Solo Winter Wild Camping In snow drifts and gale force winds / Hilleberg Akto Red Label 4 season tent.
In this weeks video I head out to bag another summit amongst the spectacular Helvellyn mountain range in the lake district national park. Not a huge summit at 650m altitude but the conditions prove testing and my patience and ability to stay calm are truly tested.

Always tough camping in the wind and trying to sleep man. Akto doing you a solid one there keeping you safe.

[@BooniesPeaks]

It was a tough one but as enjoyable as the last ! Thanks for watching

[@stigfloberghagenphotography]

Really great video and wild camp 👍❄️

[@BooniesPeaks]

Thanks so much glad you enjoyed it

Superb video, loved every minute of that, with the Akto, one thing I found helps with the metal peg points at the end of the tent where yours came off the pegs, is to put a little loop of dyneema and peg through that, then the tent doesn't lift off the pegs.

[@HikingWithMartin]

Obviously the dyneema goes through the metal peg points not replace them.

[@BooniesPeaks]

Wow never thought of that but you are right that makes so much sense!! Even a little stretch of the hilleberg guy cord would do it thanks for the tip 👍🏻

[@DanishMumtazMirza]

Very good video, watched start to end, gave 100th Like. 🙂

[@natureafterhours1342]

Lovely camping in the snow, I enjoyed that one, hope you’re well mate

[@BooniesPeaks]

Glad you enjoyed all good here how has your camping been ? atb Luke

[@natureafterhours1342]

@@BooniesPeaks all good here dude. I’ve only hit the fells once in two months, with all electrics on my car being butchered, back on the road on the 5th, so hopefully catch some snow myself, take it easy man, glad you’re well

[@BooniesPeaks]

@natureafterhours1342 sounds good man gotta jump the hurdles and get back out! All the best

[@cedarcanoe]

Tough winds. Tough Akto 💪

[@BooniesPeaks]

Got to admire it ! Thanks for watching

[@cedarcanoe]

@@BooniesPeaks i own exactly the same tent, with 2 x 9mm poles just in case. Greetz from Sweden 🇸🇪

[@BooniesPeaks]

a perfect combo I have the 10mm and the 9mm the 10mm its very rare I actually use them both @@cedarcanoe

[@Johnnygee10]

Cracking video and well presented.👌..🧐Although you doubled polled the akto and it did well, I say the Allak would be better in the wind ATB 😉

[@BooniesPeaks]

Thanks for watching glad you enjoyed it i guess that is something i will find out at some point. I missed my akto and wanted to air it out.... that i certainly did aha

[@Johnnygee10]

@@BooniesPeaks I should elaborate, i've had my Allak for 4 years and camp all year round and Its stood-up to some pretty harsh conditions. If I want to go lighter its Soulo and the newest member of Hilley family is the Enan bought last year 👌

[@BooniesPeaks]

@Johnnygee10 I haven't had the allak very long so still to try it out in different condition I'm excited to get stuck in with it all year round

[@GoSummitSolo]

Nice windy yin 😛😜

[@BooniesPeaks]

Just a bit aha akto is such a haven I love it

[@azclaimjumper]

I'm 105 "Like". I'm sure we both consider your Hilleberg Akto a 5-Star Hotel out in the boonies. My shelter is the Hilleberg Enan & is everything I want/need for the high altitude weather condition up on nearby the High Sierras. Warm Regards from Reno, Nevada, U.S.A.

[@BooniesPeaks]

akto and enan are basically the same ten on the inner i havent tried an enan but i bet its just as strong in the winds. glad you enjoyed the videos take care over the pond ! all the best

[@CraigDroneAdventures]

Wow fair play to you mate, those conditions dont look pleasant. Liked and subscribed

[@BooniesPeaks]

Thanks so much ! Certainly won't forget this camp in a hurry. All the best 👍🏻

[@CraigDroneAdventures]

Haha i bet! @@BooniesPeaks

[@simonwalker3543]

A very impressive and professionally made video considering the conditions you experienced. Made me more confident to use my Akto in more serious weather than I have done previously. I have subscribed to the channel.

[@BooniesPeaks]

Absolutely made up that watching this has given you some encouragement, before now it's withstood much worse. The akto is an absolutely brilliant tent and the history of it tells the same story all the best to you and thanks for the support !

[@krisgleave]

Nice video as always. I’ve ordered one of the water bottles too as perfect for what I need although I got the 2L as enough for me. Told you it was windy 😂

[@BooniesPeaks]

Nice one glad you enjoyed it was my maye who.put me onto them they are brilliant pretty sure the material helps the water from freezing for a little longer too than a hard bottle just my experience like. Keep an eye on the filter if it's chilly haha

[@krisgleave]

@@BooniesPeaks it looks like the exact same material as my BeFree. I’ve always had the 600ml version and had it 2 years. Katadyn liked my content and shared me on there feed a few times and said they wanted to send me a gift so sent me 2 x 1l versions. One is the black version which is the better material…think it’s the same as the 2L version I’ve just ordered. Feels tougher

[@BooniesPeaks]

@krisgleave get on you haha 😄 yeah the material feels super rugged it's made by hydrapak who make the Solomon bottle I used in my ultrarunning vest so I guess it has to be super durable

[@nasos_zovoilis]

Nice video my friend. I bought an Akto too but never used it. Always I take with me either Nammatj 2 GT or Nallo 2. After this video I may give it a chance.

[@BooniesPeaks]

It's a very small space but you will quickly fall in love with its versatility!! All the best 👍🏻

[@Paul_Turvey]

Cracking video mate, which Garmin watch was that?

[@BooniesPeaks]

Glad you enjoyed ! It's the Garmin Fenix Solar Sapphire 7xpro

[@seanstacey3223]

Cracking video as usual Luke 👍 Was pleased to see you using the HydraPak, have been thinking of getting one after seeing it in another video. Looks like a cracking piece of kit that you can attach to your rucksack, evidently it even takes the beefree filter which I have. Have you got anymore longer excursions planned? Loved your isle of Arran trip, certainly a beautiful place which we loved when we visited it last May. Keep up the good work 👍 😊

[@BooniesPeaks]

Thanks so much I'm glad that you enjoyed it ! The hydrapak is great my friend encouraged me to try one and haven't looked back since. There wont be a video next week but the week after I'm going up to Scotland for a multi day so climb some munros excited to show you what I get up to !

[@seanstacey3223]

Sounds fantastic. Have a great time and I hope the weather is kind to you 🤞
