Such a positive guy. He really knows how to lift the spirits

[@patrickdickinson6492]

Always love on the positive side, always done it.. thanks Pat

[@monsignorkukulski4633]

[@byteme9718]

And drink them! 😂

[@thomasmitchell8002]

It's all about decision making , being flexible and working with the prevailing conditions at any given time.That's why your camps are always so successful and entertaining Pat. You are a noble ambassador for all that is so inspirational about embracing the great outdoors. Thanks for continuing to pass on your experience and wisdom. Good health !

[@patrickdickinson6492]

Yes agree there Thomas, all part of the fun and challenge of wild camping......all the best Pat

[@MrQuakeroat]

Yes. I was going to say there are three essential elements that Patrick has demonstrated are needed for a successful wild camp: experience, planning and the right kit. But you've nailed another, which is intelligence.

[@martinholmes100]

Hi Pat. No-one can ever accuse you of being a fair-weather camper!

[@patrickdickinson6492]

No, love a bit of rain, just not 16 hours....thanks Pat

[@martinwarner1178]

Pat Dickinson, we love your videos, we love your attitude to life, we love you! Brilliant! Peace be unto you Brother.

[@patrickdickinson6492]

Thank you Martin really nice of you to say...... thanks Pat

[@GertsGhouls]

Good on ya Pat for getting out whatever the weather, you're inspiring. Look forward to a Christmas bevvie with you next month. Leanne & J. X

[@patrickdickinson6492]

Thanks L:eanne, a bit of a wet one, but still so enjoyable.....see you in the pub shed, drink in hand....all the best Pat

[@NorthEastTrailRunner]

A great video Pat. I absolutely love sitting in a tent when it's raining.

[@patrickdickinson6492]

In the tent in the rain is a pure pleasure, walking through wet heather in it, is not...... all the best Pat

[@richardborrell443]

Joy! Patrick takes us camping again. I enjoyed the expansive list of positives stated about camping in such conditions. I am sure "testing your equipment is important to many people but, I think your end-conclusion that it is "what camping is all about" is spot on. Thank you.

[@patrickdickinson6492]

Thank you Richard, there are always positives, in everything we do, sometimes difficult to find them.... thanks Pat 😊

[@craiggill8444]

Absolutely brilliant again pat. It's interesting that you thought about the satellite tracker, because you camp alone, safety is paramount.!!!! Maybe it could be a Christmas present from your family.? Take care pat, and looking forward to the meeting in the pub shed. 🙏👌😀

[@patrickdickinson6492]

I have thought about the tracker for a while, but couple of time had to move, so time to act.... thanks Pat

[@rain-bender4712]

I bet the drive home feels really relaxing after that long walk carrying the rucksack. Great videos mate. This is how people should be living their lives - doing things. So many people do nothing but watch tv.

[@martinwarner1178]

They should dump the MSM voice, mix with their fellow man. Peace be unto you.

[@patrickdickinson6492]

Yes very good feeling driving home, great time, got all my footage, and planning the next trip.... thanks Pat

[@markbuttery2790]

Thanks Pat another great video.Your mental strength , separates the men from the boys.

[@patrickdickinson6492]

Hi Mark, yes alot of what we do in our lives, is ruled by what goes on in your head...... thanks Pat 👍

[@richie152]

Oh Patrick what a fab upload. Your stamina and tenacity are immeasurable to say the least. What a fella. I really enjoyed watching this and ALL your uploads actually. Stay safe, stay well. Best regards from Richard:-)

[@patrickdickinson6492]

Glad you enjoyed it Richard, a bit wet, but anytime in the tent is a good time......thanks Pat

[@iangpark]

Can't argue with you on the driving front Pat - I've only had my license for 6 years but have bumped obstacles countless times, rolled and wrote off a company car and T-boned my first car at a roundabout. Happy to say nearly 2 years in now with no big accidents again.

[@patrickdickinson6492]

Haha, you sound like m in my younger days, Twi write offs in the first 5 years and 3 endorsements, a endorsement was like the 3 points we have now, it slowed me down a bit, then we found by going abroad we could drive like lunatics again, stay safe, all the best Pat

[@TheCoopdway]

Pat, your wildcamps Always make me feel better, appreciate your sharing of all your effort and joy!

[@patrickdickinson6492]

That's really great to hear, and great having you along on my adventures.... thanks Pat

[@thomas.m.d]

The sound of rain is so relaxing even on you tube .must be even better live Patrick.what a sound rain is 😊❤

[@patrickdickinson6492]

The sounds nice, but not the wet gear, and drying and cleaning......thanks Pat

[@sorahilly11]

Fantastic video as always Pat. I love the sound of rain on a tent. I'm really looking forward to your Christmas special from the pub shed. By the way, I really liked the driving scenes, the countryside is beautiful, even at this time of year. All the best, Shane

[@patrickdickinson6492]

Hi Shane, thanks for that, driving has got me into alot of bother, but alway love a bomb round....see you in the pub in December...... thanks Pat

[@dianehodson2980]

Nice camp Patrick good to see you on KZbin xxx

[@patrickdickinson6492]

Thanks Diana, great to chat to everyone..... thanks Pat

[@stevelewis2378]

The worst exercise I ever did, when in the army, was only a 3-day exercise in the woods of Farnborough, UK in 1976. It wasn't cold, but it rained for those 3 days, non-stop. All of our equipment and spare clothing was soaking wet. We slept in shell scrapes which filled with water overnight. It was awful. My hands were painful because the skin around my nails was peeling and red raw due to being constantly wet. I did many longer exercises after that, but that one will never leave my memory. We were all so miserable.

[@r.b8129]

Steve I was there too.

[@patrickdickinson6492]

Yes Steve the rain gets everywhere, including one of my cameras, glad it was just a overnighter, then back home to dry out.... thanks Pat

[@NeilBates-k3t]

My friend I have no doubt that this built your character

[@124Outdoor]

The worst exercise…. Main battle camp, Sennybridge, Jan/Feb 1984. The horror! 🥶

[@mokpot]

How fortunate you are to have such awesome places so near to home! Including that awesome Pub Shed

[@patrickdickinson6492]

Yes we do sometimes take it for granted..... thanks Pat

[@trishbuc3435]

Thank you for yet another wonderful adventure Pat. I'm glad you decided against venturing further up. You definitely teach us about making the safest choices. We can't wait to see you in your pub. Happy days.x

[@patrickdickinson6492]

Yes would of been risky to carry on, can be difficult at to change your plans, glad I did....... thanks Pat 👍

[@allandudson9684]

Thanks for the video Pat. I'm 52 and I wished I could do half as much as you. In the rain, the best positive is to have shelter. In second place is your fine whiskey. Best of luck to you. Loved the white knuckle ride in your car at the start...

[@patrickdickinson6492]

Just a matter of deciding what you want, and then just go for it....... thanks Pat 👍

[@MrDazP1adv3ntures]

Brilliant stuff yet again Patrick, Your sense of humour and practical knowledge of this great hobby shone through again.. Who needs other channels (who are classed as "influencers" by their own volition) when we've got our very own PD with a proper personality for KZbin

[@patrickdickinson6492]

Really nice comments which I do appreciate so much.... all the best Pat

[@jimwulstan8592]

Rain, hail or shine, it’s always good to see Patrick bac on KZbin. That tent looks like just the job for Winter weather camping with a bit of added security. With all the new dangled drill bits available it’s easy to make a table lamp out of those ‘solid’ whisky bottles.

[@patrickdickinson6492]

Thanks Jim, yes happy I had the Soulo, a feeling of safe and secure really helps..... thanks Pat

[@billabongoneill]

Hi Patrick,Thank you for including the car footage, I used to cycle that route from Shirecliffe to Derwent dam in the 1960s it was an easy ride out downhill but was a nightmare to get back, the bit past Strines was hard going lol.

[@patrickdickinson6492]

I could imagine, so easy in a car, I could imagine you were all alot stronger and fitter back then..... thanks Pat

[@harthil100]

By eck Pat it wazzed it down on that one! Good decision on not going up top! Another great video looking forward to the "Christmas Special"

[@patrickdickinson6492]

Thanks 👍

[@AnnasBurningCuriosity]

This was incredible! Thank you for taking us along on your discoveries. Can't wait for the next one!

[@patrickdickinson6492]

Great to have you along Annas....... thanks Pat

[@jonm9501]

Just a pure joy to watch, your enthusiasm and positivity is infectious. You do make me laugh with your whiskeys… “I’ve got to do one more to get the full experience” 🤣. Classic! All the best.

[@patrickdickinson6492]

Got to have some laughter, even on a wet camp like this, and with such a great area just feel so lucky to be able to roam about these beautiful hills..... thanks Pat

[@jonm9501]

@@patrickdickinson6492 always a pleasurable watch! Is it possible to do any camps not far from Barnsley? Went to university there so have a soft spot for the place.

[@anicegal]

Love your adventures Pat, many reasons to be grateful, a privilage to be able to do it.

[@patrickdickinson6492]

Yes a real privilege to be able to roam these beautiful places..... thanks Pat

[@AnthonyJohnson1]

Ive been hiking around there and over to Crow Stones today in glorious weather that would have been perfect for a camp. Something very soothing about listening to the rain bouncing off the tent though knowing you’re nice and toasty in the sleeping bag

[@patrickdickinson6492]

Lovely area to hike with some fantastic views down the Derwent Valley, Crow Stones is somewhere I want to camp, may save it for winter as it seems a popular spot……….thanks Pat

[@andrewpartington8642]

Pat, this was brilliant! On your drive I swear to God it felt like I was sat next to Colin McRae on a Rally stage 😂 Please take care X I thought I would let you know, both of your favourite Glenfiddich's are on offer in Morrison's right now 😊👍

I love driving, not with the wife though, flat out, radio on full blast and I,m 20 again, it has given me a few ideas for the pub shed and a bit of remannicing....thanks Pat

[@johnnymacf1]

​@@patrickdickinson6492 what happened to the motorbike Pat?

[@chris-cole]

What a cracking video! Quite the test to push yourself to go out in thst kinda weather and it's all in the name of testing your gear and yourself. Kudos!! Really enjoy watching these videos Pat 👍

[@patrickdickinson6492]

Hi Chris, yes I,very found out Bleaklow lives up to its reputation, wild and wet, but perhaps that’s its attraction….many more camps planned in this area…….thanks Pat

[@Dr.D00p]

My tolerance for wet weather camping is pretty low these days...its just so insidious, no matter what you do, the wet always wins and makes things miserable. Wearing waterproofs is pointless when hiking and lugging a heavy backpack, as I just get get drenched from within by sweating, no matter how 'breathable' the jacket is supposed to be. I don't mind freezing cold as long as its dry, I don't mind baking hot and sweating, as at least I can get stuff dry at the end of the day...but cold & wet, its just the worst possible weather for anything & everything.

[@patrickdickinson6492]

Yes not the best coditions, but still provided a few challenges, and worked out fine in the end.....thanks Pat

[@loadzofhobbies4219]

Cheer up mate.

[@Ben-ks5bm]

Totally correct mate, anyone whom says they enjoy it is a liar, it’s a miserable affair.

[@jim1380]

Shorts and fast drying footwear is the way forward unless its icy cold, your feet and legs will stay warm with movement and dry off faster when resting. Plus you wont sweat as much. Also always have a micro towel, and change of clothes in a dry sack for when your tent is up. Alternatively, you can move to a hot weather country 🤪👍🤞

Pat, The first couple of minutes of the video I thought I was on the Lombard Rally ! Upon your recommendation from a few months ago, I went to Tesco’s and purchased the Aberlour whisky, we just didn’t like it, and ended up giving it away, each to their own Pat. 👍🏻🥃

Proof that camping really can be an all-weather activity if you have the right mindset. I'd rather have experienced that rainy night out than missed out on an adventure, and you definitely help to spread the 'safety' message in this video. Here's to the pub shed video Pat - all the best. 🙂

[@patrickdickinson6492]

Yes rain just adds another dimension to these amazing adventures.... thanks Pat

[@bushcraftandastronomer.3775]

Hi Patrick great driving as I was in back seat enjoying the scenery while you were driving! Nice area and the weather wasn't good but being in tent listening to the rain hitting the tent is an awesome sound. It's better when it rains when your about to go to sleep and sound relaxes you! Great little spot to camp and possitive things for me when it's raining is sound of rain hitting tent. Your not going to get wet in tent too. Plus when rain stops you could go out side . I've heard of whisky but never tried it. Maybe just maybe try it with irn bru. I'm always looking into lightweight food when camping. Hope you enjoyed this wild camp even though it rained. Every wild camp is different! Looking forward to next video and take care!

[@patrickdickinson6492]

Yes, the rear seat might of been the best place, haha. The weather was awful, but the camp was still enjoyable, even if a bit challenging at times, because it was raining then shelter, and food became much more important, and then once safe in the tent.....just enjoyable again, helped with a few whisky's....... thanks Pat

[@garynesbitt5078]

Hi Pat. You are so right. Different camps, different weather and new experiences. I’ve been camping for 20 odd years and I still learn something new every time and make great memories. Great to test your gear and get confidence that it won’t let you down if you get caught out. Thanks for sharing. Gary

[@patrickdickinson6492]

Hi Gary my thoughts exactly each camp I learn something new or have different ideas, part of the attraction..... thanks Pat

[@edpotter3833]

Another great video Patrick. I look forward to your next one. You are so right about what people say about going out in all weathers. I’m the same and go out whatever the weather as it’s already planned. I’m pleased that the tent held up to the weather too as it’s a tent that I keep looking it. Thanks again for a great video.

[@patrickdickinson6492]

Hi Ed, yes once it's on the calender then I,am going no matter what, would be a bit boring if it was always nice fine weather. Been very pleased with Soulo, gives you that added security, might be a little heavy, but for me that's strength..... thanks Pat

Santa kindly brought me some Aberlour malt and you're right, it's very nice indeed. He also brought me some Talisker Storm single malt from the Isle of Skye. I don't know if you like the Island whiskys but this is a delicious peaty one with the taste of the sea. All the best for 2023.

A very nice whisky, and very kind of Santa to bring you a bottle, love the sherry influence, as for Skye whiskys, I,am not too keen on the peaty and smokey ones, I did have a bottle of Talisker , and took me a year to drink it, some many great whiskys out there..... all the best Pat 😊

Pat you are a trooper, i seen you camp up trees ,on sides of rocky outcrops, and up mountains, I wish i could do just half that at your age, and i did rather enjoy the trip up the road in your car, telling us how you wrote off yer car when you was a lad, we all been there i think. great Video, miserable weather, however i find the rain very relaxing, Thank you .

[@patrickdickinson6492]

Yep great camp, and great drive........ all the best Pat

Loved the video Pat as always..looked hard going.

Thanks Mal, set my sights on Crow Stones and accepted I had a hard trek, the weather did make it tougher, but once original camp was abandoned, then easy walking, although the constant rain was avery uncomfortable, once in the tent with my whisky as a companion, everything was fine...... thanks Pat.
