Hello everyone welcome back to another video me and dingo are back out we're doing a solo
and you might notice my eye don't worry i haven't got into any fights or anything but
something bit me as you can see and all the bottom of my eye has swollen up and slightly
changed color don't know what it was um i woke up like that this morning i had a little red lump
and yeah i woke up to that this morning it's quite sore so that's what's going on with my
eye before everybody asks not having a very good time at the moment am i with having that flu for
about three weeks and and now this but still that's how it is i am out here because i wanted
to get out i needed to get out and i wanted to film a video for all of you guys as well
plus i've got got myself another tent to try out this is the cosmologe by unigear
had it a couple of weeks just not had the chance to use it so i'm going to be using that today
and i think it is this color as well so and i've also got some coffee to show you as well
it's from a british company so i'll show you that later on when uh make a nice cup of
anti-murdery juicy juice but for now let's get this set up because i think we've got some rain
coming so we might even get a waterproofness test out this as well so let's get this set
up shall we see what we get in the in the uh package all right inside okay got a uh
instruction manual i'm guessing that's what it is an actual proper clip to put around your tent
it's quite nice better than the old crap they normally give you pegs let's have a look at these
okay pretty standard pegs poles what type of poles we get aluminium or
yeah ally poles in there silver in color fly sheet which is the same color as the uh
stuff sack and then the inner is that blue i actually quite like them colors
not bad it's different right let's get this set up so these are the poles
um i think it's all joined together it's like a spider which is probably what bit my
bit the side of my eye
yeah okay all right it looks like the pole is all completely one section okay i'm fine with that
there we go and there is another pole a shorter pole not sure what that's for yet find out
i'm assuming in the same assuming it goes something like that i'll look at the instructions
quickly there's a second pole not a very long one a few sections and that goes across the middle
so lady dingo hello girl
oh my dear um so lady dingo has been over here for about an hour
she's dug a hole there as you can probably see um yeah she's digging a hole there as well
i don't know what she is after but she's after something there we go the unigear
cosmo lodge two-person tent is up and you know what i actually quite like that i don't mind the
color obviously the color is not going to be for everyone but i actually don't mind that because
i use a lot of greens and browns when i come camping um so it's actually quite refreshing
to use a different color for a change yeah that is it we've got two vestibules one on that side
and also one on that side so if there's two of you in there one of you hasn't got to climb over
the other one to get out yeah the guy ropes are already pre-attached you have one two four of
them yeah i actually i don't mind mind that so far i think the um the connectors for the fly
sheet when you put it on are a bit weird because you you put them underneath the poles
um i can show you here they go they clip onto the bottom of the pole so that was a bit strange
but other than that it looks all right it looks okay yeah i'm looking forward to sleeping in
that tonight all right i'm gonna get my bedding in get that sorted out get dingo's bedding in
and then i'm gonna make a cup of coffee because i'm gasping
i need one yeah so i'm gonna get all that in and then i'll come back to you so i'm in the tent
i've got my bedding sorted out i've got my one tigris memory foam pillow i've got my british
army medium weight bag my inflatable mat dingo's got her mat down there and as you can see it's
quite light in here which obviously for some people might be a bit of an issue in the morning
some people like darker tents don't know but up here i've got like a mesh shelf i'm gonna call
it a shelf that you can put stuff in got pocket here pocket there pocket there same that's that
end and another two pockets that end now i didn't think this had any air vents i was wrong look
there we go it's got one of them each end an extra vent one that end and one that end
but plenty of room in here plenty of room for two people and obviously you've got the two vestibules
either side for gear shouldn't be an issue yeah i like it actually i like it a lot as i said earlier
the color's a little bit different some people might not like the color me someone who uses a
camouflage and a lot of greens and browns this is quite refreshing for me i quite like this so
yeah you'll see this more often on the channel i may keep it more for like when i do trips
stuff like that maybe but yeah no a good size very happy with it so far we'll find out how
later on if it rains the sun's been out quite a lot since i've got here
so we'll see but for now i'm gonna make myself a cup of coffee got myself a cool bag look at that
i ain't got to use my daughter's frozen one anymore so i'll show you that coffee that i've
so this is by a company called goat herd coffee they are a british based company they're not
actually too far away from me i think they're only about an hour's drive from me so that's not bad
so yeah they they asked me mark you like coffee so do you want to try these are like coffee bags
that's how we describe them to me as as you can see i haven't opened them yet
these beans were roasted on the 26th of feb so uh let's make ourselves a coffee
from goat herd coffee let's have a look at these bags oh okay so this is a pack of 20
and they also do them in tens ah i see what they are so there we go you put them over the top of
your cup let me get my cup hold on so i've got my cup and you just obviously you open it at the top
there pop it on top and pour your hot water on hey how about that that's actually pretty damn handy
yeah okay i'm excited to try these they also do i believe freshly ground coffee
in a packet and you can also buy beans if you want to grind them yourself you know yeah so
get me some water boiling get one of these on the go and i'll bring you back when i'm pouring it in
smells great it does smell good anyway let's get one made my goat herd coffee
is made all right first try here we go
oh that is so good actually that is really good that is lovely how convenient
how convenient are these these like coffee bag like i said there's 20 in this packet
right and obviously you don't have to bring a whole packet with you to come camping but they
are very very convenient for camping yeah if you are a coffee lover and uh you want to support
british companies and british farmers and things like that
then i highly recommend this company you know they're uk-based they do obviously all different
strengths of coffee this is a medium i believe yeah honestly it is lovely and it is all it's
all freshly done to order as well so it's not been sitting in packets for months and months
on end it's all freshly done when you order they freshly grind it up or however you want it
there's a bit writing on the back here um i'm gonna i'm gonna read it to you
so obviously we've got the name of the company goat herd coffee it says on the back legend has
it that an Ethiopian goat herd named Kaldi discovered coffee after his goats danced from
eating wild red berries curious monks brewed the berries and coffee was born centuries later
we roast every batch fresh to order with that same spirit of curiosity you'll find the roast
date on every bag so it's always fresh and always roasted your way Callum and Charlotte founders of
goat herd coffee and i've got to say it's a really nice product and i'll definitely be purchasing
some of their products in the future so thank you Callum and Charlotte for sending me a bag of your
