The realisation that you are hiking to your campsite while walking back and fourth moving your camera along the way to share your journey hit me while watching. Your editing skills are truly amazing , I feel like I, too, have been on a journey. And then if the hiking and camp set up is not already a feat in itself you then cook a meal Gordon Ramsey would be amazed by 😂. Thanks for sharing! Watching from South Island, NZ
Thank you! Setting up the camera and walking away from it feels silly but I think it definitely makes for a better video. Hearing that you feel like you have been on the journey with me is great 👍😀. Cooking is always a fun way to unwind at camp. A bit of extra work but it’s great to have a nice fresh meal. Really appreciate you watching and taking the time comment. ATB
I’ve watched a lot of your back catalogue and can honestly say you’re a great all rounder across all the different camping techniques and styles.The added bonus is that you have great culinary skills. Keep these first class videos coming they are really entertaining in every aspect.
Thank you so much for the kind words. I enjoy all styles of camping so I could never limit myself to just one 😀👍. I really appreciate you going back and watching my older videos. It really helps the channel. Thanks again for such a nice comment! All the best
Thanks! This recipe isn’t too difficult though. It definitely helps having all the ingredients organized and packed in one bag. Appreciate the comment!
I very much enjoy your videos and thank you for the extra work you go to to set up your shots. At times I feel as though watching you hiking I am your hiking partner, which is truly fun to be out there with a buddy. Also, thank you for introducing me to cooking, which I am definitely not that it's just Seiyu cook however, through your efforts, I might get to be one. Cheers, Peter.
Glad you are enjoying the videos Peter. It’s great to hear that you feel like you are on the trip as well. Thats one of the things I hope to accomplish with the video. Cooking can be very fun. I highly recommend giving it a go more often. Thank you for watching and taking the time to comment.
Thanks, that means a lot! The camping is the fun and easy part. The filming/editing has been a learning process but I’ve grown to really enjoy it. Have a great weekend and thanks again!
Thanks! I completely agree. I love that feeling when you finally hunker down for the night in the tent. Very cosy. Appreciate you watching and taking the time to comment. ATB
New to the channel, and I'm watching through all the videos. This channel should be MUCH bigger. Great quality footage, beautiful spots and great narration.
Thank you and welcome to the channel. Really happy to hear you’re liking the videos. Really appreciate the support 🙏😀. Hope you enjoy the rest of your week.
You are a class act! So gracious and so kind to respond to everyone's comment. You should get commisdion off the amount of product I have purchased based on your videos.😊
It's funny how watching these videos just winds me up....I want to be back out on a Wintery hill......NOW 😂. Great film. Love the quiet scenes. Just takes me out there . I did one in almost those exact conditions near the Old man. Stunning nights
Yeah I feel the same way. I don’t want to rush autumn as I really enjoy it as well, but I’m ready for some snow camps already. Something so peaceful about it! Appreciate the comment! ATB
I am very moved by your videos. Never seen the mountains. Never seen a place without trees. It sounded like you said ' one final wish ' towards the end as you overlooked the beautiful morning sky, the color and the view of everything was amazing. I loved your stoves and your cooking skills are wonderful. That tent is ultra cool. And I don't think Ive ever seen a better view in my life.
Winter camping in the snow is one of my all time favorite times to camp. Aside from being beautiful, the silence you get when everything is covered in snow is something special. Although this tent is a bit heavy it’s a really nice home away from home that can handle weather better than most. Really glad you enjoyed the video. Thank you for taking the time to comment! All the best 😀
Another awesome video. That chicken stroganoff looked delicious. I had the same thought of keeping that pasta water for the hot bottle for the sleeping bag. Don't know if you put salt in that pasta water. But, that would keep it from eventually freezing easily. You do it all right every time.😊
Thanks! I really appreciate you continuing to watch the older videos. This meal is pretty simple and very tasty. I’m going to need to make this for dinner for the family soon.
Absolutely stunning, you have fast become my favourite youtube channel to watch, I hope you keep it going! The way you craft and present the videos really comes across so well, very relatable
That really means a lot! This is definitely not a job for me and I have young kids so I can only get out for a camp once or twice a month if I’m lucky. But I absolutely plan to keep documenting my trips to share here on TH-cam! I’ve really grown to like the editing process. And it’s nice to be able to look back at my trips as well when the memories of them begin to fade 👍. Thanks again for the kind words! ATB
Thanks! The hikes and potentially getting to see the sunset/sunrise is the highlight for me. Really appreciate you watching and taking the time to comment! Have a great weekend!
A new subscriber to your channel, your various skills are spot on especially your culinary contributions, the food looked great and I will certainly enjoy venturing into some of your past videos, thank you for sharing this adventure.
Welcome to the channel! I do enjoy making myself a nice meal for these single night trips 👍. Thanks for taking a look at some of my other videos. Really appreciate the support. ATB
Thank you for watching another video! Camping is my personal reset button. No matter what’s going on in life, going out and camping in a place like this forces you to be 100% present in the moment! It’s a great experience 👍
One think I liked about my nammatj compared to my Nallo was that if you pitch the rear into the wind, the rear of the roof does not flatten with wind reducing living space like it does with the nallo. With the nammatj though , my head was always touching the inner, not so though with the nallo near the entrance. The nammatj is the best tunnel imho.
Both fantastic tents 👍. I agree and I do absolutely love the Nammatj. I’ve just personally never been a big fan of the door placement of the Nallo. I like that the door of the Nammatj opens on the side of the vestibule. Having two large vents is great as well. Really appreciate you watching and taking the time to comment! ATB
It’s not me 😅, the British isles are the bad weather magnet 👍. I at least have plenty of camps on the channel with decent weather to show that I’m not that unlucky. Really appreciate the comment. Hope you enjoy the rest your week. ATB
I am new to this channel and catching up older videos. Most others I have been watching are way below your standard. I am a big trangia fan but those x-boil units are on my list now.
The trangia stove is my all time favorite but the Xboil stove is also fantastic. Especially when lighting it in cold weather. It’s extremely easy. My only complaint is that you can’t store the fuel in the stove and it doesn’t have a simmer ring like the trangia. Really appreciate you watching my older videos! Hope you’re having a nice weekend!
Ohh boy the guy can cook too in a tent on top of a mountain in windchill -17. Really cook Old Owl 🦉 Alaya, who often wonders why the packet food has to come out and bet you have enough ingredients for tomorrow too ! Bravo !
Nice! It’s a fantastic tent. I do have an extra set but I have yet to use them. I’ve been pretty happy how it handles wind with just the single set of poles. But if I ever see truly terrible weather is in the forecast I will def double pole 👍. Thanks for watching! ATB
Great video. Beautiful raw nature scenery. Might be worth mentioning that only the US uses the old Fahrenheit temperature system and the rest of the world use Centigrade. So to understand what you mean by “cold”, 12 degrees needs converting to -11 Degrees Centigrade (eleven degrees below freezing point) for the rest of the world to understand you. We watch your videos all around the world mate and need to know these things :-)
Thanks! When I am talking about the temperature starting at 13:18 I was referring to the temperature in Celsius 😀👍 not Fahrenheit. Just because I’m speaking with an American accent doesn’t mean I’m saying the temp in Fahrenheit 😜. Really appreciate you watching and taking the time to comment. All the best.
Another great video. And I have to say I am amused by your culinary skills and the effort it takes to make these complex meals while backpacking. I would have difficulty making that meal in my own kitchen at home … when I go backpacking, I just bring ramen noodles or freeze dried meals. So again I have to applaud your culinary endeavors.
Thanks! It makes way more sense to bring freeze dried meals backpacking. But since I have the time and I really enjoy cooking I find it fun to make meals with my camping equipment that I’d usually cook at home. I’ve gotten the packing for each meal down so it’s pretty easy to bring the ingredients 👍. Thanks again for another thoughtful comment!
Hello mi friend, sorry I'm late with seeing this one. Great to hear the wind all the way through the video lol. Nice one mate 👍🔥🇬🇧. Thanks for sharing. Atb Andy
It’s the fourth quarter. Thirty seconds to go. My wife is yelling at the TV. She’s excitedly contributing a combination of advice, exasperation, enthusiasm, and encouragement. We’re watching “goin.solo” as he cooks in his tent on youtube. She’s yelling “add more cheese……, don’t stir too much, foil on now, …. more cheese…., more cheese …. Thank goodness! Phew, he did it…. Yay!” A remote, highly addictive, participatory spectator sport - watching cooking in a snow camp.
😆👍🙏 glad you both are enjoying the videos! I haven’t made that meal in quite some time for the family. Think I need to make it this week. Really appreciate the comment 😀
Great vid but a few observations. Need a cozy on the nalgene as temp will freeze the water, and trekking poles would aid safety by ensuring you dont take a step into a sinkhole! Otherwise great location 👍🏻
Thanks. I agree trekking poles are definitely a must in the snow! When I’m not pointing the camera I actually have my tripod in hand and use it as a trekking pole. It’s carbon fiber and pretty beefy. I use it quite frequently to test stream crossings and test for frozen boggy spots. Works well but I never really get to show that. Thanks again for watching and taking the time to comment! Have a great weekend!
I'm currently catching up on your videos and apart from the amazing locations your culinary skills are inspirational and prove that anything can be cooked on camp. Thank you
Thank you. I really enjoy the challenge of trying to make the same meals I would normally cook at home. Really appreciate you taking the time to look back at my older videos!
Thanks Paul! 👍 I’m really liking the new tent. Yeah gonna be sad when it’s all gone. Not sure if it will happen but I have my fingers crossed for one more camp in the snow. Enjoy your hike!
Truly wonderful, you have a real affinity for making great videos, along with the added bonus of a regular cooking masterclass. Fabulous drone footage and editing, a real pleasure to view. 👌👍👊
Thanks Michael! Glad you liked the drone footage. I actually packed up the drone today to send it in for repairs (the gimbals basically busted). I was happy I was able to a least get some footage. So nice to see these mountains covered in snow! Appreciate you taking the time to comment. Have a great weekend!
Hello my dear friend, thank you so much for creating and sharing this video. This is truly what I need after a long and out-of-place day at work. I feel like I get transported to a whole new world and get to experience something that I have not felt in a while. So thank you again, and please keep creating these videos as they help, and they are fun to watch :) Take care.
Thank you so much for watching and for the comment! I also find watching outdoor videos after a long day really therapeutic. Especially when I may not have the time to get out myself. Thanks again for watching and hope the rest of your week is better! ATB
Thanks! It’s always great to get a snow camp in. Especially when you can get a nice view. Tunnel tents are great! Size/Weight to strength ratio in strong winds is unbeatable 👍. Appreciate you watching another video.
@@GoingSoloOutdoors Thats true. And the best of all. After a long hike outdoors and especially in the cold such a very nice and warm dinner taste so much better and heat you up 😊👍
Thanks! Good tip. Oddly enough the metal pegs were fine to get out. It was the plastic delta pegs that had really become anchored. They are great pegs but they don’t have a pull cord so if you can’t get a good purchase around them it can be really tough to pull them out. Would have been nice to have a small stone though to break up the ice around them! Thanks for watching! ATB
Great video , Ivan happy with my nammatj to and just bought from Bergans aconw Person tent for light traveling… love to see more videos with the nammatj :)
Thanks! The Nammatj is great 👍. Definitely a bit heavier than my other tents but it provides such a nice amount of space in winter or when the weather isn’t the best. You will definitely see it in more videos. Appreciate you taking the time to comment!
Snow is the best water ! If you can find some fresh , and have enough heat I’m always worried about dead deers up stream. When taking water from the streams, so I always used snow that was freshly laid. Old Owl 🦉
Yeah, it would’ve been much more convenient to just use the snow but my filters really good and I didn’t have enough fuel to melt it and still have my morning coffee 😀☕️
Thanks! I actually use my carbon fiber tripod (it’s pretty beefy) as a trekking pole and it definitely helped me on this hike identify hidden streams! Because it’s also my tripod, you’re not really getting to see it in the hiking portions of the video. Really appreciate you watching and taking the time to comment! ATB
Incredibly beautiful winter adventure. Great filming and a fresh setup. The food looks delicious though. I need to get that pan for my next adventure ;)
Thanks Mario! I highly highly recommend the jetboil summit skillet! It’s a great size and easy to cleanup after you cook. Appreciate the comment. Have a good weekend!
I was up in the lakes for some incredible snow fall last weekend. I had packed for a snow camp but didn't quite trust myself at the last moment - I'd not solo camped in snow before and was put off by the length of the night... also had a 3 season tent (Lanshan 2) so I think not staying up on my own was probably the right call. Watched this to see if you'd clear the snow from the tent footprint but ended up getting sucked in to your amazing video. Definitely inspired and hoping to get that first snow camp in soon (just a little more confident next tine!) Thanks for the video.
Thanks for watching Rob! Camping in the snow is probably my favorite way to camp but it does require a bit of extra kit to be more comfortable. I’ve used a 3 season tent in the past in the snow and I must admit, if it’s windy it can get quite cold. Just need to make sure your sleep system is dialed in for the temps. You should absolutely give it a try though. Really appreciate you taking the time to comment and watching a bit more of the video! All the best!
Man, I need a nammatj. About the only Hilleberg I haven’t tried. Great video. I wish I had the patients to record some of my outings. It’s a lot of work so hats off to your efforts.
Thanks! The extra space of the Nammatj is really nice. It is a lot of work filming but I really enjoy the editing process. It’s also nice to have something to look back on for each trip. Appreciate the comment. ATB
amazing stuff! great production skills, camping and cooking skills thanks for taking us with you! might sugest you do equipement videos too, Id love to know more about that tent
Thanks! I haven’t really done any equipment videos yet because I worry people might think I’m trying to promote or sell them something. Which is definitely not the goal of this channel. I haven’t completely ruled out one day doing videos on gear but for right now I’m just doing trip videos and cooking shorts. However, I’m always happy to give recommendations or answer any questions about any of my gear! Really appreciate the comment. ATB
@@davidunderwood9863 yeah it was definitely a bit cold. The windchill was brutal but it felt comfortable inside the tent! At least you don’t have to worry about condensation dripping on you 😂
Who doesn’t love a snow camp, really enjoyed this one, thanks for taking us along..👍🏻 I also got my first ever snow camp in last night, in my very own Derbyshire Peaks, was only probably 1.5” of snow on the ground where I pitched, but that’s good enough for me! I had gusty 40mph winds for around 3hrs, with a mere -10 windchill. 🥶 Still such an enjoyable experience though. 😊 ❄️⛺️☃️
Winter camping is the best, especially if you get some snow! Sounds like a good time, I’d be happy with 1.5” of snow. I just wish we’d get snow more often. Thanks for watching and taking the time to comment Scoot. Have a great weekend!
So very well done. Another hill and climbing challenge so tastefully communicated for others to share in. Winter hills hike and camp - one of the Earth's great rewards. As super luxureous the Nammatji I think I would get all afraid about heating such a large space with body heat, but the freedom to truely move around in a tent as you say .... And thank you for ending with your LNT messaging - makes me feel good every time a channel does. Respects.
I agree with the size of the Nammatj. The space is a real luxury but it makes much more sense for your body heat to warm a one man tent in the winter instead of a two man tent! I was plenty warm before bed but definitely a trade off when you’re in a small space for so many hours. With seeing people leave litter in the Peak District and all the drama in Dartmoor it’s more important than ever to promote LNT. Us wild campers want to hike up to a pristine spot more than anyone! We need to protect these places for everyone to enjoy! Thanks for watching and taking the time to comment! All the best
Echoing the comments made about your video. Nice work. I’d really like to know the chopping board that fits so well into that Jetboil pan. Been looking for something just like that.
Thanks man! I was using the Fjallraven Keb 72. It has an absolutely fantastic carry system. They also make a 52L version which I think is probably the perfect size.
Thanks! Camping in the snow is my absolute favorite. I’m hoping I can make it here a few more times this year when the mountains are covered in snow ❄️🤞
In the Borrowdale area. I have found the winters in the UK to be quite mild in general. Especially when compared to the winters I had back when we lived in the states.
@GoingSoloOutdoors thanks My friend who has the Hilleberg is from Colorado so gets some chill there 😆 you did well to find snow ❄️ good luck this coming winter
Thanks man! I was pretty pleased with the meal! Fun to cook with two burners for once. Felt a bit more like cooking at home … haha kinda 😜. Have a great weekend!
Great video mate, I enjoy the quiet and the focus on your sfx. In my own videos I tend to rely more on background music and speech but this is proof tha sfx can take you a long way. Subbed👏🏼
Thanks for watching! Sometime I will use music if there are no interesting sounds going on or if it’s just too windy. I didn’t want to add any music on this one during the hike because I just really love the silence when there is snow on the ground! Especially the sound of snow under your boot. So peaceful. Really appreciate the support! ATB
Thanks Graham! The mountains look great covered in a nice blanket of snow. Nice way to break in the new tent! Glad you liked the meal. It was a yummy one 😀👍. Appreciate you taking the time to comment! Cheers
@@grahamscothern4319 it’s a good light system. My only complaint is that you need to use something under the stove if you are going to cook in the tent. For instance I used a small soldering mat on this camp. Recently I did start using it with my trangia kit and the regular size stove fits perfectly which is cool!
Curious why you would use that alcohol stove with foil instead of one of the trangia traingle stoves with the spirit burner that has the lid to control the flame. You certainly have a lot of stoves to choose from... and a lot of Hilleberg tents...lol
This stove is extremely easy to light in cold temperatures and I was able to carry two of them at the same weight of one trangia. I was just trying a different setup with two stoves going at once to help cook things a bit faster. It worked ok. The trangia does have much better temperature control while cooking though 👍. I do have many tents. It’s a weakness 😅. I LOVE tents!
Awesome video, and lovely recipe! What is your preferred tent, Nammatj 2 or Allak 2? I've narrowed my decision down to these as I already have the Soulo RL and Anjan 2, but I'm after a more roomier tent for winter camps.
The Allak 2 is fantastic and very roomy. However, if it is just for solo camps I would choose the Nammatj 2. It’s lighter, very easy to pitch and it can handle some crazy weather. Although, if you think you are going to be using it to camp with two people I would go with the Allak 2
For the most part if you are cooking at the right temperature it doesn’t spatter too much. Typically never enough to get on the tent fly. Occasionally I may get a bit just on the tent footprint. And that will just get wiped after cooking and further cleaned when I get home.
Thanks for watching another video! Unfortunately no, I’m absolutely terrible and following recipes as I don’t like to measure anything. But for the sauce I usually use shallots or onions, mushrooms, cream cheese and chicken stock, with salt and pepper to taste. At the end top with parmesan cheese and parsley. You can put it on pasta or add any protein you want! It’s very tasty! Hope that helps.
Amazing how you managed to travel with so much gear! drone, camera and tripod, proper food, 4 season tent and all that warm weather gear! This is my dream but i thought i would be limited to a 1 person tent in these conditions as i am putting my gear list together for winter. Can i ask what your total pack weight was for this trip and how far you would be prepared to hike with it?
I don’t remember the exact pack weight but I believe it was around 31lbs which is the top weight I would carry. I never break the 20% rule and that’s including food and camera gear. However, I do remember this feeling surprisingly more comfortable than normal. This pack has an incredible suspension system so it made it feel lighter than it actually was. On this trip I hiked a total of six miles. For a heavier load out like this I would keep it to an overnight trip. I’d probably limit it to a round trip distance of 15miles. Anything more than that I would start changing out gear. Hope that helps! Thanks for watching and taking the time to comment!
Really appreciate you watching! I will occasionally talk about my gear casually in my TH-cam videos or on Instagram but I have not done any formal gear review videos yet. I’m always happy to answer any questions about my gear though 👍

Nice! It’s a fantastic tent. I do have an extra set but I have yet to use them. I’ve been pretty happy how it handles wind with just the single set of poles. But if I ever see truly terrible weather is in the forecast I will def double pole 👍. Thanks for watching! ATB
Loved this The photo of you outside with the stars is amazing one for a frame
Thanks! It was very cold out but worth it to see such an incredible night sky.
Great video. Beautiful raw nature scenery. Might be worth mentioning that only the US uses the old Fahrenheit temperature system and the rest of the world use Centigrade. So to understand what you mean by “cold”, 12 degrees needs converting to -11 Degrees Centigrade (eleven degrees below freezing point) for the rest of the world to understand you. We watch your videos all around the world mate and need to know these things :-)
Thanks! When I am talking about the temperature starting at 13:18 I was referring to the temperature in Celsius 😀👍 not Fahrenheit. Just because I’m speaking with an American accent doesn’t mean I’m saying the temp in Fahrenheit 😜. Really appreciate you watching and taking the time to comment. All the best.
Another great video. And I have to say I am amused by your culinary skills and the effort it takes to make these complex meals while backpacking. I would have difficulty making that meal in my own kitchen at home … when I go backpacking, I just bring ramen noodles or freeze dried meals. So again I have to applaud your culinary endeavors.
Thanks! It makes way more sense to bring freeze dried meals backpacking. But since I have the time and I really enjoy cooking I find it fun to make meals with my camping equipment that I’d usually cook at home. I’ve gotten the packing for each meal down so it’s pretty easy to bring the ingredients 👍. Thanks again for another thoughtful comment!
Hello mi friend, sorry I'm late with seeing this one. Great to hear the wind all the way through the video lol. Nice one mate 👍🔥🇬🇧. Thanks for sharing. Atb Andy
Thanks Andy! Appreciate you watching. Have a great weekend! ATB
Nice to see you back in 2023. Happy new year!
PS, music is perfect!
Thanks Tom! Happy New Year!
It’s the fourth quarter. Thirty seconds to go. My wife is yelling at the TV. She’s excitedly contributing a combination of advice, exasperation, enthusiasm, and encouragement.
We’re watching “goin.solo” as he cooks in his tent on youtube.
She’s yelling “add more cheese……, don’t stir too much, foil on now, …. more cheese…., more cheese …. Thank goodness! Phew, he did it…. Yay!”
A remote, highly addictive, participatory spectator sport - watching cooking in a snow camp.
😆👍🙏 glad you both are enjoying the videos! I haven’t made that meal in quite some time for the family. Think I need to make it this week. Really appreciate the comment 😀
wow, what an excellent meal!
It was tasty! Thanks for watching!
Great vid but a few observations. Need a cozy on the nalgene as temp will freeze the water, and trekking poles would aid safety by ensuring you dont take a step into a sinkhole! Otherwise great location 👍🏻
Thanks. I agree trekking poles are definitely a must in the snow! When I’m not pointing the camera I actually have my tripod in hand and use it as a trekking pole. It’s carbon fiber and pretty beefy. I use it quite frequently to test stream crossings and test for frozen boggy spots. Works well but I never really get to show that. Thanks again for watching and taking the time to comment! Have a great weekend!
Enjoy your cooking in a stormy atmosphere as if you were at home 😅
This weather was pretty tame compared to how it can be here 👍. Appreciate you watching and taking the time to comment. ATB
Amazing shots, love the Nammatj, and it was great seeing some proper cooking in there :) Thanks
Thanks! The Nammatj has been a fantastic tent. I’ve really enjoyed the extra space. Appreciate you watching and taking the time to comment! ATB
Nothing ever seems like a effort, cheers pal 🥩🍺👍
I don’t know. I was pretty winded on the hike trying to get up to the top before sunset 😅. Really appreciate the comment 👍!
I'm currently catching up on your videos and apart from the amazing locations your culinary skills are inspirational and prove that anything can be cooked on camp. Thank you
Thank you. I really enjoy the challenge of trying to make the same meals I would normally cook at home. Really appreciate you taking the time to look back at my older videos!
Excellent especially the cooking tips 👍
Thanks!
What a location with wonderful views, thank you-RAO
I am in the Lake District, in Northern England 👍
What a fabulous adventure camp out , scenery superb
Thanks! I absolutely love camping in the snow. The snow covered mountains are so pretty!
Beautiful video! It was a joy to watch. Now I have to go wintercamping too
Thanks! I was just happy I finally got the snow. I love winter camping but it’s definitely better in the snow! Have a good weekend!
What a fabulous tent. 👌
Really loving it!
Excellent video. I thought that those foam mats should be silver side up to reflect the heat back to you?
Thanks! On the Thermarest pads you are absolutely correct, but with the Nemo Switchback foam pads it’s the reverse. Silver side down 👍. ATB
Your videos are brilliant. Thank you!
Thank you! Really appreciate you taking the time to comment
100% deilight, cool stove from Denmark too. Anyway, much love. Best wishes. Holmen.
Thanks Holmen! The X-boil has been great. Have a good weekend!
Well done your pitch was awesome 👌 love all your kit
Thanks Andy! It is a great spot and the snow just makes it that much better! ATB
Great stuff Buddy, and thanks for bringing the beauty of nature to those of us who cannot get there. Thanks for your hard work.
My pleasure. Thanks for watching and I really appreciate the comment! Hope you have a great weekend. ATB
New tent looks the business 👌another top camp mate,off out myself tomorrow for a hike in snowdonia,catching the snow before it goes again.⛺️⛰️👍
Thanks Paul! 👍 I’m really liking the new tent. Yeah gonna be sad when it’s all gone. Not sure if it will happen but I have my fingers crossed for one more camp in the snow. Enjoy your hike!
Great video as always, beautiful scenery, Food looked fab 👍👍👍👍
Thanks! I was very happy to get a calm night in the snow!
Truly wonderful, you have a real affinity for making great videos, along with the added bonus of a regular cooking masterclass. Fabulous drone footage and editing, a real pleasure to view. 👌👍👊
Thanks Michael! Glad you liked the drone footage. I actually packed up the drone today to send it in for repairs (the gimbals basically busted). I was happy I was able to a least get some footage. So nice to see these mountains covered in snow! Appreciate you taking the time to comment. Have a great weekend!
Hello my dear friend, thank you so much for creating and sharing this video. This is truly what I need after a long and out-of-place day at work. I feel like I get transported to a whole new world and get to experience something that I have not felt in a while. So thank you again, and please keep creating these videos as they help, and they are fun to watch :) Take care.
Thank you so much for watching and for the comment! I also find watching outdoor videos after a long day really therapeutic. Especially when I may not have the time to get out myself. Thanks again for watching and hope the rest of your week is better! ATB
Another cracking adventure. Im looking at a Mont supercell ex tunnel tent. Theyre Australian. Love that pitch 👍👍👍
Thanks! It’s always great to get a snow camp in. Especially when you can get a nice view. Tunnel tents are great! Size/Weight to strength ratio in strong winds is unbeatable 👍. Appreciate you watching another video.
Very nice cooking skills. Your meal looking amazing🤤
Thanks! Nice to have a warm meal on a camp like this 👍. Appreciate you taking the time to comment!
@@GoingSoloOutdoors Thats true. And the best of all. After a long hike outdoors and especially in the cold such a very nice and warm dinner taste so much better and heat you up 😊👍
Wow!!! Top video camera / cutting skills. Tip: If the tent pegs are frozen solid: hit the tent peg with a stone and then pull it out.
Thanks! Good tip. Oddly enough the metal pegs were fine to get out. It was the plastic delta pegs that had really become anchored. They are great pegs but they don’t have a pull cord so if you can’t get a good purchase around them it can be really tough to pull them out. Would have been nice to have a small stone though to break up the ice around them! Thanks for watching! ATB
Love it mate
Thanks man!
to be honest, I love watching ur videos because of that tent, I've grown to love it lol. New subscriber.
😂👍 it’s a very nice tent! Really appreciate the support 😀
Great hike, beautiful sceneries, wonderful edit… thanks for taking us along
Thanks for watching and taking the time to comment! Have a great weekend!
Great video,thank you 👍
Thank you for watching! 😀👍
Great video , Ivan happy with my nammatj to and just bought from Bergans aconw Person tent for light traveling… love to see more videos with the nammatj :)
Thanks! The Nammatj is great 👍. Definitely a bit heavier than my other tents but it provides such a nice amount of space in winter or when the weather isn’t the best. You will definitely see it in more videos. Appreciate you taking the time to comment!
Beautiful winter scenes..Great filming..I really enjoyed the video..Thanks..
Winter is the best! ❄️ Thanks for watching and taking the time to comment!
Snow is the best water ! If you can find some fresh , and have enough heat I’m always worried about dead deers up stream. When taking water from the streams, so I always used snow that was freshly laid. Old Owl 🦉
Yeah, it would’ve been much more convenient to just use the snow but my filters really good and I didn’t have enough fuel to melt it and still have my morning coffee 😀☕️
Ahh yes I didn’t think of that 🤦♀️ and anyway who knows what’s under a fresh layer of white snow near a bothy 😅
Great video, nice tent : but please carry a staff/pole of some sort in rough country, especially where there are possibly hidden streams or holes.
Thanks! I actually use my carbon fiber tripod (it’s pretty beefy) as a trekking pole and it definitely helped me on this hike identify hidden streams! Because it’s also my tripod, you’re not really getting to see it in the hiking portions of the video. Really appreciate you watching and taking the time to comment! ATB
Incredibly beautiful winter adventure. Great filming and a fresh setup. The food looks delicious though. I need to get that pan for my next adventure ;)
Thanks Mario! I highly highly recommend the jetboil summit skillet! It’s a great size and easy to cleanup after you cook. Appreciate the comment. Have a good weekend!
Great video pal really enjoyed it and beautiful scenery 👏🏻👏🏻
ATB... Chris 🙏🏼👍🏻😊
Thanks Chris! Appreciate you watching and taking the time to comment! ATB
@@GoingSoloOutdoors No worries at all my man ✌🏼😎🤜🏻🤛🏻
I was up in the lakes for some incredible snow fall last weekend. I had packed for a snow camp but didn't quite trust myself at the last moment - I'd not solo camped in snow before and was put off by the length of the night... also had a 3 season tent (Lanshan 2) so I think not staying up on my own was probably the right call. Watched this to see if you'd clear the snow from the tent footprint but ended up getting sucked in to your amazing video. Definitely inspired and hoping to get that first snow camp in soon (just a little more confident next tine!)
Thanks for the video.
Thanks for watching Rob! Camping in the snow is probably my favorite way to camp but it does require a bit of extra kit to be more comfortable. I’ve used a 3 season tent in the past in the snow and I must admit, if it’s windy it can get quite cold. Just need to make sure your sleep system is dialed in for the temps. You should absolutely give it a try though. Really appreciate you taking the time to comment and watching a bit more of the video! All the best!
@@GoingSoloOutdoors Thanks man! Look forwards to more videos.
You've made the right call every time you are able to return to the trailhead under your own power.
Warm Regards from Reno, Nevada U.S.A.
Man, I need a nammatj. About the only Hilleberg I haven’t tried. Great video. I wish I had the patients to record some of my outings. It’s a lot of work so hats off to your efforts.
Thanks! The extra space of the Nammatj is really nice. It is a lot of work filming but I really enjoy the editing process. It’s also nice to have something to look back on for each trip. Appreciate the comment. ATB
amazing stuff! great production skills, camping and cooking skills thanks for taking us with you! might sugest you do equipement videos too, Id love to know more about that tent
Thanks! I haven’t really done any equipment videos yet because I worry people might think I’m trying to promote or sell them something. Which is definitely not the goal of this channel. I haven’t completely ruled out one day doing videos on gear but for right now I’m just doing trip videos and cooking shorts. However, I’m always happy to give recommendations or answer any questions about any of my gear! Really appreciate the comment. ATB
Great video there brother. Brave man in those conditions.
Thanks for watching David! It’s always nice to get some time in the snow!
@@GoingSoloOutdoors Yeah love winter camping but your camp looked particularly cold.
@@davidunderwood9863 yeah it was definitely a bit cold. The windchill was brutal but it felt comfortable inside the tent! At least you don’t have to worry about condensation dripping on you 😂
Who doesn’t love a snow camp, really enjoyed this one, thanks for taking us along..👍🏻
I also got my first ever snow camp in last night, in my very own Derbyshire Peaks, was only probably 1.5” of snow on the ground where I pitched, but that’s good enough for me!
I had gusty 40mph winds for around 3hrs, with a mere -10 windchill. 🥶
Still such an enjoyable experience though.
😊 ❄️⛺️☃️
Winter camping is the best, especially if you get some snow! Sounds like a good time, I’d be happy with 1.5” of snow. I just wish we’d get snow more often. Thanks for watching and taking the time to comment Scoot. Have a great weekend!
You make some awesome videos my friend. Happy New Year!
Too kind 😀. Thanks for watching Tom! Happy New Year to you as well!
Truly awesome filming . Up there with the best youtube wildcamping. Thanks for sharing 👍
Too kind! Appreciate you watching and taking the time to comment! ATB
So very well done. Another hill and climbing challenge so tastefully communicated for others to share in. Winter hills hike and camp - one of the Earth's great rewards. As super luxureous the Nammatji I think I would get all afraid about heating such a large space with body heat, but the freedom to truely move around in a tent as you say .... And thank you for ending with your LNT messaging - makes me feel good every time a channel does. Respects.
I agree with the size of the Nammatj. The space is a real luxury but it makes much more sense for your body heat to warm a one man tent in the winter instead of a two man tent! I was plenty warm before bed but definitely a trade off when you’re in a small space for so many hours. With seeing people leave litter in the Peak District and all the drama in Dartmoor it’s more important than ever to promote LNT. Us wild campers want to hike up to a pristine spot more than anyone! We need to protect these places for everyone to enjoy! Thanks for watching and taking the time to comment! All the best
Echoing the comments made about your video. Nice work. I’d really like to know the chopping board that fits so well into that Jetboil pan. Been looking for something just like that.
Thanks! The chopping board came from the Stanley fry pan set. Fits perfectly in the Jetboil skillet 👍
Quality as always mate.What size and make is your rucksack please.Stay safe🏴
Thanks man! I was using the Fjallraven Keb 72. It has an absolutely fantastic carry system. They also make a 52L version which I think is probably the perfect size.
Thank you 🏴
That is a beautiful camp and nice vid thanks for sharing
Thanks! Camping in the snow is my absolute favorite. I’m hoping I can make it here a few more times this year when the mountains are covered in snow ❄️🤞
@GoingSoloOutdoors where are generally not specifically
Yeah want to try some colder camps myself tbh it's mild down south
In the Borrowdale area. I have found the winters in the UK to be quite mild in general. Especially when compared to the winters I had back when we lived in the states.
@GoingSoloOutdoors thanks
My friend who has the Hilleberg is from Colorado so gets some chill there 😆 you did well to find snow ❄️ good luck this coming winter
@@TonyHobbs Thanks man!
Great adventure mate and awesomely put together video as always. That dinner looked delicious. 👌
Thanks man! I was pretty pleased with the meal! Fun to cook with two burners for once. Felt a bit more like cooking at home … haha kinda 😜. Have a great weekend!
@@GoingSoloOutdoors Thanks mate. You too.
Great video mate, I enjoy the quiet and the focus on your sfx. In my own videos I tend to rely more on background music and speech but this is proof tha sfx can take you a long way. Subbed👏🏼
Thanks for watching! Sometime I will use music if there are no interesting sounds going on or if it’s just too windy. I didn’t want to add any music on this one during the hike because I just really love the silence when there is snow on the ground! Especially the sound of snow under your boot. So peaceful. Really appreciate the support! ATB
Fantastic vid.
Stunning views great food and an awesome tent !
Loved it.
You should write a camping cook book !👍
Cheers Graham
Thanks Graham! The mountains look great covered in a nice blanket of snow. Nice way to break in the new tent! Glad you liked the meal. It was a yummy one 😀👍. Appreciate you taking the time to comment! Cheers
@@GoingSoloOutdoors
I will defiantly try cooking that.
I keep think of buying that xboil cook system.
@@grahamscothern4319 it’s a good light system. My only complaint is that you need to use something under the stove if you are going to cook in the tent. For instance I used a small soldering mat on this camp. Recently I did start using it with my trangia kit and the regular size stove fits perfectly which is cool!
@@GoingSoloOutdoors
Cheers 👍
Really enjoyed and subscribed look forward to catching up on your content ATB Craig
Thanks Craig! Really appreciate the support!
Hello, I've watched your video. I really like it. I'm in Thailand. and i have followed you already
Hello! Thanks for watching and taking the time to comment. I appreciate the support!
Really beautiful
👍😀. A winter wonderland! Thanks for watching!
Nice tent. I want one
👍 It as nice luxury in the winter! Thanks for watching!
Stunning views!
It’s a beautiful place! Nice to see it covered in snow 👍❄️
Curious why you would use that alcohol stove with foil instead of one of the trangia traingle stoves with the spirit burner that has the lid to control the flame. You certainly have a lot of stoves to choose from... and a lot of Hilleberg tents...lol
This stove is extremely easy to light in cold temperatures and I was able to carry two of them at the same weight of one trangia. I was just trying a different setup with two stoves going at once to help cook things a bit faster. It worked ok. The trangia does have much better temperature control while cooking though 👍. I do have many tents. It’s a weakness 😅. I LOVE tents!
Awesome video, and lovely recipe! What is your preferred tent, Nammatj 2 or Allak 2? I've narrowed my decision down to these as I already have the Soulo RL and Anjan 2, but I'm after a more roomier tent for winter camps.
The Allak 2 is fantastic and very roomy. However, if it is just for solo camps I would choose the Nammatj 2. It’s lighter, very easy to pitch and it can handle some crazy weather. Although, if you think you are going to be using it to camp with two people I would go with the Allak 2
Thank you
Really enjoyed
The effort you put in is over and beyond 👍
ATB Tony
Thanks! Appreciate you taking the time to comment! ATB
Excellent videos. By far one of my favorite channels! What gloves are those? They look very warm but also thin enough to have some dexterity.
Thanks you so much! I am using the Hestra Falt Guide Gloves. They’ve been absolutely fantastic winter gloves 👍
Hey mate, fabulous trip and cooking. How do you keep any spatter off the tent? 🤔
For the most part if you are cooking at the right temperature it doesn’t spatter too much. Typically never enough to get on the tent fly. Occasionally I may get a bit just on the tent footprint. And that will just get wiped after cooking and further cleaned when I get home.
Great cooking skills
Thanks! Always nice to eat well on these camps 👍
Nice and beautiful 👍
The Lake District is a beautiful place! Especially with some snow. Thanks for watching and taking the time to comment!
Another great video. Thanks. Do you have an ingredients list anywhere for chick/mushroom meal?
Thanks for watching another video! Unfortunately no, I’m absolutely terrible and following recipes as I don’t like to measure anything. But for the sauce I usually use shallots or onions, mushrooms, cream cheese and chicken stock, with salt and pepper to taste. At the end top with parmesan cheese and parsley. You can put it on pasta or add any protein you want! It’s very tasty! Hope that helps.
Winner!
Thanks Ty! Have a great weekend!
@@GoingSoloOutdoors thanks!! Those hilleberg tents look bomb proff.
@@tywilliams6530 This one in particular! They are incredibly well made tents. Absolutely love them!
Amazing how you managed to travel with so much gear! drone, camera and tripod, proper food, 4 season tent and all that warm weather gear! This is my dream but i thought i would be limited to a 1 person tent in these conditions as i am putting my gear list together for winter. Can i ask what your total pack weight was for this trip and how far you would be prepared to hike with it?
I don’t remember the exact pack weight but I believe it was around 31lbs which is the top weight I would carry. I never break the 20% rule and that’s including food and camera gear. However, I do remember this feeling surprisingly more comfortable than normal. This pack has an incredible suspension system so it made it feel lighter than it actually was. On this trip I hiked a total of six miles. For a heavier load out like this I would keep it to an overnight trip. I’d probably limit it to a round trip distance of 15miles. Anything more than that I would start changing out gear. Hope that helps! Thanks for watching and taking the time to comment!
Really enjoyed watching your adventures . Do you do any reviews on the camping gear you use ?
Really appreciate you watching! I will occasionally talk about my gear casually in my TH-cam videos or on Instagram but I have not done any formal gear review videos yet. I’m always happy to answer any questions about my gear though 👍
