Lovely video. I liked the ambience; is a nice mix up from regular talking videos. But also like your regular, chatting videos too. Both are great :)

[@NoviceWildCamper]

Thanks Jack. I think I'll carry on with the usual but if the mood suits maybe one like this another time. 👍

[@JenniferLupine]

Nice spot to pitch your tent- still very windy! Whew! Cool rock formations! 👍⛰⛰

[@NoviceWildCamper]

Thanks Jennifer. It was pretty much the only spot that was flat and not being battered by the winds. And yes, stunning rocks around there. Thanks for watching 👍

🤣 cheers Tony. I think I prefer my normal style but might do another if the mood seems right 👍

[@rialobran]

Nice spot, not been over that way in years. May have to do something about that sometime soon.

Cheers buddy. It is a really nice area and bit a long walk if you don't have too much time. Loads of pitches but not sheltered apart from that one I got and it just fitted. 👍

Thoroughly enjoyed this video Michael thank you. I especially enjoyed how you utilised your trekking poles to increase the lanshan. The mini pump /light combo looks good.too! Er, any reason why you never wear a hat please. AND will you stop eating those flipping excessively processed noodles (posh or otherwise ). You make a ready prepared breakfast after all!!!!, 🤣🤣🤣 ps I’m so glad that like so many others on KZbin you’ve not ‘sold out’ to patreons/ merchandise etc etc. I know you receive little rewards for your efforts, but I for one appreciate and value what you do. Thank you

Ah thanks soo. I get a little from youtube apparently but never been paid yet. You have to make x amount of money before they warrant you special enough to be paid 😂 and why do I need a hat? It's not cold enough yet. Or are you just suggesting I need to cover my balding patch? 😂 this is the new pump come out. Will use it a while and then do a review on it. Great bit of kit so far. 🙏👍

Ah I trued something different. I really want to go with a quilt so left my sleeping bag unzipped and on top with my feet in like a quilt.

[@simonbarber8674]

Another nice little vid . How do you find the Flanagan 1 plus now you've had it some time as I'm waiting for it to come back into stock and ready to buy , all my tents are 2 kg and looks ideal for a multi day that I hop ing to do this year. Lovely views.

[@NoviceWildCamper]

I love it. A little tight inside but so small and light to pack and decent vestibule. Works in most weather's. Might look at the 2 as well but would have to be the pro as the standard isnt big enough.

Cheers Lee. I think I'll go back to normal, for a bit at least. And yeah loving this tent 👍

[@blackmountainadventures]

@@NoviceWildCamper how dose it hold up in the winds? Using the trekking poles makes it look quite sturdy.

[@NoviceWildCamper]

I mainly use them for the extra head and leg room as I need it and the carbon pole for the main pole. Held up well that night buy be interesting to see it in really bad wind, which will no doubt happen soon 😂

[@boyzinthewood1]

Quite a different video style on this one Mike but obviously you know that as you made it haha Did you strap the camera to your leg for that shot at the start? or was it just held down low? You did a more accurate version of a quiet video than Dais haha not that there was anything wrong with Dais (just in case he reads this) but you didn't have music blaring out half way through lol. Do you ever get a wind free day on the Tors! Always seems windy or wet... reminds me of Wales. I really do like the idea of camping amongst the rocks like that though and using them, as a natural wind break and fire reflector. I genuinely like this style of video equally as I do the ones where you don't shut up to be honest so please do some more in the future but don't lose your sexy husky man voice completely !!

[@NoviceWildCamper]

I also didn't say "this is a silent video" half way through 😂 I just had the phone on the tripod upside down and slung low. Gives another perspective. Yeah I liked the solent one as I feel sometimes we can drone on a bit, feedback is mixed so I might do another. Plus it's so much easier to film and edit 🤣 no getting my limes wrong or worrying about mic or wind noise 😂 👍

[@frederickridall628]

Enjoyed this video, Michael. I've noticed you never seem to bother with a windshield for your stove. Any particular reason for that? I got one of those little pump things for my Thermarest recently. Mine doesn't have a light though. Looked very spongy and wet. Are some of the Dartmoor mires actually dangerous or is that just a myth born of the Hound of the Baskervilles? I seem to remember reading somewhere that Raybarrow Pool is a place to avoid. I've only ever visited Dartmoor once. Many moons ago now. Got my Cranmere Pool letter box stamp! Watching your videos is making me contemplate a return visit someday. Would make a nice change to be able to camp without looking over my shoulder all the time. Take care.

[@NoviceWildCamper]

I got a windshield for it but didn't work so am working on adapting it or changing all together. The pump is great. This is the new pro 2 version. So powerful. As well as being a light it will charge your electrics too. Dartmoor can be dangerous. There are some real deep bogs there but I generally keep to the paths and when I have gone off oath I've used my trekking poles or just been extremely careful with my footing and testing of the ground. I've seen people drop through up to their knees in it before and if you were alone with no emergency signal could be bad news. 🙏👍

[@frederickridall628]

@@NoviceWildCamper 👍

[@frederickridall628]

@@NoviceWildCamper Thinking of ordering the pro 2 version of the pump. How do you find the battery life. What I mean is, if you charge your phone once does that drain it so it's no longer any good to inflate your mat. Would it be any good do you think as a multi task device if you were away for three nights?

[@NoviceWildCamper]

I would have it as a back up. Only because I film all the time on my phone so need to charge twice (once during filming and then overnight) I have an anker powercore 20000mah pack which I can get at least 3 charges out of for my galaxy s20 ultra. I've only used this pump twice now and only once as a lamp. From that perspective its great as the evenings are dark from around 6.30 and I had it on till very late then again at half six in the morning for around an hour and half and was still going strong. I saw someone do a video of how many times he could pump his trekologoy ul80 which is a big pad and he did it 41 times before the battery ran out. I am going to get some use out of it in different scenarios including charging and then do a full review. I would happily use it for multi day use as a lamp and pump as it only took a few second to pump my pad up as you can see so you'd only do that two or three times and the rest for light 👍

[@NoviceWildCamper]

@@frederickridall628 that one was the pro 2 by the way in case I didn't mention.

[@ridz9532]

Her mate, how long does the Pump/lantern last. Been a tight arsed Yorkshireman I begrudge paying £25 for a pump. if the light last a few hours I might consider. Does the pump deflate too? Love your vids been a long time subber

[@NoviceWildCamper]

Cheers buddy. This pump is the pro 2, the new version. Bigger battery than the tiny. I've seen it pump up 41 UL80 mats before dying. It will deflate as well you just use the other port. Regarding the light, I turned it on around six till about 11.30 then again at 6 in the morning till light. Worked perfect. I'm going to to a proper test review but probably not for a week or so. 👍

[@shaunspencer6437]

And now for something completely different 😂😂 I'm wondering if you was being very experimental here or just didn't feel like talking or perhaps a bit of both. Anyway it was a nice change to the usual where your basically telling a story through imagery only. Even the wind noise that usually everybody tries to get rid of added to it. 😉😀

[@NoviceWildCamper]

More experimental but also I think you get more of a feel for what it's like alone on the moors when there's no music or talking. Gives it more of a sense of reality I think.

[@Camp-N-Wilddragon]

Right where do I start? First off a OK video, well really good actually. Took me half way through the video to realise it was a silent one. I was wondering why my head wasn't hurting. Enjoyed the cinematic shots and 2 coffees. I just picked up another box of them, but a different type so look out. People are going to love the change in my own video. Talking of my own video yet to realise, I made an attempt to make it a silent video and ballsed it all up. So it will be a partial silent video. I'm also glad I inspired you with the cook system I have, I see you done the same. Your not quite down to 550ml yet but I'm sure you will get there one day. Really enjoyed your video. I know your looking forward to mine, but you will need patience. Hope all is well from your fellow KZbinr dai.

[@NoviceWildCamper]

Hadn't noticed your cook set tbh. Thought you ways used jetboil? I've been after that set up a long time. Don't want 550ml as it won't fit everything inside like gas, stove, stand, cloth and lid 👍 looks roward to your next one
