Another BAD WEATHER Winter SOLO Wild Camp - Oke Tor Dartmoor (Naturehike Cloud Up 2)

It's Christmas, and to show his appreciation for your support through the past year, Trev has taken to Oke Tor on Dartmoor for another spot of wet and windy wild camping in the Naturehike Cloud Up 2.
Its been a while since Trev last got out for a wild camp, and with all the bad weather we've had recently, perhaps he should have just stayed at home with the family, but no he's out for some solo wild camping in the trusted Naturehike, which he still claims to be one of the best budget tents he's tried so far.

That is the best color. I made the mistake of getting light green and it's too bright for stealth camping.

I like your video, because i live the adventure with you. Thank you

No, thank you - glad you think that! Cheers!

[@dogmanone8237]

Brutally honest video, it's certainly true that there are trekking days when one can ask more than once what the heck I'm doing here now... but these moments provide also often quite unforgettable memories that can make you laugh (once proper amount of time have passed, and you're having a sip of proper whisky in your easy chair in front of a fireplace...) BTW my favorite trick to make a solo camping trip more comfy is to take my dog with me (if you can still call it solo) - sleeping side by side, he provides some additional warmth, in addition to company. Plus informs if anything dodgy is happening nearby.

[@SummitOrNothing]

I would love a dog! Unfortunately in rented accommodation at the moment, and its a no go :-(. Looking to buy in the next year though, so a dog is top of our list. Thanks for watching, and really glad you enjoyed the video. I do look back a little more fondly on all my camps, even if they are horrid as I live them... by the time I'm editing them I'm already beginning to enjoy the experience! Thanks for watching, and sorry that it has taken me so long to reply... found it now though!

[@kenhenley7599]

The things you put yourself through to entertain us.....thank heavens! Tent stood up well. You need a "pee bottle".....saves going outside in the wind, rain, snow, etc., if you want a wee wee during the night! Great video.

[@SummitOrNothing]

I am not sure I could trust myself not to spill a pee bottle inside my tent - going outside often adds a certain amount of excitement to an otherwise lengthy night anyway haha. Thanks for watching!

[@slippery999]

Morning Trev mate, really good to see you out again, that's commitment right there booooiii... I reckon that meal would of been ok, 2 weeks out of date and freeze dried would of been fine mate. Enjoyed this one, I think I've got the same beanie as you too 😁 Elf on the bloody shelf!! Grrr,rrrr. Cool man, see ya on the 11th Jan? Lee

[@SummitOrNothing]

Cheers for watching, Lee. My hat has lost all the elasticity already, bloody old rubbish, and yea I'm sure that meal would have been alright bit if anyone is gonna get I'll from food it's me,and the idea of having to trek back with onset food poisoning scared the shit out of me hahah.

[@petersmithm9]

I use one of those reflective windscreen covers underneath my air mat, silver side up. Placed some of that carpet anti-slip pad on top of it to stop the mat slipping. Like you I use thermal long johns and top plus those wooly thermal bed socks. With my wooly hat I look like a ninja if I have to get up in the middle of the night to answer natures call.

[@SummitOrNothing]

That sounds like a great idea with the windscreen cover, I did see Radiator insulation in Lidl the other day that I thought looked half decent, but as is always the case with things I see in Lidl, I didn't get it at the time and now have to wait until next time it arrives in store. Thanks for watching, and all the best for 2020!

[@bobbyg65]

Great video validating the budget Naturehike tent which I own as well. Other reviews predicted it would never hold up through any kind of storm but obviously it can. Thanks for the vid !!

[@SummitOrNothing]

Its a great tent... it actually outperformed the MSR Elixir in this video of ours when hit with near 60mph winds kzbin.info/www/bejne/bnzMon1njJmfqac

[@Sam-ch9mn]

I’m way past my wildcamping days but watching your video brought good (and not so great) memories back of the ups and downs of it. Good sleeping kit is important. As you showed, broken and uncomfortable sleep is a nightmare, esp. on longer treks. Wears you down, however fit you are. I’m enjoying your channel, found it a few months ago so lots more to catch up on. Good luck.

[@WalksWithOlly]

I enjoyed following this one, Trev and thanks again for the shoutout. I am sorry I didn't get the meal to you sooner. Straightlining across the moor and endless nights in confinement... Just like in the early days! I suffer the same with inflatable mats that slide all over the place. Robin Wallace recommend an anti-slip mat to me. It's Ikea's 'Stopp' but you could probably find something else in a DIY store. It does help, can be cut with scissors and weighs very little. Hope you're having a great Christmas, all the best for 2020.

[@SummitOrNothing]

No worries, Olly. I am sure the meal would have been fine, I still have it, so will give it a go I think - the consensus seems to think it will be ok. I will have to try to get the bedding situation sorted this year, its driven me mad, so will keep my eyes peeled for the anti-slip matting. Having a great Christmas, cheers, Olly - hope you are too. Catch you in the new year. Trev!

Thank you very much, Andre - hope you contnue to enjoy our adventures. Thanks for watching!

[@mrbiggles5211]

You need to get in all your layers before you get cold, they keep the warm in they won't create any extra warmth if you're already frozen... do some push up's in the tent, or some star jumps before you get in is good to get a boost of body heat. Also, get in the bag and eat your food, the warm food and digestion will also warm you up a bit. Happy new year Trev, keep up the good work.

[@SummitOrNothing]

Yea I usually do sit ups when I'm in the tent. Find that layering as I go does make a difference though, to be honest. That was advice I found in several places before and it works for me. Cheers for watching, Ian. All the best!

[@_lux_aeterna_]

Love camping in the rain and wind but what I'm really looking forward to is snow as soon as its forecast snow for north UK I'll be packing my kit lol GS on video mate 👏⛺☔

[@whitstablekayakbassfishing763]

Trev another awesome video, you're braver than me. I had the same issue with a sliding sleep pad, I'm not sure if you've seen any of melon bites videos but he gave a great tip to put a few dots of silicone sealant on the bottom of the pad. This worked really well for me I used bathroom sealant about ten dots, this along with my trekology alpha 2 pillow which has a strap has helped stop me sliding around. I also put my spare base layer over the pad as well. Keep up the great work

[@SummitOrNothing]

Ah, thats not a bad idea, a bit of silicone to help it stick - another one to try. Thanks for your comment, and for watching, Paul. All the best for 2020!

Yea it's a great budget tent. Maybe one day I will dish out for something a bit more pricey but it's doing ok so far.

[@stonehill27]

I have Cloud up 1, the cheapest made with polyester. Haven't used it in bad weather yet. For price it's very good quality. And you get footprint included. My main complaint is lack of pegs. You must buy extra like mentioned in video. Bought my extra pegs from Wish. Better than included with tent.

Thanks very much for watching, I do try and document my camps as happen - the good with the bad, warts and all haha. Happy New Year!

[@pen2199]

i like your vids man

[@SummitOrNothing]

Thanks very much! Glad that you enjoy them!

[@stephenszalay]

Great vid. Too dark for too long for me. Roll on April. As said below, try putting the roll mat inside the bivvi bag. Also use a shirt/jumper to secure a pillow to the roll mat. (Shove the pillow inside the front of the jumper) it helps stop slipping and sliding

[@SummitOrNothing]

Cheers Steve - great tips - I shall try them out on my next outing Thanks for watching!

[@mow-zr6ni]

Good video. Get a kindle, radio or some downloads to phone to while away those hours. All the best

[@SummitOrNothing]

Cheers for watching, glad that you enjoyed it. I do take a book and download stuff in Netflix to watch whilst camping, just don't bother filming as it tends not to make very good video haha. Take it easy and thanks for watching!

[@stevewoods9661]

Really enjoyed this Trev while toasties warm at home. Jk Your a inspirational in what you do especially at this time of year. Looks like the Cloud up can stand up to some strong winds, I'm thinking of getting one for the west highland way next year. All the best for Christmas & New Year 🥃🥃

[@SummitOrNothing]

Hahah! Yeah, a great tent, but must admit that having that additional rope on the back end had made all the difference, though Steve! Thanks for watching, and enjoy the rest of the festivities!

[@stevewoods9661]

@@SummitOrNothing what weight is the Cloud up 2? At the moment I only have a Mountain Hardwear Trango 3 which weights 6kg bit heavy I think for a 96 mile trek

[@SummitOrNothing]

@@stevewoods9661 I think it's about 1.7kg. Loads of room for one person. Check out one of my reviews for the weight, the lanshan comparison vid has the weight I'm sure.

[@OffTheBeatenPot]

aaaaaaaaah Trev. An old skool Vid. Enjoyed this very much. A nice little retrospect to the year and obligatory shite weather. Next year I’ll cook you Christmas dinner on the trail. But. Sooner than later we have to get out.

[@SummitOrNothing]

Yes yes yes and yes Thom. I'll hold you to that for next year and looking forward to catching up at long last. Hope you had yourself a good Christmas bud. All the best!

[@collisjeanette1019]

Hi Trev. Enjoyed this. Just to say I base camped from 20th to 27th December in Peak District. Weather was dismal. Kind of wish I"d taken the cloud up tent I won from you. Looks like it faired rather better than the tent I took (I went bigger as I took the dog). Actually spent four days in shower block as tent was hopeless for me personally. Anyway, just to ssy I used the down bag inside a 3 season bag and was toasty. Loved the mat. Used the nature hike mat and another similar strapped together with foam mat underneath, plus a wool blanket. Very comfy. I like your videos because you show the rough with the smooth. Camping ain't always a barrel of laughs. And yet we do it! I've been doing it for years (I'm 58) I hope to keep going until I can't. I've had some disasters, but seen some views and met some wonderful people. I fell over twice on this trip...that was before the rhubarb gin! Glad to be back in my bed though! I'll take the cloud up out in a week or too. Happy New Year to you and yours. Netta

[@SummitOrNothing]

Oh, hi Netta! Good job for making the effort to get out though, although I am sorry to hear that it wasn't very successful. Glad that the down bag came in handy! Yeah, the tent did ok, but as I mentioned in the video, I have tied another guy rope to the back window which has given substantial additional support, I recommend doing the same, there should be enough extra guy ropes in the pack though! As with my videos, I always show both sides, and have never professed to be a professional in any sense, I just do this because I enjoy it and love that it encourages others to get out and do it too. All the best, happy new year and stay safe on your travels!

[@collisjeanette1019]

@@SummitOrNothing It was successful because the Peaks are gorgeous. Lovely people too. Keep doing what you are doing. Its a great thing, and good not to edit out the tough bits. Wild xamping and hiking can be tough. I wish more young people would have a bash...it teaches resiliency and confidence in ones own ability. Women are always quiet fearful of solo camping, which seems a great pity to me. Its good for the soul and one pretty quickly learns respect for nature. Good on you! Ps...the nature hike bag is also brilliant gor slotting a mat and sleeping pad in to stop things moving about!

[@SummitOrNothing]

@@collisjeanette1019 I have yet to visit the peak District, so maybe this year, and I quite agree about how good camping and hiking is for mind body and soul. I can't wait to see where 2020 takes me.

[@kisertherednose]

We do it BC it's who we are. I just done 2days by betws y coed last weekend, was abit lively same again next weekend 😉

[@SummitOrNothing]

Yea, its soon forgotten once we get home, eh? Thanks for watching!

[@GMiller75]

You should try putting a waterproof picnic blanket on the floor of the tent. Makes a difference especially if you tend to slide about and adds an extra wee layer between you and the cold ground.

[@SummitOrNothing]

That's a great idea, kind of like a carpet. Bet that's snug actually. Probably take up half of my pack though.

[@lauragriffithsoutdoors]

This reminds me of a night I had once on sheeptor, I was so tired the next day I just went to sleep in all my wet clothes when I got home! It was similar weather and I was on a slope too lol. Well done for sticking it out. Have you done cullver steps? It’s flat and slightly sheltered, and an amazing swim spot

[@SummitOrNothing]

I've walked past there but not camped. Not swam either, I have the body of ET so wouldn't want to scare anyone who may pass by lol. Thanks for watching

[@msoddsoxsox974]

Your sanity is questionable ! Good job too, ;-) Happy Christmas x

Morning Trev! Amazing to see you back wild camping on Dartmoor! Another great video!! You know what the issue was tho?? NO DARTMOOR LEGENDS!! Haha. Thankyou for keeping us all inspired and entertained in 2019! Jon

[@SummitOrNothing]

Hahaha... I've done the legends in this area. I will have to get out further afield soon and get you a legend or two. Thanks for watching, Jon

[@jdmccartney1]

Just noticed I hadn’t watched this yet Trev.... nice one mate .... you toughed it out that night for sure but you and the little nature hike stood up to it it again just awesome ... couple of things to try for a better night sleep ...on the inflatable mat try letting some air out ... counter intuitive I know but if they are inflated too much when you put you weight on it they become as firm as a rock and you get this sliding around effect and frankly it feels like you are steeping on a plank as well . I blow mine up so it’s really soft then when I get on it I sink into it ... granted shoulders and hips are barely off the ground but you don’t slide around so much. Also get yourself some soft earplugs the ones for snoring ... I know they feel funny but after a short while you don’t notice them and it blocks out all the wind flappy noise, animal scuffling noises, trains and traffic noises, natives banjo playing 😳 etc ... I tell you they have helped me sleep on lots of one / two nighters when it could have been just miserable. Good luck on raising the Himalayas money ... you doing a fantastic thing Trev.... ATB mate 👍👍

[@SummitOrNothing]

Hi Dave - thabnks for watching! Yeah, this certainly was a fun camp haha! but we got through it. Just trying to work out my next one, now. Thanks very so much for the advice - I probably need to get ear plugs, everyone has told me, so I should take heed. And that probably makes a lot of sense about taking some air out of the mat - may try that too, although, I have just picked up a new self inflating mat that I am hopeing will mean I can get rid of the thermarest and the naturehike altogether. We'll see. Thanks for watching!

[@jdmccartney1]

i have a self inflating mat too ... awesome night sleep and if you are doing just a few miles so worth the extra weight ....again though just undo the valve and let it do it’s own thing self inflating ... don’t be tempted to blow in more air ... like sleeping on a plank! yup done that too 😂😂 looking forward to spring here in michigan so i can get out ... it’s too darn cold in our winters and i like my comfort 👍👍

[@jasonpain1974]

Great to see yet another great video, I've camped up Oke Tor in the wind and rain, just beyond your spot tight to the rock face, managed to find some relative shelter. As others have said try putting your sleeping mat inside your bivi bag, keeps everything together.

[@SummitOrNothing]

It's definitely a fantastic tor to sleep on. And Yea I will definitely try something else for next time. Thanks for watching.

[@Angelida79]

You should have some good 100% wool layer. Thin and thick🐑👍🏼

[@SummitOrNothing]

Sound advice, thanks Ida!

[@HikeCamp]

Ahh typical Summit or Nothing Dartmoor camp it would seem ..Wet and windy.. but you do it well..Trev 😀

[@SummitOrNothing]

Yeah, just like the old days haha! Been a long time coming, I reckon. Cheers Max!

[@HikeCamp]

@@SummitOrNothing Indeed!

[@jamieedwards9973]

ive got the cloud up 1, i noticed in your vid that you didnt peg out the bottom guy line that connects the inner to the outer. it makes a huge difference as i found out recently in the lake district. love the vids keep up the great work.

[@SummitOrNothing]

Its a great tent - I do peg the bottom bit, but dont fully extend the guy line - I have it pegged up tight to the inner, but still pulled enough to separate the inner and outer. I think that Naturehike make some fantastic tents - I have used this one a lot, but last year, I found that the Vik 1 is awesome for fair weather camping. Really lightweight.

[@peeloutdoors7746]

Buy yourself a cheap roll of now slip mat from amazon/eBay and cut it to length you need.. Put it between your sleeping bag and roll matt and trust me you worn keep sliding off, works a treat 👌

[@peeloutdoors7746]

Also some earplugs for the wind

Cheers, Peel. I will look it up. All the best and thanks for watching!

Great video Trev, get yourself a cheap single duvet cover, place Z-Mat and air mattress inside it, keeps it all together in the night on uneven ground, plus keeps grit out 👍 merry Christmas matey

[@SummitOrNothing]

Yea, that sounds a good idea, Ray. I also thought on the way home that I could have tucked the toll may in the bivvy bag too,which I remembered someone had suggested before. I will definitely be looking to improve my sleep kit somehow in the new year. Cheers for watching!
