Right then, EVERY ADVERT that pops up from now on in, WE ALL HAVE TO WATCH BARNEY'S YT ADVERTS to aid his charity - The Royal Marsden. Barney and The Stove Show. Good instruction and thoughts on gear mate. Chipolata's looked the bizzo. I'm having a fry up in a minute. Nice cup of cha too. Don't listen to that Catty's chap 😆 On camera, the colour of that new bivvy looks really good. I think I'll pull the pin and buy me one this year. Fell out of love with my Mil-Tec bivvy. Shame the new bivvy didn't work out and wasn't a "real" one.
Ha ha cheers Tim, glad you enjoyed it. I loved those chipolatas, they were the korkers variety. Cook up really nicely, gonna have to get some more! I've just ordered another bivi, got a genuine issue one this time though so it should perform better than the reproduction version that I mistakenly/drunkenly bought. In my experience this far the issue bivi's have been excellent in all conditions. Thanks Tim as always for watching and commenting, will have to catch up again soon 👍
@@barneysbimbles Many places sell a good solid bit of kit, don’t they. Haha, once bitten twice shy now, eh? I’ve made some silly work related purchases whilst tipsy. Not good 😁 Definitely catch up soon my friend 😉👍🏼 Soon be the weekend, so enjoy 👋🏼😉
Another great video fellow camper. Great kit set up. I'm in the USA. Do nothing but old school Bushcraft. The Brits make excellent old school oilskin tarps, pouches, ECT. There's a couple people in the states, I've bought off of, but I'll have to say, it's a shame that they don't take the pride that the English Bushcrafters take in making a good product. I would say 85% of my Bushcraft gear is British made. Top quality gear, and worth every penny.
Hi Loy, Thanks as always for watching, glad you enjoyed the video. I like a bit of variety when camping, sometimes I take the old school wool and canvas kit. Other times it's good to go with more modern kit. Keeping things simple is usually my objective though. I always try to celebrate UK crafts, but I do think there are some really good USA/CAN makers. I'd love to have a Tentsmiths tarp in my collection and folks like the Hidden Woodsman make great looking rucksacks. US army surplus kit always looks good too, although it's quite hard to get over here. My favourite camping item to come out of the states though has to be the folding Firebox. They're probably one of the best multi fuel stoves on the market. 👍
Great video again Gavin and what a shame about the Bivvy I went out the same day but it got too windy and had to go. I’ve just made a little donation mate and hope your Chanel gets bigger and bigger for you and your charity 👍🏻🇬🇧🌲😊🏕️🤘🏻🔥
Thanks very much, glad you enjoyed it and thanks again for the donation, very generous of you. Message received over on Insta, I'll get a sticker sent out in tomorrows post. I must admit that it was touch and go at one point with the wind as it was picking up quite a bit through the night. I put a bit of faith in the forecast and the trees around me as I knew they were all in good shape. In that weather though, I wouldn't even dream of camping in some of the other woodlands that I frequent, too much Ash with dieback! 👍
Cracking camp Barney, I was pleased to see how much gear you put in that front bag as I have the same one 👍 but I aint used it yet . I think we can all relate to having stove itus 😂 but that little stove really was versatile. Pity about the new bivi Is it for the bin and another British army one (old) to replace it ? Atb Dave
Cheers Dave, that front bag is quite a nice size. I try to keep the kit fairly basic when using the Brommy, but I'm still trying to figure out what system works best for me. I'm tempted to get a slightly larger saddle bag. I've also seen some folk put a rucksack on the rear rack. Plenty of options! As for the bivi, the army issue bivi's are pretty cheap so I've just ordered another genuine British army bivi and am going to re-purpose the reproduction one. Might make a pack liner out of it and some pouches? Many thanks as always 👍
Always enjoy your videos Gavin. I like that Honey stove and Pocket stove [ might treat myself lol.] combination especially if you don't want to be clearing up fire scar in the morning. Pity about the bevvy bag mate nothing worse than condensation and getting cold. Look forward to your next video!👍👍
Cheers John, glad you enjoyed it. I can thoroughly recommend the pocket stove, works a treat with Des' burner. The honey stove, as much as it can be a pain to assemble (particularly with the hive expansion), it's so much lighter than the alternatives and always burns really well. And as you say, easy clean up in the morning too! 👍
I know you don’t want to carry a lot of weight but a 3 by 3 tarp low like that folded in half and easily flipped into an A frame if it rains or gets windy is worth carrying. You have great gear and videos…Have fun stay safe.
Thanks Ken, funnily enough, I do own a 3x3 tarp and use that when I know the weather is going to be terrible. Sometimes I just prefer to carry a small tarp. The bivvy bag ensures my kit stays dry in the event of any rain blowing in under the tarp. Thanks as always for watching and commenting 👍
Cracking camp Gavin, cant beat a chilled camp, I haven't used my pocket stove for awhile, will have to dig it out, I have the original version that's in the pocket tin ,it is good, be good to see more of your stoves, never have too many lol, that bike is amazing, never seen one like that before, very cool, live and learn with sleep system components, enjoyed the video, great cause for just giving, will be soon as I can, good health and safe travels my friend, cheers craig
Cheers Craig, glad you enjoyed the video. I'm really impressed with the pocket stove, going to be using that alot methinks! The Brompton bike is awesome, although it's very much outside of it's comfort zone in the woods as it's a city bike really (they're quite a common site in London!). But they're built tough and plenty of folk take them out touring. It's a nice way of broadening the horizons and being a bit more adventurous. Thanks Craig as always for checking out the video 👍
Hi! Great channel and thanks to your setup I just decided on the Alkit Rig 3.5 - I was pondering for a long time whether to buy or not.. your video sealed the deal .-)
Good Evening Barney enjoy your latest vid never heard of a Brompton before 🚲 it different like a quick question where do you and Des film your videos mate 😊
Cheers Mark, glad you enjoyed it. Brompton bikes have been around for a while now, but you only really see them in the cities. Designed and made in London though and are built tough. I film my videos at various woodlands close to where I live in north Kent, with some occasional trips down to the west country. Some of the spots are located in a woodland that I'm permitted to use and others are close to the National trails that run through Kent. Apologies if that sounds a bit vague, but I try to keep my precise locations fairly private. Ultimately, I do my research on Google maps and OS maps, get out for a walk and recce and search for spots that are well off the beaten track. 👍
Annoying that the bivvy was a let down mate! I know you like the military gear but I use the Alpkit Hunka XL, was out in the woods last weekend and never get condensation and plenty of room!
Cheers Joel, I like the look of the Alpkit bivi's and the Hunka always gets good reviews. To be fair, a lot of Alpkit stuff is pre good. I'm loving the Rig tarp at the moment. But tempting though that is, I've just ordered another surplus bivi off eBay!! 👍
Glad I'm not the only stove addict! I've never had an issue with slugs, but do worry about them, probably more so than other woodland wildlife. I did have a beetle crawl over my forehead last night though, but they're not going to do any harm 👍
@@barneysbimbles I just bought the alpkit windshield as I've been looking for a smaller one for my alcohol stove (s). I like to cook proper food when camping so take a trangia and another stove. Couple of pots and a kettle. Slugs, ticks and earwigs. Bleurgh.
Hi David, glad you enjoyed the video and many thanks for subscribing. That Swiss Army Knife was the Victorinox Forester. It's fairly new to me, but I'm really enjoying it 👍
Thanks, glad you're enjoying the videos. The tea infuser comes from Amazon, just do a search for them and you'll soon find it. As for camping spots, I always try to find a spot that is well off the beaten track, normally does the trick and keeps people/dogs away 👍
The kind-hearted channel host, keep up the good work!
Brilliant video. Great charity. Keep em coming.
Thanks for watching and commenting Andrew, glad you enjoyed it 👍
Well done Barney ... nicely done 🕊🕊
Cheers Tim, glad you enjoyed it 👍
@@barneysbimbleshow we wish all the brompties can do the same as you 😊that will be beautiful, cheers .
Thanks @brompmed they're great bikes aren't they. I just wish you could get off road tyres for them! 👍
We need some short videos. Series can be named a barneys tipple. Where you review your drink of choice
Good idea. Have also been thinking of doing some content on dunking biscuits! 👍
Awesome mate, well done 👍
Cheers Dave, thanks as always for watching and commenting 👍
I really like this camping style, thank you for sharing. I'll also learn from it, haha.
Thank you for the kind comments, glad you're enjoying the videos 👍
That carving is well cool 👍😎

Hi Andy, glad you enjoyed the video and many thanks for subscribing 👍
Cheeky bit of bikepacking aye lovely jubbily mate love the idea of donating the channel funds to charity especially one close to home
Cheers Ryan, glad you enjoyed it. I've got a few more Bikepacking trips planned for the year, it's always good to mix things up a bit 👍

Love it.
Happy spring brother
Thanks, glad you enjoyed it. Happy Spring 👍
Yeah my mrs goes mad at me and always says y do u have to have so many stoves u got a problem u have but she doesnt know bout them lol love ur vids
Ha ha yeah they don't understand do they! Glad it's not just me who is a stove-aholic! 👍
Very nice my friend😎
Thanks Herb, glad you enjoyed it 👍
Nice one Barney, sorry to hear about the bivvi bag. No more beers and online shopping 😉😂
Cheers Dean, yeah need to be careful with those beers and the trigger finger! At least it wasn't an expensive Rab bivi or something! 👍
A shame about the bivvy bag, one to put down to experience now matey. Enjoyed the viddy, its always good to get out.
Cheers Lee, apologies for the long vid and waffle! I've just ordered another bivvy bag!

Bob at Backingpacklight uk is brilliant
Yep, always great service 👍
I’m the same with Brompton bikes, I’ve got down to eight but I’m in London soon for ten days with an empty credit card!
Ha ha, well we've all got our vices and you can never have too many Brommies 👍
I've got the lixada type stove, haven't used it in years. Yours does look better constructed
Great video again Gavin and what a shame about the Bivvy
I went out the same day but it got too windy and had to go.

Honey Stoves are no more.. bob sold up and retired I have the stainless and ti versions of the honey and pocket stove...
Yeah that and the pocket stove. It's a real shame that you can't get them anymore.

I hear you on stoves. Great video. Don't slugs and snails join you when tarp camping?

Hi. Enjoyed your videos, and I've now subscribed. Could you please tell me which model of Swiss Army knife you used in this video. Thank you.
Hi David, glad you enjoyed the video and many thanks for subscribing. That Swiss Army Knife was the Victorinox Forester. It's fairly new to me, but I'm really enjoying it 👍
@@barneysbimbles Thank you for replying. I'll have a look for one on Amazon. I need a new one.
What's the steel tube thing you use for coffee .never seen anything like it
Hi Antony. Unfortunately I'm not much of a coffee drinker. That's a tea infuser for loose leaf tea 👍
Thanks where from ? Great videos .they are inspiring me to get out more .my only fear dogs the woods near me full of dog walkers with dogs off leads
Thanks, glad you're enjoying the videos. The tea infuser comes from Amazon, just do a search for them and you'll soon find it.
As for camping spots, I always try to find a spot that is well off the beaten track, normally does the trick and keeps people/dogs away 👍
Hi, I have a question. What kind of saddle bag is this?
Hi, that is the Carradice zipped roll saddle bag. It's a great little bag that is handmade in England 👍
