Thanks mate, been a long time coming this has

Thank you mate Made a few mistakes with this one , edited on my phone late at night

@theblackcountrywanderer7523 was still OK, I still make small mistakes when editing and don't realise until after the video is out , keep it up , you'll only get better 👍🏕

@@OUTDOORALLY Thank you mate, i appreciate that i shall keep going at it and eventually upgrade my phone, this ones a little tired

This was in a local woodland in Torquay mate, took me a while to find that spot!

@@theblackcountrywanderer7523 oh I see. Thought it was a local spot. Nice 👌

@@mjfeder easily done to be honest, every time i go to a wood it looks the same lol I shall be out more often now im back home 👍🏻

Thank you I shall be get it uploaded as soon as i can 👌

Thank you Jason & Nala, im going to aim doing camps every 2 weeks, trying all sorts of different style camps 🤞🏻

@@theblackcountrywanderer7523 I just came back from one last night. All it did was rain 😆

@@jasonnalagowild3070 typical that lol, think the worst camp i did pre channel was in cornwall, i woke up in 6inches of water! 😆

Hi and sorry for the late reply buddy, been off here a little while on work commitments. next time around ill be doing that apart from the breakfast one of course lol, the cans were heated up just enough to warm the contents & stir it up if any bits were cold, the top of the cans were pretty warm but not enough to burn my finger tips. Thats not a bad idea actually might think of that 🤔, i have cleaned it up since as it was a mess in the back! Yea mate its the Daf t244, permanent 4x4 it is the next truck to be issued after bedford MJ Thank you for the support mate im hoping to get back out there soon enough, its been a month now & need to All the best 👍🏻

The load was roughly 22kg, most of it was mainly canvas this time round but i will be investing in lighter sleep equipment, keeping it military mind, The wood used was oak at my friends field, he used them as seats at the bottom, i took them up top Thank you for the support & subscribing More videos to come

@@theblackcountrywanderer7523 I have to or three set ups. One all military surplus; one as light and comfy as I can make it and one that goes in the car and has everything plus some. The ex-miliary stuff is great but not the lightest. I like the nostalgia it brings out; takes me back 35-45 years to when I was a young'un

I shall be doing a review on it soon

I have the F1 Desert variant and it leaks at the point where the door tapes are sewn. Otherwise it is great and you can see it on my channel in the wet weather tent test. It was sold to me from a surplus place in New Zealand and they stressed it was not waterproof or for rainy weather but it works great except at those seams. I will seam tape them and all will be ok.

@@fatmanfaffing4116 Yes ive seen a few reviews and they all say the same thing. There around £50 here in the uk so i was thinking of betting one but there are other alternatives like just getting a waterproof cavas bivi sleeping bag all-in-one type thing

@@wiberly661 Bivis are good but no room in them and getting in and out in the rain usually requires a tarp overhead for cover... so just tarp up and have a bivi bag to protect the sleep system. I hammock camp now with a Helsdon Hammock tent. Can be set up on the ground but awesome slung between trees.

Thanks for your question, the f1 tent has a rubberised base which is 100% waterproof, the canvas i would say shower proof but would need to be sprayed, it does come with a rain cover which can reduce the ingress of water into the canvas Ive had this for many years & bought to from my local army surplus shop in exeter uk

@@theblackcountrywanderer7523 Have found the polycotton ones (are they F1 or F2) to be perfectly waterproof, I've had mine survive some big thunderstorms and remain perfectly dry now; but the nylon ones are known to leak...............

Sorry for the late reply, im looking for a woodburner for my hot tent camps soon enough!

I went half a mile with it, not too far away Im trying to lighten the load a little each time

@@theblackcountrywanderer7523 half a mile not too bad at all. Although that field looked plenty steep. Nice one. Look forward to your next video

@@manomano8939 not a bad trek really, the first video location was quite steep & more longer distance but this one wasnt too bad apart from the slope im hoping to test out one of my hammocks soon, that might be next. Thanks for the support mate, until the next one 👍🏻

@@theblackcountrywanderer7523 So everything you didn't use this trip put to one side. Keep doing that till you have it pared down to the essentials. The rest goes in the back of the car in case.

@@fatmanfaffing4116 At the moment the kit i take out has its own storage facility( temperature controlled shed) I tend to pick things out & change my mind, then i end up with a big pile of stuff to take lol, i agree with you on that, think im going to whittle down some items so i can lighten the load, my pack is 120ltrs but the pouches on the front carry water etc, that adds to it drastically

Thank you for the support & subscribing More videos out soon

Thank you i really appreciate the support I shall be put again next week for another adventure

Thanks mate, not my best effort (still camera shy) Its a good little stove really, i do tend to use military diesel or petrol stoves but those can be heavy at times

Thank you peerpresc8002 The maggot bag so far has served me well lol, bit sticky due to the outer deteriorating but its a beast of a bag! I do have a canadian sleeping bag which i will be using next

Thank you kiwi, it was an amazing experience Hopefully things will improve, we will all ride this storm together You too bud

Thank you for watching & subscribing i really appreciate the support, kind of a slow start with limited camera & tripod was none existent, thanks again next video is uploading as we speak

Thank you rooksfoot, the 58 is one of the best bags I’ve had, had this on for years now& its my go to sleep system i think they are still available at in certain places & still a decent price too 👌

Thanks kiwi, really appreciate it I have just finished my next video & uploading as we speak

Hi Mj, its better to start in May really, i left it a little late in the year! Was out last night and was chilly but saying that thoroughly enjoyable to be out, thank you i really appreciate the support 😊

@@theblackcountrywanderer7523 it’s always good to be out I’m done now till April I’ve done 12 camps this year but I’m not going out when it’s too cold

It has its challenges i must admit, 12 camps is a good number mind, i do agree with the cold weather it really takes it out of you, specially now im shattered after yesterday lol

@@theblackcountrywanderer7523 you always feels tired the next day it’s just part and parcel of going out. I prefer tarp camps over tents you just can’t beat being able to see all around you all night

Thank you, really appreciate it Les
