I remember one camping trip with my dad in the 70s when I was 10. He pitched on a cliff top in glorious weather in Devon on the way down to Cornwall. We had one of the larger family frame tents . The weather changed in the night and I woke up to a howling wind, torrential rain - and my dad running round outside knocking pegs back in, then running back in and wiping the water running off the frame before running outside again to check the stability of the tent. Such was the trust I had in my dad, I went back to sleep unconcerned, lol. Now, watching the conditions you are often camping in, my stomach is churning!

[@BUSHMANandBLUE]

😂 one to remember. I remember similar as a kid

[@andrewgrimshaw5180]

Makes me smile seeing blue just chilling in the tent in those conditions! Just nothing seems to stress him. Just brilliant.

[@BUSHMANandBLUE]

He loves it! 🥰

[@coryaughtman157]

It's because blue is with his best friend ☺️❤️❤️☺️❤️

[@MrJC1]

i think it is because camping is good for dogs. gets them back into nature where they spent the vast majority of their evolutionary lives. haha. like for us really. EDIT: For Blue, it is like a big long walk... with a nice shelter for a break in the middle. haha. Well I suppose that is exactly what it is, but... he is in his element... is what I am saying.

[@Sandy-op3oh]

I just love seeing Blue, all snuggled and safe, as if nothing is going on 😊

[@BUSHMANandBLUE]

🥰 he always just chills and occasionally gives me a wink🥰

[@Truth1561]

Amazing- he trusts his dad!

[@edwardharrington678]

Very good. Bet the dog loves these adventures.

[@gingv.f.4781]

Omg, your so brave , thanks 4 sharing your daring video's,. & pls,keep safe.

[@outabeat]

That tent is fantastic in the wind. Even at the wind's full force you could see your breath on camera and your breath was stationary. There was no air shifting through the tent at all. Thus, it was taking the full brunt of the wind and inside although chaotic and shaking, there was no breeze passing through. Nice.

[@BUSHMANandBLUE]

It’s definitely a safe space if set up well👍👍👍

[@Claire-l4x]

Me and husband watch your videos of a evening when we're all cosy and warm. We love the videos and you've always got a smile on your face. no matter what weather throw at you. Keep up good work 👏

[@BUSHMANandBLUE]

Thanks Claire. It’s lovely you can watch together. 😊

[@jankarel6454]

Rain? Check. High winds? Check. Hail? Check. It's like Mother Nature said, "Oh, look--Al's going camping again. Let's see what we can throw at him this time!" Proper respect for getting through all that and keeping you and Blue safe. Even more respect for keeping a smile on your face while doing it. Thank you for sharing your adventure with us. I don't know how you manage to film while fighting the elements like this, let alone produce the wonderful videos you do every time.

[@BUSHMANandBLUE]

😂 I just get out whenever I can regardless and I’m only pointing a camera and filming what’s there. Thanks Jan as always.

Your videos are so well crafted and compelling that they inspire me on a personal level as well as make me feel like I'm right there with you and Blue on your adventures. Wicked weather on this one. Glad you both endured.

[@BUSHMANandBLUE]

I really hope to inspire others to do that little bit more in life. I’m glad you can join me on these adventures 😬

[@audgester]

It is inspiring to see you in such harsh conditions with a smile on your face and Blue with not a care in the world! This past summer I got caught in a huge torrential storm with high winds and I cried, lol. I was scared of the trees falling on me and I couldn't see a thing bc my tent is a fortress with a big rainfly and vestibule. I got through it and next storm will be better. We live and learn. Good on you guys for really sticking it out in some tough yet thrilling conditions.

[@BUSHMANandBLUE]

All good experiences. Near trees is always the scary one though that might knock the smile of my face literally 😂

Nothing like the soothing sounds of near gale storm winds and hail...if you're in a cozy cabin 😀. On a brighter note, it almost looks like you're on another planet near the the end of the video. Surreal yet stunning.

Love your videos. Yu are so enthusiastic and positive, your love for wild camping just shines like a beacon. I have climbed 85 munros and many other wainwrights and lesser hills and I would really love to try wild camping, your videos have inspired me at 62 to get a tent and try this!..always wanted to wake up on a mountain and get sunrise pics. I'm going to get into it in 2023..started researching tents so any recomendations welcome. Keep the videos coming and stay safe.

[@BUSHMANandBLUE]

You’re already there if you have the experience to get to these places👍. Definitely get some sunrises from a tent 👍👍👍

[@howardlong6735]

I'm enjoying your videos. I love your relationship and care for your dog. It brings back my camping times in the Lake district, You've even got me back using my West Yorkshire accent at times. I'm off back to the Lakes next time I come to England. Thanks for all the survival tips.

[@BUSHMANandBLUE]

Excellent Howard I’m glad I can take you along and remind you of Yorkshire 😉👍👍👍

[@thewhofan1964]

That looked brutal. I was expecting the hail to put holes in your fly sheet they were that big. Glad both Blue and yourself stayed safe. I'm up in Borrowdale for the next few days so might be up there myself.

[@BUSHMANandBLUE]

The hail really hammered down. It was like the BB gun fights as kids😂

[@Stormx2233]

That looked like so much fun, you can even see the tent fabric stretching under the wind.. and thise friggin hail stones.. nope that would have been me out, blue was the same.. wasn't having any of that.. lol

We managed and had a happy night even though it was pretty harsh. We’ve been in worse😉

[@jamieb741]

What an experience ! The noise levels, wow - if blue can sleep through that then wow. I need my sleep , so although I love the outdoors - I have to draw a limit somewhere. Another great video 👍

[@terryyy1944]

In army jungle training we were taught to make chopsticks from sticks we got from trees. One bigger stick is great for stirring. Of course, I don't suppose you want to leave the tent to gather sticks.

[@azclaimjumper]

I especially liked the introduction which included a forecast of what's coming. Double poles; hopefully they help to keep your tent intact. Unbelievable - that you forgot a knife & eating utensils. Hey, that what hands/fingers are for, eating. Loved your creative "flat spoon". You answered all my question during your Columbia boot dialog. @21:00 minutes - it appears that your guyout lines are equally taut. Blue sure knew when it wanted to get into the tent & out of the hail. Double poling that tent turned it into a 5-Star luxury shelter out in the boonies. Thank you, for taking your time, effort, & equipment to share this epic outdoor hail storm adventure. Warm Regards from bone dry Reno, Nevada U.S.A.

[@BUSHMANandBLUE]

Thanks Bill. Double poles definitely adds a level of safety when out in the wind nearly 5* 😂
