This Camping Trip Turned Dangerous - Fast!

This was the worst night of my life and was very dangerous!!!
In this video I teamed up with Ben from ‪@DaleyOutdoors‬ for a camping on Kinder Scout in the Peak District UK.
8 hours of a broken tent flapping in my face while camping on Kinder Scout in the peak district and 50mph winds that didn't let up one bit for the full 8 hours!!!

You should watch Ben's version of this camp also... kzbin.info/www/bejne/m5y2h3-waLqCgbcsi=c24Wv9zWKzTS66TW

[@oldcrackadated]

I will I watch a lot of his stuff

[@GrizzlyGaz]

@@oldcrackadated he's a good egg. Like yourself pal 👍

[@oldcrackadated]

@@GrizzlyGaz thank you Gaz

[@GrizzlyGaz]

@@oldcrackadated my pleasure

[@liarliar7491]

I'm sorry but I havent laughed so loudly for so long in ages.. you poor buggers. Whelp what an adventure. 🥰😁🤘💯

[@LMay64]

Those conditions were no joke. I just watched Simon, a bloke in the woods and East Anglian Bushcraft post a video from up on Kinder Scout with similarly nasty and rainy conditions. Their tents didn't fail, but I believe the winds on the both of you were worse. You made the right call. Once the shelter goes, you need to get down safely. Both of your tents were just not quite hardy enough for those winds up there, especially when the ground won't hold the stakes and there are no rocks to help secure it. Additional guylines at an angle might have added strength, but who knows. Thanks for the video!

[@GrizzlyGaz]

Yeah poles ended up all bent on both our tents and mine wanted to take off!!!

[@DemiGod..]

You don't need to get down, which is dangerous; you can stay with the tent which becomes a bivy sack.

[@DemiGod..]

@@GrizzlyGaz You don't need to get down, which is dangerous; you can stay with the tent which becomes a bivy sack aslong as the groundsheet is anchored. If your tent wants to takeoff, just remove the poles.

[@littlecookiedog]

Had to have a cackle at this, must admit if it were me in that situation I'd be flapping worse than the tent 😂

[@GrizzlyGaz]

🤣🤣🤣

[@OnlyUpNorth]

Sorry your camp out didn’t go as planned but for your viewers it was still entertaining. Thank you for all you and Fendy do!

[@CheapDrumsGuy]

Although the UK seems devoid of much of the trees the US has an abundance of, I'm still taken aback by just how beautiful the countryside is. Absolutely amazing. Of course, thank you to Fendi for taking us on the yomp / tab.

[@lindsayclark6453]

Yes, the north of England has lots of beautiful places to visit, but Scotland, where I’m from, has some of the most beautiful scenery you will ever see…just remember your waterproofs! Xxx

[@leesaunders1930]

@@lindsayclark6453 I've got to agree with you there. I'm from the north of England (Yorkshire) and like you said it has some beautiful scenic countryside but yes Scotland is the best for me too. Me and some of my family would spend Christmas up there at Fort William just below Ben Nevis and it was just gorgeous and we visited a few Lochs around the surrounding area too and the commando memorial. I still go up to Scotland but just for work really and unfortunately it's not often it's in the countryside either or the Highlands, actually I'm in Scotland in November for about 4 weeks or so. Great place and never had a bad experience. All the best 👍 from Yorkshire.

[@marmaladeemma1080]

Wales is stunning also

[@marmaladeemma1080]

Quality over quantity 😂....im only joking ❤

[@lena-Ramone]

😂😂 the uk has tonnes of trees 😂 what an unusual comment. He doesnt show you guys absolutely everywhere. 😂 One love ✌️

[@DCL26]

Little Fendy was really worried on top of that dreadfully windy mountain too. 😮 Glad you all decided to hike back to the car. Till next time. 😂

[@ksgonewild]

Blimey that was some wind! I must say I’m not a fan of tunnel tents after seeing them bend in half during a storm on a camp years ago… give me a dime or teepee style anyway lol! Great vid!!

[@GrizzlyGaz]

Thanks Karen!

[@mynx369]

We saw some really great views but I'm sorry that your trip didn't turn out as you'd hoped that it would. I'm glad that you made it back down safely in the dark. Looking forward to your next adventure. Stay safe Gaz.🥰💖💖

[@paulhowlett4507]

That was proper mental, Gaz. Glad you all got out okay. Mind how you go.

[@cathharder157]

That was a tough walk Gaz. Loved the video. Fendy was on form today.... Into everything and a little cuddle monster.😀

[@TheRealSteveEllis]

Those are the conditions I go out for mate, each to their own

[@Iamaguienapig]

I love how fendy takes it all so chill.. 😂😂

[@chrismoore600]

Like I told Ben that sucks but the worst trips are the ones I remember the most. Outstanding adventure love it when you to camp together. Always a good show.

[@GrizzlyGaz]

Agreed

[@KA-dm8dr]

Gaz! Your face says it all! That was truly 'wild' camping. Geez! Stay safe! I love your videos mate.

[@cindymoores9861]

Omg!! Lmao my cat kept looking at the window thinking the wind was here😂😂😅 Poor Dan and Fendy😅

[@RIHANNON66POE]

I couldn't do it , I would have to pack up like you, I think I'd rather just use the tent as a duvet. Poor little Fendy , she looked realy puzzled bless her, I'm glad you all made down safe better luck next time.

[@WildBikeCamper]

I'm loving all your little animated effects, maps, arrows and suchlike. I'm much more of a low level camper - less wind!!

[@mrjackolanterns]

Man, what a nightmare. Fendy was like "effing serious, Gaz?" Lol.

[@whisper1017]

Glad you guys made it back safely! Love to watch your videos, as you post the good times and the bad. Love to watch Fendy as well. She is the best pup and such a trooper!

[@GrizzlyGaz]

Our pleasure!

[@kristian.karlsen]

This is not the first time I have seen you struggle with your tent and wind. I would say that for your own safety and comfort you might want to get a proper tent for such conditions. When that is said, there is no shame in turning around, even at night. Stay safe.

[@tigerlillybell75]

That "hill" looks smaller than it really is because it is bare of trees, which are good to judge heights and massiveness by. Great show, guys. Hi, Fendyl!

[@judiannegoodrich4562]

You poor man....the wind is beating you up !!! I love your videos. I love seeing the countryside. You are interesting to listen to and you have common sense, which a lot of people lack these days. Please keep doing what you do. Be safe.

[@GrizzlyGaz]

Thanks 👍

[@LanaLaughsRealLoud]

ThankQ for taking us along with you as you and your French Bulldog, Fendy, explore the countryside of Yorkshire and beyond. 😊❤👏🏻

[@sharoncrowe-snooshomestead3536]

Wow that wind was brutal. I use to be the cub scout leader. We would take them camping. But on one camping trip my pegs went missing. I found a hard wood branch and made my pegs. They were about 12" long. That night the wind got so bad 2 of the boys tent came down. My tent is big just in case someone gets scared. It was me my son and the 2 boys . My teat fared good. The wood pegs held my teat up. So I just use them from then on. Tent is gone, but I still have the pegs. 1. egg 1:23 .... 2. egg 10:49.... 3. egg lol You had it... Don't give up love your videos and your little companion.👍👍🐶🐕‍🦺

[@radishgirrrl]

So glad you two got off that, uh, elevated landform safely. You've had quite some adventures these last few videos. Here's hoping for perfect weather on your next camp. Headed over to Ben's channel after this. I'm watching on two devices, looking for your easter eggs. I suck at things like this, but you inspired me. First ones at 1:24, second at 10:50 and the last at the end when you're headed home (I hope!).

[@GrizzlyGaz]

🥚🥚🥚😎

[@lisajames3359]

Brilliant video… I was surprised that Fendy wasn’t more freaked out with the weather. I love your videos and Fendy please keep them coming.

[@GrizzlyGaz]

She's not bothered by anything!

[@debbielf58]

I loved this episode. The views are unbelievably beautiful. Thanks for sharing

[@GrizzlyGaz]

Our pleasure!

[@jenstone9308]

Omg Gaz, that looked horrendous! 😱 You did a great job capturing the drama of it all though, I felt so tense watching your tent getting battered and little Fendy looking so worried. Glad you got down safely. It was great to see you and Ben on a camp again, even if not the best conditions...it's all an adventure right? 😂

[@dobbiessock1050]

Wee Fendy was very scared . I'm glad you all got down safely. Perhaps stronger tents for hie like that might help .

[@crazygranny2609]

OMG! this is one of the windiest camps you have been in . Thanks for sharing .

[@GrizzlyGaz]

It sure is!

[@tracymw]

That looked like such a long hike up that mountain. I'm sure you were exhausted before even having to have to pack up and hike back down. You did the best thing though, since the weather was so nasty. I've spent a soggy weekend in a tent that had the guylines coming loose, so I know that had to be miserable.

[@Glamoroustrauma]

Loving your videos, I’m hooked. 😂 my new binge but wow with the large rocks and what a view!!!

[@GrizzlyGaz]

Glad you like them!

[@samanthah712]

I've been camping in Peak District a few times. It often seems to be windy & rainy. My son & me went a few years ago in Sept. We weren't anywhere like you, but our campsite was on a hill & we spent a night in 60mph winds & torrential rain with our terrified dog, Max. I was awake all night checking the weather & wondering if the tent would blow away. Luckily we had a Vango tent & it was fantastic. While other people's tents were distroyed, ours only ended up with one broken tent pole! Fantastic tent.

[@Sadie2.1]

You're such a devil, Gaz. I slow mowed twice. I got the first egg at 1:22, and of course the last one 19:21...but you got me on the second one. I even went back after seeing someone say it was in Ben's tent. I didn't recognize anything. Great video as always, thanks a ton. Be safe, and give Fendy a rub on the head.

[@GrizzlyGaz]

It's defo in Ben's tent 😉

[@staticlip1]

10:48 maybe?

[@skeovkp48598]

10.52 I think

[@glendamears3618]

Glad your all safe😊❤❤❤

[@sallya.2412]

Wow! That were some strong winds there. Sorry the tents did not hold up to those winds. Glad you both made it down safely.

[@junegdominguez2735]

So, was it fun? 😂 You’re surely braver than me in that terror wind! I prefer watching stormy weather from inside a building! 🎉 great video!

[@AlexisBowen-ny3tz]

I'm glad you guys are ok . Those winds came be rough. Good move leave and live to camp again. Love from Detroit Michigan USA.

[@johngoodin3445]

One key way of getting your tent pegs to stay in the ground under conditions like that is to put something heavy directly on top of them such as a heavy stone. The only other way is to have a emergency set of really long tent pegs to use as a backup (something 18 inches or better). One alternative to regular tent pegs that can really stick in the ground? Those metal spirals that screw into the ground to hold onto really big dogs. If you screw a couple of them into the ground really really tight and deep they should hold on tight to just about anything. I can see someone using six or more of them on each corner of the tent and down the sides, and in the back and front. The better ones were designed for holding 90+ pound big boy dogs. A regular metal tent peg is only about six to eight inches long. To short in a windstorm and you’ll be getting up several times a night hammering them back down.

[@Andyb2379]

You do it so we don’t have to! Cheers Gaz another crazy night up in the hills.

[@Badmoose64]

That was some wind Gaz, your head must be ringing with all that flapping going on! To be honest surprised that your poles didn't snap under that pressure. As hard as it was, you made the right choice, that wind with the forth coming rain, would of definitely been a nightmare of megalith proportions, have a feeling your tent would of collapsed for sure. Your Fenzl is a proper trooper and is a top notch companion in my books. She does you proud 😁. Glad you're both safe and looking forward to you and Fenzls next adventure. Cheers my friend.

[@marcgervais4696]

I experienced this kid of storm many time with my family including a night at Camp Desrosiers in the Gaspe region in Eastern Canada. Our tent wast hitting us all night and I had to go out and solidify the pegss many; times, but the tent held in the high winds. The next day I was kayaking with colony of grey seals. It was incredible.

[@run4078]

Wow. Well done for everything there mate. I will now definitely b checking the wind b4 I go camping again! ❤x

[@sanmassara2541]

Wow, all the stepping stones is amazing! Beautiful place.

[@GrizzlyGaz]

It really is!

[@cleophusA]

Wow! It looked like you were at the last camp before the summit at Everest! That little valley must be like a natural chimney. Great video!

[@GrizzlyGaz]

You are right!

[@woodslisa4529]

that was frightening just to watch! I'm glad no one was hurt

[@michellecampbell2722]

Such is life. You have such amazing country for viewing . Camp site was spectacular. I appreciate you. You capture the perfect order of life! Livin' it and enjoying it. Thank you.

[@GrizzlyGaz]

Thanks

[@valrackley4568]

Hi Gaz good video I see eggs at 1.23 second at 10.45 and the last one at 19.19 I cannot believe that wind was that strong well done for sticking it out.

[@GrizzlyGaz]

🥚🥚🥚😎

[@user-wy1yh9mf8k]

Great vid Gaz glad you all got down safely 👍

[@Olan...]

Great vid as always ..Dont let that put you off Kinder Gaz because there is so much more to explore and when you get to know it you will find lots of places where you can escape the worst of the wind and plan accordingly. Grindslow Knoll is very exposed and gets hammered by vertex and vortex winds and the route you took up to it is 3 times longer than the direct route from Edale where you started from. I always take a minimum of 4 MSR Cyclone pegs or the knock off version on kinder which work really well in soft ground and in winter time i take 4 sand/snow pegs. You would have had a better time camping over at the woolpacks which s the boulder field that you passed and it would have been easy to find shelter if you needed to bail. ATB

[@GrizzlyGaz]

Blame Ben. He plotted the route 🤣

[@Olan...]

@@GrizzlyGaz Feed him to The Fenzil :)

[@eleanorcurrie5969]

That was so scary Gaz! So happy you and the pupper are safe.

[@kathyperez9695]

Wow! That was scary glad you and fendy are ok the countryside is beautiful!❤

[@Sammy-he8cv]

That was rough going For the 3 of you ! A camp to remember 👍🏻❤️

[@paulstewart4077]

Man....I could feel the dread through my phone in my dry non-windy house.

[@Connollyoutdoors]

Wow that was some crazy wind! Glad you and Mr Fenzal got out safely!!

[@superscaffer]

Bloody hell Gaz that made me chuckle! Don't know who looked more worried you or fendy 😂😂

[@ronnieisaacs6960]

Hey Grizz, good to see you and Fendy! Got wind? 😁 At my age any hill is a mountain 🤣 In North Carolina we have Mt. Mitchell, you're already high up, but from the base to the peak it's a rise in elevation of 3,600 feet (1,097.28 meters) in 5 1/2 miles. Once at the top your total elevation is 6,684 feet (2,037.3 meters) I wouldn't attempt it now but back in the day it was Glorious! Appreciate you and Fendy 👍👣🐾

[@GrizzlyGaz]

Sounds great!

[@dezd1000]

I've been in some Thunderstorms while camping and it can get intense, but also very memorable 🤣🤣🤣. Not something you want to do to get a good nights rest. Great video. Loved it. Thanks for posting.

[@AdyWalter]

Believe it or not, exactly the same happened to me in Norfolk of all places in early Sept. Ended up sleeping in the car which I had to park on the tent to stop it blowing away. The flooded campsite didn't help as the pegs kept coming out. Gives me anxiety watching this, brings back memories, not good ones either!

[@GrizzlyGaz]

Sorry

[@Alexzanderbean]

Remember when was homeless in a tent and storm come in like that wind for hours man listening to tent flapping about dose your head in lol the calm and quiet after the storm man the relief peace and quiteness.

It was really neat seeing an old style phone booth. We used to have those here in America too, but they were not as amazing as that one you showed us, even though the phone was ripped off.

Aww mate, that wind was really bad up there. I know what it’s like, I was up in Scotland high up by Ben Lawers mountain at the loch in the roof tent and it was bad, it was ripping my flysheet off by unzipping it and felt like it was going to take off.

At least you pair got a good story out of it. You'll be telling this one round a campfire with a few tinnies and everyone will be enjoying the tale. Probably worth it just for that
