Love the trick with the gloves. You can "clean the lens" in the next video. "Hey, so here's the tent, don't you see? - cleans the lens - voila!''

[@hikingwiththeshackletons]

I love your resilience, positivity and professionalism. I watch a lot of your videos when I need some inspiration. We are experienced hikers, and only just this year moved into wild camping. You are one of the very best channels for this activity, you don’t blow your own trumpet or are patronising like some. Keep them coming, you are helping a lot of people. PS: I do however, think Blue is the better wild camper. 😂😂

[@BUSHMANandBLUE]

Thank you. I just be me and hope that people appreciate it. I’ve nothing to prove in life I just enjoy what I can. 👍👍👍

[@niafer9444]

I find hiking, fastpacking, running and generally getting outside a very humbling and grounding experience. This planet is so beautiful. Being outside makes me grateful to be alive. Thank you for the video and the inspiration o/

[@BUSHMANandBLUE]

Great mate. Many don’t yet get it but hope they will😉

[@nolavout9094]

Oh we do, just some are sceptical because they've had bad experiences of tents collapsing, etc like we did, once but you learn 👍👍

[@DanielErik]

I couldn't agree more. Our home, the only one we got, is so beautiful! We must take care of it! ❤

[@cruisesandland]

I do have to mention that when I am not out hiking and camping and I am sitting at home watching t v waiting to go to bed, I will be watching Blue and you. Even my little chihuahua terrier loves to watch Blue.

Your dog is literally the cutest! 😍 So nice to follow along on your adventure! Sometime I have to try camping in the winter, I never have. I do a lot of crazy stuff, like going for ice baths, but I've yet to camp! Mother Earth is just so beautiful. Thank you for taking us along on this adventure! ☺

[@BUSHMANandBLUE]

Thanks Dan. I prefer winter camping as no one else is around. Obviously there is more kit to carry to keep you warm and safe but worth it.

[@DanielErik]

@@BUSHMANandBLUE oh, is there usually other people around during summer? Here in Sweden that’s very rare, at least in the northern parts! I always have the the whole forest to myself! ☺️ Totally understand why you prefer the winters then. Solitude! ❤️

[@BUSHMANandBLUE]

Summer can be quite busy in many places so often I aim for less known areas.

Sausages .. They are like candles for the body to burn one an hour . Oh and broccoli. .. mmmm Torn between pre cooked and cooked onsite .

[@carolwilson9341]

I love the winter trips with Blue. You have inspired me to snowshoe 2 or 3 times a week. It is still winter in Ontario. Sometimes I take my twig stove and make coffee and lunch. I feel like I am camping and it gets me out, exercised and I look forward to it. And it makes those all important memories. My collie will eat everything, except citrus.

[@lifesahobby]

Well done

[@RobinB828]

Great to see you and blue having fun.

[@justjase1576]

Swapped the rat race down south for the Peak District. I love cycling, so I go out on my gravel bike and explore, no matter what the weather. Different experiences, I think the views are spectacular when its raining, clouds hugging the hills and gaps with a ray of sunlight shining through onto a wet road climbing up a hill. Deer leaping over high dry stone walls. You don't see that watching Netflix.

[@BUSHMANandBLUE]

Exactly that mate. Good life choice👊

[@Pwecko]

That area looked really bleak. All those hills were covered with trees a long time ago. I'd love to see them back again.

[@BUSHMANandBLUE]

Yes there are some wild places not far from people.

[@d.lav.2198]

Limestone bedrock naturally has little tree cover. Not much soil atop. As for bleak...that's the eerie beauty of the limestone Dales.

He definitely is and I am proud to enjoy these adventures with him. I’d be lost without him (he does lead the way😂)

[@beverlymcfarlane8681]

Another nice video, Al. Love how Bluey dog has to supervise your every move when packing up. Just to say, if you haven't a;ready seen it, you must watch Scotland's Mountains latest offering. Sunsets, stunning views of Glenshiel and the best Aurora you'll find in Scotland.

[@crikeymos22]

This is just ridiculous. You are adding the walk to vids now plus overnight camping plus showing the cooking and eating plus positivity messages plus exceptional filming techniques plus perfect choice in any music plus showing in the pub at the end and getting home but most of all you have your dog too. Just perfection all round. Oh you look good too and a tea drinking northerner It’s just too much. ✅✅✅✅✅✅✅

[@thewhofan1964]

Thanks for the video Allen. Funnily enough it was snowing when I walked up there at the end of January. Went all the way up to Mossdale Scar and over to Kettelwell. Since I started wild camping last year, it has all been in that valley from Grassington to Yokenthwaite and for me the scenery is stunning. I will be pushing myself to go further afield this year. That ravine reminds me of a mini Gordale Scar, lol.

[@BUSHMANandBLUE]

It’s a nice area and not that busy at all. Great for trail running😬

I was thinking the same re Gordale Scar. Where is that? I’d love to walk up that dry stream bed.

Hi, just popping in to say thank you. Your videos are always uplifting and positive. I have the same Lanshan tent and deep down were doubting whether it was a good buy and would stand up to weather conditions. Your video showed me that it could. Looking forward to seeing the next videos! Happy Van life!

It’s not great in high winds but it works well most of the time.

How did I miss this one?? I've packed in camping now. But, in winter, I go on what I call a snow hunt up the north pennines. A689 to Alston. Then down to A69 via the A686. 100mile round trip.

Don't know if you're a reader Al but, I'd recommend , 'Meditations on The Peaks' by the great Julius Evola, I won't explain but it's mind blowing regarding the outdoors and the spiritual quest behind the adventure, another great vid mate.

[@BUSHMANandBLUE]

I’ll read when my legs stop working😬

[@James-2342]

Very kewl, maybe you could speak to the walls and fencing,( history of them and purpose) We don't have anything like that here in my part of Canada. Looks like they took a while to build.

[@BUSHMANandBLUE]

Yes I might do at some point. It’s so normal for me to see them as they are everywhere 👍

[@tonyf9984]

I'm sure Al will follow this through at some point, but in the meantime look up 'drystone walls' - plenty of text, images & video available on the web. Yes, they're time-consuming to build (like a never-ending jigsaw-puzzle) but being mortar-free they shift with the ground & elements and so last for quite literally hundreds of years. There's a very old film on KZbin called 'Man of Aran' (the Aran Islands, off the west coat of Ireland),which is fascinating to watch, as it shows how such walls were built on top of huge expanses of bare rock to provide the shelter necessary to allow soil to be quite literally manufactured from sand & seaweed carried up from the shore. And wherever sections of wall have collapsed, the ferocious Atlantic wind has blown all the soil away ...!

Thanks for the video! Very nice! :) Is that the 3 season or the 4 season tent? Do you find that it can be enough in winter if conditions are not too bad?

This is definitely only for calm weather. Yes it will work in winter but not if it’s snowing as it won’t take any snow load nor much wind. Great summer tent if yo7 hike with poles👍

[@andrewstennett3186]

Another great camp out there Al lad. You certainly make the most of your free time wisely and it's superbly documented pal and a pleasure to watch. I went out for a wander on Saturday on a fairly local jaunt but no wild camp but it was a covering of snow that I love as its so peaceful up there. I did pop a couple of pics of twitter. On another note, as I am a proper budget man, I currently walk in Gilert boots that state they are waterproof, they clearly aren't as they leak like a cullender. What what you recommend, my old fella reckons Brasher are a good boot leather or merralls. Some advise and maybe a model would help me if you could help in advice. I am the bloke who's sit mat is a couple of the foil backed laminate flooring underlay which actually works well so go easy on the budget boot recommendation. Cheers in advance pal and keep up the good work and never change Mr Brocolli. Atb fella
