- GREAT END SUMMIT CAMP IN A HAIL STORM
A long walk out In a weather window with looming grey skies. 50mph+ winds and huge hailstones batter our camp at 910m as we keep safe in my Fjallraven Abisko Lite 2 tent wrapped in down. A tough but enjoyable night In the great outdoors.
Leave no trace and stay safe(ish)
All love

You and Of course Alan are just Brilliant.Scott Somerset
Voted you, Mate.
Voted for you and Blu as your the best
You got my vote Al. 😇
Vote for Blue and You Slan
Blue is the best buddy!
😂
I just love seeing Blue, all snuggled and safe, as if nothing is going on 😊
🥰 he always just chills and occasionally gives me a wink🥰
Amazing- he trusts his dad!
Rain? Check. High winds? Check. Hail? Check. It's like Mother Nature said, "Oh, look--Al's going camping again. Let's see what we can throw at him this time!" Proper respect for getting through all that and keeping you and Blue safe. Even more respect for keeping a smile on your face while doing it. Thank you for sharing your adventure with us. I don't know how you manage to film while fighting the elements like this, let alone produce the wonderful videos you do every time.
😂 I just get out whenever I can regardless and I’m only pointing a camera and filming what’s there. Thanks Jan as always.
Tortilla chips , chili and double IPA Check! Weather any storm
😂😂😂
@@BUSHMANandBLUE headphones. Not the radio kind but the loud wind/sleet/chainsaw type.
maybe a pair for the dog (who gave you a sleepy look in the morning. LOL)
There's something about being warm and cozy in your sleeping bag when outside of the tent is the worst weather. ⛈😊
Childhood memories 😬
I remember one camping trip with my dad in the 70s when I was 10.
He pitched on a cliff top in glorious weather in Devon on the way down to Cornwall. We had one of the larger family frame tents .
The weather changed in the night and I woke up to a howling wind, torrential rain - and my dad running round outside knocking pegs back in, then running back in and wiping the water running off the frame before running outside again to check the stability of the tent.
Such was the trust I had in my dad, I went back to sleep unconcerned, lol.
Now, watching the conditions you are often camping in, my stomach is churning!
😂 one to remember. I remember similar as a kid
Makes me smile seeing blue just chilling in the tent in those conditions! Just nothing seems to stress him. Just brilliant.
He loves it! 🥰
It's because blue is with his best friend ☺️❤️❤️☺️❤️
i think it is because camping is good for dogs. gets them back into nature where they spent the vast majority of their evolutionary lives. haha. like for us really.
EDIT: For Blue, it is like a big long walk... with a nice shelter for a break in the middle. haha. Well I suppose that is exactly what it is, but... he is in his element... is what I am saying.
Me and husband watch your videos of a evening when we're all cosy and warm. We love the videos and you've always got a smile on your face. no matter what weather throw at you. Keep up good work 👏
Thanks Claire. It’s lovely you can watch together. 😊
Спать надо с пёсиком под боком - обоюдное тепло.
That tent is fantastic in the wind. Even at the wind's full force you could see your breath on camera and your breath was stationary. There was no air shifting through the tent at all. Thus, it was taking the full brunt of the wind and inside although chaotic and shaking, there was no breeze passing through. Nice.
It’s definitely a safe space if set up well👍👍👍
I've watched this for like 9 nanoseconds. The love you have for your dog, impenetrable.
Omg, your so brave , thanks 4 sharing your daring video's,. & pls,keep safe.
Awesome as ever! Well done Al and Blue. Gotta say all your vids are great but my faves are when you do ones like this. Seriously, I don't know anyone else who would cope with these elements, even whilst on a mountain. Tent looked great and thanks for the gear tips 👍😊🏕
Everyone just likes to see me suffer 😂😂😂. I just smile my way through it. Thanks Donna😬
@@BUSHMANandBLUEahh noooo not suffer. You set yourselves a challenge and you go for it. So inspirational 👍😊🏕
Very good. Bet the dog loves these adventures.
A good tent, most would've blown away.
It is inspiring to see you in such harsh conditions with a smile on your face and Blue with not a care in the world! This past summer I got caught in a huge torrential storm with high winds and I cried, lol. I was scared of the trees falling on me and I couldn't see a thing bc my tent is a fortress with a big rainfly and vestibule. I got through it and next storm will be better. We live and learn. Good on you guys for really sticking it out in some tough yet thrilling conditions.
All good experiences. Near trees is always the scary one though that might knock the smile of my face literally 😂
@@BUSHMANandBLUE 😄 i hope not! thanks for the reply!
Love these kind of videos! Love the extreme weather, rain sleet, hail, wind, snow you do the best job of anyone out there. Thank you for all the hard work that you do so that we can enjoy.😊 PS Blue is my favorite dog out there
Cheers Tom. I just get out whenever I can with a camera in hand😬👍
Your videos are so well crafted and compelling that they inspire me on a personal level as well as make me feel like I'm right there with you and Blue on your adventures. Wicked weather on this one. Glad you both endured.
I really hope to inspire others to do that little bit more in life. I’m glad you can join me on these adventures 😬
Mad dogs and Englishmen go camp in the midnight gale! Or as you put it .. EPIC!
😂 perfect description
What a trip! Thanks for bringing us with you and Blue.
This was a really exciting trip. I thought for sure you were going to get blown away. I don’t think I’ve ever seen wind that strong. Thanks for taking me along… 🙋🏻♀️💕🙏🇺🇸
You need to watch my storm Arwen video from last year in the same place. That was next level😂
After watching these videos i find it boring to watch Outdoor Gear reviews channel! Thank goodness for your videos to keep us on the edge of our seats watching! 🥰🇨🇦
😂😂😂 well I’m hoping people feel they are on the adventure with us👍
Don't cry over spilt milk - this got me 🙂. I love this channel.
😂 it’s so true and a great saying.
Nothing like the soothing sounds of near gale storm winds and hail...if you're in a cozy cabin 😀. On a brighter note, it almost looks like you're on another planet near the the end of the video. Surreal yet stunning.
Yes definitely that. A wild but calm place 😬
Look at the size of those hail stones, that’s nuts 😃Awwwww Blue all snuggled up, I always love to see that xx
I’ve experienced way bigger but at that size they definitely hurt!
I loove Blue ❤️
Totally amazing pal,what you do to entertain and inspire us is incredible.
Nearly as much as you as Elvis😉👊
Amazing love your dog blue lost my collie in August this year 17 years old man’s best friend 🐕
A good long life👊. They are the best for adventuring with
Your a top bloke, love your channel. Keep it up. Love to Blue x
When my kids were younger we camped it would rain and I loved it just laying there all snug and warm listening to the noise great times love watching you and your lovely dog blue ⛺️🌧️
It’s one of the most therapeutic sounds😬
Blue loves it he the star the show man should be cauld bush dog, haha blue didn't need a spoon haha
I voted for you both just now from up here in Canada🇨🇦. I really enjoy your videos and have my 12 year old grandson watching now. You always have a wonderful smile no matter the conditions, that's warmer than the fires you start🤗. Thank you so much.🇨🇦
Brilliant! It’s lovely you can watch with your grandson. Get him inspired 😬👊👍
Love watching your outings in the tent with Blue great fun you must have even in the wind rain snow x
Blue looks so serene.
Superb. Love these extreme weather videos you do. Another great night out in the wild. Keep them coming
Thanks 😊
Love the videos with the high winds. The scenery is so lovely. Very enjoyable
You make the best winter wild camping videos , no doubt about it👍
😂 thanks bud I’m sure there will be more to come.
Hi, Al ! That was great fun to watch. You're right, adaptability is key. That skill will stand you in good stead as you age. Adapt and move on !
Definitely mate👍. Always adapt and move on.
My favorite Sunday routine! Cup of coffee in hand and you two on the screen!
😂simple living
Awesome! Love Blue and the bond that you two share!
All of your video's are great Al but this is your bread and butter, I love seeing you and Blue out there taking on the elements. Having done a few bikepacking trips myself in some dodgy weather I can fully appreciate what you're dealing with, and the way you both deal with it is fantastic. #no1youtuber
You just have to deal with it otherwise danger kicks in😂. Thanks buddy 👊
Love all your videos particularly the winter ones
Hopefully it will be a good winter😬
🥰🥰 love when blue is nice and warm inside, he’s so cute 🥰🥰
Love your videos. Yu are so enthusiastic and positive, your love for wild camping just shines like a beacon. I have climbed 85 munros and many other wainwrights and lesser hills and I would really love to try wild camping, your videos have inspired me at 62 to get a tent and try this!..always wanted to wake up on a mountain and get sunrise pics. I'm going to get into it in 2023..started researching tents so any recomendations welcome. Keep the videos coming and stay safe.
You’re already there if you have the experience to get to these places👍. Definitely get some sunrises from a tent 👍👍👍
Just love watching your videos, pity it's always bad weather though, 😊
I just get out when I can😬
I'm a new sub and you and Blue are amazing adventurers... thankyou for the great video... gosh you do sum scary storms
Welcome bud and thank you.
In army jungle training we were taught to make chopsticks from sticks we got from trees. One bigger stick is great for stirring. Of course, I don't suppose you want to leave the tent to gather sticks.
Best content! Keep the great work up !!!
Great video! Nights like those are the best
Great vlog thanks Al, fierce looking conditions but a great outing and camp 🤙🏻
Fierce is a great word for it👌. Thanks 😬
Superb epic adventure once again - top marks to you both mate...
I love the way you're totally buzzing when the weather gets more extreme, another crazy one, but looked awesome 😁
I always have done. I think I feed off the energy from it😬
What an experience !
The noise levels, wow - if blue can sleep through that then wow.
I need my sleep , so although I love the outdoors - I have to draw a limit somewhere.
Another great video 👍
We both sleep well and in pretty much anything. It was loud at times though😬
Just brilliant 👍
Lovely programme.
That looked brutal. I was expecting the hail to put holes in your fly sheet they were that big. Glad both Blue and yourself stayed safe. I'm up in Borrowdale for the next few days so might be up there myself.
The hail really hammered down. It was like the BB gun fights as kids😂
What a relaxing camping vid.
Loved that Allen! I've just voted on the link bud - hope you win the category as you make some great stuff. You and Chris at MCM are the best on TH-cam for watchability and good content with great videography. If there was a category for 'best outdoor dog' then Blue would win hands down!!
😂😂😂 Blue definitely is top dog👌. Thanks for voting though mate. It means a lot just to be recognised as there are so many wild camping TH-camrs. MCM is a good lad👊
ROUGH NIGHT , bet the sleeping bag was nice and cosy listening to the wind , love that .
It’s always nice being snug in yer bag😬
Wow Blu definately is a trail dog he is always leading the way ! Love you new flat spoon defo the way to go ....Those hail stones were something else ❤️
Yes Blue always leads the way. Could be a sled dog😬
just love these videos of you and Blue keep them coming🙃
You were smart to have packed that Fjallraven Abisko Lite 2. Yet another great test of that tent.
Thanks for another great video.
Yes it’s a good tent👍
Love your videos keep upload ing from kerala🙌❤
Love it
Just discovered your channel and enjoying these extreme weather camping videos :) I love how calm your dog is! I'd probably have used a tent peg as a stirring device haha
Welcome mate! I’ve loads of good adventures for you to catch up on in some amazing places👍
That tent man! what a wild ride! Quality control, passed :D
You are totally bonkers! And I love it! Big hugs to lovely Blue! 😁😘😁
😂we definitely are
what more do you want, the environment is great. What a beautiful sleep
JUST VOTED FOR YOU AND BLUE , LOVE YOUR ADVENTURES. U2 ARE SO AWESOME, PERFECT TEAM...😀
Thanks Dave 👊😬
Now this is a proper foul weather video! Awesome!
It’s a warm up for winter 😉
I'm enjoying your videos. I love your relationship and care for your dog. It brings back my camping times in the Lake district, You've even got me back using my West Yorkshire accent at times. I'm off back to the Lakes next time I come to England. Thanks for all the survival tips.
Excellent Howard I’m glad I can take you along and remind you of Yorkshire 😉👍👍👍
Great video, takes me back👍👍
Brilliant video Al, Blue is amazing. Think my heart rate went up just watching it. Many thanks
It was calm 😬😬😬
OMG I'm exhausted now 😂I will also be so grateful for every spoon, fork, and knife I use today 😂 Awesome to watch, and thanks for sharing! ❤👍
😂 yes you miss the simple things massively
Another brilliant video. Was sure the tent was going to rip through the hail. Always inspires me to get, whatever the weather. 😄Thanks Al and Blue.
Thanks Steve. The tent survived well but the hail was harsh👍
13:30 awwww Blue looks so snug and content bless him 🥰
Love the extreme weather vids. At least you avoided the sleeping mat floating on the icy stream in the tent on this one. Blue , what a great dog👍👍👏👏
😂😂😂 that was a proper tough camp 😬
Harika, en sevdiğim hava.
Clicked the link Alan. Didn't know how to forward it or vote. But. The content of the reason I wanted to vote for yourself and blue. Is simply because you are nuts. But a man after my own heart. Can't wait to see your snowy storm camps for 2022~23. Keep it it up bud.
Thanks mate. It should work. Roll on the snow😬
great, fun video!
Brilliant. Bonkers. Informative. Love it.
Sounds like me that😂
I love that dog Blue.
Not watched it yet I'm saving to watch it in comfort in abit cuz there's nowt like watching someone go through it while you don't 😉 thanku for the effort I'm sure I'll enjoy cheers Al 💚
Tut, tut fancy forgetting your spork 😂😂
You and blue are just amazing absolutely loved this video you two are simply the best . ❤️❤️
Awwwwwww thanks😊
I especially liked the introduction which included a forecast of what's coming. Double poles; hopefully they help to keep your tent intact.
Unbelievable - that you forgot a knife & eating utensils. Hey, that what hands/fingers are for, eating. Loved your creative "flat spoon".
You answered all my question during your Columbia boot dialog.
@21:00 minutes - it appears that your guyout lines are equally taut.
Blue sure knew when it wanted to get into the tent & out of the hail.
Double poling that tent turned it into a 5-Star luxury shelter out in the boonies.
Thank you, for taking your time, effort, & equipment to share this epic outdoor hail storm adventure.
Warm Regards from bone dry Reno, Nevada U.S.A.
Thanks Bill. Double poles definitely adds a level of safety when out in the wind nearly 5* 😂
That countryside is just ruggedly beautiful. I love it. Thank you for all the effort you put into your videos. Not everybody would go out camping and filming in the weather you do. Although, there is a guy here in the States that loves a good storm. Being out in it is something else. Thanks for sharing. You and Blue are a great pair. Keep on trekking. 😊🍻🇬🇧
Cheers Steve. I can’t control the weather so just get out in it regardless. I always enjoy my adventures though😬
@@BUSHMANandBLUE It’s very obvious that you do. Your enthusiasm comes and we, at least I, can actually feel it. Blue seems to enjoy it too. Although, he didn’t seem to happy about the hail. Good job.
😂we both didn’t like the hail but he can’t stop it hitting his face like me.
Looks like some type 2 fun right there👍
Verging on type 3 😂
Another epic video al those hailstones wow they were big no matter what the weather throws at you u still have a big smile on your face just love watching your videos absolutely brilliant can't wait for next one xx
Smiles help everything 😬. Thanks Sandra.
It's called a health insurance card - literally. Normally not for much use, but it came into it's own this time ;)
Great video and glad the tent stood out the weather.
Kind regards.
It's amazing how fast you put that tent up
Practice 😂😂😂
Another fantastic video 😊
wow they were horrendous conditions, looked awesome though , those hailstones were epic , looking forward to watching in 2023
It was pretty wild up there😂
YES!! We’ve been waiting for some nasty weather camps! These are the best (as long as you stay safe of course)!
😂 thanks I think 😂😂😂
Bushman and blue at their best in terrible weather…. It’s going to be a good winter!!
It definitely is my friend… it definitely is😬👊
Taking that card for insurance sure did work 😁
Great job taking the second pole set - that tent looked bomb proof despite the flapping. No flapping from Blue though - he chilled all the way through it.
Exactly that. Flapping doesn’t hurt and the tent stood strong👍
I'm going to start using your first crazy weather camp video of the season to mark the point when Winter officially starts 😂.
Epic video as usual!
😂😂😂 I think it’s coming😂😂😂. Thanks Rach as always 😬
Brilliant as always Al!!
Luxury! Sure beats a weekend by the fire with a beer watching the tele! Loved it and Blue is amazing. What a softie he is!
😂’luxury’ reminds me of the four Yorkshire men sketch. Definitely worth a watch.
@@BUSHMANandBLUE Aye. Yer right there lad! And if you tell the kids today, they won’t believe yer-now then! Keep em comin!
Another great vid Al, tent looked solid for the conditions. Have never double poled my Abisko Lite 2 yet. Made my Sunday night👍👍 love the wise words.
Great tent and double poles definitely add that safety👍👍👍
