  • In this video ill show you how i camp in the peak district uk in bad weather,its always best to stay warm and dry. On this particular trip I bring my Hilleberg Soulo, Hilleberg tents are very strong and the Hilleberg Soulo is one of the strongest out there, having the right camping gear and knowing camping hacks and camping tips is important.
    outdoor adventures and outdoor activities can be fun in good and bad weather,caming in the rainand bad weather camping is a rest of outdoor survival,good outdoor preparation is key so we can camp safely.
    This was a windy storm with rain and at times torrential rain ,i managed to stay safe warm and dry.

    The videos are alot better when they are longer like this one, keep up the good work and try and produce more longer videos if you can?

    I'm a little old for this style of camping now but being inside a tent, completely snug and warm, listening to the wind/rain is one of the best feelings ever!

      Yes, it really is... Away from all the madness of our world. Thanks for watching Mike 🙂👍

      I don't know your situation, but alot of people, though they be well aged, begin to feel younger and are more mobile and physically strong after just a few workouts and alot of well balanced calories. Good nutrition, hydration, and exercise. You may have to start out small but after 2 or 3 workouts I promise many feel much stronger and limber. Something to consider because there are alot of people in their 70's who do this and feel and function much younger. And if you get close to Jesus you can get even better physical vitality

    Nice one again Mick.
    I noticed Sheffield spelt with one F as is the case at the Hope Cross.
    How do you find the Soulo for condensation? Hilleberg are often criticised for being condensation magnets but I don't think that's really justified. I like as much ventilation as possible and often sleep with the inner open at least half way. The tent is there to keep you dry and out of the wind. Your clothing and sleeping bag/quilt is there to keep you warm.
    Your videos are refreshingly honest and straightforward. Too many nowadays are slick, barely concealed adverts for whatever free gear the protagonist has been sent.
    Thanks for posting.

      Cheers Frederick, really appreciate your kind comment, yes the monument had one for, it dates back to the 17 hundreds on the way up to white edge from the Baslow Rd end, some fascinating stone circles round that area.
      I have no condensation problem with the Soulo, the enan is more of a problem without the footprint but after buying one it's not bad at all.
      Not sure about the enan, don't love it like the Soulo... May sell next year.
      Cheers for your support..

    I've never considered camping on that bit of the Peaks. Looks like a nice place to pitch up and a little bit less busy than up Kinder and Derwent Edge. So many places to go visit, and right on the doorstep.

    Aah the versitility of the bushbox . Easy to use with a Trangia as well as twigs .
    As you said , kerping warm is due to what you take with you , 100% minimalist is fine for warner consistent weather, but not midsummer in the higher bits of the Uk.
    Still, love yhe sound of wind and rain on tent when you're all cosy .
    (My video from easter Sunday was equally wet and windy .
