Campsite Camping Again! 

Thank you for your kind message. That sounds like a beautiful part of the world.

Hi Jen. Thats lovely to hear I hope you make many happy memories camping with your 10 month old Spoodle. Ive never heard of that breed so just checked it out on a Google search and Oh wow....adorable. I sometimes look back on the videos Ive made with Buster with a smile with the adventures we had. We got to see some beautiful parts of the country through camping and he in part lives on through those videos. So it's well worth it even if the weather here in the UK is often far from ideal. It gives me something to talk about when I get home I guess haha. I hope your camping doesn't cause you too much pain though. I must add. Thank you for your kind comments and it amazes me that people are watching my videos and especially on the other side of the world. So thank you for that. It made me smile. Have a wonderful day and some great adventures too. Paul and Bella

@@ItsaCampingThing I have a 2 second easy and awning on it's way so we shall see how I go! I think in the UK Spoodles might be called Cockapoos, but in Australia we differentiate between the English and American cocker spaniel mix, cockapoo American cocker spaniel X, spoodle English cocker spaniel X. He is small enough that I can pick him up, although I can't carry him very long, it is enough for managing him if I do need to swoop him up for whatever reason. My ultimate goal, arms willing, is to get back onto a motorcycle and camp around Australia, visiting all our "big" attractions. We have over 200 "big" things, like the Big Pinapple, the Big Banana. Whether it is on motorcycle or car, I want to solo travel with Bailey, camping along the way. Wikipedia has a list of out "big" things if you want to check out the list! But for now I will start with in the back yard and on a friend's farm, and build up to coping with a trip, both physically AND mentally. Sorry for the essay! Thanks again for your videos and your sharing your own mental health struggles.

Aww Thank you

I was surprised at how well she was mate.

Your welcome. I hope you find it as beneficial as I have done. That extra space really makes a difference.

Honestly I would check with the campsite first by giving them a quick phone call or send them an email. At least that way you'll know for sure and their rules may differ from another campsite down the road for example. Explain that you want to join the two together for a bedroom space and standing up space and Im sure you'll be fine. But I cannot say for sure. Thats what I would do. The sites here would likely count that as two tents and incase of a fire risk would mean you couldn't join them together. Until you mentioned the Base Seconds I had no idea of it and Googled it. Im sorry I cannot give you a definitive answer.

Hi jen. Yes the Quechua 3p easy is retailing here in the UK at the moment for £249.99 on there on-line store

Thank you Wolfgang. It was great to be out and about again.

I absolutely share that feeling. I had an amazing week on a campsite at the netherlands. These times you can't pay with money

@@wolfgangholi I'm some parts it's the same here. We seem to be ever moving towards a cashless society where you are encouraged to pay by an app. Trouble is often you cannot connect to the Internet to get the app to work

@@ItsaCampingThing hm... i think i was wrong with my translation. however this was not what i ment

Ooooooh that's a really good question Paul. Well it depends on what sort of camping I am doing. Right now if I was campsite camping alone then it would be the Quechua 2 Seconds Easy with the Fresh Awning without a doubt. Super quick and easy to set up. If I'm going away for a night on my own then the tent on its own is fine. But for a longer duration or with my dog. Then the awning added on to it makes sense and means I don't need to buy another tent for lots more money. Plus with the awning I can put a chair in the awning and listen to the rain fall. Which is far more comfortable than laying down for hour after hour. The fresh and black feature is brilliant. But obviously it's too heavy and cumbersome for a wild camp. Plus would stick out like a sore thumb in a field on a wild camp. Now if I was just Wild Camping then it would be the Naturehike Cloud Peak 2. It's three poles that cross over means it's great in strong winds. Room in there for two and two brilliant vestibules. Reasonable weight and packsize. If I was a campsite with either one or two other people then it would be the Quechua Air Seconds 4.1. Personally I think four people in there is a tight fit. But three or less could live in there for a few days comfortably. But that fresh and black feature is incredible. Finally if I was going on a hybrid trip where I was wild camping and campsite camping but could only use one tent. Then it would be the Naturehike Opalus 3. Plenty of room for a multi-day trip. Green to blend in with the environment on a wild camp and that vestibule is heaven. The only downside is that it's quite a large tunnel tent so will sag if you don't get the guidelines millimeter perfect. Sadly I don't have a favourite tent. I appreciate them all for what they offer. The only tents I've not been fond of are the Vango Banshee's and the Oex Phoxx 1v2. Probably because I'm getting too old and knackered to fold myself up to get in and out of those tents. I hope that answers your question.

Thanks for that Paul very detailed indeed I have the Banshee 300, outwell cloud 3 thinking of getting the Halfords air 4 man, as just me and my dog buck, if possible as he's so lively for 12, keep the vids coming I will be looking nice channel thanks again Paul W
