[@vreetech]

Came for the camping, stayed for the food. Loving the videos Patrick, keep it up.

[@patrickdickinson6492]

vreetech Hi yes camping and great food go together, thanks for the comments, Pat

[@MrOvlov]

Only just found your videos and I’m hooked. Binge watching! Thanks for sharing your camp outs 👍

[@patrickdickinson6492]

Hope you enjoy them thanks Pat

[@philnewman1110]

Your certainly a hardened camper Pat, I took the wife camping in March one year, it was almost the end of a beautiful relationship. Cold wasn’t a word I would have used to describe it, it was bloody freezing! Well done, I really enjoy the videos!

[@patrickdickinson6492]

Hi Phil, even though it was winter I felt very warm and cosy, the bivvy bag really warms up quick, especially with a hot water bottle, thanks Pat

You know the business Pat. The Captain of camping. Keep 'em coming Sir Pat Dickinson. Our No.1 wild camper....The World over. Peace be unto you..

[@patrickdickinson6492]

Very kind Ian, I do love making these videos, keeps me active and alive, thanks Pat

[@thewestonfront]

You are certainly not mad Pat. You are following your dreams without the restrictions of the expectations of others. I know for me it's a great way to reset my mental health. The time will come when more people realise that our connection to nature is an essential to our well-being.

[@patrickdickinson6492]

Yes such a great place to recharge your batteries, looking forward to returning to these amazing places soon, thanks Pat

Hi Spencer yes I would say just get out and have ago nothing to lose and the opportunity to have a great adventure even if out not far from home just for one night its still a adventure especially in the winter and snow, all the best Pat

Hi Lee great location and the bivvy was surprisingly warm, only a small area to heat up, all the best Pay

Fantastic video, thanks for taking the time and making the effort to share. Came here because I'm researching the Rab Ridge Raider (been bivying for years in a Rab Ascent and looking to upgrade) but really enjoyed seeing your approach to food as well as your thoughts before bed (and I wholeheartedly agree). Cheers Patrick!

[@patrickdickinson6492]

[@conorwildadventures277]

great video Patrick. looking forward to more.

[@CragScrambler]

13:45 I hear you Marra, I feel the same way and get the same reactions from friends when I say I'm going camping in such weather. But I agree with the adventure aspect of it, I've always been an outdoors person since being introduced to it at Junior school, I live in the lakes and so its part of my heritage and it's simply one of my great loves in life, to simply be out there, alone or with friends. Thanks for sharing your trips with us.

[@patrickdickinson6492]

Thanks for the comments appreciate them, yes there is nothing like a wildcamp to make you appreciate your home comforts and give you a bit of adventure, which is sometimes lacking in normal day to day life, all the best Pat

[@billyjeavons]

I love Stanage. As a younger man I did a bit of climbing there. I was never good enough for the famous hard routes but I did do my SPA assessment there. I might have to return for a camp. Thanks for sharing pal.

Hi Billy yes me the same love it up there and its only 5 miles or so from where I live, feel so lucky, all the best Pat

[@patrickdickinson6492]

Many thanks!...... your very welcome, Pat

[@mohartley3736]

great patrick....afew years ago .i walked the ridgeway long distance path in march....with reletively cheap and basic kit...my feet were the only casualty as far as the cold was concerned..nowt serious i might add...the cooking aspectof your adventure i thought was excellent...beats noodles which seems to be the food of choice from what ive seen !!! keep up the good work....mo..(wilts)

[@patrickdickinson6492]

Hi Mo thought I had replied but appears not, The Ridgeway sounds a fantastic walk with all the ancient history. stone circles and horses, must do it one day. I love the idea of creating a meals just as good as at home but in the wilds with limited cooking facilities, and its surprising what you can produce with a bit of forward planning, all the best Pat

[@robfearonphotographyhillwa9583]

Hi Patrick great videos watched a few now, discovered this channel about a week ago great stuff! Just bought my first wild camp got an Akto looks great got a camp planned for about two weeks time in Snowdonia really looking forward to it, keep on with the videos great content mate thank you 😊

[@patrickdickinson6492]

Hi Rob, great lightweight tent you got there, I had a Akto for a few years, only changed it to get a bit more room, thanks Pat

What a wonderful educational video this is Patrick, thank you for sharing your knowledge and adventures. I'm just getting into the outdoors and find your videos very inspiring, again thank you Dr Paul.

[@patrickdickinson6492]

DrTeno Guy Hi and thanks for comments, once you get into wild camping then you will never be short of adventures, hope all works out, Pat

[@gordonmonaghan133]

Hi Patrick! I have watched several of your videos now and have enjoyed them all, but this is the first time I have felt compelled to make a comment. I agree with your sentiments exactly about wild camping; the excitement from it (a sort of subdued thrill) along with the planning make it all so much fun. You keep going for it my friend. A useful tip(or not); In the cooler months I take a Zippo style hand warmer, which I stuff at the bottom of my sleeping bag. This emits a slowly released heat that can last for anything up to 12 hours.

[@patrickdickinson6492]

Hi Gordon, yes you can ,t beat a wild camp for the feeling of adventure and the challenge. Like you say the planning side of a camp is also so interesting thinking of different locations, food options etc, I always like to have a camp to look forward to. Zippo style hand warmer a good idea, will try it, although for cold conditions you can ,t beat a hot water bottle. Thanks for your comments Gordon all the best Pat

[@TheKevcarp]

Great video Patrick. I agree with your sentiments exactly.

[@patrickdickinson6492]

+TheKevcarp Hi there I think sometimes you have to just get on try these things even if you are a bit wary. I thought I would of been cold but far from it I was really too hot and slept with the door half open most of the night. Each camp gives me more confidence to try somewhere more remote or higher up. Thanks for watching all the best Pat

Excellent and very encouraging.

Great overnight trip and the food looked spot on mate 👍. I've just bought a Dutch army hooped bivi to take with me on my next overnight camp, never used one before so really looking forward to giving it a try. Thanks for sharing. Atb

[@patrickdickinson6492]

+Jeff Alfresco Hi Jeff if your looking for a easy and exciting way to spend a night on the hills you,ve bought the right piece of kit.lightweight to carry and easy and quick to set up, a bit tougher but more of a adventure in winter months but comes into its own as weather warms up. I wish you well with your next bivvy camp thanks Pat

[@chalk6761]

Hey Patrick..recently started watching your videos... must say that i am inspired by your relaxed attitude to camping out. Great touch aswell with the homely food...makes mealtimes more enjoyable...thanks for the tips! steve the chalk ..Kent.

[@patrickdickinson6492]

Hi Steve, I like to get away from stresses of modern life and sleeping out in the wilds certainly refreshes me, and some nice food as well, thanks for comments and watching Pat

[@agentbertram4769]

Your camping kit is well thought out Patrick. I always went for gel-fuel in my Trangia. It seemed to work even down at below-zero temperatures. I built my own log house up here in Argyll. For insulation we used a 40-layer reflective quilt. Some years ago I came across my old tent in the steel container that we used to store two households of stuff... (Now the house is finished, my stuff is still in there). So, one spring day, I thought I'd try the insulation as a ground sheet. It's very bulky so not for backpacking. But it'd be OK for car camping. 20minutes into a may night I gave up. The midges were taking me down in double quick time. Yikes!

[@patrickdickinson6492]

Hi yes that insulation just the right stuff to sleep on, bit bulky fo wildcamping, but like you say fine for car camping. Sounds a nice spot you have in Argyll, all the best Pat

[@bandgeeklee82]

Great video mate! Please keep them coming 👍🏻

[@patrickdickinson6492]

[@davidberlanny3308]

I bet that curry was good and then the bacon in the morning. What a great adventure and well filmed!!

[@patrickdickinson6492]

Yes the food made this video, that's what it was about.....Pat

[@canopus101]

Like you I don't usually sleep a lot but all this year I have taken a little cube shaped bluetooth speaker and a cheap mp3 player. I have found this combination superb, you can play music or podcasts, the batteries last (apparently) 45 hours but can confirm that it lasts a whole weekend away. Combined with a book (this year Hornblower stories by C.S Forrester) I found I get sleepy and get off to sleep easily. By the way, good scran, Pataks sauce, chicken, onions, garlic and spuds is top stuff. Try it with bannock bread - yum yum.

[@patrickdickinson6492]

Hi yes just being in the tent out in the wilds is a great feeling on its own but a bit of music etc adds to it sounds like a good set up you have. and of course a nice warm filling meal really makes the camp enjoyable, thanks for comments Pat

[@AndyWardle]

Great video and a great trip. Loved the cooking lessons. I might have to try to rustle up a nice balti. The rab bivi looked great. Nice and snug. All in all another great adventure. Your dead right about that. Take care. Look forward to the next one. Atb.

[@patrickdickinson6492]

+Andy “RAINMAN” Wardle Hi Andy I was lucky with the weather and it did not rain. The bivi was really warm a bit too warm in fact, I had too much clothing on or it was the effects of the curry. Thanks for watching and all the best for your camping trips Pat

[@Markwildcamp]

great vid and cookery lesson Patrick, a brave man on curry in such a small space.

What an exceptional camp site. After those equally exceptional meals you prepared, your backpack must have been a lot lighter on the walk out. Nice display here of bivy camping.

[@patrickdickinson6492]

+Random Button Pusher Hi the campsite was a great spot protected from the wind and rain, it could of been a bit more remote as walkers were only 400m away and due to the quiet and stillness you could hear voices as people walked by so clearly. As I was not too far from home I carried a lot of extra food and was glad when I arrived at the campsite, much easier when I walked home the next day with a lighter pack. All the best Pat

Hi pat thanks for the videos they are very interesting keep up the good work. You've inspired us to take a camping trip next weekend in the Peak District. Could you recommend some good walks suitable for children. All the best Chris Norris.

[@patrickdickinson6492]

+Chris Norris Hi Chris you,ve picked a great place to camp and go walking, so many walking area,s to choose .the edges like Stanege, Froggatt, Curbar are all pretty level and well marked there safe for children as long as you keep a eye on them as some vertical drops at the edges ,very popular with climbers. The Great Ridge is a spectacular walk from Mam Tor to loose Hill at around 500 meters great views, you can do it the easy way by parking at Mam Nick car park and only 15-minute walk to top of Mam Tor popular for school trips. For easy walking park at Chatsworth house, our jewel in the Peak District only £3-00 all day plenty of level walking by the Derwent river and area around Chatsworth, if your feeling rich take your children to the Adventure Playground they will love it. For real walking and adventure there are Kinder Scout and Bleaklow at 600 meters, compass and map essential.This is just a few places google these for more info. Hope you enjoy your trip Thanks Pat

It is always a pleasure to watch your videos. I to hope you keep doing this for many years :) Thanks - Martin

[@patrickdickinson6492]

+NorwegianWoods Hi Martin the camp was very enjoyable and yes I hope to be doing this for many years. I,am very envious of the snow you get as camping in the snow just makes for a greater adventure. Up to now we have had very little snow and may not get any more this winter All the best Pat

[@NorwegianWoods]

The snow and the cold certainly makes the adventure more challenging. We don't get as much snow as we used to in my part of Norway. I think every part of the world has its own unique thing that makes it special. - Martin

Have you tried those breakfast in a can yet by hunger breaks. Tesco & morrisons sell them. Got one to try in my rucksack at the moment for a wild camp next weekend. That and a can of big soup in the evening plus some fresh rolls. I like the idea of cooking a full meal like this though, will try it one day if I can find the space lol. Might have to upgrade to a 120l bergen

Be interested in those meals sounds very convienent. Although I do love cooking my own food, all the best Pat

Great little adventure Pat’. Most people will never understand why we do this sort of thing. Well done for not just being a fair weather adventurer, and also for not using ration pack food! Hope to see some more of your outings.🏕

Great video, but can you please tell me what your windshield is made from. It looks like a flat foil roasting tray.

Hi Pat. You’ve probably been asked this before, but what’s that device you use as a wind block to your stove when you are cooking? Thanks. Richard.

[@patrickdickinson6492]

ridmavor Hi Richard it's just a thick foil bought from a camping shop, it rolls up and when in position you can anchor it to the ground with 3 tent pegs, ho0e helpful Pat
