Carry On camping featuring the Vango Callao 600xl and the Jackery 1000 UK & 240 UK

A one hour special as we head off to North Wales for a camping trip with our new tent, a Vango Callao 600XL. We also test the Jackery 1000 UK and 240 UK to see if we can keep it going for 5 days in the inclement Welsh weather. All the usual madness is here so come along for the laugh and don't forget to give us a like and a share to help the channel!!!!

With your foil roll a bit of the foil up then rub across the damaged end it will return back to normal

[@TheVlogCoupleUK]

That's good to know, we'll try that next time it happens!

[@johnlakey5011]

Hi Paul and Lee great vlogs if you out my way any time i have a box of very strong tent pegs you can have happy camping J/D

[@TheVlogCoupleUK]

Thanks for that John and a very kind offer on the pegs although we have now ordered some.

[@electronlegacy9051]

So nice to see someone enjoying my neck of the woods - only a 10 minute drive from us.

[@beckypaulley5363]

This is such a lovely,happy video to watch...One of my favourites 😊 Know you have your depressive thoughts Paul...but so do I...and obviously,many others...Not sure you expressing your feelings really helps...As you have done in your next video... Life throws so many curve balls.....but I look to you tube channels that lift me up...I don't need bringing down... Just sayin'... Your musicality...is that even a word?🤔...Your photography,sense of humour...Lee,..The might hound,Hector,...all keep me watching your channel... You may say F O..that's okay...😊

[@TheVlogCoupleUK]

I would never tell you to F.O. Becky you are quite entitled to comment however you want and I do take it onboard and appreciate you taking the time to comment. However, as I often say, this channel is kind of like a diary for us so every now and then I am going to say stuff that maybe others don't like or agree with. If you look through the comments of the said video you will see many like me "keeping it real". Of course it also helps me when I talk to the camera, it's a perverse kind of therapy I guess but I also acknowledge that some will see that as madness or perhaps inappropriate. Moving the vlogs from Hannah the Narrowboat to here at The Vlog Couple was also partly done for this reason, so that I can say what I want without specifically irritating people who just followed for the boat life. Hope you understand. Of course it's rare that I have those low moments anyway (although I do like a good rant every now and then) so rest assured the usual madness will not be going anywhere! PS been ages since I got my proper camera out so I'll have to do some more of that soon!

[@Gorgana68]

We did that with the front of our tent as it was raining but was warm x it worked really well and I was able to cook in the area. Love the videos

[@aptyson1960]

Look into getting some vacuum bags for bedding. Keep bedding dry and clean and when air sucked out then takes up less room.

[@TheVlogCoupleUK]

Lee was thinking that too so great minds think alike!

[@electronlegacy9051]

Ponderosa and Horshoe pass are lovely but yes a stressful drive if you dont like heights - just never attempt it in the snow lol 😆

[@TheVlogCoupleUK]

Fabulous part of the country. Always had a soft spot for Wales as my old band mate was from Burry Port near Llanelli and in both north and south Wales the people have always been so friendly and I have has so many laughs!

[@Lovedogs-i1m]

love Hectors face ❤bye.

[@choccysprinklies6030]

Loved it 😁 Was lovely catching up with you both and the Mighty Hound, the other day...I have severe Jackery envy 😄

[@tinac7921]

Ur very funny thank u for advice j got bank from Halfords as it’s hot car pump and Jumpstart. Also I use pop up loo My advice woul be you buy 4 season zip all around sleeping bag. They have cut the grass on that field and letting it dry out

[@TheVlogCoupleUK]

Thanks for watching … happy camping to you! … Lee x

Good, you don't get to tell me what to say on my own channel fella. BYE.

[@gaatjenietaanprivacy5023]

Nice video! The only advise I give is at 23:24 the cable was rolled around, that gives a drain as well. Completely roll out the cable, like in a circle and it will work as it should.

[@TheVlogCoupleUK]

Thanks for that, never even gave it a thought before.

[@bryanflanigan4604]

Can you just set up in any field or do you get permission from the landowner? I've always hated camping, but I do enjoy watching you guys camping! Can you plug the jackery thingy into the solar panels and run your stuff off it at the same time? So set it up when you get there and forget about it?

[@TheVlogCoupleUK]

We can't just set up anywhere. There are designated camping sites dotted all around the country. I guess you could camp in a farmers field with permission but the only area I know of in England where you can wild camp legally is on Dartmore or Exmore can't remember which in Devon (South West England). People do stealth camping though where they just try not to get caught and others just camp where they like as our Police are far too busy arresting people for hurty tweets than to go after them ha ha. There is a KZbinr called 'offcamping' who camps on roundabouts and other weird places!

[@keithevans8438]

Were did you get the roof bag from and what size is it, I was thinking of getting one for when we go camping but not sure which one to buy. Great vlog by the way.

[@TheVlogCoupleUK]

We got it off good old Amazon! Here's a link: www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B09WMPGC3J/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o08_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

[@lesleycouch6557]

Woohoo! The camping (glamping) video... That looked great fun, glad you had a good time. Plenty of "fnar fnar" moments too. Excellent!

[@TheVlogCoupleUK]

Was certainly more like glamping than camping I must admit but hey, we are getting too old to be crawling into little tents ha ha. Can't wait to go do it all again!

[@waywed]

That were luvly camping! Missed a Barbara Windsor moment but very entertaining nonetheless.

[@TheVlogCoupleUK]

She wasn't having any of that Barbara Windsor stuff lol

[@floatingfreedom6091]

Brilliant to see you having such a great time away guys ! Camping is funny , you’ll morph and change and buy new stuff , it’s just the way it is . We’ve been through 3 types of beds in as many months trial and error . Great to get the jackory review and solar charging feedback . I’ll text ya soon , we found a great kitchen thingy which I know you’ll appreciate .

[@TheVlogCoupleUK]

Happy enough with our main table and storage underneath but would like just a plain half the size for cooking outdoors and doubling up as a coffee (you know I really mean beer) table when we are sitting inside for the night. We got a collapsable washing-up bowl which is quite cool. Next things on shopping list are roof bars as although the roof bag stayed firmly put I would still prefer a bar in front and behind it for peace of mind and we would like a good windbreak - not one of those cheap hammer in pole types, a proper one with guylines etc that fold up into a little bag.

[@iangallacher1458]

Great vlog 👍 been looking into buying a tent for a bit now 🤔 and the 600xl it is😁 thanks guys 👍👍

[@TheVlogCoupleUK]

Thanks Ian, you'll deffo be comfortable in a big tent! Was easier to put up than we expected and there was very little swearing (well apart from when I threw the mallet to Lee and it hit her on the foot 😳)

[@cxgraham]

Looks to me like an area of forest has been harvested in that field on the hill. Could be wrong, it might be a lake on a slope for water skiing.

[@TheVlogCoupleUK]

We did wonder if it was forestry but we could not see any stumps but who knows! I think the lake on a slope was probably it!

[@stevesrepairs5778]

Thanks for taking us on your terrific camping holiday with lots of great fun and it's good to see that you, Lovely Lee and Hector the Mighty Hound had a great time. Take care and all the best. Stevie

[@TheVlogCoupleUK]

I'm missing the tent and the scenery already Steve although I was nit too keen on that windy weather!

[@ShirazChanawala]

Wow I thought it was only me who thought the water there tasted different.

[@TheVlogCoupleUK]

I think water has its regions like accents and is different wherever you go 🤣 … Lee x

[@steveduffy3626]

Loved it guys . Been looking at Jackery units for the camper. great review.

[@TheVlogCoupleUK]

Wouldn't be without one now mate, don't think you would regret buying one for the camper

[@fabalibaz]

Awesome clamping vlog, we use a folding bucket for a bin, packs away nice n small. I’ll save telling you about our invention of a pissomatic for another time 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@TheVlogCoupleUK]

Folding bucket sounds good! But now I'm curious about the pissomatic 😂

[@fabalibaz]

@@TheVlogCoupleUK sent you details on MeWe 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@janecox4173]

Great set up you had there. I am trying to learn Welsh but its not going well x

[@TheVlogCoupleUK]

There was another lawned area near the farmhouse that more people were on (with electric hookup) but we did have the big field almost to ourselves for a couple of the days, it was awesome! I would think Welsh is one of the harder languages to learn!

[@soulmindshypnotherapyholis4786]

Beautiful blog. Love north wales.

[@TheVlogCoupleUK]

It's a fabulous part of the world

[@carolinegorner1399]

The splodge looked delicious. Great scenery too

Let's just say it was an 'acquired taste' lol. Did fill us up though to be fair.

Great view. Wonderful vlog.

Glad you enjoyed it

[@karenkeenan9735]

Great vlog folks, looked like you had a ball! Hector took it all in his stride xx

[@TheVlogCoupleUK]

Hector absolutely loved it and he behaved so well off the lead on the campsite to my surprise as there were sheep in the field right next to us and he just ignored them.

Cheers Jacqui - Lee did actually mention to me that she had never seen me so quiet and relaxed so yes, we most certainly did get some 'us' time.
