Wild Camping For Beginners by Adventure Solos
Are you interested in wild camping but not sure where to start?
This event in the Lake District addresses all those tricky questions - what equipment do you need for wild camping, which tent should I get, which gear is best to get started, is it legal to wild camp in England, how to stay safe, what food and water to take, how to go the toilet in the wild. There's even an option to have a qualified Mountain Leader show you some map reading and navigational skills to help you avoid getting lost when out by yourself! Most of all, you get to meet some great people to who would like to start their camping journey too!​
By the end of this weekend you’ll be all kitted out with brand new gear for you to keep.

    Great review. According to Nordisk, the cornerpole you ended up putting back, is supposed to stay in there. Also here is a windtunnel test of it :) czcams.com/video/6hKLfzqudBo/video.htmlsi=Pqn4IKPo2ZbGSXdL

    Crean pub was attacked by unionist terrorists in 1920s. They were ready to destroy everything, but when they saw his pictures and memorabilia in service of crown, they just left.

    If Scott had put Crean and Lashly in place of Evans and Oates he would had come through regardless of all other fumbling he did. Evans had really serious problems with starvation diet being big man, and Oates was crippled by serious war wound in leg. Lashly and Crean on other hand were tougher than nails men. Scott would had never select Lashly because he was put on charge of tractors which were just prototypes and failed. Even more damnably Crean was Irish.

    One of the best reviews I've seen of any tent (and I've watched a lot over the last few weeks!). I am going to see the folks at my tent supplier next week to return a Terra Nova Laser Pulse 1 which was way too small for me; thankfully they have agreed to replace it and the tent that I am most keen to see and consider as its replacement is this Nordisk Telemark 2.2 LW. This is to replace my old Terra Nova Laser Lite which has served me well but suffers from the inability to pitch taught now due to its age (19 years)... I think you and I are both long distance walkers although I am significantly older! (65 just) I am exactly 6ft tall so the measured 76cm headroom in the Laser Pulse 1 was just ridiculously low - basically it's more of a bivvy only design but super lightweight at only 550g thereabouts and a pack size that is about the same volume as a bag of sugar! Pretty amazing really but just too small to consider on a multi-day hike (they also do a ULW version!) The Nordisk Telemark 2.2 LW is really tempting but a lot of reviewers complain about condensation being particularly bad in this tent, but as we know condensation is a fact of life for any uninsulated structure with a living breathing human inside, it's just a matter of management and ventilation... So, what has been your experience around the ventilation issue with this tent? Is it really any worse than others of a similar type? I have seen comment that the two-door design is desirable not only because of the convenience for two people but also that it helps with ventilation; I think many of the reviews I have seen have been from people using the single-door version. Anyway, great video. I hope you get to see this message before I go to see my tent supplier next Thursday (28 March); in the meantime you have a new subscriber! Thanks :) Please forgive me a quick promo: read about my walks at truswell.org/books :)

    Very handy to know dude. I've just ordered one of these trolleys to take my kayak about 1/2 a mile to water here in Oz. Possible could get two (small) kayaks on the one trolley, save the mrs having to lug one around herself...

      ​@AdventureSolos the city is so much cheaper. The classic looks better by having a less plastic, glossy look and has a better locking mechanism so it can hold taller or more items, buy that in itself doesn't make it worth twice as much. So I'm going to get the city. Thank you so much for this video because I was clueless before watching

    A phenomenal story. I read the book not long after it was released. Thank you Michael for writing it. I loved history when going to school in Ireland and couldn't believe I'd never heard of Tom, or sadly even knew Ernst Shackleton was Irish too, an indictment on the system. I am glad that my son and his generation will not miss out on these stories, they are so powerful and stirring, and while the story of Scott is too, it means so much more when it is people of your own land who have done it, particularly in Tom Creans case when he was so unassuming and ordinary yet utterly remarkable at the same time.
