Hey, everyone! In today's wild adventure, we're taking tarp camping to a whole new level. Join me as I attempt to camp on a public beach during a giant storm, and let's just say... it doesn't go quite as planned.
Picture this: I thought it would be a great idea to practice camping in some seriously severe weather, so I set out on this extreme adventure. My plan? To set up camp on the beach using a trusty tarpaulin, cook up a nice vegetable soup, and just soak in the stormy vibes. Sounds fun, right?
Well, things got... interesting. I managed to set up the tarp using whatever I could find around me, which made for a pretty questionable camp. But hey, that's part of the experience, right? Next, I whipped up a cozy meal, trying my best to cook under less-than-ideal circumstances.
Now, here comes the real challenge: starting a fire. I tried not once, but twice, to get a fire going using my ferro rod. Turns out, the rain and wind weren't exactly on my side. But hey, we keep trying! Eventually, I threw in the towel on the fire, and it was time to hit the hay. Little did I know that the wind would go from intense to absolutely crazy!
The storm decided to turn it up a notch, and the wind was howling like a pack of wolves. My tarp didn't stand a chance against the gusts, and soon enough, it was flying everywhere but where it should be-anchored in the sand. This whole situation was turning into an epic fail!
As the storm raged on, I knew it was time to call it quits. The beach was not where I wanted to be during this wild weather. So, I packed up and headed out, a little defeated but mostly just laughing at the whole situation.
Moral of the story? Tarp camping in a giant storm on a public beach might not be the best idea, but it sure makes for an unforgettable experience! Thanks for watching my fails and adventures.

Amazing, Ranga!
Love your work!
Cheers mate! Might have to fly around the country and track down storms and do some camps! Lol, thanks for the support.
Love it. Ur the real deal man. Nothing phases you... well judging by the redacted comments, this did a bit. It sounds like u are practising for a new adventure.
Cheers bru! Just notching up some experience, its the only way I learn is by jumping into the deep end first. Look like a fool and then make corrections as you go. I do however gave Engganno Island in Sumatra on my radar... looks truly wild there. Thanks for the support mate!
This was a wild watch! Kudos to you for giving this a go! I thought you guys had saltwater crocs out your way? Yikes!! I’ll take a black bear any day over crocs! You’re the man dude!
Hola! From New England!
Glad you had a wild time mate! Luckily on the SE coast of Australia the only bad things are ticks, leeches and the odd snake. There are hardly any shark attacks too which is awesome! The east coast of Aus starts getting nasty (animal wise) from Port Macquarie North to Cairns. Thats where the sharks frolic and in the warmer climates you get salt water crocs. I'd be pretty scared in I was confronted by an angry black bear mate 😬😬😬
Can’t say your stuff is boring, that’s for sure. That wood looked nice and dry. Need to start with “pencil lead” width branches then “pencil” width then thicker etc, etc. That tarp was crazy. You could dig a pit to sleep in and your tarp could have a lower profile. 🙏👍
Cheers Jamie! I will try again next storm , but the problem is the wind direction change. Because beach is exposed to all directions, I would need to learn how to reset to new wind... almost like sailing lol! also want to test out a bivvy in extreme storm. In Australia it's not difficult to light a fire, but that was the first time trying it in wet conditions, so I need to really pay attention to prep next time.
Redacted 😂 that was awesome 😎 lucky the tarp did fly off intense
Cheers guys! Yes had to bow down to youtube rules... definitely swearing affects the push. I bought the tarp ages ago when I had some $$$, would have been devastated if I lost it.
man that was intense. good job with the pitch, even though you bailed it held up surprisingly well in wind like that, tarps just turn into sails in those kind of conditions
Cheers Sam, If i try it again, Im going to peg it down with logs. Wind switch got me, yep turned it into a bloody sail, almost ended up in NZ!
Yeah. One of the main things is picking your spot.
Sand is no good for stakes - they'll pull right out.
Also - you had no natural protection from any direction.
We liked to camp inside the former cinder block foundation of a house. No house at all - just the foundation - but - that kept us out of the wind ... depending. Even then - I had wind blowing right through the zipper on my sleeping bag. Gave up on that and got in the car.
In the Desert - we'd make walls of rocks to break the wind.
The problem with a pit - is that will get you out of the wind but the rain will fill it up.
Picking a good spot takes time and once we found one - we'd camp in the very same spot each time.
.
Bob thank you for your thoughtful insightful comment! I will do a camp in a foundation soon, sounds like you used to get out into the thick of it! Didn't realise wind would be a major problem in a desert, camping in a desert is definitely on my to do list! All the best Bob!
I’m a new subscriber watching from Honolulu Hawaii
Thanks for the sub mate! Hawaii is awesome, was there bodyboarding on North Shore 20 years ago! Lol. Im sure it's changed alot, but really beautiful place.
Good attempt Ranga.
Sometimes bailing is the only choice
Had my van nearby, so was too easy to give up! Next time, i'll make it more difficult to press the eject button lol! Cheers dude!
As far as the fire pit below the surface of the beach, you need to make another pit down a ways from it and connect the two via a tunnel, that way oxygen can get to the fire and keep it going. 👌
Cheers mate! Gonna flame Cu Chi Style next time! Yewww!
@@rangatrips Haha :D
Nyc blog
Cheers , we have this awesome stuff in australia called WD-40, when your components get a bit tight, just spray it in there and vwallaaa, you're set!
Enjoyed this , new sub here 👍🏕
Cheers mate! Glad you enjoyed it. You are lucky to live in such storm swept lands! Unfortunately in Australia its mostly calm, but when a storm comes it comes in hard!
It needs airflow
Hey Andrew! You mean the fire right? Yes, did not prepare very well, was surprised I could even get the tinder going! Cheers for your comment and sub 👍
@rangatrips fun channel, thanks for sharing.
@@andrewbrooks2001 cheers mate! Definitely not a how to channel, more like a what if! Lol
Looks like you had a peaceful night! This is nothing for you 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 or is it??????????????????????? I find adding the fire in after effects usually is best as it is not affected as much by the weather!
Haha, yeh cant afford after effects lol. It's funny watching rain camping videos and they have the audio of rain hitting the tarp before they even set the bloody thing up. You guys are "blessed" in the UK with wild weather and strong winds! Here it only happens once in a blue moon, except lately the moon has been quite blue! Gave you a sub, get you closer to the "holy grail" lols. Chees mate!
@@rangatrips Ah thanks for the sub, I guarantee to bore you super quick with my videos (perhaps start watching one, when you need some sleep 🤣🤣🤣🤣) We English love the weather here, it gives us something to traditionally moan about! I do love a moan or two. Stay safe, but not too safe, we all want to see these crazy adventures.
@@mrnobodieswildcampingadventure Yeh I did my 1 year in the UK and was very relieved to escape never have to return again. But now they have discovered some incredible waves in Scotland, so Im keen to go camping in a storm and catch some crazy icy waves there lol. I'll give some of your 1 hour epics a wirl when I'm struggling to settle down, you may see a massive spike in watch time hrs!

Hashtagging bro!
Pero tú estás loco allí llega el mar,si duermes te arrastrará la corriente.
¡Si, estoy loco! Pero no llega agua a mi tienda. Está lejos del peligro. ¡Gracias por tu comentario amigo!
@@rangatrips jajajaja,me agradan locos lindos,arriezgados,pero búscate una tienda linda con todas las comodidades, es bueno asegurarse lugar seguro y no importa viento,tormenta o un maremoto mejor lugares seguros debido al cambio climatico.Solo vi mucha gente morir por esas locuras.¿Comprendes?
@@mariaelvirareguera3487 ¡Gracias por preocuparte por mi seguridad María! Sí, lo entiendo, pero estoy entrenando para expediciones con mochila. No puedo traer mis cosas cómodas, necesito entrenar con equipamiento sencillo.
@@rangatrips cuídate.Abrazo.
@@mariaelvirareguera3487 gracias Maria, cuídate también
