    When this guy says he's going to make some dinner I assumed he was going to pull out a freeze-dried ration and boil some water on his gas cylinder stove. You know, quick and easy. But no, he starts chopping fresh veggies and browning 1/2 pound of beef. But that's not all, he whacks out a Trangia alcohol burner in those gale-force winds, and then proceeds to lit it with a match, just to make himself a proper meal. That's my new definition of dedication. Never again will I complain about my camp food.

I only see and respond to the comments that are sent directly to me or if I’m tagged in the reply. Otherwise they don’t even show up in my TH-cam studio comments section 👍. Although, I’m not really bothered by stranger comments. I taught biology and chemistry to high school students for over a decade. Hormonal teenagers can say far worse things than internet couch experts 😂. Besides it only shows as engagement with the algorithm so it’s great for a videos performance 👍. I really appreciate you watching and taking the time to comment. Hope you have a nice weekend!

This is just a hobby of mine and my family is the most important thing.

I do this because I love it. I drive an old car and I probably will until the wheels fall off, I still wear clothing I’ve had for 15 years, I don’t waste money on nonsense other than travel with my family and camping gear 😅 (because I have an addiction to gear) and it’s what I love to do.

      I spent a few months in 2017-2018 motorcycle camping, so all of my stuff is small and light to fit on the bike. tho the tent is a nice brand new upgrade from my crappy lil coleman sundome. this will be her maiden voyage.

      The need for food, water and shelter is obviously essential for life. When we see a warm, dry and comfortable shelter in severe weather, it's almost impossible not to get a cozy feeling.

    Question - your meals all look delicious. But why don’t you do the prep (cutting spring onions, slicing garlic, etc ) at home, before you set out? It would save some time (and waste) once you start to cook?

    • @GoingSoloOutdoors
      @GoingSoloOutdoors  9 หลายเดือนก่อน +6

      That’s a great question. Typically I bag all my ingredients a day or two before a camp. The morning of the camp I take it out of the fridge drop my kids off at school and have typically a 4.5hr drive then a few hours to hike. Most of the time if I were to cut certain ingredients ahead of time and bag them, they either loose their moisture or get slimy and mushy. And sometimes my plans also change completely and all the ingredients can remain fresher for a few days longer until I can actually get out for the camp because they are uncut. I want to have a fresh meal like I would make it at home while I’m out so I don’t mind the chopping at camp. I enjoy the entire cooking experience 👍.

    I just found your channel and man I’m glad I did. Watching this video really made me wanna go try these experiences. Having to find a spot in the middle of this bad weather, set up a tent and cook dinner after all that, must be a really rewarding experience!

      Welcome to the channel! These trips are definitely a bit of a reset button for me. The challenging trips are rewarding in the end. It’s never ideal to camp in conditions like this but it makes you appreciate the sunny hikes and sunsets from outside of the tent a bit more. Really appreciate you watching and taking the time to comment. All the best 👍

    I once walked over grizedale tarn next to dolly wagon pike from patterdale and over to grassmere and it looked a little bit like what you encountered. Brings back memories of my home country .I am from the lakes and you kind of expect bad weather when you go out walking in the lake district and appreciate what you get if its not raining . I had to make sure all my pack contents were in zip lock bags and dry packs. also always wore sealskin socks. Thank you for making this video of your walk in the lake district.

    Tenacity backed up with a positive mental attitude in spades. Knowing that you have top class kit with you certainly helps you psychologically when you encounter perilous conditions like you experienced in the wettest area of the UK .
    Sone good tips in the vid and the importance of having tertiary back up with the Garmin In Reach. It has definitely prompted me to make a purchase including an emergency bothy shelter when I'm up on the high fells with my small group of fellow hikers.
    Just another great video,highlighting the Lake District in its characteristic weather patterns which can turn nasty and dangerous in the blink of an eye.
    I also have to comment again on your culinary skills,simply amazing.
    Take care and ATB.

      You’re absolutely right about the psychological benefit of having kit with me that I know I can trust. It definitely helps to maintain my focus on other aspects of the camp 👍. Definitely recommend carrying some kind of emergency device. Doesn’t necessarily have to be a Garmin as there are many more options available now that were not available when I purchased mine. But I have been happy with its extra functionality 👍. Really appreciate the comments Michael! All the best!

    I admire your positive attitude in the face of truly adverse conditions. Your tent took quite a pounding from the looks of things -- I am happy that your excursions out of it to readjust its lines and stakes were not prompted by a substantial collapse of the tent itself. Your contemplative time to prepare your meal was a nice contrast to the extreme conditions in which you found yourself. I very much enjoyed watching this!

    • @GoingSoloOutdoors
      @GoingSoloOutdoors  4 หลายเดือนก่อน

      Glad you enjoyed it! When I was initially setting up the tent, many of this pegs were hard to get into the ground because it was very rocky. My priority at that time was to just get the tent up and secure enough pegs that I would have time to get changed into some dry warm clothing. I knew I would have to go back out at some point to readjust and better anchor a few of the pegs with rocks. It was nice I was able to relax and make myself a nice meal in the meantime before the winds picked up even more. Really appreciate you watching and taking the time to comment. Hope you have a nice week.
