Wild Camping in the Shadows of Pen y Fan
I'm sorry it's taken so long to get this video out there, but I've been busy at work and couldn't find the time to do the editing.
This camp is from last week - I walked the Storey Arms route towards the summit of Corn Du, then made a descent down to Llyn Cwm Llwch. The wind was brutal on higher ground, but once down at the glacier lake, I was protected from the wind by the surrounding mountains. It was a beautiful camp, under the shadows of Corn Du and Pen y Fan. It was however, absolutely freezing, the first real taste of winter.

After another long week of 12hr shifts I found myself needing to head back out to nature for a night under the stars. I headed to a favourite location of mine, a wooded area, next to a river. A simple camp under a tarp next to a fire. Thanks for stopping by, Ryan. #wildcampinguk #tarp #bushcraftuk Instagram: wild.aboutwales?igsh=NzFmbTkydjF4a2xu Facebook: ryan.owen.14...
ALL YOU NEED: A TARP, 3 PEGS, AND A LENGTH OF CORD
Просмотров 2,7 тыс.28 дней назад
In this video I demonstrate how to set up a plough point tarp configuration using the DD Tarps 3.5 x 3.5. The plough point is one of my favourite tarp set ups, it's quick to set up, it offers good protection from bad weather, it gives you plenty of room under the tarp, and all you need is a tarp, 3 pegs, and a length of cord. If you have any questions, feel free to ask and I'll help if I can. I...
A Quick Plough Point Tarp Set Up to Escape Heavy Rain.

As soon as I heard we were having heavy rain, I headed straight out to a favourite spot of mine in the Bannau Brycheiniog National Park to do a tarp camp. I enjoyed a cosy night listening to the rain, whilst sat by the fire enjoying some good food and an Irish coffee.

A Simple but Effective Tarp Set Up | One Tarp Two Configurations

A simple but effective tarp set up which is also great for beginners. In this video I set my OEX Bush Pro tarp up in an A-frame configuration, leaving long guy lines which are tied with a taut-lune hitch knot - this allows you to change the configuration for an open shelter. I attached the tarp to the ridge line using prusik knots, you can however just drape the tarp over the ridgeline, this wo...

    Another enjoyable video, the location looks beautiful. I’ve just finished reading ‘Finding Hildasay” by Christian Lewis, that I bought recently following your recommendation, and really enjoyed it, so much so, that I’ve ordered the sequel which should arrive any day. If any of your viewers are looking for a stocking filler, or have been tasked with a “Secret Santa” mission, they could do far worse, or of course just fancy it themselves. The recipient wouldn’t necessarily need to be a camper , it’s a feel good , easy read, and offers an insight into parts of the U.K. they’ve likely not heard of.
