Just a lad from a small town in Lancashire. Join me in my adventures where I try to learn as much as I can about the wilderness, film making and what I’m capable of. Enjoy!

Gonna be doing this soon, i'm on a real tight budget and just need a decent down jacket.
Can definitely be done a lot cheaper than I’ve invested mate! Decathlon, go outdoors and Amazon are great. Also getting winter gear in the summer sales and vice versa🤝 let me know how you get on!
Nice camp, proper meal that, T Bone steak lovely jubilee😁
@@WildBorkysadventures can’t go wrong😎
We’ve just started our outdoor wild camping channel and are very excited to do our first wild camp, can’t wait although quite nervous
@@Gingerandwookie is right mate! You’ll love it, already buzzing for my next one!
Well done on yr first solo camp. It must feel scary. So fair play to you xx
@@debradaniels936 I would be lying if I said I wasn’t a bit nervous but that feeling soon went away once I was fully set up and cozy in the tent😅
Sick First Upload mate, glad its gave you the confidence to get back out there an record more, look forward to the new content an the kit upgrades (Recording equipment and Wild camping, Keep us up to date btw)!
@@samsprouts1404 thank you mate! And yes will definitely do a full kit and equipment run down🤝
looks a good one Joe, im new to wild camping to, done a couple. I might give this one a go in the future. subbed bro also.
@@MineExplorerUK it’s a great spot, and not too wild! Thank you my man🤝
🙌🏻🙌🏻
Is right Joe belter tha lad keep it up deffo thinking aba doing abit of wild camping myself eventually la
@@d.ac9 nice one mate! Just go for it😎
I was just about to Mark this spot down as a potential wildcamp for me for the future until I saw the cows, there's no way I am wildcamping anywhere near any cows. I don't mind sheep but not cows, Google how many people get trampled by cows in the UK every year lol 😂. Other than that it will be a fantastic spot with amazing views
Definitely don’t want to get on the wrong side of them🤣 Ignorance is bliss though I suppose😅 definitely recommend mate as they did keep their distance and the views are worth it!
Well done on your first wild camp yes it is a learning curve and you did take an awful lot of stuff up there with you, but you look young enough and strong enough to carry it so that's up to you. I would recommend a chair you can get one that weighs round about 1 kilo, not sure about the car park though, most national trusts are no overnight camping, was it allowed? that I have never been there so don't know. Another great wildcamping spot is Angle Tarn. No car park needed you park on the main road
Thank you for the recommendations! A camping chair is definitely on the list😅 I purchased two full day tickets and speaking to the staff in the morning they didn’t seem to mind because I paid. Learning more and more each trip!
Well done lad👍🏼great video mate,look forward to next 1
Glad you enjoyed it mate, nice one!
Well done on your first solo adventure. Good video.
Thank you for supporting❤️
Welcome to solo community 🙌🏻😂 just subscribed mate, nice vid 👍🏻
Time to dive into the rabbit hole🤣 thank you mate😊
Great video! I'm hoping to do my first solo wild camp at the Lake District next month. How easy was it find parking near a good trail?
Brilliant mate, best thing you can do for your mental and physical health in my opinion! Parking is normally never an issue if you research around where you’re planning to go. Getting next to other camper vans/camping is a bonus because you feel a bit safer knowing your car is with others. Let me know how you get on😊
Reference what you were saying about pack size and weight, I use a 26 litre day sack and manage to wild camp for three days and two nights in the mountains, as you said it’s a learning curve. I’ve attached the link to a video I did of the kit I use. We know the Langdale valley extremely well as we’ve hiked every summit there and it’s our favourite place in the LDNP. Subbed to your channel too. 😊 th-cam.com/video/z2ykYb0Kgpc/w-d-xo.htmlsi=4sP0s3X0ZXQCIbmx
Thank you very much to the help mate!😊
I want to camp somewhere in the Lakes and that looks good. I worry about parking, can you park overnight in that car park? Good video like how you tell the story and make it real about the other campers and the farmer.
Go for it! Technically it’s no overnight parking but I purchased two all day tickets just in case and made sure to set off late as possible and leave early doors. I appreciate your comment and support mate thank you😊
Hey Joe, I like your content and have subscribed. I am a big fan of Blot Outdoors. Look forward to see your content develop. Matt from NZ
Thank you very much mate! Can’t to wrong with abit of blot, Rrrrightttssssss🇳🇿 🍻
What’s the car park location pls
It’s called New Dungeon Ghill it’s national trust
I got that tent couple years ago not got it out yet 😂seems big and heavy for me as getting on with health problems but just got alpkit polestar it's 3rd of weight and size so solved prob gutted tho as great roomy tent exilir 2 and seems sturdy from vids I've seen enjoyed this laaaaaaaa
An absolute igloo of a tent! I love mine as my previous one was shocking and leaked🤣 them alpkits look amazing too. Thank you for supporting lad😊
On to the next one now mate
Well and truly got the bug!😊
I remember well my first solo camp, over 60 years ago and still doing it at 76. The first 40 years are the worst, then you get used to it. 🤣🤣 We have a saying over here in NZ, "it takes two weeks to get your lungs and your legs" and that is doing it every day. My playground is the Tararua range in the North Island. It's 100ks long and 30ks wide and rises to 1600M. One can be alone for as long as you want, weeks at a time. Have just got back from a trip tonight, went up to 1200M and all in the forest, this is where the bush line ends and then it's alpine. Enjoyed the video ATB Cheers from the mountains of NZ 😊😊
@@mountainmantararua8824 wow!🤩 very jealous of your location mate it sounds amazing, definitely on the bucket list! Thank you for your support, it means a lot to me 🇳🇿
Nice! That sounds lovely!!! What is your communication device for emergency rescue in a remote area like that?
@@Accurize2 A PLB, or a sat telephone. Once in the deep gorges it can be hard to pick up GPS sats. Even AM and FM radio is hard to pick up. You can forget about using cell phones, unless you're on the tops. Good navigation skills are needed. If you lose the track, or go off track, progress is down to 200 - 300 m an hour. Cheers 😀
man this is amazing
@@wadeyhsd8530 I appreciate that a lot buddy, thank you!
Amazing content this lad. So glad to see you on your travels. Can’t wait to see more.
Thank you very much for supporting buddy❤️ hope you’re well👊🏻
Love it laaaaaaaaaaaaa
What an experience! This has boosted my confidence a lot so I can take myself to more remote places in the near future! The video quality isn’t the best on this one but I will try and figure it out for future videos and bring the highest quality I can! Have a good one and enjoy the video😊
This trip we decided to take my camera to film some clips and see if it would interfere with the experience. Safe to say it was very enjoyable and great to look back on! I plan to make more videos of my adventures so stay tuned 😊 I will try and talk to the camera more next time😂
