    I'm new to the camping scene. I don't have all the bits for my first wild camp (which i aim to do in spring next year), until then, me and a friend have been practicing on camp sites. We're going this Sunday, and you've inspired me to try my first ever bottle of McEwan's Champion, which I'll be taking with me. To good health 😆

    • @Hengists_Wild_Camps
      @Hengists_Wild_Camps  3 месяца назад +1

      That's brilliant news Dylan, that you're getting into wild camping. I think that aiming to do it next spring is a sensible approach, as you 'should' have the weather on your side.👍
      It's also great that you're going to be trying the McEwans Champion 7.3%. If you're planning on taking some next spring and can get a hold of it in tins, then I'd recommend taking those, as those glass bottles can weigh a bit in your rucksack. However, if I was going to a camp site, I'd be taking the bottles as well (for some reason, I think it tastes better out of bottles).🙂
      Thanks for watching and for taking the time to post a comment. I appreciate both. Have a top time next Sunday mate.👍🍻🙂

    I’ve never seen such nice weather in the Peak District 😂 Great video!
    Also, I think the main reason why a lot of people burn their food when they’re cooking at camp isn’t because of titanium pans, but because most camp stoves aren’t really suitable for cooking; the small heads heat up the middle of the pan far more than the sides, causing the contents to burn. This is why, as you rightly point out, stirring helps!

    • @Hengists_Wild_Camps
      @Hengists_Wild_Camps  3 месяца назад +1

      The weather was indeed lovely... when I needed it to be during the walk up there. However, once I was in the tent, those showers were a bit on the heavy side.🙂

    Enjoyable watch, Steve, I like the way you give a good sense of progression as you walk to your camp. This is certainly a very beautiful area, those Wheel Stones are a must see and at the top of my list to camp soon. Is Derwent Edge any quieter during the autumn and winter months? I know it can be very busy during summer, and you know me, I seek isolation where possible!

    Awesome video and great camp there Steve 👍🏻 the last time I camped on Derwent edge with a mate, we were approached by 2 game keepers that were going to move us on, but after reassuring them we would leave no trace, and a bit of ex army banter, they left us be.

    • @Hengists_Wild_Camps
      @Hengists_Wild_Camps  3 месяца назад

      Cheers Wolfie. Although it's never happened to me up there, it did happen to a couple of mates of mine who were camping a bit further along near the top of Abbey Brook, approaching a year ago now. However, they did pitch up really early and insight of some workers doing stuff to the path, who I suspect reported them.
      Once upon a time (it's only ever happened to me once) I would instantly move on if asked, but these days if it's after sunset, then I won't and will 'politely' refuse... not that I'm saying that people should follow my example. If the coppers won't attend a shop lifting incident, then I can't see them walking up a hill in the dark. Plus, trespass is a civil matter, so I doubt that they would be interested anyway unless it's aggravated trespass, which isn't something that I would do.

    Smashing video Steve, a bit different to your usual and very entertaining. I go down a different route re cooking. I did nearly the same meal recently. I transfer the curry to a mylar bag and heat seal it with an iron. I scrunch the rice up and put them both in a pan of boiling water. I do take a plate and dish them up on that. The plate and cutlery is the only washing up and definitely nowt to get burned. We all have our own way I guess. I'm currently experimenting with ways of carrying the fuel. My current favourite is a trangia burner and another burner both full of fuel and sealed. Lasts for evening meal, a cooked breakfast and four or five boils. My only worry is knocking the fuel over, thinking of getting some carbon matting and stuffing it in the burner like the xboils. (I did this as a message, but transferred it to the comments...)

      That sounds like a good coking system Phil. However, as you saw in the video, I can't even be bothered doing something simple like going into the camera settings to enable the low light mode, and don't ask me about adding music to my videos, again that's another thing that I can't be arsed with doing. It's too much like hard work for me. I'll stick with my bung it in a pan and heat it up method. I guess that I'm set in my ways, lol.🙂

I'm off out up Kinder tomorrow and the forecast is saying that it's going to be -4'C overnight (wind chill temp), so my rucksack will be around 1.5Kg heavier with hauling that bugger up there.🙂
