Part 2
ESCAPE FROM THE MOUNTAIN
The final night in a snowstorm mentally preparing to pack up in the morning and walking off the mountain. Digging a tent out by hand takes some doing! A snow shovel will be the best tool in this situation whereas I just had patience and positivity but fitness also helped.
Stay safe out there as winter can be harsh and unforgiving so be prepared with the right gear.
Enjoy!
Al and Blue

I just can get Spider-Man out of my head.
😂 you’re not the first to mention it.
Merry Christmas. Did Blue get his Christmas Treat?
Well done 👍🏼
This deserves some sort of you tube award for still putting effort into getting the edit walks etc. Great watch.
I think I climb every mountain twice 😂😂😂
@@BUSHMANandBLUE oh and I’ve sent you a beer as you deserve it 🍺🍺
Cheers👊
And there was me giving up my daily 5 mile walk today because i thought the wind was bitterly cold lol.... nothing but total respect for you mate.... absoloutely loved both videos!
The days not over get out😂😂😂
Feel like l've just watched a masterclass in winter wild camping
Thanks, Phil
😂 thank you. Not sure a master class but definitely a good experience to share👍👍👍
Fantastic..
Blue is a lovely dog..
Stay safe out there matey..
Cheers Phil. 👊
Great Adventure. Miles better than the over produced, sanitised stuff on the telly. To do it and make a video, brilliant 👍
Yes I’m no Bear Grylls sleeping in hotels 😂😂😂
I totally enjoyed all of it. I watched both episodes from start to finish. I think this was the most enjoyable camping episode I have ever watched. Thank you so much for sharing your experience with us.
😊awwwww thanks. I’m glad you enjoyed it.
Absilutley epic camp 👍 from start to finish awesomeness 🤩 thankyou for sharing your wonderful adventure.♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️
I had a word with myself..... and I still enjoyed watching your videos!
😂😂😂
Makes my wild camping trips positively mild , fair play for sticking it out for 2 nights . Proper mental conditions shown in a calm manner and with the correct gear you gave us a great film .
Thank you my friend! I think keeping calm is key for all camps. I’m sure you know they can be stressful at times. 👍👍👍
Wow! I was totally hooked on part 1 and had to watch part 2! Loved watching this and you make it so interesting with vid footage etc. Love Blue too, so happy and chilled. loved it! 🙂
Thanks very much for showing the video, as I was watching it I thought about the great British Antarctic explorers Scott , Shackleton and how they had to survive with their Heavy gear and clothing.
Al you are incredible! I can't wait to get out this year, albeit not in these extremes 😂 Love to you and Blue
Great videos once again Blue, “anyway” remind your man to bring his snow shovel next time, Brilliant can’t wait for the next. ATB
😂😂😂 LOL!
Just watched this for the second time. Amazing vid Al. What an experience for both you and Blue. Like you said at the end, seems a shame to leave, but a warm fire and a few beers are waiting at home. Looks like a different world at the bottom. Love it. Keep em comin!
It was strangely very calm up there and I loved every minute 😊
I have just watched both videos part one and two This was truly epic What a team you and blue are and you both have got to be the best that’s out there on You tube Throughly enjoyed both videos A Massive well done and well executed showing how wild camping should be and done safely in the most high endurance of conditions
Thanks. It was strangely really enjoyable and relaxing being isolated like that😬
Been looking forward to this All. I'll watch it later. I'm busy now 😊
Fantastic two videos, a really interesting insight into winter walking and camping conditions, a great adventure! Stunning photography and scenery.
Thanks Liz. It’s nice to get into interesting conditions 👍👍👍
Aw I loved this , we (Hubby, 2 dogs and I) are about to embark on our first wild camping trip , we’re certainly not as brave as you lol something nice and easy for us 😊, because I unfortunately have terminal cancer , but wild camping is definitely on my bucket list . Thank you for sharing, and Blue is adorable, our dog (rocky) loves the snow too but he’s a husky / Alaskan malamute lol xx
Keep nailing that bucket list! I hope to inspire people to get out and adventure whilst their bodies and brains can. Often people wait until it’s too late and it’s people like yourself who truly can inspire and spread that positive can do it attitude. Total respect to you and definitely get out camping with those dogs.
Waw love your videos im 68 but from Dallas Tx my respect impres close my ayes and travel whit you amazing and scare be safe blue is amazing
Thanks my American friend 👍. I’ll keep adventuring 😉
Thanks 👍 that was fantastic as good as those on everest etc well done
😂 thanks. If I went to Everest though I’d make a good film👌😉
I experienced my first white out this year on the tops of the Dales after storm Arwen. It's so disorientating, had to rely on GPS to navigate. I can see why you enjoy this kind of thing so much.
Cracking set of videos Al and some good advice. Top work.
I’ve been in Switzerland snowboarding in a complete white out and I was the last on the mountain. It was a slow steady down following the Piste edge markers which occasionally I had track back to. GPS can be an amazing eye 👍
Brilliant videos Al. Listening to you talk through the scenarios you find yourself in, mentally working through your options & forming solutions is deeply fascinating. We the viewers gain an understanding of the psychological strength it takes to be in these situations.
Love all your videos. Appreciate your experience, fitness & sound practicality 😌
Thank you. I try put across my thoughts as when in those situations you definitely become hyper aware of all your surroundings and constantly think of all possibilities.
Thank you loved the video's and blue is an amazing dog 😁👍💪🐺
Well, after seeing that, i am reconsidering the size of my toilet shovel. 😅 Fantastic adventure, well edited. thanks for sharing.
That was amazing! What a fantastic adventure. 👏 Well done Blue!
Totally addictive channel Alan, our two Border terriers go beserk every time blue appears on screen 😄. Stay safe out there mate , we're looking forward to more videos.
😂😂😂 cute! Blue would love to play!
Get ready, your channel is about to blow up! Great video!
Let’s hope 🤞
Fingers crossed for you man, you deserve it🤞🙌
This guy is my new solo extreme camping HERO 👆👆👆
👊 I best try keep the title😊
I watched the whole thing and I loved it. Well done for persevering the weather
It definitely required perseverance 👍👍👍
Great to see the channel growing. You certainly put in the effort. Loved how you cared for Blue. He is a very loyal dog. Cheers Sel
I’m glad you appreciate what I’m doing👍👍👍
Amazing , proper winter camp 👍
Great couple of videos. Well done, and thanks! 🙂
Great part 2 Al and some very wise words at the end. It's all too common to see people not properly prepared in the mountains. And it can go south ever so quick even in the night of summer. Anyway thanks for sharing Al, and stay safe out there.
Thanks Tony. Hopefully a few people might think twice and prepare better👍
On it again Al & Blue ~ you're knocking out some serious content and good on ya for doing so . As ever , inspirational combined with sound advice . 10 / 10 .
Take it easy , and in case I don't get the chance , Merry Christmas to you and yours and all the very best for 2022 . Neil .
Thanks Neil. Might catch you again sometime👍👍😂
Thanks Al for sharing. Excellent video again.
Fantastic. Watched both parts back to back, what an adventure
Well thought out and prepared, just goes to show the difference a few miles can make from relatively stable conditions in the valley to hard conditions up the mountain. Great videos really enjoyed both of them, great advice.
I’m hoping people think twice before they head out👍👍👍cheers man.
@@BUSHMANandBLUE 100% agree, I know my limitations and always prepare for the worse, there are some shocking sights out and about. Really good advice in your videos I always learn something new 👍
Glad the videos are helping 👌👍
I once watched a couple with two kids head up blencathra. Ok it was a decent day with rain forecast, they were carrying a picnic basket and an umbrella, the wife was in high heeled shoes, we did a lot of fellwalking then and carried the relevant equipment, frightening!!!!!
Wow high heels! I might have to do a video wearing some 😂. ‘What not to wear’
What you do brings back these memories of days gone by and it's like traveling these adventures all over again. Thx a million. 🤗❤
Great vid, something about listening to howling wind and weather from the comfort of home is quite relaxing.
'Watching a grown man in a tent'! 🤣 Please please Alan never stop making these videos, best yet. Watching your videos is really giving me itchy feet, I live less than an hour from the Lakes but my kit is more 3 season rather than 4 but dying to get out there for a wild camp.
A few upgrades and you’ll be there! Quickly change your letter to Santa😂😂😂. Thanks mate I’ll keep going😉
@@BUSHMANandBLUE think a trip to the shops in Ambleside is called for 👍
Absolutely class mate! Really did come across an epic one, hopefully ya channel starts booming n creates some real revenue to take you on even bigger adventures, I rekon a mount blanc holiday next year would be up your alley? And amazing content, with a fjallraven sponsorship deal🤞🤘
You’ve painted my dream future my friend👊
Love Blue and you’re a doll.
I enjoyed every moment of that! Both episodes.
Not only have you got the kids hooked, my Dad (dementia sufferer) is on board now and was waiting for me to fire the link over for part 2 🤣
Absolutely ace! Some sound advice amongst the Insanity too. Makes this channel a must for everyone! Congratulations on the incoming attention and success mate......deserved!
Stay safe!
Adge.
Thanks mate and I’m glad the whole family is watching! Hopefully your dad enjoys going on these adventures with me. 👍👍
I watched both videos and all i can say is that was a truly life affirming and amazing experience you and blue had.
How much would you have paid for a snow shovel to suddenly appear?
😂 I managed okay but only because I’m pretty fit. It would tire many people because it was quite hard work. Thanks 🙏
That was Awsome. One of the best camping videos I've watched
Amazing stuff, thoroughly enjoyed both parts 😄
At 60 years of age I’m probably not tough enough or strong enough anymore (health issues) to try something like this, but it’s great watching you and Blue getting stuck in. I was up around the Keswick area visiting family in the summer great part of the world.
Curious about the temperatures outside at night plus wind chill v inside the tent do you bother to measure it at all?
Anyway, a great watch, nearest I get to an adrenaline fix is riding my motorbike these days 🤣. Keep the vids coming👍
Well I’m glad you are appreciating our adventures. The difference outside to inside was vast. I’m guessing the windchill would be -15 out big inside probably sat in 5 degrees. I’ll test next time👍👍👍
@@BUSHMANandBLUE That’s a big old temperature range, yes please do that next time if it’s not too much trouble always interested in how warm you can make it when the temps plummet 🥶
I hope you don’t think you’ve got to be more extreme in this each video Al. People will watch you and Blue in good weather too. This one reminded me Everest 1996 (how weather quickly turned) thankfully you both survived 👍
I’ll just camp out in what’s there 😉. Yes 96 was a horrific story.
2 great videos. Hat’s off to you and your wonderful dog Blue
Great adventure.......great watch, with Blue making it extra magical
Amazing ! Keep up the good work guys !!!
Brilliant, it captured the winter weather in the mountains perfectly. 👍👍👍
It was pretty dreamy mate👍👍👍
Excellent demonstration of what it can be like up high in the Lakes in winter. Great video again.
👍👍👍
Loved how you cared for Blue…
I always look after him. We are a team👊🥰
thanks for these vlogs soo interesting and how nice to have a companion like blue,he looks like he absolutely luvs it,keep up the great work
Very informative. Thank you.
Awesome video, thanks very much for uploading. Looked amazing and hats off for challenging yourself...
Keep the videos coming - massively entertaining and informative.
Thank you Patrick 👊
Watched alot of you and blue over the past year mate love your content
More to come 👊👍
Well done ,that was a whiteout and a half and you kept blue safe,great video man,keep it up.
It was pretty epic being in all that but very calming even in a storm. 👍👍👍
Fantastic videos! Thanks for making them!
Cheers mate!
Fantastic adventure that, loved every minute! Many thanks!
I thoroughly enjoyed it👊
You have mad skills. Oh, and so does Blue!
Cheers mate 👍👍👍
Absolutely epic once again thanks Al and Blue! Thoroughly enjoyed it! 🙌💯
😊
Absolutely awesome.
Another great video. Your enthusiasm is infectious for sure. Loving life and enjoying every second. Cannot wait for the next one 👌
😊 Thanks buddy
Great couple of videos. Well done and glad you made it back safe and well.
Thanks. It was nice to get back and have a hot shower👌
Love your videos and adore Blue, he is also a master camper!! ❤🐶🐶🐶
Fabulous watch, very brave!!!
Amazing he can find his way in a whiteout
Wow fantastic video , A brilliant example of how to stay safe in the mountains .
Cheers mate! Appreciated 👊
Great stuff. Shows you don’t have to travel to the ends of the earth to have an adventure. Providing you’ve got the right kit and know how to use it of course.
Definitely! The uk can have some epic adventures 👍👍👍
Very enjoyable watch...
Glad we didn't have too wait long for part 2. These adventures are so good they should be on Amazon prime.
😂😂😂 I’ll contact them. Given more time and money I think I could make some top quality adventure films. 😬👊
Epic video mate! I know the feeling of being cocooned in the warmth, comfort and security of your tent! Blue is SOOO chilled!!
Cheers. It definitely feels safe in there 👍👍👍
What a great 2 day adventure the fjallraven stood up well to the conditions,bought you a coffee keep these great informative videos coming 👌🏻👍🏻
Cheers mate much appreciated 👊
Absolutely brilliant mate.
awesome experience.. definitely something to aspire to doing....
Wow...really great...professional backpacker...
I respect you....and love this video..
From far East..South Korea..
Love this video, watched it many times!! The cozy feeling in the tent with Blue and how you got the tent out without a shovel!! U and Blue the best!!
It was strangely so calm in the tent and felt really safe👍👍👍
Can I send you and Blue a gift at Christmas in thanks for getting me through the hot humid Summer watching your Snowy beautiful videos❤
To borrow your words, absolutely stunning. I like how Blue seems to be aware of his own limits to, and comes to you knowing you'll pop him away in shelter.
Great vids! Thank you!
Blue definitely loves the snow but like anyone knows the safety of a tent when needed. 👍👍👍👍
Outstanding!
Checking all your videos i just admire how tough you are...you and blue are really incredible to see conquering all those difficult weather. Salute to both of you🤗🙆♀️💪
Thanks. We just overcome whatever we have to. Life I guess.
You are the best in what you do. You put your life out there in harm's way to entertain us which we do enjoy your adventures but safety first. Stay safe amigo
Your knowledge is endless, another brilliant video again. 👍👍👍
Thanks buddy. 👊
Great shot of you two walkingvinto the white out.
Thanks for a great video.
Great to watch this 2nd part. Total respect. Amazing. Puts me to shame staying in the house because of rain. Well done. Looking forward to your next video. ATB
😂Just wear the right clothes and take the right kit👍👍👍
Awesome Al, well done!!
So glad I get to see part 2!! Such a ‘oneness’ with nature believing you are snuggled in safely with Your buddy and knowing you don’t have to go out and drive to work, go to the store….. ecstasy. Thanks again. From the same house in Maine, US😁
Exactly that! ‘No where to be’ is a great feeling to have👌
Such amazing videos. You never really looked worried. Going out there by choice, knowing what to bring with you to stay safe, and seeing the beauty in all that you saw must have been exhilarating. Having Blue with you for companionship was helpful I’m sure. I feel sorry for the wildlife that live in that area. But I’m sure they know where to hunker down to keep safe and warm. Thank you for sharing your adventure with us. Continue to stay safe.
Thanks Kim. It definitely is an exhilarating experience being out there and surviving it all. Thoroughly enjoyably👌
Loved this
Wonderful video, thank you very much 🤩🇯🇵
Thank you 😊
Thanks for the amazing tips
Two of the most exciting youtube vids I've seen. Brill. Well done. Nothing phases Blue .👌
Thanks! Do you normally watch a sewing channel? 😂😂😂. I think that’s about a 6/10 for excitement 👊
My Australian Shepherd/Blue Merle Collie would sit outside in the snow in -20f in Michigan, she liked it and did not want to come in the house. Absolutley loved very cold and bad weather and wanted to be out in it.
Yes and a few people have said I’m cruel! Certain dog breeds like collies are so hardy they need the stimulation! 👍👍👍
@@BUSHMANandBLUE Yes, sorry people are saying you are cruel, I guess I made my comment because I felt people would make that observation. They are just misguided, in their heads they think they mean well, just not too good at lateral thinking. I guarantee Michigan is colder than anywheree/anytime in the UK (having lived in both) and people walk their dogs in weather colder than Blue was in. If people did not walk their dogs here because it was cold and snowing they would be thought of as lazy and cruel. Now I did have a Pitbull/Lab mix and she was only happy above 50 deg F, but she had a very thin coat.
Yes totally! I think it’s cruel only walking dogs on a pavement for a few minutes a day. Blue is one lucky dog getting to explore like this. Thanks my friend 👊
Two great videos. Well edited with great information.
After watching the first video, I couldn't wait for the second one.
🙏 thanks
Just purchased this tent,watched this video when it came out,was very impressed with how it performed so finally pulled the trigger,all the best to you and Blue.
It’s definitely a tough tent👌👊
@@BUSHMANandBLUE does it require seam sealing
Just had a word with myself and I'm still here. Must be as mad as you. Great video keep them coming.
Wow what a series - love it! truly epic X2 vlogs - thks so much - loads of good/sensible advice & I loved the parting clip where you were walking away from the campsite & you could see your blue rain cover disappearing into the whiteout....👍 Thks again & keep up the great work - I've happily bought you & blue a few beers/ chews - well worth it for the epic content you produce...
Wow thank you so much! I’m glad you appreciate what I’m doing. It’s definitely hard work producing a video and I’m complete new to it so learning all the time. 👍👍👍
