- Join me on another camp in the beautiful English Lake District. As usual the weather was a bit unpredictable in these mountains. Aside from a few rain showers, fog, and wind, the skies eventually clear and I'm able to find a beautiful spot to pitch the tent with a great view of the surrounding mountains. Hope you enjoy watching!

I came across your channel by accident but will definitely be watching more. I agree with a lot of comments about how good your videos are and enjoyable to watch. I've suffered greatly years ago with two kidney stones, OMG, I can confirm that it was the worst pain I have endured in a lifetime of sports and outdoors injuries. Apparently, dehydration is a big factor, so taking on water regularly even when not walking is important. Keep hydrated, and looking forward to more of your videos.
Welcome to the channel! Really happy to hear you are enjoying the vides. I haven't always been great about drinking enough water while at home but after that stone, I DEFINITELY make more of an effort to drink more water now. Never want that to happen again. Appreciate you watching and taking the time to comment. Hope you have a nice week!
You are very good at this. One of the best. No hysteria or repetitive unnecessary commentary and no ego. I get the cooking thing. I love it too. Even on day hikes I get the stove out. My wife says she can't understand all the hassle, but the enjoys the results. That's a great walk too, familiar to us. Outstanding vistas beautifully captured. Thank you.
Really appreciate your comment and thank you! Cooking is always a really enjoyable part of my trip. Nice to unwind and make a meal in a beautiful place. Hope you are having a nice weekend
@@GoingSoloOutdoors if you fancy a place with the missus and kids we have stayed at High Swinklebank Farm for 14 yrs now once or twice a year. I think it is still £330 in the school holidays. Working sheep farm in a less visited valley. Kindly folks. The Park is otherwise rather expensive in peak season. Highly recommended. Peace.
I am currently lying in bed with the electric blanket on 😂, so much work goes into making these videos, very much appreciated 👍🏼
😀👍 sounds cozy! Editing definitely takes some time but I enjoy the process. Really appreciate you watching. Take care
I always look forward to watching your videos! Beautiful and calm.
The continued support is truly appreciated! All the best
This should have much more views. Amazing video
Very kind of you. Glad you enjoyed the video!
Great job on this video. I really loved the drone footage near the end. Im sitting at home, but your videos take me back to when I was doing a lot of backpacking trips myself.
Thank you! I often carry the drone and don't get to use it because of the weather, so it's nice when I can actually include a bit of footage from that vantage point. Definitely gives a better sense of the surroundings. Hope you have a great week!
Where did you find that cool cutting board?
@@bradyturner4971 it comes with the Stanley frypan set 👍
Pressed the like button before I had watched the video because I knew I would be in for a treat. I was right. ❤
Very very kind 🙏. Glad you enjoyed it!
No video is complete without the sound of the rain on the tent.🌧️
The rain hit at the right time also 👍. Very relaxing way to fall asleep. Thanks for watching.
I just found your channel but will definitely continue to watch it looks so peaceful ❤❤
Welcome to the channel! Really appreciate the support 🙏😀
STUNNING visuals!
Appreciate your calm demeanour.
You pack a LOT into these videos for us. Very grateful 🇦🇺
Appreciate you watching the video! I always love coming to camp here. It’s a very pretty place. Hope you have a nice week. ATB
Thank you for these peaceful moments in my busy and harsh cityrush life!
My pleasure. Thank you for watching!
A lovely watch as always, capturing the atmosphere of the mountains. Salmon looked delicious and the Enan looks a great shelter. Glad to hear the ER trip was resolved - the joys of getting older! Have a top time on your multi-day adventure mate; ATB
Thanks buddy. I always enjoy getting to take the Enan out. Great little shelter for the weight. Hopefully no more trips to the ER for me. A least we were able to quickly figure out the issue. I’ve always looked at aging as a privilege. I could do without the trips to the ER though 😅. I’m looking forward to this multi day trip. Hopefully the Scottish weather is kind to me and the midges aren’t too bad 🤞. ATB
Your photography is the best! Such beautiful countryside.
Thank you! I always really enjoy coming here. It’s beautiful in any weather.
Feel your pain,kidney stones are one of the worst pains imaginable.take it easy and thank you for the video 👍👍🍺
Thanks. I always heard they were very painful but didn’t quite understand until now 😅. Appreciate you watching. Take care
Look after yourself Todd.Amazing as always.🏴
Much appreciated! Thanks for watching 😀
One of the key points I’ve taken from a previous video of yours is ensuring you must be prepared for any weather despite our varied weather forecasts 🤦♂️Another superb video I’ve enjoyed, but more importantly I hope you are on the mend now and it was good news when you visited the hospital 🤞Thank you as always for your amazing content. Marc.
Thank you Marc! Definitely best to always be prepared. I’ve made the mistake of relying on a weather report too many times. Thank you for the well wishes. I actually need to contact the hospital. For whatever reason I still haven’t received the results for my second CT scan, but I feel perfectly fine now 👍. Really appreciate you watching the vid
Another great video. Your meals are a class above anyone else. Probably upset Kent Survival 🤣
Thank you! Glad you are enjoying the videos. This definitely wasn’t the fanciest meal but it’s nice to still cook a little on a multi day trip 😀
You are so used to having crap weather this is an unexpected gentle camp! Nice montage at the end!
Thanks! It was nice to be able to spend some time outside the tent in the evening with that view 👍. Thanks for watching!
gods what an absolutely gorgeous spot to pitch! your videos always bring me such peace, with your camera work and the drone shots, its all so very calming.
Thank you, that is great to hear! That’s exactly the kind of thing I hope to share with these videos. Coming to these places is very calming to me.
Great video as always!!
Thank you. Hope you have a nice week!
Nothing better than a coffee and spending 49 minutes of my morning watching the best hiking channel.
The weather here is utterly nuts. We had 100kph wind storm a week ago which rippes out trees on the property and we spent 4 days with machines cleaning up.
I bought a Mont Supercell 4 season tent the day before and was going to pitch it. Lucky I didnt.
Mont is an Australian brand and if you like tents worth considering. Id love to see one being used in the UK.
Too kind! We’ve had a pretty mild wet summer here so far. Currently getting another warm spell at the moment. I wonder how long it will last. Haven’t heard of Mont. Not that I need anymore tents but I will definitely have a look. Really appreciate you watching. Hope you enjoy the rest of your week 👍
What a wonderful place!
Always love coming to the Lake District! Really appreciate you watching
I always end up feeling hungry after watching your vidios!
took me nearly a week to find a tiny hole in a sea to summit pad , tenacious tape fixed it.
😀👍 it was a tasty meal. Once I got home I was able to find the tiny pinhole and get it fixed with the repair kit that comes with the pad. Really appreciate you watching!
Hiking channel+cooking channel😊. Love it.
MEeee too!
Glad you don’t mind my cooking 😀👍
The only thing I really dislike about you and your videos is the fact that it makes me want to head into the mountains and Belgium has exactly 0 mountains 😭. Lame joke, nice video as always, what a wonderfull tent that Enan is. Looks like I need to start planning another Scotland trip 😊ATB, Sam.
Thanks Sam. It is still a bit of a drive for me to get to here but it is nice to have the mountains relatively close. Always love the views! Really appreciate you watching. Hope you have a nice week.
Its amazing videk camp. Love from Indonesia🇲🇨😊
🙏😁 appreciate the support
Incredible views of the good stuff from that spot. See why you picked it.
Definitely was happy to find this spot 😀! Thanks for watching
Finally managed to watch this recent upload! I camped out on High Gait Crags the same night I think judging by your insta posts. I spent the Thursday exploring around Sampsons Stones. Hope your feeling better now, Atb Luke
Thanks Luke. Feeling much better now. Absolutely love going to the Lakes. So many great place to explore. Appreciate you watching!
I JUST WANTED TO SAY THANK YOU, PAL, AS I OFTEN WATCH A VIDEO OF YOURS BEFORE BED, IT'S RELAXING AND I ENJOY BOTH YOUR STYLE AND HOST DEMEANOR BUT SELDOM MAKE A COMMENT ON ANY CH. JUST WANTED YOU TO KNOW THAT EACH NIGHT I TUNE IN, IT ALWAYS TURNS OUT APPRECIATED,. BLESSINGS TO YA FROM OREGON. ... MIKE.
Thank you, Mike. I really appreciate you taking the time to comment. I’m really happy to hear that you’re enjoying the videos. All the best.
Another brilliant camp and hike. Thanks for sharing x
Thank you for watching! Really appreciate the continued support 🙏😀
That would be the kind of spot to revisit every now and then... Beautiful
Definitely a beautiful spot with a beautiful view. Typically this area is quite windy though. It was really nice to get a calm night here 👍. All the best Bob.
Really enjoy your videos.Always so calm and beautifully done even when the weather is atrocious. Your camp cooking is an absolute treat.Hope the kidney stones have exited .
Really happy to hear you are enjoying the videos. It was nice the weather cleared on this camp and I was able to enjoy a bit of time outside the tent in the evening. Feeling much better now. Hopefully I will never have to deal with kidney stones again 🤞
You and stephen j reid make the best wild camping videos. The videography is incredible. I cant get enough
Really appreciate the kind comment. I do my best to capture as much of the trip as I can so that anyone watching gets to experience the entire camp with me 😃⛰️
With so much madness in the world right now Watching your vlog's reminds us the world is still a beautiful place .......Your cooking skills as always are top notch another amazing camp beautifully put together always a joy to watch
It’s always a pleasure to get out for a hike and a camp in these mountains. Just happy I can share the experience. Really appreciate you continuing to watch my videos 😀👍. ATB
That lonely cloud, may take up poetry just for that. Thanks again.
😀 The Lonely Cloud would be a good title 👍
Hope you're feeling better. Love your vlogs. Take care of yourself ❤
Thank you! Feeling much better 😃👍.
Recently came across the channel and I love the videos!! Your cinematography is outstanding and I hope you are proud of your work!! Also would you be kind enough to tell me what your rain jacket is? Looks awesome!
Welcome to the channel. The filming and editing definitely takes a bit of extra work, but it will be really nice one day when I can look back at these trips. Just happy others can enjoy them as well. I am wearing the REI Rainier jacket. It’s lightweight and relatively cheap. It’s only a 2.5 layer jacket so it will eventually wet out in long downpours, but it works well for just short sporadic showers. Really appreciate you watching and taking the time to comment. Hope you’re having a nice weekend.
Lovely, peaceful camp! We felt the peace as soon as we turned the video on- even with the rain. Dinner looked awesome, so beautifully prepared. And gorgeous views! Thank you so much! However, we are so sorry that you suffered with kidney stones..been there, done that! The first time was the worst, because we did not know what it was. Very painful, but pain meds helped…Praying you will not have to undergo that again- and that you have passed the second one!
Glad you enjoyed the video. I was very fortunate the weather cleared and I found a spot with such a nice view. It’s always nice when can comfortably setup camp and enjoy a bit of time outside the tent. I still haven’t gotten the results back for my second CT scan but I’m feeling good so hopefully everything has past. Really appreciate your comment. All the best
That is one epic spot, and supper looked epic too!
Always nice to prepare a good meal. Just happy the rain stopped and I was able to sit outside and enjoy that view. Appreciate you taking the time to comment!
Mate! Kidney stones are no joke. Right up there as a 9.8 on the pain scale… right under an abscess on your arse (which I’ve also had and would put at a solid 11/10)
As you say, getting old is no fun! Love the videos though chap, and your editing is getting better and better!
Thanks! I have always heard. The kidney stones were painful, but I definitely had no idea just how painful 😅. Thankfully, I’m feeling much better.
Excellent video! Your little hanging lantern throws a ton of light. Is it the Black Diamond?
Thanks. It’s the black diamond Remoji lantern 👍
I watch your videos (and other camping videos) around bed time. Just to help unwind. So I really appreciate you editing down the part of the electric air pump 👍🏻 Great video as always!
😆👍 the air pump sound is very loud. Appreciate you watching!
@@GoingSoloOutdoors yes, editing out the air pump completely would be fantastic 😅
I love your camping style always calm ...
Thanks. These trips are always a nice reset button for me. Regardless of the weather it’s always a joy to get out and camp here. Really appreciate you taking the time to comment 😀👍
Love your well made videos! So inspiring, and your food always look delicious! Like my Enan as well 😀. Greetings from Sweden.
My green Enan is my one & only tent. It's always provided me with shelter from wind, rain, snow when up in the high Sierras.
Warm Regards from Reno, Nevada, U.S.A.
Thanks! Nice to have a good meal to go along with a great view. I was just happy the weather cleared so I could enjoy a bit of time outside the tent. The Enan is a fantastic tent 👍
Nice...
Thanks 😀
Another great video. Sorry to hear you’ve been unwell my friend.
Thanks! Feeling much better now 👍
I love that tent gotta get one
It’s a nice size for a lightweight tent. Can handle some rough weather as well 👍. Appreciate you watching.
The ENAN is my one & only tent. Much much stronger when properly pitched like in this video than most people give it credit for. I'm regularly in the high Sierras at 9,000' - 10,000' elevation & always have strong gusty winds. No problem.
Warm Regards from Reno, Nevada, U.S.A.
Thanks for your great camping videos. I hope you get well soon. Take care always.
Feeling good 👍 really appreciate you watching!
Excellent once again .
I have family who live in the States ( Carolinas and the Gulf - Destin area , Niceville ) and have spent a lot of time there myself .
What would you say the main differences are ( apart from the weather ) regarding safety , equipment , e.t.c in comparison to the UK .
Have always wanted to do the Apalachian Trail myself .
Brilliant channel and look forward to your next one
Thank you! I would say the main difference is animals. They are absolutely zero concern here in the UK. I used to camp in areas that had many bears back in the states so I would have to cook away from my tent and hang a bear bag when camping. Other animals like raccoons and rodents were also a nuisance at times. So because I don’t have to worry about animals here, wind and rain are always my top concern when going out for a camp here in the UK especially when I’m camping in exposed areas like I do in the lake District and in Snowdonia. I never worried about wind too much in the states because typically there are trees around which disrupt most of those winds. I would just have to find a spot near healthy trees. Really appreciate your comment. I hope that answered your question.
@GoingSoloOutdoors Absolutely and so thoroughly.
I thought the Animals would be the main difference ( snakes in Florida would be mine , Cottonmouths which I have seen a few of ) .
Brilliant channel you have here .
I always look forward to your videos coming out, another great video mate
Thanks! Always good to be back out in the mountains. Hope you enjoy the rest your week.
Great camp man (that salmon!!) and great video as usual. Hope your kidneys are fine now. If it is of any help, I'm 46 and haven't been to the ER since I turned 40, so no omen!
👍 I’m feeling good so hopefully I won’t have any more issues with the kidney. Appreciate your comments as always. All the best buddy.
Absolutely love your videos, great hike great camp and weather? Well what do you expect lol. Hope the stones come rolling out 🤙
😀👍 Still waiting on the results of the second CT scan but I’m feeling good. I was very happy the skies cleared in the evening enough for me to enjoy some time outside the tent. All in all the weather wasn’t bad at all. It actually rained at the right time to make it quite relaxing. ATB
So sorry to hear you were in pain. Thank you for another great video! Hope the second stone, also, passed. Take care!
Still waiting on the results of the second CT scan but I’m feeling much better so I’m assuming it’s already passed. Really appreciate you watching and taking the time to comment 😀
Beautiful camp spot and epic views indeed, 'chef dinner comme d'habitude'.
The weather wasn't optimal but not too bad also.
Bummer about that mattress leak and the hourly task. That coffee must have been very good.
I was really happy to find this spot as the winds died down. The rains came and went at all the right times as well 👍. It was nice to get to spend a bit of time outside of the tent after making dinner. The mattress definitely was not ideal, but I’ve since found the leak and fixed it. That coffee was needed. Appreciate you watching. ATB
The food is amazing as ever. Does that spit all over the tent and ground sheet and if so, how do you clean it please?
A beautiful and calm video, thank you
Thanks 😀. Occasionally I might get a bit of splatter on the vestibule floor. Every time I get back from a trip I always set up my tents in the back garden and give them a nice wipe down 👍
Love your videos thank you 🙏 for taking me camping 🏕️ with you 🙏💯🇺🇸🏕️
Thank you for watching 😀👍. Hope you enjoy the rest of your week!
Wherever you go, there are good fields.
This is such a beautiful place. Really appreciate you watching.
You KNOW the word "Enan" immediately captured my full attention. Yes, It's my one & only tent, Green & with a footprint & all the extra guyout lines.
While hiking, one of the most difficult decisions a hiker must make is when to STOP & add or remove layers of clothing.
7:17; Excellent video of you boulder hopping UP
Delta pegs are far more secure than the pegs that come with the tent. Hopefully, you'll put a big heavy rock atop each delta peg to insure they don't pull out of the ground in the middle of the night.
Excellent, taut pitch! & with the footprint. I've ALWAYS left both ends open for ventilation. Were your vents at each end of the tent open or closed?
You eat better than anyone on youtube. Watching you fix your meals is one of my attractions to you & your channel.
Your Enan will take far more strong gusty winds than you give it credit for. I KNOW because I'm often at 9,000'-10,000' elevation in the high Sierras where it is almost always strong gusty windy.
The Enan tent floor & footprint are both bulletproof 70D triple coated material - floor material doesn't get any better. I've never felt the need to double pole & don't even have one.
MSR makes a much better metal pot holder with much longer leg extensions.
So many of your meals include Salad onions. And Salmon is my preferred meat protein.
36:00 The drone footage added excellent perspective to your campsite & surroundings
Bummer - on your sleeping pad.
Pole shock cord isn't included in the repair kit. I called & asked Hilleberg for a length which they sent me. Well worth having, just in case.
Warm Regards from Reno, Nevada, U.S.A.
The Enan is definitely my favorite tent when I want to go lightweight. I love the delta pegs. Sometimes I will put a stone on the Delta pegs if the conditions are absolutely terrible, but I’ve actually never had them pulled out even with no stone on top in very strong winds. Definitely great pegs to have for any tent that requires tension to pitch. I always leave the vents at the ends of the tent open as well. I’ve actually never closed them even in windy, rainy conditions, and I’ve had no issues. You mentioned that you don’t think I give the Enan enough credit in the wind. I definitely think it has the strongest strength to weight ratio of any single pole tent I have used. I’ve had it in 50 mph winds myself and it survived. However, it is still only a single pole tent, and even though it can survive strong winds, I have other options that are much better suited for conditions that are extremely windy. Especially if I don’t want to deal with any fabric blowing about near my head while sleeping. It is nice to know I can still trust this tent if the weather does make a turn for the worst. That’s why I felt comfortable pitching it in a location that was a bit exposed once I got an updated weather report. Glad you liked the drone footage. I always like to use the drone because I can give the viewer a better sense of my surroundings in the video. As always, I really appreciate and look forward to your comments. Take care 😃
Your outdoor culinary skills are well impressive. I did question the why bother? but i now realize its not about the convenience, its about the whole experience and when you are so well preparared - as you are, then I totally get it. The reward is so amplified. Also, when i look at those mountains with their soft weathered ridge lines I think oold ancient rock formations.
Thank you! You’re absolutely right. I really enjoy cooking so getting to make myself a nice meal at the end of a hike is really enjoyable and the finished product always feels more rewarding. You can definitely feel that this land has a long history. Really appreciate you watching and taking the time to comment. ATB
I love it up there between the Langdales and the Scafell range.
Either up at 3 tarns or down in the valley beyond at Lingcove Beck, I've had some amazing camps.
You have me worried about my Tensor now though, it's not failed yet but I'll be keeping my fingers crossed from now on.
I really enjoy coming to this area of the Lakes to find a bit of solitude. The stunning views in every direction is also nice. I have had mine for 6.5 years with no issues so I wouldn’t worry too much. It was also extremely easy to fix once I found the leak 👍
Great video. Lovely pitch! I was in the same spot back in February hiding from the wind 😅 ATB
Thanks! Such a great spot to pitch the tent. I was really happy the winds died down so I was able to get a nice quiet night in the tent.
Lovely camping trip. Thank you for sharing. 😊👍 miss you til next time. My Sister-in-law gets kidney stones. They are the WORSE!!
Thank you for watching! Currently working on the edit for my Scotland trip 👍
Good to see you again on everyone's favourite spots. Channel Logo not displayed on video some reason. i have to go back and check other videos of you, i thought it was exist. i must be wrong. anyway ~Thank you for great video and simple tent setup. Rams
i am wrong, no logo on previous vidoes.
Good to be back in the mountains! I only show the channel logo in the beginning of the video. And depending on your screen resolution, it may show up in the bottom right hand corner when watching on a phone. Really appreciate you watching. Hope you enjoy the rest of your week. All the best.
Great video as always. Im so glad it was a bit longer
😀👍 glad you liked it. Hope you enjoy the rest of your week!
@@GoingSoloOutdoorsisn't that the tarn that the wind blew your hat in last year?
@@NKdidit.24 no that was in Wales. The wind tries its best to take my hat all the time
@@GoingSoloOutdoors 😂
Awesome. Been waiting for a new video. Keep up the work.
Appreciate your patients. I'm beginning to pack for a multi day trip in the highlands so hopefully you won't have to wait as long for the next video!
Man, I love your videos of camping in the mountains! I knew you had kidney stones the minute you started taking about it. My sons dad had that happen and he vomited violently and was deathly sick. Those things are like, to a man passing a bowling ball. Now you know what it's like when a woman is in labor! 😂
😂👍 yeah the vomitting was definitely unexpected. I hope I never have to deal with that again. Really appreciate you watching. Hope you have a nice weekend.
Nice video, makes me want to go out and do stuff like this. Are you not scared of crazy people finding you alone at night in the middle of nowhere? I Unfortunately watched a lof of scary hiking video's 😂.
It would be crazy to hike here at night so I’m not too worried about other people. I rarely see anyone 👍. Really appreciate you watching and taking the time to comment
Every time you post a video featuring the Hilleberg Enan, I get one step closer to buying it ... :D
It’s definitely my favorite lightweight tent. It has a very impressive weight to strength ratio and is extremely fast/easy to pitch 👍
It is my one & only tent. I'm out in the boonies in the high Sierras at elevations between 9,000 - 10,000'.. It's always provided me with reliaable shelter during strong gusty windy weather all night, rain, & snow.
Warm Regards from Reno, Nevada, U.S.A.
Welcome back..thought you'd been abducted,lol.Great video,stunning views,and your choice of music near the end seemed to blend perfectly with the scenery around you.10 out of 10 my friend.
And kidney stones? I had them years ago,never experienced pain like it.Looking forward to your next one.
Choke dii as they say in Thailand.(good luck).
😂👍 not abducted! Thanks for the comment. Glad you liked the music during the drone footage. I always have such a hard time picking music so glad to hear you think it worked well. I heard kidney stones were painful, but boy I didn’t expect it to hurt that much 😅. Hopefully I don’t ever have to deal with that again. Really appreciate you watching. All the best 👍
Great video as usual. Unlike you I prefer hiking when it is cool, with the odd shower. For me, hiking in sunny sweltering heat is hell on earth. Thankfully I live in Scotland where no one has seen the sun since 1983!!!
Thanks! Don’t get me wrong, I definitely prefer cooler temps to warmer temps and my favorite is actually hiking and camping in the snow. I just wish I could get an accurate forecast for once 😂. I’m actually heading up to the Highlands next week for a multi day trip 😃👍
Man: climbs up foggy rocky path with great effort. Sheep: maaaaaaah.
👍😂 Sounds about right. Just another day for them. Really appreciate watching and taking the time to comment!
Getting older definitely is not for wimps. Ha. 50 hits harder than 40 fyi.
Great video!
😀👍 Thanks! I was definitely a bit of a surprised, having to take a trip to the hospital but I’ve always looked at aging as a privilege. Far too many people die young so I’m thankful for each year I get older. I will just tackle each new challenge as it comes. Always appreciate your comments.
Watching you using the enan has got me thinking. I currently use the mld duomid xl in summer and love it.. so roomy and so lightweight. Winter I use the southern cross 2 and really like that too, sturdy and room for my border collie, problem is its heavy, twice the weight of the enan in fact. Anyway my question is, in your opinion, would you say the enan is up to winter camping in Uk only. Great video and you certainly struck lucky with the weather 👌
Thanks! I was really happy the weather cleared in the evening so I got to enjoy a bit of time outside the tent. I personally don’t use the Enan in the winter because the ends of the tent are mesh panels and provide a good bit of airflow throughout the tent. In the winter, I prefer to have a tent that’s a bit more enclosed and larger. Especially when it’s potentially wet and windy for many hours. I think the southern Cross 2 that you’re using is better suited for winter than the Enan. According to Hillberg the Enan is a three season tent. However, like most Hilleberg tents this tent is built very well and is definitely capable for winter use if there’s no snow and you don’t mind a cold draft. But I’d personally stick to the tent you’re using. Hope that answers your question.
I have the green Enan, it is my one & only tent. I have my doubts about sufficient interior space for more than 1 person. I wouldn't try to crowd in a dog.
Warm Regards from Reno, Nevada, U.S.A.
@@azclaimjumper great to hear from you, my sister in law lives just outside Reno, you sure get some proper snow over there don’t you🤣. Thanks for the advice and yeah i’ll probably not go with the Enan as i never go out without the border collie. Take care and thanks for your comment
@@philjones3335 Consider the Nallo 2-person tent, it's a tunnel configuration whereas the Soulo is a "Dome" configuration - same weight.
@@azclaimjumper yeah, i have had a nallo 2 and a fjallraven abisko lite 2. Out of those i preferred the lite 2 but unfortunately i don’t really like tunnel tents, just don’t seem to work for me. Looking like i will stick with the southern cross 2 for now, but you can never have the ideal tent can you🤣
Looks so romantic and wild but in reality cold,wet & windy from 35degrees in air con Singapore 😅
These temps were actually pretty warm and mild compared to how it starts to get in the autumn. I think I actually prefer the colder temps and camps in the snow ❄️. The feeling of isolation you can get here is very nice.
🤙😊
Appreciate you watching Jeremy 🙏👍. ATB man
Your content is great, im loving the landscape 🤙@GoingSoloOutdoors
@Lonewolfwildcamping Thanks, that means a lot coming from you! The landscape is definitely quite a bit different than what I use to hike back in the states, but I’ve really grown to love it. Even the wet and windy weather 😅
@GoingSoloOutdoors stay safe and enjoy brother 💪🤙🏕
Great vid as always, hope all is now sorted with the kidney stones ATB 👍
😀 Thanks! I feel fine, just waiting on the results of the second CT scan.
Thank you.
Thank you for watching!
I am from India & I really enjoy watching your videos...
I always wait eagerly for your new video, if possible please upload the video a little faster so that we can enjoy it more...🥰😊😊
I wish I could make a video every week, but that’s just not possible. My responsibilities with my family and kids will always come first and going out for a camping trip every week just isn’t possible at the moment. I am planning to head up to the Scottish Highlands for a multi day trip next week though, so hopefully I’ll have another video out in the next few weeks. I really appreciate the continued support. All the best
is this the 8" summit skillet pan from Jetboil or is it a larger one? Love the videos thanks
Yes this is the 8” summit skillet 👍. Appreciate you watching 😀
@@GoingSoloOutdoorsawesome thanks for the response. I just bought an Enan myself (should get it in 1-2 days) but I haven't bought a sleeping pad yet. are you using a 25" wide pad in this? just curious as the ends of the tent are 23" but it tapers down to that length so I think a 25" wide pad might work. Im thinking that this is what you've got in there based on how it looks but I wasnt sure.
@@drewskeez1156 I am using a 25” regular length pad and it fits perfectly 👍. Not sure how a long pad would fit though. Hope you enjoy your Enan! It’s a fantastic lightweight tent 😀. ATB
This is awesome. Good job mate. I kist want to know the brand of your knife that you using if you don’t mind
Thanks! I am using a Fontani Zuava. They are handmade in Scarperia, Italy. It’s been a great little knife 👍
@@GoingSoloOutdoors thnk appreciate it. The knife is piece of art
The good life in a Hilleberg Hilton. It is what it is. When have white caps on a tarn of water it may be time to move to a new homesite. Beautiful place good or bad weather. That sauce has to be delicious. Scottish salmon, just from Scotland. Pretty nice when you get up and there's no frost or snow, fairly dry, what's not to like. Nescafe, Azure, little kick coffee. Or Africafe, run back to the car.. Great feeling when that BB drops into the water. Good fortune with the other one. Cranberry juice, lots water. I have issues with mine, sweating is bad and have done way too much of that of late. Runs my function levels down. You better have some percocets with you. Too damn far to crawl and no one to hear. I will be 69 in about a month. 41 is young but things start to change around then. Wife goes crazy with the change, younger women start looking better, arms aren't long enough to read the new stove directions. All part of it. Then you wake up one day and you are sixty. All good. Next time. Good luck on the check up. Get it taken care of.
I really enjoy camps here. I agree, I find it always beautiful regardless of the weather. This is definitely one of my favorite meals to make it home. I prefer using the Scottish salmon as opposed to the Alaskan just because it holds together better in cubes when you’re cooking it in the pan. I’m feeling pretty good now. I still haven’t gotten the results back from the second CT scan, though. Hopefully it’s gone. Really appreciate you watching and taking the time to comment. Hope you have a nice weekend.
How did your camera fare from the accident in the last video? Hope it's still in good shape.
I actually posted a hammock camping video after the pack rafting trip, but I forgot to mention the camera in that video. After two weeks in a bowl of rice, the camera worked perfectly. However, I did unfortunately have to replace the lens. But that’s better than having to replace the entire set up I suppose. Really appreciate you watching. ATB
What tent is that i like it
This is the Hilleberg Enan. A bit pricey but they are handmade and very durable.
Hilleberg Enan - easy to pitch & will provide shelter during strong gusty windy weather, hard & long rain storm, & will easily protect you in any weather in America.

Just turned 50 last week... I wish I was 41 mate ;)
Wines and scotch only get better with age so why can’t we? 👍😉
Ps- gear failure. Im paranoid nowdays regarding gear failure. Had weather predicted as sunny and we chose a light tent. Well it howled storms and snow. Tent failed. This year the soles of my Scarpa boots fell off mid hike (as too did my daughters the other day), and my gaiters lost elasticity. Anyway, bought the new Zamberlains from the Keswick boot Co (great people and best advice), and chose the 4 season tent for its rugged design etc. i cant go through another tent/boot failure. Walking in swampy long grass in peak snake season with no soles is a massive disaster
Comments like your is the reason I read 'em & enjoy 'em as much as watching the video.

Having a boot failure is a big deal in that situation. I have been fortunate and haven’t had too many gear failures over the years. I did have a popular (and expensive) US brand tent fail on me in harsh weather once before. Fortunately it was warm enough and it just made things uncomfortable. But gear failures can definitely cut a trip short or put you at serious risk depending on the type of gear that’s failed and the conditions. One of the reasons I use Hilleberg tents more often than not is just because they have proven their reliability time and time again. It’s nice to have one less thing to worry about because you can trust it even if the conditions make a turn for the worst. ATB
i like rain kilts much better than rain pants.
👍 never used one but in hot weather I would probably like that better. Thanks for taking the time to comment.
Wait, is that a dragon turned to stone at 19;16?
Maybe 😀👍. Appreciate you watching!
So how's your camera, survived lake adventure?
It’s survived! I used it in my last video in the forest but I forgot to mention it. After two weeks in a bowl of rice, the camera dried out and started working. I did unfortunately have to replace the camera lens though. But I’m pretty happy with the new lens.
Wich Hat do you wearing?
It is the Ovik flat cap from Fjallraven 👍
Happy to swap ages with you .. 60 this year. Yikes!
water filters are fine ; but water should then be boiled to remove bacteria, viruses, and parasites
These filters are rated to remove bacterium protozoa, but not viruses. Not worried about viruses in this water 👍.
I"m not familiar with Ireland. Landscape. Not one tree in the mountains?
This is the Lake District in England. There are trees just not in this region. I was also in the Lake District when I did the packrafting trip a couple videos ago. That area has more trees. Always appreciate your comments! ATB
that mat sounds unbearable
😂 I don’t even notice the sound at all. But when you have a mic pointed at it it’s definitely going to sound much louder than it is 👍. Appreciate you watching and taking the time to comment.
I just found your channel but will definitely continue to watch it looks so peaceful ❤❤
