WET AND WINDY WILD CAMPING - PHDesigns Kit Test - Cautley Spout Yorkshire Dales UK PHD

[@palmyrafoxy6860]

Thank you for the scenery/fresh air/the danger!!!/and the PHDesign clothing. Blue is lovelier by t he posts! how sweet was the reaction when you fell: it immediately came towards you and followed you intensely. So nice to have gone out owing to you.

[@Phil-earnshaw]

you and Blue are the morecombe and wise of the camping world, what i mean by that is you give off the feelgood factor! how you only have 48.9k subs is beyond me i share your content with all my friends and hopefully they have suscribed as well, also you are a good advertisement for this beautiful country of ours and if only everyone listened to leave no trace it would be even better, thanks for the journey again 🙂

[@BUSHMANandBLUE]

Thanks Phil and sharing my channel is exactly what I need 👊. We should do a Morcombe and Wise breakfast sketch😂

You can always ignore the product advice that Al gives in these vids and go and do your own thing, but not everybody has the knowledge/experience of camping products and the best types to use in certain weather conditions. He’s been there, seen it and done it. Not sure you would find a better camping enthusiast than Al who could give you frank and honest advice about what to use. Sure, he might get benefits from advertising them, but so what! He deserves it. He’s the one who is putting up with the crap weather conditions to entertain us all when all said and done. And of course, there Blue as well. The vids would never the same without him would they!

Blue is such a lucky dog he's having the best life...your videos are always amazing and this one didn't dissapoint ..you do fantastic work thx for sharing ..

Cautley Spout my local walk. Been up there at night in a full moon. Saw my first 'moonbow' in the waterfall spray. If you haven't already, try Wildboar Fell near Kirkby Stephen just up the road. 703m high. Now that's another great walk with spectacular views across the Howgills and Yorkshire Dales. Hell of a wild place in the snow.

[@andrew_hikes]

Thanks for showing us the new kit Al. I find your reviews helpful. Your down jacket seemed to loft really well. Gram counting isn’t for everyone but it makes such a difference on multi-day thru hikes - often worth the extra £ in my opinion. Good to support UK businesses if you can afford to. Atb

[@BUSHMANandBLUE]

Yes gram counting is necessary but everyone has their limit to suit their needs. I’m going to test some of this kit where it will be needed. I might have to do a multi day ultra😉

[@charlesperry1051]

Really beautiful waterfall. Blue really likes the cooler weather.

[@BUSHMANandBLUE]

He definitely prefers winter as all summer he’s too hot.

[@MrBrianc1975]

Another top notch video. That pitch was in a great position and the down Michelin man kit looked toasty. Nice of you to fall in the waterfall deliberately for our viewing pleasure!

😂 luckily I fell well

[@iantucker1904]

Oh my goodness, did not see the tumble coming! Fantastic recovery!!!!

[@Peter-Lindsay]

I went for a walk up Cautley Spout back in March, there was a little bit snow down and parts of the waterfall were frozen, stunning scenery. I then walked up onto Great Dummacks, Calders, Bram Rigg, The Calf and then dropped down to Bowderdale Beck and up onto Yarlside. Fantastic walk. Great video Al

PHD Designs...the Rolls Royce of down kit. One of a scarce handful of elite companies that use real 1000fp & take bespoke custom orders. I can only dream of such quality in my kit...! Finally got my knee working again as best as it’ll get, so time to get out there again. I’ve dropped the hammer on a new pack (BlindBanana custom pack in ultra TX) so when that arrives...I’m off to the winter wonderland of Norway. Your videos have kept me hiking vicariously while sat on the bench...& this one was no different. Appreciate all the effort you do to bring these adventures to us. All the best..! .Wish.

[@BUSHMANandBLUE]

Yes PHD are next level with the use of 1000 fill power down and top quality materials. The fact that everything is custom made to order makes their company and each item unique for the individual to fit their body and adventure needs. I’m glad you’ll be back out. Enjoy your adventures 👍👍👍

[@bigmoncrief6071]

Love your gear reviews. Just a thought, maybe you could take a couple of (lightweight) digital thermometers with max/min settings to give an idea of how different the temp is in the tent to outside and also what your gear is coping with.

Yes definitely especially in winter. I fit one in my van👌

[@lorrainesimpkin8385]

[@tubulzr]

Great walk, pretty waterfall, awesome pitch location with stunning view. Nice. Spacious storm proof tent with the double vestibule, plenty of room for a dog-bedroom and a kitchen indeed. Regarding temps of 5°C, perhaps a decent silk liner for the sleeping bag would suffice. Adds about 5°C and weighs about 130 grams (I'm 1.88m.) It doesn't allow you to walk around camp comfy easily though. It's pretty hard actually. 😉. But it's a great option to increase the comfort rating of your available sleeping bag.

[@BUSHMANandBLUE]

Yes I think liners are great and I have a few but don’t often use them. I generally just wear leggings etc. Thanks mate👍

😂 far from perfect but we all have to keep going in life👍👍👍

[@stevec-b6214]

Another wonderful Bluey dog video, with some hairy guy tagging along. Re: expensive kit generally, this camping we all love, is a pretty cheap pastime compared to many others, so I don`t feel any `buyers remorse` when I use the best kit I can.

[@BUSHMANandBLUE]

We can all manage with cheaper kit for wild camping and it doesn’t take away at all from the experience. I guess the more expensive kit is honed towards safety and speed in the extreme expedition or multi day events where warmth to weight ratio really counts. Given the choice we’d all pack lighter but for the cost, in less challenging situations, it’s not always worth it when the outcome is still the same. Cheers Steve👍

Al, only two things would get me up while it was still dark outside on a weekend morning--your new video or the house being on fire. Fortunately it was the former, and worth being awake for! Loved the waterfall and the views. Sorry about the slip, though. Must have been cold walking back down after that.

[@BUSHMANandBLUE]

😂 well hopefully both would give you a little warmth😂. It wasn’t too cold walking but stood still with the drone I felt it. Better on the way back though👍

[@azclaimjumper]

I didn't blink, not once. Thoroughly enjoyed every second. I admit that I've NOT looked to see how much any pieces of your kit cost. The drone footage of the waterfall was the crowning touch. I was having trouble keeping my feet warm at night inside my sleeping bag until I bought a pair of 100% overfilled Goosefeet brand of down booties, now my feet stay toasty warm all night. I was somewhat surprised, considering the windy conditions that you didn't feel the need to put any big heavy rocks atop any tent stake. Warm Regards from Reno, Nevada U.S.A.

[@BUSHMANandBLUE]

With that tent it comes with some pretty long robust pegs which were well sufficient that night. Some down socks definitely make a massive difference. I have some Primaloft ones but these are supreme👍. Thanks Bill as always

Great video man . Lovely shots . Last Christmas i went camping , had tge tent lovely , woke up at 4am for a pee and nearly froze to death iin 40 seconds .

[@burninggiraffe6615]

Wow the prices of those down products just makes the whole pursuit a rich man’s game!

[@BUSHMANandBLUE]

No, wild camping can be achieved with a very small budget especially if you choose the right weather. But as the challenge increases and the weather is harsher then most cheap kit just won’t be safe enough. A lot of the PHD kit is designed for high altitude peaks and arctic expeditions where it’s not about the money but more about completing the challenge and staying alive. The lighter weight gear like this is aimed at ultra endurance athletes where gram counting matters to be able to complete the event or to win and not be 2nd. No doubt though the lighter the kit the more enjoyable the adventure though regardless 👍👍👍

I know what it feels like to go sprawling in a freezing 😢stream. On one occasion heading up to Thornthwaite Crag in -3C and just 100yds from the car I stepped on a grassy tussock in the middle of a stream which proved to have nothing but water beneath it and ended up just like you, saturated down one sude. I debated, should I just change into my over trousers, chilly, or go back. In the event I continued up and within half an hour was dry and warm. At the top we had sandwiches laced with flying ice crystals. Did you try the pub with no beer at the start of the path, the Cross Keys Temperence pub? Superb food - and coffee and cake!

Great drone footage too and of course the irrepressible Blue ❤ I’ll check out the PHD gear, I’m looking for a new 3 season sleeping bag. This is not a grumble but it would be good to know if gear is a) bought by you, b) given by the manufacture, but not a sponsorship, or c) fully sponsored. I don’t mind either way, it just helps me as a viewer/gear buyer if there’s transparency. Cheers and all the best 🍻

[@BUSHMANandBLUE]

Well just know that I only accept things that I need, will use and that I believe in. There are too many dangers out there to promote cheap rubbish kit that has a higher chance of catastrophic failure. Cheers bud👍👍👍

PHD is definitely the best for warmth to weight ratio but yes it does cost. Just checkout the sales as there are always bargains to be had. Rab have an outlet store which is a good shout called mountain outfitters in Alfreton. 👌

[@TheMadmacs]

really love the idea of down suit, i'm trying to get a lighter warmer sleeping bag and the thought of getting it wrong, i've been very cold before its pretty horrible. so the down suit sounds like a brilliant way to go.

[@BUSHMANandBLUE]

There are different ways to add to the warmth. If you already have a good quality sleeping bag you could consider a down quilt to go over the top of it maybe? For all year round generally you’ll need 2 sleeping bags or sleep systems 👍👍

[@taffman1]

Evening, have you considered carrying a UCO survival lantern, but use a bee's wax candle, they give a nice glow and a bit of warmth, enough to take the chill off, I use on both out on the hills and in my fishing bivvy.

I’ve not used one so might have a look👍. Cheers
