Lake District Wild Camp - Part 2

[@johncochran9860]

An adventure indeed Jem. You are literally going from strength to strength. Wonderful views throughout during a tough challenge. I don't know who was more pleased to see your car me or you. Tremendous effort.xxx

[@jemsjournal]

Thank you! I had the best time 🙌❤️

[@gordonj498]

Only just discovered your channel and 34000 steps and 14 miles is a jaw dropping achievement. I was knackered just watching you.

[@jemsjournal]

Thanks so much Gordon 🤗

[@ranbirsingh7666]

Thanks so much Vicky 🤗

[@musquito7865]

You’ll have all those peaks scaled in no time at the rate you’re going. I hope you have some more challenges lined up. Very good advice on breathing through your nose and taking small steps - it definitely works.

[@jemsjournal]

Thanks Martin! I don't have anything lined up yet..... Any suggestions?

[@jonhughes4550]

Well done Jem . That's a 2 sold days hiking under the belt.

[@jemsjournal]

Thanks so much 🤗

[@glennholdom7005]

A great video, Jem. A lovely part of the world. Love it here.

[@jemsjournal]

It really is beautuful in the LD 😍

[@finger351]

That's a lot of hiking, the most I've done in a day was 14 miles. Half way I was hoping for a helicopter taxi service to get back to the car. But let's face it, there are worse things to wake up to than those views ☺

[@jemsjournal]

I was absolutely shattered at the end of day 1 🥴 but it was so worth it ❤️

[@whitetongueoutdoors]

Well done on your nine summits and also completing Via Ferrata !!! atb

[@jemsjournal]

Thanks so much 🤗

[@jimfarrell8466]

Well done Jem, that was some hike, can see the change in you and how confidant you are now. great video's.

[@jemsjournal]

Thanks so much Jim 🤗

Hi Jem. Paul Ratcliffe making first comment ever. You have inspired me. Just watch your Lake District wild camp vids and well impressed. Would however like to encourage you to count Haystacks as a summit though. If you can't count it as 1 of your 40 it is a Wainwright summit and you crossed 9 Wainwright's off on that outing. A great start to ticking AW's list off. All good stuff Jem, enjoying all you do.

[@jemsjournal]

Hi Paul! Thank you so much for watching and commenting 🤗 I won't be counting it as a summit towards my 40 @ 40 but it has been logged 😜

[@billymccracken7933]

believe it or not it was manageable with the early start, lots of water and the iron lung waiting for me at the top !!!!! Glen Coe this weekend - yes I am biased !!!!

Great route Jen. Well done 👍

Thanks Mal 🤗

[@jemsjournal]

Thanks so much 🤗

[@shaunmasters7211]

Another great video.

[@outdoor_spirituality]

Last year I have done a lot of wild camping, this year was planning to also do the same, but ending up in car crash, ended it up for some time, 50% of survival chances, and then being told I might have been disabled for the rest of my life, without being able talk or even walk... Miracle had happened and I can talk and walk, I still wait for my "skull" and eyes to get fixed, in order for having chance of more wild camping. Glad to see some else enjoying it though!

[@jemsjournal]

Sounds like you've been on one hell of a journey but are thankfully on the road to recovery. Thank you for sharing a part of your story and I wish you the very best 🤗

[@r13gbs]

Fantastic vid ,,Keep em coming and stay safe.👍

[@TheSoloSummiteer]

Nice one Jem. Been up in that area myself this weekend. You looked absolutely shattered at the end of that first (big) day. By the end you were glowing 🤩. Brilliant. I have a feeling you’ll be heading back up north very soon 😎⛰⛺️🙏🏻. ATB - Dave

[@jemsjournal]

Thanks so much. I was exhausted but content. No plans to head back to the lakes yet but I'm sure I'll squeeze another trip in before the year is out 🤗

[@davemassingham2096]

Well done jem that’s a long hike 👌

[@jemsjournal]

Thanks Dave 🤗

[@leslieharding8560]

Hi Jem, really enjoyed part 2 of your Lake District Hike. You have progressed so much in body and soul since you first started your channel, have loved every minute following your adventures, thank you so much for putting so much thought and work into these videos, we all appreciate it!. But make sure you give yourself some time off from filming, and just enjoy your own time for your self only. 🙂

[@jemsjournal]

Thanks Leslie 🤗. I took my inflatable kayak out on a camp this weekend and didn't bother filming. Whilst it was nice, now I'm a bit gutted that I don't have the memory of it, which is why I started filming in the first place 😂

[@leslieharding8560]

@@jemsjournal Yea, fully understand that, lovely to look back over our adventures, am the same! 🙂

Just back this afternoon from sweltering up on Helvellyn. It was way too warm even starting out at 4am !!!

[@jemsjournal]

There is no way on earth you'd hanr got me out climbing a mountain today! I think I'd have suffocated 😂 Fair play to you 💪

[@JimCrossan]

Looking good lady.. Enjoy xx

[@TheJk38]

That was a hard couple of walks. I live not far Buttermere and have done both. Glad to see you enjoying the fells.

[@jemsjournal]

Thanks John 🤗 jealous you live so close 😂

[@torsandmors]

Wowzer .brilliant 👍

[@thedawnawakens]

Yo Yo Jem, awesome video again. Pretty impressive having all your gear in a 30ltr pack btw, and as always... love watching your adventures.

[@jemsjournal]

Thanks Geoff 😘

[@rikwhite8150]

Nice one Jem. Brilliant part 2 and conclusion. Did you manage a dip at the end? I’ll be awaiting your next adventure, and infectious smile. Stay safe 🙂

[@jemsjournal]

Yes I did! I went back to the Waterfall and had a well needed dip 😁 Thanks so much Rik 🤗

[@craoutdoors6827]

Lovely video, have to say you must of been roasting in the leviathan in the summer I m sure it has a comfort rating of about -6😯.

[@jemsjournal]

Thanks! That's the beauty of a sleeping bag.... You can just unzip it when you get hot 😆

[@JM-xy8zy]

Gud job jem !! Looking gud !! Do keep an eye on the pain in the hips n neck..!! U gotta have ur body in top notch condition to be hiking long distance !! Great going !! Enjoy !! Godbless !!

[@peterdavies5694]

I was in Honnister last year in exactly the same spot but the weather was blowing a hoolie. Love the video and can't wait for the next one 😍

[@jemsjournal]

Thanks so much Peter 🤗

[@andrewcowan1767]

Get in Jem!!!😎. That’s some achievement, it’s class when you can see the whole route you’ve walked isn’t it. What’s next on the adventure list and what criteria are you using for your 40 mountains, are you going to have a go at bagging the Wainrights? Arghh, so many questions!😂😂😂

[@jemsjournal]

Haha. Thanks Andrew! I was in Snowdonia a couple of weeks ago so that video will be coming out next and then the plan is to head to to Yorkshire because I've not been and haven't climbed any mountains there yet 😁 The criteria for my 40@40 is that they have to be solo climbs and anything over 2000ft / 609m counts as a summit. As much as I love the lake district and would spend as much time there as possible, I don't think bagging wainwrights will be an option for me at the moment. The lakes are 6 hours away from me and it's too expensive to get there and back.

[@andrewcowan1767]

Yeah, fuel prices are a pain aren’t they….but, having said that, where there’s a will there a way and the universe works in strange ways. Or something like that!😂. Have you thought about setting up a Patreon account?🤔 I’m liking your criteria, that’s pretty cool…funnily enough the Yorkshire Dales are on my old doorstep and I’ve never walked them, looking forward to seeing what you make of them.

[@jemsjournal]

@@andrewcowan1767 not considered a patron.... Not sure how I feel about it if I'm honest 🤔 Looking forward to visiting somewhere new 😁

[@andrewcowan1767]

Ah right, I’m not sure how patreon works, I guess you’ve got to actively promote it which might not sit well?🤔. If it helps, I don’t mind chucking cups of coffee your way as often as I can….selfishly I’m getting a fair bit of motivation from your videos and I’m a big believer in supporting folk who are on similar journeys. 😊✌️ Bet you can’t wait, you’re on fire!😂😎. It’s a great feeling when the body and mind responds to the exercise and copes with it better and better. (That was terrible grammar, I do apologise!😂). Back over the lakes for me tomorrow, one more day in Durham at the end of the week then that’s me gone for good….nothing but outdoor adventures for the foreseeable future! Can’t wait!!🤞👏

[@jemsjournal]

@@andrewcowan1767 Awww thank you! I'm glad you feel inspired, I can't ask for anything more than that really 😁 Sounds like you've got a fun summer ahead 🙌

[@chrisdavies3825]

Check out the Sierra Designs flex capacitor 20/40 Jem. Its not that expensive and is super comfortable(probably the most comfortable pack i own.And i have a few!) It is also very light weight. The missus and i love your videos.Thankyou for letting us enjoy your trips.

[@jemsjournal]

Aww thanks so much Chris, I'll definitely check it out 😁

[@chrisdavies3825]

Valley and Peak have it for sale for £108,an absolute steal.

[@craig3401]

Just had a quick search blacks are doing the osprey talon 33 for 80 quid there a good lightweight pack I have the 44 and I like that pack also you arnt cramming things in like you have to do with the smaller packs.scarp the stratos there far 2 heavy for there size

[@jemsjournal]

Refer to other comment 😂🤗

[@Dingleowl1582]

👏👏👏👏👏 👌 👍

[@craig3401]

That looked like it really took it out of you that's some impressive milage for the 1st day but you pushed through and did it.you are definitely getting stronger and looks like some weight loss aswell.im doing the same route this week but I'm breaking it up into 2 camps.ive done dale head side before as part of the newlands round years ago.as for the pack think a 36l would be better but they do tend to start jumping up in price not sure how much the osprey stratos are but there good as for the pad I've started using the thermarest uberlite for 3 season camps so small and light I don't find it 2 noisey either think the xlight is noisey tho.i get sun sticks from decathlon and keep a stick in my pack there great wedgz there called factor 50.

[@jemsjournal]

Thanks so much CraigI know what pack/kit I want. I have a list as long as my arm I just can't warrant spending the money at the moment so will be making do eith what I have for now 😁

[@craig3401]

@@jemsjournal yea we all have long lists lol it can get very expensive

[@richardborley7326]

Brilliant Jem , loved part 2 as much as the first. Two big walks youve done there with camping gear, well done. Glad you like the LD , it’s my favourite, so I’m hoping you are planning some more walks and camps up there. Thanks for sharing. 👌👌

[@jemsjournal]

Hey Richard, thanks so much 🤗 I would love to spend all my time in the LD, unfortunately it's 6 hours away from me and the fuel prices are so expensive. It'll have to be a special treat every now and and then rather than a regular 😊

[@hikermikem8]

😁 Very well done Jem.. That was a great adventure from start to finish. Yes, you should feel proud of yourself that is quite a tough route to do carrying all your gear and in the warmer months. Look forward to your next outing. Great videos 👍😁

Thanks so much Mike 🤗
