds of winds that we regularly experience here. My advice is to just be weight conscious with your gear and use a mix of ultralight and durable items. In my experience, your body definitely tells you when you need to lighten the load. Sorry for the ramble … I just love talking outdoor gear 🤣. Thanks again for watching some of my video!!

@@GoingSoloOutdoors yeah I’ve been binging some of your Hilleberg videos, they seem extremely well suited to the conditions (except when you cliff camped in Yorkshire with your Enan!) - thanks for the detailed response, was always curious why KZfaqrs in America use different setups to KZfaqrs in the UK, wasn’t sure if it was just tradition and reputation or actually pragmatic based on conditions.

@@dundar888 haha yeah the Enan was definitely the wrong choice for that camp, although it did survive thankfully! The tents available in the states are definitely different. The cottage companies are really producing some cool stuff with durable ultralight materials but many bigger companies have been reducing weight over the years at the expensive of durability unfortunately.

No generally it’s just permission from the land owner. Sometimes I go to Woodlands and they will put up signs if fires are not allowed 👍

This is a technique I first saw by the gentleman that actually created the firebox nano. I haven’t seen anyone use the stones on the actual baking level or on top of the pot before but it works really well! Thanks for watching

I’m using the double layer Warbonnet Ridgerunner. Yeah it’s nice being able to just use a sleeping pad. Gives you a nice flat lay also!

@@GoingSoloOutdoors Thanks for the quick reply. I visited Switzerland last year, I'm sure you'll all love it there. Absolutely amazing country.

@@DaredevilGnome 👍 Great to hear. Never been there before. I’m looking forward to it!

Paul, I saw this hammock on his channel. After a quick chat I ordered it. For me it’s hands down the best sleep in the woods. Do some research there are a good bit of options with material/tarp types/hang system etc. Not to mention is you look into their custom tarp options. Buy it and thank Going Solo later once you use it. 😉

@@tywilliams6530 😀👍 they do have many options! Glad you are liking it

No nothing weird or creepy. There is always a lot of nocturnal wildlife in a woodland but I’ve never had any issues 👍
