      Cheers Dan. The Xmid is one incredibly designed tent and congratulations on it. It performed so well. Just in love with it. Here's to many more wild camps in the future 💪🤙🙂

      I'd love it if you sold your tents in Europe! They look awesome!

      @@whatsnottohike Thanks for the kind words. We mostly sell through our website rather than retailers to keep the prices low, but we do ship to Europe regularly (every day) and we have low cost shipping for that. The taxes are roughly the same either way.

      Cheers mate. Yeah this was one special night. Really enjoyed it. Really looking forward to seeing you back on the trail man. Hope the back is healing. Yes it didn't even enter my mind to not put the rocks back. If you love this place, leave no trace. 🤙💪 Cheers for the comment pal.

    Martin, agree that Temple Hill is a nightmare with an ordinary day pack👍 A nice bit of shelter at the cairn to use that cool looking new Stanley cup (and hip flask). Always cool to be under a clear sky full of stars🌟 That was an absolutely beautiful morning with that frosty landscape above the cloud inversion. Super cool to watch the sun☀ coming up on the horizon. A hot cuppa must be the ultimate thing to have when out wild camping☕ Always good to be out and that looked like a way cool adventure👍

      Thanks Gerry. It was such a cold fresh night. The rum really did help. That morning sunrise was one in a million. It was just incredible how cold, fresh and stunning it was. Makes it all worthwhile as you know. Very impressed by that Stanley cup. Keeps drinks super warm. Thanks for the comment Gerry. As always Thanks for the support. 🙂

    Great video. Thats one hell of a scene to wake up to! Makes it all worthwhile. I like the look of that Columbia jacket, looked like it was reflective inside? Looked bloody feeezing but great to see someone put their gear to the extremes they are rated at. The durston looked amazing in that setting, im torn between one of those or a Bonfus one, who are italian so would save on postage. Thanks for a super video,cant wait to be back in ireland, hopefully later in 2024 ill be back over. All the best. Martin.

    Cracking video man! What a spot! You must sleep warm. I know now from winter camping that I sleep very cold and to sleep comfortably, I would need to factor in at least ten degrees Celsius more than what is forecast and choose my sleep system accordingly. I am planning to try thermal stacking by putting a quilt over/inside my Rab Ascent 900 or failing that getting a dedicated winter bag.
