Wild Camping with humour! Real outdoor life. No frills. No Bullsh!t.

Camping, Hiking, Kayaking, Canoe and Vanlife – we do it all here.

Products honestly reviewed (we can’t stand those fake ‘unboxing reviews’)

We’re just a couple of ‘happy go lucky’ people with a passion for showing how fun the outdoors is!

Take a look and see what you think.

*All content on our channel is our own opinion and our own views. All products reviewed are based on our own findings and we will not be swayed by a company to provide biased reviews, please do not contact us if this is your intention, it is not helpful for anyone to adopt this practice! All camps and days out are our own experiences of the outdoors and how ‘we’ like to enjoy it personally. Any negative ‘troll like’, abusive or foul language type of comments will not be approved to show on the channel and the user blocked from future comments showing on our channel (they will only show to the ‘said user’). This is to keep the community the nice, friendly and helpful place we have always found it to be. We operate a leave no trace ethos when we camp and try and minimise the impact we have from camping in a location. Any fire ash is doused with water and ash is dispersed/covered and all rubbish removed. We’d encourage others to do the same.

    Gareth. Craig the you ever notice how jumping into a decent sleeping bag in the freezing cold in boxers and vest warms up the down super quick compared to jumping in in your tracksuit you had on. Example.

  2. I think you would both love an overnighter in *The Priest Hole Cave Brothers Water near Ullswater*. When I stayed the last user had left a bottle of whisky for the next visitors! atb snack

  3. Another fun video Gareth and Zoe. Always enjoy them. We have walked past and near this bothy a few times when going up onto Haystacks but never seen it. Shame you didn’t have more firewood and shame about the flooding. Thanks for sharing this video.

  4. Done many camps at Fleetwood Pike the views from the summit are indeed Breathtaking. The parking charges throughout the Lake District is taking the piss and deterring a lot of people to go out and get exercise and believe it or not the National Trust are the biggest offenders of over charging for parking unless your blackmailed into joining this so called charity ( I call the National Trust another bloody Tax ) If you have to pay £15 every time you stop somewhere in the Lake District its going to cast you £100 just for parking and stopping for a day on a 3-day tour around the lakes its a Rip-off. Greedy dirty government for you. your Doctor tells you live a heathy life and get out into nature and get exercise and eat veg, (Really) well a weekend in the lakes for parking and stopping somewhere will cost you £100 ( if your daft enough to pay it ) and you can't get any veg in the shops its rationed like the war, and don't forget the £60 for fuel to get back and for and a round lakeland because nobody can afford £30, 000 for an Electric car with no charger supplied with it, or, anywhere in Lakeland to bloody charge it… Lets cash-in on the English countryside that (should be free) to the already over Taxed and ripped off English people…. Rant over.
    Thanks for the lovely video….👍👍👍
