WILD CAMPING ON THE ISLE OF WIGHT | GREAT TOMMY SLEEP OUT 2024 | NEW TENT AND GEAR | RATION REVIEW

Welcome to the Isle Of Wight, my first time visiting this magical island just off the south coast of England! I was joined by my walking and camping buddy Ian from Rudge Outdoors on this two day trip exploring the island and wild camping on the East and West coast of it, raising money for the RBLI Great Tommy Sleep Out 2024!
Royal British Legion Industries is a fantastic charity who help war veterans re-enter society and get them the help and support they need. Far too often, veterans return home from conflicts suffering from various mental health issues on account of the awful things they have experienced. This can lead to drink and/or drug addictions, homelessness, unemployment, relationship breakdowns and various other problems. It is reported that 6000+ veterans are homeless EVERY year in the UK through no fault of their own. This NEEDS to change. This HAS to STOP. These brave men and women have served our country and fought for our freedom and way of life. It is now up to us to fight for their welfare and The Great Tommy Sleep Out is just one of many ways we can help them! It involves sleeping outside for at least one night in March and fundraising for this event.
Myself and Ian set up a Just Giving page to raise money for the RBLI whilst doing this challenge. At the time of typing this we have raised an incredible £310! Thank you to everyone who has donated so far. It's not too late to donate, there is a link below to our Just Giving page. All donations go towards the RBLI. Thank you.

    Great adventure. Bit of drama. Nice part of the UK. Maybe the coastguard was a subscriber, just saying hello. Vango banshee looks ok, for one.

    Great video. Good on you and Ian for supporting British veterans, sad that they have to rely on charity. Governments have no problem sending the troops to war not providing sufficient support for them when they're done with them is disgusting. I'm Ex-Australian military and sadly it's a similar situation here. Take care. PS sailed out of Southampton as a kid when the family emigrated from the UK to Australia in 1971. Coast guard may have been weighing up if Yourself and Ian were new arrivals. Cheers

    Thank You, Tom, that was an excellent video to have done, I've been a major supporter of my Allied Brothers in Arms for countless years now. The British Military sets the standard the Free World over for so much. I'd like to mention that the lead in humanitarian works as well! I really enjoyed this and appreciated it on many levels.

    Well done for fund raising Tom. Its awful that there is not enough support for those who have suffered after active service. Fantastic island views, though sadly not equalled by the cider🥴. Better luck next time! The Coastguard were probably just checking that all was OK. They have no right to move you on, unless they were informing you of an unexpected danger. Glad you both saw the sunrise.... Again a really intetesting vlog. Thanks Tom!😊

    Thanks for watching, I agree. Was watching the D day 80 celebrations and those veterans are national treasures as are any veterans. We need to care for them more. No one should have to go to war and fight. But unfortunately sometimes it can't be avoided. I'm going back to IOW end of month for a holiday with Dawn. Campsite camping and sightseeing. Maybe some walking. Scout out some wild camp spots for when we return again to do the coastal path. Apart from the extortionate ferry prices I love it there. Those ciders were AWFUL! 🤣

    Hi Tom, what a fantastic video and some beautiful coastline. I bet you both had quite a shock when the coastguard paid a visit, lol its a shame you didn't have much luck with the ciders on this camp. I look forward to the next video x

    Glad you enjoyed it mate. Definitely could've been much better ciders but they'll be memorable for the wrong reasons! Coastguard helicopter added to the whole adventure, was a bit concerned but needn't have been in the end. Great weekend. Cheers.

    Brilliant Tom, more apt than ever given the new legislation which persecutes homeless people. Always interesting setting up camp in the dark but worth it for that sunrise 😍 two great camps there, look forward to seeing more from the IOW when you start the coastal path

    Great video Tom, and great cause you are supporting. I went to Isle of Wight two years ago with the family and loved it there, but I was also shocked by the ferry price to get there. I got the Vango Apex Compact 200 a few months ago, very similar dimensions to your Banshee 200. I have used it for 14 nights in all kinds of weather and it is a great tent, but its absolutley not for 2 people.

    Great location ! I live between Southampton and Portsmouth and haven't been to the Isle of Wight for many years despite it being so near to me, beautiful, and generally interesting . I think it's a common trap to start taking local attractions for granted !! Loving your rhyming couplets as usual too ! 😂👍👍👍

    Just outside Happisburgh. I visited there recently and I can no longer fit in the hole in the ground that grants you access to the all underground stuff🤣💪 really cool site but if exploring the underground stuff, best to have someone with you up top if you get into any trouble down there.
