    How do you spend 16 hours on your own, in the woods, in the dark?
    Well, this is how I did it on this long winter solstice night - thanks to the wonderful food and drink of Flanders.

      Thanks Del. I do worry that the gear breakdowns will make the casual non camping viewer even more bored! Glad you enjoy it though. I know you aren't one for the Chrimbo mate but wishing you all the very best as we turn the corner into lighter nights. Take care pal. 👍

    Hi there! I just found your channel and I like it a lot! Nice and relaxing video's, entertaining and informative. Good tips and your experience with gear, nice! Now, as a Belgian from Ghent, I really love what you did here! If you ever get back to Ghent, just give a shout will ya?
    You took a good beer to cook with. Nice flavour for this. Lovely! Keep up the nice vids

      Very kind words Bernard, thank you! Ghent is one of my favourite places I’ve ever visited, I love it. And to get a thumbs up from a Belgian on this vid means a lot. Will let you know when I’m next in Flanders! Cheers. 🍺 Rich 👍

    Excellent video Rich! Can’t go wrong with a classic tarp setup. Let’s you feel like you are one with your surroundings! That stew was a perfect choice for the longest night of the year and I really enjoyed the commentary. If you end up looking for a new pad I’m a big fan of the Nemo Tensor Insulated. It’s never failed me! Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year to you and your family!

    • @CottonBud
      @CottonBud  2 года назад

      Excellent advice on the pad, thanks - will keep it in mind! Yeah you're right about the tarp, it was exactly what I needed I think - lots of room and air and space - and smoke 😅 I bet things are getting pretty excitable in your house today eh? Magic having young kids in the house at Christmas, enjoy every minute sir. All the very best to you all and thanks for your time! Rich 👍

I’m just hoping we can get the two of them to bed tonight, because it’s pretty much a guarantee we are going to get an early wake-up tomorrow!

    Hi Rich, thanks and always for sharing what looked like a lovely camp. Those Belgians certainly know how to concoct some hearty food and drink. I was in a Belgian restaurant recently down in St Ives, Cornwall and had a great time! Happy New Year to you and yours 👍

    Cracking camp out love that setup with the tarp food looked great talking about cameras I'm looking for a decent one as I only use gopro's but I'm a bit worried about spending lots of cash on something that's not waterproof have a great Christmas atvb jimmy 😎😎👍👍

    • @CottonBud
      @CottonBud  2 года назад +1

      Thanks Jimmy! Yeah it’s hard to find a camp friendly camera that isn’t a GoPro I reckon. Certainly a waterproof one anyway. Mine is a Sony RX100 VII and it’s nice and small and very versatile but there’s an awful lot of menus to deal with and it isn’t weatherproof by any means. There’s always a compromise somewhere with any camera I reckon. Cheers and merry Christmas to you too! 👍
