Get better soon Nath! Had my first, and hopefully last, kidney stone last year. Horrible pain! Get better. Thanks for the adventure. Still getting use to seeing your type of terrain without trees.
Cheers Lee. Will pass your regards onto Nath. Yep, Dartmoor is pretty barren, but it's an amazing landscape. The pictures don't do it justice . Thanks for watching.
I have used this tent ⛺️ about 2 years 🥰 I love it. It’s held up through rain storms and all kinds of weather I’m actually thinking about getting the Fourseason insert for winter camping because I love it so much
Kenco 3 in 1 are future, I have started using two sachets per cup for a nice strong coffee👌☕️
I first started using them when travelling for work, decent coffee is hard to find in China, so it was like taking a taste of home into each hotel with me.. and now when I have it camping it brings back good memories
Classic summit or nothing- Trev. (Pitch on a slope, spill water) great views of Dartmoor. Hope Nath is better soon.
Haha! Yea, I think I did us justice lol. Cheers for watching!
Quality, funny wild camp and review as always Trev, Really enjoyed it mate. Lee
Those shots in the morning were stunning.
Yea, I was spoilt once that mist started to fade. Thanks for watching!
Get well soon Nath, hopefully you will be back to full match fitness asap! I have had kidney stones myself about 25 years ago and never known pain like it, so best of luck to you buddy! That was a great walk into your camp and one thing for certain, if you had to get up for a pee in the night you would not lose your tent....The Alan Partridge taking book would great if you were tent bound or a copy of Dartmoor Tales and Mystery's. 04.00 am would be a great time to wake up in the summer, just right for the sunrise but in the winter...... but good to see once the mist lifted a bit you did get a stunning morning. Cheers Alan
Cheers Alan. Will pass on your regards. Thanks for watching, I really enjoyed this camp, despite the mishaps and frustrations within the tent that I had failed to put up correctly. The morning scenes were absolutely stunning. Well worth it! All the best, sir! And well done on your 800 subs! Keep it up!
Great videos mate, think we will check out that part of the moor next weekend for a good hike!
Cheers Tom. Was a good area to camp in. Definitely worth a look. Thanks for watching!
Hopefully its all worth it for that atmospheric misty sunrise at dawn. Thanks Trev and get well soon Nath.
Yea that's why I do these things. Thanks for watching Steve
I love Lanshan 2.
Very good Trever.. thanks for the Dartmoor food legend , Get well soon Nathan
Cheers. Glad you enjoyed it! Atb!
Love your channel.It's real,it's fun.Air mattress sliding,freezing cold,spilling water in the tent and can't sleep.
These guys with expensive hilleberg tents, where everything is perfect and toasty warm are all the same.
This is real wild camping,thanks mate!
Hahah! Yeah, doesn't get much more real than this! Glad you enjoyed the video. Thanks for watching, and for dropping a comment. Much appreciated!
Great vid Trev. I especially loved the temperature inversion shots.👍👍
Cheers, Martin. I only wished I'd stayed for longer with the time lapse. Thanks for watching!
Good luck Nath. I had them about 4 years ago. Until I knew what it was I actually thought I was dying!
Nice solo Trev, really enjoy these ones. Take it easy 👌👍
Yea they don't sound good. Hopefully he'll be ba k yo normal soon. Cheers for watching, Nick!
Well done Trevor, great video. You're vids are a real public service for people like me who can now enjoy and experience the wild outdoors sitting in our warm and favourite armchair!
Cheers very much. Glad to have people like you join me. It helps me to not feel like a Billy no mates when I'm out on them hills all on my Todd 😂😂. Thanks for watching!
Great part of the moor and the tent looks like a very good one to use for a solo hike. Great video as usual
Yea was a beaut of a spot. And the tent is supposed to be a great lightweight option, once I learn how to put it up properly haha.... thanks for watching!
Loved those time lapse and panorama mist shots, think a beer towel might be a good idea if you are to sort out your little accidents 👍
Yep - i think you could be right, lol. Thanks for watching. All the best!
Good to see the entire wild camp with the Lanshan 2. Hope Nate gets well soon. ATB Nate. Get a roll of Rubberized no skid shelf lining and put it between your tent floor and sleeping pad and pad and sleeping bag if necessary... The stuff weighs an ounce or two and will stop the sliding around when you can't find a level pitch. Awesome solo Trev.
Great suggestion, Max - I will look into it. Every day is a school day, huh? Thanks for watching!
Everyday a school day and I still have so much to learn.
@@HikeCamp Here, here!
Haha! The "popular" side of Dartmoor. Thats the side nearest me. Always quite busy on a sunny day. I cant wait to get myself over there to Leather Tor, Burrator Reservoir and Sheeps Tor and all the rest of it. So much to explore. Roll on the weekends.
Yep. There are some cracking areas. I must say I much prefer the tranquillity of the North moor. Okehampton across the Tavy cleave and over to Merryvale is absolutely stunning. Bleak but stunning.
Anti sliding technique - mix silicon sealant with a drop of turps and then paint stripes on the inside groundsheet of your tent it grips your airmat
And I've just noticed you've done a review, am watching it now 😂
We all have "pack explosion" inside the tent. Love the Vids!
Glad its not just me then. Haha. Thanks for watching!
Great video Trev ... looks a great place to hike and go .. I hope Nathan recovers from his Kidney Stone attack, and that the Stone passes... I’ve had stones, the pain is indescribable... my thoughts are with him ... see you in the next one ... 👍🏻👍🏻
Thanks Glenn. It does sound painful. Thanks for watching!
I sincerely hope Nath's on the road (or footpath) to recovery. Someone I know was in hospital over Christmas. I'm not particularly fond of this guy but I wouldn't wish the experience upon anyone. On the subject of sliding around inside a tent; Robin from Walk With Wallce gave me a great tip. Ikea sell something called 'STOPP'. It's a rubber mesh-mat designed to stop rugs from sliding on smooth floors. Inexpensive and easy to trim with scissors. I found it stopped my sleeping bag from sliding off the mat.
Stunning footage throughout your film, here - thanks for sharing and all the best.
Great suggestion, cheers, Olly. I will look into that product. It was frustrating trying to stay in one spot! Thanks for watching! Cheers!
Great Channel lads keep up the good work, will be head to Dartmoor myself this weekend for a solo wild camp.
Great stuff! Hope you had a great time! Thanks for watching!
Get well soon Nath. I'm out onto Dartmoor the weekend of the 9th. If you boys are around I owe you guys a beer for the entertainment. Keep the videos coming guys. Totally awesome.
Cheers Dean, will see what's what nearer the time and let you know. Thanks for watching!
@@SummitOrNothing no problem. Keep the videos coming. Very entertaining.
Hi Trev. Another great vid! ATVB Graham
Beautiful footage, And that stew looked delicious and made my mouth water :-)
Thanks, Torunn. Was some lovely views... and lovely stew. Thanks for watching!
Enjoyed that Trev ,get well soon Nath
Cheers Alex.
Great video. Pretty brave to camp out there on your lonesome. Well done you.
Its not too bad when you're out there. Thanks for watching!
Great video yet again Trev. I have to add that I've never had any condensation issues with my Lanshan, but then I don't cook in the vestibule with the flysheet closed, maybe that was the cause? You can get a 4 season inner for it which I highly recommend, it's a lot warmer and windproof. Hoping to see a review soon, I think it'll grow on you. I spilled an entire bottle of beer in mine, soaked my exped matt and rucksack, didn't smell too great either! Seems I'll never learn! Hope Nathan gets well soon. 👍🙂
A few people have commented that it was probably due to being such a still night and no breeze to keep air flowing. I may get the 4 season inner in time for next winter. I have another tent to try out the next time I get out and then I reckon spring will be on the way. Will get the Lanshan back out then. Haven't given up on it yet, still on the learning curve for me I reckon. Thanks for watching! All the best!
Nice one Trev, good luck Nath. Thanks for the warts and all experience.
I think given the stillness of the air and temperature difference lots of condensation was inevitable.
I’ve been successful using a bivvy bag, then putting my mat inside with down hydrophobic down bag, keeps everything together. Unless you are a really hot sleeper I would recommend a bag rated to -6/-8 bag in winter. Try Alpkit SkyeHigh 900 (my winter bag), also for the more budget conscious the Aegismax D3L, D4L or G3L off AliExpress are all good buys and up to the job.
I have an M2L, high quality goose down which I find perfect as a 2 season bag (warm and really small pack size)
Yea I am always on the look out for some better and smaller sleeping bags for winter camping on a budget so thanks for the recommendations. You could be right about the condensation, it was the stillest I have ever known it. Thanks for watching!
Great film! Hope Nath gets better. Epic place really is. Keep on filming bud! Paul
Cheers Paul. Will pass on your regards to Nath. Good to hear from you, thanks for watching! All the best!
Summit Or Nothing Thank you! Got lots lined up this year so really excited about the future!
@@pauljones401 Sounds great Paul. Hope you're planning to share it on YT! I look forward to seeing what a you get up to.
15.07 - I concur! 🙂
Spot on, mate
Cheers, Andy!
Enjoyed that one Trev, cheers! Get well soon Nath! By the way, the Jetboil Zip and Flash models don’t have a simmer control as they are primarily meant for fast boiling water. The other models allow you to turn down the gas and simmer under more control, but they cost a small fortune!
Yea I bet they do... it all costs a small fortune. Cheers for watching Richard!
Wishing Nath a speedy recovery!
I enjoyed that Trev, home cooked food too. Thankfully I was eating whilst watching :P
Have a look at Speedster stoves, the bundle pot/shield and burner option is very reasonable and would work well for heating and cooking food using the simmer option he sells. Check out some of Jay's vids as he's got one. ATB, Dave
Cheers Dave. Will pass on your regards and will check out speedster stoves. Take It easy bud and thanks for watching!
Home cooked/ fresh cooked food is one of my favourite ways to enjoy being outside.
Sound Camp Cheers Mate
Ideal... Cheers Mark!
Hey, nice video! I have to disagree with the cold and uncomfy nights tho. Good sleeping pad + cozy (and most of all WARM) sleeping bag and you might find that tranquility and peace during night hours too! Come winter-morning I sometimes don't even want to see the first light, cause its so warm and comfortable inside :D
All the best!
Yea, I must say I'm a lot comfier since I've been using the inflatable than that bloody thermarest ridherest. But boy was this a cold night. Thanks for watching!
Ha ha! We've all done it...knocked over a cup of water or coffee. Just thank your lucky stars it wasn't the contents of your pee bottle!! Excellent video, as always. Hope Nath gets better soon. Terrible pain, kidney stones.
Haha! This is probably why I haven't gone down a pee bottle route yet, lol. Thanks for watching Ken. Will pass your thoughts on to Nath!
I take 2 of those green sit pads from mountain warehouse with me and use them to pad out the uneven side under the sleep mat. Works quite well.
Ah-ha! Great tip, thanks!
@@SummitOrNothing No probs. I don't think I've ever found a bit of even ground to camp on out in the wild(ish).
@@dhexistentialist5215 of gets like that for sure.
Great vid.
Thanks Philip. Glad you enjoyed it.
Had to comment half way through the video. Editing is excellent as always Trev. Keep it up lad I'm enjoying malarkey work. Which I think is an Irish saying, cos I use it a lot.. Irish lad in romania on holliers watch in in!
Trev finished the video. Lessons learned.. don't piss in the wind 😉
@@stever8628 Haha! Cheers for watching, Steve. Glad you enjoyed the video. All the best!
I have the same tent. Just a tip for you. You use the front and back guy lines on the doors as well. This should give you enough pegs and stop the sag in your tent. Good videos by the way.
Yep, I am aware now of the various faults in my pitching. Hoping to get some practice in before I get out next, lol. Thanks for watching!
Nice vid Trev, how.to see the lansham out more getting a good testing. Get well soon Trev.
Cheers! Thanks for watching!
Inspiring as ever, Trevor.
Looking forward to seeing where you end up next. In what new tent.
Hahaa! Cheers, Thom. Thanks for watching! Also, I have sent an email to your Trail cook email. Have you seen it, bud?
Summit Or Nothing I have not. But only because I had forgotten that I had an email address. So I’ll try and remember the password and I’ll have a look post haste!
Summit Or Nothing finally saw your email.
Thanks for reminding me I had an email address I’d forgotten about
Nath, get well soon. So sorry to hear about that.
Thanks, George! Hoping he's over the worst of it!
Do you have a link for where we can find those food bags you can boil ? I cant find the bleeding things anywhere and searched amazon until my fingers bleed ! :(
good video
Cheers Craig.
Loving the vid, but have to ask.... could you not of just used the bridge at 2.17?
Much as I love Dartmoor, I'm paranoid as anything these days about leaving my car parked up overnight with all the recent break ins.
Yeah, I know what you mean. Not sure what area the most damage is done, but where I parked was pretty out of the way for this walk. I still wondered if I would find my car in one piece though. Thanks for watching!
Should of used the mirage bit of extra weight better tent doesn't flap in the wind these light weight tents are crap in rough terrain but love your vids keep them coming!
The Lanshan is a highly recommended little tent among light weight wild camper and backpackers. I think I just ballsed it up when I put it up. Dunno about the mirage though, my winter packs heavy enough. Will get it out again next time we are up a mountain I reckon. Thanks for watching.
Kidney stones... Worst than child birth I'm reliably informed, get better soon Nath. I've just got me a dd underquilt and have a week off soon so gonna get a stomp on myself. Great vid as always trev keep it up bud.
Great to hear that you are due to get your stomp on. Thanks for watching!
Putting me in the mood for my own trip there Friday for a few days, still not sure what part i want to go to though. Have you tried Waitrose's look what we found meals? half the price of normal camp specific meals and very tasty.
Ive not tried them, but to be honest, I think I am quite looking forward to veering away from the premade meals and preparing my own. Should at least give them Waitrose meals a quick review though I guess. Thanks for the suggestion and for watching!
Saw someone that's the guy lines of the front sides can actually let in a bit of water so you might wanna check that out!
Oh, thanks for letting me know. Will keep an eye on that! Cheers for the tip!
Good Video yet again Trev...Where do you get the bags that you had your home made stew in please.......
Thanks, Robert - I got a load from amazon - heres a link to some, these seem small but you may be able to find others from here ( amzn.to/2YlwV5m )
@@SummitOrNothing Many Thanks Trev...
do you ever get freaked out alone on the moors
beautiful location.
Not this time around - it was so calm and peaceful it was just relaxing. Thanks for watching!
How did I not know about Nomad? Off to audiable after this, cheers :)
Its incredible. I listened to it all on this day and the journey home the next. Then listened to it again at work in the week.
@@SummitOrNothing I listened to about 10 minutes before falling asleep last night, love a bit of partridge, will have to listen to it on a long drive to truly appreciate it!
I’ve just noticed on an Outdoor gear UK based website a hand warmer which runs on lighter fuel, for only £3.50.
Funnily enough my grandma gave me one of these, probably 50 years ago. My father bought me some lighter fuel and if my memory isn’t failing me, it worked pretty well.
It seems Zippo are now the popular brand of these products, but other similar ones exist.
Have you ever tried them ?
Hi Trev. Sorry to hear about Nath. Hopefully on the way to recovery soon. Regarding the pitching of the Lanshan. When you peg out the apex guy ropes, there is a knotted loop someway down the guy rope. Peg that bit out. There then should be a double black plastic twin hook. This attaches to the wedding loops on each door. Effectively giving you two guy topes, both are adjustable. This means that you can open either door just by dropping one of the plastic hooks off of the webbing loop. It also means that you have enough pegs. Everything remains tight and taught. Hope it helps. This video shows the sort of thing at 1:08 ua-cam.com/video/03vkK-ujWzY/v-deo.html
Yea hopefully he will get through it as soon as possible. I must say that I have been pointed to numerous videos since my first run through video last week, so I am hoping to get back out as soon as possible to have another go and putting it up... properly.
partridge!! alpha papa
😂😂😂😂
I've used a Jetboil for years but recently changed to a Jetboil Minimo, it has a wider pot, it's so much more practical. Where do you get your food bags from? Keep up the good work.
Yea the zip is quite a minimal sized pot. I'm still umming and seeing as to what to cook on next. There's links to the food bags in the videos description. They're proper handy.
@@SummitOrNothing Thanks Trev.
It was cold, a sloping pitch and you spilt some water. But I bet when you saw that morning on Dartmoor with the mist and sun you thought it was worth it.
Oh Yea, Paul. It was well worth it. Absolutely stunning. Thanks for watching!
lovely trip mate, lol , yer, always best to pitch tent first and read inscructions :P...maybe look into a diff pot/stove set up so you try cooking diff meals, i got bored of those boil in the bag fast, and dehydrated pouches aint much better, one of my main things is to sort the perfect stove/food combo..i will crack it!!..look forward to yr next adventure..if ya want some company sometime..giv us a shout if like...ATB WJ
Have you tried the Summit To Eat dehydrated meals, Jay? I can highly recommend them. Found me ages to find a half decent dehydrated meal.
@@assacoon yer..tried a couple..the egg and cheese i didnt like at all, the other one was ok-ish..curry one..i find they're expensive to try out..as most a £6-8 a lot of money if you dont like one
@@WanderingJay I agree with you on the egg and cheese. The texture was like rubber !
The pasta Bolognese is very very good. I hear what you're saying with the price.
Hi Jay - I am intending to get away from the Jet boil, and looking into possibly trying the Trangia out for a spell, so watch this space.I am getting fed up with premade foods, and after having homemade chili and stew out on the trail (both of which taste better after they have been frozen for a few weeks) I don't fancy going back. I will give you a shout some time for sure, it'd be good to catch up. all the best, mate!
Great solo camp Trev. That tent looks good. Yeah and when you spill something in a tent it goes everywhere don't worry your not the only one lol.😂😂 take care mate cheers Karl
Cheers, Karl. It was f***ing nightmare lol. Take care, bud!
Trev, sorry to say, I'm going to be pretty critical of your camp gear. You need a longer spoon. There, I said it. I'm not sorry.
Nice cinematography and editing.
Again, I was only going to watch the first part of the video and save the rest for later, but once again I watched the whole thing.
Hahaha! Yeah, I think you're right. I couldn't locate my own spoon so ended up using an old spoon of my daughters, which even she's grown out of haha! Glad to hear that you are enjoying these videos in their full length. I have been busy putting together some additional content for you, George, to get your SoN fix in between our adventures, so watch this space. Thanks again!
Ha Ha yes I was going to say the same thing! lol I have a few different sporks and such like, but believe it or not, the best spoon I have is the one you get in a Issue 24hr ration pack, well long!
@@budman200210 My wife tossed out my last MRE spoon, so sad.
I was forced into buying a titanium spoon for way to much money. I haven't been camping or on a day trip since.
@@SummitOrNothing Trev, I'm mostly just teasing. I just want you to do well and have fun. I have fun watching. I like watching you and Nath grow as outdoorsman and youtubers. Sometimes my comments are outrageous for the sake of being humorous.
Sometimes I just comment for the sake of commenting. Don't change the way you do stuff just for me.
But I sure do like the idea of more Summit or Nothing.
@@georgedpost Haha... George you're a proper gent. I am always trying to keep things moving and regular (Drs orders lol) and appreciate each and every comment and piece of feedback we receive. I always laugh at your retorts and wittisisms and I would miss them if you didn't put them. Once again, thanks for sticking with us.
Get well soon Nath. Kidney stones are in the same area of medical evil as hernias!
Here's hoping he makes a speedy recovery, thanks Andrew!
Bring something new please
Getting samey? Feels that way when making them sometimes, too. What would you like to see?
Summit Or Nothing I liked to watch the coast path walking. But I suppose it’s to cold for that at the moment. Looking forward to see you completing West Cornwall.
I am hoping to get back to the coast path soon, every time I have planned to get out recently I have been hit by torrential rain and gale force winds. Lots left to do though, this year, so thanks for your patience.
@@SummitOrNothing 👍👍👍
