This week on Casual Camping Podcast, Ade and Tim head to one of the biggest events in the outdoor calendar — the Caravan, Camping and Motorhome Show 2026! Joined by friend of the show Richard, aka The Fixer, the team take a wander around the largest public-access camping and outdoor show of the year.

From tents and campervans to gadgets, gear, and everything in between, they chat through what caught their eye, what got them excited, and what they probably didn’t need but suddenly really want. Along the way, they also speak to a range of outdoor companies, getting hands-on with the latest kit and hearing directly from the people behind the brands.

It’s a boots-on-the-ground look at the latest in the world of camping — with plenty of laughs along the way.

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 really just confidence boosters written by people far braver than us.

It’s a relaxed wander through campfire classics, practical pages, and the stories that make you want to zip up a tent, light a stove, and give it a go — even if you have to read the chapter twice first.

Pop the kettle on. This one’s a cosy listen.

This week, Ade and Tim return with the Season 4 Opener of the Casual Camping Podcast, and they’re more fired up than ever to be back behind the microphones. After the winter break, they launch straight into an exciting year ahead, packed with big plans, bold ideas, and plenty of time outdoors.

In this episode, they share what’s coming up in Season 4 — from the camping adventures already in the diary, to the shows they’ll be attending, the guests they’ll be sitting down with, and the new equipment they can’t wait to get out and put through its paces.

They also dive into a proper winter test of both kit and resolve, recounting a snowy camping trip to Edale. The episode features a live recording from a frozen field, capturing the raw atmosphere of winter camping and setting the tone for a season that promises to be hands-on, adventurous, and full of energy.

Season 4 starts here — and it’s shaping up to be the biggest yet.

For the final episode of Season 3, Ade and Tim settle in with mince pies, warm drinks, and a crackling imaginary campfire to look back on a brilliant year of camping chaos and podcasting fun.

They chat through their favourite moments from 2025 — the big laughs, the bigger mishaps, the standout listener reviews, the shows we loved, and all the camping adventures that made this season their best yet.

Then they dive into their Top 5 Christmas gift ideas, perfect for campers, adventurers, or anyone who loves a good bit of outdoor gear under the tree.

They wrap things up with a huge thank you to everyone who’s listened, shared, reviewed, or joined us around the virtual campfire this year — and a reminder that they'll be back, bright-eyed and bushcraft-ready, on 6th February 2026 for the start of Season 4.

Until then… stay warm, stay cozy, and stay Casual!

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 decisions on camp? Find out in this gloriously unhinged episode of Casual Camping Podcast.

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 extensive camping wisdom is worth more or less than Ade’s suspiciously large collection of half-used gas canisters.

It’s all about community, creativity, and the joy of giving your old kit a brand-new story. Dive in and see what you’d trade at the Camping Swap Shop!

This week, things didn’t quite go to plan! Tim had to drop out at the last minute, leaving poor Ade to face the wilds alone — scrambling for kit, supplies, and the willpower to brave a solo camp. In true Casual Camping style, Ade turns a setback into an adventure, proving that with a bit of flexibility (and a lot of improvisation), you can still have a brilliant time under canvas.

Join us as we chat about the importance of being prepared, staying adaptable, and why sometimes, the best camping stories come from the plans that don’t quite work out!
