Unexpected STORM ! wild camping with a VINTAGE tent | HEAVY RAIN and WIND | Galloway Forest

Decided to go wild camping with my son into the Galloway Forest . The weather wasn't the best , but it was only later on , once we were set up, that we found out Storm Kathleen was rolling in . The media were predicting 70mph winds and heavy rain , whilst I don't think we quite got 70mph winds , it was definately very windy with non stop heavy rain through the night. We took out 2 tents with us , the Crua Duo and an old vintage tent , the Lichfield Combat 1 . Did they manage to survive the storm unscathed ?

I had that tent when i was a lad. You need the plastic caps for the poles, as you rightly suspected. Also, mine came with guy lines that simply looped over the metal spikes at the top of the poles. With those guy lines, the thing would pitch pretty well without the ridge pole which saved a lot of weight although the ridge pole is definitely needed for storms!

@Tassietalks

It looked like a cool little camp with rain wind and leaking tents nice vlog

@slindsay808

I had a Millets one exactly the same. Took it on the WHW. Served its purpose

@AirdrieRambler

That looked like a nice spot Ally. I'm disappointed in this video for two reasons: 1) that you didn't sleep in the Combat 1. 2) You stole your laddie's shoes! 🤣🤣🤣 Only kidding, looked like you had an interesting time. Keep them coming!

@VISTATREKKER

My Grandfather bought us a tent like your classic there in about 1980, in my memory it was pretty much identical, thanks for the trip down memory lane.

@MiddysGoWild

The bloody rain, I’m hoping my 2nd camp will be dry…and less windy, great video stunning countryside with your own little lake forming.

I leave my pot noodle for about fifteen minutes. Here's a tip. I wrap a coat or something else around it to insulate it. Cooks quicker 😋.

@greyhikes5236

@ELUSIVEDARTMOOR

@OutdoorWithMike

Nice one mate... i've still only been out the once for a wild camp this year. Been out for quite a few day hikes and bushcraft adventures though. Gotta love the UK weather this year... it's been a wet windy pish hole for sure. 🙂

@mad-about-scotland

Absolute legend...With man flu you should be in hospital, but naw, your oot camping in a vintage tent. Got the same firepit mate, its like crypton factor setting that thing up. Cracking timing with the heavy rain. Brill mate
