Another beautiful Snowdonia camp. Stunning pitch location, surprised how busy you said it was with others looking for pitches as well. I guess it's a popular place all year round.

@StuartThow 10 днів тому

Thanks Kev, yeah I counted at least 6 groups of people all dotted about. Thankfully from my pitch I couldn't really see or hear anyone. I think if I went back to that spot it would be middle of winter or a mid week camp to avoid the crowds.

Brilliant ...you said almost perfect ...I say perfect, views to die for ...glad you got the drone going again if only for a while...I can recommend my bed instead of a mat but my hot water bottle burst on it just after Xmas so after a new one myself...parachute ...now you have convinced me camping is a no no😂...great to see you out again and good luck with the subs ...if anyone deserves them it is you and your channel...Cheers Les 🙂👍

@StuartThow 12 днів тому

The drone was still playing up 😂 I had re installed the app but forgot to log back into it, so it only allowed me to do short clips. Thanks for the lovely comment Les, really appreciate your support as always, your comments always make me smile.

@StuartThow 9 днів тому

Yeah it's a great spot, just arrive early or go midweek though. The spot I had was the best one on that part of Y Garn. Such a chilled camp though, really enjoyed it. Thanks for watching 😊

@Hengists_Wild_Camps 12 днів тому

Another top video Stu.👍 Your tent looks nice and spacious. I was also thinking about getting the Vern 1... until I saw those videos where it couldn't handle 35mph gusts. I'll look forward to reading others comments on 4-season tent recommendations. Cheers for the vid mate.

@StuartThow 12 днів тому

Thanks for watching and leaving a comment mate, I really liked the look of the Vern 1 but I'm not so sure now about its ability to handle the wind.

@@StuartThow It’s bloody awesome in a cold wind. Still not 100% sure if I’m filming it. Haven’t the last couple times. Will see what I feel like in the morning 🤣🤣🤣 That’s a great spot where you were here. Love the views. Quite possibly I’ve been there before, seem to recognise it

Get a bivvy bag and a tarp. Go light! That forclaz mat is great. Hard to beat for the price.

@StuartThow 11 днів тому

I do love the Forclaz mat, I will probably keep trying to get hold of another one. I have the Alpkit Hunka bivvy bag but found it difficult to get in and out of it due to it not being the XL version, which one do you use?

@cheviot62 11 днів тому

I have a Rab. Once you're in you're in for the night!

Hi here I use Amok ul sleeping mat, I tried many of them but this beats all mats. It is so comfortable and made in Norway

Not heard of that one before, will certainly check it out! Thanks for watching and the recommendation 😁👍

@unclepeteswildadventures 12 днів тому

Nice vid that Stu I think your best yet for camera work. Nice chilled banter too. I’ve used 4 season Terra Nova Southern Cross 1 for a few years. Very solid in the wind .Not very roomy but a good sized vestibule. Very easy to pitch. James@ join me outdoors does a good review. I’ve used Soto Windmaster stove for years and it is excellent. Recently I’ve tried out alcohol and gel burners and you right they are slow compared to gas but I do like their simplicity and quietness. Hopefully this crappy wind and rain is leaving us soon. It’s really got me down. I bet it’s our new normal for winter though. Anyhow Atb mate.

@StuartThow 12 днів тому

Thank you, very kind of you 🙂 Thanks for the tent recommendation too, I will certainly have a look at it. I think Alcohol stoves are my favourite, purely for how simple they are and I'm never in a rush when on a camp. The bonus is how easy it is to get the fuel, I got fed up with the rising cost of gas and struggled to get hold of them from my local Go Outdoors.

Put your guyline round your poles in strong wind

@StuartThow 12 днів тому

Thank you that's a great tip, it was such a good night though with so little wind I think I could have gotten away with not even using a single guyline! Thanks for watching and leaving a comment, it's really appreciated 😀
