Well if you have been watching my channel in the last year or so you would have seen that I have been starting to spend more on certain products. I did see your comments on Paul's video, thought that they didn't warrant replying to at the time, but seeing though you're here I had just as well fight my corner. The people at RAB had obviously chosen me to join them for some reason so why wouldn't I want to go? They say that they selected us several youtubers from hundreds, so so was great to have been recognised. Maybe its my use of numerous lowe alpine bags, or maybe it was my lack of RAB gear, who knows? Regardless, it sounded like a great opportunity to not just see the factory, test the gear, but the whole event, getting to meet other UA-camrs, meeting Andy Cave, camping and exploring the Peak District. Yes I have always said that you don't need expensive gear to camp and enjoy it, which you don't. There are many out there who will hesitate before spending £300 on a jacket, or £1000 on a tent, those who like myself can't often afford it where life's priorities are concerned but I have never said that you shouldn't, nor do I resent anyone who does, so its not really double standards as you said, some of us just can't always warrant that spend on every product. I have done 5 years on cheaper gear, but am starting to notice certain areas where its proving beneficial to just spend big to start with. But to answer your question - the 'budget' OEX down sleeping bag that I bought previously is now so close in price to the likes of RAB (even at its discounted price) that if I was purchasing at present, I would most likely just spend that little bit extra for RAB just for peace of mind. I also recently purchased a RAB bivvy bag to join the World Record Attempt, unfortunately I didn't get to use at the time, but am looking forward to using soon.
@@SummitOrNothing thanks for replying as I said on Paul's channel it's not just you who seems to try spreading the message of cheap wild camping but then the majority of time they use gear that's more expensive.and yes I had noticed your gear had gotten more top end as with the thermarest.also yes I agree camping can be cheap so if your looking to go down that way of camping channels that do those reviews are great.but what I do take offense to is people saying oh this is great when they are clearly saying it for kickbacks or hoping for future gear when 1 they would never spend that money on it or 2 they never use the gear.so yes I do apologize for singling you out as it not just you.and I have watched quite a few of your vids and enjoyed the majority.
It's not cheap or budget, but it's incredible value when found on sale at reduced prices. I picked up a Kenetic jacket half price and it will last me for years
Spreading a message saying you don't need to spend loads to go camping is great and you don't need too. These UA-camrs are out most weekends and need gear to last, it's not just once or twice they are out. You can only go on adventures to the quality of your gear and unfortunately if you want gear for extreme conditions with long hikes sometimes the cheaper gear just won't be enough.
To answer your question About Rab picking you… they picked you because you have made an unbeatable video mate! Absolutely spot on! It was ace meeting you and sure we will meet again for camp sometime 👍👍👍
Haha... they didn't know how it would turn out till now 🤣 Was a good old shin dig, and good to meet you, Al. Defo have to meet up again, gutted I didn't get to meet blue! Peace out!
I thought the same. You did a great job with the vid - good mix of history and covered the event well! Been watching a lot of you outdoor you tubers for ages and it was quite surreal seeing you all in the same place!
Loved this video Trev. I’m gonna stick my neck out we won’t see a better version of the 24 hours with Rab. Great explanation of the factory process, the sustainability element and mixed up with stunning views, what the day meant to you ….oh and brilliantly narrated. It was a pleasure to meet you (and to be an extra in your film 😉). If you’re coming this way then please shout up as I’d love to gatecrash your trip. Best wishes. Mez.
Dont tease, mate. Its a ramshackle of a video and you know it 🤣🤣 Paul, if you would have my company I'm well up for that! And hope to show you some of Dartmoor too. All the best, mate!
Oh bloody well done Trev lad, me and the grand lads loved the vid. Most relatable bloke there for us. We’d be next to ya with our budget gear all the way just happy to get out and enjoy the country. Rab do some luvly gear but I’d have to cut off me right bollox to buy any! Great vid!
They picked you because you are exactly who they need to promote their goods. Someone who is down to earth and keeps it real! They’ve picked all the people that are genuine and produce quality viewing. The fact that we got an interesting history lesson as a bonus will absolutely guarantee your next invite too. 😃. You are in my top 5 and i watch soo many!! So keep up the good work.. great video x
Well Trev I’m subscribed to yourself and a few of those you’re alongside, you all have an audience, you’re videos are as enjoyable as anyones . You’re way of doing it is your way ! Embrace it🇮🇪👌
Great video as usual Trev. Good to see you and the other UA-camrs. Really glad Rab chose you as we can’t all afford or want to spend loads on a hobby we do three/four times a year. Also love the fact you are still learning as you go and don’t make out you know it all. Keep up the good work and don’t change the style and content of your blogs.
You're so genuinely un-unassuming Trev!! Why would Rab pick me? Maybe because your channel is ace mate! Maybe Rab already knew you had no Rab gear but deserved some 👍🏼. 7 of my fav wild camping YTs got invited 🤔. All cracking nice folk and ýou camped next to Robin who's an awesome lad with an awesome channel. Your version of the event highlighted the forward inovations and recycling, brilliant👍🏼
They picked you ... the financially challenged (me) appreciate everything you do... you don't need a big budget to get out there. .. you have showed us that.... 👍👍
Trev. Love your realistic honest trip to Rab. Looked great fun. I follow five of you all that went. Great people. But I followed you first. Keep up the style trev.
Your video is deffinitely the best Trev! You show your gratitude and pleasure of being given Rab products for free and how much more they provided for you all, to make it a day to remember! I think we all love Rab clothing and their Lowe Alpine backpacks. Well done. I can't think of a more humble UA-camr than you. You take nothing for granted. 😊
Well i dont know if it's the best, but I hope it's the most Trev version 🤣🤣 was a good old shindig anyway, and got spoilt to boot. thanks for watching!
Some familiar faces their trev, glad you all had a great time, just bought the same sleeping bag from go outdoors, looks and feels a quality bag so will test it next week in the peaks
Well done Trev. See your more famous than you thought ! I alway's love your vlogs and humour . I follow 3 of the gang there, so thanks for mentioning the others too. Look after yourself. Bye for now.
Lucky group of people to be able to enjoy a day like that. Great bunch of people with food and free Rab goodies and a camp out. 👍 I did recognize a couple of people Al the bushman without Blue. Looked like fun be safe out there
All Rabbed up, like it. 😁 Excellent video Trev, I really enjoyed that, you captured the essence really well. I think it's mad camcorders are ignored for vlogging, let's buy glitchy action cams and heavy cameras that are for photos instead. 🤣
I do usually have a much better camcorder, Robin, but still in between after it died in me in January 😭 Was a really good old knees up, bud, and good to meet you guys. Will definitely be up for a collaboration or two! Cheers!
Loved the video Trev. So interesting to see all the ins and outs of Rab, recycling, repairing etc. I do have some Rab gear including a sleeping bag and love it but it is not the cheapest. I am hoping you returned your expensive jacket on your way home especially as you were given a jacket at the event. I would have felt a little peeved too to have spent lots of money unnecessarily. I am sure you could get it refunded. Really pleased to see you get a great day and night out - and some freebies thrown in. You definitely deserve it :-) Great UA-camr and so appreciative of the Rab experience. :-)
I've watched a few of the other guy's who did similar vids but I have to say yours made me laugh more and was a bit more detailed on the environmental perspective of the products. Top work mate 👍
The budget pack packer needs guidance also Trev and thats part why I watch your content. Your a decent bloke sir, we all have kit envy but it being outside isn't about fancy gear. It's about quality made gear no matter the label. If its fit for purpose it's in. Keep up the content Trev.
Cheers Beat paws, and yea, I'll not become a complete top end snob. I'm still weary of forking out for gear so sure that will always be reflected in the videos.
Brilliant Trevor, loved this. Paul, Robin, David plenty of good creators there. Bet youse all had a cracking trip and got some good content out of all of it. You will always stand out tho, so down to earth 🤣.
To be honest, most of these guys were down to earth, had a really great time meeting them, and having the opportunity to have a few drinks with them too. A good laugh, and a great 24 hours!
hi trev well iv'e got to say you've done a cracking job of that mate ..well filmed ,narrated & showed off the 24 hrs perfectly..it was great to meet you & we had a good crack..if your'e ever thinking of heading over to the peaks give me a shout & i'm sure myself & paul can arrange a meet up.it'd be great to have you up here mate & who knows you could see us down dartmoor too..tfs Andy.
Well done Trev, up until this vid (I don’t know why!), RAB hadn’t really been on my radar… however as of right now, my Birthday/Christmas wish list has just gained a new name on it! 🥳 Caroline and I are spending from 28th to 31st March, with Crag 2 Mountain on a navigation course, based out of Princetown, Dartmoor! 😎 Looking forward to visiting your favourite Tors 😍
Nice vid,Trev. Good music and editing. How was the sleeping bag? Did the free bar make it any warmer? Don’t put yourself down,you’re one of the most entertaining guys on here. Keep making these films,they are really inspirational. All the best
Haha... it possibly did. Certainly made me pass out sooner lol. The sleeping bag was fine so far, will have a closer look un the coming weeks. Cheers for watching!
Great vlog Trev 👍 Can’t beat a Cloud Peak 2 ⛺️ You’ve got the watchability factor every UA-camr wishes for. Me and my mates love watching your vids, keep it up 😁
Great see all my favourite UA-cam people together and a great company RAB working with you. I actually don't own a single RAB item at the moment mainly because most of my stuff is from similar companies but that's not to say I wouldn't invest in their product as when I replace stuff.
Rab chose you because you're a great communicator Trev; down-to-earth, no nonsense and funny without any pretence. Learnt a from your film (what tech you have or don't have to make your videos matters not to me) and wished I could do a 'supermarket sweep' in that Rab factory shop!
Dream come true watching all my favourite people in one video. Bushman blue spot on mate . 👊 Would love to see more of you guys meeting up and doing a few videos together
Love seeing how you've progressed mate from not knowing too much to getting personal invites and free gear from Rab. p.s Don't worry about what other UA-camrs are doing or saying in their videos just stay yourself mate that's what I've enjoyed seeing as a viewer and I believe has given you and will continue to give you success. 👊
Nice vid. Rab has always been one of my go to products. There's actually not many things you buy and the product turns out to be even better than you expected. They've been doing lots of promotions recently picking people from all parts of the country even the motorhome campervan channels have all got rab coats on at the moment. Lol Anyway looking forward to the Dartmoor summer camping vids and might even bump into you up there one day. Atb. 😂😂😂😂
Great video Trev. Not heard of Arab before being a fairly new wild camper. To be honest, they look more insulated than my quilt at home. I might have to pick one up just for home use 😜
Absolute spot on vid as usual Trev. Mate, don't underestimate yourself dude, I for one (I'm sure that I speak for everyone), await your vids with excitement, as they're varied, but always enjoyable and entertaining. Don't ever stop, as a lot of people would be disappointed mate 💯. Keep doing what you're doing buddy, until the next one. Rich and Annuschka.
I think your kit is more 'real world' for those of us on a budget. I also have a Naturehike Cloud Peak 2, it's my only lightweight tent and a UL80 sleeping mat.
They picked you Trev because you’re Trev from Summit or Nothin and we all watch you for the brilliant you 👍🏻 Great video and amazing experience tinder that.
Nice one Trev. I've watched a couple of the RAB tour vids and you all bring your own game to the process - really enjoyed watching yours as well as the others. Keep up the good work buddy :)
Cheers mate. Yea, I contemplated doing something a little different with mine, I have a RAB bivvy to test which I actually purchased for the bivvy World record back in Feb, but never got out foe it. I was gonna do a video with that and was gonna put this footage in with it, but not sure when I was gonna make it out. So, here it is, my version of the same event 🤣
Great to see that event getting “ Trev’d “. I’ve watched a couple and the camp site set up always brings a laugh. It reminds me of the “ Alan Whicker Island “ sketch from Monty Python with everyone talking into their cameras
Thank you for showing us your tour. I'm a bit of a long time lurker! I always find factory tours interesting regardless of what it is, probably because I'm nosey. I've just started a channel a few months back and trying to film and talk about myself or what I'm doing is so massively awkward, I'm not the most confident person so tend to make really bad jokes or take the mickey out myself. So totally understand about not knowing what to say. I really like your channel though as I feel it's honest and you're very much yourself. No airs or graces. Thank you.
Thank ypu for watching. Yes, it can take a little while to get used to talking to the cameras, it does get easier though. At first just imagine your talking to friends and before long you find that you are talking to friends 😁. A lot of competition at the moment, but I have found that Tube Buddy was a great help in finding great titles to use and seeing how they rank in search engines etc (I think there may be a link in this video description). Apart from that, just starting to create is the biggest leap. Good luck!
@@SummitOrNothing thank you for the advice. That's something I never really thought about tbh, I just thought things progressed naturally 😅 There are some amazing channels, and they've all been really helpful too. I've watched a good few of yours especially on reviews. I've been mountain biking for years but only got into hiking when I lived in Finland for a wee while (as it was to cold to bike) and then not being your average looking outdoors person (you know, athletic type 🤣) is also another daunting thing. Thank you 😊🙏
@@northernchubbygurladventur7539 Well it sounds like you may have the same appeal to viewers as I do. Not rhe athletic type either, but then neither are so many of the viewers. It's good for them to have authentic people to show how accessible these various activities are at all levels. The views do grow naturally to be honest, but I did find they went up quicker and found their target easier with an app like Tube Buddy. You can see how much competition retain titles have too among other things. Certainly helped us out
@@SummitOrNothing sorry for the late reply, moving house sucks!! Thank you for the advice and I'll try and not be a lurker so much! ☺️ Hope you have a great weekend
The various reports on this Rab gig are all pretty different. Your take on it is nearest to the way I think I'd feel if I'd been invited - surprised, delighted and a touch wondering why me? A good mix Information, chat,and humour. Well done.
Nice video Trev. Great to watch and thoroughly enjoyed it. Shame you missed your opportunity in the Rab shop and discounted prices 😀! I managed to get out last weekend and did a nice loop of the high tors, starting at Rowtor, then West Mills, Yes, High Willhays, Dinger, Lints, East Mill, Knattaborough, Oke, Winter, Hart, Belstone and Scarey tors! It was a beautiful clear day and the views were glorious; but it was good to get back to the car afterwards! Cheers Pete
Hi Pete. That sounds a cracking stomp, I did similar this week on my day off, but left the camcorder at home for once. Made a refreshing change. Thanks for watching!
@@SummitOrNothing I traded the Peak District for Dartmoor, but I do need to find time to go back and stomp around those moors again. Give Castleton and around that area a look next time, you won't regret visiting, nice mix of peaks and caverns.
Hi there, thanks for going 'up country' to do this really interesting video. It looked quite strange seeing so many familiar faces in one place, all filming at once. You were selected on merit, mate. ATB Simon
Hi Trev, myself and my son bumped into you today as you were going into Belstone village we were just starting a day hike. I was only saying wouldn't it be funny if we bumped into Trev today and not a couple of minutes later there you were! We are novices to Dartmoor and I wished we had a bit longer to chat. I would have said that you (and Nath) have inspired us to get out there and explore Dartmoor and that we both subscribe and enjoy your content. Hope you enjoyed your lunch mate. Cheers.
Hi Ron! Yea it was great to meet you both. I hope that you guys enjoyed the moor. It is a great location, but very daunting when you first get up there... and just wait till the mist comes in! Hope you manage to get back there soon and take more in. Had a great lunch cheers! Very tasty.
It was lovely to meet you Trev, you seem a really genuine and down to earth guy. As lovers of Dartmoor we look forward to more of your escapades on the Moors. Atb Megs & Ben.
You are the only man I'd share a tent with there Trev.. ha ha... I reckon you are the one that drinks the most and swears the most all plus points to a camp.
You underestimate yourself! Your videos are excellent, informative, interesting and a great mix of different walks/hikes/wild camps! We appreciate the effort you put in to them! 😊
Simple, because you're one of the best channels on the subject out there, love all of your videos, so down to earth and chilled, the perfect mix of reviews, trail info, camping tips and general fun , keep up the great work Trev.
They picked you because you are a genuine straight up legend mate, simple answer! I only really watch you and Nath, then Bushman and Blue, hes a fellow Yorkie and his dog is awesome!
Brilliant 👏 I really enjoyed your take on the Rab weekend. Very entertaining Trev. Just a pity about your full price purchase on your way up..hopefully it didn't put a dampener on your whole experience. Katie
This was awesome! I follow a number of you on UA-cam love wild camping & hope to get YouTubing shortly myself once I’ve got sorted with filming equipment lol
@@SummitOrNothing well I’m slowly getting there! Been up to haystacks this weekend & it was awesome! Took some cool shots & video, just need a decent laptop for editing & I’ll be on my way…. Also go pro…. & a drone 😂
You do underestimate yourself. And I think it talks volumes of the quality of the content, you don't need all the latest camera gear if you're engaging. Agree the Rab warehouse has some incredible deals, Luckily I don't live far to it.
Trev you are a legend . And rab know it . That's why you were picked mate. I've watched you for ages and purchased goods thanks to your advice. Your humour and approach is one of the best on UA-cam. I felt bad for you that you felt you had to buy a jacket to fit in. Your a leader in this field and no fancy gear needed to change that. I bet Nath is gutted he wasn't there and has he got dibs on half a sleeping bag 😄 Excellent video and would be great to see you do a few collabs with others in the peak District. Get u Sen up mam tor bud and scream SUMMIT OR NOTHING!!😄😄
Inspired choice by Rab, the every day working mans hiking and camping channel. Absolute marketing genius when you think about it. I wonder if Onetigirs will do something similar? 😂😂😂
Also Trev, if you're thinking of the Peak District, doing the first leg of the Pennine Way from Edale to Crowden (or Crowden to Edale) would be good, plenty of places to camp, either camp sites at Crowden/Edale, or just wild camp on Bleaklow or Kinder Scout, plenty of bog off the path so you'll feel right at home!
Really good video Trev, had no idea about Rab Rental. Fancy going out of your way to purchase a new jacket on the way up only to be given a free one once you arrived, how typical 🙈
Trev, youre so Common mate. (lol). Less is more and you captured that in this vid and in your other great vids . Summit or Nuthin ! Cheers from British Columbia Canada
Trev, you were one of the first UA-camrs I started watching when I first wild camped on Dartmoor. You didn’t have that many followers to be honest. I’m not saying that the other guys there with you don’t have a great appeal, they do and I watch their videos too but you appeal to the average bloke who is just out to have a wander and a bit of a camp. The average man might not have the fanciest gear but they want to experience being outdoors as much as someone fully kitted out in Mountain Equipment or Rab. Thanks for making great videos to watch 👍
Why did Rab pick me?, We know why and that’s why we love you!, You don’t know why and that’s why we love you even more 👌👍 what an amazing experience! , great video Trev 👍
Rab selected people who they knew would not criticise their products. Give them good reviews. I would not call that a factory, more like a distribution centre. All rab clothing I have is made in the far East Asia. My rab shadow hoodie from about 8 years ago is my most used piece of clothing.
Well if they'd seen some of my other reviews they must have been pretty confident that their gear was worth giving a good review... my one tigris tent review springs to mind 🤣
I thought it was you when I watched Robin's video a couple of nights back lol. I like that they fill the sleeping bags in the UK but shame they are not made here as well and I was really disappointed to find my RAB softshell (its the only product I can afford) was actually made in China☹. The shop looked great mind and if I had a lottery win, I would have spent a fortune there as (to be fair) I do like they gear, despite the price. Goody bag was canny mind and a nice spot of lunch before you headed up to 'Influences R Us' lol. Loved the down jacket and I always love a jacket that has zip chest pockets, very fetching and to be honest, a real nice colour too. The sleeping bag looked toasty but maybe should have bought a hat on the way up, as opposed to a jacket...... nice walk out and brilliant to have Andy Cave with you, I bet he had some stores to tell. Good that you met Robin, who is also a real canny lad but shame about the 04.30 call when all you got was mist, either way, a real good trip and a real good watch, cheers Alan
I bought a hat and a jacket on the way up, Alan! HAhah! I had been needing a new waterproof jacket for a while so grabbed a RAB at Go Outdoors - not too bad a price to be honest! Was a great trip, mate, and good to meet some of the other guys. Cheers for watching!
First off very informative vid for that well done.but now honestly would you have bought the Rab gear that you were given as it's not cheap or budget.

Cheers very much. Was good meeting the rest of the UA-cam elite. We're all really down to earth. A good giggle.
It’s never about the tech. It’s about the person. You make UA-cam fun.
Cheers Dean.
Lucky group of people to be able to enjoy a day like that. Great bunch of people with food and free Rab goodies and a camp out. 👍 I did recognize a couple of people Al the bushman without Blue. Looked like fun be safe out there
Hi Norman. Yea we were lucky to get invited along, made my day especially as not having the best start to 2022 so far. Cheers for watching!
They picked you because you're a legend
couldn't agree more. And a thoroughly nice bloke from what I've seen. Well done SoN
Hmmmm. Get called worst at home 🤣🤣
@@tonyanddeb1012 You're too kind
A Dartmoor legend👍
All Rabbed up, like it. 😁
Excellent video Trev, I really enjoyed that, you captured the essence really well. I think it's mad camcorders are ignored for vlogging, let's buy glitchy action cams and heavy cameras that are for photos instead. 🤣
I do usually have a much better camcorder, Robin, but still in between after it died in me in January 😭 Was a really good old knees up, bud, and good to meet you guys. Will definitely be up for a collaboration or two! Cheers!
@@SummitOrNothing I thought the footage was sweet as a nut and nicely narrated too. 😊 Nice one, that would be good. 🏕👌🏼
God love to you Trev the coat probably cost more than you tent. Never mind glad you got the opportunity you definitely deserve it.
Loved the video Trev. So interesting to see all the ins and outs of Rab, recycling, repairing etc. I do have some Rab gear including a sleeping bag and love it but it is not the cheapest. I am hoping you returned your expensive jacket on your way home especially as you were given a jacket at the event. I would have felt a little peeved too to have spent lots of money unnecessarily. I am sure you could get it refunded. Really pleased to see you get a great day and night out - and some freebies thrown in. You definitely deserve it :-) Great UA-camr and so appreciative of the Rab experience. :-)
I've kept the jacket I got on the way up, was a waterproof coat which I've been after anyway so no biggy! Thanks for qatching, Penny!
I've watched a few of the other guy's who did similar vids but I have to say yours made me laugh more and was a bit more detailed on the environmental perspective of the products. Top work mate 👍
Cheers Pete. Really glad that you enjoyed it! Cheers!
Nice to see you in my neck of the woods, I always like a visit up to the Rab shop as only 10 miles from me. Especially the winter Sale
The budget pack packer needs guidance also Trev and thats part why I watch your content. Your a decent bloke sir, we all have kit envy but it being outside isn't about fancy gear. It's about quality made gear no matter the label. If its fit for purpose it's in. Keep up the content Trev.
Cheers Beat paws, and yea, I'll not become a complete top end snob. I'm still weary of forking out for gear so sure that will always be reflected in the videos.
Brilliant Trevor, loved this. Paul, Robin, David plenty of good creators there. Bet youse all had a cracking trip and got some good content out of all of it. You will always stand out tho, so down to earth 🤣.
To be honest, most of these guys were down to earth, had a really great time meeting them, and having the opportunity to have a few drinks with them too. A good laugh, and a great 24 hours!
Trev. Your's is my favourite of all the 'Rab' videos so far. They picked you because you are real. Never change mate.
Thanks Anthony. Much appreciated
In the words of Ian Dury "Clever Trevor" Excellent video as ever Trevor 🙂👍
Hahha... heers Fred!
hi trev well iv'e got to say you've done a cracking job of that mate ..well filmed ,narrated & showed off the 24 hrs perfectly..it was great to meet you & we had a good crack..if your'e ever thinking of heading over to the peaks give me a shout & i'm sure myself & paul can arrange a meet up.it'd be great to have you up here mate & who knows you could see us down dartmoor too..tfs Andy.
Well done Trev, up until this vid (I don’t know why!), RAB hadn’t really been on my radar… however as of right now, my Birthday/Christmas wish list has just gained a new name on it! 🥳
Caroline and I are spending from 28th to 31st March, with Crag 2 Mountain on a navigation course, based out of Princetown, Dartmoor! 😎
Looking forward to visiting your favourite Tors 😍
Ah, brilliant. I have done a bit of a course with Crag to Mountain too. Really great pair, keep meaning to go back for the next level. Enjoy!
@@SummitOrNothing I’ll see if they can find a spot for you on their next Nav’ course! 🥾
Nice vid,Trev.
Good music and editing.
How was the sleeping bag?
Did the free bar make it any warmer?
Don’t put yourself down,you’re one of the most entertaining guys on here. Keep making these films,they are really inspirational.
All the best
Haha... it possibly did. Certainly made me pass out sooner lol. The sleeping bag was fine so far, will have a closer look un the coming weeks. Cheers for watching!
Great vlog Trev 👍 Can’t beat a Cloud Peak 2 ⛺️ You’ve got the watchability factor every UA-camr wishes for. Me and my mates love watching your vids, keep it up 😁
Great see all my favourite UA-cam people together and a great company RAB working with you. I actually don't own a single RAB item at the moment mainly because most of my stuff is from similar companies but that's not to say I wouldn't invest in their product as when I replace stuff.
Rab chose you because you're a great communicator Trev; down-to-earth, no nonsense and funny without any pretence. Learnt a from your film (what tech you have or don't have to make your videos matters not to me) and wished I could do a 'supermarket sweep' in that Rab factory shop!
Haha... yes, I did think the same as you. Could have just shovelled rab items into a trolly all day lol. Thanks for watching
Great video Trev. Looking forward to seeing you out in our beautiful Peak District!
I can see exactly why Rab picked you, this is a great edit, showed everything brilliantly 👍👍
Dream come true watching all my favourite people in one video. Bushman blue spot on mate . 👊
Would love to see more of you guys meeting up and doing a few videos together
Love seeing how you've progressed mate from not knowing too much to getting personal invites and free gear from Rab.
p.s Don't worry about what other UA-camrs are doing or saying in their videos just stay yourself mate that's what I've enjoyed seeing as a viewer and I believe has given you and will continue to give you success. 👊
That's cool! I have got a lot of new rab clothing for this years backpacking season so I would love to see Factory store like that one.
Yea, was a good variety in there. Well worth a look.
Trev, you are in the big time now!!!
Budget Trev delivering the goods with a handy cam!
You are like a kid on Christmas morning absolutely brilliant hope loo roll came in handy 😂
🤣🤣 I'm worst than the kids at Christmas haha
Nice vid. Rab has always been one of my go to products.
There's actually not many things you buy and the product turns out to be even better than you expected.
They've been doing lots of promotions recently picking people from all parts of the country even the motorhome campervan channels have all got rab coats on at the moment. Lol
Anyway looking forward to the Dartmoor summer camping vids and might even bump into you up there one day. Atb. 😂😂😂😂
Great video Trev. Not heard of Arab before being a fairly new wild camper. To be honest, they look more insulated than my quilt at home. I might have to pick one up just for home use 😜
Because your content is class mate! That's why you were invited
Absolute spot on vid as usual Trev. Mate, don't underestimate yourself dude, I for one (I'm sure that I speak for everyone), await your vids with excitement, as they're varied, but always enjoyable and entertaining. Don't ever stop, as a lot of people would be disappointed mate 💯. Keep doing what you're doing buddy, until the next one. Rich and Annuschka.
I think your kit is more 'real world' for those of us on a budget. I also have a Naturehike Cloud Peak 2, it's my only lightweight tent and a UL80 sleeping mat.
A tour, a bag of gear, a test camp and a bit of a hike... How do your beat that. Brilliant!
Was a great dus, cheers Max. Proper spoilt!
So many cameras!! Absolutely great video, loved the process of how they make it
They picked you Trev because you’re Trev from Summit or Nothin and we all watch you for the brilliant you 👍🏻 Great video and amazing experience tinder that.
Nice one Trev. I've watched a couple of the RAB tour vids and you all bring your own game to the process - really enjoyed watching yours as well as the others. Keep up the good work buddy :)
Cheers mate. Yea, I contemplated doing something a little different with mine, I have a RAB bivvy to test which I actually purchased for the bivvy World record back in Feb, but never got out foe it. I was gonna do a video with that and was gonna put this footage in with it, but not sure when I was gonna make it out. So, here it is, my version of the same event 🤣
@@SummitOrNothing you brought you own style to it and as ever it was very entertaining. Big fan of the cloud peak 2 as well 🙂👍
Great to see that event getting “ Trev’d “. I’ve watched a couple and the camp site set up always brings a laugh. It reminds me of the “ Alan Whicker Island “ sketch from Monty Python with everyone talking into their cameras
Thank you for showing us your tour. I'm a bit of a long time lurker! I always find factory tours interesting regardless of what it is, probably because I'm nosey. I've just started a channel a few months back and trying to film and talk about myself or what I'm doing is so massively awkward, I'm not the most confident person so tend to make really bad jokes or take the mickey out myself. So totally understand about not knowing what to say. I really like your channel though as I feel it's honest and you're very much yourself. No airs or graces. Thank you.
Thank ypu for watching. Yes, it can take a little while to get used to talking to the cameras, it does get easier though. At first just imagine your talking to friends and before long you find that you are talking to friends 😁. A lot of competition at the moment, but I have found that Tube Buddy was a great help in finding great titles to use and seeing how they rank in search engines etc (I think there may be a link in this video description). Apart from that, just starting to create is the biggest leap. Good luck!
@@SummitOrNothing thank you for the advice. That's something I never really thought about tbh, I just thought things progressed naturally 😅
There are some amazing channels, and they've all been really helpful too. I've watched a good few of yours especially on reviews. I've been mountain biking for years but only got into hiking when I lived in Finland for a wee while (as it was to cold to bike) and then not being your average looking outdoors person (you know, athletic type 🤣) is also another daunting thing.
Thank you 😊🙏
@@northernchubbygurladventur7539 Well it sounds like you may have the same appeal to viewers as I do. Not rhe athletic type either, but then neither are so many of the viewers. It's good for them to have authentic people to show how accessible these various activities are at all levels. The views do grow naturally to be honest, but I did find they went up quicker and found their target easier with an app like Tube Buddy. You can see how much competition retain titles have too among other things. Certainly helped us out
@@SummitOrNothing sorry for the late reply, moving house sucks!! Thank you for the advice and I'll try and not be a lurker so much! ☺️ Hope you have a great weekend
The various reports on this Rab gig are all pretty different. Your take on it is nearest to the way I think I'd feel if I'd been invited - surprised, delighted and a touch wondering why me? A good mix Information, chat,and humour. Well done.
They might have all the kit camera wise but you’re still the best UA-camr Trevor
Hi Trev, I think they picked you because you (and Nath) have a unique crazy way of showing that the outdoors is fun 🙂
Best video out of the ones I’ve seen so far on the days at RAB , Well done 👏
Cheers Paul! You're too kind
every youtubers is different. thats why i watch you, paul m and others like pat, andy kent survival, daley outdoor etc.
Nice video Trev. Great to watch and thoroughly enjoyed it. Shame you missed your opportunity in the Rab shop and discounted prices 😀! I managed to get out last weekend and did a nice loop of the high tors, starting at Rowtor, then West Mills, Yes, High Willhays, Dinger, Lints, East Mill, Knattaborough, Oke, Winter, Hart, Belstone and Scarey tors! It was a beautiful clear day and the views were glorious; but it was good to get back to the car afterwards! Cheers Pete
Hi Pete. That sounds a cracking stomp, I did similar this week on my day off, but left the camcorder at home for once. Made a refreshing change. Thanks for watching!
Nice to see you get up to the Peak District, always good to spot locations I know and grew up around
It was nice to be up there - definitely going back this year!
@@SummitOrNothing I traded the Peak District for Dartmoor, but I do need to find time to go back and stomp around those moors again.
Give Castleton and around that area a look next time, you won't regret visiting, nice mix of peaks and caverns.
Lush vid Trev! Nice to see you all in one place and great to see you there! You’re UA-cam famous now?! #influencer
Haha... cheers Thom. Was a good crack.
Hi there, thanks for going 'up country' to do this really interesting video. It looked quite strange seeing so many familiar faces in one place, all filming at once. You were selected on merit, mate. ATB Simon
Hi Trev, myself and my son bumped into you today as you were going into Belstone village we were just starting a day hike. I was only saying wouldn't it be funny if we bumped into Trev today and not a couple of minutes later there you were! We are novices to Dartmoor and I wished we had a bit longer to chat. I would have said that you (and Nath) have inspired us to get out there and explore Dartmoor and that we both subscribe and enjoy your content. Hope you enjoyed your lunch mate. Cheers.
Hi Ron! Yea it was great to meet you both. I hope that you guys enjoyed the moor. It is a great location, but very daunting when you first get up there... and just wait till the mist comes in! Hope you manage to get back there soon and take more in. Had a great lunch cheers! Very tasty.
It was lovely to meet you Trev, you seem a really genuine and down to earth guy. As lovers of Dartmoor we look forward to more of your escapades on the Moors. Atb Megs & Ben.
Was really great to meet you both too. Would be great to get to know ypu both better. Any time you venture this way give me a heads up. Cheers!
@@SummitOrNothing we will mate.
You are the only man I'd share a tent with there Trev.. ha ha... I reckon you are the one that drinks the most and swears the most all plus points to a camp.
You underestimate yourself! Your videos are excellent, informative, interesting and a great mix of different walks/hikes/wild camps! We appreciate the effort you put in to them! 😊
Thanks Jan. Really glad that you enjoy the channel.
Simple, because you're one of the best channels on the subject out there, love all of your videos, so down to earth and chilled, the perfect mix of reviews, trail info, camping tips and general fun , keep up the great work Trev.
Thanks Mark. Glad that you enjoy the channel and content. Cheers!
They picked you because you are a genuine straight up legend mate, simple answer! I only really watch you and Nath, then Bushman and Blue, hes a fellow Yorkie and his dog is awesome!
Yea, was good chatting to Al up there. Shame I didn't meet Blue though.
Arb picked u cos you're an honest, down to earth top bloke who produces great videos! Dead easy!
Obviously that says RAB
Cheers Chris!
Brilliant 👏
I really enjoyed your take on the Rab weekend. Very entertaining Trev.
Just a pity about your full price purchase on your way up..hopefully it didn't put a dampener on your whole experience. Katie
Yea, it was a shame but to be honest wasn't a bad price I paid and needed a new waterproof jacket anyway so all cool. Thanks for watching
I have a Rab down jacket and hardshell. Love them.
Great vid. You guys should all get together and do a big camping epic. 👍
Yea - it'd be good. Sure there'll be some good collabs coming up.
This was awesome! I follow a number of you on UA-cam love wild camping & hope to get YouTubing shortly myself once I’ve got sorted with filming equipment lol
It was good to meet some of of competition. Maybe one day you will be among us. Good luck.
@@SummitOrNothing well I’m slowly getting there! Been up to haystacks this weekend & it was awesome! Took some cool shots & video, just need a decent laptop for editing & I’ll be on my way…. Also go pro…. & a drone 😂
You do underestimate yourself. And I think it talks volumes of the quality of the content, you don't need all the latest camera gear if you're engaging. Agree the Rab warehouse has some incredible deals, Luckily I don't live far to it.
Trev you are a legend . And rab know it . That's why you were picked mate.
I've watched you for ages and purchased goods thanks to your advice.
Your humour and approach is one of the best on UA-cam.
I felt bad for you that you felt you had to buy a jacket to fit in. Your a leader in this field and no fancy gear needed to change that. I bet Nath is gutted he wasn't there and has he got dibs on half a sleeping bag 😄
Excellent video and would be great to see you do a few collabs with others in the peak District. Get u Sen up mam tor bud and scream SUMMIT OR NOTHING!!😄😄
There was a who's who of my fav Tubers there. If Rab chose you guys, then I must be watching the right people hahaha
Inspired choice by Rab, the every day working mans hiking and camping channel. Absolute marketing genius when you think about it. I wonder if Onetigirs will do something similar? 😂😂😂
Also Trev, if you're thinking of the Peak District, doing the first leg of the Pennine Way from Edale to Crowden (or Crowden to Edale) would be good, plenty of places to camp, either camp sites at Crowden/Edale, or just wild camp on Bleaklow or Kinder Scout, plenty of bog off the path so you'll feel right at home!
I deffitley give you my thumbs up, I like your honesty and down to earth attitude, and I even have a Hilleberg. ATB Darren
🤣🤣 thanks Darren. Maybe one day Hilleberg will invite me to their factory too.
You deserved to be picked mister. Thanks for making it real
Really good video Trev, had no idea about Rab Rental.
Fancy going out of your way to purchase a new jacket on the way up only to be given a free one once you arrived, how typical 🙈
Haha... yea I know, right? It was only a waterproof jacket, to be honest, and at a decent price too. Cheers for watching!
Hope you noticed the rab item you should have bought......the head band! 😂
Great video mate, down to earth realism and great sence of humour, love it.
Hahha... thanks for watching!
Great review.
Cheers
U were selected because u r the best of the best (of the best...with honors) like MIB ;)
Haha... cheers Rooksfoot. Much appreciated!
Lovely video, I'm well Jel. One day I might get a free spork or summit.
Extremely proud of you mate, I actually shed a tear watching this video and reading everyone's kind comments. You really are an excellent bloke.
Aww Matt! Silly sod 🤣 I do have an excellent viewer base, some amazing comments of support. Cheers bud, and thanks for watching!
5m14s 'Its the wrong bag' made me chuckle like a tickled child Trev...
🤣🤣
Is the down live plucked though?
The rocks are carved to ships at the battle of Trafalgar
Ah, thats brilliant to know. Thanks for sharing that, Ray!
Trev, youre so Common mate. (lol). Less is more and you captured that in this vid and in your other great vids . Summit or Nuthin ! Cheers from British Columbia Canada
Cheers Peter! Much appreciated!
Wow, so many faces I recognise. Really weird to see you all together. Weird but nice :) I’m saving for a RAB bag.
I don't blame tou. Good bit if kit!
Trev, you were one of the first UA-camrs I started watching when I first wild camped on Dartmoor. You didn’t have that many followers to be honest. I’m not saying that the other guys there with you don’t have a great appeal, they do and I watch their videos too but you appeal to the average bloke who is just out to have a wander and a bit of a camp. The average man might not have the fanciest gear but they want to experience being outdoors as much as someone fully kitted out in Mountain Equipment or Rab. Thanks for making great videos to watch 👍
Thanks Ben. Appreciate the comment and glad that you're still watching my videos after all these years! Cheers!
Did you have your passport with you? That's not Dartmoor.
Very good vid thanks Trev.
🤣🤣
P.S. Everybody loves it Trev ed up. You get it, so do most of us.
🤣🤣🤣
Ace vid Trev 👍
Thank you!
The little Sony Handicam that could.....
Why did Rab pick me?, We know why and that’s why we love you!, You don’t know why and that’s why we love you even more 👌👍 what an amazing experience! , great video Trev 👍
Haha... cheers Robert!
RAB picked you cause you're all us normal guys and gals. Just out having fun, a rag tag band of misfits.
I much prefer you to those other people, Trevor. Keep it up.
Haha... I was in great company, so appreciate your compliment.
Pleased for you mate. I’d be like a kid in a toy store haha.
Haha... yea,I know what you mean.
Rab selected people who they knew would not criticise their products. Give them good reviews.
I would not call that a factory, more like a distribution centre. All rab clothing I have is made in the far East Asia.
My rab shadow hoodie from about 8 years ago is my most used piece of clothing.
Well if they'd seen some of my other reviews they must have been pretty confident that their gear was worth giving a good review... my one tigris tent review springs to mind 🤣
I thought it was you when I watched Robin's video a couple of nights back lol. I like that they fill the sleeping bags in the UK but shame they are not made here as well and I was really disappointed to find my RAB softshell (its the only product I can afford) was actually made in China☹. The shop looked great mind and if I had a lottery win, I would have spent a fortune there as (to be fair) I do like they gear, despite the price. Goody bag was canny mind and a nice spot of lunch before you headed up to 'Influences R Us' lol. Loved the down jacket and I always love a jacket that has zip chest pockets, very fetching and to be honest, a real nice colour too. The sleeping bag looked toasty but maybe should have bought a hat on the way up, as opposed to a jacket...... nice walk out and brilliant to have Andy Cave with you, I bet he had some stores to tell. Good that you met Robin, who is also a real canny lad but shame about the 04.30 call when all you got was mist, either way, a real good trip and a real good watch, cheers Alan
I bought a hat and a jacket on the way up, Alan! HAhah! I had been needing a new waterproof jacket for a while so grabbed a RAB at Go Outdoors - not too bad a price to be honest! Was a great trip, mate, and good to meet some of the other guys. Cheers for watching!
