20 WEIRD & Wonderful Outdoor Gadgets & Gear Under £20

[@LochyMacleod]

So got me some LED lights and a fart machine. Told the wife don't worry its for camping, the man on youtube said so.

[@StephenJReid]

Excellent 🤣

[@nesanesa9547]

Lol🎉

[@epicchannel4724]

Mate you probably don't live that far from me and its an absolute pleasure watching your videos. You really have a talent in presenting and keeping people engaged and i would suggest that you maybe make videos on other topics, celtic history for example. Having a talent for presenting is not as easy as some might think and you're genuinely better than most i see on our local shows.

[@StephenJReid]

Thank you 🙂 I am actually currently researching a story with an Irish/Scottish connection

[@peterdillon2628]

[@Murfiosity]

Congrats on the 100k. Well deserved. Upwards and onwards.

[@sueKay]

Perfect timing! Just starting to build a kit list for a WHW attempt from scratch on a budget...been quite some time since I last did any camping.

[@StephenJReid]

I published a video with my full kit list too: kzbin.info/www/bejne/ZqfclIKKrrmhp5Ysi=qWVOPwKhkB3_F6vO Although quite a few expensive items on there

[@TheCloudhopper]

So happythat you finally got your 100k award. Onto many more videos... from behind the bins and elsewhere. Havea a great christmas and a happy new year.

[@StephenJReid]

thank you 🙂

[@suppelientje]

"stabby stabby stabby" 😂😂 Thanks for reminding me I need to get a knife! And congrats on your award! I've made myself one of aluminium foil for my 75 subscribers.. 🤣

[@StephenJReid]

Bit concerning that the “stabby stabby” made you want to buy a knife 😂

[@StephenJReid]

75 people who think your stuff is good enough to subscribe is not to be sniffed at. 20years ago, good luck getting 10people to watch a video you made.

[@suppelientje]

@@StephenJReid yeah, I'm very happy with every subscriber!! Most of them are from 12 years ago when I was still in horses, so different audience. Guess 7 or so are new, something like that. And a few of the horse people unsubscribed, which I understand. It's just hard to make KZbin like videos enough for views, especially because I want to make 'boring' ones 🙈😅 But thanks for reminding me that people who do subscribe must be positive about the content AND for letting me know you also started somewhere.. which makes sense, but still... Well, at least I'm glad YT made me find your channel. And I still don't like hiking 🤣🤣

@@StephenJReid Awesome, thank you!

[@Leo-fluffy]

Anker makes one smaller than the ugreen charger it’s a great charger Also i recommend the huntsman Swiss army knife the scissors and the mini saw are useful

[@StephenJReid]

@@Leo-fluffy The ANKER charger looks good, although it’s only about 20 grams lighter and only has one output.

[@Leo-fluffy]

@ no, it’s got two ports it’s the whole reason i bought it, the anker 323 is the model it’s tiny for what it is.

[@alilonghair7792]

Yay! I chose the huntsman knife too... the little saw is great and the scissors are the best for getting into packaging with.

[@cherryleafy101]

If we're including a body wash, I'd add a bottle of Perspirex or Driclor to this list. They're super-strength antiperspirants, and the strongest version of Perspirex can protect you from sweat (and thus stinkiness) for 4-5 days. You also don't have to apply it every day. So if you're in a limited-washing scenario, a little bottle of Perspirex really helps. It's only £10-ish for a bottle and they barely weigh anything.

[@mcspikesky]

Sounds healthy

[@Medalea]

Thank you for linking the clothing line! Such a simple thing but it will be very useful during my travels next year

[@StephenJReid]

It was an impulse purchase at the time. My friends laughed when I brought it out in the Bothy. But 10min later everyone was hanging kit on it

[@adventurousdavee]

cheers for the shout out 😊. I might actually get a set of those lights lol , was thinking if someone came out of the dark on a camp it wouldn’t be as scary with those going 😂😂

[@AjaySingh-228]

Great video! I love the idea of using a chemical hand warmer as a sleeping bag warmer. I'll definitely be trying that out next time I go camping Sir

[@johnpaulmurphy8441]

Im a new subscriber, been a long time subscriber of people like outdoorboys etc. your videos are the ones that are actually making me realise i can get a slice of that life in the uk.

Pocket knife always with scissors.

[@StephenJReid]

Used to carry with scissors but they only ever got used for cutting my nails

[@Tom_Bee_]

The victorinox scissors are the best in the game imo

[@davidf4897]

I have a small Victorinox penknife I bought about 20 years ago, which has a little tool for peeling oranges, as well as the usual things, including scissors. Haven't seen one since.

I've been looking at that Highlander chair but couldn't find any info on if it can be rolled/folded up to fit inside your pack, thought I'd finally get to see the answer but alas 😅 was hoping to make it into a semi circle to slide into the pack and then fill the inside with my quilt.

I was literally thinking all the way through u should put the fart machine in, and then there it was 😂👍

[@FordPrefect23]

LED string lights have come in very useful for me or should I say my friend while camping at The Bushmoot. I have a string of blue LEDs that I've rigged up with a joule thief circuit. They'll run for 2 solid weeks on a pair of AA batteries in parallel with no drop in brightness. I hung them up over the entrance way to my mate's tent so the big lummox could find his way in at night regardless of how much he'd had to drink.

[@Hixie101]

I just want to say the LED string lights do have a small useful function. At night if you've had to leave your tent for whatever reason (walk, toilet, get water) you might not know the exact location of your tent, instead of just walking towards the vicinity of your tent, you can use the remote to turn on the lights and you'll know exactly where your tent is. Not vital, but something i do every time now.

[@pixelpeter3883]

Congratz on your KZbin milestone! Don't let it turn into a millstone though ;-) Already had made a note of "surely the remote controlled fart machine needs to be in this listing", and finally, right at the end, there it was! :-) BTW: at the 'mini backpack' at around 9:53 for a couple of seconds the image and sound seem to be out of sync, or at least for me it looked/sounded that way?

[@StephenJReid]

Thanks 🙂 I actually feel more relaxed now I’ve got it, the build up was like a millstone! Glad it’s not hanging over me now. Yeah I overlaid a couple of parts that don’t quite match for a few seconds

[@DougieBegg]

Sadly the fart machine was currently unavailable on Amazon when I looked do you know of any worthy alternative?

[@StephenJReid]

@@DougieBegg I want to think I made them sell out 😂 Sadly haven’t tested alternatives, but you can probably find that same one in other places

Ha! Guess what we got Sam for his birthday (8th) yes the fart machine so he now shouts he's got an itchy bum in the forest plus puts the fart machine behind his grandparents cushions who arent amused, thanks for reminding us to give him a fun childhood! And we'll done on the subscriber award! Can also be used when camping to start fires and flash for help 😂. Ps forestry contractors do work all hours can't imagine anything more creepy than working in a harvester in the dark. Next time you'll have to dress as zombies and scare the he'll out of them 😂😂😂😂

[@StephenJReid]

😂 this is excellent. Hmm not sure I’d want to pretend I’m the walking dead near someone driving a machine that can chop me in half and skin me in 5 seconds 😂

[@wendynulty3867]

@StephenJReid fair point 🤣🤣🤣

[@izznub]

Be aware that some people may not appreciate the multi-coloured lights. Not a problem if you wild camp somewhere by yourself, but if you're camping around other people, or on official camp sites, make sire it's ok with them. I wanted to get some, but I mainly camp in Quebec's national parks and "ambiance lights" are forbidden on all camp sites.

[@PunchMage]

How Quebec of them.

[@claredogyo533]

Here for the fart machine content ❤🎉😂

[@Nhkg17]

I only carry the absolute minimum and use a smaller Swiss Army knife, but even so, yours lacks one essential function - scissors. Especially for cutting nails, they're indispensable. Merry Christmas.

[@StephenJReid]

I found Swiss army knife scissors break when used for nail cutting because I used to do that with them a lot and always broke them. Maybe I have tough naiks

[@Simon_W74]

I think I will have to Unsub, as I have scoured the links to all the other great bits of kit some have been added to my named after a River basket. and was left incredibly disappointed to see no link to the Fart Machine. The most important bit of kit to take camping, Hiking, Mountain Biking or even Kayaking and you forgot to give us a link. I'll have to now go and search for it myself. oh the hassle of that too. As I will no doubt end up looking a some really random stuff and my make an involuntary purchase whilst in shits and giggles mode. So cracking gift ideas or simply items to add to out kit to take with us on trips out. Loved the clip of you winding up your Sister with the fart box as that was a brilliantly fun video.

Those single use hand warmers are rather wasteful. There are reusable alternatives like from Savotta.

[@StephenJReid]

I’ve yet to see a reusable one that lasts for as long, gives out as much heat or is as lightweight. They do produce a bit of waste but it’s less than the packaging for a dehydrated meal or even a couple of chocolate bars or a coffee cup.
