Great video again mate, looks amazing crazy but bet it was top !
Yeh it was absolutely class putting yourself through them temperatures really makes you appreciate a warm bed ahha but thanks for the support as always brother its greatly appreciated ❤️
love it mate wish my friends would do this with me, and your dogs are so cute. brilliant vid
Glad you liked the vid and All the lads you see in this video i made through doing summit camps get out there socialise and youll have mates to do it with i no time
Crackin video mate. Just got home from my first wild camp of the year, was a cold night! Watching this just made me realise i would have died in those conditions with my current tent 😂😂
Thanks mate glad you liked it! Where did you end up and how cold was it?
I probably wouldn’t have been cold if my sleeping mat didn’t pop 🥲
@herethereandeverywhereYT we stayed on a spot along the sandstone trail, Bulkeley hill.
Was just around freezing i reckon but lots of wind. I actually have the same pad as you, well I have the alpine version but very simular. So was good to watch how you mended it on the fly. I have the nemo osmo dagger 2p for my tent and it just has too much ventilation! Haha
Yeh its a great tent but definitely 3 seasons tent and not a 4 like the vern
Mint video as usual, ready for the next one 👀
Cheers brother next one is our bothy adventure in the snow
Yes , absolutely mint. Footprint nearly blows away , dogs rip the mat & it's their fault ! Pegs struggle to go in frozen ground ! Boots are frozen. Who'd have thought that in winter ?
@@tonylashmar11 it’s all part of the fun, bet you’re one of the people that buy all the gear and camp mam tor because it’s unsafe up a mountain in the cold😂😂
@dannygriesbach5178 It should be used as a training video of "how not to." Mint. Ready for the next one .😁
Tony its all part of the fun pushing yourself out of your comfort zone to endure challenges like frozen ground, wind and sometimes gear failure but once you overcome those challenges it builds you’re character but theres also nights were no gear breaks and its just pure bliss i just choose to find a positive from both scenarios
Awesome video, great effort with a crook knee man ... legend
Good to see a bunch of good mates, (dogs included) with similar interests getting out in the outdoors & having a blast ... icicles in the testicles springs to mind lol
My Labradors would tow me up to the top of a hill like that in no time lol, I love your happy tail wagging little mates.
As you probably already know there's a big science in winter cooking, especially at altitude, the higher the Propane percentage will help the gas flow (70/30 Butane-Propane is good)
Here in NZ with altitude sometimes the cannisters will freeze and not work at all. So I used to use a liquid fuel (white spirits) cooker in the winter sometimes ..... bout the same size and weight roughly.
Thanks man, my pups would also drag me up the hills its just a problem when there dragging you back down then ahah
And i think ill be getting a liquid burner in future for these cold winter nights were getting i just need to replace my sleeping mat before buying any other camping gear 😅
There you go mate. £5 towards the new mat, definitely no Corah next time. Scratchy matty, no campy! Shout out for you on my next video.
Thank you for your support i appreciate it so much and she is definitely staying at home until i get her some doggy socks to cover them super sharp claws of hers. Also looking forward to your next video as i do with them all.
Was that your van i saw in farny tesco earlier???
Yeah that sounds like a bit of Bolton in your accent 😅...
Yeh it probably was ahah you cant really miss that thing stickered up with the YT logo all around it 😂
Thanks for leaving a comment its usually a you just cut me up you pr*ck 😅
Great video mate. Loved the dogs in the sleeping bag 😂
Cheers mate glad you enjoyed it and the dogs are great hot water bottles just a shame she bloody popped my sleeping mat
Thanks
My man thanks for the support brother ❤️
We doing a bushcraft camp this weekend? Cause im sick of the summits for now ahhaa
Your braver than me in that weather!
All part of the fun ey
Some really amazing views, wish I had the time to do things like this
Im sure you could make the time even if its a one off!
Need get that knee sorted as soon as. Speaking from experience mate
Yeh i definitely will be doing gunna get a physio booked monday just waiting to be paid
@herethereandeverywhereYT top man, last thing you need to be injured. Especially with what you do 😂
Definitely not
Two seconds in and my eyes honestly thought the dog was falling away ahahahs
They give me quite afew scares throughout the day
Was a cold night 🥶
Time to upgrade the sleeping mat too?
Got lucky with that ground sheet 😂! How the hell the dog rip the nemo bro? My dog jumps and runs all over my big Agnes never has an issue isit the material used?
I know mate i thought it was gone you see me hesitate for a second until i realise i can grab it without falling to my death and as for the nemo i dont know man i think its cause korra likes to dig to get comfy so her claws have probably took it out as snoops been on 7/8 trips with me and never broke anything
How is the big agnes i might have to try that next to replace the tensor
@herethereandeverywhereYT ye genuinely thought it was a gonner 😂! At least you got it repaired and didn’t have to bail, big Agnes is pretty sweet I sleep cold if it drops below -8 so not as warm as my thermarest but for comfort its far superior. Probably need a foil mat under it when it get below -6ish but to be honest I can never be arsed bringing one
Im thinking about getting the nemo tensor extreme cause its r value is 8.2 which is crazy and my tensor is super comfy but its nearly £300 so could save myself afew quid by getting the big agnes and a foil mat
Whats the r value on the big agnes?
Torch is upside down 😐😂
Wind speed usuallly feel worse inside the tent
Yeh i noticed that in the edit too 😂it was too cold to worry about which way my torch was and yeh i know because its basically a big kite but id say im getting fairly familiar with what certain wind speeds feel like but i would love a device to measure the wind speed in future
🤔 After blaming corah for the pad rip.... Did the cold make you own up the next morning.... "if I didn't pop the pad!" 🤔😂🤣😂🤣😂😂🤣😂🤣
It was definitely korra the menace
Just the cold getting to my head that
@herethereandeverywhereYT 🐕
You shouldn't be group camping in the Lakes!
For what reason?
@herethereandeverywhereYT there are guidelines set by the landowners , and one is a maximum of two tents. It is private land, and you really should follow these guidelines. Sadly there are too many people ignoring the rules and the Lake District is swamped with tents.
😂😂😂oh no 4 1 man tents on a summit for the night whilst no ones bloody up there and we go once the sun rises
What exactly is your agenda here? Are you genuinely trying to contribute something meaningful, or are you just trolling? If you care as much as you claim, why not channel that energy into something productive-like planting trees or picking up litter? The fact that you take the time to attack people in comment sections demonstrates that you do care-at least enough to engage. So why not back that up with real action? You can’t claim indifference when you’re actively involved in criticizing others.
Here’s a challenge for you: Did you know that it’s possible to act outside of strict laws if your actions are informed and reasonable? For instance, while it’s illegal to drive through a red light, there are rare scenarios where doing so might be justifiable, such as in emergencies where safety depends on it, or sound judgment for instance if theres no cars. Similarly, wild camping isn’t universally allowed, but in cases where campers are respectful, responsible, and mindful of the environment-such as avoiding private property or disturbing others-exceptions can be made in practice, even if not in strict legality.
The problem is, I feel the need to explain this in depth because people like you tend to view everything in a rigid, binary fashion, ignoring the nuances behind why laws exist. Take traffic laws, for example: Red lights and speed limits exist to account for individuals with poor judgment, ensuring the majority can operate safely. A 30 mph limit isn’t because every driver is unsafe above that speed, but because it compensates for those who might otherwise lack the ability to make sound decisions.
The same logic applies to laws about wild camping. Restrictions are often in place because large groups increase the likelihood of disruptive behavior, like noise or littering. However, there are exceptions: Small groups of responsible campers have demonstrated-time and time again-that they respect the land and leave no trace behind. In those cases, the law, while technically still applicable, doesn’t align with the reality of their behavior.
And yes, you’ll probably laugh at that statement, but ask yourself: Why? Dismissing this idea outright says more about your unwillingness to think critically than it does about the argument itself. It should serve as a wake-up call. Instead of treating laws as immovable absolutes, consider the purpose behind them and the situations in which they might not apply universally.
If you don’t understand what I’m saying, read it again. Some things can’t be taught, and unfortunately, some people simply lack the capacity for critical thinking. It’s the same reason flat-earthers still exist-they’re unable to recognize the flaws in their reasoning. If you knew you were thinking irrationally, you’d correct it. But if you can’t even recognize it, well, that’s the problem.
I suspect you’ll respond with something snarky. But I hope you take a moment to reflect on what’s been said, rather than resorting to an easy dismissal. If you truly care enough to attack someone in a comment section, it’s clear you have the energy to make a difference in a meaningful way. Why not use it productively?
Wow i couldn’t have worded that any better if i tried you said it exactly as it is cant wait for Richards response to that
They aren't the thickest but when I take the pooch I use the oex traverse xl self inflating mat, it's a much thicker material and foam inner, my boy hasn't managed to get through it yet 😂
@@PeaceOutdoors i think ill probably buy the pups some socks that has been the most popular resolution to the problem thats if theyll wear them ahah if not ot might be foam mats in future
@herethereandeverywhereYT not a bad shout if they will keep them on. Looking at getting the Vern 2 for next winter. Not managed to get out much this winter. Want to start making a few videos I think too, just need to get a bit of gear together.
@@PeaceOutdoors yeh the vern 2 looks awesome i really wanted it but was to heavy for my main tent so will hopefully pick one up with the stove jack for some nice hot tent camping
And good luck with the videos my advice is just make them the gear will come the more you do it
Oh, I've got plenty camping gear, and not enough room to store it. 😅 I meant camera etc, also need to get used to talking to a camera 😂
@@PeaceOutdoors i filmed most of my first videos on my iphone the cameras and drones will come eventually the more you make the videos only thing you need is good audio
