WET WILD CAMPING - TENT TALK in the Peak District Wool Packs UK

PHDesigns - Alpine Ultra Half Bag
Half bags are awesome to make up a sleep system when you are already carrying a down jacket to keep weight to a minimum. This one only weighs 250g so can be used to sleep in as it is or as an extra layer inside another full sleeping bag for very cold conditions. I look forward to testing it further!

PHDesigns - Yukon Down Pullover: K Series
Amazingly warm for just 355g! I love the fact that it’s a pullover so you can join your hands in the pocket to keep warm. It has a typical operating temperature of -15C so perfect for UK winters and even high altitude expeditions. This will definitely be my go to jacket for winter camping with… warm, ultra lightweight and small packsize👌

PHDesigns - Minimus Down Trousers
Ultralight (230g) packable down trousers using 900 fill power down. Simple design to reduce weight but functionally perfect for those colder nights at camp with a typical operating temperature of -5C.

Other Blue Crue members are as soft as me. I knew it!... I feel at home here! 🤣

[@thepeakdistrictviking]

Nice to see you out in my back yard. Great video as always!!! We've had some strange weather of late that's for sure!

[@ManxAndy]

Your back yard looks ace, bit big though, mine only takes 30 mins to cut the grass, then it’s feet up, and World superbikes on the tv 👍😜🇮🇲

[@thepeakdistrictviking]

@ManxAndy now your talking, world supervises!!!!

[@faraazhamza6044]

I’m a simple man. I see a new video from Al and Blue, I put the kettle on and enjoy with a nice cup of tea. Great work pal, hope to catch you out on the trails one day!

[@BUSHMANandBLUE]

Good stuff mate. Tea and some relaxing camp talk

[@PhilWaud]

Good to see you in the Peaks, Kinder Scout is an amazing place. I wouldn't take my dog up there, but he's not a mountain goat like Blue! Hope he's ok. Thanks for another great video.

[@mickf.4958]

I’ve become addicted to your videos!! Blue is a beautiful dog too ❤

[@karenchapman6334]

Missed Blue & hope he’s ok? Enjoyed the video - some interesting rocks around there 👍

[@SALFORDSFINEST07]

Just done Mam Tor, Hollins Craoos, Back Tor, Lose Hill etc and back down to Castleton today. Beyond Muddy and claggy ! Great video Al - good to see you out and about in the Peak District ❤️👍🏻

[@hillbillypeach]

Another great camp! Thanks for all you do to keep us appeased.

[@alisonmcarthur]

Saving to watch on the television tonight! ❤❤ Steady on in that mud!! X

[@lottie2525]

The classic gate gag, always makes me chuckle. Love all those weathered rocks in the Peaks, yeah very like Brimham Rocks, I remember visiting them when we were staying in Nidddddderdale as we loved to pronounce it.

[@BUSHMANandBLUE]

A beautiful place 😉

[@d.lav.2198]

Love your videos, Al. Keep them coming!

[@cruisesandland]

I would say we bother watching because when we can't be out there ourselves, we are out there via you. Thank you for another great video.

[@BUSHMANandBLUE]

I’m glad you can join me☺️

[@MrCMHUDDY]

Anything but boring, Al! :) When I can't get out, you'll do for me... Vicarious camping! Love it! Thank you, as always.

[@tracymac1111]

True the weather stinks yet you still manage to produce another great vlog. Those conditions were obviously massively challenging but Alan, you just take it all in your stride. Thank you for another very entertaining episode.

[@BUSHMANandBLUE]

Thanks Tracy. I take life in my stride🤷🏻‍♂️😬

[@barbn1211]

That was an excellent excursion, Al. Filming while you were traversing the rocky areas must have been so difficult! You sure captured the beauty of the landscape. As always, well done! 🇨🇦

[@BUSHMANandBLUE]

Thanks ☺️

[@agatadusko9646]

Rain or no rain. Just wonderful as always :)

[@BUSHMANandBLUE]

👊

[@stuarthatton1973]

loved this camp Al , nice to see some new kit and you experiencing a new location, looking forward to the next 1 , hopefully Blue will be out

[@silene89]

Oh my, those rocks are fantastic!

[@Markypriv]

Great vid as always, good to see you playing out in the peaks 👍

[@Skirliegirl]

Good to see you in my back yard!

[@Christine-il8nm]

I bet its beautiful there on a lovely sunny day wow that scenery is amazing ..

[@wiking08]

It most certainly is my friend!

[@fatzmalone5705]

Always love your videos. You put yourself in very testy situations. Keep it up and keep it safe.

[@michaelbrassington7549]

Kinder scout! Lovely part of the world. To me, looks like another world

[@debraflint6890]

Good to see you in the Peaks,

[@audgester]

What a cool landscape and I think the tent fit in well! I love Osprey packs, I hope yours goes well!

[@malcolminstone4213]

You were very unlucky Al. In 25yrs of exploring Kinder I've never known it to be claggy, wet and definitely no boggy ground😂. It's always a pleasure listening to your thoughts about life. 🐐 ❤

[@BillyMcFarland-v7n]

I love your videos bud, I have an 8 year old son and a black Labrador and these inspire me to get him outdoors. Keep up the good work👍☘️

[@BUSHMANandBLUE]

Definitely get him out whilst young as when he hits the teens the interest may subside👍👍👍

[@missogyny4921]

That was Kinder Scout you were on btw - my local hill 45 mins away! A good tip for a brilliant breakfast back in Edale is Newfold Farm campsite cafe. Good food in Ye Olde Nag’s Head pub too.

[@BUSHMANandBLUE]

I are in both over my 2 nights there😉👌

[@missogyny4921]

@@BUSHMANandBLUEI thought a discerning chap such as yoursen would have sussed out the local scene!

[@sifromwales5452]

Your videos are great! Blue is amazing and your kit reviews are spot on. You know what I like the best though.. it's when you urge people to just be present! Just to stop and pay attention to everything. We all seem to need constant distractions :)

[@BUSHMANandBLUE]

Yes it’s definitely how I’ve always kept a happy soul.

[@robsadventures4653]

Enjoyed this

[@niafer9444]

If you want a healthy crouton style crunch then smash up some Nairn's Gluten Free Original Oatcakes. I break them in the packet and then mix them in with veg and tuna-mayo. Some wonderful scenery, up there. Thank you for another beautiful video.

[@BUSHMANandBLUE]

Yeah I like them. They used to have a cheese one but I can’t ever find it.

[@shirleyauer1157]

Love Blue - but - Allen always gets my vote 😊. Brilliant as always 👍 xx

[@BUSHMANandBLUE]

🥰

[@Riz340]

You might have been better at the Pym Chair my friend, camped there a few times, always an amazing spot for both sunsets and rises, nice vid, woolpacks is a surreal place, very eerie

[@BUSHMANandBLUE]

Yea I’m not too familiar with the area but I’m sure there are some great spots.

[@C.M.Whiskey]

Next time you come down, get to Blue John Cavern, lad, Castleton, sorry you dropped on bad weather on your first trip down.

[@ExpeditionHiker]

Crikey I am glad I found a pitch on Tuesday night as I was up there then, its a busy spot Woolpacks - you were definitely moving faster than my ode body 😄 but I like to think back to the days when fear wasn't an option as also been in some scary spots in my younger days in the Alps and Himalayas - some interesting kit you are using, I have never heard of PH Designs so will be checking them out - thanks

[@BUSHMANandBLUE]

PHD is designed for high altitude ascents right through to multi day endurance events. Ultralight weight👌

[@ExpeditionHiker]

@BUSHMANandBLUE I do long distance walks now with light gear so should be the type of thing that fits my style cheers

[@dominicrivron2306]

I think climbers years ago christened that area of weirdly shaped rocks 'Whipsnade', after the zoo, thinking of the rocks as surreal animals. Love Kinder Scout. There's so much to explore: Grindsbrook, Kinder Downfall, the Kinder river, Kinder Gates, etc., etc. Fantastic under snow.

[@paulrichmond3348]

Good to see you visiting Kinder mate. Not been there myself in ages. Hope you enjoyed it. :)

[@johnd8538]

You got a typical kinder welcome! I'm from Sheffield, it's on my doorstep so to speak and had many a drenching up there, apart from one proper scare trying to take a shortcut down a really narrow ravine in bad weather cos I was desperate to get off and down! Got stuck and I think you can guess how I felt. Ended up going back up to the summit even more wet, knackered and with legs full of lactic acid....the joys of kinder on a bad day....😂

[@BUSHMANandBLUE]

Memories 😉

[@kathleenorr9237]

Those boulders had some amazing shapes..as you say weather been all over the place last few weeks. Very mild for Feb

[@matthewcollis6259]

Al - the first thing in my car at the moment are my gaiters!! Hasn't stopped raining for months where I am! That tent looks a bit flappy for me, I have a Lanshan 2 Pro and it's much tighter than that by the look of it (but condensation does need to be taken car of)

[@BUSHMANandBLUE]

It’s a copy of the Lanshan but definitely flappy although it wasn’t pitched well as I squeezed it in

[@frednorman1]

Fascinating rock formations on top of the hill. Any comments about the geology, Allen?

[@BUSHMANandBLUE]

I’m not familiar with this area but I think the stone was carved with millions of years of high winds which sandblasted the rocks forming peculiar shapes.

[@ragingbull9940]

Another interesting video, the boulders were brilliant the hot chocolate and coffee interesting and blue would be manky if he'd gone

[@thewhofan1964]

Besides going to Matlock on a school residential, I've also never visited the Peak District. I don't know why but I just find it much easier to travel north from where I live. More sceneic route I guess. When you were up on those rocks, my first thought was, they are not a patch on Brimham Rocks. 😅 Some of them did look rather cool though, especially the one with the peaked cap. Nice to see you somewhere new. Thanks Al. 👊

[@shaunwild8797]

It was funny, made me laugh. Great stuff fella.

[@99autism]

Ran up jacobs ladder to the trig 3 times last weekend

[@sheldonlunn7050]

Loving your videos fella. Handsome and humorous. Well hog my haversack!

[@BUSHMANandBLUE]

☺️ thank you

[@aileencotswoldtrekker6876]

Great video, I am relatively new to your videos but completely hooked. Roll on the next one.

[@BUSHMANandBLUE]

Welcome😬

[@andym2584]

My home turf❤. Alport castles was wild on Friday. Car temp said it was 16 degrees when we got back to the car. Mental for February.

[@LousyFIBs]

Naw… the gate gag was funny. I totally LOLled.

[@BUSHMANandBLUE]

Good another daft idiot like me😂😂😂

[@annehicks9992]

Just found your channel. Love all the beautiful views and blue 😅

[@stigfloberghagenphotography]

Nice video

[@Golden1989-days]

Missed Blue 😞 but he would have made a very muddy bed pal. Great vid as usual. Still think you’re nuts 😃

[@andye222]

Still amazes me Al how much you can fit into a rucksack. But then again I have seen first hand how much the PHD kit compresses down. Watching that sleeping bag disappear into the Thermarest stuff back was like watching a magic trick. Now you see it, now you don’t 🤣🤣

[@BUSHMANandBLUE]

😂😂😂

[@lizkent2624]

Great video. I went to the peak district about ten years ago. It was in summer, I remember it being dryer than now but still plenty of peat bogs (like Dartmoor😂). I really like the down jacket, but I'm not sure about half of a sleeping bag!

[@delahunty982]

Can you imagine the state Blue would have looked like if he had gone through all that mud 🤣🤣🤣

[@BUSHMANandBLUE]

He’d have loved it… but he’d be sleeping outside 😂

[@Martycycleman]

Cheers Allen, great video although I'm bloody knackered watching you skip over them rocks.😊

[@darilynkrupp6309]

Right, new word - clagg - which I understand to mean thick fog. Entertaining to watch you dance over the rocks. I'm not that surefooted.

[@BUSHMANandBLUE]

Yep it was claggy

[@Craigsoutdooradventures]

Great video really enjoyed, I stayed there for the 1st time last month and had a great but cold time

[@kaymorrice8141]

Clarty! Grim! Those views would look so much better if the sun was belting down! I lived in Derbyshire Dales for quite a few years. I prefer walking along dales rather than up Peaks! I look forward to joining you up every hill I haven’t been up 😎

[@lifesahobby]

Good evening

[@seanr2968]

Great video as always Al - but I missed the usual music at the end! Looking forward to seeing your next one as always.

[@MrBrianc1975]

Great video Al. Good to see you out and about in new territories. The Peaks looks good, like Dartmoor on steroids!

[@Hikingjoe383]

Great video as usual

[@davemayers9342]

Ah the Peak, my early stomping ground, and easily accessible to Mancunians and other such northern breeds. Millstone grit is lovely to climb and there's no shortage of great places to go boldering too. Stay out of the peat bogs at all costs !!!!

[@KR-Minlie01]

Where is blue? 🐶 The pretty dog

[@prothor]

Just saw the van build again and as a bonus: new stuff 💣😸💜. But no Blue 😌

[@darrenray6934]

Great to see you my neck of the woods 😊many good camps up there. Great video again. Just not sure of you hot drink selection 😄 one of the other in my opinion. Chocolate last drink of the night 👍🏻

[@LittleJo-]

Really enjoyed watching this, the rocks were amazing. Thanks for sharing a part of your life and adventures.

[@James_and_Laura]

Nice one mate, love it up there. Familiar territory for us. There's a couple of cracking cycle climbs there too if you happen to bring your bike at some point. Winnats pass and Mam Nick are both brutal as well as the almost impossible Bamford Clough a little further down the road 😎👍

[@BUSHMANandBLUE]

I love a good hill climb👌

[@Adam-w7q4x]

Another great video Al! Any more travel trips planned? Your Poland series was fantastic!

[@BUSHMANandBLUE]

Definitely I’ll be heading away… just no plan🤷🏻‍♂️😬

[@mancavehobbies6213]

Is BLUE ok

[@mrlodwick]

Thank you.

[@tommyb7973]

Thanks bro! 🙂

[@fog360]

Did you get permission by king Paul messner lol 😂 that’s his kingdom, like the pack , great video as always bud.

[@alisonmcarthur]

Good content as usual, another place we might try for a little walk, thank you. I’ll not lie I did miss Bluey but when he’s not with you it’s like Ant without Dec! 😂😂 We have been up round Levers water today and I have to say I did shout out a couple of times ‘Bushy are you there’? Sadly no reply! Keep them coming, thank you for all your hard work. ❤

[@BUSHMANandBLUE]

Keep shouting and one day I’ll respond ☺️

[@alisonmcarthur]

[@jillweare1563]

Bushman and Bog 😂😮

[@Terrylyon1979]

I was up there yesterday was a brilliant walk did just short of 10 mile starting from kinder reservoir round kinder down it was so slippy going down was funny 😂

[@RolandWilfong]

Wheres blue

[@kieranconway8305]

Great vid as always Al. What was the tent you used? Dont think you mentioned it in the vid 👍 thanks!

[@BUSHMANandBLUE]

It’s not really available yet. I was just giving some feedback

[@mow-zr6ni]

Got the original stratos 36 where it’s sized. Very comfortable with better features. I think the bean counters are at work at osprey because adjustable back system are a weakness. Shame

[@craigwatson9320]

25:36 as you say light the gas, I dog barks 😮 ghost dog of the moors

Awwe hope Blue is alright and just resting, lovely video many thanks 🙏

[@boolay75]

Only been to the Peak District once and camped at Sealstones as well. The Aeroplanes flying over all night really got on my nerves!

[@BUSHMANandBLUE]

I agree. Every 10 mins

[@davidhenderson1412]

Where's Blue you never mentioned his absence. I like that half bag concept.

[@rosesevers5181]

Enjoyable even without Blue 😉😁

[@andreadewsbury3958]

Fossilised skeletal remains of giants. Boulder field. Perhaps.

[@jeffreykellett8660]

No blue?

[@275simon]

The Peak District is just as wet and claggy in the summer Al. Stick to the lakes

[@davebetch9918]

I have a one of those half bags which is really warm, however, my jacket is a PhD Zeta belay jacket (?) is rated to -20 was not warm enough to sleep out at 3500 meters in the Alps in summer and I spent most of the night trying to get my whole body in the half bag! It was no where near -20. Is that a Snowline Bivy? I have one of those and my jacket and my half bag work well with that in the summer in the Alps.

[@BUSHMANandBLUE]

The ‘typical operating temperature’ is for when up and about rather than laid still. Great to test how far they can be used👌

[@5555grumpy]

Those are the strangest rocks I’ve ever seen!

[@TheFireMadSpencerAlexander]

2024 Bushman discovers mocha. Also, why do you wear the coat when sleeping? I’m not familiar with this method. I sleep in my base layers all the way zipped up. -20°f and I’m warm as hell. The sleeping bags have baffles and double closures? Not trying to be critical. Maybe I am missing an issue with weight savings etc?

[@BUSHMANandBLUE]

There are several sleep systems. If you’re carrying a down jacket and down pants anyway then it means you can carry a lighter weight sleeping bag
