Hi everyone,
I managed to get out into the woods for the Autumn Equinox, the day at this end of the year where we have the same hours of daylight as we do darkness, and the turning of a new season.
I've really got to enjoy sleeping under the tarp, as it doesn't restrict your connection to the landscape around you, unlike tent camping where you zip away the outside when you close up for the night.
I had another bash at my bushcraft wood-whittling skills on this trip making some tent pegs and feather sticks, along with cutting and battening firewood for the Bushbox stove (The tent pegs went well, still need work on the feather sticks!).
All in all it was a wonderfully relaxing outing, and I hope you enjoy watching this as much as I did whilst out amongst the trees.
Thanks for watching!
James

Got to love a tarp camp 👍🏻👍🏻

@SussexOutdoors 11 месяцев назад

Oh yes, I'm definitely preferring it over tent camping right now! 👌

@paulbazeley2190 10 месяцев назад

Superb video again James, that burger looked amazing as did breakfast, even minus the egg lol. As always, already looking forward to the next one. Stay safe out there buddy!❤

@SussexOutdoors 10 месяцев назад

And you too Paul... Will need to arrange a camp at some point dude! 🙏💚.

Excellent camp there James. Waking up in the morning, with bleary eyes, being able to look straight outside, is special. Sleeping under a tarp shelter is great! Thank you for sharing your video. Take care, Warren :)

@SussexOutdoors 11 месяцев назад

Cheers Warren! I know you have to deal with the critters and bugs unlike when in a tent, but it's worth it for the view! I need to get some time free to sit down and work my way through all of your videos at some point, and we need to arrange another camp together at some point in the future! All the best! 👍🏻

@Linleys 11 месяцев назад

Hey James, indeed we must fix our next meetup. Hopefully this autumn sometime. I've bashed out quite a few videos this month, trying to clear a backlog of editing. Catch you soon, Cheers, Warren.@@SussexOutdoors

That’s a proper nice chilled evening and some good grub happy dayz 👌

@SussexOutdoors 11 месяцев назад

The burger was fantastic (homemade of course)... Will definitely go back to Stilton next time though... The Red Leicester was nice but it could have done with a bit more kick! 🤣

@kevandrewsoutdoors 11 месяцев назад

Mate that looked like a well chilled out camp We need to meet up again very soon for a camp 🏕

@SussexOutdoors 11 месяцев назад

It really was enjoyable just staring at the fire all night! Will definitely have to arrange something soon! 🙏 💚

Nice one James, I did my 1st Tarp camp 3 weeks ago with my dog🐕... It was a mild & non-damp night, watched the sun go down & then come back up again...!🌌🌄 Managed a couple of hours kip & also cooked a couple of burgers with some chilli cheese & red onion...😋 It was a nice experience but I still prefer the security, warmth & protection of a tent & must admit that I wasn't too keen on natures friends crawling around me, but at the same time I wasnt too bothered either...!😄 & fortunately no slugs...!🤣 Love a tin of Spam when camping, cold or cooked, bap or sandwich, chopped up into rice or pasta, the possibilities are endless...! All the best dude & look forward to ya next next adventure...✔️👊

@SussexOutdoors 11 месяцев назад

That you for sharing! Your little adventure sounded magical as well! (and thanks for the recipe ideas with Spam!) 🙏 💚

@Kev.B.4311 11 месяцев назад

@@SussexOutdoors Oohhh ya got me thinking of Spam recipes now...!🤣🤯 & in an Omelette would be Cushtie...!😋 Not forgetting the Spam fryup, egg, sliced & fried tinned spuds, beans, oh go on, I'll have a mushroom & tomato with that...!😄👍 Your next Vid could be "The Spam Challenge" ...!😂✔️💯👊

@SussexOutdoors 11 месяцев назад

@Kev.B.4311 I'm liking your thinking... I'd normally put bacon in an omelette... Spam instead... Now that's something to try! 👍🏻

@willclevett7560 11 месяцев назад

thought you were going a bit wrong sawing up easily snapable green wood for firewood, but there was method in the madness!

@SussexOutdoors 11 месяцев назад

See, there's always SOME method in my madness... Not a lot, but some! 🙏💚

@peterlea6590 11 месяцев назад

What do you put with fried spam? More spam, and as you know I like Red Paint with mine! Nice one James! Your grub made it for me. Not all of my spam goes on the hook when I'm out fishing! Talk to you soon.

@SussexOutdoors 11 месяцев назад

I used to like red paint with most things back in the day... Tastes do change though, so I'm mainly a brown sauce person these days when it comes to spam/bacon... There's always a time and place for ketchup though, hence there's a big bottle of it in the fridge! Speak soon! 🙏 💚

@robtherover 11 месяцев назад

That was a great camp. Really enjoyed it. I've yet to camp under a tarp. Maybe the time is approaching to try it. All the best.

@SussexOutdoors 11 месяцев назад

Thank you, it really was an awesome evening! I'd definitely recommend giving it a try... And it's quite affordable (unlike some tents!) 👍🏻

Hi James, very nice camp and set up I use the British army bivvy bag. What make are your trousers? Cheers Darren 👍

@SussexOutdoors 10 месяцев назад

Cheers Darren! I've got the British Army bivvy, but I really don't get on well with it (I move a lot in my sleep, so I get tangled up in it and wake up multiple times in the night!).. Will keep trying though! The trousers I'm wearing here are Decathlon cargo trousers: www.decathlon.co.uk/p/breathable-hard-wearing-cargo-trousers/_/R-p-144110?mc=8382776&c=khaki All the best, James 👍🏻

@darrenrobson5977 10 месяцев назад

Just picked a pair up from Decathlon up here on the Team valley and must admit they are cracking pair of trousers especially for the price I've got a pair of Montane terra trousers and these Decathlon trousers equally as good and they were less than half of the price 👍

Great camp James, loved the flame shots and am a fan of a dirty burger myself. How do you find that quilt, I have been eyeing it up myself for a while?I have only just started using meths in a morning but I so works. I enjoyed the video, thanks for sharing 👍.

@SussexOutdoors 11 месяцев назад

Hi Neal! The food and the flames were just the ticket! 🤣 I'll have to say, the Flames Creed quilt has got to be one of my best purchases, it's warm enough for 3 season use (used it in - 4°c and was perfectly fine all night), and because you're not zipped up in it, it's great for summer as well, as you can self regulate easily by sticking your foot/arms out without having to fight to find the zip! It's light enough weight wise to not smother you, while at the same time it doesn't seem to slip off/move in the night. I'm a bit of an active sleeper (side sleeper but can never decide which side!) and it's stayed on top of me with no cold edges by the morning (while in a bag, I'd wake up with the zip underneath me and the hood over my face! 🤣). If you do decide on getting one, Colin does them at outdoorgearessentials.co.uk for a decent price (they're in stock, I just checked!) all the best mate! 🙏💚
