The Camping Kev
Hi, I'm Kevin and I love getting outside hiking , wild camping and generally exploring. I love a bargain so am always picking up new and used gear to try out. This channel covers hikes, wild camps and gear tests and occasionally some thoughts on outdoor issues.
I've managed a mountain summit camp for less than £35 - backpack, tent, sleeping bag, sleeping mat and pillow - and a full winter snow camp for less than £100. I love finding random tents to camp in and review, and am always on the lookout for the next bargain.
I answer every comment so do say hello and if you have a few questions then you can always DM me via Instagram.

Finally got around to using a £12 Lixada stainless steel wood burning stove and it's brilliant. A video of a micro adventure with it is out tomorrow night.

Made the most of the heat for a wild camp in the Brecon Beacons. Video should be out tomorrow.

I've not been able to get out for a camp for a while so I haven't had anything to post. However, we've had our first bit of snow so I wanted to share an older video of an amazing snow camp I've had previously in the Brecon Beacons.

Back out for another local camp, my main hill with an empty car and no parcel shelf and glove box left open so potential thieves can see it's completely empty! Out in my £35 Vango Helium 2 UL. A comfy palace compared to my recent Bivy camps.

Well, I think that's me done camping in this location as only my second time parking here and car broken into and everything taken, even chewing gum and snacks gone. I really can't afford this right now.

I know I said I didn't have any other bivys to try... But I have snapped up another on eBay. The Aqua Quest Hideaway. It's big, fairly heavy but seems well featured. Video out this week.

Another night, another tent. This time the Tenplay trekking pole tent. Easy to pitch, 970g and less than £60 new at the moment. It was sent to me for free which is even better. 😂

I shot a new Miners video, Cadair Fawr, meaning I've just got 3 videos to make to fully complete the 40 hill Miners list. You can find all 37 current videos on my hiking channel. Link to my latest video here: https://youtu.be/C7Y97Qq7Gi4

Back out again in another Bivy, this time the Black Diamond Spotlight. It's "wasabi" green and actually seems ok, apart from masses of condensation already...
