  • Relaxing yet eerie hike and camp, this time with no music to capture the muted ambience of this solo wild camp on Dartmoor. But am I alone?
    I apologise for the click bait title and thumbnail... I couldn't resist 😜
    *SCROLL DOWN FOR KIT USED IN THIS VIDEO**
    In this episode of Summit or Nothing, Trev takes a peaceful relaxing trek and heads up onto Great Links Tor on Dartmoor for an eerie solo wild camp in the still mist, but when he hears strange and scary noises whilst camping he ends up having to fend off unwanted visitors.
    There's lots crammed into this atmospheric 30min vid! Packing his Cloud Peak 2 / Lowe Alpine 35:45 ProTrail, Trev also gives us quite a detailed look at his kit, how to put up the Naturehike Cloud Peak 2 and how to pack your winter kit back into your backpack after your camp all that and he still manages to squeeze in a Dartmoor Legend too.
    This video is a follow up to my Autumn/Winter Kit in a 45l backpack video - • WINTER WILD CAMPING LO...

    I know a mouse outside your tent can make you think a squirrel is out there. A racoon sounds like a bear after dark. A moose playing and eating 50 meters away sounds like you are about to get trampled. Can't imagine what I would think of a pony trying to eat my tent sounds like.
    One thing I love about your videos lately is your calm cool navigation skills. 5 years ago you were like "I'm pretty sure we're on Dartmoor," to now "I'll be camping on that Tor hidden by the mist." And then you just walk off and end up just where you wanted to. Very very good. Cheers!

    • @SummitOrNothing
      @SummitOrNothing  2 года назад

      Yea - you can never quite tell what's going on outside the tent - always plays tricks on the mind, I reckon! Well, i know this area pretty well, now, George. And when the visibilty is good, you can pretty much see your route ahead of you! Cheers for watching, sir and great to hear from you!

  • @DJVOutdoors
    @DJVOutdoors 2 года назад +2

    I thought that was the headless horseman for a sec! Lol great video. So I’ve used the cloud peak 2 twice now in still conditions and completely agree with the points you raised regarding the door flapping inwards. I got wet in the lakes from the moisture on the outside of the tent because of this and yes also got the mesh wet. The zips also do snag unless your careful with them also had this on the cloud up 2 apart from that great tents hopefully Naturehike can modify the next version. I’ve got the pump sack for the UL80 and had the same problem, couldn’t get air in it. Dave

    • @SummitOrNothing
      @SummitOrNothing  2 года назад +1

      Yea - teh cloud peak's faults are a little frustrating, think they may have changed the door now already, to be honest. I thought the cloud up 2 may have had the same zipper issue, but i have never had it snag in the four years I have been using them. The cloud peak... everytime i open the ruddy thing lol Cheers for watching!

    Recently I've been tweaking my packing.
    1 - Sleeping bag and mat ALWAYS first thing in, dead bottom of the pack
    2 - night clothes and puffy, especially if I'm not really planning on long stops before camp time
    3 - next is food and cookset, again, especially if I'm not planning on making a long lunch stop
    4 - tent; if overnight, then a single dry bag, but if two or more nights, inner and fly go into different drybags (pegs go in pack lid; poles go in pack side mesh pocket)
    5 - last thing to go in is the shell, if I'm not wearing it, so I can grab it quickly if heavens open.
    this way I have the essential (shelter) right there when I need it

    Hi Trev, great film again I have yet to venture to Dartmoor as I'm closer to the peak district. I use the same Naturehike tent all year round and tend to pack the tent and poles separately as you can easily squash the tent into a 10ltr stuff sack. Really like your ghostly tales.

    I have had similar incidents with both the ponies and cattle. I reckon that spot is where they usually sleep...
    I once had a bit of a crazy bull mooing away right outside my tent. In the end I grabbed a bit of dry gorse and lit a fire. It was a proper man triumph over animal moment.

    Hey Trev, brilliant video as always! Waiting for the first snow here in Berlin.
    You can actually use your breath to inflate the Pump Sack. If you leave about 30-40cm between your mouth and the bag, than you will create a air stream with you breath that blows the air around into the sack, therefore you wont get the condensation from your breath in but more the air sorrounding you.
    Hope my explanation was understandable, english is not my native language.😅
    Great Video with the co star pony!
