Great that you're back. You've inspired me to pull out my old tent and get out there again after being unwell for many years. If you ever want a trip in Pembrokeshire I know some great spots down here!
Just wanted to say a big thank you to you. Can’t remember just how it happened but I stumbled across your videos a while back and thanks to you, I’m now hooked on wild camping and spending a all my spare cash on camping gear. Also, after saying I could never justify the cost of a Hilleberg, I bought the Soulo yesterday. I must be mad. Really enjoy your videos. All very relaxing to watch. Think I’ve watched absolutely every one of them now. Keep up the good work and thanks again. Maybe meet you in the hills one day 😊
Hey Paul, long term subscriber here just wanted to say its great to see you back on the hills. The videos are so professional and we appreciate all the time and effort you put into your content. Thank you. Mac.
I walked past there a few hours ago! Not wild camping this time though - I'm sat in a heated campervan in Edale full of a pub dinner - living life vicariously by watching your videos. Thanks for taking the time to make them mate!
@@PaulMessner This one cost less than a good tent. Doesn't make for as interesting videos though!. "Yes, it's raining outside. I've put the water heater on and will have a shower soon, but nobody wants to see that"
Great video and scenery Paul, glad to see you out camping, in such a beautiful place, nice to hear the wind rattling the tent, you must of put a lot of effort into making this video with such strong wind and all the different shots and angles you do great stuff, thanks for sharing 👍
I wild camped there with my boy 4 years back. Our first wild camp togethor. Started out as a lovely day, got camped up watched vids all night, fell asleep and woke up next morning completely clagged in. Unzipped the tent couldn't see a foot in front of us, really surreal and there was me thinking how the hell am I going to get back. My nav skills were in there infancy. Fortunately after an hour or two the clag lifted to reveal a beautiful blue sky, what a relief! Great vid as always Paul, could I just ask you the make and manufacturer of that small plastic table packaway table you use. Cheers Rob
Great to see you're back Paul! Really amazing content that captures the camping experience beautifully for those of us who can't get out there as often as we would like!
I was camping there Friday night, love the way you take random shots of the path to try and conceal your exact location. When I was there the Farmer was driving round picking sheep up, I was back near the quary wall out of sight. It wasn't as windy as yours but it was chucking it down.
Amazing Paul. Thanks for sharing. The idea of being in an outdoor space away from humans noise ect. Simply being in the environment and just appreciating it and being in the moment with it.
Good meal Paul. Reminds me of camping on Mam Tor in the winter of 1972. Bluto, was the son of the canteen manager at English Electric so we got an unlimited free supply of mash potatoes and dried string beans. We didn't have steak but tinned beef. With 3 primus's on the go, we had the meal prepared in minutes. Who needs butter on the mash, anyway.
Hey Paul, if you want a comfortable sleeping mat I just brought the updated Thermarest Trail Pro self inflating pad as my old Sea to Summit blow up pad was giving me back ache every morning. It’s easily the most comfortable mat I’ve used as it’s stuffed with actual foam, and is still pretty light. The updated two way valve system works brilliantly and it has an R-value of 4.4. Best of all it is covered by a luxuriously soft stretch knit fabric. I got the extra wide one as I’m a side sleeper.
Paul we have missed you! I was thinking about this for a while and maybe others will like this idea too. Maybe a behind the seen video. So you go wild camping with a mate and he can record you as you record yourself so we as the views see how much effort you put into your videos and how you get the camera angles. I feel like this would make all of us (your viewers) respect the time, effort, blood, sweat and tears you put in to your videos. All the best, stay safe Dan
Watching this far away, I am able to appreciate the beauty of nature through your videos . Glad I discovered your channel . Your camping adventures are an interesting watch! Keep them coming Paul
Paul, just had your channel recommended to me by RUclips. Don’t know how I’ve missed you before as you have a big channel and I already follow a few smaller camping channels. Anyway, love what I’ve seen so far mate. Your calm approach is superb, love this. I was in the same place at around the same time I think, must have just missed you. I’ll keep an eye open for you now. Cheers mate all the best, Chris
I definitely need an outing soon. Great watching "Destination with a view" videos again rather than looped walks. More so because I miss the ending and starting the day in the wilds. Keep up the vids. 🍻
This is surely your best camping one mate, thoroughly enjoyable and some great editing. The bushcraft joke was funny and I’m glad you dropped down from the main plateau for your sake. Thanks again :) 🏔
At 2 pm today mate, I'm hoping YT will give me access to the community tab soon so I can let people know! Great night but windy AF! The Hubba NX held firm, I was thinking it might not!
you should get ahold of one of those bags amok hammok uses to blow up their mats.. its like this "shopping bag" size thing with a nossle in one end.. you open it, trap air in it, squese it into the bag, and bob is your uncle.. it works quite well..
Nice one Paul, I love your technique for climbing out of you tent when the ground is wet. I thought I was the only one who did that. Keep up the good work.
Stumbled across your channel randomly (as you do on RUclips) and although I’m not into camping, I really enjoyed watching this video and appreciated it. I was going to ask you for the details of you kit but seen you had listed it in the description, awesome job. Your videos are good and watching this was therapeutic. Makes me want to take up camping, although the only thing stopping me is the toilet situation.. any tips? Lol. Have subscribed and will be binge watching. Thanks
Glad that you can camp again! I hope you could lower the volume on the music in further videos, since I turn it up to understand your accent (non native English speaker here). And then the music blasts pretty hard. Keep up the good work!
Good to see you had a good one, and good to bump into you. I was the guy in the grassy field just after the lane coming out of Hope, on my way back. May be bump into you again some day!
So beautiful out there!!! Luv your journeys. I actually look forward to the videos post, especially when it’s either windy or rainy. Those are the best. Hike/trail/trek away!!!
Another great video Paul. Discovered your channel at the start of lockdown. Watching you back catalogue of videos has kept me sane !! Especially like your kit reviews although your recommendations cost me a fortune. Looking forward to my first outing in the peaks with my new Soulo
Paul I recently picked up a sea to summit ether light xt insulated sleeping pad and I have to say that it's absolutely superb. Supremely comfortable and keeps you from rolling off at night with the air sprung cells rather than 'air tube' design of most pads. Also love the pillow lock design they have with the sea to summit aeros pillows. Good r value and very lightweight too but it's the comfort that really sells it for me. Thought you should maybe check it out as it may even dethrone the trekology. All the best, Oli.
It would definitely dethrone the Trekology. It's a fair bit more expensive though. I have the Thermarest and Exped if I need insulation and can't justify spending on another pad just yet. 😀👍
@@PaulMessner Fully appreciate you've already got several pads :P Just wanted to give you some feedback as I recall from your fairly recent video on sleeping pads that you were particularly interested in feedback on the Sea to Summit pads! I have the regular but if I could buy it again I'd actually be tempted to go for the women's large for the extra width and warmth at a relatively small weight penalty though it's even more expensive ahhh
I managed to get out for a camp in the Peak District last weekend too. Very high winds but the Snugpak Bunker was more than up to the job. Biggest problem I had was water supply, all the streams coming off Kinder Scout were a deep, blood red. Even after filtering and boiling it was undrinkable.
Great Spot and nice video. But and big BUT Petra says fasten the tent to your Rucksack and never ever push the tent pegs in with your foot. As the peg can burst through the sole and exit through the top of your foot.
Great video. I am deeply, deeply envious of your catering arrangements. I've just come back from three days on the Two Moors Way in Devon where I lived on dried sausage, bread and cheese and Snickers bars. I think I have a lot to learn!
GREAT to see new stuff from you ⛺️. I bet the Peak District hasn’t been the same without ppl in rucksacks 🎒 walking back and forth tripods 😂🤣😂. Top quality vid, as always.
i cant wait for all my stuff to arrive so i can start going on little weekend trips to begin with get use to wild camping then i want to start doing the long trails that take a week or more like the coast to coast and the pennine way
Great video Paul and it looks like the weather kept the hordes away and gave you some peace. Can’t remember seeing the Rab sleeping bag before, how did it do?
Just been suggested this video and I’m happy for once that the RUclips algorithm exists! Loved it so much :) Just subscribed and looking forward to watching more of your videos mate!
Great Video. We were up there too. Camped in the woods by the River Kinder. Hell of a windy night. Unfortunately only had bivvy and tarp. First time wild camping. We could have done with one of them fancy hillabergs.
Great that you're back. You've inspired me to pull out my old tent and get out there again after being unwell for many years. If you ever want a trip in Pembrokeshire I know some great spots down here!
Great to hear Edward. I hope you enjoy it as much as I do. 😀👍
Paul Messner cheers mate 👍
😃
Hi Paul, do you shove your tent in the pack or strap to the bottom?

Glad to see you’re back out camping!! You’d think camping is the perfect social distancing activity!!👍🏻

Thanks 👍 Glad you like the vids
You’re a great operator in poor weather Paul. It doesn’t seem to bother you and in fact you seem to thrive in it. I love that attitude.
I walked past there a few hours ago! Not wild camping this time though - I'm sat in a heated campervan in Edale full of a pub dinner - living life vicariously by watching your videos. Thanks for taking the time to make them mate!
We’d love a camper. It’s on our wish list.

@@dcobblers People love van life videos mate! Should give videos a crack if you're considering it
@@Moggy312 i agree
Great to see you back on the hills Paul.
Felt fabulous Paul 😀👍

Not quite “leave no trace” ... you didn’t replace the sheep poop 😂
I'm sure the sheep would replace it soon enough 😂
Paul Messner you sure you didn’t replace it with your own..?? 😝
That had to be the teeniest stool I’ve ever seen! Wow!
It's small but does the job
Great video Paul, i find it great that you have included your gear in the description, it's really helpful! :)

Watching all the rain and wind videos just gives me flashbacks to wild camping in Scotland, even in summer
I was camping there Friday night, love the way you take random shots of the path to try and conceal your exact location. When I was there the Farmer was driving round picking sheep up, I was back near the quary wall out of sight. It wasn't as windy as yours but it was chucking it down.
Amazing Paul. Thanks for sharing. The idea of being in an outdoor space away from humans noise ect. Simply being in the environment and just appreciating it and being in the moment with it.
Very cool. I was just exploring a abandoned place near my house in Iceland and I also want to camp in it but it seems scary alone
I'll go with you if you marry me so I can live in Iceland.
it's all in the mind. Sounds a good place to take the new fiance 😀👍
You wont be alone... All the ghosts and ghoulies will keep you company.
get a little dog makes it less scary and keeps you warm

Free mash...sounds like heaven Jeff

Hi Paul, another great video. Thanks. FYI, powdered butter, made from real butter, is fantastic.

Whereabouts are you?
Thank you very much!
Awesome adventures. It often rains when I'm camping too 😀😀😀
Great to see you out Paul
I enjoyed that thanks Paul. Good to see you back out. Sensible to get out of the even worse wind. Thanks for sharing. ATB - Ben

Good to see you camping again
Ive been stressed latel and this is the best thing i have ever seen. I really wana do it
And that's the path I was on on the Friday when you were on the great ridge! 😂👍
Looks like we swapped shoes then 😀👍 Both great places
I definitely need an outing soon. Great watching "Destination with a view" videos again rather than looped walks. More so because I miss the ending and starting the day in the wilds. Keep up the vids.

Quality video . The real deal Peak District camp experience .
This is surely your best camping one mate, thoroughly enjoyable and some great editing. The bushcraft joke was funny and I’m glad you dropped down from the main plateau for your sake. Thanks again :) 🏔
Awesome, thank you! Glad you like it Simon. When's your video hitting the screens? How was your night in the end? 😀👍
At 2 pm today mate, I'm hoping YT will give me access to the community tab soon so I can let people know! Great night but windy AF! The Hubba NX held firm, I was thinking it might not!
And the world seams a better place now, good to have you back out and about 👍🏻😊🎉
It's good to BE back. 😀👍
I wonder why oh why people have any reason to not like these videos.?
Keep up the good craft work
you should get ahold of one of those bags amok hammok uses to blow up their mats.. its like this "shopping bag" size thing with a nossle in one end.. you open it, trap air in it, squese it into the bag, and bob is your uncle.. it works quite well..
have to say one of your best posts.....wild camps...
Nice one Paul, I love your technique for climbing out of you tent when the ground is wet. I thought I was the only one who did that. Keep up the good work.

You can tip the hot water in to the smash packet mate. Saves using the pan and on washing up.

Great to see you out and about Paul 👍🏻
Thanks Gordon. It was nice to be back out.
Nice looking walk & camp, i'm liking the time stamps on the video 👍🏃
Another great British summer!
These videos are ridiculously therapeutic ha keep it up!
Glad that you can camp again! I hope you could lower the volume on the music in further videos, since I turn it up to understand your accent (non native English speaker here). And then the music blasts pretty hard. Keep up the good work!
Noted! Thanks for watching 👍
Yeah, a bit of a shock when the music starts. Otherwise a very relaxing video.
Good to see you had a good one, and good to bump into you. I was the guy in the grassy field just after the lane coming out of Hope, on my way back. May be bump into you again some day!
I was nice to meet you Richard. Thanks for stopping to say hello. As you rightly said...it was windy up there.
Great to see you back out there Paul. All the best. 👏👏👏
Cheers John 😀👍
Would love to go camping with you, you are incredibly respectful of the land and hugely devoted to the outdoors. Such an inspiration 🙌😊
Thank you. Very kind words 👍🏻
So laid back paul enjoyable video spot on
Man I just love those lush green hills. Such fantastic views. Thanks for taking me along.
Good to see you back out there Paul, really enjoy the multiple different camera angles.
Thanks 👍 Glad you liked it. I do try and keep thing interesting with the camera angles. Could do with a film crew and something bigger than a GoPro
So beautiful out there!!! Luv your journeys. I actually look forward to the videos post, especially when it’s either windy or rainy. Those are the best. Hike/trail/trek away!!!

Love the colour of the tent Paul, blends in really well.....
Just watching you for the first time and haven’t got any idea where in the world you’re at literally.
Between Manchester and Sheffield in the England

Love the videos man! Great to see you back!
Appreciate it!
Nice fresh Punk IPA in the new cans spotted there......good work

Great job. Thanks for sharing.
Damn I love the Peak District!! From London butbi always feel like I'm home when I enter the peaks 🙏🏼 great video mate ❤️
Great to see you back out proper Paul. Thanks, as always, for sharing your experience
My pleasure. Thanks for watching 👍🏻
Was out on Saturday near Coniston, strong winds and rain came in around midnight, was great to be back out, atb Paul 👌
Dartmoore 4 me ..
.. bleak and bracing !.... are we mentally ill for liking this stuff and in these conditions?
Great video Paul and it looks like the weather kept the hordes away and gave you some peace. Can’t remember seeing the Rab sleeping bag before, how did it do?
Its great to see you in the field again. When i grow up i want to be like you🤣
Thanks for watching 👍
Nice one Paul, Always great to see you out and about. Steak, mushrooms and mash looked delicious.
It was just what I needed 😀👍
Paul Messner you looked happy 😃👌🏻
Good to see you camping in the hills again Paul. #staysafe
Hi Paul great tip on the spatula protecting your frying pan while you cut your steak as always good video cheers mate
Great video as always Paul, I'm going out this weekend for a great wildcamp , thanks for your advice on lots of things.

That was excellent, dood.
Great video, Paul. Please keep making them.
That's the plan! I'll keep trying 👍🏻

Great video mate, bet you were pleased to be back out, even though it was extremely windy! 😂
Thanks for sharing mate
Ash
It was windy but I don't mind the weather. It's the filming that's harder to do. Thanks for watching 👍🏻
Hilleberg say no standing on tent pegs you bad boy! Good decision to drop out of the wind a bit, still a great view.
Amazing camping video Paul, Greetings from India. Waiting for your next camping video.
Good to see you back Paul, completes my playlist
Great Video. We were up there too. Camped in the woods by the River Kinder. Hell of a windy night. Unfortunately only had bivvy and tarp. First time wild camping. We could have done with one of them fancy hillabergs.
Lovely video Paul. Loved the morning light while looking round the camp and down the valley and the speeded up clouds. Great job.
Love the improvised bushcraft sheep shit shifting tool :-)). I'm heading to the PD on Friday for the first of the year. So excited !!!!!
Brilliant to see you out again. Its about time I made the massive trek from Barnsley and got out myself!
I miss doing this, i used to do this about 15 years ago but after watching this vid i fancy doing this again Next year.
Great Vid Paul! - And the now obligatory cans of Brew dog! ;)
Great Paul hiked all around there the day before lockdown and camped at at the woolpacks, nice job pal!
Glad you enjoyed it
