Helpful video. One tip is to cut open a couple of large binliners to place under the ground sheet. They weigh nowt and take no space up in rucksack.Saves time scraping mud off from under the groundsheet the next morning.
@@MiddysGoWild Keep at it.Your channel could do well.Another tip,obvious one,take the lightest pair of flip flops to wear in case you need to leave tent for a slash gordon in the night.
Cheers for that, and another good tip, I appreciate that, my latest video and first solo camp is doing okay too, so I’m going try my best, thanks again.
Wow, what a stoke of luck. its 0630 and I am packing for my first overnighter and watching this video. I bought a new gas canister yesterday, but I like you, bought a clip on one by mistake. I did not know that there was a clip on one. I will change it first thing today. Immagine if I got to my wild camp tonight, only to find that I had the wrong gas. Thanks.
That is a stroke of luck, of all the videos I’ve watched over the months I’ve never come across different gas canisters in any of them, that’s why I thought I’d mention it, so glad this has helped someone else out, thanks for watching and have a great camp.
Yeah I didn’t know either, rookie mistake, this was the canister I bought, but I thought the was all standard, but these are for different stoves. I learned something new 😂 ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-w7Ttgs6ByKo.htmlsi=KervFxhSouSmuZTE
@@MiddysGoWild Hi, not too bad. I got the train to Eastbourn, and slept out under the stars at the top of the cliff at Beachy Head. I'd planned a two nighter, but left my phone charger in the Pub. It was fairly windy, and I was a bit concered that I might loose my new tarp. No rain forcast so i just slept on my airbed and covered wifh my sleeping bag as a quilt. a very warm night. not much real sleep and I was awake at 04.00. made some coffee at 05.00. The pub did not open until 11.30 and the first bus was 110.40 so I walke to Birling Gap. had a swim in the sea at 08.30. I had planned to walk the 13 miles to Seaford. However my phone battery was flat, and my train ticket was on my phone, so I got the torist bus (24hour ticket) one way rout back around to Eastbourn and then again onto the Beachy Head pub. A very hot day, so a couple of beers while I recharged the phone. It's now 13.00 and too late in the day for a long hike so ended up getting the train home. M y next plan is to get the train to Seaford and hike the severn Sisters back to Eastbourn. Thanks for asking.
My tip, fwiw, would be to either write down or remember every last thing you take out with you and if you don't use it, see if you are OK without it next tune. Less is more, imo
Great video, I'm a newbie myself, quickly learning how expensive this hobby could be 😅 thank you for narrowing the things I need. Going out for an "almost wild" camping grounds and let's see if I come out alive 😂
@@Lykos-01 thanks for the comment, it took me a good few months to build up my gear before I headed out, I was like a big kid though itching to get out, my first wild camp was pretty scary if your not use to it the wind and rain just battered the tent all night, hope your first one is a bit calmer than mine 😂
I have a similar camping stove kit. Mine came with the gas stand though. The foldable cutlery that came with it is awful. Not that I can really complain as everything else with it is perfect. I just use a set from Miniso
I was advertised with a stand on Amazon, but it didn’t show up, this was another gift so maybe they chose me a similar one, but they one I have seems to be good enough for now, not had any issues, thanks for watching.
Fancy making me buy one of those Nepal backpacks - I will have to report you to my Mrs for my own safety 😂😂 . Great video you got yourself a new subscriber 👍
@@sparker68 I have that, found a little hike in Yorkshire dales that wasn’t on all trails, it’s a good app. Think it was a member of staff from Blacks that recommended it 👍
Nice budget set up sir 👍 Just goes to show you don't have to spend the earth to be able to camp comfortably. Fingers crossed you're well enough soon to be able to enjoy using it.
Think all newbies buy gear get started but soon realise take what you need as that 85l pack full going to be heavy soon you realise half weight is easier but great set up to get going see if hobby you want pursue then upgrade as stuff wears out,decent mat a must you need spend well over 150 Mark to 200 for thermarest or nemo etc but worth it
@@davidhudson7590 thanks for your comment David, that’s my plan to upgrade the more I get out, I don’t usually take all the gear out, but I’m still to weigh the pack the next time I do go out, I’ve probably been carrying over 15kg 😂
I’ve just had a Quick Look at your channel, I’ve dropped you a sub pal so I can check out the videos, just seen a woods you’ve walked through, I’m thinking of doing the same thing but I think I’d shat me pants 😂
@@MiddysGoWild lol not needed but thank you very much. It certainly is a very ancient and unique woodland and I do plenty of solo camping in different woodlands but if I’m being totally honest, I don’t know if I could/should camp in that one overnight lol. Thanks again
Love this vid mate. When it comes to the gas bottles get yourself one of the really small ones and you can get an attachment to fill it from the larger one. Saves on bulk annnnnnd money.
Great video, love the dogs 🐕, i like your style, hope your back heals very soon , very best wishes to you , looking forward to next one , love from rob in south Wales.
nice video :) . When i started wild camping I used cheap gear and to be honest it was all perfectly fine. I graduallly upgraded my kit starting with a better backpack, then tent, cook gear , sleep system etc. Do i enjoy wild camping more than i did when i was using cheap gear? not at all, its certainly alot easier, lighter, more comfortable and faster now but the end result is still the same. Videos like this are essential because when i started i only really had youtube for help and initially it looked extremely expensive to get started. Its really not! and the benifits, especially to mental health, cant be bought :D
Totally agree, and thanks for watching…I wasn’t going to make a video like this due to been so many, but with the accident I had and not been able to get out, so I thought why not, it’s nice to see seasoned campers watching for advice they have given me. I’ve just upgraded my jacket to start off with, due to the weather in this country. I’m heading out on my first solo wild camp tomorrow, bit nervous if I’m honest. Thanks for watching really appreciate you taking the time to comment too.
@MiddysGoWild I had been hiking for years bit never wild camped. So in that respect I was ok for clothing and jackets etc so luckily I didn't have that expense. I'd forgotten about the clothing side of things! Good point!
@pullmeifinger I didn’t really cover clothing, I have just done a video on a jacket I believe is brand new to the market. It was hiking that peaked my interest in wild camping too,I’ve only 3 camps under my belt so tomorrow will be my 4, so I’ve still a lot to learn.
@MiddysGoWild I've found your always learning. Have you seen Paul Messner's channel? And Haze Outdoors? Good UK wild camping channels with none of that Yank BS 🤣
Yeah, follow both of them and got some great tips! Did you see one of Paul’s latest videos he did a camp with a guy called Josh, I’ve become good friend with him and did my first camp with him where he takes his subscribers out with him.
What a brilliant informative video mate. Very helpful i love videos like this i really do love the diffrent Angles to from your POV. Lovely work.keep up the videos and keep showing your creative side 🎉
Great review on a full on wild camping gear on a budget👍, ive only solo wild camp on a woodland camp (with r Roxy, dog), not done a solo fell camp yet, great video👍
Thanks WBA, appreciate you checking the video out, I’m hoping to do my first solo soon, hope you got something from the gear guide, I’ll pop over to your channel us NewTubers have got to stick together 😂
@@graymichael09 thanks, I’ve not been doing it that long, so I’ve still very new, but I can’t get out at the moment so thought I’d share my gear, im itching to get out, hopefully I’ll be out there soon, thanks for the sub, I really do appreciate it, it does mean a lot.
I wanted to weight it, but my daughter was in Japan at the time and she had taken scales with her, so I never weighed it, I recently watched Black Crag do Cumbria way and his pack was 11kg which he said was a bit heavy for a multi day hikes, but I reckon by the time I’ve packed my water and the dogs food it’s probably over that, but I’ve always managed on single night camps, I really do need to weigh it next time I’m out.
Brilliant, thanks! I'm pretty new to wild camping. Caught the bug after wild camping around Scotland, was surprised how much I loved it. Might be going with children sometime and I thought this would be safer after experience with uneven ground and cooking last time. With long wild camp trips and lots of travelling around, some nights finding a good spot can be tricky.
@@MiddysGoWild I was a bit gung ho and went with zero planning. 😂 I totally over packed way and took way more than you showed. Thankfully I had my car with me for travelling around Scotland. Though tbf I was wild camping for 2 weeks straight so couldn't predict the weather and there was still snow on some of the mountains. Second time I took less but still had too much. I've upgraded to a lighter and more reliable tent since then which should help as I took extras in case of a leaky wet tent including a lightweight tarp which also made a great cooking area as my old tent didn't have a vestibule.
