2:40 I prefer some snow over the rain showers especially when it’s been 38 every weekend and rainy. It’s making a little hard to do my adventures so it’s why we been doing it some car camping.

[@lowermichiganadventures]

2:08 it looks like a challenging hike in the snow

[@swedishhobo2995]

Nice to see the two of you out in some real wether mate. Makes adventures so much more enjoyable if you ask me. Hope you you both had a fantastic time 🪓⛺️🔥🇸🇪

[@KandCoutdoors]

We did have a great time, i love hiking and camping in snow, it gives a real sense of adventure, 👍

[@lowermichiganadventures]

3:58 so cute I showed Bella this she’s jealous. She loved her rolling around in the snow.

[@lowermichiganadventures]

6:14 I always dress Bella up with a coat or something like that too when we’re out hiking in the snow, it does help I’ll give you that

[@KandCoutdoors]

It did help the little coat, she has been groomer and had legs and bottom hair cut cut short now

[@lowermichiganadventures]

4:30 looks like you may have some pretty good elevation gain along with the snow that can be a challenging hike for sure

[@reluctantfellrunner]

Great winter adventure. Glad to be back in the car. Best wishes.

[@KandCoutdoors]

Hi mate,hope you are keeping well. Iwas really tired when I made it back to the car and my heart sunk at the thought of digging it out. Was so greatful to the two lads who helped without them pushing it would have been a night in the car. Was a great trip though

[@bobbostock6330]

Now that's what you call a winter camp.well done mate brilliant 👏👏

[@KandCoutdoors]

Thanks Bob, I wasn’t really expecting that much snow though it made for a great adventure, though sat in work today I wished I could have slept in this morning, really appreciate you commenting 👍

[@Peter-gv2gn]

Great stuff, relaxing , I will certainly watch more.

[@KandCoutdoors]

Thank you Peter, I really appreciate that, means a lot 👍

[@mmtpleasant]

The water before the caves!! Beautiful!! Stunning! I'd be exhausted trekking through that much snow.

[@KandCoutdoors]

Hi, thanks for comment, It’s a really beautiful place, it was hard work trekking through the snow but rewarding to,

[@thelittlethingsinlife239]

Great video. I got cold just watching 😊

[@KandCoutdoors]

Thank you, yes it was a bit chilly 🥶 but a real adventure 👍

[@skeovkp48598]

I live in a small village in south lakes and this completely took us by surprise. There was 9 ins snow, the roads round here were all completely blocked, there were branches and trees down all over the place. Then the power went off - for 2 and half days. There was no mobile signal, telephone or internet, so no means of contact anyone. There's no gas anyway so means of getting hot food or drinks, and no way of getting out to stock up on supplies. It was grim!

[@KandCoutdoors]

It was awful, I think what made it even more difficult was the lack of a forecast, I checked both met offices and mountain weather forecast who said light snow showers. I hope things are getting better for you now, 💙

[@lowermichiganadventures]

2:59 looks like a beautiful spot to do some filming. I’m kind of jealous.

[@KandCoutdoors]

Really beautiful place Cumbria

[@jamiebassnett]

Get the same snowball clumping issue with one of our Westies when out in deep snow. It gets that bad he won't move until I break them off so I have to sometimes carry him too. Great video as always. Well done for still staying out and having a great experience. I bet having a tent you are confident with like the Soulo makes a big difference in scenarios like that. 👍

[@KandCoutdoors]

Cora kept getting to a point of the snow balling stopping her walking but as the day went on it got harder to break it off. She would keep stopping and look at me as though she was planning how to get her own back 😂. The soulo is great in bad weather, it gives the feeling of a safe place where you can rest without worry. Bloody expensive but I’m hoping to get many years out of it. Thanks for commenting 🙏

[@carmelodriscoll6155]

Great video, very enjoyable 😊

[@KandCoutdoors]

Thank you so much, I’m really glad you enjoyed watching👍

[@RogerByrne]

My girl Ayla said Cora can come visit us in Germany for a camp 🙌 we camped in a toasty -7 on Sunday

[@KandCoutdoors]

Hi, tell Ayla, Cora says hi 👋-7 🥶 that is a real chilly camp,have a fab Christmas 🎄

[@paulwhitaker2816]

Great vid, well done ,. in a whiteout like that I would imagine its very difficult to keep to a track of your whereabouts and stick to the path . thanks and well done again really enjoyed it ...

[@KandCoutdoors]

Thank you Paul, I’m glad you enjoyed the video, yes it did become a little worrying at times though was a great camp and adventure

[@GAPTEXPLORE]

*_Hello Mr. Cora.... it's been hit by a storm too, a complete test for you sir, maybe because in my country there is no snow so I imagine how cold it would be camping when there's a lot of snow, plus a storm, but Dr. Cora said. Storm Never Last hook in the song... greetings from Indonesia_* 👣⛰🏔🏕💯👌👍

[@KandCoutdoors]

Hi, thank you for commenting, yes it was was very cold, Indonesia is a beautiful place, I hope you enjoyed the video 👍

[@seanstacey3223]

You did well there, good that you abandoned your initial plan but still managed to salvage the trip and have a cracking camp 👍 Cumbria certainly got dumped on by snow, I live just iver the border in Lancashire and we only had a slight flurry. Can't wait to get up into the fells myself with my dog. She hasn't got a good thick coat like yours though being a staffie, got her a fleece, coat and even a dog sleeping bag! 😂 Thanks for the video, looking forward to your next one

[@KandCoutdoors]

Thank you for you kind comment, I suspect had I got to Langdale I would still be there”working from home” 😂 it was still a great adventure though, I wish I had got more camera footage but my go pro was playing up again, Cora will be going groomer be for next camp, those snow balls on her coat caused matting so short hair in future.! Those fleece coats are great, I dread to think. She would have been a dog yeti! Have a great time in the hills with your staff, they are great dogs 👍

[@hif2k1]

The cameraman always survives

[@KandCoutdoors]

😂😂I hope so 👍

[@Royalizzieadventures]

Hike in the snow is one of the best things to do nothing like it :))

[@KandCoutdoors]

Hi, yes it’s brilliant hiking in the snow I absolutely love it, makes it feel like a real adventure 👍

[@Royalizzieadventures]

Snow ❄️ shout out from 🇨🇦 :)

[@KandCoutdoors]

@Royalizzieadventures now that is proper snow ❄️ on

[@SamMcMac]

You make me laugh with the steaks 😂

[@KandCoutdoors]

Gota have a good tea, though I think Cora sometimes enjoys the freeze dried meals as she put her head it’s the pouch and licks every scrap of flavour 🐶

[@LETSTRYTHISOUTDOORS]

Great video! Looked amazing. I felt a bit sorry for Cora and her snowball legs mind but at least she had her onesie on to keep her warm. It look a different world in all that snow and understandable how easy it would be to lose the track. Glad you made it back to your car safely and thos elads sorted you out. Just a quick one mate were you using mini spikes on your boots for this? Thanks for a great upload ATB Ray👍

[@KandCoutdoors]

Hi mate, thanks for comment, yes had mini spikes, which I used on steep sections, also used an ice axe on one descent down a gully as was worried I might slip and need to self arrest and snow baskets on my poles, tbh there was one steep section where I wished I had brought my crampons but on the whole the micro spikes were great. I hadn’t expected close to this amount of snow but was glad I carried the axe and spikes 👍

[@LETSTRYTHISOUTDOORS]

@@KandCoutdoors well I'm glad you're both okay and once again, great video mate. Very enjoyable 👍

[@DemiGod..]

Had a Soulo but now just an Akto. Small one man tents - an acquired taste.

[@KandCoutdoors]

Both good strong tents though, it’s nice feeling that your tent will stand up to the worst weather

[@lowermichiganadventures]

6:44 gave you that look that’s funny same thing Bella does I start talking about her? I swear to God these dogs are more like humans. I always refer Bella as my little girl lol.

[@KandCoutdoors]

😂 they are just little fluffy people, Cora reads and manipulated me so well

[@bernardscott1783]

What bag did you sleep in mate?

[@KandCoutdoors]

Hi Bernard, my bag was an Alp Kit Sky High 900 Long with a Therm-a-rest x-them mat which is a little battered and patched but bloody warm, I used the bag as a quilt, didn’t need to zip it up as was really warm with the snow fall on the tent helping keep warmth in. I did have condensation as the snow was quite high on the fly sheet and very little air flow,

[@bernardscott1783]

@@KandCoutdoors cheers pal as literally just looking today for a good bag for cold camping.👍

[@KandCoutdoors]

@@bernardscott1783 it’s a really good bag has the hydrophobic down which does appear to work well 👍
