That was ace mate! Brought it all back how horrendous that weather was. Definitely one to remember. Loved the water on the lens and Emily’s thoughtful presents. You’re a good lad and dad! Al
Stumbled on this by coincidence - I was just up Red Screes this evening and it was pretty brutal. If you want an exposed spot to wind-test a tent you could do worse! But if things get out of hand the retreat down to the pass is quite dangerous, particularly in winter. There was a very nasty accident there recently. So please do take care. The route down the ridge towards Ambleside, on the other hand, is gentle and relatively safe with great views of Windermere and Grasmere. About 90 minutes up, 60 minutes down for an average walker, so a nice little trip when you are tight for time.
I was eating organic ol9ves here in Aussie land, looked up and you were eating olives... bizarre...lol! No one eats olives when camping, well, in videos for some reason. Even survival type YT channels surprisingly... A staple I am considering for my own adventures outdoors in near future. Good video! Thanks to you both. And Bluey.
Mate that was tough going. The weather was horrendous, but you both made light of it. You’ve got to do another camp, hopefully with calm weather and you can get the drones out. Top job guys kudos 👍
I’m looking forward to this! I’ve never had someone else’s perspective. It was a brilliant night though and I’m looking forward to the next (dry) one!!! Al
Bit windy to have your flaps open like that. And yes, definitely don't "baby" the gear otherwise you never go out. Look after it, care for it, use it, clean it, but don't leave it bubble wrapped in the cupboard. It's a bit like having booze and not drinking it.
Weather was wet, but humour dry as a bone as usual. Overstated and understated in equal measure. Thank you for taking the time and trouble presenting your excellent content again. I wish you Godspeed in achieving the longed-for peace you have been denied and deserve. Peace. .
Absolute classic mate, great test for kit, really nice to see Al and Blue on your vid, ya both did well considering the conditions, throughly enjoyed that thanks for sharing Chris 👍🍻
Nice to see that the war of the roses is in the past and a Yorkshire Lad and a Scouser can go camping together. I`m already subscribed to MCM outdoors which I enjoy. Chris need's a bedraggled, wet, sad looking, side eyeing Australian shepherd for his channel too.
Wow! What crazy weather you both had. Nice to see Alan and Blue. I'll be checking out his vids. Glad you both made it safe back down the mountain in the hurendous weather. Keep safe ⛰️🗻 ⛺ 🏕️ 👍😊
Spot on chaps, I always enjoy a good stormy camp and atop of my favourite mountain too. Al and Blue seem top, glad you guys had a great time. Can’t believe that’s the first time I’ve seen the Kirkstone Pass Inn empty mate 😳. Top video Chris 👍
If I had stay up there in that wind I would have to super glue my Arse to the ground or me and my tent would never be seen Again 😅great effort Chris and Al to, both tents earned there price brackets that night, glad you got down safe and the issue with your channel has been sorted, Keep safe, Les.
Thanks Les, yeah - the tents we used are a bit pricey, but the knowledge they're going to withstand forecast conditions is worth it. Thank you for watching pal.
Absolutely Steve - was a testing one - all good fun, half the battle in those conditions is mental - just get on with it and have fun I say - thanks for watching.
Loved this vid, I’m a relatively new subscriber but been following Al for a while now, so really enjoyed this 👍👍. I often wonder is it a rule of the wild camping community to only be allowed to take beer up a hill that is 6% and above 🤣 that first beer would’ve seen me off, but I spose if your gonna lug a few cans up a mountain they at least should be something that’d get you off your face in order to brave the conditions 👍😀
Thanks, yeah it was brutal up there but good fun. Blue is ace! I can have a dog if it doesn't moult, but I work full time so wouldn't be able to as I live on my own! Maybe one day.
Jeez that's hardcore camping if I ever! Great to see you,Alan & Blue out together..the dog genuinely did look to be enjoying himself 😂..one things for certain those two tents are both made for such conditions & they came through the trip well & truly proven..can you even imagine camping up there in a 2 or 3 season tent in that weather? Mid summer you would think you'd be fine but getting caught in that with lesser quality gear you'd be up the creek without a paddle to put it politely..life threatening for sure..thanks for taking us along on another brilliant adventure ⛰️🏕️
Thanks Andy - was certainly a good test for the gear - some tents may have struggled I guess as it was an exposed pitch - but made for a very atmospheric camp - ATB, Chris
@@MCMOutdoors How you finding the Revolution Race gear Chris? I seen you had one of their jackets on,i've been buying quite a bit of their gear of late & I'm fair impressed with it
Cracking video that. Exactly the reason right there that I’ve just indulged in a Soulo. I love the idea of being cocooned in there with the weather lashing at the fly sheet. We’ll Done for keeping the camera rolling.
Deary me Chris Mate as well as Al And Blue.This was At some points Brutal and intense but made for Viewing and this one you really won’t forget in a hurry. Simply A Worthy Watch and This sorts the Wheat from the Chaff showing what you guys tolerate as it’s not all Camping in heat and Sun. This sort of trip Shows the men from the boys.

Kudos to all 3 of you:- Chris Al and Blue.Loved this one,Great Collaboration 👍🚶♂️⛺️🥾
Absolutely brilliant video mate . Wind, rain, everything that makes a great wild camp, or even a great walk. I bet you were both glad when you eventually got back to the car. Personally, I'd have stayed in the pub, LOL All joking aside, it was a cracking video and it's obvious you both had a great time regardless of the weather. Just a shame we can't get the dogs perspective on the trip :)
Thanks for watching Richard 😊👍 was certainly a mental and physical test! I'll tell Al he needs to get a dog camera for Blue! I'm sure he could rig something up on his harness!
I do enjoy these videos where you have more challenging weather conditions. I should imagine it's some type 2 fun for you guys 🤣 I'd be interested in hearing how you got on with the jacket as I've had my eye on one for a while. Great video as always and great colab👍
Alright Benny mate, was a good laugh! Can't wait for a few winter storms and will be hitting the hill then too. Jacket is good so far, I was soaked on way down, so was Alan with a 400 quid ME Lhotse on - in conditions like that, you're getting wet no matter what eventually. I'll be doing a full review on the RR trousers and jacket very soon mate.
Loved that Chris, drove past the kirkstone pass Inn a couple of weeks ago whilst we were camping in ullswater, Mrs wouldn't let us stop for a pint but will get in one day, you must be a regular in there🤣
Good to see you back out in the Soulo in some testing conditions. Enjoyed the collaboration, always nice to see a well behaved woofster exploring the outdoors with their owner. I haven't been out for a camp in 6 or so weeks due to a relapse in my mental health but hoping to pack the kit and get hiking soon
Thoroughly enjoyed the video Chris, some nasty weather that! Love watching Bushman as well, I'm off to Brothers Water next week , I dont mind the rain but that was a bit much !
Thanks pal, we had it planned for a while so whatever the weather, it was happening 🤣 was a good laugh and with the right gear, it's all fine. Thanks for watching and enjoy your Lake District trip mate.
BRILLIANT...firstly chuffed to bits everything is ok with your channel bit panicky for a moment 🤦♂️...balls of Steel not bailing not gonna lie I wood of, well done Alan & blue aswell great collaboration guys, and finally The perfect gifts the spork and the Teddy 🧸 a fantastic choice , all the best chris stay safe 👍 🏕
Ah cheers Gary, it was a great camp mate in some genuinely very testing conditions. I was so chuffed that Emilie got those things for me and I'll take them with me on every vid - she's an amazing little girl. Thanks for watching pal and Alan's is live soon! ATB
Good on yous for getting out in that, I would have binned it and stopped in the pub. Rough going up but even worse when you hit the summit. Nice teddy and spork, made even better with her sent it, not too keen on the Baby Bio in a can mind. I think brutal conditions was an understatement but loved the optimism for the morning weather, shame it was not rewarded! Cheers Alan
Cracking video Chris you had a good time in some nasty weather up there that tent looks great seen a few people using it if I keep going up the hills I might splash out on one next year atvb jimmy 😎😎
Great experience and another great vid. Looks like the same day I attempted "the old man". Only got to brown pike from walla crag and then realised I'd forgot my suncream. Weather from the west coast was horrendous. Could hardly see the route so made the decision to head back down. Might have been different if I was with someone. Anyways, no shame in pulling out. It'll be there tomorrow. Think you might have to get that bear some waterproofs though or convert a drybag into a bivvy.🧸
Just come across your channel, that was brutal, feel sorry for Alan having to share a tent with a wet dog, nothing smells worse than a wet dog , new sub here
Loved this. Suffering for your art again Chris! Works so well as a colab you two. Bit of a lump in the throat with your daughter's presents (I'm a dad of two wee girls) and got it right in the feels. Don't know how you did all that with the amount of booze lol great stuff. Stay safe and looking forward to the next one! ATB !
Cheers mate - was a good camp, conditions made for an atmospheric one. Good on Emilie for choosing such lovely gifts. Thanks for watching mate and ATB!
What a mare. I could see you were dying to stand out having a bit craic with al. Bloody summer. Roll on winter. Less rain I’m sure. Still made for an exciting vid mate. Well handled on the rocks of terror and the clag of death. I’m like you also. Let the fit lads go on ahead 😂 enjoyed it all the same. Onto Als version next with a nice hot cuppa in my cosy front room. Of doom 👍
Wainwright always said to go at a slow pace and enjoy the views - so that will do me. The clag of eternal doom set in all camp, so did the cliffs of death - but we managed to blag it and piece together some footage. Forgot how good the Soulo is to be fair, what a tent. Thanks for watching mate.
wow that was a windy one! loved that shot of al on the walk up where the camera was wet, looked really cool! glad u left it in. Curious to know, did your boots stay dry? went on one last week, was head toe soaked on getting in the tent!
Love this video, most of all how weak you both look(humans)compared to the dog who was always waiting on you, now the bear was the star, I’ve been happily accompanied by a bear for some years now in the woods and travelling abroad, will post some pics of Cody on the MCM page, he will tell you his name once he knows you. atb Chiefy
Hi Chris, I think i've watched this about three times and looked like good fun in the bad weather. Just wondering why you and Al didn't whack on the waterproof bottoms to stop that water getting om yer legs and down in yer boots. Nought worse than wet feet in yer boots whilst scrambling. Who won then the soulo or the abisko lite? Atb and peace Andy H
I don't think I had any waterproof keks with me 😅 not sure Al did either - as for the tent off..... The Soulo lives on, I think Al's has died a few times now but he's managed to resurrect it! Cheers for watching again!
Tremendous mate, very enjoyable to watch 👌 I done Red Screes at the weekend but still have to edit the video, the weather was horrendous but fantastic at the same time 😀 I watch all your videos but only comment now and then, would love to meet up with you for a little hike sometime, although my channel is a bit daft to be honest lol 😆 anyways class video bud, all the best Chris 👍
Never touched alcohol in my life (sixty years old) and do not understand the necessity to mix alcohol with wild camping. But heh we are all different and as long as it does not impede decision making which could lead to an accident (especially walking up dead man's edge), all is fair in love and wild camping eh.
So Chris is that Revolution Race gear any good ? They say much about the technical side of things on their website. Does it stand up against the bigger brands ?
There's something cathartic about watching human beings pitting themselves against the elements and it reminds me of that adage " When the going gets tough - the tough get going ".Upside to everything - you didn't need to don the mozzy mask mate.Cracking yomp in the Lakes and all 3 of you ( sorry 4 - mustn't forget Ted ) survived to tell the tale.Does Ted have a name BTW ( i don't mean his/her name is BTW,BTW ! ).Padmasambhava kind of rolls off the tongue quite nicely ? Lovely gift from Emilie and as Alan said " Nice lad,nice dad ".Think she should find a name for Ted ? This is a reminder of the impact of not having a name - th-cam.com/video/zSAJ0l4OBHM/w-d-xo.html
Thanks for watching guys - Emilie told me his name was "Kisses" because she had given it lots for me - so that will be it! Was a great camp in some torrid weather, but cannot beat being in the tent whilst nice and warm with all that going on outside! ATB, Chris
Great video. Enjoyed watching you guys out in that awful weather... meant I was at home in the dry... hooray! You may both be awesome at adventuring and wild camping but you are both terrible at spelling names! Al's name is ALLEN not ALAN and Al you've put EMILY... it's EMILIE . You're welcome ;) Keep up the awesome work boys Xx
Hahaha! We're men! We need women to help with these things and I'm single so I have an excuse! Thanks for watching Nicola, I'm looking forward to ALLEN'S video (note correct use of apostrophe 😉). Was great to meet Al, he's a top bloke - must have been good knowing how battered we got when you were nice and warm! Looking forward to Al's vid now - cheers 👍🏕️
@@MCMOutdoors this properly made me laugh 🤣 duly noted your correct apostrophe use 👏👏👏 yeah I now understand why Al said he was too wet to camp the next few nights. Those conditions looked AWFUL! Rather you than me! 🙈🤣

both videos where great
Thanks James!
Fantastic 👍👍
Thanks for the visit mate
You mad ba****ds! Props lads that weather looked horrendous! Great video. Dont wait for the sun to come eh!🤣✌🏻
Was a good one Richard, made for an interesting camp - my boots are genuinely still drying out. Had zero sleep, but hey ho. Thanks for watching pal.
I love this one 🇦🇺🙃
Thanks for watching Kathy ! :-)

Thanks for the sub Sandra - all the best 👌
The weather is never abysmal in the Lakes - it is always awesome.
🤣 Good take on it Phil!
Think that was the wildest camp you’ve done I’m glad you we’re still there in the morning 👍👍
All good mate! Thanks for watching Stu
It was definitely the wettest I’ve ever done! It’s a lot easier in snowy conditions than wet. I love the British summer 🙃
Mate that was tough going. The weather was horrendous, but you both made light of it. You’ve got to do another camp, hopefully with calm weather and you can get the drones out. Top job guys kudos 👍
Cheers Joe, was tough but ace fun! Love bad weather camps - ATB and thanks for watching, Chris
Drone wars! It will definitely happen. Thanks Joe.
Absolutely brilliant! Hope there are many more wild camps together. Totally absorbing video. Great commentary.
Thanks Alan, was a good laugh mate - brutal weather and testing but good fun! Thanks very much for your comment. ATB
I’m looking forward to this! I’ve never had someone else’s perspective. It was a brilliant night though and I’m looking forward to the next (dry) one!!!

😁👍
Just finishing Chris's video and will head over to check yours out too👍
@@benny_mc It’s nice to see two perspectives! It was awesome having a collab camp with Chris. Definitely more to come.
Bit windy to have your flaps open like that. And yes, definitely don't "baby" the gear otherwise you never go out. Look after it, care for it, use it, clean it, but don't leave it bubble wrapped in the cupboard. It's a bit like having booze and not drinking it.
Cheers, thanks for watching Ian
OMG! Amazing video. I have no idea how you got up that steel and windy climb. Thanks for doing it and stay safe. 😊
Steep windy climb!

It'll be there tomorrow. Think you might have to get that bear some waterproofs though or convert a drybag into a bivvy.🧸
Decision to turn back in bad weather is always the right one! Trust the old instincts I say! Thanks for watching mate!
Really Great Vid Chris loved it
Atb Graham
Thanks Graham, just about dry now mate!

Yeh I bet love your tent Chris it’s awesome 👌cheers G
Just come across your channel, that was brutal, feel sorry for Alan having to share a tent with a wet dog, nothing smells worse than a wet dog , new sub here
Haha! Thanks very much Jon, appreciate it.
Crazy sods I’d have been like feck this and booked into the pub and sank a few gallon ! Just shows how hardy the soulo is 👍
Haha, yeah was rough mate! Had to be done though 😁
Loved this. Suffering for your art again Chris! Works so well as a colab you two. Bit of a lump in the throat with your daughter's presents (I'm a dad of two wee girls) and got it right in the feels. Don't know how you did all that with the amount of booze lol great stuff. Stay safe and looking forward to the next one! ATB !
Cheers mate - was a good camp, conditions made for an atmospheric one. Good on Emilie for choosing such lovely gifts. Thanks for watching mate and ATB!
@@MCMOutdoors 🙏
What a mare. I could see you were dying to stand out having a bit craic with al. Bloody summer. Roll on winter. Less rain I’m sure. Still made for an exciting vid mate. Well handled on the rocks of terror and the clag of death. I’m like you also. Let the fit lads go on ahead 😂 enjoyed it all the same. Onto Als version next with a nice hot cuppa in my cosy front room.
Of doom 👍
Wainwright always said to go at a slow pace and enjoy the views - so that will do me. The clag of eternal doom set in all camp, so did the cliffs of death - but we managed to blag it and piece together some footage. Forgot how good the Soulo is to be fair, what a tent. Thanks for watching mate.
I tried the Black Widow after you had it last time,tasted it didn’t like it so I downed it in one.Smiling for about an hour after though.
Haha! Same here! It's not nice - but draws you back for more!
Good stuff lads. What was the problem you had with the Abisko Chris?
He said the inner had a couple of pulls forming small holes. Mine is fine though. When you spend that money it needs to be perfect though!
Cheers
@@BUSHMANandBLUE Cheers mate.
Yep, tears in a new inner - twice!
@@MCMOutdoors Shame that. I've got the abisko. Looking forward to your next vid 👍
wow that was a windy one! loved that shot of al on the walk up where the camera was wet, looked really cool! glad u left it in. Curious to know, did your boots stay dry? went on one last week, was head toe soaked on getting in the tent!
Boots were soaked! Pants wet through - most would - so just ran down legs into boots. Had to pour out the water when got back to car 😂💦👢
Great videos, can I ask you what mic you are using with the gopro ?
Thanks Pierre - it is a rode wireless go - thanks for watching.
@@MCMOutdoors we use same setup then 👍
Great choice - works very well.
Gear Aid Tenacious Tape is the stuff you need.
Thanks mate, I'll check it out! 👌
Love this video, most of all how weak you both look(humans)compared to the dog who was always waiting on you, now the bear was the star, I’ve been happily accompanied by a bear for some years now in the woods and travelling abroad, will post some pics of Cody on the MCM page, he will tell you his name once he knows you. atb Chiefy
Thanks pal - glad you enjoyed it and thanks for your comment. ATB, Chris
It must be a good coat you've got if it kept you dry. My t-shirt is always wet when I am wearing my coat in the rain. What make of coat is it?
Cheers Karl, was a silence proshell jacket by Revolution Race, full review coming soon 😊
Hi Chris,
I think i've watched this about three times and looked like good fun in the bad weather. Just wondering why you and Al didn't whack on the waterproof bottoms to stop that water getting om yer legs and down in yer boots. Nought worse than wet feet in yer boots whilst scrambling. Who won then the soulo or the abisko lite?
Atb and peace
Andy H
I don't think I had any waterproof keks with me 😅 not sure Al did either - as for the tent off..... The Soulo lives on, I think Al's has died a few times now but he's managed to resurrect it! Cheers for watching again!
Tremendous mate, very enjoyable to watch 👌 I done Red Screes at the weekend but still have to edit the video, the weather was horrendous but fantastic at the same time 😀 I watch all your videos but only comment now and then, would love to meet up with you for a little hike sometime, although my channel is a bit daft to be honest lol 😆 anyways class video bud, all the best Chris 👍
Cracking mountain isn't it mate! Thanks for your comment pal - ATB
As Donald Glover once said.. "feels like summer" 🤣
😂😂😂
Never touched alcohol in my life (sixty years old) and do not understand the necessity to mix alcohol with wild camping. But heh we are all different and as long as it does not impede decision making which could lead to an accident (especially walking up dead man's edge), all is fair in love and wild camping eh.
It's not necessity, it's a choice. Thanks for watching.
Wow that is wild ! Top video pal ,how do I support the channel with a coffee? 👍
Cheers guys - glad you enjoyed. There is a link pinned as the top comment! Also a link in description. Thanks v much 😊👍🏕️
What jacket were you wearing plse Chris?
Silence Proshell by Revolution Race mate - full review coming soon!
So Chris is that Revolution Race gear any good ? They say much about the technical side of things on their website. Does it stand up against the bigger brands ?
Stay tuned for a full review of both the jacket and trousers mate 👍
@@MCMOutdoors looking forward to that one pal 👍😎
What's your mates vlog called?
Busham and Blue mate 👍 think I left a link in description 👍
@@MCMOutdoors cheers
There's something cathartic about watching human beings pitting themselves against the elements and it reminds me of that adage " When the going gets tough - the tough get going ".Upside to everything - you didn't need to don the mozzy mask mate.Cracking yomp in the Lakes and all 3 of you ( sorry 4 - mustn't forget Ted ) survived to tell the tale.Does Ted have a name BTW ( i don't mean his/her name is BTW,BTW ! ).Padmasambhava kind of rolls off the tongue quite nicely ? Lovely gift from Emilie and as Alan said " Nice lad,nice dad ".Think she should find a name for Ted ?
This is a reminder of the impact of not having a name - th-cam.com/video/zSAJ0l4OBHM/w-d-xo.html
Thanks for watching guys - Emilie told me his name was "Kisses" because she had given it lots for me - so that will be it! Was a great camp in some torrid weather, but cannot beat being in the tent whilst nice and warm with all that going on outside! ATB, Chris
@@MCMOutdoors Yes i think that's a smashing name Chris and comes with lots of love too !
😊❤️😊
Great video. Enjoyed watching you guys out in that awful weather... meant I was at home in the dry... hooray! You may both be awesome at adventuring and wild camping but you are both terrible at spelling names! Al's name is ALLEN not ALAN and Al you've put EMILY... it's EMILIE . You're welcome ;) Keep up the awesome work boys Xx
Hahaha! We're men! We need women to help with these things and I'm single so I have an excuse! Thanks for watching Nicola, I'm looking forward to ALLEN'S video (note correct use of apostrophe 😉). Was great to meet Al, he's a top bloke - must have been good knowing how battered we got when you were nice and warm! Looking forward to Al's vid now - cheers 👍🏕️
@@MCMOutdoors this properly made me laugh 🤣 duly noted your correct apostrophe use 👏👏👏 yeah I now understand why Al said he was too wet to camp the next few nights. Those conditions looked AWFUL! Rather you than me! 🙈🤣
If those areas belonged to germany, the german government would have already polluted them all with wind turbines.
