[@88woodbikes]

Great video Peter. That was the clearest explanation I've heard on re-hydration and glucose utilization. Thank you

[@MINDWISEMAN]

88woodbikes Thanks & good to know the details are informative. Cheers

[@SurvivorMetalMan]

Excellent video, love all of them, great info and great locations, keep on keeping on!

[@MINDWISEMAN]

torrenism Thanks XL for the positive words!

[@goetzemj]

Thanks Pete, great video. I ride mountain bikes and usually only drink water from a camelbak, had never thought to crunch a lollie every now and then. Will get onto that pronto. Cheers Matt

[@MINDWISEMAN]

Goitsy Thanks Matt, good to know the info's of help. Cheers

[@Zedoutdoors]

A superb video and hike Pete, and what kindness from your friend to carry your backpack when you sustained that injury. Fitness and well being is something im big into too so was insightful hearing the last segment. Many thanks for sharing my man ~Peace~

[@MINDWISEMAN]

Zed Outdoors Cheers Zed. Yeh my Sherpa of a mountain goat mate lol is 2nd to none plus it helps when you are both switched on the same level regarding both coming from the same mind set, that sort of thing can make or break a situation. Good to know the epilogue (which is being edited into 2 parts) was informative for you. Thanks for watching & your comment, Namaste

[@GhostHawkPrepper]

Great trek/hike and great info at the end! As always, thanks for sharing!

[@MINDWISEMAN]

GhostHawk Prepper Thanks for your comment - much obliged!!

[@fog360]

I had an experience a bit like you hiking in Cornwall I took a bad fall.Some guys I did not even know waking the same coast line as me carried my pack and even helped me setup my camp.There are still good people left in the world.I enjoy this video top man Pete

[@MINDWISEMAN]

+fog360 Survival and Bushcraft specialist For sure Rich, good to have people especially in ones group that can pull out the stops when push comes to shove. Nov' 2013 was another experience whereby them thar mount & hills can rip into you with unpredictable weather, we got caught in a twister on the brow of P Y F. Glad you liked the vid. Cheers

[@MihaliWheeler]

Great video.. Like the hydration bit. As a sports massage therapist. I am always having to explain this to my gym clients. Well done

[@MINDWISEMAN]

+Mihali Wheeler Thanks for the feedback, much appreciated. Good to know you're involved in health well being.

[@alanroberts4060]

Top draw Pete,,,,You are the best prepper out there by miles.

[@MINDWISEMAN]

+alan roberts Thanks for watching Alan

[@RCseeker]

Thank for this. I always enjoy your outdoors videos but am really looking forward to the videos as you outline in the epilogue.

[@MINDWISEMAN]

Fred E Thanks for your continued interest & letting me know your thoughts about the vid. Cheers

[@benfoot4212]

Another awesome vid. I want to get over there one day and make that hike. Thanks for sharing.

[@MINDWISEMAN]

Judge Dread Thanks Judge. Although the UK is small there are lots of wild national parks we can explore, all worth a trek or 2. Cheers

[@TacBlades]

Great great vid, i was there recently did a vid, i think people in general underestimate beacons, the terrain, weather and remoteness of the place make it quite a dangerous place especially if you are off the trails. I have a lot of first aid for twisted ankles in my bag as its can happen at any time, cold and heat treatments, compression bandages and support bandages etc helps me a lot if i am on my own. I think the thing is found most surprising out there was the wind, the backpack acted like a sail and nearly took me off a ridge a few times getting up to 70mph. Was a real surprise for me. Love the wildness of the place :) Again great vid as always for of useful and unique information :)

[@MINDWISEMAN]

Tac Blades Thanks for the detailed feedback Tac. Yes Brecon Beacons & Black Mountains are very unpredictable once you go above 700 mtrs, got its own weather system for sure that's why spec' ops train up there. Had plenty of support/stretch self stick bandages, always good to have in kit espesh up them hills. Me & the goat got caught in a twister (you may have seen the epilogue at end of vid of previous visit 2013) on way back up track to Fan last time. "All weather all terrains" :-) Good to know the vid was informative. Cheers

[@fepowson]

Enjoyed the video Pete and, all the hints and tips on taking care of the body and its welfare. I must mention, that is the emptiest Gym I've seen :) Good Wishes....Les.

[@MINDWISEMAN]

fepowson Glad you liked it Les & found it all of interest. Empty gym - that's the beauty of using corporate premises whereby everyone only uses the gym lunchtime or straight after work for an hr or so :-)Cheers

[@ForBritannia]

Great video :) I always look forward to watching your journeys

[@MINDWISEMAN]

Alex Milligan Thanks Alex, good to know.

[@DeanReadYorkshire]

Thanks for the video Pete, loved the epilogue section, its the first time hydration and calorie intake have been explained in a simple way that really sunk in. I have a council sports centre 200 yards from where I live, you have motivated me to go across and join. To be honest I have lived here for 25 years and have joined and lost motivation loads of times over that period, as you say motivation is key. Thanks again Pete, all the best Dean. East Yorkshire.

[@MINDWISEMAN]

***** Thanks for watching & your explanatory comment Dean - nice one. Good to know the Info's motivated to consider getting bit of body conditioning on track - "all good stuff" Get up them Yorkshire hills :-)

[@spaceisbig7910]

Very interesting video, this is has made me think more about recovery after a hard day in the brecons.Thx

[@MINDWISEMAN]

[@MINDWISEMAN]

Steven Close Thanks Steve - good to know. Cheers

[@pnwadventuresandgearreview8749]

Love the epilogue would like to see more on subject as a separate video series great stuff!

[@MINDWISEMAN]

Jason Chasteen Thanks Jason, epilogue split into 2 parts now as 2 separate vids on isotonic & energy replacement. May do more similar stuff in near future but it can become somewhat contraindicative due to peoples health conditions & how they misinterpret the information. Cheers

[@lkelectrical9722]

Hi pete I found this a great video. We are putting a team together for the south downs 100k 2016 and this info will greatly help up us prepare.

[@MINDWISEMAN]

+Thrive n Survive Good to know it's of interest/use. Have a good one!

[@pawoutdoors9290]

Great vid enjoyed it. Nice to live in a place where you can leave food in your tent.

[@MINDWISEMAN]

Thanks. Yes I was in a place only marauded by sheep, birds & maybe the odd lonely fox. Not many threatening creatures in the UK.

[@bladesmark1]

Bit of advice ..... When making a brew never put the milk in with the teabag it doesn't brew properly & it tastes like pond water.

[@MINDWISEMAN]

+Stevo 1971 In the middle of nowhere it aint a biggy, tea bag & powdered milk!! hot sweet n tea flavoured did the job thanks very much.

[@wanderingranger4208]

Another great adventure with an interesting info segment at the end. Looking forward to your fitness videos coming up. All the best Ranger

[@MINDWISEMAN]

Thanks for viewing/comment.

[@outaboutwilts]

Well done Pete! Roger

[@MINDWISEMAN]

OutAboutWilts Thanks Roger!

[@paulyoung3504]

Excellent video Pete. "Bravo Zulu"..I'd been having a few rehydration issues myself in recent years, particularly during strenuous "2, or 3, dayers". Started suffering cramp in my back and ribs later in the evenings when trying to settle in my bag for the night. I'd made the mistake of thinking that continuously slurping water would be enough in itself. (I remedied this partially through taking a few electrolytes tablets) Great advice with the water-sugar ratio. I'll be taking plenty of boiled sweets in future. ATB

[@MINDWISEMAN]

Thanks for the positive feedback, glad the info' helped.

[@nebiantel]

Thanks Pete, great video!

[@MINDWISEMAN]

Luciano Nebiante Thanks for the thumbs up!

[@nebiantel]

I enjoy watching your videos! Your knowledge is well grounded and based on first line experience! Cheers

Your positive words much appreciated, it's good to know you understand where I'm coming from regarding the content of what I do.

[@glencollins2374]

Great Info.... Thanks !

+Glen Collins Cheers

[@3496clem]

hi pete glad you enjoyed brecon just a little pointer for yourself as you obviously enjoy outside and culture of where you visit the mountains around where you went corn du (corn dee) is how it is pronounced and pen-y-fan is (pen-ur-van) nice vid

[@MINDWISEMAN]

+3496clem Thanks clem. Yeh that's the prob with pronouciations of different nationality words. There's more than enough accents in England & it's only one country :-)

[@reecorees9552]

Pete, I am about 12 minutes in. I hope your hip and ankle are better. What Dave did there by carrying your bergen was different class. Back to the vid. ATB Reeco

[@MINDWISEMAN]

Reeco Rees Yes all good thanks, nothing major just needed to stop the situation from compounding further so we kept on the move then I took Daves kit for the last part.

[@reecorees9552]

Top Man. ATB. Reeco

[@neilcastell6951]

i've camped about 500m from your camping spot about 3 years back, i came in from the other direction thou, its a good/secluded spot,

[@MINDWISEMAN]

neil castell It was a detour from our original destination but well worth it for the solitude, great place all round for sure.

[@lordkestlerful]

Thank you I love your vids. Wish I could go with

[@MINDWISEMAN]

+Frank Trempe Thanks for your interest!

[@wibble1999]

superb!!!

[@MINDWISEMAN]

Cheers.

[@funkyprepper]

brilliant to see you out on brecon with mg on the case pete. cant get over how may calories you burn through lol good pointers on hydro too - i call it 1 in 10 every ten ;) pre mixed 3l bladder - a mouth full every 10 mins when tabbing with kit - nice and steady iso levels :)

[@MINDWISEMAN]

funkyprepper Yes mate was grand to get up them mounts n hills again. The goat defies all odds concerning the hydration & carbs - perpetual motion on legs without needing the bio/iso/carbo blahdy blah lol. I have to keep to the book - just eat shed loads to keep going that's my excuse lol. Wanna get back up there & similar (maybe Peak Dist') another couple of times this year.

[@48plaster]

great video pal. Good kit review and plenty of grub!! how much did your pack weigh as a matter of interest. I agree with taking what you need to an extent even if it slows you down a little. I went out with a pal of mine not long ago with minimal kit and spent a very cold, un-comfortable night without adequate sleeping gear. best regards and keep up the good work.

[@MINDWISEMAN]

alan kelsall Thanks Alan glad you liked it. 15.8kgs - no probs with it. Your last sentence sums up taking light weight to extremes. ATB

[@HowlingDingoBushcraftChannel]

Good stuff...

[@MINDWISEMAN]

Howling Dingo Thanks!

[@TheArgos12]

You should try adhering a puff ball made of wool or cotton, like puff balls found found in a sewing store, over the cameras microphone to try and cut down on wind noise when outdoors. not sure how well it will work but it's something you can try and experiment with. Cheers, Tom.

[@MINDWISEMAN]

+TheArgos12 Thanks for the suggestion Tom, yeh I get comments regarding muffling the sound but for me as long as you can decipher my words if the wind's blocked out it loses the atmosphere of what it's like up there. If you're actually there - there's no muffling unless you cotton wool your earholes. May muffle mic in the future. Cheers

[@patrickmclaughlin2776]

hi pete, i enjoyed ur vid especially the 2nd part in the gym a lot of stuff i didnt kno so tnx for the info, atb. paddy

[@MINDWISEMAN]

+L.N.T. 64 Thanks Paddy, glad the Epilogue is of help!

[@bitingmongeese-geoffreybyn8311]

Pete, another great video. Were those McVities shortcake bickies with raisins to go along with your tea? Love them.

[@MINDWISEMAN]

+Biting Mongeese - Geoffrey Bynoe Thanks. Yep raisin shortcakes....& you've got to dunk them :-)

[@chrisdawson3181]

Great vid as always Pete. Will you be doing any more canoe vids. All the best. Chris

[@MINDWISEMAN]

Chris Dawson Thanks Chris. Yes 2 canoe themed vids recently uploaded. Cheers!

[@NateBuker]

Just how heavy was that pack? Bummer about the hip and ankle. I have a badly-healed broken big toe, hurts like hell on the trail. Love the epilogue, look forward to the final edit. I've seem to sweat out tons of water I'm hoping your tips here help me use my intake more efficiently. Cheers!

[@MINDWISEMAN]

Nate Buker 15.8kgs no probs with the carry Nate. Yes we simply have to work around any ailments we have or we'd end up doing nothing. Good to know the hydrate info's of help & interest - more up v soon. Cheers

[@scottsmith2554]

Hey Pete great video. I should of subscribed to your page sooner. Me matthew and cassie would of tagged along made some more welsh cakes haha

[@MINDWISEMAN]

+Scott Smith Thanks Scott, hope all's well, Bet you guys will be getting up there regular soon.....stoked with welsh cakes :-) Maybe tally again in the near future. Cheers

[@jamessd7677]

Another good vid Peter, only one criticiism, why don't you post more, they're always worth a good good look.

[@MINDWISEMAN]

James Stewart Dunn Thanks James, your continued interest is much appreciated. More in depth vids planned & in the pipeline. Cheers

[@sfisher661]

Hi mate nice vid last time i was up the Fan was senior brecon, good memories. I'm sure we served together in the past?

[@MINDWISEMAN]

+sfisher661 It's a great place to be, the weather can change at the drop of a hat so one needs to be physically/mentally prepared for it.

[@RDPproject]

"Dog Soldiers"...remember the opening scene with the tent?...where the Werewolf opens the zipper and grabs the girl... 22:44 reminded me of that :-)

[@MINDWISEMAN]

RDPproject Haaaa we ran out of cam battery to film just before we culled the w/wolf & cam fire cooked it :-)

[@MINDWISEMAN]

D Strom: check out "Discussion" on your channel page for the answer!!

[@johnmclean5957]

Too much gear. I'd be knackered!

[@MINDWISEMAN]

John McLean lol

[@40something.55]

Hi I was enquiringly about your overall knowledge. Military have extensive knowledge of both survival, fitness and nutrition. This is why I asked about your back ground. I am just interested to learn where you obtained you foundation for what I think is your great understanding of camping , survival etc.

[@MINDWISEMAN]

+Gary Nicholls Your enquiry taken in good stead Gary. Over 20 years qualified PT with other pre requisites needed for performance related activity which includes anything athletic to physical endurance e.g trek/hike & fuelling the body. Have worked with military personnel also, not served (all be it worked for the MOD). All this type of knowledge as you say is beneficial to the outdoors pursuits I do plus share it in this vid, but the information has to be "best practice" meaning there's so many things to consider with peoples physical condition & personal health so only the basic details should be shared because it's unprofessional/irresponsible to make details too involved. Hope that last sentence makes sense. Cheers.

[@Drewboo1968]

Enjoyed the vid, but what about isotonic hydration if you happen to be diabetic?

[@MINDWISEMAN]

You'd need to check it out with medical advisors/s e.g. GP. No medical advise given here as subjects like this in my book need to be approached individual 1 to 1, not good practice giving "advice" on social media, only "guidance", there's a difference between the two regarding the health/fitness industry. The info' in my vids are general guidance based on scientific facts, if a person has a medical condition to consider then they need to approach things personally. Thanks viewing & the enquiry.

[@Mrcatcherye]

there's enough food going on there to feed the five thousand! :)

[@isaacm8267]

now that i got married...its kids skillets orders haha

[@MINDWISEMAN]

lol :-)

[@benjnr2815]

Would you really use all of that food in 24 hours? good video though

[@MINDWISEMAN]

Ben Jnr I explained in different parts of the vid the whys/when/wherefores of taking the food. 1/ snack on trail, 2/ pasta once set up & brew, 3/ late beef dinner/rice pudding brew & bics, 4/ tinned fish & bread wraps brew. 90% consumed with the rest finished off down from Fan Fawr. Like I said in epilogue (I explained quite a lot about body fuelling & the reasons behind it) - I've fast metab' I know what I want to eat from experience & where I go/what I do. If people want to eat like sparrows when they've burnt off a shed load of calories or simply choose not to eat much then that's fine by me :-)Thanks for watching.

[@reecorees9552]

how are the ticks over there?

[@MINDWISEMAN]

[@bigpunk7]

How much did all that kit weigh? Thanks

[@MINDWISEMAN]

bigpunk7 15.8 kgs..............heavy for some...not for me. Cheers

[@rochellelee4002]

Pete, as a type 2 Diabetic, how would I adjust my hydration drinks? I am supposed to keep my sugar intake low. My room mate seems to have this idea that I need real sugar.

[@rochellelee4002]

Fair enough.

[@MINDWISEMAN]

Rochelle Lee still looking? alive has summarised the situation. I have assessed diabetics for exercise but only with certain medical criteria applied i.e. medical records/references of such individual & applying knowledge that an exercise professional needs/has to know regarding many medical conditions. Any medical condition a PT professional has to consider a pro forma form questionnaire is always applied & as much medical history can be assessed with doctors references. Also each client needs to be seen to be taking personal responsibility as to their condition what ever it is. You also need a GP/medical advisor who understands about exercise (a lot don't) so they can give you the relevant info regarding carb intake for effective results within exercise whilst considering the diabetic condition. You would already know about intake slow release carbs helping to keep diabetic condition in check (just one example) I'm not a doctor but my experience/qualifications have had to encompass many medical conditions coz that's the nature of the job, just like a doc or GP would send a patient to a PT to get healthy fit. As I said in the epilogue one needs to get 1 to 1 especially if there's a medic condition to consider, it can't be done over the internet hence why my vids are going to be basic lay mans terms so people can take self responsibility with a little info to get them on track. Hope you can get on track soon :)

[@rochellelee4002]

Thank you Pete, I should be able to see my Doctor next month. I tackled cleaning up the yard yesterday and really took a toll, but today, I feel a lot better than before.

[@MINDWISEMAN]

Rochelle Lee Hope you can get things sorted better so your activities are easier & apply your self more efficiently.

[@rochellelee4002]

One day at a time with determination. =)

[@grumpyoldman7382]

[@grumpyoldman7382]

Glad all is well, look forward to your next adventure

[@asheradog474]

Nice vid Pete, I'm nearly 75 now so I don't do much of anything, used to wild camp when it took two men and a donkey cart just to carry your sleeping bag lol. I have got a serious question for you though, don't you get pissed off with that one person who can always do it better for longer? ATB Tone

[@MINDWISEMAN]

+PeewitPatrol Survivor Thanks for your feedback Tone. Nought much really pisses me off unless it's someone invading my private space verbally or physically lol. All the better if you're with ones who can perform well, there's always something a person can contribute to any calculated challenge whether it's mind set or physical abilities. Cheers

[@MINDWISEMAN]

+PeewitPatrol Survivor Ahaa...got the jist now Tony....I now know exactly what you mean :-)

[@asheradog474]

+MINDWISEMAN Thanx Pete. They must be bloody unbearable to live with lol

[@tomje7024]

I don't think I've ever seen anyone take that much food into the beacons on a 24h expedition for ONE person in my whole life

[@MINDWISEMAN]

Tom Eason that was being minimalist....

[@tomje7024]

MINDWISEMAN haha that must be a joke!

[@johnb365]

bit of weight there with the hard plastic containers biscuits, tea bags etc. just put em in plastic bags. just a thought. atb jB

[@MINDWISEMAN]

john b plastic box weight is negligible, keeps everything together no big issue as far as I'm concerned instead of bags of broken stuff all over the place, if peeps wanna bag all their stuff then fair dooz

[@andyw3152]

Can I just ask why you bother with a kettle, and not just use a pan, at least with a pan it packs up better, and you can still boil in no time at all. Really enjoyed the video.

[@MINDWISEMAN]

As stated at 3.30 in the video. Was only boiling water - easier/quicker in easy carry lidded kettle instead of faffing around with less practical at boiling water - mess tin/pan

[@andyw3152]

Cool, no worries. Just wondered, I'm fairly new to wild camping.

[@MINDWISEMAN]

Video responses etc all in good faith. You'll get your basic ideas/kit to apply to each pursuit then from experience apply what works best for you i.e. tent/tarp/backpack fod etc etc. One example of mine - I've acquired bits of cook kit that have eventually fitted together albeit they were separate items e.g. kettle featured in this vid fits into 1.2 ltr saucepan which then fits into a small fry pan which all fits in zip pouch that came with kettle. Sometimes it's much more practical depending on what/where you're going/doing to have separate boiling water device with cook pan so each thing can be done without every time cleaning out cook pan. Oh yeh plus you can eat out of cook pan whilst boiling up a brew.

[@andyw3152]

We're off up to the Brecons on the 12th November. The only area that I am not sure on is with clothing, especially at night. I got a really good set of thermal base layers used for my scuba diving in a dry suit, so I will be taking that with me. Other than all the usual stuff plus waterproofs. I've no idea of the temperatures up there then, but have been there in Feb before, plenty of snow.

[@owenjosephking7396]

I have found out that I am diabetic and find it all very confusing ! What can I do ?

[@MINDWISEMAN]

+Owen Joseph King This vid included simple things the body needs under healthy conditions. If you're concerned get medical advice. At least keep hydrated regular even it isn't carb isotonic i.e. without sugar base.

[@majabo10]

hola por favor en idioma español

[@40something.55]

Hi. You quote experience. Don't take this wrong. What experience do you have are you ex forces??

[@MINDWISEMAN]

+Gary Nicholls Regarding "experience" & this video what part or subject are you referring to & what does it have to do with military. My reply is a question not a statement. Thanks

[@ukrosko]

Light weight camping and you are taking a kneeling mat and food in tin cans? you could probably trim a few more ounces and save some space

[@MINDWISEMAN]

Certainly, decant tinned food then palaver of re containing the stuff in a burstable bag or plastic box saving minimal weight of 3 - 4 oz. Nought wrong with kneeling mat when sitting/kneeling on unpredictable ground un pitched non sheltered. If space/less weight was needed a different approach would be applied.

[@oxusriver]

lighten the load of your kit...less strain on your back, less chance of injury to your limbs.. army surplus for bushcraft vids, ultra light gear for hiking my big three weighs two kilos.. shelter sleeping system and bag.. my bushcraft kit can weigh what it wants, but not my hiking kit, it must be light..

[@MINDWISEMAN]

Vespasian Tell me something I don't already know. My kit on this trek had nothing to do with leg condition or injury. I take what I need not light weight just for the sake of it, everything I took I used. Believe me I've seen people with twice the load than mine for an overnighter. Give me a link if you have a video on the subject.

[@bazmor67]

you must be a doctor or something like that. my head is spinning with all that stuff.

[@MINDWISEMAN]

+baz mor Nothing that exclusive, simply qualified personal trainer (over 20 yrs) with all the other credentials that go with it

[@LLACEM]

What if your Diabetic

[@MINDWISEMAN]

[@LLACEM]

MINDWISEMAN about the advice on keeping up your liquid intake with the sugar and water obviously diabetics body cant deal with the sugar i do a lot of long distance walking 20-30 miles a day i would say that one of those boiled sweets with water would be ok. exellent video though. regards PAUL.

[@MINDWISEMAN]

paul cox Good to know some of it's of help!

[@dstorm7752]

Why identify the area where you've wild camped? Doesn't this inform any authority that people are trespassing and thus lead inexorably to more bureaucratic restrictions?

[@MINDWISEMAN]

+D Storm It was a wild camp not a stealth camp, 100s of people do the same thing all year round.

[@dazedandconfused698]

Weigh too much weight. Lighten up dude
