I'm Vinny, and I'm the Man On The Outside. I absolutely love anything outdoors, including mountaineering, wild camping, exploring, stealth camping and stealth car camping, and finding unusual things to do outside!
The idea of this is to provide enough of a stopping force that somebody gives up and moves on. Thieves don't generally want to make noise so they won't generally kick a door in. But there's an even bigger and stronger version of this meant to protect school doors called the 'lockdown' - you can get it here: amzn.to/3zLWGmR
Great video,my mate took us novice climbers about 8 of us up this in the fog about 15 years ago,fair to say it was a challenge but we all got there in the end,looks like we done the same root just wish it was a clear day👍
This is a really useful video, thanks! Went up the Heather terrace on Monday, having missed the turning up onto the north ridge. Next time thanks to your video I think we'll find it. 👍
It only comes in one size as far as I know. I have 2 of them now in case I ever lose one ory first one breaks and they are both the same size. I wonder if it's been updated and now there are multiple sizes. I will check,
Thanks, glad to be back out. Plan to be doing them regularly now, last year was a bit of a nightmare with work but I have a few free evenings again now 👍
It's basically a plywood box held together with screws and PVA, with a drawer and table added in. Redcote and Amdro make them too. How can you copyright it? By the same logic nobody could build a mobile phone because Apple already invented it, or nobody could make a house out of bricks.
Thanks! I fitted it myself, I worked out how to do it. If you have Facebook, there's a group called "Ford Grand Tourneo Connect Owners". If you join that and search on there for "boot switch", I posted the instructions on how to do it. Took me about a couple of hour, pretty straightforward, and the parts are very cheap.
A lot of your subs are waiting for your episodes like we wait for new Grand Tour episodes! The speechless format is a little funny as it makes the video look a bit awkward and unnatural, but nevertheless still entertaining to watch. Thanx for yet another awesome video!!!
No problem, thanks for feedback! Yeah the speechless ones feel a bit weird, I have another channel with some of them on but figured it made more sense to put them on the main channel. But I'll maybe do one or two and see what the response is. I found it very hard not to speak for a couple of hours, lol
By popular request, a car camping ASMR no talking episode tonight! The captions provide commentary but you can turn them off if you want. Bit different but I've had so many asks for this that I wanted to give it a go. Thanks for watching and don't forget to hit the like button as usual!
Good to see you back, I have the same car I converted to a camper with a rock n roll bed, unfortunately my wife lost her battle with cancer before we could head off to Scotland, she only managed 2 weekends away in it, it’s not the same on my own, enjoy your adventures both of you 😊
Thanks, it's great to be back out. I'm so sorry to hear about your wife - please accept our condolences. I hope you are doing OK. At least you managed to get a couple of trips away and I hope you have some great memories of those.
It's interesting, Alex isn't bothered by it at all but I can't stop checking what's going on outside. I think it stems from my childhood when we had some troubles with my Dad's car being vandalised a few times, it's left me a light sleeper! You do get used to it though, we camped again last night and I didn't even look out of the window. I guess the more you do it the less bothered you become 😄
Great to see you both out again have missed you both keep doing the videos people that park next to you are sad don’t no why they do it vary strange but relax you have a lovely person next to you so take care Gary Liverpool
Thanks Gary, appreciate that! I always get uncomfortable when somebody parks that close, I don't know why, I just like my space too much 😂 Just a few lads having a chill out in their motors, so all good👍
You are not alone noticing this, I’ve always wondered why people will park right next to you or near when you are parked up on an empty area. I was parked in this huge forest car park the other day which was empty and a car decided to park right next to me, I wasn’t near an entrance or toilet or anything, it’s weird and don’t know why they do it.
@@ManontheOutside yeah I have obvs tweaked it and modified god knows how many times, the Ford is a bit longer than the berlingo. I always say I need a bigger camper but I manage more often than not maybe one day when Nova doesn’t go anymore. I have changed the table set up to a Laguna type table so much better the pan the island table leg in terms of of getting in and out as I use my tailgate more than side doors
That Laguna table looks great, just looked one up. Fantastic idea, a definite improvement on mine! I might consider picking one up, as you say the Fiamma leg can be a bit cramped.
Parking is a big talking point, Vinnie. My wife is working in a supermarket, and if I'm picking her up, l like to be in the same spot outside the shop and get angry if someone is parked in it. There is no logical explanation it's probably a territorial British thing. Audi and BMW and Merc drivers like to take up two spaces, usually . It's all crazy, Britain has gone mad, lol.
Lol, this made me laugh out loud 😂 When I park in work (there are something like 300 spaces and only about 10 percent ever used), I get annoyed when someone takes 'my' space at the back of the car park. Definitely a strange British thing, lol
If you think that's a good scramble you should do wild boar clough that's just off the wood head road near Glossop sailing center it has about 4 or 5 waterfalls to climb up

Looks Amazing! I would like to ask that in the "bed mode" the driver seat is in the normal position? so the car can be used and you don't have to make the bed every time you want to drive the car? Thanks a lot
Thanks! Normally it is, and I've driven it a few times with the bed made. But I now use a portable toilet on the right hand side at the back, and it pushes the whole boot jump further into the car (because the toilet will not fit in otherwise). So I have to roll the driver's seat forward a few clicks. It's still driveable but a little bit tight. But without the toilet in, I can drive without adjusting the driver seat.
I would say no (but am not 100% sure). I know from experience that Coleman cannisters have weird fittings that don't seem to work on non Coleman stoves. I don't buy them for that reason.
I don't think any stove works that well in the wind tbh, even my Jetboil blows out in strong winds and that's got a super strong flame. So I also use a windshield with it (you can see this in some of my other videos - I use a 10-plate foldable shield that sticks in the ground). Works pretty well for me.
How long do you think it took and how much in materials? Ibwas going to buy a Campal but at £2k it seems expensive. Also how do rate the van, im torn between this, Berlingo, Courier and Elgrand!
Built it over 3 weekends or so. Materials were about 500 in total (including cushions) but probably could have gone a bit cheaper (e.g. not using pocket hole screws and just using PVA), that kind of thing. Prob could have shaved £50-70 ish off. I looked at all of those vehicles - I liked the Tourneo as it had great MPG, more spacious than the Berlingo. I think the Elgrand was very heavy on fuel which was a factor. Only problem with the Tourneos is that they're quite hard to get hold of now.
@ManontheOutside Thanks for the info, looking to do a day van so just have half your setup so 2 can sit side by side, should be cheaper still. Loving the channel, getting lots of tip!
