Good to see you back out in the woods. The donated fire pit is a god send in the chilly months. I tend to fall asleep far too early and then find myself awake far to early after a visit to the conveniences. But, theres that feeling of one up against the elements, skills and drills Allan.
I think you needed that camp to break the drought so to speak . One thing I enjoy about solo winter camping is .....just drifting of into thoughts and quite time to reflect. Good video to kick your winter season off to a start.
Slowly l am gathering my equipment together piece by piece ready to begin wild camping in the Spring ... Winter will be spent watching instructional videos like yours ...thank you for sharing your experience and knowledge.
I've never slept in a hammock, but I have slept under a tarp in the woods once, I cut up large bin bags and taped them together, to make a tarp and slept on the ground in a local pine wood. I was a teenager and it was the 80s. lol
Monsters, l remember hearing my first monster on a camp in the woods. Turned out to be a barn owl. But to a group of 12 year olds it was a monster alright. 😂 Thank heavens we had our trusty Gat guns. 😂 Good to see you back enjoying yourself. 😊
Good evening Allen. I am glad you were able to get outside for a bit. It is even better when you get to go with friends. The weekend after next, I will be taking my F2 out for a one, or two night trip. I will find out if it works for winter camping.
I like the F2 but the floor is lightweight. Colder weather its nice to have something on the floor to help insulate from the cold ground. 👍 I use a poncho liner in mine as carpet. 😉
@@jim-bob-outdoors I watched that in one of your videos, and I have bought one to use for that purpose. It should work out well. Thanks for the information.
I live in the southern US and today was the first day it has rained in 2 or 3 months. Burn bans all over mean no campfires which kind of put a damper on my camping spirits. But I've still managed to get out close to a dozen times so far this year.
Good to catch up on your videos. Thank you again for sharing your time out.. We have been ''away' recently so have been playing catch-up. Hope al is well, stay safe, stay well. Helen with Katarin and Terri with Robyn
Excellent video. Only one minor complaint. You didn't record the pub lunch. I spent last weekend unblocking my grey water pipe. Bastard of a job but I got there. Anyway, your video really cheered me up Allan. Glad to see you cheerful mate. Question, what do you think of the Belgian back packs and tent's ? I'm thinking of getting them.
@frogmaster83 South Wiltshire..I took a day camp trip today..took two hours to walk it. Got absolutely drenched through..had a view of stonehenge..now my hips are seized up..but at least I dragged myself out..nearly got caught by landowner..my ninja training is top notch 👌 👍 😅

It was great to get out again after a long brake.

I have done the same sort of thing when I was a kid. 😁
Congrats on making it out at last! I'm glad you both had fun.

Sounds perfect mate. Spring into Summer was very dry here but from the beginning of October its gone rubbish.
Good to see you out mate, not bad that little fire pit is it :)
It works well Andy. We had a good fire in it for about 10 hours and it coped well. Thanks mate.
Look forward to watching this one👍,my first camp is planned for the 25th Nov - cannot wait
Have fun. 👍😎
Very nice Allen 🤠
Thanks 👍
Great to.see you out mate

Another good one Jim 👍
Glad you enjoyed it

Thanks for watching ladies, glad to hear you are all back safe. 👍
Good to see you out again. Long night is kindle time lol
A Lenovo 8 inch tablet with films on it for me. lol
I went out for a camp at the weekend I’ve got the same tarp as you love the colour of the tarp, which we get a tent that colour
It is my favourite. Love the loop placement and the black underside.
Sorry for the late comment - what tarp is it?? I’m on the hunt for a new one, and that one looks perfect!

I have never recorded in the pub before, maybe I should one day. The Belgian gear is good, love the "Jigsaw" camo.
Man I need a camp out
Nice to have camp buddies..I've heard anyway
What area are you mate?

@@Jason-ke2nj shame you are not in the south east, you would be welcome to join me anytime.
That was a Muntjac deer barking mate, they could probably sense you were in the area and were letting others know of potential danger
Fallow deer in this wood. Not ruling out Muntjac, but I have never seen them in this wood.
@@jim-bob-outdoorsonly say that as that’s the bark of a muntjac mate, Fallow don’t bark, keep the videos coming bruv, loving your work
Ive no where within 6_7 miles around me to camp..its soul destroying
Thats a pain. 😒
