Reading Between The Guy-lines

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.
