[@jossthomas123456]

Thanks very much- it was a really memorable trip👍

[@benvickery]

I’ve been watching some of your old videos and enjoying them a lot. Once lockdown is over, I’m going to go to Snowdonia for my next wild camping trip. I need to plan my route and where I want to camp. I know it’s going to be busy on Snowdon itself so I’m going to stay well away. I’ve camped many times on Dartmoor but never in Snowdonia, I’m looking forward to it. Thanks again

[@jossthomas123456]

Thanks Ben, yes its going to be crazy busy for sure! Atb Joss

[@welshboyoo715]

Awesome again Joss. As ever you filming is, when you take us with you, we get a breath of mountain air, and a chance to touch the sky. We thank you for taking us with you.

Not joking Joss, I think you've just captured the perfect British Isles wild camp. Epic it certainly is brawd.

[@jossthomas123456]

Cotton Bud thank you thats a very kind comment👍 thanks my friend

[@jeffrichardson4808]

Wonderful videos! Watching them in 'lockdown' is a real breath of fresh air - no pun intended! You really capture the atmosphere both of your chosen site and of the walk-in. I'm familiar with this location but your secret is safe with me! Hope to enjoy the real thing this year rather than proxy viewing on the small screen but your videos keep me going!

[@jossthomas123456]

Thanks Jeff, its been a long while since Ive camped myself! Cant wait to get out again. Thanks for watching and commenting.

[@thevalleywalker]

Epic indeed Joss. Cracking conditions to test your scarp. Great filming. The smile on your face tells us how much you enjoyed that overnighter - one that will remain the memory for a long time methinks.

[@jossthomas123456]

Alan Coles youre absolutely right there, it was a great experience, felt blessed to be alive in that moment👍

Thanks thats very kind of you, it was a fantastic place! Atb Joss

[@anthonypayne1]

You’re not wrong there Joss! Epic on everything! The scenery, cloud formations, location and snow! Tent looks the business, totally agree about keeping these places to yourself, people should no better. Big thumbs up from me! 👍👍👍

[@jossthomas123456]

Thanks Anthony Payne that is very much appreciated, its looking like a good start to the season! Atb Joss

[@WyeExplorer]

I would love to live in Snowdonia Joss - at least for a good period of time. You are producing some very enticing adverts for the place. This was indeed another epic. Wow such a sacred place - I don;t blame you for keeping it a secret. I did the same with a spot I love in the Black Mountains. People do upset the balance. A cool set to. Was that a tarp tent? It looked like it. Well, well done. All the best. Mark

[@jossthomas123456]

Wye Explorer Hi Mark- thanks for the lovely comment and sorry for the late reply. I just looked over my channel and found a few comments that I hadn’t received the usual notifications for. Yes the tent is a Tarptent Scarp 1. This was the maiden voyage and I am incredibly pleased with it. Snowdonia is indeed a fantastic place, it lifts my soul everytime I go there! Atb Joss

[@WyeExplorer]

@@jossthomas123456 A pleasure Joss. And know worries about the late reply. I go back over comments in Creator Studio. You never know if you have missed one or a reply. Aaah I've looked at Tarp tent. You'd recommend it then? It looked just right in Snowdonia. Have a great week...

[@jossthomas123456]

Wye Explorer definitely reccomend it, though I was lucky to find one in the UK that was sold as ‘second hand’ but not been used, other than pitched in the garden! Cheers matey, you too.

[@WyeExplorer]

@@jossthomas123456 Good going on the find. It's worth looking around. I am up for a new tent at some point.....I might try it but if I find lighter I'll go for it.

[@FunsizedEarthling]

Some stunning pictures there, Joss! How lovely. 🙌🏼

[@jossthomas123456]

Funsized Earthling thanks Mari- do you take many pictures yourself? You have a good eye for a composition, in your videos.

[@BorderRambler]

Great Trip Joss , and an excellent test for you new shelter . You captured the mood of the mountain perfectly and then to wake up to snow in the morning , brilliant stuff mate . Just a pity a few A holes like to leave there marks !! TFS atb Dave.

[@jossthomas123456]

Thanks Billy. Sadly the knob heads had been there before me... incredible that they would be so stupid really. Cheers for watching pal, much appreciated👍

[@dpax100]

Wow Joss what a morning and such magical change .

[@jossthomas123456]

darrellpax thanks mate it certainly was surreal and magical!

[@underabanner]

Easily one of the best wild camping videos I've ever watched. I stumbled across your channel thanks to Summit Or Nothing and am glad that I did! These vistas and your respect for the environment are what made the experience. I'd dearly love to know exactly where this is as clearly my detective skills aren't up to scratch. ; )

[@jossthomas123456]

Under A Banner thanks for the kind comments! Glad that you enjoyed the video and hope that you may enjoy some of the others. This was certainly a memorable trip of last year. Thanks for watching. If you look on an OS map for a small lakes just North of Crib Goch, you’ll find it. Good luck! Joss

[@underabanner]

@@jossthomas123456 Thank you so much. I shall certainly watch many more videos and pick up my OS map of the area. All the best, Adam : )

Great vid once again. Really like your routes and content

[@jossthomas123456]

Thanks Alison, much appreciated!

[@ivorgriffiths8734]

Thank you.

[@BurtonOutdoors]

You can excuse a lost tent peg, but BBQ on grass is just wrong, like you say plenty of rocks about. Seagulls are vermin, they should be culled really, especially on the coasts and cities. Love that tent, what's the weight? Dinner looked nice, that foldable pot is awesome. That little island wouldn't look out of place in Japan, reminds me of a Japanese garden. Utter quality Joss, what a sight to wake up to. All the quartz you find you should tag and get engraved where you found it... memories. Good job. Lee

[@jossthomas123456]

Burton Outdoors you’re right there, we’ve all lost a peg or two but that Bbq was just idiotic! Yes the island and the tree does look Japanese, like a Bonsai Tree! Thanks for watching and commenting as always👍👍

[@outdoorslifestyle2900]

Brilliant mate stunning area and totally agree on seagulls lol. Love the tent and that stove looked awesome, just checked it out and for the money it looks very good value. Anyways thanks for sharing. Atb Steve

[@jossthomas123456]

Cheers mate, glad you enjoyed it. I can recommend all those bits of kit👍👍 thanks for watching and the continues support👍

[@LordHeath1972]

Snow on the mountains in MAY! Wow. A lovely little spot you have there Joss. I'm thinking of becoming a full-time mountain hermit so I can have these views and experiences every day! Haha. Another great video (yes I have watched all of it now!) and well edited, as usual.

[@jossthomas123456]

PS. that outro song is amazing! Had to look it up on youtube ha!

[@jossthomas123456]

Will Outdoors thanks mate thats much appreciated. Yeah those Seagulls werent the best neighbours 😂 thanks for watching and commenting, its always appreciated👍

[@wildcamping1502]

What a wonderfully peaceful and tranquil Location, apart from the seagulls LOL, the scarp tent looks really good I have seen a few people who use it and as you say it is a 4 season tent and I don't think it will ever let you down going off what others say about it, it is unbelievable that people show such a great lack of respect for the wild with scorch marks on the land and that old Boot 'whats that about' must be quit an Experience to wake up to snow something I haven't Experienced yet, Loved your Comment at the end and wholeHeartedly Agree with you, Loved the Video Joss, Stay Safe, Les.

[@jossthomas123456]

Cheers Les! I did a lit of research before buying the tent and I couldn’t find a bad word against it. Will be ideal for my next winter camps. Strange to find the old boot, it was very old, the sole was nailed on. Thanks for watching, as always its much appreciated, thanks my friend👍

[@wuzart]

Nice one Joss - a cracking virgin outing for your new scarp1. Couldn’t have gone any better if you’d tried! I adore Snowdonia for wildcamping, it’s such a special place. The short drive home to the borderlands is always hard work the next day!

[@jossthomas123456]

You got it spot on there mate, when the mountains are calling, its hard to ignore. Atb Joss

[@BobSmith-614]

Northwales Bushcrafters hi Trev, its 1.5 kg but a fair bit more extra space and an ‘extra season’ of protection. I was lucky to find it ‘nearly new’ in the UK👍

Great video Joss. Could I ask for more detail/links for your kit please?

Mike Faulkner thanks- sure. I sometimes put links to the kit but I forget most of the time! The Tent is a Scarp 1 (made by Tarptent of the USA) the sleeping mat is the excellent ‘Sea To Summit Comfort Plus Insulated’ the pillow is a Sea to Summit Aeros, the kettle is a Sea to Summit X- Kettle which folds down flat and on this trip I used a Robens Caucasus 300 Sleeping Bag with a silk liner.
