Huw has also been involved in scientific research, which has seen him leading groups into the Greenland wilderness on more than one "wild goose chase".Ade and Tim discuss with Huw how he started on this journey, how he prepares for each expedition, the equipment he uses and, most importantly, what he learns from each time he steps into the Arctic wilderness.Huw gives some top tips and shows that such wild places are not beyond the reach of even the casual camper.

Camping Tools
Axes, saws and short swords are this week's topic of chatter between Tim and Ade. They are all about the gear but nothing gets them more excited than these three tools and how they can help you prep wood for the campfire.Tim and Ade do not in any way advocate the glorification of cutting tools; they should be an important part of everyone's camping equipment. The safe and appropriate use of them is a lesson to learn and a skill to hone.

Neither a borrower or lender be
This week Ade and Tim discuss the pros and cons in borrowing, lending or sharing camping equipment.Borrowing equipment can be a great way to get into camping without the expense of buying everything before you even know if like the experience or not. However, does their inexperience make you anxious about lending your toys to them? Would you share your space with someone else?Is it more complicated than you first think?Send us your Mediocre 5 Star ReviewDISCLAIMER: Casual Camping Podcast accepts no liability and does not officially recommend any products or endorse any techniques discussed in an individual podcast episode or shown on Casual Camping Podcast social media accounts.

The best camping discussion both in and out of the field. Light-hearted chat with two brothers (Ade and Tim) who love all things camping-related. Camping is their happy place.We started this podcast because we both found that we had very busy lives and we weren't speaking to each other enough. When we did talk, it was always about camping. By putting a podcast episode out every week we make sure we keep in touch. It's as simple as that.We aren't sponsored and we don't need paid partnerships. This isn't our day job, it's simply a way to keep two brothers connected. We hope you enjoy listening as much as we love making it.
