Bailed Overnight Camp - Outhaus 4x3 Tarp Tent, Widowmakers & Forgotten Burgers

#bushcraft #outhaus #widowmakers
I was out for an impromptu overnight camp with the Outhaus 4x3 tarp to test a stealth tent configuration and cook some burgers with a good friend Tim who came to visit for a few hours. Unfortunately the high winds that I thought could play havoc did indeed start dropping some debris. I made the decision to leave with Tim rather than risk any windowmakers ruining the night.

Love that tarp and setup, good call on calling it a night and sound advice to anyone who watches your content, great example to the community

[@PrimalNomad]

It's such a comfy setup & really a simple one to get up. I appreciate your words & time watching :)

[@thomasmacias5032]

Glad to see you Liam thank you 🙏 🙏💙🇺🇸

[@PrimalNomad]

Thank you! Really appreciate it :) hope things are good

[@ChiefScout_Outdoors]

Nice one Liam, I love that tarp set up and used it on days out in the woods. If you get the feeling that you should bail, bail. Intuition is good advice. Sometimes you just need the day out to reset, no need for an overnight. I’m loving my BAERskin hoodie, I just throw my pacamac over if it’s raining. Can’t wait to catch up with you and Ellie again. Stay Primal All the best fella 💚🔥

[@PrimalNomad]

Thanks buddy! It's a great setup & one to keep in the bag for those stealth and cosy camps. Great news your loving the BAERSKIN, they're so comfy! Looking forward to seeing you in the future mate. Take care 🙏🔥

[@inahuffman6999]

Its like a mini bakers tent! Love it ❤

[@PrimalNomad]

It is! It's so comfortable too :) thanks for watching 🙏

[@nickielawrence9370]

Think you made the right decision. Loved the video.

[@PrimalNomad]

Thank you! It's hard to make the call sometimes but worth it 🤙

[@BBQDad463]

Thank you for this video. Over my 60 years of camping experience, I have watched countless individuals string up their tarps and tents too tightly, only to see them tear or leak when the dew falls or the rains come. Dry canvas should not be set up tight. Allow 15% for shrinkage, even if it is used canvas and has previously been wet. Leaving a bit of slack will save your tent or tarp. In addition, it will be more nearly waterproof, even if untreated.

[@PrimalNomad]

You're more than welcome! Thanks for watching 🙏 That is a great bit of advice, not only is canvas heavy, putting extra strain on the stitching but as you say you're stretching the weave. 🙏🔥

[@paulliddle8008]

Hey buddy, brilliant set up love it, but the weeeeight 😂😂. Good call to leave when you did no point risking it and the winds really got worse. Respect buddy. We are really looking forward to your live stream and catching up at the show. Love from us to you and El, see you soon. 👍🏻🔥🙂

[@PrimalNomad]

Thanks! It's a heavy bit of kit alright but too aesthetically pleasing haha. I really appreciate the support and kind works.

[@Gunslinger-1962-martin]

You call the shots Liam 🥃 right move right choice 🍻 Always a pleasure watching your videos Liam you olde English/Irish/ Scottish man 🙌 love the outhaus products 👌👍

[@PrimalNomad]

They're brilliant bits of kit 100%. Appreciate your support and time watching 🙏

[@Peteablokeoutdoors]

Live to camp another day mate, gut instinct has kept me safe in the past. Great video mate 🤟

[@PrimalNomad]

Thank you mate! It's always best to trust your inner feeling indeed. Appreciate you watching 🙏

[@davidchase7166]

Great to see that pouch came in handy and a regular part of your kit. Looking forward to the live stream, hopefully it'll be on a Friday or Saturday so we can have a few drinks too. Hope you and Ellie are keeping well? All the best Ben & Yvette

[@PrimalNomad]

Thank you so much for watching and again I can't thank you enough for the amazing pouch it really has become a favorite for my pump kit! I hope we might cross paths again at the bushcraft show this year, if you need any extra temptation you cna use the code PNB15 for 15% off haha! Thanks for watching & take care you two :)

[@ryanjamesthewolf260]

From one hobbit to another who spends as many days under them trees and in the field i can safely say you made the right call and im sure your walk in next time will prove that. The forests and places i go have had a good beating recently but i also take on board the fact thats natures way of resetting things. Secondly that new tarp is lovely, the time and attention to detail on the setup made it all look snug. Hope to see you before spring my friend And look forward to the live stream Ryan

[@PrimalNomad]

Thanks Ryan! It's always a hard call to make after packing in so much kit but definitely the better decision to leave and let the deadwood drop for my next fire. Hope to catch up with you soon & appreciate you tuning in 🙏

[@alt7288]

Great video, thanks

[@PrimalNomad]

Thank you! Really appreciate it

[@fog360]

Nice shelter , and yes high winds get out the woods , I’ve done that before and set up in a nearby open field

[@PrimalNomad]

Thanks! That's a great shout 🙏👌

[@OutdoorWithMike]

A wise man bails from the woods when the wind picks up an idiot stays. 🙂 The tarp setup is great, I used the same setup quite a few times last year with my DD 3x3 tarp. It's a great low profile setup that gives good protection.

[@PrimalNomad]

Very true words! Good to know it's achievable with the DD 3x3 too, it's an extremely comfortable and like you say protectibe shelter. Thanks for watching 🙏🔥

[@WildernessWondersTV1]

Nice tent set up

[@PrimalNomad]

Thanks! It's so nice & low profile

[@timjuk1]

Twas a great evening my man if a tad windy! 😂 💨🍃 Be seeing you soon for a 🙂🏕️🌲💚

[@PrimalNomad]

It was indeed matey, I really appreciate your attitude towards my decision on viking & definitely the burgers too. Can't wait to get a camp in soon 🙏🔥

[@dannygawley]

Tim is the beard new.

[@timjuk1]

​@@dannygawley err no! 😂 it changes size time to time tho 😅

[@WhereGascoyneGoes]

As you say, there's no shame in calling it if it's not safe. I drove up to Scotland from Cumbria in December for a solo wildcamp. On the way up there was a weather warning for strong winds. In hindsight I should have turned back right then, but forged on, got there and trudged around in high winds and driving rain for a bit before deciding to call it. There were numerous trees blown down and it would have been an uncomfortable, nervous night. Glad I didn't stay. I got back on the horse a week later 👍

[@PrimalNomad]

Thanks mate! It's always good to trust your gut and sounds like you made the right call too, it's never something to be embarrassed about when being sensible. Glad you made it back in one peice & got back out. Ty for watching! 🙏

[@lonewolf352]

Can't fault you mate for going home better safe than sorry. Nice tarp tho.👍

[@PrimalNomad]

Thanks dude! Yeah definitely not worth it haha 🤣

[@JasonColeMBCSMIET]

Well done for spotting that, Brush Craft King, I would say that's a spot-on advice call. Them widow makers' tree limbs are killers.

[@PrimalNomad]

Thank you! They really are and not worth the risk. 🙏

[@JasonColeMBCSMIET]

But did you spot the sign as you walked in the trees linked together and touching each other this is a sign from Bigfoot lol

[@mikebass3721]

@@JasonColeMBCSMIET or maybe it’s a sign of the lesser known uk little foot which after a night under the stars looks abominable 😂

[@PrimalNomad]

@@JasonColeMBCSMIET I did indeed haha, he's always lurking somewhere 🤙

[@PrimalNomad]

@@mikebass3721 haha absolutely 😂😂

[@j.radventures6654]

Nice video bro that tarp look amazing

[@PrimalNomad]

Thanks buddy! It's a great bit of kit

[@snorkherder]

Nice Camp and better to be safe to adventure another day, Cheers.

[@PrimalNomad]

Cheers! It's definitely better to be safe when your gut is telling you something

[@snorkherder]

Amen to that Sir @@PrimalNomad

[@BackGardenBushcraft]

Lovely tarp and set up bro. Good call on the winds - not worth the risk when its sketchy gusts

[@PrimalNomad]

Thanks mate! It's definitely not worth it. Hope to see you soon bro ❤️

[@LundysWildcampBushcraft]

[@PrimalNomad]

Thanks Jimmy! Yeah it was a bit of a musical production that night wit the creaks and groans haha. Appreciate the support & will have a look at the robans, always nice too research other kit. Thanks for watching 🙏🔥
