They thought the fire, in a fire pit, had gone out but it reignited and spread

I see some really odd stuff on youtube, there seems to be a thing for people doing 'nature camping' lifestyle videos that show special 'hacks'. Saw/skipped through one recently where someone set up shelter in a triangle of trees, by wrapping said triangle in 5ft high of clear pallet-wrap plastic on a big roll, including a roof!. They could see out, but no wind coming in, clever and non-reusable. Portable wood burner in the middle,. As ever they did an idyllic swim in a river, slept snugly, cooked a massive amount of meat and off in the morning. I know most of these videos are so they can get lots of views for themselves...it's just weird. :lol:

As I pedaled round Loch Rannoch the other day, it was like Piccadilly circus with all the folk camping out, in order to get away from it all.... Many fires.....

Both those last two are pretty horrendous aren't they, well spotted gents. The right-hand Tailfin photo looks like the model is being burned at the stake which seems an appropriate retribution.

I should say Tailfin did take down this post (was last year) and were quite open to the Leave no trace idea and did apologise :-bd

If there is any ranking.. that's particularly poor.
