Cheers David. Me and Hardy literally stumbled upon that place and decided to camp there. There was evidence of past people who don't leave no trace having camped there, as there was old fire pits present. I can remember commenting to Hardy, that there was line of sight to farms on top of the surrounding hills and that lighting fires would be easily visible. As for the Tarpstar, it's incredible in gusts (pyramid tents have this reputation and it's true with the Tarpstar). I've had it out in 50mph gusts, and Hardy has had it out in 60mph gusts and it's rock solid. The only issue is that it's not really suitable for sub-zero camping due to the inner mesh i.e. Not being solid fabric. The wind blowing under the bottom of the tent can feel a bit icy in those conditions, although the shape of the tent is perfect for shedding snow. Thanks for watching mate and for taking the time to post a comment, I appreciate both.👍🙂

Cheers Cooper. From what you've mentioned the supplied pump sack sounds identical with regard to the folding section of the sack. I just found it a bit naff/small when compared to other pump sacks that I've used in the past with other pads. It reminded me of pissing through a gnats chuff (not that I've ever experienced that), so I ended up just blowing it up with my mouth to save time. Despite the pump sack issue, I still think that the pad is excellent when it comes to warmth & comfort, especially when you consider how much it costs, i.e. Who cares if blowing it up by mouth creates mould after 5 years? As long as it's on the inside I don't care, and if I did, for the price it costs, if it bothered me then I'd just buy a replacement.🙂 Thanks for watching mate and for taking the time to comment, I appreciate both.👍

Cheers for the advice Michael, and thanks for watching mate.👍

Cheers mate. I have camped in the Lakes & Wales in the past, but I don't have any current plans to do so at the moment, but also, I wouldn't rule it out. As you've mentioned those places have some stunning views. I tend to do all my camps in the Peak District. This is because besides from loving the place, especially the dark peak area, it's practically on my doorstep. I honestly never get bored of the place.🙂 Thanks for watching and for the comment, both are appreciated.👍

@Hengists_Wild_Camps if you do gonup there, I recommend the Kentmere round. Park in Kentmere, pick up the garburn road , follow the ridge up and camp on high street then back down the other side of ridge the next day, think it ticks off about 9 wainwrights

Cheers Jermaine for that nice comment.🙂 I'm pairing the Mic 2 with the DJI OSMO 4 Action Camera. However, as in the video, it sometimes looses its Bluetooth link with the camera and will refuse to pair again, only for the connection to sync again 10 mins later. Luckily, this doesn't happen too often.🙂 Thanks for watching mate.👍

@ awesome pal thank you, and thanks for taking the time out to actually reply…many don’t. Keep it up 👍🏽

Cheers Stuart, the full English certainly hit the spot.🙂 Up until getting that pad, the lowest insulated priced pad that I'd seen was the Lighttour pad for around £100 quid. This Flux 7R pad for £65 quid is incredible value. As well as it being really warm, I also found it to be very comfortable and I had a cracking sleep on it. Thanks for watching mate.👍

Cheers Mark. Although that spot doesn't have the panoramic views of the edge, it's still a nice spot looking at the Gates. It's also a bit more secluded and with a plentiful water supply on hand 🙂 Thanks for watching mate.👍😊

Cheers mate. That grub was a great way to end the trip, it definitely filled me up.🙂 Thanks for watching.👍

Cheers Bri. That camp in the video was last Saturday. Then I went back up Kinder last Wednesday for another camp and the conditions were exactly the same, lol.🙂 I was glad to film the results of your dry stone walling. It's still standing strong. Thanks for watching mate.👍

Cheers Maxine. It's a great spot for seclusion, and it's also handy for grabbing some water, lol 🙂 Thanks for watching.👍

Thanks Paul. Yes that trekking pole hack that my mate uses, really strengthens the tent. It ain't going anywhere when it's setup like that.👍 Thanks for watching mate.🙂

Cheers Paul.👍🙂

I think Ian McCulloch and Dan Durston were in a band together before he got into tents

It's a line of Rik's from The Young One's Phil.🙂

@@Hengists_Wild_Camps You see I could have asked Google, but "Ask Hengist" is way cooler! 🙂

Cheers Dave. Those words coming from someone who I totally respect and hold in high esteem means a lot to me.🙂 Thanks for watching mate.👍

Cheers Phil. That waist pouch is really handy for electricals, especially when pulling the camera out to film stuff. Although it's not an issue for the camera, with it being waterproof, my phone isn't, and subsequently, I wish that I'd bought a waterproof waist pouch, as I have to put my phone in a zip lock bag lol.🙂 Thanks for watching mate.👍

@@Hengists_Wild_Camps Youve started a quest, Ive honestly had five delivered by Amazon already, four are going back!

Cheers mate.🙂 I took my Leviathan EV 900 out a couple of weeks back in similar temperatures, and used my ExPed R-5.2 mat with it. I ended up just in a T-shirt and boxers with the top part of the bag unzipped and thrown back, I was that warm. I imagine it being even warmer when using the OEX R-7.2 mat. On this trip I used my -3'C bag and also ended up stripped down again for sleeping due to the heat. Thanks for watching mate.👍

@ 😂 Sounds toasty! The Leviathan EV 900 sounds like a real beast in the cold. Combining it with the OEX Flux 7R might just turn the whole setup into a mobile sauna! I’ll go and check out your previous video 👍🏻

Cheers John. I really like the Tetri apart from the weight, lol. However for a 2 person sturdy tent, I don't think that the weight is too bad. I've also had some of my best camping sleeps in it. I'm inclined to believe that on a subconscious level, my brain relaxes knowing that the tent isn't going to get blown down.🙂 As far as comparing Alpkit's build quality to Vango's, I'd say that they were on par with each other. Thanks for watching mate.👍

Thanks Fraser. When I watch other people's camping videos, I can never understand why they use such small cups. It doesn't seem worth the effort.🙂 Thanks for watching mate.👍

Thanks for watching mate.👍🙂

Cheers Moz. The visibility always seems to be like that around bonfire time. If it isn't natural conditions then it's smoke in the air.🙂 Thanks for watching mate.👍

Thanks Vaughan. You're spot on with that comment mate.🙂 Cheers for watching.👍

@ nice to see u in my home county

The breakfast of Kings John.🤣

Cheers Steven. It does make everything seem different when it's like that. Thanks for watching mate.👍

Thanks Peter. I've never owned a 2 hoop tunnel tent, so I can't really comment. My only concern would be if the wind changed direction and hit the tent side on, then that tunnel part could be a weak spot? Dunno really mate?🙂

​@Hengists_Wild_Camps Fair comment my friend can't wait for nxt video 👌 👍

Cheers Wolfie. Yes the Vern is a nice tent, and with that trekking pole hack that my mate used, it's rock solid.👍

Thanks Les.👍

Thanks mate, and thanks for the comment.👍

@Hengists_Wild_Camps 🙂👍

Hi mate. Yes I'm still using the camera. I use it often for timelapses. This WOLFANG camera was designed as an entry level camera with everything built in. It's far better than the last budget camera which I bought, especially the audio quality. It isn't as good as something like a DJI 4 (pic/audio quality or image stabilisation), but it does the job. Also, unlike the previous budget action camera which I had, this one is waterproof without the need of a case. I believe that WOLFANG do another camera model which is one more level above this one and is their flagship camera. It's a few quid more (not too much) and that one may be worth taking a look at.

🙂

Lol Fraser, what an ace name.🙂 Thanks for watching mate.👍
