Sad sight seeing those cows.. All mothers and calves taken away either for veal, dead within a week, or eventually raped by a human hand just to provide milk for humans... Dairy is scary
@ysgolgerlanАй бұрын
These cows have some quality of life as they are free to roam all the fields before the inevitable happens to them, also they are not a dairy herd so no milking for them. Thanks for watching.

Really enjoyed that once again! Shows that wild camping isn't always about those prime National Park trig point locations - sometimes the best views are from fields a few miles away! Thanks for sharing, looked just my sort of camp. 👍
@ysgolgerlanАй бұрын
It was around a 10 minute drive and then a mile and a half of walking to get there. I suppose the farmer could have found me had he come to tend to the cows, but I was left alone to enjoy the wonderful view. I have seen you camp in similar places on your channel, especially your micro adventure videos, and really enjoyed them. The old hips are giving me problems these days, so I cannot walk too far. Thanks for watching. 👍

@@WildBikeCamper Sorry but I meant to say it was the Snugpak Elite 4 and not the Snugpak Extreme 4. It is a synthetic bag and does not compress as well as a down bag would.

Fabulous landscapes. What are your thoughts about the liveability of the inner ? It may be the camera angle but at one point your head looked as if it was really close to the mesh. I was wondering how roomy it is in practice for taller hikers. Many thanks. All the best.
@ysgolgerlan4 ай бұрын
There is not that much room in the inner, you can sit up in the middle but because of the pyramid shape the sides slope downwards if you know what I mean. As for lying down I should think there is room for someone who is around the 6' 2-3in. The Tarpstar 1 is what it is I'm afraid. I plan on using it next time without the inner and that gives plenty of room inside. Thanks for watching. 👍

That looked like a great spot, but sorry to see you had so many midges! I've used a similar tarp setup in the past and got a Sea to Summit (Nano?) Mosquito Pyramid Net to try and keep the bugs out. I always found it quite awkward to set up well and it often ended up in a tangled mess though. Perhaps I just needed to practice more. Weighs less than 100g and packs down to nothing though so it seemed like a good idea.
