Fantastic adventure! Congrats to you, Tom,, on your first alone in your own tent wild camp. And congrats to you, Chris, for brining up your children the right way with adventure and respect for the outdoors as a major priority. Thanks for taking us along on this wonderful wild camp! ATB, Denis

[@MCMOutdoors]

Cheers Denis, he really enjoyed it. Top camp out - ATB

[@Prince_Buster]

That was class and Tom is a credit to you Chris. Great lad indeed.

[@MCMOutdoors]

Cheers! ATB

[@markwinno]

Great to see young Tom enjoying his experience. What a great talker he is too. Very impressive..

[@MCMOutdoors]

He will do well in life 🏕️👍

[@jayh4255]

Good to see you dragging the younger gen out mate, great video hope the lad liked it

[@MCMOutdoors]

Quality night out - Tom loved it!

[@Dollybaby73]

What a great camp. Tom did you proud, what a well spoken lad.

[@MCMOutdoors]

Cheers - glad you enjoyed 🏕️

[@ciaronbarry7147]

Only catching this one today, great video again Chris. That’s a great young lad you have there and it’s great to see his enthusiasm and enjoyment for the outdoors

[@MCMOutdoors]

Cheers, yeah good trip this one. Nice one pal.

[@debradaniels936]

What a lovely lad. Bless him x

[@MCMOutdoors]

He is 👍🏕️

[@Peter-Lindsay]

Great to see the lad getting his 1st wild camp completed. Well done Tom. Great chill time 👍

[@MCMOutdoors]

He had a great camp Pete - cheers

It was great fun this camp ❤

[@MCMOutdoors]

You did great in some windy conditions 🏕️👍

[@cathoutdoors523]

Hi Chris, Great 1st wild camp for Tom. He is a great lad. Sunning views. Really enjoy watching your videos. Have a great weekend. ❤

[@MCMOutdoors]

Cheers Cath, have a top weekend!

[@adriaanrijkse]

Awesome tent the Nammatj 2! On my wish list for now. Just did the full Kungsleden in the Enan and i am blown away by the Hilleberg quality, ease of use and set up in bad weather.

[@MCMOutdoors]

@@adriaanrijkse I would love to hike that trail one day. Yes, many people on KZbin bad mouth Hilleberg tents and I can never understand it, they make the most reliable, easy to use and rugged tents that money can buy in my opinion.

[@adriaanrijkse]

@@MCMOutdoors Highly recommended trail if you have the time! I do not understand the hate on Hilleberg. Saw them everyday in Sweden, and the weather can get really serious there. Yes the price is a lot of money but it is also a lot of tent. Will be saving up for the Nammatj 2 now. Cheers!

[@MCMOutdoors]

@adriaanrijkse I would love an Aston Martin, I can't afford one and never can - but it wouldn't make me hate the car! So yes, agree. Enjoy your Nammatj when they day comes.

[@thewatchman6074]

The young fella just perfectly described the feeling of freedom you get from wild camping. My own theory is that it's a distant inherited memory from our ancestors, in the days when travelling required some form of shelter.

[@MCMOutdoors]

Yeah, I think you're right! Although some people say wild camping is their worst nightmare! I absolutely love being out - totally at peace on the fells, mountains and hills with a tent.

[@andrewstennett3186]

Brilliant camp that Chris and Tom. Deffo chip of the old block there matey. Making memories and respect for our wonderful great outdoors. Every credit for Tom wanting to be a little distance away from you so it gave him the feel of solo camping but also get why you stopped awake for a while. the light show was amazing and rather emotional. Keep up the good work. Cheers Chris & Tom.

[@MCMOutdoors]

Thanks for watching mate, ATB

[@ReneVandyk]

Hi Chris and Tom what A Amazing beautiful Awesome Scenery 😊 like your ⛺️ Awesome 😊

[@MCMOutdoors]

What a great first camp for Tom in a tent solo 👏! Looked like a really nice time.

[@MCMOutdoors]

Lovely night out mate, he did great and really enjoyed the Telemark 2.2LW 👍

Great video as always, nice to see Tom enjoyed his 'first' solo camp 😃🏕

Hi, we've never visited the States but hope to one day! ATB, Chris & Tom

[@michaelblack9813]

You're welcome pal.👍

[@ExploreAboveAndBelow]

Well done Tom you did fantastically well and looked to have enjoyed every minute of it. Chris hope you enjoy the Nammatj for many years to come. I've used one man tents for a good few years, one of which I paid £65 for and still really like, but decided i could use a little more space so I bought an Abisko lite 2. Like you I'd watched Tom Heaney's reviews and decided I'd never put it through what he had plus it ticked a few other boxes i wanted ticked.

[@MCMOutdoors]

Yes, Tom certainly puts the tents through their paces - very thorough. His review on the Nammatj is great. Managed to pick this up at a low price (for a reason :/ ) and sold some of my older gear to fund it - good to recycle the gear for the channel. ATB

[@EireFirst2024]

[@TOMHEANEY100]

Hi Chris, great to see you and Tom out on this camp and that he is learning well on how to manage his own equipment and organise his tent space.. The video is very well balanced between showing the equipment that you used and sharing the experience that you both had... Great to hear Tom's thoughts when you gave him the mic and turned the camera on him... he did really well in every aspect and I am sure had a really positive experience thanks to yourself and setting this all up.. Thank you too for the mention, I really appreciate that and I wish you many happy camps in that awesome Nammatj 2.... best wishes Tom

[@MCMOutdoors]

Cheers Tom, yes - I enjoy your thorough tent reviews mate! First impressions of the Nammatj are great. Plenty of room for me and not heavy although yes, that's subjective. Tom did great - proud of him. Thanks for tuning in pal 🏕️👍

[@WildCampingWelshman]

I’m glad Tom enjoyed it Chris. My lad is itching to get back out with me, which hopefully be soon now that the weather has warmed up. ATB Jiffy 👍🏻

[@MCMOutdoors]

Yeah, cheers Jiffy - I didn't want to take him in the winter so it's good to have a window now where he can get out when he can enjoy being outside the tent and exploring - ATB

[@stuartscaife9313]

Great vid. He's a real chip off the old block.

[@MCMOutdoors]

He loves talking to the camera 🤣

I was going to comment on enjoying the video but I wanted to say because it needs saying, you are a brilliant dad. Well done.

[@MCMOutdoors]

Glad you enjoyed it mate and thanks, ATB

[@craigy1872]

Great to see the lad out with you. I had a garden camp with my boy on Saturday and although he’s not up for an “out in the wild” camp yet, he did say he’d go to a campsite and see how we get on. What’s the story behind the eBay purchase? You never got round to telling 🤔

[@MCMOutdoors]

Cheers mate - I'm going to do a standalone video on the tent situation - hopefully help others out! Hope your in the camp site goes well mate! Will be a proper adventure for him!

[@Conny79]

great vid that Chris, glad your lad loved it. how did you find your tent? comparing to your other tunnel tents.

[@MCMOutdoors]

Quality mate - much stronger. Far more rigid and robust.... Genuinely.

[@RamblingOn]

Fair play lads, great to see a father and son out enjoying a camp. Memories that will last forever 🍀

Was a great experience for Tom and he's looking forward to his D of E mate - ATB

[@matthewcollis6259]

2 types of Dr Pepper & a can of Pringles - the lad was well sorted Chris. What a lovely video mate. I'll have a check out of the Rawhide stuff but won't be joining in the giveaway as I don't like social media (apart from a bit of KZbin) New tent looks good but am intrigued about the Flea Bay story?!?

[@MCMOutdoors]

Thanks for watching pal! Was a top outing! ATB 🏕️

[@luke4266]

Great video again mate, hope I can get my lad into this same as you and your lad as he gets older 💪 quick one, I've been looking at swapping my ME Lhotse jacket for a paramo, how you finding the swap? Any recommendations? Cheers

[@MCMOutdoors]

Alright mate. Couldn't say yet - will be a fair while before I've used it in various conditions. Lhotse sold quickly on ebay.

I'm like you,never lightweight camping,I prefer all my luxuries to be on hand,think my smallest backpack is 85l 😂 I'm a big lad ,6'3 17 stone and have no qualms carrying big loads. Great video and lovely to see the youth getting involved who at some point will carry on your passion when you can't 👍

Hey Chris, nice to see you passing your knowledge onto your lad. Did you swap out your BL Soulo - if so, why did you go with the Nammatj 2

Great video as always mate, it reminded me of first time I took my lad out camping which was around 25 years ago now and he was around the same age as Tom. I hope you both enjoy many more years camping together as we have, we still go several times a year and will do so as long as I can continue. Once the camping bug is set in it never leaves us does it pal. Keep up the great content. 👍

Cheers Darren and yes, I'll carry on for as long as I can get up those hills - after that, I'll direct from base camp 🤣 nice one and ATB

Don't make excuses for your expensive equipment Chris...you've worked for it and it is great to see it in action! Would you rather watch someone testing a McLaren or a them reviewing a Toyota Aygo? Great to see the boy out as well...as you say, the next outdoors generation! Fantastic!

Great stuff mate. Looked like Tom was buzzing. He’s going to need 5000 tents now. And all the stoves in the world. Tent looks great. I’m envious now. So I’ll have to sell one of my livers. Yeah great to see dads and lads out there. Enjoyed it a lot. Hopefully many more for him. Then the solos will start. Then the promotion 😂 then the addictions. I’m rambling. Send winged ferrets for Dave. 👍

[@MCMOutdoors]

Haha, he can get in the loft and clear it out! Nammatj was good. Telemark did great! Yep, hopefully he will meet some mates that did what I did, head off to Betws Y Coed, play 'pain cricket' with aim to hit testicles with rock solid casey from 5m away and neck a bottle of vodka before hitting Crib Goch the next day. Priceless memories. Send wig.

What a cracking video show casing Tom 's first wild camp. The young lad was eloquent and is a natural in front of the camera. The path he is on will ground him in so many ways . I know he will succeed with his DoE award scheme. I'm encouraging my Grandson in the same way ,to learn and respect Mother Nature and the great outdoors. You just can't beat it.

Amazing!! What location were you? Looks beautiful

[@MCMOutdoors]

Was a fantastic camp - I state in the video that I don't name exact locations so as to avoid any unnecessary pressure on one particular spot. I always find the best way is to get out on day hikes and recce potential spots, mark them with pins etc on your phone - good fun and a great way to explore. ATB 👍🏕️

[@michaeljames8534]

You were clearly as excited if not more than young Tom on this one Chris, and rightly so. Absolutely lovely to watch and thanks for sharing your experience. I am guess ming the guy hanging about was probably hoping to see the Aurora. ATB boys 👊👊

[@MCMOutdoors]

Yes, always good to be in a new tent! He was...... but was just something I wasn't happy with so couldn't really relax with Tom being on his own in his tent. A top night, can't beat those podcasts about spooky tales when out camping. ATB pal

Hi - haha, which the Telemark or the Nammatj ? Nammatj means a lone mountain standing at the head of a valley - it's Sami which is a northern Scandinavian indigenous language. Telemark is a lovely county in Norway - would love to do some trekking there!

[@stigfloberghagenphotography]

@@MCMOutdoors The Telemark one 👍

[@gregfountain675]

I absolutely loved this as it brought back some very happy memories of when i went camping with my dad many years ago when i was Toms age, im 42 now but remember it like it was yesterday! It wasnt a wild camp but an adventure all the same.Just me and dad in a field on a windy night in a tent in the Yorkshire dales. I lost my dad to dementia 2 years ago now, he was just 69😢 To see you two out in the wild like this is just superb, father and son making memories. Truly fantastic to see and very nostalgic for me. Im not on insta but my partner watched with me and entered the giveaway 🤞 Remember my question in another video about the nordisk halland 2lw? Correct me if im wrong but the hilleberg looks like the 4 season version im after! Sadly out of budget though. Great video lads, well done Tom, good lad. Keep them coming.

[@MCMOutdoors]

Thanks for sharing your top memories mate - your Dad sounded like a legend as those trips are what it's all about. Memories last forever 👊👍🏕️ Yeah, the Halland I guess is similar as far as being a tunnel tent, but definitely only 2/3 season. Where the Halland shines is the weight and pack size - both negligible so that's a lot to be said for such room. I got this used via ebay, it arrived with almost a tear in it - at a low price - but that wasn't in the description....... A whole other story for another video 👍

[@raymondlogister6828]

great father and son wild camp. I find the Nammatj 2 the best tent Hilleberg tent , what Hilleberg makes.But this is my opinion. The weight is not too bad if you look at how much space you get and then you also get the strong fabrics and poles that exist. And this tent generally does not suffer much from condensation, provided the conditions are somewhat normal. Cheers. Atb Raymond

Really enjoyed the space of it - solid as a rock and very quick and easy to pitch! Impressed with it.
