CAMPING in wind, rain and fog | It’s not always glamorous

[@Funkteon]

As an Aussie, I'm jealous of the fact the UK and Europe are basically one big campground in a sense of how nice the ground is to camp on, but it feels like you can't truly escape humans or their structures, in that you're always within a few dozen miles of a human settlement - Something I like about Australia is that you can go hiking hundreds upon hundreds of miles away from any known human settlement and know that you are truly alone in the wilderness...

[@CheapCharlieChronicles]

Sometimes the inclement weather becomes the most memorable experience when outdoors.

[@joeydr1497]

Yeah my scout troop spent 15-16 hours in a tent. We zipped a kid outside with a cat and watched him through the bug mesh, apparently a cat is terrifying. Absolutely hilarious.

[@TrekkingPackingGear]

Yeah my second ever wild camp was in below freezing temps with mostly borrowed low budget equipment and we actually got pretty scared when our water began freezing and the spiritus was not burning. As always forecast was not right about the temp but it was a great experience and love to think about it now that its over 😄. But still, did not have the best night sleep 😬

[@cameronbowyer8056]

Me and the lads I go with all prefer to go in bad weather cause its some of the funniest times we have had

[@scottplumer3668]

It keeps the amateurs away, that's for sure!

[@HDvroom10]

Great! Would be interesting to see you unpack and how you care for your gear once back home!

[@rodnewman6519]

Despite being a pain in the backside trying to set up in foul weather I’ve had some of my best nights sleep out on Dartmoor in the wind and rain. Have to say Paul, you look so much happier now you have given up the day job. Wishing you every success for the future

[@Daydreameruk]

I thought this too. It’s great to see someone with such passion for the simple life. Perfect.

[@danielalpin967]

I had to bail last night, my tent (MSR Hubba Hubba) was making a right racket in the wind, gonna sell it I think and buy a scarp it looked SOLID. One upside was walking back in the dark I saw a barn owl!

[@totomesch1940]

Living the dream Paul! Well done on taking the biggest step, the step away from the "9 to 5" mentality to becoming the master of your own destiny...... Nice move. Nice shout-out to Bushman & Blue too, love that channel, in fact, all of you hiking/wild camping channels really helped me during a very tumultuous period in my life, so thanks for that! Upwards & onwards....... Towards.............

[@mcoppock214]

Topman Paul, just love that tent.

[@TelB]

Well done Paul! Seriously admire you! You help a lot of people especially when you mention the benefits to mental health. Look forwards to an open-day sometime perhaps. Your wife deserves some praise too! A great Team Member. All the very best!

[@tahtarizkyorigma]

Awesome place 👍🏻

[@marcelosilva6955]

Wild camping must always have good equipment for all difficulties and excellent camping. A subscriber here from Brazil

[@gordon7470]

What a difference those extra poles make! Impressed 👍

[@SimonEdwards]

Thanks for the shout Paul a true gent all the best mate thank you

[@timhobin8490]

You look so chilled...well done for getting off the wheel.

[@stugtodd2778]

The video/picture quality of your videos is first class.

[@cleverdaft]

Kinder kinder kinder! Another great video Mr M! Like a previous comment I’ve read, you seem like the cat that’s got a whole dairy now you’re a full time adventurerizer…! Keep up the good stuff sir..! 🙌🏼

[@kennethwilson8633]

Good thing you have good equipment. Have fun be safe.

[@gilljo1]

Thats a real camping video. Thanks and stay safe.

[@arthurdanielles4784]

We liked the Hollands steak and kidney puds (in foil wrap) popped into a pan to steam.. You can add the steam veg (Birds Eye) into the pan and cook with the puds.. Awesome!! 👀👍

[@ayb1470]

Yes!!! Another hot pudding and cold custard person ❤ my friends and family think I'm weird on this preference. Love your videos, when I can't get outdoors, your videos are the next best thing.

[@thequietprofessional8435]

Great vlog Paul, so pleased you managed to make that leap of faith and so glad to see the Scarp 1 out in the wind.......Keep up the good work and live the dream......

[@WalkWithWallace]

Good to see the Scarp 1 performing well mate, and chuffed the first month has gone well so far, long may it continue. 😎

[@gregcooper2719]

You make it look effortless... I'm quite jealous...

[@derrickfelix6206]

Paul, more like this would be fantastic setting up your gear to take on such weather, awesome. Hope to be following developing a like vlogs, in rough situations. With the best or right gear. I follow Gareth and Zoe, take on quiet amazing vlogs.

[@Fludded]

Hey Paul TV Producer here…. Really enjoying that you are using walking shots more but just wanted to give you a top pro tip and that is if you’re moving left to right in the frame, make it so that you keep moving left to right - unless the viewer sees the change of direction - otherwise it looks like you’re going back the way you’ve just come. Love your videos!

[@markexpose6108]

HELLO. WATCHING. CAMPING. VIDEO.

[@clovermark39]

Great to see all the camp being set up from tent to meal. Great stuff.

[@Eboat63]

And that's Paul, bad weather, iffy food and still keeps it real. Makes do, and maintains the priority of adding tips to improve your own experience. Nice.

[@StephenJReid]

Well chuffed to spot my channel on your list there 😁😁 Bought a Rab Ridge raider after seeing some of your videos, figured the cramped discomfort will provide some entertainment 😂

[@johnvanboolen7820]

Every day's a Saturday ! enjoy your time Paul

[@HikeandSeeker]

Lying awake listening to wind and rain is comforting somehow. I have never pulled my tent down in the rain. But I have hung a wet fly sheet on the back of my pack to dry a few times.

[@edwardkenny2356]

Crazy wind! Thanks, Paul, I very much enjoyed the video. Also... I'm glad to hear that things are going well after quitting your job 👍. Ed, from So. California.

[@neilhughes3529]

Nice! For the scarp poles I wrapped a bit of yellow tape round the middle of each end section of the centre pole (same colour as the sleeve) - that way you can easily tell it apart from the crossing poles. Maybe save you carrying extra bags for the different poles 👍

[@mickyjb2003]

Great stuff,thanks for the experience.

[@shaunsgonecamping5285]

I pitched up in that exact same area on bonfire night! Surprised I didn’t bump into you Paul! I couldn’t see 10 yards in front of me and I was just glad to be in my tent around 4:00 as it got dark at 4:30! Good night to be out

[@searchwest2811]

Another fantastic video Paul. Thank you for sharing. I really enjoyed it. Cheers 🍻

[@TheCoopsvids]

Another great night out mate ...thanks for taking us along 👍🏻

[@justme2640]

Scarp 1 is pretty bomber absolute beaut of a tent more great content and lovely view too . Cracking little camp out keep em coming 👍

[@1234andrewjones]

I’ve started buying gear every pay cheque and slowly but surely I am getting ready for a bit of outdoor camping - cannot wait

[@juliaford8462]

Thanks for showing a video where conditions aren't perfect. x

[@mattgoulden4779]

Right behind you mate.

[@DJunclepaul2nd]

Really good to see you mention other KZbinrs. I'm keen on UK based wild camping channels. There's plenty of time to fill watching content when you don't watch broadcast TV! I mentioned your sound quality (which is very good) to a uk guy who is a new channel with just a handful of subscribers. He is getting out there and camping. Even phones have decent images now, but bad sound ruins a video.

[@joshuaoconnor2471]

Great video, thanks Paul

[@RubberTramping]

99.9% of people would have sacked the idea, pure commitment hats off to you Paul for another great video 👌

[@terryrensch2561]

Another great video Paul pleased with the tent in strong winds as my one its one its way did the same as you got them to seam seal added the cross polls and and also got 6 extra guy lines it be in the garden with my doberman Karl he is 19 months old still bouncy but getting my gear together all ready to get out and wild camp hopefully see you one day on top of hill somewhere

[@HoratioNelson78]

So glad you are loving life Paul...Enjoy pal

[@thisoldcottage]

Genius Paul!!!! Old sock on the gas canister....... I found my gas struggling this weekend, so I'll be doing this straight away :-)

[@chunks1965]

Nice one Paul, agree with the review of the Firepot Spicy Noodles 2/10 from me. Glad the new 'job' has started well! another great video.

[@nikospapageorgiou57]

I prefer adventurous, over glamorous! Great nature video Paul !

[@jacksimper5725]

Give you 2 cheap tips .First get rid of the blow up pillow as it does your neck in over time and use a small pillow as you get in aircraft (even make one) Second get a small covered hot water bottle for heat in your sleeping bag ,this also is a backup water carrier .

[@bikepackingadventure7913]

Nice to see some paramo being used in harsh conditions. I love the stuff. 👍😏😊

[@philleith7827]

Cheers Paul enjoyed the video,cheers.

[@adventurebrews]

Great adventure that Paul. I love it up kinder!

[@Wheres_wanda_wandering]

What a difference a day makes. That waterfall was brilliant. Take care Gill

[@lagmanshep]

Brilliant video Paul, thanks for taking me camping again, i hope i did get in the way =8-), as some others have said, you looks so much happier since leaving your old job, well dome, i really hope things carry on good for you

[@btyc]

Your content is so spot on. I like camping in California when it’s 16-22c out, clear skies and cool evening, but I knew I loved camping when it’s pissing down, you’re shivering and been eaten alive by bugs but still enjoying yourself. Cheers Paul

[@thewiltshirewomble]

As you say Paul, it not always glamorous, but I love the challenge that the different weather brings and find it so rewarding. Great to see you up in the hills doing what you love and not worrying about a day job alongside. Thanks for sharing as always. Take care buddy. Cheers Mark

[@gemma6907]

Love the pudding ideas!

[@johnhill5806]

This is why I love my MSR Hubba Hubba tent, as you have plenty of room to set up and pack up when the outside isn't so pleasant. And it's still light and packs away really well. Thumbs up on hot pudding and cold custard, LOL!

[@StrykerMaguire205]

living the dream Enjoy

[@Freedom4Life40]

Thanks for braving the weather for another awesome video.

[@BurtReynoldstash]

I was up kinder on Friday night mate. In my scarp 1 ( no x pole). It was a bit wild with wind and clag. Headtorch needed to be dipped as just bounces of the clag. Earplugs are a winner for sure, tents amazing in such conditions, quick re tension a silent. Lovely sunrise sat morning tho. I was singing your praises packing up, that sponji cloth is a games changer. Proper sucks the water up. Makes tent loads lighter on the way down. Nice one 👍

[@paulstubbs1843]

There’s a hook point directly above the doors on the Scarp... I moved my lantern to that on last camp

[@66oggy]

Your camp was very close to my regular spot. On the plateau you can tuck between various rock formations just south of Red Brook, and about fifty yards to the east of the Pennine Way. You look down on the path, but you are hidden ..... Fantastic spot.

[@TravelswithRosie]

Loving the B roll Paul.

[@МаксимЕремин-я6т]

Yeah thats cool love such videos

[@kidda74]

"Does it get any better than this" Should be printed on the back of all your merch! 😂

[@robjeavons5982]

Great video thanks some good shots

[@rowielumasacjr.6007]

Great video as always Paul ♥️

[@ryankuhn926]

This was awesome! Leveled up!!! 👊🏻🍻

[@onenoodles]

Ahhhh Kinder ... never one to underestimate ... once came close to disaster up there when me and a pal were mountain biking on a day that began in clear blue frosty sunshine and two hours later it was a total white out, knee deep snow and 5 yard visability ... it was my most frightning moment I have ever had outdoors, forecast was not for that and it changed in a heart beat ... we were struggling to see a way off as the driving snow was making everything go belly up and thgen ran into two very experienced fellas who were trying to get down too ... they saw us off in one piece but I have never forgot it. Great video Paul and glad that you are loving your new life.

[@markosbroughton5573]

Great stuff Paul you always look positive even when the weather is terrible.

[@BakaDeru]

I thought I've been unsubscribed, but YT is playing shenanigans with the notification bell. Now I have a backlog of videos to watch!

[@williammay6879]

Great video as always and happy to hear your enjoying your new adventure. Well deserved! Just put my order in for the scarp 1 2022 version so can’t wait to get it out in some windy conditions.

[@LavameruJejak]

hi uncle, i just found your channel, and i really like it, watch and enjoy it and inspire me, thank you uncle, i'm a child who likes adventure and action in the wild with my dad, i support you uncle, hopefully healthy always and we can keep connected. warm greetings from lavameriu in Indonesia.

[@davegibb3175]

They are the best days

[@Lee-70ish]

At least you use your kit Paul. The number of bloggers who seem to have piles of gear some of it hugely expensive and only appear to use it once or twice a year if that.

[@TheAdventureGeek]

Love the sock idea over the gas canister Paul! Great tip and another fab video

[@AdrenochromeDome]

Your a top lad Paul! keep on chasing your dreams brother!

[@bobguy3939]

My kind of weather 😌

[@sofie4815]

Amazing video! And the gas canister cosie was a great tip! 👍🏻 Thanks!

[@marycarter6186]

Backpacked the Ouachita trail in Arkansas last weekend, and it was much like this: misty and foggy at elevation and wind gusts up to 50 mph!! What a great trip as the next morning dawned calm and with blue skies. So glad you're following your bliss, Paul. By the way when I first started out backpacking a few years ago, it was your video I watched on how to pack my backpack. Brilliant and helpful--thank you!!!

[@stevenjohnson2465]

Sat in the ramblers in edale as you spent the night up kinder. Spent the night there and then went for a hike today..bloody breezy to say the least. When i get a tent to fit me i will be up there, until then its game stew and guinness..which was nice...

[@oliverlindsey1363]

Great content Paul! Thank you and keep up the good work.

[@summitwithstevie6934]

Haha fair play to you going out in that hoolie It is a different ball game eh doing everything from within the tent. On my last outing I also had crazy winds and end up packing up at 6am and walking onto my 2nd munro in the wind, clag and darkness. I take my hat off to you for continuing to film as i just put my camera away to concentrate on getting packed up as quickly as possible

[@maurice5992]

Glad it's going well, Paul. Great vid, felt the chill from here....Brrrrrrrr

[@thecolofthewild]

Great video. That tent is rock solid. Kinder is on my to do list and that edge just down from Kinder Low is definitely a priority. Walked up there plenty of times but never wild camped.

[@kke]

Sometimes I use the tiny pump to deflate the ether light for packing, it's hard to get all the air out by rolling.

[@TechnikalKO]

That is exactly the type of weather I had the day I went up Snowdon. Seeing as how I'm an American and was on vacation, it was a bit of a disappointment. But also an excuse to return for another go!

[@marklockwood1084]

Thinking of a first time wild camp paul its very useful seeing you put up tent for me

[@davesheffield3620]

Loving that tent 👍

[@matthewoliver6655]

I am glad you are doing this as a job, Paul. Great work, keep it up. I am sure you have more fun at this job than your last hon. Cheers

[@ACE19688]

Good camp that. Love the bad weather stuff something special about being challenged.

[@CalvertE98]

Great content and love that you are thriving mate

[@lilbyrne2570]

love it! 👍

[@wmorton]

it was interesting to see how you managed with the high winds. thanks

[@scooby1446]

Really love your videos Paul. I want to start camping myself & will start in spring when the weather gets better. Great videos once again, cheers. 👍🏼

[@bonniebhawkinscreativetv3965]

I Just SUBSCRIBED TO YOUR CHANNEL and love it, in the Video the fearless Winds and thick fog seemed to present a challenge, but it seemed to took it like a champ, and took us on a wild Adventure, full of joyful excitement, thanks so much for sharing your amazing camping adventure with us, gave you a thumbs up 👍🏻 for wild adventure.

[@Lightfur]

Good stuff Paul, really enjoyed that!

[@aaronkrey6828]

Jetboil MiniMo and some food + PUNK IPA + M&Ms = Perfect chill time, no matter the conditions :) Thanks Paul for the vidéo !

[@Keep-Moving-Forwards]

Great vid as usual Paul, thank you. Wind is a pain in the bum & I've always hated it when it's too strong, just makes everything harder. One thing you could do to identify the difference in the poles is to wrap some coloured tape on the cross poles. I have a length of silver duct tape on my canoe paddles in a place that I don't grip & it's come in handy a few times.
