- I walked from the village of Patterdale, skirting below Angle Tarn Pikes towards Hartsop and up towards Haweswater.
I set off knowing that the weather conditions were set to be horrendous, but had still hoped I could get hover il to pitch a tent.
Unfortunately I had a bit of a drama losing my phone in the Ghyll and lost precious time looking for it! This meant I settled for a spot next the the tarn, which was probably just as well as the weather really came in no sooner than when I arrived.
I settled down and cooked a lovely steak washed down with a beer or two with the wind bashing the tent most of the evening.
The following day was in total contrast. Blue skies and glorious sunshine so I went up to the Knott and back down again to Patterdale via Satura Crags, Brock Crags and Angle Tarn. Enjoy and thanks for watching.
You’re absolutely right, it’s the personality for me too!
Really enjoyed the vid , Stunning views!
You gained another sub :)
Thank you so much. I’m just a dour Yorkshireman so not much personality really 😂
Loving the content Mate 👍 that was fantastic luck finding your phone 🤣 just subscribed.
Just bought a frying pan after watching you cook that steak. Next Vid of mine will be st
What pan did you get? Nice to have some proper food, just hope it doesn’t make a mess of your tent!
@@boolay75 I got the MSR wind burner skillet to go on the wind burner
Great video Dave. Beautiful location and hilarious when you got the extreme closeup of the steak. New sub for you. Kind regards Si ✌😎.
Ha, thanks for the sub and for watching! My camera still smells of beef!
Nice video mate, was pretty lucky to find your phone. Glad you managed to find it. Good meeting you out in the fells last night mate. 🏕️👍🏼
You too mate, I normally don’t see anyone so good to chew the fat 👍🏻
Great video Dave, stunning solitude.
It really is!
Simply stunning,love my country debs xx and have a good bank holiday .
Indeed. It’s a world class location! Have a good one.
Outstanding solo adventure my friend, shots are fantastic!
Thanks my friend!
I've been hiking, camping and wild camping in the lakes for a bit over 40yrs now but still enjoy watching videos because you can always learn something new, I actually prefer watching the smaller UA-cam channels. Better content I think. Stop twisting them hotlips you'll knack them 😂. Cracking spot 😉
It’s a great resource. You should do a tent review I’ve owned channel, number 1 to a 1000 🤣.
Top video again Dave, I really appreciate the shout out. Yeah, this video malarky is easier said than done! Lol! Pleased to hear your sub count is on the up and you managed to find your phone! Phew! Look forward to watching future camps on Brock Crags and The Knott. Take care mate👍👍
Cheers Anthony. Hope you get back out soon!
Nicely filmed and enjoyable. You’ve now got another subscriber. I’ve just jumped on the UA-cam band wagon myself and it’s certainly a learning curve. Can I ask is that the DJI mic 2 you are using? ATB Karl
Hi mate. Thanks for watching. Yeah it’s the DJI mic 2. Works well, bit there can be a bit of a delay quite often when connecting via bluetooth and that’s with the DJI action 4 as well.
@@boolay75 Thanks for replying, I’ve got the same camera DJI Action 4 and just deciding whether to get the mic on its own or mic / receiver combo, there’s definitely mixed reviews about the Bluetooth connection. 🤔 Thanks again 👍
I’ve got both. Pros and cons for both like anything but it’s handy just having the mic without the receiver. One less thing to faff about with!
@@boolay75 Most probably the way I’ll be going get both and just end up using the Transmitter via Bluetooth but have the receiver just in case I need it. Thanks for the Sub really appreciated. ATB Karl 👍
Loved the cooking in a tent section. Very impressive. I'm seriously debating buying the Pioneer 2 as a Year round Bikepacking and Backpacking tent. The concerns I have from reading reviews are 1. the inner is too flappy? 2 The corner pegging points are not very good! 3, You get a lot of condensation! 4. I also concerned it might be too warm for summer camping ( This is a major reason for getting rid of my current tent + its tiny). What are your thoughts? what do you think are it's strengths and weaknesses. I was also looking at the more expensive Fjallraven ABISKO Lite 2 which I noticed you also have. How does that compare with this tent.
Hello mate. The Pioneer 2 is a really good all rounder. It’s got its pros and cons as you’ve mentioned. I’ve not really had any issues with it apart from when you pitch it can be a slight faff, you’re right there’s something a bit odd about the corners.
In comparison the abisko is a far better tent and worth the extra money if you can get the b grade option that I’ve got. Appreciate it’s £150 more but the quality, ease of pitching and options mean it’s worth it for me.
@@boolay75Thanks for the prompt response and sorry to push the point but how do you do with the height of the Abisko? On some video of it the people inside seem to be bent over as though it's not very high. One of the things I hate with my current tunnel tent. It is in fact the main thing putting me off the tent. PS I think I can get a B version abisko shape for a good price if its not too long)
@ianmatlock1 it’s lower at the tail end for wind resistance so not great headroom there. Vestibule end you’ve got a decent amount of clearance though, I’m 5’11 and can sit up comfortably even on a mat. I did like the room in the pioneer, it’s just right as a one person tent.
Just found your channel and enjoyed this video.
How do you find the pioneer2 ? I was considering it as a 1 man but have learned that it may have issues with the inner touching the outer at the non vestibule side ?
Thanks. I think it’s the perfect size for 1. Enough room but not too big to squeeze in tight spaces and good head height, and packs away small but I’d say it’s a 1.5 person.
I don’t really have a problem with the fly touching the inner but I know a lot of people comment on that. It’s a great all rounder tent in my opinion
@@boolay75 Thanks for the reply👍
Is there a light hook in the ceiling mate??
Yes there is!
What’s the size of your flex capacitor ?
Hi. That’s the 60-75 litre version. I’ve also got the 45-60 and 25-40 versions. Really good value for money packs.
1.21 Gigawatts! I thought everyone knew that 🤣 (assuming you are of a certain era)
@@matthewcollis6259 yes I am old enough to remember !! Great Scott !!! lol
@@boolay75 last weekend I was out with the 25-40 I needed a small bum bag or Fanny pack (laughter) as well, worked great and will be good for spring summer camps!
Guys, maybe this is too much information for this channel, but am I alone in not being able to sleep with layers and layers of clothing on? It just feels bulky and uncomfortable. Love to hear your thoughts?
Ha. I always sleep with some sort of layer on tbf. Just find it more comfy personally as bags and mats are quite cold feeling.
