Good to hear someone else bang on about fires on the moor, I spent best part of 3 decades up there fighting them, gorse fires are more dangerous than grass but both can spread faster than you can run so never be tempted to investigate, call it in and bugger off quick. Good little film, loved the time lapse.
Wow... My hats off to you! Yea it dawned on me up there how dry it had got in such a short space of time, then how remote it was... Was a frightening thought. Thanks for watching!
Great video yet again, little tip i find works well with the 3x3 tarp tent setup, is to not put the short pole on the inside, instead use a length of cord to the webbing on the outside then wrap that to the pole as a lifter then pull out taught to the ground. Find this method gives you more space inside and no risk of kicking it over in the night.
Bit of a mare but the sunrise in the morning surely made it worthwhile? Good to see you out and about, some great scenery and a great video. Enjoyed the Dartmoor Legend...keep 'em coming.
Another good video! 👍👍Ahhhhhh! The joys of tarping. Think I'll stick to me tent. The time-lapse and the use of Erik Satie music was just wonderful, nice one! ATB.👍👍
The frustrating thing was that it wasn't even that windy, Max. Was short a few pegs and it made all the difference. Apart from that, was a great night. Cheers for watching!
You better had, Mark. I know what its like to buy something andthen never use it... bikes, fishing rods, surf boards.... lol. Thanks for watching, Mark!
I use that set-up a lot and one of the issues is flapping due to the large area of fabric exposed to the wind on the sides. I add a little pebble on the inside and gather the fabric around it with some cord. This makes a guy attachment point on the outside, which reduces the flapping.
@@OffTheBeatenPot hahah!! Ok, I never said I would try and swear less, I just said I wanted to censor earlier vids... I am have been and always will be a potty mouth.. you can take the man out of the building site but you can't take the building site out of the man... or something to that effect... lol
Thanks for the link on the Trespass backpack. Saw the fastenings for walking poles - great! Followed your link and after pondering for a while bought one. Hoping it will do me for three days in France next month (it's small enough to go on a luggage rack on the Eurostar). Sure it will be fine.
This was quite exposed spot, to be honest. Ive seen it from a different angle and it was above everything else around it. No wonder it flapped all night lol
Trev - you are doing nothing to persuade me that tarp camping is the way forward !!! ;-) Give me a tent with all round bug protection any day of the week !! Great video as always.
2nd vid ive seen this weekend of branscombe loaf, never been there..must have a wander up there soon, bit prophetic , talking bout fires on the moors, wasnt there 12 or so that weekend? anyho..lovely vid as usual, nice to see you back out on da moors..ATB WJ
Take a bearing....good grief, you are sounding professional these days mind. What a stunning place to hike out and great weather as well. What an evening indeed and that map looked canny mind, although a compass still baffles me and winging it is what I do a lot as well lol, as well as a few prayers on occasions. It looked a great set up and the Mountain Warehouse sleeping bag looked good, especially as it had your bivvy bag in as well, very compact. Shame the wind got up in the night but at least you had the bonus of a great sunrise. Cheers Alan
I need to keep an eye on the map reading, especially as I let Nath take charge for all those years. Need to know I can find my way about if the weather comes in rough. Cheers for watching, chief!
Nice one Trev 👌. If your new bivi is a British army bivi then it'll be big enough to fit your sleeping mat in as well. Your tarp tent just needs a few tweaks here and there for it to be solid and not flappy. Use the shortened pole outside with a guyline to prop the back out 👍. Had to send my new walking shoes back as the size 9 was really big but took delivery of some 8.1/2s this morning and they are pukker mate. Dartmoor residents now bud 👍. Thanks for sharing Trev. Atb Sconja 👍
That's worth knowing about the mat, may prevent the f***ing thing going awol all the time. Glad to hear you finally got your shoes sorted. Enjoy them! All the best!
Funny you should talk about fires on the Moor as they had one out of control a day or so after you filmed this I think? Great video again mate, really do enjoy your solo's. Our gaff has just gone up for sale yesterday so we're planning on moving hopefully soon too. Not moved in 10 years Take care 👍
It wasn't me if that's what youre driving at hahah.... I'm not surprised, the ground was like tinder. Hope no one was hurt. Good luck with your move - if youre asanythuing like us you would have accumulated some crap over ten years. All the best, mate. Will have to catch up with you and Tim on the moors soon, i reckon!
Have you ever camped in a bivi bag and that's all .. no tarp for added protection. I saw on one of the walking forums that last night there was a Bivi World Record Attempt, which by the looks of the photographs was pretty good. I've never tried camping in a bivi only, but fancy giving it a go. The Alpkit Hunka is a popular choice.
Great vid again Trev. Putting up a tarp tent seems like something off the Krypton Factor (showing my age now). Maybe you could go on Britian's got talent once you've mastered it. I bet Nath had a smile on his face watching that vid lol.
I think I lost a peg or two when we packed up the tents during those high winds with Thom - we were in some what of a rush to clear off. Thanks for watching, Jonathan.
The sleeping mat you linked isn't the naturehike one. The new 2019 naturehike sleeping mat looks interesting though. You can get a inflatable bag with it so you don't have to blow it up with your mouth. I've heard the moisture in your breath can create mold inside the mat.
Little tip for ya Trev,,cut your map into sections of both north and south moors, laminate them and just take the relevant section for your chosen walk/wildcamp..Last for ages mate.
Hi Trev, If you guy our your rear pole on the outside of your tarp you will get a better set up plus loads of more room inside for sleeping and no pole to get in your way.
Is your wife happy or mad you went camping while she sorted out the house? Will Nath laugh at your tarp troubles? Most excellent navigation skills. Good job!
At 5:29 the "stamp" is an orienteering needle punch. Each punch will have a different pattern of needles, you stamp your control card to show you found the place.
Yea I did watch some tutorials before I went out but I hadn't realised half of my pegs were missing... Just assumed they were in there. T*t! Fail to prepare, prepare to fail!
I know - we sorted before the move and cleared loads. We cleared loads during the move and are still throwing stuff out whilst settling in. Unbelievable.
Mate I have done this in every video for the past year and a half. I did it on our scaffel pike vid first for comic effect and it got a good reaction so we kept it. Just goes to show you didn't notice until I mentioned it.

Nice one Trev! Good camp; stunning sunset/rise; you made me laugh with that tarp in the night! A Dartmoor Legend too....most excellent 👍
Yea it was quite an eventful non-eventful night. Glad you enjoyed the video. Thanks for watching!
Dying ! I was crying watching that, so good to see someone show what it’s really like wild camping ! Great work 😂
Hahaha... Glad to hear you enjoyed seeing me struggle lol. Thanks for watching!

Great stuff Trev really enjoyed the vid. Thanks for sharing.
Thanks for watching. Glad that you enjoyed it!
A really entertaining video mate. Excellent tripod shots & continuity.
Cheers Martin. Glad you enjoyed it!
Beautiful to hear the summit or nothing shout again! Stunning views Trev. Ribs getting a little better now. Paul
Glad to hear it, Paul. All the best mate. Thanks for watching!
Another quality video Trev. Your issues made me smile. We've all had nights like that. Keep up the good work pal.
There was no reason for it to be that frustrating either - except I have misplaced a couple of pegs somewhere. D'oh! Thanks for watching!
😂 love the "Dartmoor legends" story, awesome video 👍👍👍
Thanks very much. Glad you enjoyed it!
Bit of a mare but the sunrise in the morning surely made it worthwhile? Good to see you out and about, some great scenery and a great video. Enjoyed the Dartmoor Legend...keep 'em coming.
Another good video! 👍👍Ahhhhhh! The joys of tarping. Think I'll stick to me tent. The time-lapse and the use of Erik Satie music was just wonderful, nice one! ATB.👍👍
Cheers Colin - glad you enjyed it, thanks!
Another great video Trev.. The multiple use of the sense beep is funny... Oh the joys... 👍
Haha.... Cheers Dave. Glad you enjoyed the video.
Oh dear you were not a happy camper! 😂 Love the moonlight sonata, my fav piece of classical music!
Yea, some nights things can get a little frustrating.... this was one of those nights.
@@SummitOrNothing yh not being able to get a fire going even with meths was one of those nights for me! 🤣 Everything was soaking tbf 🤷🏻♀️
Beautiful day and another windy night... The Dartmoor Legends are always interesting... Kind of miss Nate's comments on them... lol.
The frustrating thing was that it wasn't even that windy, Max. Was short a few pegs and it made all the difference. Apart from that, was a great night. Cheers for watching!
That was some sunset/sunrise you got ... absolutely stunning .
Yep - that's what its all about right there!
You just reminded me, I need to christen my new tent, bought last year....😂😂⛺️⛺️, great to see you out camping again 👍👍🍻🍻
You better had, Mark. I know what its like to buy something andthen never use it... bikes, fishing rods, surf boards.... lol. Thanks for watching, Mark!
Enjoyed this & thanks Trev..pleased your channel is doing well👍
Thanks very much - glad that you enjoyed it! Cheers!
2 minutes from Dartmoor! So jealous! I'm over 4 hours away :( Great video as always thanks
I know, I can't believe i'm here some days. Love it! Thanks for watching!
The fantasy of a tarp vs reality. 😂. I’ll stick to a tent 👍. Nice video and keep them coming
Haha... Yea... It was a bloody nightmare lol. Was ok once I fell asleep though. Cheers for watching.

Such a small pack! So Excited/ jealous of your new location. This is one of my favourite parts of the Moor. You're in for a treat!
Yea I surprised myself with that weight. Not bad going. Looking forward to escaping to the Moors more regularly now. Cheers for watching, bud!
I love that about 5 vids ago you're saying you'll try swearing less. Use a tarp.... RAGE

Sorry for late reply... missed your comment. Hope the backpack did you well for your France trip! Thanks for watching!
Good one Trev!! like those Dartmoor! tales!!
Thats good to hear, I'm uploading the legends individually each week at the moment! Thanks for watching!
Another entertaining video - thanks Trev. I was at Branscombe's loaf a week or two before you!
Thanks Stephen. It was a spot that I had kept meaning to get back to. Thanks for watching!
Love the low hills you camp on, lovely easy camping.
This was quite exposed spot, to be honest. Ive seen it from a different angle and it was above everything else around it. No wonder it flapped all night lol
Trev - you are doing nothing to persuade me that tarp camping is the way forward !!! ;-) Give me a tent with all round bug protection any day of the week !! Great video as always.
Its been hit and miss, and I expect that Nath's departure from the channel had a lot to do with him only ever using a tarp! Thanks for watching, Paul!
Please Trev can we have some more ! Love watching you camp 😄👌

12 or so?? woah. That doesn't surprise me, that ground was real dry up there. Worth a look at that old rock. Thanks for watching.

Damn straight. Needed to get away for a nice relaxing night away.... Oh.. well.... Almost lol. Cheers for watching.
Great blog, Dartmoor guide in the making ... good on ya
Haha.... You n ver know lol. Cheers for watching!
Beautiful camp Trev , nowt worse than a flappy tarp lol . not jealous at all you living that close to the moors :-) atb Dave...
A few more pegs and it wuld have been dandy.. lost some somewhere along the line i think. Thanks for watching!

I need to drag some more out for sure haha!
nice hike Trev enjoyed watching
Cheers Craig!

Interesting. Will have to look into that.not sure what I did with the link. Will amend it tomorrow night. Thanks for pointing it out.
Great video 😊🌲
Thanks Hans. Glad that you enjoyed it.
Little tip for ya Trev,,cut your map into sections of both north and south moors, laminate them and just take the relevant section for your chosen walk/wildcamp..Last for ages mate.
Great little too, Andy. I subscribe to is maps so could just print and laminate the relevent pages each trip. May just do that. Thanks for watching!
Hi Trev, If you guy our your rear pole on the outside of your tarp you will get a better set up plus loads of more room inside for sleeping and no pole to get in your way.
Great tip - I will try it although I must admit that rope tying skills are probably awful. Could be worth a laugh for you guys, I suppose haha.
You should use the Jetboil Minimo. You can turn the flame right down..
Yea, I've seen someone else use one since. Decent bit of kit!
Is your wife happy or mad you went camping while she sorted out the house?
Will Nath laugh at your tarp troubles?
Most excellent navigation skills. Good job!
She was glad to have the night off too. And a break from me no doubt haha. Cheers for watching, George.

Hi trev there some good setups for tarps out there.maybe take a look you get it right and it a good night.😎😎
Yea I did watch some tutorials before I went out but I hadn't realised half of my pegs were missing... Just assumed they were in there. T*t! Fail to prepare, prepare to fail!
Haha,tarps are good in a forest or low lands.go up high it's tent time! Cheers
Yeah, but waking up and looking at that dawn sunrise from the comfort of my bed was worth the hassle. Thanks for watching!
Really love your videos and find them very entertaining and have inspired me to do the same 👍🏻 Twin Peaks
Thanks very much, glad that you enjoyed the video! Atb!
cloven hoof on a dartmoor leg end ......... devils cheese lol
🤣🤣🤣
Moved already ! no way :)
Yep. All settled already.
Could you cook your flapjacks on a trangia ? 🔥
Hhmmm. I'll have to ask Thom... He's the expert in that field.
It's so barren, all the trees cut down to graze cattle. We've really messed things up in this country regarding natural habitats.
Yea, its a bit of a wilderness. Is something magic about it though!
That's the thing, it's NOT a wilderness, as wilderness means untouched by man.
Always amazes me how much crap i discover only when moving.
I know - we sorted before the move and cleared loads. We cleared loads during the move and are still throwing stuff out whilst settling in. Unbelievable.
in this age of pc culture you bleep out swear words ffs .. I am un-following
