Wildcamping with my Brompton - Tarp and Bivvy - Bushcraft and Bikepacking - Stove Overview 

Thanks for watching and commenting Andrew, glad you enjoyed it 👍

Cheers Ryan, glad you enjoyed it. I've got a few more Bikepacking trips planned for the year, it's always good to mix things up a bit 👍

Good idea. Have also been thinking of doing some content on dunking biscuits! 👍

Thank you for the kind comments, glad you're enjoying the videos 👍

Thanks Herb, glad you enjoyed it 👍

Cheers Dave, thanks as always for watching and commenting 👍

Yep, always great service 👍

Hi Andy, glad you enjoyed the video and many thanks for subscribing 👍

Cheers Craig, glad you enjoyed the video. I'm really impressed with the pocket stove, going to be using that alot methinks! The Brompton bike is awesome, although it's very much outside of it's comfort zone in the woods as it's a city bike really (they're quite a common site in London!). But they're built tough and plenty of folk take them out touring. It's a nice way of broadening the horizons and being a bit more adventurous. Thanks Craig as always for checking out the video 👍

Thanks Ken, funnily enough, I do own a 3x3 tarp and use that when I know the weather is going to be terrible. Sometimes I just prefer to carry a small tarp. The bivvy bag ensures my kit stays dry in the event of any rain blowing in under the tarp. Thanks as always for watching and commenting 👍

Cheers John, glad you enjoyed it. I can thoroughly recommend the pocket stove, works a treat with Des' burner. The honey stove, as much as it can be a pain to assemble (particularly with the hive expansion), it's so much lighter than the alternatives and always burns really well. And as you say, easy clean up in the morning too! 👍

Ha ha, well we've all got our vices and you can never have too many Brommies 👍

Cheers Lee, apologies for the long vid and waffle! I've just ordered another bivvy bag!

Ha ha yeah they don't understand do they! Glad it's not just me who is a stove-aholic! 👍

Cheers Tim, glad you enjoyed it 👍

@@barneysbimbleshow we wish all the brompties can do the same as you 😊that will be beautiful, cheers .

Thanks @brompmed they're great bikes aren't they. I just wish you could get off road tyres for them! 👍

Hi, glad you're enjoying the videos. It's a great tarp, really well made and I'm sure you won't regret the purchase. Enjoy 👍

Thanks, glad you enjoyed it. Happy Spring 👍

Cheers Dave, that front bag is quite a nice size. I try to keep the kit fairly basic when using the Brommy, but I'm still trying to figure out what system works best for me. I'm tempted to get a slightly larger saddle bag. I've also seen some folk put a rucksack on the rear rack. Plenty of options! As for the bivi, the army issue bivi's are pretty cheap so I've just ordered another genuine British army bivi and am going to re-purpose the reproduction one. Might make a pack liner out of it and some pouches? Many thanks as always 👍

Hi Loy, Thanks as always for watching, glad you enjoyed the video. I like a bit of variety when camping, sometimes I take the old school wool and canvas kit. Other times it's good to go with more modern kit. Keeping things simple is usually my objective though. I always try to celebrate UK crafts, but I do think there are some really good USA/CAN makers. I'd love to have a Tentsmiths tarp in my collection and folks like the Hidden Woodsman make great looking rucksacks. US army surplus kit always looks good too, although it's quite hard to get over here. My favourite camping item to come out of the states though has to be the folding Firebox. They're probably one of the best multi fuel stoves on the market. 👍

Cheers Mark, glad you enjoyed it. Brompton bikes have been around for a while now, but you only really see them in the cities. Designed and made in London though and are built tough. I film my videos at various woodlands close to where I live in north Kent, with some occasional trips down to the west country. Some of the spots are located in a woodland that I'm permitted to use and others are close to the National trails that run through Kent. Apologies if that sounds a bit vague, but I try to keep my precise locations fairly private. Ultimately, I do my research on Google maps and OS maps, get out for a walk and recce and search for spots that are well off the beaten track. 👍

Yeah that and the pocket stove. It's a real shame that you can't get them anymore.

Ha ha cheers Tim, glad you enjoyed it. I loved those chipolatas, they were the korkers variety. Cook up really nicely, gonna have to get some more! I've just ordered another bivi, got a genuine issue one this time though so it should perform better than the reproduction version that I mistakenly/drunkenly bought. In my experience this far the issue bivi's have been excellent in all conditions. Thanks Tim as always for watching and commenting, will have to catch up again soon 👍

@@barneysbimbles Many places sell a good solid bit of kit, don’t they. Haha, once bitten twice shy now, eh? I’ve made some silly work related purchases whilst tipsy. Not good 😁 Definitely catch up soon my friend 😉👍🏼 Soon be the weekend, so enjoy 👋🏼😉

Cheers Joel, I like the look of the Alpkit bivi's and the Hunka always gets good reviews. To be fair, a lot of Alpkit stuff is pre good. I'm loving the Rig tarp at the moment. But tempting though that is, I've just ordered another surplus bivi off eBay!! 👍

Thanks Ty, yeah really impressed with the stove, nice bit of kit. All the best 👍

Glad I'm not the only stove addict! I've never had an issue with slugs, but do worry about them, probably more so than other woodland wildlife. I did have a beetle crawl over my forehead last night though, but they're not going to do any harm 👍

@@barneysbimbles I just bought the alpkit windshield as I've been looking for a smaller one for my alcohol stove (s). I like to cook proper food when camping so take a trangia and another stove. Couple of pots and a kettle. Slugs, ticks and earwigs. Bleurgh.

Cheers Dean, yeah need to be careful with those beers and the trigger finger! At least it wasn't an expensive Rab bivi or something! 👍

Thanks very much, glad you enjoyed it and thanks again for the donation, very generous of you. Message received over on Insta, I'll get a sticker sent out in tomorrows post. I must admit that it was touch and go at one point with the wind as it was picking up quite a bit through the night. I put a bit of faith in the forecast and the trees around me as I knew they were all in good shape. In that weather though, I wouldn't even dream of camping in some of the other woodlands that I frequent, too much Ash with dieback! 👍

Hi David, glad you enjoyed the video and many thanks for subscribing. That Swiss Army Knife was the Victorinox Forester. It's fairly new to me, but I'm really enjoying it 👍

@@barneysbimbles Thank you for replying. I'll have a look for one on Amazon. I need a new one.

Hi Antony. Unfortunately I'm not much of a coffee drinker. That's a tea infuser for loose leaf tea 👍

Thanks where from ? Great videos .they are inspiring me to get out more .my only fear dogs the woods near me full of dog walkers with dogs off leads

Thanks, glad you're enjoying the videos. The tea infuser comes from Amazon, just do a search for them and you'll soon find it. As for camping spots, I always try to find a spot that is well off the beaten track, normally does the trick and keeps people/dogs away 👍
