Well done mate, that was brutal. I was out the same night in the Peaks. I have to say, mine wasn't quite as brutal as that (video coming soon). The Jannu looked liked it handled it with ease. Keep the great vids coming pal. 👍
I always avoid wild camping if strong winds are forecasted and the chance of an inaccurate forecast like that terrifies me. But the tent seemed to cope with it very well.
I can see exactly why, and it is not a guide on pitch locations, but rather something I enjoy to do and know me/my gear can cope with it. But no, the tent was fine, thanks for watching. Rowan.
That was a great place to pitch, especially in the Jannu. I go to places like that in my H'berg Soulo. Love the Jannu but the wife would blow a gasket if I purchased a fourth H'berg.
Sometimes silence can have the loudest message.well done.I'm from Glasgow and I've been to the cairngorms a few times,but what is the yellow ball( @7:30) in the sky?
It is what makes it feel more normal to me when I watch the videos back, glad you like it too. I'm not sure, I seem to remember seeing it a couple times on Dartmoor as well. Maybe it will reappear in a few months?
Awesome camp Rowan. Harsh conditions for sure! What are your thoughts so far on Jannu vs Nallo. I haven’t used my Jannu much since I bought the Nallo earlier this year, but this video has given me the urge to get it out again. Hoping to get out this weekend. Some tasty winds into the 50s forecast so perfect time to dust it off lol👌
Thank you, although I am still jealous of that snowy camp you and Tom had in Ireland where the snow came up and around your tent. I find it hard to compare the 2 as they serve different purposes for me, I feel the Nallo is more versatile and just as strong if both are pitched correctly. Almost personal preference, I like semi-geodesic tents in case of unsure conditions/wind and for potential snow loading. That sounds fun, still haven't had my Jannu out in over 45mph yet, although having seen youself andd Tom use it, you shoul have a nice weekened. Cheers for the comments. Rowan.
@ hey Rowan yeah that was a one off camp. Haven’t seen conditions like those in years. I am so impressed with nallo that I would agree in all but heavy snow loading it is maybe the equal of the Jannu. That’s why I have been using it so much 👍
I knew it was on the way, so planned accordingly, and really was not as bad as the forecast/news were making it out to be. My first proper test with the Jannu and it was great. Thanks for watching. Rowan.
Great winter night out, cold and quite windy in the morning. Have been looking at some older nice Cairngorms winter hiking vids lately, this one certainly fits. As a winter camping novice, would you mind sharing a/partial gear list? Ice axe, sleeping system et cetera are obvious but I could use advice regarding gloves, mittens and stuff like that. (I've got some 90% of all required gear for snow hiking but mainly worry about freezing fingers; all my dry and warm gear becoming unreachable if I can't use any clip/toggle/zipper. Perhaps bring multiple or do you use combinations and/or something like Bramble hand warmers also perhaps?). 🤙
Thank you, really was a fun one, managed to get a bit of everything. I can do my best, although I would advise looking at a few other channels/pages that specialise in winter camping, the majority of my kit is used year-round, can cope with most UK conditions, especially as I know how to work it (comes with time). But to instantly say, definitely get a decent pair of gloves, without your hands you lose access to all your gear, no matter what it is. Mine are Rab Storm gloves, I also take a pair of Salomon running gloves and Montane Prism gloves. The latter is more for inside the tent, while the running gloves are good for taking the edge off if it’s not snowing. I also take a set of HotHands just in case I cannot warm up again. A proper thought out and practiced layering system is important as you want to minimise any form of moisture, whether that is sweat/rain or snow. All will make you cold when you stop moving. My orange jacket is mainly just for wearing in the tent, and taking a spare fleece/insulating layer is a good idea, plus a set of thermals for at night. Ski goggles or some form of eye protection is crucial and sunglasses if it’s sunny, the light reflects really well of snow. A buff, warm hat and a spare pair of socks is good no matter the conditions. And to remember if you going to take a water filter, to make sure you don’t let it freeze, put it in your jacket/sleeping bag as the fibres inside will break. Maybe snow pegs as well. And of course, all your usual navigation and exit/plan b procedures. For example, I navigated of the summit only using my compass, as the night before I checked the bearing and knew what it was and could just follow that back in the morning. Hope this helps, feel free to ask anything else. If you want a complete list of the gear I took, I can make that for you, may take a while to remember the names of some items. Rowan.
@@RowanWildCamps Much, much appreciated input. Don't feel obliged to pull up a full list. The 3-set gloves practice seems used more often, I'll start with my variation on that. Thanks.
Thank for watching, glad you liked it. Food freezing has never been too much of an issue, as for water I normally boil water for a coffee as soon as I get in the tent, and boil a bit more than needed to add back into the bottle, same when making food/melting snow. Plus when it gets really cold you probably should insulate your bottles in some way, I sometimes put the bottles in my boot, for the water and to stop any potential spin drift gettig in my boots. I know some people heat up some water and put the bottle in the bottom of their sleeping bag, but I wouldn't want to risk it leaking etc. There are some very good channels out there that will be able to help you far better on cold weather caming than me. Rowan.
.... WOW !! No Thanks .... A quick look around shows that built up wall fort @07:35+ ,, as a wind break ,, would have been a better pitch site .. .. Nice Tent .... Hilleberg makes quality tents .. .. With having a mesh inner tent , looks more designed for 3 season ,,, Do they make a solid inner as well ?? .. IMO ,, would make a better 4 season setup .. .. A 3 candle UNO lantern would make comfortable warmth for that setup ,, maybe even the single candle lantern .. ... Looked miserable ... Almost snowshoe outing ,, definite micro spikes and thermal outerwear ...
Thank you. Yes, so far I am, no reason to fault it. Wasn't snow, but frozen condensation. I know some people have issues with leaking under the vent covers, but I have not had that yet with the Jannu.
It is the 700, but yes I think for the price its unbeatable. Comfort rated to -2 and packs down really small, I've never been cold in it. Got it in 2019, so some of the down escpaed and has lost some loft, but won't be changing yet. Thanks for watching. Rowan.
Thank you. I guess that's the Cairngorms for you, plus I was over 1000m elevation. I live in southern England where weather like this is becoming less and less common. Hopefully you'll get you winter soon however.
Haha you might have been better off building a Igloo lol You're keen bailing from a cosey tent & hiking out in a whiteout, woulda been icicles in the testicles I bet Great video You've got the gear, and know how to use it
Perhaps I should give that a go, a real challenge. Suprisingly it didn't feel that cold, as long as you could keep the wind out. Thanks for watching, I always try to get used to my kit before trying more challenging enviroments, which certainly helps. Rowan.
Nicely filmed in tough conditions,I guess this was storm Bert ? I was out that night in the Hillberg Unna , very harsh weather it was . I have the jannu , such a brilliant tent to keep you safe , I just posted a very windy camp in the jannu . Great video thanks . Subbed 🙂
Thank you, Yes it was in the end, not that it neeeded naming in my opinion. I have always liked the look of the Unna, reminds me of the Jannu without the vestibule out the front. Ok, I'll take a look. Rowan.

.. Have too agree .. Interaction with viewers with comments about chosen gear and thoughts about adventure , IMO, make a good video ,, and would show gear designers the energy for possible sponsorship ... Is that not what Internet Media is all about ?? ..
It might be some, and I do see why. However, I make these videos so I watch them back and it feels as close as possible to being back on that camp. There are many andd much better channels out there for gear reviews and viewer interactions. Obviously If someone wants to know something, I will do my best to answer them. The reason I post to RUclips is different to most. Hope this helps. Rowan.
@@RowanWildCamps rowan you content is amazing mate and never compare yourself to another channel. Just my opinion on the engagement with audience part.
Excellent video, showing good practise at taking down and stowing a tent under harsh conditions. A very enjoyable watch.
Thank you, I guess that comes from learning to camp on Dartmoor :)
I have watched all camping videos and your are the best keep it up my friend. Bloody brilliant...ur now my number ONE
Thank you for sharing your winter adventure with us. Greetings from Poland.
Thanks for watching, can't beat a winter camp.
Fantastic composure there lad dropping the tent in those conditions. Belter of a camp that was 👌
Thanks, was great fun and a proper challenge when packing up. Definetely want more camps like these.
Stunning! days don't get better than that. I love the winter season XXX
Loved your weather forecasts. Sort of like the Pirates’ Code - more guidelines than a prediction 😂
Been there got that tee shirt, mine was on Ben Nevis in October, absolute hoolie. Inner tent was covered in blind blown ice crystals.
You seem so experienced. Pretty chill inside that tent under extreme circumstances. Loved the video.
Great video the silence says it all …. Brilliant 👍🏻
Thanks for watching, glad you liked it.
Wow,this view really amazing, lovely camping, such a relaxing nature, 💚💚💚❤️❤️
Thanks for watching, I'm glad you like it.
Nice one, can't beat a snow camp👍🏴🏕🏔👌
Thanks, certainly can't.
.. Sure you can ... A hotel room with a hot tub ,, king size bed and hot food ..
@rockytopwrangler2069 lol, lightweight🤣🤣👍🏴🏕👌
Amazing video, it made me subscribe, be careful though bud.
Thank you for watching, I always try to be.
You legend 💪
Great video 👌 I am waiting to do a camp like that myself but Wales is lacking snowfall. New subscriber 👍 atb Taff 🤠👊

Keep the great vids coming pal. 👍
Thanks for watching. I have sadly never walked round there, how was it? The jannu was great, I will have to keep an eye out.
Thanks, Rowan.
I believe I would have had to wait that storm out before I packed up and left!
Fair play Rowan, smashed that and lived to tell the tale! Great camp mate well done, new sub from us.
Thanks, glad you liked it.

I knew it was on the way, so planned accordingly, and really was not as bad as the forecast/news were making it out to be. My first proper test with the Jannu and it was great. Thanks for watching. Rowan.
Good idea with those elasticated pulls to keep the mats together.
They're really handy and double up to keep the foam mat tidy on my bag.
Great winter night out, cold and quite windy in the morning.

The Cairngorms could get a reputation for being a tad windy at this rate.
It could indeed :)
That was an excellent film Rowan. Were you happy with the Jannu? Looks like fine snow was getting under the 'hat'.
Thank you. Yes, so far I am, no reason to fault it. Wasn't snow, but frozen condensation. I know some people have issues with leaking under the vent covers, but I have not had that yet with the Jannu.
How do you like the Alpkit Skyehigh bag, is it the 900 ?
It is the 700, but yes I think for the price its unbeatable. Comfort rated to -2 and packs down really small, I've never been cold in it. Got it in 2019, so some of the down escpaed and has lost some loft, but won't be changing yet.
Thanks for watching. Rowan.
@ thanks for the reply. I chose the pipe dream 600. Its temperature rated a bit lower than the sky high range. Have yet to try it though.
Strong man ❤👍👏👌😍
Thanks for watching.
Good movie! You can think you are in Sweden in winter 😁. I live in the southern parts of Sweden and unfortunately it has not been winter here yet.
Thank you. I guess that's the Cairngorms for you, plus I was over 1000m elevation. I live in southern England where weather like this is becoming less and less common. Hopefully you'll get you winter soon however.
uuuffff that's a beefy camp brother, real danger, brave man!
And really fun, thanks for watching.
@@RowanWildCamps Amazing dude
I would have waited til better weather before leaving. The tent will be wet.
Bro leaving that ice axe outside is asking for trouble remember you are in Scotland 😂😂😂
Is the Glas Maol the Cairngorms?
Yes it is, also my first time camping there.
Haha you might have been better off building a Igloo lol
