Only recently “discovered” your channel and just love it. The drone footage and accompanying music were fantastic. Sadly, I never discovered wild camping when I was young and fit and now I physically struggle to walk a mile - so definitely please keep encouraging people to get out there, clear their heads and enjoy it all whilst they can. In the meantime, I’m getting to see the fantastic countryside and benefit from your good spirits whatever the weather throws at you and Blue. Thank you.

[@BUSHMANandBLUE]

Thanks Kate. Yes it’s a good message to use your body whilst it works well. Do what you can 😊

[@amc3]

Your dog is an absolute joy, keen, enthusiastic, incredibly well trained and totally loyal. Great set up for both of you, he is the perfect travel companion.

[@BUSHMANandBLUE]

He is perfect for me👍

[@domo3552]

2yrs out of date? That's nothing pal! When my mum downsized from a 3 bedroom house to a 1 bed retirement apartment, I helped her sell, recycle, auction or chuck her excess possessions, and she still was argumentative about binning a jar of chutney with a sell by date of July 1985.. 33 years past it's sell by date! 😝

[@BUSHMANandBLUE]

😂😂😂 just like my mum. I love it! Real women👌

[@befree5641]

Sir. You are a legend. Your video’s are so so pleasing to watch.

[@BUSHMANandBLUE]

Thanks buddy. Even when stuck in a tent 😂

[@emilyjohnson3001]

This video is very calming and the content is refreshing, nice change

[@Quid2005]

Truly therapeutic, indeed! Had to smile at the “dodge the raindrops” comment- one of my mom’s favorite as she sent us out of the house. It was my dad that taught my outdoor skills and I remember being stuck in the tent for days as we waited for flood waters to recede. He laid out the topo map and made up a survival board game; with a map, compass, handful of rocks, a die made of mud,, and imaginary scenarios, he taught me navigation and orienteering disguised as quests for lost hikers, buried treasure, and survival. Thanks for the memories!

[@BUSHMANandBLUE]

What a legend! Amazing memories from an amazing person. 👌

[@kevinkilcoyne1557]

As far as I'm concerned it's all about you, blue and the view, a completely realistic camping adventure again, no one does it better, No.1!!

[@BUSHMANandBLUE]

Thanks buddy much appreciated.👊

[@cynthiagibson6793]

It's obvious that Blue trusts,idolizes, loves ❤️ and adores you more than anything in the world 🌎

[@BUSHMANandBLUE]

We are a team🥰

[@paposeco06]

I wish I was stuck 16h in a tent, raining. Don't be afraid to slow down. It's an important life lesson too. 👍

[@BUSHMANandBLUE]

Yes I totally agree. People spend too much time moving and not appreciating where they are presently 👊

[@jimmyfish5388]

Still far better than anything on tv. You and blue are so enjoyable to watch even though you were tentbound for so many hours. Keep up the great content.

[@BUSHMANandBLUE]

Cheers jimmy much appreciated 👊

[@MattGriffiths81]

Crazy how fast your core temp can change when you start climbing. Not so sure about the 'boring content'. I actually quite like sitting in a tent listening to the rain whilst I'm warm and eating inside, and I quite enjoy watching it too. Feels almost like I'm chilling alongside you, and it's nice to listen to ramblings. Can imagine it's semi-therapeutic for you too, getting to sit there and voice everything that's going round your head. Until next time ❤️

[@BUSHMANandBLUE]

Yes it is nice to be able to share those times even in the bad weather. I’m glad people get a feeling if the adventure even through a screen. Thanks bud 👊

[@thechanneloffun3760]

🥰🥰 your mum sounds amazing kind and a beatiful person 🥰🥰

[@BUSHMANandBLUE]

She definitely is😊🥰

[@irenejoseph9547]

I love your aerial views set to the most beautiful music. I watched this while sitting on my patio in sweltering heat for a late May Memorial Day in the Smoky Mountains. I envied the chilly weather and even the precipitation. But the weather here will change soon enough. Hoping for a nice Tau Herculids meteor storm later tonight/early morning but I will probably sleep thought it all. Glad you and Blue had an adventure to share with us even if it did rain most of the time. The location is absolutely beautiful even with the rain. Stay safe and take us along for future adventures. We are ready to go!!!!

[@BUSHMANandBLUE]

Thanks Irene. I hope you got to see the meteor shower. I always enjoy the adventures whatever the weather👍

[@robertaprince180]

Wonderful video, i love the rain too. Stay safe and pat Blue for us all🤗🇨🇦

[@jeffsmith441]

I find it funny when you say boring content. Not sure why, but the videos where you get stuck in bad weather, spending large chunks in the tent, are the most interesting to me. Love the scenery in your vids too, but I really love the idea of sheltering (safely) in a storm. The asmr of the rain or snow on the canvas of the tent is super relaxing too.

[@BUSHMANandBLUE]

Thanks mate greatly appreciated 👊. I guess it shows the reality of some camping adventures

[@liamahern8514]

Another great video Al, loved the drone footage and the sound of the rain on the tent. Always enjoy Blue's company.

[@BUSHMANandBLUE]

Yes I had a few minute get the drone out and at least show the area a little. Thanks buddy 👊

[@mikeysoft7]

Very enjoyable video. I found Sprinkling tarn to be a sublime place, so quiet at times where the only sound you can hear is your own heartbeat. Nestled between Great Gable and Great End, its a pretty great place too. Really well put together, showing an all too true view of camping like it is. 😊

[@BUSHMANandBLUE]

That whole area is beautiful and the best in the lakes for me. Definitely showing the real camping experience in the rain😂

[@stevebaker9341]

What a great video! Love how you can make light of being tent bound for all that amount of time and still enjoy yourself....brilliant 🙌

[@BUSHMANandBLUE]

Well it’s better than being at home… and I love my home 😊

[@rich.cresswell]

The one thing you learn when on a solo trip, is being very happy with your own company. The content was great mate. Way better than being stuck on tarmac... Welcome to England folks (rain, rain rain rain rain) Bloody love it.

[@BUSHMANandBLUE]

Definitely an important part of happiness loving and appreciation of your own company👍👍👍

[@jennyleef1775]

Winter has just started here in Australia and it's been raining non-stop so far which I love. I just need to find a day or two to get away camping as there is nothing better than listening to the sound of rain on a tent. I love looking at the scenery you constantly show in your videos.

[@BUSHMANandBLUE]

Definitely get yourself out there and enjoy the weather whatever is thrown at you😉👍

[@julieplumb3427]

Rain on the tent will never be boring😁❤️

[@BUSHMANandBLUE]

I agree. Nostalgic 😊

[@bluwtrgypsy]

Always a pleasure - sun, rain, or snow. Your happy attitude is such a treat. Thank you. Blessings

[@BUSHMANandBLUE]

I just enjoy being out in it all😬😬😬

[@maggiemitchell4359]

Loved the drone footage and the music you chose, thanks for sharing : )

[@BUSHMANandBLUE]

Thanks Maggie 😬

[@steuk26]

Another great video Al, brought back some good memories from a couple of years ago when I was up there wild camping on the hill above the tarn overlooking the valley down towards Seathwaite on one side and the tarn on my other. After watching your vids, I'm getting the bug now to camp out in some wet and eventually cold weather.

[@BUSHMANandBLUE]

I’m sure you’ll be out there enjoying whatever the weather will throw at you. 😉

[@julienolan5022]

I love to hear the pitter patter of rain on a tent it's quite calming , it certainly doesn't seem to bother blue he looked pretty content & great drone footage the next morning I hope you enjoyed that breakfast treat.

[@BUSHMANandBLUE]

Yes we both like it as we both like a crackling fire too😊

[@stevenkreitlow8349]

You do go to some truly remarkable and scenic places. I love being in a tent ⛺️ in the rain. I’ll camp out in a very small wooded patch at the back of my yard if rain or snow ❄️ is in the forecast. Seems the some other people think like you and got out there. Blue is a really amazing dog. Another good one. Thanks! 👍😉

[@BUSHMANandBLUE]

Thanks Steve. I like to show off these places as many never get to see them 😬

[@rockabillycatz]

That’s what you call camping in the outdoors,blue is just adorable man’s best friend,I love listening to the rain makes you go asleep,great vid as always take care buddy and blue,👍🐾

[@BUSHMANandBLUE]

Thanks mate. Yes I fall asleep very quickly to the rain. It massages your eardrums. 😉

[@simonman3042]

Aw, you’re such an inspiration.The Lakes, are a special place for mom & I &, you & blue make it an even more appealing place! ❤️

[@BUSHMANandBLUE]

Thanks mate. I think this shows the reality at times there and that people will think twice about what it wear out in the mountains

[@RutherfordTony]

I really liked the video. I love how you are so kind to Blue. That speaks volumes about you.

[@BUSHMANandBLUE]

I love dogs and Blue is definitely special. Thank you my friend 👍

[@thewhofan8020]

Great video Al. That was definitely a soggy one. You got lucky with the tent pitch, so much standing water. I want to thank you for your positivity and encouragement to push myself to finally wild camp. Got 2 camps under my belt over the past 2 weekends. Absolutely loved it. I need to get used to carrying so much weight before I can get up on't mountains though.

[@BUSHMANandBLUE]

Wow brilliant mate! Definitely keep it up and try make the most of the opportunities you get to camp. You’ll be hooked now😉

[@pamtufnell6751]

Waiting for a gallbladder op watching your videos make me feel better

[@BUSHMANandBLUE]

I hope it went well and you are better soon👍

[@tonystrange7224]

Another brilliant video Al. Don’t know if it’s just me but I love the sound of the rain on the tent. Also I carry an iPad mini with me with a couple of downloaded movies on it to help pass the time.

[@BUSHMANandBLUE]

An iPad would have helped😂. It is definitely therapeutic listening to the rain and also nostalgic 😉👍

[@JH-ht2me]

Another great video and very therapeutic as one other comment said. Love the dogo and not boring content at all.

[@BUSHMANandBLUE]

Thank you. I guess it shows the truth about camping not all glorified 👍

[@suedavies2157]

Thank you for sharing another fabulous adventure with us - rain or shine, I'm always envious! And I could watch Blue 'chasing' the drone all day! :)

[@lucy_orangina]

Hi Al, I missed quite few vids from you as I been away. Now I'm stuck home with new friend Covid so I picked this video to entertaining myslef. I choose this one coz when I first time visited Lakes I planned stayed exact where you. So it was really nice to see how it looks like there. Seen you in small tent make me feel think , well I'm on this boat since I wild camp 🤣 living in small tent. I recently got banshee pro200, on very low budget and hell yeah that's small tent for tall people like me...I was living in this tent 15 days so I exact knew how you felt... Anyway Thank you for sharing and boggy grass just remind my recent bad days lakes... Thank you and all the best Lucy

[@BUSHMANandBLUE]

15 days is a long time! Well done. I’ll have to watch the video as I’m sure it’s brilliant as always. Being stuck in a wet tent isn’t too much fun but being out in the wilderness massages the soul 👌👊

[@sinisterbuthappy208]

Great relaxing video ! Rain on a tent is hard to beat !

[@BUSHMANandBLUE]

Yes it always reminds me of the hundreds of times we camped as kids 😊

[@supernoodles908]

I was there a few months ago. Glad I had a strong tent that day. Enjoyed the video as always

[@BUSHMANandBLUE]

Cool place to hang out in better weather😂

[@mjojrjr6231]

Had my first wild camp Mate at Angle tarn last night. It was raining all night right after we pitch, cooked and eat. There was even lightning and thunder, there's about 20 tents I think all over the places and everyone was chill. It was a great experience and will definitely do it again. Thanks for your vlog, it helps me a lot preparing myself to this new level of experience.

[@BUSHMANandBLUE]

Brilliant mate I’m glad it was still a positive even with the bad weather. When it’s good weather you’ll be in dreamland 👌👊

[@takenotice5677]

I’m so glad I’ve come across your channel, camping ain’t really my thing but I love your content I love how you get cosy too, even the small talk is great, you’re one of those people who are just great company even if you think you’re boring lol I also love the bond between you and blue what a beautiful boy! So I’m literally binge watching all your videos old and new and currently can’t get enough!

Great video even if tent bound. I love the sound of rain on a tent, especially when it’s not mine😂 Your scrape on the pot by your long spoon reminded me why I use a wooden spoon 😊

Now that I think of it, I might of just realized you’re one of the few people making these types of videos that doesn’t show putting up their tent. You always show the end result and that’s not a bad or a good thing. I just don’t know why I didn’t realize that until I’ve watched 25 videos.

flippin heck mate, that's the 1st time you have camped in a tarn. that was a damp one for sure and great one indeed.

Keep up the good work Al lad and take care. looking forward to your next adventure.

Wonderful video :)

[@frederickridall628]

Can totally identify with this video having spent many long hours in a tent myself. The Trekker Chair is a game changer for me. In latter years I've started suffering with my back and this simple contraption makes life in the tent so much more comfortable. Use a pee bottle myself. I was careful to choose one strikingly different in colour to the one I drink out of! Always enjoy your videos, Al. Even the less spectacular ones like this. Do you ever use a lightweight bivvy bag to protect your sleeping bag from getting damp? The Alpkit Hunka seems to work well and I've never had any condensation issues.

[@BUSHMANandBLUE]

I often use the Hunka in that way and it definitely helps and protect from the mucky dog too. The trekker chair definitely is worth the money especially in winter camping. Thanks mate👍

Boring Bast*** 🤣🤣, apologies mate its our Northern Humour. Such a humble bloke. I love how you show everything. Some films give the impression that they never get wet and everything inside the tent is dry.

Inspiring as always and the Thermarest chair is a god send. We love ours. Thanks for taking the time and producing great output. Cheers Sel and Tracey.

Yes it's not always sunny lol I've stayed there a cpl times it's definitely a damp and boggy spot but still popular.those over mittens look great think I'll have to get a pair.

[@BUSHMANandBLUE]

I think they are a good shout all year round as they are small enough to carry. Don’t forget the link and 20% discount code BLUE20

What memories. Been wetter from condensation when raining heavy many times

[@BUSHMANandBLUE]

Yes water attacks you from everywhere 😂

[@MrBrianc1975]

I think the word is moist! Great video, good way to start the week. Dosnt look very summery down here in Dorset here today either!

[@BUSHMANandBLUE]

This was actually a few weeks back but since then I’ve had an amazing weekend camping in perfect weather👊

[@Peace.Love.Psychedelics]

Quality video as usual ✌

[@BUSHMANandBLUE]

Cheers buddy 👊

Too funny about your mum. My parents are also wartime children & always stockpiled so much food. I would joke that, come the apocalypse, I was heading for their place. Enough food for 100 years ! My hiking started with my parents; every Sunday, we went hiking in the bush, usually to an abandoned minesite. My mom has since passed away, and my dad lives in a retirement home. Every weekend, I go hiking with Molly the Newf Retriever. And now my son has started backcountry camping with his girlfriend. Great habits to pass from generation to generation. Enjoy the outdoors, live life simply. Thanks for the videos.

[@BUSHMANandBLUE]

That’s lovely passing on that ethos of the outdoors. It’s getting quickly diluted by humans so it needs keeping strong. You always respect your parents for these memories👊 thanks buddy 👍

On the subject of very long periods spent in a ⛺ tent or being bivvy-bound due to persistent rains or long winter ❄️ nights, I have downloaded a load of films onto the memory card of my phone. This allows me a bit of entertainment when I'm stuck in locations without any 3G/4G phone signals. Regarding cooking inside a ⛺ tent during those periods...I never have that problem, because I don't cook hot food or hot drinks while trekking in the mountains or forests, and this saves me carrying all the cooking gear. ( I do however cook hot meals back at my car). I also often fit the sleeping bag inside a goretex cover as this does help keep the bag dry and free of moisture (although I've yet to have rain ever penetrate the Jack 🐺 Wolfskin Gossamer II tent⛺).

[@BUSHMANandBLUE]

It’s definitely easier to not carry and cook but I do love a tea😬. Taking an iPad and watching a film would be a good shout as winter nights can definitely be long! Thanks bud.

[@Globetrotter-1]

@@BUSHMANandBLUE I love a hot coffee, but carry some cans of cold 🍺 beer instead. 😂 I think the hatred of carrying cooking gear stems from my army barmy days of chasing SAS through the Brecons, and decades of living off muesli bars in wilderness regions of the globe 🌍 It does however make that hot beverage and chicken curry back at the parked X5 something to relish.😉

[@BUSHMANandBLUE]

Well it definitely is extra weight to carry which isn’t needed.

[@dustinrobinson58]

Very close to having to use your sleeping pad as a canoe again 😆Shame about the 16 hour tent endurance test.Another adventure ticked off👍

[@BUSHMANandBLUE]

Yes it was definitely a wet one. At least it wasn’t running water😂

[@hikingwiththeshackletons]

I can completely understand what you went through. My first ever wild camp was done on the side of Pike o Blisco and in very similar conditions, I had 50mph winds to deal with as well as the rain, I too was stuck in my tent for 16 hours and it was soul destroying, but it was a very good experience and opportunity to learn from and gain experience (how can I do things better) 😊

[@BUSHMANandBLUE]

Yes definitely although I actually like the time alone to just reflect on life. There will always be bad weather to deal with😂

[@adge_ventures4915]

Well in Al, no signal nights with the rain against the tent are both frustrating and absolutely brilliant! Much better for a recharge though 😊 Hope you and blue are well mate. Adge.

[@BUSHMANandBLUE]

All good mate and yes always brilliant to be out in. Way better than sitting idle at home for me😉👊

[@anthonyjohnson8672]
