Mynydd Troed | Hiking the Brecon Beacons | Chilli when its Chilly!
Hi folks,
This is the second instalment of my visit to the Beautiful Bannau Brycheiniog National Park with the fabulous Mr Brand from @Linleys .
The landscape was stunning, if obscured by the cloud on our ascent, but good times were had (and sore legs on my part!) and the sun made an appearance for breakfast and stayed with us for our journey back down the mountain! I'm grateful for another epic adventure, in an area of our beautiful isle I'd never set foot in before (but will again!
This video should have been out a lot sooner than it finally was. A lot of home life, a holiday to see family, and a bit of sickness has delayed its debut, but here it it is, in all its glory!
Thanks for watching...

Upcycling old camping gear! Custom Down Rehydration Pouch
Просмотров 4002 месяца назад
Hi everyone, Mr @BurtonOutdoors kindly donated his old down sleeping bag to me, so I could upcycle it into new camping gear, with the request that I make him one of my down pouches from the filling... What he wasn't to know was that I'd planned on using the sleeping bag fabric as the shell for the new pouch! This is just a little video of the deconstructon (and feathers.. lots of feathers!) and...

Hi everyone, I got out for my first hike and camp in Wales since I was a little boy recently! Part of Wales I'd never visited before: The Brecon Beacons (Bannau Brycheiniog). This is the first video of two days hiking and camping (and cooking, and drinking!) with Warren from @Linleys. A brilliant time was had, even if we got not so clement weather on the pack up in the morning! This is the firs...
New arrival for the Creation Station!
Просмотров 1773 месяца назад
A new toy has arrived at Casa Outdoors, and I'm really excited to show it off to you! After the popularity of the camping gear I've been making, I was realising my little domestic Singer sewing machine was basically getting to the limit of what it could do, and I needed to get something... a little larger... a little stronger to deal with the amount of canvas I was posting through it! Hope you ...

Show & Tell - Quick Deploy Ridgeline
Просмотров 5744 месяца назад
Just a quick tutorial on how I've created and use my Quick-Deploy Ridgeline for my tarps. I was asked about this of a fair few comments on a previous video, so I thought I'd put a little something together so you can see how it works (and if you like it, make your own!) This was something I learned from other channels, and revolutionised my tarp setups, so I'm glad to share this to others that ...

Rainy Lightweight Camp | Terra Nova Zepheros Compact 2 First Impressions

Hi folks, In preparation for getting out for some hikes soon, I've invested in a new light(er)weight tent to hopefully bring my pack weight down. I managed to get our recently to give it it's maiden voyage (not even set it up in the garden!) for a rainy night in some local woodland, just to put it through it's paces.

Hike at Henley | Twin Tents | A Brace of Trangias And Wholesome Cooking

Hi Folks, I had the fortune to go out on a hike and camp with Warren at the beginning of the year. Both of us were sporting the OEX Rakoon 2.1, as well as bringing Trangia cook-sets (well, I brought one, Warren brought the rest of the shop!) We pitched just as the light was fading and managed to make a sheltered space between the two tents as the clag rolled in... Fortunate, and it did make out...
