Cheers for the mention mate and I did take my foam mat this time too, it's 2 or 3mm btw. Recommend running gloves to keep y hands warm whilst keeping dexterity, they're not seriously warm but good transition gloves. . Those down trousers look good! I had exactly the same problem with the snow in my porch last night - 1 foot easy, let's see what Henry Shires has to say about it! I honestly don't think it was how it was set up, I had mine pinned down as far as I could, the wind was just whipping the powder up and in. I remember being on top of Foel Grach 40mph winds, - 16. Comparing the hilleberg akto to scarp, the scarp was more robust on top, it was taught AF, the akto was flappy, but the wind was whipping under the scarp and I was worried it would blow off without me in it! The akto was closer to the ground and better for it. Please please Henry Shires make it all the way to the ground or attachable snow skirts 🙏

No worries 💪 I remember you had it on a camp with me, I couldn't believe the difference, definitely part of my winter kit now 👌 the down trousers and socks are brilliant, think i paid £74 for them both, absolute bargain 😀 yeah Henry needs to see this for sure, no point having a tent designed for snowloading if it all ends up in your tent 😳 it's the only flaw the scarp has in my opinion, if it went to the ground we could choose to lift it up for extra ventilation. Catch you soon 🦆 atb Paul 🙏🏕🏕🏕😁

[@adge_ventures4915]

Happy new year mate! Great to see the scarp out doing it's thing! Agree ref material going right to the floor. The other ventilation options are such that it wouldn't be necessary for the fly to be raised :) Stay safe and well 🙏🏼 Adge and B

[@ACumbrianladoutdoors]

Happy new year Adge, hope you and B are well 😁 still a great tent, but Mr Shires is adamant it doesn't need to go to the floor, Lake District snow disagrees 🤣 atb Paul 🙏🏕🏕🏕😁

Some good content,bailed early due to too many adverts

[@ACumbrianladoutdoors]

Cheers buddy, glad you enjoyed it😁 there's no control over adverts for creators now, they are either on or off. Watching adverts is a great way of supporting me (and any youtube creator) it's only a few seconds here and there, and it's really helps me out as youtube doesn't pay me a fortune, this working malarkey is ruining my camping career 🤣 atb Paul 🙏🏕🏕🏕😁

Cheers Tony, happy new year to you too 😀 glad you enjoyed it pal, atb Paul 🙏🏕🏕🏕😁

[@allieandmaria]

Try using the snow bank to your advantage. ie. pile it against the gaps at the bottom of the tent. 👍

[@ACumbrianladoutdoors]

When i got to the summit there was only a dusting of snow, the heavy snowfall arrived whilst I was asleep, by the time I woke the damage was done unfortunately, if there's enough snow next time I'll definitely do that. But Tarptent definitely need to make future Scarp models to go to the ground. Thanks for watching and commenting, it's really appreciated, atb Paul 🙏🏕🏕🏕😁

One thing I'd add with having a wee when it's cold is the body heats that wee up inside so it's beneficial to get it out because you could end up feeling cold if you hold it in. A couple of tips from me would be always being everything inside the tent when camping in the snow (especially your boots) so all your gear doesn't get snow on. Another would be take some waterproof workman gloves (cheap on Amazon) as they will help you put up or take your tent down without getting cold wet hands and you will still have full dexterity as there tight to your hands. Happy camping, Chris 👍

[@ACumbrianladoutdoors]

Cheers Chris, thanks for the tips, I'm always learning myself, my favourite phrase is "every day is a school day" that was my first time experiencing spin drift, lesson learned when camping in snow 🤣❄️ definitely packing some cheap waterproof gloves next time 💪 thanks for watching and commenting, it's really appreciated, atb Paul 🙏🏕🏕🏕😁

[@Peter-Lindsay]

Great video Paul and great to see u out. Everything well explained for any newbie. That spin drift was mental. Was it tough going getting the pegs in or out, I remember on Side Pike last year, I snapped a couple trying to remove them, the ground was solid. Hope u and the family had a fantastic Xmas and all the best for 2025 👍⛺️

[@ACumbrianladoutdoors]

Cheers Pete, was my first time experiencing spin drift, hopefully the last 🤣 no real issues with the pegs, a little stiff that's all. We had a great Christmas mate, hope you all did too 😀 all the best for 2025 🙏🏕🏕🏕😁

@ACumbrianladoutdoors Kirkwood has a cooking show on KZbin. His voice sounds just like Winnie the Pooh

[@heather333]

I bought an aluminium foil double-sided mat to protect and extend the r value of my Exped FlexPad + from an r of 2.2 to at least an r 3. It makes a huge difference. It's very light and cost £16 from amazon.

[@cragratoutdoors]

My mrs suffers with reynaulds. 2 things. Frostbite cream and magnesium supplement from nutrition geeks - it’s been an absolute game changer for her. New sub 👍🏻
