[@EventyrsorenDenmark]

I'm really glad you enjoyed it. I put up a few more videos this week of some camping trips from last year and one of a 3 day trip we did a few weeks ago. Hoping to do more from this winter.

Superb lads, awra best from Scotland..........looks ace. 👍

[@johnrossmacmathuna2231]

Thank you. The weather you guys get in the Scottish mountains is a notch up again!

[@StephenJReid]

Fair play, rather you than me! That looks baltic, I definitely need to get a more wind resistant tent before attempting anything like this.

[@johnrossmacmathuna2231]

It was cold but a lot of fun. Hoping to get some similar weather again this year.

[@daspencer4537]

That was wild! Thanks for the adventure!

Hello from Belfast lads. I remember earlier this year looking at the snow on the mournes from Belfast, I never had an idea it would be like siberia! Well done!

[@tomortale2333]

1ST CAMP IVE SEEN FROM MY FIREPLACE ALLLL WINTER

[@markmall]

I could last 2 or 3 days of that but only if I knew what was coming but the following would make it total bliss... A comfy bed with a decent pillow and a blow up mattress/mat type of thing with a decent sleeping bag/duvet A good hangy up light with spare batteries Music or a radio going in the backround with something to keep her charged A little stove for one pot food and lots of coffee, Maybe Stew or a big fry up with with fresh bread and butter and a few cupasoups A bottle of Whiskey/ Vodka and a bag of grass/weed etc and something fizzy to drink Let it snow, Let it snow,Let it snow etc. I am nearly 60btw so I know what I like. Loved your Video, Thank You from Dublin Ireland.

[@johnrossmacmathuna2231]

Yes. it is actually quite pleasant in the tent. It is getting there and getting out which is a bit difficult.

[@brianingham9569]

Man and I thought the 2 inches of snow we got here last year in Nashville, Tennessee was bad ! 😂🥶

[@daveytownend9104]

That's a cracking video although I think I'd have at least kept the boots inside the tent! I'm looking forward to getting out this winter if I get the chance.

[@johnrossmacmathuna2231]

Thank you. Hopefully a few more to put up

[@thegroove2000]

[@iknowyoureright8564]

That’s serious lads. What sorta sleeping beg would you be using up there? I’ve been up bearnagh and binian in those conditions but only for a days hiking, not a camp. maybe give it a go this winter, an upgrade of gear will be needed though.

[@johnrossmacmathuna2231]

I have a good Big agnes bag the orno it is rated to -18. The mat is important too. I use two mats. The main thing is to be practiced putting up and taking down the tent in a lot of wind.

[@iknowyoureright8564]

@@johnrossmacmathuna2231 I’ve only had a few camps…up at hares gap, the blue lough and lough shannagh, all in decent weather so there’s been no issues with getting it up and down, be a different story in those conditions, but sure it’s the making of ya. another addition for heat would be a half bottle of Jameson, but suppose that’s personal taste. 😆 .

Surah Ala indexed with number 87, number of verses 19 1 Praise your Lord, the Most High, above all faults! 2 Who created and perfected, 3 And he who determined and directed, 4 And which enabled the sprouting of the pasture. 5 And then he made it black waste. 6 We will recite it to you and you will not forget (the Qur'an). 7 Except what Allah wills. He knows the open and the secret. 8 And We will guide you to the easiest. 9 And counsel where counsel is helpful. 10 He that feareth shall be advised; 11 And he who is very wicked will avoid it, 12 Who will enter into the great fire. 13 And there he shall neither die nor live. 14 He that is cleansed is saved. 15 Who remembers the greatness of his Lord and prays. 16 But you give priority to the life of this world, 17 It is known that the life of the Hereafter is more useful and eternal. 18 Indeed, this (advice) was found in the first booklets: 19 In the pamphlets of Ibrahim and Musa,,

[@johnrossmacmathuna2231]

Hey there and thanks for watching! The problem was more that the damp from the boots getting wet earlier in the day just froze the boots solid. It was well below freezing even in the tent. A bag probably wouldn't have stopped them from freezing.

Always keep your boots in the sleeping bag. Otherwise , your feet will be cold all day.

[@StevenKeery]

Rather foolish to go camping in such conditions. If one or both had fallen and injured themselves they could have died of hypothermia before help arrived.

[@johnrossmacmathuna2231]

To be fair we had a 4 season tent with us, Sleeping bags rated to -20C, Mats, Spare clothing, Spare food, We had a physical wall we could follow to safety, we planned it so the wall was there for shelter from the wind. We had two people both with years of experience in the area and in this weather. Had we fallen or broke anything we could have hunkered in our tent in the sleeping bags for as long as it took for help to arrive. The weather improved significantly after the video and the snow was thawing and sun was out within 6 hours of the end of the video.
