In this week's show, Ade and Tim stand accused of arguing that Camping Costs Nothing.

Listener and friend of the show, Thom, has written a detailed and thorough report examining the use of the word 'Nothing' in relation to cost, weight and occupied space. He argues that nothing does in fact cost, weigh and occupy something. Furthermore, he proposes that on occasion, nothing can be expensive, heavy and take up a considerable amount of space in the car. Sometimes resulting in the need to purchase a van or trailer, which also costs more than nothing.

Ade and Tim counter this report with their usual 'Casual' style of banter that you've come to expect.

This week Ade and Tim have got out into the camping field on Brooklyn Grange Farm. This campsite is on a working dairy farm with an incredible farm shop run by a mother and daughter duo. 

They didn't experience the site at it's most glorious as it was raining pretty much the whole time across the three days, but it takes more than a bit of rain to put are two intrepid Casual Campers off.

Listen in for some top tips of how to cope when the rain starts falling so that the next time this happens to you your spirits aren't dampened, only your crisps.

This week has been a big struggle for Ade and Tim and they apologise to everyone for not being able to get a full episode to air. 

They have, however, managed to pull together something special. With the help of our friends in A'up (Ai), they have got what will certainly be a No.1 Hit Single on their hands. Here you get the first listen to the musical extravaganza that is, Casual Camping Podcast The Hit Single !!!!

They sincerely apologise for not putting a full episode out for you all. Rest assured that next week will be a full return to normal service. Not that Tim or Ade are in any way normal.

Welcome to this week's episode of Casual Camping Podcast.

This week Ade has set Tim a particularly creative challenge: If he could go back to the very start of his camping journey, what equipment would he buy if he still knew all the camping knowhow that he does today?

Tim has reflected on those first purchases and, with hindsight, recognises the mistakes. He spent money on what he thought were the priorities but time has taught him they were the wrong places to focus his funds. He has now pulled together a kit list of items that illustrate exactly where you should focus your money if you are making those very first purchases today.

Come down memory lane with Tim and Ade as they discuss those early days. Then enjoy Tim's virtual spending spree as he piles up the kit he wished he'd bought first.

This week we focus on an incredibly important topic for everyone enjoying the great outdoors: fire safety during the current hot and extremely dry conditions.

With campsites, farmland and countryside under significant pressure from the ongoing heatwave, we discuss why campers need to be extra cautious when using anything that involves a naked flame. Whether it's campfires, fire pits, stoves, BBQs or fireworks, now is the time to put safety first and think carefully before lighting anything outdoors.

Tim shares a personal account from close to home, where wildfires broke out yesterday. Tragically, several homes were destroyed and many acres of farmland were lost as the fires spread rapidly through the dry landscape. It's a stark reminder of just how quickly a small spark can become a major incident.

During the recording of the show, a national emergency alert sounded on mobile phones across the country, warning of the heightened fire risk and making it clear that fires, fireworks and BBQs were prohibited nationally. It was a dramatic moment that perfectly underlined the importance of the conversation Tim and Ade were having.

As always, it seems we've got our finger firmly on the pulse of the camping community, discussing the issue just as it became national news.

Wherever you're camping this week, please stay informed, follow local restrictions, and help protect our countryside, farms, wildlife and communities.

Stay safe and happy camping!

This week Tim and Ade lean back in their camp chairs, (a few) beers in hand, fire crackling, and record straight from the field. It’s loose, warm, slightly chaotic, and absolutely soaked in that midweek magic — the kind you only get when you’ve snuck out for a cheeky local overnighter after work.

They dive into the art of guilt‑free camping: how slipping away on a Monday night can spare you that look from your significant other. The look that says “another weekend… really?”. By keeping it local, keeping it simple, and keeping it midweek, you can scratch the itch for fresh air and firelight without burning through precious family time.

Between the laughter, they talk through the joy of spontaneous micro‑escapes, the freedom of packing light, and the underrated thrill of being back home before anyone even notices you were gone. It’s honest, funny, and full of that familiar Casual Camping energy — two brothers around a fire solving life’s great camping dilemmas one sip at a time.

Tim and Ade received an extra special invitation to head north to Glasgow for a behind-the-scenes experience with one of the UK's most recognisable and beloved outdoor brands, Vango.

As Vango celebrates its 60th anniversary, the lads spent two days immersed in the world of camping and outdoor adventure. From exploring the latest tents, awnings, furniture and camping innovations to getting hands-on with products that have yet to be announced, it really was a case of kids in a toyshop.

The adventure didn't stop at the factory doors. The Vango team took Tim and Ade to the shores of a stunning Scottish loch, where they spent the night camping and putting some of the brand's equipment to the test in the environment it was designed for.

Throughout the episode, you'll hear exclusive interviews with key members of the Vango team as they share insights into the company's history, design philosophy, product development process and what continues to make Vango one of the most trusted names in outdoor living.

Join us for a fascinating look inside an iconic British camping brand, discover what goes into creating the gear we all rely on, and celebrate 60 years of innovation, adventure and unforgettable camping experiences.
