Solo Wild Camping in the Lake District | The Last Taste of Winter

Join me as I head out for a solo wild camping trip in the Lake District with my dog Poppy.
After hiking up to a mountain tarn, I set up camp and spend some time fishing, before snow showers set in, forcing us to retreat to the tent for the evening.
Hope you enjoy the video,
Matt & Poppy

In my experience, wild camping is a beautiful, simple, spiritual, complete, healing hobby. For about an hour or 2. Then you realise it's 6 hours til bed time and you have absolutely NOTHING to do.

[@pf4186]

You get the opportunity to live in the moment. Sometimes having nothing to do is exactly what you need.

[@jamesmatthews5811]

And a good nap in the solitude

[@XxxEvengingjjxx]

A perfect example of society these days!

Try taking a book & educate yourself or get lost in a good story

[@catherinehughes3740]

I love the fact that Poppy dog has her own back pack x

[@charlottejet4338]

I always look forward to your videos. I'm going to watch this one again. The solitude is what I yearn for. ☺️

Thanks for taking us with you Matt, great camp with your usual high quality camera work, love to Poppy, stay safe, Jack

[@ADVENTUREISMADE]

Thanks Jack mate 🤜🏻🤛🏻

[@ianofthetaylors6288]

Great video, thanks Matt. My old bones are feeling the cold more and I’m looking forward to warmer weather. I’ve a new eVent bivvy to play with. Miss seeing your bushcraft but really appreciate your mixed content and different pitches. Especially respect your determination to catch a fish mate 🐠👌👍

[@knightstemplar8977]

I watched this after watching Into the Wild; about Christopher Mccandless. What a film and true story. Well done mate 🙂🇬🇧. Happy St George's Day (Saturday) 🙏

[@alessia0064]

Nice video Matt. You're braver than me going out in that weather. Take care and have fun and give Poppy a cuddle for me 😊👍.

[@tammydee9700]

Another wonderful vid. Camping by the water with the view is perfect (other than the snow lol). Love it!

[@ewengillies9826]

A man and his rod standing looking over the water... nothing more calming than that Matt. It's not about catching fish .. thst's a biproduct .. it's about being in tune with nature and your surrounds. Great vlog mate fantastic spot to camp and take on the weather. Great to see Poppy out n about. Thanks for this one. Bushyboy Oz.

[@AntSurviveTheNight]

Cracking that Matt, unlucky mate nit catching but least you had more time than when me and Gary went there, the wind and rain hit us hard. Nice spot to pitch up too there, I've not been round that side fully so I'll remember for the next visit up. The Huba Huba did a Stirling job keeping you both warm and dry. Thanks pal 👍

[@ianofthetaylors6288]

I initially thought the tarn was Small Water. Which tarn is this this mate?

[@dns383]

@@ianofthetaylors6288 My thought was Small Water as well but thought the only pitches were at the north east end?

[@ТУРИСТ-АВАНТЮРИСТ]

It's just incredible what beauty, what atmosphere you were able to create. This is truly a meditative experience watching you. I myself started making videos about my adventures in bushcraft, so I'm interested in everything. Grretings from Belarus tourist.

[@alastairkerr2216]

I love that wee natural seat in the rocks! Id give anything to find that spot matt, what a find! Poppy doesnt like the hail!! Nice one matt👍

What an amazing spot that is for wild camping. I was there last summer and recognised it instantly. Probably my favourite camping spot ever, went for a swim cause it was so hot! Great video again mate

Cheers Stu, class isn't it. Might go back in the summer myself and have a dip, looks quite deep in places 👌🏻👍🏻

[@scoopermg8226]

What’s the tarn’s name, please?

[@benjaminpearson5969]

@@scoopermg8226 I think it might be Codale Tarn, (just beyond Easedale Tarn). If not it definitely looks similar

What a fabulous place to camp. Nice and cosy with the tent up. Nice to see Poppy earning her keep. You were lucky the tide didn't come in, being so close to the water. Great drone shot.

You have a very smart dog, sir. He went inside the tent as soon as it was up. Like he knew what was coming.

[@Nbstevens78]

Great place, one of my favourite, I take my fly rods and have caught on the opposite side. Much warmer days though Matt.

[@dustinrobinson58]

My heart skipped a beat when you went to cast out just as poppy walked behind you. I’m sure it looked closer due to the camera angle.Loved the scenery as usual.Keep up the good work 👍

[@chrisc4636]

We appricate you and poppy mate loved the vid,atb.

[@azclaimjumper]

I especially enjoyed watching you fish. I'm envious of all the running streams, ponds & lakes. So many all dried up stream beds & ponds. I've almost forgotten what rain sounds like inside my tent. Never take for granted all the water in your neck of the woods. Thermarest makes a Trekker chair that slips over your XTherm air mattress. It's comfortable & warm. I use the G Works fuel transfer valve to fill small fuel canisters from larger ones this way I always start out with a full 110gm of fuel & I've not thrown out any empty canister. I keep refilling the 2 I already have. Yes, I'm a subscriber & rang the notification bell. Warm Regards from Reno, Nevada U.S.A.

[@smittylite02]

Ah, someone from my neck of the woods.......or SW desert as it were. 🤣

[@azclaimjumper]

@@smittylite02 You & I are using the same 4-Plex Soto Windmaster stove. Do yourself a favor, email Soto & ask them for a spare set of O-Rings. Be sure to tell them which stove you have. They will send them to you, no charge. It's good to have them in case you need 'em while out in the boonies. You might consider ordering a spare Piezo Igniter to have although I've NOT had any trouble with the one that came with my stove.

This was great. Am in the USA - would love to go to the lake district someday.

[@laurensvanderklis2669]

Nice to see you hiking with your dog! I used to do it in England and Scotland but my Afghan/Saluki is now 14 years old so long hikes with lots of climbing are becoming difficult. I cannot bear leaving my dog at home when I go out to hike so i guess i will have to wait a while to get back at it. But it's really lovely to hike with a dog, it can complicate things but very much worth it.
