great change of pace for John Stones to treat himself to some wholesome wild camping after a difficult season.

I'm a 60 year old woman and I've just started wild camping, absolutely love it :-D that's a fab spot youve found, great to see you enjoying nature, enjoy :-D

[@sitibasir8024]

Good luck Madam...amazing

Building a fire. 1. Clear surface and cut a square of turf, place it aside and remove the soil to a depth of a hand deep ie 6 inch place it on a plastic bag aside. 2. Line the bottom with thick wood branches and then build your fire and if possible edge the fire with rocks. 3. Use the fire. 4. extinguish the fire when not needed. 5. Replace the soil and turf and distribute rocks and cover with dead fall before leaving as if you was never there. You will leave a trace from the way you built your fire.

I always say, the outdoors being out in the green stuff is by far the best thing for my mental health! Followed you for some time Liam, keep up the great work! You seem very gen and make hoofing videos 👍

[@LiamBrown]

Agreed bud, cheers

[@grannygray]

"Hoofing" must be an ex Royal lol

[@mungo75]

@@grannygray 'Gen' and 'Hoofing' in the same sentence, definite bootneck took the words right out of my mouth. 😄 Massive amount of respect for all current and ex forces. 👍

[@loudoret353]

What lovely memories you have made for a young man on his first wild camp! I was well into my 20s before I tried wild camping for the first time and it is one of the real joys in my life. Might be worth picking up a DD 3x3 tarp and ridge line to hang over your hammock for a dry night hanging in the trees. I enjoy the simplicity and honesty of your videos, Liam, and thank you for using a natural, peaceful soundtrack.

[@engineeringvision9507]

The best thing is that he finally used something other than a pen knife for cooking. He used a pretty perfect knife actually!

[@EwanMac1999]

Liam mate you need to walk the south west coast path, watching how much you enjoyed Pembrokeshire I think you would love it. It’s around 600miles in total.

[@patricktrevis8113]

Yeah would second that, it’s a great little stomp with some awesome wild camping spots and bays along route. Personally would love to do it again, but with a bivvy in summer would be magic!

[@johno.p.h3126]

Good shout this

[@morgasm657]

I had a cracking 16 days at my own pace walking from Exeter to lands end, years ago, some days I barely walked any distance, other days 20+ miles, great weather and a fair few foraged meals (though I pretty much lived on pasties and cider once I got into Cornwall).

[@marcl3763]

the scenary looked first class/ film quality spot on/ drone shots amazing/ bloody good job! Onward and upwards!

[@johnpirie3800]

Another brilliant video Liam and now that your young cousin has had a taste of wild camping; that will be him starting out on his outdoor adventures. No trashy music dubbed over your videos; just nature doing and offering what it does best. Brilliant mate. Best wishes.

[@Hudsonnn52]

As iffffff! I have taken my rookie mate camping there! Right on the reservoir, cracking spot

[@keithscott4286]

Good to see to young guys oot and a aboot camping and walking Did it for the best part of 40years now still doing it well done good clip🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

[@Adventures_with_Sog]

Scorching the earth with a fire is not a good lesson to teach a new camper!

[@markrichardson5374]

Liam watched a few of your videos now. Ace mate. Totally relate to you. Inspiring me back into the outdoors. Thank you so much mate 👍

[@JasonTheOneAndOnly]

Seeing young uns doing this kinda stuff makes me smile.

[@iainps8142]

Mega content mate as always, no daft music or silly effects just wholesome, common sense stuff. Hope your cousin has caught the bug now - could be like Max and Paddy on tour haha

[@DandA604]

Cracking good video, lads! Really nice to see you partnering up, Liam! 🔥🥓😁👍🏼👍🏼

[@GoodBlokeOutdoors]

Love it love it love it.. keep up the good work bro.. glad to see your cousin seemed to enjoy his first wild camp!

[@Matthew-gy2ep]

I don’t know how feasible this is but a subscriber camp would be really cool. Invite a few willing subs along on a camp, obvs they bring their own gear but you could help some newer people get into the wild camping.

[@peterwhite6683]

Are you suggesting they all bum each other?

[@Matthew-gy2ep]

I’m not saying every subscriber would come, he also wild camps. 😂

[@TannerVaughn-n2c]

Thank you so much for documenting this, it’s awesome and inspiring!

[@dustinrobinson58]

Another class video Liam.Glad to see the youngers giving wild camping a go.Keep em coming m8.👍

[@ollie9171]

England looks so nice this time of year

[@midnightpanthora]

I like all your expeditions, you have some great advice and tips. Plus the scenary is epic. There's some great places to go in UK. Ever considered going to Ireland for a few adventures. Kilarney and the national Park is well worth visit.... Plus I've heard wicklow mountains is nice. There's loads of places I'd love to camp and walk in myself, maybe one day I'll have the guts to try.

[@JayManchester24]

Been a long day, this video will cheer me up thanks Liam love your content

[@matthewrberry]

Love the videos Liam, planning on walking the South Downs Way and wildcamping along it. Would love to see a video about how to choose a wild camping spot would be really helpful for a lot of people who have never done it (especially in more busy places)

[@hikesome]

Great outdoor experience you shared together! Will do my first wild camp in the Balkan mountains of bulgaria. You gave me even more motivation and confidence with this video!

[@themillitantpigeon2149]

Good luck on your first wild camp and have fun!

[@hikesome]

@@themillitantpigeon2149 thank you!

[@LiamBrown]

Good luck Mario, have a great time. Thanks for watching!

[@hikesome]

@@LiamBrown Thanks a lot!

[@inMuro]

It's so nice to see you be like a big bro

[@ithacacomments4811]

My favorite way to overnight camp is to eat dinner at home. Drive to the top of a nearby mountain. Put down a tarp. Put down our sleeping bags. Star gaze until midnight. Get up at dawn. Drive home for breakfast!

[@dylanmasefield3930]

Nothing better to watch while eating my tea on a Tuesday night

[@beefcake1876]

Definitely need to get to the outdoors more, I walk my dog through the cliffs and fields and beaches and such but honestly nothing beats not seeing people for miles and just relaxing outside alone.

[@ruthsdyspraxiacontent]

So agree, more nature less people..haha nature is something I like to be alone with a lot, or with a walking buddy but i prefer places where much more nature than people

[@bennykell3]

How do you know where you are going? Do you use a satnav or old school map and compass?

[@Harry-fk5of]

That spot looks like something from a fairytale, great vid as always

[@dareknaszlaku]

I love your vids by i got one point here. We are always digging grass out little bit so we can plant it back and leave no trace after our fire😉. (Just like a puzzle)Please don’t take any offence, treat it more like a tip.We are all respectful to 🇬🇧 environment :) See you on the trail 👍🏻

[@richardsarcheryreviews]

Hi Liam I'm guessing you did well at the improvised cooking part of training using the metal bins as ovens and the fire bits

[@carlsadventures2361]

Looked a great camp buddy and great inspiring video.

[@deborahmeyers551]

Awsome videos Liam really glad your cousin joined you good company 👍 thanks for sharing 😊

[@alexe9543]

Love your videos mate, have watched them all. What will your next adventure be once you have finished the 15 national parks? Would you do Ireland? Maybe come to Australia or something with a bit of bush camping? Money permitting of course.

[@robertlittlefield1855]

Another really quality video, I agree with someone else's comment about no cheesy music to spoil the natural beauty and the humble simplicity of your comments. But dude, why didn't you at least introduce your cousin? And what did he think of his first adventure? But all in all, great job.

[@jackbrew1]

More like this mate, camping in the woods is where it's at. Get yourself some 550 paracord and dig out your old basha if you still have and you can crash in your hammock in all weathers

[@realtoneilzackattack5931]

brilliant stuff pal - recently found your channel and really enjoying your vids. Getting me inspired - was in Blacks and Decathlon in Sheffield today with my son, eyeing up light tents, hiking stoves etc !

[@michaelnixon1930]

Excellent vid as ever Liam! What a cracking spot to camp!

[@tommycleets5640]

👏@Liam can you give us an exact location of this little lake ?????? much appriciated bud

[@funnyenglish1543]

yes!!!!!

[@Cleetzzz]

I would also like to know 😍

[@theronin365]

He said the peak was shuttling-something so I'm guessing it's not far from that?

[@bertman94]

DD hammocks make a great lightweight tarp, packs down really small and can save you from a downpour in a hammock! Worth a look in. Enjoying the videos though mate!

[@thefun-employedadventurer3011]

Ah lovely was up around here the other week walked over from macc forest to 3 shires n back up shuttlingloe twice I'll have to keep it in mind for a wild Camp soon

[@caloucalai]

Leave no trace and we're all sorted! love a bit a eild camping

[@nixxrunner]

A new job for you Liam: learning outdoor camping with Liam ;-)

[@lara7224]

Such a gorgeous spot you found!

[@BenHikesOutdoors]

Awesome scenes mate! Thanks for sharing 👍🏼

[@Beardedbushman420]

New to your channel. Love your videos after recently finding a love for climbing,walking,camping myself

Been loving this channel recently mate

Yes Liam and cuz! Looks beautiful mate

[@allan4054]

Nice to see the cotton grass out.

[@Nathan.callah]

I remember my first time went up to Scotland done lots of research but spot not too well planned and not too well equipped, interesting to see how far I have come; anyway who better to camp with than you, class video as always cheers Liam.

[@RobertJohnKerrUK]

Ey up….. nice one…. Looked like a great place to pitch 👍…. Enjoyed this 👍👍👍

[@dacat867]

Good to see you making use of all that dead wood that would otherwise just rot

[@wednesday536]

Would love to join you for a hike one day mate. Live just outside the Peak District.

[@shaneriley9727]

you need to get a cover that you attach to the trees as well for your hammock

[@amberdy12]

Brilliant video. Peak District is exceptional

[@mrlionrocks]

Im sure that bit of water is where haze outdoors fell through the ice! Nice camp bro x

[@davidcann6021]

What a great first wild camp especially having someone that knows what they're doing along too.

[@jordanedgeley6601]

Looked like a magical spot that, fucking beautiful

[@asmerom3025]

What! No local beer? Good fat steak looked great cooking on that proper fire. Wonderful natural sounds and views. Maybe you could teach Jamie to do a piece to the camera.

[@shinyzub5120]

Beautiful video!! Hope your cousin gets the bug to go wild camping!

[@charliescott3728]

Smashing video as always ! Is this near macc at all?

[@Jeremy-se2de]

This is amazing but the crime you guys committed against those steaks ... man.

Nice place buddy .. good camp ..steak cooked perfect .. cheers

[@danial17011]

Love it, you should meet up with WildBeare. Would be dream collab

Great video (as always), Liam! What camera do you use?

[@martindiver9608]

thanks for the video Liam tiring to get my best friend from school going but as of yet no luck but maybe 1 day i can persuade him to go

[@Bspoke53]

Great vid as usual Mr B, but gotta say they need to be longer 30 mins minimum I just get into em and they finish! I know you don't like to push past the 20min boundary but we can handle more of you! 👍🏻

[@GokTurkBey]

11:24 on the weather report, when it says 70% rain, it means 70% of the reported area is going to get rain. It doesnt mean there is 70% chance of rain. A common mistake all people make

[@macanhitam5230]

What were those tiny frying pans called on amazon?

[@zambam3]

I hope your cousin had a great time, it looked like fun!

[@nigelsheppard625]

Get a tarp and put it above the Hammock, you'll have a very dry comfortable night. I know you said Jamie's your cousin but you're a really good big brother.

Nice one lads.

[@john101CT]

Liam, thanks for another inspiring, understated, lovely video! Is wild camping technically legal, as you practise it, in national parks and in this video?

[@morgasm657]

Only legal in Scotland on unenclosed land and on most of Dartmoor with some limitations, distance from roads, and a few no camping zones, other national parks it's tolerated provided you leave no trace don't play loud music etc.

[@john101CT]

@@morgasm657 Thanks! Asking from Cape Town, South Africa! It all seems so idealistic in Liam's videos.

Get your self a tarp m8 brilliant. Good video

[@drewlad3626]

Yes lad can’t wait to watch. Just started wild camping myself with the old man and I’m loving it mate, proper hooked. Itching to get out and these videos fill the spot in between trips Top quality stuff keep doing what you’re doing bro 👌🏻

[@drewlad3626]

Did 48 hours at Ranskill last weekend and blanked mate hahah was raging

[@robertjames2645]

Fortunately I think I have experience wild camping. Unfortunately it's because I've been in the British army for 12 years. Basha and a bivvy bag still counts right?
