The Most Overlooked Deadly Risk in Camping!

The Most Overlooked Deadly Risk in Camping!

It’s one of the most dangerous and silent threats in the wild camping world—and most people don’t think about it until it’s too late.

In this video, I tackle the real risk of Carbon Monoxide (CO) poisoning—a deadly hazard that has claimed lives in tents, caravans, and campervans across the UK.

Whether you’re wild camping in winter, cooking in your shelter, or using a wood stove to stay warm, CO build-up can be lethal.

I cover:

  • Real-world risks and warning signs

  • How CO builds up in tents and enclosed shelters

  • Why ventilation is crucial—even in cold weather

  • How to choose and use a Carbon Monoxide Detector

  • My own wake-up call and what I do differently now

This is a must-watch for all wild campers, beginners or experienced. It’s not about fear—it’s about being prepared and staying alive.
