I'm an ex squaddie (infantry for 10 years) and have been wild camping with mates for many years. In all those years I have never done any solo stuff. I came across your channel and you inspired me to go and do my first solo. I did it last night up high in the Snowdonian National Park which is just down the road from me. I absolutely loved it. I could do things at my own pace and lots of time to really take it all in. So thanks mate and all the best.
Solo backpacking is definitely a nice way to relax and get away from it all.
@low7782 Royal Green Jackets now known as The Rifles.
Try taking a bivi abroad. It's so liberating to walk out of an airport with zero itinerary. Flights are dead cheap nowadays so if you take your own accommodation it's just a matter of matching the cheapest flights to your free time. Skyscanner even has an "everywhere " search. You can put your dates in and choose the cheapest destination. One way to make sure you explore places you wouldn't normally ! It's not your normal holiday but I've found myself in resorts where I've stayed with my mates or my partner in really great hotels and apartments - and I've enjoyed my solo wild camping trip just as much. Our country is lovely but the weather......it's a whole other world in winter in the Canaries 😎 John
@@johnvancamper9581 that just sound so superb.
@low7782 haha I will....if I ever finish rebuilding it ! But seriously, much as I love vans and will defo do an extended stay in one abroad, you can't beat the fredom of a 3kg pack and nowhere to be back to except the airport for your flight home. 😎 Happy travels. John
1) why was this recommended to me? 2) why do I love it so much?
Great work pal.
So into solo camping videos ATM!
Ahh, I love the TH-cam algorithm. It throws videos at you that you'd think you'd have zero interest in, and yet they turn out to be fascinating.
Great video👍 sending love from North Yorkshire
Thomas ... Good observation !
Also throws a lot of s*** you are not at all too, lol
Don’t know how that got in my feed. A lovely 10 minutes.
I really appreciate the comment Alex. I'm glad that you were pleasantly surprised. If you like the views...my new video has some stunning scenery. th-cam.com/video/gC2MbLAULKE/w-d-xo.html
Nicely filmed and edited Paul.... No crappy music, no boring bits ! Congratulations
Thanks for watching 👍
Hated camping I just thought it was pointless until I got older and I've just bought all the gear but I've no idea and probably be eaten by sheep when I go on my 1st camping trip..
Even worse is being eaten by midges!
From what ive seen from a few videos on redtube midgets dont do a lot of biting
Watch out for those killer sheep, they are man eaters, once they taste human flesh nobody's safe.
I do alot of wild camping in Cornwall where I live. If it's just a single night I put a really nice steak in a zip lock bag with garlic and rosemary butter then freeze it over night. The morning I leave I pack said frozen steak in my bag, by the time I'm ready to set up for the night my lovely steak is ready to cook. I also take a bottle of red.
Hi Paul. Thanks for the vid. I use the same bivi and air pad wild camping in South of France, Switzerland and in winter...Gran Canaria. Flights on Skyscannner are so cheap if you can be flexible when you go. I use my Rab Neutrino as a wearable sleeping bag on the rare occasions I need one. My pack is basically a wet bag with straps at 300g. I can go on a December holiday to the Canary sunshine for under 100 quid. For me this is what lightweight camping gear was made for lol. Happy travels everyone. John
i love how youtube throws these odd videos our way. i did look for bivi bag as I am looking at different options for when cycling across USA and i want to do this Ultra Light. Great video, and thanks for the gear list too
I love it, such a calming video. No idea why it's been recommended to me though😂
Yeah I didn't know why it was recommended to me either but I'm glad tube did so I enjoyed the video and am probably interested in getting one of the bivi tents
Google has modelled your brain. It just took a guess and now you’ve just reinforced the model further. Uh oh.
@@deldia yep I reckon you are somewhere near correct ish
TH-cam recommended this video to me out of the blue and I have to say that this is some of the purest and most beautiful content I have ever seen. Great shots, great calming audio and just the simple bliss of the setting all together make a beautiful video. I greatly encourage this style you have going it is extremely refreshing coming from the "mainstream" side of TH-cam and all the drama that most people watch. Thankyou
(If I could make one change, I would ever so slightly add in a tiny amount of wind noise to just dip the viewer into the setting just a little more but keep it up, subscribed)
If you like this you'll love Joe Robinet , just punch his name in and enjoy 😊
It was the stillness that struck me. As golden as the sunrise. Mark
It was so peaceful Mark. I dropped lucky for the conditions. Best wishes.
@@PaulMessner Always nice when that happens!
Just found this on recommended. Already inspired to go out and do more camping. Keep up the good work!!!
Nope! Too small for me. I’m claustrophobic. But it’s very stealthy at that. Thanks for sharing that experience. It really helps in deciding on a bicycle purchase. I think I’ll stay with a pack tent.
That’s a beautiful spot there. You are fortunate to be able to use the area. Thank you for your videos. Very enjoyable and calming.
Bivy purchase. Stupid autocorrect!! 😄
Camp on a school night, great way to break the week up, nicely done.
There's less people about too which makes it all the better. Thanks for watching.
I've read a few books that use the peaks district as the location. Glad to see the written description does it justice. That place is beautiful.
Very relaxing to watch , makes me jealous though wishing i was out somewhere. 👍
Great, simple video. Thanks for not stuffing it with inappropriate, music. So much nicer to hear the sounds of nature, even when it’s totally quiet. All the best from Yorkshire.
Thanks Lee I'm glad you enjoyed the video
Delightfully simple vlog. Life's simple pleasures.
ooooh what a sunrise! Awesome as always Paul. England / Scotland / Wales in the summer time in these conditions just cannot be beaten. ty
Conditions were near perfect Paul. Really loved this one. Cheers
I’ve been watching your videos for a while and I dearly love the Peak District now. I almost understand the topography and views. Castleton is a personal favorite from my reading. I hope to read Walter Scott’s Peveril of the Peak soon just for fun. Your Lake District videos are really beautiful but a bit overwhelming to hike it seems. The Peak District feels very beginner friendly. And yes the views are mint. Cheers Paul from Alabama USA
Amazing place! And so refreshing to see you doing camp! So jealous of all that gear and beautiful view😍
Thank you. It's a really beautiful part of the UK.
@@PaulMessner Didn't know we can camp this side of the scottish border.
Nice tent👍🏼 Greetz from Germany 🇩🇪✌🏻️
I've had a binge day of Paul Messner, haven't done a session like this on Netflix.
It's much appreciated thank you for watching
Ah my old stompin grounds. Thanks for that video, brought back some very fond memories. Cheers from NZ.
I’m just starting out camping again having to get bits as and when , haven’t camped since I was a teenager, now nearly 50 time to get back in to it. Thanks
That is a great tip - writing large on the packet so you can easily see it at night!
After a hard day at work this was a very relaxing video - both watching you as a person and the beautiful scenery, thanks
I'm glad that it's made a difference to your day. I appreciate the kind comments
My old stomping ground being a Sheffield lad. My First camp away from home was at the top of Wynats Pass when I was 14 👍🏻
Used to sleep in the garden in a tent every summer from about 5 years old.
It's not a bad stomping ground Michael. I'm not too far from Sheffield myself.
Really lovely, Paul - worth it for the sunrise alone. I’m taking my 7 year old son on a 2-night wild camp in the Peak District in a few weeks. I won’t show him this video, though, just in case it’s pissing down with rain when we get there!
😂 that would be typical. The sunrise was a lovely surprise. So glad the noisy cockerel screamed at 4am. Make sure to comment and let me know how the camp goes with the nipper. He'll love the adventure.
great video. the best thing about the Dutch bivi is it has a big side zipper to get into it
I agree Gary. the side zipper is better for getting in and out. Rab used to make the ridge master that did the same...the stopped production a while back though.
Good video pal, I live in chapel 10 mins down the road, take all this for granted, we really do live in a beautiful area.
Coming from a 24 year old who hated duke of Edinburgh bronze award, this video was thoroughly enjoyable :)
Nice little 'tent'. Getting sorted out in the morning would be an issue if it was peeing down rain. I use a Blade2 that gives me enough room to drag some of my pannier stuff inside. The Peak District is somewhere I've seen on a few videos but never actually walked in. It looks fantastic. Different from the Lakes and the Trossachs! This is tempting me to get out with the bicycle and tent. Even the sound of the gas cooker starting up is great. Hopefully, I'll manage something before the summer disappears. Breathtaking sunset too. Thanks for the lovely video.
It's well worth a visit Terry
I have watched tons of your videos and this one is my favourite - so tranquil and brilliant review on camping equipment as usual, thanx Paul
Stunning location and I got lucky with the sunrise.
Nicely done Paul, that looked a grand place for a 'school night' camp. Must visit there when I'm next down in the Peak District. Nice tip with writing the measurements on the freeze dried pack.
Cheers
Robin
Thanks Robin. I'm getting old now so can't see the small print as the light starts to fade 😂. When you come down this way give me a shout. And I'll let you know when head north of the border.
@@PaulMessner perfect Paul, that would be great.
Any time pal
I have that little Grundig radio, love it. Gets great DAB reception and has plenty of grunt for headphones.
I really like mine too.
Thanks Paul. I really enjoy your videos. You live in a beautiful part of the world. 🙂
Great video! I would love to see a backpack comparison video with a few of the packs you’ve used.
Cheers Zach. I will see what I can do with the backpacks. 👍
Better you than me Paul - in my younger days it wouldn't have bothered me but now I'm strictly a summer Camper. I love the reviews you do - please keep them going.
Great random TH-cam recommendation :) I'm from Buxton originally, but live in Western Australia now. Nice to see some familiar scenery
Camping in WA isn’t quite as gentle
Glad you liked it
@@ronanrogers4127 ha ha agreed, but amazing all the same, esp in the South West or up towards Ningaloo
@@PaulMessner Loved it! Cracking videos, really like your channel
Sat in my flat in Buxton watching Paul set up camp a few miles from here 😀
It’s Buxton Fair this weekend so it’s going to be very busy and no doubt a bit of carnage for the drinking drunks of the town 😳
Very relaxing to watch as well as inspiring and informative with beautiful scenery 👌 you get my vote ☺️ thank you
Just realized I went hiking here 2 years ago while visiting family in the UK. That's awesome.
Cracking quick overnighter Paul , that sunrise was just special can see why you kept stopping to take it in . atb Dave.
Really glad that the cockerel woke me up. The sunrise was quite lovely. Cheers Dave
Lovely video. I have a single hooped Goretex bivi bag. For a long time, I worried that I would suffocate if I slept with the zip closed. I slept on a slope one night with the zip slightly open for ventilation and woke up with the bottom end of the bag sloshing with rainwater. I eventually forced myself to spend a whole night int it with the entrance fully zipped up - after all, if there was a real risk of suffocation, they'd put additional ventilation in... wouldn't they? I survived. I need to do this sort of thing more often. Thanks for your inspirational video.
They can be zipped up but I always leave a little gap to help with condensation. Thanks for watching
@@PaulMessner Thanks for responding. Yes, it's certainly more airy and drier with a bit of a gap, but it's nice to know that I can survive if I have to zip it up on a stormy night. :)
Can’t be more grateful to have this on Sheffield’s back garden! Favourite place
Gods country
Great video. I'd go with manual exposure to prevent the meter from stopping down when you get a bit of sky in the picture.
I just use gopro straight out of the box. Thanks for watching.
Wow! That’s a pricey bivvy! Glad you got on well with it.👍🏻
I also like a bivvy for a quick set up and take down, making for a quick start.
Amazing part of our island country...that was a lovely sunrise too! Take care
Thanks Tony. Glad you enjoyed this one.
Paul Messner + Patrick Dickinson, the collaboration we need!
Solus Det I would love this to happen. Massive fan of Pat’s videos. I’ve been following him for years. He only lives up the road from me too. Sound him and see what Pat has to say 😉
@@PaulMessner Dropped the same on his latest 👍
I live about 15 mins away from Castleton, done hundreds of walks around there..
Great video Paul, i love Castleton there are some good pubs there. Good to see you living the dream.
It's a lovely village. The pubs are indeed very good. Nice food and ales.
never really considered doing an overnighter during the week ... but why not ! Great idea
There's no people about either so even better
Hey Paul I see it is in England, What a beautiful place...keep up the great videos
I was in the same spot a couple years ago, it was lovely sunny weather. Next morning woke up to complete white out. 6 inch of snow on ground and gale force winds with a snow blizzard. The peak district cant be trusted 😂 It was March time though so the weather is unpredictable anyway. Good video by the way mate 👍
Beautiful scenery! I hope some day to see places like this in person, great video as always
Cheers Jerry. Glad you enjoyed it
Superb spot that Paul, I'm still yet to visit that area but it's high on the never ending list. Well presented as always and that bivvy looks epic for a quick school night overnighter. Cracking mate, atb, Dave
These lists get longer mate. Places to visit and pitch up, gear to buy, beers to sup. I need a lotto win to be able to make time. The Peaks is well worth a visit. It's not the scale of the Lakes but it's still beautiful. Thanks for watching pal.
A most excellent wildcamp Paul, that sunrise was a photographers dream, cracking location mate.
I agree Toby. I need to up my game with the photography side. I don't like carrying all the camera gear though when camping though.
@@PaulMessner Yup, its a fine line trade off between, dslr beer, dslr beer, dslr mmmm beer wins yayyyy
If you use the Bivi a lot check out the Macpac Bush Cocoon. It zips down the side so easier to get in to, the side has a bug net to so I normally leave the bivi unzipped with just the bug mesh to prevent condensation. Also the head area is on an angle so a surprising amount of room at the top, easily fit a backpack in. I use it a lot for motorcycle camping, only downside is the price but they become a lot more reasonable when on sale.
I had looked at these Adam and they do look a great bit of kit. They are also made from eVent material. The problem is you can't find them anywhere any more. I couldn't even see them on ebay used. Thanks for the great comment.
@@PaulMessner Hi Paul, happy new year. I just remembered this post after seeing Macpac are now selling the Bushcocoon again and it's currently on sale which I think is a lot fairer price than the rrp. Maybe you can reach out to them for a product review, it's by far the best bivy I had and not sure why they don't push the marketing for these. www.macpac.com.au/equipment/tents/hiking-tents/macpac-bush-cocoon/114142-NKG00-OS.html
Happy new year Adam. I’ll check it out. Thanks for the link.
Been up and down that road many times. What a view. Thank you for sharing that Paul.
Just stumbled across your channel paul. I'm looking at upgrading my backpacking gear. The way you film and explain things is great. I'm laid up with a bust leg watching your videos. Please carry on with your beginner series. I'd love to know more about cook sets and stoves. Any chance of a video on that
Nice one Paul thanks for taking us along
Glad you joined me widgy
Just don't take one of those bivis out on a rainy night. Going to toilet in night in hammering rain, then trying to get back in makes you realise how awkward they are in the wet. Impossible to get into without doing the reverse crawl on wet ground. Great for fair weather and when you need to keep low to ground and out of high winds. Good videos
There the other weekend with the dogs, Great circuit walk so good choice for an overnighter! Cracking sunrise so lucky to do it on a work night - enjoy!
It's much quieter on school nights but unfortunately it's back to reality the following morning.
@@PaulMessner you climbed down that gully, we climbed up!
@@chrisarnold4709 it's steeper than it looks and quite slippery when wet.
Cracking Paul & a superb spot too.not too sure I'd suit a bivvy at 6'1" but I like the tents too much anyway.cracking place up there,the geological aspect is well worth reading up on as is most of it with the peak district.cracking sunrise too,there's nowt like beating alarm & watching that current bun coming up with brew in hand.catch up soon mate & tfs..Andy.
It's a cracking part of the peaks Andy. There's loads of history around that area and I believe it's the only area where you can find blue John. I'm sure you'll be able to confirm or ruin that fact 😂. The bivi is not for all occasions unlike a tent. Catch you soon mate.
Hi Paul. You've inspired us to do some wild camping. We love your vlogs. Our boat is near Marple so as keen walkers we thought we'd walk Kinder Scout and camp one night this week. We love camping but have never wild camped before. It'll be a challenge as we haven't got the lightest of kit but nonetheless we wil vlog our adventure, with two dogs tagging along. Hope to meet on the trail one day 👍
On Google Earth street view of the highway below there is a small Porsche club driving up the canyon. It’s pretty cool. Castleton looks really neat also.
Nailed it again Paul, smashing sunrise. They used to do a double hooped bivi called a Ridge Master too but they discontinued it, shame as it looked good. Hope the weather smartens up soon though, last summer it ain’t 🌧🌧🌧
I'd looked for a Ridge Master but they are as rare as rocking horse shit. Happy with the raider though. Thanks as usual for watching mate
Love the limestone Peaks. Going there tomorrow, just for a day hike sadly not camping.
Hope the weather holds out for you Barry. I much prefer to go midweek when it's not so busy.
What a stunning spot, I will have to visit that one for a cheeky overnighter. Like the bivi, I have the twin hooped Rab ridge master as I would struggle to slip into the ridge raider bag now I'm not as young and nimble as I once was, tbh watching me get into the ridge master ain't pretty. Both cracking bags though. Being as I've been watching you channel for ages I've done the polite thing and now subbed. Keep up the good stuff, for me your channel is one of the best and i really enjoy watching.
so refreshing to see this recommended on you tube instead of the classic clickbait nonsense
Hi Paul, I have a TBI due being injured in Afghanistan. I’m looking for a 2 person tent that has LOTS of ventilation as I over heat easy and is water proof (medium British rain level), I can sling a poncho over it if it’s pissing down with rain. Wanna try and get some friends into camping. Many thanks and love your videos!
I camped in my bivy tent once, but it was a camp out I still recall with fondness.
The sound of cracking a beer. Mmmm
I walked along that footpath near the castle and in Castleton for my duke of Edinburgh award, great video as always!
Thanks for watching Alfie
Good one Paul I prefer an unhooped bivvy bag and a tarp. Weather permitting just a bivvy.... be hellish in the rain. Done a winter bivvy in the snow was great under the tarp but had a nightmare one summer with the midges, couldn't stick my head out the bag without being swarmed. ATB
I don't mind a regular bivi in the winter either Eddie. But not a fan of bugs and slugs. I do like the bug net that this provides. I do carry a little polycro sheet that could act as a tarp for getting in when it's raining. However will save the bivi for mainly the sunshine camps. All the best mate.
I'm looking at the Rab Ascent bivi for the same reason; its kinda like the Raider withough the hoop. The though of bugs on ma coupon all night ain't a pleasant thought. I do like the look of the Ridge Raider though.
@@luckybuccaneer the ascent bivi is decent too. Check out my striding edge video. I use one in that. It's narrower than the ridge raider but if you're less chunky than me it should be perfect.
Paul Messner oh that’s interesting, I’ll have a look. I ain’t no slim Jim!
@@luckybuccaneer I could get in but there wasn't much room with an air pad. Thinner pads are better or use the pad on the outside.
Some people have all the fun... another belting vid mate keep em coming 👍🏻 ATB Danny.
Glad you liked it Danny. Thanks for watching.
Brilliant views, don't leave us waiting to long for the next wild camp 😅👍😛
I do my best James without getting linched by the Mrs and kids. 😂. Keep hitting that like button and one day the it would be the dream job. 🤞😂
@@PaulMessner will do 👍👍
Nice video. Like the rab bivy to. Never used a bivy myself, always a small tent (macpac microlight) but I'd love to give it a go.
Just spending too much on torches at the moment to afford one. Going to try a tarp setup with a dd poncho and a cheap nature hike tarp over the summer. Going minimal :)
Thanks for the video
I’m taking early retirement in a months time,so hoping to get some wild camping done ower the lakes Paul,yet another great video 👍
What a brilliant video! Really would love a nice bivi like that. Way to live in the summer!
My school would always visit Castleton for the end of year 6 adventure retreat. Sadly we didn't have the option of camping in Bivis. Fantastic video, really enjoyed seeing the Hope Valley from this angle.
Excellent real life adventure, looks great Paul, thanks for sharing!
Is it me, or does camping make a beer taste so much better.
Cheers!
I find that a half-cooked can of cider tastes like nectar when you are in the middle of nowhere!
I agree with that. Glad you liked it. Thanks for watching.
It definitely does taste better. As does bacon cooked outdoors.
@@3204clivesinclair Who doesn't love bacon on a camping trip!!!!
Yummy!
Loved this. I cant wait to get out there camping myself.
Where abouts Is flattest to pitch Paul? I've been twice now up Jacobs ladder way across all of kinder scout and down the other way through the bog of eternal stench and nothings screamed pitch here at me. Last night I slept in a farmers field next to a dead sheep because I must have walked 20 mile in intense heat and I was simply done for the day lol. Thanks for sharing I love yours and Dean reads videos.
It's just a case of looking until you find somewhere
WOW !! Quite the channel you have yourself ! Just found you through Backcountry Exposure ! Subbed !
It's very green out that way ! Great scenery ! CHEERS !
Thank you. Hope you like the videos. I've been following Devin's channel for a while and it's good to see how other guys backpack in different parts of the world
@@PaulMessner I've some catching up to do !
@@ItsGoodintheWoods enjoy 👍
Brilliant video Bivi camping in the Peak District great sunrise capture nice one Paul take care
Thanks Andrew. The sunrise was epic.
I’m in the Peak District tomorrow looks good and can’t wait !!
Nice color on that bivy. Earth tones are always a plus in my book. I'm not fond of bright colors on gear.
considering this was a random video I was quite surprised to find out I've in fact been here while on the way to the starting point for my DofE silver. If anyone is able to drive to this location I highly recommend you do it because it is beautiful!!
Great little video as always great info about the kit you use, as for food tended to use Wayfarer meals rather than dehydrated however following one of your videos tried one or two of the Summit meals and was very impressed also added the Optimus (H)Eat pouch which has made a great difference in keeping my food warm.
Hi Jeff. i've seen the pouches. Andy Beavers, Dave Miles and Craig (wildcamping101) have one. they do look good. i'll have to pick myself one up. Wayfarer aren't too bad at all. I just prefer the summittoeat.
Perfect. UK really is terrific.
Cameras never seem to catch the depth and show how big and high this area is. It's more spectacular then is been shown
Brilliant mate, stunning sunrise you got lucky with that one and certainly beats being stuck in a house. Love the bivvy too, do you think you will use it more than tents over summer? Look forward to getting out with ya soon pal, a beer or two and a catch up is well overdue. Hope all is well, atb Steve
Cheers Steve. The bivi is a quality bit of kit. However, I can't replace a tent when you want a bit of luxury. It's more for quick overnight trips when the weather is glamorous. It will get plenty of use mind. Especially on school nights. Ready for that catch up. Pull ya finger out 👍. See you soon buddy.
@@PaulMessner ha ha I'm working on it mate lol life is far too busy atm. Yeah it looks mint I may have to have a go of it at some point for a stealthy camp see if I can get away with the smaller interior. Mind as far as school night camps go it doesnt get any better than this 👌
Not sure why you would fill that tiny tent with all that gear, but this is sweet
Not seen winnets pass since I was a kid loved been around the peak District...
Great videos Paul & great gear reviews ! Thanks
Winnats pass. Drive through this to castleton everyday to work. I may have even seen you on my way home at about 10pm. Beautiful place.
What a beautiful spot and hike. I really must make my way over to that side of the Atlantic at some point.
