Van Life Vlog - Wildcamping on Goat Fell

[@TREADtheglobe]

enjoyed your video - we're looking forward to travelling full time in the next few months - in Trudy the TREAD van :)

[@annar6430]

I am binge watching your amazing trecks

[@bryantford3054]

I'm impressed with your videos. Your videography & editing both make them a joy to watch. Thanks for cleaning up after yourselves. You live the photographer's credo: Take nothing but pictures. Leave nothing but footprints.

[@theindieprojects]

Thanks Bryant, glad you're enjoying them :) definitely leave no trace, it's not fair on the environment or others if you leave rubbish etc...

[@Think-About-It]

Bryant Ford No, don't leave any footprints if you can.

[@AprilleShepherd]

Thanks so much guys for taking us with you to the top of Goat Fell ! The walk down looks a bit easier! Well done on the midge slaying !

[@theindieprojects]

Aprille Shepherd thanks for watching! It was great, so glad we didn't get too many midges in there

[@rvpandamonium]

+Stevo 1971 agree - just found this channel

[@0HARE]

What a great little adventure! I really enjoyed it. Thanks, also, for showcasing your camping equipment. Good gear makes the difference. Your clean camping ethic is appreciated, as well. Leave it like you found it (or better), pack it in, pack it out, leave no trace, etc. Best of Luck to you two

[@theindieprojects]

cheers!

[@colinhulme6389]

Thanks for continuing to entertain us! It would be pretty neat if you could flash up a trail on a map for where youve been around scotland so we can follow along :)

[@theindieprojects]

Cheers Colin! That's a great idea we'll see what we can do 👌

[@paulmckee6071]

[@theindieprojects]

[@spicy6892]

Absolutely amazing, going there in 2 weeks for a 4 day wild camp, never been to the Scottish Isles. How was the midge situation overall? Do you remember the exact location to that car park and roughly how long did it take to get to the top of the fell? Thanks in advance!

[@atyl1972]

Cracking photo at 5:38, also whats the tent like as this is one that I'm currently looking into getting for wild camping

[@theindieprojects]

+atyl1972 Cheers! It's a fantastic tent, incredibly light weight and a very well thought out design. We tend to split the tent (poles in one bag, tent body in other) into two when hiking together to lighten the load even more. After using it through the Kungsleden in Sweden we found that a good way to keep the tent as dry as possible in wet weather, especially if it's raining continuously every day and you can't dry it, would be to also purchase a ground sheet (it doesn't come with one to make it even lighter) and keep all the parts in separate dry bags to try and keep as much moisture away from the inside as we did end up having a damp inner tent due to it being packed in with a soaking wet outer cover and no ground sheet. Hope that makes sense!

[@sisu7633]

Take only pictures and leave only footprints! Well said guys about leaving no evidence of your overnight camp. 👍😀

[@theindieprojects]

:)

[@brewatch]

Does it feel like coming home from a vacation when you return to van from a night of tent camping? Those were amazing views!

[@theindieprojects]

brewatch Yes it totally does! Really great place to camp :)

[@2007zodiac]

Hi there, Great video by the way, I just wanted to know, is that backpack of yours the lowepro pro-rover 35 or 45?, looking to buy either, but I'm struggling to find any? Also is it possible to fit the tent in the top-segment? Many thanks in advance. Ps, I also subscribed!!.

[@theindieprojects]

+2007zodiac thanks for the message! I think it's the 45, it's a good sized bag but when we're overnighting somewhere with the tent and my camera gear I don't have room in the top for the tent which is why I strap it at the bottom which isn't too bad :)

[@wendywilson5181]

Theo, what is the model of that Thermarest sleeping pad?

[@theindieprojects]

Wendy Mayo it's the Thermarest NeoAir Xlite, fantastic for hiking

[@samarmstrong4160]

What's the nam of your tent?
