Cheers very much! You guys must think I was fishing for compliments again lol.
great to see you back and you never let any of us down ,there s enough stress and pressure in life without adding to it by trying to shoot video.ive always loved your videos especially dartmoor but sometime s its nice just to go on dartmoor and enjoy the peace without thinking about a video .shoot a video when you feel you want to and ill always look forward to them .take care .
Brilliant to see you out and about Trevor.
Your a legend don’t you forget that brother .
You haven’t let anyone down great to see you hiking again .
The sleeping mat looks ace 👍
Cheers Carl! Yea, was happy with the mat.
Just look after yourself and the family Trev
Sometimes life is tough Trev especially at the moment. Do what you do for yourself and don't apologize for something you haven't done.
Thanks Sammy! All the best!
Not let us down at all Trev. Your content inspired me to get out to dartmoor for my first wild camp last year, and I’ve done 4 since, you gave me the confidence to just go for it. Thanks for everything. Great to see more content but you just do you!
Cheers Rimmsy. Thanks for watching!
Cheers Trev.. that vik2........... "suits you sir!"..... u may not have been up any mountains lastt year but u probably moved a couple.. if ur housemove was anything like mine lATB
🤣🤣🤣
Now this sleeping pad is an innovation
Yea, a decent bit of kit for sure. Cheers for watching!
Remember family comes first, always a pleasure watching your video when they drop, I'm sure when the weather picks up we'll see more of you, stay safe 👍
Cheers Neil!
Love all that you do. Do it at your own pace.
I love it when your video pops up on my feed.
Awesome, thanks. More soon I hope!
That is a very warm sleeping pad, I purchased it and I keep my word
That's great to hear Christophe. Look forward to testing it out in the colder weather.
Don't be sorry about not filming Trev. In the big picture its not important. However, you having a great wildcamp is the important thing. ATVB Graham
Do videos whenever the hell you feel like Trev. So good to see you back out mate!
Cheers bloke!
Missed this and missed you Trev. Always great to see you out on the moors 👍Thanks for posting this Trev. Cheers Pete😊
I can totally understand just wanting to go out and having a good time and not worrying about recording it. Having UA-cam outdoor channel is a lot of work. A lot more than I think most people understand. It looked like a peaceful camp and you got rest and that's important. I dig the green tent a lot! One part I especially liked in the video was when you were sitting there in the tent with the music playing and it seemed like a very calm and contemplative moment and then you heard something and attributed it to pixies 😅. Cheers Trev! I hope you find good rhythm between life and UA-cam. I look forward to the adventures that you put out.
Well, it probably was pixies lol
Thanks Trev! Great to see you again! As always, can’t wait for more adventures 🤩😊😎
What a view to wake up to. Nice video
Bless you, obviously needed that camp! I love it up there and never found anywhere dry to pitch so well done!
That sleep pad looks awesome, well worth checking it out if anything happens to my Thermarest!
Cheers Trev, hope you’re ok lovely xx
Thanks Karen. Yep, this camp definitely hit the spot. Hope you're keeping well! Thanks for watching!
Enjoyed that ,thank you.
Hey have some free time man there's more to life than you tube 😉 18:10
Yea, things have been crazy busy in life recently, so yea, its as and when at the minute. Was good getting out again though.
Amazing to see you out again. 👍
I enjoyed this quite a bit. Thanks for sharing. I've been feeling the struggle to get out but once I'm there I'm at peace. Glad you can enjoy those moments up there for yourself.
cheers for taking the time to do these vids brother!
04:52 reminds me of Fog on the barrow-downs in Lord of the Rings!
Thank you. I've never camped on Dartmoor. It's so beautiful and atmospheric. Beautiful filming. I'm glad you enjoyed it. I don't blame you for not wanting to film all the time. I never film at all...I admire those that can!
Take care of you and yours. 😊
Is always a pleasure to see your video.
Stefano from italy🎉
Cheers Stephano!
Good to see you out again Trev 👍
Nice to see you out and about doing a camp again Trev😁. Those Tors are on my bucket list for a camp this year too! 👍
Another great film, thanks Trev
Thank you, Martin
Really enjoyed this👍, thank you
Thanks for watching, Lee.
Great vid👍👍
Always good to join you on your hike/camps. Thanks i enjoyed it.
No worries Maggi. Glad that you enjoyed it!
You chose a good spot amongst the rocks. I always enjoy, thankyou
Thanks Annie!
Nice one Trev, good to see you out.
Cheers Jason
Those Pixies!
I love Trevors technical information, got those giblits!! always entertaining!!
🤣🤣 isn't that what they're called lol
Good to see you back out Trev, laughed when you were looking about and just said pixies. 😂
I needed this video trev ❤ thanks will check out that pad
Thanks for watching! Glad that you enjoyed it!
love your videos and the banter is brill keep it going you bring joy to many hats off sir
Cheers Mike!
Cracking tent, very similar pole design to the terra nova northern lite that I've just got. Completely get it about going out not filming, it takes over sometimes and u forget to enjoy it as much. Nice to see u back out atb paul 👍
About time Trevor 👍👊👊
Luv the vid, reminders me of walking with the grandlads when they was so littles. Miss its. Enjoy the beaut country.
Cheers Peter!
I felt like I have needed the same but just too knackered to do it so we'll done you! This was a just keeping it real video and all the better for it. Nice one Trev.
Cheers Dave. Yea, was well needed. Hope you get out soon. Must admit, the weather hasn't helped motivate this year
well done - nice honest video - looked like you needed that. the one thing a wild camp tends to offer is no clutter - especially if you haven't got a phone. hope you do more walks without the camera - looks like you need the time out, channel or not. - happy walking
Film when you feel like it, relax and enjoy the camp when you don't feel like filming. That way, we get the best of you and you don't feel pressured to produce the next vid.
Cheers mate. I've kind of come to that conclusion myself lately
brill well done you ,its all about the self time and mind see you on the next one
Nice opening sequence and nice general mood throughout the rest of the video. Very restful to watch, which is nice.
I upgraded to the Vik 2 off the back of your last video. Found the Vik 1 a bit too small for me. Loving this new colour. Thanks Trev for highlighting this model in your last vid, much appreciated. Speedy delivery from your Aliexpress link at just 7 days from China. 👍🏼
Hi Trev, nice camp. The new gear looks good. I haven’t camped in ages, I really need to make more of an effort. 😊
Hi Rachel, yea some nice gear. To be fair, until now not been the best weather for camping so you probably havent missed much.Hope you get out soon!
ya do what ya need to do Trev Look after yasen n family first 👍🏻👍🏻🍻🍻
Cheers Craig.
Nice vid Trev and nice to see you out again 👍. I felt sure you'd done at least one W/Camp since December... I'd have lost that bet. Interesting mat and I think I'd prefer the tent to a lightweight pole tent if I was doing a multiday hike (which I'm not 🙃🤣). Pole breakage would be a worry for me.
You have not let anyone down trev i go camping i don’t film sometimes you just want to get away from youtube and take a break great video
Keeping it real mate.
The test is I would say very successful, I mean you did pass out in it for a good few hours, and that counts for something. 😂 Low cloud in the morning is really amazing, what a view! Lovely to see you out and about. 👍
Cheers Tommy!
I was out Monday night as well but on Fur tor and no-one about! So we saw the same sunset albeit I started back about 0530 so got the sunrise as well walking back via great links :-) had a good night as well 👍
Awesome Chris. Still need to venture back to Fur Tor as you know. This year I will. Missed the sunrise this time round too. Slept so well though. Cheers for watching!
@@SummitOrNothing was a good walk, started at Sourton and then followed your route down Mine Leat and then up Tavy Cleave over to Fur Tor. Hadn't been there before and was great to have it all to myself! Cut back in the morning towards Great Links and Bleak House, that was a bit hard going over some boggy ground!
trev i think you ave the air bed the wrong way up mate it should be the silver side up mate you done the same with the trekology pillow but i didn,t want to mention it but sick video mate and loverly views
Good to see you back out Trev. Looks like you needed it 👌
Hey up gaz .
You should camp at Wharram Percy next to the old church creepy there mate .
It’s near Thixendale definitely catch some ghostly things there mate
Cheers Gaz! Was definitely needed
@@carladams837 I'll check it out mate 👍
Good to see you back out trev, Speaking of nath not seen him on the channel much you to got anything in the pipeline ?
Not gonna see Nath for a while now. He's busy working most weekends, has told me that he'll be tied up most weekends for a couple of years 🤦♂️
Nice to see you back out Trev! 👍👍
What was the tent like with condensation ?
Cheers Graham
It wasn't too bad.. a bit of condensation but not enough to mention.
👍
Very nice Trev. 👍 (I could not bring myself to hand over so many sheckles for a Neoair Xtherm.. have just got the Rab Stratosphere 5.5 Long Wide. Much cheaper. Hopefully work out.. 🤞) Look after yourself mate.
Cheers Gary! Funny that RAB should be a cheaper option.
Nice one trev.I think there’s a song in there somewhere .someone will tell us.👍
I for one am happy for whatever whenever you can. I think all you tubers at some point have a bad patch for one reason or another. I follow a fair few different channels and all of them have had their struggles and come out the other side. Take care mate see you on the next one 👍
Yea, it gets in your head sometimes, was nice to take a step back for a spell. Cheers for watching!
Do you know why you are so popular Trev? ... well, I'll tell you why.. you are us... life affects us all.. keep going mate.. 👍👍 💪
Cheers Dave. I often ask myself that question lol
Just enjoy yourself first mate, or it will feel more like a job than you relaxing and sampling the outdoors. We’ll all be here when you’re ready.
Cheers Steven
Absolutely agree with m0ther0ne! Love everything you do and if that’s only once in a while then so be it. Work and life has to come first. Don’t stress about it Trev….we ain’t! Can’t wait to catch up soon 👍
Thanks very much!
Hi Trev.
Great vid. Camped on Wild Tor a couple of weeks ago.
Great sheltered little place, right in the middle, in a Horseshoe of rocks out of the wind.
You tried it?
All the best.👍🏾⛺️
Not camped there yet, but have visited. Great little tor. I hope to check it out soon. Cheers!
Trev man it’s dead dead good to see ya out on a camp again 👌🏻 Do you know if they’re doing a VIK1 in green btw?
Haven't seen it yet in the green, hopefully they will though. Cheers for watching!
Great to have you back Trev, love your videos👍
Nice and quiet, although it was a different story the few days before, as the Army’s Ten Tors event meant 2500 teenagers were out there (including my daughter and her team). Like the look of that tent, but can’t decide between the Vik 2 and Mongar 2. 🤔
Yea, saw that there was a good turn out this year. I would say that the Mongar 2 will probably be better for later in the year, its amazing what difference having a second skin can do. Cheers for watching!
@@SummitOrNothing - yep, bought a Mongar 2 last week, thought about a Star River 2, after watching your comparison, but I have a Phoxx 2 already for more robust weather. The Mongar 2 is a spacious summer option for if all the family go out. Only tested it in the garden so far last weekend in sunny south glos. I like it. All lime green lightness (I bought the lighter coloured one), nice with the mesh inner, feels like summer. No tent is ever moisture free though I reckon, as that night was a low of 6 degrees and quite damp, there was some evidence of moisture on the fly inside surface at sunup, but nothing major, and bone dry inside the inner - it dried out fast as soon as the sun was on it. Reckon the Vik 2 makes sense if doing some distance, or if you don't mind a bit of mopping down sometimes.
oh look so yadid heheh
Nice to see you uploading videos again Trev. Always a pleasure!
and you haven't let anyone down mate. When I went to Dartmoor last I just took some photos and didn't video anything or edit anything. Not as big a channel or prolific a video maker as your good self but I can see the appeal of offline camping.
Yea, its a far more relaxing experience. Thanks for watching!
When will you test naturehike cloud wing 2 tent? Seems to be a better very lightweight option for cloud up 2, with much more headroom
Great video trev, great to see you out again
Thanks Bobby
Trev maybe that sound was the werewolf of the moores
I did wonder that, Ray 🥺
Trev, in your opinion below which temperature you will not be comfortable using the Vik 2?
1st🤘😎
HELLO. LIKE. LIKE. VIDEO.
You come first, without you, there would be “no us”.
Thanks Bucksie
Great video Trev. Looked like a good camp. So you rate the LoghtTour then?
Yea, it appeared to do the trick, I know it wasn't the coldest night to test, but it was certainly comfy
Cracking video where abouts did u park?
Just beneath West Mill Tor
Shame they don’t make the vik 1 in this colour. I have it in white and like it but it’s a tad garish!
So overall the pas has passed the test? You see wanted to to buy Nemo Tensor LW, however the price has gone up and is now 260€,so I'm looking for a more affordable alternative but thta is still warm and comfortable enough. I wanted the Tensor as I've heard the Thermarests aren't as comfortable. So I'm looking for something a bit more comfortable than the Neo Air pads.
Yea, its decent, but being single skinned it wouldn't be that good in winter, I wouldn't think.
Good morning. Can you put 2 regular wide slepping pads in the Vik2? Are the seams waterproof? THANKS
Seams are waterproof. I have a Trekology UL80 and you won't get two of them in there. About 5cm overlap if you tried.
@@allieandmaria thank you
Yea, I'd imagine it's a bit of a squeeze. I've had two matts in te Star River, when I went out with my son. Was a bit cozy but we fit, just about. I've always said, ypu probably wouldn't want to fit 2 men into a 2 man tent, but it's fine having the extra space for one man.
I'd not like to camp next to those transmitters the electrical waves probably went into your head and sent you to sleep Trevor 😅
They're just flag poles, Ant
Back on the hill doing what you do best entaining us
Trev, have you seen the nature hike cloud wing 2 man tent ? I can’t see any reviews on UA-cam of it.
I've seen it, but not seen it if that makes sense.
@@SummitOrNothing I have it but never used it, not sure how great it will be in win. You fancy trying it ?
@@Donscoular I'll chase naturehike for one at a later date I reckon mate. Not sure when I'll get to use it at the moment. But thanks for the offer.
You've not let anyone down Trev.
What did you think of the tent?
Yea, I liked it mate. Seemed to do the trick and surprisingly roomy inside
Am mising the bird that sounds like a UFO landing nearby.
🤣🤣
How was the tent mate over all ?
Yea, I enjoyed it. Easy to go up, was spacious... a little condensation in the inside... I like it a lot
Love it m8 where abouts did u park?
West Mill Tor
Cheers m8
I thought wild camping on Dartmoor was illegal now?
No, they're just trying to monetise it.
looks like you just pressed the reset button.
I think I did, Gary!
What’s this? Country file?
🤣🤣
Gotta defrag your own mind first mate
Good to see you back out again Trevor👍
Good to be back out, Gordon!
👍
