The things you put yourself through to entertain us.....thank heavens! Tent stood up well. You need a "pee bottle".....saves going outside in the wind, rain, snow, etc., if you want a wee wee during the night! Great video.

[@SummitOrNothing]

I am not sure I could trust myself not to spill a pee bottle inside my tent - going outside often adds a certain amount of excitement to an otherwise lengthy night anyway haha. Thanks for watching!

[@dogmanone8237]

Brutally honest video, it's certainly true that there are trekking days when one can ask more than once what the heck I'm doing here now... but these moments provide also often quite unforgettable memories that can make you laugh (once proper amount of time have passed, and you're having a sip of proper whisky in your easy chair in front of a fireplace...) BTW my favorite trick to make a solo camping trip more comfy is to take my dog with me (if you can still call it solo) - sleeping side by side, he provides some additional warmth, in addition to company. Plus informs if anything dodgy is happening nearby.

[@SummitOrNothing]

I would love a dog! Unfortunately in rented accommodation at the moment, and its a no go :-(. Looking to buy in the next year though, so a dog is top of our list. Thanks for watching, and really glad you enjoyed the video. I do look back a little more fondly on all my camps, even if they are horrid as I live them... by the time I'm editing them I'm already beginning to enjoy the experience! Thanks for watching, and sorry that it has taken me so long to reply... found it now though!

[@mrbiggles5211]

You need to get in all your layers before you get cold, they keep the warm in they won't create any extra warmth if you're already frozen... do some push up's in the tent, or some star jumps before you get in is good to get a boost of body heat. Also, get in the bag and eat your food, the warm food and digestion will also warm you up a bit. Happy new year Trev, keep up the good work.

[@SummitOrNothing]

Yea I usually do sit ups when I'm in the tent. Find that layering as I go does make a difference though, to be honest. That was advice I found in several places before and it works for me. Cheers for watching, Ian. All the best!

[@McCaf-1962]

A few strips of anti-slip carpet gripper works a treat, weights nothing, better still just bin camping when the weathers bad especially as you have zero 4 season camping gear .atb

Yea, but what would be the fun in that? hahah. Cheers for watching!

[@BurtonOutdoors]

Morning Trev mate, really good to see you out again, that's commitment right there booooiii... I reckon that meal would of been ok, 2 weeks out of date and freeze dried would of been fine mate. Enjoyed this one, I think I've got the same beanie as you too 😁 Elf on the bloody shelf!! Grrr,rrrr. Cool man, see ya on the 11th Jan? Lee

[@SummitOrNothing]

Cheers for watching, Lee. My hat has lost all the elasticity already, bloody old rubbish, and yea I'm sure that meal would have been alright bit if anyone is gonna get I'll from food it's me,and the idea of having to trek back with onset food poisoning scared the shit out of me hahah. All the best Lee. See you in the Brecon Beacons chap! Looking forward to it!

[@WalksWithOlly]

I enjoyed following this one, Trev and thanks again for the shoutout. I am sorry I didn't get the meal to you sooner. Straightlining across the moor and endless nights in confinement... Just like in the early days! I suffer the same with inflatable mats that slide all over the place. Robin Wallace recommend an anti-slip mat to me. It's Ikea's 'Stopp' but you could probably find something else in a DIY store. It does help, can be cut with scissors and weighs very little. Hope you're having a great Christmas, all the best for 2020.

[@SummitOrNothing]

No worries, Olly. I am sure the meal would have been fine, I still have it, so will give it a go I think - the consensus seems to think it will be ok. I will have to try to get the bedding situation sorted this year, its driven me mad, so will keep my eyes peeled for the anti-slip matting. Having a great Christmas, cheers, Olly - hope you are too. Catch you in the new year. Trev!

[@benhikescamps]

Enjoyed that. Really reminds me of a crap night sleep I had on a slope on the North Downs this summer. Like yourself, I remember questioning WHY do I do this?! Haha. Thanks for sharing and ATB - Ben - aka Londoner Outdoors.👍⛺️🔥

[@SummitOrNothing]

Hahaha! Yea, I question myself every time whilst I am out on the hill, but as soon as I am walking back, I am thinking where do I go next lol. Thanks for watching, Happy New Year!

[@petersmithm9]

I use one of those reflective windscreen covers underneath my air mat, silver side up. Placed some of that carpet anti-slip pad on top of it to stop the mat slipping. Like you I use thermal long johns and top plus those wooly thermal bed socks. With my wooly hat I look like a ninja if I have to get up in the middle of the night to answer natures call.

[@SummitOrNothing]

That sounds like a great idea with the windscreen cover, I did see Radiator insulation in Lidl the other day that I thought looked half decent, but as is always the case with things I see in Lidl, I didn't get it at the time and now have to wait until next time it arrives in store. Thanks for watching, and all the best for 2020!

Hi Trev, Have you tried putting your sleeping mat inside of your bivvy bag. I use a ex military bivvy bag and my mat and sleep system all fits inside it no problem . It solves the problem of rolling off your mat during the night. Give it a try and see how you get on. Keep them coming ,Cheers Alex.

[@SummitOrNothing]

Someone suggested that before, Alex, and I completely forgot until I was on my way home. It had been too long since I'd been out. Thanks for watching. Happy Christmas.

[@whitstablekayakbassfishing763]

Trev another awesome video, you're braver than me. I had the same issue with a sliding sleep pad, I'm not sure if you've seen any of melon bites videos but he gave a great tip to put a few dots of silicone sealant on the bottom of the pad. This worked really well for me I used bathroom sealant about ten dots, this along with my trekology alpha 2 pillow which has a strap has helped stop me sliding around. I also put my spare base layer over the pad as well. Keep up the great work

[@SummitOrNothing]

Ah, thats not a bad idea, a bit of silicone to help it stick - another one to try. Thanks for your comment, and for watching, Paul. All the best for 2020!

[@stonehill27]

I have Cloud up 1, the cheapest made with polyester. Haven't used it in bad weather yet. For price it's very good quality. And you get footprint included. My main complaint is lack of pegs. You must buy extra like mentioned in video. Bought my extra pegs from Wish. Better than included with tent.

Great vid. Too dark for too long for me. Roll on April. As said below, try putting the roll mat inside the bivvi bag. Also use a shirt/jumper to secure a pillow to the roll mat. (Shove the pillow inside the front of the jumper) it helps stop slipping and sliding

[@collisjeanette1019]

Hi Trev. Enjoyed this. Just to say I base camped from 20th to 27th December in Peak District. Weather was dismal. Kind of wish I"d taken the cloud up tent I won from you. Looks like it faired rather better than the tent I took (I went bigger as I took the dog). Actually spent four days in shower block as tent was hopeless for me personally. Anyway, just to ssy I used the down bag inside a 3 season bag and was toasty. Loved the mat. Used the nature hike mat and another similar strapped together with foam mat underneath, plus a wool blanket. Very comfy. I like your videos because you show the rough with the smooth. Camping ain't always a barrel of laughs. And yet we do it! I've been doing it for years (I'm 58) I hope to keep going until I can't. I've had some disasters, but seen some views and met some wonderful people. I fell over twice on this trip...that was before the rhubarb gin! Glad to be back in my bed though! I'll take the cloud up out in a week or too. Happy New Year to you and yours. Netta

[@SummitOrNothing]

Oh, hi Netta! Good job for making the effort to get out though, although I am sorry to hear that it wasn't very successful. Glad that the down bag came in handy! Yeah, the tent did ok, but as I mentioned in the video, I have tied another guy rope to the back window which has given substantial additional support, I recommend doing the same, there should be enough extra guy ropes in the pack though! As with my videos, I always show both sides, and have never professed to be a professional in any sense, I just do this because I enjoy it and love that it encourages others to get out and do it too. All the best, happy new year and stay safe on your travels!

[@collisjeanette1019]

@@SummitOrNothing It was successful because the Peaks are gorgeous. Lovely people too. Keep doing what you are doing. Its a great thing, and good not to edit out the tough bits. Wild xamping and hiking can be tough. I wish more young people would have a bash...it teaches resiliency and confidence in ones own ability. Women are always quiet fearful of solo camping, which seems a great pity to me. Its good for the soul and one pretty quickly learns respect for nature. Good on you! Ps...the nature hike bag is also brilliant gor slotting a mat and sleeping pad in to stop things moving about!

Just noticed I hadn’t watched this yet Trev.... nice one mate .... you toughed it out that night for sure but you and the little nature hike stood up to it it again just awesome ... couple of things to try for a better night sleep ...on the inflatable mat try letting some air out ... counter intuitive I know but if they are inflated too much when you put you weight on it they become as firm as a rock and you get this sliding around effect and frankly it feels like you are steeping on a plank as well . I blow mine up so it’s really soft then when I get on it I sink into it ... granted shoulders and hips are barely off the ground but you don’t slide around so much. Also get yourself some soft earplugs the ones for snoring ... I know they feel funny but after a short while you don’t notice them and it blocks out all the wind flappy noise, animal scuffling noises, trains and traffic noises, natives banjo playing 😳 etc ... I tell you they have helped me sleep on lots of one / two nighters when it could have been just miserable. Good luck on raising the Himalayas money ... you doing a fantastic thing Trev.... ATB mate 👍👍

[@SummitOrNothing]

Hi Dave - thabnks for watching! Yeah, this certainly was a fun camp haha! but we got through it. Just trying to work out my next one, now. Thanks very so much for the advice - I probably need to get ear plugs, everyone has told me, so I should take heed. And that probably makes a lot of sense about taking some air out of the mat - may try that too, although, I have just picked up a new self inflating mat that I am hopeing will mean I can get rid of the thermarest and the naturehike altogether. We'll see. Thanks for watching!

[@jdmccartney1]

i have a self inflating mat too ... awesome night sleep and if you are doing just a few miles so worth the extra weight ....again though just undo the valve and let it do it’s own thing self inflating ... don’t be tempted to blow in more air ... like sleeping on a plank! yup done that too 😂😂 looking forward to spring here in michigan so i can get out ... it’s too darn cold in our winters and i like my comfort 👍👍

Thanks very much - Happy new year to you and all the best for 2020!

[@DJVOutdoors]

Took my cloud up 2 out last night kinder scout winds got up to 45mph at one point but it held firm got no sleep though!

[@SummitOrNothing]

Yowsers!!! Bet that got hairy - have you tied off the rear window to an additional guyline - I think that has helped keep the arse end up!

[@DJVOutdoors]

@@SummitOrNothing yes cheers trev I didn’t do that after your suggestion.

[@INTENTONADVENTURE]

HI,Trev, love all the vids thanks. iv Decided to explore Dartmoor for 7 days 23 jan 2020, fingers crossed I survive lol. look forward to 2020 vids

[@SummitOrNothing]

Wow that sounds like quite a trip. You should manage to see most of it in that time I should think. Good luck with that, and thanks for watching! All the best and happy 2020!

Nice one Trev Roll on summer

[@SummitOrNothing]

Here bloody here! Hahah!

[@trueblue2124]

Great video ! - my first watch - looking forward to following you next year -

[@SummitOrNothing]

Thanks very much. Loads of content for you to catch up on if you're interested too. Thanks for watching!

[@deandre1988]

Can you elaborate on why you "save" your extra layers? I always put on more layers, immediately as i get cold. To conserve heat, for the cold night.

[@SummitOrNothing]

I was always told that you should always save layers to put on as the night gets colder, if you have all your layers on and its not enough, there's no where more to go, if that makes sense. It works for me, and also gives you things to look forward to too!

[@deandre1988]

@@SummitOrNothing alright so you won’t save a layer, just because it’s your last one, if you feel chilly? In other words, as the chill factor increases, you respond with more layers. Conversely, I make sure I don’t wear too many layers / overheat, as that causes sweating which cools me down later.

[@OUTDOORCRIB]

Im inspired watching your video to do solo camping. Now im stsrting collecting things for my first solo camp. New subscriber here

[@PaulMaloney]

Thanks for the vid Trev, just what I needed on a Boxing Day morning with the maps out in front of me. Merry Christmas.

[@SummitOrNothing]

Thanks Paul - hope you managed to get out somewhere nice! All the best and cheers for watching!

[@pauljones401]

All the best Trev! Hope your channel goes from strength to strength next year! Amazing film as always. Paul 👋

[@SummitOrNothing]

Cheers, Paul - will keep on keeping on and see where it takes me. Hope you're having a great Chrimbo mate - cheers for watching!

[@pauljones401]

Summit Or Nothing It’s been great! Hope to do some new places next year when I get a little lighter!!!! Paul

[@jennifermillardX]

Very Wild and Windy Camp X Really enjoy all your camps and you do show that it is possible to camp in all conditions X You need to take a pack of playing cards with you and play 'Add Poker' instead of 'Strip Poker' Add some piece of clothing when you lose, but then again your the only one playing so you should win every time X Looking forward to all your adventures in 2020 X

[@SummitOrNothing]

Haha... That sounds like a great idea, Jennifer. May try that in future lol. Thanks for watching, hope you had a great Christmas!

[@outdoorsgeorge6896]

Love it Trevor, I’ve watched a few of your reviews on different equipment the past few days and I’m hoping to get to Dartmoor myself soon and see this pop up, so thought I’d watch and see, all I can say is I watched every minute of this and you had me laughing out loud 🤣 which isn’t easy to do so thanks bud, and cheers for the video. George 👍🏻😂 oh and I just subscribed buddy cheers again!

[@SummitOrNothing]

Brilliant! Really glad that you enjoyed this video... not that its a comedy or nothing though 😂 Thanks for watching, hope you reach Dartmoor before too long! Cheers!

[@GMiller75]

You should try putting a waterproof picnic blanket on the floor of the tent. Makes a difference especially if you tend to slide about and adds an extra wee layer between you and the cold ground.

[@SummitOrNothing]

That's a great idea, kind of like a carpet. Bet that's snug actually. Probably take up half of my pack though.

[@trevorhill1577]

Great video thanks. Useful review of the CloudUp2. Did that nylon flysheet dry out quickly in the morning? Looks like you packed it dry.

[@turdwarbler]

HI, thats isnt a sell by date, its a best before date, so its perfectly ok to eat........................................I think. :-)

[@SummitOrNothing]

Isn't a best before date not as giving as a sell by date? Regardless, the consensus seems to be eat the damn thing, so I think I will soon. Cheers for watching, Michael!

[@tooyoungtobeold8756]

Love the video and masochism of it all. I quite envy you really

[@joliecatina3206]

Great video mate! Love it

[@SummitOrNothing]

Cheers Jolie!

[@lauragriffithsoutdoors]

This reminds me of a night I had once on sheeptor, I was so tired the next day I just went to sleep in all my wet clothes when I got home! It was similar weather and I was on a slope too lol. Well done for sticking it out. Have you done cullver steps? It’s flat and slightly sheltered, and an amazing swim spot

[@SummitOrNothing]

I've walked past there but not camped. Not swam either, I have the body of ET so wouldn't want to scare anyone who may pass by lol. Thanks for watching

[@jamieedwards9973]

ive got the cloud up 1, i noticed in your vid that you didnt peg out the bottom guy line that connects the inner to the outer. it makes a huge difference as i found out recently in the lake district. love the vids keep up the great work.

[@SummitOrNothing]

Its a great tent - I do peg the bottom bit, but dont fully extend the guy line - I have it pegged up tight to the inner, but still pulled enough to separate the inner and outer. I think that Naturehike make some fantastic tents - I have used this one a lot, but last year, I found that the Vik 1 is awesome for fair weather camping. Really lightweight.

[@tdiler12]

I never figured to weigh those used canisters. Clever. Could never figure how much gas each really holds.

[@SummitOrNothing]

Yea - I often go through and weigh them, then take the most partially filled ones! Not a bad 'hack' as they like to say these days!

[@dronexfun8469]

You're an expert at pegging.😊 Thanks for sharing.

[@SummitOrNothing]

🤣🤣

[@soggz4246]

Hullo. Looked like a great night out! Maybe try earplugs next time?

[@kisertherednose]

We do it BC it's who we are. I just done 2days by betws y coed last weekend, was abit lively same again next weekend 😉

[@SummitOrNothing]

Yea, its soon forgotten once we get home, eh? Thanks for watching!

[@dynamo127]

Nice one mate. I've been there myself - stuck in a blowing tent on an endless dark and wet night. It's always good to see the true reality of some wild camps. Keep the faith :)

[@SummitOrNothing]

Thanks very much for watching, I do try and document my camps as happen - the good with the bad, warts and all haha. Happy New Year!

[@naturallawprinciples]

Tent held up alright eh, considering the weather, to the wind & rain.....tha mentioned feeling a bit chilly, but tha knows what Meatloaf says, 2 outta 3 ain't bad. Just looked tent description & specs up, for an Ultralight it definitely did well. I see Naturehike reckon's on it's ok for mountaineering...i'll say this about tent manufacturers, generally they are an optimistic bunch.

[@SummitOrNothing]

Its stood up in some strong winds over the years - pays to have a guy line to the rear window, seems to give it a lot more strength, without it the back wants to flatten quite easy. But, out of all the tents that I use, its my favourite, for sure !

[@TheQNSzzz]

Can empathise! I tried to cross a muddy field on Xmas eve following a walking path - hopping over water logged trenches, sank in mud up to the shins, fell over several times and trying to pull out my legs against mud suction 😂 A tad disconcerting to say the least! 😆 Nice vid btw 👍🎅

[@SummitOrNothing]

That sounds horrendous - we have had some serious rain as of late. Enough now! Stay safe out there, and thanks for watching!

[@mhavissl3141]

Just landed on your channel. That's a great adventure here man. Are you still satisfied with the tent? How is it doing? Am looking forward to buy one.

[@SummitOrNothing]

Thanks! Glad that you enjoyed the video - hope you can sub and enjoy more from our channel. The tent... I love it!!! Has done me really proud, have out it through its paces and really enjoy taking it out... usually lol.

[@pen2199]

i like your vids man

[@SummitOrNothing]

Thanks very much! Glad that you enjoy them!

[@AlanHill]

What jacket were you wearing during your walk to location?

[@SummitOrNothing]

Its an OEX waterproof jacket - its OK but doesn't seem to let moisture out very well. I would have shared a link but Go Outdoors OEX stock seems to have diminished lately.

[@rodnewman6519]

Excellent video, I live on Dartmoor so this is literally on my stomping ground. I’m often out wild camping but I have to confess I’m not a great fan of the colder nights at my age 😂🤪

[@SummitOrNothing]

Yea - its a great place, alright - bit bloody damp at the moment - but this camp had been a looong time coming. Thanks for watching! All the best!

[@LeeJCander]

Loving your videos man! If you had a budget of £160 Ish give or take and were based up Scotland what tent would you buy? For one person, quite big, hiking Cairngorms etc.

[@SummitOrNothing]

Thanks Lee. Glad you enjoy them mate. If I was heading up in the cairngorms then I'd possible be looking for a geodesic dome tent, or something low lying like a tunnel tent. The vango Mirage is a large dome tent but quite a bit heavier.. check out our viewers top ten tents vids and see which tent you think may suit you. kzbin.info/www/bejne/fWXSaJuqZ9VkhZo

[@LeeJCander]

@@SummitOrNothing thanks I'll check it out after work! Would you steer away from the cloud up 2 20D? I live in Wales but based in sunny Scotland so these are the places I'll likely use it most 😊

[@peeloutdoors7746]

Buy yourself a cheap roll of now slip mat from amazon/eBay and cut it to length you need.. Put it between your sleeping bag and roll matt and trust me you worn keep sliding off, works a treat 👌

[@peeloutdoors7746]

Also some earplugs for the wind

[@SummitOrNothing]

Cheers, Peel. I will look it up. All the best and thanks for watching!

[@TravellingTorunn]

Happy new year Trev 😊 Hopefully with a lot of new great adventures 👍 Now - get inside and enjoy Christmas with your family 😃 This looked very cold 😱😃

[@SummitOrNothing]

Thanks Torunn, hopefully have an even fuller year that 2019 - fingers crossed! all the best and thanks for watching!

[@gruffydd1000]

How would the vango mirage 200 have been in that situation? I know you have that tent and would really appreciate an answer because it's my backpacking tent.

[@SummitOrNothing]

I actually don't have the mirage - that one belongs to Nath - but being a geodesic design it would probably have fared up pretty well to be honest! A Decent tent, the mirage!

Merry Christmas Trevor , man that looked COLD... When was this ? sureky not Christmas night 😂

[@SummitOrNothing]

And to you, Gary. This was the 22nd of December - had moments where it was colder than others, but I wrapped up ok. Hoping this gear will be good enough for a proper winter camp if it snows soon - that'll be the test, I reckon. Thanks for watching!
