May Bug! Big buggers! We.once had a lad had a few too many and fell asleep in his tent so we opened his doors and put all our torches in his tent to attract them. He woke up at 3am screaming with dozens of them in his tent and hundreds of moths. We were mean when we were young. 😂
Hi Jamie, yeah lots are saying that's what it's call, I've heard of them but didn't know it was that. Thanks for clarifying pal. Oh no the poor guy hahaha! Remind me not to go camping with you lot lol!! Good story pal, would have made a good TFTT 👍
Looks a great spot thanks for taking us along. Tent looks good too not silly expensive either. Look forward to watching more adventures with it. All the best Pete 👍⛺️
Morning Pete, yeah I love this area, so quiet and peaceful especially after a tough week. Lots more testing of this beaut Pete but so far I'm loving it, I agree, for a UL tent the price is good. I'm out in a brand new location this weekend so more tests to come on it. Thanks mate for watching and commenting, Ant 👍
Hi Dazz, thanks mate, it's near perfect there (is there such thing as the perfect spot 😆) yeah, I'm very impressed with the new Bobcat at the moment. Big thanks pal 👍
Beautiful pitch Ant I'm surprised you didn't fix some night lines out looks like a nice Flattie beach . Nice little tent compact but spacious at the same time including space for lodgers 😂 (Starship troopers ) . Every time I come over Bolton way I look out in case I clap eyes on you ...just to say hello . Looking forward to next Adventure .
Hi Tarmac mate, it's gorgeous isn't it mate, very relaxing. Yeah I did think about taking the rod or even the long line but I changed my mine, I just wanted to relax on this one and I think it showed I hope? I'm having a tough time at the minute so a camp and filming was just what the doctor ordered. Yeah the Bobcat as ticked the first boxes on its maiden outing I'd say pal. Definitely mate, if you see me please come say hello! Thanks buddy.
It’s a gorgeous spot that Ant (if you know, you know) 😉 Super chilled night out mate, I was well relaxed watching. Nice breakfast bun; glad the egg stayed in this time 😀 Nice video mate👌
Morning Joe, you all back from God's country now pal? Thank you mate, it was just perfect, I really needed it after the week I'd had. That's why we love it don't we. Yes, definitely, it's a place to keep under wraps isn't it pal. Haha yeah normally something goes wrong when making this breakfast, at home you get it right every time lol. Big thanks Joe.
Hi Jimmy mate, hope your ok pal, good yo hear from you. Thanks mate, it a place to relax in when you've had a crappy week you know. Resets the mind back on track. Yeah man, them bugs are huge aren't they, stunning to look at though aren't they. Big thanks pal
@AntSurviveTheNight My mom and dad would probably be put in jail for child abuse now. But we grew up in the country. And they let me go out camping when I was like eight and nine years old. loved it. I never heard of wild camping till I started watching CZcams. To me, wild camping is just camping or spending a night in the woods, and solo was no big deal.
Starship Trooper.. 😂😂😂. Well what can I say, great looking camp that but I have no idea where that is, it ain't Got a big tower in the background.. I think the see through Bobby is a nice thing and congrats on getting it all inside your rucksack Felix... I mean Ant. Great to hear the history and yeah, I have always loved hiking with my old fella then with my lad who is 18 now. My first follow was Bushman & Blue and MCM Chris,then Mr Wardle and yourself. Gaming wise, I was always crap at it so gave up after getting battered off a lady of the night on GTA. Lol. Fantastic review fella on another fantastic OEX product. Keep up the good work Felix . Oh,I have done it again. I meant Anthony. Atb. Andy
Haha thanks Andy, yeah beautiful up there, you gotta keep driving Andy, past the big tower lol. Yeah I'm liking what feels like a massive tent, got to be due to the mesh and colour. Haha yeah first time it's fit in the bag. Haha Felix! Ahh good stuff mate so you've been at it for some time too eh! Do you still head out with your son? Ahh cool, a solid bunch of youtubers there mate, I'm honored to be in such company. Haha yeah it's like learning a bike gaming, hard at first but then your off!! Big thanks as always Andy, I do appreciate your comments pal
@@AntSurviveTheNight cheers for the reply pal, yeah, my old fella dragged me up lots of fells in my teenage years. my son last came out about 12 months ago up fairsnape,(Paddy's pole) we wild camped up there but he hasn't done it since since he got a female friend. Lol. Hoping to WC up Pendle with my bro in law at weekend but we will see. Oh I am love the backing singers on tales of the tent. Is it Rod Jane and Freddy
@andrewstennett3186 oh nice mate, you have been doing it for years haven't you pal, good on you. Well I'm sure he'll still head out the door with the old man again pal when things settle down and he wants a break away from the girlfriend haha. Oh nice mate, enjoy bud. Haha Rainbow!
You are very welcome! And I am thrilled that you have the HTC vive headset. I started out with the basic one and within three months upgraded to the pro and didn’t lens mod on it. if you have not done the lens mod and you have either the original or the pro, you really need to do that. Oh my word it’s amazing! No more god rays! I decided to get the quest two and completely beefed it up to where It’s a really nice headset for a travel headset. I bought it even though I’m adamantly against quest and meta-! They’re ruining VR for so many by buying up the companies and only producing software for their headsets. Then when the HTC vive XR Elite came out, I was in line within the millisecond to buy that thing! I love it! Not enough games for it, but it’s excellent otherwise! So cool that you love camping and gaming! Very grateful for your videos too. Keep them coming!
Oh now!! No, I didn't know about that. I will have to look into it. I do get you as I now have to wear glasses I've never been back on it which is a damn shame but I'll look into that mod. Glad you love gaming and camping also, brilliant to know there are others like me and Leon
Great videos… Thank you so much! I play virtual reality games… Not pancake games. I bet you would absolutely love half-life Alex and games like that in VR! Totally awesome. Playing in vr is such a completely Immersive experience. Sometimes it can be overwhelming. Of course, I am Personally incapable of playing any FPS games… Just not at all in my heart! Lol kind of a bummer Because so many games incorporate fps now, but it is so much fun doing things in virtual reality. I’ll be taking at least one of my headsets camping on my next trip. Possibly 2. One is totally virtual reality and the other one has augmented and mixed reality. It would be great to play some of these games with the back drop of wilderness in mixed reality and augmented reality scenarios. Totally cool that you’re a gamer! love your videos! I found you through Simon, a bloke in the woods from the fundraising canoe trip you did in Scotland in 2022. Absolutely stellar! What a beautiful trip! I hope you Continue doing those fundraising trips. 🤗🤗🤗
Hi Sharon, thank YOU so much! very kind words. I too play virtual reality games. I bought the 2nd gen HTC Vive and absolutely threw myself into it. Some ace survival games in VR isn't there. I'm a fan of the Forest and in VR that's amazing. Sounds like you have a great setup there, I've played the HL games and played the VR version, it was class but too short I'd say. Looks like you'll have the best of both worlds Sharon, Camping and gaming!! Love it! Thanks so much as I say for the kind words and thanks for the support with the canoe challenge. There is more in the pipeline for sure so stay tuned for that! Can I just say i massive thank you also Sharon for your kind Buy Me A Coffee donation, I really appreciate it! All the very best, Ant
Yellow light is better to keep away bugs…my old Colman lantern had a yellow glass….you should try making something to cover the white light you can still see and film. Have fun stay safe.
Great video and great to have the weather back. On my last camp I took a frying pan and some steak for the first time but love the idea on a McDonald’s breakfast on a camp! Any believe the size of that tent as well, think I could get me and a dog in it? My tents are all 3kg plus all 2 man because of Ted. Keep up the videos mate.
Hi matey good to see you, hope all is going well with the tent and DofE. Thank you pal and yeah fab to have the weather on this one. Oh nice, can't beat real food on a camp eh! Yeah mate give them a try, it sets you up for the day. I would say yes definitely in the porch area for your dog for the inner possiby mate depending on Ted's size. Thank you mate and cheers for the comment
What a lovely spot to call home for the night. great video mate. Also a gamer here too, funny because it was a game called stranded deep that got me into survival and the outdoors. Now addicted to wild camping haha
Hi RDub, beautiful spot this matey, oh thank you! Ahh wicked mate, I knew there would be more of us wild campers into gaming. Yes I know the game, got it on Steam matey. Haha its mad isn't it, I'm the same! Thank you for commenting, I appreciate it.
CAMPING TIP Mate ⛺🌳Looks a good spot mate.. But, ,and Im trying not to be a killjoy here, nor am i a paranoid health and safety geek.. . But, those trees you camping between look dead. We called these 'widow makers' in the Army as they ,or it's large branches have a habbit of falling down,like the one you removed , no matter the weather, falling down onto campers ..Hence we trained to avoid camping down near dead trees or trees with loose/ Damaged branches . Just something for you and your viewers to be aware of for future reference. Prevention is always better than a cure i believe..A tip to prevent creepy crawly bugs,insects, squirt some Jiff lemon juice in the vestibule area,and sleep entrance. . Look forward to seam seal video mate 👍
Hi Mik, yeah no problem matey. I always check the area for widowmakers, I am aware of them that's no problem. Just to clarify these trees were alive and healthy 👍. If you watch the whole video you'll see that buddy. Big thanks for watching Mik
@@AntSurviveTheNight Hi mate 🙂..To be honest mate,and with up most respects to you and your fieldcraft/bushcraft knowledge. I say after re watching the video,and seeing some leaves very high up on them, then I believe them trees are not dead yet, but definitely dying..ie: Look at the shape of them from the roots/lower tree upwards..There trunks bent, broken branches/ lack of branches, a huge broken branch that you removed, a lack of many leaves. It's summer ,not autumn now,so the tree should be full of branches and leaves,bottom upwards. If that tree is Alive and well,so is Elvis Presley mate 😆.. I'm 60 , nearly 20 years of Army Infantry experience all around the world, incl in jungles,forest areas, in all climates.Bring taught by local fieldcraft experts.. As well as many years wildcamping.I know the difference between a dead or dying tree to a fully live one.. And those trees are definitely dying. They taken a lot of punishment weather wise, too much. Hence lack of branches,leaves below that have no doubt fallen at some stage. My main point was to bring it to the attention of other campers,for safety reasons, which I do whenever I see a video of them camping very near to dead,dying trees.Just so they aware of risks. It's actually one of the most common causes of injuries whilst camping. So me personally,I would have completely avoided camping near them mate... More so due to the fallen branches,around the immediate area. One huge one you moved yourself,that would have sent alarm bells straight away to me. Anyhow, looks awesome area, and thanks for seam sealing video, I'm one of those who have made a mess when doing it, so thanks for showing the best way to do it.. 👍🙂
Well i know that place very well I grew up there 40 + year's ago .there was grass as far as you could see from the point .amazing to see it all gone except that small patch your on . Bobcat looks good .i see you used it with no foot print how did the bathtub hold up ? Amazing weather u had .
Morning Rufus, oh nice one mate. Yeah beautiful there you were very lucky. I holidayed as a kid all round here so it's nice to get back. Yeah I bet the sea took it back eh? Yes, the Bobcat UL held up fab buddy. No, the ground looked great and dry but I did take the ground sheet I'll be using. Thank man
@@AntSurviveTheNight Cheers ant .glad the bobcat works well .they feel bigger inside than the green one must be seeing through the mesh . I'm away for 4 days walking this weekend . But I'm gonna take my new vango radon 1 .give it a try out .though my ul bobcat is tempting . Think i will save it for summer nights . Great vid keep em coming .
Yeah definitely is mate, the mesh and colour. Ahh right sounds like a hefty trip out that then mate! Yeah plenty of time to get use out of the Bobcat before the seasons change. Enjoy buddy
😀 Looked great, weather, food, tent! What an amazing spot to find! 👍 Those starship troopers looked like you could skewer them and stick them over the fire 😋😂 Tales from the tent... I get the 'survive the night' reference, but are there 2 Ant's, or 1?? Or is it a third person perspective? 🤷♂️
Hi matey, thank you! It was just the camp I needed after a tough week. Haha now there's a thought, might do a survival challenge just eating bugs 😆. Yeah there's two Ant's matey haha, and you thought, how could there be two, we've enough with one 😆 cheers pal
@@AntSurviveTheNight 😂 Would love to see a 2nd Ant, Ants survive the night, sounds like the 'honey I shrunk the kids' lawnmower scene 😂 A survival challenge eating bugs, there's a new spin on ' Survive the night (on) Ant' 😂👍
Haha yeah if you watch this video on your phone you should get a link on the top right of your screen, that's the video Ant is on. Haha yeah not sure many would want to see me eat them haha but who knows matey
What a great spot! At least with these tight spots you can be safe knowing no one is going to camp near you 🙂 That bobcat packs down tiny! I've seen a few videos on that now and next time I'm in the UK will have to look at buying one (I live in Spain and OEX are not available here, sadly) Anyway, lovely camp, thanks for sharing ✌️
Yeah it's a fab cheeky little spot this, enough for probably 3 tents I'd say but they would be mates camping next to you not stranger 😆 🤣. Yeah it's tiny once you get the pole out mate, I'm loving it. Ahh right, what a place to live pal, gorgeous I bet. Yeah let me know if you get one and your thoughts on it will ya
@@AntSurviveTheNight the only slight concerns with this new bobcat is 1, the 1500mm HH rating, as it's 1500 where they say things are considered waterproof, so would like to see a good rain test with it and 2. The lip/hood above the door doesn't look like it sticks out much, so would be interesting to see if water dripped into the tent from there, or into the porch area. But quality looks superb! aye it's not bad here, although I head to the mountains in summer if I want to camp as it's too hot down at sea level but I'm not complaining 🙂 ATB
@@whatsnottohikeHi there, just a note, don't worry about HH ratings. The test fr these ratings are so thorough and 1500 is more than enough protection for UK weather.
@whatsnottohike Hi again buddy, yeah I'm interested too to see how it copes. The material is said to hold up very to rain but don't worry, you'll get a full test from me. I'm not one to take this out in horrendous weather as its not built for that, forecasts will be checked but if it looks good and then changes for the worse and its not shown on the forecast that's what I want, I want to treat it as though I'm out on a multi day camp where things can change with a drop of the hat. It's a spring/summer tent, I know this but it will have a true honest test and review I can assure you buddy. Yeah, I'll be having a look at the rain flap, I want to see if it comes over the door when it's partially closed. Ahh sounds bliss mate, the perfect life eh! Good on you.
@@AntSurviveTheNight aye, I think it's perfect for spring/autumn and as you say, a multi day trek taking in all conditions to see how it stands up. I love the pack size and weight which is perfect if off hiking for a week or so. Value for money though given the materials used. Cheers, ATB. ✌️
Looked lovely there mate!. Where did you get the egg ring?? If i ever see you I will come and say hello. That quilt looked comfy as !!. Iam going to get the One Tigris down quilt for this summer. Now iam not a drunk, who drinks till passing out.. I do tend to move around a lot more in my sleep ( seems that I do dream after all). Take care out there.
Hi matey, yeah, it's such a lovely area to relax at, I love it buddy. The egg ring, you got me there pal, I'd like to say Amazon but I can't be a 100% I think Mrs STN got me it, ill ask her. . Yes, definitely come and say hi matey, that woukd be ace, i can show off to Leon then lol. Oh for sure, so very comfortable and warm. Ahh right, I have the onetigris quilt but it definitely a 2/3 season one. Thanks matey 👍
Top vid and, great gear great spot, on the subject of gaming, I’ve been a console player and are also into the survival game grind. Me and my mates gamed and we met 2 brothers from wales, and that’s where it all started for us. Those that game together, camp together 😂 all the best mate
Thanks Steven. Oh nice one mate, I had a inclining that other campers would be gamers too. Ahh sounds ace that pal, great friends with great interests eh! Fantastic Steven
Yeah was weird as I was like, I know him.. But only from CZcams and Instagram shall I say hello?😂. lovely spot there. It's good to have a chill one when the weather is good. Them bugs though! 😩
Hi Phil, haha yeah couldn't believe it when Leon told me haha. Yes, I beautiful relaxing spot this, kick back and soak it all in pal. I know! Big one that wasn't it lol
Hi Ant, just interested, i was out walking on sat and have got a bit on back of leg and couldn't find any tick, although i was scratching it, so not sure if i may have scratched off! Feel ok at the moment, so maybe over reacting! Tks Gary
@garyfoster7748 Hi Gary, chances are it will be just a midge bit up your pants leg but if it's bothering you just keep an eye on it. If you see a red ring appearing round the bite then give your doctors a call. You see, I knew it was a tick which panicked me but I'll stake money on it being a midge pal.
Great video Ant, many thanks for sharing. I want a sausage and egg muffin for breakfast now 🤣 What were your thoughts on the Bobcat UL compared with the original?
Morning Ivan, thank matey, chuffed you enjoyed it. Haha me too now again haha. Lots more testing yi be done over the summer with this one Ivan but first camp our went well, I'll be swapping the area where I keep my electrics this weekend so I'll see how that goes but yeah I'm liking it so far buddy.

Hi RDub, beautiful spot this matey, oh thank you! Ahh wicked mate, I knew there would be more of us wild campers into gaming. Yes I know the game, got it on Steam matey. Haha its mad isn't it, I'm the same! Thank you for commenting, I appreciate it.
CAMPING TIP Mate ⛺🌳Looks a good spot mate.. But, ,and Im trying not to be a killjoy here, nor am i a paranoid health and safety geek.. .
But, those trees you camping between look dead. We called these 'widow makers' in the Army as they ,or it's large branches have a habbit of falling down,like the one you removed , no matter the weather, falling down onto campers ..Hence we trained to avoid camping down near dead trees or trees with loose/ Damaged branches .
Just something for you and your viewers to be aware of for future reference. Prevention is always better than a cure i believe..A tip to prevent creepy crawly bugs,insects, squirt some Jiff lemon juice in the vestibule area,and sleep entrance. . Look forward to seam seal video mate 👍
Hi Mik, yeah no problem matey. I always check the area for widowmakers, I am aware of them that's no problem. Just to clarify these trees were alive and healthy 👍. If you watch the whole video you'll see that buddy. Big thanks for watching Mik
@@AntSurviveTheNight Hi mate 🙂..To be honest mate,and with up most respects to you and your fieldcraft/bushcraft knowledge. I say after re watching the video,and seeing some leaves very high up on them, then I believe them trees are not dead yet, but definitely dying..ie:
Look at the shape of them from the roots/lower tree upwards..There trunks bent, broken branches/ lack of branches, a huge broken branch that you removed, a lack of many leaves. It's summer ,not autumn now,so the tree should be full of branches and leaves,bottom upwards. If that tree is Alive and well,so is Elvis Presley mate 😆..
I'm 60 , nearly 20 years of Army Infantry experience all around the world, incl in jungles,forest areas, in all climates.Bring taught by local fieldcraft experts.. As well as many years wildcamping.I know the difference between a dead or dying tree to a fully live one.. And those trees are definitely
dying. They taken a lot of punishment weather wise, too much. Hence lack of branches,leaves below that have no doubt fallen at some stage.
My main point was to bring it to the attention of other campers,for safety reasons, which I do whenever I see a video of them camping very near to dead,dying trees.Just so they aware of risks. It's actually one of the most common causes of injuries whilst camping.
So me personally,I would have completely avoided camping near them mate... More so due to the fallen branches,around the immediate area. One huge one you moved yourself,that would have sent alarm bells straight away to me. Anyhow, looks awesome area, and thanks for seam sealing video, I'm one of those who have made a mess when doing it, so thanks for showing the best way to do it.. 👍🙂
@Mikhael1964 ahh no worries, cheers for the comment Mik
Well i know that place very well
I grew up there 40 + year's ago .there was grass as far as you could see from the point .amazing to see it all gone except that small patch your on .
Bobcat looks good .i see you used it with no foot print how did the bathtub hold up ?
Amazing weather u had .
Morning Rufus, oh nice one mate. Yeah beautiful there you were very lucky. I holidayed as a kid all round here so it's nice to get back. Yeah I bet the sea took it back eh?
Yes, the Bobcat UL held up fab buddy. No, the ground looked great and dry but I did take the ground sheet I'll be using. Thank man
@@AntSurviveTheNight
Cheers ant .glad the bobcat works well .they feel bigger inside than the green one must be seeing through the mesh .
I'm away for 4 days walking this weekend . But I'm gonna take my new vango radon 1 .give it a try out .though my ul bobcat is tempting . Think i will save it for summer nights .
Great vid keep em coming .
Yeah definitely is mate, the mesh and colour. Ahh right sounds like a hefty trip out that then mate! Yeah plenty of time to get use out of the Bobcat before the seasons change. Enjoy buddy
That's a tidy spot mate. 👌 Tent did you right. I'll say hello if I see you about.
Hi Mark, thanks matey it's a fab little secluded number isn't it. Yeah I'm loving the new Bob pal. Definitely Mark 👍
😀 Looked great, weather, food, tent! What an amazing spot to find! 👍 Those starship troopers looked like you could skewer them and stick them over the fire 😋😂 Tales from the tent... I get the 'survive the night' reference, but are there 2 Ant's, or 1?? Or is it a third person perspective? 🤷♂️
Hi matey, thank you! It was just the camp I needed after a tough week. Haha now there's a thought, might do a survival challenge just eating bugs 😆.
Yeah there's two Ant's matey haha, and you thought, how could there be two, we've enough with one 😆 cheers pal
@@AntSurviveTheNight 😂 Would love to see a 2nd Ant, Ants survive the night, sounds like the 'honey I shrunk the kids' lawnmower scene 😂
A survival challenge eating bugs, there's a new spin on ' Survive the night (on) Ant' 😂👍
Haha yeah if you watch this video on your phone you should get a link on the top right of your screen, that's the video Ant is on.
Haha yeah not sure many would want to see me eat them haha but who knows matey
What a great spot! At least with these tight spots you can be safe knowing no one is going to camp near you 🙂 That bobcat packs down tiny! I've seen a few videos on that now and next time I'm in the UK will have to look at buying one (I live in Spain and OEX are not available here, sadly) Anyway, lovely camp, thanks for sharing ✌️
Yeah it's a fab cheeky little spot this, enough for probably 3 tents I'd say but they would be mates camping next to you not stranger 😆 🤣. Yeah it's tiny once you get the pole out mate, I'm loving it. Ahh right, what a place to live pal, gorgeous I bet. Yeah let me know if you get one and your thoughts on it will ya
@@AntSurviveTheNight the only slight concerns with this new bobcat is 1, the 1500mm HH rating, as it's 1500 where they say things are considered waterproof, so would like to see a good rain test with it and 2. The lip/hood above the door doesn't look like it sticks out much, so would be interesting to see if water dripped into the tent from there, or into the porch area. But quality looks superb! aye it's not bad here, although I head to the mountains in summer if I want to camp as it's too hot down at sea level but I'm not complaining 🙂 ATB
@@whatsnottohikeHi there, just a note, don't worry about HH ratings. The test fr these ratings are so thorough and 1500 is more than enough protection for UK weather.
@whatsnottohike Hi again buddy, yeah I'm interested too to see how it copes. The material is said to hold up very to rain but don't worry, you'll get a full test from me. I'm not one to take this out in horrendous weather as its not built for that, forecasts will be checked but if it looks good and then changes for the worse and its not shown on the forecast that's what I want, I want to treat it as though I'm out on a multi day camp where things can change with a drop of the hat. It's a spring/summer tent, I know this but it will have a true honest test and review I can assure you buddy.
Yeah, I'll be having a look at the rain flap, I want to see if it comes over the door when it's partially closed.
Ahh sounds bliss mate, the perfect life eh! Good on you.
@@AntSurviveTheNight aye, I think it's perfect for spring/autumn and as you say, a multi day trek taking in all conditions to see how it stands up. I love the pack size and weight which is perfect if off hiking for a week or so. Value for money though given the materials used. Cheers, ATB. ✌️
One of the best videos i have watched that. Starship troopers had me though haha
Thank you Leon, I was shocked when you said that as I never think they films are gonna turn out good, so, thanks man
Looked lovely there mate!. Where did you get the egg ring?? If i ever see you I will come and say hello. That quilt looked comfy as !!. Iam going to get the One Tigris down quilt for this summer. Now iam not a drunk, who drinks till passing out.. I do tend to move around a lot more in my sleep ( seems that I do dream after all). Take care out there.
Hi matey, yeah, it's such a lovely area to relax at, I love it buddy. The egg ring, you got me there pal, I'd like to say Amazon but I can't be a 100% I think Mrs STN got me it, ill ask her. . Yes, definitely come and say hi matey, that woukd be ace, i can show off to Leon then lol.
Oh for sure, so very comfortable and warm.
Ahh right, I have the onetigris quilt but it definitely a 2/3 season one.
Thanks matey 👍
Top vid and, great gear great spot, on the subject of gaming, I’ve been a console player and are also into the survival game grind. Me and my mates gamed and we met 2 brothers from wales, and that’s where it all started for us. Those that game together, camp together 😂 all the best mate
Thanks Steven. Oh nice one mate, I had a inclining that other campers would be gamers too. Ahh sounds ace that pal, great friends with great interests eh! Fantastic Steven
How tall are you if you don’t mind me asking
Hi again Captain, I'm 5ft 9inc pal 👍
PS5 currently
Top man Steve! Cheers mate! Whats your go to games pal
Is the tent transparent?
It's very thin Steve but you can't see through it. I'm out with Leon this weekend so when it's dark I'll get that question answered for you pal
Yeah was weird as I was like, I know him.. But only from CZcams and Instagram shall I say hello?😂. lovely spot there. It's good to have a chill one when the weather is good. Them bugs though! 😩
it was nice to meet you :)
Hi Phil, haha yeah couldn't believe it when Leon told me haha.
Yes, I beautiful relaxing spot this, kick back and soak it all in pal. I know! Big one that wasn't it lol
Did you do a video about your tic?
Hi Gary, unfortunately not but I put a few things on my Instagram. If you need any info from me just let me know, I'll tell you what happened 👍
Hi Ant, just interested, i was out walking on sat and have got a bit on back of leg and couldn't find any tick, although i was scratching it, so not sure if i may have scratched off! Feel ok at the moment, so maybe over reacting! Tks Gary
@garyfoster7748 Hi Gary, chances are it will be just a midge bit up your pants leg but if it's bothering you just keep an eye on it. If you see a red ring appearing round the bite then give your doctors a call. You see, I knew it was a tick which panicked me but I'll stake money on it being a midge pal.
Great video Ant, many thanks for sharing.
I want a sausage and egg muffin for breakfast now 🤣
What were your thoughts on the Bobcat UL compared with the original?
Morning Ivan, thank matey, chuffed you enjoyed it. Haha me too now again haha. Lots more testing yi be done over the summer with this one Ivan but first camp our went well, I'll be swapping the area where I keep my electrics this weekend so I'll see how that goes but yeah I'm liking it so far buddy.
PC gamer here 🫡
Hi Jue, fabulous mate, me too!! Whats your go to games? Cheers, Ant.
