- Part one of hunting and camping with a U.k sub 12 ft lbs Air rifle from 1983. In this video go hunting and camping in the u.k wilderness. We hunt wild game animals and pick wild edibles and camp on a hammock in the forests of Wales. #survival #bushcraft #airrifleshooting #airriflehunting #hunting #bushcraft #ukbushcraft #foraging
Another great adventure you can’t beat a good hunting and camping video
Cheers Jamie 👍
I’m a keen air rifle hunter collector.. recently bought a well cared 1984 HW77 and an early HW95 for project rifles ..bought both for £380 the pair.. after a wipe down and few pellets through each turns out they had both been tuned. Both on a 5p at 40 m.. my point is there are some very good vintage rifles German or English that will last a lot longer than the new offerings .. also I have A bull barrel BSA Superten carbine PCP that is as accurate as any of PCP’s I have in my collection . The older German and English a/rifles were built by engineers the offerings today are built by accountants and way over priced ( eye watering)
And don’t lay the rifle on the ground !, that’s why you have surface rust👆naughty boy .. caught my grandson doing that once ..he didn’t do it again🤕🤕 😂☹️👍
Haha cheers mate, I agree it's not good to lay them down but it does look for the video. Ah my mate had a super10. It was awesome and super accurate, huge bottle on it to for the times. One of the main reasons for rust is palm sweat I see, this particular gun had literally zero of it blueing left when I bought it for £250. I had thought of getting it repblued but it is a working tool and would be scared to take it out again in the damp weather. This has had a Welsh willy tuning kit installed before I bought it off a trusted friend. Full mirror polish of internals to and as you say you can smash 5ps at forty yards. In the right hands it's as good as a PCP.
I bought my old 77 from an older chap down on the Somerset levels..he’d had it from new and was tuned by one of the tuning houses of the day ( no idea who) rifle has plenty of patina and character and performs better than my stage 4 Paul Short tuned 97’s 😂😆
Yeah, the bean counters are running the show 😞
1984, that’ll be the smaller piston version that is more sort after 👍🏻
42:06 very educational I’ve never plucked a bird or cleaned one so this is something interesting for me and you really look like you are enjoying making these videos. I think this is where your hearts at camping and hunting.
I couldn't agree more, definitely where my heart is! Get out hunting or fishing dude
Another great video. Useful info for setting up my first tarp too
Cheers Dave. Glad you enjoyed it!
good video , it sounds like your boots rubbing with each other every time you walking so no wonder some things can hear you coming , when you light fire put a bigger stick under the little ones so you can light it to get more air into the fire if and when its needed
Cheers for watching mate. The upside down fire is epic, it never fails me but I do agree with your comment regarding other fire methods. Have a draw of oxygen from below is great but on a windy day it cause havoc lighting tinder from above. No wellies are silent 😂😂👍 cheers mate
South African living in the UK and I know I'm going to enjoy and like this. Only 3 mins in and I like your no fuss no gimmicks British style as I relate to that
I grew up with airguns in Zimbabwe and shot doves and always gave them to the garden boy. Now I'm 50 and now I actually want to shot for the pot for me. We got lots of guinea fowl on our farm and not unusual to run into 20 of them on the paddocks
Thanks for upload
Sounds amazing mate, I'm glad you like the content. Thanks for leaving a comment
@@MAXIMOUTDOORS I've subbed sir
Not throwing shade on other channels but sometimes I can't relate to the USA stuff
Keep on keeping on sir
I know what you mean mate. Meateater is another level though, if you haven't seen it, watch it. Thanks again
Brilliant vid
Thanks a lot mate, cheers for watching
Damn, you offed The Killer Rabbits of Caerbannog!!
😂😂😂❤️ best comment yet
Grate mate I’m also planning on going out with the tarp an rm8 haveing wild camp an cook also from wales keep it up mate
Thanks mate. Good luck with the camp. I like the rm8, good lookibg accurate rifle.
Mate... just found your channel... well ive watched a fair few vids before subing but awesome content pal, loving it 🤌 the hw77k is a master tool, i nipped in to a local gun shop near me for actually.. a quick browse and just as i cracked the door, the gentleman was just placing a rifle in the used gun rack... instantly i knew what it was! A pre 1990s hw77k! 25mm internals ❤ anyway long story short, i walked away £285 lighter and a very angry missus 😅 what can i say! It was worth the weeks silence 😂
Keep up the good work pal, top notch 😉👌
Great comment thanks mate, appreciate it. Glad you found a 77! And a proper one to ❤. He misses probably really likes the gun but just hasn't realised it yet 😂😂.
@@MAXIMOUTDOORS your welcome buddy. Yeah she's with it now 😂 I've had it a few years so... but saying that! she wont be happy again soon though 😂 if ya get me 😁 again great content mate 👍
I went to school with your partner( who shared this on Fb) really enjoyed watching this. I'm a gamekeeper. So up my street.
AHH no way! Awesome. Glad you enjoyed the video mate! I know where to get some pheasants then haha 😂 cheers
Hey man I really like your presenting style, but as someone with just a passing interest in bushcraft (which I think the majority of huge bushcraft channel’s subscribers are) I think an in-depth description of how you set up your tarp would be better as a separate video like a ‘how I set up my tarp’ type thing. I found 15 minutes of knots hard to watch, whereas I’m more interested in watching the ‘experience’ so a quick overview of your tarp would flow better with the vid for watchers like me. People clearly are interested in how you set up your tarp and so could still be filmed on the trip but released separately, which would increase your number of uploads per trip helping your algorithm. I hope you take this comment in the way it was intended
I need more comments like this. Genuinely thanks for the advice. It's all a learning curve for me and I do plan on doing a bushcraft basics series of separate videos on a whole different array of bushcraft related subjects. Honestly I really appreciate the comments and i will take it on board and try to incorporate this into the future. All the best. Maxim
It's a heavy gun I had 1 in my youth👍
Oh they are heavy alright 😂💪 x
Great episode as always brother.
Thanks a lot mate. Appreciate the kind words, glad you enjoyed it.
@@MAXIMOUTDOORS my pleasure man. Keep it up your doing great. Love the channel.
0:49 you had me at hello 👋 my friend
Thanks a lot mate. I hope you and the family are well👍
38:52 trying to do a little research on wild edibles in my area too. It’s something that always has caught my attention. Love the video keep pressing forward, young man make stuff that makes you happy because you really get into it.
Thanks a lot mate, cheers for continued support of the channel ❤️
Imagine a bear/boar is charging you and all you got is a fucking air rifle 💀
The Welsh Mountain Zoo has some brown bears.
Wild hogs attacks are very rare. In the Forest of Dean, one woman was knock over and another got bitten on the hand. Mainly they dont like dogs.
Wild animals are not dangerous. The cows can be dangerous
Hey new subscriber here.great video mate will catch you on the next one buddy😊..benny
Thanks a lot mate, unfortunately I haven't been able to get out and be filming as of late but the second video is in the making. Cheers for commenting and thanks for the sub
@@MAXIMOUTDOORS youre very welcome buddy hope to see you out soon bud🙂
very nice oven roasted.
Yes I bet it is, thanks for watching mate
You're not roughing it ,you're eating like a king, and it's good for the soul ,when SHTF those who said that to you will be the ones roughing it 🤘
Yes mate definitely. I normally have a beer in my videos to but I kinda strayed away from it ATM as it always seems to look like that's why I am out and not hunting and camping
Cant beat a good HW 👍 ,please dont take this as a negative comment, but swap your trousers, they are makingvto much noise for stalking, cant beat PAT95 ex army, ok not waterproof but they are very quiet 😊, new sub by the way👍 also use a face vale and gloves
I totally agree mate. I have full real tree clothing that makes no noise but I just didn't think to wear it for this video. Face vail in the woods is epic for pigeon shootml. Cheers for the sub mate appreciate it
Hit me up next time you go out with the Rifel ...I got a remmington 22 and hardly ever use it coz got no one to shoot with...also good vid maxim boy!!!
Cheers Nath
New subscriber here, nice filum and content, congrats 👏🏻👍🏻
Question for you, why is it you don’t like to use King Alfred Cakes?
@@Mugwumps107 I like using them but I don't like calling the "king Alfred cakes" I rather the term cramp balls. Thanks for watching mate and glad you enjoyed the content
17:04 the the camp tarp set up
Hello !! Watching from India. Great stuff👍 . What equipment are you using for vlogging ??
Hi from Wales. I'm using a canon eos d600 and a rode microphone
Looking forward to more shooting and camping. Can you add fishing too in these your wilderness jaunts?? 😊
Quality content right up my Street Well rounded knoledgable chap that jet made me laugh few years ago i was fishing and a tornado came in low and loud dropped my rod in the water 😂 bastards !!
Cheers dale mate. Up our way we have a massive reservoir called ponsticill and I was pike fishing one day and the hill behind me blocks all sound, I was sipping my tea and smoking a Zoot 😂 fucking two tornados came over about 500ft. I shat myself
I’m going to go back to a springer myself after owning a pcp.
I had an hw 77 back in the 90s
I loved that gun 👍🏻
I’m now looking at a hw 57 fts
Because they have an open sight on them.
Have you had any experience with the HW 57 and would you compare it to the HW 77 ?
Thanks for watching. Firstly the hw 57 would surely be high quality as any German engineers could master. The only thing that has ever worried me is the pop up breech block to load the pellet rather than direct feed into the barrel, from experience I've had guns use similar invention which can dramatically alter the position of the pellet into the barrel and cause accuracy problem. However I've not shot a 57 so couldn't possibly say that would be problematic. If I were to buy another springer and had the money I would opt for a hw 97kt or a bsa prosport but now we are talking £££££££
Thanks for the advice I have had that comment about the breech block and I can understand the reasoning behind it so that was the only thing that could put me off
My other option was the HW97kt but the lack of the open sight put me off.
My reason for the open sight is going back to basics but also having that reliability which you get from the HW’s.
Keep up the great work I love you channel 💪🏼
Yeh definitely as a shit hit the fan situation once a scope is broke and you haven't got an open sight you are pretty screwed. Thanks for the kind words 👍 Maxim
If it comes to survival with an airgun….I mean you guys over there are shooting rabbits , squirrels, and pigeons with sub-12 foot pound guns. I have a CO2 powered Umarex Fusion 2 (and a 1 for that matter) that will put out 11-11.5 foot pounds with slugs. So with a break barrel or an under lever, you can pick up a decent one of either for around $1-200, you could keep yourself fed for a long dang time. Use a PCP like an Umarex Notos, where you could hand pump it for any hunting session, fairly easy, you’d be set.
Couldn't agree more!! The only thing I would mention is that pcps are way more inclined to blow an oring and then you have a lump of metal with no real use unless you can. Repair it but a spring rifle hardly ever throws a broken spring, maybe the off breech seal which is very easy to replace even with leather. Hey I have ten guns, many of which are pcps and I love them very much. Thanks for watching and thanks for taking the time to comment. All the best to you and your family from Wales 👍
@@MAXIMOUTDOORS For sure. Even with keeping a few rebuild kits, their lifespan would be more limited than a springer.
Awesome, where've you been ?
Being a dad 😂 cheers mate. I was super ill over Christmas, chest infections ect
Just found you on the u tube tonight and i already want to invite you to do some filming on my woodlands(up the Rhondda way).Dude reach out and i will set you up
I would be well up for that mate 👍 cheers, max
I'm not anti shooting at all but I do want to point out that you might want to check again the UK laws on shooting birds (including pigeons). A quick google should give some clarity, I don't want anyone to fall foul of the law, otherwise I enjoyed the content.
After reading this comment I dove deeply into to rules and regulations. Man I had no idea the general license had changed. Thanks for the enlightenment. That's a real pity as my farms including this one get hammered by wood pigeons every year. Shitting in all the animals feed, smashing their crops... Causing general havock. I wonder how the bigger farm further afield are managing with the new regulations. Hey never mind. Plenty of rabbits squirrels ect the go with. Cheers again
The general license change is every February
Thanks for the information, I shall keep informed now. Honestly thanks, hate to think to be doing anything illegal even with out knowingly doing so
@@MAXIMOUTDOORS I all ways take a screenshot of it
31.47 Is when you first appear without your hat, and rest up against the tree to shoot the pigeon. So what were you doing immediately before placing the camera?
Loosing the hat 😂😂 cheers mate
Wheres part 2
Unfortunately my laptop died and the movie got lost in an apple Mac funeral. I am going to have to remake a new one ASAP. Cheers
How much did you pay for your Jacket?
@@MrNewtonian I think it was around £140 at the time mate.
😢 "Promosm"
I feel sorry for y'all! Having to depend your life on a toy air rifle is ridiculous!
I totally agree. Invite me out to you so I play with some proper toys!!!
