As a bit of safety advice for anyone kayak camping. Do not paddle while wearing your ruck sack. If you tip over while wearing it the trapped air in the bag will put you face down in the water. Better to risk losing your gear than losing your life!
Really great shout this! Great advice and I didn’t have it fastened and stayed extremely close to the shore, but I definitely need a better kayak so I can store it in the front!
You struck lucky there Joe, I was there the other week (paddle boarding/snorkelling) and there must of been 20+ people on the island (2 tents, multiple kayaks, paddleboards etc.). I too camped there several years ago, in a hammock (I did a video of this) and as always respected my surroundings, as you did. Great video mate !
find a way of getting your backpack low down, preferably in the boat behind you if possible with the weight towards the back. works wonders for stability, unless of course theres no other way than wearing it on your back. awesome place been there myself a bit back, the weather didn’t spare me lol
Good video pal, I’ve noticed a few weary people commenting, just ignore them. People seem to forget that the vast majority of land in this country is owned by a tiny percentage of exceedingly wealthy people. If we don’t make the most out of the public land what the hell are we supposed to enjoy. As long as people leave no trace and don’t interfere with wild life then I don’t see a problem personally anyway. I agree with the others who commented in relation to PFD’s and all that. Keep on keeping on.
What an awesome video mate and what an awesome camp. Would love to camp on an island one day. Ignore the haters. So glad I have come across your videos. I have subscribed now. Thank you. 👍🏻
Well done Joe, great adventure in an amazing place & subcribed...👍 I must admit that I was a tad concerned, as someone else commented, when U were in boat with ruckrack on back & I couldn't see any float vest...!?🤔 I have 6 kayaks, 3 solid & 3 inflatables, but would never risk not wearing a FV & U never know how the weather & water conditions could change...!?? My eldest son is about Ur age & also named Joe...! So as a dad, ensuring his safety concerns me more than my own...🙏 I would have loved to have seen a closer look around the island with drone footage to see all of the shoreline, but I haven't a clue what sort of control range those things have or battery time...??🙄 Good that U enjoyed a cooked breakfast, but for £14🤯 it looked like an half empty plate, where was the bacon, egg, mushrooms & toms...?🙄 The Lanshan2 is a great tent & looked well pitched...👊 The only other thing I'd have done is to move the kayak closer to tent, weighed it down, tied it to something or possibly deflated it slightly, as if the wind got up during the night, that could have been long gone by morning & that's when you hope that your phone still has power for a rescue call...!🙄🤣 Stay safe dude, best wishes & look forward to watching more adventures...✔️💯
If you want a quality inflatable kayak i recommend a brand called ITIWIT Decathlon sell them in store and online they do 1 man 2 man and 3 , I have the 3 its extremely stable you can even stand up in it if you really need to been out using it for camping for me and my mate im 6 foot and my mates 6’1 so i recon it should be fine for you too, Its got a maximum payload of 230kg , Great vid
Great video - I'd have been tempted to have the kayak next to my tent, or at the very least pegged to the ground, just in case of high winds etc. - maybe a bit over precautious, but you never know.

Campsite owners rn 🤑🤑🤑🤑 nature’s nature, I clearly illustrate the importance of leaving no trace being subtle setting up late and packing up early. I do understand it can be an issue wild camping is going to happen anyway and it’s important we teach the younger generations how to do it respectfully, I grew up watching a film called swallows and Amazons which was filmed on this island back before everything was monetised, some rules are in place out of respect while some rules are in place with big businesses in mind it’s important we learn the difference, thanks for the comment though
@@JoexplorezYou are very hypocritical and have a peculiar and twisted standpoint on wildcamping. You are fully aware that you are flycamping here, so don't promote flycamping. Wildcamping is something very different in the LDNP and as others have stated in this thread it's not acceptable. It's black and white and the rules are there to help keep our national park the beautiful place it is. You are not an exception to those the rules, as others aren't. @Joexplorez
He talks a lot about responsibility and respect for the environment,not going in the nesting season, pitching late, leaving no trace Young people are lucky to work for £10/hour Campsites charge £40+ for a night these days Wouldn't you prefer that kids are taught to wild camp properly ?
Nothing New, I used to do this in 1977 in the lakes (Particularly Windermere) ... And beyond. I bought my first Inflatable in that year and particularly remember viewing German paddlers using the Metzler Spetz (Inflatable) on the Mittenwald in 1976. I bought modern day inflatables in 2003/4 and used them all over Scotland upto and including grade 4 white water. I used to sleep in my boat with a basher, worked well.... Great video but as I say... Nothing new 👍👍 thanks for sharing
It's a tiny island. By promoting this you are damaging a sensitive location and breaking outdoor access codes. Nothing clever about this at all. The more that copy you the worse that island gets.
I understand where you’re coming from, I never mentioned the name of the island but I did make the viewer aware of the importance of leave No trace and also tidied up as much as I could and did no harm. Wild camping is going to happen whether we like it or not it’s important people know the rules to make sure the landscape remains in pristine condition for generations to come saying that I will try and keep the locations more secrets of going forward thanks for the comment🤝

I was about to say the same thing.

That’s annoying! It does seem to be quite popular saying that it was nice to see no crazy burn marks or litter really when I visited

Dry bag Ana a small length of paranoid with a kids armband attached, gives you time to rescue it.
Wild cat island….. you gave it away as soon as you sed conistan hall 🤣🤣🤣
Great video. Enjoyed the drone footage. New subscriber here.

Wow the drone footage is something else just WOW

Would you say that 2 persons fit in the tent ?
Definitely mate! Me and my gf (I’m 6’2 she’s 5’10) fit in it fine but it’s not massive
It looks like the island used in the Swallows and Amazons film.
Just saw the text dohhh
It is
Pretty sure that was filmed on derwent water
@@wombat5433It was, but they did use the natural harbour of this island as well.
Hahah im editing a video of me camp there last week 😂😂😂 glad i found your channel mate, love your style
Great video - I'd have been tempted to have the kayak next to my tent, or at the very least pegged to the ground, just in case of high winds etc. - maybe a bit over precautious, but you never know.
Did nobody try to move you on?
Great video. From one fellow wild camper to another that's an epic location. Just subbed too 👍
Should have taken a hammock and tarp for this camp!

@@sarahsue42 I'd rather teach young folk not to trespass. It's that simple. To do so, and then post it on RUclips is totally irresponsible!
This is a great spot! Me and a friend visited last year, we ended up camping just off a pebble beach, north of the island.
👍👍
Great video! And what a spot ! 🔥
Is the drone an Air 3?
Air 2 I think it’s quite old now!
@@JoexplorezGive us some 4k videos - nobody wants 1080p 🤣😉
Is this coniston water? Lovely island!
Cool video but could you tell me where you got your hat from please?
Awesome video mate
Loving the content bro! Smashing it 👊🏼
Thank you mate! Much appreciated 🫡
Most excellent video & place to adventure. And professionalism in your video making too. 👍😉
Love the video, been going to lakes since i was a kid love it there.
What an idyllic place to camp! Great inspiring video.

Nice one pal 👌
Cracking video and camp. You come across really well when you’re not pouting on instagram or doing cringey “gorpcore” posts 😂 sorry.
Haha thanks mate, sorry for all that but it’s just directing traffic to what I want to do, the games the game 😣😃
You are not surpose camp on peel island...its to suitable its against all cobservation

You always have to have some bloody egit!!! Saddo
That was mattwright2964 I was referring to not Joe…. Keep up the great work mate 👍
Oh bore off! This isn’t a bloody secret and the people who watch these types of videos are interested in this thing for the right reasons.

Should have put the drone in a drybag, would keep it dry and give it flotation if you capsized
