    • @thewanderingchef2955
      @thewanderingchef2955 Před rokem +6

      Not at all, I started the business because A, I dont eat meat and the selection for vegetarians is slim.
      B, the available options are incredibly expensive.
      C, the paperwork involved if I make meat based meals is restrictive.
      Having been vegetarian since 10 years old, then becoming a chef at 18, meat has played a large part in my career and I understand its significance to some people.
      I hope you are not too devastated by my rational mindset ;-)

    I went camping when my sons were little. There was three of us in a two man tent. All was well until it started raining heavily in the middle of the night. Toilets were not close by so I had a pee pot arrangement where if I needed to go I’d use the Tupperware container I’d bought for that very purpose. Three on an air bed akin to a trampoline meant if someone moved we’d all feel it. I was weeing into my pot when my son who was sleeping moved thus sending me and said pee pot tumbling over! The boys slept through it but I led there until day break unable to move and being surrounded with my own wee. I will never camp again. 😢

    When very young we pitched a family tent in the lake district by the side of a babbling stoney mountain stream. Lovely. That night it pissistantly rained. The next day was bright and off we went for our lovely walk, not realising 10 billion trillion zillion cubic meters of water was rushing down the mountains to the valley. When we got back...... everything was gone. Just water. 😮😮😮😮

    "If so, what is wrong with you?" Excellent!
    I know what you mean about the camping though. I've been really trying to push through the pain barrier myself...killer mice, less sleep, being cack handed at "putting things together" ...etc, etc.
    Truth is, I've had some lovely moments too. Last time upon waking, I packed up and after a wee wander made myself some coffee and had 10 minutes of watching two otters playing about 20 metres away from me. The time before I slept in a Bivy Bag (VERY easy to put up!) on top of a mountain and drank my morning coffee miles from anyone with the most beautiful view imaginable. Plus the sense of achievement, and overcoming my fears.
    I'm trying to do it more often (been sleeping in a tent in the garden sometimes) to get better with the equipment, and simply for it to feel more normal. I'd like to get to the point where I actually look forward to camping trip...

Yourself & Sunglasses Marek? I quite like the idea of 'Wild Camping', except for the lack of toilet facilities. I don't mind using a tree or bush for a number 1, but what if you want to do something more 'solid'? 😳 I think we like Camping because it's an escape from the 'norm' of your everyday life. And when you're somewhere as beautiful as the Isle of Wight, you can open your tent zip, & instantly see the amazing scenery. Just like we are in Thorness Bay right now. 😃👍 Can you have a word with the Council, & get them to stop the rain. 💦☔🌧️ Cheers mate. 😃👍

Third occasion was at the V97 Festival where i experienced the horror of festival hygiene facilities.

    Yeah, camping can do one, basically. I last went in the 90s with two friends from college. We took the hydrofoil to the Isle of Wight (funnily enough) and walked from Cowes to Wootton. We set the tent up and then gale force winds that evening practically destroyed it. We returned to the mainland the following day, with our tails between our legs.
    Still, the sunset and sunrise looked superb and that tent looked relatively resilient compared to ours. What next in the series of doing stuff you hate? Partying with pigeons?

    I like being in places you can only get to after a couple days of hiking, but all the prep work before you get to the trailhead is enough to dissuade me most of the time. I probably would’ve abandoned camp and walked home if I saw someone looking at me from a cliff in the night. There’s a very sad story from when I was a kid, please ignore if you don’t want to get bummed out-back in 2006 a woman and her daughter were shot and killed while hiking in a popular spot near me, and the killer was never found. I think of them every single time I got out hiking or camping, and absolutely freak myself out. The Pacific Northwest of the US is a spooky region

    Hey Cool Dude 0, Some genuine further questions: How did you choose your camping spot? Is wild camping permitted on the IoW?
