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 | 01 May 2026 | 00:50:32 | |
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 Cult of Bell Tents | 27 Feb 2026 | 00:49:11 | |
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.

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 | 13 Feb 2026 | 00:59:56 | |
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.

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.

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.

Send us your Mediocre 5 Star Review This week, Ade unleashes a truly Ade-style brainwave: a “Camping Swap Shop” stall at an outdoor show where absolutely no money changes hands. Instead, it’s all about bartering your way to better kit — swap a stove for a sleeping mat, trade a tarp for a titanium spork, or even offer your skills and knowledge in exchange for that shiny bit of gear you’ve had your eye on. We chat about what we’d bring, what we’d hope to walk away with, and whether Tim’s extensive camping wisdom is worth more or less than Ade’s suspiciously large collection of half-used gas canisters. It’s all about community, creativity, and the joy of giving your old kit a brand-new story. Dive in and see what you’d trade at the Camping Swap Shop!

Send us your Mediocre 5 Star Review This week, things didn’t quite go to plan! Tim had to drop out at the last minute, leaving poor Ade to face the wilds alone — scrambling for kit, supplies, and the willpower to brave a solo camp. In true Casual Camping style, Ade turns a setback into an adventure, proving that with a bit of flexibility (and a lot of improvisation), you can still have a brilliant time under canvas.

| Bonfire Night | 05 Nov 2025 | 00:45:12 | |
Send us your Mediocre 5 Star Review This week, Ade and Tim quite literally turn up the heat as they dive into one of England’s most explosive bits of history — The Gunpowder Plot of 1605! We chat about Guy Fawkes, barrels of gunpowder, and how a failed act of treason that ended in a gruesome fate somehow became one of the cosiest nights on the calendar. Along the way, we share our own Bonfire Night memories — from cheap fireworks and glowing sparklers to slightly singed jacket potatoes and burnt toffee. We also get into why we think Bonfire Night deserves to burn just as bright as Halloween — it’s fiery, it’s historical, and it brings people together like no other night of the year. So grab a hot drink, wrap up warm, and join us around the fire for a crackling good episode of The Casual Camping Podcast!

| The Great Pack Down | 24 Apr 2026 | 01:08:39 | |
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.

They chat “Tentertainment” ideas for families brave enough to camp out in the woods — midnight walks, pumpkin lanterns, creepy campfire snacks, and maybe even the odd bump in the night. So grab your torch, zip up tight, and join us for some frightfully good camping fun!

Send us your Mediocre 5 Star Review This week on Casual Camping Podcast, we’re talking First Aid in the Field — or should that be First Ade? While Tim knows his bandages from his burn dressings, Ade’s more likely to be the one needing patching up! Join us as Ade fires off his questions about what really belongs in a first aid kit, how to handle minor mishaps, and when it’s time to call in the professionals. From plasters to pressure dressings, Tim shares his tips for staying safe and sorted when camping goes a bit sideways. It’s practical, a bit chaotic, and definitely a learning curve for Ade — all in the name of camping survival! Because nothing kills the vibe faster than a gashed thumb and no plasters.

Meanwhile, Tim’s got a shiny new toy: the Winnerwell Marsfire tent stove. We get into first impressions, fiery possibilities, and whether it’s going to transform his camping trips or just singe his eyebrows. It’s a mix of bargain hunting, gear geeking, and the usual banter you’ve come to expect around our casual campfire.

| Tim's Camping Failure | 26 Sep 2025 | 00:49:39 | |
Send us your Mediocre 5 Star Review This week on the Casual Camping Podcast, it’s not one of Tim’s finest hours.

It’s a tale of perseverance, poor prep, and the reminder that sometimes camping just laughs in your face. Join Ade and Tim as they relive the misadventure, share the lessons learned, and find the funny side of a very damp weekend.

Send us your Mediocre 5 Star Review This week on Casual Camping Podcast, Ade and Tim wade into the murky waters of campsite booking – from bargain-basement pitches that cost less than a bag of chips, to luxury sites where you wonder if you should have packed a tux instead of a tent. We share the highs, the lows, and the head-scratching complications that come with picking between cheap and cheerful versus pricey and posh. Grab a brew, have a laugh, and let us help you decide whether that extra cost is really buying comfort… or just a fancier toilet block.

| Air Beam Tents | 17 Apr 2026 | 01:01:11 | |
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.
