Such a wonderful and very peaceful time out in awsome nature ❤❤❤

[@MCMOutdoors]

It really is mate.

[@findmeoutdoorsuk]

I also enjoy my own company it must be an age thing! 😂 once in awhile to escape the chaos of life for a night spent outdoors in a shelter, soaking up the peace and quiet definitely helps the mind. Very enjoyable Sunday evening watch 👍

[@MCMOutdoors]

Haha, maybe! Thank you for watching and I'm glad you enjoyed it 👍

[@steveproud2893]

Good to see you back out enjoying yourself. Never camped in that spot it's usually busy. Great vid👍

[@MCMOutdoors]

Cheers Steve 👍

[@cathoutdoors523]

Another stunning location Chris. Awesome video. I agree better than any hotel or B&B. Have a great weekend see you on the next adventure. 😊👍

[@MCMOutdoors]

Cheers Cath! ATB 😁🏕️

[@rawhidecustom6332]

Another cracking camp, Chris. Those shots walking into camp were class. Feel the world slipping away. I agree about not mentioning specific spots. Just encourages armies of people to flood the same area when there's so many beautiful places to discover rather than flocking the same way. Looking forward to getting these STEERS Tags to their new owners ✊🏻

[@MCMOutdoors]

Nice one Max! Legend for supporting giveaway! 3 have come forward so far - will give it a few more days then chase them up directly 👍

[@ciaronbarry7147]

Magic video mate. Loved the sounds, or lack of sounds!!, scenery and everything about the camp. Keep up the good work

[@MCMOutdoors]

Cheers mate!

Great video, love the Lakes. Which tarn did you camp at, would to try it. would leave no trace as will be on my own. cheers Steve

[@MCMOutdoors]

Hi Steve, as clearly stated early in the video - I don't name exact locations - for the right reasons. ATB

[@glyn_mtn]

Great video, very soothing. ...I genuinely thought I was the only person who hiked in Ron Hills!

[@MCMOutdoors]

Always had Ron Hills, think they're great for hiking. Cheap too. ATB

[@glyn_mtn]

@@MCMOutdoors Me too. Extremely practical, decent amount of water repellency and super-quick drying. But don't tell everyone, they'll get popular again and go up in price!

Cannot beat it mate

[@GoingSoloOutdoors]

Finally got around to watching this. I’ve fallen a bit behind on my KZbin que lately. Such a relaxing camp Chris! Always nice to have a really quiet spot next to a beautiful tarn. All the best buddy!

[@MCMOutdoors]

Thanks mate - really enjoyed it. I'll be out next weekend and then who knows as it's schooo holidays so will have little free time. ATB pal

[@Peter-Lindsay]

Really enjoyed this one Chris, you really captured the moment and why we do it. Fantastic work 👍

[@MCMOutdoors]

Cheers Pete - glad you enjoyed it

[@AndyWardle]

Nice and relaxing mate. Sometimes does you good. Cracking pitch that. And the tent looked great. Send tent Send fishing rod send fox. 🦊

[@MCMOutdoors]

A good spot, but it needs a long rest. I felt like getting the canes, string and grass seed out 🤣 Send weary eyed barking snendle flies.

[@lomino6478]

Make sure you put something on the top of the canes so that people don't poke their eyes out. Nobody wants a colony of blind wildcampers wandering round frightening the sheep 😬

[@MCMOutdoors]

@lomino6478 🤣

[@garysgotatent]

Mate,I,m 67 and I,ve been a single parent for 15 yes.during lockdown yourself amongst others inspired me to camp and hike.i tend to site camping and do longer hikes.loving it as I,ve become a lone wolf in that department as my friends prefer the 4 and 5 star instead of the real ones.😅cheers for your hard work and getting the likes of me out making my own little adventures,for me its a big deal.😊

[@MCMOutdoors]

Top man, glad to hear that - makes it all worthwhile 👊👍

Great vid as always mate, had a bit of a crappy week so this was a great escape. New tent looks wicked, just can see why mark loves it too! You got a new mic? Sound is FANTASTIC 🤌🏻

[@MCMOutdoors]

Great light weight shelter mate! Trying out something different with audio yes. Thanks for watching 👍

[@BTurner.]

I moved from that tarn as it got too busy but I walked a few hundred yards down the outlet and found a better one. That was three years ago.

[@grahamscothern4319]

Cheers Benny, total relaxation doing what I love 👍

[@Adventures_with_Sog]

Ey up me duck. I know what you mean fella. To be alone with one's thoughts in peace and tranquility is sometimes the only thing that keeps a person from just giving up. It's like a deep cleansing of the soul. Take care brother 🤜🤛

[@MCMOutdoors]

Absolutely, wise words there. Thanks for watching too.

[@Backpackinbek]

This might be my favourite video yet, perfectly capturing what it’s like to hike/camp and the bliss of doing it solo 😍

[@MCMOutdoors]

That's what I tried to capture - so all good 👌👍

[@grahamarnhem8659]

Love these escapism videos on a Sunday night.excellent as always.

[@MCMOutdoors]

Hopefully a decent end to the end of half term 😊🏕️

[@rooksfoot1184]

Nice one Chris .. man its like that rockface was placed there just for ppl to kick back, lean back, and relax on..... Cheers

[@MCMOutdoors]

It's the beer sitting rock - carved out by glaciers for that very purpose 🍻 thank you for tuning in mate

[@tedwiley8215]

Absolutely amazing camping spot! It's like from Harry Potter where they zap to some secluded place & pitch a tent.....don't know if you've seen those movies.....anyway, thanks for another cool video. Great Sunday night cap. Cheers 🍻

[@MCMOutdoors]

Thanks Ted - great little overnighter!

[@AlanMETALMAN]

Nice bit of shelter for the tent and it does look like a real idyllic spot indeed. I could not ever imagine living in a city, for me it's my idea of hell and I like my own company too but also happy to meet and be with people as well. Given the weather have been having most of this year, it looks like you hit on lucky with the weather as well as the search for peace and solitude, cheers Alan

[@MCMOutdoors]

Cheers Al, I couldn't cope living in a city mate - would destroy me. Thanks for watching 👍

[@Phil.Oakley]

I prefer a solo camp. Always the better way to relax and unwind. Don't know about anyone else but I can see a one eyed face in the rocks @22.02 thru the tent mesh.. Glad it was peaceful and you had it to yourself!

[@MCMOutdoors]

I'll have to look back, sounds hideous 🤣 I was listening to a scary podcast too

[@105JEG]

Hey Chris, looks like a cracking spot to get away from it all, how are you getting on with the Anorak (No. 8) - saw your review ?

[@MCMOutdoors]

Had the Anorak many years, love it! 😁

[@scbrit6483]

Great video. What jacket did you have on?

Cheers, it's an Anorak No. 8 by Fjallräven

I cant believe your not on the West Highland Way! I'm so disappointed! 🤣 The Tarp Tent Stratospire has defiantly got my interest! Great stuff again 👍

[@MCMOutdoors]

I wouldn't have the time for that kind of thing just at the mo. Cheers for watching mate 👍

[@markwinno]

Looked fantastic mate, good to see you enjoying yourself as always.

[@trooperwolfie]

Stunning camp 👌🏻...I beat you in the singles ranking though...I'm 13 years single lol, just me, my son and daughter to think about, hopefully we'll be out next Saturday, and my daughter and I will be starting the Pennine way at the end of June (north to south) I can't wait for that. Those bla band meals are top dollar, I like the pouch shape, no messy fingers lol.

[@MCMOutdoors]

I guess sometimes, it's just how life is. Yes, they're quite hard to get hold of but the pasta bolognese for me is one of the best! Good luck for the Pennine Way! 👍🤞

[@trooperwolfie]

@@MCMOutdoors thanks buddy, I'll be uploading videos of our hike on my channel, watch this space as they say.

[@janeevans4758]

Absolutely idyllic Chris 👌,awesome pitch up,didnt you fancy a dip 😂.

Christ no, I heard the screams of the odd wild swimmer during my stay - I also wouldn't have wanted to scare off any hikers.

[@janeevans4758]

[@jodooxq]

Nice tent! Haven't seen this model before.Been thinking about getting the Notch but this one is much more spacious. Did you have to import it or can you buy Tarp Tents locally in the UK?

[@MCMOutdoors]

Had to import it mate. Only chance to get one in the UK is via the used market.

[@michaeljames8534]

An ace little camp Chris, you remain a true ambassador for the great outdoors. There is nothing wrong with enjoying being alone away from people. I am 48 and only recently started to enjoy my own company, when out camping. For some of us, hell is just other people, apart from our loved ones and friends of course. ATB

[@MCMOutdoors]

Thanks Michael, appreciate it. Keeping the content focused on a love for the outdoors and nature - they're the stars of the show and always will be. ATB, Chris

So good Chris, thanks for another absolutely cracking video. It is hard to grab in film a peaceful location but you damn well did in this one. Cheers, Warren :)

[@MCMOutdoors]

Cheers mate - in the era of click bait, I'm trying to keep things real and true to wild camping - ATB

[@ktswandering]

I prefer solo camping....just me, the wildlife, stars and ones own thoughts. No expectations......

[@MCMOutdoors]

Best way, absolutely

[@AntSurviveTheNight]

Beautifully filmed vid pal. One of my favourite places that and great to know there's actually fish in there. Tents looking fab, plenty of space in there. Good to hear your still enjoying Debbie 👍

[@MCMOutdoors]

Decent shelter mate! Yeah, would be perfect for the old fly rod! Nice one 🏕️

[@INSOLESandLACES]

Great video Chris. It's nice camping by yourself mainly for the freedom as no compromise needed and secondly for the quiet. Don't think it's an antisocial thing and you doing these vlogs proves that you're not antisocial. Many thanks for bringing us along. Start of video fooled me because I assumed you'd be in Snowdonia and I did recognise the landscapes.

[@MCMOutdoors]

Thanks for watching, appreciate it mate 👍

[@stuartscaife9313]

Nice soulfood for a Sunday evening. Thanks, mate.

[@MCMOutdoors]

Nice one Stu - always appreciated it pal

[@matthewcollis6259]

I know the spot - very idyllic. And no - being comfortable in your own company is not anti-social Chris, i've often felt those who aren't happy unless they are surrounded by other people can be a little insecure sometimes

[@MCMOutdoors]

Cheers Matt, a lovely spot mate!

[@DavidMichaelBurnett]

This is perfect. Loving your video (as I always do). I know you keep saying you're waffling when you talk about what it means to do it and the benefits of it, but for some reason it also relaxes me as a viewer and it's good for me winding down the day and it always reinforces why we should experience the outdoors in a healthy way like this. So don't stop with the talks 🙂👍🏻 Thank you for the brilliant content mate. I've had my first 'serious' wild camping tent delivered and I'm going to prepare to go on my first solo wild camp in the Lakes and this is inspiring for me - your experiences and also the talking 🙏

[@MCMOutdoors]

Thanks for the feedback mate - glad you found this one inspirational and enjoyable! That's what it's all about. Sounds quality that you're building your kit up pal!

[@CollierCraig79]

Done many a camp here mate, I also carried my rubber dinghy to the top one time and had a row around. Wish I could share the pics. Atb best mate great video as usual.

[@raymondlogister6828]

Thank you for this very nice video. Very beautiful images. I think the Tarptent Stratosphire is a great tent. Still haven't bought it though. Want to use it with my large medium dog. And I don't know if there's enough room for me and him Tarptent says that you can lower the inner tent, and then a second sleeping mat would even fit in. Do you know if that is correct?

[@MCMOutdoors]

Hi, thanks. Yes, you can drop the inner, which allows it to spread out slightly, creating more width. You can actually purchase a kind of side cot which goes in one of the vestibule..... Maybe the dog could sleep in that? There's also the 2 person version of the tent too. I really enjoy using it. ATB

[@raymondlogister6828]

@@MCMOutdoors Thank you for the answer.

[@MCMOutdoors]

@raymondlogister6828 no probs, best of luck with the purchase!

[@darrenstoopybaker8127]

Great video as always mate, I also l enjoy my own company mate but for me due to losing my wife to leukaemia 11 years ago now, I point this out not fishing for sympathy but to say at various times on our lives we adapt to whatever life throws at us and hopefully find a way to enjoy what we have going on at these different stages along our brief journey. Great to see you making the most of it mate, carry on making these vids as it really is a great watch. 👍

Thanks Darren - I'm sorry to hear that mate. Life has some pretty horrendous ways of testing us, but I guess it's how people deal with and recover from adversity that matters. ATB and thanks for taking time out to comment 👊👍🏕️

Same here ,love my own company, I've been single/divorced 23 years and just love it. Probably is anti social but I'm not really mithered how people judge me,my son is 27 and that's about it.
