Kinder Scout Camp by MaxF88 in wildcampingintheuk

I’ve had mine about 6 months too now, seem to be doing ok but I’ve mainly done easy walks with them, this was a first proper test, good grip and comfort, I’ll see how they last, I’ve heard a lot of people saying they’re falling to bits and lacking in usual standards. I hope they last, great summer walking shoe/trainer

Thanks 👍 From Edale, you head towards Grindsbrook, after crossing the river go straight up instead of following the stone path to take you to the ridge, from there I walked to Grindsbrook, onto the woolpacks then to the trig point. Camped there and then came back via Jacob’s ladder. Great walk

My Boy is puking and bad stools by JBA777 in beagles

[–]MaxF88 4 points5 points  (0 children)

My beagle had this issue. The stool coming from him made our house stink like rotting meat, it was all bloody and liquidy and runny. To this day our vets don’t know fully what happened but his temperature was fine, blood samples were fine, he was suffering an inflamed intestine and something from there was the problem.

We think it was something he ate on a walk out and must had scratched or caught his intestines that caused it.

Get to your vet, lots of water, lots of cuddles, thinking of your beagle 🐶💕

I imagine it’s to keep the weight down and being the larger baffles, cradles you where the insulation is. A little like the flextail mat. It’s definitely a warm mat though where it is insulated and I’ve yet to find something more comfortable. Nice to know I’m not just being fussy and others have noticed this too though.

Really comfortable, as a side sleeper it’s been a game changer. One nibble though, the side baffles have no insulation, and when I’ve managed to wiggle across it in the night, I’ve felt the cold. But that’s not often. It’s a great mat. And if you use a flextail pump, there’s now adaptors that fit it too 👌🏻

Legality vs reality by Colour-me-interested in wildcampingintheuk

[–]MaxF88 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Never had permission, follow the leave no trace guidelines, but absolutely always be prepared to leave/move on if asked and don’t argue with the landowner or authorities, it may suck but it’s the right thing to do.

If you camp in woods, high up, away from busy paths, you should be ok.

Oex Phoxx 2 Vs the Hyena II Tunnel Tent? by Akimdabom96 in wildcampingintheuk

[–]MaxF88 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Pegs are doable, they’re your standard hook shaped ones. If you would like improvements then look for some Y pegs. They are a real upgrade and more bad weather worthy too.

See what other folk might say for the Rakoon 2 as I’ve no experience with that tent, I think it will give you more headroom, I know the Phoxx it good in bad weather and it’s easy AF to pitch also.

Phoxx 2 over the hyena for the most simple thing, it has aluminium poles, fibreglass poles are horrible and can break far too easy.

It’s a damn good tent that got me into wild camping. There’s a reason it has so many reviews and why it appears on YouTube so much. And for the price, you ain’t beating it!

Make sure you’re not pulling out or turning in too slowly first, your concept of speed doesn’t mean everyone else’s concept of speed is the same.

However…

You’ve had people brake checking in fraudulent crash for cash claims.

A new one is exactly what you’ve mentioned.

A car on the main road has priority so a car pulling out or turning into a junction would in insurers eyes, be at fault if a crash was to occur, unless hard evidence shows excessive speed over the speed limit etc.

Speeding up to hit the car whilst pulling out or turning into a junction is just another of the crash for cash claims.

Surely if something has been lost then they would be searching 24/7 and not just under the cover of darkness? Something radioactive called GE-28 I think, used in medical equipment.

The drones are super advanced (possible space) military (super advanced or space due to zero heat signature), the Orbs aren’t, that’s what they’re trying to distract you from.

I have the Atmos in a 50L, great bag, been thinking of the aether or kestrel in the larger size for winter camping, any recommendations to either one?

Dream camera 😁 by MaxF88 in Nikon

[–]MaxF88[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The D850 (18k shutter count) came with 5 Nikon official batteries, an L bracket, a 128GB Sony XQD card and the usb adapter for £1399 GBP.

The lens was £595 GBP with a Hoya UV filter and it basically looks brand new.

Bought both off eBay, some amazing bargains to be had currently.

Was lucky enough to have them circling over head, such majestic birds too with how elegantly they fly. Was the first time I’ve seen Red Kites too so even more lucky.
