Filming a Wet & Wild video with the Monger 2


OMG what a knob I am!

I've no idea why I have done this, but I do know it left me teath-chatteringly cold and wet.

So here is the story - a commenter to my Naturehike Monger 2 Long Term Review claimed I was talking BS about how the Monger can be set up fly first if needed (such as in the rain). In fact he seemed really annoyed by my review in general, and being the only negative feedback that video has had to date, I wanted to try and help the guy out, so I responded giving text based instruction on how he might go about setting the Monger up outer first.

His response to my reply was even more irate so I offered to oneway in the future make a video about how to set up the Monger 2 in the rain. And that is what I've done this afternoon.

I set up the Monger 2, in my back garden, in the rain on the 26th of November! And, to draw further attention to the fact that the M2 is not the best option to use in bad weather and that I suggest it best used in the Summer, I wore shorts, t-shirt, sandals and sunglasses while making the vid. I am an idiot!

anyway, that vide is being edited at the moment and I hope to get it out next week. It was fun to make, but later, when all was done I regretted it while freezing my nuts off to transfer the video to my Mac!

Modifying the OEX Phoxx II for and all-in-one pitch

Changing the Phoxx series of tents from OEX to make them pitched inner and outer at the same time is easy. It only takes a few minutes of effort, two lengths of cord, a stick and a peg. It's so simple, it's unbelievable. This is the reason I made a video about it. To show how easy it is to remove a lot of campers’ biggest issue with this tent and thus making it a lot more useful and useable. I had a great time making this video. While playing with angels and shots, trying to get the best lighting. I enjoy making these videos. They are giving me the chance to learn more about filming than I would on the moors. I don't always have the time to spare. Whenever I can, I should learn more about my filming. It makes it far easier in the editing process and if you know me at all; you know I hate editing! The video went live just now over (1st December 2022 at 6pm GMT) on my YouTube channel . I hope you find it both interesting and informative and would love to read your views and o...

#DaveTheDog and his best mate Jack! This is mine and Dave’s first visit to Dartmoor in months, so to celebrate we brought Jack along for his first Dartmoor walkies. It’s been good, but while Dave could go on forever, Jack seems a bit tired and fed up now so we’re taking a break at Roos Tor before carrying on. #dogstagram #dogsofinstagram #dogsondartmoor #dartmoordogs #dartmoorwalks
