Hi I'm twiggy from Sheffield England ,myself and Elsa my stay at home companion are going to give you some great content of wild camping in the peak district all year round .
Surviving a BLIZZARD in the wild. [ Pushed to the Limit ]
Wild camping in the peak district always brings very changeable weather ,but this particular camp was very different ,it brought fear and survival thinking, this was a brutal snow blizzard.
Getting back to the Edale valley and safety became a real life survival situation.
This video is about suffering and surviving the elements of wild camping when it gets hard.
Human survival can be exhilarating but also very dangerous, in this wild camping adventure we took all the survival gear we thought we needed and definitely used it, in the end it was our equipment and knowledge that got us home safely.

Photoshoot? ..On my friends first wild camp
Why?
Next time proper tent, clothes, sleeping bag. Some heating packs and extra gas. Feel better😷
Why???
Your not a youngster you should have known better than to camp out in that. A bit stupid.
I didn’t see the 3 feet of snow you talked about
My favorite thing about alcohol stoves is the noise they make 😇
Brave men amazing video
Love it 👍🏼
Cheers Liam , hope you’re good mate 👍
A brilliant video Mick, it was really entertaining. I hope that you're feeling better soon. Thanks for the video mate.👍🙂
It was quite a camp that one … took us nearly 3 hours to get down 2.5 miles … exhausting trip but well worth it Steve . Cheers 👍
On the plus side……not many flies about 😂😂😂😂
Yep not one . lol ,😂
What kit was in your sleeping system to survive such cold conditions ?
I use a thermorest xterms rearing 7.3 Western mountaineering terra light -4 bag with an enlightened equipment quilt on top -6 rating hope that helps. Cheers
awesome video
Cheers. Thanks. It was a great experience
It's looks original.
All real no AI . Raw
Thank God you both survived. Anything g could have gone very wrong
Small mistakes can lead to huge problems, you’re right . Cheers
Enduring a blizzard out in the wild is such a raw experience-I once spent a night with snow blowing sideways, barely able to see my own hand. It really teaches you to respect the power of winter weather!
It’s very memorable isn’t it, most people never experience such violence of the weather, Scary but somehow awesome.
Now way in hell would i do that!
It was awesome… on the edge of
It is also wise to have an LED and rechargeable batteries.😊
Most tents arent waterproof. In subzero temperatures I toss a quilt and a waterproof tarp over the tent. I recommend carrying tealights and a couple foil trays to put them in. This will keep you from freezing.😊
Like the tea light idea , this hilleberg tent is very waterproof, no problems so far cheers.👍
@twiggyescapes they could save someones life. Not only that it makes making coffee in the tent practical...no stove needed. I wake up and the coffee water is already warm.
@twiggyescapes you can get nine hour tea lights but nine for $2.50. A little more expensive but better for sleeping.
I now use twelve inch steel spikes for tent pins. I drive them just deep enough to hold or it's to hard to get them out.😊
U would have struggled to get them in on this camp worked, the ground was frozen solid, cheers for tips 👍
@twiggyescapes I have a three pound hammer. It was rediculous trying to drive those pegs they sell into the ice...so.
Why pitch your tent with the door windward ???? It seems a basic mistake.
The wind was non existent when we pitched up ,wind direction on weather forecast was from the north ended up from west, cheers for watching ATB
Enjoyed watching. Nice to hear the sound of rain. Great shots at the end after the rain.
Scary stuff mate Glad your both ok Atb Graham
Yes glad to be here still . Cheers for your comment 🙂
shes a good girl! I had a westhighland/poodle that looked just like her. Very cute!
I was an arctic instructor in the Marine Corps, so I’m giving unsolicited advice!😂
That’s awesome, any tips well appreciated, you’re obviously skilled. Cheers for watching the amateurs at work… it was epic 👍
Snows shoes would have been handy as well!
In really deep snow I found snowshoes to be a life threatening device. I would recommend cross country skis with cleats. Boots are no good for deep snow unless they're taped so snow can't get in them.😊...
Boots on this camp worked, the spikes kept falling off, skis may have been better on flatter ground but this terrain was so undulating and steep ,cheers for watching 👍
You should have several lighters throughout your kit man. I always have cheap Bic lighters in several pockets and a couple in my gear.😊
I will do this… top man
And tealite candles...a hundred for seven dollars...can save you from frost bite.😊
Great sir
Cheers.thanks for watching 👍
Cra-ze ❤
Yep. Fun though. Cheers 🙂👍
Super Twiggy 🤩 you are both brave to go up it that but being together made it better. I’d love to go up in the snow one day but would approach my mission with great caution and preparations! ATB you legends ✨ ❄️
Hi Sarah , this was storm Bert a couple of weeks back, it really caught us off guard a bit we knew it was on the way but it’s ferocity was scary. Luckily we had each other and made decisions together, it would have been a very different camp alone. Hope you’re good Sarah nice to hear from you,hope you and your family have a great Xmas 🎄🙂👍
@ I hope you’re feeling a little better! Unable to get out for a camp recently due to work and life commitments but when I can it will be the best therapy for sure. I’m knackered! Take care matey, Sarah
Nice and breezy, great fun👍
Breezy yes . Fun definitely. Cheers 🙂
Good grief, Twiggy, be thankful you are only feeling unwell and not dead after a camp like that. Did the Unna poles suffer any damage? I'm surprised you didn't double guy, or at least use 10 mm poles. (I could be wrong but on the video the poles looked like 9 mm) Double poles and double guys turn the Unna into a different beast and it's still only about the same weight as the Soulo. Great video. Must have been an awesome experience.
Hi Frederick, yes it was living on the edge especially trying to get down to safety, the unna I had 9mm and basic poles, we underestimated the ferocity of that storm, I have heard that 10 mm makes a big difference, so if I take it out in this kind of weather again I’ll be taking those … I’ve since acquired a jannu which I’ll be testing too . Cheers for watching and your advice. ATB.👍
@twiggyescapes I think to be honest double guying adds more stability than 10 mm poles. I use 2 mm Lawson GlowWire cord and attach the extra guys to the already existing loops at right angles to the standard guys. It seems rock solid then. I just love having the extra space in the Unna. Hope you are feeling well again. Take care.
Consider the Kuiu StormStar it's safe as houses too
Hi. I dont have a dog so I tried to take my cat camping, I have a vid on my channel ... a niche interest perhaps, but i would be touched if you took a look.
Were you practicing for an attempt at K2? 😂 What an adventure. It's good to see realistic videos like this where errors are made, but you make it back safely and lessons are learned. A friend and I camped out in the Lakeland Fells during Storm Bert. We thought we we were adventurous, but this is on another level. I, too, used handwarmers. I had them in my socks overnight then switched them to my gloves by day. They were a Godsend. I'd have been in trouble without them. Keep living the dream.
Yes … this also was storm Bert , I think the Peak District was hit really hard that night, lots of errors were made , we had to have a fun camp so we decided to drink , it definitely helped us in the moment lol . Think there’s lessons to be learned on any camp , this one I would have taken thicker poles and extra guys. Hand warmers are very underrated.. they can save frostbite for many hours .. cheers watching Dave it was one to remember . Cheers 👍
Having been through many blizzards, it’s doesn’t look like any fun. I notice your face and hands are not covered. What is the temp without windchill. -15 Celsius is unbearable to exposed skin and the wind would make to substantially worse.
The temp was hovering around-1 so not that cold, when the blizzard hit it got much colder, but at that point I had hand warmers and mittens… thanks for your comment u sound like you’re pretty experienced ATB👍
epic adventure ? No , just stupid !
Depends how you think i suppose.
Bloody hell Twiggy, them conditions looked savage! Respect 🫡 Some of us know Kinder extremely well, I’d say you do more than most mate, but in them conditions & white all over it’s just like a blank canvas & really dangerous. Great video & I’m amazed you still managed to film & not sack it off 👏 Take care & hope you get better soon fella ATB Dave
Cheers Dave , wouldn’t have gone up there if we didn’t know the route,we had all the gear and made good decisions on the day, would not go up there alone in that weather . Cheers for your comment. It was so memorable.
You were right to issue a warning before the video starts. I think the decision to go camping on the top of a hill in the peak district with a blizzard forecast could be described as a bit daft. It was touch and go and you looked absolutely knackered near the end. I was expecting you to ditch the gear to make it back alive. But you made it. Get well soon brother.
It looks like a fool’s adventure but we had everything planned, we knew we could have waited it out,the forecast was changing later,we had all the gear, knew the route, hard work but so worth it,all will be good , cheers Alan
Wow! That was unbelievable. I'm so glad you made it out alive! ✌️🇨🇦
So are we , glad we filmed it it wasn’t easy but so good now to have the record. Cheers
What the 😮 that giant blob of snow (looking like comically bad editing, no less) that just appears with a gust of wind….💨 🫣🧐
It was all real… savage weather tested us proper. Cheers
I think I would have used those big rocks as shelter for the tent. Nothing worse than being blown around in a snow storm. Taking your tent down in the wind, I used to tie a guy rope to the tent and backpack, before taking the tent down. This helps the tent not to fly away, with the wind. Hope you feel better soon.
Cheers for your advice, will take it on board, shelter from the rocks wouldn’t have worked , the pitch was too uneven and the winds kept changing directions ATB . Cheers 👍
The Unna. Interesting choice of tent, would have brought the Soulo. If you did it again, what would you do differently?
I’d take the soulo or the jannu which I now have , I took the unna because of space it provided me for a winter camp. I would have taken better spikes, other than that the descent down would have tested any gear .cheers.
@@twiggyescapes and face away from the wind?
I think you two were lucky to be together and have the right gear. Alone you may not have made it back and we'd be hearing about another frozen youtuber . Stay safe have fun
Yes you’re definitely right, never do a trip like that alone,we made a lot of decisions together to get us out of there safely… it would have been extremely hard solo. Cheers for your comment John . Cheers.
Did your companion do a video? If so, can you let me know how to find it. This is one for me to watch over and over. Brilliant.
Thanks,yes his channel is called trickofthetrail ,if u can’t find I’ll send the link . Cheers 👍
@ Thanks. Found it. Also a great watch. Right on the edge. Glad you both got down safely
Bloody idiots indeed . . .
Good one mate be careful
Thanks David … will do. Getting a bit old for this drama .. it was ace though 👍
Pmsl, 5 seconds into the clip and I just knew that I had to watch it.... " This content contains images of real idiots" genius, brilliant, epic and enticing.
Cheers Nobby we surely were idiots….people just love a good suffering festival , cheers 👍
Both EPIC videos from you 2 in brutal conditions !
WHY !
Thanks,mark got all the footage on the way back …his tent really surprised me . Cheers 👍
yeah..... more like Scott of the Antarctic that. Proper gnarly.
Yes it really was , glad to be warm again, cheers for your reply 🙂
Thanks god mountain up there is not very high in elevation otherwise you could have kill yourself...😢
