have one on me bro, thank you and cheers.
Thank you so much my friend. Massively appreciated 👊
Blue need goggles
How do you buy you a pint & a chew for blue,as I bought one on the 1st episode of your 2 day snowstorm & don't think it went through
Thanks for the info at the start about what crampons you carry- thats exactly the info I was looking for! I want to get into winter hill camping in the lakes/ Scotland this year and am trying to figure which micros spikes/ crampons to go for!? I've actually just bought the kahtoola Kts crampons but I was wondering if they will be over kill for some situations, and whether it might be best to carry the microspIkes ASWELL.. From what you say it seems this is what you do too!? Ps I'm close to buying you and blue a beer. Lol
I love videos where dogs are well taken care of
I love my dog🥰
Dog is god spelt backwards 😊
Inspirational. I'm 36 years old and I spend 75% of my life sedentary - working on a laptop. I think it's making me depressed. These videos are inspiring me to recognise that this is no way to live. A lot of what you say about getting out there really resonates with me.
I have to say that you’re on the cusp of a life changing decision. No one wants depression or a sedentary lifestyle. It goes against our nature so worth considering a better way of living. I purposely never went in to an office job for that reason. Well done for recognising the issue just try act on those thoughts and get out more mate👍👍👍
I was the same bro, depressed, unhappy, after watching bushman and blue along with a couple of other youtubers I knew I had to follow suit. I went to the bank borrowed 5 grand and kitted myself and my little rescue dog Ruby out with all the gear my favourite youtubers use and went to some of the places they have been. I messaged a youtuber and asked for a good location for a first time wild camp. I arrived at hallin fell around 10:30 Christmas day, hiked to the top of the mountain put my tent up and stayed there for the next few days. the wind was unbelievable you could hear it howling down the valley then there would be 4/5 seconds of silence then the wind hit . I can't actually articulate how intense (excuse the pun) it was to be in a tent on a mountain in them conditions . I'm totally hooked . I've literally just returned home from 5 days in the Peak District and had the time of my life with my little dog.i got home about a hour ago seen bushman had a new video out so I started watching so I could drop a comment and thank him for the gift he's given me now and until the day I physically can't get out there. its changed my life. I maybe in 5 grands worth of debt but its 5 grand I'll happily pay back. so please bro get out there and start living. thank you bushman and blue dog . God bless the two of you.
Wow well that’s the stories I want to hear and be part of the positivity. A simple life choice and obviously instantly you feel the benefits from getting out there in nature. It does become a happy place away from our usual grind. Positive escapism👊. All the best my friends!
Al
@@martyl425 Thank you for your wonderful tale. I know I just need to take the plunge! I wish I had a dog.. seems like it might be lonely without one. Congratulations on this new chapter.
Just a couple of tips if 5 grand sounds heavy.
• Buy used gear, you can shave off 50%.
• Smaller things like gloves, etc. can also be bought from military surplus stores, while the Big 4 can be bought from reputable brands.
Blue's face with the water was fantastic.
In my seventies now and banged up from arthritis, but I still dream of all those glorious days and nights (and handsome young men) spent in the grand outdoors. My dogs are now little lap dogs. Gone are the days of lifting my big Keeshonds, but watching you and Blue brings all those wonderful memories racing back. Sometimes, I can shut my eyes and am almost on the side of a mountain with you two. Thank you.
You and Blue have the absolute, without a doubt, best outdoor-camping-hiking channel on TH-cam. I would love to buy you a coffee or two (or something stronger) and Blue lots of treats.
Thank you for hours of enjoyment and sweet memories,
Dr. Lyn from Atlanta, Georgia USA
Wow thank you😊. I’m glad you get to relive some outdoor adventures and memories. Dogs are just brilliant companions and I’m glad you appreciate it. 👍👍👍
Reading this made me teary-eyed. Thanks
Amazing!
I totally agree Dr Lyn Walden These are fantastic videos. I am in my early 60's and thankfully still fit enough to fell walk
Get out as much as you can 😀
Blue is a very good boy! I wouldn't trust my spaniel for 5 seconds off the lead with sheep around! He shows such dogged determination to have a good time😂😂😂
On the subject of water - "Whats up,not good enough for ya? it didn't come out of a manky puddle or a bog?" lol Blue is an amazing dog :) never fails to make me smile.
He’s definitely a dog made for the outdoors 😂😂😂
TH-cam content like this is why I dont watch TV anymore! Thanks for another fantastic video. Inspirational and I'm sure it will help a lot of folks. I went on a hike this morning on the southwest coast path. I was there for sunrise, it was uplifting. Simple things in life are best.
Lovely time to get out especially because generally you’ll be the only one out👍👍👍. Thanks mate much appreciated
Fantastic. Like being in heaven.no people. Blue loves it.
Your dog is stunning and so loyal
FOOD. LOOKS. DELICIOUS.
One of the best camping vloggers around . Entertaining and informative at the same time, love the wild weather stuff.
Cheers chief 👊.
🥰🥰🥰 who else loves blue 🥰🥰🥰
A year later and I'm playing & enjoying this again. Love watching blue's complete enjoyment, from leading the hike, rolling in the tufts of grass, drinking and eating and his awesome facial expressions. Dogs show us the way to live life fully.
CUTE. DOG.
“One life. Wise choices. Make it good”. Absolutely 100% right, Al. These videos, as the comments say below, really make a difference to peoples lives & their choices. I know they are for me. I’m struggling at the moment mental health wise but these videos truly are a part of my therapy. Thank You 🙏 Al & Blue 🐾
Well I hope I’m helping people out even if just a little. Like your quote above, just giving words people can repeat to themselves is definitely a positive. All the best to you my friend and keep moving because if you stop you don’t see what’s round the corner.
Blue is cutie pie
GREAT. CAMPING.
Blue is such a cute cute Dog....so handsome dog😍🐶
I love how blue is such a good boy .. and puts on his backpack 🎒
He is an awesome dog and does his fair share in the pack🥰
Woo yeah time to get cozy 🥰💙
Hahaha, when you said Alexa 8 minutes timer. My Alexa responded 8 mins starting now 😅🤣
"I've whipped my trousers off" he says with that accent
Me: 😮❤😅
😂😂😂

Blues a cosy blankly love it ❤❤❤
You have become my favorite new channel. I love how chill you and Blue are. Such a perfect match.

Keep up the great work! Your channel will continue to grow because you are such a genuine guy! Much love from the USA!!! ❤️🥰😉
Thank you 😊. I’m glad you appreciate my channel and what I’m doing. I’m definitely hoping to inspire more and more people to get outside and enjoy their lives that touch more👍👍👍
Blue is such a brilliant companion, great videos.
What an amazing and beautiful dog he's a credit to you
Worth training them early 😉
You have a really special dog in Blue, you are a very lucky guy.
He definitely is top dog👊
I enjoy your videos. You given me more inspiration to do what you doing
What a beautiful and well behaved dog Blue is.
He really is! We are a good team.
100% agree
Always make your wee dog happy, otherwise their eyes will kill you.
They are experts at that
😂yes they are good at manipulating. I just pretend to be asleep😂😂😂
NICE. TENT.
🥶🥶🥶. BRRR! Blue is such a trooper...a true outdoors dog! He is so well trained and behaved he is such fun to watch. 👍❤️
Yes he’s an amazing dog! 🥰
You just set my alexa on an 8 minute timer! 😂
Your vids are great , and blue is awesome
Thought you look sad and i hope you are OK
Big up from France.
Ever the pro Top Filming in that weather Al love how ya dry Blue n get him sorted b4 ya even take ya pack off 👌👌
Thanks mate! I have to look after my boy😊
Mate, seeing you and your bond with Blue just gives inspiration to go out and life this life side by side with nature.
I just came back from little hike here in Ireland and I'll position myself nice and comfy and with cuppa, enjoy your video until end. Never stop creating and never stop living the way you do! ❤️😊
Cheers mate much appreciated 👊. I’m hoping to inspire others to get out more😊
@@BUSHMANandBLUE I'm sure you're successfully doing just that :)
I'm now in my 80swith a terminal lung condition so basically grounded, but I used to do what you do - used to teach aircrew survival and spent 10 years in the Cairngorm Mountain Rescue team, part of it as Deputy Team Leader. Happy days, but tough at times. Really enjoy your adventures and thoroughly approve of your sage advice to others about being prepared. Good onyer.
Well you’ve made some great memories and used your body fully which many never do. Good luck with it all and keep doing what you can. All love mate.
😳😳😳Extreme that Al 👍👍👍👌
@BUSHMANandBLUE
*Do you want to know why I Love your YT videos so much ??*
*Because, you TALK to your "Video Audience" all the time,,, and you make us feel so so Welcomed.* 👍👍
*I watch these (other) Tent Camping Videos where these Campers....DON'T Say A Word....all throughout their*
*Camping ordeal.*
*Talk about being BORED Stiff with me watching those (other) Solo Campers's Videos..*
*But you, BUSHMAN,,, you Talk to us like Campers should. -- Never Stop conversating with us TH-cam viewers. 😀 😀
Well my friend I hope I can keep going and bringing people along for the adventure 😬👊
Now the one life message is uber pertinent .Al my friend. When we can lose loved ones in a fraction of a second we must make the most of everything 💥💥
Absolutely! We all should try do more in life that is fun and enjoyable 👍
In cold temperature settings, to place in your camping accessory kit, get some hand warmers, great addition for your gloves and place a few in your bedding keeps you warm as well.
Yes could be a life saver too👊
terrific video. inspirational
Hi . Thanks for your great videos . You are quickly becoming my favourite. Regards
😂 hopefully I’ll make it to be your favourite 👊
ALL BEST VIDEO ,
I see you succumbed to the "dark side" with the walking poles Al. 🤣🤣 Another great and inspiring video. BTW - how old is Blue? He's such a good companion, and tough as nails.
He’s 7. They don’t come out often😂
Another fantastic video Al, so kind of you to be a camerman for all Blue's adventures. You deserve so many more subscribers!!
😂 that’s it mate I’m just a cameraman 😂
Amazing video, thanks 🙏
Oh... and I ADORE Blue wrapped up in his foil blanket. That is just BLISS 💕
I love blues eyes fantastic
They are penetrating for definite! He’s a pretty boy🥰
I am loving these videos. You have one very lucky pooch
Cheers mate. We both love the adventure 👊
@@BUSHMANandBLUE meant to ask, what do you use over your GoPro for audio?
I made a little dead cat over the two mics but they do work too well. When I can afford it I’ll buy a decent mic👍👍👍
@@BUSHMANandBLUE I actually thought you were lucky to have Blue I wish my dogs were so well behaved, he seems a great dog!
I’ve put a lot of time in to his training but as you can see it pays off. I walked 21 miles the other day with a few friends over 10 mountains and never gave him one command all day. Worth training them well for an easy life!
Love the outdoors an im lucky enough to work outside love my costal walking in north Wales
Blue is the best lad , great video , mind yourself :)
Good beard
Absolutely brilliant, I love your channel, thanks for sharing.
Thanks Kim 😊
Good job you have the dog to show you the way all the time.
That’s his place in the pack😉
Amazing Video mate👍👍👍
Blue always makes me feel like everything is going to be ok.
😂😂😂 he’s definitely a calming influence 😊
Brilliant video love the effort you go to in producing this content well done . Lots to gain from this thanks👍
Thanks mate. 👊
You set my Alexa off 😂😂😂😂
Leave no trace! Think we'll all forgive that one. Brilliant as per usual ❤️
I like to imagine that blue thinks you’re crazy talking to yourself all the time 😂
He probably does 😂😂😂
Wonderfol❤
Alexa 8 minute timer!!! so my Alexa picks it up and gives me a 8 minute timer LOL
😂sorry about that
Can’t get enough of this. So inspirational and has definitely led me to make some life changes … for the better! Thank you.
Excellent mate! We can all do better in life👍👍
Too true, the Lakes are very much like that. Always heed the mountain weather forecast before you set out, and also, tell someone where you're going and about what time you'll be back. I've seen people on high mountains in flip-flops. Take the right gear for virtually everything. Really enjoyed every minute of this, and the time seem to fly by. Most enjoyable mountain videos I've ever seen, so thank you.
Thanks mate. I’ve seen the flip flop thing too! Maybe in perfect summer weather some outdoor sandals but not flip flops.
Top Tip: instead of using the food packs as a bin bag I’m re-use them to contain my home cocked food after dehydrating it. My DIY trekking meal so to say.
Interesting 👍
Epic!
I’d be interested in seeing a video on how you get all that gear into such a small pack. Absolutely love your channel mate. Such an inspiration to get me off my ass and out into the hills. Love it
Keep getting your ass out😂
If I get that thing out everyone else will go home !! 😂
Loving your videos. As people have said very inspirational. Take care both of you
This one is one of my favs which I keep returning to. I dunno if it's the sunshine on the snowy mountains/hills and rocks, the incredible cold and wind, the twinkle in Blue's eye or Bushmans steady commentary providing a calm and awsm narration. It's time for me to get out into nature again and breathe in the frosty, stormy winter weather :) Thx for making your videos!
Brilliant mate I’m glad you appreciate it. Definitely get out in winter for some adventures. There is nowt better than a still crisp frozen morning👍
Perfect viewing for a Sunday evening. Your videos fill the void created by the cancellation of Last of the Summer Wine! Keep doing what you're doing - inspirational stuff!
😂wow if I can do half as good entertainment as last of the summer wine I’ll be a happy man. Cheers mate!
I think blue noticed your bag cover blow away @ 49minutes, barking then makes a move to go after it!!! great video, im just finding your video's and have been enjoying them ! good stuff buddy !!
😂 yes he did. I cut out 20seconds there where he actually ran for it. If I realised I think I could have got him to fetch it👌
@@BUSHMANandBLUE Hahah - he's a smart dog! He's got your back =)
Wow! Wow!Wow another brilliant video.👍👍👍👍👍👍
Fantastic. Am loving the snow!
Another great video Al. Well done to you and blue.
Just brilliant .thank you al
Another great video to finish off the week Al. Probably one of the prettiest sunsets I had ever seen absolutely beautiful. A turn of events in the morning though! Glad yourself and Blue got down alright. Look forward to the next adventure!
It was a lovely evening although breezy was very calming. 👊
Great blog as always. Love these extreme outgoings, keep it up and stay safe
Thanks once again Al and Blue 👌👌👌
Excellent video again Al, thanks for sharing.
Deep snow and freezing rain on the way here, so just like every other day, the dog has to go out for a spin. Really enjoy these winter camp outs Al. You make it look so easy but I've been there and it's bloody hard work a lot of times.
Yes it’s definitely tougher that you think out there but always worth the effort👍👍👍
Class as always. Love it Al
Yes !!! Another winter camp !!!
What another excellent watch, 👌
Blue needs another dog to play with😁
Another quality vid. That sunset...wow!
I almost feel like I am there with you and Blue. How I love space and the great outdoors. You manage to bring it into my home every time I watch these vids. Love ‘em.Best on TH-cam without a doubt. Thanks a million!
Cheers Pete appreciated 👊
just brilliant
Bloody hell mate looks extreme even by your standards 😫 Glad you and Blue got off safely 👍
Your vlogs are truly inspirational mate... yet again an epic. Fantastic....thank you.
Amazing camping
Great film again Al, still pushing the boundaries and producing new interesting content 😃 loved the look in Blue’s face behind you as you waved your biscuit around in front of his eyes 🤣
😂 he always adds those special looks in my videos. Cheers Nick 👊
I was hoping Blue was going to take the biscuit.
@@taffman1 ah he always takes the biscuit one way or another 😂
😂😂😂
good sound advice. brilliant photography. great work. keep enjoying yourself :)
That fjällräven tent seems to hold up great in extreme conditions. Great episode again!

Your absolutely nuts, but your also absolutely inspirational mate, another fantastic video from you and blue, thanks 🙏 for the pleasure of this watch, your becoming a legend 👍
Not quite a legend but one day maybe 😂 cheers pal.
The funniest part was when you were eating your soft bake and Blue was watching in the background 😂 Boss video mate, look forward to the next one.
😂he always has such expressions 👍
Fair play to you and blue. awesome video again. Thanks and stay safe.
