"Relaxing" River Side Peak District Wild Camp - Helm Compact 2
So, this is one wild camp that did NOT go to plan at all. It was planned to be a nice relaxing river side camp in the Peak District with my superb Helm Compact 2 as I have not been out in this tent for a good while now.
The tent performed very well as always but other things did not go to plan at all and.... well you'll just have to see what happened.
Thank you as always for clicking on my video and watching, I truly do appreciate your time! 🙏
Keep looking after yourselves everyone and keep enjoying the great outdoors.
ATB... Chris

Chris these Ridge Wallet's look awesome mate! I have actually seen these before on Instagram and was going to treat myself, was just trying to decide what colour 😂 Will definitely get one now using your link and the keycase too that looks really tidy 👌🏻 Ad looked very professionally done to you showed it well 👏🏻
@@shanewhitehouse4171 Thanks so much... you will love it 🙏🏼❤️
Gutted about the drone pal 😪😪😪 nice spot for a camp, and the wallet and key holder look pretty cool bits of kit 👌 catch you soon bro, atb Paul 🙏⛺️⛺️⛺️😁
Alright Paul... I know man was propper gutted. But, never say never 😏
Honestly, 17 years of hiking and some tasty scrambles over the years especially in Europe but I've never felt so unsafe and unstable as trying to get up that 😂 was so slippy with that green stuff especially on the wet rocks under the Heather. I was only going on a 'relaxing' low down camp so didn't even have any more technical equipment in the car or I'd have gone back. Ud get it with the right kit etc but would be interested to see what it's like in different conditions.
But yeah if you are doing something like that and sort feel comfortable or confident then it's always best to not do it in my opinion. Annoying as it is.
The Ridge Wallet is honesty a superb bit of kit! Feels so cool in your pocket and you don't even realise its there. Definitely glad I got to work with them as they are a pretty big company to be fair.
Glad you enjoyed it overall though and thanks as always for watching as always mukka 🙏🏼😊
ATB.... Chris
Hey lovely!!! I really hope you’re ok?! What a beautiful area!!! Such a stunning flat spot by the river!!
Oh no!!! Gutted your drone crashed!! What a nightmare!!! I’d absolutely love to have a drone but see so many people who lose them I think I’d be too scared to use it! Really gutted for you lovely xx
Hi Chris, I hope your well. What a lovely location, so peaceful 😊
Hi Rachel! Yes not to bad overall thank you and I hope you are well yourself 🙏🏼😊
Was pretty relaxing listening to the river while drifting off 🥰
ATB... Chris
Absolutely fantastic scenery my friend. Scenery is simply breathtaking here. 👌
Thank you my friend it was great by the river 😊🏕
Great video and thanks for the report on the RIDGE items...I'll certainly keep them in mind. Annoying about the drone ! but you did right in leaving it as you could have had a bad fall in the conditions were it was.
Superb scenery though in that spot.
Thanks!! They are actually really good, very secure and dont even realise they're in your pocket. Was honestly gutted about the drone and it looked doable from the camp side of the river but it was a different story once I tried to get it. Just couldn't get a footing anywhere, very slippy, didn't feel comfortable or confident and that's never a good thing when trying to climb.
Still had a good night though apart from that and was nice to fall asleep to the sound of the river 👍🏻
Wow atmosphere is great
Thank you it is a beautiful location 😊 😀
Cool vid mate.. just subbed you 😊
Hey mate!! THANM YOU so much glad you liked it and FYI got it back now ☺️😝
Cheers for the sub mate you are absolutely awesome 🙏🏼🙏🏼
ATB... Chris
I've just realised I've seen you before with my other channel, you did that wild camp on Bamford edge and got moved on 😊 that's what got me to try it luckily I didn't lol
Still you made it a great vid to watch
Ah no every drone parent's worse nightmare!😳😫. Gutted for you Chris! It was so close but yet so far too! We thought for sure you were going to get it back when the guy offered to stay with your tent while you tried to retrieve it, but it wasn't to be😫. You did the right thing though, no drone isnt worth risking serious injury to yourself. At least you had a great camp anyway🤩👊 🏕. It was great to see you out and about again. The key chain and wallet look cool too😊👍. Thanks for taking us along. Hope you have a great week, Shell and Pete😊👊👍

G'day mate, great video and some incredible scenery again. Take care and happy and safe travels always Chris.
G'day Bernie hope you're well sir... didn't quite go to plan this one haha but was good overall. You take care too mate 👍🏻
ATB...Chris
@@theheightoflife Doing well here Chris. Started back at work a couple of weeks ago, hoping for a busy season.
The greatest memories are often those we don't prepare for 🤣
@@adventurewithbernie lol yeah thats very true actually haha.
Oh wow! Well I really hope you have a busy and successful season then mate 🫱🏻🫲🏼🙌🏻
A wonderful pitch next to that water source, nothing worse than something going wrong on a camp. Take it easy atb Taff 🤠👊
Hi Taff it was a great little spot and really relaxing listening to the sound of the river even with the circumstances lol. No annoying but one of them things unfortunately 😢😫
Thanks so much for watching and your comment 🙏🏼👍🏻
Take care pal... Chris
Great video
Thank you!! ✌🏼
Hi Chris nice to see you fighting fit again. Lovely place there if it’s where I’m thinking lol. I was there the other week for a walk. So sorry u lost yr drone, even worse when you know it’s actual location. Looking forward to yr next trip. Maxx
Hi Maxine 😊 Thank you very much it was great to be out, even though it didn't go to plan 😫 It is a very well known are of the Peak District 🐍 so you probably are haha. Gutted about the drone and really looked like it was doable from the camp side of the river and with the right equipment would have been. Didn't feel safe at all though and felt very uncomfortable attempting which is never a good thing.
Hope to be back out very soon with better luck lol 🤞🏻
Thanks so much for watching and hope you are well 🙏🏼
ATB... Chris
Nice one Chris sorry about the drone mate good to see you out again keep on smiling 😊
The camera doesn't do the drone location or the river justice. River looks easily crossable, and the hill accessible but you wouldn't be leaving your drone if it was. On a brighter note, it looks like a great location.
Hi mate, yes I 100% agree with you! Not only that but even in person from the camp side of the river it looked very doable and thought it was going to be a simple mini scramble up the heather. Got to the other side and honestly it was completely different. Heather was just over my knee height deep in places, sometimes with deeper 'holes' the roots etc of the heather were wet and had green moss which was very slippery and couldn't get any footings. The rocks in the Heather had all that green moss / slime on them and was incredibly slippery. Tried 5 or 6 angles and got about 2 x height of my body at one of the points then came to a sticking point. Felt very unstable and unsafe and if you would have slipped you wouldn't have stopped believe me, could have hit rocks on the way down and would have definitely hit rocks in the river. Could have ended badly. The river also looked very crossable yes and I've gone through much worse especially in the Lakes, Scotland and other places in Europe. There were some parts inbetween the rocks that were about half an extended trecking pole deep and the rocks were covered in that green stuff and very slippy indeed. I wasn't bothered about getting wet at all or filling my boots with water in the morning as would only be going back to the car but in hindsight now would have made the attempt up even worse lol.
I've been hiking around 17 years and have done what look like much worse scrambles up waterfalls in the Peaks with wet rocks which have been fine and a lot worse scrambling in mountainous terrain. But like I said felt very unsafe here.
So annoying though as it seemed so close! 😫
With the right kit you could get up for sure but as I was only on a last min low down camp I never even had any technical equipment in my car.
Obviously people have been up there like Gamekeepers etc to plant the tree and pickets.
So annoying but last thing I wanted to do was break something else or hurt myself etc.
Location was great though and somewhere I have been to loads even way before this channel which I've only had for about 2 years.
Thank you so much for watching and your comment I really do appreciate your time 🙏🏼😊
ATB... Chris
I was around there last week using my drone, but in the forest. Got to be so careful with these machines, take a second of not knowing where they are and bang it is either crashed or gone forever. Mind you, made out a great cautionary tale for all of us, at your expense of course. In the end it is all about the adventure! Better luck next time my friend.
Hi mate! Thanks for clicking on my video and watching 😊🙏🏼
Yeah honestly was full on user error as they say, I quickly learnt Drones + rushing = bad ending. Have used this for a good couple of years now and had a drone before. Never crashed one. But was getting some overhead shots of the tent etc to get some different camera angles, that got done then thought hey ill do a quick dronie. Rushing and sun had already gone so light was gonna go quick I didnt double check my angle and, well that happened 🙈😂
I did since find some low quality videos in my cache which I wish I new about before uploading this as I'd have included them. There will be a short part 2 to this though with hopefully a surprise in it.... depending..
But yeah they are something that a double or triple check on your flight path is needed for sure and as you said I hope this video will jog some people's memories to do that too.
Thanks again for watching and leaving me a comment it truly is appreciated 🙏🏼 😊
ATB... Chris
@@theheightoflife Looking forward to part 2
@@mrnobodieswildcampingadventure 🙏🏼❤️🙏🏼
I was there before after watching your previous episode, fantastic place. I just hope the others will keep it that way.
Couldn't believe how much waste people leave in snake pass woodland...
Yesssiii pussycat, so sorry about your drone brother 😞 such a gutter! Glad you still had a fantastic camp mate, great video & great to see you outdoors doing what you do best! Much love my brother 💙
Alright Adam me old mukka!! Thanks mate it was a good camp overall, got to have a beer with an awesome guy who has watched my videos too and can't thank him enough for his help in the morning 🙏🏼
Was honestly gutted about the drone though, actually feel sad thinking of it there lonely in the heather 😢 lol. From the camp side of the river it looked so doable but was a different story when I started to try. Reckon you'd do it with the right equipment but I didn't even have any technical kit in my car this time as was only planning on going low down half hour away from the car.
Was great to be out though and really hope we can rearrange our camp again soon mate 👍🏻
Unlucky with the drone Chris. I know the feeling 🤦🏻♂️. ATB - Dave
Cheers Dave.. so annoying and honestly thought I would have got it back especially from the camp side of the river 😫
Thanks so much for watching 🙏🏼❤️
ATB... Chris
Hello
Happy always
Absolute nightmare mate. Must of been gutted to leave it there. Sorry I'm not a bit closer to go retrieve it for you mate.
Not many people make videos when stuff goes wrong so hats off to you.
All the best Chris.
Yeah mate was so gutted really loved that drone 😔 thank you so much for the offer though that's really kind of you mate. It really did throw me out with my filming etc but still wanted to try and put something together.
Thank you and hope you're well mate 🙏🏼❤️👍🏻☺️
Great camp location Chris. Gutted for you losing the drone mate. You handled it well though. Well done mate 👍
Thanks Joe was a great little location and last minute planned camp to 'relax'. I learned that Drones + rushing = bad ending. Was chasing day light and was trying to get multiple angles, obviously didn't double check the angle properly and didn't realise how steep it got quickly. Gutted though really liked that drone 😢
Thanks for watching though always very much appreciated 🙏🏼 👍🏻 😀
ATB... Chris
Oh mate can't believe that happened 🙈 I know cameras never do anything justice and know you would have got it back if you could have. Do you reckon you could have had more chance underfoot with Microspikes?
Those Ridge Wallets look awesome and was actually looking at them before on Instagram! So if I get one now I will get it using your link 👍🏻👍🏻
What you gling to do now then?
Thanks for sharing as always Chris 😊
Haha mate I know 😢 trust me from the side of the river camp was it looked very doable even in person. But when I finally got to the other side it looked waaaay steeper and yeah with the Heather roots, rocks and wet moss was very slippery!! Not even sure if Microspikes would have been enough you know, if you did end up slipping you'd be straight down into the river, could hot rocks on the way down and definitely hit them in the river. Didn't feel sensible at all to attempt more than I did. Even the chap the other side said he could tell how steep it was with the perspective of me trying to get up.
Sp annoying but would rather be safe, not break anything else or hurt myself.
Obviously people must have been up there to plant the trees and pickets and could with right equipment but as it was only a low down camp I didn't take any technical kit.
The Ridge Wallet and KeyCase are really good mate. Honestly I've been using them all week and so surprised how light they are and you don't even notice them. Definitely superb EDC kit 👌🏻
Thank you for watching and an awesome comment as always Shane really appreciate it 😀 🙏🏼
ATB... Chris
Oh and not sure what I'm gonna do atm lol 😆
@@theheightoflife Yeah mate cameras never do anything justice and I'm sure there are people on here that will be like "if I was there I'd have done this or that" or "it looked very easy on camera" but they weren't there. We all know you wouldn't just leave a 500 pound drone up there for fun!
Gotta be safe out there man and don't wana be involving emergency services to try and get a drone.
Will definitely check out the ridge wallet 👍🏻
@@theheightoflife Good luck Chris hope you sort one 👍🏻
Hi Chris, well that would have completely freaked me out to loose the drone.😱
Anyway it would have been a nice video if it wasn't for that. Thats bloody upset me now.
Doh.
All the best to you Chris and see you on the hill.
Tek care 🙏👍🍻
Hi Dave! 👋🏻
Yeah mate it was hard to try and concentrate on the video after with doing my food etc it kinda threw me out with all that. Was honestly gutted, I know it sounds weird but feel sad thinking of the drone there now on its own stuck in the heather 😢 really wish I could get it back even if the weather had now made it not work. Will still see what I can do.
Still enjoyed being out though and thank you so much for watching and the kind words 🙏🏼
Look after yourself pal and hope you have a great week 👍🏻
ATB... Chris
Fancy losing your drone mate gutted for you pal 😩🙄 looked a beaut little camp tho mate am back out this weekend coming first wild camp on a very long time and video 😂
Haha I know mate ... Hope you have an awesome camp when you finally get back out! Thanks for watching pal 😃🙏🏼👍🏻
Ah, mate, that's rubbish. I know how you must be feeling losing the drone. Great location for a camp, I keep meaning to go there myself one day. Look forward to the next video and hope you manage to get a new drone sorted.
Hi mate... yeah I'm honestly so gutted really love that drone. Really wish I could get it back even if it doesn't work. It's great round there but don't go near the Snake Woodlands close to the car park, sometimes ends up like Glastonbury and you get some right tits go there. Definitely keep walking closer to where I was or beyond some great little spots.
Thanks mate hope to get out again soon and I'll think what to do about the drone 👍🏻
ATB mate and thanks for watching... Chris 👍🏻🙏🏼
Hi again Chris. It is a nice location for sure, it’s just a shame people feel the need to have fires and scar the ground, just no need for it at all!
I’ve passed up camping there twice now because of the fire pits all around the place, and it’s popularity with other campers.
Feel totally gutted for you about your drone!
I even saved that Ariel picture from your last camp, with me camping further up behind those rocks when you said hi to me from the air.. Hope you have better luck on your next one.
Atb Scott
Hi Scott! Yeah it is beautiful round there, or I at least try to keep seeing the beauty beyond the mess. Honestly mate everytime I go there I leave aggravated with what I see. Not sure if you saw my 'short' the other day but that was recorded on the way back. Have a look at the vid before this one if you haven't its under 60 seconds. Wish id have caught them!! 🤬
Another thing too is it can end up like Glastonbury especially closer to the Snake Woodlands, that's why I go further up but even then sometimes people turn up.
So gutted about the drone mate actually feel sad thinking of it up there on its own lol. Hope you like the picture mate but if you want a better quality copy or anything email me with the email in the 'about' section on here or send me your email on a text, you got my number. I'll send you over some. Will try to get another done if I can cus even if I got this back now I don't reckon it would work with the weather etc its probably had.
Thanks mate me too and we can arrange something soon too 👍🏻
Take it easy mate...
Chris
@@theheightoflife Thanks Chris, very good of you to offer about the pics!
Yeah sure, we will have to arrange something soon when it starts getting a little warmer for the motorbikes, or indeed another catch-up camp..
Yep I saw your last short video, I did comment and you also replied to my comment on that one, although you probably didn’t realise it was me as I didn’t put my name at the end of that comment lol.
@@Ash12530 So you did haha... you know what as soon as I saw your name 'Scoot' on here I recognised you straight away and knew it was you on that video too, but for some reason forgot 😂 Think I've replied to that many over the two videos last few days and on Instagram too ive forgot who I've messaged 😂😂
Yeah we will arrange something for sure 👍🏻😁🏍💨🏕
Yes in the wood/forest where I was filming last week with the drone, found loads of these fire scars to the land. The problem is that there is a carparking area across the road (snake pass) and entrance to the wood/forest and a little walk. Any place where humans can get easy access with a little walk, you will find fire vandalism. I made a rant video about this and the consequences eventually by landowners taking action for non permission fires (if you either have permission or own the land that is fine, up to you). th-cam.com/video/t7guM3vte-o/w-d-xo.html
Chris I've just rambled onto your channel from somewhere else subbed and left a note on my notepad to ask you (and I cant remember why other than trig points) whats the sort of basic kit for camping on Lundy Island for 3 nights? I went out this year on a "full day" trip tides right and max daylight but route marched it and want to do the 3 day stay and explore at a slower pace. what would be the basic and recommended equipment I would need to stay on Lundy for 3 nights?....theres a pub that we won't talk about as I have know idea how to cook! x
Great location for a wild camp, I need to go back for a camp with my son once it gets a bit warmer. Shame about the drone though 😥
Hi Stuart! Yeah it is pretty cool round there and hope you and your son can get out soon mate 👍🏻
Was honestly gutted about the drone 😔
Thank you for watching mate 🙏🏼
ATB... Chris
i don`t get it - your logo and headline is the mountain tops, but you couldn`t climb up a bit of wet heather?
Great watch as always Chris sorry about the drone mate that’s shit . Anyone have a drone that can retrieve Chris’ drone ?
Thanks mate.. yeah was gutted 😔 I've done some pretty tasty scrambles over the years in much higher and what looks like more dangerous terrain but just felt so unsafe and unstable trying to get that lol. The rocks underneath the Heather with the green slime etc were lethal man. Would be interested to see what it's like in summer but even then the Peak District can be boggy with the peat. If you don't feel confident gotta be safe and sensible.
Cheers pal 🙏🏼🫶🏻
Always good to see one of your videos mate, but what a disaster with the drone 😢 hopefully your channel can make enough £ £ to get you a new one!
Ahh thank you so much Kevin!! Last minute this was but was great to be out even though I lost the drone 😢😫 User error though and I did learn that using a drone + rushing = bad ending. Should be able to monetize my channel soon so will have to see if I can make any penny's towards it lol 😁🤞🏻
Thanks so much for watching as always 🙏🏼😊
Can you please give me exact location for this ?? Do i need to take any permission to stay in tent ?? Any wildlife danger at night ??
Mate if I can get up there at the weekend I'll try n get it for you, no promises of course but if I somehow manage it I'll give u a shout, not sure it'll work tho 😔
Hi Cat! Aww thank you so much for that offer it is tremendously kind of you. Please do be careful though but I am in no way asking you to even try.
I said to a few people, in my 17 years of hiking and climbing ive done some pretty tasty scrambles and climbs (with the right equipment) over the years, especially in Europe. I've done things in this country that by eye look far worse but we're OK. But honestly I've never felt so unsafe and unstable as trying to get that lol. Even in person is looked so doable even from the camp side if the river, like you're just gonna walk up through the Heather and get it. But had no idea of the madness that was underneath it all.
Was thinking if if have had my Microspikes I'd have probably given it another go as already tried 6 or 7 routes but I dont think they would have even been enough.
With the right equipment you'd do it but those rocks with that green gel /slime on underneath were lethal man.
The chap that was with me is a rock climber and even he didn't have his harness, hard hats or anything in his car.
If for some magical reason you do ever some across it though I'll happily meet you or pay postage. Definitely won't work as its panned down with rain up there since but would still be nice to get it back lol.
I really appreciate the offer though in any case 🙏🏼❤️🙏🏼
Hope you're good 😊
Chris x
So annoying though cus it looks so close 😂
@@theheightoflife aye, I stopped the vid on your night photo and can see the rocks at the bottom. Were u trying to go up from the bottom, or down from the top, or horizontal approach? The camera is very deceptive for sure, I know those hills well. I wondered about spikes too, mine aren't great don't think they will add much, bigger ones, crampon style might get tangled in Heather and cause a stumble. I'm hoping to get to Glossop at the weekend to see a friend, it's up that way so will take a look if I have time. The fact it will be knackered by now means I won't take too much risk but if I can I will 👍
@@Wild.cat.adventures Yeah the rocks at the bottom were feeding to the ones at the river bed, there are also rocks in and underneath the Heather which you couldn't even see from looking at it untill you started to go up. I tried to go up from the bottom about 2 different ways, from the left and about 3 routes from the right and coming up the angled 'corner' part. Some ways looked promising untill you started and another thing with the incline couldn't even see the tree so the chap was directing me then too.
That's so awesome of you though thank you so much for even offering ❤️ please though if you even do attempt be safe and don't take any risks as you said 🙏🏼
Unlucky about the drone dude but…….never say never? Or maybe offer a reward??
Cheers Ad 👍🏻
Yeah I'm gonna go back at some point, very much doubt it will ever work again as these Drones aren't waterproof or anything and it's rained a decent amount since up there. But would still like to get it back nonetheless
Thanks for watching mate 🙏🏼😊
@@theheightoflife there is that dude but……removing it from an unscathed place is more of a priority? Happy to assist anytime on a recovery operation? Lol
@@TheAdsta1 Yeah I wana get it back for multiple reasons and getting it off the moors is definitely one of them. That was one annoyance that I'd left something out there that wasn't there before. You're definitely welcome to come and try anytime haha 🙏🏼👍🏻
If you want another crack at getting it back, let me know. I'll come and give you a hand
Ahh thanks so much Shawn!!! 🙏🏼 That is such an awesome offer mate 😃❤️
Honestly it looked so doable from the camp side of the river, but was a different story once I tried. I've scrambled up waterfalls with slippy rocks easier than that. Just couldn't get any footings at all, everything was like ice, no grip, very very steep even though it probably looked OK on camera. I reckon with the right equipment you'd get up there as someone must have to plant the tree and pickets. As I was only going low down I didn't even have anymore technical stuff in the car. The bloke I met usually has climbing equipment and harnesses etc too but didn't have any in his car either.
Such an awesome offer but I couldn't put anyone at risk. If anyone fell trying to get up you would probably hit rocks and definitely when you hit the river, you wouldn't stop once you started to go. I'd feel so bad if anything happened to anyone.
I'd love to get it back though even if it didn't work. It's got my operator ID on it so if anyone did find it and got in touch with the CAA etc I'd happily pay postage.
Thank you for watching and the comment though its truly appreciated 🙏🏼 ❤️
ATB... Chris
Langsett or Snake Woodland?
You got it mate 😏🐍
Where is this place plz ?
Hi! This is the Peak District National Park 👍🏻 Just off the Snake Pass
@@theheightoflife thanks bro
They seem more hassle than they're worth these drones!? Shame you couldn't get it back! Looked like a great pitch otherwise. 🤦♂️
Cheers mate... yeah it seems they can be. This was purely user error, I learnt that Drones + trying to rush = don't end very well. Should have double checked my angle cant believe it mate.
Was great to be out though and honestly thought it was doable from the camp side of the river but when I got the other side and tried it was a different story. Honest mate the camera doesn't even begin to show it. I should have recorded some footage of what it was like but was just concentrating too much on actually trying to get it not the video lol.
Thanks so much for watching as always mukka 🙏🏼❤️
ATB... Chris
Oh dear mate, what a shame.
Wounded mate 😢😔
Please nobody else take the easy option camping at snake woodlands. It's a half ruined picnic spot for sheffielders and mancs in the summer. If you're not from the area and don't know, you're not to blame but it gives wildcampers that make the effort to get out of the way a bad name. Not knocking you either pal, you're not from round here.
Hi John! Thank you for clicking on my video and leaving me a comment 😊
Yes I agree these sorts of places shouldn't be for wildcamping as great as they may seem. Far too easy to get too and they do seem to attract the 'wrong people'. This video was a last minute video as I had a contract target date to include my ad integration from the video sponsor (*edit: which isnt or wont be a regular thing either), it was close and was rhe only weekend I had. I prefer summit camps and well hidden.
I have only had this channel for a couple of years but have been hiking for around 17 years as I kept my love for the great outdoors from a previous career. There was a reason I did not say my location in the video this time, the description or any comment (as much as people who know about it will know) but so many other people ask and I just say 'The Peak District'.
Every time I cut through this area on a day hike (which is getting less and less) it just aggravates me. So much litter and landscape damage from people coming down here and leaving there rubbish etc.
Last year on a loop back from Kinder as I came past the waterfall there was a huge fire scar, loads of ash, a disposable bbq and 16 empty cans of dark fruit cider! I put my hiking boots in a bin liner in my car and had a spare one, do got it came back down and got the bbq and 16 cans then moved all the rocks and wood and tidied the ash up as much as possible. Really pisses me off man dont get why people would want to go down to enjoy these beautiful places then ruin them!?
Not sure if you saw it but I did a 'short' which was on the way back from here. Some idiots had re loaded a fire up right under pine trees and then left!! Which I also put out etc. I know some people don't have education in forestry and might not realise the catastrophic impact that would happen if pine trees caught or how to safely build a fire. But surely you'd like to have the sense that leaving an unattended and uncontrolled fire in a no go 🤦🏻♂️🤦🏻♂️
Anyway I'll stop moaning now 😂 Thank you once again for your time in leaving the comment and hopefully people will read it and keep them aware. I hope you get to have some great time in the fantastic outdoors and I wish you a very safe and pleasant weekend John.
ATB buddy.... Chris 🙏🏼😊👍🏻👍🏻🏕
Thankyou for the wonderful and time consuming reply!
I sent a similar message to another youtuber that camped there with a few other people, that had loud music and a fire (😠 )I couldn't believe what I was watching. She's a fairly well known and established channel aswell.
Anyway all the best with your channel and keep loving the amazing outdoors pal.
@@johnd8538 You're very welcome 🙏🏼
Oh dear 🤦🏻♂️ sounds like a real life nightmare that. Can't believe they did that let alone film it for everyone to see! Those sort of videos will just make some people want to do that themselves 😒 I'd rather just enjoy the 'sounds' of nature, even if at times there are none. Think I may have an idea on who...
Thanks mate 😊🙏🏼👍🏻
