Tarp available from AliExpress: a.aliexpress.com/_ExyN9Jt Inner tent the same as mine, different brand though: a.aliexpress.com/_EykxkMB

@nickbrown9757 Год назад

Unfortunately that tarp's coming up as being £52 (on its own) now. 😞

@TheWalkingKev Год назад

@@nickbrown9757 😳 the prices on AliExpress seem to variable and random discounts etc. It's available from a lot of different sellers, Flames Creed is another one. Worth seeing if any of them are better value and whether you can buy the tarp and bivy inner together.

@@nickbrown9757 check now - showing as £28 for me

@nickbrown9757 Год назад

@@ad4mpoole Thanks. Just checked, and it’s still showing as £52 !!! 😳

‘Spending the night in a small confined space!’ You’ve just described camping in a nutshell 🤣🤣🤣🤣

@TheWalkingKev Год назад

Most of the time, although these days you can get spacious tents that weigh next to nothing if you're prepared to spend big bucks. If you're not you sleep in an AliExpress bing bag like me!

@Kev_Russ Год назад

Kev, your a brave man. Fair play for getting oot into they conditions. 🥶

@TheWalkingKev Год назад

With that sleeping bag you can go pretty much anywhere to be fair!

@outdoorslifesurvivecraft5078 11 месяцев назад

I think it was a really good video all in all. People think I'm crazy because I like to go tarp camping in crappy weather. My favorite setup is the plow point. It's real easy to set up and with a 3mx3m tarp, you have lots of room.

@TheWalkingKev 11 месяцев назад

Thanks for the kind words. Tarp camping is good fun, keeps you a bit more connected to the outside world.

@pw6582 Год назад

Respect great review video gave yourself a tough old schedule going to work, nice setup but for me slightly better weather 👍👍👍

@TheWalkingKev Год назад

Thanks, just got to get out when I can! It was a nice camping spot, so one to use again when I've not got much time.

@Copernicus22 8 месяцев назад

It's a good tarp but it sags allot when it gets damp because of the nylon fabric. I recommend using alternate shelter fabrics. My sleeping bag got whet after the tarp sagged.

@TheWalkingKev 8 месяцев назад

Yes, that is an issue with Nylon. It did say a fair bit on this camp, combination of damp and ice weighing it down. You can always tension it again, but that is a pain.

@Copernicus22 8 месяцев назад

@@TheWalkingKev yeah great video BTW, always fun to see someone go out in the elements. don't blame you at all. I had it a long time before I got this video. I'm getting my yama mountain gear cirriform 2p tarp soon. It's relatively affordable if you know someone in the US to get it for you. It's my entry level lightweight 3+ season shelter.

@TheWalkingKev 8 месяцев назад

@@Copernicus22 nice. I might have someone in the US... I'll check it out, always good to see new gear that I've not heard of, although I really need to sell some stuff on at the moment!

Omg your nuts buddy lol. In a bivvy no way I can't in a Tent hahaha good job for the snow too cool your drink down, awesome vid buddy. 🤟🤟🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿

@TheWalkingKev Год назад

Cheers. It was a comfy camp really, lovely and cosy. That sleeping bag is enough to keep you warm without any shelter I reckon!

@Jqteadventures1659 Год назад

Fairplay you braved it out. Tarp would be great for summer I think not a bivvy fan to confined for me. thanks for the video

@TheWalkingKev Год назад

Thanks. I did think initially I was not going to enjoy tarps, but so far I am. It looked confined, but I was cosily reading and relaxing. Just a bit of faff to get in and out.

@justmyopiniontoday7548 Год назад

Bit of a wild one eh. 😉 Not very conservative in approach and who should care - you had a lovely adventure up close with the winter elements. Good fun!

@TheWalkingKev Год назад

I really enjoyed it... Although the cold rain was a bit grim for the pack down! Such a shame we didn't get more snow. Would have been perfect then.

@joinmeoutdoors Год назад

Sleeping bag definitely saved the day there 👍 Disappointed not to see you packing away and swearing in the morning 😆 James.

@TheWalkingKev Год назад

Trying to keep it PG! I was swearing a fair bit setting up the sleeping bag etc the night before. Kept catching my coat hood on the tarp when trying to get in. I think off camera I'm often losing my mind a little.

@typo4000 Год назад

I like the idea or that AricXi kit but .... summer only! A bit crazy, but entertaining. Many thanks.

@TheWalkingKev Год назад

Cheers! It was a surprisingly comfy and warm camp. But they're great for summer.

@campingcaledonia76 Год назад

You fair earned your Disaronno in this one Kev! Decent looking tarp that. Packing up is always the grim bit in poor weather eh? 🌧️ ❄️ 😆 Cheers. J

@TheWalkingKev Год назад

Cheers. Yeah, it's a nice tarp and feels good quality. Packing away in the rain is never good!

Being able to see outside - you described the great thing about hammock camping or cot and tarp 👍😊 Good bits of lot though and resilient! Check out the Exped Downmat 7 👍

@TheWalkingKev Год назад

The Exped mats are good, I'm just a bit too tight to get one!

@MoreThanJustaCleaner Год назад

@@TheWalkingKev haha yes they are pricey, but so far the best value mat I've had. They even come with a repair kit, which I have used with great success 👍😊
