SURVIVING 36 Hour SNOWSTORM In A Tent For EPIC Photo

SURVIVING 36 Hour SNOWSTORM In A Tent For EPIC Photo
Join me on a hiking expedition to the Drakensberg mountains in South Africa, where we braved an epic snowstorm for 2 nights, camping above the tallest waterfall on Earth, the Tugela Falls.
The conditions were incredible, with snow falling heavily and the mist engulfing the landscape.
Did the mist ever clear and reveal the incredible landscape and afford us opportunities for landscape photography? Watch my video to find out!

Hi Mark. Your patience paid off with some wonderful landscape images. You should now qualify for a bumper sticker that reads 'Ski South Africa' 🦁🦁

Thanks a lot man! 👊🏻

[@MikeKatona]

Enjoyed the video, thank you. This comes from a guy that lives in eastern Oregon that has 2-3' of snow in his yard for five months of the year. Keep up the great work.

[@MarkDumbleton]

Thanks so much for watching Mike. That’s a lot of snow! Appreciate the comment and the support 😊

[@KobusTollig1]

Wow amazing scenes and such a beautiful video. The shots at the end makes it all worth it. Can’t wait to get up there with you one day.

[@MarkDumbleton]

Thanks so much Kobus! We must make a plan to go up there!

[@TheSafariExpert]

BEAUTIFULLY filmed, Mark! 🤩 I can’t tell you how much I enjoyed that. And the pacing was perfect 🙌🏻

[@MarkDumbleton]

Thanks so much Villiers! Appreciate that a lot coming from you! Hope you well mate!

Amazing

Thanks so much! Thanks for watching!

[@williamryan3254]

@@MarkDumbleton Always lekker to see local content. Was this filmed around the same time JHB has "snow" ?

[@MarkDumbleton]

It was filmed last weekend, so it’s very fresh. That JHB snow was amazing right? Haven’t seen snow like that in JHB for a very long time.

[@c.cambon3539]

Hi Mark, what amazing is your video! Could you telle me when precisely you where in drakensberg? I'm going there within a few days and I'm trying to define which clothes to wear... Thank's in advance for your answer and starving for your next videos !

[@MarkDumbleton]

Thanks for watching and for the comment. I was there on 20 July this year. There won’t be any snow as it melts very quickly, but it will still be pretty chilly, especially if the wind is blowing.

[@izakgreyling8872]

What sleeping bag and sleeping mat did you use?

[@MarkDumbleton]

Hi, I use a Thermaresr Neo Air X-Lite sleeping pad, with a Rab Neutrino 600 Sleeping bag. I also use thermal liner in the sleeping bad as well as a SOL Bivy bag to keep the sleeping bag dry. In snow, the tent gets heavy with condensation so you absolutely must keep your sleeping bag dry.

[@izakgreyling8872]

@@MarkDumbleton thanks. I assume you had to import the sleeping bag?

[@MarkDumbleton]

I did, got it from a shop in the UK. Amazing quality!

[@0835037640]

Amazingly Captured Mark. Where you guys not tempted to use the hut on the escarpment. Hopefully ur sleeping bags kept u guys nice and warm and cozy

[@MarkDumbleton]

Thanks so much! Not tempted at all, part of the experience for me is surging using everything I carried up there. There is nothing wrong with the hut, it’s relatively clean at the moment, but I prefer being out in my tent. Our gear kept us toasty, never got cold while sleeping.
