- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 28 ก.ย. 2024
- Lake District Wild Camping. The Solo Summiteer - set off from Wasdale in the Lake District for a solo wild camp in my Hilleberg Atko at Broadcrag Tarn (the highest named tarn in the Lake District) on the Scafell range just below the summit of Scafell Pike. Piched up at 2726ft. My ascent route was via Mickledore, and my descent the following day included Foxes Tarn and the summit of Scafell, the second highest mountain in England at 3163ft. A 9 mile walk with 3700ft of ascent.
Many thanks for watching - Dave

Great video with some good insight into some scrambles and dealing with wet rocks carrying a heavy pack! Thanks for sharing
Wow used to climb Scafell from the Langdales in the 60's, if I'd have Known there was a path on the other side, I would have done that route instead...Greetings from Canada
Hi Jack😎👍. I’ve done it from Langdales myself and it’s quite a trek. My route was about 15 miles and over 6000ft of climbing. Really enjoyed it tho - ATB Dave
Funny....forgot my lead on my Angle tarn Pike camp. Film finished at bedtime 😆..... looked great there. Not been to Broad stand for maybe 20 years!
Fantastic film, enjoyed it very much, thanks for sharing
Thank you, Paul. Really appreciate that 👍 Glad you enjoyed it 😊
Excellent 👍
Criminally under subbed, your channel mate. Your vids are so good. Keep up the good work.!
Much appreciated, Dominic🙏🏻. I’ll keep plugging away 😎👍
Hi Dave. Somehow it’s taken me until now to discover your channel and I’m trying to make some inroads into watching your content back to back. I’m honestly loving it and hope to manage some more summit camps in the future. So far have managed camps at the top of Glyder Fach and Cadair Idris as well as many lower level camps. Thanks for sharing your adventures and if you have a minute it would be great to hear from you over on my channel, Wild Astro. Cheers, Rich.
Nice one Rich, cheers. I really struggle with Astro pics so will check it out 👍
The Solo Summiteer there’s a little tutorial for basic Astro gear and settings I did during lockdown mate, but from what I’ve seen you seem to do just fine 😉
Great watch and thanks for sharing, always find your video educational and a good watch. Keep em coming, thanks.
nuffink147 - many thanks😎👍. Appreciate that 🙏🏻

I went there earlier this week, too.

One of the best produced Wild camping videos I have seen in a long time, too old and knackered to go out onto the hills anymore but videos of this calibre bring memories flooding back of days and nights on the fells, the video quality is great, commentary is well scripted and the music blends well, scenery to die for, thanks for sharing, i have liked and subscribed....Mike
Many thanks Michael, really appreciate that👍. Sounds like you’ve done a bit in your time. One of the biggest motivators for me keeping doing this is the fact that one day, I won’t be able to. I’m not getting any younger. Thanks again and ATB - Dave
Another inspiring watch David. If that was Friday night I experienced shocking gusts on Place Fell and came off the hill as it wasn't letting up. Woke up to a frost covered car. You are a better man than me sir!
Nice one Mick😎👍. Yeah, Friday night. Was a wild one 😳
Such a gorgeous part of the World! As long as you’re wrapped up it’s lovely 😊
Absolutely, Steven 😎👍
Another nice Vid

Thank you CC 👍
Great video! I filmed Skafell the other week so it was nice to see it from your perspective 👍🏻
Nice one Laura, that’s a great guide you did there 👍. Have you tried the corridor route, it’s my favourite 😎👍. Glad you enjoyed my video 😊
I may have a long time ago but I’ll definitely put that on my to-do list 😁 thanks!
Laura - if you check out my Great End video you’ll see it on there after I descend from Scafell Pike 😊
The Solo Summiteer great 👍🏻 will do thanks
Great video Dave. Nice to hear the Isle of Man mentioned. I often see the Lakes from here. They dwarf us.
I love being able to see the IOM, Graeham. I can sometimes see it from my local moors. I bet looking back to the lakes is an amazing sight for you. Especially in winter 😎
Fantastic thanks for sharing 👍.

Hi Dave, that's one of your best I think. Beautiful views and colours looking down into the valley. Fantastic rugged and wild setting where you camped. I've used an Akto for years now and it's still as good as new. Never had to replace anything or have it repaired. I remember thinking more than twice at the time regarding the price tag but U have to say it's never let me down. They'll take quite a battering. Take care & stay safe.
Thank you Frederick - I was impressed with the Akto 😎👍ATB Dave
That looked like a tasty trip Dave⛺️⛺️🗻🏔
Neil Laird of Glencairn - aye. Just a bit 😎👍. ATB Dave
Hi Dave,my local stomping ground is snowdonia ,I always think of of the people who laid down the paths for us to walk on. I don’t no how they did it💪🏻,another enjoyable watch 👌⛺️🏔
Cheers Paul😎👍. So grateful to the path builders 👍
Awesome lake and amazing hike no doubt its fantastic. I wanna do this Pass it’s outstanding
Adventure De North Vlogs - was a great trip. Highly recommended. Glad you enjoyed it. ATB Dave😎👍
Hi Dave, excellent video as ever! You're building up a great back catalogue of exceptional wild camps. I've just bought the Akto and hope to get it out in the colder months, but i do lack the experience... Keep 'em coming, your experience & inspiration will rub off, i promise :)
Glenn Siviter really appreciate that😎👍. I don’t consider myself particularly experienced. Always learning. Akto was impressive
Another great video man 👍

When was this walk btw??
Thanks R, really appreciated😎👍. It was last weekend.

Cant emphasise this enough, seriously. Just keep doing what you do, its perfect. Dont change anything. Hearing the pissing rain on top of a fell in an akto and seeing sheep munching at your down boots is bob on. Its a non commercial, honest, humble perspective and massively refreshing. The commercial opportunities will come later if you want them but build your core audience first. So glad I found this channel. Reminds me of the early days of Joe Robinet. Im from Lancashire by the way lol....just spent too many years in the commercial world 🍺😄
Many thanks JH. Really appreciate your thoughts and advice👍🙏🏻. It’s just me, doing what I love to do, and trying to take the viewers along with me. I just say whatever I’m thinking at the time, there’s no script, and often no words are necessary. Because I do this on my own it’s great to get feedback from likeminded folks who enjoy sharing the experience. Thanks again and ATB - Dave
I assume you’ve seen Messner and Far North Bushcraft and Survival.
Have you tried seal skinz socks for your cold feet. They are spot on.
Cheers Mark but I’ve never had much luck with them.
Just subbed, shout out to the isle of man. I mentioned it on one of your post on Facebook. Anyway, great video.
Many thanks Rich👍 Never been to IOM but love being able to see it 😎👍
Another fabulous adventure and video Dave. Can I ask why you didn’t bring your Soulo, a bit more robust than the Akto. Or was it just the extra weight on a big mountain trip
Big thanks Shane, really appreciated 😎👍. The Akto is a bit lighter which always helps when there’s a lot of ascent. It’s also much more discrete and something I prefer to be during the busier periods. The Soulo will be back in winter for the long night adventures. ATB Dave
Did you mention the tent make in this, did I miss that?
It’s in the description Stephen. Hilleberg Akto 👍
Ahhh thanks! Looking forward to some solos in the lakes next year your videos are great!
👋
I will never EVER use a tent in high winds after my last exprience I couldnt sleep all night with the fabric flapping.
Looks lovely mind.
I know exactly what you mean. I rarely get much sleep anyway. It’s all part of the experience of being in the mountains and part of nature. It’s not all as easy as it looks in the photos. To a degree, I do enjoy being tested by the environment.
What a brilliant film! I'm inspired to get out wildcamping myself now!! The quality is outstanding..great job!
Many thanks for your kind words, Nick. ATB Dave.
Great video, thanks! I'm hoping to do my own version of Classic Trident wild camping this year or maybe next, and wasn't sure if the Foxes Tarn route was ok as I saw a report of a rock fall, but looks ok, if a scramble.
Many thanks MM, and good luck with your trip 😎👍
Wow , that wind in the night, I had to take my headphones off! Felt exhausted with you on the descent. Cosy right now in our caravan near Penrith after a few stormy hikes with family this week (wind, cold and kids with wet feet), so right there with you. No wild camp for me this week, but had a good test of the Rab 8-10 shelter, just got to edit the footage. Nice one, cheers
Cheers, Dave👍. Know what you mean. Sometimes it’s just much nicer watching some else suffer from the comfort of your armchair 😁. ATB and stay safe - Dave
What a nice film, enjoyed that. Lovely views, and a nice day for it (apart from the wind). Can’t beat the lakes, such a mint place and hopefully not long before we can start going on adventures like these again. All the best, will certainly be checking out more!
Much appreciated Tom, glad you enjoyed it 😎👍. ATB - Dave
STUNNING VIDEO! 👌🏾👏🏽👏🏽
Nice one dave. Me and my mates pitched at the tarn. The night we had to call mountain rescue 2 girls got stuck on broad stand. All ended well. Hell of a pull up mickledore too with the bags. We are really nuts 😂 we had the whole debate about which is highest. We reckon foxes too. So will have to go there one day. Enjoyed this. Good bit of Wildcamping Atb. 👍
Thanks Andy😎👍. The reading on my gps showed Foxes being slightly lower. Aye, it’s a pull. I was knackered yesterday. Still am today 😁
👍👍
I went there earlier this week, too.

Coming late to this mate.........but cracking video. Can’t beat the freeze when your in your tent. Brilliant feeling. 👍👍👍
It is Del 🥶😎. Nice one. Glad you enjoyed it 👍
Great footage and brilliant editing....nice to stop and have a chat with you on your way up. Sure was windy on top of scafell pike that day. Hope you ate all the sandwichs u packed. 😂
Hey, that’s fantastic, Cal, great to hear from you guys 😎👍. Glad you enjoyed the video 😊

Brilliant video. I love your authentic no nonsense style. I really want to do it after watching your video. Keep it going.
Cheers Lee, very much appreciated👍. Hopefully we’ll be back out there soon 🤞. ATB - Dave
Awesome mate just going through all your amazing videos, daft questions what do you use for milk in your brew, powder or milk sachets or ?
Big thanks Brad. Haha. I take some real milk in a small plastic bottle.
Breathtaking scenery...looked dangerous under foot...another great vid...thanks
Thank you Ray. Know what you mean, it’s tricky terrain up there.
Hi Dave
Another wonderful vid'. Thanks for sharing it with us. Hope you're recuperation is going well. Pete
Thank you Peter. Very much appreciated 🙏🏻
Where did you leave the car mate? Love the videos.. just stumbled across your channel!
Cheers Jamie 😎👍. Parked down in Wasdale near the pub.
Nice one Dave. Did you manage to get any sleep or did the wind keep you up all night?
Cheers Rob👍. No not really. I rarely get any sleep tho. That’s why I’m so knackered when I get home. It’s like jet lag and I suffer for a few days. Feel tired now 🙄😁
The Solo Summiteer Ahh well, still looks like it was another good adventure. Starting to get chilly now so packs will be getting heavier but trails less crowded so it’s all good
👍
I went there earlier this week, too.

We sometimes question our decisions when the wind is relentless all night and the weather is bad but then we look out the tent in the morning, and the beauty of mother nature confirms that the decision to get outside was the right one after all.
Spot on 🏔️⛺️👌🏻🙏🏻
Very enjoyable great views and could almost feel the wind
Thanks Owen. That was a great route and a really enjoyable trip. Glad you enjoyed it 😎👍
Your videos are very good you certainly no your way round mountains what ruck sack are you using regards Paul
Hi Paul. Glad you enjoyed it 😎👍. The rucksack in the video is an Osprey Atmos 50 litre.
Enjoyed watching but I hate walking or trying to walk on scree so this route is better from a distance for me
Thanks Fiona👍. Know what you mean. Trekking poles really help on the scree.
♥️beautiful. I always love the music you choose for your videos. 🙏
Thank you Kathy, really appreciate you saying that. Some people have commented that they don’t like the music I choose and that it spoils the video. I realise that I can’t please everyone so just please myself and hope that others like it too. Stay safe - Dave
Wow!😍 what a spot I can't get enough of that view 8:15
Know what you mean MrWW 😎👍
Another gem, you know the best places scenery is unreal😎👍
Many thanks again. This pitch is only a 10 minute walk from where I camped on Mickledore. Such a different feel to it tho. Glad you enjoyed it 😎👍🙏🏻
Another great one Dave just to echo Andrew the Akto will take a storm if pegged secure. Heading into winter now the real fun starts. ATB.
p. s. hopefully back at the Lakes next year
Cheers Eddie👍😎. Akto was impressive. Looking forward to winter, but not the 20kg rucksack 😩
Your videos just keep getting better and better 😊👍 the music at the end really made it atmospheric
Thanks for that. Much appreciated 😎👍
👍
I went there earlier this week, too.

playing out 👍
Nice film mate.. love the clothes peg holding the door open 😂! I’ve got 2 hillebergs and I rate them highly but the bloody doors always unravel.
I’ve also started putting really small electric bands around the metal zips to stop them clanging in the wind 🤓🤓🤓
Edit *elastic bands!
Cheers Nick 😎👍. Yeah, the door on the Akto is especially poor IMHO, so I had to do something. I don’t really bother about the clinking zips as I struggle to sleep anyway.
Another great video. You certainly tackle the big boys! With my Akto I use delta pegs for the guys. Worth a look although they do take up room in the rucksack!
Thanks Charles😎. I’ll check out those pegs👍
👍👍

Very enjoyable watch. Great adventure. I don’t think my Helm 2 would still be standing. May I ask what Osprey pack you used?
Thank you Martin, glad you enjoyed it 😎👍. It was a wild one 💨. The rucksack is an Atmos 50.
@@TheSoloSummiteer Cool thank you.
What time/month of the year was this one done Dave? Psyching myself up for my mini expedition and clocked you identifying night temperature.
Nice one Chris. It’s was late September.
@@TheSoloSummiteer Thanks man 👍🏻
Have climbed that horrible wet gully!
haha. I enjoyed it Gordon 🤓
Your tent held up well! What make/model is it please?
It’s a Hilleberg Akto, Stephen 👍
What bag you using or do you recommend any ?
Currently using a Cumulus 450 quilt. Highly recommended 👍
Well done very beautiful thank you.
Thank you Yommana 😊
Another great video, love watching.
Thanks Dean. Much appreciated 😎👍
Cracking video, this is next on my bucket list to do. Think I might wait till spring to get up to the lake District
Many thanks Aggy 👍. It’ll be worth the wait, I’m sure 😎
@@TheSoloSummiteer I'd love to see it in the snow but feel I need to test my winter gear at low altitudes first. Brand new to all this outdoor malarkey
Absolutely Aggy 👍Always best to build up your experience rather than just diving in.
Fab video.. Not knowing the area I can understand why you took the akto instead of the soulo... Weight! Great advice re the double pegs and stones on top of them to secure. I always carry a second head torch too but I use a Silva exceed 2XT with a big battery which will last 4 hours or more at 500 lumen! Great edit too . I am sure you are already planning your next trip!
Nice one Tom😎 Appreciate that👍. Nothing specific planned but always got something in mind 😁
Can I ask about weight? I’m contemplating Akto or Enan which is very similar but 500g lighter (it lacks the rain proof top vent). Does half kilo make much of a difference? Both your comments about Soulo v Akto suggest it does. Cheers!
Hi Peter. I wanted a more discrete coloured tent than my bright red Soulo and initially considered another Soulo in the sand colour. I then looked at the Akto. Still 4 season, but lighter and £200 cheaper than the Soulo. The only real negative with the Akto is the lower headroom but it’s not really a problem unless you are spending a lot of time in the tent on the longest winter nights. It also has a very large porch. I still may end up with another Soulo in sand, but I’m impressed with the Akto and any weight that can be saved is good when you’re old and dragging all your kit up mountains 😁. HTH
@@TheSoloSummiteer thanks, and I get all that, so would you say I’d notice the difference between a 1.2kg tent and a 1.7kg tent when lugging it up a hill? Clearly the Akto version will be better in wet or very bad weather, but I’m just trying to understand whether I’d find that weight difference significant when carrying it on my back? (It needs to be Akto or Enan because I want their big vestibule.)
I’m not a gram counter but for me any weight saving is good, but not at the expense of strength. If you’re camping in the mountains the weather can be unpredictable and I’m sure the Akto can cope with whatever is thrown at it. Whether you can feel a 0.5kg difference is a personal thing, I guess.
Have you descended from Scafell on the Bob Graham line... thats rapid
That’s pretty much the route I took here, Nb
@@TheSoloSummiteer nice work bud, I love the scree skiing down Rakehead Crag thats class
Great pic of the Pleiades!👍🏻
Thanks Steven👍. I was struggling to keep the camera still in that wind 💨
Great job as always bud. The akto seemed to hold up well in the wind anyway??
SK Wildcamps many thanks👍 I was seriously impressed with the Akto 😎
👍👍
I went there earlier this week, too.

Great video again Dave. Wasdale has massive variations in weather. We caught two beautiful days to do Yewbarrow ( wife refused on decent of Stirrup Crag) and the Blacksail Pass to Viewing Stead, loved that. Your videos inspire us to keep climbing. Keep them coming!
Cheers Dave😎👍. I’ve only done Stirrup in ascent. It’s a bit of a bugger. Wouldn’t fancy coming down it 😳
👍👍
I went there earlier this week, too.

Great stuff Dave it's a great location up at Broad crag tarn but like you say not many pitch spots available.. That akto will take some hammer mate, I was up at whiteside back in Feb with my mate who was in his akto & it was a hell of a morning with a max gust of 72 mph I recorded on the skywatch & both the akto & my soulo stood like troopers.. That fox gulley route up scafel is a great route, I've done it a few times from eskdale & the climb up cam spout before you get to there, I'd do it again its a cracking route.nice to see the frost on the tents we had a good frost up on beinn ime last week,certainly looking forward to the winter now.. Cracking stuff Dave tfs. Andy.
that’s good to know about the Akto, Andy 👍. Was a great route. Knackered now tho. But worth it 😎
Great job Dave. What sort of camera and mic do you use? The noticed the sound was good even when you were in your tent and the wind was blowing quite a bit.
Cheers WMM 😎👍. I use a separate sound recorder and mic when it’s windy; Sony PX370. I also have a sock thing that fits over the GoPro to reduce wind noise.
Thank you. What exact mic cover do you use for the GoPro, or did you make one up?
Do you think you’ll upgrade to the GP9? I’m using the 8, however the front camera would be a great asset.
Wild Mountain Man - it’s called the form windshield housing. I only have a GP7 seem fine for me.
Excellent idea. I’ve been looking for a small mic or similar for a awhile and this should help. Just ordered one! Thanks.
Wild Mountain Man- it really does work, up to a point 👍
You must be fit to accomplish that with the pack, I'm feeling like I'm wimping out now. Great video and nice to have my memory refreshed of great days in the mountains.
Take care and cheers.
🍻
Cheers Dave👍. I’ve never considered myself fit, I just get on with it. I do push myself tho. Thanks again. ATB Dave

There is no try, only do.
Well done Dave. Looked a really wild one - missed the path to Scafell once and ended up at Burnmoor Tarn. Most scary house / ruin in England on the edge of that tarn!!!
Thanks albion51. It can be a bit scary out there 😳
👍👍
I went there earlier this week, too.

Thanks 😊
Not a ruin, but is owned by a trust, have to carry all the repair materials up!
It is so beautiful there
It’s a gorgeous spot Julie 😎👍
Excellent video Dave, have you tried using Delta pegs? I always pack some if camping high, makes a real difference if the ground isn't perfect or the winds are high. Keep up the great work. Atb Mark.
Cheers Mark 😎👍. I’ll check out those pegs 👍
👍

What a beautiful spot and the Akto merged perfectly into the surroundings. It has the same "sand" color as my Unna. Although it is not really the color of sand, it seems to match most colors in nature.
Thanks K👍. I know what you mean. Love the colour 😎
Great video, fantastic 360 on Scafell, stunning. Good to see the Akto standing up like that, invested in one myself a couple of months ago. Cheers for that one tfs, David
Thanks David😎👍. It was a tough one but worth the effort I’m sure you’ll enjoy the Akto - ATB Dave

Another great camp Dave , it certainly has got a lot colder on the nights so up there even colder brrrrr . Looked a bit dodgy on those wet and frosty rocks tho . Makes for a great watch tho atb Dave
Border Rambler - cheers Dave😎👍. Aye, was certainly interesting 😁
Wow, what a stunning location for a wildcamp not been there before will have to check it out. Looked like another wild one, don't know how you put up with that wind on the tent, wouldn't sleep a wink.
Cheers Daniel 👍. I know what you mean, I get very little sleep, probably 1-2 hrs of broken sleep on that one. That, and all hiking, means I’m usually pretty knackered for a few days when I get home.
A++++.

Great Video Dude! Thank you for this... the honesty in your storytelling is what really makes these kind of videos
Really appreciate that Calum😎👍. It’s just me being me. I’m a simple man 😊
Great vid and a wonderful spot, I wondered which is the highest, its hard to work out on the contours of the map, think I'm going to have to visit them both and maybe camp near foxes next year, keep up the good work😁👍
Cheers Markwildcamp 😎👍. It’s a slog, but worth it 👍
"A brew with a view"...certainly is.
Great vid Dave, really enjoyed watching.
As always...thanks for sharing 😎👍
Glad you enjoyed it Chris 👍😎
Seriously Dave, that was a really fantastic film, and your music choice was excellent, I'm do glad I found your channel, best wishes Adam 👍
Big thanks Adam. Really appreciate that 🙏🏻😎. ATB - Dave
Brilliant again Dave, the Akto will take a beating as long as you rock it down, do you use Delta pegs too ? Worth their weight in gold mate although hard to put in rocky terrain. Keep em coming mate. Atb. Tony
Big thanks, Tony😎. No, I’ve not used a Delta pegs yet, might be worth giving them a try though 👍
Absolutely brilliant Dave! You’ve got a new subscriber. I can’t wait to start wild camping in the new year.
Much appreciated Anthony 😎👍. Good luck with the wild camping 🏕 👍. ATB - Dave
Thank you so much for this vivid depiction of your wild camp. I live in the Cairngorms so can’t currently come down to the Lakes, but I’m definitely up for a night at Broadcrag Tarn when lockdown eases. Your filming technique is superb, thoroughly enjoy watching. The midnight piece to camera looked fun, wind flapping the tent while tucked up in a sleeping bag. Always good to have a solidly reliable tent - I always think it’s worth carrying the little extra weight. Looking forward to your next output. Hoping to get out myself overnight this week. Take care.
LilyAlways - really appreciate your kind words😎👍. Good luck and ATB Dave
Inspirational, non-pretentious, a great tea break distraction between slots of home learning (today for me rather than junior). I can feel the desire to start Tarn Bagging.
Big thanks and much appreciated 🙏🏻
Awesome bit of content mate! Cracking video👌, I'm looking to do some proper summit wild camping! I've camped on Dale Head but your videos are giving me some inspiration to go a little higher. ATB and stay Safe.
Richard Willingale - fantastic. Good luck. Enjoy. And thank you 😎👍
Beautiful spot, looked a good test for the Akto in that wind, those rocks don't half get slippy when wet don't they, had a couple of slips last time I was out, just a couple of grazes though fortunately.
Yeah tent was great. Those rocks can be lethal. Really need to take care. Thanks for watching Europa 😎👍
Nice one mate. Think I'd have preferred to be in the Soulo in those conditions. Not that the Akto can't manage them, just seems more comfortable in the Soulo for riding out bad weather.
Cheers Scott😎👍. Know what you mean, headroom is a bit low in the Akto. Was fine tho. Soulo will be coming out for the 16hr nights 😳🥶
Yeah the Soulo has gotta be more pleasurable for the long nights!
I was once stuck in it, in a winter storm up near Great End for 16hrs, Scott. Wouldn’t call it pleasurable 😆
I tend to just sleep when it’s like that. I can sleep through anything. 🤣
That’s brilliant. I struggle sleeping. Even at home 🙄
Great vid 👌 You were treated to a lovely morning. Winter camping is nearly here 😍 Adam
AMC Outdoors, many thanks👍. Love winter too 😎
Brilliant video Dave found this off the wild camping on facebook new subscriber :)
Really appreciate that, jon. ATB Dave
Great vid,Again! I can't imagine the effort that goes into turning out these brill films so regularly! Anyway,it's a thumbs up again from me...atvb.👍
Really appreciate that Fraser 👍😎
Don't miss next week's exciting episode in Wasdale. Across at Great Gable for another brew with a view!
C Clow - nah. Been there. Done that 😎👍
Very inspiring! I'm wanting to do a wild camp but never wanted to go alone.. this inspires me that it's possible!
Hi Nathanial - the thought that I’m inspiring people I think it’s amazing😎👍Big thanks for your kind comments. Good luck, I’m sure you can do it 💪👍
So few views, loads of people missing some good stuff here m8
Driving My Van really appreciate that😎👍. It’s difficult getting started.
