Winter Camping Adventure In Snowdonia - Using The Fjallraven Abisko lite 2

[@markjones127]

I'm local to there so camp around there all the time, I had an MSR pocket rocket which is a good stove, but it needs a lot of protection in the wind, so for the last 18 months I've been using a SOTO Windmaster which is an amazing stove for the mountains, as the name suggests it works great in the wind. The summit of Pen yr Ole Wen is actually a lot quicker to get to than your estimate, I'd say you could have done it quite easily in 2hrs up and down.

[@Twin_Peaks_Outdoors]

Cheers Mark, I will definitely check out the Soto Windmaster sounds perfect for our needs 😁👍 we will Defo do Pen Yr Ole Wen in the future, thanks for watching ATB Mark & Simon 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿👍👌

[@Twin_Peaks_Outdoors]

Hi Mark, yeah we could have done Pen Yr ole wen in a couple of hours but we stop to film clips all the time so we decided to chill out for a few hours instead. On the plus side it gives us an excuse to come back to do it 😀 that Soto wind master looks a cracking stove ( thanks for the recommendation) ATB Mark and thanks for watching the video 👍

[@MrSuperdoop]

Great one again guys I think I’ll give the champion ago great choice on the crisps⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

[@Twin_Peaks_Outdoors]

Thanks for watching Paul 👍 that beer is nice but it’s strong as 🤣 and the crisps are the bomb 👍 all the best mate

[@KhurshidsChannel]

Very beautiful hike. Thank you for sharing.

[@Twin_Peaks_Outdoors]

Glad you like it 👍 thanks for watching

[@neilgirling1798]

Nice camp gents , I'm sure there's a nice flat spot on that raised platform looking down onto the water 👍

[@Twin_Peaks_Outdoors]

Thanks Neil, what raised platform would that be? Was it near to where our tents were?

[@neilgirling1798]

Yer that's right , as you look at your tents from the lake if you climbed slightly higher behind there's a flat shelf to pitch on , probably ABIT more exposed if windy , but another option 👍

[@Twin_Peaks_Outdoors]

@@neilgirling1798 thanks Neil, one for the future 👍 definitely going back up there 👍

[@Twin_Peaks_Outdoors]

@@neilgirling1798 you are right 😁👍

[@chrishomer]

One of of my favourite spots. Lovely and sheltered. Went up last summer but only a day hike. Took the kids up to see the plane crash remains. Great vid. Liked the intro!

[@Twin_Peaks_Outdoors]

Cheers Chris, thanks for watching I’ve seen your video and that’s the reason we went up there 😁 not sure if I commented on it though , it is a lovely spot for a hike and a camp will definitely be back 😁👍

[@lloydcozens9346]

Cracking video again boys. That helicopter was mad! I've got a brs but mainly use in summer or as a backup. For a gas stove I used to use MSR pocket rocket but it's proper loud and have recently got a soto windmaster. Whilst it's bigger than the brs it's more reliable and better for larger pots or doing more than just boiling water. Glad you enjoyed your trip again :-)

[@Twin_Peaks_Outdoors]

Thanks for watching the video Lloyd 👍 I think we are drawn to the Soto wind master it’s seems like it’s a popular bit of kit and has got good reviews 👍 yeah great camp that was. Hope you enjoy our next one. ATB Simon & Mark

[@lloydcozens9346]

Just wondering what you think of absiko lite 2... if you could choose that or your msr access which would you choose and why? :-) I'm obviously looking at more tents :-)

[@daniellyne1]

An other cracking video lads looked cold there but some great footage 👍🏼

[@Twin_Peaks_Outdoors]

Thanks for watching Dan 👍 awesome place for a camp, stunning scenery up there 👍 ATB Simon & Mark

[@Everydaybackpacker]

Absolutely gorgeous place! Would love to see it sometime. Great video! We have all definitely watched as a hiking partner fell into the drink and been glad it was them that went first, haha. The drone shots were stunning! The helicopter was pretty intense, while doing a study abroad in the Bahamas we were buzzed by a U.S. coast guard helicopter. Got close enough that the down wash rocked our sailboat.

[@Twin_Peaks_Outdoors]

Cheers and thanks for watching, it’s a lovely area with loads of camping spots, it’s the first time I managed to record him going into the water he does it quite often lol the helicopter was a bit unnerving tbh but I can’t imagine being in a boat with one overhead - wouldn’t fancy that lol ATB Mark & Simon 👍😁

[@adge_ventures4915]

Such a cracking spot. Ideal for a blast up with some luxuries for a chilled camp 😊 Hope you're both keeping well. Adge.

[@Twin_Peaks_Outdoors]

Thanks for watching Adge, it’s a great camp spot up there and it’s not a massive hike to get to it 👍 ATB mate

[@DaveGoodman1959]

Now that was a great camp Mark and Simon like you said makes a change with the better weather making it nice in the evening. That champion beer is good beer I do enjoy that one. Can’t believe you drive all the way up from Cardiff. TFS guys and roll on the better weather 🍺🏕️👍

[@Twin_Peaks_Outdoors]

Cheers Dave, the weather was on our side for once and it was great to just chill out by the tent on a winters evening. I do like that Champion beer although I think it was too strong for Simon 😁, the 4 hour drive up isn’t too bad as we’ve got used to it now plus I’m up North Wales quite regularly with Karen visiting her mum and dad 😁👍

[@whatsnottohike]

Nice to see some sunshine at last! Looked a beautiful hike to do. As for a stove, I've never read anything bad about the Soto windmaster. Japanese always make decent gear. ATB fellas!

[@Twin_Peaks_Outdoors]

Definitely great to have a sunny day for a change 😁 this Soto windmaster name has got a mention in the comments a few times now so it looks like I will be getting one of them cheers mate 😁👍

[@markmurphy7356]

Before you buy a new stove try a different gas. I use a Soto windmaster and had the same problem with the Coleman gas, I changed to Primus gas which works brilliantly even in sub zero temperatures. Great video. ATB Mark.

[@Twin_Peaks_Outdoors]

Cheers Mark, it’s defo the stove I used it on my brothers gas and it was the same, as for the windmaster I like the look of that so it look like I’ll be getting one of them - thanks for the recommendation 😁👍

[@holmesaway]

If you’re on the lookout for a new stove then the pocket rocket is a great choice, the 2 is great but if you can stretch to the deluxe it’s worth it. Great video as usual guys 👌🏻

[@Twin_Peaks_Outdoors]

Hi Darren thanks for watching the video I’ve been looking at the pocket rocket for a while 👍 we love MSR gear. Gonna way up the cost before I pull the trigger 👍 thanks for commenting pal and ATB Mark & Simon

[@OutandaboutwithSpencer]

Great spot, I love the little scramble up from there to Pen yr Ole Wen. I recommend the msr pocket rocket deluxe, I’ve never had any problems with mine. 👍

[@Twin_Peaks_Outdoors]

Cheers Spencer, MSR do make good gear I will defo check it out. Cheers mate and thanks for watching 😁👍

[@charlenemalson8095]

Loved those drone shots. I'm definitely going to get one of those this Yr 👌 I would have shit myself with that police helicopter hovering above 😅😅 gosh,it sounded windy the next morning haha. What a contrast to the night before haha. Brilliant video again,as expected 👌

[@Twin_Peaks_Outdoors]

Cheers Charlene, drones are an extra bit of footage which make a video more interesting I reckon as for the helicopter I always get a bit nervous when one of those come too close, we seem to see a fair few of them on our wild camps 😁. As for the weather it wouldn’t be a wild camp without a bit of wind - especially when we get out lol 😂😂👍👌

[@davemassingham2096]

Great vid guys did you not see the sign no wild camping 😂😂😂nice spot 👍

[@Twin_Peaks_Outdoors]

Cheers Dave, lovely spot mate have you been there before? As for the no wild camping sign I reckon we turn a blind eye to that one lol 😂

@@Twin_Peaks_Outdoors I love the ogwen area but it’s far to busy in summer

[@Taffwildmanofthewoods]

What wonderful video with breathtaking views. It's such a shame the Brecon Beacons doesn't have such mountains. It's always worth wearing gaiters if there is any chance of a water crossing especially this time of year. What a change in the weather 😮 but you got back safely. Atb Taff 🤠👊👊

[@Twin_Peaks_Outdoors]

Awwww thank you Taff, it’s an awesome place that’s why we keep returning 😁 we do normally wear gaiters but I don’t think Simon was expecting to go in the drink lol thanks for watching mate see you soon Mark & Simon 👍👌

[@CampingDan85]

It seems like forever that you were out without the rain and wind. But brilliant video and epic location for camp. Great selection of beers and food. ATB Dan 👍 👍 👍 👍

[@Twin_Peaks_Outdoors]

Thanks for watching Dan it was awesome just to go on a hike and wild camp in decent weather for a change 👍 was cold but great to get back out 👍 ATB mate

[@WalksWithOlly]

I think you guys were e right to save Pen yr Ole Wen for another day. Great conditions for a wild camp, with or without the helicopter! 😄 Looking forward to your next. 👍

Cheers Olly, thankfully we picked a decent day 😁 the helicopter was a bit unnerving lol 😂 thanks for watching we enjoyed this camp 😁👍
