    The Cult of Bell Tents

    Send us your Mediocre 5 Star Review This week on the Casual Camping Podcast, Ade and Tim welcome listeners into The Cult of Bell Tents. What begins as a discussion about canvas and centre poles slowly reveals itself to be something far more committed. From their disciplined military origins to their modern rise as the sacred structure of glamping, bell tents are examined with the reverence they clearly deserve. Tim speaks openly about his devotion to both the 3-metre and 4-metre bell tent, explaining why once you’ve experienced standing up, fitting a stove, and walking around like a Victorian explorer, there is no going back. Doubt is normal at first. Acceptance comes later. Ade asks the important questions, mild indoctrination occurs, and by the end it becomes clear: bell tents aren’t just shelters — they’re a lifestyle, a mindset, and possibly a very friendly cult. All are welcome. Knowledge will be shared. Canvas will be praised.

    Caravan, Camping & Motorhome Show 2026

    Send us your Mediocre 5 Star Review This week on Casual Camping Podcast, Ade and Tim head to one of the biggest events in the outdoor calendar — the Caravan, Camping and Motorhome Show 2026! Joined by friend of the show Richard, aka The Fixer, the team take a wander around the largest public-access camping and outdoor show of the year. From tents and campervans to gadgets, gear, and everything in between, they chat through what caught their eye, what got them excited, and what they probably didn’t need but suddenly really want. Along the way, they also speak to a range of outdoor companies, getting hands-on with the latest kit and hearing directly from the people behind the brands. It’s a boots-on-the-ground look at the latest in the world of camping — with plenty of laughs along the way.

    Reading Between The Guy-lines

    Send us your Mediocre 5 Star Review This week on Casual Camping Podcast, Ade and Tim are Reading Between the Guy-lines. From the books that first planted the seed for getting outdoors, to the dog-eared guides that live permanently in a rucksack, to the slightly sauce-splattered cookbooks that fuel campfire feasts, the pair chat about the words that shaped their camping journeys. Expect fond nostalgia, questionable culinary ambition, and the realisation that some “instruction manuals” are really just confidence boosters written by people far braver than us. It’s a relaxed wander through campfire classics, practical pages, and the stories that make you want to zip up a tent, light a stove, and give it a go — even if you have to read the chapter twice first. Pop the kettle on. This one’s a cosy listen.

    Season 4 Opener

    Send us your Mediocre 5 Star Review This week, Ade and Tim return with the Season 4 Opener of the Casual Camping Podcast, and they’re more fired up than ever to be back behind the microphones. After the winter break, they launch straight into an exciting year ahead, packed with big plans, bold ideas, and plenty of time outdoors. In this episode, they share what’s coming up in Season 4 — from the camping adventures already in the diary, to the shows they’ll be attending, the guests they’ll be sitting down with, and the new equipment they can’t wait to get out and put through its paces. They also dive into a proper winter test of both kit and resolve, recounting a snowy camping trip to Edale. The episode features a live recording from a frozen field, capturing the raw atmosphere of winter camping and setting the tone for a season that promises to be hands-on, adventurous, and full of energy. Season 4 starts here — and it’s shaping up to be the biggest yet.

They chat through their favourite moments from 2025 — the big laughs, the bigger mishaps, the standout listener reviews, the shows we loved, and all the camping adventures that made this season their best yet. Then they dive into their Top 5 Christmas gift ideas, perfect for campers, adventurers, or anyone who loves a good bit of outdoor gear under the tree. They wrap things up with a huge thank you to everyone who’s listened, shared, reviewed, or joined us around the virtual campfire this year — and a reminder that they'll be back, bright-eyed and bushcraft-ready, on 6th February 2026 for the start of Season 4.
