I DITCHED the Plan to Salvage this Camp! Wild Camping in the Mourne Mountains Nothern Ireland 

@@2DogsAndAMan 🤣 I love your motto, both catchy and lethal if taken seriously 😄

Thank you Joe, the best is still to come. I've no doubt about that, there are some truly stunning places that we haven't even seen yet. We'll get there 👍

Yeah I wouldn't fancy a tumble down those rocks, it wouldn't be pretty

I reckon I chose wisely, those mountains certainly get the heart going 😄

I'm carrying my early winter gear on every camp 😄

Thanks a mill, it wasn't too bad after. I got away with it 😄

Everything has gone a bit nuts. Flash floods and heat waves in different parts of the world. We may just take it as it comes I suppose but I really hope to get out a lot over the winter. Rain hail or snow 😄 take her handy 👍

Definitely go for it 👍

Thanks a mill 👍

I was happy to do it, no harm in picking up a few bits here and there 👍

Have yet to get to the Mournes but looking forward to it, they're on my growing bucket list!

They are fantastic, they're definitely not for the faint hearted though 😄

It amazes me how the wall just keeps going, deifying gravity in some really steep places

They definitely get the heart going, Binnian was no joke that first time I was there. It's beautiful up there, I have an idea of where I'll go the next time already 😉

@@RamblingOn there's lots to do up there, very compact mountain range

Glad you enjoyed it, thanks for watching 🍀

@@RamblingOn doing a big litter pick in the morning at Fofanny dam, spot you collected water. Very popular spot for the sub humans to camp and leave a mess at there arse, it’s a disgrace.

@@BestlifeWildCampingOutdoors I saw some fire scars on my way past. Fair play for doing it 💪

No worries 👍

Ah that's a pity, hopefully the recovery is quick. I found ice baths help but they take some getting used to

The little lanshan is a great tent in the wind, I've found myself xhosing it over the xmid once or twice too. The trousers are helikon tex pilgrim I think is the model 👌 they're a tad heavy for summer hiking but very well made

The work that went into that wall must have been immense

Thanks a mill 🍀

I'm very close to carrying a full winter setup 😄 we're all good, I do get worried about a sudden slip while I'm out. My back feels really good now, working on it every day. I hope all is well with you and the family, I do see your posts pop up on instagram 🍀

Glad you enjoyed it, thanks for watching 🍀

Glad you enjoyed it, thanks for watching 🍀

Even the dog would get sick of listening to me 😄

@@RamblingOn I doubt it, my dog named Hope listens better in the mornings but tends to fall asleep in the tent after 2 mins of rambling.

It served me well on the night but I can imagine it is a windy little spot. The lanshan 1's are brilliant in the wind. I reckon it relays on the pegs a lot more than the Durston would. The Durston is good in the wind, I haven't had any issues yet but I always make sure to stake out all the guylines and I use decent pegs too just to be sure. I do have some camping videos of it in some strong wind. There are some downsides compared to the lanshan, the main one being it's got a pretty big footprint. I'd say it's as big as a 2 man tent but then you have some really nice headroom inside and the two vestibules. Beautiful looking tent too. I doubt you'll be disappointed with it if you do decide to try one

@@RamblingOn Thanks. I was a bit worried about the footprint, as I already find the Lanshan a bit difficult to get squeezed into more sheltered spots.

I should definitely head up that way check out the Cooley mountains 👍

It was a lovely little spot to be fair, definitely happy that I decided to drop down. Hopefully your Bearnagh camp goes well and the weather is good to you 🤞🍀

@@RamblingOn fingers crossed indeed Jason, i hope the weather changes soon because i wouldn’t fancy doing Slieve Bearnagh this week 🌧️ 💨 ☁️

@PINACI I always have ear plugs with me but sometimes they're just not enough. I'd have to have proper noise cancelling ear defenders. They'd probably weigh more than the tent 😅

@alanrobertson5497 thank you Alan 🙌 That is massively appreciated, I'm getting packed at the moment for the next camp. I hope all is well with you 🍀

All is well, will have a week off work soon, so if I can get the arse in gear, I hope to be in Wicklow for a hike and if lucky a camp. Will be my second venture, I usually find it challenging to get out, have been trying to motivate myself and look forward to it.

Also my back and left leg were bothering me for the last 5 weeks, sciatica pain, not pleasant. Feel ok now.

@alanrobertson5497 Hopefully, the weather goes easy on you for your camp. Every single time it comes time for me to go for a camp I struggle to get myself out. Everytime, even if I've been looking forward to it all week. When the time comes it can be very hard to get going, so you are not alone. Sciatica is horrendous, I hope it doesn't give you any more grief. I'm doing yoga and strength training every day to try keep myself going. It's good that you have it back to normal now, hopefully it stays that way. DDP Yoga is great for back pain but you'd have to do it consistently for a good few weeks to start seeing the difference

Ah class, the best of luck with your hikes. Fair play 💪🍀

It's well worth a spin if you get a chance. It's beautiful

Thank you kindly

Oh yeah, they must have been fair hardy. Fair play to them

The pillow that I've been using for the last few months is the flextail zero pillow. It's a really good size, the pad strap is really strong and holds well. I think it's a very good pillow, better than the trekology aluft that I also have. I recently bought the Soto windmaster stove, it is definitely the best stove that I have tried. The burner is massive, the simmer control is spot on and the pot support is huge. It also has a built in regulator which is fantastic. I bought the triflex attachment too just for a lighter setup when I want that option. I'll be using that as my main stove I reckon especially in the winter. Pair that with a pot that has a heat exchange built in and you're golden. The pot's I use are fire maple pots but any pot will do the job. The heat exchange just improves the over all efficiency. Here's a few links to make it handy.. Soto: amzn.to/4fcUx3S 1 litre pot: amzn.to/4cMqiih 600ml pot (I use this more often now, it will work well with the triflex but sits high with the standard support on the soto) amzn.to/3LBD33e Pillow: amzn.to/3LuzL23

@@RamblingOn Thanks alot Jason. I just had a look at the Fextail and I am a site sleeper. Im not keen on the tapered design for that however, the Trekology Aluft pillow with its height seems to suit me better, if you want to send me a link you get commission for it?

@@cahillp3 I was a bit worried about it myself, Im a side/belly sleeper 😄 I noticed that there's a a few versions of the aluft now... The pro version amzn.to/4cPwPJ4 The ultra amzn.to/3Lz6Nhp and the one that I have which is the plus amzn.to/3SgXoyQ I might have to try the Pro or the ultra myself 🤫😄 If you end up going for one, thank you for offering to make a purchase through my links, it does help me out 👍

@@RamblingOn Fantastic stuff. ill go for the Ultra version. I like a big pillow and I don't mind the extra weight. Ill also try and 600 ml pot. Looks ace.

@cahillp3 that's class let me know how you get on with them 👍

This was a Lanshan 1 Pro

That's a pity, hopefully the recovery is quick. I found ice baths help but they take some getting use to

🙄 Keep your racism to yourself. No need for that rubbish on here
