Have camped in the southern uplands of Scotland in -15 while gold panning and best tip I can give for keeping warm at night is get a sheepskin and keep that on top of your mattress roll stops the cold going into your back at night .
Great camp with great shots in the amazing white cold and windy snowy hills. Loved it and the real sense of nature in it’s beautiful harshness within a cocoon set. Nice one👍
my fathers mothers family 'Clewes' were from Laxey in 1800's ; worked in the mine, went Australia then back to IOM. proper snow! enjoy fella. that sand colour hille is lush.
Army doss & bizzy bags pretty good, once woke up on Soltau, our heads under a canvas sheet next to the 432, couldnt move me legs, panicked for a sec, then realised it had snowed and my legs were buried under a snow drift. 😂 I was still toasty. 👍
Really enjoyed the video. I’ve heard the Hillberg tents are very good, but I’m looking for a single skin, so will go for The North Face assault 2. When I was in my twenties I once slept out in the Cairngorms with no tent, and a crappy sleeping back, in February. It was a bit nippy alright, wouldn’t do it now.

Loved it buddy, superb video as always. Loving your new drone the footage was epic. You live in such a stunning place. Thanks for sharing my friend. Stay safe 🤜🤛
@Islander Outdoors Love watching your videos mate, they are fun and interesting, always a great variety of adventuresb and stuff but most importantly what makes a good you tube is the person behind it 🤜🤛. Plus your editing skills are level 10. Hope your all well.
Oh the peace and open spaces up there. I would have loved that in my younger days. As for the rude picture, back in the day, you may have got "The Birch" for that caper. As a child in the 60s we used to holiday on the island, our parents used to threaten us with the birch if we were naughty, all in jest of course. I wondered how you got the shots of you walking in the forest, modern tech eh. Stay safe. Great video.
Another cracking camp Matt. Looked bloody freezing but fair play you mullered it mate. The drone looked awesome may have to invest in one myself. Take care fella Atvb Andy 👊
I'd love to see how the TETON Sports Outfitter Quick Tent stands up to the extremes you put your gear through. I have it and love it but have never seen it truly put to the test. Anyhow, thanks for another great video!
@@AirbornePirates It is. They are based out of Utah, USA. Very good gear for very reasonable prices. Not sure if they ship internationally, but would be very cool to see them tested like you test gear. To the max!
Great inspiration m8 Here in Scotland I camped way off the beaten track and it turned out to be the worst camping outing I ever had. After pitching tent up, setting everything I needed inside I went to explore the forest/field area, 1/2 hour later tent and everything with it had been stolen 🤷♂️ Lesson learnt.
Great video! I have the Mavic Air 2 and clearly even though it is great in wind, it was being affected by the conditions. So it must of been really windy, and no doubt chill factor would have been nippy to say the least!
For such weather, a two-person, two-layer expedition tent by Hilleberg Staika would be more suitable!!! Unfortunately, this tent does not have a skirt and the wind can blow into it from below!!! In such weather, a skirt would not be superfluous!! But this tent weighs 4 kg!!!
Thanks for uploading this video - very interesting. May I ask? When a tent "breaks", how/ where does it break? Guys? Suppoert rods-struts? The fabric tears? I'm not much of a camper, but I've never heard of a tent breaking....although I obviously comprehend that the wind could "uproot" it from it's location. Thank you.
I'm not a subscriber yet but I do find it a little hilarious when campers in England talk about being scared when they are camping and here a noise at night.
The Soulo is a beast, can't believe anyone managed to destroy one. I tested mine (RL) 2 month ago in the Alps on (or better in) a glacier. -15 C and wind from the glacier. Like a rock - the wulf had no chance to blow me away and I even didn't dig in the snow. But you had more wind, great to see the Soulo performing under those conditions. Thanks for the video. btw: Why do you lie down this way around? I lie down the other way around, easier to reach the door and more space for the chest.
@@DemiGod.. Which tent do you think would survive 170mph? Slingfin? I already own one, but only treeline level. I would assume their expedition tents would survive that.
It’s a zodiac, the lads at thrudark know the score, UKSF boys know how to make robust clothing. I believe you get what you pay for with it. Mine has survived rock climbing, skydiving, paragliding and general ocean shenanigans
Love it!! I do the same thing in the US , winter solo canoe trips of up to 3 weeks….the nastier weather the better!! I don’t know what it is but I’ve had this fascination ever since I was young. This year will be with my canvas baker tent , as I’m in my 50’s now and I can almost stand up in with more room to move especially with the front part. It’ll be interesting to see how it does in high winds?? Have to use way more guy lines than usual. Take Care
When I started camping , had a 3 season tent flattened in a storm. Since then got hilleberg tents, if there is a storm, out I go with the hilleberg, the Tarra being my toughest hilly.
I dont get it why were you looking for an exposed site ?? Safety first specially with high winds so would it not be better to camp in a place were you are sheltered from wind..maybe you wish to test your gear??i would also build a wall of snow to protect the tent from wind...great video !!!
Enjoying your vids! I’m thinking of a Soulo but am a bit concerned about sit up height. I’ve a Unna which on paper is 5cm taller. I’m 188cm or 6’2” tall. You look to have plenty of space above you. Any idea how much above you and what’s your height please? Cheers!
Good question. I'm 191 cm and feel a bit squeezed in the Soulo, especially on a thicker mattress. Now I have a thermarest camp chair 25, which allows me to use my mattress as a chair. What an improvement. 👍
What I would like to see in a camping video is a tent getting battered by the wind and rain during the night, the tent door opens and a game warden tells you you cant camp here.
What budget tent do you want me to try out in bad weather? ⛈️
A B&M pop up tent
Your brave IL drawn the line camping in the the snow those days are long gone want too be nice and comfy and warm at home 😄
Make ure own tent how hard can it be 🙄watch out for Bigfoot they've been spotted in uk 🤣
Looks nice and comfy and fun but IAM sure IL get hypothermia if I tried this 😄respect mate u are a die hard

Keep up the good work mate, good video as always.
The Soulo is so good mate! I love it! I do need a new outer bag for mine though, it blew away when I was setting up the tent 🥴
Stunning sky & beautiful view. 😍
Thank you, the tent sure is a beauty 😄
Fantastic mate keep up the good work. Those drones are something else!
Amazing considering it weighs 249g 🤯 thanks for watching

Wow, that is amazing history, sorry for his pain though.
Stark raving mad , but you made me go nd buy the same tent and when it arrives I am going out in the worst weather. Cheers.

Highly recommend bringing a GPMG for future camping missions 😎
A GPMG or big rat traps lol
Seriously? Where did that happen mate?
@@dougieranger Loch Lomond area

Normally a pole breaks then the fabric follows shortly after, very uncommon in a hilleberg tent though

@@DemiGod.. Which tent do you think would survive 170mph?
Slingfin? I already own one, but only treeline level. I would assume their expedition tents would survive that.
Caramel from Trinidad and Tobago taste real good
I’ve got that orange pan, how’re you finding it? I haven’t had the chance to use it yet.
Worth every penny! The thicker profile where the gas burner goes gives a nice even burn
@@AirbornePirates Excellent, thanks, I appreciate the reply.
Nice video enjoyed it. Haven’t seen many people use the Thrudark gear. What jacket is it? You a fan?
It’s a zodiac, the lads at thrudark know the score, UKSF boys know how to make robust clothing. I believe you get what you pay for with it. Mine has survived rock climbing, skydiving, paragliding and general ocean shenanigans
Great video mate, would you recommend that pillow? Currently have a trekology one but that looks good
Far better than the trekology, I couldn’t get on with the trekology one.

Quick question… do you need a license now to fly a drone?
Not where I live, just not near airports buddy
But... there was the remnants of a stone wall just 20 meter from where you set up the tent?
Where’s your sense of adventure ? I have one of the strongest one man expedition tents made today, I like to test kit
Next episode... 'Camping Underwater!'. :0)
Hi pal bet the waterproof jacket cost nearly as much as the soulo lol expect u got trade discount though😉👍
🐸 the Jacket is almost as tough as Chuck Norris 🙌
Nice gear thrudark you pay for what u get
Did the poles bend back to their original shape?
Yes returned back fine
The Eminem Show album playing on the phone.. love it mate
Haha! Yes I was wondering if anyone would notice that 🙌😂 thanks mate
Have you got an autonomous Drone ?
Dji mini 3 pro. Auto track features
However did you fly that drone in such wind?
I didn’t fly it for long it was struggling
What camping pillow do you recommend?
Flextail or thermarest don’t waste your time with trekology

Yes testing the gear was the goal. If survival was an objective much better pitches available but it wasn’t that extreme

Always double pole your tent . I do with my saitaris
I dont think its necessary with the hilleberg, perhaps on a summit.

Its legal where I live 👍

What happened? 🥴
Could you have a non cooking show ?
Wow! Now that's frightening. You're clearly very epierienced and only need a dog. Great.
I take the dog often just not when it’s too cold cheers Joe
Please never use your jet boil inside your tent. People die doing that c02 gas...
Well ventilated and flame. I know about C0 There was no risk in this video.
Why the hell would you camp out in the middle of a field
Strong winds, avoid forests - fallen trees
I've been in a tent in 50mph winds. Not pleasant
I think you either love it or hate it! Depends if the tent is still attached to the ground 😂🥴
@Islander Outdoors I lived it. What wasn't nice was it felt like an 80stn man leaning on me all night 😂
