COOKING WITH SHEEP DUNG on The LOFI Stove // Wildcamping In The Mourne Mountains

[@ughzombies]

All videos should feature Gary.

[@StephenJReid]

I’m not sure Gary would agree 😂

@@StephenJReid shows you all Gary knows.... New channel name: "Stephen J Reid - ft. GARY"

[@greyhikes5236]

Gary is not your friend! He's your hostage! 😆Your videos are brilliant and always make me smile! Thank you! 🙂

[@StephenJReid]

😂 I do always feel like I’m torturing him somehow! But he wanted to go camping! 😂

[@pixelpeter3883]

Nice little sunrise timelapse :-)

[@StephenJReid]

Thanks! I had originally set to GoPro to auto start but it didn’t. Thankfully I woke up before the sun came over the mountain 🙂

[@IrelandOutdoors]

That stove is sh!t-hot Stephen 😉 Brilliant that you can literally cook with what's lying at your your feet (or between your toes)! Loved the secret spa, gonna have to pay a visit the next time I'm down that neck of the woods. Gary is hilarious, great added entertainment value, looking forward to you carrying his gear next time 😂

[@StephenJReid]

Thanks! 🙂 I definitely plan on taking a dip in it again. Haha yeah Things going wrong for Gary always adds quality drama. We mostly bicker the entire time we are out 😂

[@Garethfrostturkeythroat113]

Brilliant lol great stove and camp

[@StephenJReid]

Thanks! 😁

[@maxinesmith8167]

When we watch your videos, my husband and I always make the same two observations. 1. your video quality is magnificent- about the best we watch on KZbin. 2. it always seems there are hardly any people on the mountains when you're out exploring. And both of these factors make us very keen to visit the Mourne Mountains!

[@StephenJReid]

Thanks very much Maxine (and husband!), I always try and keep improving my editing and approach to videos. I almost always go camping and exploring during the week. One of the benefits of self employment (although I’ll say nothing about the job security🙈). Mon-Thurs you could hike all day and meet a handful of people or even less. Certain areas (Donard in particular) can be very busy at the weekends.

[@maxinesmith8167]

@@StephenJReid ueah we're both self employed too - well familiar with the freedom vs job security conundrum 😬! Will definitely plan a mid-week jaunt to the Mournes one day soon 👍

[@StephenJReid]

Rock staking how dear you lol 😆 great vid and really must make it down to that spot at some point we keep talking about it but never head down

[@StephenJReid]

Maybe wait until sept or when it’s windy 😂😂

[@theGrowStudio]

Stephen, I hope you're well, friend! Been so busy this summer, but I catch your videos when I can. Really enjoying this one so far. Thanks for always inspiring me to pick up my camera.

[@StephenJReid]

Hoi hoi JB! Thanks very much 🙂 Keep picking up that camera!

[@TheJollyOutdoors]

You guys definition of speed camping just sums up Bear Grylls, and he seems to enjoy it!

[@StephenJReid]

If it’s good enough for Bear!

[@alanrobinson2229]

You are definitely the funniest outdoor guy on KZbin,so grateful I came across your Chanel.

[@StephenJReid]

😁😁 Thanks Alan! Glad you’re enjoying the videos! 🙂🙂

[@Kenbur]

looking at your backlog of vids Stephen and ran across this one. HILARIOUS. I must agree with the other commenters that Gary's demeanor with yours makes for great content. throw in just a couple midges and awesomeness is created!

[@CuriousGoose]

This was a fantastic video. I might have to steal the poop nugget idea.

[@StephenJReid]

Thanks! Gotta try it, free fuel!

[@wildcampireland]

That's an interesting stove and you can burn sheep poo . There's no shortage of that in the Mournes infact there's probably enough sheep poo in the Mournes to run Ballylumford power station for about 10 years 😃

[@StephenJReid]

Hmmmm now there’s an idea to solve the coal problem! 😂😂

[@mikepiper8799]

I laughed so much I nearly produced nuggets of my own...

[@StephenJReid]

😂😂 Hmmmm I wonder if it would work with human nuggets 🤢🤢

[@glassrobot]

I was in the same spot this weekend and the Thermocell backpacker works quite well against the midges. Also in the evening there are currently a bunch of dragonflies in the area.

[@StephenJReid]

Interesting! I had seen reviews saying they had no effect on midges so I’ve never bothered getting one. Did it work outside or in a tent?

[@glassrobot]

I used it outside at the tent door where I spent most of the evening. The tent was full open and it kept the majority of them at bay all evening. Next morning I turned it on 10 minutes before getting out and again it cleared most of the midges. So far it has worked for me and hopefully it will continue to do so and I'm a bit of a midge magnet.

[@StephenJReid]

@@glassrobot interesting! Was it windy? Many midges about in general? I might get one and test it! I had citronella candles, smoky fire and repellent and none of it worked

[@glassrobot]

It was at the weekend and it was hot and there was a slight breeze at best. There was a moderate amount of midges enough that without it I would have been stuck in the tent on one of the hottest days of the year. Anytime I left the area around the tent I was getting attacked within a handful of minutes. The backpacker version is probably the one to go for in Northern Ireland as the gas is much more readily available. You can also use the travel plug mosquito pads I've only done it once but they work too although they are a bit thicker than the Thermocell ones so they don't slide in as nicely.

[@manuelh.4147]

In India they dry buffalo dung everywhere for fuel. So not at all surprising that it works.

[@DavidDoyleOutdoors]

Ok I’m impressed, I didn’t think dung would have enough energy in it to get to a boil, tempted to buy one, will wait until the price comes down. You should know better than to camp in a sheltered valley near water after the last midge fest lol. Great video. Here’s hoping this video gets 10,000 views lol

[@StephenJReid]

Yeah I was really surprised how well it worked! Had as much heat energy as thin twigs and pine cones. The wind forecast changed! Was supposed to be 10-15mph winds.

[@gordonmonaghan133]

Often thought that wood burning stoves are the domain of the bushcrafter rather than the backpacker; especially someone like myself who prefers to camp out in the hills and mountains. ie where does such find available twigs and such, if only equipped with a wood burner? This stove would seem to provide the answer.

[@patrickgriffin1803]

Loving your filming! Thank you

[@StephenJReid]

Thanks Patrick!

[@steveschnetzler5471]

If It would count, I would watch this 10k time just to see you carry his stuff. This reminds me one reason why I don't camp anymore, thanks

[@StephenJReid]

Haha! You mean you don’t camp anymore because Gary makes you carry his stuff? 😂😂

Brilliant. Love the mournes myself tho never hiked them. Your vids are inspiring and making me want to give it a go. Tho im woefully unfit.

[@StephenJReid]

Thanks Charlene! Highly recommend it, start simple, Silent Valley mountain park gets you in the mountains without climbing any. Or start with Hen mountain, it’s only about 1.5miles from carpark. Go at your own pace, enjoy the views

this needs to be funded

Just buy your intro I was laughing a little thought u were gonna survive the midges and then get vid of the ninja fox at that spot, trying to steal anything that's not nailled down. The little bastid lol u have been warned 😁😁😁

Ya the Midges love the smell of sheep 🐑 poo 💩 😂 but I’ve taking the summer off away from the hills and the sea life I must say is amazing with out them 😂

Great video. I'll be watching it regularly to get it up to 10k (will that fool the youtube) I'll do it anyway. 👍🏻

[@StephenJReid]

Haha, I'll be very surprised if this ever hits 10k

[@rogibaer]

Does this Lofi stove work WITHOUT electricity? Like a Bushbuddy, or Solo Stove. I'm thinking, it's too easy to run out of battery. Love my original Bush Buddy Ultra, but this thing is very interesting. Would make some great meals with a wok when powered up, but I'd need it to work without power when applicable, or when there's no choice ... Thanks.

[@StephenJReid]

Nope needs electric, but a small powerbank will keep it going for days, could even run off solar. A lot better than gas.
