Those Lakeland vistas are amazing in the way they make such a small country, take on the appearance of continental vastness. As for Blue, looking for that darling pup is the first thing I do when I watch your videos. He's a pup n a half bless his heart. The best buddy a guy could have. Look after him boy, and make sure you bring him safely home from the hill every time.

[@BUSHMANandBLUE]

He is an amazing dog! I definitely feel lucky having him. Thanks bud.

Another great video! The views were amazing, especially the distant view of the sea. If you were to ask Blue what he would like to come back as, I believe he would say...as Blue! Such a happy dog. Sometimes I think if he were any happier on the top of a mountain, that he would just levitate. You might need a new command, just in case he does that.

[@BUSHMANandBLUE]

😂 thanks Jan. Blue definitely does have a good life getting the stimulation he needs. There are days when you end up being inside and he only gets basic walks in the woods and it does seem enough for him but he loves the long adventures on the mountains. 👍

Afternoon Allen and Blue, or is it classed as evening now that we're into autumn 🍂 🤔 😀. Loved the views when you got to the top, pretty much uninterrupted by the clouds too. Them new Zealand dehydrated meals looked cool, I don't know how you managed to get all your kit into a 38ltr, I struggle with my atmos 65 😂. Glad you enjoyed your meal, I did check them out, they come in 2 sizes, and prices obviously, no doubt you've already looked yourself now lol. Thanks for sharing and I'll look forward to your next adventure 👍

[@Bearpaw000]

Vasoline has many uses lol😊

[@matsalm2943]

I understand that you love the mountains in Lake district. I was yesterday thinking about that very many people do hike and discover the nature around them. Some just do day hikes and some stay overnight for shorter or for a longer adventure. I lived in Germany close to Lake Konstanz for 8 years. It was nice and we had 1 hour drive for skiing in places like St. Anton and walking those mountains in the summer. My wife comes from Austria which means we often have been skiing in many places in Austria and also been hiking. In the alps you can often take the cabin lift to quite high up and then walk down to the valley. The peaks are very often much higher and are more for the specialists. What always struck me in the alps are how much people there are. That also goes for the forests where there is a german almost behind every tree. In Sweden and Norway it is very different. We always have the wilderness close to our cities. The further north you go the greater areas of solitude, mountains and deep forests. Here you are unlikely to meet anyone. Many natural reserves there with old forests that never been cut. I thought I would post a video from one man that does excellent videos and and several adventure trips every year. In most countries yo can find the wilderness and have sorter or longer adventure. Sometimes with a friend and often alone. I choose his latest adventure that have subtitles in English. I think you like that short video. Very different to Lake district but still totally stunning. kzbin.info/www/bejne/jpu6lIendqigaLs

[@BUSHMANandBLUE]

Thank you👍. It definitely can be busy in many places so winter camping and adventures is more pleasant for me when you can go out for hours and not see a soul. I’ve toured through Europe a few times and have enjoyed many places but I’d love to go to Norway😬😬😬

[@matsalm2943]

@@BUSHMANandBLUE You can easily combine a trip for Sweden and Norway. The Swedish side have more huge forest and often mountains that are not so steep and more rounded. Our mountains have experienced several ice ages so we are at the roots of our mountains.They formed around 600-700 miljon years ago. On the Swedish side you find natural reserves with untouched forests .and real wilderness and you can walk for days. Finland is said to be the country of a thousand lakes. Sweden have 100 000 lakes. You can pass over to Norway within a days walk. The Norwegian side have areas with mountains that more look like what you have in Lake district. If you stay a couple of weeks you can also paddle the lakes from Norway to Sweden or the opposite. Ally canoes are great because the are very light and you can drag them many times instead of carrying them. Think Blue will love the remote areas and the many animals that you will see. If you watch a few of this guys youtube videos you will get a good feeling for the nature in and how it change from the areas shortly north of Stockholm to the mountains much further north.

[@BUSHMANandBLUE]

Sounds like I’ll have to make it an expedition 👌. When I get some money I’ll definitely head that way👍

[@matsalm2943]

@@BUSHMANandBLUE Yes you might take a first bite and not try to chew up the whole elephant in on go. sweden is roughly the same size as Germany. However we only have 10% of that population. Most people live in the southern part where you also find Stockholm., Gothenburg and Malmö. Sweden is a very long country. If you tipped Sweden over at the south tip it would reach down to Rome. Sweden is not cheap but Norway is much worse.. If you like to plan for a long trip to Sweden I think you should go by car. I seen that the KZbinrs Kent Survival and Simon a bloke in the woods paddeled Canoes in Norway and Sweden this summer.. They can presumably give you lot of information. As a native I presumably is bit homeblind. .FRom where I live in Gothenburg it is almost 1900 km to Nordkapp. That is the fastest an shortest roat. So if you plan domething look st

Never carried a first aid kit and learned a valuable lesson at the weekend, I was wild camping in the lakes and woke up in the middle of the night in agony, my face had swollen up due to an abscess in my gums, literally lay around in pain for hours until day light to go to Keswick to buy some painkillers to ease it off until I got home to see the dentist today, something so simple would of helped me out,

[@matthewcollis6259]

Am having a very cheeky Tuesday, caught the latest from MCM and then this one after! Love a Saison (it's a style of beer by the way) and if you're looking for something even further out there try a 'Kveik' style which is a Norwegian farmhouse beer - be warned it has a very peculiar 'nose' to it :) which is not to everyone's taste. If you're ever out South Lakes way see if you can get some Fell brewery, they do some cracking ales and have a couple of pubs locally. I bought the Lanshan 2 Pro and looking forward to using it - am hoping it can take a bit of weather as we are in Autumn now and it's not going to get less windy now

Yes learning with the beers. Definitely get out in some nice weather in your Lanshan. There will be plenty of calm days still👍

[@mk1aquatic739]

Great video, remember walking this route a few years back, what a stunning place for a wild camp. Also remember the Halifax bomber wreckage and memorial on Great Carrs. Turmat meals and expedition meals in the 800 cal size also have the lower cut off on the pack, which definitely makes them easier to eat! Would recommend getting an insulating pouch to put a pack meal in while you're waiting for it to cook and rehydrate...it definitely keeps the heat in better, especially in winter!

[@BUSHMANandBLUE]

I’ve never tried the tumat as they are for the super rich😂. An insulated pouch is a good idea but I’d have to try find a second use for it so it’s worth carrying. 👍

Great vid as always AL. I just want to share something withnyou about the trekker chair, you can actually using it without putting your mat inside and i have been using mine with just a cheap Forclaz sit pad from Decathlon which i always take with me to use to sit and kneel on . Also i heard how you liked that Lan shan but trust me on this you need to get a Duomid or a Hexpeak pyramid tent because they are absolutely rock solid ion the wind and especially the hex peak it doesn't flap at all even in very strong winds......i own 3 Hillebergs and both the Durstans now plus i have had all sorts of different tents over the past 4 decades but these Pyramid tents are the absolute best and really light too. I am going to be selling off my Hillebergs very soon because they just weigh too much for me these days and i can get a lot more space with a lot less weight thanks to the Pyramids...The Egyptians knew what they were doing back in the day for sure :)

How kind of your patreons to bring you food all the way from NZ!😊 The halfway rip is a great idea, I’ve seen @HazeOutdoors use Real Turmat food and they have the same but at £11 it is a bit eye watering so for now I’ll burden the weight of real food 😊

Hello! Where does dog drink water from?

[@BUSHMANandBLUE]

Usually any stream or puddle but if there isn’t much water I’ll give him some

[@fozzylad1981]

Great video, Are you and Solo Summiteer going to do a video together? That would be brilliant 💪

[@BUSHMANandBLUE]

I’d camp with anyone really😬

[@davidpilsworth1254]

Was Blue more tired than normal

[@BUSHMANandBLUE]

No we just had a relaxing night 😬

[@thomashagen3829]

I have to agree with Bruce N below! Had a seance for my best friend, who passed away. His wife was there as well. He told us he ate a little, drank a little, had a little sex, then a nap. Said he was reincarnated and ended up as a stud bull in West Texas.

[@BUSHMANandBLUE]

😂 I’d come back as stud too😂

[@petersmithm9]

Blue seemed a little subdued, is he OK?

[@BUSHMANandBLUE]

Totally fine. We just had an easy night out👍
