WINDY WILD CAMPING - FASTPACKING with Lightweight Gear - STICKLE TARN LAKE DISTRICT UK

- DISMAYED
A decent run out carrying all my kit for a cold night camping out. I use my old Hilleberg tent to keep the weather off and some PHDesigns down kit to keep me warm. Blue helped my locate a load of rubbish left by some ‘fly campers’ which was a disgrace not abiding by the ‘leave no trace’ rule. I tidy up and carry the lot back down the mountain to the bin. Adding to my annoyance I loose my drone which means I left a trace! After a total of near two days searching using the last GPS it was no where to be found. DJI were useless so I’ve analysed the flight data myself and will be heading back to find it soon.
Even with the above it was still amazing to be out in the wilds of the Lake District and getting some good exercise for both the dog and I.
Enjoy your adventures and leave no trace🥰
All love
Al and Blue

PHDesigns - M.Degree 200K Sleeping Bag
For ultralight backpacking or multi day adventure racing with a typical operating temperature of +4C. This bag is useable in three seasons alone but with added down clothing or adding an over bag into winter to. Designed minimally with 1000 fill power down to maximise the warmth to weight ratio with an overall weight of just 340g!!!
www.phdesigns.co.uk/minimus-d...
PHDesigns - Minimus Down Trousers
Ultralight (230g) packable down trousers using 900 fill power down. Simple design to reduce weight but functionally perfect for those colder nights at camp with a typical operating temperature of -5C.

PHDesigns - Wafer Ultima K Down Jacket
Weighing in at just 185g (without hood) this jacket maximises warmth to weight ratio and will keep you warm down to freezing. Ideal to put on when you arrive at camp with a depleted body after a hard day moving. It uses the same 1000 fill power down as their sleeping bags and like all of PHDesigns gear it is made in the UK. Mine is a standard sized medium and fits me perfectly and I’m 6ft with a slim (ish) athletic build but like many of their garments you can order custom sizes to suit your body shape and size. No other compant seems to do that! It looks good, it feels good and due to it’s weight and pack size worth carrying even just for emergency situations. I’ll be wearing this a lot in all parts of my life!

100 % respect to you clearing other peoples crap....kudos to Blue for spotting the trash and alerting you ( there is a magnificent bond between you two). Hope the drone turns up 🏴🥃🏴🥾🥾
Yes dogs definitely have that extra sense 👌
Blue had a birthday this week. He is 8 years old now 🎉 . He asked me to say thank you for all the lovely treats you send him. Xxx
He is a good lad and looks after his Gran very well. He gives me a “smile” every morning when staying with us 😂
Thanks Mum! 🥰
Happy birthday blue
Happy birthday Blue 🎂 🥳
Aww❤
And Blue was sitting, growling with eyes glued on the rubbish from a distance, clever dog ! Thank you for clearing up after the dim wits!
I’m a pretty mellow sort of a bloke but when I see morons leaving their trash after them it makes me want to knock some heads together.
Great video, and much respect to you for making things beautiful once more (just as well you train!). 👍🏻
😂that’s exactly me. It just bemuses me
Even at 15 , I proudly wear a t-shirt saying "leave no trace" and stick to it... it really annoys me when things like that happen, it shines a bad light upon us respectful wild campers who only endeavour to sink into the tranquil pool of nature! Love the videos and Blue, looking forward to the next one.
Good on you dude 👊. It’s awesome to know that there are some good people growing up with the right morals.
It's so hard to believe that there are people who would surround themselves with beauty and then muck it up like that. WHY ??!! WHAT IS WRONG WITH THEIR HEADS ??
Thank you soooo much Allen. You and Blue are GOOD MEN !!
P.S. I'm sorry that I haven't been around for some time. My health is going bad rather quickly, but the best medicine for that is a good dose of you and Blue.
A little humor from Steve Wallis. And some good BLIZZARDS with Jarl.
Now I'm healed 😌 ☺
Thank you for hauling another man's trash off the beautiful earth 🌎 ❤
Well I’m glad you can get some enjoyment from peoples videos. I hope your health improves my friend. 👊
They probably had a just stop oil protest to go to
I can't speak for Europe but the people who do that in the United States are section 8 pieces of crap who are on state assistance and whose families have been on state help for multiple generations.
Big Kudos for picking someone 💩 up that they left! Boils my blood that! Well done pal 👍🏻👍🏻
Bunch of clowns mate!! Well done to you & Blue for sorting it out! And keep these great adventures coming!!
Hope you recovered the drone. Hope BLUE had a warm birthday 'party' - so admirable dog! - this shepherd alarmed you!! tears roll down when I see the team you form, finally I SHALL say about you "act what you preach" and you do, thus THANK YOU, this attitude is a merit. regards
You:
Blue: C'mon, slowpoke!
😂
"A bit of exercise" you say. He runs, jogs, and walks over mountains carying a pack! 🤩 So wonderful to be young and so fit, travelling with your wonderful companion. I look back at what I did years ago and really hate that I am now old with arthritis. Just to go for a walk is a trial. You are an inspiration.😀
This is why we all need to do more whilst our bodies work well. I’m glad I can take you with me on these adventures 😬
Disgusting people leaving junk around makes my blood boil .
You’re such a wonderful person thank god for people like you wish there was more in the world.
Thank you for a great video loved it . ❤❤
There are plenty of good people out there 😬
I really hope that you find your drone Al..
Good luck with that matey..
Just finished a nightshift, a Bushman and Blue video is just what's needed right now 😀
As long as we have people like you Al, who care about the fells and mountains, we know they are protected from the idiots. Thanks mate for showing how a real man does his share.👍👏
Nice one Al. I always end up coming down with more than I took up when walking - I found a huge mess left by a large party on Angle Tarn last year, there was no way I could carry it all but I took what I could carry, wore all the clothes I had in my bag, filled that and then constructed a bundle like yours and strapped that to my bag as well, and loaded up 2 big Aldi bags with rubbish and dragged it down. Was absolutely knackered when I got to the bottom. Winds me up when people go the the most beautiful places on earth and leave their shit behind them!!
That's the problem when some irresponsible people try to experience wild camping but cannot abide by the rules of leaving no trace!
I'm sick of finding camping gear up the back of Ennerdale, dubbs hut, it's like they go up there in their argos special tent then can't be arsed bringing it back down,nor they get caught out with the weather and abandon the camp leaving all their beer cans and camping gear behind.
I've seen this 3 times so far this year alone.
You spend a fortune o lightweight gear then end up carrying other folks crap out anyways 🤬
Such a contrast fly camper and you ..what a top fella !
Happy belated birthday wishes blue 🎉🎉🎉🎉
I absolutely love your videos, Al. Watching you and Blue doing what you love is so awesome. Watching you having to carry someone's trash off the mountain is a bit more infuriating. Sorry you had to deal with that. And I'm very sorry that you lost your drone. Hoping that you will be able to locate it on your next trip up the mountain. Sending positive thoughts that you are able to find your drone unharmed. Until next time ...
Thanks Carla… received 🥰
Love watching your videos, love Blue
Thank you Al for carrying down someone else’s stuff. Your a wild camping star ❤
Thank you and blueie for cleaning up
You and bluey are the mountain angels...thanks for making it a better place...
😂 we will take that but there are many others out there like me👍👍👍
Great video, hope u get your drone back . RESPECT bringing that dumped kit down..love blue x
Great video again. And indeed, it's sometimes almost enraging to see trash left behind. It's the exact opposite of the clean and pristine nature that hikers enjoy so much.
Thanks again for another great vid.
Humans are slowly destroying the planet although the planet will fight back👍👍👍
Nice one bud. Shame about the drone. Good luck finding it.
Watching now 510 am. In America ❤❤❤
Fly Campers is far too good a term to be used for them, and I simply call them Fly Wankers! 🤬
Sadly it is a worldwide phenomenon and something that has gone on for a century...and just increases year by year. The sight of huge piles of rubbish left in stunning locations of our beautiful planet...just kills the soul.
Watching this video was both disheartening and spirit lifting. It was poignant to realise that Blue 💙 was the one that first noticed it...and your disgust at what was revealed as you reached the brow of that hill was shared by us all. You should be proud 🦚 of your actions👼 in carrying the heavy burden of others sheer laziness. Truly a king 👑 among men.
Hopefully you eventually located the lost drone mate.
Thanks mate much appreciated. I’d agree with ‘fly wankers’😂
It's always nice to see you and Blue out and about.
Thank you so much for cleaning up those other people's mess. ❤
Total respect Al taking all that rubbish off the hills have a beer on me 😊
Beautiful doggy.
Dogs are great 👍
What a lovely human you are
Thanks. We can all do more👌
@@BUSHMANandBLUE we certainly can. Only recently found your channel and making my way through your vids and loving the vibe. Gave you a follow on Insta too. Look forward to seeing more, it’s nice to stumble across a channel that inspires you. Been wanting to get into wild camping for a long time but as a solo female who has never even pitched a tent, have been putting it off for fear of not knowing where to start. Im slowly collecting tips and confidence from you so thank you. Im at peace in the mountains, walked hundreds of them and done many scrambles but yet to dare to stay there at night its a tad scary for me. Thank you for your expertise, knowledge and imparting your wisdom. Take care🙏
Just do one somewhere simple even close to home then after that you’ll find it easy. It’s just the anxiety for the unknown. You’ll nail it👊
@@BUSHMANandBLUE superb. Thank you for being so approachable. Will try and let you know ( waiting for dry weather ha! ). Will leave you to enjoy your evening and catch you another time 🤟
Hey, just want to thank you for sharing this video as well as taking care of the rubbish. Admireble and inspiring.
Well it might help a few people litter less or litter pick more👍👍👍
Al, thank you for all that you do. Even picking up others’ stuff. You inspire me and many others to get out and enjoy nature! I do a lot more outdoor activities because of your example!
What a hero. Top marks for being a wild camping ambassador. This is why good people can't have nice things.
Brilliant video Alan i can't believe some people they have no respect leaving that mess your a legend carrying all that back down total respect for you look forward to your next one xx
Thanks Sandra. As I said if I don’t carry it down then no one will.
Thx for the great video .thank god for people like you shame on the people who left all the rubbish .your truly inspirational .and just love blue hes a star ...
Epic views 😊
You and Blue are such a joy to watch😊Sorry you had to pick up after people who left their trash behind😢. Beautiful mountain views as always. Belated Happy Birthday Blue🎉. Ilove the Fall and Winter and cant wait for your travels and ca.ping in the Snow. ❤
You're hero for all of humanity. Kudos for getting that shot down the mountain. ❤
Great vid Al, Never really understood what the bell ends who leave litter like this see in the lake District and similar places. Sureley one of the reason they would visit is because of the outstanding beauty?
It’s bemusing!
FairPlay jockey lad 👍
Thankyou so much for tidying someone’s total mess..
Whoever they are they are disgusting..
Once again thankyou Al..
🌜🦋🦋 love seeing blue inside and warm, love him 🦋🦋🌛
Really well done for taking that crap off the hill given you were on your own - hope you get your drone back... you do good stuff with it and me/we all wanna see you put more footage from it out!
Well done in cleaning up 👍
Wow, for a minute there I thought someone destroyed your camp that you just set up. It's awful how some people are so uncaring. We did allot of boating and camping in our younger years and always picked up stuff from others too. Thank you for caring and taking good care of your beautiful country. Travel safe, you and Blue.
An amazing view.
Good on ya for tidying that up, really annoying some people are!!!
Those gates are ingenious!
They are! Many I’ve come across all slightly different
Trolls underneath the bridge, hahahaha?? Nice tarn. 🇬🇧
😂 I thought that
My fave part of the lakes ❤
Thats disgusting for idiots to be leaving that shite behind......i dont blame you for being pissed of I'd be absolutely fuming. You shouldn't have to but well done for moving that rubbish and helping to keep our beautiful countryside trace free.....i applaud you 👏
Brilliant brilliant brilliant brilliant brilliant brilliant brilliant brilliant Al And Blue absolutely brilliantly brilliant..
Thank you both..
Brilliant thanks😊
Great video mate, incredible performance even without the wombling duty. Really good example you set us all, those idiots don't deserve to live in such a beautiful place. Gutted to hear about your drone, hope you find it. Stay strong my friend.
Hello from Missouri. With every video, I find myself liking the newest even more! Great work Al & Blue. Best o' luck on the drone search.
I used to straggle to go sleep until I find out your channel I go sleep watching your videos I’m preparing my self for next summer I start camping in my garden I follow every tips you give
keep doing what you doing coz we love it
I live in London but my heart is Lake District and highlands 🤞
😂 I’m glad I’m that boring I can send you to sleep😂. Joking aside thank you for watching and I’m glad I can take you out of London 👍👍👍
@@BUSHMANandBLUE definitely not boring at all my friend I absolutely love watching your videos as you said it takes me away from this so busy city life
Peace and love ✌️
I wish you the best in life and blue
Well done Al for clearing someone else's rubbish up. You hit the nail on the head when comparing Fly Campers , or as I call them "Dirty Campers " with responsible Wild Campers. Who respect the land, environment and nature .Boils my blood this irresponsible, selfish , disrespectful attitude these folk have who give" Real Wild Campers" bad press in the media. Thanks for clearing up the mess and highlighting the difference between the two types of camper. 👏👏
Yes mate it’s important for people to realise we are a good set of humans leaving no trace. Everyone who watches my videos will already be that though I guess. Cheers Steve.
Great video and fair play to you, it shouldn’t be your responsibility but grateful people like yourself are out there spreading the LNT message and sadly clearing up other’s crap. Cracking up there too, I did those fells last month and camped on Thunacarr knott. Atb to you and blue
I think we can all help with the litter picking but it needs addressing at the source with some tougher punishments. Cheers Will
So beautiful, the scenery’s not bad either 😂. Happy Birthday Bluey, give him a cuddle from me! Thank you for the lovely footage again, much appreciated and thank you from all of us who love the countryside for cleaning all the crap up, that those ‘brainless turds left behind’ I really hope you found your drone. 🤞 ❤
I have to say that bog dancing sounds a lot nicer than bog trotting 🤣🤣🤣
😂
Blue is so beaut 💙💙
Flipping fly campers grrr 😡 these idiots give rest of us a bad name. I'm a wild swimmer and we get stick for the idiots too. Good one mate, I couldn't have left the rubbish either ❤
Terrific video. As I do my office work and was looking for a mental getaway as I sit in my office, I came across this new video. Perfect.
Hey al me and my mam love your videos you're incredibly inspiring, well done for moving all that discarded stuff on your own while carrying your own kit and continuing to film that must have took some doing, hope you get your drone back too
Keep the videos coming bud we really look forward to seeing them 😊
Quare set of legs AL😊brilliant as always best videos for night time viewing ❤
Fantastic effort carrying all that rubbish off the hill, hopefully some good karma will be returned to you, and find your drone safe and sound.
Good luck with the search!
Thanks. It was an effort too😂. My karma is that doing good makes you feel good.
Great Video Spicy Lips!
Absolutely dreadful- people dumping rubbish in such a wild beautiful place. What a shame to lose your drone. Thank-you for sharing your experiences.
Top vid that mate👍 if I lived a bit closer I'd come and give you a lift drone hunting
Cheers buddy 👊
As you say there are also a lot of good people out there, and you are one of them, thanks so much for taking those vermins rubbish off the mountain, not everyone would carry that lot aswel as there own gear so good on you Al 👍
Thanks Phil. You always feel good for doing good👍👍👍
Makes me sad to see our countryside being used as a dump. Fantastic job mate taking the rubbish off the mountain. Da iawn bachgen dda. Hope you found your drone.
Just disrespectful laziness
Great new video, good man you are to carry someone's trash down the mt. Shame on those thoughtless people. You have great ethical and strong moral compass. Your parents raised a good son. God bless you and Blue and your family.❤😊
I was raised well and both my parents are awesome. I haven’t found the drone… yet
Brilliant job
27:07 Would be an awesome picture to frame!
Respect, man! 👊
Really good video mate, great scenery and an excellent running route. My god though seeing all that shite left up there made me so angry, I'd love to have caught them so I could explain some things 😡!!. Well done for bringing it all down, Im the same as you and couldn't have left it there. Keep up the great work with brilliant messaging 👌👌
I agree its so annoying those who leave their rubbish its a disgrace… your a top man
Well done Sir 👍
That plateau around High Raise sure does catch the wind. Two or three years back I was up there in summer with a forecast of 40 mph gusts and scattered showers. Instead, I found myself in the middle of the moor with 65-70mph winds and horizontal sleet. At times I was having to kneel and brace on my poles to avoid being blown off my feet. The descent via Sergeant Man was a maelstrom and I'd have had to crawl much of the way. Plus I wasn't carrying goggles and couldn't see against the storm. So I dropped down into Easedale for shelter and worked my way back over Blea Rig. A sobering reminder to anyone tempted to take these little hills lightly!
Very lovely 👍
Thank you so much for your video
Yes my favourite TH-camr is back
Love these running videos
Total respect sir…
Spot-on for picking up the rubbish and it’s my massive frustration and doing the same in the Cotswold Water Park 👍🏻
Another great vid, we all have a Favorite mountain, mine’s great Gable, even past it on the wainwright coast to coast I did last yr, bet blue keeps thinking, why are we always heading back…..blue I’m doing a video, some people with leaving there shit about boils my piss, your a good man taking that down, I’ll do the same 🥾⛰⛺️👌and my mum was the same with the vaseline, LNT
😂 Vaseline! Great gable is one of my favourites as it sits proudly in the middle of everything
Awesome job, thank you for doing that Bro.
Nice one Bushman!! ❤
During lockdown I found the remains of some kind of a rave on the slopes to the south of the tarn. There were collapsed supermarket tents, dozens of cans and bottles, miscellaneous trash and a fair bit that was worse. I carried down what I could, but I imagine it took a substantial squad to clean the place up properly. Why a whole gang of kids would choose to desecrate such a lovely place is beyond understanding.
Greatest respect to you for shifting all that stuff man. Many genuine wild campers would simply not have physically been able to manage all that plus their own gear. Guess you were sent there for a purpose! I hope you found your drone as a "reward"!
I think reward comes in feeling good for doing good. 👍👍👍
Great video Alan. Annoys me more than anything lazy people ruining it for other. Hope you find the drone 😢
Eiy up lad! Hind sight is a wonderful thing, eh. Wasn’t sure, but seen a lot of your you tube adv, and iam defo giving you a 10/10 . Great fella. “ it’ll come big yin” Slangi.
😂 it definitely is
You are a legend for bringing all that rubbish down 🚮. Those idiots didn’t deserve to be up there enjoying the beauty and then treat it like that. Thank goodness for good people readdressing the balance 😘xxx
There are many people out there that help out it’s just educating the idiots in the first place. Thanks👍
FairPlay mate.
Running up a mountain - you crazy dude! What amazing views. Thanks for clearing the trash left by the complete a-holes. Can't believe people who do things like that.
Always a little crazy 😬
Great video as always. Great spot by Blue of the fly camp dump - thanks for taking it down. Hope you found the drone.
Fab video as always with your best mate, Blue! Shocking to see people leaving their trash in such a beautiful place as that! Sorry you had to bring it down to the bin, it’s so annoying there are people out there who will do this.
Good on you mate for clearing other peoples' rubbish.
Well done you top MAN
Fantastic vid as always - totally here you about the garbage being left by folks, what goes (or sadly doesn't!) go through peoples heads!?! Thoroughly frustrates me when i see it out mountain biking!! Gutted about your drone, hope you get sorted one way or another soon, that footage you filmed with it kayaking in Scotland was just *epic*. Respect to you for what you do - it's magic!!
Thanks Mark much appreciated. I always enjoy editing the drone parts👌
There they are! Another great video. Always get excited when I see an upload from you. Great content 🏔️
Thanks 😊
