This made for a lovely morning watch...! Really good again & seeing U try new bits out... I've been doing similar over the past 2years... Have big camped for 50yrs, tents, caravans, van, trailers, etc... BUT, wild camping & backpacking is a whole new challenge...!😄 Think I've actually got my perfect kit now...🙏 For burner I've stuck to using methylated spirit, as it's only alcohol although it's purple...!🤣 (Do NOT Drink it...!❌ As it will send U bind & will die...!😕🙄🤔👎😄) However, I think it burns less fierce & therefore abit longer, plus is easy to get from a DIY store... I also have a simmer-plate-cap (as I call it!) for my Spirit Burner, so that's good to control the flame & also reduce amount of fuel used...👍 All good fun trying new kit, oh & U know that the Conker was a Chestnut, right...!?🌰🤔 😯Bonus...!🤣 Get em in the Pan...!🏞️🔥🏕️🌄
love the information on all the camping equipment . may I point out that your frying pan handle looks upside down I might be wrong but it looked awkward
Sherwood forest is a gorgeous part of the world. My aunt lived in Arnold, we spent many weekends exploring it as a youngster. As for red or brown on a bacon bap, I think you really need to try both! It's a game changer 👌 great Vlog Lisa.
Have you ever thought about being a Police Officer? Just the vibe I get from watching your video. You need to look up the Pathfinder ridge line and tarp setup on RUclips or Coalcracker tarp setup. I use the hasty ridgeline they teach, which works very well once you organize your kit. The hasty ridge line and some simple knots save you heaps of fumbling around if the weather is bad when you need shelter. Have a look? Enjoyed your video and I hope you do more of them. Thanks!😊
Hi Lilu Nice to see you out and about again, firstly if it's sausage and/or bacon it's got to be brown sauce (red sauce is for chips), secondly those conkers you were throwing around were actually chestnuts, you could have had roast chestnuts with your tea, conker shells have a lot less spikes with gaps between the spikes, they usually contain one round conker but can have more inside and they'll make you very ill if you eat them, chestnut (sweet chestnut) shells are covered in spikes criss crossing each other, the spikes are very soft and flexible, there are usually two or more heart shaped/tear shaped nuts inside, they are nice to eat as they are but much better if roasted, harvest time is usually around October and peaks December/ish, I tried to leave a link with some info but youtube won't let me. Anyway, loved the video and your new bits of kit, you seem to be getting a bit more confident in what you're doing and all aspects of the solo wild camp, I suspect it won't be too long before you're going on multi day hundred mile plus solo wild camps, keep safe and keep trekking., atb
I love my Trangia stove, best all round system I ever used, and I just love having a wee kettle. I bought one of those strikey sparky thingies but have only used it once (when I got it) a lighter or back up matches are so much easier, and lighter (keep them in a waterproof box). Another great video.
Hi Lisa. A few years ago I cycled from the south side of Nottingham to Sherwood forest. I tucked myself away in a part of the forest where few people would go and off the main path. Set up my stick burning stove and got water boiling for a coffee only for an elderly couple to walk past with their dog so good work getting a nice quiet spot all to yourself. The stove you are using in the video is not multi-fuel, it is for alcohol only, well, unless you want a to have a bad day and a visit to hospital. That type of burner is not designed for fuels such as petrol, white gas, Coleman fuel, paraffin etc.
The SilverAnt Titanium camping stove can be used with multiple fuel sources. You can choose to use alcohol, solid fuel tablets, or petrol. The versatility in fuel sources makes it a functional and robust titanium multi-fuel stove. For those travelling where access to fuel alternatives like gas canisters is limited. A titanium multi-fuel stove is perfect. Use your stove in all seasons and conditions. (Extracted from website)
@@AdventuresWithLiluPlease, please, please, only put meths or bioethanol in that burner. In an emergency, you could burn solid fuel tablets or hand sanitizer in it.
I read the stuff on the web site but its wrong and is just marketing blurb I am sad to say. Petrol burns too violently and needs to be carefully metered through a valve and jet (such as on a Coleman stove) neither of which this stove has. It is basically a Trangia burner but made of Titanium. There are videos on RUclips demonstrating what happens when you use the wrong fuel in a Trangia or alcohol burner. Solid fuel tablets would work but I expect they would not burn efficiently if placed inside the burner due to restricted air flow.
@@chrisgreen8916Hi Chris. Just wondering if you also think that the yellow flames coming from the burner and licking up the side of the frypan are excessive. I'd be wary of getting burnt fingers. Noticed that the windshield doesn't have any vent holes along its bottom edge and might that cause poor combustion. Any thoughts ?
Just found your channel (new sub) and look forward to future vids. 🙂 I try to camp in the woods all year round and it's lovely to see the trees changing throughout the seasons, but autumn is definitely my favourite time too. Watching you prepare and eat the bacon cob has made me really hungry - time for breakfast, I think.
Wrote the first comment as I was watching the video, love my flex tail pump as its really useful but what wanted to say is your choice for a Wild Country Helm 2 is a good one, I have Wild Country Zephyros 1 Compact and its a lovely bit of kit, very well made.
Nice day camp! Great idea to take gear out and have a practice with it. Doesn’t matter if it’s only a couple of hours, getting out is the important thing. Ketchup 100 %😂
So this video popped up on my RUclips feed. Loved it. Down to earth, every day a learning day. Local woods are always hard to camp in. My local woods is full of dog walkers and they always smell out my food when I'm cooking. Looking forward to your future adventures. I'm just hoping for a cold winter with lots of snow. Can I ask what drone do you use? Are you on Instagram too. Oh and it has to be brown sauce. 🙂
@#adventureswithlilu I see someone has been practicing thier knots!!! Well done !! Its probably somthing I should do... was in the scouts as a kid , have been camping for decades . Yet I still can't do any knots. I just tie everthing with a bow.. those pegs are rather nice . Didn't expect them with a tarp. If you see the old fashioned mop heads buy one.. each chord on the mop head makes an excellent whick for your ferro rods... the helm compact 2 is known as the little tank because it's sturdy , though quite heavy olso. Somthing to consider. Am loving the progress you are making so quickly... stay safe and shine on xxx
Hi Lilu👋🏻 great video, nice to see you out in the woods doing something different, awesome cookset too! I’ve just enjoyed a full moon camp and tried out my ultralight Bushbox stove with trangia burner, it’s a real game changer. I think Hillary Hilleberg will be getting lots of autumn and winter use in the coming months too! I’ve just joined a hiking group and really looking forward to the hike this week. If you ever fancy an adventure I’m a shift worker too and my hubby works in the week so it can be a very lonely life if we don’t make the effort! ❤looking forward to following your YT journey, BW, Sarah
Another good gear review Lilu, I reckon you ought to make blooper videos 'a thing ' ? Also it's got to be brown sauce on bacon for me, Enjoyed the watch!!! Where to she next Lilu ? Did you get a new tent ?
Charming little video. If that was your first attempt at raising a tarp, well done. My only comment would be that your ridge line could have done with being higher. Looking forward to your next escapade. Cheers.
I've got the same tarp there not to bad for the price. Loving the video's I've been following you from the beginning of your videos and always look forward to the next 👍
For me, brown suace for bacon, ketchupfor sausages. Nice to see my neck of the woods being used. Couldn't tell but it's worth sweeping the leaf litter away from under the tarp, I often bivvy out in the area and there are ticks in the leaf litter.
Hi Lisa. Think you're using the windshield upside down. The ventilation holes should be next to the ground. Think thats why the burner is throwing huge scary yellow flames up the sides of your fry pan, (but I might be wrong)
Cool video, most of my videos/wildcamping is in the woods, that was a buzzard you heard, meths stoves are brilliant, you just have to watch it with titanium, as it can burn food really quickly, there is a bushcraft fb group @3 counties bushcraft group, covers derby/notrs/lincs, we have camps 2 weekend of the month, so this coming weekend in fact, Fri to Sun, held at a cracking forest school site near newark, great company, good laughs, good food, and a great opportunity to gain some knowledge, in all areas of the outdoors, if there's a skill you want to learn, you'll be able to learn it here. Cant beat a bacon roll and a brew in the woods, good health and safe travels, cheers craig
I like those stoves it takes me 7-10 minutes to boil my water for a cup of tea but why rush when you’re out in nature 😁 so pleased you plan to do more camps . Thanks again for taking us 💜👍🍻
This is your best video so far regarding presentation, editing and background music. You have a very beautiful face which is seen to full effect when looking directly into the camera. Obviously, you don't want to be continuously looking at the camera. It is most effective towards the end of the video when you are summarising and noting future events. Looking forward to your forthcoming videos.
Great fun as always. Look forward to the upcoming Autumn camps. Definitely the best time of year for this kind of thing. Love it! Shame about the drone too, and finally, brown sauce hands down 😊
I went camping yesterday and I used my tarp over the tent. It also provided a vestibule. Tent was bone dry to pack up in the morning . I just shook off the heavy dew from the tarp and we were off. Tarp was 17ft x 8 ft.
Nice video mate, looks nice and awesome. All the best. Where is this place ?? very nice pine forest. Whats your good name please. I also, do camping here in Kerala. Msg from India, Kerala. Anver SULTAN
Ketchup for bacon for sure. Been loving your content so far. Your confidence is growing massively and you make me laugh too Also recommendation for a tent if you have not yet purchased. Have a look at nature hike cloud-up 2 it’s still an amazing budget tent, you can sit up in it, have all your gear inside or leave it in the porch area, it’s so lightweight and comes with a super groundsheet which you can choose to use or leave. Nature hike do have bigger tents too but this one is perfect for solo hiking 👌🏻
Hi Lilu, Great to see you back out in the woods, luckily no close-up experiences of marauding dogs, walkers or indeed Robin Hood! Glad you enjoyed your birthday with Hiking Buddies. I started my own group many years ago, still going strong we go out every third Sunday. Shame work prevented an overnighter but as you said it was a busy spot. The mushroom diffuser is a great idea for stealth camping, direct light can be a real give-away. I’m sure you have read all about tarps versus tents, the lively debates will run and run, both have their advantages. Look forward to your next adventure. Cheers Graham
brilliant 👍Nice having somewhere fairly close by and relatively quiet to test out new gear before venturing out in earnest. That's something I have in my part of the world apart from the occasional inquisitive water buffalo. Can't wait to see the autumn colours in upcoming videos as it"s something I miss after 18 years out here. ATVB from sunny Malaysia
Awesome video, I really enjoyed watching it! I like how you’d already tested the stove and frying pan at home beforehand. That’s a good tip, which is often overlooked on lots of other wild camping videos. I was very impressed by the fire steel setup, as I’ve never seen one that comes with a wick before. One of the best wild tinder’s for starting fires is thistledown, which can be found on the dead plant even in the heart of winter, usually matted to the stem from the rain. It’s one of the most flammable tinder’s you can find here in the UK!
A lovely lil camp 🌱🌳 Loved the warm glow light diffuser. I guess you'd been practising your knots, Lilu, as the first one looked good ...then it all degenerated 😂 Is there any evidence of locations from Robin Hood or was it a myth ?
Haha yes more knot tying required lol. Little John's grave can be found in the church yard of Hathersage ( peak district) we have the Major Oak in Sherwood forest and of course he definitely did exist!! 😉
Really enjoying your channel. Shame it didn't rain to test your setup- come to Southwest Wales - we've had enough rain for the whole uk this week 😅👍 atb Andy
B and Q sell the bioethanol, £8 for 2 litres. Its under the "La Hacienda" brand name. Have used it for a few years in an alcohol burner, works just fine.
Hi Lilu im new to your channel been watching your videos and really enjoyed them It’s nice to see a video not far from myself as well. I was really enjoying this until the ketchup came out on the bacon 😢 has to be brown sauce I’m afraid Anyway keep the videos coming stay safe and I will look forward to watching the next one 😊
I would be interested to know what knots you used for your ridgeline. I know you struggled with them, but it would be good to see more detail on this. Thanks for sharing.
@@AdventuresWithLilu For some reason I was scared of learning knots. 🤷♂️ I now have a whole four knots in my repertoire! Check out the Farrimond hitch. Adjustable and quick release. It’s my go to for my ridgeline (for now).
Wow look at you now getting the gear and with some good ideas. Oh one thing stop saying "oh well that will do". Trust your self and dont give a fig for what others might think . No one was born knowing it all.
I don't have to tell you this, but the ridge was wayyyy too slack. Use a Truckers hitch which will get it bow string tight... The to tie off you guy lines use a sliding adjustable knot to tie them off.. Alos you are probably better of setting it up higher to get some head room..
I use a tragia 27, it has alcohol stove and gas burner with it. Works well and you have 3 pots and pans. And has a windshield. Try a pocho and liner they work well, not perfect but light, and can be worn as a jacket, used as a basha, sleep system. Very veratile. Some even comoflage patters.
@@AdventuresWithLilu prussic knots on end of your ridgeline do job perfect there's lots decent vids about ridgeline setups I'm x military and still learning at 55 years old
Beautiful lady, beautiful presentations and explanations 😻😻
Thank you!
allways brown sauce on bacon and another lovely camp keep it up girl
Thank you 😋
Those 'conkers' were sweet chestnuts. Edible and delicious but not quite in season yet. I usually pick up a few and leave the rest for the squirrels.
Sounds great! Thank you!

Another great watch, peaceful woodland hard to beat, the bird sound you wonderd about was a buzzard and such a magnificent bird of prey
Ooo I couldn't see it sadly.. thanks for watching!
love the information on all the camping equipment . may I point out that your frying pan handle looks upside down I might be wrong but it looked awkward
Very good 10/10
Your the first I've seen in sherwood forest well done 😊
Wow, thanks!
We live 1/2 mile from our spiritual sherwood forest.camped many times there and chestnut and cob nuts loads
Sherwood forest is a gorgeous part of the world. My aunt lived in Arnold, we spent many weekends exploring it as a youngster. As for red or brown on a bacon bap, I think you really need to try both! It's a game changer 👌 great Vlog Lisa.
I like living in Nottingham as its so central to most of the UK

You're the best!
Good luck with the drone! New gear is the best! I’m running out of floor space for mine now 😂
You and me both!
Prusiks ! Look that up
Wonderful content!
Thank you!
Nice video as always wishing you all the best from a armchair camper
Glad you enjoyed it, thanks again 😀
Be it a "Bacon bap , cob or butty Lilu the only way is HP brown sauce !! (other sauces are available ) !!
Love your videos - keep up the good work !
Sounds great! Thank you so much!!
I love my Trangia stove, best all round system I ever used, and I just love having a wee kettle. I bought one of those strikey sparky thingies but have only used it once (when I got it) a lighter or back up matches are so much easier, and lighter (keep them in a waterproof box).

Thank you so much for the feature and feedback. The tarp set up is great and a wonderful bacon sandwich! And of course brown sauce
Great pieces of kit.. looking forward to more camps using them! Thanks again!! 😊

Nice day camp! Great idea to take gear out and have a practice with it. Doesn’t matter if it’s only a couple of hours, getting out is the important thing. Ketchup 100 %😂
Very true! Thanks for joining me
Looking forward to your October camp.
Tomato ketchup all the way
Yes me too...love Autumn...hope it doesn't rain on this one, tho lol

Brown sauce on bacon..some nice looking kit, a very nice looking lightweight cooking set.
Thanks for watching, yeh I'm impressed eith Silverant! It really is lovely and light and simple to use
Great set up, if they couldnt see they sure as hell could smell that bacon cob! haha
You got that right!
Well done. impressed with all of your kit lady...
Thank u
Lots of new toys! Full bottle of ketchup surprised me, have you thought about sachets for less weight. Looking forward to the next one❤
Haha yes I should have used sachets 🤣
Hi Lilu👋🏻 great video, nice to see you out in the woods doing something different, awesome cookset too!

Ketchup or Brown Sauce?
Naah .. Sweet Chilli Sauce, Standard or Hot .. yum 😋.
Thanks for sharing ..
Ooo yes! Nice one
Nice 😊.
Brown sauce with bacon
Righto!!
Another great video 👍 and the bacon butty looked tasty 🙂
Thank you 😋
A little gas money. Stay happy.
Oh wow! That's very kind, thank you so much !
Another good gear review Lilu, I reckon you ought to make blooper videos 'a thing ' ? Also it's got to be brown sauce on bacon for me, Enjoyed the watch!!! Where to she next Lilu ? Did you get a new tent ?
Charming little video. If that was your first attempt at raising a tarp, well done. My only comment would be that your ridge line could have done with being higher. Looking forward to your next escapade. Cheers.
I kept it low deliberately to try keeping out of sight but definitely need more practice, haha!! Thanks for watching 🥰

Didn't she so well?! Good game good game. Up here those are called Tea (tay) cakes, Oven bottom Buns. Happy belated Birthday.
Thank u so much!!
Yay, a cob!! 😊 I’m originally from the East Midlands, now West Midlands via 13 1/2 years overseas 😊 Really enjoying your channel
Awesome! Thank you!
Great video can't beat bacon butties/baps in woods
Yum yum
For me, brown suace for bacon, ketchupfor sausages. Nice to see my neck of the woods being used. Couldn't tell but it's worth sweeping the leaf litter away from under the tarp, I often bivvy out in the area and there are ticks in the leaf litter.
Ahh noted for next time! Thanks!
Hi Lisa. Think you're using the windshield upside down. The ventilation holes should be next to the ground. Think thats why the burner is throwing huge scary yellow flames up the sides of your fry pan, (but I might be wrong)
Ahh yes maybe...il try the other way next yime! Thanks!

B and Q sell the bioethanol, £8 for 2 litres. Its under the "La Hacienda" brand name. Have used it for a few years in an alcohol burner, works just fine.
Ah ok I shall take a look thank you
Great video Lilu , love the little lantern that looked pretty cool.
Thank you 🤗
@@AdventuresWithLilu A ray of sunshine and my pleasure too thank you too
Sherwood Forest? I love Robin Hood! The animated one anyway. Will you do a campfire sometime?
Probably not a full on camp fire no... im yet to learn the skills 😆
Hi Lilu im new to your channel been watching your videos and really enjoyed them
It’s nice to see a video not far from myself as well. I was really enjoying this until the ketchup came out on the bacon 😢 has to be brown sauce I’m afraid
Anyway keep the videos coming stay safe and I will look forward to watching the next one 😊
Oh how lovely, thank you so much!!
Excellent video. Hope you enjoyed the bacon roll. Look forward to the autumn adventures. Mind how you go
Thank you!!

I would be interested to know what knots you used for your ridgeline. I know you struggled with them, but it would be good to see more detail on this.
Thanks for sharing.
Umm I can't remember to be honest but il try filming them in detail next time lol need more practice first lol
@@AdventuresWithLilu For some reason I was scared of learning knots. 🤷♂️ I now have a whole four knots in my repertoire! Check out the Farrimond hitch. Adjustable and quick release. It’s my go to for my ridgeline (for now).
Buzzard calling
We need a bends and hitches session
Maltby!!! 🖐🏼 Haha, yes, you need to teach me bushcraft skills!! I have no idea what a bend or hitch is!! 🤦🏻♀️
Wow look at you now getting the gear and with some good ideas.
Oh one thing stop saying "oh well that will do". Trust your self and dont give a fig for what others might think . No one was born knowing it all.
👍👍🇬🇧
is that the Sherwood forest from the robin hood fame?
Yes Robin Hood Country 😊

I don't have to tell you this, but the ridge was wayyyy too slack. Use a Truckers hitch which will get it bow string tight... The to tie off you guy lines use a sliding adjustable knot to tie them off.. Alos you are probably better of setting it up higher to get some head room..
Yeh I know it was slack... and I kept it low so I wasn't seen. Thank you for the tips il have another go soon.. 😊
thay are chestnut not conkers conkers have big spikes on them like a thorn bush Me Lovely x❤👍😊👍
Oops!! Lol thanks 😊
I use a tragia 27, it has alcohol stove and gas burner with it. Works well and you have 3 pots and pans. And has a windshield.
Try a pocho and liner they work well, not perfect but light, and can be worn as a jacket, used as a basha, sleep system. Very veratile. Some even comoflage patters.
Ok thanks for the tips!
prussic slipknots on your ridgeline tighten it up just giving bit advice
Thank u...I need to research it more and have another go
@@AdventuresWithLilu prussic knots on end of your ridgeline do job perfect there's lots decent vids about ridgeline setups I'm x military and still learning at 55 years old

Thanks for the visit
