Solo Camping in the Mountains with Brutal Rain and Winds | Hilleberg Nammatj 2 in Storm Conditions

When this guy says he's going to make some dinner I assumed he was going to pull out a freeze-dried ration and boil some water on his gas cylinder stove. You know, quick and easy. But no, he starts chopping fresh veggies and browning 1/2 pound of beef. But that's not all, he whacks out a Trangia alcohol burner in those gale-force winds, and then proceeds to lit it with a match, just to make himself a proper meal. That's my new definition of dedication. Never again will I complain about my camp food.

[@GoingSoloOutdoors]

I only see and respond to the comments that are sent directly to me or if I’m tagged in the reply. Otherwise they don’t even show up in my KZbin studio comments section 👍. Although, I’m not really bothered by stranger comments. I taught biology and chemistry to high school students for over a decade.

Pitching up with approximately £5K of camping equipment helps a person present a positive attitude. As does being paid for the ordeal. I subscribe to KZbin Premium so I don't see ads, but I wonder how many he had you sit through.

[@GoingSoloOutdoors]

@@michaelc3977 😂 I only have the one Ad before the video starts because KZbin makes me. I dont care to make money off anyone who watches. This is just a hobby of mine and my family is the most important thing. That’s why I usually only make one video a month, I don’t include affiliated links, I don’t ask anyone to buy me a coffee 😂, and I don’t have any of those super chats or whatever turned on. I do this because I love it. I drive an old car and I probably will until the wheels fall off, I still wear clothing I’ve had for 15 years, I don’t waste money on nonsense other than travel with my family and camping gear 😅 (because I have an addiction to gear) and it’s what I love to do.

Omg, that was brutal ! A wild camp in the true sense of the phrase. Hats of to you for enduring those conditions and battling on to make the most of what you could salvage from the wind and rain. It sure was a good testament to how your Nammatj 2 can withstand whatever nature can throw at it. I almost feel guilty watching you endure those conditions as I sit here viewing from a stifling 40 C Malaysia where it's too bloody hot to go out at the moment. Take care and stay safe buddy.ATVB 🇲🇾

Definitely tough conditions but the Nammatj has excelled in any conditions I’ve pitched it 👍. It’s been a fantastic tent. 40C Wow. That is warm! Really appreciate you watching and taking the time to comment! ATB

[@SOURandSALTY.]

That Hultafors is a great idea! I hope they'll ship to US soon. I'm also loving how spacious the Nammatj is. But in a windy-pouring rain situation, I would still opt for the Hilleberg geodesic ones (That wind is scary!!!). Thank you for another great video!

[@GoingSoloOutdoors]

I got my Hultafors on Amazon in the US 👍. Because of the two pole design, the Nammatj does flap a bit more than one of Hillebergs smaller geodesic tents like the Soulo. However, in these conditions, I really enjoy having the extra space. I have the Soulo’s big brother the Allak 2, but it doesn’t handle the wind as well as the Nammatj. I’ve had the Nammatj out in crazy winds enough that I have come to trust it. The flapping is just part of the design but it’s rock solid as long as you get it properly guyed out. Which I didn’t have the chance to do until later in the evening 😅. Really appreciate you watching and taking the time to comment. Hope you have a nice weekend.

[@SOURandSALTY.]

@@GoingSoloOutdoors I've compared your Nammatj & Soulo camping under extreme conditions, I find Nammatj has less clanky noise in the inner tent and the ventilation is really excellent. But you were also right about the Nammatj having a single vestibule, it'll be a bit troublesome if 2 people are using it. Is it a good idea to put the backpacks at the foot end (lying sideways) if 2 people are using a 6 ft. sleeping bag & mat under extreme conditions? Otherwise a GT would be a better option. Thank you so much!

Not weird at all! It triggers a part of us that we've had for thousands of years. One that despite the relatively short time we've lived with the comforts of today, will be there for many years to come. The need for food, water and shelter is obviously essential for life. When we see a warm, dry and comfortable shelter in severe weather, it's almost impossible not to get a cozy feeling. It's primal and practically involuntary, and I'm completely fine with my caveman instinct showing itself in these situations! 😂

These were definitely not ideal conditions for a hike and a camp but once inside the tent it was a very cozy evening. This tent is made for conditions worse than this so it's tougher than it looks 👍. Appreciate you watching and taking the time to comment! ATB

[@greenpanda7121]

Excellent gear choices and enviable positive attitude. Look forward to seeing more! The Lake District is gorgeous but often sopping wet!

[@GoingSoloOutdoors]

Thanks! Definitely looking forward to a dry camp where I can sit outside the tent and maybe catch a nice sunset 👍. Appreciate the comment. ATB

@@GoingSoloOutdoors How long have you had your Nammatj and do you have a Hilleberg favourite?

[@GoingSoloOutdoors]

@@greenpanda7121I have had it for around a year and a half. I find I use each of my Hillebergs for different types of camps but one that I really have been enjoying a lot is the Unna. It’s a simple design but it’s also pretty spacious for one person.

[@greenpanda7121]

@@GoingSoloOutdoors cool thanks for the input. I'm not an Unna fan due to lack of vestibule/unclipping to gain vestibule, but I do enjoy its simplicity. I've found the Nammatj to be one of their very best all rounders, only my opinion of course.

[@GoingSoloOutdoors]

@@greenpanda7121 I would agree with that. For its weight, strength and space inside. The Nammatj is pretty hard to beat. The Unna is nowhere near capable of handling the same kind of winds that the Nammatj can. I just sometimes prefer having a freestanding tent. 🤣 and I am a bit addicted to using different tents nearly every camp

[@alexmcleod4871]

I absolutely loved this (from the comfort of my warm flat)! Brilliantly done from start to finish and your meal looked excellent. What a great and extremely relaxing channel, despite the tension in this one! I’m looking forward to catching up on your other camps and it’s even got me thinking about getting a tent!

[@GoingSoloOutdoors]

Really happy to hear you liked the video. This definitely wasn’t the best weather for a hike and a camp but once I got inside the tent and put some dry clothes on, it was quite nice. I really appreciate you taking a look at some of my other videos hopefully you like them. Hope you enjoy the rest of your week. ATB

[@ervinslens]

What a beautiful scenery my friend, this looks and feels amazing!

Thanks! It’s a beautiful place. Even when covered in rain and clouds. Really appreciate you watching!

[@thomasowens5824]

I am new here, I am very impressed a brother from across the pond is mastering walks through the L.D. in such weather, not easy even for us Northerners.

[@GoingSoloOutdoors]

Thanks! Been living here in England for a little over 4 years now and absolutely loving it. Love coming to the Lakes for hikes and camps regardless of the weather. However, I do prefer a dry day with a nice sunset/sunrise. Really appreciate you watching and taking the time to comment! ATB

[@AntSurviveTheNight]

A rough camp that mate, it's always tough when out on these types of adventures but when you get home you appreciate everything that little bit more. Absolutely stunning food! It's 7/8am here and I'm now craving that haha. I'm definitely going to try it. Fab camera work! Cheers mate.

[@GoingSoloOutdoors]

You absolutely appreciate everything a bit more when you get home 😂🙌👍. One of the best warm showers I’ve had in a long time! You should definitely give that recipe a try. Really tasty. By the way, I really love watching your adventures in your Bobcat but not sure I would have enjoyed the smaller space in these conditions. At some point I’m going to purchase that tent because of your videos 👍😀. ATB man!

[@jakereeves2989]

Yes it makes you really appreciate diving straight into bed when you get home. There’s no better feeling. I’ve camped out for weeks on end with similar weather. When you know you’ve got everything well prepared and the tent is strong enough to withstand almost any weather, it makes you feel so cosy and relaxed when you’re in it. I go to sleep every night with the sound of rain on KZbin, but the real thing is soo much better. Especially rain drops on a tent!

[@AntSurviveTheNight]

Yeah no better feeling matey is there. My wife goes mad cause ill come home and turn the heating on! Yeah, I'll have a blast of that this week I reckon and as you say will feel loads. Oh nice one thank you man, I appreciate that and glad you enjoyed them. Brilliant, I'll look forward to hearing your thoughts on it when you do. Big thanks for the reply 🙏

[@AntSurviveTheNight]

​@jakereeves2989 yeah and just turn it that hot you come out like a lobster Jake haha! I'm with you on the tent, once you know you have a good one the pressure is off isn't it, you can just enjoy the ride! For me it's a scary podcast, nothing better than laying out on a desolate Moor or a woodland and listening to a spooky story haha!

[@barbn1211]

This video is pretty amazing. The fact that you were able to film at all is worthy of major props. You captured the severity of the weather outside and in your tent so well that I felt chilly just watching. Your narrative throughout is appreciated as it fully confirms how you're feeling, what your game plan is, and warns that this type of camping is not for the unexperienced. Well done!!

[@GoingSoloOutdoors]

Really appreciate this comment. Wasn’t the easiest trip to capture but it’s nice to have a full video record of my entire trip. Even when the weather is less than ideal. Happy to hear you enjoyed watching it! ATB

[@ianwebster652]

school boy error not having a change of clothing in a drybag, but fair play for toughening it out ,the food looked amazing 👌

[@GoingSoloOutdoors]

Thanks! Bit of a bummer but it was only my long johns I was missing. I had a long sleeve shirt, puffy and socks in a dry bag so I was plenty comfortable 👍. I could have kept my trousers on and they would have dryed by morning but I went the more immediately comfortable route. Definitely want leave them behind again though. Really appreciate you taking the time to comment! ATB

[@rhymeswithteeth]

@@GoingSoloOutdoors Why are your pants not waterproof?

[@GoingSoloOutdoors]

@@rhymeswithteeth they are 👍. I had a pair of waterproof trousers over my normal hiking pants. The extended heavy rains soaked through both my waterproof jacket and trousers though

[@entrelepingetlepong3746]

Whatever are waterproof stuff, in rain like that every get wet, full merino is amazing for that because when u will use the same wet close the day after u will feel still ok and warm after, tell me your sleeping bag are down or synthetic?

I wonder how a floorless tipi tent would perform under these conditions.

[@hariseldon2577]

Brings back some great and some horrible memories of camping in the lakes and the Yorkshire dales. Long periods dozing in a tent whilst the wind and rain whip around you. Marvellous.

[@GoingSoloOutdoors]

It can sometimes be very relaxing when it’s not too crazy out. Always love the sound of rain on the tent! Really appreciate you watching and taking the time to comment. All the best.

[@Chris-ef4lw]

I went camping in September in similar weather conditions however I was in a 4 man tent with a high profile, very bad idea! Even though I was in the relative comfort and safety of a campsite by 5am when the front pole had blown in so hard and snapped I was emotionally broken. Had to spend about 3 hours stood holding the tent up against the storm so it didn't blow completely in. There were parts of this video that actually triggered some kind of mild PTSD I think but I stuck with it and watched right the way through. It was inspiring and unexpectedly cathartic to see you deal with such a rough night with such a stoic demeanor, thanks for the great video!

[@GoingSoloOutdoors]

Thanks for watching! Wow 3 hrs is a long time to support the tent. Makes for a memorable camp though. I enjoy using this tent in rough weather because it gives me a good amount of space for one person but still maintains a nice narrow profile which is great in these high winds. Although the flapping definitely makes for a long night, even with earplugs. Really appreciate you taking the time to comment. Hope you have a great week. ATB

[@chmod1777]

That's better than I ever cook at home.

[@GoingSoloOutdoors]

It was nice to have a tasty warm meal after that hike 👍

[@bertmacdonald337]

Best part of conditions like that in the Lakes is you have the place to yourself! You know it`s windy when the water is being blown out of the streams! Miss those days now that I live in Western Australia, but we have deserts, and that is a whole new ball game! Stay safe mate.

[@GoingSoloOutdoors]

Very true. Nice to not running into any other hikers. There is definitely a lot of beauty to be found in a desert as well 👍😀. Appreciate you taking the time to comment! ATB

[@MCMOutdoors]

Great stuff mate. Arduous conditions requiring resilience to continue on. The Nammatj performed well - concerned the guy tensioners slipped....I'm going to take the plunge on this tent. There are a tonne of Hilleberg Haters out there (for no reason I can discern), but they're the best shelters out there - as shown in this video. I always enjoy your uploads mate. ATB, Chris

[@azclaimjumper]

Count me as a Hilleberg Lover - In March 2020 I bought the Enan that has the same 70D floor as the Akto as of February 2020. Warm Regards from Reno, Nevada U.S.A.

[@GoingSoloOutdoors]

It’s a fantastic tent! I may have made a typo in the video if I said it was the guy tensioners. It wasn’t the guy tensioners it was the fly tensioners at the base of the vestibule that were slipping. This has never happed to me before but it definitely wasn’t ideal. I was able to stop the slipping with a single overhand knot in the ribbon material but it was a bit annoying. It may have been because it was so saturated by the rain. Not sure. Really appreciate the comment Chris. ATB

Hi, from Montréal, we went camping in nova scotia one time it was so windy and non stop,it was giving me a real headache To the point that we packed up,and looked for another place. But nothing To compare with what this video shows. We were To families (9) people and we enjoyed camping for years. Thanks for your video, it helps me cope with these sad times, my wife Louise just passed away. Take care signed Jim

[@GoingSoloOutdoors]

Camping in windy conditions can definitely be a challenge. A bit easier when you only have to worry about yourself. Camping in a group definitely creates its own challenges. Unfortunately it’s windy like this quite often here in England. Earplugs definitely help when trying to get some sleep though. So sorry for your loss. Wishing you all the best.

[@LarsRyeJeppesen]

[@braveheart196]

That is one good tent for the wind extreme chefing loved this to bits

[@GoingSoloOutdoors]

The Nammatj has definitely become by go to tent when the weather isn’t great. Spacious, a good vestibule for cooking, and it can take a beating in the wind 👍

[@ya2daup]

I admire your positive attitude in the face of truly adverse conditions. Your tent took quite a pounding from the looks of things -- I am happy that your excursions out of it to readjust its lines and stakes were not prompted by a substantial collapse of the tent itself. Your contemplative time to prepare your meal was a nice contrast to the extreme conditions in which you found yourself. I very much enjoyed watching this!

[@GoingSoloOutdoors]

Glad you enjoyed it! When I was initially setting up the tent, many of this pegs were hard to get into the ground because it was very rocky. My priority at that time was to just get the tent up and secure enough pegs that I would have time to get changed into some dry warm clothing. I knew I would have to go back out at some point to readjust and better anchor a few of the pegs with rocks. It was nice I was able to relax and make myself a nice meal in the meantime before the winds picked up even more. Really appreciate you watching and taking the time to comment. Hope you have a nice week.
