Steve don't let a sign stop you from your passion, there just a guide. Do what you want, pull the rug of power from underneath them and they have nothing
I really enjoy these camping trip videos. They’re just so peaceful and scenic and you get some great shots. Please keep them coming, I can’t wait to see more!
Hi Stevie, thank you for another great video, getting better and better each time, keep them coming mate! I agree with your, 'leave no trace'. My friend and I recently paddled the River Stour, starting at Grove Ferry and picked up all the floating bottles, cans and litter while our on the water, not only did we leave the water cleaner than we found it, the cafe at Grove Ferry gives a free tea and coffee to reward your litter picking efforts. Next time we will take litter pickers and a net bag to make it easier. Great video, really enjoyed it. Regards Rich
2 years late in watching this video but I must say very good content, I'm new to paddle boarding which has drawn me to your channel, nice to see there are camping opportunities still in the UK
That was such a truly moving and heartwarming video you made it feel like we came alone. I really just zoned out while watching this. I paddleboard and kayak day and night, but camping is something I want to try. Thank you.
Very nice. I remember I sat out late once and man it was tough. Lake was rough as the ocean but once I found camp the night was so amazing. Paddling in the dark is a trip, but it was amazing. I love this video man. Thank you for posting
Thanks Stevie, great footage as usual. Never tried SUP but it looks good, may brave it one day; quite enjoy sitting in a kayak. Feels safer. Oats So simple, I agree Stevie, it’s a fine line!
Very interesting, I was curious to see if the extra weight would make the board unstable. I suppose it is no different than having a child, or a dog, sitting on the front of the board. Good luck, take care.
Thanks! I bought this stove years ago in a camping shop in Kingston that's not there anymore, can't even remember what make it is. But if you're looking for something similar, I might be replacing mine soon with a Lixada titanium wood and alcohol stove. It's the same thing but much lighter, and it has a dedicated shelf for an alcohol stove. Under 30 quid too, a bargain
Love the videos, they’re great to watch and must take some effort with camera placements etc. I’ve invested in my itiwit X100 and I’m planning my first over nighter in the lakes before the summers out
Love the vids. Can you make a special where you dont put music? No issue with your music selection. Would just love to hear pure nature for someone who cant get out the house
Thanks Avril. I am planning on doing a long livestream video of a paddle route. No music, none of me waffling on! Just the sights and sounds of the river. Just trying to work out some of the technical aspects
fabulous vid stevie thoroughly enjoy your content you are so uplifting. my mate gave me a sup a few weeks ago and have been using it every weekend i am a kayaker but really loving the sup experience.keep doing your thing stevie. cheers russell
Thanks! Definitely more SUP camping vids on the way. I'll still be kayaking - especially long distance trips, but SUP is now another weapon in the arsenal
Getting a paddleboard with more than the minimum attachment points is a plus. It gives you more options for attaching gear and even a kayak chair for maximum flexibility.
I want to do this but man in Texas it seems so difficult to find areas to legally camp that are primitive camp sites, I really don't want to have to be in an area near rv's or paved camp sites.
Fabulous quality content as usual Steve. If you had to choose one what would it be: your ITIWIT x500 drop-stich kayak or the paddle board? I have the x500 and think it's great except it is a faff to fold after a day on the water. However I have just bought the x100 SUP as well and await delivery. Again Thames and South Coast venues.
Thanks! If I had to choose between the two I'd take the X500 because I know I could do multi-day long distance touring in it, even in the autumn and winter. You're right though, it does take more prep and is less mobile. The SUP is just so easy
Seems a good way to try different paddling spots without the faff of the car. The board looks good - in hindsight could you have carried enough stuff for say 2 nights?
Based on this trip I reckon I could add another 5l dry bag for extra food and snacks and stretch it to two nights. The hot and dry weather meant I could take less too, had no warm change of clothing with me! As long as you stick within the recommended weight payload for the board it's fine.
You could probably carry a lot more than that even. Might be a good idea for a video to do some test runs with more and more gear until it becomes unstable. It would be great to know just how much we could carry
Inspired by Stevie (probably from the early Thames videos and now this) I did my first sup camping two day trip. I packed what I needed into a 100ltr and 40ltr dry bags based on what I thought I needed not weight. The bags weighed 10kg each. I am 118kg on a board that states it can carry 150kg so my total was 138 of 150kg. It was a little more tippy but not too bad. I had an amazing time. It was a campsite stop not wild but it was a pub on the riverbank and I’m claiming that as a win for my first go.
Enjoyed this and subbed. Just had a sup lesson loved it. Been looking at he aqua marina cascade hybrid sup and kayak. Have you tried one? Will you do a video on all the gear you take? No life jacket? Need a license?
Fantastic. Actually looks stable with the gear on it. How many miles do you think you could manage on the SUP? Problem with this recent hot weather is the amount of water to take. That could overload it (especially with booze as well 😂). Totally with you on the hammock. I prefer it to a tent as well. Great video. You have me thinking now 👍.
Thanks Lyndon, it was surprisingly stable even with water on it. It was an incredibly calm day though, so might be a bit different in windy conditions! I'm not sure how far I could go on the SUP, I think I prefer the kayak for long distance. But that might be because I'm still new to SUP and haven't built up my pace yet
Hi Stevie Yes I was figuring that. Very different posture to kayak. Ive not used a SUP so was just wondering. Oh yeah if its windy that could be an issue. Might be best to leave it for calm warm days. You don't want to be going over 😲. I'll consider it though. Looks easier than lugging a kayak anyway. 👍
Thanks Ed! On the SUP I wear a waist belt bouyancy aid, which you pull a string to inflate when needed. These make it easier to climb back onto the board if you fall in. In a kayak the vest type pfd is better because a waist one would restrict your movement while paddling. I also do long distance in the kayak and my pfd has loads of pockets and a water bladder etc
Thanks so much. That dry bag is perfect because it comes with the lashing straps and it's also really well put together. I use it for all my outdoor stuff now, not just paddling. Good luck with your SUP camping

So mellow and honest. This makes me feel even keener to try. Thank you :) . I hope to be wobbling around soon :)
Sweet adventure- thanks for taking us along.
Thanks for watching 🙏
I love being on the river or lake and it's quiet. No stress
in your intro you say it exactly how I feel when I get out on that water! Hope you're doing well and still paddling, brother
Nice film! Thanks for sharing your adventure
Thanks so much 🙏
The audio in the video was noteworthy! Great job again.
Thanks Phil
Your videos are just brilliant :) After watching your video about x100, i bought myself x100 itiwit, looking forward to paddling soon..:)
Thanks so much, enjoy!
Your videos are so lovingly made. I love watching them. Especially this one.
Have an enjoyable beautiful time on the water.
Cheers!

I paused this video at 0:55 and went to Decathlon to get a sup. Thank you
Hi Stevie, great video here, you have given me a few ideas for future trips and I look forward to viewing your other content.
Very interesting, I was curious to see if the extra weight would make the board unstable.
I suppose it is no different than having a child, or a dog, sitting on the front of the board.
Good luck, take care.
That video was so lovely ❤ so peaceful and I love your outfit
Thanks Laura! Yeah I think researching the outdoorsmen of the wild west is rubbing off on me a bit 😂
Awesome video mate! I bought the itiwit board through your last video, can't wait to try it out!
Thanks Dan, you'll love it I'm sure. I'm definitely a SUP convert now
Hi Steve I've watched this vlog again its one of my favourites, can you tell me the make of the fire box you put your alcohol stove in ,cheers mate 👍
Thanks! I bought this stove years ago in a camping shop in Kingston that's not there anymore, can't even remember what make it is. But if you're looking for something similar, I might be replacing mine soon with a Lixada titanium wood and alcohol stove.

Hey loved your video. I know it was a year ago but I just got my first SUP and was wandering around YT and saw yours. Greetings from the PNW!
Great vid Stevie, thanks so much 😁
Thanks Tim 🙏

That would be great. I love the canal boat versions of that
Brilliant video Stevie
Thanks so much Darren 🙏
fabulous vid stevie thoroughly enjoy your content you are so uplifting. my mate gave me a sup a few weeks ago and have been using it every weekend i am a kayaker but really loving the sup experience.keep doing your thing stevie. cheers russell
Thanks Russell. I'm really enjoying discovering SUP. It won't replace the kayak but is a great compliment to it
Another great video. So hope that you do more sup camping videos, I love this
Thanks! Definitely more SUP camping vids on the way. I'll still be kayaking - especially long distance trips, but SUP is now another weapon in the arsenal
just an absolute lovely video stevie
Great video, I was looking at the itiwit 100 but your video has helped sway me towards a paddle board.
Thanks 🙏

that's amazing video and storytelling vodeo! well done!
Thanks Marco 🙏
Fantastic video Stevie - you have gained a subscriber.
Great video ! Thanks for sharing.
Its so relaxing watching your videos. Havnt watched them all yet but have you taken your kids out on a trip along with camping?
where did you launch your Sup , it looks perfect .. great video
Thanks! That was Caversham lock in Reading, heading downstream
I want to do this but man in Texas it seems so difficult to find areas to legally camp that are primitive camp sites, I really don't want to have to be in an area near rv's or paved camp sites.

Looks so lovely Stevie. How far did you paddle and how long did it take?

@@ilikeitwhenitssunny7067 good idea for a vid
@@StevieWyatt : Yes, you could call the video, Titanic 2. Might have some difficulty fitting a quartet of musicians on the board though.

Picking up others trash. 👍. Good man.
Nailed it again mate! You know paddling isn’t my thing, but always enjoy your uploads! 👌🏻
Thanks!
Packraft or SUP? Wich one do you prefer? Is SUP any faster?
Thanks
G
i love this guy.
Q- Why do you wear a BUOYANCY AID in a Kayak but not a SUP? Love the vids! Keep them coming!
Thanks Ed! On the SUP I wear a waist belt bouyancy aid, which you pull a string to inflate when needed. These make it easier to climb back onto the board if you fall in.
In a kayak the vest type pfd is better because a waist one would restrict your movement while paddling.
I also do long distance in the kayak and my pfd has loads of pockets and a water bladder etc
Et le gilet de sauvetage c est pour les chiens?
Great video! I’m going SUP camping in a few months and this video was helpful, especially the link to the 30L dry bag.
Thanks so much. That dry bag is perfect because it comes with the lashing straps and it's also really well put together. I use it for all my outdoor stuff now, not just paddling.
Good luck with your SUP camping
Cool video
Camping on SUP.
