FREEZING Camp In Heavy Rain & SNOW!

  • An overnight camp in the Rain and Snow taking shelter to avoid the strong winds on the summit and exposed parts of the hill!
    Hi everyone! Thanks for tuning in. For this trip me and Monty visited a little hill on the edge of the Ochil Hills called Dumyat. Now this is my first visit to this stunning area and I really enjoyed it. The hike was mainly dry but the rain came down very heavily during those last 100 metres. The wind speed on the summit was easily 50MPH when we arrived and easily 30MPH when we did eventually set up the tent at our sheltered spot.
    As you'll see the camp had a mixture of rain and snow mostly turning wintry overnight. The wind was no issue as we found shelter and it was a good decision for a more relaxed camp away. Hope you enjoy the video and the trip!

    This would’ve been a much longer video but unfortunately my mic let me down for this trip. You’ll notice that the clips are muted at the start because of the wind noise that was picked up on the mic. Invested in a new mic for future trips.

    You don’t have to come up with things to talk about. Just let the sounds of the rain be heard. Excessive talking sometimes isn’t good. It feels more like a talk show rather than connecting with nature. 🥰

    Another nice video Gaz. It's unfortunate that the wild weather which makes for such interesting content also makes it so difficult to film. I've been out in some conditions where I've barely been able to stand up, and when I did get the camera out either the lens would be obscured or the wind noise was horrendous - or both! I'm not sure what mic you have bought. I've seen one from Joby which looks decent, although I'm not sure if it is compatible with the GoPro.
    Not really an issue I suppose as I'm not one for talking, it's more for background noise.

    • @GazTheExplorer
      @GazTheExplorer  2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      I’ve had a go with the new microphone on my recent trip which will be up on Thursday. Have to say it was a much better video to edit in terms of getting the audio to a reasonable standard. Once again it was a windy trip but we were off the hills.
      As for this trip I agree that the conditions can be a little difficult to film in. A lot of occasions I had to change batteries mid way through filming. I’m surprised I got a reasonable video out of this trip but editing it was not very fun. Thanks James ATB Gaz .
