- In the heart of winter, the Cairn Gorm national park is both BEAUTIFUL & BRUTAL. In a bid to sharpen up my survival skills, I completed a course with Nomad - Mountaineering & Expeditions in EXTREME conditions. Join me today as I dive into the CRUCIAL lessons learnt and the gear that got me through it...
Gear is not just for show. It is going to keep you alive. Here is all the gear I used on this course:
- Berghaus MTN Guide (Red)
- Garmin Inreach Mini 2
- Climbing Technology Alpin Tour Ice Axe (70cm, Red)
- SCARPA Manta Tech GTX Mountaineering Boots
- GRIVEL G1 New-Classic EVO Crampons
- Mechanix Original Gloves Covert

Big respect for doing something outside football Ste. I’d like to see a video on how you manage your time as I think you must be one of the most productive RUclipsrs out there.
He’s already got a video along those lines on this channel mate 👌🏻
His “This is IRL” video kinda touches on his day to day and how busy he is and why he started the channel. 👍 It is hard though, I think he cancelled this trip twice because of things that cropped up.
Good shout 👍🏿 I nicked his idea for a Tesco list, guys meticulous beyond belief, bet he’s got some sick life hacks
@@Theganjaman88 how is it conning tourists?
Jay is doing a similar video about the nineties entitled "the gear that got me through" (I know we were not gonna mention it any more but the way that you stressed the word in your intro I just couldn't resist). Thanks Ste, in all seriousness, where do you find the time????
😂
Ste, I think you need to go looking for Bigfoot in Oregon, Washington state, and film it.
I love the vids ste.... Literally fantastic... If you ever head up to lakes give me a shout .. be like our team medic course in colly 😢
Why did you choose red Ste??😉Rhetorical question.✊🏼
Mate - we all know the reason you choose red!
Can see you have a lot of passion for this! Good quality video and look forward to more of the actual course!
👍🏻
Interesting. Can you do a video on Thrudark clothing? They are quite expensive, and I'd like to know what I'm getting for the money.
Great suggestion!
Defo the best one this though they’ve all been good, would’ve liked it to have been longer and more detailed because I was enjoying it so much. Really original content not seen anything like this before
Thanks mate, appreciate it
Hi Stephen, love the Peak District we get out most weekend, got anywhere planned for camp, we do Fairbrook Naze lovely walk up and a lots of places to pitch on top of
Nice one
We did alport Castles last week great walk and views
Quite a few times I've heard you call yourself "a youtuber". Your not a youtuber at all your a content producer and a really fuckin good one at that! I'm subscribed to both paddock channels your UTD channel and this one (sadly not a member of any, as a father of three im paying for 357543566432 other memberships already, and the kids come first right? 😅) and i absolutely love everything you produce, heads gone is quality 👌
Been waiting for this one
Id love to hear Stes breakdown on Ukraine being occupied by Russia and England's indifference to it.
Excellent overview.
Cheers!
Great video Ste .I like the way you talk about things so every skill level can understand and take something away from watching .Top stuff
Glad you enjoyed it
Editing is really good, Ste!
Cheers mate!
Great stuff! Really enjoying these
Glad to hear it!
Great vid entertaining and educational at the ame time I learned some things 🙌
Cheers mate
Very cool video!
Thank you very much!
I enjoy this version of you rather than the crude one on Stratford paddock. 🙏
Really enjoyed this video ste can’t wait to see the next one and what you do next
Stay tuned!
Love these videos.
The Scarpa Manta boots are great for crampon work. I bought them for a trek to K2 Base Camp and a climb over the Gondogoro La. I found them too firm soled for the approach trek and got a really bad blister. I would use these boots for climbing but would want to make sure I had a perfect fit for long distance trekking. Although I would probably use a softer soled Salomon Quest GTX for the approach treks.
Not an outdoors person at all but really enjoyed the vid. Great tips and production values ist class. Keep them coming 😊
Class video ste. Off up scafell today after work got me itching to go already.
Nice one, have fun
Great vid mate, and nice effort with the elocution 😉 not easy with a Mancunian accent 👍🏿
Getting the basics but equally important is the fitness. Great job Ste, keep at it.
Absolutely
Good stuff. Got a 20 miler in the peaks on Saturday so buzzing for that
Cool video ste😆😆🥶
Great video done some winter skills in the Cairngorms myself you were spot on 👍
GREAT JOB mate that is not easy to do
Nice again Ste, so much fun to be had.
You should try Adidas Terrex boots for longer distances, I bought mine because of issues with my feet and wanting to walk Oldham Way (well worth doing) They feel like trainers but with all the benefits of decent walking boots. They are much lighter than traditional leather boots.
Funny you should mention Adidas Terrex boots... stay tuned.
Would you recommend your course provider and who is it? I’m looking to do something similar
Definitely would!
Top stuff Ste
Cheers mate
@@Howson-IRL no worries lad
Top vid Ste, I personally couldn't see myself doing something like this (not too sure why), however having done Snowden in the howling wind and driving rain can fully appreciate needing to respect the mountain. Looking forward to the next one
Nice one
This is so satisfying to watch. Came from the football channels, and im totally planning to stay. Great video, simple to understand, you know how to make it interesting and how to talk to a camera. Looking forward to follow your journey Ste.
Glad you enjoyed!
Great vid Ste. Love the Cairngorms. Got stuck in the Lairig Ghru and had to bivvy for the night. So thankful of the Mountain leaders that night. Can’t wait to go back and have another go at Ben Macdui!
Sounds great!
That was cool man, enjoyed that. Would have liked to see more mountain footage tho, longer video would have been even better. Nice one Ste!
Next time!
Good content - a little light on the actual course for my liking. here the fuck is the vehicle choice it seems like 6 months ago
All will be revealed in the next video or two, or i8f you can't bare to wait any longer you can check my patreon where it's already been revealed
As much as I love Manchester United, I'm loving this outdoors content Stephen. Ive been Glacier hiking in Iceland and it was so weird wearing the crampons for the first time! Don't get me started about those bloody ice steps the guides cut out. They need to cut them for shorter people, it was like climbing mount Everest 🤣🤣🤣 ❤ Keep up the great work our kid
Thanks mate! Stay tuned
Enjoyed that thanks Steve
Glad you enjoyed it
Did you venture up Ben Macdui wind gets wild up there.
Did you ever reveal the vehicle you bought? Defender old/new or transporter?
I was just thinking the same thing I think it might be on his pateron page
Will be coming soon. Next video or one after
This looks so fun, Got me googling crampons 😅
Brillant very well made ❤
Thanks!
