Good on you for keeping things that way! I love your honest reviews of outdoor kit. It helped me make my mind up about the Nightcat hammock, since everyone on youtube was bloody gushing about it and the only people who hightlighted the problems with that thing were you and Hardy Tempest. Cheers m8 and carry on.

Welcome back matey, glad you had a good holiday. Always look forward to your reviews. A no BS review is wot we like, totally agree about a lot of reviews, complete load rubbish. How can it be an honest review if they haven't used it a few times. 😮😂

Yes Sir Alan, item description in a format of accuracy is only fair and right, one of the reasons I like watching your kit descriptions, and battle plans within your camping sites. Yes I have found lots of people on here who demonstrate their kits do seem to be under orders, so they receive more kit from their quartermasters store..😅 but in your case , your more precise, and don’t seem to be controlled by sales representatives, …..independent fire at will,….definitely the KZbin Field Marshal of camping , and pleasant to listen too….Brian

Hi Allan, glad you had a great holiday, photos looked amazing. All your reviews come across as honest and informative. You’ll never please everyone all the time. I’ve got the BAERskin hoodie, we got them over a year ago, they get worn most days when we are travelling and have really lasted well. Warmth factor is fantastic, drizzle proof but not waterproof, I carry my pacamac in the rear pocket and that works perfectly. Angie has one at the same time and she swears by it as it has a shite load of pockets for the dog walks 😊 Anyways hopefully get another camp in with you sooner rather than later. All the best always Johnny 😃👍🔥

You're quite right about companies supplying kit as a publicity exercise. There's a good few KZbin reviews of these huge power stations which you can take camping to run mains equipment. The power stations cost one or two thousand - companies must like the targeted advertising. I don't!
@jim-bob-outdoors2 ай бұрын
Yep a few take the piss. I can understand companys getting a bit of free advertising, but some go too far.

Good evening Allen. I have to say, if you make the comment "It almost killed me" for a few mils of water getting into the tent, I will have to make rude noises in your general direction. Hahaha. I look forward to your videos. Stay safe and have fun.

As always matey fair play to you for your willingness to to stick to your values, as you said too many people get a gift/freebie call it what you will & straight out of the pack they massively over review it as for the jacket/trouser combo that seems a great bargain would be interested to see where from atb Barry
