Stealth Camp with the Lanshan 1
Vložit
- čas přidán 25. 08. 2024
- After my wonderful wild swim and hike at the natural waterfall plunge pools, I set off to find a stealthy, secret hidden place for my first proper wild camp of the year. Celebrating 5000 subscribers, what a milestone!! Thank you everyone 😄
Stepping into the enchanted woodland once again in hope of catching sight of those magical wild deer or the pesky sheep!
I eventually find a lovely secluded spot sheltered by a huge Rhodedendrum bush and on soft squishy moss.
Let's see how I get on tonight, with my newly modified Lanshan 1...creepy sounds in the night, a too thin sleeping bag and bagpipes..LOTS of bagpipes.
I hope you enjoy another fun mini adventure with me doing what I do best.. keeping it real!
Happy camping!!

Lilu I hesitate to tell you because I would not wish to be overly forward but you are a walker. I did my first big walk yesterday after the eyes were repaired as it were. These things knock your confidence however ridiculous that might sound. It was a delight. I sat on a fallen branch and watched busy insects scurry by which may seem weird but I would not have been able to see them a week ago. It is life lilu and it is precious. We are both fortunate observers and participants. At the end of the day there are none so blind as those who will not see. I enjoy your videos very much. Those who never tried to walk are unlikely ever to run. Travel well woman.
I walked in the heat today, suitably hydrated and wearing an Arab headress that my late father had bought in Jerusalem in 1943. I knew I would get comments when I had a single malt in my local on returning. I remember something you said, the gist being that you get old enough to be secure in yourself. Some people sadly never do. We walk in strange terrain. There are far worse things lass. My best regards. Thank you for your videos.
Lilu, I off course admire your work. I would remind you that I am a man and barely sentient. I personally think I have put the process of evolution back by millennia. It is a joy to follow your work. I am hoping to discover the wheel by next Thursaday. Nick xx.
Great video as always. The noise you heard is actually a bird called a Nightjar, you were quite privileged to experience it. I’ll look forward to the next video, all the best😊.
Ooo thanks! I thought it was a toad.....
Just had a Google! Yes! Thats it! Never heard of a Night Jar
thanks for this I have been using the Night Cat tent which is a lanshan copy for over 18 months now - I too have made some mods mainly to give me more confidence that it would withstand bad weather. I have replaced 6 pegs with much longer ones. and the rams head at the front with a small carabiner I measured the pole set at the right height against my body so I don't need worry about it being correct when out in the wild
Congratulations on passing the 5000 subs mark. Here's to the next 5000 which I imagine will be reached very soon. Love your videos and this was no exception. Keep it up. By the way, and I apologise for being a bit forward, but you looked really cute at 25:00 / 26:00. Cheers..
Englishman living in wild Washington state USA - your videos don’t need planning or editing; you are a natural talent with the camera and your presence. The videos are extremely interesting and have a degree of innocence behind them. I think your channel is going to grow significantly over the next year and I look forward to watching many more. Thankyou
So nice of you to say, thanks so much 😄
Lol I am an Englishman living in Spokane Washington.
Congrats on reaching 5000 subs! I really like your channel and I'm not surprised its growing. I think the key is your down-to-earth approach, interesting content and your great on-camera personality. Don't keep putting yourself down, you're doing great. Just keep doing what you've been doing and I'm sure you will hit 10k subs before the end of the year.
Thanks so much!
I walked today for the first time in ages, dovetailed neatly after a post cataract operation that restored my vision. We need two things to hike, legs, highly recommended, and vision. It was rather nice to walk past a postbox on the way to a London Park through which a river ran, and not mistake it for Santa Claus and think that Christmas comes earlier every year. Thank you for your own vision which has happily been a comfort through what has proved to be only a period of momentary blindness. I have appreciated it. I can read again without scrabbling like a mountebank. No gentleman would easily aspire to be such.
Why are you spamming random comments? You've posted 15 separate comments on this one video so far. Weirdo.
Where a wooli hat at night works a treat
Pleased you are still going on your adventures. I still not got the guts to do it 😢. Love watching them and think you are so brave 😊
You can do it!
Glad you've managed to suss the pitching of that tent, shame it turned out to be a noisy location to camp though...Thank you for finding the time to create these videos and taking us with you Lilu....👌
You're welcome 😊
Sunday night viewing sorted. 😀 Been raining all day
Oh no more rain...we had a bit of sunshine today for once
Bagpipes, church bells and guns ha ha. Still looked like a lot of fun. Love your channel.
Nightmare evening lol
Thanks! 🤣
Miss Lilu I have a secret vice, not often advertised. I have always been a fan of boardgames. There madam I am unfortunately often found desolee. Some few years ago I played my old walking friend Charles at the overly unregarded Backpacks and Blisters. After the first round I was 35 points up, by the last we had drawn. Some judicious use of chocolate bars on his part had found me unduly wanting outside Keswick. I enjoy your posts. I can assure you madam that Keswick will not find me so indolent again. I am trying to make you laugh, why not. I am a jester, not a fool. As always. Try and pick up the boardgame, in the Lake District where it is set. I have walked off those hills 35 points behind and never caught up. Nick.
Great adventure ❤
Thanks 😀
Great adventure . Really enjoyed watching . Wonderful to see your tent providing a good shelter for the night . Hope you get out again soon . Best wishes
I hope so too! Thanks for watching!
Great video as always. You need to press the button inside the pillow to stop the air coming out. You press it again when you want to deflate it. Keep up the great work
Haha yes I was being really stupid that night..I think the bagpipes made me daft. Lol iv used that pillow loads but the button had got jammed. Sorted it shortly after lol 😆
😁 hi Lilu.. Good to see your perseverance with the Llanishen, trekking pole tents can be a faff to get right, but once your used to it the weight saving alone is worth it. I have the Alpkit tarp tent pyramid type and that can be a pain to get right sometimes when pitching. Good to see out despite the noise, bagpipes 🤣 of all things.. Hope you have a better wildcamp next time x 🤗😁
🤣🤣 it's never a dull moment!
Lilu, thank you for your stories. If you are uncertain about wild camping, don't do it. You have nothing to prove., Don't feel constrained to stand on uncertain ground. I am definitely not being patriarchal, as you know I inadvertently stabbed myself some few hours ago. It was like Ahab and Moby Dick round here. Call me Ishmael. The latter especially knew a bit about walking in whales. Only a fool would cut out his counters with an exacto knife and miss. Fortunately I did not bleed over anything important except my self esteem.
With best wishes,
Nick
Excellent video Lilu { as usual } ! The bird you heard during the night has been identified below . correctly , as a Nightjar , a Summer visitor to the UK , and the sound is called "churring". Nightjars are ground nesting and sleep during the day. They usually begin churring at dusk before taking to the skies chasing their prey , usually moths . You were privileged to hear one .- it had to be better than listening to the "Howling Bags" you were forced to put up with ! Keep up the excellent productions , I look forward to your next adventure !
Thank you!! I thought it was a big toad! Lol
I have never done this before but I am going to try and tell you an old story. So if you are sitting comfortably I will begin. It started on a Sunday, that at least was when the rain started so we might as well begin there. My late father was in charge of flood defence in Lewisham, something which I suspect came as much of a surprise to him as it did to the rest of the family. As far as any failing flood defence goes I think he did the best that any man could. The rivers, one of which flowed past our own house, burst their banks. Dampness descended and continued to do so. Nobody yet suspected that by Tuesday the dedicated milkman would come round by rowing boat. I have pictures of it. There were basement flats by the railway station flooded from floor to ceiling. I did not know him then but now old Ken had scuba dived through his downstairs neighbours kitchen. We had at the end of a long day moved everything upstairs except for the carpet underlay. About three in the morning I heard singing and went downstairs. It was the only time I ever saw my father drunk. He was splashing through our lounge in his underwear with a bottle of whisky in his hand. I left him to it, we never talked of it thereafter. That was my story lilu or perhaps more exactly my father's. At the end of the day we have little to offer but walks and stories. I cannot offer you walks compared to yours but I hope stories will suffice. They are walks in all but name. With best wishes. I am a historian by education. I tell stories.
Some places teach you so much and that whole area is like that. The nightjar was cool. The screaming boys not so much.
At least it wasn't a big toad outside my tent lol
Only you could find yourself plagued with bagpipes, church bells, gunshots and screaming boys Lilu ! Another entertaining and honest video. Great suff 👍👍😀
I know right!! Where ever there is lilu there's drama 😂😂🤣
Great video Lilu, I’m watching from Tasmania, Australia and we are in our winter, so I’m missing camping.
Thanks for sharing, I really enjoy your outdoor adventures.
Thanks for visiting !
Hello👋😃
That was good.
You are very brave💪
Nice when you said how much you appreciated the support of your subscribers. You genuinely looked moved. It was nice.
The pork looked delicious.
Bagpipes! Who plays Bagpipes today?😂
My camping gear is shocking.
I've camped 3 times now.
I used a tin of beans as a kettle and as a mug.
I'm posh now, just got a tin mug.
When you get chance please could let me know how much the camping blow up beds are.
Yours looked really good👌
Enjoyed your video.
Well done👏👏🫡❤
I
My sleeping mat is the trekology UL80 off amazon..I think I added links ok the description.. its about £35 I think. Really nice mat but not very insulated apparently
@@AdventuresWithLilu True, nice and comfortable and long but prob just for late Spring, Summer and early Autumn . Tad on the heavy side.
@AdventuresWithLilu
Oh poop I just noticed this.
I thought you didn't reply.
Thank you for letting me know how much it is.
My camping gear is so crap😂
I just picked up a tent over £200 for £50, used 3 times. Vango something.
I got wet on my camp.
A few days ago.
Looking forward to your next one🫡👋
Just found your channel liked the video and have subscribed Keep up the good work
Thank you! Welcome!
I see why those pipes were getting to you from what I could make out it didn't sound
like a professional player.
However a great wee video, and you did a great job all round.
God bless ,and many blessings from Scotland.

That was a great watch...! Crap about car☹️, but congrats on 5000+ subs...!🎉🎉🎉 So hope that this makes for a good or helpful comment...!😄 Ya got a much better pitch on the LS1 this time... Charles at Long Suffering Hiker has the best Lanshan set up vids imo & also check out Jason at Rambling On, he uses his LS1 loads, usually perfectly pitched... He's in Ireland & is always a great crack to watch & loves a cuppa T & biscuits...!😂 I've got the LS2 Standard with solid T-zip inner + footprint, but this year I grabbed a 3 season mesh inner, for the option in warmer weather & specifically so that I can see outside & still keep the bugs out tent...👍 Press the valve button IN on the Trekology pillow, will stop air escaping, but can still inflate it, then press button OUT to deflate it... Foil&foam mat would probably keep you warmer by having it on top of the UL80, instead of underneath it, although I take 2 & do both, one to protect & insulate the underside of bed & one on top for extra warmth, as they weigh almost nothing... The noises sounded like Crickets, grasshoppers or even frogs...!🤔🤣 I've gone back to using my original mini stove, it's so small & in a great little box, which came with a pot set... Then got a similar made mini gas lamp in box, which is fab in the winter... Love abit of PastaNsauce, can't got wrong...!😋 Flextail pump V's Church bells & Bagpipes, eeerm...!???🤯 That was a laugh...!🤣 I got a nice Summit Outdoors collapsible rechargeable Bug-zapper light from Tesco, which is well good £15...!✔️ Also take some Jungle Formula spray, citronella T-light candles, burn sticks & headnet...💯 Ain't no fecker chewing me if I can help it...!😄🙏 Got a great sleep bag a while ago about 700g Widesea400, duckdown, packs small, well warm, 3season, water resistant & with a large mesh storage bag for about £50 from Ali aye...!😉 Keep up the good stuff & enjoy...!🙂
🤣🤣🤣
Well done you brilliant video always a pleasure to watch ❤
Thank you! Cheers!
Another great video. It's great to see you out having fun. Can't wait to see your next adventure xx
Congratulations on passing the 5K Subscriber mark 🙂. Nice little overnighter in pleasant, if noisy at times, surroundings. Can't believe how cold it is in the UK this summer; seems to be a common theme amongst the recent videos I've watched this last few weeks on YT of UK wild camping. Very lucky to have moved with my job in the UK to sunnier climes in Malaysia almost 20 years ago but even our weather patterns are changing. It's always hot here but now we have incessant thunderstorms and very heavy rain almost daily with widespread flooding. Crazy times.! Keep up the good work wit the videos and look forward to watching your next one. You might want to check out Jason and his Rambling On channel to solve your Lanshan 1 set up issues. He seems to have it sussed without extra guylines as far as I can tell. Cheers
Hi and welcome! Thanks for watching! Yes, the weather around the world is changing, sadly
Hi Lilu, Thank you for the insightful videos. Camping , and gadgets have always drawn me in. Your enthusiasm for both is a joy to watch. There are times when the audio volume is very quiet, could that be because you are not using a Lav Mic? Is there any chance you might list the equipment used? I have just added the Flextail pump to my basket. Top gadgets like this are always great to research. Many thanks, and safe camping. SL
I use a wired mic ( in description) with tye Sony ZV-1 sometimes I don't have it close or clipped to me. Thanks for stopping by!
@@AdventuresWithLilu Thank you
Great video again , that unusual sound could have been a frog, they can make some unusual buzzing/chirping noises , but it depends if you were near water I guess , best wishes 🖤🖤🦇🦇
As soon as you pulled that sleeping bag out of its stuffsack, I thought you'd get cold during the night. Even in July its nippy some nights. A decent bag with 400 to 600g of down filling would be a game changer for you.
Il be taking my winter bags next time lol
Awesome video. First time watching. Keep doing what your doing and be safe out there! 😁👍
Thanks!
@@AdventuresWithLilu yes ma'am, anytime! 😁
So motivated to go out and camp but so much rain again!!! thunderstorms here atm
Yeh I was lucky that day day with the wild swim and camp...been rubbish since
I just found your channel I love camping video's or bushcraft videos but you stay safe out there it not the wild life it's the people well God bless 🙏 love from America ❤️
Thank you, yes, always have to be alert x
I’ve just watched your latest vid whilst having my morning brew 👍 thoroughly enjoyable all the way especially the symbols on screen 😁…as for church bells versus bag pipes well I would definitely have had to find that lone piper and removed his batteries!! 😃…tent looked good finally and so did supper 💪 cave woman camping at it’s best 👍….also I think that noisy bird definitely had issues 🙈
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Love the “ not everything is perfect “ vids. Greeting from Holland
Glad you like them!
hi lilu... great vlog again. thanks. and happy birthday to you. did i see you get a little emotional. bless. well done on your subscribers. smashing it girl.. 😊👍👍❤
Thank you 😊
Lilu the funny noise you were hearing through the night was a nightjar. It’s great to hear them but it’s like having an alarm clock that’s broken and won’t turn off. We get a lot in east anglia in Thetford forest, thanks for another great video and congratulations on your subscribers milestone.
I thought it was a frog!! What a rackett!!! It never shut up lol
Great video, I also had a really cold camp recently...I had a base layer in but not thermal. I've now got a lovely set of wool & modal thermals and wear them for every camp, whatever the temp outside and they regulate lovely to keep me just right. 😊😊
Sounds great!
looks a great spot for camp 😊 nothing worse than being cold in sleeping bag though 😉 also nice to see you on a Sunday afternoon 😀
Thanks! Is Sunday the best day for uploads?
Very interesting and appreciated thank you Lilu - Just checking also, when can we 'Tie the Knot' as such? with many thanks x Dominic
Haha tying knots mean being tethered, I'm a free spirit and need to have no ties. I'm afraid 😊
Thank you for visiting
You did great. You learn something new every time you go out. As long as you are having fun that's what counts. Do you think blowing up your items inside the tent would be easier and the bugs won't bother you. How is the car? Hope you have a wonderful week. Stay well and happy.
Thanks!
Scout goes into the mechanic today. Clutch replacement. I have a hire car loaned to me by another instructor thankfully.. It's been really stressful but hopefully things will be better this week. 🙏🏻
Great video watching you from Ireland you should come and do a bit of camping in Ireland.
That would be cool!
I always set mine at 130 , takes the slack out the tent , great video as always
A lovely quiet night in the country 😂
I remember the sheep!
A lighter tent is a good advance 👌
Haha who could forget the sheep!
Great video Lilu and the tent looks much better .... just one thing .. i have this tent and find 130cm a good length for the pole which should be place almost vertical .. that will tighten the tent up.. 🙂
Thank for a great video, and I wish you the best.
Thank you! You too!
Wow go girl you have more guts than me lol I'm a very big guy and I'll be honest I couldn't sleep alone in the woods for so many reasons haha
😱😄
Thanks Lilu, another great video! I would love to give wild camping a go, but I know I'd be abit funny about the creepy crawlies 😂 and definitely slugs! Really looking forward to your next adventure. 😊
Haha! I don't like them either lol
I switched to a hammock from my Lanshan tent after waking up to a couple dozen slugs on all my stuff. The hammock system is a little heavier, but everything off the ground is totally worth it 😂
@@umaiar 😱😭
Fantastic video lilu really enjoy .
Glad you enjoyed it
Keep up the great content Lilu . 👍
A great watch Lilu❤
Ha Ha. The pillows, have a valve in the middle, it is either open to deflate, or closed, to inflate. I only know this from bitter experience.... Yup, keep it simple. Good blog.....
Thanks for the tips!
Lol I thought she'd know that armbands, swim ring, lilos etc all work the same 😂
@@AdventuresWithLilu It may be one of those "two in one " type valves, inner smaller plug to inflate and outer larger plug to deflate. The smaller inner valve has a built in , one way flap valve.
Actually, my UL80 has a dual valve .
Check out the alpkit pipe dream 400. It’s a great sleeping bag that packs down really small.
Hello. First to tell you that you are fantastic. And then that I like to walk but unlike you, I never hear bagpipes. It must be said that I walk in my hills in the Basque country. There are also butterflies, spiders and church bells but no bagpipes.
Basque country - 🇪🇸 Spain?
@@AdventuresWithLilu The both, Spain and France. It is a shared country. (Forgive my English, it's not very good.)
Great video and congratulations on your CZcams success. 🙂 Like yourself, I purchased a light weight sleeping bag for the summer, but seeing your experience with being cold, I will re-evaluate using it unless the weather becomes super hot. 🙂 Thanks for sharing.
Omg I froze!!!! 🤣
@@AdventuresWithLiluMy two cold/colder weather sleeping bags are the OEX Leviathan 900 and the Rab Ascent 1100. The Rab is amazing. Very comfortable and warm. Used it in -7C before and slept incredibly warm. Have fun! 😊
Always a learning curve, knowledge comes from practice & making mistakes.
You will see by this time next year how far you’ve progressed.
Remember that when it’s a hot day, it doesn’t mean the night will be a humid sticky one as 99% of the time it will get nippy especially in Forests, Glades and Higher Ground.
I use a warm winter Sleeping Bag all year round, if it does get stuffy I’ll just ignore getting in it, open it up and use it like a Duvet.
Plan your trips carefully no matter how long and how far, always expect the unexpected and have a back up system, you can still carry light and be comfortable though.
As the saying drummed into me when joining the Army at 16 still resounds in my head some 38 yrs later goes like this……Proper Planning & Preparation Prevents Piss Poor Performance or words to that affect.
I enjoy your Channel and watch you getting more confident with each Trip, keep learning, keep achieving and keep being you as there’s a fantastic Outdoors Gal bursting to get out of her shell.
If you ever need any help or words of advice then please let me know, I’d be happy to help anytime.
Take Care and enjoy it.
👏👏👏👏
Hi Lilu, the pillow you have has a little valve that you press, it lets you blow air in and stops it escaping while inflating, when you deflate the pillow you simply press the little valve button and it deflates easily, I think you had it depressed , so that’s why it was a pain to inflate, hope this is useful to you .
Haha yeh iv used the pillow loads of times I was just distracted by the bagpipes I think 😆
Thanks Lilu great video.
Glad you liked it!
Great video thanks Daren
You're very welcome
Hi 👋 nice to see you again ,love from rob x
👋🏻
I will be meeting an old walking friend next week. She is visiting London on what I suspect is a farewell tour as cancer carries her away. She is laughing in the face of death which is harder than any of us might imagine. Old friends die hard. I will buy some Scotch and drink by a river when she is gone, hope to see a kingfisher and watch the world turn. Those of us who are left should walk and catch the ancient sunlight. That's not one of my dreadful poems Lilu, that's a truth. With best wishes. I apologise if I have been inappropriate. Death knocks on all doors, it is why life is so precious. Nick.
Great video as always
Never doubt your selve you an amazing beautiful woman God bless stay safe ❤
Wow, thank you
This is like pond life animation from the 90s channel 4 if dolly pond went camping 😅
😅
I am a man but i love your top/dress with the native american style patterns. Nice video too.
Oh thank you!
gorgeous
Another great video. Keep 'em coming Lilu. 👍ps seems like this 'Lanshan 1' is a pile of poo. The noise sounds like a Nightjar. 😁😍
Thank you! Will do!
Ms Lilu,
I have recently redefined what Cherry-Garrard called The worst journey in the world. It is in fact when your neighbours involve you in their matrimonial dispute. No matter how far you hike or cunningly stealth camp it will look for you, it willf ind you, and it will kill you. Clearly, though I am an old Shelter worker ,I follow the Liam Neeson school of marriage counselling. They were skint, I gave them some money and told them to have an Indian meal, no more than one bottle of wine, and for Christ's sake ring me in the morning when office hours are open. I apologise for the language being at heart a gentleman, but sod this for a bunch of soldiers. As always with respect. I have always tried to love my fellow human beings. Sometimes madam it is not always easy.
Bagpipes are hilarious
🤯🤯
Ms Lilu my apologies for perhaps over egging Liam Neeson in the original Taken. I felt pity when my neighbour, rendered by despair, was head butting my wall. It's a pity I am going to have to get that wall repainted. It's an old joke, we make them in face of sadness that we are unsure whether we can assist in. I am an old Shelter worker, we would have sold our soul to house somebody. It was at best a dubious currency. or exchange. Madam, my regards. I wish you well. I have no doubt that you will walk to places I have never seen or dreamt of.
3FUL Gear Lanshans are pants! Full of condensation and a nightmare to pitch! Get a Durston X-Mid 2
I had no condensation at all. I was happy with it
👍
Great video lilu,⛺️would you like me to send you some bagpipe music 🤣👌
🤯🤯🤯🤯😭😭😭😭😱😱😱😱
''never used it......won't be using it again''. Yep, been there, done that.
😅😅
I've never figured out those pillows haha
I had hoped to walk to Rotherhithe where there is a small museum devoted to Bazalgette pere but it is too damned hot and the finger I had inadvertently sliced open and still dripping blood would lead me to being pursued by feral dogs. So a poem.
I like you Miss's Lilu
You're a caution
You're a treat
The Mufti of Jerusalem
Would worship at your feet
The Czar of all the Russias
Would make you tea and toast
But none the less
It's just a guess
I like you more than most.
That's your poem. Why not. With thanks. I have nowt else to offer. Travel well. I have often found dreadful poetry speeds the pace. It might save your life one day. Xx
I have inherited a waif and stray from my late mother. Cerebral palsied born and by now reduced to virtual blindness and long wheelchair bound. We talked as old friends do. She reminded me, as old friends do, chatting away and having fun, that you do what you can and not what you can't. I have walked on hills, as you have, though I have envied you your loneliness, mine has been gladly if opportunistically seized. Julia is off to cruise Norway with her personal assistant, she quite rightly refuses to call them carers. I told her of your walks and she smiled as old women or men are like to do. She is an old friend of mine and I snogged her before she left. I told, and played, the story of you falling of something again to almost certain death. Julia smiled. I am not entirely xure she is the living Saint my mother thought her to be. I told her one of your stories, she is far too used to mine. With best wishes. It's life.
I think that noise is a frog chorus 😅 Foxes make a racket too 😅
There is a Guy called AlfieAesthetics on you tube who recently did a video called "The Strange Sounds of the Forest at Night" it's a great video to help identify animal noises at night. some interesting one in that video too. Good to see you trying the tent again Lilu 👍
Ooo il have a look..thar creature was so loud all night! Really creepy!
@@AdventuresWithLilu Hopefully it will help settle your mind next time you camp, there are some quite surprising sounds in that video, well worth a watch.
Great video girl, but some advice would be to wear more greasy brown gear to blend into your surroundings including that big here I am folllow me rucksack with the gym mat attached, light and stealthy, tarp and light gear with blow up mat would be start with pre cooked food to reduce space. Less gear , quicker to pack and move
Thanks for the tips!
Im insanely jeaious, Was hoping to head out this weekend, but seem to have a touch of Covid, so don't think anywhere for me for a wee while,
Oh noo get well soon!
Frogs . Yep I can hear the drunks make their way home down in the valleys miles away . Then airplanes flying over every hour and the traffic noise . Your not insulated from the noises you are normally insulated from in a house . Ear plugs work wonders .
As you may know lilu I am an old Shelter worker, accustomed to negotiation. Of course people with disputatios matrimonial disputes feel happy to draw me in to their resolution. Lilu I did housing, I housed thousands of people, benefits, and I am afraid dismissing Social Services who in twenty seven years never helped one of my own. You come off, I was reading an old Inspector Montalbano novel, and your eyes are fine. You come off a mountain and some squabbling world awaits. I hope I would neversquabble with my fellows but sometimes you want to walk a mountain alone. I mean no disrespect to any of my kin.We clamber on the shoulders of giants, we would be fools not to, I have always respected those who clamber alone or camp in forests unforeseen.
I had the llu 80 but has zero insulation I would treat yourself to a naturehike r5. 8 you can then get away with a bit lighter sleeping bag I've done a couple of videos about it
Press the button in rhe valve on the pillow, it switches between one and 2 way
Oh gosh I know iv used it loads but those bagpipes made me stupid 🤣🤣🤣
mods wise im just thinking holding the 5 corner three loops gether with looped hairband to put pegs threw ...an shockord for side n rear lines
This was really odd. I came back from my eye op. My neighbours were on their balcony. I am top flat of three in an Edwardian conversion. They invited me in for brandy and soda, also very Edwardian. I mentioned that I had found this really good hiking sight and Aysa said so have I. It's this woman who does stealth and hot camping. Hello I says and what would be the site. It was yours. I had not discussed this with my neighbour and indeed friend. We had arrived by different routes. I think,you are beginning to acquire word by mouth coverage. It would not surprise me if you attained 10,000 subscribers by the end of the year. There are tipping points. Aysa, a fine woman and finally much in love with her rather charming partner, was singing your praises as a brave and empowering soul. I am a man who would not feel appropriate in commenting but you have inspired my female neighbour. She's no fool but it is a hell of a thing you've done. Aysa was saying she's, that's you, so brave. I don't entirely care if I am inspired, well of course I do a little bit but I drip unwarrantedly white privilege from my fingertips and toes, you have inspired my neighbour and my friend. I really trust I am not being patronising, it would never be my intention, but you are hitting outreach. I am damnably impressed. I wish you well. My friend's husband thinks she is going to hit him a plank. That's men, lack of nuance.
🤣🤣🤣 oh after not having a very nice week this has made me smile 😊 that's lovely to hear...I was so down the pther day on my one day I'd managed to keep off work, I couldn't muster up the mood to go hiking/camping...I sat in my car for a while and decided hone was where I needed to be.
So thank you...more adventures are coming but mental health is a struggle with the lemons I'm being thrown at the moment xx
@@AdventuresWithLilu It was so odd having Aysa mention your site as she, her partner, and I sat on her balcony overlooking the park. They have had hard times of late and I had bought her flowers as befits a gentleman. We talked of your posts amongst other things. I had inherited my mother's flat, my father dying far too young. Ayea ,mentioned that she always called my late mother Mrs Nicholson. I felt constrained to add "so did I until I was twenty seven". We talked of walking and since visiting your site I have regretted not walking more when I was younger. I never drove and sometimes I think you need a vehicle to access some of the more allegedly beautiful places. I will be meeting an old Yorkshire friend and his wife in early August. She has never visited my nearby Greenwich Park where there be deer of which I know you are fond. Sometimes beauty lies round the next corner. You just need eyes to see it. We journey Lilu, it's what we do. If there are occasional days that depress us there will be days that bring us joy. You may think being sat on a balcony talking of a mutually visited hiking site wasn't particularly much. It was. And you occasioned that. Travel well. With best wishes.

Titanium is very light but it's a bit rubbish for actual cooking stainless steel is worth the extra weight imo.
Everything sticks to titanium 😫
Congratulations on getting to 5k Lilu 👏🎊🏕
Thank you!!
All I really want to do is thank you for your excellent videos. I overwrite I know that. When I was doing my doctorate my supervisor said " Could you please just effing stop". He was an Australian and it behoves a gentleman to cut some colonial slack. "What's that Skippy your thesis has fallen in the well".I shall focus, your videos are superb. There, I am done. I did not even mention the late unpleasantness that occurred in Builth Wells. Oh but I will. With thanks.
You seem to acquire mud a great deal. Just saying. I expect it's a terrain thing.
