  • SUB-ZERO -9.9 WHITEOUT ! WINTER BLIZZARD MOUNTAIN CAMPING IN THE HILLEBERG SOULO BLACK LABEL TENT
    In this video, I head out on an epic winter wild camp on the summit of Y Foel Goch (2,641 ft) in Eryri National Park. Using the Hilleberg Soulo Black Label tent, a four-season solo shelter that can withstand the harshest weather conditions. Watch as I brave the blizzard conditions with whiteouts and freezing temperatures down to minus 9 degrees celsius in the wind. The hike in was brutal, taking in the summit of Gallt Yr Ogof first at (2,503 ft) before dropping down to the majestic col before Foel Goch. This was a true test of survival and endurance in the wild, in an area I have never hiked, let alone camped; with whiteout conditions on the descent requiring careful navigation skills. A few fine craft beers and a mini bottle of red saw the perfect end to a birthday wild camping celebration as I turn 42 on the day this video releases! The stunning scenery of the majestic Glyderau was dressed in a perfect winter coat of snow and ice - this was the best wild camp that I have ever experienced! I know this video is 'long' for TH-cam - but I didn't want to cut out the fantastic experience and want to keep the memories for when I'm not able to do this anymore.

      Is the rain coat waterproofing a rubbish surface finish or full gore tex? the finishes in my opinion all wear off. we need coats that last 30 years not 3 years. finishes imo opinion cannot be made good, nikwax re-proofer is too gentle organic to be any good imo, I've got three waterproof coats all no longer waterproof. I'm thinking all rubber or full gore tex, non of these other finishes. are much cop, and the brands degrade too quick to trust. truly wonderful drone shots in the morning.

      Good thoughts there and who knows! The cynic in me says that if they made the coating to never wear off, we would never buy a new jacket! I've had good results with Nickwax, but like you say it wears off too quickly. Liking the idea of Paramo jackets and doing some research on them at the mo......

    Went to my local supplier in November, Climbers Shop, Ambleside. Thought i would replace the Mountain Equipment shell I had on, circa 2002 for a new one! Matey said! WHY!! There’s nothing wrong with that one! Did not expect that response! And saved £300. Thank you for inviting me to your birthday celebration. Enjoyed the occasion with a can of Brew Dog Double Hazy Jane! Cheers Mate, Happy birthday. Xx

    I've followed the channel for many years now Chris. I've watched camps in the lakes, the pennine moors and enjoyed the Halloween specials on pendle hill and October camps with the lads. I've enjoyed gear reviews and made a few purchases thanks to mcm outdoors.
    We've all watched you go through hard times and come out the other side and watched nostalgic walks from your childhood where you talk about mindfulness and have no doubt helped and inspired people not to mention you getting out with your kids and other youtubers. I've sat in on the live chats and asked questions.
    I have to say though that this video was probably my favourite mcm video yet. It had everything. The build up and walk to the camp and the sense of relaxation when you pitched up really came across. That morning....wow, I got a bit emotional to be honest.
    Keep up the good work and a very happy birthday mate.

On some of our ranges we have eternal snow, but you have to climb higher for that. I'm constantly in the mountains and have been for 50 + years.

    Wow what an incredible camp..absolutely amazing, those clouds when you arrived draped over the mountains Wow, that has to be the best yet!! That is going to take some knocking of the No1 slot..what a incredible scenery to wake up to..
    I'm so glad you had the best room with a epic view 👌..
    Your right about the older labels being some of the best,when the companies started clawing in the expenditure on the quality they killed the brands themselves..they should have stayed true to themselves and not gotten so greedy & hopped on the disposable society train.
    Special memories in that jacket of yours and it looked new!
    It shows that you have looked after it and it's definitely looked after you in return.
    Fab camp Chris and I've left you couple of birthday beers on your coffee stand 😊..have a great night 🍻.

    • @MCMOutdoors
      @MCMOutdoors  6 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      Thanks very much Jane - your consistent support of the channel is fantastic! Yes, many brands which were superb, have now become 'high street' brands, with quality falling by the wayside...... it's a shame. That's why I like Scandinavian gear so much - many of those brands do not sacrifice quality for margins! The original Mera Peak was outstanding - other than the elastics, it's pretty much 8/10 condition - I really try and look after my gear, was overly so at one point but it's got to be used at the end of the day - a few minutes at the end of a trip etc, sees the gear right for many years to come hopefully. Thanks so much again - Chris

    That Jacket! The nuts! "I bought this myself, Hilleberg don't give tents away" intentional or not, that line is immense. The amount of people selling Soulo's just to go out and buy a new Vern 1 is insane. It's no doubt a great tent but if you have a Soulo, I don't believe you need to sell, each to their own mind you. Lá breithe shona duit a chara - happy birthday my friend.

    • @MCMOutdoors
      @MCMOutdoors  6 หลายเดือนก่อน

      Yep, each to their own..... Competition is always good for the consumer. I will hopefully try a Vern 1 at some point and then I will make a genuine comparison, having used the Soulo since 2016 in many different weather conditions. Thank you for watching and taking time to leave me a comment 👍🏕️

      Thank you - yes, it's plain to see in the video - the Soulo is hardly moving in the conditions. When pitched correctly and used correctly, it is a superbly strong and stable shelter and in my view, unsurpassed yet in a one person tent for sheer strength and quality.

      @@MCMOutdoors for sure pal. While we're here and looking at your Soulo BL, i think it's fair to say it's still the King of 1 man winter mountain tents. I've seen the recent Vern 1 reviews, and i know it's a steal at the price when compared, but i'll go for a proven track record - The BL is on the shopping list, now i just need to decide what colour to get.

    • @MCMOutdoors
      @MCMOutdoors  6 หลายเดือนก่อน

      Yes, the Vern 1 looks nice on paper - I'd like to test one to compare. Lots of claims at the moment, but no real tests that I have seen - nothing more than over dramatic claims...... The Soulo BL is for me, the ultimate in one person shelters until I've experienced the competition. You won't regret it 👍

    Happy Birthday mate! 42? Spent longer in the queue for the Co Op 🤣 I like how you've had a piece of kit on that you've had for years! I'm not particularly enjoying the 'next big thing' with all the TH-camrs ATM. Everyone showing off the Nortent Vern 1 as the greatest thing ever, might be, but I never trust anyone who puts out a groundsheet out bigger than the tent when their doing a review. 😉

      Haha, love it. I've actually got most of my old gear, I tend to hoard stuff! Each to their own I guess, but I'm not sure how you can take a tent out of a bag and claim that it can beat tent a, b, c etc - without having used it extensively in a range of conditions. I have used the MSR Access on many camps and in varying weather conditions, but still not in any position to make a review on it - credibility is very important to me. I took some bits out of this video, esp after a few beers - and many channels are becoming nothing more than an advertisement, rather than focusing on the beauty of wild camping itself. I've been guilty of it myself to a degree, but firmly going the other way now. Thank you for watching pal.

    Great video 👍 but the hilleburg is definitely not a bomb proof tent! I’ve seen them fail many times in the wind unfortunately! I think there just becoming a fashionable tent to have now on TH-cam! I use the Nordisk Svalbard on the mountains, it’s built like a tank.

    • @MCMOutdoors
      @MCMOutdoors  6 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      Cheers for watching! Respectfully disagree with your comment about Hilleberg being fashionable for TH-cam - tried and tested brand with real pedigree and used in the harshest places of the world. I've owned the Soulo for around 8 years and used in a variety of conditions, some extreme. Never failed, only once had a pole bend slightly in extreme winds - Hille replaced the pole section without question. It's a great tool for a job 👍 Nordisk make some superb tents, the Svalbard is nice. Low profile to shed wind, although not much space. I have the Telemark 2.2LW, Oppland and Halland 2LW, fantastic.
