    Notes: Please be responsible when hiking and camping in extreme conditions. Thoroughly plan your hike and camp and take all the kit you need for any eventuality. I highly recommend taking on these challenges in groups and always tell people your plans and take communication devices with you. Take care and have fun!

    That is some serious wild camping, and quite a lovely dinner to contrast the weather! Good points on the woodland being a substantial risk - as a hammocker looking to try a tent again, the arguments people give about being able to site a hammock more easily than a tent fall flat; a bit of wonky ground under a tent won't kill you, but tree fall will! Much greater risk when hammocking with your placement given you basically have to be amongst trees.

    Andy, I do the same on a one nighter. I cook my rib-eye in butter rather then oil and I add broccoli and mushrooms as well as the rice. Take a few pieces of tin foil - acts as lids on pans and to wrap cooked food to kept it hot whilst other magic goes on the burner. I use nalgene containers for butter and prepared garlic as well as for my mustard etc etc

    Great video and some sound advice. The further up, windier and the tougher the conditions you want to experience, then the money you need to spend to keep you safe rises too. Practice at the bottom of the hill (or even your garden) with your gear in the sun, wind and rain, then you stand more chance of finding, not only the lens cap for your camera, or bottle opener, but also your way back down... 👍

    The problem with all dome tents is that you can't keep the door open for ventilation because the rain would get in, you'd think they'd make them with a simple porch that overhangs the open door.

    • @BackpackingUK
      @BackpackingUK  ปีที่แล้ว +1

      A lot of dome tents (like this) have a little hood over the door. It works well if the rain is coming from the opposite site.

    • @tungstenkid2271
      @tungstenkid2271 ปีที่แล้ว

      That shelter was getting battered when we were up there. We thought the roof was going to come off! However, it did help us take a quick break from the sub-zero gale-force wind chill. Very jealous, wish I lived closer.

    Cader Idris is probably my favourite hike of the last year. Actually I went twice in the space of a few weeks. First time the weather was bad, with visibility of just a few metres from Llyn Cau up, and I was hiking solo, so I decided to hike just to Llyn Cau and return to the car.
    That whet my appetite, so the first opportunity I got to go back was just a few weeks later, on a beautifully clear day, following the Minffordd Path circuit. At pretty much every point on the way round there were spectacular views for miles. I ended up taking 1.5hrs longer than expected, simply because I kept stopping to take it all in.
    I tell you what, though. I have a terrible fear of heights, and that last 20 metres ascent to the trig point took a bit of focus to do, with sheer drops on either side!!!
    Well done, mate. The Mrs even sat and watched a bit of this viddy with me, a compliment in itself (she usually just shuts the door on me 😆).

    Have a Soulo BL. It is amazing how strong the structure is even without guylines. Gonna try double poling the side pole soon to see what difference it makes. You may say that it is too heavy, but actually it feels quite light compared to the Tarra I used to lug around.

    • @chrishamilton2527
      @chrishamilton2527 2 ปีที่แล้ว

      Hoqus, a few years ago I bought a cloud peak 2 and bought some heavier duty poles to swop out the standard ones. I would peg the fly sheet using longer cords down closer to the ground. It transformed the tent. I had it above the tree line in high winds (60mph) and snow on several occasions - the tent survived exceptionally well with me and my dog. Now I’m able to afford more I’ve got myself a single skin Crux and a zpacks triplex. Both fab tents tho’ very pricey. I would also look at a one of the vango’s as they really offer good sturdy value.

    Not particularly responsible putting yourself in a potentially situation where you expect someone on the end of Garmin Inreach to put themselves in danger to bail you out as your last resort. Perhaps you missed the news report about the Ambleside mountain rescue person who had life changing injuries rescuing a wild camper.

      The Garmin inReach SOS button is supposed to be an absolute last resort. People get into trouble on hot sunny days too and the MRT are called. Snowdonia, The Lakes, they’re all places that are potentially dangerous. At least I’m showing people how to do it responsibly and safely. You’ll never stop people doing what they want to do!

      @mason448 2 ปีที่แล้ว +7

      I think you have to have a scale of what life-threatening is. Mostly people get into difficulty from having the wrong gear for the conditions. If you have the right gear then its less risky. Nothing wrong with this video as he has the right gear and right mindset. What would be wrong would be going out in jeans and a £50 tent from argos.

      Yes, but the Sea to Summit ones are hard wearing. I think the set is £3.50 including a knife, fork, spoon and carabiner.

    Nah. This isn’t harsh. Come camp on the shore of Lake Superior during a storm.

    why take so much food to be COOKED and packaging etc ? pre cook a nice meal and just WARM it up. less shit to carry up and down and if the shit hits the fan you have meal ready to eat rather than raw meat etc .
