I've just re watched this, after a very wet summer I'm looking forward to a cold and white winter in the lakes! Awesome exciting weather! 👏

[@TheSoloSummiteer]

Yeah. Know what you mean. “Summer” has pretty much been a non event. Lets hope we get a good winter rather than just more rain. ATB 👍

[@mojorisen1295]

Just amazing that @ 2400ft your weather and views are what I have to hike to at 10,250 at home. I have been out 3 times this winter and have loved every time. Best part of winter hiking high? No humans! :o) Just peace and quite!

[@garymartin557]

a wonderful epic adventure. Dave i have come to the conclusion that you are the luckiest youtuber. you camp out in winter and only get 30mph winds. other youtubers are sat in their tents shouting at camera about the wind speed approaching mach 1 and when the gusts go over mach 1, you hear the sonic boom when the wind hits the tent. you have a knack of just getting the best of the weather. top marks, great video, almost feels we are there with you.

[@TheSoloSummiteer]

Haha. Brilliant Gary. So lucky to avoid those 100mph winds and collapsing tents 🤣👍. ATB

[@jazclemmie]

Great video! Love the amount of effort that must go into filming something like this so cohesively for us to view! I must say I feel like I needed to see you reach your car and munch your sandwich, the satisfaction that must have been 😅

[@TheSoloSummiteer]

Haha. Thanks Jasmine. It’s funny, when I got back to the car my water, milk and sandwiches were frozen solid in the car. So I still had nothing to eat or drink 🤦🏻‍♂️🤣. I should have filmed it but I was too tired by then. Glad you enjoyed it 🙏🏻

Great use of music in those first few minutes. Fabulous scenery yet again, and some pretty confrontational weather to deal with there. Your film making is really good, Dave. The Allak seems to work really well for you, and it took a fair bit of snow there! Loving those snow stakes BTW. ATB, James.

Outstanding Dave lad. Superb video that encapsulates the beauty and the beast that is wild camping in the Lakes in winter, especially when coupled with your previous video. Excellent example of tent striking technique in windy weather, and great use of the axe and poles as additional anchor security. Also great idea to take advantage of the shelter close by to “get your ship together”😂

[@alexdokic5567]

Really enjoyed this two parter, I’ve walked around this area quite a few times, but I don’t think I would do it in winter, I would be scared of falling down a deep hole under the ice! As you know, it can be very boggy, but definitely a wild and lonely part of the Lake District! Watching this made be turn the heating up😂 All the best, stay safe and warm!

[@TheSoloSummiteer]

Haha. Know what you mean Alex. Was a cold one for sure 🥶. ATB

[@JRLNeal]

Yet another brilliant video, Dave, well done. To really share the experience I’m sat with the heating off and the windows open in my boxer shorts and my feet in a bucket of cold water. I can’t replicate the wind though. For what little I know, I am surprised that you had no extra food with you. If on the way down towards the car, you got into trouble and had to sit it out with let’s say a broken ankle, you be in big trouble. In fact excess fatigue and hunger can lead to disorientation in itself and a dangerous scenario. Anyway, thank you very much for going through the experience for us and recording it the way you did because that an itself is a major task. Stay safe and keep on sumiteering.

[@TheSoloSummiteer]

Haha. Nice one John. I can imagine the scene. You sat there freezing in front of the telly 🥶😁👍. As for the food. I know what you mean but I did give it a lot of thought. There were risks involved in the whole trip as in any trip of this nature. The lack of food was a known risk that I mitigated for by being very careful on the descent. A debilitating injury in that environment could be very serious, even with food. Trust me, I am very conscious of the risks associated with my trips and make every effort to minimise them or at least consider them and be aware. That’s why I emphasised at the end for less experienced people not to attempt such a trip. Anyway, all was good in the end. Glad you enjoyed the video and hopefully you’ve thawed out by now. ATB 😁👍

[@JRLNeal]

Yes Dave. I get all that and your clear advice about the risks involved were very well made.

[@paulevans1139]

Great video Dave, really enjoyed this 2 parter👌🏻👍🏻 could have been interesting not being able to get off the mountain due to poor weather, with no gas and food 😱😱

[@TheSoloSummiteer]

Nice one Paul. Yeah, knowledge and experience the key 🙏🏻

[@francisdrake3943]

Really enjoyed part 1 … Part 2 certainly didn’t disappoint … Truly Amazing video. Have you ever thought about using the little yellow squashy ear defenders to cut out the noise … I use them when I’m camping ⛺️ if not just so I can can block out the dogs snoring when their in the tent with me. I have the Allak 3 and also the Soulo, brilliant bits of kit.

[@TheSoloSummiteer]

Big thanks Francis🙏🏻. Regarding earplugs I prefer not to use them especially when the conditions get rough. I like to be able to hear what’s going on just just so I can take action if necessary. ATB 👍

[@thewanderingforester]

Put me right off that route up Slight Side. We have unfinished business on that fell, approaching it from Scafell Linda fell and cracked her head. Thankfully no real damage other than a cut on her forehead which has left a small scar, but she went into shock and I had a scary couple of hours getting her down to the car. Our first accident in 40yrs of hill-walking together - so it can happen to anyone. Your safety tips are very worthwhile, having the knowledge is one thing, remembering to use it is another. Great trip that, epic views. Thanks for sharing. ATB, Roger

[@TheSoloSummiteer]

I remember you telling me about that previously Roger. Sounds really nasty. Absolutely, accidents can happen to anyone. Glad you enjoyed the video. Best wishes 🙏🏻

Cheers Dave. Yeah, it’s really not a place for messing about in those conditions. Glad you enjoyed it. ATB

[@simoneales4566]

You are right Dave, you did make this look easy. At the same time acknowledging how tough it was & how much it was taking out of you. Love how you are always in control and can adapt to every situation with a plan. Great lesson for everyone in packing away your kit & tent in the wind. Again...looked so easy...but bet its not😂 Your love of the mountains shone through in this 2 parter. To just sit there, alone in that setting, with those views must be so rewarding. Brilliant film again Dave...was really looking forward to it...and it didn't disappoint. Take it easy in the mountains mate and thanks for bringing this to us.👍

[@leepark6855]

Love this video Dave 👍🏻..Great spot to pitch and well filmed....just want to add that while I have nowhere near your wildcamping experience ...I have camped a fair bit in really cold temperatures and some advice for anyone interested ...It's easier to warm up your body with exercise in the tent such as press ups and crunches and melt frozen water or snow in a container inside your clothing .....melting fresh snow is really inefficient ...if you can warm a small amount say an inch or so ...and get that on the stove ,then add snow gradually you will get the job done much quicker and save gas👍🏻..As for all liquids ,it's better to prepare in advance and avoid letting them freeze in the first place ...keep them insulated with anything you're not currently using ..just some advice ,I hope that's OK?...keep up the good work 👍🏻

[@TheSoloSummiteer]

Great advice Lee. Sometimes it’s hard to remember to explain everything in the video and sometimes I just forget 🤦🏻‍♂️😁. Glad you enjoyed it and thanks for the tips. ATB 👍

[@leepark6855]

Also, as crude as it sounds to some people... A separate 'pee bottle' in those conditions is a temporary heat source that can make a difference.
