Carter Pike Wild Camp

- After being inspired by @MarkOutdoors_ latest vlog on the Scottish English border, we decided to follow in his footsteps.
Joined by my dad @overthehillwildcamper and my friend Ciaran, we parked at Carter Bar and set off on the short hike to Carter Pike where we enjoyed a nice summer wild camp.
I hope you enjoy 👍
A great camp. Lovely spot up there and not a bad view either is it. Sometimes it’s nice and especially for you to just take what’s needed and it’s easier and it gives you more time to chat with the lads etc. great footage and 3 cracking summer light weight set ups. I couldn’t pick one but I would use them all as they are all equally great. Atb Mark.
Nice one mark. That’s very kind. Yeah, a cracking view from Up there. No spectacular inversion like you had, but grateful for a dry morning. All the best mate. 👍
I can see Carter Pike from my sofa. Subbed because I am curious about Trangia Masterclass. I only take mine occasionally. Usually when I have a short walk to camp.
@@davidjackson8829 hi David. Thanks for the sub. Yeah, I can understand why you only take the Trangia on a short hike. It’s a bit of a lump to lug around isn’t it. All the best 🙏
Another great video Steve. Describing your grub as a 'posh pot noodle' made me laugh.🙂 Cheers mate.👍
Thanks Steve. Just enjoyed your tarp and bivy camp video the other night. All the best mate 🙏
It’s a cracking spot with good views Steve, camped up there in January, not a load of flat spots like, your set up looks 👌, super light, I agree with you about the trailstar, definitely makes a better winter shelter, like you said it’s the sleep system that keeps you warm, the shelter only stops the wind, atb Mick 👍
Cheers Mick. Was it very boggy in January mate?
Your current set up is top class mate 👍
@@belowaveragewildcamper it wasn’t too bad tbh mate, as it was freezing temps, was there no midges there yet?
@@otf.outdoors it was quite windy so they weren’t about. I’d imagine that they’d be there if the wind dropped. 🪰
Nice one lads 👍
Cheers Jimmy. All the best mate 🙏
Another great video, no masterclass though! Looked like a great spot for a camp though 👍
Thanks Stuart. It was a nice relaxed camp, and most importantly DRY.
All the best mate 🙏
@@belowaveragewildcamper hahaha yes finally some dry weather!
Another good video Steve .. You’re the UA-cam Trangia Jedi Master so hope there’s a masterclass on your next one mate 😋🫶
🤣 Cheers Graham. Yeah, I’m sure I’ll have it out next time. All the best mate 🙏
Another great video, thank you. Loved the equipment review, didn't really miss the trangia masterclass, they're good but a bit lengthy for me, but that's just a personal choice. Keep em coming!
Nice one Phil. Much appreciate the comment. All the best 🙏
I imagine us northerners are constantly struggling to find any bottles with a large enough aperture; it must be very confusing for Londoners to watch this kind of practical documentary.
I’m forever searching for a wide enough aperture Phil. The 2 pint milk bottle is the optimum size I find. 🤣
Can’t comment about Londoners but I’d imagine they’d manage fine with a small water bottle. 🧐
All the best mate 🙏
Yeah baby, I still gotta watch Daves frolics in Majorca...!😄👍
🤣 we enjoyed Majorca. Missed our British summer though 🤔.
Nice one Kev 🙏
I would feel lost without my trangia... I only cook real food too... Though iam considering getting some army ration pack meals for emergency.. at least they're not posh pot noodles , that cost the price of a night out.... Take care out there.
Cheers Juan. Yeah, they’re very pricey. Might just hoy a tin of curry in next time. Although certainly not ‘ultralight’. 🤣
All the best mate.
Excellent Steve. Do we get a discount due to lack of TMC? Tip clip yer milk bottle to outside of yer Atom and leave it there always. Atb
Hi Pete. Yeah, that’s 2 camps in a row I’ve forgotten it. Good tip. All the best mate 🙏
Nice vid as always BAWC , glad you said that about the Trail Star because its one i have considered for a few years now but a month ago i ended up settling for the Six Moons Design Luna Solo because even though like you i love the Xmid i am forever trying to lighten my pack weight without compromising comfort and although i have only used the SMLS twice and its rained quite heavily and been fairly strong winds, so far i am a big fan of it and i can see myself using this right up to the winter months. Its very spacious and provides that all important midge protection and stands up very well to the wind and when its wet it sheds a surprising amount of water unlike a lot of Sil Nylon tents due to the fabric treatments ATB
Hi, thanks for leaving a comment. Yeah, I’d have to say I love both the Duomid and the Trailstar but the if I could only have one it would definitely be the Duomid. I love using it.
All the best mate 🙏
NO TRANGIA MASTERCLASS!!! As a peski-tarian even I drool over the famous chicken curry! Damn you man, damn you for all eternity! Pull the vid down… 😏😉😅
🤣 I know. I feel ashamed 😩
@@belowaveragewildcamper another good watch pal! 👍🏻
@@cawoodsob much appreciated Sean. 🙏
I'm re-watching all the Carter Pike videos since I've just come back from there- smashing place a great gain for not much effort. Really liking your set-up- did you have to buy it from the States?
@@grahamswildcamping hi Graham. Yeah, although I’ve never had to pay any import fees and I’ve ordered a few items from MLD.
Yeah, it’s a great spot. All the best Graham. 👍
@@belowaveragewildcamper interesting, I wonder if MLD have hit on a way of packaging that flies under the radar. Cheers 👍
@@grahamswildcamping I think when they state the value on the outside of the package they under value it……. I think 😬
Where do you get those pole extenders from wor kid?
Hi Sean. I got mine from;
backpackinglight.co.uk
But it looks like they’ve stopped selling them. I’d email them and they might be able to point you in the right direction. All the best mate 🙏
A shame to see the owner of a nvq level 1 in cooking reduced to eating posh pot noodles 😂
😔 I feel ashamed Jon. Although it made a nice change to not be humping everyone else’s dinner around on my back 🤣
All the best Mate 🙏
@@belowaveragewildcamper loving all the vids Steve keep em coming
" no trangia masterclass today"..
🫣. A sharp intake of breath through gritted teeth from me.. 😬. Great film and best wishes. I'm off for a pot noodle now.. 😁👏
I know. I’m bone idle 🥺
All the best mate🙏
