[@keithshwalbe6981]

Lovely video fellas. Nice to see a good bunch of mates sharing a fun time together.

[@CampLifeBushcraft]

Glad you enjoyed it Keith, after a year of not seeing many people I'm relishing these meet ups.

[@keithshwalbe6981]

@@CampLifeBushcraft . . Good on you. It was really nice too see.

[@CampLifeBushcraft]

Thanks 🙏

[@ScoutManSteve]

This is so funny, I'm actually crying watching this video. Thanks Dan and Lee for such a fantastic time. I loved the way you portrayed this Dan! The walk was well worth it and I'm glad you enjoyed the curry!

[@ewengillies9826]

Dan thought they needed to work up some hunger pangs... dure did...lol. Great camp out guys with humour as always. Bushyboy Oz.

[@CampLifeBushcraft]

It was a really fun evening, thanks for the invite and for cooking dinner, I felt well looked after! I really enjoyed the walk in the afternoon.. not so much in the morning, my bag seemed heavier somehow!

[@aidinautokanava]

The recipe of the curry would be great 😊👍👍

[@BourneOutside]

A fantastic vid and get together with 3 great YT’s. Some wise words at the end of the video that more people ought to follow! Lots to chuckle at in this one, Dan 😉👍🏼

[@CampLifeBushcraft]

Thanks mate, glad you enjoyed it. Dunno about wise words, hung over words for sure!

[@GraysOutdoors]

Great one Dan. Pity about those pesky bugs. Looks like an awesome camp, t,hose bungees looked good. ATB. Grays

[@CampLifeBushcraft]

Thanks, yeah I was covered in bites the next day. But a fun camp for sure. Thanks for watching mate Dan👍

[@AshOutdoorsUK]

Awesome little buggy camp out! Good to see you all having a nice time, chefs Steve’s dinner looked banging! Going to check out his video now! Thanks as always buddy x

[@CampLifeBushcraft]

its a cool area, but I regretted not having a tent. got a few scabs from itching too much! curry was great, Lee bought wine, all the ingredients for a messy night ; )

[@benhikescamps]

Great video as always Mr CLB. Steve was worked hard on that camp! Breakfast wraps looked lush. ATB - Ben

[@CampLifeBushcraft]

Thanks Ben, yep I was well looked after : )

[@Linleys]

Looks like a great location there Dan. Ants in ya pants not great though! Love the look of the balti curry and the evening chat with the lads. Nice vid again, thanks for sharing :) W

[@CampLifeBushcraft]

I had so many bites after this one, note to self, use a tent next time! It was a lovely spot though, I’ll tell you where when I see you next. Balti was lovely, Steve made a mean supper. Thanks for watching, speak soon Dan

[@laffitteoutdoors]

Y’all are a hoot. Enjoyed the laughs 🤣

[@CampLifeBushcraft]

Thanks buddy 😁👍

[@stetomlinson3146]

I've tried the bungees with my tarp, but after a few camps, I've gone back to the simple ridge line and two knots! I found it more secure, lighter to carry and simple to use! I've also used my DD Jungle hammock as a bug netted bivvi. It's very easy to set up and is a great idea when bugs are about. Thanks for the video.

[@CampLifeBushcraft]

I quite liked the simplicity of the bungees but at the same time I enjoy knots so I’ll probably change it up depending on mood. Lee’s bug proof ground hammock was a stroke of genius I thought. My open tarp not so much 🙄 went home covered in bites.

[@stetomlinson3146]

@@CampLifeBushcraft Been there, got the bites! ;)

[@terrym1065]

Dan👍👍🏕 Another great camp in the woods, bugs not withstanding. Look up to see if any widow makers around, then look down to see if any bugs on the ground...Fire and meal looked amazing, chasing it with brew and more is obligatory. You might feel the effects of the camp for a short while but the memory will last much longer.. Great video, well filmed as always, thanks. Enjoy!

[@CampLifeBushcraft]

those ants were everywhere, they didn't bother me, but the mozzies were a bit much at times, got a few scabs now : ( but it's all good fun.

[@BurtonOutdoors]

The fade at the end 👌 Like a #LeaveNoTrace maestro at work with his orchestra.

[@CampLifeBushcraft]

Hahaha, I like a disappearing camp, really rams home the message. You know how I like to ram it home 😜

Great video again. Don’t think I could have coped with so many bitey bugs, the bleeders always target me

[@CampLifeBushcraft]

You and me both!

[@kennethwalker4701]

Nice video Dan. Thought for sure you would have spotted a few UFOs lol!

[@CampLifeBushcraft]

I wasn’t seeing much after the bottle of wine! It was a good laugh but I’m still paying for it on the bite front 😝

[@Intotheoutdoors69]

Sorry mate I seemed to have missed a load of camping videos of yours. I've just come on to watch solo bivi camp and realised. Great video a short one for you😂 And them pics Lee took on tge mobile was very good😁👍

[@treksntarps]

Enjoyed that , nice one . Hope you didn't get eaten up to much 👍

[@CampLifeBushcraft]

I have a few scabs from itching too much but its all good. might take a tent next time though : )

[@treksntarps]

Had the same problem on a recent overnighter 🤪 had a snugpak jungle bag with a mesh face but like a numpty left it unzipped before I got in 🤔 and slept with some mishevios little buggers who proceeded to feast on the bottom of me legs 😂 anyway take care 👍

[@BurtonOutdoors]

Really enjoyed this Dan, again the time zoomed by, I liked all of it, not especially with me in it though 🤣😂 I liked the timelapse through the trees with the head torch, I'm a sucker for a time lapse... Funny moments captured well too. See ya soon... BYYYYYEEEEE

[@CampLifeBushcraft]

I had been meaning to mess about with hyperlapse through the trees for ages, I’m always too drunk to remember normally 😜 It came out ok, next time I will do it longer I think. Awesome camp xxx

[@BurtonOutdoors]

@@CampLifeBushcraft Yeah... you like it longer 😏

[@CampLifeBushcraft]

😆😆

[@hutchinsonsadventures4678]

great video mate. we just got back from a 4 day break at lake brockman. i will put some pictures up in Instagram late. cheers bud.

[@CampLifeBushcraft]

Thanks Kev, look forward to seeing them 👍

[@welshboyoo715]

What a great place to camp Dan, I really liked the natural sounds of the forest too. Looked like a fun camp. the one frame light painting was cool. The curry looked real good, made me hungry. But why is it called Nan bread? My Nan never made it 😎

[@CampLifeBushcraft]

yeah there were some awesome bird sounds out there! nearly didn't put that single frame in but I couldn't resist, it was a funny night. I got fed and watered which is always a bonus : )

[@paulchearman6261]

nice video from bug central,

[@CampLifeBushcraft]

I was eaten alive! Still scratching now! Really fun though 👍

[@rialobran]

Out with Rob on the moor on Monday...I do hope he brings bungees... Imagine Mr Burton Ooutdoor's face when he realises he was walked in a circle for 2 hours in a 5 acre wood...

[@CampLifeBushcraft]

we did do 3 sides of a square which made me giggle. Rob is looking forward to his trip.. walk him hard! I think he's bringing his fancy trekking pole tent, it'll be a good weather test for it. hope you've got room in your tent for him ; )

[@rialobran]

@@CampLifeBushcraft Don't worry, I have one of the hardest routes on Dartmoor planned for him...shhh, don't let him know yet.

You mind your eyeballs on those bungees! And I bet you forgotten the vitamin B12 again.

Yep, my wife reminded me when I got home.. useful! 🙄😂

@@CampLifeBushcraft Hahah, maybe next time! 😊👍🏼

[@RJOutdoors]

😂😂 that bug net. How did you get on with the bungees mate? I'm a convert lol. I wouldn't leave home with out mine now. Good to see you all out in the woods 😁

[@CampLifeBushcraft]

I only threw that net in at the last minute, glad I did, it offered some relief in the evening. I love the bungees, my mate always has used them and I've ripped the ... out of him for years about it. I think I'm a convert lol. hope your doing ok Rob Dan x

[@thenotorious2312]

What type of trousers you wearing Dan? And do you rate them?

[@CampLifeBushcraft]

They’re Helicon-tex .. I think they’re called pilgrim pants. They’re canvas type material and yes I rate them highly.

[@thenotorious2312]

@@CampLifeBushcraft They look pretty sweet. Thanks bud

[@brettatkinson4325]

Hammocks would have been ideal for them conditions in the new forest,your 'll probably get some stick for having a fire there it's notorious for fires down that way 🔥

[@CampLifeBushcraft]

I'm not a big hammock fan to be honest, once or twice a year is my limit, I fidget too much. but tent with a bug net next time I think.

[@WildCamper]

Bungees!

They work great! Only took 2 years of watching you using them 😆😝

@@CampLifeBushcraft heavy but easy, basically like me 😍

the funny thing was we ended up walking 3 sides of a square, which he was none too pleased about : )

[@anniejones1839]

No way could I sleep with those bugs. Be more sensible next time eh? Hope you and your good lady will make another camping video

[@CampLifeBushcraft]

we are currently planning a trip. justifying to arrange child/dog care for while we're gone. : )

[@billyaitken1713]

I have already included some Aussie bug repellent in your care package contents, I will post it soon

[@CampLifeBushcraft]

I remember these weird coils we used to burn outside when I was there, not sure they worked but I liked the smell : )

[@billyaitken1713]

Dan- they were probably Citronella (like 'Self-Law' suggests). Geranium, mint & lavender are good UK native insect repellents, just rub them on skin or clothing. I've had to re- jiggle some parcel content (more on that later😞). Good camp though🏕🤠👍. Lee's set up was pretty inventive.

[@CampLifeBushcraft]

Yeah I liked it, best use for a hammock I’ve seen 👌

[@mikecunningham8261]

What happened to tink. Why doesn't she go with you anymore?

She is getting old, it wouldn’t be fair to take her during the colder months. She’ll come out in the summer.
