    The Barter Barn

    Send us your Mediocre 5 Star Review This week Tim and Ade unpack their wild weekend running The Barter Barn at The Bushcraft Show — a stall that somehow became the busiest spot on site and raised a small fortune for charity in the process. Think constant crowds, premium gear flying in and out, and trades so bizarre they’ll live forever in podcast lore (yes, including the wedding dress). From a kid swapping foraged mint for a water bladder, to Damascus knives, Dutch ovens, elf costumes, and a dedicated knife table that appeared out of necessity, the lads relive the beautiful madness of running a no‑cash trading post in 35‑degree heat. They also talk about being roped onto the main stage to run a charity auction — unprepared, slightly terrified, and absolutely smashing it with over £4,000 raised. Add in community moments, old friends, new faces, Scouts everywhere, and Ade completing all three fire‑making methods like some sort of bushcraft wizard, and you’ve got a packed episode. It’s warm, funny, chaotic, and full of the joy that makes the bushcraft community what it is.

    Europe's Largest Campsite

    Send us your Mediocre 5 Star Review This week on Casual Camping Podcast, head with us to Shell Island in Wales — officially Europe’s largest campsite — to find out whether 400 acres of camping paradise really deserves its legendary reputation. From clifftop sea views and giant sandy beaches to woodland hammock spots and dunes that make you feel completely off-grid, you’ll hear why this place keeps drawing campers back year after year. You’ll also join Tim as he tests his brand-new Vango Sierra TC Air 300 in some proper coastal wind, while Ade returns to his favourite Pembrokeshire campsite armed with his Snowpeak Grandberg, a tent stove and a rather noisy flue pipe.  Throw in dolphins in the bay, tidal causeways, Shell Island IPA, and preparations for a scorching-hot Bushcraft Show weekend, and you’ve got another laugh-filled episode packed with campsite tips, gear chat, and the usual camping nonsense.

    Camp Kitchen Setup

    Send us your Mediocre 5 Star Review This week on Casual Camping Podcast we’re building the ultimate camp cooking HQ in Camp Kitchen Setup! From where to put your stove, to how not to spend half your evening rummaging through bags looking for the spatula in the dark, we chat through the little tweaks that can turn a chaotic camp kitchen into a smooth-running outdoor café… or at least somewhere you can successfully cook without dropping half your dinner in the grass. We talk about kitchen layout, keeping your kit organised, and why slinging a tarp overhead might be one of the smartest things you can do before the weather inevitably turns against you. As always, there’s plenty of laugh-filled banter, a few questionable cooking ideas, and another gloriously mediocre 5-star listener review. So grab a brew, pull up a camp chair, and join us for another cosy episode of  Casual Camping Podcast.

    Trains, Planes and Automobiles

    Send us your Mediocre 5 Star Review This week on Casual Camping Podcast, Tim packs up his camping kit, boards a plane, and heads north to Scotland for a wild camping adventure on the cliffs overlooking the village where his dad once lived. Along the way, he meets up with sister Laura, turning the trip into a memorable family adventure as well as a camping challenge. With airline luggage limits, airport security rules, and a long carry into the field to think about, careful planning became essential. Ade and Tim chat through the realities of flying with camping gear, what you can and can’t take onto a plane, and how to strike the perfect balance between travelling light and still being comfortable once you reach camp. They also explore the rules around wild camping in Scotland and why the freedom to camp responsibly in some of the UK’s most stunning landscapes makes it worth the travel on planes, trains and automobiles. Naturally, things don’t go entirely to plan. From funny conversations with locals to the slightly surreal moment the police arrived, the trip produced plenty of laughs, unexpected moments, and stories that only seem to happen when camping is involved. A funny, informative, and adventure-filled episode about family, travel, and the freedom that comes from carrying everything you need on your back. BIG Thanks to Vango for lending Tim the F10 Hydrogen Air tent for this episode.

    Gourmet Camp Cooking

    Send us your Mediocre 5 Star Review Gourmet cooking… in a tent… with Ade and Tim. What could possibly go wrong? In this week’s episode, they boldly attempt to elevate their campsite cuisine from “questionable beige” to something approaching fine dining. Yes, really. Armed with questionable confidence, a few ambitious ingredients, and the usual lack of coordination, they set out to prove that even two blokes who can barely organise a brew-up might just be capable of producing something… edible. Possibly even impressive. Fresh from a brilliant trip to Cumbria with friends, they swap stories from the field, share a load of top tips for levelling up camp cooking, and reveal whether their gourmet experiment was a triumph… or politely tolerated by everyone else. Expect laughs, mild chaos, and at least one moment where things nearly went very, very wrong. If you’ve ever wondered whether campsite cooking can be more than just beans and burnt sausages — this one’s for you.

    The Great Pack Down

    Send us your Mediocre 5 Star Review This week, Tim and Ade face their biggest challenge yet… fitting two full camping setups into one vehicle. No pressure. In The Great Pack Down, they’re planning a Cumbria getaway and, thanks to a 4 hour car sharing journey, are forced (yes, forced) to rethink their usual “bring everything just in case” approach. With limited space and big ambitions, it’s time to strip things back and figure out what you actually need for a brilliant weekend outdoors. There’s plenty of debate, some surprisingly sensible decisions, and the small matter of squeezing in Ade’s cooking plans—because apparently a leg of lamb is now considered “essential kit.” Think downsizing from bell tents to lighter setups, ditching fire pits, and trusting the British weather to double as a fridge… because nothing says luxury like Nature's 1°C beer chiller. Less gear, shared journey, same great adventure.

    Air Beam Tents

    Send us your Mediocre 5 Star Review This week on Casual Camping Podcast, Ade and Tim are, quite literally, full of hot air. The lads are chatting all things air beam tents — those magical inflatable marvels that seem to pop up in minutes while everyone else on the campsite is still arguing with a bag of poles and a set of instructions written by a madman. Ade has taken the plunge with his first ever air beam tent, and safe to say, he absolutely loves it. There may be a slight hint of smugness as he talks about how quickly it goes up, while Tim sits there wondering why he’s still living in the dark ages with conventional poles and muttering, “I need one of these.” Of course, they’re also busting a few myths along the way. Are they really sturdy? Do they survive British weather? And do they basically turn your pitch into a giant bouncy castle? There’s every chance Tim is already planning to launch himself at one just to test the theory. If you’ve ever fancied swapping bent poles, frayed tempers, and the annual “which end is the bedroom?” debate for something a little more… inflatable, this is the episode for you. Expect laughs, a bit of myth-busting, and at least one wildly exaggerated comparison to children’s party equipment.

    Stand Up Camping

    Send us your Mediocre 5 Star Review In this week’s episode of Casual Camping Podcast, Ade and Tim are talking about Stand Up Camping — making camping easier, smarter, and far more practical when squeezing into tiny tents and crawling around on the floor just isn’t cutting it anymore. This isn’t just about getting older or chasing extra comfort; it’s about camping smarter right now so you can keep enjoying the outdoors for years to come. From choosing gear that’s easier to live with, to creating a setup that works with you rather than against you, we share plenty of ideas and tips to help make camping more accessible, enjoyable, and sustainable long term. Because the goal isn’t to stop camping — it’s to keep camping for as long as possible.
