🤣🤣 In "bad weather" I used to like reading Rich Hobson's 'Grass beyond the Mountains' series..... 🤣🤣🤣 A LOT of embellishments..... But great stories of B.C. in the '30's (?)..... 🤣🤣🤣👃✌️🇨🇦
Most nights when I go to sleep I put on blizzard or thunderstorm sounds. 🌨️ ⛈️ I love imagining different situations relevant to each sound. Helps me to drift off. 💤
Thanks for the mention Paul… literally the first ever wild camping video I watched was 1 of yours, so that’s pretty awesome to be featured on a vid. Great content, as always! Liam
lovely to watch your video's Paul in these weather conditions but sometimes its fun and a nice calming tutorial on your video's. get in and keep warm & have a brew.😊
I really appredciate the demonstration of the use of the Hilleberg Unna in rainy, windy weather. I have that tent and have wondered how it would fare in such conditions. Thanks, Paul
Exellent video, really enjoyed it. Never thought i would get much more enjoyment from u tube than ordinary tv. How things have changed. For the better as so much choice now. Anyway you are a credit to what you do, long may it continue, karl.
On the night of the 15th Feb i camped near Bath. It was raining when I pitched. The inside of the tent got slightly wet. Overall an excellent night, as the rain stopped @ 11:45 & after a light wind. I was inspired by your video to have a go & not retreat to a friends place! Thanks Paul. Sleep system a 3 season bag & fleece liner.
After 25years spent in arduous conditions with the Marines I never felt the need to wear waterproof trousers. A quick drying trouser was my preference as a waterproof outer was never fully waterproof and just became a burden to carry, also as long as core is kept warm legs never got cold. Great content 👍
Rain Pancho are good to have in wet camping weather they weigh nothin keep you're clothes and backpack dry until you find you're ground to lay you're tent / hammock.
One small caveat: Long legs to torso ration, especially with skinny legs (suitable for running and cycling, not great for swimming) does require a bit of extra, eg long johns.
Thanks for the video. I don't always comment, especially if I'm watching on the tele, but I always enjoy your videos. Authentic, honest and down to earth and the content is relevant for me. Cheers and keep it up.
Thank you I enjoyed your visit. I used to drink bad stuff but now I just drink water and tea. Tea with no sweetener or milk. Took me a little to get use to it but now I wouldn't have it any other way. Stay well my friend.
I love that you are pushing yourself when it would be quite easy to take an easier path. The day to day details of your videos, well shot and with your friendly common sense dialogue make these very watchable. Bonkers expensive kit where it matters but then cheap as chips alcohol stove - just shows your pragmatic approach! Thank you as always Paul, keep em coming!
I went camp yesterday evening back tomorrow I'm going to enjoy a home made shepherd pie with a nice Mcewan's bitter, fair play to you Paul out camping in this weather cheers Paul.
You must have been glad to get out of that wind and rain 😢 I can remember being out in that myself ! Big red face on you paul. What a way to make a living 😮 We call that a take out, in Canada. Mike.
I Always get excited when I see a new video pop up from this channel, like a big kid I sit downstairs with a blanket over me and a pot noodle as if I'm camping hehe
Watching this on my phone whilst in a scalding hot bath - makes me feel even more relaxed! Great work, love your videos - camping in this weather? Absolute muppet….. hats off to you, thumbs up😅
Love your videos Paul. I can't think of many activities I'd rather do less than this sort of thing but admire you greatly for doing so whilst both entertaining and educating the rest of us. Thanks.
Looks like a lot of prep work is needed before you go.And a lot of packing away afterwards.Not to mention having to clean and dry everything once you’ve got back home.which involves unpacking it all again.Sounds like a lot of work to me!
Nice to see out camping again but it looked very wet wet wet and windy main thing long you enjoy the camp stay safe and stay healthy and stay warm one life enjoy blessed be
Well Paul you can’t beat a stormy camp.⛺️ The noises from the climate machines are endless there isn’t much time pass without hearing or seeing one. Love a frost in the morning 👍
Brilliant, thanks for that, scorching hot ere in NZ. Really enjoyed watching you coping with the elements. Felt like I was there. Great meal. Liked the way you set your tent up in the wind. I was failing to do a good job many years ago putting our tunnel tent up in the wind on the top of Whitby and a bloke ran over and helped me out, turns out it was noddy holders brother, nice guy.
Paul, thanks for sharing. I think you have spent serious effort dialing in your gear and the sequence of making it all work with your video. Well done, Sir. Much respect for your kit. I live in the mountains, where it’s wet and can be windy. Thanks again…from East Tennessee.
Great video 😊 here in Norway they describe the comfort rating of a sleeping bag as the temp for women and the limit rating for men. Also, I use wool liner gloves when camping in the cold. They will get soaked but still manage to hold your fingers warm and dry very very quickly even with just body heat. Thanks for sharing your videos 😊 looks fab up there.
Hi again Paul. Thanks to your superb honest videos finally bought a Hilleberg Unna.😁 so looking forward to getting out in it. And thanks to those who put their preference on my last post.
Paul what a great vid again covering a few of my unknowns for my first wild camp soon, for instance a simple change of clothes from the hike kit to being in the tent….how it’s done easily. Sorry for the lame question but it’s like anything….if you’ve never done it….savvy takes you so far then sometimes you just have to see it ✌🏻🤘🏻
At the moment I'm in my Astra Gear tent (yes that one) in the New Forest putting my seam sealing to the test. 😅 Will be having a wee port and some scampi frys later 👍 Great stuff as always Paul 😉
Cheers Paul, I've got a Coffee Porter from Northwoods Brewing Company in Northwood New Hampshire and a Whirlpool Hazy Pale Ale from Night Shift Brewing in Everett Massachusetts! Mixing it up for a bit of variety! I'm glad you stayed warm!!
Another good video Paul , Enjoy your new tent when it arrives , I might get in a couple of camps in next couple of weeks , Liam is good to watch , he's a good bloke , Enjoy watching bushman and blue , was a nice sunrise . Keep the videos coming Paul . cheers . Until next time , Dylan
Nice one Mr P. Really liked your menu. A Cuppa Soup is a very fine thing on a cold, lightweight camp. Really like your "supermarket takeaway and added from home ingredients" vacuum boil in the bag thing. For weight saving, have been doing a Cuppa Soup mixed with a 2 minute noodle, with all the sachets for flavour for years. Great for energy but insanely salty, grabbing for my water bottle through the night. Your set up would be way better. One of our spiritual leaders, Patrick Dickinson, did a vid of home cooked meals he put in a dehydrator, vacuum packed, froze etc and then reheated on the hill. This all looks so much better, for so little extra weight. Keep on keeping on!
I got those rab photon insulated trousers a couple of months ago and they are really warm. Come with its own stuff sack and I couldnt feel an ounce of wind. Under a pair of shell trousers and theyll take you through a harsh winter traverse 💪. Nice to see you again mate, its always worth doing a harsh camp to remind us how good it can be on the otherside lol.
You know Paul, when you're using water to heat through a ready made meal, you don't need deep water. As long as you use a lid, an inch or two of water is all you need because the circulating steam will do the heating for you faster, using less precious water, fuel and time. Just don't remove the lid and lose steam and you're good.
Wait, what? When you use an alcohol stove that is a no-go my friend. Just plan on using the remaining water for other uses such as an after dinner brew or perhaps a dehydrated dessert. Remember that many alcohol stoves have no heat control or off switch. You are committed to tusing hat partial full ounce of fuel once lit. Luxuriate in that extra hot water. I sometimes use my water bottle as a foot warmer. See you on the trail!
Nice camp out , tgat was a freat idea getting the vacuum sealer and bags . Eating proper food is probably cheaper than buying ready meals, also . Take care. I enjoyed the video
Yes boil in the bag are the way to go. Have you tried making your own omelettes - 2-4 eggs, some mushrooms, cheese, onions, ham, or what ever - chuck it in the bag, mash it all up then seal the bag. When on site boil in the bag for about 10 minutes ish. Yummy.
I AM Appreciative of your 'dedication' more now that I tried to do much less in my backyard with much better weather. ❤❤❤ Nice tricks from losing tent 👍🏻👍🏻 I can still feel the water running down my neck🌧️ Yeuck 😂😂😂
It's a tad soggy lad:) It never gets old the feeling you get when you first crawl into the tent and get away from the driving wind cold and rain, A nice challenging camp :) Tonight I'm drinking a small nip of Glen Livet purely for medicinal purposes:) The new tent when it arrives will I think be the best tent you've ever had, the geodesic design is the strongest and thats what you want when camping on the high ground, it will give you peace of mind:)
This is not a good thing. The largest predator is the badger, and the largest ruminants are hybrid deer, which prevent reforestation, hence the barren and bleak landscapes we fool ourselves are natural and beautiful. The British Isles are a couple of centuries ahead of North America in ecological collapse. Be glad of your critters. They're a blessing.
Hey Paul, great feeling getting in the tent & a brew on when the weather is crap👍 Magic vid once again, please do review the vern 1 once you get a chance !
Cheers Paul. Loved watching that. Cant wait to see the new tent. Im already tempted…. But slightly disapointed that the HH is only 3000. I look fwd to hearing your view on it
Another great video paul,seeing that weather at the start,to that sunrise the next day is a world of diffrence and thats what i love about hiking and wild camping,sometimes it can feel like the elements are against you all the time,then its like nature rewards you,whether that be a sunrise or something else
Welcome the test on the new tent, interesting designs. The rating is with full clothes on worst case. Might bring a bag or two quilts. Put jacket over you. Good Bloke has some fun good vids, pretty real test. beautiful rize worth it.
Awesome stuff. I love it. Also a tad bit jealous. In the new world we have large furry Omnivores that threaten to join your dinner party after you fall asleep. Vestibule cook at your own risk. Keep it up Paul. Your sense of humor and easy manner are so natural.
love camping but the pole on my coleman avior x2 broke and can't find a replacement! your setup looked real cosy and i enjoyed the video. gives me a sense of escapism because i have been stuck indoors with bad sunburn on my legs
Regarding the beverage question(when you were opening a good beer), i was having an Earl Grey Tea with a little bit of cognac . Cheers to you Paul, LOVE your videos!👌
I went to kinder the other day for the first time and I couldn’t find anywhere to pitch, it was all super boggy or not flat?! A little bit of local knowledge goes a long way I guess
Using Staika (my first Hilleberg love), then Unna and also Akto. Can't figure out which one I like more to set up. Unna is super easy to pitch but in challenging conditions it can be some work too. Staika, similar as Soulo probably easier to pitch in windy conditions? thanks for sharing video. Lovely watching from cosy sofa! My big winter hike is yet to come!
Good to watch YOU camping up there like that, rather than ME. The wind, the rain... Give me a caravan any day - or a tent at or near ground level in good weather, like when we tented at Cambridge and on the Isle(s) of Lewis & Harris.
Was looking for a quilt as being tall and broad and being a side sleeper struggle with sleeping bags. Would like to know what the quilt was and how it performed. Don't know if I missed it
I'm deliberating between getting the Nemo or the 2024 Big Agnes Rapide SL insulated. Any comparisons and contrasts you have between the two would be much appreciated.
For me I would choose the larger one for its broader use case scenarios and just accept the weight penalty. But that said if you consider that you can buy both of them for pretty much the same as a jet boil maybe budget permitting get both over time and take the one that fits the needs of the cap your planning 🤔.

I love being super warm and cosy in a completely dry tent when it's cold and windy outside.
as introvert i love watching this either rainy or snow camping, idk why maybe its weird but this makes me feel calm.
🤣🤣 In "bad weather" I used to like reading Rich Hobson's 'Grass beyond the Mountains' series..... 🤣🤣🤣 A LOT of embellishments..... But great stories of B.C. in the '30's (?)..... 🤣🤣🤣👃✌️🇨🇦
It makes you feel cosy and appreciative of having a roof over your head.
What makes you think it has to do with you being an introvert? Just curious :)

no probs mate. keep up the great work
Keeping your tent packed while you set up the poles. It’s those little things that keeps me watching videos, especially yours.
Bet it’s lovely when you get in the tent and get warm with a nice brew
lovely to watch your video's Paul in these weather conditions but sometimes its fun and a nice calming tutorial on your video's. get in and keep warm & have a brew.😊
Your voice and the way you edit these videos is so soothing
Great stove, nice and low, much better than a tall jetboil.
That Unna is a good 'British weather' tent.
I really appredciate the demonstration of the use of the Hilleberg Unna in rainy, windy weather. I have that tent and have wondered how it would fare in such conditions.
Thanks, Paul
Inspirational stuff ! Love how ya just get out there, fair play to ya mate.

What would you recommend now? 20 years ago it was all Ronhills, is there anything new?
@@paulmclaughlin4106 My preference these days is a Fjallraven cotton trouser that can be waxed in winter.

Lovely weather to be outside. When everybody is hiding in a warm place you are the king of the world.
Need to come down under and trek and camp. Always warm and never rains. Clear skies, bright stars, campfire and a billy on the boil. Always dry!
Your a tough old bugger Mr M. as said pure inspirational.

Thanks for this great video Paul.
It showcases the Unna for what it is, a tough versatile tent.
love your content Paul , learnt so much from you about movement in the outdoors
I look forward to seeing the new tent in action it looks bomb proof
How appropriate! The ad TH-cam chose to run prior to your windswept face appearing was a tropical beach!!!
