Hi Andrew, it is always nice to see your new videos. What a beatiful beachside wild camp in the MSR Access! Hope all the gear makes your camping more cosy and we are willing to join you as you spend the rest of your life exploring your great country! that's meaningful Andrew.

[@AndrewParkOutdoors]

Thanks for the gear guys and for supporting the channel. Back out tonight in it.

[@jeffbanks9955]

3:40 what a gorgeous spot though!

[@johnwick-hw3cm]

Cracking spot Andy

[@AndrewParkOutdoors]

Easy access but nice 👍

[@graemesaunderson4218]

Nice wee video Andrew.Looking forward to see this imported tent that you have ordered from the states. ATB

[@AndrewParkOutdoors]

Cheers Graeme

[@vs123]

Wow atmosphere is great my friend

[@AndrewParkOutdoors]

Thank you 👍

[@audungillerdalen]

Hi , hope it is barents og helsport from Norway. Barents have som great new tents

[@AndrewParkOutdoors]

Had a Helsport which was nice for sure ☺️

[@Gfls00]

The tent arrived today didn’t know I bought it if someone I’m subscribed too 😅 I’ll put it to too good use mate all the best! Nice one for the bonus extra pegs and guy lines too 🙌

[@AndrewParkOutdoors]

Ah great stuff, I was just wondering about it too. I hope you have many happy adventures in it. It'll be interesting to see if my new one lives up to the MSR ?! Cheers A

[@acedecs]

Those star shots were amazing perfect condition’s for it. The jumping shrimp would have drove me mental.

[@AndrewParkOutdoors]

Thanks, yes they give you the heebie jeebies ! 🤣

[@PAADVENTURES1]

Great wee video Andrew! Those wee bugs! Eek

[@AndrewParkOutdoors]

Yeuch

[@bottomlinebassin2001]

Land hoppers, sometimes called lawn prawns, are amphipods in the family Talitridae. Very interesting you had those rascals in your tent!

[@AndrewParkOutdoors]

Thanks for that , gave me the absolute jeebies !

[@TheWalkingKev]

What a beautiful spot - apart from the bugs!

[@BorderRambler]

Another good camp Andrew , intrigued to see what new shelter is arriving ? Atb Dave

[@AndrewParkOutdoors]

Out innit tomorrow Dave, it's an unusual one for sure, 😁

[@ASTHECROWFLIESHIKING]

Great video! ✌️

[@AndrewParkOutdoors]

Thanks!

[@Fellmandave1]

Didn't fancy frying up the killer prawns then? Would have added to the noodles! Did you discover what they were? Looking forward to the next tent!

[@AndrewParkOutdoors]

I dare say it could be the food of the future, but I'll be dead by then :-)

[@adventurebrews]

Nice one mate, looking forward to seeing the new Tent out!

[@AndrewParkOutdoors]

Thanks!

[@underdgk9]

The MSR Front Range is stellar! You should give it a go! Fly only pitches supper fast and is normally all you need. Cheers.

[@AndrewParkOutdoors]

Does look nice !

[@chrisweldon2817]

Interested to see what you've imported. I bought the torch and took your advice to keep it turned away😂 Will do me grand when I'm descending before first light 👍

[@AndrewParkOutdoors]

Hey Chris, glad you got it ok, happy adventures with it ! A

[@iaina3251]

Sand hoppers, urgh! I don't think I've ever seen them anywhere else but Scotland (specifically Ayrshire) - although I'm sure they're everywhere. Great video, as always. Be interesting to see what you've got the US, I'm guessing X-mid, Zpack or a Gossamer Gear DCF?

[@AndrewParkOutdoors]

Nope , though the x mid seems popular !

[@jimsarranadventures3005]

Hi Andrew. Another great video and good reviews on the gear. Not another charger cable forgotten 😢.

[@AndrewParkOutdoors]

Altzheimers ! Or just too much throwing it together at the last moment 🤣

[@PeterBalssuweit]

Can I recommend you to look at the thermarest trekker chair? ;)

[@northumberlandmountainhopper]

Nice camp, beach camps always come with jumping beasts ! I bet it’s the Durston X mid trekking pole tent you are getting I have been tempted, but honestly on the Cheviots with the wind I have to wonder Cheers Adrian Keep em coming

[@AndrewParkOutdoors]

Good guess Adrian but it's not that one ;-)

[@trickofthetrail]

Nice video Andrew. Those Shrimp things underneath the tent were a bit creepy. I'm looking forward to seeing you first impressions of the Skyscraper. I've had one sat in the shopping cart myself all week. I'm just building up the courage to pull the trigger. 😂

[@nuntana2]

Interesting. Ants are a bit like that in the tropics... get all jumpy when get near them or shine lights. Btw, meteorite, not comet. 😋

[@dougieranger]

Great film. Those sandflies are minging. What’s your thoughts on the UV-5R Andrew? I got one this afternoon but haven’t figured it out yet.

[@AndrewParkOutdoors]

Not arf!

[@themunrobagger]

Great vid Andrew 👌 👍

[@AndrewParkOutdoors]

Cheers ma man ☺️

[@murchiesmountains2820]

Great Vlog Andrew😍What a great spot mate..I hate those jumping shrimp creatures 😂..Love your videos mate…I call you the Tent Man as your super experienced on tents..Your reviews on tents are quality 😁👌🏻 Cheers Robert

[@AndrewParkOutdoors]

Thanks Robert, that's much appreciated, "testing gear so you don't have to " 😀

[@murchiesmountains2820]

@@AndrewParkOutdoors Nice one Andrew😁👍

[@completeoutdoors1]

Awesome video as usual, how do you capture shooting stars and time lapse? Thanks for making the videos its really appreciated

[@AndrewParkOutdoors]

Thanks for your support Robbie. It's actually just the Astro photography setting on my Pixel phone that does it, it take a long exposure still and then converts that still into a short moving clip too, handy as I'm tech challenged ! Atb A

[@trytheoutdoors]

Thanks, Andrew. As always a great video. Love the torch. 1. I note you often use the levity rucksack. Would you recommend it for long distance multi-day hiking? 2. Would you consider trying the x-mid? I own the 1p x mid and it's a super tent but do wonder how it would do on mountain tops in high winds.

[@AndrewParkOutdoors]

Yes, absolutely for the levity.. up to a reasonable weight limit. Very comfortable pack. Yes like the look of the X mid too for distance stuff. As you say I don't think I'd take it on summit trips though ( if I wanted a sleep ) :-)

[@trytheoutdoors]

Cheers, sir. Great channel - power to your elbow :)

[@TMxtt]

Those things are called sand fleas, and despite what you might have heard, they do bite on occasion. I live beside the sea, and after a swim last year, noticed some blood on my leg, one of the little critters was in the process of sucking blood from my leg like a tick. Not pleasant. They might only attack in the sea tho, as I walk past them when they're jumping around on the sand all the time and haven't (to my knowledge) had one bite me. I wouldn't have wanted to fall asleep with them in the tent with me either! Great vid!

[@AndrewParkOutdoors]

Oh jeez they bite too, 😔 if I'd known I'd have moved camp 🤣

[@donnavansenior]

Are you getting a Kuiu Andrew?

[@AndrewParkOutdoors]

Would love that storm star Donna but gone a bit lighter

[@evacoutdoors5867]

What is the new tent?

[@AndrewParkOutdoors]

I went for a Stone Glacier Sky Solus, video is up now. :-) Cheers A

[@1adamuk]

Please don't say it's an Xmid you've bought🤣

[@AndrewParkOutdoors]

I'm the only that hadn't bought one ;-)

[@Colinrussellscottishwildcamper]

Nice spot, camped there a couple of times👍🏕🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿👌
