Identify as a tortoise 🤣 I heard a story while on a course, a guy with lots of expensive gear set up his bivvy over a mouse hole, woke up terrified as it had eaten it's way through to escape, toilet paper wasn't enough to save him. So always check your not setting up camp on someone else's house.

@kristofferkoczko4806 Месяц назад

Great beginners guide! I would add: 1. Sleeping bag ratings are tested on dummies with a base layer on. 2. Eat before sleep 3. Check batteries in lamps ( recommend headlamps) 4. Tell someone you are in regular contact with what your plans are an when you plan to be back in case of emergency 5. Have a waterproof bag with spare clothes and essential gear Thanks for the video Alfie

@-The-fire-guy Месяц назад

While hiking the king's trail in northern Sweden, I set up camp along a river. The following morning, while enjoying my morning tea, I spotted a herd of reindeer on the other side of the river, so I stayed very still as not to disturb them. They stopped right across the river from my tent, and then one entered the water. Then another. Then they ALL STARTED RUNNING ACROSS THE RIVER TOWARDS MY TENT! I had set up camp right by a natural river crossing spot! Thankfully I was able to make enough of a ruckus to make them go around, a stomped tent would've put a rather large damper on my mood. I still wonder what would have happened if I had set my alarm for an hour later... Bit of a unique experience, but do keep animal trails in mind when setting up camp, lest you be awakened by a hoof on your sternum.

This lol I recently just set up on a game trail that was frequented by black bears. That was some night

@IronFreee Месяц назад

I often take a large and solid trash bag, especially for one day hikes. It can be used for sitting on something dry when it rained, as a liner inside your backpack to protect your stuff from long or torrential rain. It can even be used as some shelter if you cut it and use it as a tarp or cover. You can wear it by cutting holes for your head and harms. You could even carry water in it if you are lost in some hot, dry area...

I knew I stayed subscribed for a reason. Two years ago my wife and I went camping in an area neither of us were familiar with. The entire area was soft and muddy like marsh lands. We ended up scrapping the entire trip as my wife wasn’t wearing proper hiking shoes and ended up ruining her sneakers. Highly recommend camping in areas that have either been used for camping and recommended or in areas that you’re familiar with the terrain.

It is better to have and not need than to need and not have. I experienced hypothermia once on a motorcycle camping trip in Texas in the middle of summer. It was 90 F, temp dropped into the 60s as some rain blew through, Wet clothes, a nice breeze and a 30 degree drop in temperature soon had me shivering uncontrollably. It was a miserable few hours until I got dry enough and warm enough to stop shaking.

@danbev8542 Месяц назад

Good vid! I’ve seen lots of these mistakes. One note: when setting up your tent make SURE your ground cloth does NOT stick out! If the ground cloth sticks out from under the tent floor, rain falls on the ground cloth & migrates under your tent between the tent floor & ground cloth, creating a very cold puddle under you. Tuck in your ground cloth!

Love the Canadian lore reference "or run from the Wendigo"

@user-vg6pj2my2n Месяц назад

I am a Canadian camper and have no idea what a Wendigo is.

@hectic6981 Месяц назад

@user-vg6pj2my2n from The Canadian Encyclopedia. "A windigo (or wendigo) is a supernatural being belonging to the spiritual traditions of Algonquian-speaking First Nations in North America. Windigos are described as powerful monsters that have a desire to kill and eat their victims. In most legends, humans transform into windigos because of their greed or weakness. Various Indigenous traditions consider windigos dangerous because of their thirst for blood and their ability to infect otherwise healthy people or communities with evil. Windigo legends are essentially cautionary tales about isolation and selfishness, and the importance of community."

@raymondbyczko Месяц назад

I am in total agreement with all of Alfie's edicts! To paraphrase, "Thou shall neosporin any cut no matter how seemingly trivial it is", or "Bring though one's own torch for thy friends are somewhat forgetful or assume they will be `out of the woods` by nightfall". I can add one or two if I may. If you camp with others, bring your own stove too, for additional sources of hot water will make one feel useful (and you don't have to wait in line for the hot cocoa!)
