Wild camping on Pen yr Ole Wen mountain in Snowdonia

[@sperks73]

Absolutely stunning film; amazing quality cinematography and sound 👌

[@TheWindyBurrow]

I like the format to have both the silent hike/bivvy part at first and as adding its BTS version after. Love the drone shot at 9:30, great spot of course, amazing views

[@glyn_mtn]

Stunning. The quality of the photo/video goes without saying, your patience however, is incredible!

[@neilgirling1798]

Absolutely awesome footage, loved it, thanks chris, stay safe 👍

[@stephenaucock6118]

Really enjoyed that. Great camp location, I love Pen Yr Ole Wen.

[@LordHeath1972]

Another cracking video from an incredibly enthusiastic, dedicated and talented hiker/photographer! 2:40 Thanks for that shot, Chris!!

[@chrishomer]

🤣🤣🤣🤣 you’re welcome

[@richardholland1116]

Great video again. The silent part is like if we are on the mountain side, fantastic.

[@chrishomer]

Cheers Richard

[@mariagomezbrown200]

Mind blowing footage as always

[@owenwilliams9582]

Da Iwan Chris, nothing better than a fry up in the hills with Tryfan looking down on ye. Keep the vids coming cheers.

[@chrishomer]

Diolch yn fawr. Dw I’n mwynhau brecwast a Tryfan. Two of my favourite things 🤣

[@DaveGoodman1959]

A fantastic spot Chris and interesting video. Thanks 🍺

[@mboutdoors_uk]

Outstanding as always Chris. Mega effort shooting all that pal, hats off to ya! What a beautiful part of the world to while away a day or so, absolutely stunning 👌🏼 Look forward to the next one 😎

[@stefanvillette9830]

Why would anyone want to skip the silent bit??? BTS section is good for info/more footage, but your silent shots are what make your style unique. really looking forward to finally go and check that place in june (2 years+ after watching your first video of the area) hopefully some of the daytime timelapse footage on YT soon, yes?🙌

[@chrishomer]

Haha thanks, I think a lot of people skip through it. Each to their own. Thanks mate, awesome! You’ll love it

[@Professionalmoochers]

Nicely edited 👌🏼 We’re planning to camp up there soon, this wet our appetites 🤩

[@R6PhilOutdoorEnthusiast]

Fantastic video Chris, pity the Timelapse didn’t work out 100% but only means one thing, you can go back and do it again 👍 Some stunning scenery in that valley I must try harder to go to Wales instead of the Lakes. Thanks for sharing your adventure mate 👍

[@chrishomer]

Cheers mate, Lakes next or at least soon for me. Ain’t been in years. But yes, a good excuse to get back here too! 🤣

[@anthonyjohnson8672]

Great watch as always chris

[@DrunkOnWanderlust]

Beautiful footage 🤗🤗 your so patient!

[@otf.outdoors]

Great video mate, loved the way you film your videos, the angles, editing etc, I thought the time lapse you got at the end was cracking 👌, such a beautiful spot you chose to pitch too, having it all to yourself even better, look forward to watching more on your channel, atb Mick 👍

[@PackBoots]

Awesome vid Chris. Loved every minute and bought back great memories of my last trip to the Glyders. Cracking spot you found for your camp. ATB Mark

[@scrappy1859]

Great video, thanks 👌👍

[@ninjamatt77]

Great video again, Chris. Loved the rugged scenery, looked a great camp! 😀

[@Stainphotography]

Great video, I wanna camp there, great views

[@henryporter5466]

Great view of the Osprey on the Mach loop, Chris. And liver, the food of Gods!!

[@chrishomer]

Hahaha, liver edit. Nice 👌

[@Twin_Peaks_Outdoors]

Another cracking video Chris, can’t beat peace and quiet in the mountains especially with that view and a Not Poodle and a beer 🍺 😁, the Oggie valley never disappoints does it? ATB Mark & Simon 👍👌

[@chrishomer]

Erm, occasionally tbh 🤣

[@joflavell3020]

Brilliant 👏 👏 👏

[@adge_ventures4915]

Quality Chris. It's clear to see the value of time spent in the mountains for you. Great camp spots looking across at what I think is the best view down there. The summit of Pen yr ole Wen looking across is just insane. That's where you'll find me and my discreet red tent more often than not 😂 Stay safe and well mate, Adge.

[@chrishomer]

Hahaha. My red inner often has me putting the green cover over as quickly as possible

[@nightsinthewild]

Loved the route and camp. Need more Noodles in Pots in my life. Usually need bread and butter with said dish however many would recoil 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 oh and a beer

[@chrishomer]

Chicken and mushroom Not Poodle in white bread? That’s the stuff of Michelin star restaurants

[@nightsinthewild]

@@chrishomer phwoar!! Melting the butter. Give James Martin a heads up to spread the word 🤣

[@adamtoutdoors6390]

Pure brilliance mate. What a view you had, stunning location. Great work ATB Adam 👍🏻👍🏻

[@chrishomer]

It’s an great spot, gonna have to return

[@adamtoutdoors6390]

@@chrishomer not surprised you am mate 👍🏻

[@MCMOutdoors]

Great work Chris. Captured the raw beauty and atmosphere of the Ogwen Valley here perfectly. I've got many fond memories of scrambling the Heather Terrace on Tryfan back in the day, plus Chasm Face on Glyder Fach with the infamous 'catwalk' and chimney which you crawl into (I wouldn't fit these days). Particularly enjoyed the slider shot from inside and out of the tent to reveal Tryfan - keep up the good work pal. ATB

[@chrishomer]

Had some decent shots from the slider that didn’t make the video, first time mountain climbing with it. Wonderful, but bloody hell it’s a pain in the ass, both faff and pretty much ruined my audio quality, live and learn I guess. Nice to put it to use. Cheers mate

[@ASTHECROWFLIESHIKING]

[@gerardwells2945]

Great video as usual chris 👍🏼

[@susanplant7739]

I bet you were buzzing getting the plane shots! Honestly you make me want to learn mountaineering. I think I could go on a familiar track by myself but sleeping the night on my own would terrify me🤣

[@chrishomer]

I’ve seen those workouts. You’ll be fine I’m sure 🤣

[@northernimagesphotography]

Stunning video as always Chris. I love that view of the OV from there, I’ve climbed to almost that exact spot countless times to photograph the low level aircraft, that’s when I’m lucky enough they come through. I’ll never get tired of looking at the view, all there is to do for 95% of the day. I was just wondering what might come through and then that osprey flew past followed by a Texan and the Puma helicopter. I’m down in 3 weeks, I’ll have to finally summit it, seems wrong I’ve spent so long on the side of it and never have. Looking forward to your next instalment. All t’best, Aiden.

[@chrishomer]

Cracking spot isn’t it. Had a handful of others that I didn’t or couldn’t film, the Puma was interesting. Was some kind of exercise going on, it was doing touchdowns at Bochlwyd both day and in the middle of the night too. Unusual but great to watch

[@Ediconic1]

Cheers Chris

[@shafhussain929]

Wonderful! Appreciate the effort you put in to capture beautiful footage…I mean how many ppl take a camera slider on a hike? Inspirational stuff.

[@chrishomer]

I don’t think there are many of us 🤣

[@TheOutdoorswithTonyNoble]

Another belter - always a good day when one of your films pop up 👍👍 - Interesting to see you using the go pro for timelapses...I use my osmo action for the same and I'm always impressed with the quality it produces...Cheers Chris! T🙂

[@chrishomer]

Hi mate and thanks. Honestly though I don’t think I’ll use it again, quality fell short a lot for what I need. Leaves me with a bit of a dilemma because I’d usually just use my main body but I’m quite liking making KZbin videos now and can’t do both. Gonna have to buy a 2nd body I think.

[@TheOutdoorswithTonyNoble]

@@chrishomer tbh...I'd use the m6 for timelapse too...its just I can't run it whilst it's plugged into the powerbank which obviously limits the nightlapses...😡😡

[@CottonBud]

I’m partial to the old bacon Creat Whunchies n’all. As if you take a slider up a Snowdonium - that’s the kind of mentalist effort that sets your vids apart you see. Timelapses are by very nature a patient punt I suppose and you can’t win them all. But how the hell do you change the battery without wobbling the tripod and spoiling the shot? Anyway, great to see you having genuine time to chill Chris. Another corker 👍

[@chrishomer]

Just by cutting the tape very gently. I’d use a longer lead but wanted to avoid the volt drop possibility. Slider was a faff yes, but wanted some shots in my portfolio, and made for a few nice scenes in the YT vid I thought, caused havoc with the sound quality though

[@bimblingbackpacker7379]

Enjoyable as always Thankyou. Great views. Just doing my first video on editing suite and bloody hell it’s hard with soo much to think about if you are not used to it. 👌🏻👍🏻

[@chrishomer]

Nice! A video you be posting to KZbin or not?

[@bimblingbackpacker7379]

Just have done and it looks awful much to learn , think it has to buffer a bit for quality. I get the idea and wanted to see how it came out. I think careful story planning will make editing easier. Just used a drone and my iPhone 👍🏻

[@chrishomer]

@@bimblingbackpacker7379 well let me know if you think there might be anything I can help with. Seen some great stuff with phone and drone.

[@bimblingbackpacker7379]

Thanks again. It’s uploaded. I found it hard to view the quality on my laptop which is a gaming laptop. Was going to download some more sic and they asked for £15 a month, think I’ll go silent and maybe invest in a good mic for natural sounds. Call nverted it to mp4 @ 2160p which was highest res Movavi gave me.

[@bimblingbackpacker7379]

Converted sorry

[@TheWindyBurrow]

Chris, I'm looking at those Freiesoldaten pants, I'm quite interested, but I see its an asian type measurement. How is the sizing compared to what you'd wear with UK/EU size?

[@chrishomer]

I bought the XXL and they come up fairly snug, I usually buy waist 34-38 and am fairly erm, chunky, big calves, thighs and arse so always struggle. These are nice and stretchy

[@Thebluedocful]

Brilliant mate. Didn’t know that about northerly winds. It’s only going to be a matter of time until your channel explodes with subs, you offer something novel and it’s perfectly executed every time. You should have called your channel ASMR_MSR or something!

[@chrishomer]

Hahaha that’s catchy 🤣 I’ve studied meteorology somewhat, a lot through work but also a bit down at Met office and could bore people to death with it. 🤣 but yes, southerly winds tend to be warmer obviously, at night the ground cools quickly and those warm southerlys tend to rise and the wind speed near the ground eases. Northerly winds don’t benefit anywhere near as much from the cooling ground temperatures, even in some cases they get worse, as any opposing strength from distant southerly rises and the northerly can now fill the gap and sometimes increase in speed at low levels. More subs would be nice, I love making them and it’s great knowing people view, enjoy or find them useful etc. Although I’ve been banned so much from pretty much every social media platform in the past I think I’ve now been black listed or shadow banned or something 🤣 FB, Twitter, IG, been suspended from all. Only 1 YT strike, but I’m definitely not on the good list.

[@Thebluedocful]

@@chrishomer Thanks for the info Chris. Much appreciated. The subs will come, will just need a touch of time for the algorithms to work etc. There are hundreds of UK hiking / wild camping vloggers, and most are the same. For me, I subscribe to only a handful now, the ones that offer something a little unique. I've never not enjoyed one of your videos. Surprised that you've been banned! I'm curious, but I won't ask why!

[@chrishomer]

Hahaha, just short suspensions, for sharing controversial stuff. And the YT issues for “suggestions of nudity” while skinny dipping 🤣

[@OutdoorsmanDave]

Cracking effort for the Timelapse capture 👏Why is your gas canister taped?

[@chrishomer]

To remove branding, avoid wind chill, and stop rattling when walking
