Wild Camp in Crux Storm Tent

Wild camp on the hills west of Sheffield at Owler Bar in very wet and windy conditions. Opportunity to try out my Crux Storm tent in preparation for winter months ahead.

[@jeremyyork3538]

Patrick, I've been trying to work out why I find your videos so enjoyable. I think I know now - your aim is always to engage the interest of your viewers. By the way you talk to us, it is clear how much you value your viewers - you treat us like friends. You have no 'airs 'n graces', you're a genuine fella with a zest for adventure. Your videos are very well presented and your manner is just right. Keep up the good work Patrick, you are an inspiration!

[@patrickdickinson6492]

Jeremy, they are such kind words, and I doe like to think my viewers are with me on my adventures, the best part are the very kind comments I get making it all worthwhile, all the best Pat

[@tomrafferty2562]

Well said Jeremy 👍🏼

[@thewestonfront]

The perils of pitching a new tent when you are pissed. A cautionary tale - love it ;-)

[@patrickdickinson6492]

Haha, I remember it well,luckly I could of just slept on the grass, thanks Pat

[@christopherraab5260]

Thank you for another excellent video Patrick. Love your adventurous spirit, combined with your thoughtful and informative narration. Been enjoying all of your posts from here in the United States. I was fortunate enough to spend my teenage years in England, and you take me right back to my many camping trips throughout your beautiful country. Cheers!

[@patrickdickinson6492]

[@patrickdickinson6492]

Mister Teach Hi nice to hear from you, mostly wild camping but bit of exploring and drinking thrown in thanks Pat

[@robertharris1960]

It's really inspiring.great stuff. Being safe in the tent. Amazing.

[@patrickdickinson6492]

Once that tent was up, it felt as solid as a rock, great feeling sleeping out and being safe and warm... thanks Pat

[@chevyimp5857]

You're an inspiration..I really appreciate these great contributions..

[@patrickdickinson6492]

Thanks for that, nice to be out in a tent even though its getting colder now, thanks Pat

[@basedglennuk]

That was indeed a wild camp, but worth it for the breakfast alone! So grateful for the upload, take care Pat!

[@patrickdickinson6492]

Glenn UK Hi Glenn yes definetly wild with that wind, all the best Pat

[@esa062]

It's kinda cosy in a tent when it's blowing like that. Nice view too. One tip: It's good for the poles to start folding them in the middle. When you start from one end, the shock cord gets quite tight towards the end.

[@patrickdickinson6492]

esa062 Hi and thanks for that just folded them up never thought any further thanks for that, Pat

[@johnmccarthy2179]

You are putting a lot of stress on your zip pulling it half way down when you are cooking or showing us the view of Sheffield, love all your videos

[@trueblue2124]

You can tell from seeing you inside the tent how well structured it is -my first time watching you - really enjoyed it - hope you have some more I can watch -thank you for sharing

[@patrickdickinson6492]

Hi and nice to meet you, this was first time I had used the Crux tent, felt very strong, usually use a Hilleberg Soulo due to lightness and ease of errecting. Hope you like my channel, quite a bit of wild camping but my interests vary and I like different filming challenges. You will seems underground quite a lot and sometimes up in the trees, all the best for 2019 Pat

[@WiltshireMan]

Welldone Pat. That was another very watchable and enjoyable video. My mate Noel will be on the lookout for a Crux storm tent now:) I like the pot cozy and dehydrated food. That is definately the way forward for this type of camping. All the best from a Windy Wiltshire. Sandy

[@patrickdickinson6492]

Hi Sandy, can,t have to many tents, put me in a tent and just the smell and feeling of calm and happy memories comes over me. Dehydrated food is a great lightweight solution to a nice filling meal, but you can,t beat a nice piece of steak as well. All the best Pat

[@johnnyboy63100]

Another great video. Thanks for sharing Patrick.

[@patrickdickinson6492]

johnnyboy63100 Hi Johnny yes great spot to camp with fantastic views over the city, definetly getting cooler now, be getting rest of my winter gear out I think, all the best Pat

Thanks for taking us along on another camp. Enjoyed the still photos. Interesting to see the quary where you did your urban camp.

[@patrickdickinson6492]

Thanks Gareth, bit of a windy one, but still a great camp, thanks Pat

[@clairependrous4512]

Another great adventure, very watchable, super stuff, Pat.

[@davidsimons5944]

Patrick you'll have to do a video showing how you dehydrate & vacuum pack your food! Great pics & views of Sheffield. Couldn't believe the power station was 35 miles away! Thinking of buying a Snugpack one man tent & Snugpack 3 bag.

[@jorvikoutdoors]

Another great vid Pat, well done for braving the wind, love the hydrated food, really enjoyed the vid atb Lee

[@patrickdickinson6492]

[@K9Outdoors]

Great to see you back out Pat, good video as always, my god i felt cold just watching you set up the tent in that wind obviously you like a challenge. I have seen the Crux tent up on ebay a couple of times during the past year got close to buying one each time but just missed out, looks a decent tent for bad weather.

[@patrickdickinson6492]

Walking wivdogs Nice to be out, the Crux tent feels very strong and secure would definetly recommend, all the best Pat

[@MrJimbaloid]

Ohh I love the sound of rain. I used to love listening to the rain in my sleeper cab when I was a driver. But wow Pat that tent looks really cosy. Love the vids mate keep em up.

[@patrickdickinson6492]

Hi Jess once you have done a few camps you will learn a lot and fine tune your kit, I still are doing, all the best Pat

[@badoldbiker368]

Hi Pat, really enjoy your videos, especially the wet, cold and windy camps. Nothing like being all dry and cosy in a good tent when its blowing a gale and pouring outside. I liked the Crux tent, very nice bit of kit.

[@patrickdickinson6492]

BADOLDBIKER Hi yes very impressed with the strength and stability of the Crux Storm tent, felt very secure and cozy in my home for the night on the wild moorlands above Sheffield, thanks for your comments and watching ,Pat

Thanks Jim, fantastic views, I remember this one for, thanks Pat

[@zdenekmarek3843]

Hallo Pat.Super video.You show Shefield so well.My Daughter went to Shefield University for 3 years and I used to fly over your campsite at about 44000feet quite often.My flight comeing from Canada starting at Fort Worth Texas.we would just miss Nottingham and head past Marham RAF base in Norfolk much lower probably 30ish Thousand feet where I had lived for 3 years then we would climb above 36000ft over the North Sea heading for Holland and finally Germany.At times the midnightish views over Shefield and Marham were very clear the lighting showing lots of details.Well you remind me of England and my travels from around the world and my Daughter who lives in South Korea. BYE,Be Blessed mate.PS. No need to answer I understand your work load.

[@davesoutdoorpage4721]

I love how you always find space for the frying pan and manage to do some marvelous complete meals on it, I'm going to try it myself next time I'm out, planning on a night on Ilkley Moor soon, close to the neolithic carved rocks, deep in the woodland, should be good

[@patrickdickinson6492]

Dave's Outdoor Page Hi Dave frying pan great for cooking and also keeps your food warm while you enjoy it, thanks for comments and watching Pat

[@philipwinter8729]

Just found your channel a few weeks ago. Am currently working through your videos - being from Sheffield myself originally (though now having lived more of my life up the M1 in Leeds and now Mid-Wharfedale) I have fond memories of many of your locations (the outdoors, not the tunnels). Thanks very much Pat!

[@patrickdickinson6492]

Hi Philip hope you find my videos entertaining, a mix of wildcamping and tunnels etc. Can see how you must miss Sheffield but your new location sounds great, all the best Pat

[@MrTmax74]

Tx for bringing us along! I like the way you do your vids and your easy to listen to. Good times. Subbing.

[@patrickdickinson6492]

Mr Tmax Thanks for comments and subbing, glad you enjoyed video, try and put something on every 4 to 6 weeks, all the best Pat

[@christhornley1664]

Another nice vid Pat, always enjoy your stuff. Particularly liked your still photos of the city at night, looked brilliant. Drax Power Station seemed so close. All good stuff, thanks.

[@patrickdickinson6492]

Chris Thornley Hi Chris yes I was surprised how the photo appeared to put Drax just beyond the city not nearly 30 miles away sat looking at the view for ages trying different camera settings, thanks for comments and watching Pat

[@StephenTurnockMIRPCertRP]

Thanks for taking us along Patrick - enjoyable as ever. The tent looked rock-solid - been looking for a good winter tent with room for kt and will look out for the Crux or Soulo bargain on eBay. Some great shots over Sheffield and shame about the focus over breakfast. All the technology bits, we're bound to have glitches. You do a good job for sound recording in the wind! Look forward to the next adventure and may dehydrated turkey roast if you get time for a December camp. ATB Stephen

[@patrickdickinson6492]

Hi Sephen Crux tent was really solid never moved in that wind just a bit heavy to carry a long way but great for a winter camp near home. Microphones got a big dead cat muffler on which helps get decent audio in windy conditions, thanks for comments all the best Pat

[@paulyoung5073]

Loved the video...👍 Hilleberg super strong but so flappy in the wind. The crux looked very settled during the wind

[@patrickdickinson6492]

paul young yeah exactly my thoughts Soulo do easy and lightweight but does flap, this one solid as a rock if your prepared to carry it, thanks for comments Pat

[@mokpot]

Nice adventure, thanks for sharing

[@patrickdickinson6492]

[@BRM101]

[@Fortress60]

Yes, I think I'd have just rolled up in the fly sheet. I love your videos, Pat - your enthusiasm really comes through. Good, warm, camping!

[@samc705]

Lucky you put away so much food Pat,else you'd have been blown back to Sheffield by that wind. Stay safe mate.

[@patrickdickinson6492]

Sam C hi Sam yes food is a major part of any camp for me, I enjoy cooking it and eating it as well, all the best Pat

[@paulstaffordcook8799]

You Sir, are a joy to watch! I’ve seen a few of your videos and I always watch ‘till the very end. You are “watchable” in the that same way that “Fred Dibnah” was watchable. Magic! As I write these words I’m sitting by the fire, under a tarp, in the Scottish hills (Lochearnhead), and your video has warmed me up considerably! Tonight I will crawl in to a Vaud Mark II Light, but I’m saving up for a Hilleberg Soulo, thanks to you :-)

[@patrickdickinson6492]

Paul Stafford Cook Hi Paul you sound like you were in a fantastic location, my brother lived at Comrie not far away. Glad you enjoyed the the video and really appreciate your comments makes it all worth while. The Soulo is a great one person tent, hope you get one eventually, all the best Pat

It looked proper wild up there! What a neat tent and ideal for the conditions. The story about you pitching it for the first time in the dark and after 10 hours of drinking really made me chuckle! I loved seeing the still photographs, especially the shots of the power stations.

[@razifmahathir2437]

Hi Pat, I've been following your videos for the last few weeks since discovering them on KZbin. Fantastic locations and very informative narratives each time. Makes me realise what I've been missing since moving to Malaysia 12 years ago. That UK scenery is just stunning and brings back memories of my trips to the North of England in my younger days. We have some stunning locations out here which I'd like to explore when family commitments permit. My youngest son watched your latest video and is keen to try a wildcamp on our next UK trip. Keep up the good work !

[@patrickdickinson6492]

Hi Razif the scenary is certainly stunning nit so sure about our weather though could do with a bit of your weather. hope you and your son get out on a wild camp, all the best Pat

[@patrickdickinson6492]

Hank Fromhell Hi Hank, nice to hear from, Canada, was a very enjoyable trip thanks for watching, Pat

[@MrPianoKnee]

I liked this one. Good tent. I could have used such a tent back in April in the Big Bend. The gusts were up to 45 mph. I hope you can appreciate how this provides us viewers a new insight into your climate, life in Sheffield, your life and its norms. Cozying up in the shelter of those piled rocks reminds me that cozy is relative. The contrast between our worlds is food for the soul. For instance, here in the greater Houston area, rocks are not naturally occurring. One must travel at least 35 miles northwest, to find one on the ground. We do transport them here, though, but they can be expensive to ship. Six hundred miles from here, in west Texas, there is a lot of rock and the climate is very hot and dry. At night the very dry air cools rapidly when the sun sets, so, in a matter of minutes, we go from wearing layers to protect from the sun, to even more layers to stay warm at night. Your video and stills were great. It was so good to see heather again. Thanks Pat.

[@patrickdickinson6492]

Nice to hear from you and I, am amazed when you say no rocks, we have so many round here especially up on the high ground, as if all the land has eroded away leaving just rocks. On the Derbyshire hills round here we bace alot of stone circles, pagon places of worship many thousands of years old built out of local rocks. Tent performed really well and felt very strong and secure, all the best Pat

[@jakesako]

Great video ! Please keep them coming , all the best from Western Australia 👍👍👍

[@patrickdickinson6492]

Nice to hear from Australia, bet you are having better weather than we are, just approaching our winter months soon, all the best Pat

[@chrismillington6839]

Great video Patrick, the tent looked very sturdy . Some great photos, there is so much to remember with cameras when doing stills and video I've done exactly the same (left it on manual focus lol) looking forward to your next adventure . Thanks!

[@patrickdickinson6492]

Chris Millington Hi Chris yes the more you use your camera with varied setting more chance of mistakes, been exploring underground before this video and beginning of video is a bit rubbish I had actually left ISO on 3600 and white balance on aLED setting hope nobody noticed, all the best Pat

[@eeefox1]

Been binge watching your camp videos n loving them. Theyre brilliant. Think i might start camping next year me sen and a buddy

[@patrickdickinson6492]

Have fun!....you will love it once you get used to it and build up your kit, thanks Pat

[@thegreaterbilby2171]

What a great place so close to home. Conditions looked challenging, though obviously ideal for putting the Crux storm tent to the test ... and yourself :)

[@patrickdickinson6492]

yeah so near to home ,driven past for years but never thought to camp up here, so many places to try, thanks Pat

[@marcandsebe]

[@polopowered]

Amazing that Drax was visible and so far away! Blew me away.

[@patrickdickinson6492]

Fantastic view from up there, 35 mile's away and you could identify the power stations etc, thanks Pat

Hi Nik yes nice to be out wild camping again, no beer on this one, had enough to do with new tent and filming, thanks for watching Pat

Fantastic vid mate. Just bought that tent. Can’t wait to try it out 😊👍🏻

Gareth Danks Hi Gareth strongest tent I,ve had a bit heavy but worth it for the feeling of security and the room, pure luxury. I got mine second hand, not sure if Crux are making them? You have a great tent, all the best Pat

[@GarethDanks]

Patrick Dickinson yeah mate. Bought mine used too. Arrives tomorrow. My terra nova voyager died in snowdonia last weekend. Crux looks bomb proof. 1k heavier as you say but the security is priority after that snapping. Check out my last vlog if you like mate. Keep up the great work buddy. Love your adventures. Be safe! 😊👍🏻

Gareth Danks Hi Gareth yes will have a look all the best Pat

massive tent for such a trip !

[@patrickdickinson6492]

Like I said would probably use my Hilleberg Soulo for a camp like that but wanted to try the tent, in winter when you have extra warm gear, and wet or snow covered gear you need that sort of room unless you like sleeping with a wet coat etc touching your sleeping bag. It is only 2 ib heavier that my Soulo, you want to see what my camera gear weighs, 8lb with trypod mics etc. At the end of the day its just for fun I,am not a serious camper, just a pleasant way to have Fun, thanks Pat

excellent video once again, thanks for sharing your trip with us, i really enjoyed that, our lass is sat watching xfactor, and i am watching your video, i think i am getting the best entertainment.....thanks for pointing out all the landmarks, when we go walking in the peaks every weekend, we see all these places but never know what they are, i have a nice light pair of binoculars that i take with me, its great to pull them out and have a look on the horizon...thanks again for the upload, looking forward to the next one...cheers
