Description
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.

Send us your Mediocre 5 Star Review In this week’s episode of Casual Camping Podcast, Ade and Tim share a more personal conversation. After the recent loss of their dad, they reflect on how getting outdoors and spending time camping has helped them process their grief. They talk about how stepping away from the noise of everyday life—sitting around a campfire, walking in the woods, and simply being outside—created the space to think, talk, and remember. This episode isn’t about having the ans...
Send us your Mediocre 5 Star Review This week on Casual Camping Podcast, Ade and Tim head out into the field for one of the most unique events in the outdoor industry — Outdoor & Social. Outdoor & Social is a trade show with a difference. Rather than being aimed at buyers, press, or influencers, the event is designed specifically for retail store staff who sell outdoor equipment every day. It gives them the chance to step away from the shop floor and actually use the gear they recomme...

Along the way we also discover that Ade may have been slightly more excited about this interview...
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, ex...

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 real...

Send us your Mediocre 5 Star Review This week on Casual Camping Podcast, chaos meets consumerism. We gave each other an imaginary £20 and just two minutes to spend it — because why make sensible decisions when you can panic-buy? What followed was a frantic dash through the world of camping gear, featuring questionable purchases, shameless justifications, and the usual Ade-vs-Tim nonsense. Who found a bargain? Who wasted their imaginary money? And who is now banned from making financial decisi...
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 extens...

Join us as we chat about the importance of being prepared, staying adaptable,...
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 bu...

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!

We get into first impressions, fiery possibilities, and whether it’s going to transform his camping trips or just singe his eyebro...
Send us your Mediocre 5 Star Review This week on the Casual Camping Podcast, it’s not one of Tim’s finest hours. With his mates bailing because the forecast promised buckets of rain and gale-force winds, Tim headed solo to the Lake District determined to prove them wrong. Spoiler alert: the weather won.
