Team blue forever!
Team Blue indeed 💙 🐕
we’re going 2 try again on thursday love yr walks merry christmas 2 you and lovely blue ❤️
I like the bit at 22:10 where Blue realises that the ice is cleaner to use than the water underneath.
😂 he loves chewing ice
that‘s what i thought too 😂 wise dog!
I thought that too... why didn't you use the ice itself Al?
Yeap came here to comment that too - just collect the ice
This is the 401 comment on this video.
I hope you learned your lesson after this experience. Bring extra water with you so you don't have to rely on the quality of the water on the mountain. Another option is bringing a very good water filtration system. I also suspect melting white powder snow, wherever it is available, may also result in very clean water.
I love bushman and blue videos, I'm in the UK myself and really like wild camping and especially really cold snow camping. Blue is the best dog in the world he is a credit to you and a true companion
Thanks mate. Blue definitely is an awesome dog and my best friend. Great to have that companion for adventures 👊
Blue needs a NZ Swanndri, famous wet weather farm gear that they also do in a dog coat, check them out online. Thanks for the awesome videos, I am crippled so will never again hike and camp, but it's lovely watching you do it, and appreciating the fact you can, and loving the world around you.I often can't sleep,so I go hiking with you instead!
Well I’m glad I can still take you out on some great adventures. Keep coming along. Thanks Dianne 👍
Damn that view puts mankind in perspective to the earth. Overwhelming views.
One tip I was taught in the Army was in winter when carrying water, store the bottle upside down, as water freezes top down, when you turn the bottle the right way, the unfrozen water will flow to the top.
👌 thanks mate great tip👍
Another great video. Beautiful photography and drone footage. Even the beats chord changes are edited to scene changes.. .. thank you Al and Blue for sharing your wondrous adventures together climbing mountains and taking us with you.
Thanks Tracy I’m always trying to make the best videos I can 😊
@@BUSHMANandBLUE it really shows Al. You make beautiful short films 🎥 very professional and highly entertaining. Thank you.
5:56 the exact reason why I love to go back, nothing beats that feeling of Joy/relief/excitement. Thanks for opening my eyes up with your adverse weather adventures. Inspiring stuff.
Thanks buddy 👊👊👊
To you and blue, thank you for this year’s videos, as always absolutely amazing with the added pushing for people to get outdoors and the mental health benefits. To you and the family, wishing you a lovely Christmas, and can’t wait for what’s to come in the new year. 🎄🎊🥂🥳 👊🏻
I’m just glad some people benefit from my videos and it inspires me to carry on😬. Thanks Sharon 👍
Merry Christmas, Blue and the Mut, and all who see this.. We are all special with no judgement 🙏❤️
Thank you both for the amazing video's, i do alot of hiking and walking and hopefully one day bump into you both and maybe get a quick pic with you both, keep putting the camps on because i look forward to every single one, your an inspiration to us all, thanks....mark.
Thanks Mark much appreciated. I best stick at it for another year of adventures👍👍👍
@@BUSHMANandBLUE yes definately lol
Hey, brilliant video as always! So lovely to see Blue again too 😊
Massive kudos for braving the algae water. Great tip too about how to know its properly boiled. Wishing you and your family a very merry Christmas 🌲 and a happy and healthy 2023 🥂. Looking forward to all the adventures you take us along on next year 😁👍🏕 🙌
Thanks for all your comments too over the year😊. Enjoy your Christmas 👍
Blue: "Mmm, ice, yum! Nom nom nom."
Simon Young Thanks for your good wishes and many greetings from Norm and I. Wishing you all the best and happy camping for 2023
My lad gives me many a scare while watching his vids but as everyone knows he just loves it. Blue is such good company to me also 😊 Happy Christmas and love
MaggieB x
I always come and sit with you after my adventures so you know I’m safe😬. Thanks mum🥰
Happy Christmas Maggie and family from the Allen Valleys ❤️❤️
Man on top of mountain with dog and beer 🍺 👌
I want the same life as you do: simple cabin, woods, dogs, walking. I hope you get what you wish for!
It would be a dream😬😬😬
Awesome camp/video as always 😊
Wow! Just wow! ❤ The views and clarity you could see for miles was spectacular, but must admit I was shivering sat watching it on the sofa 🥶😂
I prefer the cold to wet though👍👍👍
You really should be a motivational speaker or something Al, it’s impossible not to feel happy when you are so upbeat 😀 Another awesome camp with the beautiful Blue 🙌
😊 thanks 😬. Maybe one day
Another blast of an adventure Al and Blue, I now look forward to getting home and getting your channel on to cheer me up after a stressful day at work longing for the brighter days. From a quote from my favourite film Withnail & i, "Get out of it for a while. Get into the countryside. Rejuvenate." is exactly what you do and what we all should be doing. If a couple of out of work drunken actors can do it then so can I 😉Love blue, he is always ready for anything, do you want to go on a hike...YES, do you want to play fetch....YES, do you want to chew ice...YES. Keep up the waffle you speak from the heart. Cin cin
Brilliant Dave thank you. I hope to give people that outdoor feeling and some inspiration to do the same👍👍👍
Another fantastic video guys loved it keep up the great work n cant wait for your next adventure 💪🧡🧡💪
Such a joyful channel! Happy, happy Christmas to you, Blue and your family! ❤️😘🎄🎅🏻🎄😘❤️
Al and blue for priminister 😃😂🤣😂😃the absolute dog's bollocks u 2 big up 2 bushman and blue 👍
😂👊
Amazing it is! Thank you!
That is what you call getting up in the world. Beautiful! Wishing you and Blue a very happy holidays.
Thanks buddy 👍
Brilliant all the best to you both great 👍🏻
Great video as usual. I hope you, Blue and everyone you care about have a wonderful Christmas and a great 2023.
Merry Christmas 🎄🎁🐕⛺️❤️
Merry Christmas and a happy new year!
I've done the same on the top of Kinder Scout, first ever trip up there, and didn't know they'd dammed the 'streams' every 20m. Luckily had a Sawyer to filter it, but had to run it through a double-folded sock TWICE to try and get as much of the silt out of it as possible. Lesson learned to always save 1L in my water bladder for emergencies if I'm not familiar with the area.
Thanks for the inspiration. I'm off out again 🤣
A sock filter would definitely help 👌
This was a great video! Except for the gnarly water lol.
Awesome drone footage, and the views are incredible!
Blue is so sweet and very well trained. Good boy Blue 🐾🦴🐾
On to the next one.
We have been binge watching your videos most of the day. :)
😂😂😂 keep watching mate👊
@@BUSHMANandBLUE 😂😂
Merry Christmas to you and Blue ❤ 🎄 🎅🏻
Cheers mate for all the great vids this year blue looks a very happy chappy and great company to be with .
Merry Christmas to you and Blue!
Merry Christmas and lots of adventures in the New Year!!
Thanks Linda and to you😊
You better to just Melt the Ice. Love your Video. From Québec Canada.
Another great video it was amazing thank you .
Have a peaceful Christmas and a great new yr .
❤♥️
And you 👍
Mmm pond water,tasty! Another great trip for you two and for us,ta❤️ PS nice to see Blue getting indoor accommodation in the wintry conditions.
Never stop "waffling on". I so enjoy your words of wisdom and inspiration! You are so right about the memories of getting out of the house. In 50 years of wild Canadian trips I remember all of them.
You definitely get it then 😉😬😬😬
Great footage again and yes your right cutting out the crap but not the cup of tea!! ❤
😂👍
Awesome video!!
Happy new year you Gorgeous man ❤ love you Blue 💙💙💙
Great edit of another fantastic adventure! Water looked pure dodge though! 😎
Doesn't get any better, i feel like im there, great vid 👍
Awesome gear setup
Excellent Video
Another great winter adventure in the Lakes. Happy Christmas to you, Blue and all your family and congrats on the TGO commendation 🏅
Thanks Kev. I was very happy with that😊. Enjoy your Christmas 😬
Great video again with good 'waffle' and relevant. Thanks for all the vids of past year, have the best Christmas you can and an even better New Year. 😊
Thanks Steve as always😬👊
Just at the bit where you are trying to get water and the wife is screaming at the telly to melt the ice! Haha the ice looked clear of mud haha
😂😂😂 tell her to try melt ice quickly at -5 with a tiny gas stove. It’s slow😂
@@BUSHMANandBLUE yeah sod that for a laugh! I would be finding out curry rehydrated with beer at that point 🤣
Glad you had a way to boil the water and enjoy a nice meal and some beers. I am with you, I enjoy to have a beer after pitching camp or after a race. A nice reward. Also, I like to talk to myself on a nice hike or run or camp. I don't have a dog or camera with me😁. It is good to wax poetic during the adventures, being at home is not as inspiring and/or I don't need the encouragement like I do when I am working hard and enjoying life. Thanks so much to you and Blue and Nicola (I love her channel too!) for enriching my life by sharing your lives with us!
😂 it’s fine talking to yourself mate. You are definitely sane 😂. I’m glad Nicola and I are providing you some entertainment 👊👊👊
Wishing you, Blue and family a HAPPY CHRISTMAS 🎄 and a HAPPY, HEALTHY and PEACEFUL new year 🍾 🥂 🎉
Thanks and to you🥰
One of the best yet …. Scenery with that clear sky absolutely beautiful…….. brave brave man to drink that water …. Keep them coming …. And a very merry Christmas and happy new year and some more adventures …🍺🍺
Cheers Phil. Not the best water but better than not eating 😉
Great vid mate .
Wow Gorgeous views! Thanks so much for sharing your hikes with us. I have really enjoyed your videos!
Cheers Tom. There are some lovely places in the Lake District that are mind blowing👌
Great work as always, love the views of the fabulous lakes. I think Blue is the happiest dog ever when he’s out on a hike and camp with you 👍👍👍👏👏👏
Thanks. He definitely loves being out 😬
Another great camping video. I just love these mountain camps. I save them until I have time to relax and take it all in. Thank you for showing us all these places..Hope you have a good Christmas and look forward to New year. Have a good break of the holidays..🏕
Thank you 😊
Lovely video as always. That weather!!!! Amazing. Thanks for providing us with your lovely storytelling this year, Al. Showing Cumbria at its best. Here’s to a very happy and healthy 2023to you both 🎉🎉.
Thanks 😊. Looking for to another year of making videos 👍
Top work again Al. Always a great watch with a brew :)
Wishing you and the family a merry Christmas and a happy new year 🎄
Adge

Epic trip

Nice to see you both out before Christmas great scenery and epic footage love watching your adventures it feels like I’m there with you both mate. Hope you have a great Christmas and a bangin New Years,try not to get too drunk. See you both in the New Year john from Sheffield England
Cheers John and to you👊
great video again, that dog is the best
He is pretty awesome 😉😬
Glad to see blue back, think all the ice and snow walking could be causing the limp, it does with my beagle, couldn't take him out most of last week!!!!
Absolutely stunning ❤ thanks for bringing us along 👍🥰 you and Blue are inspiring…Im a Canadian who loves to camp…but when it gets cold there’s no way I’m going out there 😂😂😂 good for you for always braving the weather and getting out there and being so positive 👍👍👍🥰🥰
Lol …… I love it when it’s super cold. Best time to feel alive ! Happy Christmas.
Thanks mate👍. In Canada it’s proper cold though where real men live😂👍
Perfect weather for a great adventure. Another awesome video watched with a cup of tea by the woodburner. Great stuff.
Thanks mate as always 👍
Thanking you sir
I like the look of thst place Al. Could be on my bucket list for next year. Glad you liked the curry... All the best for Christmas and New Year to all your family and of course Blue!!!!
Cheers Heath👊. The curry went down well. It travelled a long way to get to me so thank you for that👍👍👍
Thanks Al one of my favourite mountains just so quite and as you show great views. Take care merry Christmas best wishes Chris
Yes and not many will climb it. 👊
Greatest combination since chip and pin! Love your videos mate!
Have been working through all your videos and am really enjoying them! Keep up the good work!
Another great film Al. You should be so proud of what you’ve achieved this year.. the content, the technical film making which I’m sure most have little appreciation of just how difficult it is, the promotion of healthy exercise and the outdoors, and the inspiration to just get out! Such a top job that has touched and inspired so many, including myself. Top job, hats off and thank you! Happy Christmas to you both 😊
Mate thank you! I really hope to inspire people to enjoy life more and be better dog owners giving them the exercise they need. Always appreciate your comments 👊
What a treat, moonlit feasts upon a frozen mountain, the company of a wonderful friend, and views to inspire. Perfect way to enjoy time. Thank you Blue and Alan, for your year of motivation and dazzling photography. And your right, to earn a treat is to really enjoy a treat. Big love and warm regards Blue and Alan. Merry Christmas and a very happy new year to all your family. Scott Somerset
Cheers Scott and thanks for joining us on our journeys 👊
Another fab video the scenery was beautiful. Had a giggle when you cudnt get your words out that beer must of been good 🤣🤣 hope you and your family have a lovely Christmas and thank you for all the amazing videos look forward to your next adventure xx
Thanks Sandra. Sometimes those words get stuck in my mouth 😂😂😂😂
Merry Christmas Al and Blue 💙 👍❄️🎅🎄⛺🐾
Cheers Benny Boy👊
Just watched the caving one recently. Blue prefers mountains to caves judging by body language.. No doubt about it. I watch the 'outdoor boys' sometimes. He goes big on the cooking angle.
So you remembered two beers but no water 🤣🤣 I'm amazed you ever survive a night out. Love the vlogs!
Priorities 😂😂😂
Only one thing to say Al and Blue 💙 Merry Christmas and a Happy New year, looking forward to 2023 and you guys 👍👍❄️🎍🎄🎊🍺🥃
Cheers Chris and to you👊
Another good video. In the military we were taught to boil risky water for 10 minutes to be safe.
Happy Christmas to you guys, have a great time.
Definitely when it’s life or death 👊👊👊
22:50 hi Al ,only just started watching you and even tho I head back to my campervan after along day in the lakes ,you’ve inspired me to try camping so bought a load of gear to start next year in the spring . Hopefully build my confidence up enough to stay out next time I’m doing the lakes or the Munros . Merry Xmas to you and blue 👊👊
Excellent Jase👊. It will just add to your adventures and give you an option 👍
Evening Alan, You should have used the ice , and melted it down, it’s cleaner than the water below, as the sediment has dropped lower in the water before it froze 👍🇮🇲
That’s exactly what I was thinking!
Yes but melting ice takes forever. I should have just chewed it up like Blue😂😂😂
@@BUSHMANandBLUE ha ha , yes he was loving it , great vlog as ever, if a bit chilly, fantastic getting the drone up, given how blustery it was 👍👍🤘🇮🇲
I'm late in tonight but this is a brilliant youngen be safe the two of you Will
Enjoyed all the great adventures you and Blue have been on this year, really inspired me to get out there next year 👍 have a Merry Christmas m8
Definitely Gary I’ll be watching you 😂
Wow, my brother came with a new video, we watch you with love and appreciation, we always hope for new videos to come, greetings from Turkey, beautiful person🇹🇷🇹🇷🇹🇷🇹🇷
Hi Al and Blue, I recently solo camped at 1130m then walked to a nearby peak at 1489m, my record so far. It's summer here in NZ so about 5 degrees overnight. I'm mentioning this to illustrate how inspirational you are and wish to thank you again for all I've learned. Happy Christmas to you 😊
Well done yorkshire man
Thanks mate and respect for getting out and experiencing the mountains in NZ. I’ve only ran the Kepler track there (7hours just over). Beautiful though👍
@BUSHMAN and BLUE I sure hope you get to come back to NZ sometime 😊 Plenty of hills to climb... I'm staying at Luxton Hut on the Kepler in Feb, can't wait!
Brilliant, just brilliant. You have had some stunning weather in the lakes recently. Thanks for sharing it with us. I'm not familiar with this particular area, I will have to look it up. It looks very picturesque. Hope you survived the manky water.
Those few mountains together are lovely from Wetherlam round to the Old Man of Coniston 👌
Could have used the ice from the surface of the ponds. Much cleaner than the water below
Another great trip. Just a shame about the water .... Yes. You should have carried some up .
As always your videos never disappoint. As far as being outside living in a self built small cabin is my dream. I will make it a reality as soon as my kids graduate. Keep up the awesome content. Happy holidays as well.
Definitely work towards that mate👊👊👊
Blue grabbing the ice off the pond haha brilliant vid pal 👍🏼🤙🏻
Yes I only noticed in the edit😂
HAPPY CHRISTMAS 🎅 Love your videos 💕 the views are always spectacular 😍 your energy and enthusiasm are contagious 🤩
Well hopefully I’ll keep making the videos 😉👊
Absolutely great one this mate really enjoyed watching it and a inspiration to everyone :) you should camp wild boar in Cumbria you’ll love it
Nothing worse than being at work and knowing you have new content out but can't watch it until I'm done work...well 8hrs later I'm now done work and at home now about to sit down and watch you and the Blue on my big screen Tv...was it worth the wait? Oh yeah!! Thanks to the both of you again for living on the edge and providing us with what you enjoy doing as much as we enjoy watching!! 🙏❤️🐶😬
TV screen’s definitely help those views shine😬😬😬
Enjoyed that nearly converted me into trying winter camping . Nearly ha we’ll done blue
😂 nearly!😂
Thanks for all the hard work to waste your good time filming for us instead of enjoying your trip more. We appreciate it a lot mate. Have a good week.
😂 it’s okay I love it regardless of the camera in hand
Another great video 👍 , such a fantastic place to be in that clear weather.
Views for miles all around, just makes me smile with joy.
We're lucky to be fit & healthy enough to enjoy these experiences 🍺
I just wish I was closer to Cumbria, but I'll enjoy a hike around the beautiful Suffolk tomorrow , to a village called Lavenham.
Thanks pal. The lakes are definitely an amazing place to explore. You’ll have to plan a long weekend in👍
Awesome video....thanks! We just lost our border collie & seeing you with Blue is very comforting. Here's to a beer at elevation....cheers 🍻
Always sad but the memories they provide are impeccable 👍. Thanks Ted
Really enjoyed that, opening shots were great, your vids just keep getting better, that water looked rank 😂
I’m learning all the time😬. Thanks Rob👊
I keep a stack of coffee filters and a rubber band in my bag for dirty water. I use them as a pre-filter for my MSR pump but you can wrap them around the mouth of your water jug and it’ll take most of the physical dirt out of the water and they don’t weigh anything. Great video man. You’ve got some beautiful mountains over there.
I usually have my water filter but coffee filters are a great idea👍👍👍. Thanks bud
