Do NOT Camp In THESE Woods - VERY Dangerous!!!

Do not camp in these dangerous woods!
These hidden Beaches of West Yorkshire are at Withens Clough Reservoir near Hebden Bridge.
The woodland I was in was full of dangerous dead trees and widow makers making it very dangerous to camp in. I would not recommend camping in these woods.
Gaddings dam (the highest beach in England) is not far from this location too!
Wild camping in the Vango Starav 200 plus I get some awesome drone footage of Withens Clough Reservoir in Hebden Bridge which surprisingly has a few hidden beaches!
Vango are a company based in Scotland that make outdoor camping gear and tents.
In this video I'm testing out the Starav 200 tent.

Fascinating.The founder of Vango,Guy McRopes was driving his van along the A9 and ran out of petrol.A passing motorist stopped and offered Guy his emergency fuel can and said " There you go pal,this'll make ya van go just now ". Initially he called the company Vangojustnow but it was a bit long winded so he shortened it to Vango.A company was born with good intent. Condensation is a tricky one but what i do is wear a snorkel which i connect to a flexible hose which allows moisture from respiration to harmlessly discharge to atmosphere ( outside the tent ).It needs a one way valve to prevent frogs and other unwanted critters from entering - they're very curious - and potentially blocking off your ventilation duct.I have developed a travel adapter for foreign climes to prevent the ingress of lizards and geckos etc but i don't think they're an issue in Hebden Bridge ? If you would like one i'll throw in the travel adapter for good measure. Next time you're in the locale ( by the reervoir ) you could treat yourself to watching Reservoir Dogs - the screenplay is by Quentin Tarantino and you'd both love it but apologies are in order as i couldn't find out who the make up artist was ?

[@GrizzlyGaz]

The snorkel sounds like a fantastic idea and I'll definitely have one of those off you! Love Reservoir dogs but prefer True Romance from that era

Here in the USA we have Mountain Lions (aka - cougars) and where I live we have 1 family of cat per 2 mile radius. Bit of a over population problem right now actually. But I bring it up because a cougar has incredible vocal chords and can make/vocalize over 114 different sounds, often mocking various prey to draw in a male or smaller creature. The foxes making all their noises reminded me of that.

The Bigfoot had its back to her and it had bent a branch down & was looking at the leaves. The woman said it might not have known she was there, had she not screamed. It started to slowly turn its head, but she said she didn't see its face, because both her and the dog ran away as fast as they could. If I can find the links, I'll stick them on here.

The hills are exposed and when a storm blows through the winds will be 100mph steady with sudden gusts taking it up to 160 or more, tornados as well, the green new wood, thinner trees are bendy, the older ones less so so they snap when bent enough, thicker trees will blow right over with a big root ball

Really? I also hammock camped in there a few years ago while I was scouting out places to camp along the Calderdale Way as the path runs right next to it.

[@allieandmaria]

@@GrizzlyGaz Yup, I prefer Sunderland Pasture just to the NE though. It's easier to get away from everyone and everything as it's a bit thick in there! 😄 There is this little clearing that................. 🔇

[@GrizzlyGaz]

@@allieandmaria Is that the bigger plantation up by stoodley pike? I walked through there but it was ankle breaking stuff!

[@allieandmaria]

@@GrizzlyGaz Haha! Yeah, that's the one. It's one of the reasons nobody will come by as you need real dedication to get deep in there! Expect to empty your pockets (and any other exposed orifice!) of twigs when you eventually find a suitable spot! 😁

[@GrizzlyGaz]

Haha I didn't fancy it much after milling about in it for a bit when I was last up there. Didn't seem like I'd find a suitable spot even though it's a huge area!?!

[@GrizzlyGaz]

Thank you!!

[@yellowbelly5982]

Walked over to stoodly pike a few months back with a friend and stopped in the woods north east of stoodly pike. Stumbled across a previous camp area that someone had created. A pine mix plantation with lots os dead stands nr too us but had a gud recce of the immediate area and had a gud nights camp up with tarp and bivvy bags 😎 Thank you for sharing your adventure 👍

[@GrizzlyGaz]

That would most likely be Sunderland Pasture which is to the east of the monument. I've walked through there but I've not had a good scout about in it yet. Where abouts did you camp in there?

[@yellowbelly5982]

@@GrizzlyGaz as you walk the clearing in the middle section you come to what looks like a t junction and tak e the right towards the small pond and then 20m towards the pond on your right 😎. I think someone may have been living in there for awhile. Was a handy little place to get head down for the night 😎

Subbed you a happy funny person love it not enough people like us nowadays 😊

[@robking2145]

Do you ever get good phone signal as in 4g at the more scary locations?? My reason to ask is weather you would set up a live feed for evening obviously you would have to load up with battery charging packs, or invest in a couple of trail cameras?, Anyway I’m a new subscriber and really love the content Gaz and you have a lovely little dog fella 👍

[@oldharley7560]

Hi Grizzly Gaz, yes I would like you to to a vid for the foil meal packs. Thanks in advance from New Brunswick Canada..cheers

[@GrizzlyGaz]

Already done pal. Have a look on the channel

[@HikingCampingandPhotography]

Looks like a lovely place to camp I’ll have to give this one a go. Not good with the condensation in the tent, last few times I’ve camped out I’ve used the Forceatt Camping Tent 2 Person, 2 Doors. It’s been great. Camped up Helvellyn a while back, rained most of the evening, tent stayed dry inside

[@GrizzlyGaz]

It really is

Grizzly I love the way y'all talk. IDK how us cousins across the pond got so away from the Queens English.🤣

I've lived in Calderdale for 20 years now, but I don't know some of these places that you visit, I probably need to get out more and explore. I'm originally from near Haworth and one place where I used to go wild camping in the summer is a spot called Alcomden Stones, up above Top Withens. It's pretty remote but it's a beautiful spot and I reckon you'd like it. It's probably about 5/6 miles from Haworth, there's footpaths until you reach Top Withens, then it's through the heather off-road to get to the stones. Stanbury is closer and knocks a good 2 miles off the walk in. but I reckon you'd be better off leaving your car in Haworth (public car park behind the church is a safe bet). Lots of tourists have their cars broken into when they leave them at remote spots in Stanbury whilst they're walking on the moors, so thought I'd better warn you first if you do fancy it. You could always leave your car in a safe spot in Haworth and get a bus to Stanbury.

[@GrizzlyGaz]

I was up that way last week with the kids exploring. I'll check it out, thanks 👍

[@grizcuz]

@@GrizzlyGaz I'd just be a bit careful around mid August if you're planning a trip. There's grouse shooting up there and other folk have told me that the gamekeepers can be arseholes. But I've been up there dozens of times when I was younger and never had any issues. I used to bivvy on the top of the flat stones. If you go nearly as far as the Top Withens derelict house and take a right off the footpath and up the hill, when you get to the top you can see the stones. You can also plan a route up through Ponden Kirk, which is really picturesque and reach the stones that way. You miss Brontë waterfall, (used to be a waterfall when I was a kid, not so much now even in winter) and the Withens if you go the Ponden route. Probably make a better video going the Ponden route though, more to see.

i know this is an old video (only just found your channel, love your vids and Fendy) was just wondering if you ever did a video on how you make those pouches? i'd be interested

[@GrizzlyGaz]

I did. Look in the playlist 'camping hacks' 👍

Awesome buddy, I would love to take my bully on a camp but he's not well behaved and would stink the tent out. I'm always toying with the idea of a wild swim after a wild camp but never seem to do it. Stay safe buddy snd keep the vids coming

[@GrizzlyGaz]

Yeah your dog needs to be behaved in the countryside otherwise it just becomes a hassle

[@batjimadventures2201]

Your dog is so cute and so well-behaved

[@GrizzlyGaz]

She's the best! 🥰
