Camping in a River Valley - The Rain is HERE! | Ep 3

I spent the last few days of my Lake District trip camping in a river valley surrounded by Mountains. I wake up at 4:30am to go hiking to try and get a photo and learn beginner photography tips from landscape photographer and fellow youtuber Thomas Heaton. Tom has customised his van to suit his photography needs, he's sure got the van life nailed! Tom gives a tour of his awesome van conversion and we plan a route for the ideal photograph to take given the weather conditions. This is the final episode of my 4 day wild camping trip, where I went camping in a tent on a ridge, did an overnight solo camp in my truck, went swimming in a lake, fishing and much more! Thank you for watching.

Great video, although I would say that 👊 I have just watched it on a crowded train in Switzerland after 4 days in the mountains. There were a lot of people wondering why that smelly man is watching himself on KZbin. Seriously, it was an awesome little trip. Let's do more in winter.

[@TAOutdoors]

Thanks Tom, it sure was a great trip, the picture came out great in the end! Hope you had a great trip in Switzerland, looking forward to seeing the vids mate. Atb - Mike

[@Pwntasaurus]

What time, i will need to ask my wife if i can go....???

[@smokeybarr]

Just spend 4 days in the Swiss Alps myself! On the motorbike blasting up many of the amazing passes!

[@ChrisWilliamsRMWpigeon]

beautiful photo, worth getting up early for, that would be my dream job, hope to see more of you in mike's videos

[@adamdurham3943]

Your van is seriously cool! Just started following you on IG now, stunning photography.

[@TAOutdoors]

*LAKE* *DISTRICT* *ADVENTURE* *EPISODE* *3* - *FINAL* *EPISODE* - I finish up the last 2 days of the Lake District Trip down in a stunning river valley. Thank you to everyone who watched the series, I hope you enjoyed it? I know it is slightly different to my usual style, with the voice over narration etc. Next video is a long one and packed full of Bushcraft (thanks Bushcrafters for your patience!)

[@SwirlingSoul]

I have one request... longer drone shots! don't make them so short! I can watch easily twenty seconds of such a beautiful valley shot, and three seconds really is too short. I find myself pausing the screen just because i couldn't see enough of it! And silence is okay too, really.

[@hgn2090]

Most Beautiful Converted Van I've Ever See Great Features Nice Upholstery Everything Nice

[@srspower]

Just before light or just before dark always gives you the best photos or videos.

[@PikerBiker]

Thanks for sharing and inspiring as always Mike and thanks for introducing Tom.

[@markhyde1970]

Loving the amalgamation's with Thomas! Been following Tom for a while, now addicted to your channel, perfect mix. Follow your passion! Really admire you both and thoroughly enjoying watching.

[@bobmcelroy7289]

Absolutely loved it! Whether this style or bushcraft, alone, or with your family, you are one of the favorites of mine.

[@wendylee1525]

Thanks so much for taking us along on your trip. I really enjoyed each and every video in this series. As usual, some amazing photography!! I am sad this series is over but I know there is a lot more wonderful stuff to come!

[@BraxxJuventa]

A very nice adventure and well filmed too. Thank you for sharing this with us Mike! Thank you!

[@scottdunbar4898]

Enjoyed the entire trilogy Mike. What can I say? England is stunningly beautiful. Watching a master like Thomas at work was a treat. Thanks for the tour of the van. Well done good sir.

[@TrueLoveEternal]

Thanks for bringing us along Mike. It was breath taking.

[@virginiacopeland108]

Really nice van. My husband and I actually lived in something comparable for eleven years at a campground in Oregon, USA. We are now in a nice house, but we have always been happy either way.

[@ebbhjbbv8759]

Virginia Bradley hi

[@watchbavaria]

11 years? respect!

[@SpEeD5610]

I just started following your videos recently , sometimes i open a video to watch some parts of it but in the end i watch it from start to the end . thank you for one of the most entertaining channels on youtube ... keep up the good work

[@kts8806]

Tom's van is awesome! I like the idea of the truck bed just in case but the van is great!!

[@TheSiddy74]

Thom, your van is something special. I want one! Great video chaps, love this outdoors stuff. Thanks

[@joharmon2148]

My dream van! Landscape photography is my passion. What a great event nice work Mike and of course Tom.

[@SwirlingSoul]

Absolutely wonderful to watch! I always am sad of how quick it's over! and half an hour is not a short vid! ;-) Beautiful van, i could live in that for sure. And even more gorgeous picture! So worth the effort.

[@Lee1978R]

Thank you for bringing us on your adventure. It’s been an excellent series. Love this channel :)

[@jollyjollyme]

Thanks for another great video and for introducing me to Tom Heaton' KZbin channel. I have just recently learned how much effort goes into producing these videos and top marks for great topics and productions :-)

[@jamesellsworth9673]

Another good meet-up, complete with photographers' tips. He had quite the van conversion! Between the two of you: the van and the roof-top tent, viewers are learning more. Still, I long for a return to Badger's Rest, the Bushcraft camp and outing with you and your father!

[@antonioferranti2389]

I love seeing your evolution man. Youve improved so much and ive been watching for only about a year. Your editing and content and journey feels so natural and i really appreciate the efgort you put in to putting on this content. Very humble demineer. Keep up the good work Mike⚘⚘⚘

[@TAOutdoors]

Thanks man

[@ronnieahman6958]

Thanks Mike for a stunning series of your adventure, really enjoyed it. What a nice area you been to. Your presentation is truly professinal. Keep up the good work.

[@myfamilymatters]

Great video. You never disappoint and just keep getting better. That van is beautiful and functional.

[@etherd]

[@macjameson1930]

Very nicely done! Beautiful landscapes and water forms! That Lake District...🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿❤️❤️

[@RatdogDRB]

Great vids Mike !! Thanks for allowing us to tag along on the adventure.

[@Krestos]

[@markwalker6207]

Been watching your channel for a while, been subscribed for a bit. Seems you have stepped it up to a new level recently. The new stuff is pretty awesome, looking forward to more!

[@pauldargon1218]

Great series mate & appreciate the hard work you put into this filmmaking. It’s been some of my favorite stuff you have done so far 🤘

[@OutdoorVisuals]

Great adventures and awesome collab. Thanks for the introduction to Tom's channel ✊🏼

[@daveslifeover65]

Thank you Mike, You have given me a new perspective on England. I always had this idea that England is this rather small little island off the cost of France. But seeing the lovely stretch of trees and lakes reminded me of some parts of Ontario. Were pretty much the same except Ontario has more of it.

[@13thCP]

What a beautiful shot! Invoked so many feelings it was quite an emotional shot!

[@robertcoutts6035]

What an amazing film and adventure. I always enjoy films on your channel but this one especially so, it had elements of everything i have a keen interest in. Bushcraft,Fishing and photography. Its all there and not to mention the Kit used, Lets face it we are all Kit freaks to some degree. Many thanks Mike for making the films you provide us with and eagerly await the next instalment/Adventure.

[@TAOutdoors]

Thank you for the kind comment Robert

[@WrathOfNolla]

Stunning as all hell, mate. Wonderful to watch this series.

[@SourcePortEntertainment]

[@TAOutdoors]

Source Port Services thanks Danny, glad you take notice to it 👍🏻

[@SourcePortEntertainment]

@@TAOutdoors I know the time that goes into making even a short simple video. Respect brother!

[@SmeegzOutdoors]

I was up in the Lake District a few weeks back and was blown away by how dry it was! The tarn at Holme Fell was completely dry, hope it fills back up soon. Superb video as always :)

[@doug9418]

Heck yeah that was fun thanks for sharing this with us all, God Bless you and your family have a great day, 🇺🇸

[@frank25_]

You reached a complete new level with these episodes! Well done! If it was up to me you could do a complete separate episode with just the drone and nature shots from this series. Just amazing to see. Thanks /Henrik

[@TAOutdoors]

Many thanks Henrik

[@FelixImmler]

Hello Mike. Thanks a lot for this wonderful video. I enjoyed the wonderful landscape in this national park. Greetings from Switzerland Felix

[@TAOutdoors]

Thanks Felix!

[@reubenschronicles]

Bravo chaps!! A great video!! I have enjoyed the whole series Mike!!! Amazing job!!! All the best 😎

[@Jeff-jg7jh]

I watch Heaton a lot(so does everyone). But, it seemed like a relaxed candid situation. Kind of pure. That can't be created. We had a drought in the SW US 15 years ago or so. It was amazing that there was so little inflow to the lake that the water "settled out" and turned blue. Looked like Lake Tahoe in Nev. I'd never seen that in all the yrs I've lived here. Really interesting to see the impact the low water level had on you guys.

[@PrepperLady_Austria]

Wonderful adventure! I love the van. I rented a similar one (renault trafic) for my 3 week trip to norway this summer. It´s fantastic to explore a country with such a van. Love your videos. I´m looking forward to your next adventure!

[@SilentWoods123]

Loved it, personal I love the combination between the outdoors and bringing it al into a picture story. I feel the moment of the picture. Thanks fore sharing. Greetings Steven

[@jjruss2160]

the higlights of my week these videos they are!

[@neilt7191]

WOW . Awesome work Mike . That shot was definitely worth the effort .

[@TherzonlyJuan]

[@jasonsemp]

You guys are fantastic! Two of my favorite KZbinrs creating damn good content, together on one screen. I hope you do another collab soon.

[@taylorburns5770]

No way I literally went camping there with some friends about month ago. Great video dude, really enjoyed this trip series.

[@SBS15]

I was comfortable watching the video.❤️👍👍

[@edpoole3]

That van is super freakin’ cool. WANT!

[@leevi2138]

[@SurvivorMetalMan]

Brother, that seriously looked like an awesome time! Beautiful area, absolutely gorgeous country.

[@harryb1745]

Great video... Nice to get that variety of 'locations , scenery and collaboration with others. The out doors has so many people and experiences that can be shared, outdoor skills, camping, hiking, photography, fishing, hunting, canoeing kayaking etc. Looking forward to future videos... from ab.ca

[@jakubekkkk2457]

[@johnmcdowell1771]

Mike, I really enjoyed this set of videos from your 4 day camping trip. Thanks for sharing! If I was to suggest a location, it would be Argyll in Scotland, I sure would enjoying seeing the home of me ancestors. Keep up the good work, looking forward to your next great adventure.

[@umayrmostafa6491]

Great video mate! Keep these coming, so entertaining!

[@bspangler1398]

Brilliant van! and a great video (again). Thanks!!

[@Andysfishing]

If you ever get to Australia give me a Bell. We can do some cool colabs, catch some exotic fish and camp out.

[@TheGozman100]

Outstanding as always!!!!!

[@bigfatno]

I love photography, and always thought I'd be good at it, but figured out years ago that I don't have the artistic vision good/great photographers have. I just don't. I really enjoy seeing what photographers like Thomas do with a camera. My lack of artistic vision doesn't stop me from taking photos, though. I enjoyed this video, and the series. Thanks for sharing.

[@jennroks3]

That is the coolest van! ☺ awesome video!

[@ericduffield7723]

Tom's van is something out of a James Bond film! 😂
