have one on me bro, thank you and cheers.
Thank you so much my friend. Massively appreciated 👊
Blue need goggles
How do you buy you a pint & a chew for blue,as I bought one on the 1st episode of your 2 day snowstorm & don't think it went through
Thanks for the info at the start about what crampons you carry- thats exactly the info I was looking for! I want to get into winter hill camping in the lakes/ Scotland this year and am trying to figure which micros spikes/ crampons to go for!? I've actually just bought the kahtoola Kts crampons but I was wondering if they will be over kill for some situations, and whether it might be best to carry the microspIkes ASWELL.. From what you say it seems this is what you do too!? Ps I'm close to buying you and blue a beer. Lol
Inspirational. I'm 36 years old and I spend 75% of my life sedentary - working on a laptop. I think it's making me depressed. These videos are inspiring me to recognise that this is no way to live. A lot of what you say about getting out there really resonates with me.
I have to say that you’re on the cusp of a life changing decision. No one wants depression or a sedentary lifestyle. It goes against our nature so worth considering a better way of living. I purposely never went in to an office job for that reason. Well done for recognising the issue just try act on those thoughts and get out more mate👍👍👍
I was the same bro, depressed, unhappy, after watching bushman and blue along with a couple of other youtubers I knew I had to follow suit. I went to the bank borrowed 5 grand and kitted myself and my little rescue dog Ruby out with all the gear my favourite youtubers use and went to some of the places they have been. I messaged a youtuber and asked for a good location for a first time wild camp. I arrived at hallin fell around 10:30 Christmas day, hiked to the top of the mountain put my tent up and stayed there for the next few days. the wind was unbelievable you could hear it howling down the valley then there would be 4/5 seconds of silence then the wind hit . I can't actually articulate how intense (excuse the pun) it was to be in a tent on a mountain in them conditions . I'm totally hooked . I've literally just returned home from 5 days in the Peak District and had the time of my life with my little dog.i got home about a hour ago seen bushman had a new video out so I started watching so I could drop a comment and thank him for the gift he's given me now and until the day I physically can't get out there. its changed my life. I maybe in 5 grands worth of debt but its 5 grand I'll happily pay back. so please bro get out there and start living. thank you bushman and blue dog . God bless the two of you.
Wow well that’s the stories I want to hear and be part of the positivity. A simple life choice and obviously instantly you feel the benefits from getting out there in nature. It does become a happy place away from our usual grind. Positive escapism👊. All the best my friends!
Al
@@martyl425 Thank you for your wonderful tale. I know I just need to take the plunge! I wish I had a dog.. seems like it might be lonely without one. Congratulations on this new chapter.
Just a couple of tips if 5 grand sounds heavy.
• Buy used gear, you can shave off 50%.
• Smaller things like gloves, etc. can also be bought from military surplus stores, while the Big 4 can be bought from reputable brands.
I love videos where dogs are well taken care of
I love my dog🥰
Dog is god spelt backwards 😊
In my seventies now and banged up from arthritis, but I still dream of all those glorious days and nights (and handsome young men) spent in the grand outdoors. My dogs are now little lap dogs. Gone are the days of lifting my big Keeshonds, but watching you and Blue brings all those wonderful memories racing back. Sometimes, I can shut my eyes and am almost on the side of a mountain with you two. Thank you.
You and Blue have the absolute, without a doubt, best outdoor-camping-hiking channel on RUclips. I would love to buy you a coffee or two (or something stronger) and Blue lots of treats.
Thank you for hours of enjoyment and sweet memories,
Dr. Lyn from Atlanta, Georgia USA
Wow thank you😊. I’m glad you get to relive some outdoor adventures and memories. Dogs are just brilliant companions and I’m glad you appreciate it. 👍👍👍
Reading this made me teary-eyed. Thanks
Amazing!
I totally agree Dr Lyn Walden These are fantastic videos. I am in my early 60's and thankfully still fit enough to fell walk
Get out as much as you can 😀
🥰🥰🥰 who else loves blue 🥰🥰🥰
Blue's face with the water was fantastic.
RUclips content like this is why I dont watch TV anymore! Thanks for another fantastic video. Inspirational and I'm sure it will help a lot of folks. I went on a hike this morning on the southwest coast path. I was there for sunrise, it was uplifting. Simple things in life are best.
Lovely time to get out especially because generally you’ll be the only one out👍👍👍. Thanks mate much appreciated
One of the best camping vloggers around . Entertaining and informative at the same time, love the wild weather stuff.
Cheers chief 👊.
Blue is cutie pie
A year later and I'm playing & enjoying this again. Love watching blue's complete enjoyment, from leading the hike, rolling in the tufts of grass, drinking and eating and his awesome facial expressions. Dogs show us the way to live life fully.
“One life. Wise choices. Make it good”. Absolutely 100% right, Al. These videos, as the comments say below, really make a difference to peoples lives & their choices. I know they are for me. I’m struggling at the moment mental health wise but these videos truly are a part of my therapy. Thank You 🙏 Al & Blue 🐾
Well I hope I’m helping people out even if just a little. Like your quote above, just giving words people can repeat to themselves is definitely a positive. All the best to you my friend and keep moving because if you stop you don’t see what’s round the corner.
I love how blue is such a good boy .. and puts on his backpack 🎒
He is an awesome dog and does his fair share in the pack🥰
Mate, seeing you and your bond with Blue just gives inspiration to go out and life this life side by side with nature.
I just came back from little hike here in Ireland and I'll position myself nice and comfy and with cuppa, enjoy your video until end. Never stop creating and never stop living the way you do! ❤️😊
Cheers mate much appreciated 👊. I’m hoping to inspire others to get out more😊
@@BUSHMANandBLUE I'm sure you're successfully doing just that :)
On the subject of water - "Whats up,not good enough for ya? it didn't come out of a manky puddle or a bog?" lol Blue is an amazing dog :) never fails to make me smile.
He’s definitely a dog made for the outdoors 😂😂😂
Oh... and I ADORE Blue wrapped up in his foil blanket. That is just BLISS 💕
You have become my favorite new channel. I love how chill you and Blue are. Such a perfect match. Not only are you easy on the eyes....you give some much great information and conversation that makes watching you addictive. Thank you for sharing your adventures so that you can not only inspire us to take our own...but you allow us to join when we can't go on our own for whatever reasons we all have! Keep up the great work! Your channel will continue to grow because you are such a genuine guy! Much love from the USA!!! ❤️🥰😉
Thank you 😊. I’m glad you appreciate my channel and what I’m doing. I’m definitely hoping to inspire more and more people to get outside and enjoy their lives that touch more👍👍👍
🥶🥶🥶. BRRR! Blue is such a trooper...a true outdoors dog! He is so well trained and behaved he is such fun to watch. 👍❤️
Yes he’s an amazing dog! 🥰
Another fantastic video Al, so kind of you to be a camerman for all Blue's adventures. You deserve so many more subscribers!!
😂 that’s it mate I’m just a cameraman 😂
Blue is such a brilliant companion, great videos.
Hahaha, when you said Alexa 8 minutes timer. My Alexa responded 8 mins starting now 😅🤣
Too true, the Lakes are very much like that. Always heed the mountain weather forecast before you set out, and also, tell someone where you're going and about what time you'll be back. I've seen people on high mountains in flip-flops. Take the right gear for virtually everything. Really enjoyed every minute of this, and the time seem to fly by. Most enjoyable mountain videos I've ever seen, so thank you.
Thanks mate. I’ve seen the flip flop thing too! Maybe in perfect summer weather some outdoor sandals but not flip flops.
Another great video to finish off the week Al. Probably one of the prettiest sunsets I had ever seen absolutely beautiful. A turn of events in the morning though! Glad yourself and Blue got down alright. Look forward to the next adventure!
It was a lovely evening although breezy was very calming. 👊
Can’t get enough of this. So inspirational and has definitely led me to make some life changes … for the better! Thank you.
Excellent mate! We can all do better in life👍👍
This one is one of my favs which I keep returning to. I dunno if it's the sunshine on the snowy mountains/hills and rocks, the incredible cold and wind, the twinkle in Blue's eye or Bushmans steady commentary providing a calm and awsm narration. It's time for me to get out into nature again and breathe in the frosty, stormy winter weather :) Thx for making your videos!
Brilliant mate I’m glad you appreciate it. Definitely get out in winter for some adventures. There is nowt better than a still crisp frozen morning👍
Absolutely brilliant, I love your channel, thanks for sharing.
Thanks Kim 😊
What a beautiful and well behaved dog Blue is.
He really is! We are a good team.
100% agree
Loving your videos. As people have said very inspirational. Take care both of you
Woo yeah time to get cozy 🥰💙
I almost feel like I am there with you and Blue. How I love space and the great outdoors. You manage to bring it into my home every time I watch these vids. Love ‘em.Best on RUclips without a doubt. Thanks a million!
Cheers Pete appreciated 👊
What a great dog Blue is - having a lovely time. Another great vlog, cheers!
👍👍👍
Absolutely epic, awesome, smashed out of the park vid once again! Thank you! Thoroughly enjoyed this and so inspirational. Music was fantastic, breathtaking views and those gradients - just wow. Totally loved the part too with Blue and his reaction when you gave him a bowl of water 🥰 Ahh sorry to see your cover go but glad you were both safe (main thing). Keep these vids coming. Thanks for the tips too 😊👍🏕❄
Brilliant thank you😊. Blue is such a character and make me laugh often with his human like looks 👍👍👍
Good job you have the dog to show you the way all the time.
That’s his place in the pack😉
Great film again Al, still pushing the boundaries and producing new interesting content 😃 loved the look in Blue’s face behind you as you waved your biscuit around in front of his eyes 🤣
😂 he always adds those special looks in my videos. Cheers Nick 👊
I was hoping Blue was going to take the biscuit.
@@taffman1 ah he always takes the biscuit one way or another 😂
😂😂😂
Another great adventure which I thoroughly enjoyed. Good advice regarding sudden change of weather conditions.
It can catch people out and being prepared for the worst is the best way of dealing with it. Cheers buddy 👍👍👍
Deep snow and freezing rain on the way here, so just like every other day, the dog has to go out for a spin. Really enjoy these winter camp outs Al. You make it look so easy but I've been there and it's bloody hard work a lot of times.
Yes it’s definitely tougher that you think out there but always worth the effort👍👍👍
You know what’s amazing about your videos it’s not just the videos it’s the community you’ve created. All the comments are great to read 👍🏻
A positive community is definitely what I’m hoping to build. I like how people are helping each other out in the comments👍👍👍
Leave no trace! Think we'll all forgive that one. Brilliant as per usual ❤️
Wow! Wow!Wow another brilliant video.👍👍👍👍👍👍
Your capacity for hard work never ceases to amaze me Al. Great fun shifting all that gravel and rocks. You just remind me where the real fun and happiness is.
Just get out and enjoy it and it doesn’t feel like hard work
I am loving these videos. You have one very lucky pooch
Cheers mate. We both love the adventure 👊
@@BUSHMANandBLUE meant to ask, what do you use over your GoPro for audio?
I made a little dead cat over the two mics but they do work too well. When I can afford it I’ll buy a decent mic👍👍👍
@@BUSHMANandBLUE I actually thought you were lucky to have Blue I wish my dogs were so well behaved, he seems a great dog!
I’ve put a lot of time in to his training but as you can see it pays off. I walked 21 miles the other day with a few friends over 10 mountains and never gave him one command all day. Worth training them well for an easy life!
Blue is the best lad , great video , mind yourself :)
Now the one life message is uber pertinent .Al my friend. When we can lose loved ones in a fraction of a second we must make the most of everything 💥💥
Absolutely! We all should try do more in life that is fun and enjoyable 👍
I see you succumbed to the "dark side" with the walking poles Al. 🤣🤣 Another great and inspiring video. BTW - how old is Blue? He's such a good companion, and tough as nails.
He’s 7. They don’t come out often😂
inspiring ! one of the best videos I've seen, your relationship with Blue is magic. Cheers for sharing
Magic 🥰. It definitely is👊
One life, live it, fill your head with good things, colours and higher vibrations 🙌
👍 definitely 😬
Good beard
Thanks for uploading, Al. I'm new to the channel so working my way through your back catalogue. I would recommend using a Sea-To-Summit pack cover which has a strap going round the pack fixing between the straps, if you decide to keep using one.
Welcome mate👊. Yes most of mine are similar but this one identifies as a kite😂
Oh my God you’re amazing not to be morbid but kinda remind people this is this is not easy this is for the experienced we’ve lost many climbers many abroad and here you need to be experiencing this this guy looks amazing and thank you for showing us what we otherwise would not imagine or see
Amazing as always Al! I loved how Blue looked at you, when you gave him clean water and you knew exactly what he wanted ( the dirty kind) 🤣🤣🤣 I had a giggle at how oblivious you were, that your rain cover had blown off your backpack 🎒 When did you realise it had gone?!
I only realised back at the car. It was just a case of concentrating to get back down safely. I had to buy another for £25 that day 😂
@BUSHMAN and BLUE what a bummer! Your Blue was seemingly fascinated, watching it fly away 🤣🤣
Your absolutely nuts, but your also absolutely inspirational mate, another fantastic video from you and blue, thanks 🙏 for the pleasure of this watch, your becoming a legend 👍
Not quite a legend but one day maybe 😂 cheers pal.
Just brilliant .thank you al
FOOD. LOOKS. DELICIOUS.
Blue is such a STAR. I’m glad I came across your videos. They are fantastic. I love the way you love Blue. He is such an awesome dog. Again thank you for the awesome videos. Many Blessings to you and Blue.
I’m glad you’ve found me too 😊👍
Just after saying " leave no trace " here goes the backpack cover 😅 . Geez ! that wind was hurricane force , how could you stand up ? Thanks for sharing
😂Yes I was annoyed but it also made me laugh how sometimes these things happen. It was a rubbish design anyway considering it’s from fjallraven!👍👍👍
Fantastic. Like being in heaven.no people. Blue loves it.
Perfect viewing for a Sunday evening. Your videos fill the void created by the cancellation of Last of the Summer Wine! Keep doing what you're doing - inspirational stuff!
😂wow if I can do half as good entertainment as last of the summer wine I’ll be a happy man. Cheers mate!
Hi Bushman and Blue,Trev here... another really enjoyable video. Keep up the good work. Cheers.
I'm now in my 80swith a terminal lung condition so basically grounded, but I used to do what you do - used to teach aircrew survival and spent 10 years in the Cairngorm Mountain Rescue team, part of it as Deputy Team Leader. Happy days, but tough at times. Really enjoy your adventures and thoroughly approve of your sage advice to others about being prepared. Good onyer.
Well you’ve made some great memories and used your body fully which many never do. Good luck with it all and keep doing what you can. All love mate.
Hi I have been binge watching your videos nothing getting done in the home you and Blue are a pair and your father is a inspiration at 81 being a raw food eater in this cold climate is very brave.keep doing what you are doing stay safe and keep ole blue eyes safe.And save me a space in the hot tub.
😂 get on with something productive 😂. Glad you appreciate my videos 👊😊
Absolutely brilliant Al. You were starting to look like a yeti with all that ice on ya beard. The sunset views were stunning.
Thanks mate. I was going to camp out the next night but was jiggered from that so I jibbed.
Excellent Al ....you and Blue have smashed another great camp👏🏻Looked like tough work though getting that tent away 😀
It was actually quite exhausting as the wind didn’t rest so I couldn’t. Thanks mate!
Yet another first class video Al, you really do put your kit and yourself through its paces. Had to laugh at your companion Blue turning his nose up at the clean water, what a character 😁
Stay safe, Morgan
😂yes he’s a character. Cheers though my friend 👊
Sending my Alexa bonkers 🤣 Great video as always. Laughed when I saw the backpack cover. I suffered the same fate once.
First time for me but the design is rubbish. I wish I could be a designer for outdoor gear🤔👍
The funniest part was when you were eating your soft bake and Blue was watching in the background 😂 Boss video mate, look forward to the next one.
😂he always has such expressions 👍
I like to imagine that blue thinks you’re crazy talking to yourself all the time 😂
He probably does 😂😂😂
Blues personality just gets me every time! Those facial expressions 🥺
He is brilliant!😂
Such an amazing channel I beg you never stop posting videos you really inspire me to go out and camp and I always look up to you thanks for another amazing video please never stop
😂 I best keep making them then. Thanks for your feedback mate👊
The production of these videos is impressive Al. Enjoying the snow. Well done mate 👍
Thanks I’m trying my best with the kit I have and the fact I’m new to it all 👍👍👍
@@BUSHMANandBLUE looks like you’ve been doing it for years 👍
You and Blue are so inspiring , words are not enough , to see the bond between you both can not be bought, wish I was there in the lake District, you are awesome!
😂cheers buddy 👍👊
Wonderful. Beautiful. Al, it's always a joy to watch your video with Blue the wonder dog. Keep safe and God bless you always
He is a wonder dog😊👊
Ever the pro Top Filming in that weather Al love how ya dry Blue n get him sorted b4 ya even take ya pack off 👌👌
Thanks mate! I have to look after my boy😊
Hiya. Fab camp out. Love it. And included timeline 30:39 (Including humour) keeps people smiling and a brilliant comment with regards to long spoon I use these at home sometimes with regards to the ready meals and have the long spoons which have never thought of but only possible to eat these meals from so well commented
Keep the good videos coming in
Your videos really are class. Love the way you let your dog be a dog. Thanks.
Exactly what dogs should be👍👍👍
Thank you for another enjoyable and awesome video with you and your amazing dog Blue. Fantastic and beautiful views of our precious Lake District ! The video highlights correctly how if you are not prepared and don’t have the experience you can get yourself quickly in trouble. Your analogy ‘ one life’ is so correct and been life changing for me.
Well I’m glad I’m helping people think more about life and making better life choices and yes the weather can definitely break people quickly who are not prepared or experienced enough. Thanks pal👍
Just loved it when you put your head on your rucksack when packing up....'thank God that's done!'
It takes some doing as well as having the presence of mind to keep on filming your adventure on top of everything else.
Just another epic vid Al.
Some of your feed comments just show how many people's lives you are helping to turnaround. Wonderful inspirational stories with which I'm sure you're justifiably proud.
Have said it before and I'll say it again,the last words are for Bluey dog, he's just bloody exceptional.
ATB Al.
Mick👊🙏👍
Yes those stories definitely keep me inspired to carry on and I’m glad I’m helping people. Thanks mate for your kind words😊👊
Wow. We had a pint in the Kirkstone inn yesterday and it was chilly. Thumbs up to you for the amazing content #shivering
In cold temperature settings, to place in your camping accessory kit, get some hand warmers, great addition for your gloves and place a few in your bedding keeps you warm as well.
Yes could be a life saver too👊
Hello from New Zealand, Enjoyed watching your video. I'm 73 and still out there doing it ,have done so for most of my life. At time of writing this I'm off on a 3 day solo tramp (what you would call a hike). We have huge forest and mountain ranges here and I can relate so much to you up there in the snow. I can go for weeks and not see a single soul, so I know what you mean when you talk about SOLITUDE,
The mountains have kept me sane and fit and away from the mad world of today. keep getting out there and making your videos, it will inspire others to do the same.
Yes that’s exactly why I love the mountains for escapism. I actually ran the Kepler track one day in NZ (63km). Fantastic scenery.
Your vlogs are truly inspirational mate... yet again an epic. Fantastic....thank you.
Bloody hell mate looks extreme even by your standards 😫 Glad you and Blue got off safely 👍
Brilliant video love the effort you go to in producing this content well done . Lots to gain from this thanks👍
Thanks mate. 👊
That fjällräven tent seems to hold up great in extreme conditions. Great episode again!
Amazing video again Al. Stunning sunset.
When you said " Alexa 8 minutes " mine responded 🤣🤣. You really do give me inspiration and the motivation I need ( kick up the backside ). Stay safe
Excellent I might use Alexa to help inspire others😂. I’ll come up with something. Thanks👍
Another brilliant one Alan, thanks for taking us along. Stay well atb
Cheers buddy 👊
What a trip. I agree with others. Inspirational to watch how you deal with all that is thrown at you both. Blu is an absolute treasure. Well done to both of you. Fantastic video.
Cheers Jimmy boy👍👍👍
Another brilliant video Al , really testing you and your equipment to the limit ! Top man !
Thanks Keith. No point buying kit and not using it 👍👍👍
Another epic adventure class act!!! love reading the comments definitely inspirational your videos. Totally off my scale of wild camping but love seeing the experience and kit that you use 👌. Need to get the abisko 1 fixed love that tent in ya vids.
Yes I’ll fix it soon👍. Great tent. Cheers mate👍
Blue always makes me feel like everything is going to be ok.
😂😂😂 he’s definitely a calming influence 😊
Awesome as always, I think Blue wanted to retrieve your backpack cover, but he realized he was a shepherd and not a retriever so gave up (must be a union dog).
He looked like he saw it! If I’d have known at the time and said fetch he might have got it for me👍
A union Dog, I love it, I can imagine the meetings 👍👍👍🤣
Your dog is stunning and so loyal
Amazing vid as always. So glad we met you up the lakes, we have enjoyed looking out for your next vid. Keep it up pal.
It’s lovely meeting people out there👍
i have binge watched all ur videos. I'm absolutely happy I found ur channel. I love Blue as well. he's a good dog. I'm a big fan already!! All the way from Georgetown Kentucky
😂 I’m glad you’ve binged and a massive welcome to the channel😊😬
Watched every second of that!! Please be careful as we want many more Blue (and Bushman) adventures to come!
😂😂😂 yes I best take care of him👍
Your vids are great , and blue is awesome
Thought you look sad and i hope you are OK
Big up from France.
Hi you kindly sent me a birthday message at the request of my lovely man because he knows I love your videos…he played it in the hotel room when we were getting ready to meet friends for our night out in Liverpool..cheers for that 👍 x
Happy birthday! I hope you’ve had a lovely day. Enjoy your evening.
All love
Al
I am loving it… it looks so beautiful. Such amazing filming. Look after yourself & Blue with all that ice around.
Always try be as safe as possible and adapt to the conditions 😬😬😬. Thanks for caring.
Well I think that you are well equipped to deal with conditions like that more than most. I certainly wouldn’t be and know my limitations. Blue is lovely and adores you even though you take him out into bad weather. That is said tongue in cheek because I know you look after him. My favourite RUclips bushcraft channels are the ones with dogs included, they are so loyal. Both stay safe.
Dogs are definitely special friends that are always happy to see you 🥰 I’m glad he’s adored by my subscribers too
Excellent video again Al, thanks for sharing.
Yes !!! Another winter camp !!!
Fair play to you and blue. awesome video again. Thanks and stay safe.
Hi . Thanks for your great videos . You are quickly becoming my favourite. Regards
😂 hopefully I’ll make it to be your favourite 👊
