    WILD CAMPING IN A SNOWSTORM
    2 nights trapped on a mountain in a snowstorm within the safety of a tent. Highlighting the difference in weather conditions between the valley bottoms and the mountains and making sure you have the correct kit to suit your adventures.
    Get outside

    The look on Blues face the first time you got out the tent was a very rare look indeed, even on your face, you both understood the necessity to get back in pretty quick. The second time out the tent looked pretty perfect, when Blue is jumping, that's a good indicator that all is well, not that you need a clue when all is good.

      @arthurrsaker8893 ปีที่แล้ว

      Dogs have an extremely acute sense of smell which makes it impossible for them to not know our mood and emotional state from the smell on our breath of the hormones our bodies release. They are also acute readers of our body language and our patterns of behaviour. They know for example from a preceding action what rhe subsequent action is likely to be. If your dog is at your side through every waking moment, he will read you like book. That's the relationship Blue has with his boss, and the one my goldie has with me.

    Wow....that was awesome. I have been on the top of a Munro in a whiteout....which, fortunately, soon subsided. Nothing like what you experienced there.
    Always, carried spare kit and on a few occasions been required. If not for me, but mate who slipped off a plank bridge into a burn....lucky, dropped about six foot just missing some big stones....soaked through....my spare gear provided him with a change of clothing until we could dry his in a bothy we headed to....with a nice fire😊

    @Globetrotter-1 2 ปีที่แล้ว +4

    I was just waiting for you to trek back through the snow after playing with the 🐕 dog, and suddenly say to the camera..."I can't find the tent ⛺! " 😂
    Since a 5-year old kid, I've loved being out experiencing wild weather...and now at 64, I still love it...the wilder the storm the better. It simply makes you feel happy and keeps the boy inside me alive.
    Viewing your short film today, spending a few days on top of a mountain 🗻 in storm Barra, really shows what living outdoors in rough weather is like. It exudes the awesome power of nature... balanced with both yours and Blue's sheer enjoyment of just being there together.
    A positive outlook is all it normally takes to survive in most situations.
    Loved it! Subscribed. 😉
    One short note regarding the ⛺ tent: I think the Fjallraven needs a few adjustable air vents higher up the walls to allow circulation in these situations to aid release of trapped air. Using double layer of poles I think was a really positive idea. So many modern tents have thin, lightweight yet very flimsy poles that just can't cope with severe storm gusts.
    Right....on to part 2! 😉

    • @BUSHMANandBLUE
      @BUSHMANandBLUE  2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Awesome mate! Welcome and thank you. You obviously understand the feeling you get from getting out there 👍👍👍. Loosing the tent is the part when things can get dangerous. I was quite aware of that so kept it within reach 😉

    • @Globetrotter-1
      @Globetrotter-1 2 ปีที่แล้ว

      @@BUSHMANandBLUE Judging by your positive attitude, I'm sure you'd have been fine if the tent collapsed. Probably the worst scenario would be for the fabric itself to tear, and then be ripped off the poles by severe wind gusts.
      But then, you'd simply trek back down, with Blue guiding the way home. 😉
