    That is the most fantastic little film. Full of priceless moments - both horror and laugh out loud - you did seriously well. This kind of stuff definitely happens to everyone, and makes the best learning moments. Thanks so much for sharing, and not hiding anything away from all of us. Brilliant!

    😂😂😂 Heavy back pack, long walk, no lighter for stove so no dinner, big dip in the ground so sh*t night sleep, cold throughout the night because no down cloths, no breakfast or cup of coffee in the morning, rubbish view because it was misty, other than that it was great 🤣🤣🤣It was still an adventure and you had the get up an go to do it !!! Fair play ! Looking back you had fun. Better than sitting in your bedroom watching other people have fun. You got a New subscriber. Well done !

    There's only one way to learn Mitch, and that's the way you're doing it, by experience (some good, some not so good lol)
    All in all you done brilliantly man
    Each time you do it, you will learn a wee bit more, and probably refine your gear a bit (you don't need to take the kitchen sink with you ..... they're buggers of things to pack anyway lol)
    I loved your video, and subscribed, so get ya hairy arse out there and make more videos, I'm looking forward to the next one
    It's worth carrying one of them thermal backed thin pad things that go under ya sleeping mattress, to insulate you from the ground cold and reflect your body heat back to you

    Top first effort mate. You weren't totally wrong with the stove. Some do have a piezo ignitor. Always a good idea to have a backup lighter though.
    The flextail pumps are decent to blow your mat up. Saves nearly fainting 😅 some also double as a lantern! Subscribed and looking forward to your next vid. 👍👌

    • @MitchMKNZIE

    should of got the oex herio stove its all enclosed, the Oex flux wont do you great in winter btw get ya self some nature hike down trousers also get a "yoga" mat for underneath from decathalon to help witth keeping heat, the decathalon range is better for keeping warm than OEX/Go outdoors although rab stuff go to their store in somercoats (mountain outfitters) get it cheaper too, hahah hearjing the grouse 1st time i was creeped out ha! should camp neaat to the stone ( i just posted mine on derweent edge/wheelstone)

    Is it nervous camping outdoors by yourself? I've never camped out just on my own before! It's also a good lung workout blowing up the air mattress, keeps the lungs healthy. My mate is big on fitness also and says it's good for you and regularly blows a double by himself! You'll get better the more you do it. Already impressive you blew the pillow up in just two breaths!

    • @MitchMKNZIE
      @MitchMKNZIE  2 месяца назад

      It can be quite scary at first, but you’ve got to realise that if you’re doing it in places like The Peak District, no one out there is dodgey like elsewhere in the country. Any sounds at night is just wind, sheep or birds! Once you’ve done it once it gets a whole lot easier from then onwards👍🏻

    Good man! some rookie mistakes in there with the lack of warmth, lack of time given to find a plan B camping spot, lack of a lighter but its all about learning, dont let this put you off you could have some great times with a few different changes
