As the seasons shift, so do our camping habits.
This week, Tim and Ade discuss what the arrival of autumn means for campers across the Northern Hemisphere. With colder nights drawing in and hot tent season just around the corner, it’s time to think about how your setup, gear and camping plans might need to adapt for the months ahead.

At the same time, our listeners in the Southern Hemisphere are heading in the opposite direction. While many campers in the UK are preparing for frosty mornings and longer nights, those down under are looking forward to warmer weather and a whole new camping season.

Ade also shares some practical advice for anyone getting ready to pack their gear away for a while. From storage tips to equipment checks, these simple steps can help protect your kit through the off season and ensure it’s ready for your next adventure when camping calls again.

Whether you’re preparing for winter, welcoming spring, or simply planning your next trip, this episode is all about making the most of the changing seasons.

With the world seemingly going to hell in a handcart faster than you can say “Zombie Apocalypse”, Tim and Ade tackle a surprisingly tricky question: is camping actually prepping?

The skills we practise every time we head into the camping field can sound suspiciously familiar. Carrying essential equipment. Purifying water. Cooking outdoors. Keeping warm. Finding shelter. Being self sufficient.
So at what point does a camper become a prepper?

In this episode, Tim and Ade explore the similarities, differences and occasional overlap between the two worlds. Along the way, they discuss the camping habits, gear and skills that might leave some people wondering whether they’ve accidentally started preparing for the end of civilisation.
Whether you’re a dedicated camper, a seasoned prepper, or someone who simply enjoys a good campfire and a hot brew, this episode is guaranteed to get you thinking.

Imagine having the responsibility of designing the one piece of camping equipment we’re all obsessed with.

This week, Tim and Ade sit down with Jason Gilmore, tent designer at Vango, to discover what goes into creating the shelters we trust for our camping adventures.
From the first sketch to the final product, Jason takes us behind the scenes of the design process, revealing how new tents are developed, tested and refined before they ever reach a campsite.

Along the way, Tim and Ade also explore what their own dream tent designs might look like, proving that giving campers a blank sheet of paper can be a dangerous thing.
Whether you’re fascinated by tent design, curious about the camping industry, or simply wondering how your favourite tent came to be, this is a rare glimpse behind the canvas.

A bold claim. Some might even say a ridiculous one.

This week, listener and friend of the show Thom presents a detailed report challenging Ade and Tim’s long held assertion that camping costs nothing.
According to Thom, nothing does in fact cost something. It weighs something. It occupies space. And in some cases, that “nothing” can become so large and expensive that it requires a trailer, a van, or an entirely new storage solution.

Armed with evidence, logic and suspiciously thorough research, Thom puts the Casual Camping philosophy firmly in the dock.
Naturally, Ade and Tim respond in the only way they know how.
Expect questionable mathematics, questionable reasoning, and a spirited defence of one of the show’s most controversial beliefs.

The question is simple:
Does camping cost nothing?
Or have we all been kidding ourselves?
