November - Fireworks - Guy Fawkes Night. Liked the video, shame about the graffiti, some people have no respect for anything. It is wet and cold here in Belfast, so you are very brave venturing out in this weather to go camping.

[@lyndoncmp5751]

Great video. Enjoyed it. Loved the fireworks. This is the best time to camp for me. Stealth camping is a pain in the summer because too many people are active until 9.00 or 10.00 pm. In autumn and winter you can have camp up at 5.00, make a fire and nobody will come along. Its just far more relaxed for the evening. Cheers.

[@StevieWyatt]

Totally agree, I love how quiet the river is in Autumn and early spring

[@lyndoncmp5751]

Yeah, Stevie. I did a riverside hammock camp on an offshoot of the River Wey, near Shalford, in July. I thought I picked a hardly used trail, and settled down for the night so started to cook about 9.00 p.m. It was still light..... and dog walkers came along soon after out of nowhere. The dog knocked my stove over and took some food. I was on edge after that, thinking they might have called the authorities. Then the next morning more dog walkers came along at 6.30. Again, because it was light. Nobody comes along when its dark. ☺

All your videos are fantastic!!! You deserve a lot of subscribers, thanks for your hard work 👍

[@williamj8349]

Amazing production value mate. Great to see the shooting!

[@StevieWyatt]

Thanks, lovely to immortalise that great day out

[@mikehuntley7562]

Beautifully put together, thanks for sharing, I really enjoy your videos. Cheers

[@StevieWyatt]

Thanks so much Mike 🙏

[@TheAnglan]

Yours is one of the only channels that I keep a look out for new content on. Love these trips you do, hoping for some longer ones in the new year!

[@StevieWyatt]

Thanks, and yes, some more longer trips next year, as we as some really cool short trips further a field. Planning as we speak 😃

[@ilikeitwhenitssunny7067]

Your videos are superb, more like art than a vlog. I’m always hopeful that it’s going to be longer, that we can hang out with you more. I could watch this content all day long.

[@StevieWyatt]

Thanks so much, more on the way 🎬

[@THE-RIVER-RAT]

Good to see your back on the water mate after a 2 months lay off. Thoroughly enjoyed this video. Love that one mate when you said I cover up my kayak to be inconspicuous... And then you put bloody fairy lights up lol Also 6 sausages and a burger and then pudding Jesus mate that would last me a week, I don't know where you bloody put it all, as my mother used to say you must have hollow legs

[@StevieWyatt]

Thanks, it's good to be back. Hence me treating myself 😋

[@Meibeon]

What a peaceful video, well done fella.

[@StevieWyatt]

Thanks so much 🙏

[@Meibeon]

@@StevieWyatt no worries , your SUP one made me laugh when you went on about linen clothing as I've switched to HH sailing gear for the same reason. You've got a knack for beauttiful,relaxing and entertaining paddle/camp videos you can watch with a pint. Good Luck with the channel.

[@barnylondon]

Perfect mate ❤

[@StevieWyatt]

Thanks 🙏

[@mattbuckingham2577]

Meant to tell you, I sent several of your links to a colleague who is looking at Decathlon kayaks, I told him how practical and helpful they are plus you keep it real. Keep up the good work.

[@StevieWyatt]

Thanks Matt, that's really nice to hear. Got some more Decathlon reviews on the way soon

[@tman5634]

@@StevieWyatt Bought the Itiwit 100 yesterday Stevie 😀 Will be giving it a go ASAP & a night's camp

[@mattbuckingham2577]

@@StevieWyatt look forward to seeing them Stevie. 👍🏻

[@cuccumagic]

Thanks

[@StevieWyatt]

Thank you so much 🙏

[@MrDesmostylus]

Nice seeing you paddle around my local spots. That island you camped on once had the world's best rope swing on it. Many happy memories around there.

[@uni-bob-kayaking]

What a great vid 👏

[@StevieWyatt]

Thanks so much 🙏

[@danielechesta4753]

Awesome video! Found your channel searching for x500 reviews and yours are great! But 5 sausages and a cheeseburger for dinner i mean, it's a lot :)

[@StevieWyatt]

Thanks so much, yeah a bit greedy but I thought I'd treat myself after paddling all day 😁

[@mattbuckingham2577]

Thanks for another great paddling video, have missed them, glad to see you out there again. I loved the weather report at the beginning, great effect to the video and as usual high quality in every area.

[@StevieWyatt]

Thanks so much, it's good to be back 😃

[@AirOnTheWater]

Quite the experience and beautifully filmed! Jealous of the weather - had to go to Djibouti with my Itiwit kayak to get some sun and nice temperatures, Stockholm is all about the snow and cold now...

[@lyndoncmp5751]

Snow and cold would make a nice change from mild and boring in southern England. Id swap with you any time.

[@AirOnTheWater]

@@lyndoncmp5751 Hey, a few more weeks of this cold and the train trouble due to snow and we'll be happy to swap for mild weather! It's a deal! Had to crush quite a bit of ice while paddling today...

[@lyndoncmp5751]

Yes its a deal haha. Im an avid hiker and everywhere is just mud from October to March. Im sick of slipping and sliding in mud. I just wish for some days when I can walk on hard frosty ground, or even better..... snow. I only got two days of frosty ground (no snow) the whole of last 'winter' here in Surrey. I'll have to book a holiday somewhere snowy in January ☺ Cheers. Hope you get what you want 👍.

[@AirOnTheWater]

@@lyndoncmp5751 Likewise! Take care.

[@6yjjk]

Lovely! I camped out on an island here in Finland at the end of September, and also enjoyed a night-time dinner with a fireworks show. There's something immensely satisfying about being completely alone while others are gathered somewhere, don't you find? They don't know you even exist, yet you're there quietly having a blast. Unlike you, however, I didn't have the benefit of an unseasonably warm night, and woke to 5C and fog moving across the water. Even inside both sleeping bags, it took me an hour to convince myself to get dressed and start the day! Thankfully it soon warmed up, and my colleague/mate arrived in my spare kayak for our "saaritoimistopäivä" (island office day). Work is much more tolerable outdoors with fire and sausages :)

[@StevieWyatt]

I love it, it's great spending some time alone in the outdoors, good for the soul. I'm psyching myself up for the colder temperatures, it's still pretty mild here though fortunately

[@briansilver6196]

Hi Steve, I'm looking to get my first inflatable kayak, thinking of getting the itiwit touring one man and I'd be doing some 1nighter wild camping ,my question is do you think it would be big enough to get all the camping gear in it ,be a small 1 man tent sleeping bag ,you know all the gear ,would be travelling light as possible obviously, I'd just like your opinion on the kayak, cheers mate

[@StevieWyatt]

I you mean the Itiwit X500 like mine then absolutely. I did a video about how I pack an X500 for a camping trip, including tent. Plenty of room if you pack lightly and efficiently. If you mean other models, then pretty much all the Itiwit 2-person boats are good enough for one person and a backpack's worth of camping gear. Depends how far you want to go though. The longer the distance and the more upstream paddling you expect to do the more difficult the open style inflatable kayaks will be. Sometimes it comes down to what you can afford though! Good luck!

[@ConorBradleyUK]

What's the little stove you're using? Looks great.
