🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿 A Solo, Wild Hammock Camp in The Black Mountains, Brecon Beacons, Wales.

Both the Onewind 12ft Hammock & the Tarp with doors are excellent mate, I have both and you can spread out in the hammock with flat lay and the tarp has great coverage, tie outs etc. GREAT VISUALS ON POST. 👌

Welcome back! Prepared Pathfinder channel is fond of the Brecons as well.

[@CoulterTravel]

Thanks Mate, it’s a great area.

I love them wild trails Ben that make navigation challenging. And I love the Black Mountains. It's a fantastic range you've chosen. I gotta say I don't use mummy bags. I've always used Snugpak, which through the choice of zip line can enlarge giving you ample room. Nice spot - I agree water can send you a bit mad - prefer that quiet. I just felt the forest space there - great flight showing us exactly where. Yeah responsible campers only. Thanks for the heads up. I once cleaned that Bothy up and even got the association to change the burner. Well, good going. All the best. Mark

[@CoulterTravel]

Fair play, Mark. Thanks for the comment my friend.

[@WyeExplorer]

@@CoulterTravel That's alright it's been there a while.

[@CoulterTravel]

@@WyeExplorer yes, I missed this one somehow, sorry.

[@WyeExplorer]

@@CoulterTravel Still a good camp and drone flight.

Thanks so much my friend!! There are a lot to learn in your videos for beginner like me. The way you keep it simple is great :)

[@CoulterTravel]

Thank YOU for watching and I’m glad it helps! We all learn from our mistakes over the years, and if someone else can learn from mine all the better 👍🏻

[@SHawkeye007]

Nice to see you back Ben! Great honest video as always. Looking forward to seeing more, stay safe mate, atb Shaun

[@CoulterTravel]

Cheers Shaun, nice to be back mate 👍🏻

[@SuperDannyboy1974]

Nice one Ben stumbled across your channel and really enjoyed your style! Subscribed! Look forward to more. Cheers Dan 👍🏻

[@CoulterTravel]

Cheers Dan, glad you like it mate 👍🏻

Great video Ben mate...loved this one. What a view you had there and the peace and quiet is what we all are looking for and seldom find. Great idea with the tent pegs, especially with the possibility of rain in Wales...never can be too certain. Loving those tree huggers...any links to them? Heard that pines often leech tar over the tree huggers and that the solution is like a sheath that slips over them. You're right about the cold at 3-4am...happened at my last hang a month ago. All I was wearing was a tee-shirt...so had my underquilt on my daisy chain waiting xnd just pulled it out and used it as a top quilt...worked perfectly. Looking forward to your next video if this one is anything to go by. Much love from a cloudy Kent today

[@CoulterTravel]

Cheers for the comment mate, glad you enjoyed it! Good idea hanging the under quilt from your hammock ready to go! The tree huggers were just from an Amazon search to be fair. I swapped them out for some DD ones also from Amazon that didn’t have the daisy chain parts. They weren’t a lot to be honest, about 10 quid! But not the lightest things in the world.

[@stevetaylor8446]

@@CoulterTravel I've purchased several on Amazon, but they have been a bit narrow compared to previous ones...yours look about as wide as the wider ones I bought before. I saw the DD ones and went for the daisy chains instead with no regrets. Keep up the great video work mate, loving the different setups and sceneries...look forward to your next one buddy and a huge 👍 from me

[@CoulterTravel]

@@stevetaylor8446 Cheers Steve. Yeah I think the daisy chains and whoopie slings definitely make for a real quick setup and take down, which is always a bonus in the Welsh mountains when rain can come at any moment!

[@neoaliphant]

Haven tent looks awesome, by far the best of the tent hammocks, can be used as ground tent with 2 walking poles, I would contact Derek directly, would be great to see a review.....

[@CoulterTravel]

I agree it looks great.. who’s Derek?

[@neoaliphant]

@@CoulterTravel the founder of Haven tent, hes quite contactable,

[@CoulterTravel]

@@neoaliphant oh okay cool, that would be a good idea! I’ll get in touch 👍🏻

[@neoaliphant]

@@CoulterTravel I expect he wouldnt mind a review video being done of it, it does seem to tick the box for people that like lying flat, Im tempted myself. love the fact that its a tent as well, a hole sleep system

[@CoulterTravel]

@@neoaliphant yeah it definitely looks the best out of all of them. Sounds like it could be a complete game changer!

[@neoaliphant]

bonus points for not be tempted with the fire, so much reckless wildfires caused, good to lead by example.

[@CoulterTravel]

Yeah it just didn’t feel right in that spot! Way too dry. Then next day would have been fine 😂

[@neoaliphant]

its bothy, rhymes with broth, not camera booth

[@CoulterTravel]

Agh, so I was wrong on both counts 😂👍🏻

[@CoulterTravel]

Actually no, I was right with on pronunciation then, just not the other, haha, just realised watching it back… I still get it wrong next time I come across one!

[@chapman9230]

Single F pronounced as a v in English

[@CoulterTravel]

Thanks!

[@TimmyBobinson]

25kg haha!

[@CoulterTravel]

Why’s that haha?

[@patrickevans8940]

Respect to you Ben, 25kg over that terrain Excellent video

[@CoulterTravel]

I’m not going to lie and say it was miles SAS style! Only a few, but still a bastard up those hills 😂

[@WyeExplorer]

@@CoulterTravel Hey, Ben it was a decent adventure. I left a comment - fairly reasonable. Hey, my dad and lofty used to run SAS selection. Peace.

[@CoulterTravel]

@@WyeExplorer maximum respect to your dad, and lofty, my friend 👍🏻

[@WyeExplorer]

@@CoulterTravel Yeah, they were in the regiment many years. There's not a lot they didn't know about it.

[@countesscable]

When you’re in Wales…never rely on the fact it looks dry!!
