EXTREME Frozen Solo Winter Bivi Camp
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 20 ก.ย. 2024
- My first trip out in my Rab Storm bivi on a solo wild camp on the West Pennine Moors. Walked from home on a changeable spring day that ended up looking like full winter conditions on Great Hill at 1250ft asl. Stunning views to the mountains of Snowdonia and an amazing sunset and sunrise. Only my second ever bivi camp but really enjoyed it.
Many thanks for watching - Dave

I’m gonna stick my neck out and say this is the best bivi camping video I’ve seen on TH-cam. This camp looked perfection. I’m extremely envious. Thanks for sharing mate.
Massive thanks Paul, really appreciate your kind words🙏🏻. ATB - Dave
@@TheSoloSummiteer yes yes yes - I love a bivvi - I love an early morning, but this is just so lovely!
Respect Paul for commenting another content creators video as I totally understand that must be hard when keeping on top of your own incredibly successful channel. ATB Tom
@@TOMHEANEY100 cheers Tom. Got to give credit where it’s due. I still watch plenty of TH-cam as for me it’s replaced regular TV. I also learn a great deal too.
Its great to see you back out but I think I'll stick to a tent
haha same!
Every bloke in their 40's feeling your pain on having to pee at 1am....lol
😁😎👍
Spare a thought for us girls!!! 🥶
@@nicolab2075 ha ha yep even trickier good point!!!!
Even for us 64 year olds up 3 times 🦵
@@Yorkshiremadmick it must increase 1 time per decade, in my 50's and i am 2per night.
That's like waking up on the Hoth system.
Brave man, bivvy in those conditions. Tent for me.
This is what the bivvy was designed for
Great video mate and that's a winter wild camp by any standards 😅
Aye 🥶😁👍
Thank you !..
Just found this video! Absolutely awesome 😍
Cheers Joan. Glad you enjoyed it 👍😎
Loved this Dave
🙏🏻
I've just seen this. I agree with Mr Messner...it's a belting video. Thank you!
I'm just working my way through your back catalogue here .. awesome campout I a bivvy bag . I've just bought the alpkit hulka XL ..bought the red one ..my bad . not used it yet as I'm scared cause it's winter now but soon as poss ..not as brave as yourself ..well done .. awesome work 🦸
Awesome pictures, I have bivi's, but for winter, I use a tent,, found your video looking for reviews of the Rab bivi, answers the question about condensation!
That was awesome, beautiful location too

Insane weather that for April 😱.... can’t see me in a Bivi though mate... everything like getting changed, keeping you bag & boots dry , having a pee 🤣.... all looks to restricted for me, I was curious but you’ve made my mind up😂... I’ll be sticking to my Lanshan & cloudpeak.. both palatial 😂👍🏻.
Great film & what a morning!! Wow!🌞🌞
Great vid matey
Inspirational. Total solitude.

Stunning conditions for it. Much better to wake up to snow than the rain that was predicted.
Absolutely Kev 🥶👍😎
Another great vid. The quality of cinematography and audio is really excellent.
Wow.....
There’s just something about your videos that captures a lovely balance of great cinematography, sound, music, location and weather. You certainly landed lucky with the late snow and clear morning, stunning. I love Great Hill, Belmont and Winter Hill, my local places too which made this one all the more special. Thanks again!
I want a better bivvy. I’ve got a few types but want just one that’s perfect for me. Brilliant camp Dave cheers
Thanks, man 👍
Great video mate well done and thanks for sharing
Another good one. 👍
I was thinking to myself why would you want to put yourself through that ,sleeping in a bag essentially in the snow , but then when you wake up to a landscape like that it must make it all worthwhile . Lovely video again thanks for your time and effort .
The best experiences in life often don’t come without a bit of effort, and sometimes even a bit of suffering. So glad you enjoyed it Wendy, and appreciate your comments 😎👍
👌👌👌👍...... Brilliant, absolutely Brilliant. I could watch these all day everyday.
Big thanks Kevin 🙏🏻👍
This looks like one of those days when you just want to keep wandering and not go back inside... I'm Norwegian and I absolutely love those crisp, clear and cold winter days! Even in April 😊. I truly enjoyed this video, so beautiful.
Thank you Anett 🙏🏻
Awesome video, thanks
Hey Dave, I do remember watching this one before when you first put it out. It really is so beautiful up there. I mountain bike there alot, and Ive never seen such a beautiful sunrise, it was stunning.
I watched all your local walks during lockdown, and you really kept me going . Those days thankfully are far behind us. You are an inspiration to so many of us Dave.
Still number one ❤
Haha. Thanks Keren. That’s was an amazing trip to Great Hill. Had it all to myself and then the snow came in the night. So beautiful. If I remember correctly it was in April, too.
@@TheSoloSummiteer yes, you said it was April at the end. I guess it was a good test of your gear 👍
Fantastic ! Really enjoyed that . Thanks .
Ace vid :)
Superb Dave🥶🥶👍👍👍 always an enjoyable watch.. I look forward to the next one👍👍
Superb video Sir. That wee bivy bag earned its stripes.........tremendous adventure.........thats what its about, ace 👏
Last gasp of winter! Great scenery well captured. Yeah a hooped bivvi would be more comfortable. The snow transforms everything.
My wife said, "Like a walk in heaven." That was very special to watch, thanks for sharing it with us.
🙏🏻
Great video Dave
Stunning, I once walked from Rivington Pike did 20 miles with my ex girlfriend (who apperently knew where she was going) after 2 pubs stops, ending up thigh deep in a bog we had to camp in a farmers field because we spent too long in the pubs and it was 11 at night in December so farmers field in Horwich it was🤣🤣.we passed through great hill on the way. the West pennine moors certainly have some charm and alot of Bogs! Great upload as per usual.
Wow, that was a bit different, loved every minute of it, thank you. Just stunning
You did well to brave those conditions in a bivvy cracking spot though 👍👍
Great video Dave ill stick to my tent.👍
One word.....Respect.....Bivvy'ing in "winter" !
Looking back would you do it again or take a tent.
I bought(yet to use it) the Snugpak Ionasphere, a compromise between a bivvy and a tent.
Cracking camp, definitely counts as a winter one!
Worth it for that sunset I would say ..
Stunning camp Dave , yes i agree a winter camp .. Hardcore in the bivi , I normally use mine in me single skin shelter to stop condensation dripping on my down bag lol . atb Dave
Awesome, great video
mental Dave ....... but magic too mate. Many thanks.
My boots always come inside my shelter with me. If ever they were to stay outside they would be sheltered from the elements.
Great vid.
Another belting vid Dave, and what a sunrise in those awesome conditions 👌
What a great way to spend a night in the hills.
Lucky boy great weather timeing
A few tips for biviing.
In cold temps put boots in side bivi bag to stop them freezing.
Duvet bootie.
Duvet trousers.
Strong water bottle with hot water in a thick sock for extra heat.
That bivi bag would be better for nights when you can you can sleep with your head out.
Hope that's helpful.
Just saying
Thanks for the tips Michael 😎👍
really enjoyed keep em coming.
What an adventure mate👏your best yet in my opinion 👍
Instructional and a great pleasure to watch. Thanks, mate!

Great video! Really enjoyed it. Waking up to snow around you there's nothing like it! Keep them coming.
I’ve just come back to this video Dave. It’s amazing. Agree with PM, best bivvy video I’ve seen. I love the music you use at the end 👍
love the old tracks old walls years and years old
What a wonderful campout and spectacular morning hike. Thanks for taking the time to film and share it with us! :) :)
Thank you Jacqueline. So glad you enjoyed it 😎👍
Those boots looked narsty! Top commitment setting out in the initial forecast. Glad it turned out better for you.
Great video Dave. That looked like an epic night out.
Awesome, that looked extreme. What an experience.
Great video. Awesome to know you don’t have to be in places like the lakes to get out. This is very local to me and I will be for sure planning something!
Probably watched this 10 over a few months. Thanks for the videos, Damon Hill ;)
Oh my God !! looked absolutely FREEZING... Too hard core for me for sure... Def cudnt do that mate lol well done
Very nice, I would say definitely a winner camp! Thanks for sharing Dave.
I enjoyed watching that - cheers
Great to see you back out and about Dave ,missed your adventures during lockdown, stay safe Jim
Really enjoyable film, thanks for sharing
Fantastic video, as always (I'm slowly catching up on my TH-cam channel updates over the past few months!). Best wishes, looking forward to your upcoming vids - Alistair (Llanelli, south Wales). PS - It's pronounced: Moil Sha-bod ;)
Big thanks Alistair 😎👍. Apologies for the mispronunciation 😊 🙏🏻 ATB Dave
Enjoyed the video although bivi and snow not for me , i can see why you and others enjoy it . I,m more of a fair weather hiker/camper myself cheers:) .
Great video. You lucky sod to have that transformation in weather. First time I’ve come across you but looking forward to seeing more of your videos. Thanks for sharing. 👍
Cheers Darren 👍😎
Excellent trip! Loved it.
Really enjoyed this, thanks for taking the time to do it. Never looked at my one man tent as being luxurious before but now ive seen this!
Good bivi video really enjoyed it. Lovely sun set filming. I think I will stick to a tent for my adventures in the outdoors especially in winter.
No worries Dave you are definitely getting well back up to speed, this is a fantastic video. I like the way you are just 'grabbing the bull by the horns' with this bivi camping, sussing it out as you go and also sharing with us at the same time. Brilliant, good on you and many thanks
Top video, Bivvys deffo need some condensation V/V in them.
Nice one Lucy 😎👍
bivy looks a misery 😂 eyyy though nice too see you're a local lad I'm probably not far from you myself
Another cracking video Dave! All the best
No signs of rustiness in my opinion! Another cracking video. Thanks for sharing, Dave
You're crazy but at the same time you're video's are inspiring. I was trail running up near Winter Hill on that Sunday morning and what a day it was!! Great video Dave, keep them coming man! 👍🏃♂️🙂😎
This is a great little video, perfect timing for the weather, but hot food and drink is absoluteiy essential in
these conditions.
Cheers Jim. Glad you enjoyed it 😎👍. ATB - Dave
Great video buddy, you've got what it takes. All the best, safe travels. Jack.
Big thanks Jack 😎👍
The way you capture sunrises is off the chart! Absolutely loved this. Great stuff.

😋😎👍
Love the nuttiness of this idea! It was a fascinating, amusing watch!
Thanks Olga 😎👍
What a stunning location, great video. I really enjoy your channel
I have bought bivi and watching this itching to get out to try it out. Thanks for sharing
Nice one David. Good luck 😎👍
This is my stomping ground buddy. What a camp it looked awesome. It can get a bit crazy up great hill and had many brews in that stone cross out the elements.
Nice one 😎👍
Just found this channel. Brilliant.
Superb again mate 👍
What a cracking vid. The colours at sunrise were breathtaking Dave, it shows the beauty of the moors in cold weather, even captured the cloud inversion. This is right up there with your best material 👍👏👏
Really appreciate that Dave 👍🙏🏻
Top Camp! that Bivvy looked snug! and what a beautiful morning :)

Great video Dave and what a morning 😱
M&S best porridge in the world
