Lovely camp! That water looked bracing but I bet it made the hot chocolate all more enjoyable.

[@KeiteiVentures]

I was very happy to have the hot choc waiting for me :)

[@RubbishGimpy]

An excellent mid week video. Its like the olden day's, waterfalls and steam trains. My guilty pleasure is taken photo's of fungi. Get in close and macro them, the endless shapes and types. They remind me of a micro-tree on their own.

[@KeiteiVentures]

Thank you RubbishGimpy :) Yes, fungi is very delicate and does look spectacular close up! Just like mini trees

[@ashtonwoodturnings225]

Loved the asmr sound of the waterfall, Thank you

[@KeiteiVentures]

You're welcome, thank you for checking out my video :)

[@SH-uv6cp]

I had that tent for a bicycle tour. It was great, lightweight and did the job, but I really hated not being able to sit up, so I pasted it on. Getting dressed was particularly awkward. I've also read that book, FANTASTIC! Thanks to @maximusironthumper for mentioning your channel. I'm currently working through your tiny house build. Good luck.

[@KeiteiVentures]

Thank you for watching and checking out my channel. Those tents are definitely compact and only really good for sleeping and reading laying down. I just finished the book - really inspirational - looking forward to reading the 2nd one. :)

[@EireGenX]

Great video thanks. I always grab a few bilberries when hiking this time of year.

[@KeiteiVentures]

They are handy little snacks :)

[@ronniec8038]

Beautiful video and area. That pool where you swam is incredible.

[@KeiteiVentures]

It was great, sometimes it's not always to find a deep enough pool to wild swim in

[@WyeExplorer]

Another great adventure Keiteu where you once again delight in all things natural. A full enjoyable view - I thought the pitch was worth a 9 in itself. I mean radiant colors as you opened the tent up. Yeah, them Parasols are lovely - I've cooked a fair few up before now. I trust you enjoyed. Well, good on you for the swim. I imagine you were buzzing after. All the best out there. Mark

[@KeiteiVentures]

Hey Mark, yes I was super pleased with the pitch, despite the neighbours 😁 The parasol mushrooms were such a welcomed find when I wasn't expecting them. Someone mentioned I should try them in an omelette which is a great idea, glad you've tried them too. The swim 🏊‍♀️ was great, was pleased to have the hot chocolate waiting for me afterwards though 🫕

[@WyeExplorer]

@@KeiteiVentures Good to hear of the pitch Keitei and the mushrooms. Yeah, good back home in an omelette. Ah, a hot chocolate - just the job. Have a great week ahead.

[@goldmine5580]

Lovely video, I thought you placed the music very well and it was a pleasure to watch.

[@KeiteiVentures]

Thank you very much! :D Glad the music came across well :)

[@coling7091]

So up on the Mourne mountains Ireland last year, I picked blueberries I thought. Turns out they are bilberries. Something nice about that :)

[@KeiteiVentures]

They are very tasty and a good snack :)

Hello K... Our world is one of a kind. Just being out with nature and the beauty of what is around us is a gift from God. The weather makes no difference but when it is warm we feel so much better. Try Mushroom omelette with wild garlic awesome. Bilberries has a lot of vitamins in and by what you have done with them makes a refreshing drink. Wild swimming I have done nothing like a refreshing dip in hot weather. Take care and talk to you soon,,,,, Regards Mick,, Chef-on-the-wild-side,,,,,, X

[@KeiteiVentures]

Hi Mick, Making an omelette with the mushrooms sounds great 🍳 🍄 I will try that next time. I do love being outside, the wild bilberries were a great find 🫐 I should try making a cordial with them next. 😁!

[@anthonywestwood8489]

I like how you always take a book on your adventures. But have you ever considered writing a book of your own? As I feel your innate sense of adventure and down-to-earth spirit, would definitely be an inspiration to lots of other people outside the world of KZbin! Thanks for uploading, as I really enjoyed watching!

[@RubbishGimpy]

Well travelled, experienced adventurer, an avid diary keeper, there is definitely a book or 3 in there somewhere.

[@KeiteiVentures]

That would be amazing and on my to do list 😄. Thank you for mentioning it 👍📖 Glad you enjoyed the video, thank you for watching too 🙂

[@Mookiethedog]

Yo KT...another cool camping viddy! I ordered a book recently to identify mushrooms which is all in black and white so I'm quite jealous of you and your books. There are some cool mushrooms appearing recently and hard to be 100% on what they are. Amazing work on the voice over! Great way to make up for a turned off microphone. Cooler though if you could have used that guy's voice in the audio book you play a lot...Lord of the Rings? As for the ticks, you guys have way more than we do. Even in the "tickier" places they're nothing like yours. My favourite moment was seeing your "Stay Cosy" mug at what had to be a very chilly moment of post-swim...and the waterfall. Good on ya for getting in there...twice. It had to feel great after when you were warm and dry again! Peace!

[@KeiteiVentures]

Yo Mookie, it's great to have a mushroom 🍄 book, shame it's not in colour. We've had a lot of rain for August so have had more mushrooms than normal. It is so hard to confirm what the are. Ah, it would have been great to have a Lotr style voice over :D make it quite the epic trip. The ticks are pretty extreme at the moment, I'm constantly checking. I definitely appreciated that hot chocolate 🫕 after my dips 🏊‍♀️ Luckily I was fast enough to avoid the tour group that appeared after I left 👍

Nice camp setup and interesting tent - what tent is that? I don’t recall ever seeing one.

Gotta hand it to you, you don’t half do some walking to and from the camera! 😊. The swim look very cold but lovely and to top it off having wild mushroom for tea 😋

The steps certainly add it :p It was cold but I knew tourists were fast approaching so it was an either - now or never situation :p The mushrooms were a great find :)

Now subscribed as recommended by Max. So far, impressed with your ventures 👍 What tent is it you are using?

[@KeiteiVentures]

Thank you for checking out my videos :) - Max's channel is great! I believe my tent is a 1 person Solaris - off the top of my head - I'll double check when I next use it :)

[@Paulholio69]

I'm always tempted to forage for mushrooms, but I'm certain I'd die!

[@RubbishGimpy]

In Britain there are not many fungi that can kill you out-right. Some can serverly hospitalise you, a lot gives various forms gastrointestinal problems. I recommend learning a few edidble mushrooms which are easy to recognise, Puffballs, Parasoles, Bolete and then enjoy.

[@KeiteiVentures]

It is a bit of a concern at first, especially when you are 99% sure you're correct but also aware that there is a similar looking mushroom 🍄 which is also deadly 😯

[@keithfreeman7725]

Don't forget death caps.... They do kill... no cure

[@flogsometogs4539]

What an amazing place to go for a wild swim can I be cheeky and ask just where it is would love to give it a try myself

[@rare_medium]

From the USA, no idea what a bilberry is.

[@neilclark2245]

they are closely related to blueberries

[@RubbishGimpy]

Bilbo Baggins found some berries in Tolkien Woods. I'm not saying Keitie is a Hobbit..............but

[@FritzFreund]

Looks like a great place to camp and swim. But why do you call it "wild" camping/swimming. Might be an american vs eutopean thing. The Bivy tent is nice, but I prever something like the Nemo Dagger. I've got the 3P because it's easier with kids or a partner. Also, what sleep system are you using? I'm a fan of UGQ quilts with a nice cold rated pad.

[@RubbishGimpy]

To hopefully cause offence to everyone 35 and under, its just become a pretentious sub-catagory to name camps mainy for the KZbin generation. Camping is becoming ever more restrictive in the UK so camping is - paid designated campsite, wilding camping (camp anywhere which is technically illegal) - stealth camping (don't be seen camping). 15-20yrs ago it was all just called camping.😄

[@goldmine5580]

P.S. was that a hint of a north east accent?

[@KeiteiVentures]

Haha yes, I guess I have a north east accent :P

[@swissarmyfan]

A lovely camp, thank you! Your stoic approach to ticks is impressive, I would have been way less chill :)
