SOLO CAMP AFTER HECTIC SCAFELL PIKE SUMMIT - Wild Camping Lake District UK Backpacking

[@maggiebush9846]

I am Allen’s Mum and just want to say I never get bored of watching his videos. Where he got the knack of video making I shall never know but he works so hard making them I just wish more people would appreciate his skills. He was taught from a very young age to keep all his sweet papers etc in his pockets. At least he took that rule to heart and I am very happy that he is keeping the mountains tidy for everyone to enjoy. So parents do the same with your children start from a very early age and it will stick with them too. ❤

[@BUSHMANandBLUE]

I agree mum! Start young and the habits last a lifetime. Thanks for your influence 🥰

[@chrisfisher2568]

i appreciate his skills, great work as always 👌

[@PeterDClack...]

You've created a new force for life and diligence. Allen's is an unstoppable force for good. But what is so wonderful is, he is a living walking talking reminder of the importance of following a course of decency and care for people and places. Well done to you and his dad for turning him out and giving us all a sense that not all the world is falling apart.

[@Lalunabreeze]

Sweet

[@gregfountain675]

Hi Margaret. It's lovely to read your comment after spending so much time chatting with you back in July. Alan's last video showed him lugging a tent and other gear off a mountain, before that he cleaned up Ben nevis' summit shelter, ive seen him untie a balloon off a fence one time and now this 😢. It angers and saddens me that we are in a society now where people behave like this, there are no words really to express it without properly swearing. My theory is they haven't been brought up with morals and respect like Alan and instead they have clearly been dragged up and are so self centered they don't care about anything but themselves so if they spoil the mountain for others, who cares, they're not gonna go back, they were there just on a day trip and won't return so litter won't effect them. Credit lies with Al of course for clearing up other people's crap but a lot lies with you and his father for bringing him up to be that way so thank you. I certainly appreciate his work because without his videos I wouldn't have seen the summit of scafell pike or other places he's been to, I'd still be sat at home. ❤

[@drubber007]

Blue is such a good boy bless him 🥰

[@angelahenry1511]

Remember having a go a walking up scafell pike years ago ...with my two nieces who were sat on some rocks crying cos it was too hard 🤣 we did eventually make it by ' zigzagging! Happy days 🥰

[@BUSHMANandBLUE]

😂😂😂 still great memories formed.

Hi Allen, don’t usually make a habit of commenting on KZbin, but I’ve only just found your channel and wanted to say keep it up and thank you for the videos! I have a dog myself and absolutely love Blue! I’ve also been back through your videos and love the van build! Very jealous and hoping to start my own soon! Thanks again! Worthy of more recognition for sure!

That was ace! Thanks Al 😊

[@kristaps2010]

Alpkit Hunka XL or PHD Designs Greenlandic Snowline Bivvy, what should I get. I wonder what I would love to use more, just in tent covering my sleeping bag. I mean choosing an item what would make me more go out and when I'm out hiking I would love using it. Hunka or Maybe on very rare occasion would try sleeping under tarp. I understand condensation can develop in bivvi but Snowline has primaloft gold to reduce it. Comments on PHD ytube videos are turned off - there is not much of experience shared regarding this bivvy. many thanks!

[@BUSHMANandBLUE]

Well there is a big difference on price but obviously the Snowline is top banana. It’s clever as it does mange the moisture especially on multi day trips when it’s hard to dry out your gear. You can get is bespoke for size if you need it wider.

[@barrybutlerbutler2968]

Another great video. I tend to use the bivvy with the hood on top as this keeps the weather off your face and I use a pillow. It may be better for me being one who sleeps on my side.

[@BUSHMANandBLUE]

Yes I have a good design for a Bivvy. There are many designs but only a couple I like. They generally work better for people sleeping on their backs… I’m a side sleeper

[@EwanFall]

Thanks as always for the video Allen. Your enthusiam is infectious, I couldn't help smiling too. Such stunning scenery, and great weather this time. All the best!

[@BUSHMANandBLUE]

Thanks 😊. A great infection to get… keep spreading it👊

[@tullochgorum6323]

Local here. If you're a confident night walker, by far the best time to summit the Pike is at sunset. Great views to the Isle of Man, and you rarely have to share the experience. Do be a bit careful about the traverse from Esk Hause in winter - at times the (very extensive) boulder fields get covered in verglas. They are treacherous without spikes and tiring with them. Not very fun.

[@MrBrianc1975]

Great sunday nights viewing. Some good kit is that PHD, looks toasty in that environment. Thanks for the vid!

[@BUSHMANandBLUE]

Thanks mate. It’s designed by mountaineers for mountaineers so it’s top gear👌

[@leejohnson3209]

You've inspired me to get out hiking this year. I've walked miles and miles through Eryri, but with summer over and winter on its way I want to make sure I'm prepared for the wet and cold so I can carry on enjoying my walks with Jess my Collie. Knowing what to buy on a very tight budget is a nightmare. All the stuff that looks good is very expensive, but I don't want to go too cheap and be wet and cold. I'm not an overnighter, I usually get up at the crack of dawn and do a 4-8 hour hike. I won't be going out in extreme weather or in snow and ice. I've got decent waterproof boots. So I'm guessing gloves, waterproof pants and coat with a warm jacket is the way to go for the paths peaks of Eryri.

[@BUSHMANandBLUE]

Yes a lot of gear is well expensive but there are bargains to be had. Keep looking in the sales or on ‘sportspursuit’. If you are hiking then you don’t need a down jacket just a decent waterproof and some layers underneath. Keep up the exercise 👍👍👍

I asked the same question. I could tell you his answer, but that would spoil things for you.

[@Mike-zm5bf]

Glad you found your drone!

[@BUSHMANandBLUE]

I didn’t. If you notice the image quality is bad… that’s what the controller receives. The 4K version is stored to the drone itself and I filmed this prior to losing it.

Great video. Hate to see the trash all over. I’m packing for a 10 day winter camp in the High Uintas in Utah. There is 85” of snow now after the two Pineapple Express hit. Went from 50” to 85” at Trial Lake Snotel in a few days. Thanks for keeping this depressed soul motivated! I’ll have to send a photo or two out when I get home.

I so agree with you about the litter problem, I just don’t understand the mindset of some people!

Beautiful dog.

[@Dr.D00p]

I had some Montane down trousers and thought they would be great for sleeping in inside my sleeping bag on cold winter camps. But I found that being a side sleeper, the down would compress, losing their loft and were then pretty much useless at keeping out the cold and draughts

[@BUSHMANandBLUE]

It will compress against your matt but a good matt with a high r-value is essential in cold weather 👍👍👍

Hi Allen, absolutely love your videos. I just wanted to ask if you ever worry about the legality of wild camping and whether you’ll be moved on in the middle of the night? I know your locations are often very remote so probably don’t come into it much! I’m tempted to try it, especially after a couple of sunrise walks up to the Thirlmere and Buttermere pools and loving the solitude and unbelievable scenery. Keep up the great work and congratulations on 50k.
