breeches and you know a lot of farmers do use these as belts and here i am me and my squadron of highly trained sheep i've got a bit heavy on coloring yeah i've gone a bit mad on coloring because uh i just wanted to there's been a few farmers stealing my sheep so i just wanted to the red ones are mine stay away from them that's it mate once you become a sheep whisperer come on as i have been i am you can get them to do pretty much anything come on come on that's it oh they're coming with me like come on let's go all right it's people watching me they must think i've lost my lost me nogging been locked down too long turn this off right let's let's fast track it up there there we are that regal regal dude thinks he's lying king i thought i got back into shape during lockdown but i'll tell you what mate the fells just hit different you can't train for this mate you can't just i don't know who's walking down your stairs at home i live in a veil i live in a veil which is just flat as a witch's tit so i've got there's no there's none of this gear anyway so it's a rude awakening but it feels good i can feel the i can feel the burn it back in my legs my boots are holding up wonderfully my lowers which i've been putting the miles in on them but not to this elevation feels amazing absolutely amazing and it's peaceful as well and i know in the news and that everyone was like oh no the latest street it's going to be like butlings it's this thing the latest strict is massive man there's plenty of it to go around so don't worry about it share it mate look at it it's massive you can't that don't look like glass and breeze it you can always find a remote spot in lakes this is what you call a quick look at them bits man that is unruly innit there's no need for it sorry about it so this is what you call it's a classic example of a false summit i knew it was a false summit though so i didn't get me you didn't shatter my dreams this is what you might think is a summit and then oh hello mate there's more roger more crack on a bit of a control alt delete down there beautiful nonetheless but you're not getting emailed your password if you fall off that one are you here gum other no credits left yeah squad have you got a good seat there let's have a look i don't want to looks like you've got a good little viewpoint and i want to have a little look at what you're looking at excuse out at road hey up lads share it that's it don't knock me off there look at that whoo having that gone then we'll do one of these walks then we'll do one of these for camera only one that can tired ignore it ignore it turn it round you just keep going like nothing's happened i can't even doing it is a joke's becoming like where's where does it end what's the joke here what's the joke sorry if i'm a bit sort of sycophantic and stuff but a genuine like a lot of you haven't been out for months man and all this space and this freedom it's empowering and emotional to look even worse when they got sweat on them or do i look just like a pat like i'm in patagonia one of them old school i like an old school climber with them just do don't give a shit anymore because there's more important things than getting your haircut turns out that was another false summit which was bantz and then can you see oh man the sun's coming out oh no are you having it cat for a ken ken bala so you can see see windermere you can even see the irish sea over in the distance this workout where sun's gonna go down and where she's gonna come up she's gonna come up over yonder i know that from past x bit i know what she's doing anyway she's gonna go down over there this looks like the spot for me right there's a couple of things with the uh outro let's have a look at it let's have a look first of all let me tell you this being able to pack it into three separate bits and move it around your pack is pretty cool right then you can barn it you can barn it there isn't much there's not much in the way you like uh flat ground is that all right be all right there won't i dory the side so i can look over there a lot of people were saying i i wouldn't want that tent because you know how would you pitch it in the rain when you've got a pitch to be in at first i did mention on the video that there are multiple ways to set it up it's a semi-free standing tent and you can set it up out of first which i'm going to do now clip it onto your bag otherwise just ask the la vista right where's the irish i can't i don't know me i asked from me elbow with it because there's not many people with these tents yeah his wife's just a nightmare isn't it is it absolute nightmare hold on he's not right there you go look easy there you go oh come on tell you what see to summer i'll be getting see to summer else in a minute we're getting another blooming tent so there you go i'm going to tighten it all up a little bit more and and piss about with it but as you can see that's the outer pitched first see and and you could on a nice day when you know you're not going to get obliterated by insects you could just have this as a super lightweight option i'm seven four built like a freezer built like a fridge freezer and i'm gonna look at all that room and you could just chop this up quickly if you you know if you're out bike packing dual door it's got these if you are just using the tap it's got these velcro attachments so you can keep everything together in the right spot let's see how uh how annoying it is to get this up i've got a footprint for it as well but i might have left that at home like an e-japt left footprint or goose left me oh well George all well never mind so i'm in here right it's pissing it down with rain i'm sheltered i'm happy i've had a look out of this little event when you've blown this up as much or one of these you know you soon get fed up of it having this electric pump is a game changer flex tailgear now i'll be using a lot of stuff on this video so before you ask me what it is like everything is down below if you'd like to have a look but this is there you go look electric can you remember how to do it on everybody's lips i think it's this pluggy one isn't it a bit of a schnizzle something like come on there we go oh you can just chill out you can have you saw a little glass of chardonnay a little glass of pimm set your jacket off and it look there she goes real talk about 30 seconds to blow it up come here you finish it off with a few authentic bits look at that can you see that that's why i popped it when i slept in an uh in an abandoned tunnel and where it looks a bit gammy around there oh well it seems to be holding this is the first time i've used it in the field and it comes with loads of different adapters um so it doesn't really matter what sort of you don't have to have a thermarest it can be any old airbed rubber doll whatever you've got and it just makes it so much easier man and especially if you've been doing like multi-day hikes you've done a good 20 miles in a day you need all your gas don't you so perfect you get these guidelines which you can they're really easy just to hook in you can you can put them wherever you want depending on the direction of the wind i've just put stones over where i couldn't get deep enough because of the rocky ground inching ice look at that and uh i'll open all the doors up in a bit and i've put so i've put two guys at the back and one here with an extra stone over the top of it my thermarest cut down that's one of the best things man just getting a a z light and there's cutting the bottom four panels off it you can still use the rest of it the rest of it is a sleep pad but this makes the perfect sit pad and porch and whatever for me anyway speaking of the porch what we got water i'm on the sea to summit because i've bought loads i've got loads of these for me long distance treks that are coming up so i thought i best i best try some out see if i get on with it salmon and broccoli and i've got a custard apple crunch because why not i'm sorry northern monk if you're watching i just didn't have uh i ran out i don't have any northern munk beers so i've got hawks head brewery which is local nice session IPA to start with and i i won't drink i won't drink all this but it's a really nice um it's a really nice bottle of slap no added sulfur what you're doing adding sulfur in the first place i've got my cook cutting there so i can boil my water for my meals i've got that mean that's pretty much full i know where there's a little water source not too far away from here and i've got my water filter in case i need to go and get some moving into the tent so it's spacious it is spacious bug but you can see look that's me set up there all my stuff with my big my extra large x therm in there and you'd probably get another you probably squeeze another one in there it would be tight though so i'm saying this is like two at a push if you're comfy with each other but perfect for one man for a lot of space and for anyone who's not seen it before you can you use the bags the bags that the tent and flysheet come in they clip into the corners there's extra storage i've got my new pillow look i'm going with a a trecology just because it's so much bigger and the fact that it oh no houston we have a problem oh no she's going down oh no that's got to be that and it look at that it's all bubbling she's all bubbling right right well this is so the x-terms going down so i'm probably going to have a bit of a nightmare on that so what i'll do what i'll have to do is hopefully i can put this under my hip and whatever spare clothes i've got under my hip and and just have to rough it for tonight oh well i'll look through see if i can find the hole and i might have a bit of gaffer tape or summer kicking about we'll try and do a try and sort that out anyway i've got the sleeping bag is the rab ascent 900 because this time of year it can catch you out because look i mean it is beautiful but the weather can eat i mean the temperatures can drop considerably get well into the minuses and i've frost and snow at this time of year so i've gone for the rab ascent 900 trecology pillow looking forward to using that for the first time and what i like about it is it attaches to the air bed look at air bed going down mate medic and i don't know this tent yet i'm still finding out about it i do i like it so far i love the little features of it i'm getting to grips with setting it up and putting it away which we'll have a look at tomorrow morning but i am looking forward to when it gets dark and too cold and it's time to batten down the hatches and get in the tent that's what uh that's when you really get to know your tent when you spend a night in it hanging out in it so we'll see but for now the skies are beautiful so let's try i'm gonna try and find out where the hole is in this air bed see if we can do a find some way to fix it if not cold ass at night this has been the longest i've not camped out in years man it's been a roller coaster it's been tough at times but i've just channeled my energy into other things and just changed gear knowing that it's always here is it's not going anywhere is it and um in many ways it's been good because it's nice to re-appreciate everything and this this doesn't go out to everyone because not everyone's into this sort of stuff not some people you might be a professional gamer and you might be loving the fact that you're allowed to stay in doors and and do your thing and that's that's ace but for me i need this i need this for me mental well-being and i know just because we're starting to come out the arse end of lockdown it doesn't mean everything's all right and that everyone's all right because everyone's not all right people who suffer with mental illness it's exasperated and it's you know it's under a microscope for for everyone in their own little ways so still we still even more so we need to be compassionate as we come out of this because i mean people are left like wondering how you socialize do you want to socialize existential crisis left right and center um you know i've been reading some some things online about people who have or suffer from mental illness uh it could be anything schizophrenia uh eating disorders or whatever it is and being in lockdown without their coping mechanisms it becomes a nightmare and something really difficult to deal with and that is still going on so yeah definitely if that is you then i send you my love and then we can all be and we should all still be compassionate and take what we've learned you know if we've learned anything at all i'm just waffling i am just waffling not even had a sip yet not even had a sip yet mate but what i'm saying is it's just because it's lovely here and i'm loving it it doesn't mean i know people are suffering and i've got friends who have suffered and um luckily in this last lockdown i haven't been too bad so i've just been trying to do what i can for others and i've been trying to keep content original and trying to make videos and stuff like that but it's hard at times when you've got a full-time job as well but these are the rewards this is what it's all boiled down to for me this is what i've been waiting for in them in them times when i've been like oh man i need to get out i felt a bit claustrophobic this is what i've thought about just sat on the side of the mountain with a kind of stinky kind of IPA is it IPA yeah session IPA and listen peaceful mate really peaceful yeah so to everyone who's stuck with me through lockdown and carries on watching the videos and stuff i salute you and um absent friends cheers that's delicious actually shout out hawks head brewery very delicious oh man it's over much isn't it at times it's over much it's a hard man making these films sometimes because i do enjoy it i do enjoy the whole process but at times you feel like you have to have a sit here for a while and then i forget oh yeah you i've got a how are you doing mate and all that oh my god look at it look at it are you having that are you having that look that is that's the one isn't it look at that man it doesn't matter it doesn't matter because i can't can't get settings right if it looks all right it looks all right i can't it's too dazzling and i don't want to miss it it's glorious again it's glorious again so i've got sweaty band on yeah they laughed at me when i put this in my kit but now look who's laughing round top in in so far and then let's go one two she's out whoa whoa smells good and then you just turn it upside down and it goes back on oh man that is nice delicious hmm absent friends my view just uh you can have a little goose look it's beautiful it's absolutely stunning i'm sorry that i'm not showing you in it just now i know there's people who've just tuned into this who've not watched any of my vids and i like shut up mate i want a seat view you'll seat view in a minute when i get my drone up in that i just want to have a little chat to you it's been a while i know it seems we've been out camping together so it's nice to have a little chin wag and a toast to absent friends and also to you lot to everyone who watches and to everyone who puts and who comments the nice comments and nice messages and stuff i'm sorry i can't get back to everyone like i always say it gets a bit tough over all the platforms when people message you and i get i get asked so many questions about kit and even like landscaping questions i'm like people asking me about patio's and about doing the garden and all that and i can't keep up so i'm sorry i try and read as many as i can but to everyone i don't reply to i'm sorry it's not a personal thing and you know don't take it personally it's just that it's too it's too much for me knocking to to try and get back to everyone so this is to you to everyone who struggled through lockdown to everyone who's still struggling in lockdown i salute you much love cheers that's nice that's that is good that's just how i like it that that's like woody but also fruity let's not get bogged down on it though delightful my battery's going yeah i just wanted to say um my battery gonna go halfway through it probably yeah yeah i just wanted to say like i recently did a video where i put together a kit for 240 quid um like a beginner's bushcraft and wild camping kit and i wanted to give that away over on patreon and but i really wanted it to go to someone who was going to use it and not to someone who was just going to chuck it on ebay and and sell all the different parts of it um and yeah and that so i put some on on patreon uh you know comment down below as to why you would like it and then i did a podcast with john and we were going to choose someone and it became too much there was too many like it tugged on my art strings too much and it was hard to choose someone and it was hard to make a podcast about it because you can't you can't find the funny in it you know because it's people have been serious and it was too much for me i had a meltdown um like oh my god i'm gonna give it to you and i remembered a while back hey hook me cocks just flew out that's a sign i remembered a while back someone on facebook reaching out and sending me some pictures of a young lad with um doing bushcraft with his with his old man and stuff like that and i remembered it and so it took me ages to find it scrolling through my my messages but i found it and i reached out and i said would you mind if i give you your lad the this kit and um she was buzzing about it so i sent it to jack and uh then he sent to the sent some lovely photos of him with his with his rucksack on you'll have to grow into it a little bit i think but i'm over the moon that it's gone to someone who who will use it um and have many many a cool wild camp out of his dad because you know his mum said he goes wild camping with his dad he likes to watch my videos and i couldn't be happier that it's gone to him i think it's a worthy winner so i just wanted everyone to know that's where that's where the bushcraft and wild camping kit went a worthy winner a very worthy winner to you jack he's probably going to sell it in he probably going to bang it on ebay bang it on ebay get into what uh call a duty in smoking blunts there's not a breath man there's hardly a breath of wind absolutely still i'm so lucky i know i am i know this is lucky the temperature has dropped dramatically me did you jones's diaries are killing there is no capturing how how good it looks in real life and that's the beauty of it i guess it's like a private little look up mother nature's blouse msr pocket ross 750 millilitre titanium parts some salmon and broccoli pasta treated myself to a turks titanium spoon a long one so you can get into the bottom of your meal i used to just cut it off with my knife which is easy enough to do but it saves me doing that long spoon where's the fill level where's the fill level here it boiled already that was quick here we go let's turn it off wonderful such a fast boil time roughly to be close it up and leave it for eight minutes and this time of year when it's freezing outside them eight minutes are spent with that as a little a hot water bottle so you stick that into your jumper and let it heat your core and that's what i'm going to do summit to eat so much to bring life back into me fingers summit to eat get at me summit to eat sponsor me let's work something out uh you know what i mean just peeler crab peeler crab pasta or something well i'm looking forward to this it's been a long day not had much to to eat she's moist she smells good i'm in my mouth watering a little that's a that's a chunk of broccoli that get my head out away so you can appreciate me broccoli look at that that's a right chunk of brocks come here broccoli lesnar nice let's have a look at where's um salmon salmon rusty decent chunks of salmon good texture and good flavor mmm that's good the pasta's holding well and i'll enjoy this i'll enjoy some more wine might bring you back might not i think i found the hole in my air bed i found a hole in my air bed and the tent i found in the peg bag of my tent had someone to repair the fly of the tent so i've used that on the air bed and it seems to be working fingers crossed it holds out for the evening so that's good it's been a while since i've said this unless some magic or tragic happens i shall see the on the morrow morning glampers oh sail through a bottle of wine i didn't think i'd drink it all but i got carried away there's frost on the side of the tent and i'll tell you something as well look at this tragedy there's a few things with this tent that after spending a full night in it i'm not quite happy about i set me alarm it's six o'clock we're gonna have a look outside see what's going in i wasn't cold in the night slept soundly broke my tent which is a nightmare show you some of this regard a there it is there's hardly a cloud in the sky oh it's cold holding this thing oof just the air man it's fresh right let me just start off with this look it broke it's broke on the first outing now is that human error because that has never happened to mean all my years of camping went to close the outer as you pull it down you get to there and look how close it is man and that's just me every time i just naturally grab it pull it down grab it pull it down it's just flirting so close with the zip you see here you can see there the um the seam seal is just sort of it's just sort of peeling away already you know i know that's only cosmetic but it's just not a good sign especially look right and also these which at first so all the gimmicks in this tent i first at first i was thinking great what a great way to utilize the things that you don't use anymore but this is pretty much right you put your torch in here it's hard to get it in the bag is just so long there's no option to roll it up the bag is just so long that you put your torch in to the bottom of it and it's it's folded into it like that so you've got to get right into it to get you whatever it is back out this one isn't as bad because it's smaller but again you put your stuff in there you've you've all that space behind it so you might as well just chuck all your stuff in bag and then have it away in there from the inside of the tent it is very difficult to get these on because you're pushing you and you've got nothing you've got nothing to push on the back of it it's difficult you can't get it on look it's it's so frustrating to push which means you have to open the inner you have to open the inner right and imagine this in midfield scotland i'm just not doing it i aren't doing it you've got to put your hand outside the inner just to be able to push on the back of this on the back of the stud to get it on and then you go to the other side same thing you've got to open it and then oftentimes as you're doing this one the other one will come off but it hasn't this time there you go you've got to go all the way around there and then it stops and then it gets rid of you you're the it covers the loop the light loop anyway but i know you're going to be putting a light in there and then look it just doesn't hold any weight like and i can see that look now it can't now i can't get it back on i've got to open up my doors again and and uh and put it on so that for me it's just a frustration and a gimmick for gimmick's sake onto these in the the um the vent look at that the how hard that is to get to i'm moving the whole tent with my arm and then i've got to open the other door and get around the other side to continue with the zip if that annoys me now it's going to it's going to annoy me a lot more in the future isn't it i had a good night's kip but i fixed my air bed which is good um i was going to use a compede so luckily i didn't have to resort to that because i don't think that had to work so i was fine i was warm enough my sleeping bag kept me warm i wanted to love it and all these things would be forgive i would forgive and i would look at it in a lot in a different light if it wasn't you know over 400 quid it was over 400 pounds for this tent so it's it's a lot of money and so you want it to be perfect and it just is it worth like i don't know i don't know i guess this video is a review of this tent as well as it being my first adventure out which it is and i mean look at it it's going to be a glorious day and this isn't this isn't dampening my spirits but it's the first time i've had this out and it just goes to show you know it's uh you can pitch up in your garden and you can have a good look at it and read reviews and everything and until you get out in it yourself and figure out the mechanics of it and just see and you know just see it for yourself you just don't know and if i'd have got this for 150 quid tune if i'd have got this for under 200 quid 150 quid off aliexpress i'd be thinking ah fair enough you know there's the seams there's the seams coming away the mesh rips easy all these innovations are gimmicky i wouldn't mind i'd let it slide but for the price man i aren't letting it slide it's not good enough for me it's just not good enough and the hydro head i think it was 1200 it's not a very you know the floor is see through it wasn't a wet night last night the ground even just outside here isn't wet for the money you'd want a better hydrostatic head just catching it that little bit has torn a big hole in it big enough to be flooded with midges so he's rendered the tent useless in scotland i'd have to get i'm gonna have to get that patched up before i sell it but i do think i'm gonna sell it wanted to love it and there is a lot to love about it man it isn't it packs so well it does pack away in your bag so well it's so light and i love the dual access in the room the vertical walls on the inner not the outer the vertical walls on the inner are it's you know it's it's innovative there with the um the way that the the poles on the inside drop make it so that you can drop it down vertically it feels like i've got loads of room but i've also got loads of room in melanchant too and that's under 150 quid so in it there you go i'm gonna pack away as if it was as if it was pissing it down outside because they do say that you can pack everything away from the inside first and leave the outer and it's supposed to be quite an easy job to do so i'm gonna do it like that as a trial i don't know i'm gonna i'm gonna show you me doing it but that's the inner packed away and it i didn't have to get out of the tent and there's the inner packed away and it's good because it comes in its separate bags then that's i can just pop that in me in my backpack and i'm ready to go sack that thing off it dropped down all right actually i'll give it that let's cut oh no i've turned me to my blower on that was there turn me self standing see you can you can move it about a bit the light bar tell you what me i'll tell you what the shite bar am i right you know your shite the shite bar keep it keep it mate you can keep your bar you can keep your light bar mate not bothered not bothered about it and the things with the thing is with tents like expensive tents you don't know you don't know you can't take it for a test drive you know it's a lot of money to spend on summer and then you don't really know it until you take it out and then once you take it out if you don't like it that's it you just have to to sell it and move on and oftentimes you you make a loss like i'm going to make a loss on this so i obviously bought it out my own money and i'm going to have to sell it i can't see i'm replacing it because it all in in the mesh was kind of my fault wasn't it because the zip caught i just wanted a good two-man summer tent that was a bit you know something a little bit special for me summer trips this isn't it there i've said it this isn't it it's one of the options just to make make it so that i can carry a few more things around my waist because the pockets on this thing that's so great i put my phone in there and it's attached to me anchor power pack that fits in there nicely it's going to go over my belt that's all right that glorious mate let's have a double check make sure i haven't left any now we're good we're good leave no trace it's a little bit chilly because we're up top but it's glorious and i'll tell you summer as well i love and this is what this is what i'm practicing now again just to get back into the swing of it but having a decent walk pitching up having a night and then getting up early everything in bag and away you go for another decent walk let's get to the top of there i'm heading down there to that to that body of water for a little bit of a a dunk enough for my enough for my meal and then enough for a drink my foot my foot has gone numb chicken for heater with rice yes please one please one chicken for heater with rice please sealer up and that'll be there piping hot ready for when i get out cautiously fresh that's one of the one of the coldest dunks i've had definitely won it win column for smugglers i leave them to dry in a rock so i'm staying here for a few hours ah yes water look oh water time to be alive nearly swallowing nearly got too excited let's put my little bangles on just in case people don't think i'm a raging hippie full of stuff there's kidney beans sweet corn peppers you see all that very good i was in there for a lot longer than it seems or than it appears on the video in and out mucking about with cameras in that one i have a cup of coffee and then i'm gonna do a little bit of sunbathing and then we'll head off out of here big old bumblebee having a he's on wine look there's no in there mate chinned it all last night where's he on where are you what's he doing yeah mate come out that's it onto me that's it there we are maybe go for another swim a bit further down have a bit of a sunbathe just make a day of it but i'm going to leave this one here and it has been a classic i've enjoyed it i've absolutely loved it in fact it's been so good to be back out oh like a like a new lease of life being back out here doing what i love i'll see you soon i'll see you soon for another video hopefully but take care of yourselves salute see you later i found this waterfall mate and it's it's too nice not to go in this plunge pool so
