Hiking and Wild Camping On Dartmoor Merrivale Area (Vango Mirage 200) - - Full Video

[@sconjaoutdoors7658]

Get on gents, my first time viewing your channel after hearing you getting lots of shout outs from the youtube community and i can totally see why after watching a few of your vids, now on to the back catalogue. Subbed. Great hike and wild camp pity about the shitty farts 😂😂. Atb Sconja 👍

[@SummitOrNothing]

Sconja Outdoors 76 Haha.. thanks very much for watching and glad you enjoyed your first video. yea there's a great community on here, good to know we all got each others backs.

[@GrizzlyGaz]

Loving these older camps lads. I've seen them all before but coming back for nostalgia...

[@mudsweatandtrails]

Ah the good old days. Ive come back to watch this again as i'm heading up the Merrivale area for a camp on Sunday. Cheers boys

[@rayfraser5537]

Our thing ! Nothing like true friendship ! Love the channel.

Enjoyed this video - then why not check out more Wild camping videos from Summit or Nothing - like this one... Our Wet and Windy Winter Wild Camp On Dartmoor - kzbin.info/www/bejne/fV7Qg59_etqFqbs or the sunnier Hike and Wild Camp around Yes Tor - kzbin.info/www/bejne/jIu9imaDeNx1gpo

[@MrRobertFarr]

Yes. It was a good video. I watched the beginning . Then skipped forward a bit. To the camping. I have been to that area many tines from my long term home in Plymouth. An interesting choice of camp sites there. Well done for pushing further upstream than I have ever been. My father and I explored that area a few years back. Foggin Tor was memorable and King Tor. I have only once camped on Dartmoor that I can remember. I usually head to the beach. But at the moment. I am interested in Wild Camping and Dartmoor . Particularly after hearing about legal Wild Camping. Actually thinking about it. I have camped on Dartmoor twice. The 2nd time. I was mentally very low. Luckily the adventure picked me up. I remember sleeping under a holly bush . By a river with very little equipment. Just a bottle of vodka actually. How lovely to have a companion to camp with. Fresh out of school, I had companions, but I am older now. And have only a few friends in real life. I kind of feel. I have to keep Wild Camping plans . A bit secret. I was thinking that taking a small radio along might be a good source of entertainment. Maybe some books for writing in. The problem is going to be batteries in mobile phones. Which are going to keep running out. I guess.

[@pilgrim3387]

Fair play to you Trev. The difference between your backpack and Naths is night and day. You did well to carry it around with that weight. Great vid. Really enjoyed it.

[@p.istaker8862]

Good video,thought Moby was a really good boy.Our dog would have been barking AND farting all night!

[@SummitOrNothing]

Haha! Yeah, moby is a good old boy. Thanks for watching, glad that you enjoyed it. Hope you have subbed for much more content! All the best!

[@240daniel]

Great vid! This will be our Day 2/3 evening walk but planning to stay around Roos and then walk back via Great Mis in morning of Day 3 👍🏼

[@SummitOrNothing]

Sounds great Dan - have a good one! Thanks for watching!

[@johnywaffle1365]

I'm at Great mis tor now on my own and my god it's foggy . Had a little break from the fog but it's back. Its now 8pm . Thanks to this channel I'm now doing this. Loving life. Oh and the wayfarer beef and vegetables was bloody lovely

[@SummitOrNothing]

Oh thqts great to hear that Dartmoor is spoiling you with typical grey conditions, lol. Good to hear that you have made it out. Once you start I reckon you wont be able to stop.

[@johnywaffle1365]

@@SummitOrNothing Had a pretty calm night but I kept hearing something outside the tent . I knew it was my tent moving about but the darkness does strange things to your head. Had 2 hours kip and was up and packed up by 6am cause it was still foggy. I'll be going back for more thats for sure

[@SpinachBob]

42:23 looked for a second like you were peeing into a saucepan by torchlight while the other guy filmed you!! (in previous shot you said you were going out for apiss). [sorry don't know your names even though I've recently watched a few of your dartmoor videos and enjoyed v much, better quality banter than any of the other outdoory channels on KZbin!)

[@Moor2Sea]

Brilliant stuff, I know im near 5 years behind but glad youve not removed any vids

[@SummitOrNothing]

Thanks for watching back through

[@robertheaps684]

Been watching your channel for a while now and on your advice me and a couple of mates did our first Dartmoor wild camping and did all the tor’s you and Nath did in this vid Spent 2 nights 1st. On Roos tor and the 2nd on great mid tor The same weekend you did Dartmoor in a day had a great time LNT

[@SummitOrNothing]

Thats great to hear, Robert - glad that you enjoyed yourselves and made the most of a fantastic area. Cheers for watching! Cheers !

[@jonfoulkes3160]

Great video guys, looks like you had fun 👍👍

Just incase you missed it, here's our latest winter Wildcamp. kzbin.info/www/bejne/rGTXaZquhdiYpqs

[@lacingtrails420]

Slowly going through the archive of videos on the channel. Prefer if they were 30/40min max and have two parts (would get you more content!). but their awesome to watch man. Hope you hit 10k soon.

[@SummitOrNothing]

Thanks very much - I do try to keep all new episodes below 30 min mark, but back when we started the videos were originally spilt into several 5 - 10 minute episodes, and then uploaded a month or so later as the full version - I have since deleted all the smaller parts and left the full versions! Some do feel a little long, and I have been slowly going through them doing a kind of directors cut version... well, I was during lockdown. In fact this very episode is the one I am currently working on... I say currently, I started it about four weeks ago and haven't done much to it since lol. Thanks for watching, glad that you enjoy the vids! Cheers!

[@lacingtrails420]

@@SummitOrNothing Good job man, fair play with the amount of effort you put in to the channel its worth it. Gets me and a load of people motivated to get off our arses and outdoors. big thanks to you and Nath.

[@dazzler115]

Excellent vid lads, watched in preparation for my own wild camp I'm planning this spring. Looked great fun

[@SummitOrNothing]

Thanks Darren. Hope you take away some useful nuggets of advice for your own wild camp... mainly do not share a tent with someone on a high protein diet lol. Make sure you watch out for our winter camp vid coming out next Sunday! All the best! Trev!

[@MsSteve70]

Brilliant video chaps! I very much look forward to catching up with others on your marvellous channel. Take care, Steve

[@SummitOrNothing]

Thanks MsSteve70 - glad you found us, and glad you're enjoying the vids too. Thanks for watching and all the best!

[@outdoorsgeorge6896]

Absolutely brilliant again, loved the gassy tent 🤣 I’m heading to Dartmoor today for the first time and will try and take this route I was following it on the map as I was watching and looks like a good route, hopefully do a camp there tonight too if all goes well! Cheers for the video again guys👍🏻 George

[@SummitOrNothing]

Thats great George. I hope you enjoy yourself. Bare in mind the river crossing underneath Great Mis Tor at the end. Been a lot of rain fall this week. Take care!

[@outdoorsgeorge6896]

@@SummitOrNothing cheers for the heads up, it was all ok though, it’s actually where I ended up camping, beautiful little spot, I’ll be sure to visit again soon and get a few more tors ticked off, cheers again 👍🏻

Great vid guys and looked like a great day and camp. ATB, Dave

[@SummitOrNothing]

Cheers Dave, it was a great day and for our first camp, it went ok. Got the camping bug now, Ive even got myself a tent of my own at last.

[@mrg589]

Great video. Really enjoyed watching that. As for the water bladder, try filling it with a solution of bicarbonate of soda and leaving it overnight. Give it a couple of rinses and that should do the job.

[@SummitOrNothing]

MAte - I had the bloody bladder for three weeks and tried every solution on the internet - the bloody thing still smelt rank. I took it back lol. Thanks for watching, glad you enjoyed it!

[@electricbikerider]

First camp, bunking up together, I had tears in my eyes 😂😂😂 ⛺️

[@SummitOrNothing]

So did I hahah!

[@TOM_OUTDOORS]

best video you have done so far guys! i absolutely loved it and found myself howling with laughter at certain points! it perfectly captured the spirit of wild camping and took me back to my first one. your's will be a memorable one mate, brilliant stuff! congrats! and sorry i've only just got round to watching it lol atb Tom.

[@SummitOrNothing]

Cheers Tom - glad you finally got round to watching and no worries. Better late than never, eh, mate. I know you're a busy bloke. Its hard to keep up to date with everything. Yeah, we both had a great time, and after this weekend have just been out on Camp number 3 - we are both starting to find our way with kit etc. A new kit video comes out this week, where we show some new kit and discuss how we are taking everyones advice on board. Thanks for watching dude. Speak soon!

[@GillianSmith]

Awesome; great to see the full adventure 👍🏻

[@SummitOrNothing]

Gillian Smith thank you. glad you like it

AAHHH the Walkham valley x

[@WyeExplorer]

I think training is key Trev in hiking well. Some good squats, lunges and running. Can't shock the system as you both muted there. You two are great hiking buddy's...a good vibe all the time. It's that groovy thing I reckon - the rhythm amid amazing country and trails! The water bladder? Go with platypus - a simple solution. I had one of them other bladders and I don't use it now. Tastes shit. Ben Nevis - go for it. Wanna see that. Listen to the moor......fantastic outing. Mark.

[@SummitOrNothing]

Yeah, i have started a bit of a routine at home now in between walks, but tbh its my lungs that go first - too many fags in the past. Nath and myself both get on well, and even when we sometimes do get a bit tetchy with each other as the day wears on we still remain in good humour. Thanks for watching, Mark.!

[@WyeExplorer]

What do they say Trev? 'Use it or loose it.' My lubgs weren't good for years. Paul and I smoked everything under the sun for many years and paid the price. I haven't smoked for 4 years now but I still get tight chested and Paul suffered with his breathing also but still managed to trail run even a day before he died. So keep at it bro and get strong. Relationships? Hot and cold sometimes but mostly warm hopefully. All the best for week. Mark.

[@uncatila]

I looked up the weight of your pack. it's around 5 lbs. I'm getting the Existing mountain 5500. it's close to that same weight.

[@AlanMETALMAN]

A long video, which I am sure I have watched before but still an enjoyable one. I had to laugh at the video start when your headless body was taking to the camera. For years, whenever the missus took a photo of me, there were always major body parts missing, I used to have a complex I had some horedious disfigurement, I was not aware of! That mist came down quick mind and an early night in the tent must have been a mare, especially with all that gas flying about lol! I also had to lol at the comment, so looks like an early night....... Errr, you seen Brokeback Mountain then?..........That would have been me off, running through the mist, screaming for the missus lol! Great watch, cheers Alan

[@SummitOrNothing]

Hahah cheers for watching Alan - glad you enjoyed it! The Brokeback Mountain line was me making sure that Nath didnt get any ideas - lol - i know how influential thee films can be haha. Was a good day, and my first wildcamp. Made all the better for catching the low mist timelapse in the dawn. Cheers for watching pal. All the best!

[@robfearonphotographyhillwa9583]

Ha ha great Video Trev loved it, re your bladder freeze it overnight with lemon juice and water and it will get rid of the horrible taste

[@SummitOrNothing]

Ahhhh. Great advice, Rob! Thanks will try it out with my next bladder. Ive got one on the way actually . Cheers.

Somehow not managed to find this video until now!

Those stone markers, maybe thats how they got around hundreds of years ago without proper maps.The P means towards Plymouth the T towards Tavi and B towards Bovey perhaps? Nearest points of civilisation.

[@MrRobertFarr]

A 200ml or 300ml bottle of vodka luckily. Of course about 500ml of vodka could kill a chap . A drink worth a avoiding really.

[@andrewroberts5140]

How many takes did you do before you got through the Brokeback Mountain sketch without laughing? It cracks me up every time. :) And what's that eerie music you added at 39:45? Inspired choice.

[@sidestickflyer]

My 'Missus' keeps asking me why I keep watching your videos. My reply is simple. They are out there having a great laugh in all winds and weathers and enjoying the freedom! Wish I was with you! Really 'Joyed' it Trev and Nathan and especially the wild camping. I'm definitely dusting off my lads DofE Vango Tempest tent in the very near future and heading down to the Moor! PS. Even the 'missus' wants to come now!

[@SummitOrNothing]

Well I'm glad you 'joyed it' lol. And thanks for watching through our back catalogue too, i know there's a lot to get through s really appreciate it! We are hoping to get back out for a wildcamp soon, it seems like ages ago that we managed to get out! Glad you got 'your missus' on board too, lol. Atb - Trev!

[@georgedpost]

I did not comment when this was first released.

[@SummitOrNothing]

Well why the hell not?!

[@georgedpost]

@@SummitOrNothing probably because I'm such a big shot youtube viewer. Or maybe I did comment and you deleted it with your super awesome youtube powers. Yeah that's it. You deleted it because it was too funny and you were jealous. Serious question, can youtube creators delete or edit my comments?

Nath you trevved that intro right up lol

[@SummitOrNothing]

Always 🤣🤣🤣

[@vikingoutdoors8468]

that was brilliant Trev and Nath! really enjoyed that! I'm inspired to go to that area and do a similar walk and wild camp. from what I gathered roos tor looked the best to camp on. think I saw at least one nice spot for a small tarp and bivvy. what do you think? cheers guys

[@SummitOrNothing]

Ideal Tim. Glad you enjoyed it. Yeah, there's plenty of spots across that area that would make some great campsites, but yeah, Roos would be ideal. Its a bit out on its own too, so wouldn't get as much traffic. Look forward to seeing your next outing!

[@Martynkitchen1]

How do you rate the banshee over this tent great videos laying flat out with a bad back for a week you guys made me laugh and that hurts right now thanks for all the laughs truly insperational

[@SummitOrNothing]

Thanks for the really great comment - glad we can keep you entertained whilst your laid up - hope you soon recover. The Banshee is a smaller tent - despite calling itself a two-man tent it barely fits one man - but is smaller / lighter so better to carry. I actually don't mind it - nice little tent! Thanks for watching Martyn! Atb Trev!
