- Welcome back to the channel! On this trip my goal was to finally spend a relaxing night in the forest by a warm fire. Mission accomplished! On the hike in, it was a race against the elements. Bands of rain and wind kept coming through the area until around 9pm. It made it a bit challenging to cook as I had to keep stoping to move under the tarp but it all worked out in the end. I highly recommend trying to make this dish yourself if interested. Very filling and much better than just a camp meal. After the rains past the temperature plummeted so it made sitting by the fire the remainder of the evening very cozy until heading to bed. It got quite cold over the night. I woke up to everything frozen and the surrounding area covered in frost. It was definitely one of the colder nights I’ve had in a while. Despite it being very cold it was a beautiful morning and the birds were chirping. I love the sounds of the forest at the beginning of spring! For my next camp I’m going to head back to the phil’s in search of some views. I hope you enjoy the video. Thanks as always for watching and commenting. It’s always fun to get a chance to chat with some of you!
If you’re curious what I’m up to between my camping trips, consider taking a look at my Instagram page. I usually update that a few times a week with images from my shorter exertions in the outdoors! Link below!

Great trip. Duck meal looked delish. Liked the tarp setup.
Love duck 👍😀. I really enjoy making this tarp setup. Spacious and provides great protection in the rain.
Thanks again, this is just what I am looking for!
Glad you liked it. Always fun to get out for a camp with a tarp in the forest 👍. Appreciate the comment!
That tarp set up looked good going to have to try that 👍
The tarp tipi is great to setup when it is rainy or windy! 👍 Basically like having a floorless tent!
Great use of the tarp and always enjoy the camping cooking
I really enjoy this tarp configuration when the weather isn’t the best. Thanks for watching!
Quality as always mate.I think Saturday morning kitchen is your destination!! I’ve ordered one of the fire holder set ups you had.keep it going.🏴
Thanks man! I love twig stoves. So much fun to use and a really efficient way to have a small fire for cooking. Appreciate the comment! ATB
I love your video’s. Thank you.
Thanks!!! Appreciate you watching! ATB
Both the bag and stove looks interesting. Another super video there.
Thanks! I love the Bushbox XL!
Great thanks for sharing. 😍
Thanks for watching!
I know this is from a year ago but I've only just enjoyed watching. I've seen about 5 of your videos so far and they are great. I'm subscribed to a narrow boater called Dan who recently camped out in the Welsh mountains and I mentioned your channel and he said he'd check it out. His channel is called sort of interesting. His camping video was quite short and he said he can't describe the beauty on the mountain. I mentioned you use a drone which gives amazing footage 😊
Snowdonia is such a beautiful place! I need to get back there for a camp. Although the Autumn weather there can be pretty brutal. Really appreciate you watching some of my older video 🙏😀 and mentioning my channel to others is really nice! Thank you for the support. Hope you’re having a nice week, all the best.

Nice video
Thanks for watching!
Your videos are so relaxing and amazing. Learnt lots of things from you. Please upload more videos. Your channel is the best and perfect. 🤠👍
These trips are very relaxing for me so I’m glad you find them relaxing as well! Appreciate you taking the time to comment 👍. All the best!
Looked just as cold as my last wild camp this did, 900ft up on a hill..
I also awoke with frost on the inside and outside of my tent.
Only just stayed warm enough throughout the night…
I’m so glad the weather is turning warmer now, finally!.. I’m certainly ready for a lighter pack weight and being able to enjoy sitting out (without a fire) under the stars, without having 4 layers of clothing on!
It’s good to see you back again, thanks for taking me along. 🙌🏻
Yeah spring came for a moment then it got cold again, but it finally looks like things are warming up for good this week. 😬🤞I am looking forward to getting back to Snowdonia or The Lakes for my next camp. Appreciate you watching and taking the time to comment! 🍻 to warmer weather! ATB
Nice one mate…. But its was a good frost in the night. And like always the food was looking 😋
A frosty morning always makes the morning coffee that much better. Thanks for watching!
Food looks delicious. Thanks for another enjoyable video.
Thank you for continuing to watch my videos 😃!
brilliant solo camp and really chilled out - literally ! Love the relaxed style and locations you choose. Have only recently discovered your channel but love it already and of course, subscribed. ATVB from a Brit expat now living in a sunny but wet Malaysia
Malaysia that’s quite the move! I’m glad you are liking the videos. These trips are all about taking a time out from the day to day stresses in life and hitting that reset button. Thank you taking the time to comment and I really appreciate the support 😀👍. All the best
Cracking video, we really want to get out and do a woodland camp, it looks fab 👍👍
I always enjoy camping in the fells but there is just something so nice about spending an evening in a forest by the campfire! Thanks for watching and taking the time to comment!
@@GoingSoloOutdoors We've bought a bushbox can't wait to try it out, we'll look forward to your next adventure 👍👍
👍 Enjoy! It’s a great little stove!
Great video.
Thank you! And thanks for leaving a comment! Have a great weekend!
Loved your little set up around the cooking area. Great video, I enjoyed watching.
Thanks! I’ve always loved cooking with both the bushbox and the fire anchor separately. This was actually the first time I used both of them together. I think they work well together! Thanks for watching and taking the time to comment! ATB
The field maple are a pretty tree. Thanks. Learned something new.
Your videos are very helpful in my camping experience..you are amazing
You are too kind! I’m glad you are enjoying my videos. I really appreciate the support!
I like it!!!
Thanks!!
Absolute class the solitude watching is so relaxing, took me away from work for a little while, keep them coming definitely my fave wild camp channel by a mile 👍👍👍
You are too kind! Just got back from a trip in Snowdonia today. New video should be up next week! Appreciate the support!
@@GoingSoloOutdoors fantastic will look forward to the next instalment for sure, thank you for sharing your experiences 👍
Great job I really enjoyed the video I have watched you many times I've never commented. This is the first time I watched anybody over a bush box. Thank you for your efforts it takes a lot to film and edit. I Don't I know your first name I know you have an account on Instagram. I don't know your first name I don't know if you're Canadian or American. It is a pleasure to watch you it gives me inspiration. Right now I have no transportation so I can ry I live in here in Arizona and it has been smoking hot! Look forward to many more of your videos until then be safe and no Trace Arizona Dave
Thanks for watching and taking the time to comment! Really appreciate the kind words! I was born in the states but now living in the UK. There are some beautiful places in Arizona hope you are finding a way to stay cool there! We are currently dealing with some crazy heat here as well. All the best!
Good to see you again! Great camp too! Thank you!
Thanks for continuing to watch!
@@GoingSoloOutdoors you know that i love your vdeos alway...😉
That looked beauty by the fire light. Your meals always look ace to! Enjoyed that one mate. Top work. Till the next one....✌🏻
I always really enjoy fire and candle light in the evenings, even at home! Thanks for watching and taking the time to comment! Hopefully I can get out for another camp pretty soon!
love video
Thanks! Appreciate you watching!
I really enjoy tarp camping in the rain. I always pitch my 7x9 tarp A-frame style but may experiment with other pitches this year. Just being out there in a minimal setup listening to the pitter-patter of the rain on the tarp is so relaxing. It can be exciting if you are lucky enough to catch a T-Storms. I'm going to look into that little firebox you had. That would be fun and less impact than a fire ring
If I had to get rid of all my camping shelters and pick only one setup … I would probably pick this setup with just a tarp and a bivvy. Probably the most versatile. An A-frame is a great configuration also. I typically use this tipi when it’s raining and the winds are constantly changing directions. As seen in the video the condensation can be bad though but the bivvy takes care of those concerns! I do miss not have thunder storms here in the UK. We use to get them all the time back in the states. It’s great. As for the firebox I would highly recommend one. The firebox and bushbox are both fantastic options. Thanks as always for watching and taking the time to comment!
Thank you very much realy nice enjoyed time out with you again fun awsome🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂🥰🥰🥰🥰 scenery stay safe peace love
Always nice to spend a night in the forest by a fire! Thanks for watching 🙏😃!
Very nice place view
Thanks for watching!
@@GoingSoloOutdoors 👌👍👍
Спасибо за отличное видео, очень уютное и душевное :)
Мне всегда нравятся эти лесные лагеря. Очень уютно вечером посидеть у костра. Спасибо, что посмотрели и нашли время оставить комментарий.
A not-dissimilar camp to the one I had recently, possibly on the same night - breezy, then showery, then icey. I very nearly went for DD Superlight tarptent and Bushbox/TJM anchor too - but went MSR tent and Trangia in the end. A shame about the downpours as I know you were really looking forward to a more open fireside experience, but it looks as if you had enough moments of that later in the night to keep you more than happy. Mouthwatering food as always! You are increasingly like the BBC of wild camping vids - you inform, educate and entertain. Wherever (and whenever) you manage a filmed camp next, I'm sure it will be a great watch. Cheers. Rich.
It did make it a bit difficult to film having to keep stoping and getting under the tarp every time a heavy band of rain came through but at least the showers would move through quickly each time. Benefit of all that wind I suppose! I was very happy that after my meal I was able to get in an hour of time by the fire without getting rained on!! Nothing like sitting in a dark forest next to a warm fire. I enjoy camping in the Lakes and Snowdonia but I do miss not sitting by a fire on those camps. As always you’re too kind with your comments and I really appreciate the kind words of support! Thanks Rich! ATB
Me and my friends are planning to go for trekking in Himalayas (India) at the end of the year. It is always a motivation to see the cooking, crafting, camp fire and most of you sharing the experience with us. Keep it up brother. I have a feeling this channel will reach 100k, 500k, 1M, 2M......... subscribers faster than anyone.
I’m not too concerned about the number of subscribers as I just want to encourage more people to enjoy time in the outdoors! However, hearing that one of these videos can be a motivation to someone is the absolute best compliment!!! Thank you for watching and taking the time to comment! Good luck on your trip in the Himalayas that sounds absolutely amazing!!! Take a camera I’m sure it will be epic!!
First time viewer. Now subscribed. Excellent peaceful video. Cheers mate.
Welcome to the channel! I appreciate you taking the time to comment and thanks for the support! ATB 🍻
Your bushcraft skills are impressive as usual. Tree branch tent pegs? Such a creative solution!
Sometimes a nice long branch works much better than a tent peg! Especially the lightweight small pegs that come with these tarps. Thanks for watching Lynette. Have a great weekend!
Great camp, meal looked tasty! Can I ask what bivvy bag you were using on this camp? 👍
Absolutely. I’m using the Outdoor Research Helium Bivvy. Thanks for watching!!
kool videos bro
Thanks! Appreciate you watching 🙏👍
@@GoingSoloOutdoors relaxing videos. really love them and hope you continue. best of luck.
Thanks for sharing, despite the changeable weather, that looked like a nice camp and a really nice plate of food too. I was surprised how spacious the DD tarp tent configuration was, I need to try that one day 👍
Yeah it’s a nice configuration. Definitely great when you’re not quiet sure which way the wind is going to blow the rain. A bit of a condensation magnet though. Thanks for watching!
Enjoyed your camp mate, shame about the rain. That place looked fantastic, you found a awesome spot. Food looked good, enjoyed watching your cooking. Been watching some of your videos recently and they are spot on bud. Keep up the great work. The Dragon
Thanks! I discovered this woodland a month or so back. It didn’t have nearly as many blowdowns though. I’ve been itching to do a camp here for a while so I was happy I finally got to do one. Glad you liked the cooking. Bit challenging having to stop and start with the weather but it all worked out in the end! I think I’m gonna try to make my way back to Wales for the next camp. Hopefully that Welsh weather will be kind to me! Thanks for the support btw!ATB
Love watching your video's but it would be nice to know the area's you go to. You only seem to mention the Lake District, which a lot of us are aware of. I was there myself in August.
You are great at what you do but why dont you mention where you are? There are probably a lot out there who would like to visit some of those area's as well.
When I camp in the woods I usually don’t mention where I am because they are local woodlands and I am trying to keep my privacy. Some I have permission to camp in and I do not wish to potentially share the space with others. Or I am in a larger forest that I do not have permission to camp in but I respectfully do so and leave no trace. Part of the fun camping is finding your own spaces where you can be alone and enjoy the outdoors. It’s not always easy here in England but when you do those spaces become very special. Hope you understand. Appreciate the comment.
@@GoingSoloOutdoors Thank you for the explaination. I only brought it up because all the campers we are subscribed to do. However, you are very polite and respectful and we love watching you.
We wish you and your family a Merry Christmas and a Happy, prosperous new year.
@@sparrow_6177 Merry Christmas to you and your family as well!
What's the name for that fjallraven jacket? It's nice.
It’s the Keb Jacket 👍
Enjoyed your camp set up, it goes to show its not ventilating that can stop condensation, you had no doors & still soaking wet on inside
Absolutely! In my experience, ventilation towards the top of the tent is best (helped with a nice breeze) and as much of the ground underneath you covered as possible is the key to helping prevent condensation. Especially when it’s cold out. But if it’s gonna happen it’s gonna happen 😄 best to just not worry about it, learn when to expect it and how it’s best to live with it. But keeping my sleeping bag dry is always a priority and that’s one of the main reasons I carry a bivvy! Really appreciate you watching and taking the time to comment!!!
Good stuff. I really like the ambience you get with the fire and candles. Must be a great sensor in your camera. Thanks for sharing your videos. 🙂👍
I love the ambience created by candlelight! So relaxing. As for the camera I use the Fujifilm XT4. It’s not a full frame sensor but I’ve been more than happy with it. I like it because it captures everything as I see it for the most part! Thanks for watching and taking the time to comment Brian!
Nice one buddy 🙂👍
Thanks! I appreciate you giving it a watch!
Awesome video
Thanks!!
@@GoingSoloOutdoors my pleasure
Muito da hora! Você sentiu frio nesse acampamento parceiro?
Não, meu saco de dormir está classificado para -9 C. Então eu estava bem e quentinho! Obrigado por assistir!
Any hard Maple trees in your area?
Not that I’ve seen in this woodland but we have field maple in others.
@@GoingSoloOutdoors I never heard of field maple. Will have to look that one up.
😙😙👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
😃😀🙏🙏🙏🙏

Is it a 3x3 tarp you got there?
It’s the DD SuperLight which is just slightly smaller at 3 x 2.9m.
@@GoingSoloOutdoors Thanks, I´ve been thinking about buying the superlight tbh.
@@Physicate I really like it. It’s definitely thinner than the regular dd tarp but also about half the pack size which is nice!
to heavy items you use..
I mean no disrespect but pack weight is a personal preference that in most cases is determined by the type of trip. For instance, in this trip I am only hiking a couple miles to find a campsite. I am using a light bivvy and tarp as my shelter so I bring some heavier items to enhance my evening and cooking experience. Isn’t enjoying your time in the outdoors what it’s all about. If I am doing a longer hike I have ultralight Dyneema gear from companies like Zpacks. In my experience your body will let you know pretty quickly if you are carrying too much weight. On this trip I think it may look heavier than it actually is as I barely noticed the weight at all. But everyone is different! I really appreciate you watching another one of my video and taking the time to comment 🙏! All the best!
@@GoingSoloOutdoors short distance and easy hike ok..but most backpackers seeks light weight..and some items are very expensive in light weight..lie Dyneema tarp..but still alternative out and makes 50-100gr difference but drops price very good..your tarp crazy condensation with open door..from my use and other user that level seems sucking water..i use gossamergear the two tent and i don't get that level..
@@advanturecantstop901 yeah my tents don’t usually see anywhere near that amount of condensation either, if any. With all the rain, the wet moss I was camped on, and the cold temperatures it was a recipe for condensation that evening. This is when the bivvy that I carry becomes really useful for these types of camps. I’m glad your happy with your gear! Any gear that gets you outside enjoying time in the outdoors is fine by me! Hope your having a great weekend. Thanks again for watching!
2 minutes of rain and that was considered "camping in the rain"?
🤣 and I only slept for less than a second in the video and it’s actually considered an overnight camp!!! Only kidding with. You may not be able to see the rain in the video when it’s not pouring but it starts when I am hiking in and is off an on until I’m actually sitting by the fire before bed. A good portion of camping in the rain can be pretty boring sometimes. For instance sitting under the tarp while it’s really coming down with rain. Sorry you didn’t enjoy the video but I appreciate you giving it a watch and taking the time to comment! All the best!
@@GoingSoloOutdoors well its basically clickbait. A lot of people, such as myself, look for "camping in the rain" videos. So yeah, it was clickbait. What a bs way to get views
@@NKdidit.24 that’s understandable. I will do a better job of capturing more of the rain from the tarp next time. But to be honest that’s how I would describe this camp because well … it was raining all afternoon/evening. It was the main reason I also setup the tarp tipi shelter. Probably the best for these kinds of conditions when you have blowing rain. If you’re interested in seeing me in the rain more I would suggest the mountain camping in heavy rain video. It rained for 14 hrs straight. You’ll get to see me hike in and out in it but for the majority of it you can only hear the rain as I’m stuck in the tent. Just curious as someone who is searching for rain videos what are you looking to see? Next time it’s raining I would like to focus on what the viewer is after. For instance how I keep dry? What I do while it’s raining? Or would you just like to see me kinda handing out under the tarp in the rain? I’m legitimately curious. Because I would like to make a video that everyone enjoys.
@@NKdidit.24 love the fact that you are only interested in watching camps in constant heavy rain and are deeply disappointed if it sometimes stops 🤣. This may explain your unpleasant and confrontational demeanour as it sounds like depressing viewing. This is the UK, a very rainy country which in April is famous for 'April Showers' As such this was textbook weather that presents its own challenges. The video showed this realistically and usefully. Happy camping! 🌧
@@CottonBud I suppose I could have shown me sitting around under the tarp a bit more but as you know I’ve been desperately trying to create a bit shorter of a video🤣! This comment legitimately made me go back and look at the video though. I tried to tell the viewer when it started raining as much as possible. But it is kinda hard to see the rain. Especially when I was filming with the GoPro. Oh well.
Complete waffle, why so much talking?
I’m glad you asked this question. Not sure, I guess I was just feeling chatty on this trip but you are right. I did talk quite a bit. I guess I don’t realize sometimes when I’m filming that some of the scenes are just me talking. Especially when it’s raining off and on like it was on this trip. I’ll try to think about it a bit more next camp. Sorry if it ruined the video for you. I appreciate the feedback!
@@GoingSoloOutdoors dude! you did a great job, I enjoyed listening to you. Some people always got something to say or complain about. Does my head in. Carry on being you my good man 👍
Keep being you , I’m loving the vlogs and you taking us along with you via talking it adds to it . Seriously some people would fight with their own shadow
