Solo Wild Camping in a Forest | Do You Prefer a Dry Camp or a Wet Camping Trip?
My first solo wild camping trip in around 9 or 10 months! I believe my last solo wild camp was Meall Buidhe in around September. This solo camping trip occurred in the Devilla Forest, which is a cracking woodland that is rich in spots, hidden camping spots, and annoying birds. There was no one else around, I passed not a single individual, and I arrived at my wild camp spot early in the afternoon before the alleged rain appeared. I set up my tent and tarp, fought off the flies, had a little fire with food, sat and listened to music and nature, and then took my tarp down as there was no rain event in the end! As I delved into it in my video, what do you people prefer? Do you prefer a dry camp where it's a stroll and you can sit down and enjoy with ease, or a nasty, wet and rainy camping trip, where you have to stay active and fight the elements? Sadly my anxiety kicked in and I ended up packing up quite late and heading home. Maybe wild camping in the woods wasn't the best environment, as it was a bit eerie and I could easily have got lot. Very disappointed in myself and it's best I am with others for the time being.
Wild camping in Scotland? It's brilliant... but the weather pure at it.

You can just about see me start losing the plot, but genuine question guys: what type of weather do you prefer camping out in and why? Would appreciate the feedback, thanks x

@chrisstuart5080 3 года назад

I prefer the colder months of the year. Call me crazy! I love being out in the elements, nothing beats hearing the downpour of rain outside whilst your all snuggled up in the tent or hammock. Devilla forest is a 10 min drive from me and yet I've still not camped here! Great wee vid as always. As someone who also struggles with mental health, getting out in nature definitely helps! 1 day at a time Monty. ATB, Chris 🏕️😁

Colder but clear patches of sky now n then is nice for the stars.

@scotsman7843 3 года назад

Same here prefer it a bit colder rain through the night but hate packing away wet gear and hate the drying process even more so I tend to avoid prolonged rain spells

@MontyOutdoors 3 года назад

@@chrisstuart5080 Chris, we can be crazy together. Winter camps are the best, a freezing camp is needed along with the therapeutic noises of the rain and snow. I'd recommend the Devilla Forest mate. Always modestly quiet when I'm there and plenty of spots. And thanks mate, hope it works wonders for you. All the best and take care.

To be honest, that's probably the same as me, however... I don't mind packing up in the rain as my camping cupboard has a heater in it and everything gets cleaned/dried out when I go home anyway. I love being wet. Like a dug cuttin' through a puddle. Hope you're well big man!

Rainy day and night time camping, The best part camping video is NOT when you build the tent or shelter, not when you make a coffee or cooking even when you carving something, it's not. The best part of camping video is when you relaxing, enjoy the view and nature sounds, and when night comes with campfire. Don't talk to much but share your life experience with viewers. Sometimes viewers will attached to you when you touch them with life experience that shared beside the night campfire. Try it friend, I support you from my 15th chemotherapy treatment. Greetings from Jakarta, Indonesia 🇮🇩

@MontyOutdoors 3 года назад

Hey man. Thanks for the reply and sorry for the delay. Appreciate the patience. Crippling anxiety! I completely get where you are coming from. For me it all depends on my mood. Sometimes my favourite part is setting up, sometimes it's making food, other times it's around the fire. Generally it is the relaxing part, but being constantly occupied stops my mind from wandering into sinister thoughts, so quite often I just love being busy. Camping is weird like that. I wish you well in future, mate. All the best with your chemotherapy. Monty.

What a beautiful pine forest. I can just smell it from here! Great idea to bring the tarp so you are covered in the rain. That's my kind of dinner right there, looked really good. On the east coast of the US, spring and fall are my fav times of the year to camp. Cooler nights and just a chill in the air during the day. Just got back from a brutally hot camping trip with no breeze and just sweated in my tent all night. Not fun. Nice Video Monty!

And I'm with you 100% with cooler nights - although I prefer a freezing one - as there is nothing worse than being trapped in a tent with heat building up.

Well done Monty for plucking up the courage to get back out there, it`s good to see you back out again.For me personally i find it very comforting and relaxing when hearing wind ,rain or snow while in the safety of a well pitched tent.I think that it`s a throwback to the hunter gatherer in us, the need to protect against the elements by providing a shelter of some sorts.The fact that your outdoors and away from amenities seems to amplify the effect....it`s wonderful feels to me.

@MontyOutdoors 3 года назад

Thanks Graeme, but I sadly ended up back home later due to a panic attack. I think once everything settled and became quiet, my mind wandered.

Great video and great view of all the trees. Loved it. I’m not a camper but I do enjoy videos with challenging weather. I have a question too. I’m worried about making noodles in my jet boil. Will it taint the water later if I just make a tea? What have you found? I’ve bought a separate pan, as tea is important to me lol! I’m catching up on your content. I loved this video. It was a great solo camp. Looked so peaceful. Take care xxxxx

@MontyOutdoors 3 года назад

I would just reboil the Jetboil after the noodles, wipe it down, and then make tea. I've made coffee after eating out of a Jetboil and giving it a good clean with no problems. Same would be with any other pot! But I seldomly drink coffee and I don't drink tea lol. I'd probably buy a separate little pot if I were you. My mate bought a mini kettle for camping trips!

@cameron9261 3 года назад

I've always wanted to camp in the forest, but always feel sketchy setting up a fire though. Any tips? I find it difficult to know what sort of ground to pick to camp on too, especially in the hills where it gets marshy and boggy, if you have any advice? Brilliant video as always.

@MontyOutdoors 3 года назад

Sometimes a good camping spot already has a designated firepit that you can use, but best thing to do is invest in a portable firepit. And mate, I've camped on it all. The best forestry areas to camp in my experience are Devilla Forest, Galloway Forest Park, and The Trossachs. Hope this helps and apologise for the delay in response. RU-vid sometimes doesn't process comments till months after!

Hi Monty this looks a great spot to pitch up in the woods and I loved the set up with the tarp extension, so far most of my camps have been solo so rain on the tent is a calming sound and ok if alone but if I camped with a few folk I think I would prefer it dry and clear for the night just to be sociable under the stars with a drink of course, Enjoyed the video, Keep safe, Les.

Hi mate, how are you? All well I hope. It's a brilliant spot and I'm starting to get into the woodland camping, what's your preferred environment? Yeah rainfall settles me. On two occasions I packed up and went as it was to eerie. And group camps are great in the rain... just get more tarps!

Great video Monty, enjoyed the more in-depth setup shots and the drone shots were great too. I do love a forrest camp, though it can get pretty noisy at night with all the animals moving about. I'm not to fussed about the weather in the video, as someone else mentioned variety is the most interesting thing. Btw what type of bike did you go for? I have a mountain bike, which I mainly use bombing about the local fields and forrest but will be taking it to Snowdonia at the end of the month. Enjoy the big smoke!

Hi Monty, I've walked my dog in Devilla many times but never camped I've had lots of ticks in there did you get any?.

How do, Colin? Hope you are well mate. I don't believe ticks exist hahaha. Will I do, but I've never, ever, came across a tick in my life and I don't think anyone I went camping with before had any issues with ticks there.
