You are absolutely wiping the floor with every other UK TH-cam channel... You and Blue are going to be HUGE on TH-cam and rightly so! Keep the videos coming... Love em 👍
W O W !!! I’m lost for words! That’s the most immense compliment I’ve ever received. Thank you so much 😊. I definitely want to be an integral part of the wild camping community so I’ll take ‘HUGE’ and do the best I can. Honestly Thank you.
I have to add my comments to all those that I am in praise of you mate. Ever since I have discovered your channel, I have been blown away by not just your availability and skills in camping and tracking and hiking but also your total humanity and your love for nature and animals. You are an awesome human being and an inspiration.
Thanks John! I tried to keep it no nonsense but real. I just hope people can at least take something from it. I guess the thumbs down is because they’ve never seen a unicorn and therefore don’t believe. 😂
Thats the no nonsense Tyke in you just like myself ,can't stand pretentious people with egos where in Yorkshire ? I was born in Middlesbrough but have lived in Inverness for the last 50 years, 10 minute walk and I am in the back of beyond !
I’m 60 years old enforces and been out 9 years , thought after watching your video I’d give it a bash from hartsop, oh what a mare. Went the steepest way up, so blowing out my arse after 20 mins, that bad I never made it all the way up due to starting late, ended up pictching half way up on a slope. Got through the night with great star show and scenery, coming back down I felt like a clown with piles. Now in a warm bath and fixing my first challenge to do some more in a couple of weeks, the tarn was full of kids so kept to myself. If it wasn’t for your videos I’d be a right couch potatoes, your right , the scenery and sense of accomplishment is priceless. Thank you bro
Big respect to you , I used to do a lot of wild camping but due to a serious accident 5 yes ago mobility is a real struggle for me but watching your vids had the memory's flooding back , not to sound soppy lol but I relived my hikes by watching yours as a result I subbed , great vid keep them coming
I've been wild camping now for over 40 years and still found your video inspiring. Excellent filming and editing. Totally sound, comprehensive advice presented in a carefully considered way. Testing gear first in a safe environment is such crucial advice. I would also advise familiarising oneself with, for example, zips and draw cords on jackets (while standing in a shower!). Also, take a suitably sized bottle to pee in at night, especially if it's raining, and a cloth in case of spills! A microfiber towel is very useful to remove condensation from the fly inner, as well as for getting dry after tarn swims. Thanks for a superb piece of work.
Hi, yes it may be obvious and common sense to most but out of the hundreds of wild camping TH-cam videos I have seen, you are the first one to talk about "The morning ritual" so well done you. As always, you and Blue have been a brilliant watch. Cheers, Tom
Apologies for finding you channel as late as I have - it is by far the best channel I have come across for this type of stuff. Such a great message and reminder for the more seasoned wild camper. If we all live by these rules there would be far less 'Dicks' in the world and far more healthy Unicorns. Keep up the great work. 👍
You may need to refer to the Lake District National Park Authority regulations. Wild camping for more than a single night, even with the landowner's permission, is illegal.
🌜🦋🦋 you and blue are loved by lots of people all over the world, I love watching your vids and you are going to get lots and lots of subscribers, you guys deserve it 🦋🦋🌛
Only Six minutes into this video and already mightily impressed esp about camping, first time, in a garden with all your kit. Thank you so, so much for this and the other brilliants sets of advice, like....taking a first-aid kit; and telling next of kin where you're headed etc
I’m glad it was helpful! Every one has different thoughts and opinions but taking a bit of positivity from different sources always helps. Hopefully all my videos you’ll pick something up from. 😊😬
You and Haze are awesome with your videos and advice .. thank you. Its a double edged sword though, videos like this inspire and educate but also during lock down I believe the popularity of you tube and vids on wild camping has also had a negative effect. I am no expert and just play at it but I have done motorcycle adventures with wild camping for years and started doing more hiking the last 4 or 5 years and it was almost like the best kept secret and done by like minded people. Now though, there are more and more people whose camping is all about how many cans of ale and bottles of red can be chugged, roaring fires and burning steaks ... I know I risk being a right tart about this but honestly, never known such disregard for litter, noise, damage and just upping and leaving everything ... but 15 mins of Go Pro footage in the can ... I hope it all settles back down as Prague reopens for stags and Go Outdoor membership cards run out ... told you I would rant like a tart 😷😋 ... I know that you guys who have always done it right will always tell it right as well and call out such tools ... I guess we cant be too upm our own ar*es about it all? I just prefered pre-you tube but watch these vids all the time, can't win 🤣 cheers.
Lock down has definitely lead to more fly camping but none of those types watch TH-cam videos for inspiration. The people who watch I would say are generally true wild campers or wannabe true wild campers. I feel in today’s society there is too much time spend off the natural earth so inspiring people to get outside and re connect with nature is one of the main ways to combat several physical and mental conditions that too many people suffer with. I think certain TH-camrs promote this well and are helping people live happier lives and to be more respectful to Mother Nature. Soon the ‘fly camping’ lot will be back doing their thing elsewhere but if it continues I’d be happy with very hefty fines or more importantly community service by cleaning our National parks. Thanks for your message. Al
@@BUSHMANandBLUE No worries mate ... we can't let them spoil it ... will be back out in two weeks on Credigon and looking for a little spot for a pitch no doubt ... cheers bud
Welcome mate! Enjoy the rest of my adventures and your own. I’m glad you’re the type that is open to learning. There’s too many know all’s!!! All the best Al
Great tips! You are the second person on TH-cam lately that says, familiarize yourself with a map. Don't rely on your phone. Additionally, know how to use a compass. Thanks for the tips!
I watched your videos many times this one actually I watched before when I had my old phone it didn't transfer my information from TH-cam to this phone. I'm glad you watched it because I learned so much from you I'm 63 years old and I am retired I just enjoy your adventures and all the efforts you put into it especially in Scotland when you're up on that spine of the mountain in what you could have just felt either side at any time. You are a great inspiration to me as many other bushcrafters are as well I watch many hours of other bushcrafters and hikers. I have learned many things about England camping areas such as Dartmoor the lake district the Wainwright trails and Wales. As you say be safe leave no Trace you don't bite up more than you can chew LOL keep up the great work I will continue to watch your videos religiously! Your friend everything be safe and leave no Trace
Brilliant video mate and thanks for the advice I was looking to go up to foggy mountains but I’m not going to risk it now I’m just going to go to a small and easy one thanks again
Thanks my friend. I love ve the respect you have for our planet. Your humble and you seem to realize that mother nature is alpha and we are just living in it and need to respect Her! Thank you for sharing your knowledge and adventures! Take care friend.
Thanks very much for this. I'm returning to wild camping after years away so I wanted a refresher. - Great video mate so thanks . One thing I've always taken in gaffer tape in my kit. Great for mending most bits of kit and body parts from cuts to strengthening ankles after a sprain (and I'm sure it would help out with runners nips as well, as long as you put something under the tender bit lol) Thanks again mate, really enjoyed it.
i cant do a thumbs up for the new guys so i will do it in writing hope they have many great wild camps in the future i remember my first wild camp i was alone couldn't find a place to camp and ended up pitching my tent in the thickest fog i have ever seen in total darkness i did do tons of research before so i did have the right gear and a head torch it was an adventure and i had tons of fun with it i think i was like 13 at the time so many years ago and now i camped in all conditions all over the world .... if you ask me any adventure is a good adventure just go out and enjoy nature and enjoy the world its gonna make you love it more ...... another good videos from you keep up the good work ...... best regards from scandinavia
I'm pleased you mention Learning Curves; Iv Wild Camped since the age of 14yrs old, now at 60yrs of age, I have never understood why manufacturers still wind test their tents door facing the wind? I never ever pitch door into the wind & never known anyone that would. You should do a Video of how people can get blown off the side of Mountains if they get the wrong info. I also pack the tent away with the back corner pegging point showing, this is for heavy storm force winds, tent bag tide to Bergen or self, then before the tent comes out of the bag, I put a peg through that back pegging point then into the ground, tent still in the bag. I then ready the Poles, then I take the tent from bag letting it face itself down the wind anchoring all the points before I put the poles in & guyed out. & Yes, Leave no trace. Great Videos, Thank You.
There are so many opinions out there for wild camping that it gets confusing so I’m glad you appreciated some of my advice. Kit is a lot cheaper for summer so better to get started now. Then come winter you’ll have a bit more experience and you may spend on the winter essentials nearer the time.
Must've missed this one, Al. Hugely enjoyable as always. Cannot believe that although I've been camping for years the beanie cap over the eyes idea has never even occurred to me! 😀Love my trekker chair. Only just recently acquired. That's gonna make such a huge difference when the long nights arrive. Totally agree with you about the down jacket. I've never worn mine to actually walk in but it's a godsend when relaxing at the end of the day; just to complete the "dunlop tyre man" look I've got the matching trousers for winter. Best wishes.
I’d love a Blue to join me on my adventures. So well trained with the deer. What a stunning day, I’ve been there a couple of times in the winter. Mountain hiking brings so such enormous beauty it can bring you to tears.
Now then Bushman been following your channel - loving the quality of the filming and great chitter chatter too. I have an awesome 14yr old Terra nova ultra quazar 2 man and it’s so good in all conditions it can take up a bit of room in the pack though so I have been impressed to see the more wintery conditions you have had your fjallraven abisko lite 1 tent out in - I have bit the bullet and ordered one now to slim down my solo pack size a touch - cheers for your videos they have helped me work on my super light efforts 👍👍
You’ll love the tent and won’t be disappointed! Fjallraven are an awesome high quality brand and as said will slim down your pack. I’m glad I’ve helped you choose your tent! Enjoy it!
Good morning flower. Top man. A extremely informative video. You have such an infectious enthusiasm. You are a inspiration to all. Take care, keep safe and keep smiling. Cheers.Pete.
Thank you so much, put a huge smile on my face. Can't wait to get out there again and you've boosted my confidence for a hike instead of camping near the car. I hope I get to see a unicorn too ...
Well NZ is a lovely place to get out and enjoy it all. My brother lives on the South Island so I’ve explored some beautiful parts of it. Next time I go I’ll take my tent and wild camp😬. My aim with my videos is to inspire others to get out and enjoy it all so it’s nice to get the feedback 😊. Thanks Amy.
Great video. At the moment I am slowly gathering my gear. (Slowly because I am an OAP and must watch my expences.) because early next year I want to do a 400 kilometer hike in the Netherlands. It's gonna be a challenge because wild camping is not allowed here, but there are many places where I would give it a try wthout getting caught. I'll keep you informed.
Wow sounds awesome and great to have an adventure to prepare for. You’ll have to buy lightweight gear with a smaller pack size ideally. I’m sure you’ll be able to be stealth enough to camp out. Just don’t buy a bright coloured tent! Although a red tent in a Poppy field🤷🏻♂️😂😂😂
Another great video mate. I'm hoping to get out this week for an overnight wild camp in the Lakes. Along with my Jetboil I also carry a couple of flameless ration heaters which are brilliant for boil in the bag food and can also double as a hand warmer in the colder nights. I also carry 2 hats, 1 beanie for cold days/nights and 1 baseball cap to keep the sun off the face.
Sound advice there. Visited Green Bothy a while back with two work colleagues one ex forces like myself so we both had a good idea on things. The other apparently a camping expert!!! :-/ Was October so freezing we had our Army Arctic sleeping bags (weight of a small car) lol the expert...I couldn't believe it!!! A £9.99 B&M sleeping bag and not much else needles to say he froze....never been invited out to play since...cracking weekend all the same...for me anyway ;-)
I remember wild camping (or just sleeping rough 😀)at angle tarn in 1996. Didn’t see a soul but in subsequent years it’s been a bit of a magnet for people
Thanks for the information about how to start out I’ll be trying my new tent out in my friends back garden and then I’ll see if I can do it on my own and then I’ll venture out further afield. I’m doing this because I have mental health problems. But it’s going to get out and make me feel better. You and blue are my friends and my inspiration. Thank you for the great information it’s great to have some ideas and give me the inspiration to get out and about thanks John
Great vid! I’m off on my first solo wild camp in 2 weeks also having done a lot of walks but not stayed out on my own yet. Really hope I get the weather you have there. Thanks for the footage and il be adding one of them shovels to my kit 😂
I loved the video. I would add a tip of always checking the weather forecast before leaving on a trip. This includes up country if travelling near rivers or caving etc.
As usual brilliant video , shame all those hikers over the Christmas period That the lakes mountain rescue had to go and find did not watch it.that got lost no map not knowing where they were
Not sure about drinking alcohol but I'd definitely be drinking tea your video's are absolutely fantastic I've now kept all your video's in to my library on my phone as you'll always be there if I need information about camping as I do a fair bit of rambling
BEST BEGINNER GUIDE I've watched. Great video and great tips. Starting my wild camping adventures this year hopefully in the next few weeks. Angle Tarn is now 100% on my list of camp spots. Thanks
I hope you have an amazing time. Angle tarn is a great one as there are lots of pitches for a tent. Just leave no trace! And make sure you promote that too to anyone else! Enjoy!
Great video, and great advice................... nice to see you encouraged some other guy to attempt a cool down in the tarn! Like you say 'Get Out' there! Looking to purchase a Fjallraven Abisko Lite 1 or Fjallraven Abisko Lite 2.2 Not sure which. I have a Thermarest Quest -18C Long which gives me plenty of length and width (I toss and turn in my sleep, and this bag does not move with me, it is great and really warm in all conditions); added to that I have Exped Dura 8r long mat with a Dulux Sea to Summit pillow. Like you stated 'Buy cheap and buy twice (or more). My gear will last for years and eventualy through use will cost pennies per use over the years. Most of my mountain, hill, walking clothes I look out for Ebay (i.e. Mountain Equipment, Rab, Montane) for next to new and get up for around a third of the price and sometimes a lot less. If the gear needs re water proofing then I use a special nik wax wash and spray. Works out a lot cheaper and top gear.
I’m a total gear bargain hunter too. I always shop on eBay and in the sales and most of my kit has been bought cheap even though it’s quite high end stuff👍👍👍
Hi Bushman and Blue Trev here... some great advice...I might just have a go at wildcamping??? Then again maybe not... backpack would have to be as big as my car. Keep up the good work. Cheers
Some excellent advice..HOWEVER..if you are in an isolated location and you rely on 'down ' for insulation and it gets wet ..from sweat or rain ..it is less than useless and takes days to dry..
Just don’t get it wet. I never have in all my years although if I was on the programme ‘alone’ I’d consider synthetic being out for a long period of time.
Just do it! You’ll go once and then realise it’s so easy and brilliant for the soul. Just pack a bag ready then just have f##k it moment and just go do it somewhere local. Thanks mate.
Well Al, proper enjoyed watching this video. Only just started watching your channel after seeing you camp out with Chris from MCM. Enjoying your content and Blue is damutznutz proper well behaved. Anyway back to the video. Learnt a lot from this video. Haven't Wild camped yet but have been buying bits as and when I can. I live 300 miles from the Lakes but do manage to get up there to family camp once a year which is better than nothing. Thanks again mate and keep up the good work. May even bump in to you on my first Wild camp 👍
Thanks Arron! A warm welcome to my channel and I’m glad already you are getting something from it. The the lakes are lovely for wild camps but wild camping wherever actually gives you such a lovely feeling and connection with the outdoors. Enjoy!
Before going to Formula Student last year, I took my tent and camped in the garden overnight. It was really good weather and went perfectly. I'm planning on getting my tent from home and camping near uni, I have a plan to camp overnight up or nearby Pen Y Fan (maybe next to Llyn Cwm Llwch as it's more sheltered) but first I'm going to try an overnight camp nearby where I'm living to make sure my kit keeps me warm enough and tent works (and the stove). I'd rather find out something doesn't work whilst I'm 10 mins walk from my room instead of 2-4 hours from the nearest town.
Mate I’m so sorry! I know how hard that is. Blue is my best friend and I totally understand the bond you get with a dog. I’m sure you have many fond memories. Take care Al
Hello buddy and just stumbled across your video as I’m looking to go trout fishing this year and angle tarn is one place I would love to go to …. I’m no hiking guru or anything and along way behind you when it comes to fitness but this place would be one of my “ before I die “ must places to go to … it looks stunning and some great advice watching this. I would only go for the day and be back before dark … is patterdale the place to park and how long for a walk for a novice ??? Cheers buddy and any info would be great and now guna watch some more of your stuff. Just subbed too 😎😎👍👍😄😄
Great video & some great advice & tips for beginners, it's a shame I didn't get interested in wild camping a few years back my collie is now nearly 14 & riddled with arthritis so wouldn't manage it we could have had a few adventures, keep up the good work.
Good video 👍 I'm considering Car Camping next spring if I Can save up enough funds to buy one but bought a gas stove so when my cooking pot hopefully comes this week I'll boil up some pasta with it and test it out!! Thanks for an interesting video loved the contriside
Excellent! Glad you can take something from it. I’m hoping to inspire others to get out in it all, enjoy it safely and look after our countryside. Thanks.
Really enjoyed your vlog. I found it refreshing that you were happy to share the experience with other campers. It’s the simple stuff that really makes us all happy.
Most people outdoors are like minded and happy so I always enjoy talking to others. Wild camping is as simple as you get which just makes it so relaxing and mind clearing. I love it!
Brilliant video , shame all those walkers over Christmas did not watch it, that the lakes mountain rescue had to find .Some had not the correct equipment and no map etc did not know there they were lucky no lives were lost .Hope some see this and take note of the good advice you give .
Good advice mate. Had my first wild camp there, was a freezing february night, sleeping bag and mat weren't up to scratch, slept in all my clothes, still loved it though ha. Beautiful place.
Hey, good job on the pillow but you should have mentioed the camp chair - a decent chair really helps! Lastly to really impress the ladies - SPICES take spices when cooking, you'll be very popular if you have some. Lastly, if you ever forget cutlery, you'll only do that once ! :-)
I find that one of the things that a lot of campers always forget to pack is a rubbish bag! This can be as simple as a small plastic bag to put all your wrappers , drink cartons , food bags toilet paper, beer cans etc & can easily be strapped to outside of the rucksack. This is a reason i believe that so many 'dipsticks' leave rubbish cos they have no rubbish bag with them.
B&B some good points all the kit has its place for ones comfort. I have 2 Foxes who come along on my vlogs and that gets a tad tricky. Might see you in them hills.
Fantastic video, felt like I was there for the experience, and being less than half hour from the lake District I've got no excuse not to get out there on foot and try proper wild camping! 👌
I do occasionally think about that so I don’t date the message and generally say ‘back tomorrow, meaning you could be back at anytime like any other vehicle. I’m more bothered about keeping locals happy so leaving your number is safest. Thieves suck!!!
Hi feom Australia. Usually National Parks have signs warning not to leave any valueables in the car to temp theiving. And even modern cars can do with a good old steering lock to put off theives as well. Wheel clamps aren't expensive and I have been considering this if I would have to leave the car remote or more than a day.
Great vid Im venturing out here for my first lake district wild camp tomorrow over all quietly confident, only thing that worries me is finding a place to park but I guess thats all part of it.
Enjoy it! It’s an amazing place and plenty of places to pitch a tent. Worst case for parking you’ll have an extra mile or two to walk but you can cope with that.
@@BUSHMANandBLUE Well I completed my first lake district wild camp at angle tarn, got a little off track on the way up not being sure what path to follow but it was worth it , completely loved the views when I got there and the weather was clear and sunny the whole time, loved it im hooked for life. Following morning my legs where really bad and it was hard going to walk back down took 5 days before my legs where back to normal .
This was an absolute top guide for a beginner wildcamper. Thanks for the great advice. I'll start easy with an overnighter, but this spot is definitely on my list now! (no trace ninja style)
Terrific video, and WHAT a day to be out in the Lakes. That was a joy to watch. I’m just beginning my wild camping journey (I’m on Dartmoor) and this video was great. Thank you! Unfortunately, Dick has also been to Dartmoor and bought their friends 😡 Good effort on the fell race too!
Thank you so much Paul! I wish you all the best with your wild camping adventures. You’ll love it and feel the physical and mental health benefits straight away. Dick needs some education!
Recently subscribed and loving your content Al. I've been doing the wild camping and long distance walking stuff for a while now and will be back in the Lakes in Jan 2022 ...Lockdown permitting !!. I've only one question and that relates to camera gear ! Essentially which one as the audio is still so good even when you’re battling extreme windy conditions !! Keep up the good work and teaching the new folks the Leave No Trace mantra it's so important 👍👍
Thanks Paul I’m glad you are on board and getting out there yourself 👊. For the first about 25 videos I used my iPhone but now I generally use a GoPro. All I’ve done is make a fluffy dead cat to stick over the mic. Ideally I will buy a decent mic but they cost a lot and I’ve other priorities with money. 👍👍👍
@@BUSHMANandBLUE Which one do you have ? I've moved on to a DJI pocket with wireless mic but not tested to your comfort levels yet ! I've got a big video of my Cape Wrath trail from May and loads of awesome wildcamps along the way to do when I pull my finger out 😄... wish I'd taken my dog for company like Blue !
“Only thing you can leave here is a bad mood” absolutely love that
Oh yes I forgot about that but definitely 👍👍👍
You are absolutely wiping the floor with every other UK TH-cam channel... You and Blue are going to be HUGE on TH-cam and rightly so! Keep the videos coming... Love em 👍

a tip : you can watch movies at KaldroStream. Been using it for watching loads of movies these days.
@Brecken Reginald definitely, been watching on kaldroStream for since december myself :)

How can people give this a thumbs down ? A brilliant guide for the first timer .
Thanks John! I tried to keep it no nonsense but real. I just hope people can at least take something from it. I guess the thumbs down is because they’ve never seen a unicorn and therefore don’t believe. 😂
Thats the no nonsense Tyke in you just like myself ,can't stand pretentious people with egos where in Yorkshire ? I was born in Middlesbrough but have lived in Inverness for the last 50 years, 10 minute walk and I am in the back of beyond !

A fantastic video really good advice for everyone not just beginner
Oh thanks. I was hoping everyone would at least get one tip from it.
This has been one of my favourite vids so far, and I've watched loads of different people. Well done keep up the good work, ill be tuning in.
Oh good. Your feedback definitely helps knowing I’m doing the right thing. Loads more to come!
First class, thanks for all your information, it will get used 👍🏻👍🏻
I've been wild camping now for over 40 years and still found your video inspiring. Excellent filming and editing. Totally sound, comprehensive advice presented in a carefully considered way. Testing gear first in a safe environment is such crucial advice. I would also advise familiarising oneself with, for example, zips and draw cords on jackets (while standing in a shower!). Also, take a suitably sized bottle to pee in at night, especially if it's raining, and a cloth in case of spills! A microfiber towel is very useful to remove condensation from the fly inner, as well as for getting dry after tarn swims.

Cheers Al. Hopefully it will assist a few more people to enjoy their lives that little bit more👊👍
Hi, yes it may be obvious and common sense to most but out of the hundreds of wild camping TH-cam videos I have seen, you are the first one to talk about "The morning ritual" so well done you.
As always, you and Blue have been a brilliant watch.

Yes it’s not really talked about but hopefully people use common sense and respect the earth😉👍👍👍

Soon the ‘fly camping’ lot will be back doing their thing elsewhere but if it continues I’d be happy with very hefty fines or more importantly community service by cleaning our National parks.
Thanks for your message.

@@BUSHMANandBLUE No worries mate ... we can't let them spoil it ... will be back out in two weeks on Credigon and looking for a little spot for a pitch no doubt ... cheers bud
I'm not a beginner at wild camping but there is always room for learning and revisiting the basics. I really enjoyed this. Subbed. 🤠✌️
Welcome mate! Enjoy the rest of my adventures and your own. I’m glad you’re the type that is open to learning. There’s too many know all’s!!!
All the best
Al
@@BUSHMANandBLUE haha you'll always find those types in anything lol. If we don't listen we won't learn. 🤠✌️
If I ever start some sort of forum you’ll be straight invited! 👍👍👍
Great tips! You are the second person on TH-cam lately that says, familiarize yourself with a map. Don't rely on your phone. Additionally, know how to use a compass. Thanks for the tips!
I watched your videos many times this one actually I watched before when I had my old phone it didn't transfer my information from TH-cam to this phone. I'm glad you watched it because I learned so much from you I'm 63 years old and I am retired I just enjoy your adventures and all the efforts you put into it especially in Scotland when you're up on that spine of the mountain in what you could have just felt either side at any time. You are a great inspiration to me as many other bushcrafters are as well I watch many hours of other bushcrafters and hikers. I have learned many things about England camping areas such as Dartmoor the lake district the Wainwright trails and Wales. As you say be safe leave no Trace you don't bite up more than you can chew LOL keep up the great work I will continue to watch your videos religiously! Your friend everything be safe and leave no Trace
Thanks Dave much appreciated 👊. I like helping people out and inspiring them. I think everyone can learn at least one thing from everyone out there👍
the mozzies will be loving that tent lamp haha deffo a few coils needed too for the summer maybe
great video mate!!
Brilliant video mate and thanks for the advice I was looking to go up to foggy mountains but I’m not going to risk it now I’m just going to go to a small and easy one thanks again
Thanks my friend. I love ve the respect you have for our planet. Your humble and you seem to realize that mother nature is alpha and we are just living in it and need to respect Her! Thank you for sharing your knowledge and adventures! Take care friend.
It’s exactly that👊👌
Thanks very much for this. I'm returning to wild camping after years away so I wanted a refresher. - Great video mate so thanks . One thing I've always taken in gaffer tape in my kit. Great for mending most bits of kit and body parts from cuts to strengthening ankles after a sprain (and I'm sure it would help out with runners nips as well, as long as you put something under the tender bit lol) Thanks again mate, really enjoyed it.
Definitely! I always have insulation tape to wrap up any cuts but a proper duct tape is better for tent and jacket repairs.
Thanks Dave!
i cant do a thumbs up for the new guys so i will do it in writing hope they have many great wild camps in the future i remember my first wild camp i was alone couldn't find a place to camp and ended up pitching my tent in the thickest fog i have ever seen in total darkness i did do tons of research before so i did have the right gear and a head torch it was an adventure and i had tons of fun with it i think i was like 13 at the time so many years ago and now i camped in all conditions all over the world .... if you ask me any adventure is a good adventure just go out and enjoy nature and enjoy the world its gonna make you love it more ...... another good videos from you keep up the good work ...... best regards from scandinavia
You learn so quickly over those first few camps so worth the experience 😉👍
I'm pleased you mention Learning Curves; Iv Wild Camped since the age of 14yrs old, now at 60yrs of age, I have never understood why manufacturers still wind test their tents door facing the wind? I never ever pitch door into the wind & never known anyone that would. You should do a Video of how people can get blown off the side of Mountains if they get the wrong info.
I also pack the tent away with the back corner pegging point showing, this is for heavy storm force winds, tent bag tide to Bergen or self, then before the tent comes out of the bag, I put a peg through that back pegging point then into the ground, tent still in the bag. I then ready the Poles, then I take the tent from bag letting it face itself down the wind anchoring all the points before I put the poles in & guyed out. & Yes, Leave no trace. Great Videos, Thank You.
Thanks for your notions 👊👊👊
Just getting some gear together to start wild camping. This is a superb video.
Thanks for the hints on the little discussed toilet arrangements 👍
Glad I could help by out with your toilet duties 😂
Thank you for some no nonsense advice. I am gradually getting kit together!
There are so many opinions out there for wild camping that it gets confusing so I’m glad you appreciated some of my advice. Kit is a lot cheaper for summer so better to get started now. Then come winter you’ll have a bit more experience and you may spend on the winter essentials nearer the time.
Must've missed this one, Al. Hugely enjoyable as always. Cannot believe that although I've been camping for years the beanie cap over the eyes idea has never even occurred to me! 😀Love my trekker chair. Only just recently acquired. That's gonna make such a huge difference when the long nights arrive. Totally agree with you about the down jacket. I've never worn mine to actually walk in but it's a godsend when relaxing at the end of the day; just to complete the "dunlop tyre man" look I've got the matching trousers for winter.
Best wishes.
The trousers are a dream in winter👌. I always think that you can learn something off everyone 👍
What a stunning morning that looked! Perfect conditions😃..great video again, and the deer, unreal! Top job🤘
Cheers Paul! It was actually a perfect camp out one that I’ll always remember. 😬
Been addicted to watching your Vids, Mate; I just bought my 2nd tent for a solo wild camp.
I’m glad you’re enjoying it! Get that tent used👊
You are awesome mate , thanks for the tips . Going camping with my boys in the summer for the first time. Can’t wait 👍🏼
Brilliant enjoy it. They will definitely love it👊
I’d love a Blue to join me on my adventures. So well trained with the deer. What a stunning day, I’ve been there a couple of times in the winter. Mountain hiking brings so such enormous beauty it can bring you to tears.
I agree you can feel so exhilarated and in the moment. I live for it! Cheers pal
Im over the moon with your advice cheers Allen & blue
Good stuff. 👍
Now then Bushman been following your channel - loving the quality of the filming and great chitter chatter too. I have an awesome 14yr old Terra nova ultra quazar 2 man and it’s so good in all conditions it can take up a bit of room in the pack though so I have been impressed to see the more wintery conditions you have had your fjallraven abisko lite 1 tent out in - I have bit the bullet and ordered one now to slim down my solo pack size a touch - cheers for your videos they have helped me work on my super light efforts 👍👍
You’ll love the tent and won’t be disappointed! Fjallraven are an awesome high quality brand and as said will slim down your pack. I’m glad I’ve helped you choose your tent!
Enjoy it!
Good morning flower.
Top man. A extremely informative video. You have such an infectious enthusiasm.
You are a inspiration to all.
Take care, keep safe and keep smiling. Cheers.Pete.
Thanks Pete I’m glad you appreciate it. I’ll definitely keep smiling😬👍
Thank you so much, put a huge smile on my face. Can't wait to get out there again and you've boosted my confidence for a hike instead of camping near the car. I hope I get to see a unicorn too ...
😂😂😂 definitely get out to see the unicorns 👌
Thanks for making this video. I live in New Zealand and want to start getting into nature and go camping more. Thanks :)
Well NZ is a lovely place to get out and enjoy it all. My brother lives on the South Island so I’ve explored some beautiful parts of it. Next time I go I’ll take my tent and wild camp😬. My aim with my videos is to inspire others to get out and enjoy it all so it’s nice to get the feedback 😊.
Thanks Amy.
Great video. At the moment I am slowly gathering my gear. (Slowly because I am an OAP and must watch my expences.) because early next year I want to do a 400 kilometer hike in the Netherlands. It's gonna be a challenge because wild camping is not allowed here, but there are many places where I would give it a try wthout getting caught. I'll keep you informed.
Wow sounds awesome and great to have an adventure to prepare for. You’ll have to buy lightweight gear with a smaller pack size ideally. I’m sure you’ll be able to be stealth enough to camp out. Just don’t buy a bright coloured tent! Although a red tent in a Poppy field🤷🏻♂️😂😂😂
Amazing video - my wife and I love watching you & blue. We have a aussie shepherd who loves watching too.
Cool! I’m glad you’re enjoying my channel 😊
Another great video mate.
I'm hoping to get out this week for an overnight wild camp in the Lakes. Along with my Jetboil I also carry a couple of flameless ration heaters which are brilliant for boil in the bag food and can also double as a hand warmer in the colder nights. I also carry 2 hats, 1 beanie for cold days/nights and 1 baseball cap to keep the sun off the face.
Enjoy it! I’m hoping to be in the lakes over the weekend. It looks dry and still!
Very Nice.Enjoyed it Very Much. 😊😊😊
Thank you! There will always be more videos to come!
Sound advice there. Visited Green Bothy a while back with two work colleagues one ex forces like myself so we both had a good idea on things. The other apparently a camping expert!!! :-/ Was October so freezing we had our Army Arctic sleeping bags (weight of a small car) lol the expert...I couldn't believe it!!! A £9.99 B&M sleeping bag and not much else needles to say he froze....never been invited out to play since...cracking weekend all the same...for me anyway ;-)
Great memories though😂. I love the people who think they know everything. It’s a constant learning curve!
@@BUSHMANandBLUE 55 and still learning :-)
10 out of 10 for this video! Thank you for this informative video. I can't wait to go wild camping. What an amazing place to camp.
Thanks mate. Get some gear together and get out in some good weather👌
The deer were beautiful. What a moment.
Lucky 😬😬😬
Discovered your channel by complete accident. Absolutely not sorry! Big ups to you and your Dad (what a true man!) , and Blue. Subbed and liked
Welcome! I hope you enjoy my videos! My dad is an amazing guy!
Thanks Ash.
I remember wild camping (or just sleeping rough 😀)at angle tarn in 1996. Didn’t see a soul but in subsequent years it’s been a bit of a magnet for people
Your right it gets busy. 15 tents last time I was up there. Good group though.
Thanks for the information about how to start out I’ll be trying my new tent out in my friends back garden and then I’ll see if I can do it on my own and then I’ll venture out further afield. I’m doing this because I have mental health problems. But it’s going to get out and make me feel better. You and blue are my friends and my inspiration. Thank you for the great information it’s great to have some ideas and give me the inspiration to get out and about thanks John
Brilliant mate 👊. It will be a very positive hobby to enjoy. Good luck with it all 👍👍👍
Great vid! I’m off on my first solo wild camp in 2 weeks also having done a lot of walks but not stayed out on my own yet. Really hope I get the weather you have there. Thanks for the footage and il be adding one of them shovels to my kit 😂
I hope you have an awesome first night out! You’ll love it and whatever the weather you’ll learn something from the experience! Enjoy!
I loved the video. I would add a tip of always checking the weather forecast before leaving on a trip. This includes up country if travelling near rivers or caving etc.
Yes I always check and always take kit to suit worse than predicted. It’s often wrong. 👍
As usual brilliant video , shame all those hikers over the Christmas period That the lakes mountain rescue had to go and find did not watch it.that got lost no map not knowing where they were
Not sure about drinking alcohol but I'd definitely be drinking tea your video's are absolutely fantastic I've now kept all your video's in to my library on my phone as you'll always be there if I need information about camping as I do a fair bit of rambling
Sorry seemed to have missed this message.
Thank you!!! I hope to help people out at much as possible. Keep getting outside!
Well done. I feel like I have been on the wild camp. Well done.
Glad you liked it. I always hope that people feel like they have been there with me. 👍
Thank you for posting !!! AND the gear list ! Still putting my first time solo kit together.
Cheers from the USA !
H.
I’m glad you appreciate it. Definitely get out soon and test the kit out! You’ll love it.
Brilliant vid. Exactly what I was looking for. Thank you
Good mate. Hopefully it helps a little👍👍👍
BEST BEGINNER GUIDE I've watched. Great video and great tips. Starting my wild camping adventures this year hopefully in the next few weeks. Angle Tarn is now 100% on my list of camp spots. Thanks
I hope you have an amazing time. Angle tarn is a great one as there are lots of pitches for a tent. Just leave no trace! And make sure you promote that too to anyone else! Enjoy!
Great video, and great advice................... nice to see you encouraged some other guy to attempt a cool down in the tarn! Like you say 'Get Out' there! Looking to purchase a Fjallraven Abisko Lite 1 or Fjallraven Abisko Lite 2.2 Not sure which. I have a Thermarest Quest -18C Long which gives me plenty of length and width (I toss and turn in my sleep, and this bag does not move with me, it is great and really warm in all conditions); added to that I have Exped Dura 8r long mat with a Dulux Sea to Summit pillow. Like you stated 'Buy cheap and buy twice (or more). My gear will last for years and eventualy through use will cost pennies per use over the years. Most of my mountain, hill, walking clothes I look out for Ebay (i.e. Mountain Equipment, Rab, Montane) for next to new and get up for around a third of the price and sometimes a lot less. If the gear needs re water proofing then I use a special nik wax wash and spray. Works out a lot cheaper and top gear.
I’m a total gear bargain hunter too. I always shop on eBay and in the sales and most of my kit has been bought cheap even though it’s quite high end stuff👍👍👍
Very informative thanks, The go to You tube channel ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Thanks mate! I need everyone to think that👊
Hi Bushman and Blue Trev here... some great advice...I might just have a go at wildcamping??? Then again maybe not... backpack would have to be as big as my car. Keep up the good work. Cheers
😂 that was a cold but tranquil camp that definitely promotes wild camping. There are one wet horrible days in between😂😂😂
Great place to camp. Camped there after seeing you and blue near high raise about three weeks ago..
Some good sound advice. Keep making the videos
Ace! I’m glad I’m helping people get outside and enjoy it all!
Thanks mate say hi anytime!
Absolutely fantastic video. Gonna use these tips when I go on my first wild camping trip this year! Maybe add a goose?!
😂 the goose is necessary 👍
Some excellent advice..HOWEVER..if you are in an isolated location and you rely on 'down ' for insulation and it gets wet ..from sweat or rain ..it is less than useless and takes days to dry..
Just don’t get it wet. I never have in all my years although if I was on the programme ‘alone’ I’d consider synthetic being out for a long period of time.
Superb video Al, many thanks.
I keep putting off Wild Camping, hopefully this will give me the kick up the a### I need. Cheers
Just do it! You’ll go once and then realise it’s so easy and brilliant for the soul. Just pack a bag ready then just have f##k it moment and just go do it somewhere local.
Thanks mate.
Well Al, proper enjoyed watching this video. Only just started watching your channel after seeing you camp out with Chris from MCM. Enjoying your content and Blue is damutznutz proper well behaved. Anyway back to the video. Learnt a lot from this video. Haven't Wild camped yet but have been buying bits as and when I can. I live 300 miles from the Lakes but do manage to get up there to family camp once a year which is better than nothing. Thanks again mate and keep up the good work. May even bump in to you on my first Wild camp 👍
Thanks Arron! A warm welcome to my channel and I’m glad already you are getting something from it. The the lakes are lovely for wild camps but wild camping wherever actually gives you such a lovely feeling and connection with the outdoors.
Enjoy!
Before going to Formula Student last year, I took my tent and camped in the garden overnight. It was really good weather and went perfectly. I'm planning on getting my tent from home and camping near uni, I have a plan to camp overnight up or nearby Pen Y Fan (maybe next to Llyn Cwm Llwch as it's more sheltered) but first I'm going to try an overnight camp nearby where I'm living to make sure my kit keeps me warm enough and tent works (and the stove). I'd rather find out something doesn't work whilst I'm 10 mins walk from my room instead of 2-4 hours from the nearest town.
I have a pair of walking trousers but I'm planning on also getting some walking trousers which can become a pair of shorts via a zipper.
That’s exactly it! Always test your kit in relative safety. Enjoy it mate👊
Mega video, I'm an experienced wild camper and serving soldier , yet still learned some stuff
Brilliant! I honestly think you can get tips from anyone. There are too many people who preach and are know it all’s. Thanks mate!
@@BUSHMANandBLUE lost my dog today, so was actually in tears watching you play with Blue, he's a beautiful soul
Mate I’m so sorry! I know how hard that is. Blue is my best friend and I totally understand the bond you get with a dog. I’m sure you have many fond memories.
Take care
Al
Brilliant video and sound advice - many thanks!
Absolutely love your videos, keep up the great work! You've convinced me to buy the abisko 1 in the near future.
It’s a great tent and you won’t be disappointed. I’m actually laid in it now in the Yorkshire Dales!
Planning to pick this location hopefully as my 2nd wild camp or probably my 1st soon.
It’s a decent place. Parking isn’t great though. Enjoy 👊
you covered everything! i would only advise to take your time on the climb if youre not used to it, its not a race
Yes definitely at your own pace. Thanks mate👊
Hello buddy and just stumbled across your video as I’m looking to go trout fishing this year and angle tarn is one place I would love to go to …. I’m no hiking guru or anything and along way behind you when it comes to fitness but this place would be one of my “ before I die “ must places to go to … it looks stunning and some great advice watching this. I would only go for the day and be back before dark … is patterdale the place to park and how long for a walk for a novice ??? Cheers buddy and any info would be great and now guna watch some more of your stuff. Just subbed too 😎😎👍👍😄😄
Invaluable info for a complete noob like myself. Great video Bushman. Many thanks.
Great I’m here to help the noobs! 😂 really glad that you’ll take something from it. 😬
Loved this. Heading out for my first wild camp (Dartmoor) this weekend - thanks for the tips! :)
Brilliant Sophie! I hope your camp went well and you are hooked and excited for the next one👍👍👍
Great video & some great advice & tips for beginners, it's a shame I didn't get interested in wild camping a few years back my collie is now nearly 14 & riddled with arthritis so wouldn't manage it we could have had a few adventures, keep up the good work.
Collies are a lovely companion and I’m sure you’ve enjoyed yours over the years. Thanks for the feedback.
Good video 👍 I'm considering Car Camping next spring if I Can save up enough funds to buy one but bought a gas stove so when my cooking pot hopefully comes this week I'll boil up some pasta with it and test it out!! Thanks for an interesting video loved the contriside
Just slowly build your kit up just prioritising the the essentials. You’ll love it!
Smashed it, really informative, seen loads of guides but still learnt things from this!
Excellent! Glad you can take something from it. I’m hoping to inspire others to get out in it all, enjoy it safely and look after our countryside.
Thanks.
Good sound advise, your kit is nearly identical to mine👍. Angle Tarn is lovely but as as you say to many Dicks camp there for me. LEAVE NO TRACE
Thanks Steve. Just trying to influence people to be conscientious and not ‘dicks’ 😂
Great video! Just found your channel, this was really informative
Welcome! I hope you enjoy the rest of my videos. Thanks! 😊😬
@@BUSHMANandBLUE I’ll 100% be sticking around. Attempting to get into walking and eventually wild camping at some point
I’m sure you’ll gain plenty of knowledge from my channel to help you out but mainly some inspiration to just get out and have a go! You’ll love it.
Really enjoyed your vlog. I found it refreshing that you were happy to share the experience with other campers. It’s the simple stuff that really makes us all happy.
Most people outdoors are like minded and happy so I always enjoy talking to others. Wild camping is as simple as you get which just makes it so relaxing and mind clearing. I love it!
@@BUSHMANandBLUE I get it completely.
Brilliant video , shame all those walkers over Christmas did not watch it, that the lakes mountain rescue had to find .Some had not the correct equipment and no map etc did not know there they were lucky no lives were lost .Hope some see this and take note of the good advice you give .
Cheers mate. Yes many go out underprepared and not mountain savvy. 👍👍👍
Another cracking film.. you do such a great job with the filming and capturing the atmosphere.. you had some beautiful weather and light. Great job 😃
Thanks Nick! Honestly it was actually perfect! The two lads I met were a perfect attribute to the video too and they loved every minute.
Great stuff, a roll of cling films handy, one can wrap it round ye legs ect, be good.
Thanks mate. 👊
great aduce another first is hallen fell, 20 ,insin n out
Cheers pal!
Good advice mate. Had my first wild camp there, was a freezing february night, sleeping bag and mat weren't up to scratch, slept in all my clothes, still loved it though ha. Beautiful place.
You learn quickly what kit works and mainly what doesn’t!😂
Hey, good job on the pillow but you should have mentioed the camp chair - a decent chair really helps! Lastly to really impress the ladies - SPICES take spices when cooking, you'll be very popular if you have some. Lastly, if you ever forget cutlery, you'll only do that once ! :-)
I like carrying a chair but really it’s a luxury item.
I find that one of the things that a lot of campers always forget to pack is a rubbish bag! This can be as simple as a small plastic bag to put all your wrappers , drink cartons , food bags toilet paper, beer cans etc & can easily be strapped to outside of the rucksack. This is a reason i believe that so many 'dipsticks' leave rubbish cos they have no rubbish bag with them.
Yes and pure laziness and thoughtlessness! It’s not hard 🤷🏻♂️👍👍👍
B&B some good points all the kit has its place for ones comfort. I have 2 Foxes who come along on my vlogs and that gets a tad tricky. Might see you in them hills.
Thanks! It would be a pleasure to meet you. Always come say hi!
Awesome that you have Canadian geese up in the UK.
Yes they always pass through. 👍👍👍
Fantastic video, felt like I was there for the experience, and being less than half hour from the lake District I've got no excuse not to get out there on foot and try proper wild camping! 👌
Definitely get to the lakes. Loads of amazing places to walk👍👍👍
Very good advice good video
Apologies if you've answered this before but what is the fold up mat you have that turns into a chair, it looks awesome. Thanks, great video.
The thermarest trekker chair as featured in many of my videos 👍👍👍
@@BUSHMANandBLUE Nice one. Thanks. Happy camping
Absolutely do not leave a note in the car window, a perfect invite to thieves.
I do occasionally think about that so I don’t date the message and generally say ‘back tomorrow, meaning you could be back at anytime like any other vehicle. I’m more bothered about keeping locals happy so leaving your number is safest. Thieves suck!!!
Hi feom Australia. Usually National Parks have signs warning not to leave any valueables in the car to temp theiving. And even modern cars can do with a good old steering lock to put off theives as well. Wheel clamps aren't expensive and I have been considering this if I would have to leave the car remote or more than a day.
Hi to Australia! Probably my farthest away watcher! I’ve never had a problem but these thieves need their hands chopping off 😂.
@@BUSHMANandBLUE I love watching colder places. Had to smile when you said it was a warm 22'. That is a daytime winter temperature here at the moment!
😂😂😂
Great vid Im venturing out here for my first lake district wild camp tomorrow over all quietly confident, only thing that worries me is finding a place to park but I guess thats all part of it.
Enjoy it! It’s an amazing place and plenty of places to pitch a tent. Worst case for parking you’ll have an extra mile or two to walk but you can cope with that.
@@BUSHMANandBLUE Well I completed my first lake district wild camp at angle tarn, got a little off track on the way up not being sure what path to follow but it was worth it , completely loved the views when I got there and the weather was clear and sunny the whole time, loved it im hooked for life. Following morning my legs where really bad and it was hard going to walk back down took 5 days before my legs where back to normal .
Brill! I’m so glad you did it and now you are hooked! Well done and enjoy the rest of your future camps. 👍👍👍👍👍👍
This was an absolute top guide for a beginner wildcamper. Thanks for the great advice. I'll start easy with an overnighter, but this spot is definitely on my list now! (no trace ninja style)
Thank you I’m glad you’ll take something from it and no trace ninja style will always give you good karma!
Terrific video, and WHAT a day to be out in the Lakes. That was a joy to watch. I’m just beginning my wild camping journey (I’m on Dartmoor) and this video was great. Thank you! Unfortunately, Dick has also been to Dartmoor and bought their friends 😡 Good effort on the fell race too!
Thank you so much Paul! I wish you all the best with your wild camping adventures. You’ll love it and feel the physical and mental health benefits straight away. Dick needs some education!
This was great, thank you! Informative, inspiring, and beautiful shots.
😊 exactly what I’m wanting to achieve! I’m glad it helped you.
Recently subscribed and loving your content Al. I've been doing the wild camping and long distance walking stuff for a while now and will be back in the Lakes in Jan 2022 ...Lockdown permitting !!. I've only one question and that relates to camera gear ! Essentially which one as the audio is still so good even when you’re battling extreme windy conditions !! Keep up the good work and teaching the new folks the Leave No Trace mantra it's so important 👍👍
Thanks Paul I’m glad you are on board and getting out there yourself 👊. For the first about 25 videos I used my iPhone but now I generally use a GoPro. All I’ve done is make a fluffy dead cat to stick over the mic. Ideally I will buy a decent mic but they cost a lot and I’ve other priorities with money. 👍👍👍
@@BUSHMANandBLUE Which one do you have ? I've moved on to a DJI pocket with wireless mic but not tested to your comfort levels yet ! I've got a big video of my Cape Wrath trail from May and loads of awesome wildcamps along the way to do when I pull my finger out 😄... wish I'd taken my dog for company like Blue !
GoPro 9. My partner uses the DJI pocket and runs with it but not the mic. You’ll have to get editing👍
