Canoe Camping - Ullswater - Lake District - Old Town Pack Canoe - Beer Review

[@tomhockneyunplugged7856]

Me and the lads are aiming to head up to the Lakes from Hull soon. I've been before plenty. Buying a shovel this time so that not only can I clean my fire properly, but I can tidy any others I see left around. It brings me a sense of pride to leave a forest area in a better state than I found it. Cheers for the video, very peacful!

[@mikeodonovan7325]

cracking video excellent insight well worth a watch thanks for putting it up really liked it bravo time well spent cheers

[@Adventure-Outdoors]

Thanks Mike 👍

[@hutchinsonsadventures4678]

made so many memories on ullswater. now living here in Australia for just over a year now

[@chrisandsamlivingthedream]

Good vid buddy .. love the canoe, nice size .. we got silmilar size paddle board .. & kyack..enjoyed vid , cheers Chris & Sam

[@davelynoutdoors6654]

Thanks for another great video, beautiful spot, looking forward to taking my canoe to the lakes for a camp. My hair started receding, vanity had left me so I got the clippers out, I felt liberated. I now find fishing, camping or anything that involves staying out of a few nights, no problem. Wash your face and head at the same time. Trust me you’ll never look back.

[@Adventure-Outdoors]

Cheers mate. Yeah I think the hair cut is here to stay, no hassle hair! 😂. Good luck with your canoe camping 👍🛶

[@paulbazeley2190]

Love your videos dude, keep up the good work and already looking forward to the next one lol ✌️

[@Adventure-Outdoors]

Cheers Paul 👍

[@JamesFleming888]

Great video - cheers.

[@DazMcNab767]

Fantastic as always. I’ve camped at Ullswater before. One of my favourite spots.

[@mariusmonsen]

Your Trangia gas burner have a pre heater. That means that you can turn the canister up side down after approx 20 secs of burning, to get full effect even at low temps. Remember to turn the effect way down before flipping the canister👍

[@Adventure-Outdoors]

Cheers, I'll try that out! 👍

[@darrenwells6323]

Really enjoyed watching the trip and makes look forward to further my own outdoor canoe trips post lock down

[@Adventure-Outdoors]

Cheers Darren, it was great to finally get out for an overnighter with the canoe 👍.

[@glassassoc]

Great camera work and honest pack canoe review, beautiful trip, thanks

[@Adventure-Outdoors]

Thanks mate 👍

[@OneLifeOverland]

I can vouch for those temps on Monday. We were up in Snowdonia and it was absolutely baltic going to bed. We paddled around Ullswater during a break in lockdown last year, stunning place.

[@Adventure-Outdoors]

Aye it's cold mate, roll on summer!

[@aspects100]

Cheers Ben for a glimpse of getting back to normality! What stunning views and beer reviews, I certainly won’t be coming to you for a haircut that’s for sure.. love the canoe too. Certainly food for thought to have a canoe and find those hidden beaches etc. I’ve not managed to get my wild camp yet as work takes over (I’m self employed) but I will. Russ (Manchester) insta explore.4more 👍🏻🏕

[@Adventure-Outdoors]

Cheers Russ, yeah canoes are great, perfect for finding quiet places away from the crowds. Probably best to wait a short while before getting your first wild camp done mate, it's bloody freezing at the moment (the haircut doesn't help mind 🤣). ATB 👍

[@barnaclebill3483]

Great video. Love the anorak jacket

[@RiverRatJimmy]

Good to see you get back out mate. I managed to get out with my lad (Adbenture Life on KZbin) last week in the Lakes for a scramble, we'll be getting the canoe out next. Thanks for the video.

[@Adventure-Outdoors]

Cheers Andy. Good weather for canoeing at the moment 👍.

[@aabbushcraft]

Great video mate👍 just got a inflatable kayak for my birthday, so hopping to give it a go very soon🤗

[@Adventure-Outdoors]

Cheers mate, you'll have plenty of wild camping options over the summer with your kayak! 👍🛶

[@hughelvin7919]

Ha Ha, I did the same haircut with my daughter's clippers, I looked like I'd been scalped LOL. Great video mate enjoyed it a lot. Hugh

[@Adventure-Outdoors]

Cheers Hugh! I think these haircuts will catch on 😂👍.

[@whatsnottohike]

Lovely video, it must be great to be back out! Can't wait to visit the UK again for some wild camps. Enjoy! :-)

[@Adventure-Outdoors]

Cheers!

[@FredJumayao]

Great content as always... love it - no fish have a beer. I bet more fish have more beer! Thanks for sharing your adventures with us!

[@Adventure-Outdoors]

Cheers Fred! 👍

[@johnmccarron]

Elasticated bandage cut to size(doubled) wrap the gas cannister while your out.

[@Colinrussellscottishwildcamper]

Another great video, looked a great trip, the joys of a canoe, atb👍🛶🏕👌

Cheers Colin 👍

A really nice film from a beautiful lake, well done to to Sir. 👍👍👍🍺🍺🍺🍺

[@Adventure-Outdoors]

Thanks! 👍

[@OysterBoysBrewingCo]

Love the lakes, I’m up there normally once a month! Looks bliss.

[@margotvervust8362]

Looks like a great area! :) All the best, Ben!

[@Adventure-Outdoors]

Hey Margot, hope you're well! Could've done with the Folding Fire in the evening though, it got cold 🥶

[@ianlyons5737]

Hi marra, I’ve just managed to get myself a Second hand Old Town Charles River, (can’t buy anything new at the moment), you mention you have a bigger boat I’m curious as to what that is? Cheers - great content by the way

[@Adventure-Outdoors]

Cheers! I have and Old Town Camper 16, not too dissimilar to the Charles River. Great canoes, it’s a shame they don’t make them anymore.

[@ianlyons5737]

@@Adventure-Outdoors yeah I read they are seen as very similar, I have a place in Ullswater so looking forward to spending a lot of time on the water here, cheers

[@Macoutdoors361]

Absolutely loved the video, we can’t go out overnight yet but not to long now.

[@Adventure-Outdoors]

Cheers mate, it was good to get out. Aye not much longer to wait north of the border, the 26th is it? I reckon it'll be another busy summer up your way, everyone I know is going to Scotland for their holidays again this year.....me included 😆.

[@Macoutdoors361]

@@Adventure-Outdoors It's going to be a crazy summer!!

[@nellbrown770]

another great trip out there, im up there midd may, first chance ill get and cant wait for it. its been too long

[@Adventure-Outdoors]

Cheers Nell, aye it’s been a long wait.

[@rcote1234]

Very nice!

[@waytogo2791]

"Paddle faster, I hear Banjos" 😉 Beautiful Landscapes, clever Gear, a steaming stew and some exotic brew. I like it! Cheers from switzerland 🍻 WTG PS: Any new plans regarding the hilux?

[@Adventure-Outdoors]

😂 Cheers! No plans for the Hilux unfortunately, looks like it will be another fallow year in terms of overlanding ☹️. All the best mate 👍

[@danielsewell8090]

Brilliant video and stunning location mate 👍

[@Adventure-Outdoors]

Cheers Daniel! 👍

[@Braapncamp]

beautiful views! thought you should get a grayling or a char in that water. 👌

[@Adventure-Outdoors]

I would have been happy with anything mate, I've fished this lake a few times now and caught nothing! ☹️

[@Braapncamp]

@@Adventure-Outdoors maybe a "sour" lake, i was at a lake lately and googled if there could be a good place. Only to learn that sientists had been test fishing there for a century with no luck, it was to sour. Nothing i would have expected in the area.

[@Adventure-Outdoors]

@@Braapncamp That's interesting, I don't think there's anything wrong with this lake though, there's always fishermen on the shore. I reckon I'm not fishing the right areas. Local legend has it that the best bait to use are those jelly Haribo sweets, I've always thought this was a myth, but maybe not! 😂

[@Braapncamp]

@@Adventure-Outdoors haha, you mean jiggs or that candy for real? By the way, Wool is Ull in Swedish.

[@Adventure-Outdoors]

@@Braapncamp Yeah the candy! It wouldn't surprise me if the name of the lake has Viking origins. Some of the lakes in this region end in 'mere' such as Windermere and Thirlmere and the small lakes up in the hills are called 'tarns' - both Old Norse words for bodies of water.

[@whiteeaglewarrior]

Cheers for a great vid and saying whereabouts you go. Many dont. I live not far away but never know whereabouts these spots are. I dont have a canoe tho😁 15kg is impressive

[@Adventure-Outdoors]

Cheers! There's a hiking trail that runs up the eastern shore of the lake, it starts at Patterdale and goes up behind Side Farm campsite. I reckon if you wandered up there late on in the day you'd get Silver Bay to yourself without setting foot on the water 👍🏕.

[@whiteeaglewarrior]

@@Adventure-Outdoors cheers 😊👍

[@colindavis5297]

I enjoyed the video and the beer review

[@Adventure-Outdoors]

Cheers Colin 👍

[@Searchdog1972]

Agree with the Coleman canister, had the same trouble in low (below 10deg c) temps

[@Adventure-Outdoors]

Yeah they're a bit crap, I've got a few of the 'extreme' Coleman canisters and they seem to work better, less butane and more propane in them.

[@royblackburn1163]

@@Adventure-Outdoors they're all pretty much the same, better using meths or petrol in low temps or high altitude.

[@Kraftykizzey]

Loved your wooden? Cup and bowl...can you tell me more about these? Ty

[@Adventure-Outdoors]

Hi, Google kupilka and you will find them! x

[@Kraftykizzey]

Awesome thank you!! We have recently stayed on ulswater and also on st Herbert's island on Derwent water with our kayaks. Deven and Cornwall also!! Love your channel.

[@ilikeitwhenitssunny7067]

Spot on mate

[@WWG1-WGA]

Incredible about the restrictions , who is your government doing that ?

[@paulwildcamper]

I haven't watched yet Ben, but I've already given it a thumbs up 👍🏻😁

[@paulwildcamper]

Right decision 😁Great camp out, and a good choice with that tent 👍🏻Cheers, Paul

[@Adventure-Outdoors]

Cheers Paul, the Banshee is a classic! It's starting to show it's age now though 👍 ATB.

[@r13gbs]

+1 For the Trangia ,,Ive used the 27 for a few years on both bio and gas.

[@Adventure-Outdoors]

Yeah they're great stoves 👍

[@MrBluoct]

Still have the pack 🤔

[@Adventure-Outdoors]

Yeah I still have it. I use it on my local river most of the time 👍

[@jeep12rc]

Beautiful lake , trout in there ?

[@Adventure-Outdoors]

Yeah apparently, mainly trout, perch and pike. There was more chance of me catching a cold than catching a fish though 😂.

[@lanceflanagan]

You don't get any grief wild camping in those parts?

[@Adventure-Outdoors]

Most of the camping is tolerated as long as you camp up high and leave no trace etc. Canoe camping is usually done well away from roads, paths, houses or busy areas so there’s no one around to give you grief. Camping in busy areas near lakes or roads is frowned upon and the National Trust and other landowners are fairly proactive in discouraging that sort of camping as they’ve suffered the usual mess left by lazy/dirty campers 👍

[@grahamgill8834]

What sort of stove were you using?

[@Adventure-Outdoors]

It’s a Trangia unit with the gas adapter 👍.

[@Iron_DD]

I appreciate that you paddled to shore, set your camera up, paddled back out and then back in, just to get the right shot... That's commitment right there! 😂 Another great vid 👌🏻

[@Adventure-Outdoors]

Cheers David! Yeah that type of shot is a right pain in the ass 😂.
