Wet and wild camping in Storm Aiden | Heavy rain and strong winds

[@billbryan8943]

Great views. Loved the water shots. There's something to hunkering down, protected from the weather, and making it through the storm.

[@MontyOutdoors]

My favourite conditions, Bill! All snug under in a tent with a movie :)

A good test for the tents!!!!!

[@MontyOutdoors]

They all performed brilliantly mate. No need to spend hundreds on a tent when a Vango does the job and zero condensation.

Thanks again for the assistance mate. Ended up accessing via the viaduct. The weather was ideal conditions for a camp and a video 😂. Thanks again mate, and for watching 'n' commenting 👍

[@bechabeemusic915]

Very nice video and filming, goodluck to you ❤️ ❤️ ❤️

Thank you. Really do appreciate and love these comments. Glad you enjoyed it 😊

Magic video again & what a cracking place to camp , looked just perfect..

Have you ever camped in anything as mental as that before? How's Lexi anyway, mate? Hope both of you are well.

[@dekprei]

Amazing camping!

[@MontyOutdoors]

Thanks man, glad you enjoyed :D

[@WalkWithWallace]

Just a tad wet, looked a good trip though. 😁

[@MontyOutdoors]

My waterproofs were not waterproof, Robin. Money is tight right now, but these will be the next investments 😂. Cheers for watching, mate. Can't wait to see Gaz' and Steve's perspectives.

[@WalkWithWallace]

@@MontyOutdoors aye you'll want to invest in decent waterproofs like. ☔ Will look out for Steve and Gary's efforts. Too. 👍🏻

[@MontyOutdoors]

Skint at the moment - new flat. You able to recommend any decent ones? The OEX ones are awful. Fuck knows what I was thinking. haha.

[@terrypatterson1481]

I've only camped once in a storm- the back end of Hurricane Katrina in Enniskillen in Ireland- never again - the rain was coming down that heavy it was hard to draw breath. Good vlog though Monty - cheers.

[@MontyOutdoors]

How did the tent fair up to the winds? They must have been around 70mph?

[@NotAnotherAdventure]

That, is a lot of rain! But it looks like you had a great time!

[@MontyOutdoors]

Do you not prefer it when it rains when you are camping? I find it therapeutic 😊

[@NotAnotherAdventure]

@@MontyOutdoors I do as well! But I don't own any waterproof trousers so I like it to stop by the time I've packed and start to walk haha, need to invest I think!

[@MontyOutdoors]

Same mate. My "waterproofs" are not waterproof or breathable so I just bring extra thermals and stay in the bag. A good pair cost a bomb and I'm skint! I dont mind packing by in it, but walking to and your clothes being wet the entire weekend... urgh.

[@EventyrsorenDenmark]

Really Nice video and Beautiful nature. 😅😊🤗

Thanks, mate 🤗. Do you get out much yourself?

[@furiousfudge8240]

Magic. Hopefully get rain this weekend when away but looking pretty clean just now will manage a swim. Silver lining i suppose 🤷‍♂️

[@MontyOutdoors]

It's a dry, but slightly cool one. Loch Katrine was one of my favourite swims. So fucking peaceful mate.

[@tps3057]

It was spitting n a bit of a breeze lol

[@MontyOutdoors]

Thank God I pitched inside the woods man lol

[@blinkspacestudio8892]

I always found it really hard to sleep when the trees are making all that wind noise. If the rain is really heavy it can be exciting but sometimes a bit un nerving too. I guess thats why its such a buzz when you only have a think layer between you and the craziness outside.

[@MontyOutdoors]

Yeah, I don't particularly like the trees creaking, but the likelihood of one hitting you is astronomically small. I tree has came falling towards me once and thankfully the tree next to it stopped it. Wasn't pleasant, Susan. It was not pleasant lol. The rain I love, heavier the better! Wind not so much... but I agree with your last statement. It epitomises self reliance if that makes sense? Thank your for the comment Susan, and I hope all is well :)

[@stevesdaysoff2759]

Hello Monty. You put that video together great. I had a good time with you both. Apart from that bloody mouse eating my bun 🤣. Really enjoyed watching. Thanks Steve 👍

[@MontyOutdoors]

Great job Monty, scenic shots in between the heavy rain were very therapeutic along with the cosy tent 👍

[@MontyOutdoors]

You are welcome, sir, and I'm glad you enjoyed. Here's hoping for more adverse conditions in a more exposed spot. I found this too easy 😛.

[@briancampbell3959]

Another great video! I love these proper wild camps you do. I'm itching to get back out there but had too much going on all year. Only managed one night in the hammock. I'm gonnna just make some me time cause I need to escape this weekend for a wee chill out.

[@MontyOutdoors]

When was the last time you were out mate and where is it you're from? Glad my videos feed your habit! It's what keeps me inspired. Where do you normally camp/hammock at?

[@briancampbell3959]

Hi Monty, I've not been out for about three months. I stay in bathgate and have just been in the local woods with my hammock. The last few years have been in big tents family camping but love getting out in the wild away from everything.

[@MontyOutdoors]

I'm just roon the corner from you and Gaz is from Bathgate too. I'd love to experience the big tents on a campsite. Growing up I did campsites all over UK and Europe. Need to get myself a woman and weans 1st!

[@briancampbell3959]

Wow, small world. I didny realise how local everyone was. I didn't manage to get out tonight but I'll get out again soon hopefully. When I was growing up all our holidays were camping in a big orange frame tent with my sisters and parents. I never appreciated until now the effort my dad went to, dragging it up hills all over Scotland and doing several trips back and forth to the car to get us all set up. I struggle with a heavy backpack lol. I'm sure the woman and weins will come when you're ready, but be carefull what you wish for. That's how I'm no gettin oot! ;(

[@MontyOutdoors]

@@briancampbell3959 I was in Airdrie, but moving to Cumbernauld. Your Da would take you up the hills and go back to the car to collect more? Serious effort although my mate's have done similar. Doing multiple walks with heavy gear. Especially on the West Highland Way. And I am bad when it comes to overpacking my backpack and crying when it becomes too difficult 😂. Come to think of it mate. You may just be right...

[@manitobabushcraftingandrev9592]

Nice vid no swearing in it, I like that, I was looking to buy the same tent as you but could not get one delivered to canada, so I went with the robens starlight 1 it turned out to be a nice little tent, kinda snug but I'm happy with it so far , tested it twice in -26c and then once in -14c

[@MontyOutdoors]

As much as I love swearing - I'm Scottish lol - I hate including them in my videos. It just doesn't come across well on a public channel and shows zero concern for others. If you've seen my other videos I tell people off and myself when we swear/slip up 😂. Yeah, the Robens would be a better purchase. I think it's more like the Nevis, but they are similar. Is the Starlight got two poles at the bottom rather than a hoop? My mate has it, it's a great wee tent and he's had it out in the wind. Jealous of those temps, mate. Coldest we generally experience is a chilly -2 to -8. Thanks for the comment 😄

[@manitobabushcraftingandrev9592]

@@MontyOutdoors it has 4 end poles and a main pole across the middle ,I couldn't get it taught until I figured out the webbing that goes across under the tent was to tight, check out my overnighter with it if you wanna see it in extreme cold.

[@MontyOutdoors]

Aye mate. It's stressful getting gear as it's expensive and there's a lot of reviewing behind the scenes. The amount of crap I initially bought... urgh. Hope you're out soon 👍

[@DensumRanger]

Criky Monty thats some rain lol, lovely area, me & kenny hike around the hills there, good to see Steve out with you, yes the Hilibergs seem to get wet through condensation not good, I can't wait to get back out myself once work calms down, keep the films coming

[@MontyOutdoors]

Mate, for a good hour or 2 it was just not wise to leave the tent. My waterproofs are not waterproof 😂. I hope your work calms down, mate. I can only imagine the torture as I've been there during lockdown not being able to get out. It's not pleasant. Appreciate you watching again, cheers.

This was a fantastic trip and definitely one of the best trips I’ve had this year. That wind and rain was brutal for me when I was packing away. You both seemed to have better weather for packing away than I did. Your Banshee looked great in that weather from my tent when I looked over on Saturday morning. I would definitely come back to this Loch again for a camp. Another good camp Monty👍

[@MontyOutdoors]

I loved it, mate. Great people to be with, great banter, and there's something about spending most of the time in a tent during a storm! Did the MSR get exposed to any strong bursts where you were? I was 100% dry in it and I'd like to revisit during a colder, drier day so we can get a toasty fire next time. Great result for your team too 👍

[@GazTheExplorer]

The MSR performed really well in the rain. I was in a sheltered spot as well so I can’t judge how it would of been in the wind if we were exposed. Such a good camp and I enjoyed the evening as well👍 Hopefully we will get another camp done once this bad spell of Covid has passed.
