Hiya Dan brilliant video mate nice to see you out again enjoying the cold weather,, how is bushman mick nowadays we haven't hurd enythink about him hope him and his family are all well,, take care of yourself stay safe mate
Look forward to your videos m8, tbh I can't really afford to buy winter gear just now got granddaughter n Christmas coming up. But next best thing is watching good guys like yourself thanks big man 🙏👍
In 78 I was in the army, and we were on an escape and evasion exercise in Denmark. It was minus 31°c, I slept in a German army sleeping bag inside of a bivi bag pushed into a haystack. I actually spent three days there . It's not a good idea to use a hammock in cold weather because cold air can circulate around you, and you have no insulation.
When I left home whenever I went back and asked to borrow a tool or something useful out of my dads garage he would mostly just buy me one - he was really kind like that. What he always said though was 'never lend what you can't afford to lose' . I'm trying to do the same with my kids now theyve all grown and flown.
Love the humor you have! I was doing a little camping last night myself. Of course I was camping on sofa by the radiator, covered with a cozy down filled quilt, sipping hot Earl Grey Black. I did get to see stars though! Well, ok, I watched Jack Lemmon and Walter Matthau, "Grumpy old men". Took a slip on the ice and bruised my hip. However, I am planning on taking a hike in 2 days, to take a proper shower! Keep up the great videos, and do stay warm, it may not get super cold there, but cold is cold! Cheers.
when your eating your ration pouches try having the pouch held against your front when you're eating it. if im wearing a zip hoodie i sit with my hot ration food pouch held against me inside the hoody on my gullet to get every bit of heat i can from it 😀
Smashing camp Dan. Don't you just love how Snugpack put such a shiny exterior on their blankets, etc. They sparkle even when you have a light on in a tent. We've got one on our bed right now, on top of our fuvet for extra warmth. Lmao, at your many meals. The british army ones are very tasty....... Old my ass Dan. You're the same age as our baby girl. 👶 Im not old and I'm in my early 70s. Keeping fit is the key. We adore hiking and camping.
I went camping in minus 6 once and it was the worst night of my life didn't have any thermal gear in the slightest, didnt get a wink of sleep, just shivered all night I thought I was gonna die😂
Another great video mate. Lending kit out, it's a hard one cos like you I like helping people. But they never look after your kit the way you do yourself. Over the years I've tried to learn to say no, but I still fall for it wanting to believe the best in people. The old saying Neither a borrower nor a lender be. If I haven't got what I need, I'll never lend off anyone. Take care. Geordie.
Coming from a family of mountain people all the way back to the 1500 I've been told that a beard is used for the summer time to keep your face from getting burned and that you need to shave it off in the winter time cause it helps you from freezing. You see when you have a beard in winter and it gets wet and freezes it makes you cold and is very hard to warm up
I'm in Florida right across from the launch pads at Cape Kennedy. It's going to be in the 40's F tonight and that's cold for us here so I get what you're saying. It's cold when you are not use to it. I was worried about you being warm enough than I remembered you had that "big" one! Glad it kept you warm.
Last Saturday me and bro law was up kinder , via Grindslow knoll , now that was cold , -13 wind chill. We ended up going back to edale car park and sleeping in van at -2 , 10pm.
I live in the vicinity of the Snowdonia national park. the lowest temp in my memory in my area was minus 6 Those temps are rare and im running for my thermals at 2 degrees. Anyway great vid thanks
Dan you mentioned you would do a hot tent camp in the Pomoly Bromance tent have you done a video with it yet? I have one myself it's a biiig tent but really good.
Love your videos I love my hammock tent and I have to say you have a joyful personality keep up the great work and congratulations on getting to 55k subscribers
I wild camped with a friend in Chedder Gourge a couple of years ago, I woke up at about 4am freezing cold. I looked up at the cliff side & saw fog rolling off the top & falling down like a horror movie, spooky . Lol M
Ive camped on the hills in all weather's heatwaves blizzards and everything in between but i have reached an age where i wont be winter camping in minus temperatures based on the fact that i went to pick my grandson up from school last thursday and i was bloody freezing lol
I have followed your channel since you started and I cant find the early vids that I very impressed with. Of someone starting out. I loved that about you. A man with dreams, and ambitions, and I admired that. If you where to put your original videos out there. your audiance would love it. Being scared camping over a very public area. I believe that would be great for your channel. I wish you the very best my friend. Don't be afraid of the dark. Be afrid of the living......
Neither a birrower or a lender be was a great lesson taught to me early in life.Dan. Then you've only ypurself to blame if something gets damaged. Bushyboy Oz.
I need to do a camp when it's snowy. I love winter. I'm going to Tromso, in the Arctic region of Norway to run the Polar Night Half Marathon. However, I 'camping' in a nice, warm hotel. 🤣🤣 Another great video from you.
Great vid. When you said you didn’t have anything to light the fire I was wondering how you were going to cook and make a drink? I loved reading my book next to the fire when in the woodland, it was so relaxing! Stay safe stay warm atb 👍🦊
Went camping in similar temp -5.5c a few weeks ago. Cold weather requires pretty decent gear. If you're gonna do a hammock, a sleeping pad inside you hammock to help insulate you more and a quilt goes a long way. Bivies work well. I personally use a hilleberg 4-season with a thermarest x-therm, and a custom quilt/sleeping bag. Comfiest sleeping in freezing temps :)
yes even a cheap foam mat in a hammock is better than nothing, the loft in the sleeping bag gets squashed down therefore offers little insulation compared to the top
@@Bandanko if you get a cheap foam mat and cut out some thin triangle slits from it along the sides and round off the corners they lie in the hammock great. Also remember to lie diagonal for more comfort
I have stopped lending stuff now I have borrowed 3 items to work friends over the past year and not got anything back. The first was a pet carrier the second a fishing rod and lastly hair clippers. There is always an excuse even when I text in the morning before work to bring the stuff back.
Thank you for watching 👍
Thanks for getting out there and making the content! Gives me inspiration to get my stuff together and head out in the bush :)
😎👍
Mate as much as I appreciate the effort you put in get in your house fs u Gona end up an ice lolly lol

Me Mam always said "Never a lender nor a borrower be..." Means you owe to nowt to no one and what you've got you'll keep. 👍
My first time at your channel. Had to stop to see your really "big" sleeping bag. You're very Entertaining and Merry Christmas 🎅
THANK YOU, GREAT WORK... DES IN BELFAST, IRELAND
Top channel this, thanks for uploading.
It's sooooo big 🤩...😀👍
This is my second comment but wanted to say more.
You are the most 'real chap' I watch on the Tube. Dont change bud please.
keep them coming
My British army Arctic bag is awesome can sleep out in cold and ice and I'm still warm
I love your attitude to being dyslexic! Your a fantastic role model! I,m 52 so grew up in a brutal era to be dyslexic. Keep up the great work pal 👍
First time watching, love your honesty mate, keep it up, Merry Christmas 👍
Thanks for the great video! 👍
I use the summit body suit .. great for moving about in and doesnt restrict ya also has zips on the hands and feet ..
That was a brave experiment
Yep, but a great night
When I left home whenever I went back and asked to borrow a tool or something useful out of my dads garage he would mostly just buy me one - he was really kind like that. What he always said though was 'never lend what you can't afford to lose' . I'm trying to do the same with my kids now theyve all grown and flown.
That's a fantastic was to think about it
My dad was same way. Have lot of tools and gear due to him helping me out while raising my kids. Very thankful to have him
We've had some stuff damaged thru lending, to a point where we said sorry no. Knowone takes responsibility for damaging other ppls things.
Your fire is keeping me warm indoors, thank you x
@English_Woodsman_ hi there, just replying to your telegram
It's nice to see someone not get the fire going instantly the first time, a bit more realistic.

Minus 4 or 5 in the UK is a big deal because it's usually a damp, penetrating cold and not dry Alpine.
Yep, it's only once or twice we get this a year

Hi mate, when I was in the hammock cocoon I was so warm

you just need a decent quilt mate... pads are hella uncomfortable in hammocks
