Bravo for the teabag squeezer!

Thanks Jill 👍

Wow, you are in rock wall heaven...so intriguing to me. Always appreciate you uploads and sure do look forward to the next notification! The down boots are the next on my shopping list. Thanks for the adventure and hope you are keeping well and looking forward to a wonderful weekend!

Hi mate see your channel is doing well. It's lovely around three and loads of history. Great vid catch you soon and ATB

[@DaleyOutdoors]

Cheers mate - going well so far 😊👍

[@grahamcliffe8672]

Hi great video, just one observation the alcohol burner goes inside the pot stand rather than having it on top of the burner, it will also act as a wind shield

[@DaleyOutdoors]

And the last video I did people commented and told me it goes on top… you can’t win with these things 😁 apparently it only goes inside to pack it up and transport it. Either way I guess you have options. For me I’m gonna go back to using the gas stoves I think. Thanks for watching Graham 👍

[@Flexaret]

Some interesting kit, the down boots are great value, used to be you had to buy them for cottage industry folks in the states and they were a fair bit more expensive, same goes for down quilts. Just a tip on the seam sealer, make your own by mixing regular silicone sealer and white spirit, 3/4:1 white spirit to silicone,it needs to be quite runny so that it soaks into the seams and stitching rather than sitting on the surface in a thick layer which will eventually peel off. I use a 30 year old Phoenix Phreeranger that didn't come with taped seams, no leaks whatsoever after using the silicone/white spirit mix. The tongs look good but I'd use a piece of bicycle inner tube to keep them closed for packing. Not sure about the tent, I prefer a tent that pitches with minimal fine tuning, each to their own of course. Good video, keep it up :-)

[@DaleyOutdoors]

I think I just got a bit too happy applying the sealer and used far too much 😁I’m not sure about the tent either. I’ve got another one on the the way to try out soon 👍

[@Flexaret]

@@DaleyOutdoors A new tent? sounds interesting, I'll wait impatiently :-)

[@craoutdoors6827]

Another excellent video, the landhan looks really comfortable alot if people swear by them

Thanks mate 😊it’s a huge tent for the weight and pack size. Like a palace compared to some 😁

A good outing Ben. Tea Bag Squeezer is truly a good idea, it's going on my list. I've been using a silicone spatula with the handle cut down. It's not very precise.

[@DaleyOutdoors]

Thanks Trevor. It’s great for anything that needs turning or flipping over 👍I tried a small wooden spatula but couldn’t get on with it.

[@peakdistrictguitarplayer]

Enjoyed watching this last night Ben, well done mate. Good to see you up here on the Peak District.

[@kevhope7102]

Lots of good tips as usual mate keep it up lovin the vids ...cheers

[@DaleyOutdoors]

Cheers Kev! Thanks for watching 😊👍

[@ianwoodzy638]

Had the Lan shan 2 for over 2 years now with over 70 nights use, I have modified it over this time and sewn 8 extra pegging points with bungee cord, and change the guy line structure so the tent can be lowered somewhat for winter and cold windy conditions, I have fab-sealed it now, as wear and tear had caused silicon breaks and eventually leaked after heavy rainfall back in January, just need a 4 season inner, but I guess I will purchase a Khaki 3UL 4 season and change over the inners, so I have the white for winter and, the Khaki for the warmer weather seasons and stealthier camps! once you have put the tent up, after a few 3 to 5 nights hiking wild camping, you get a good feel of putting up the tent in different environments, terrain and weather conditions, of which in the freezing early autumn in the Norwegian mountain's, and winters in the UK, v cold and in heavy windy rain and sleet conditions, and in the dark, with icy fingers, you learn to throw the tent up a lot quicker! persevere with the tent, it is worth the space it provides, it has also held up in 40 to 55 MPH gusts,

[@outdooradventuresdave]

Hi I got a pocket solar charger for charging phones lights etc that anker looks decent might have a look at that .hope you save and well

[@DaleyOutdoors]

Thanks for watching David 😊 The Anker is still performing well 👍

[@scottmcneill8654]

Cool 😎 video 👍. I've got an anchor power pack pretty solid loads of charge. I don't live too far from the peak District. Could do with a few warm up camping. 😊

[@DaleyOutdoors]

Thanks for watching mate 😊sounds like a plan 👍

[@annebeginn2034]

Aw man I missed it too 😔 and I’d a reminder set. Anyways another great video Ben. I use the IKEA children’s play utensils for my camping utensils lol. You get tongs, fish slice/spatula, like a spaghetti strainer and a mini whisk 🤔. Not sure if that’s everything off the top of my head but they are small and light weight and have stood the test of me practically using them lol. Think the whole set set was something like £2.50. Like the look of your little table, is that from ali express ?

[@DaleyOutdoors]

Great idea Anne - off to IKEA it is 😁the table is a ‘cascade wild’ from valley and peak. They’re quite expensive but there’s a guy making similar ones on eBay 👍

[@KernowCamps]

@@DaleyOutdoors Search for "Novice Wild Camper" on KZbin and you'll find him there. I bought one of his tables and used it for the first time this weekend. It's really good and sturdy and only a tenner!

[@bob_the_bomb4508]

In terms of a table, I’m thinking of packing a very thin (about 3mm) plastic chopping board which would then have 2 uses. Maybe even more uses?

[@solitudeinthewild82]

Great as always, my friend! The camp and nature is, amazing. Enjoy watching how you cook this delicious meals. And the surrounding nature is amazing. Cheers from Russia, bro, and welcome to my channel about Russian bushcraft tips! Regards, Yuriy!

[@James.979]

Hello Ben. I heard you mention you had some condensation challenges on the walls of your tent 🏕 !! Have you given any thought and tried some very small mesh bags of salt in your tent ? I normally just help myself to the free salt in the burger shops and wherever I see them. I carry them in a container (airtight) - about an hour before I crash I hang them from the roof of the tent all night. (Inside) my friend also has them on the outside of his tent as well !! The next morning there is no sign of condensation in the tent. I also feel the atmosphere and “pressure” in the tent “cleaner “ with no blocked up nose or crap on my chest. I also use these salt bags in my campervan all year round to ensure that the outside atmospheric pressure is equalised in the van to avoid the inside windows dripping with condensation. Just remember to change the bags out on a regular basis - if the salt is damp it’s working !! Talking about free stuff - a lot of these coffee shops now offer “Bio Degradable” serviettes from a dispenser. These are excellent to keep a load in your rucksack 🎒 for all types of use, from cheap toilet 🚽 paper to ensuring your utensils, pots ect ect are kept clean if you are on a two or three day trek. They burn 🔥 well and can be buried and the structure will break down very quickly. Thanks 🙏 Take care and stay safe 😷 Enjoy your camp nights: ⛺️🫖🍰☕️ James...

[@DaleyOutdoors]

Thanks for the tips 👍 I haven’t tried anything yet as that was the first time I’ve had any condensation. Canteens/cafes are a great source for stuff but I wouldn’t bury anything no matter how quickly it breaks down (follow LNT rules). Ben

[@phil.clarke]

I have one of those Anker power banks (on an offer too!) - I find the wireless charger function is quite slow so don't really use that feature anymore.

[@DaleyOutdoors]

I’ve only used it the once, it worked well but I left it on there overnight.

[@aaaahahahahahah4300]

Core problem would be the efficiency loss when charging wirelessly. At least it will create some heat. 😆 Not an issue for one night though.

[@aaaahahahahahah4300]

Great stuff thanks.

Nice camp Ben, I’m a massive emoji poo 2, love how much space you get for little weight, deffo going check out the quilt and anker power bank 👍⛺️

I may be wrong but I'm sure you are supposed to put the alcohol stove inside the stand It's twice as stable That's the way I've always used it buddy stay safe Alcohol tipping up is super dangerous 👍👍👍

[@DaleyOutdoors]

Yeah maybe. The last time I used it people commented saying it goes on top. You can’t win with these things 😂 I’m gonna stick to gas I think I just can’t get on with the alcohol stove 👍

[@stuartwebster829]

Ben,thank you for another enjoyable video.I like your discreet style,and I am keen to do some wild camping and the Peak District is a likely destination.Can I ask if you are aware or noticed any tightening of restrictions to stop wild camping? Best wishes Stuart

[@DaleyOutdoors]

I know there have been people on 'patrol' around the more popular spots like Bamford Edge etc. moving people on at night. Stay away from landmarks and paths, follow the LNT rules and you should be fine (obviously not promising anything though 😆).

Good stuff Ben. Looks a great place for a camp does that and a nice area to walk too. Might take Mrs J for a walk in that area tomorrow. Wish this rain would do one so I can get out for a camp myself. At this rate, it will be 2022 before I get a first camp in if I’m waiting for a dry day

It is a great place - definitely worth exploring, it’s just z steep climb up at the end of a long walk for unfit folk like me 😁

[@nathanslattery4903]

I like the idea of this but as I’m a side sleeper I use the trekology which isn’t insulated and I understand these quilts use the insulation of the mat for underneath.

[@DaleyOutdoors]

Yeah that’s right Nathan - I’m a side sleeper too but my Exped mat is insulated. I do love the quilt though - I’ll only use a bag in the coldest winter nights now 👍

[@Mickoutdoors]

Cracking video Ben, really enjoyed it, have you done a review on the quilt ? I'm sure you have I'll have to check as I'm thinking about getting one, as apparently they are supposed to be better for hammock camping, glad the tongs worked out mate was waiting for my shout out but ohhh no you just take the credit 😂😂😂😂, I just put a little laggy band round mine but I like the bread tie thing idea 👍👍 anyhows hope the premier went well and plenty tuned in, was thinking of you as I drank my chardonnay 😉👍👍

How come you seam sealed the tent? Its only the pro that needs seam sealing isn't it? I seam sealed the guy out points only on mine as that's the only place I've had water come through. 👍

Because I blindly followed a video of someone else doing it without looking properly 😂 🤦‍♂️ Yes it is just the pro that needs it, I've just got hold of a 1 person 'pro' so just waiting for a dry day to do it now 😬

[@KernowCamps]

I have the same tea bag squeezers; they do a great job with bacon, sausages and butterflied chicken breast. I reckon anything chunkier might be more of a 'struggle' though. That looked like a really nice spot to pitch up. Did you get disturbed by wildlife? I've been looking at the Lanshan and the cloud up 2. While I like the idea of a trekking pole tent, it looks like bit of a faff on. Anyways Ben, another great vid. Thanks for sharing!

[@DaleyOutdoors]

Yeah the 'teabaggers' don't open very wide but are a great for smaller things. I didn't get disturbed no, there a few mice/rodents in the wooded bit so I just make sue I don't leave any food open to attract them 😁 I prefer the Cloud Up 2 over the Lanshan to be honest, unless you use trekking poles anyway (I don't and end up carrying them just for the tent). I wish they did a Cloud Up 2 in the Lanshan Khaki colour! 😍

[@KernowCamps]

@@DaleyOutdoors Colour is an issue. I much prefer tents in olive green. Makes for a less obvious pitch! On my previous sDartmoor camp I had 'something' sniffing around in the night which was a little nerve wracking!
