Wild camp with the Wild Country Helm 2 man tent

[@anthonypayne1]

Love the reviews you do Paul, that tent looks a solid bit of kit, views weren’t bad either ;-) What impressed me the most was the thought and editing that made it so enjoyable to watch.I’m not sure, but do I detect a new camera as well? Detail and colour looked great on my iPad! Well done Sir.

[@PaulMessner]

Thank you Anthony. Glad you enjoyed the video. Been working on learning the editing side of things to try and bring a better experience for you guys. I'm still learning but hope to get better. The new camera is the LX15. Very compact but I can now film in 4K. Takes an age to upload though. Best wishes

Thanks to this video I’ve bought this tent today… along with a sleeping mat/bag/pillow/stove/rucksack/light/thermals/cooking gear/dry sacks. Can’t wait to get out!!

[@andrewarthurmatthews6685]

I have owned the Wild Country Trisar +for 32 years and it has never let me down . Ok it’s not a lightweight backpacking tent as such but it has proven to be easy to set up , very stable in high winds, never leaked and enough comfortable room for one person with kit or two persons with kit in not so comfortable situation.

[@kumamaotoiu]

This video is 2 years old now. And it's still as delightful as it was the first time I saw it. you put a lot of effort into making it look like anyone can do this. It's appreciated, Paul. Hope you're staying safe this April in 2020.

[@expatbiker6598]

I've been binge watching your camping. No one in my family has ever gone camping and I know seven generations back. Absolute joy watching you. Once I've made up my mind to go motorcycle camping. I will hound you for advice. Thank you..

Awesome Paul, we appreciate all the effort you go to with these video's. It's nice to see content creators that are passionate about bringing great quality vlogs to our screens. Hope your well and all the best from both of us. Gareth&Zoe Wildcamps

[@PaulMessner]

Cheers folks. Thanks for the kind words and for watching. I enjoy the editing as much as the trips out. I know you guys are the same. Hope to catch up with you both again soon. ATB Paul

[@GarethZoeWildcamps]

We do indeed Paul, the capturing of these ace places on video for others is just as much fun as the camping side of it. We know some knock the effort some of us content creators put in for our audiences but like you we like to capture these places in the most lifelike ways possible on video for others to see. Yes hopefully catch up at Edale if your about :)

[@PaulMessner]

Don't understand the knockers (pardon the pun) and anyway, we don't make videos for them. KZbin allows anyone to be as creative as they want to be. Its more interesting to see things from different angles, perspectives and a good mixture of movement and stationary footage. That's how I see it anyway. Still learning though so hopefully I'll get there 😂. I'm sure I'll be making an appearance at Edale so see you then. Take care. 👍

[@hedgerowsandzeros]

Hello you two, some great stuff here agreed. Anyone knocking it needs a bang on the head! I've just been asking Paul about his mat. How are you getting along with your alpkit airo? I've seen your glowing review vid. Are either of you a side sleeper like me, if so does it support the hips? I'm considering the full length version or the heavier dirtbag...at least until I can justify a top end mat.

[@1972andyb]

Hi Paul, great vid as always. 5 years old & still amazing. I got the helm compact 2 for Christmas( Black Friday 30% discount). Can’t wait to get out in it. Also got myself a footprint, extra pegs and 4 ground anchor pegs the same as yours. Thanks for all the inspiration 😊

[@mcoppock214]

Stunning Paul, Stunning. Such a great spot. I do like the alpkit gear. The tent is on my list. Currently I have none. As I use to got out with a friend. Covid etc changed things so need my own now.

[@wandering_not_lost]

Really nice video, one little tip about the Adventure foods is that they have a series of 'Fill lines' on the side and each one tells you which line to fill to. Then give it a stir before you wait the ten minutes. Otherwise they can be a bit gravelly. Love the video, thanks for making it.

[@PaulMessner]

Thanks for watching and for the tip on the foods.

[@TheKeithEds]

Great vid Paul. Been building up my gear recently to start going wild camping. I'd bought a Banshee Pro 200, but after pitching it up in the garden and seeing this vid talking about the Helm 2 I've just ordered one - purely for the extra space. I might now sell the Banshee! Keep the vids coming, and stay safe on them hills.

I’ve been to roughly that location with my Helm 1. I personally think it’s a fantastic tent and extremely strong. I got the helm 1 for less weight but it still keeps better head height than any other in its class I think.

They are cracking little tents. One of the best for head room

[@jollyjollyme]

Great video - I pretty much have all the gear together to try some wild camping myself and this has given me some confidence and ideas of where to go and what to expect 😁

[@andym2869]

Paul,if you look over to the otherside of Buttermere just above the tree line there is a fantastic tarn up there called Bleaberry Tarn it's a wild campers paradise,it sits below the High Stile/High Crag ridge with Red Pike just to the right of that,there's an easy path upto Bleaberry Tarn pretty much immediately to the right when you walk into the woodland through the gate from the path that walks past the Fish where you had a pint and from the tarn there is an easy enough path upto Red Pike via Dodd and from Red Pike you can then overlook Ennerdale Water as well as Buttermere,Crummock Water & Loweswater & the magnificent Ennerdale Valley, it's the jewel in the crown of the NW Lakes to many of us who live local. There's two YHA in the 6 1/2 mile stretch of the Ennerdale Valley with Black Sail YHA in the remotest part right underneath Haystacks (Wainwright's ashes are scattered there in Inominate Tarn) Green Gable,Great Gable & also Pillar tower over & surround the end of the valley & many use it as a base to save a long walk in before climbing those mountains..I think you would really enjoy setting up camp up at Bleaberry Tarn,a 45 mins walk from Buttermere or an hour max taking your time 😉

[@VidaVidaVida80]

Great video Paul. What an excellent pitch. I’m eager to start wild camping.

16:37 if you're having problems with your sit mat try making a little hole in it and attach a leash to your belt with a lightweight non-climbing carabiner so it won't blow away.

I need to look at Trail magazine and see ifthey are still doing that deal for subscribers! Nice to see Buttermere, Crummock water and Loweswater in the distance. Did a hike out to the latter in August (on my channel) and was lucky enough to see a paraglider dropping in as we started. Our club did a hike around Buttermere (I think) in the summer the year before too. Anyhow I subscribed to see more of these great videos as they appear. Thanks for sharing.

Another awesome video Paul. I've never seen those delta pegs before, you said they may be 'overkill' they do look strong but also look light weight too considering the traditional shepherd hook style.

They are great pegs if you are expecting high winds. They just don't budge. Not the best for rocky ground though so I always tend to take a selection of different types.

I never wild camped before alone or in group, fantastic views no doubt but my worry is having to eat that kind of processed meals in powder, bars etc I take my meals and ingredients very seriously so I would probably take too much weight with me with bread eggs olive oil etc but having a car parked somewhere near my camping spot makes all the difference I think - I could take more of my gourmet essentials with me ahah

Nice one Paul I had to have a look on my wild country tent to see if those outer skin adjusters were on my lil Coshee micro but they weren’t.

Looking forward to the next one 😃👍
