WILD CAMPING IN A SNOWSTORM
2 nights trapped on a mountain in a snowstorm within the safety of a tent. Highlighting the difference in weather conditions between the valley bottoms and the mountains and making sure you have the correct kit to suit your adventures.
Get outside
All love

Beautiful doggy.
blue chew for real??? 😂
won't open
It does open, it asks which browser you want to open with (for buying beer)
Are you saying green gable at 44.20? Are you talking about the mountain? Sorry I can't understand your accent. Beautiful dog! 💙
Love seeing proper adventures rather than just an up/down overnighter to demo some sponsored gear. Great stuff.
👊 I’ll always be mainly about the adventure 👍👍👍
@@BUSHMANandBLUE would love to come on a hike with you bro if you ever want company 🤟🤟
I hear you. There's one camper that thinks he knows everything and his adventures are no adventures. He does more camp reviews or walks 20 miles with a backpack talking you to Death. Talk, Talk, Talk. Check him out... The outdoor gear review.
😂😂😂 I’ll always be more about the adventure and the places I go
@@MegaCocobaby did you mean paul messner channel? 😂
Anyone else listen to this at night to fall asleep
This is a 'proper' wild camping channel, nothing superfluous, no shady advertising, crappy merch or sponsors. Just hardcore British camping. Loved it. Congrats on the 10k!
Much appreciated mate! Although merch will be coming soon but definitely not crappy😂😂😂. Thanks dude!
@@BUSHMANandBLUE Hey, don't blame you bud. Channels don't run themselves. Look forward to it, any way we can support you is welcomed, I'm sure.
Thanks. Merch ideas are looking good😉
@@BUSHMANandBLUE I'm sure you'll think of summit original. Atb mate! 👍
In my younger days I always wanted to camp in those conditions but having seen this video I’m glad I didn’t but you had everything under control. Thanks for sharing this epic video and I’m looking forward to part two. Blue is my hero.
It’s definitely an experience but one you need that ‘control’ in. Blue is my hero too😂
Blue needs some little boots for his paws 🐾🐾
Funny I was thinking the same thing.
Do you want to line inCanad.
I could adopt you.
Blue looks like one of the most relaxed, happy dogs I've seen! You have a lovely way with him 😁
We are a team😉. He’s just brilliant!
Wow! You weren’t kidding when you said this next video would be epic!
Brilliant video, real eye opener as to conditions on top of a mountain. Looks like Blue thoroughly enjoyed it.
Thanks for sharing this epic experience. Stay safe and look forward to part 2 👍
I’m always honest mate😂😂😂 if I say it it will be true👍👍👍👊
This was definitely not a solo mission, you were accompanied by probably the most reliable partner out there
I know but he’s leave me for dead and go find someone else to play fetch with😂😂😂
Great to see someone who knows what they’re doing making videos of adventures like this without the nannies needlessly moaning about how reckless it is! I’m looking forward to seeing how you dig than tent out in Part 2.
Cheers mate! Appreciated. Digging it out was definitely a tough one. 😂
Some of the moaners on previous videos telling him he needs to buy a Hilleberg for these conditions. Any good quality tunnel tent ( or tipi if you don't mind the snow drifts) will be perfectly fine. The most important thing is knowing what you're doing.
@@northernswedenstories1028 Indeed! Know what you’re doing, and confidence in your equipment, and you can push yourself.
Definitely my friend! 👍👍👍
What a great companion Blue is👍 lovely dog.
He is a dream companion👌
Even though you know what your doing out there that sweet doggy just follows you faithfully I hope you always keep him safe.
It won’t be long before you’ve got 100k subscribers or more with awesome content like this. ATB Al.
That would be nice! I could do it full time then and hopefully make better videos😬👍👍👍. Thanks Al
Really brilliant video. You brought us all on an adventure! Thanks!
Yea, man, you're becoming a very real and entertaining channel. No posing or elitism! Great stuff 👏 👍
Terrific mate, I am an expat so it is great to see the old country
Don't think I've said "holy s**t" or "f**king hell" so much during a wild camping video in my life 😂
Absolutely wonderful lunacy from you and blue and I've got to confess that I'm actually really proud of my old tent 😂
Me and the kids will be buying you a "coffee" on the back of this for sure. If anyone is earning some financial help towards growing their channel it's you guys!
Can't wait til part 2. Stay safe 🙂
😂😂😂Cheers mate and thank you for the tent! It definitely stood strong and proud in some hellish conditions. It’s a decent tent, shape and size for me and blue 👍👍👍
Now then Al,
I'm looking forward to the second part. That just looked bloody awesome!
Much admiration and respect,you clearly know what you're doing up there.
Bluey just takes it all in with those deep thoughtful eyes.
Wonderful stuff.
Take care ATB.
Mick😤👊
Thank you mate! I’d love to know what Blue is thinking. He definitely loves life!👍👍👍
I love this pup and I can tell he loves being with his best friend on these camping adventures ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Now that's what I call fun. Your dog cracks me up, he's totally into extreme conditions. Get yourself a SnowClaw. It's a packable backcountry shovel. ❄️❄️❄️ ⛺
I have a decent packable snow shovel but I’ll check out your suggestion 👍👍👍
Absolutely brilliant. All the best for 2022.
Another brilliant video well done Bushman 👏 You are inspiring many of us present armchair mountaineers and giving me lots of kit advice to consider. Just keep bloody safe please as I'd like to see more of these. ⛺ 🏔
Thanks for caring mate. 👊
Liking the new tent. Nothing like testing a new bit of kit. Thanks for this video, it put a big smile on my face. Can't wait for part 2.
Cheers Pal. The tent is awesome for blue and I size wise. 👍
WOW, that is what I call living! Blue obviously loves his adventures too. A great life, well lived. Thank you very much for this.
That is epic, you did so well getting the tent up. What a belting tent.
The Best wild camping, hiking video on you tube . amazing.
😊 cheers buddy 👍
I loved every minute of this, your a brave Man!!! Just incredible!
Wow. What an adventure! As you specified the importance of kit given the ever changing conditions. Well done.
Thanks Glenn it was pretty epic!
Blue is soooooooo cute when he gets excited and starts running around wanting to play. I hope you always keep him and you warm.
He always wants to play especially in the snow. He’s such a happy dog👍
Greatest severe weather video I’ve ever seen. Remarkable footage and expertise really. Fantastic!
Thanks mate. Check out my others as one is worse😂👍
Fantastic outing. Excellent winter camping conditions and a great test of that tent
I like to test my gear so people can have an informed decision on what to buy. Thanks👍
Just watched Pt 1 &Pt 2 back to back...... best outdoor videos EVER.
😊 thanks my friend!
My favorite of all the winter trips, I never tire of watching both parts. ❤😊
Blue wasn’t playing around with the snow this time! He was let me back in the tent! I have to admit I have watched this particular video multiple times. Just love the wind blowing the snow! Totally a white out but beautiful!
It is quite enchanting being in that surrounded by all that power. Thanks 👍
Enjoyed your video, its always a pleasure watching a well equipped knowledgeable person take a bit of a risk , but managing the risk. Keep it up.
Yes that’s what it’s about! Calculated risk. I need to run another ultra😉
Loved this. Thank you for sharing the experience. My wife and I use to stuff similar to this. Not to this extreme, but still loved it! Now I can't anymore, but love watching!
Well I’m sure you have fond memories of your adventures. Many don’t get out in it and have little excitement to remember. Thanks mate👍👍👍
What an amazing camp! Just beautiful!
Wise decision to stay with the tent. Looks like you'd never have found it again! Great video, looking forward to part II👍
It potentially would be hard to find again. Worth keeping close and in sight!
Dogs have amazing empathy. I guess the reason why Blue is so happy is because he's in tune with your exhilaration and joy.
I think, like people, dogs pick up on emotions. We both love it🥰
Dogs have an extremely acute sense of smell which makes it impossible for them to not know our mood and emotional state from the smell on our breath of the hormones our bodies release. They are also acute readers of our body language and our patterns of behaviour. They know for example from a preceding action what rhe subsequent action is likely to be. If your dog is at your side through every waking moment, he will read you like book. That's the relationship Blue has with his boss, and the one my goldie has with me.
I like that you're a adventure is more about the adventure itself and not showing what you can do or would do differently and what you have to cook afterwards I appreciate your adventure better
Thanks. I’ll definitely keep the channel more about the adventure 👍👍👍
Blue, that looked like an epic outing with your big buddy. You are such a good boy taking him on the mountain like that, letting him play with his toys in the great outdoors! Humans are fun if you encourage them. Good job Blue!
😂 he definitely is the boss
Amazing video , loved the way you stayed calm and hunkered down , also like you said "a snow shovel would have made a big difference " , best video I have seen in ages.
Cheers Davo! 👊👊👊
All your videos are great but the last few have had an extra edge to them!
Extreme high winds, Striding in the dark and now this, truly epic stuff mate, and all very safe.
The look on Blues face the first time you got out the tent was a very rare look indeed, even on your face, you both understood the necessity to get back in pretty quick. The second time out the tent looked pretty perfect, when Blue is jumping, that's a good indicator that all is well, not that you need a clue when all is good. Even a bit windy, the place looked amazing, look forward to the next vid. Stunning job again mate, really badass💪😀..🤘
Wow thanks mate. I’m glad I’m hitting the spot. I’ve not had any extreme conditions since I started the channel so hopefully over winter I can show some cool stuff. 👍👍👍
@@BUSHMANandBLUE in your element mate, clearly💪💪💪
Absolutely awesome camp can't say anything different, Blue and you was perfectly safe and living it ,thanks for sharing .👍👍
Thanks buddy! Definitely trying to live it👌
Living the dream and not just saying it!. Love this kind of adventure, pitting yourself against the elements on a mountain 🗻
Yes I love it😬👍👍👍
Best wild camping/hiking video on you tube . Loved it cant wait to get out there.
😂😂😂thanks
Most respect! I watch alot of you tubers doing this but by far this is the 1 of the best cold/winter camps I've watched..... you have some big balls!! 😄🤣👍👍 and so does blue 🐕
😂 balls are average but I have quite a high IQ 😂😂😂. Thanks mate👍👍👍
Utterly love watching this video. Thank you.
Thanks Suzy. I loved being there!
Love it. Well done to you both.
Hi I've watched many of your adventures but this is my favourite so far. Blue looked as happy as child on Christmas morning in that snow. Great to see a like minded guy who enjoys the challenge of different and difficult conditions. Camped up near Esk Hause in Jan 21 in the snow but wasn't anywhere near as bad as this video. Looking forward to part2 atb
Yeah you get it then mate!👍 glad you’re enjoying my adventures and your own. Cheers!
Not taking a spade was probably silly and dangerous. Please take more care mate. Thanks for the video though, highly entertaining.
It would have just saved some time but you make do when you have to 😬
Another awesome video! Cheers for sharing the adventures of you and Blue!
Like watching my favorite tv shows that are re-runs. Never get tired of part 1 and 2 of Storm Barra!! You and Blue the best!!❄️❄️❄️🌝
Another epic video. Just a man his best friend and the elements
Put a thumbs up before watching as aways I no its going to be a great video
😂😂😂 enjoy!
Also it would be tough 2 days in abisko 1.....2 peoples version it much more spacious 👍
Yes I do like a bigger tent. Two days struck in a smaller tent would have been mentally hard!
Al you keep bringing it, absolutely out there for sure - brings a new perspective to One Man and His Dog - respect!
😂 I like the ‘one man and his dog’ life. It’s a special bond. 👊
WOW! What an adventure! And Blue is awesome 😀
Hello brother, we watch your videos with love and appreciation, you make very good videos, we wish you continued success Greetings from Turkey🇹🇷🇹🇷🇹🇷🇹🇷
Melt your snow small handfuls at a time it maintains the pot at a higher temperature so you melt more, gets it done quicker and using less gas.
Amazing footage, thank you for bringing your outdoor adventure into my home , can you give blue a hug , please keep safe
Lost count of how many times I watch this video and part 2. My favorite because I love Winter and watching you and Blue on this wild adventure😊
😂 hopefully I’ll make some more this winter for you.
Thank you from Brooklyn, NY, looking forward to new videos of you and yhe beautiful Blue, Merry Christmas to you and yours.
Room for one more ❤️🔥🤭
Honestly my kind of peace 🍃🍃
Blues all Snuggly Nuggly 💙🤗❤
Great video and what a beautiful dog😊
Awesome can’t wait for part deux ❄️❄️❄️☃️☃️
Love these videos 😊Blue loving life ❤
Two weeks ago after the 1st storm of the year, I'm not doing that again. Queue Storm Barra, Al, where's my tent I'm off out 😉😂 Brilliant video Al and good to see someone who is fully prepared and knows what they are doing. Looking forward to part 2 and the escape from the mountain.
😂 I’ll always get out and enjoy Mother Nature 😉. Thanks Tony. Part two should be pretty good too.
The contrast of what’s outside the tent during the white out, and what’s inside is incredible the weather turned fairly violent but you handled it like a true pro. Your dog is just the best companion and he knows when to chill out in his own sleeping bag brilliant 👍🇬🇧
Yes the weather outside was madness compared to being in the calm tent. It shows you the importance of shelter👍👍👍
BRAVO, never saw such a camping before
Just going to finish unpacking and drying out gear then I’m going to settle down and watch. I trusted my self and didn’t stay out on the weekend of Arwin. Got to say, thanks to yours and others’ vids, I’m not biting off more than I can chew and have respect for conditions. Still learning, still enjoying 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Awesome mate respect for understanding yourself 👍👍👍
Excellent video, I felt it...it looks like Blue is enjoying this weather..
Best video I've seen on RUclips under these conditions, I mean you really took your subscribers for an adventure, this one is going to be hard to beat
It was pretty epic👍
This was just amazing to watch, glad you both made it out safely and knew what you were doing. This is what I call a proper adventure!
It was an awesome one that. We loved it😬
Poor Blue please get him inside. Do you have a vehicle to leave in?
That was great to see how to successfully wild camp in a snowstorm and a perfect example of how strong the twin poles are in extreme weather on the fjallraven
Thanks I’m sure others will learn a little from it too. Thanks dude!
Best camping video by far.. please do more Storm videos
Thanks buddy. I have a few really bad weather videos all of which I enjoyed👌😉
Nice one Al - some great conditions there, very exciting and what it's all about! You could have done with a snow shovel 😁 tent held up well! 👍
Yes I left my shovel last minute. I’m fit enough to dig out but hell it was harder! Cheers chief! 👊
The wind sounds were amazing. Such a great video.
Epic snow storm camp. Brilliant.
👊
Your home is lovely ❤
Now is the winter of our discount tent! 😉
What an amazing video 👍 looking forward to part 2 😊
Awesome …. I’ve Only camped once on snow but had sunshine for 3 days sights are fantastic when covered in snow keep smiling and keep em coming
Cheers Phil. It’s a lovely place to be when snow covered. 👌
Next time, I'll bet you won't leave your snow shovel at home!! Good fun, thanks.
Wow I've been waiting forever for somebody to have the cassava's to try this I never thought about the weight of the snow on the tent. Great vid bro. Very brave
I’ll get out regardless 😉😬
You are a fantastic entertainer. 50 minute video and not a dull second. Really well done. Thanks for going out in those conditions so I don't have to!!!
😂 glad you watched it all! It’s quite a long one but a brilliant adventure 👍👍👍
Thanks for sharing. Blue certainly enjoys the snow. Take care
I think he’s an Arctic fox😂
I was just waiting for you to trek back through the snow after playing with the 🐕 dog, and suddenly say to the camera..."I can't find the tent ⛺! " 😂
Since a 5-year old kid, I've loved being out experiencing wild weather...and now at 64, I still love it...the wilder the storm the better. It simply makes you feel happy and keeps the boy inside me alive.
Viewing your short film today, spending a few days on top of a mountain 🗻 in storm Barra, really shows what living outdoors in rough weather is like. It exudes the awesome power of nature... balanced with both yours and Blue's sheer enjoyment of just being there together.
A positive outlook is all it normally takes to survive in most situations.
Loved it! Subscribed. 😉
One short note regarding the ⛺ tent: I think the Fjallraven needs a few adjustable air vents higher up the walls to allow circulation in these situations to aid release of trapped air. Using double layer of poles I think was a really positive idea. So many modern tents have thin, lightweight yet very flimsy poles that just can't cope with severe storm gusts.
Right....on to part 2! 😉
Awesome mate! Welcome and thank you. You obviously understand the feeling you get from getting out there 👍👍👍. Loosing the tent is the part when things can get dangerous. I was quite aware of that so kept it within reach 😉
@@BUSHMANandBLUE Judging by your positive attitude, I'm sure you'd have been fine if the tent collapsed. Probably the worst scenario would be for the fabric itself to tear, and then be ripped off the poles by severe wind gusts.
But then, you'd simply trek back down, with Blue guiding the way home. 😉
Yes constantly assessing the situation 👍
Blue handled that like a champ he is too cool
Unfazed👍
Even in the midst of the great unknown, your smile was comforting and infectious, 🙂
Neeeeeeee point in anything but positivity and a smile😬👊
Some serious snow there Al , can’t wait for part 2 . Top man ! ☃️⛺️☃️
Thanks Keith. I can’t wait for more snow!👍👍👍
Best RUclips video ever
😂 thank you. I have another that might beat it😉
@@BUSHMANandBLUE look forward to that then👍
This is the 2nd time of watch one of your videos I'm already hooked mate i think what you are doing is amazing, I love the lakes and your efforts to show people how amazing it is but also how important it is to be safe, best wishes to you and blue from David
Cheers Dave I’m glad you understand and appreciate my work. I hope it helps people enjoy their own adventures 👍
This channel is so under rated. It's the best of it's kind on youtube.
😊 thanks mate appreciated. I just have to keep there now 😉😂
You are crazy man! And I love it! So cozy in your tent with your dog! You are my new favorite camping channel. I just love winter camping.
👍👍👍 I love winter too! Less people 😂
That was insane! And a good lesson for anyone. What a watch, look forward to part 2, nice one 👍
Cheers pal. It was quite insane🤪
Blue is a legend
One word of caution for novice hikers…
Keeping your sense of direction is very important in conditions like these. It’s easy to get turned around or lost because your mental landmarks are constantly changing in appearance do to the weather and snowfall. Please understand this is expert mode…
Agreed mate! 👍👍👍
I for sure would advice knowledge of a compass.. because when you also loose your electronics and you can't rely on your landmarks indeed..
How delightful. It's one thing when I'm in a tent and it's raining and I'm staying dry. But it's something else entirely when you are in a windy snow storm.
My one daughter really likes you because you don't "ever say any bad words." And my other daughter loves " that he's so nice to his dog Blue." So big Thumbs Up from
all of us in Colorado. Just the best.
Brilliant. Thank you and Blue.
banger video
Fair play, that's a proper wild camp, well done to you and your gorgeous doggie xx
It was a good time up there 👍👍👍
Flippingeck that tent was not even budging. Thoroughly entertaining and inspiring.
Thank you 😊. In the next one the tent takes some digging out 😂
@@BUSHMANandBLUE looking forward to it
Almost need some type of line to find your way back to the tent in a white out .
Heard old family stories from Minnesota winter time where they had a rope from the farmhouse to the barn just forty yards alway to avoid getting lost during these white outs . People have frozen to death just feet from their houses in these blinding storms . Totally disoriented.
Definitely! It’s so easy to get turned around then you walk in the wrong direction. A tent light can help but only just in that for an extra few yards. 👍👍👍
