This week Ade and Tim take the listeners behind the curtain of the UK’s most exciting, most secretive, and most tantalisingly off‑limits event in the camping calendar: The Outdoor Trade Show in Liverpool.
It’s the show you can’t buy tickets for.
The show where everything is shiny, new, and won’t hit the shelves until next year.
The show that turns two grown men into excitable children with press passes.
Travelling up by train, the lads dive into a full day of exploring prototypes, future gear, wild innovations, and the kind of kit that makes you whisper “I need that” even though it technically doesn’t exist yet. Expect stories from the exhibition floor, early favourites, unexpected discoveries, and a few moments where Ade had to be gently steered away from “accidentally” adopting more equipment.
It’s enthusiastic, nerdy, full of wonder, and absolutely peak Casual Camping Podcast.

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.

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.

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.

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. Check out this incredible tent via the link below:
