Solo Winter Camping in the Snow with the Hilleberg Nammatj 2 & X-Boil Cooking

Join me on a really nice winter hike and camp in the mountains. Finally got to see some proper snow on this one!! For this camp I am using a new tent, the Hilleberg Nammatj 2 that my incredible wife got me for Christmas. It was really nice to have a bit of extra space in this tent compared to my other one-man tents that I normally use. As usual, after setting up camp and enjoying the views I sit down to make a nice meal cooked using my ultralight cook kit. After dinner I share some tips I use to stay warm when the temperatures are really cold in winter. If anyone else has any others please leave them down in the comments for everyone. It’s always great to share this kind of information so that more people are not afraid to get out and enjoy camping in the winter! I really enjoyed this camp and I hope you do too. Please leave any questions or comments down below and I’ll see you on the next one! Thanks for Watching

The realisation that you are hiking to your campsite while walking back and fourth moving your camera along the way to share your journey hit me while watching. Your editing skills are truly amazing , I feel like I, too, have been on a journey. And then if the hiking and camp set up is not already a feat in itself you then cook a meal Gordon Ramsey would be amazed by 😂. Thanks for sharing! Watching from South Island, NZ

[@GoingSoloOutdoors]

Thank you! Setting up the camera and walking away from it feels silly but I think it definitely makes for a better video. Hearing that you feel like you have been on the journey with me is great 👍😀. Cooking is always a fun way to unwind at camp. A bit of extra work but it’s great to have a nice fresh meal. Really appreciate you watching and taking the time comment. ATB

[@janiceblack2881]

I’ve watched a lot of your back catalogue and can honestly say you’re a great all rounder across all the different camping techniques and styles.The added bonus is that you have great culinary skills. Keep these first class videos coming they are really entertaining in every aspect.

[@GoingSoloOutdoors]

Thank you so much for the kind words. I enjoy all styles of camping so I could never limit myself to just one 😀👍. I really appreciate you going back and watching my older videos. It really helps the channel. Thanks again for such a nice comment! All the best

Bro cooks better in his tent in frigid conditions than I do at home in my kitchen

This camp is amazing. I'm not much for one to winter camp but have done so. You truely enjoy all your different styles & seasons of camping. This makes it enjoyable to watch. In alot of ways I'm right there. Like the drone views very much. Perfect views giving what it's like to be in the quiet seclusion of the mountains. Thanks

[@GoingSoloOutdoors]

Glad you enjoyed the video. I get excited each time we move into a different season. Winter camping is one of my favorites though. I love the snow and the silence. It’s always nice when I can get the drone out and show the landscape from that perspective. Really appreciate you watching my videos and taking the time to comment. ATB

Your production skills are next level. A real joy to watch ✊

[@petermickelsen7922]

I very much enjoy your videos and thank you for the extra work you go to to set up your shots. At times I feel as though watching you hiking I am your hiking partner, which is truly fun to be out there with a buddy. Also, thank you for introducing me to cooking, which I am definitely not that it's just Seiyu cook however, through your efforts, I might get to be one. Cheers, Peter.

[@GoingSoloOutdoors]

Glad you are enjoying the videos Peter. It’s great to hear that you feel like you are on the trip as well. Thats one of the things I hope to accomplish with the video. Cooking can be very fun. I highly recommend giving it a go more often. Thank you for watching and taking the time to comment.

[@deansimono7057]

Thank you! Youre a good cook. There is nothing like hunkering down, way up in the hills, even in snow, a great sense of closeness and adventure.

Thanks! I completely agree. I love that feeling when you finally hunker down for the night in the tent. Very cosy. Appreciate you watching and taking the time to comment. ATB

Hi. LOVE. LOVE. CAMPING.

[@GoingSoloOutdoors]

Thanks Mark

[@ericb.4358]

Now THAT is a great winter tent. Tunnel tents are the best for wind and snow and the Nammajt is at the top of that list. (So please forgive my previous derisive comments about the Unna's bad design ;o) You have to feel very safe in the Nammajt regardless of the wind. I have a Tarptent SCARP 2 that gives me that feeling with "winter setup mode". DAYMN! a real cooked meal. It's always nice that you can bring meat in the winter as it stays cool in your pack. I like to bring sage sausage to go with my pancakes. Good addition of the shallot to fried mushrooms. You have my mouth watering. But my wife is cooking bacon wrapped filet mignon for New Year's.day so maybe its that smell that's making me salivate.

[@GoingSoloOutdoors]

The Nammatj is one of my go to tents in the winter or in bad weather when I’m looking for a bit of space. This tent has shrugged off some pretty crazy conditions. It is always very convenient being able to carry fresh ingredients in the winter time. However, in the summer, I will just freeze meats and they will thaw out during my hike. If it happens to be really hot, I’ll include a frozen water bottle. Hope you enjoyed your New Year’s bacon wrapped fillet mignon. Sounds delicious. Hope you enjoy the rest your week. All the best!

[@MountainManJohnFilms]

It's funny how watching these videos just winds me up....I want to be back out on a Wintery hill......NOW 😂. Great film. Love the quiet scenes. Just takes me out there . I did one in almost those exact conditions near the Old man. Stunning nights

I am very moved by your videos. Never seen the mountains. Never seen a place without trees. It sounded like you said ' one final wish ' towards the end as you overlooked the beautiful morning sky, the color and the view of everything was amazing. I loved your stoves and your cooking skills are wonderful. That tent is ultra cool. And I don't think Ive ever seen a better view in my life.

[@GoingSoloOutdoors]

Winter camping in the snow is one of my all time favorite times to camp. Aside from being beautiful, the silence you get when everything is covered in snow is something special. Although this tent is a bit heavy it’s a really nice home away from home that can handle weather better than most. Really glad you enjoyed the video. Thank you for taking the time to comment! All the best 😀

[@marjoriebeckwith8819]

This is the second video I've watched you make me want to go camping.love your videos so far.

[@GoingSoloOutdoors]

Thank you for watching another video! Camping is my personal reset button. No matter what’s going on in life, going out and camping in a place like this forces you to be 100% present in the moment! It’s a great experience 👍

[@nicholasleonardo4788]

Another awesome video. That chicken stroganoff looked delicious. I had the same thought of keeping that pasta water for the hot bottle for the sleeping bag. Don't know if you put salt in that pasta water. But, that would keep it from eventually freezing easily. You do it all right every time.😊

[@GoingSoloOutdoors]

Thanks! I really appreciate you continuing to watch the older videos. This meal is pretty simple and very tasty. I’m going to need to make this for dinner for the family soon.

[@frednorman1]

Another great video. And I have to say I am amused by your culinary skills and the effort it takes to make these complex meals while backpacking. I would have difficulty making that meal in my own kitchen at home … when I go backpacking, I just bring ramen noodles or freeze dried meals. So again I have to applaud your culinary endeavors.

[@GoingSoloOutdoors]

Thanks! It makes way more sense to bring freeze dried meals backpacking. But since I have the time and I really enjoy cooking I find it fun to make meals with my camping equipment that I’d usually cook at home. I’ve gotten the packing for each meal down so it’s pretty easy to bring the ingredients 👍. Thanks again for another thoughtful comment!

Upon rewatching, may I respectfully suggest those snug fitting rubber fingered gloves for cold fiddly jobs? I buy ones slightly smaller to maintain maximum dextrosity, (I think I just invented a new word ;) As you ably demonstrate, comfort over weight for winter camps!

[@GoingSoloOutdoors]

I’ve been meaning to get a thinner pair of gloves to also take with me when I don’t need my larger gloves. I need to also try just using the liner of these gloves which are removable from the larger leather glove. I typically always favor comfort and durability over weight 👍.

Great video. Beautiful raw nature scenery. Might be worth mentioning that only the US uses the old Fahrenheit temperature system and the rest of the world use Centigrade. So to understand what you mean by “cold”, 12 degrees needs converting to -11 Degrees Centigrade (eleven degrees below freezing point) for the rest of the world to understand you. We watch your videos all around the world mate and need to know these things :-)

One think I liked about my nammatj compared to my Nallo was that if you pitch the rear into the wind, the rear of the roof does not flatten with wind reducing living space like it does with the nallo. With the nammatj though , my head was always touching the inner, not so though with the nallo near the entrance. The nammatj is the best tunnel imho.

[@GoingSoloOutdoors]

Both fantastic tents 👍. I agree and I do absolutely love the Nammatj. I’ve just personally never been a big fan of the door placement of the Nallo.

Thanks. I agree trekking poles are definitely a must in the snow! When I’m not pointing the camera I actually have my tripod in hand and use it as a trekking pole. It’s carbon fiber and pretty beefy.

Thanks! Good tip. Oddly enough the metal pegs were fine to get out. It was the plastic delta pegs that had really become anchored. They are great pegs but they don’t have a pull cord so if you can’t get a good purchase around them it can be really tough to pull them out. Would have been nice to have a small stone though to break up the ice around them! Thanks for watching! ATB

amazing stuff! great production skills, camping and cooking skills thanks for taking us with you! might sugest you do equipement videos too, Id love to know more about that tent

[@GoingSoloOutdoors]

Thanks! I haven’t really done any equipment videos yet because I worry people might think I’m trying to promote or sell them something. Which is definitely not the goal of this channel. I haven’t completely ruled out one day doing videos on gear but for right now I’m just doing trip videos and cooking shorts. However, I’m always happy to give recommendations or answer any questions about any of my gear! Really appreciate the comment. ATB

That is a beautiful camp and nice vid thanks for sharing

[@GoingSoloOutdoors]

Thanks! Camping in the snow is my absolute favorite. I’m hoping I can make it here a few more times this year when the mountains are covered in snow ❄️🤞

[@TonyHobbs]

@GoingSoloOutdoors where are generally not specifically Yeah want to try some colder camps myself tbh it's mild down south

[@GoingSoloOutdoors]

In the Borrowdale area. I have found the winters in the UK to be quite mild in general. Especially when compared to the winters I had back when we lived in the states.

[@TonyHobbs]

@GoingSoloOutdoors thanks My friend who has the Hilleberg is from Colorado so gets some chill there 😆 you did well to find snow ❄️ good luck this coming winter

Nice series of videos. Inspiring, even for a vegetarian :) One question: n other video's you use a leather 'mat' to put under your stove, here it's a different (felt?) material. What is it? I also have an x-boil and use a piece of aluminum foil to not scorch the underground, but this looks like a better solution :)

[@GoingSoloOutdoors]

In this video I am using a cheap soldering mat I got on Amazon. This is just a bit larger than my leather mat so I brought it on this trip because it could fit both stoves 👍. Really appreciate you watching. Hope you have a great new year.

Who doesn’t love a snow camp, really enjoyed this one, thanks for taking us along..👍🏻 I also got my first ever snow camp in last night, in my very own Derbyshire Peaks, was only probably 1.5” of snow on the ground where I pitched, but that’s good enough for me! I had gusty 40mph winds for around 3hrs, with a mere -10 windchill. 🥶 Still such an enjoyable experience though. 😊 ❄️⛺️☃️

[@GoingSoloOutdoors]

Winter camping is the best, especially if you get some snow! Sounds like a good time, I’d be happy with 1.5” of snow. I just wish we’d get snow more often. Thanks for watching and taking the time to comment Scoot. Have a great weekend!

[@rogerhudson2814]

Great video, nice tent : but please carry a staff/pole of some sort in rough country, especially where there are possibly hidden streams or holes.

[@GoingSoloOutdoors]

Thanks! I actually use my carbon fiber tripod (it’s pretty beefy) as a trekking pole and it definitely helped me on this hike identify hidden streams! Because it’s also my tripod, you’re not really getting to see it in the hiking portions of the video. Really appreciate you watching and taking the time to comment! ATB

[@justmyopiniontoday7548]

So very well done. Another hill and climbing challenge so tastefully communicated for others to share in. Winter hills hike and camp - one of the Earth's great rewards. As super luxureous the Nammatji I think I would get all afraid about heating such a large space with body heat, but the freedom to truely move around in a tent as you say .... And thank you for ending with your LNT messaging - makes me feel good every time a channel does. Respects.

[@GoingSoloOutdoors]

I agree with the size of the Nammatj. The space is a real luxury but it makes much more sense for your body heat to warm a one man tent in the winter instead of a two man tent! I was plenty warm before bed but definitely a trade off when you’re in a small space for so many hours. With seeing people leave litter in the Peak District and all the drama in Dartmoor it’s more important than ever to promote LNT. Us wild campers want to hike up to a pristine spot more than anyone! We need to protect these places for everyone to enjoy! Thanks for watching and taking the time to comment! All the best

[@robmccarthy210]

I was up in the lakes for some incredible snow fall last weekend. I had packed for a snow camp but didn't quite trust myself at the last moment - I'd not solo camped in snow before and was put off by the length of the night... also had a 3 season tent (Lanshan 2) so I think not staying up on my own was probably the right call. Watched this to see if you'd clear the snow from the tent footprint but ended up getting sucked in to your amazing video. Definitely inspired and hoping to get that first snow camp in soon (just a little more confident next tine!) Thanks for the video.

[@GoingSoloOutdoors]

Thanks for watching Rob! Camping in the snow is probably my favorite way to camp but it does require a bit of extra kit to be more comfortable. I’ve used a 3 season tent in the past in the snow and I must admit, if it’s windy it can get quite cold. Just need to make sure your sleep system is dialed in for the temps. You should absolutely give it a try though. Really appreciate you taking the time to comment and watching a bit more of the video! All the best!

Snow is the best water ! If you can find some fresh , and have enough heat I’m always worried about dead deers up stream. When taking water from the streams, so I always used snow that was freshly laid. Old Owl 🦉

[@GoingSoloOutdoors]

Yeah, it would’ve been much more convenient to just use the snow but my filters really good and I didn’t have enough fuel to melt it and still have my morning coffee 😀☕️

[@OldOwl2003]

Ahh yes I didn’t think of that 🤦‍♀️ and anyway who knows what’s under a fresh layer of white snow near a bothy 😅

Nice video. Good cooking skills. I like a proper cooked meal on a camp 👌. I’m toying with getting a nammatj 2 Probably don’t need one but that’s a technicality 😂 anyway enjoyed the vid. New sub. Dunno how I haven’t seen you before. 👍

He has 3 Hilleberg Tents that he overnights with, the Nammatj2, a Soulo, & an Enan which I believe is his most recent acquisition. Warm Regards from Reno, Nevada U.S.A.

Thanks for stopping by Andy, I’m a subscriber of yours! The Nammatj 2 has been great so far, not too big not too small. My wife got it for me for Christmas. This was my first proper wild camp with it. Really appreciate the sub and you taking the time to comment! ATB

[@Melerovsky]

Great video, great drone footage!! Thanks for that. Q: Are your Keen insulated? How do you deal with cold in your feet while walking? On the other hand, had it been better to use micro spikes or no need? I thought the orange side of the sleeping pad should go towards the ground. Amazing cook, btw. Thanks again for these videos!!

[@GoingSoloOutdoors]

I have a pair of insulated boots but on this trip I just wore wool socks with my keens. I only used micro spikes towards the end of the hike on the way down the mountain the next morning. A few rocky areas had iced over. I think I may have said crampons in the video but I meant micro spikes 👍. The orange side of the pad you sleep on and the silver side of the pad goes towards the ground according to Nemo. I just follow the manufacturer instructions since they are the ones who designed the pad. I believe Thermarest designs their closed cell foam pads to be slept on in the opposite orientation(silver side up). Thanks for watching and taking the time to comment! ATB

I thought you’d be having a dehydrated meal to make it easier for yourself 😄 great effort on the cooking! Love that area of the lakes, conditions looked great and the new tent looks perfect 👌🏼

[@tomfenn7149]

It's too easy to do dehydrated meals. I love the 'chef goes camping' element which is sadly lacking from many other's videos. A unique angle imho.

[@GoingSoloOutdoors]

Yeah this is a great area! Got lucky with the weather. Such great views and plenty of snow!😀 A dehydrated meal would have been easier and would have saved some weight but when the nights are really long it’s nice to have something to do. And a nice and fresh cooked meal is always mint! Thanks for watching and have a great weekend!

[@GoingSoloOutdoors]

@@tomfenn7149 as someone who already loves cooking I do enjoy the challenge! For multiday treks and to save weight dehydrated meals are fantastic though. I would actually like to try to make my own on one of these camps. Maybe I’ll do an in-home cooking video and show how I make it. I used to make beef jerky all the time, but I’ve never tried to make a full dehydrated meal. Could be fun! 👍

[@tomfenn7149]

@@GoingSoloOutdoors I tried them (dehydrated meals) years ago, in Canada in fact. I agree they're more convenient and they've likely got a lot better in the last 40 years (!!) but my dad and I found them bland and tasteless. I know there's a current trend to try and make your own. I think that is good, as some of them are also extremely pricey (typical Brit here- always looking for a bargain!! lol )

[@GoingSoloOutdoors]

@@tomfenn7149 😂 nothing wrong with a bargain! The last one I had was one of the Real Turmat dehydrated meals. It was very expensive, but I must admit it, it was really pretty good.
