Kayak Camping | 2 Nights Wild Camping on the Devon Coast | Intex K2 Challenger | Camp Life

A 3 day Coastal wild Camping trip using the index K2 Challenger Kayak to access the site by sea.
We camped in a disused quarry located near Torquay in Devon.
We did some fishing, some wild swimming, camp fire cooking, and general camp life.
this was a great Kayak camping experience, a proper outdoor adventure, I was blessed with a stunning sunset and sunrise during the trip.

Lol. You are not awake, at all on the first morning. It's like the slow evolution of conscious man. 😂 Great video.

Very inspiring video. I bought a K2 challenger yesterday after watching this video and the one of you and your daughter drinking coffee by the river. I expect to to the same with mine when pandemia it's over. Love your channel. Greetings from the south of Chile.

Well!! I have managed to watch it over the last 24 hours and what a video you have made! It encapsulates the trip very nicely. I had a great time with you guys and it's my honour to call you a pal. ATB Rob

Absolutely loved everything about this video Dan. One of those that I'll be watching again when the cold weather kicks in! Thanks for sharing mate. Take care, Steve. 👍👍

[@CampLifeBushcraft]

Aw thanks Steve! Really glad you enjoyed it.. I loved the trip, sharing it with the 2 lads was awesome, lots of laughs, great scenery.. the sunrise on the last morning was really special. Highlight of my summer I think. Thanks for watching it mate ATVB Dan

Seaside cliff camping with friends with some bonus Whitney Houston. Can’t ask for more than that in a video. Glad the hiatus is over

[@CampLifeBushcraft]

haha! thanks mate, glad to be back in the game : )

[@toruko-ishibravo2zulu679]

Agree.

[@spoonangelmakes42]

Fantastic Video Dan. My hubby Richard even watched with me and thoroughly enjoyed it. What an amazing place. Keep it secret. Can't believe how clear the sea is there. As for the sun rise, that was so spectacular. That is my favourite time of day but I very rarely get to see it hehe. Well done, best so far x

[@CampLifeBushcraft]

Thanks Lindsey (and Richard) for taking the time to watch it.. it was really fun and a beautiful place to be for a couple of days. . The sunrise was the highlight for me too, they say we should all watch a sunrise at least once a year as it’s good for our mental health. Can’t argue with that. I’m really glad you guys enjoyed it ATB Dan

[@BurtonOutdoors]

Cool spot there Boss... lovely location Dan, enjoyed this viddy in one hit end to end, you looked happy...

[@CampLifeBushcraft]

Cheers mate, it was a great trip, the location was like something out of Jurassic park. We were a bit trapped in amongst the rock so there wasn’t a lot to do, but the scenery was glorious. Taking the boat on the sea was a different experience, got the heart beating 😁

[@BurtonOutdoors]

@@CampLifeBushcraft Yeah perhaps you need a hard shell kayak for the sea etc... been thinking about it myself for ages..

[@CampLifeBushcraft]

I’ve spent the summer following hard shell kayaks on eBay to get a feel for second hard prices.. I might look at getting one over the winter when nobody else is buying.. might get a deal

[@toruko-ishibravo2zulu679]

I've done coastal camping out of a cockpit Canadian-made sea touring 15.5 and sit-on-top USA-made SCUBA-specific 13.5 hull. Prefer offshore islands if unoccupied. State Marine Parks and Provincial Marine Parks of Canada were recommended. Best bad weather camp site was a concrete gun battery built before aircraft were invented. Worst landing was the lee shore of island having the underground fortification; as I had to climb in gale weather at sunset 6 meters of wet vertical sandstone cliff with bow tow rope clenched by teeth. Found a stone ledge to weather storm in my farmer john type wetsuit with gloves, hood, and booties. Put a small pine tree between me and the cliff after pulling bow of kayak up to the tree base for a bowline knot. Have since used fair weather climbs straight up out of hulls for wild camp locations. Have not yet hit my kayak during accidental falls. Use German-made Edelrid 11mm as static rope for climbing out of a floating hull. Include climbing harness wear on outings fitted with prusik/rappel hardware to speed vertical transit once the bow rope is secured to a tree. Harness also speeds safe rescue cable pick-up by helicopters. See tree equipment retailers for information. Had prior climbing instruction from the University of California and various recreational cave exploring organizations. Can't recommend sea cave camps unless there is a rear exit route up to daylight. Have installed metal anchors to assist future climbs by using a cordless 12v drill.

Grate vid Dan that is the best spot iv ever seen for a camp would love to do one like that thanks for sharing mate atb Dafydd

[@CampLifeBushcraft]

Cheers Dafydd, I had a great time, it was an awesome spot, very Jurassic park with the high cliffs and trees .. Thanks for watching mate, it was a long one. Appreciate you getting through it 👍

[@LundysWildcampBushcraft]

Cracking video Dan what a fantastic location some great footage and the sunrise on the last day was epic mate how do you find the blowup cannoe that was long but very enjoyable watched it in 3 bits 😂😂 thanks for sharing hopefully we will meet up sometime next year atvb jimmy 😎 😎

[@CampLifeBushcraft]

Thanks Jimmy, I nearly put it out in 2 parts but decided on a monster film for my first one back after my break.. thanks for getting through it! 😁👍 I like the kayak, it gets affected by the wind and I get a bit twitchy near sharp rocks but having the ability to fit it in the boot of the car is a great advantage.

[@DorsetPiper.]

Great trip and glad you got to experience the camping, travel and company via a different perspective; however you did both remind me of the Chuckle Brothers when you landed at camp. There are some great estuary camp spots in that area which have the advantage of travel rather than one spot - but that could be for another trip eh! Cheers for the upload.

[@CampLifeBushcraft]

It was a bit of a calamity getting out the boats, but my boat is so fragile so I was happy to be wet with an intact boat.. it did crack me up though 😂 I like the idea of travelling up the estuary .. I’m going to be getting the map out later. Thanks so much for watching, this was a long one! I appreciate your time bud 👍

[@DorsetPiper.]

@@CampLifeBushcraft the steamtrain you saw may have been from Paignton to Kingswear, a great family trip if tied in with "the round robin" - combined with ferry to Dartmouth, boat to Totnes and bus to Paignton.

[@Intotheoutdoors69]

I watched Robs video on this ages ago and really want to do this with you lot as I only live just around the corner. Great video really enjoyed this looked really relaxing on the way in and I think you missed the rock getting out of the boat 😂 food looked good do you have a drone or was it Robs. I really liked the timelapse and the night time one as well😁👍

[@CampLifeBushcraft]

Thanks mate.. I think this was Rob and Jons second visit there.. its a beautiful spot for sure! I have a DJI Spark which I took with me, Rob had his monster as well and we shared footage, not sure he ever edited his version of this trip.. Lazy! thanks for watching mate Dan

[@Intotheoutdoors69]

@@CampLifeBushcraft dont know why I didn't get a notification saying you replied. I've only just worked out that this is a different time to the one Rob filmed but I would definitely love to come next time and get you back up on Dartmoor in good weather 😁👍

[@colinp5248]

1st whoo hoooo

[@themotorbikecamper5990]

Would life not have been easier just buying a double skinned lightweight ⛺ much easier than using that tarp, the condensation in that single tent must have been really herrendous at some points, the ferry from Torquay to Brixham goes past that quarry am sure ? After watching the video looks like you've all had a really awesome couple of days away, I'm jealous 😭 now Dan let's see you getting many more trips out and videos on your site, Take care to the next time

[@CampLifeBushcraft]

Shelter wise I used what I had, I’ve got better tents but wasn’t sure on getting pegs in the ground, the little free standing tent did ok.. some condensation in the morning but it wasn’t too bad, it was dry each evening. There were a few bigger boats that went past, not sure if they were ferries or just tourist trip type boats.. I had a great time though, location, company, food all great.. the sunrise on the last day was perfect. I went home very happy. Thanks for getting through the video, it was a long one! Should be a video every Friday for the foreseeable future 👍 ATB Dan

[@TheInnacity]

been admiring the freedom of a canoe trips , but which is better investment , the intex ,or the saveloy , i can sense a stronger hull with saveloy , fabrics. but whats the handling like for them both , nimble, ( realized the inflatables cant cut through without a stronger prow) , or saucer on grease ?

[@CampLifeBushcraft]

I think the sevylor is the better boat all round, but it costs a bit more than the intex.. both handle pretty well to be fair.

[@MJMS88]

Great video. Where abouts did you start your trip? Also did you leave your car in a designated car park close to the start?

[@CampLifeBushcraft]

we parked in a residential street, a couple of streets over from where we set off. dropped the gear on the beach and one of us looked after it while the other parked the car. I genuinely can't remember the place we set out from.. it was a beach within torbay but I was a passenger and didn't know the area too well. but if Torbay is a U shape we were at the bottom/centre of it. hope that helps.
