Cloudy & windy CAMPING in the Lake District

[@adge_ventures4915]

Congratulations on the "retirement" Paul. Hope it works out for you as it's obvious you've inspired a whole host of people to get out and enjoy the great outdoors ☺️

[@Gethsemanes]

Congrats paul

[@richardthomas3382]

try setting the trekking poles lower on the up hills, makes it much easier.... long downhill, short uphill great vid as always cheers

[@ntr10me]

Interesting. Can i ask why?

[@richardthomas3382]

@@ntr10me for me the ideal length of the poles when standing up straight keeps the arms bent 90deg, if too long when going up hill they can become a little clumsy and also more effort lifting the arms higher each step then necessary. works for me..... cheers

[@TravelswithRosie]

@@richardthomas3382 Yep. Aim for 90deg cant agree more

[@Rambling_Bob]

@@thomasjeffersonlane9902 yep, I do likewise. On flat ground my pole tips rarely come in front of my heels (Nordic Walking style). On the uphill I choke up on the handle and on steep downhills I hold the top of each pole to reach down and maximise stability for my knackered old knees. (Happily this length works well as poles for my tent.) 👍

[@daviskites]

There is something different about you in this one Paul. You look like a whole weight has been lifted from your shoulders! So pleased to see you going full time. Best wishes.

[@bennnnnification]

The best camping weather. Love feeling the force of nature. Makes it feel truly wild.

[@0836whimper]

Steaks for eating, pegs for anchoring the tent (in the UK)

[@gezzly72]

You’ve become my favourite channel on KZbin Paul. Love your videos 👍👍

[@traceytree4631]

I don’t know you Paul but I’m so proud of you for following your dreams. Life’s too short for what if’s etc so hats off to you for choosing to something you love full time . You are an inspiration 👏🏼👏🏼 good luck in all your travels. Look forward to seeing the videos 🙂

[@DayTripperAdventures]

I was in Lakes that following morning Wednesday and hiked up Helvellyn in thick fog. The wind picked up and at summit was so strong it blew my glasses off and broke them but I survived to tell the tale thankfully 👍😄

[@Thomas-cp6qe]

Can't manage the great outdoors so it's nice to have it brought into my living room for me. Thanks Andy, I really enjoy seeing your efforts. And thanks for the vids, I look forward to them.

[@hemmingsadventures]

Well done Paul! First time I've commented but have watched videos for the last 18 months and you've been an inspiration.

[@DrKerr..]

Paul u look so chilled out now. I also love camping. Take care and enjoy life.

[@jessicabird1175]

The last time I went to the Peak District was 2019 for my Silver Duke of Edinburgh's Award, with my group of Explorer Scouts when I was 15, I am now nearly 18 and just finished my Gold DofE in Dartmoor in August. watching this video made me miss the Peaks so much.

[@Dave64track]

Great video with some fantastic views over the Lake District just brilliant.

[@christinejones2205]

Stunning sunset

[@AndyWardle]

Yep looked canny. Nice area that. Rugged. (Like me) not easy hiking off piste either. I’ve done a few of those lately. Tires you out like. Tent looked solid The soulo would definitely benefit from the tags on the bigger panels. We were discussing that last camp. The staika has them. Makes a difference like. Anyway. Steak 🥩 looked nice. I want one now. Good to see you out with Andy. Hopefully see ya soon 👍

[@Ron_C]

Oh yeah, not having hang a bear bag, or cook and eat away from your tent is a pretty nice luxury! Holy hell that wind was bad! Even with the clouds, the wind and the rain....beautiful spot to spend time!

[@richardtams564]

Some excellent views/photographs there Paul, despite the weather. Thanks

[@MattDoesMountains]

Flying the videos out now mate, good stuff and glad to see your out doing what you love more 👌👏

[@e.n.oosterbosch5281]

great video,real man with that wind,thanks for scharing

[@EliasLabordus]

When I go camping with my mates, we always pack food and cook for everyone at the same time. For four people we usually need a campfire and one stove (any kind). Or two stoves if we can't build a fire. Is there a reason you bring you own food and eat separately? It seems to me you can pack more efficiently when you can share the gear and food, and less lonely :) Thanks for the vid!

[@squirrelcovers6340]

So nice to see you getting to enjoy much more of what makes you happy.😆

[@peterb1783]

Seeing the steaks was different. Could you a video on different meals outside of the usual packet foods please?

[@Kathy_Is_Blessed]

A beautiful, blustery morning. Perfect for a mug of coffee!☕️. Loved the video!

[@MontyOutdoors]

Brilliant, Paul. Loving that you are now full time and constantly delivering world class content. The Lionel Messi of the camping world!

[@Thebluedocful]

And you’re the Mbappe mate! Makes me the Titus Bramble 😂

[@MontyOutdoors]

@@Thebluedocful Hahaha, I'll take that, Titus!

[@naturlivinorr]

Another great video 👍

[@BjornAndreasBull-Hansen]

Thanks for another video. Beautiful scenery!

[@stevekitt52]

Good to see you here, Bjorn. 👍

[@brucewaren472]

Congrats on your going full time. Good luck to you, Paul.

[@AndrewBeavers]

bang on that mate nice to see a different perspective of the same camp..i'll try get us on a decent path next time 😉😂 see thi on next un.tfs.

[@kerny2091]

Great video mate and cracking sunset shots 👍

[@chrishomer]

Blessed weather. 😍

[@noxater]

that's an awesome photo!

[@saeedalamri1975]

Love your videos .. I spent 6 lovely years in Plymouth during my study in the nineties and have been regular visitor ever since. cheers from Riyadh xxx

[@ysonline]

My favourite 4 Hiking/camping vloggers are Paul, Summit, Haze and TA. I had this cool idea about a Hiking Camping TV show kinda presented like Top Gear. These 4 would make great hosts, and cover different styles. Sadly there isn't any shows about this on TV that I know of. Seems liked a missed opportunity. Thank KZbin for filling that void.

[@markmangan845]

Very enjoyable 😊👍

[@mboutdoors_uk]

Ohhhhh that sun through the clouds was a bit special 👌🏼

[@dazshawsoutdoors2620]

great Vid Paul, you have really gone and done it, and it shows, you seem so much more relaxed, I loved this one as it shows the rough with the smooth as regards wild camping, very inspiring, glad to see you enjoying yourself, long may it continue, all the best Daz

[@James-gf9jl]

Spectacular.

[@tonywallace8358]

Class video Paul! Glad I found your channel 👍

[@rooster7779]

Was just finishing Andy’s vid then the notification came up for this one. Nice one 🙂

[@EireFirst2024]

We might not have the bears paul, BUT if I was down wind, you'd be sharing your steak with me. Brilliant maaaaaaan. Thanks ❤️✌️

[@jocksterDJ]

Thanks for your videos Paul. Been a subscriber for a while now and Ive finally taken the plunge and start my wild camping journey NYE...just me and my dog!

[@lastone8896]

It takes brass berries to camp on top of a wet mountain, takes big ones to hang wet equipment in the house ✌

[@milcotto4153]

That was on the edge!

[@DJVOutdoors]

Great camp, like the tent!

[@TrevsOutdoorsandWellbeing]

Look like your well into your new job now Paul all the best mate look forward to your many adventures nice to see you smiling 😊

[@theheightoflife]

Fantastic videonas always Paul! Love that location and great to see you out with Andy Beavers 👍🏻 Ive actually had the 'path' not being there in 3 or 4 places ive recently been too in the Lakes. But, WOW what amazing views you had at your pitch 😍😍 Ive just got that Sea to Summit Ether Light XT Extreme pad from your recommendation, so cant wait to test it in the coming months. Love the time-lapse love the food looks like you both had a superb camp and the Terra Nova looked like it can hold its own for sure. Thanks for sharing with us!! ATB buddy.... I wish you a great weekend ahead. Chris ✌🏼

[@lisacopley4198]

Great that Paul Good luck with you’re new venture …..bit jealous mate 😂 Barnsley lads like hills 👍 All the best mate …. Tony

[@prismatica2389]

One of the best videos yet. Love to see you do a Lochside camp in Galloway Forest NP

[@hikingwiththeshackletons]

Love the ‘American werewolf in London’ reference! 😂😂

[@joules531]

Thank you so much for all your vids. I really enjoy them.

[@antoniol1776]

Hello Paul here in America if it's a one day hike like what you're doing an overnight. Will take Meat like what you've got there & Cook it up. Bear Country or not. If your hiking in Bears country. You got to carry a Bear Proof Canister plus Bear Spray. You can be used it on Mountain Lions too. If it's a three-day hike and nights. Amazon sells Dehydrated Meat Potatoes and Vegetables. They pack up nice and light, all you have to do is hydrates, with water and add them to your soup.

[@andycomley]

Beautiful Paul. Great to see you living your dream. What was your tent?

[@DanielMsanii]

I wanted to ask this question as well. Thanks for asking.

[@garym2595]

Nice Video Paul, proper British weather, nice to see someone actually take a tent down in wind and show how its done with out losing your tent or bags or other stuff like I would😥 , I'm not that brave and tend to go out when its summer mostly but I might be tempted. Keep up the good work Paul and keep the vids coming, they cheer me up after getting home from work.

[@Harry-Giles]

Loved this one Paul. Keep them coming sir.

[@thedaftestnameicouldthinko8233]

Some great shots. Very atmospheric.

[@craoutdoors6827]

Nice video paul glad you ll be getting out there more and making more videos😀

[@CalvertE98]

From the shenendoah valley here in the US. Love where I am but I do absolutely need to camp in the UK

[@1954shadow]

Wow, what a view!

[@tonyfrancis3219]

Good man Paul love the videos! Keep them coming buddy

[@andrewc1236]

Howdy from Australia. Great Vid! Always amazed at how much comfy grass you guys have to camp on ... granted Australia doesn't have that much rain and cold.

[@arranbailey4818]

Thanks Paul. Really enjoyed that one.

[@DennisNowland]

I think your videos are great. Awhile ago I wrote that through watching your videos although I enjoyed them I decided that camping perhaps was not for me. Well I've changed my mind. Maybe not in bad weather but I definitely will be going camping sometime. Thanks a lot for the inspiration.

[@lancedaniels]

View of Roman Fort ruins @ 1:57 very cool!

[@jonathaniwachiw-toothill29]

Awesome video got me buzzed about my next week up there in January

[@JBC_cat]

You know its windy when your coffee jumps outta the cup and says "To heck with this, you guys are on your own!"

[@donaldmichaellumsden2714]

I think You must be Loven it being able to make a video when You want to , instead of being hampered. by having. to have the boss decide when You can go on an adventure . Being Your own boss means You have to work , which means You need to work ALL the time , no days off . When You are not filming , You are editing . You got some exellent shots of the horizon Paul . DML

[@TheSoloSummiteer]

Good to see you back in the Lakes Paul 👍😎

[@PaulMessner]

How’s the damage on the MLD mate. The dcf one on my wish list

[@TheSoloSummiteer]

@@PaulMessner hi Paul. Was repaired in a few days by Lucy at QuintCraft. Fantastic service and good as new 😎👍

[@tiemenremmers7797]

Nice exercise Paul! Keep on going when it's tough.... Greetings from Holland

[@ipaales7552]

Brilliant Paul, love the tent , a little thing like the door clips onto the pole makes a big difference, thanks for the video always appreciated stay safe marra 🏕 👍

I love it.

[@Jones-xx2gc]

Great video as ever.

[@garrycollins3415]

Nice video. The Lake District was on my list to visit when I lived in England. Never made it there. My loss.

[@HoratioNelson78]

Loved this Paul...thanks

Another great watch paul 👍 look forward to the next one mate 👍

[@Lestat1795]

Mesmerizing scenery. Lord of the rings feeling.

[@joelee2650]

Another great video Paul. What tent is it that you are using on this trip and does it come in "Budget Price" :) Lol

[@rayingram6012]

Enjoyed that Paul...you always seem to be prepared...(except the fork lol)...do you do a list before setting off..gonna check your other vids to see...got me itching for a camp out now!

[@thismonolife]

Great video. If you do end up going that area again you can park further up Hardknott saving your legs. I'm heading to the Langdales hopefully on Saturday night and possibly try my first proper vlog.

[@leemackay7433]

Congratulations on quitting your job and doing what you love. Just discovered the Chanel and absolutely love it

[@JazzyJeffers]

Looking forward to this one 😁

Great place, amazing trip!

[@joshuaoconnor2471]

Great vid

[@Black73Cat]

I can totally sympathise with you, on those steep sections! I keep getting told that "it makes you feel alive!". All I can think is that I'm struggling to stay alive! 🤣 Great video again, mate...one thing that I've noticed is that you're always slipping in little hints and tips. Really handy stuff for folks to know but without doing a specific "tutorial" it's really engaging and naturally helpful. Looking forward to the next one...take care. 👍

[@lechprotean]

smashing these videos every few hours, it seems, now that you've gone full time on it!!!

[@TheCoopsvids]

That was a great tea mate ..what were those noodles pls Paul
