Hi my name is Chris 🖐
I love being outdoors in nature!! Hiking, climbing, wildcamping and exploring everything this fantastic planet has to offer. With some gear reviews and real life tests, maybe the odd bit of bushcraft too 😏😉

I have had these hobbies for a while now but wanted to create a brand new channel so that I can have somewhere to log my adventures and share them along the way. My goal is to inspire others to get out on their own adventures and explore!!

I LOVE the great outdoors, so if you do too PLEASE consider SUBSCRIBING to my channel and lets enjoy the adventures together!

Take care everyone and THANK YOU!! 🙏🏼👍🏻😊🥰

    In my experience if you use a surround wind shield of foil you will boil with one fuel block no problem.

    I wonder what they would have done if you had told them you didn't think it was safe to hike back down the hill in the dark and you were staying put till the morning? Bailiffs and landowners have the legal right to use "reasonable force" to remove trespassers. I think a court might agree with you if you argued that using force in those circumstances was not reasonable,.Unless they were prepared to give you a lift back down on the quad bike.

    Yes it is an absolute joke!! The last couple of years especially it just gets worse around this area. I have stopped going there now even to cut through enroute to any of the kinder area also as every time I do it leaves me aggravated with the things I see. I am sorry to hear you have been having similar experiences.. I hope you manage to find yourself some nice other beauty spots and thanks for the support in trying to prevent these 'arse holes' indeed. Thanks for the comment and I wish you lots of safe, happy and less annoying adventures 😊 Chris 🙏🏼✌🏼

    Chris I've just rambled onto your channel from somewhere else subbed and left a note on my notepad to ask you (and I cant remember why other than trig points) whats the sort of basic kit for camping on Lundy Island for 3 nights? I went out this year on a "full day" trip tides right and max daylight but route marched it and want to do the 3 day stay and explore at a slower pace. what would be the basic and recommended equipment I would need to stay on Lundy for 3 nights?....theres a pub that we won't talk about as I have know idea how to cook! x

    Hi thank you for taking the time to watch!! I don't unfortunately but I could describe it in a private message. Bear in mind the Snake Woodlands area is being patrolled heavily at the moment as there have been a lot of people damaging the area, lighting irresponsible fires and harming livestock unfortunately. So I've heard a lot of rangers have been about.... this was about 30 or 40 min walk after the main snake woods though and tucked down behind a tree line so could potentially be ok. ATB
